Chapter 346: Celebrity Message
In fact, what he wanted to say was, "Now I think you're as cunning as Popovich." β
However, Duncan did not understand Chinese culture very well, and he saw Deng Hongfei smile, even if he thought that he agreed with his statement.
So he retracted his gaze with satisfaction and continued to look at the campus environment.
Instead, Parker, who had been smiling all the time, took the initiative to speak, "Deng, what puzzles me is that there are so many basketball audiences in China. β
"With such a large base, why hasn't China's basketball level reached the height I imagined?"
"In my memory, even the Chinese men's basketball team with Yao had the best result in the Olympics was only eighth place."
"But the Chinese men's basketball team almost beat Spain that year, didn't it?"
Deng Hongfei responded with a light smile.
Parker nodded thoughtfully, "But I know that in the past few years, you didn't show the level you should have in London and Manila. β
"This."
"Of course, there are problems."
Deng Hongfei thought for a while and said: "Although the audience of Chinese basketball is very large, there are very few people who are really willing to embark on this road and take basketball as a professional. β
"There is a deep-rooted belief in China that everything is inferior, only reading is high."
"Because college students are focused on playing basketball, it's hard to make sure that they can get into a professional league or a high-income semi-professional league after graduation to make ends meet."
"Even in Chinese universities, there is a lack of access to professional leagues."
"Of course, there are many reasons for this, and they are inextricably linked to training conditions, eating habits and social concepts."
"All in all, China is not like the United States, which even if it can't play in the NBA, has a lot of high-level semi-professional leagues to make ends meet."
"And American universities have always paid attention to the combination of training and study, even if you can't play basketball, it is easy to find a livelihood with what you have learned in college."
"The two countries are a little bit different."
"There's another very important reason."
"There is a saying in China that the poor are rich in martial arts, which means that the poor are educated, and only those from well-off families are qualified to practice martial arts."
"Playing basketball is equivalent to practicing martial arts, and it is also manual labor."
"In the process of training, a lot of nutrients will be consumed and equipped with certain equipment, so you need a certain economic foundation."
"There are quite a few families who can't afford it."
"That's why it's decided that many Chinese children who love basketball and sports will find it difficult to set foot on this road."
"But."
Tim Duncan frowned deeply, "There are also many stars in the NBA who came out of the slums, and they didn't have enough food and clothing when they were young, why can't they be, but not Chinese children." β
"Because there are differences in ethnicity, there are differences in eating habits, and there are also differences in the level of social welfare security."
"These are long questions, and if you see LeBron another day, maybe you can ask him what he ate when he was a child, and you'll know."
Deng Hongfei finished answering with a smile, and the Spurs stars understood it one after another.
"Let's go, I'll take you to the basketball arena."
Speaking of this, Deng Hongfei said hello to Wu Junhao, who was crowded in the crowd not far away, and led the team to the basketball hall.
He could see the envy in Wu Junhao's eyes.
And the latter is obviously much stronger.
Obviously, Wu Junhao has not worked hard during this time, and he has lost a lot of fat......
Since the topic naturally extends to Chinese sports.
Deng Hongfei was on the way, which naturally led to the topic of the Foundation.
He said that the Guangya Sports Fund is a foundation established by himself to support children who are gifted in sports.
In this regard, Duncan, Ginobili, Parker, and Mills all praised it highly.
They also expressed interest in checking out the Foundation.
Things are going well, which also makes Deng Hongfei breathe a sigh of relief.
In any case, it can be regarded as a perfect completion of what Daddy explained, right?
He thought about leading Duncan and them to the basketball arena.
Once again, it caused a sensation and shock.
Kang Bo and Jiang Xueshu didn't expect that the former protΓ©gΓ© would actually invite a group of bigwigs to visit.
It's all NBA stars.
On weekdays, it can only be seen on TV.
But now it's really in front of you.
The GDP trio, as well as Mills and Kangbo, and Jiang Xueshu, briefly exchanged views.
I felt a little sorry to know that it wasn't school training time.
However, I saw Feng Xiujie who was practicing three-point shooting with the help of a passing machine not far away.
"Is this also a member of the varsity team?"
Duncan asked curiously.
"Yes, his name is Feng Xiujie, and he is the captain of our Shuangqing University basketball team."
Deng Hongfei nodded.
Duncan looked at it for a while and praised, "The shooting is not bad, at least the consistency in training is good, and I can probably maintain an 80% shooting rate." β
Ginobili agrees, "The hand shape is okay, it's very fixed, it looks like muscle memory is good, and it should be practiced many times." β
Their words were recorded by reporters at the scene.
Feng Xiujie was immersed in his own world, and he didn't expect that a casual conversation between two NBA superstars would later become a pass for him to turn his fate.
After Kang Bo heard Deng Hongfei's translation, he immediately called Feng Xiujie.
After the latter came over, he was startled by Ginobili and other stars.
The whole person has become a little restrained.
"You're shooting well."
Ginobili said: "Have you ever wanted to go to the Pro League? β
He remembered what Deng Hongfei said before, and wanted to confirm whether it was really so difficult for Chinese college students to enter the profession.
Feng Xiujie nodded after hearing this, "It's my dream to enter the professional arena, but I haven't reached the professional level yet. β
"I went to try out several CBA clubs and they were all turned down."
"Wow."
Ginobili sighed and shrugged, "It seems that Chinese college students really lack access to professional basketball. β
"But I can give you a little advice, I think your shooting is very good, is there a specific connection to this skill?"
Hearing his words, Feng Xiujie subconsciously glanced at Deng Hongfei and smiled, "Yes." β
"It's good, good catch-and-shoot ability can help you find your niche in a professional team faster."
"When you're strong enough to get the ball your teammates pass to you and shoot it to the basket, I'm sure you'll be able to make it to the Pro League."
"Hmm."
After Feng Xiujie heard these words, his heart moved.
Ginobili has always been one of his favorite stars.
And what he said has the same thing as Deng Hongfei.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but cast a grateful look at the latter.
