Moderator: Hello Yang Yiming, welcome to the studio of the "Impression of the Mountain City" column.

Yang Yiming: Hello host.

(The host at the scene is a tall woman in her thirties, wearing a black dress with white polka dots, with an intellectual appearance and a slightly old-fashioned hairstyle.) She speaks briskly and speaks a bit like Lu Yu, the famous talk show host Yang Yiming has watched. She is said not to be from Chongqing, but she is very popular in the local area, and today in order to interview Yang Yiming, she also specially found a souvenir teacup of Team Rocket and placed it on the coffee table in front of the two as decoration. ）

Moderator: How does it feel to be back in your hometown?

Yang Yiming: It's hot. It felt hot, stuffy, as if the water vapor had evaporated into the air and then froze there, and it couldn't go anywhere. It is indeed a familiar, Chongqing feeling.

Moderator: Can you first say hello to the audience in your hometown and the audience in front of the TV in your hometown?

Yang Yiming: Brother and sister beauties and handsome guys in Shancheng, good evening. - Actually, I can't speak Chongqing well, I can only talk so much, I'm really embarrassed.

(Yang Yiming has lived in a relatively simple environment since he was a child, and has always followed his father Lao Yang.) The latter himself is not a native of Chongqing, and he has always been required to speak Mandarin when he was growing up, so the course of Chongqing dialect is considered to be a failure. ）

Moderator: It's okay, it's already very authentic. After all, although Yiming is now a player who has come out of Shancheng, he has already represented China internationally - first of all, I want to congratulate you on winning the 2017-18 NBA championship with the Rockets. It's fair to say that this past season, your performance has surprised all veteran and non-veteran fans, and it really is as good as your name, which can be described as a blockbuster.

Yang Yiming: Thank you. The season was tough, but we got the final win. To be honest, I just feel like I've done what the team wants me to do, I've done my part in a championship-caliber team, it's all the result of all of us working together, and I'm proud of this Rockets.

Host: But in the eyes of the fans, your experience is already legendary.

Yang Yiming: Opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared. All I can say is that I'm ready at all times, and when the opportunity to play in the NBA really drops in front of me, I don't have to panic, I don't have to say: no, I'm not ready.

Moderator: Can you share with me what kind of preparations you made for this day in the NBA?

Yang Yiming: Practice every day, and climb up step by step. It's a bit like the road in Chongqing, there are a lot of steps, just bury your head and climb up.

(The audience laughs.) Anything that touches on local life always seems to resonate with them. Maybe it's because this is usually a talk show with the theme of interviewing interesting local people in Chongqing, so it's more enjoyable to hear about topics close to daily life, Yang Yiming thought silently. ）

Moderator: I heard that you spent your time in Chongqing until you were 12 years old, and your father was your basketball coach?

Yang Yiming: Yes. In fact, he has been working on the Yangtze River cruise ship at Chaotianmen Wharf in Chongqing. He is not a native of the country, but he just happened to settle here, and he was a little reluctant to travel around, so a cruise ship that could travel to and from all parts of the Yangtze River was very suitable for him. Of course, basketball is another dream of his, and he passed it on to me since I was a child.

Moderator: You can say that this dream has come true, right?

Yang Yiming: Part of it.

Moderator: Oh, how do you say that?

Yang Yiming: Basketball has always been a dream of my father. He also played basketball when he was young, and it is said that he was also very talented, but limited by that era, his basketball dream died abruptly, and he came to Chongqing after a long time. I was able to join the NBA by chance last season, and I can only really realize his dream of going out with basketball...

Moderator: So in his eyes that's just the first step?

Yang Yiming: Hmm. He could have hoped for something a little more "ambitious". I became a basketball star in the American world, that was his ultimate dream.

Host: But I think you're a football star now. At least in the eyes of our 30 million Chongqing people, you are definitely our proudest basketball star, right?

(The audience responded with great enthusiasm to the incitement of the intellectual hostess.) It seems that she does not only mingle with the locals, but also knows how to coax just right to mobilize one of the biggest urban hobbies of Chongqing people: "watching the excitement". It's just that Yang Yiming knew in his heart that the definition of this star was not up to standard at all, so he shook his head with a smile. ）

Yang Yiming: My level is not enough, I am not that kind of star.

Moderator: What kind of star does he want you to become? Does he himself have an NBA player he admires?

Yiming Yang: Dr. J, Julius-Owen.

(Yang Yiming also remembered the poster of Julius Irving's dunk that Yang had been sticking to the wall in the cramped room for many years and had not been replaced.) Although the color of the poster has long been not bright, it has been given a special meaning by the person who posted it, as if it is still glowing. ）

Moderator: So your English name is Julius...

YY: But I actually prefer my Chinese name. Poplar. Dr. Yang。 It all sounds good.

Moderator: "Dr. J" and "Dr. Yang" - at least you already have a nickname as famous stars, I wish you more and more success in the NBA, and realize your ultimate dream and that of your father as soon as possible.

Yang Yiming: Thank you.

Moderator: I heard that your hometown of Chongqing will be the last stop of your trip to China. Can you tell us about your plans for this summer, and it seems that your next stop will be to go to Germany for special training? …

Yang Yiming: Yes. After the event in Chongqing, I will go to Wolfburg, Germany, mainly to maintain my form, and do some targeted training on some of my technical weaknesses such as shooting, in order to improve. After the summer, there will be the national team's competition tasks in the Asian Games (Yang Yiming thought of the Sino-US warm-up match mentioned by Stella, but in the end deliberately concealed it), and I will return to the United States after the Asian Games to join the team and prepare for next season.

(Yang Yiming couldn't help but feel a lot more relaxed when he heard that the host finally ended the topic of Lao Yang and basketball.) ）

Moderator: Will the goal for next season be to win the championship?

Yang Yiming: That's right. It should be said that the goal of each season is and will never change. At least I would like to hope that as long as I'm still playing, I'll always have the quality to compete for a championship.

Moderator: That's a great point. Not only to be ready at any time, but also to always strive for the championship, this kind of optimism and resilience is really imprinted by the people of Shancheng. I see that your father, Lao Yang, did not come to the scene today due to time reasons, but can you finally tell us how Chongqing and his people, such as your father, have influenced and shaped you, and finally you can have such an achievement today?

Yang Yiming: This...

(He really thought that the conversation about Lao Yang and basketball was over.) It seems that as a popular host of a popular column, it is really not only necessary to capture the hearts of the general public, but also to never forget to mention and sublimate the theme, so as to firmly grasp the golden microphone in his hand. It's just that to really answer this question, Yang Yiming really wants to unfold the memories that he was originally unwilling to unfold... ）
