Chapter 112: Aftershocks continue
Today's Roy is becoming more and more comfortable with the media.
In Lonzo Power's absence, he took all the spotlight by himself.
Shirley, who is still petite and exquisite, grabbed the front row position, her face is full of admiration, and she looks like a little Roy fan, not so much in an interview, but in disguised praise of Roy's great achievements.
"Roy, first of all, congratulations on winning the tournament and breaking multiple California Championship records, do you know what miracles you've done?"
"Miracles?" Roy said to himself, he was looking at a technical statistics table, Roy's stats in this column are: played 32 minutes, shot 32 of 47, shot 68.09%, shot 14 of 21 from three-point range, shot 66.67%, made 14 of 15 free throws, shot 93.33%, rebounded 15 (3 rebounds in the front court, 12 rebounds in the back court), 6 assists, 10 blocks, 12 steals, plus 5 turnovers and 3 fouls, of course, all the negative stats were left over from the first half" Stain".
"Yes, you're the player with the highest single-game score since the inception of the California Championship." Shirley excitedly shouted at the camera, "A full 92 points, you're a Chamberlain-level performance, I dare say that no other high school student in the whole United States has a way to get this score." ”
"Thanks, but I think it's just a normal win." Roy lightly brought this topic that was enough to blow others for a lifetime.
is a Roy who regards honor as dung, and his attitude immediately infected the reporters around him, which made everyone feel more and more that Roy was hidden.
Roy wasn't pretending to be an X, he really didn't know his place in the history of this fight, how many California Championship records were broken in this fight? Let's take a look at a few big records, including the record of the highest score of a player in a single game, the record of the highest score of a player in a half court, the record of a player in a half court shooting, the record of a player shooting a three-point shot in a single game, the record of a player shooting a three-point shot in a half court, the highest score of a team in a half court, and so on......
To sum it up in one sentence, Roy really became famous.
Shirley was obviously not done yet, and she continued to look for a topic: "Roy, many people are saying that the current Chino Gang High School is your team, can you tell us about Lonzo Ball and his two brothers?" ”
Roy had already guessed that there would be such a problem, he pretended to think for a moment, and then replied: "Lonzo they are just sick, nothing happened, you can also see, the team is running quite well today, I hope they can recover soon." ”
Well, well, the team without Lonzo is working quite well, and a satisfied Shirley has found the news, and Roy's well-prepared answer will lead to a lot of stories......
Of course, these are all later words, and now Roy is more interested in the game in front of him, and after playing two games, Roy has a general understanding of the level of the California Championship in the United States.
Not to mention the status of California high school students in the United States, at least for now, Roy really feels that the little California Championship is a little inadequate. With today's performance, he believes that he will win the championship in the future, and it seems that this competition is at best a scoring machine that provides himself with attribute point rewards.
It would be nice if they could enter the NBA directly from high school like Kobe Bryant and Kevin Garnett, but unfortunately the current NBA league has ordered to prohibit high school players from entering the NBA directly in order to prevent players from coming into contact with professional basketball too early, which has caused a large number of high school players to announce their participation in the draft after only one year of college.
For this phenomenon, Roy's "mentor" Abdul-Jabbar is also distressed, and he has repeatedly reprimanded current college players for not wanting to hone their skills at all, and just want to enter the NBA early to earn a lot of money, which makes the NCAA an embarrassing springboard.
But in other words, if Roy had to choose, would he have the peace of mind to play four years in college before going to the draft? After graduating from my senior year, I was already 22 years old at that time, and I really didn't have much potential to tap.
So star players like Tim Duncan, who didn't participate in the NBA draft until he graduated from college, are almost extinct in the future.
When Roy was still thinking about how to enter the NBA more quickly, Su Dong came over with two Chinese.
At this time, Roy had already finished accepting the interview with reporters, he had just sent Cheng Zixi's brothers and sisters away, and was about to pack his belongings and prepare to board the bus, Su Dong saw the situation and pulled Roy and the two strangers to the corner of the court.
"Roy, let me introduce to you, this is Jin Yijie, the assistant coach of the national youth team, and this is Yang Zhe, the physical fitness coach of the national youth team." After Su Dong's introduction, Roy politely shook hands with the two of them one by one.
These two coaches are about the same age as Su Dong, with a strong body, and they look like people who are engaged in sports.
"Roy, let's make a long story short, this time we are here to take the task of Fan Bin, the head coach of the national youth team, to inspect your performance on the spot." Jin Yijie took the lead in explaining his intentions.
"Judging by your performance today, you are really good, I can't put it into words."
Jin Yijie didn't lie, the game just past, I'm afraid it was the craziest game he had ever watched on the spot, and for the entire sixteen minutes of the second half, he almost kept praising Roy with Su Dong and Yang Zhe, so much so that he forgot to check Roy's own work, and finally could only ask for a statistical table of the game after the game as a reference.
Roy probably doesn't know how famous he is in China now, not only a large number of fans are paying attention to him, large and small media are reporting on him, and even the national team has begun to notice this high school boy who plays in the United States.
It's not often for the national team to send people overseas to scout players.
It was a unique first time to examine a high school player.
Jin Yijie's mission on this trip is to inspect Roy's performance on the spot and make a scouting report, while Yang Zhe is here to give Roy a physical fitness test, if these two coaches approve it, then Roy has a great chance to be selected for the national youth team.
Judging from the fascinated reactions of the two of them today, Roy's selection for the national youth team is basically eight or nine.
The rest of the work is not a matter of course.
Yang Zhe didn't even want to put Roy to the test professionally, because Roy had already shown all his athletic talent on the court, and he was a Chinese talent who beat future lottery rookie Anibogu in seconds.
It also happened that Roy had done a self-directed and self-acting physical fitness test before, and this report was still stored in his mobile phone, and he took it out at this time, which caused Yang Zhe to be amazed.
"How?" Jin Yijie asked Yang Zhe, who was watching the report.
"Perfect, his physical fitness is now nine out of ten in the CBA, what else can I say, I can't believe that you haven't received professional basketball training."
"If you had received professional training since childhood, how good you would be now." Jin Yijie said with emotion.
Trained from a young age? Then I may not be the person I am now......
……
On the bus back to Los Angeles, Roy asked Su Dong about the national youth team's inspection.
"Brother Su, did you invite these two people today?" Roy has long been accustomed to Su Dong's various coquettish operations, he will always invite a lot of strange people to watch his games, including the media and sponsors, this time the game is bigger, and he is actually the coach of the national team.
"No, no, you are too exalted of me, although I admit that these two are my alumni brothers, but I can not move them, this is the result of your strength, your brutal performance and statistics, the national team will notice you sooner or later."
"And what are they here for?" Roy doesn't understand what it means to be a national team.
"Do you need to talk about that? Of course, if you're lucky, you can play for the Chinese youth team. ”
"The national youth team? Brother Su, do I have to participate in this kind of competition? Maybe it's not as high as the California Championship, right? ”
"No, you have to go, and I'm telling you, it's not just a matter of national honor, it's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to go straight to the NBA, and you have to take it."
