Chapter 60: Hot

"The Wolverines are in the quarter-finals and it's not my personal data that matters, so we have to thank all the fans who have supported us and thanked them for not giving up. Without their support, we would not be where we are today. Sun Yue answered the questions raised by the media very appropriately when facing the long guns and short guns of the media after the game.

"I've forgotten about Joaquin. What Noah said to you, maybe it was an April Fool's joke. The ESPN reporter asked Sun Yue about Joaquin. When Noah had any thoughts on the pre-match provocation, he said lightly: "It's just a trivial matter, whether it's before or after the game, I didn't take him seriously at all." ”

"So Joaquin. Is Noah also an insignificant person to you? The reporter smelled his favorite smell of gunpowder and then continued to ask.

They clearly underestimated Sun Yue's cunning, and Sun Yue replied evasively: "I hope he can become a famous player in the future." "Not only did he succeed in resolving tough problems, but he also showed the grace of a winner.

The University of Michigan Wolverine's advance to the quarterfinals surprised many people, although the Wolverines were well-known in the league in the 80s and 90s, but in recent years they have even broken through the top ten leagues, and now they are actually an absolute dark horse all the way to the quarterfinals, attracting everyone's attention.

As the absolute core player of the Wolverine, Sun Yue has once again become the NCAA player of the year. His stellar performance in the tournament also boosted his draft prospects, and several sports media outlets also raised Sun Yue's position in the draft rankings, with Sun Yue moving up to seventh in ESPN's draft simulation, draftexpress putting Zhou Zheng in eighth place, and even Yahoo Sports, which is not on good terms with Sun Yue, put Sun Yue in the top 10.

After the game, Sun Yue became the focus of sports media, and he also began to be interviewed by the media. Especially on the second day after the game, he accepted an exclusive interview with Su Qun, editor-in-chief of China's "Basketball Pioneer Daily".

Su Qun was also very conflicted before interviewing Sun Yue, on the one hand, he was also worried about the pressure from the Beijing Chaoshen Club, and on the other hand, as Sun Yue's performance in the NCAA tournament got better and better, the fans' demand for Sun Yue's news reports also increased sharply.

Su Qun even remembered the "helpless teenager" close-up he had taken for Sun Yue two years ago, and he felt that out of his love for basketball, he should also report on Sun Yue, as for the pressure of the Beijing Chaoshen Club, Su Qun, who was born in CCAV, was not very worried.

As one of the leading basketball reporters in China, Su Qun's interview angle was also very cleverly chosen, and he began to ask about racial discrimination on the court, which started very cleverly, and this sensitive topic can attract the attention of fans and even non-fans. And it can dilute the label of "problem player" that Beijing Chaoshen Club tried to put on Sun Yue.

Facing Su Qun, Sun Yue began to calmly recount his experience: "When I first came to the United States, I attended a California state high school, and I was discriminated against a lot because of my skin color. What impressed me the most was that I was always reminded to play 'table tennis' before every match, and some people even shouted at me from the stands during the game, 'Go back to China'. ”

"If the yellow race wants to be recognized in the United States, it has to be very good, better than everybody. And for a yellow player to be recognized in the American sports world, he must be better than other athletes. Now I did, and now all the people who have mocked, ridiculed, and insulted me have become my fans. ”

Sun Yue faced the camera and showed a calmness completely different from other athletes, which made Su Qun think of Yao Ming. Both of them are talking in front of the camera like this, which is very different from other athletes who are either nervous and stuck, or bombastic in front of the camera.

"You led the University of Michigan Wolverines to the NCAA quarterfinals this year, which is a very good result, what is your ultimate goal?" Each of Su Qun's questions is obviously instructive.

"There is no doubt that our goal has always been to win a national victory." Sun Yue showed unparalleled confidence in front of the camera.

Su Qun asked a very sharp question: "Regarding the accusation against you by the Beijing Chaoshen Club, what do you want to say to basketball fans across the country?" ”

Sun Yue knew that sooner or later a Chinese reporter would ask him this question, his expression suddenly became solemn, he sat up straight, and replied seriously: "The accusations against me by the Beijing Chaoshen Club are all in vain, and now I am all devoted to the NCAA Championship, and I don't have time to pay attention to this." But when I finish my college career, I'll leave it to my agent and lawyer, and I reserve all legal rights. ”

Su Qun captured an important message: "Are you saying you'll be in this year's draft?" ”

"That's right, I'll be in this year's draft." Sun Yue said categorically, answering the last question of this interview, both of them were very satisfied with this interview, Su Qun got the news he wanted, and Sun Yue finally had the opportunity to express his thoughts.

In the past two days, Sun Yue has been interviewed by the Basketball Herald, ESPN, and the New York Times, and has become a hot figure in the American sports world for a while. I met David from New York. Falke, the latter has contributed a lot to Sun Yue's affairs during this time, and behind these interviews and public opinion is David. Falke's shadow, or there are many potential rookies in the quarterfinals of the championship, how can public opinion focus on Sun Yue alone.

David. Falck is also very interested in his new customer, David. Falck in Michael. After Jordan retired, there were no more superstar clients on his hands, and in Sun Yue's body he saw his hope of recasting his glory. Falck's unlimited potential in Sun Yue, his strong competitive spirit, and his huge topicality and Chinese identity all see the potential of the next superstar.
