Chapter 50: A Bitter Chill

"Hello, Addison, I'm the editor-in-chief of the NBA section of China's "Dunk" magazine, and my name is Qi Yuan." Uncle Qi stretched out his hand and shook Addison's hand, "This is Lin Yanmo, my partner." ”

Lin Yanmo smiled professionally and stretched out her white palm. Qi Yuan found that the boy had an obvious pause when shaking hands with the opposite sex, and the handshake was relatively light, vaguely unnatural.

…… Personality is more introverted, not good at dealing with strangers, especially with strangers. Years of interview experience allowed Qi Yuan to immediately make a general judgment on Addison's character, and he had a bottom in his heart.

- You can call me by my Chinese name, I have a Chinese name. The boy gestured to the two reporters, and Alwyn next to him immediately translated the meaning.

Addison took out his mobile phone, called up the Chinese input method, and typed two Chinese characters.

"Enron?" Qi Yuan glanced at it, and didn't know what to say about this rather soft-sounding name, "Mr. An Ran, then I'll call you that, okay?" ”

……

- I started playing in the American standard Division I when I was about 13 years old, and I've been playing until now. If I have any understanding of American basketball, all I can say is that basketball here has always adhered to the code of higher, faster, and stronger. Even in training matches within the team, we gave it our all.

- I've watched the CBA league and know about it. On the whole, the CBA league is already a league with a very mature system, and its flaws should be in strength. In my opinion, there is a big gap between the intensity and rhythm of the CBA game and that of the United States.

- Let me judge myself, after all, I have just entered the NBA as a league, and I don't have enough experience to make an assessment of myself. Of course, I hope to win a lot of accolades in the future, but for now, I'm just going to take it one step at a time.

……

The interview went quite smoothly, and even went well beyond Qi Yuan's expectations. Originally, Qi Yuan thought that this boy with aphasia would have some kind of communication blockage and difficulty in communicating, but the fact was the opposite, Addison was quite clear in both his reaction and thinking. Underneath his introverted personality is his extremely keen observation and tactful but point-to-point thinking about problems.

A 19-year-old child can have such a mature and sharp sense of observation, and when he expresses it, his words are not sharp, but it sounds very easy to be accepted. Qi Yuan couldn't help but be surprised by this, and sighed for a long time in his heart.

"You can see that you are very observant, Mr. Enron." Qi Yuan still couldn't hold back the surprise in his heart and sighed. Addison just smiled and shrugged his shoulders, noncommittal.

"Mr. Enron-" Lin Yanmo, who was sitting on the side and rarely spoke, suddenly spoke at this time, with that professional smile still on her face, "Do you think that you are now far from the top point guard in the league...... For example, Stephen. Curry, what kind of gap is there? ”

There was a sudden stiffness in the interview room where the atmosphere was still very good just now, and Qi Yuan almost choked on his own saliva and coughed up. He never thought that he had instructed so clearly before, and this girl still made things happen to herself in the interview......

What a nonsense! No matter how young lady it is, he will sue this child above when he goes back this time!

Sitting on the side of Alvin. Lysench frowned, looking at the rather young female reporter. She knew very well what the hidden meaning of that sentence was, so she felt a little annoyed.

Sam. Although Bernie couldn't understand Chinese, he could feel the sudden change in the atmosphere, and he looked at these people suspiciously, not knowing how to react for a while.

Lin Yanmo kept a smile on her face, and she also regretted her impulsive questioning, but she really couldn't stand Qi Yuan's compliments while asking questions just now. The other party is just a newcomer who has just entered the alliance, do you need to hold him up so high?!

The embarrassed girl shuddered suddenly, and she felt an extremely cold and cruel gaze stabbed directly into her body like a sharp knife. Just for that moment, she could feel the paranoia revealed in that gaze, a suffocating paranoia...... As if she had been targeted by a venomous and aggressive snake, she couldn't help but shudder.

Won't it be ......?! Lin Yanmo looked over in surprise, but found that the cold light had disappeared, and the boy opposite was still the same as before, his eyes were calm and gentle. He gestured to the young woman, still so polite.

- Of course there will be a gap, I'm still just a rookie, and Stephen is already an All-Star point guard. But our style is different, and he's not my development template. As I said earlier, all I have to do is go one step at a time.

The boy's avoidance of the sharp answer gave the two reporters leeway, and Qi Yuan hurriedly asked another slick question, bringing the topic over this embarrassment.

It's just that in the next time, Lin Yanmo was completely out of state, her hair was half lowered, and her eyes didn't dare to stay on Addison for too long, and she quickly moved away after occasionally glancing at it.

