Chapter 19 Interviews with Journalists
The effect of training together is different, at least the shooting is boring and you can still play bullfighting.
The feeling of shooting is different from shooting in actual combat, for example, Li Ming's shooting rate can reach 70% when he was unguarded before, but in the confrontation with Dunn, the shooting rate can only be maintained at 40%.
This is still a situation where neither side is more serious, if it really makes a spark, I am afraid that Li Ming's shooting rate will fall below forty percent. This shows that Li Ming's muscle memory has not changed.
Of course, he hasn't trained many times since he accepted Nate's physical fitness, and this situation is normal.
At 10 a.m., the players were almost there, but Pinckney didn't come, and the summer league training was very loose, unless there was a change of formation or an unexpected situation, or the head coach would not be there to assign tasks.
Dunn went to do strength training after playing for a while, after all, he has only been in the league for a year, and there is still room for improvement in size and strength, Li Ming originally needed it, but he directly inherited Nate's physical fitness from the system, and he didn't need to do intensive training, at least for him at present, the most important thing is to play against the Lakers, play Ball, if the game is not handled well, it is very likely to be burdened with negative evaluations, which is not what he wants.
For three days in a row, Li Mingtian soaked in the training ground, doing nothing, just practicing shooting, the first to come and the last to go, so perseverance made many players in the stadium change their attitude towards him.
Everyone will respect those who work hard, especially if you are already strong.
On this day, he was the last to leave the arena as usual, and was about to lock the door of the arena - the manager of the stadium couldn't afford him, so he was given a special key to lock the door when he left.
A female reporter and a photographer suddenly rushed out in front of him, and before he could react, the microphone was already in front of him.
"What?!" Li Ming turned his head and glanced at the female reporter, and I have to say that the appearance of a woman who can be a reporter is basically not bad, and the one in front of her is the standard blonde hair, blue eyes, white skin and beauty, and every random action is a poster.
"Li Ming, I'm Lisa, a reporter from Tiger Basketball, can I interview you? I've been waiting outside the arena for a long time! The female reporter obviously knew Li Ming, and called out his name as soon as she opened her mouth.
What a rookie needs is exposure, and Li Ming naturally won't refuse.
"Okay, then I'll start asking questions!" Lisa was very professional, and as soon as she saw Li Ming nodding her head in agreement, she immediately entered the state of visiting, "May I ask why you didn't respond to Daddy's speech recently, there are rumors that you are afraid of him?" What are your thoughts on this? β
"Huh?" Li Ming was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, he has been training in the stadium recently, from morning to night, he didn't pay much attention to the news on Twitter at all, it is estimated that this big mouth said something demeaning to him, and then said, "For people like Ball Dad, I have paid attention to it once, and I really haven't paid attention to what new statements he has made recently, but what I want to say isγγγγγ Trouble can you close your stinky mouth and watch the game properly, or one day you will hurt your son! β
Lisa didn't seem to expect Li Ming to say this, she had also visited Chinese players before, such as Sun Yue Yi Jianlian or something, but most of the Chinese players were very modest, and the Chinese players in front of her seemed to be different from them.
But as a reporter, I like players like this, because only when they talk like this, the news can be attractive, and their interviews can be valuable, so she immediately asked a second question: "Tomorrow night, the Bulls are going to play against the Lakers, and you have to play against the ball, I don't know how you will defend this new star who has just achieved historical statistics." β
"How to prevent it?!" A trace of entanglement flashed on Li Ming's face, he really hadn't thought about this problem these days, glanced at Lisa, and only felt that her eyes were full of expectation when she looked at him, that's right, just say that, just say it, that kind of inciting look of expectation, Li Ming simply didn't get entangled, and said bluntly, "I haven't figured out how to defend yet, but how many points Fox scores in front of him, I can score more points than Fox!" β
"Yes, that's rightγγγγγ Ah~ very, very good, I didn't expect Li Ming to be so confident! Lisa almost didn't scream after listening to Li Ming's answer, this is the answer she wants, competition! How can it be compared without the smell of ignition powder!
It's really a big deal to see the excitement.
The answer to both questions must be a zero from the player's point of view, but in the eyes of the reporter, this is the standard answer, and they wish that the players would choke all day so that their job can be easier.
Lisa's expression behind her was obviously much more relaxed, thinking that her task was completed, and this interview could definitely be added to the bonus.
After asking two more random questions, Lisa left with the photographer, Li Ming shook the door of the arena to make sure it was locked, and then went straight back to the hotel.
That night, he was about to go to bed after taking a shower when Bruce's call came again.
"Dude, you've been calling a lot lately!" Li Ming made a joke.
But Bruce's voice was not so relaxed: "Ming, do you know who the reporter who interviewed you today?!" Lisa! NBA All-Star Game Reporter! Do you know how many people she tweets?! β
"Uhγγγγγ I don't know! Li Ming really doesn't know, his focus is on NBA players, and he is really not very familiar with these reporters or something.
"Ten million!! My man, the video of your interview with her today was tweeted by her, and 10 million fans have seen your speech, man, you are so bold, if you don't perform well tomorrow, you will be laughed at by your fans to death! Bruce's tone was very excited, no wonder, this time Li Ming's opponent was extraordinary, it was a super newcomer who had just broken the summer league record, and the hope of the revival of the Zijin Dynasty! Although Li Ming overpowered Fox, so what, but only 20 points and 5 assists, where can it compare to Ball's 36 points and 11 assists, which is almost twice as much!
"Forget it, you can play well! As long as you can make a draw, no, even if it's a little bit worse, I don't think the fans will embarrass you! Bruce said that at the end, there was a sense of breaking the can, and before hanging up the phone, he added, "By the way, don't log Twitter today, so as not to affect the mood!" β
βγγγγγγβ Li Ming listened to the blind voice on the other end of the phone, and shook his head speechlessly, "Did I do something wrong?!" β
Li Ming still listened to Bruce's words and didn't look at Twitter, since the latter specially reminded him, the comment must be very frustrating, so he still didn't read it.
"Big said, go to bed early and wake up early is good!"