Lin Yanmo was very sure that the chill just now, and even a little cruel and violent eyes, was thrown at her by the gentle and introverted boy in front of her!

That's not the eyes of a young man who has basketball as his biggest hobby and whose life experience has only been spent at home and on the court! That kind of gaze that was so violent that it seemed to kill her in an instant was absolutely impossible!

***

About half an hour later, the two reporters left the team's practice center as they saw off the Heat's publicists.

The two walked to the parking lot without saying a word, and after getting into the car, Qi Yuan pulled his seat belt for himself, and then reminded Lin Yanmo solemnly: "Girl, you just did a little too much, do you know?" ”

The girl looked at the scene outside the car window, and her tone of response was a little weak: "I understand, Uncle Qi, I did something wrong." I'll reflect on it, and when I get back, you can report my mistakes to the company. ”

Such a painless admission made Qi Yuan not know how to continue, he was stunned, and then he had to let out a long sigh and start the car.

"Uncle Qi, do you know what happened to Addison before he was adopted by his adoptive father?" After being silent for a long time, Lin Yanmo asked as if she had suddenly woken up.

"Before being adopted?" Qi Yuan frowned, "There is no detailed information in this society, but I heard that his biological father died of illness when he was twelve years old, and a few months later, he was adopted by his current adoptive father. ”

Lin Yanmo's delicate fingers gently touched his lower lip: "Before he was adopted, Addison had been living in Harlem, New York, right?" ”

"yes, why are you asking this?"

The young woman didn't answer, just pursed her lips. She felt as if she had found a clue that might explain the bone-chilling look in her eyes.

***

With his excellent performance in the first game of the regular season, Addison once again gained the attention of the national basketball community. Many people didn't expect that the most low-key mute Chinese in this lottery rookie would be such a fierce existence after entering the field.

The Miami Herald has even begun to estimate Addison's chances of getting the Rookie of the Year at the end of the season, and judging by his first-round performance, he is indeed the most convincing candidate.

"Add, if you won the Rookie of the Year, would you treat us to dinner?" On the American Airlines plane, Wade shook the newspaper in his hand and asked Addison out loud.

The boy glanced at the entire team, shrugged his shoulders, and made an "OK" gesture. He's also hungry for accolades, and if he can really win the Rookie of the Year this season, it's certainly not a problem.

"That's good, you can treat us to Chinese food." Bosh laughed and accosted him, having won the Player of the Year award in the last game, and he is in a very good mood now, "Remember, I like to eat prawns. ”

The Heat have a good atmosphere in the team right now, and that's what the uniforms want to see. After a day's rest, they're flying to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, to take on the Philadelphia 76ers on the road.

In the second regular season game of the new season, Spostela must win against the 76ers, who have been rotten for a long time, so the tactics he arranged this time were quite offensive.

The Philadelphia 76ers' No. 3 rookie selected this year, Joel Brown. Embiid is a very talented center, and he would have been the most anticipated figure in the team's rebuild. It's a pity that a serious injury before the season made him directly reimburse for the season, and I'm afraid the 76ers will continue to wait in the swing.

After a night's rest at the hotel, Spoelstra called Addison over the next day during the team's acclimatization.

"You should know that our opponent is not very good in every way." The Filipino showed the boy the opponent's player profile, "The only thing they need to pay attention to in their lineup is the starting point guard, who is called Tony. Roten's guy. ”

Addison nodded, he knew Tony. Luo Teng, the No. 25 pick in the first round of the 2012 draft, has quite good physical fitness, but it is also quite good physical fitness.

"You may not have done much of this task I am going to give you before, but I hope you can do your best to complete it today." Spoelstra patted the boy on the shoulder, "You're going to beat Tony. Roten, as long as the only point of concern for the 76ers is defeated, then all five of their positions on the court will collapse. ”

Burst? Addison glanced at the head coach. It's a task he's not done much before, and there's Jabari at Duke. Parker is a super scorer, and the task of blowing up others is generally carried out by Parker.

However, it seems like a lot of fun to do a new mission...... The boy nodded to the manager, signaling that he understood.

"That...... You know the definition of beating your opponent, Eddie? Spoelstra was a little uneasy, for fear that the rookie, who had always been a playmaker, would not understand the significance of the task.

Addison smiled when he heard this, he remembered that the old Coach K gave Jabari. Parker's words explaining what it means to explode seem to have been a long time ago.

He nodded earnestly to the coach again.

- I know, sir, I know that.
