Chapter 49: Hometown Media

Bosh's powerful dunk seemed to shatter the Wizards' self-confidence, and then the Washingtonians made two unsuccessful attacks in a row, and the margin was stretched to double digits.

Wade returned to the court with two minutes to go, which was the straw that broke the Wizards. In the end, the Miami Heat defeated the Washington Wizards 107-95 at home to achieve their first win of the regular season of the new season.

Lost the first game of John. Wall was a little depressed, but he also restrained his aggression during the game, hugged Addison, and walked into the players' tunnel. The Wizards' core statistics are not bad, with 19 points, 8 assists, 6 rebounds and 1 steal, which is the best performance among the backcourt players on the team.

"To be honest, the result of this game was not what I expected." Kenny. Smith was slightly surprised and said to the two partners, "The Miami Heat, who are unanimously disliked by the outside world, actually played a smooth offense and showed good defense when facing a team as strong as the Wizards?!" It's unbelievable! ”

"The Miami got an outstanding rookie this year, and it's really a *****magician" while putting on a trademark smile while commenting, "The Heat's offense today can be said to be quite fluid, and a large part of it is due to this rookie organization. But he's a 'very good rookie' right now...... That's how I rate him, and it couldn't be higher. ”

Barkley looked at his two commentator partners and pouted: "Well, if you want me to say, the situation in the eastern part of the league this season may be very interesting......

"How? Girl, how do you feel about this game? Uncle Qi looked at Lin Yanmo, who tapped his chin with his fingers, as if he was thinking.

"Hmm...... You alright. The young woman hesitated, not knowing what she was thinking.

"So, has the perception of that rookie changed?" Uncle Qi got up from his seat and asked as if nothing had happened while packing up his things.

"I'll admit, Addison is not bad, maybe he's going to be the best rookie in this game. He's got good physicality and his passing skills are good. Lin Yanmo also stood up and stretched slightly, "But that's all I see now, he still has a long way to go from being the top point guard in the league." ”

Uncle Qi smiled very calmly, and pushed his glasses up: "It's good, it's good, it's good......"

"Uncle Qi, what did you say?"

"I mean, for a rookie like him, 'good' is the best place to start."

Chris. Bosh had 25 points, 15 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal and 1 block in this game, and from the statistical point of view, he was indeed the biggest contributor to the Heat's victory, so Spoelstra took him and Wade to the post-game press conference.

The 'Flash' played 31 minutes in this game, scoring 21 points, 3 assists, 1 rebound and 2 steals on 8-of-16 shooting, which is considered a normal performance.

Ruhr. Deng played 30 minutes, shooting 2-of-3 from three-point range and finishing with 17 points and four rebounds, and his off-ball offense and wing defense were an important guarantee for the team to win.

However, the reporters gathered in the locker room paid the most attention to the Chinese rookie who scored 12 points, 13 assists, 4 rebounds, 3 steals, 1 block and 2 turnovers in the first regular season game of the NBA. There is no shortage of players in the league who have made their career debuts with double-doubles, but every time it happens, it always attracts attention.

Especially as a Chinese, Addison should be the most successful yellow man in NBA history.

Yao Ming made his NBA career debut, playing 11 minutes and only taking two rebounds on 0-of-1 shooting, with 2 turnovers and 3 fouls by the way; Wang Zhizhi scored 6 points and 3 rebounds in his NBA debut; Yi Jianlian scored 9 points and 3 rebounds in the first game of the regular season in 2007, but was fouled out for 6 fouls; As for Jeremy Lin's career debut...... 3 minutes, 0 points, 0 rebounds, 0 assists......

Addison's debut was much better than that, and as a rookie, it was good enough. NBA reporters in North America are not laymen, and they can see how much of a role Addison's playmaking played in this game.

The rookie who came ahead of Addison in the draft pick - Andrew. Wiggins played 19 minutes in the just-concluded game between the Timberwolves and the Grizzlies, scoring only six points and three rebounds on 2-of-5 shooting, and committing four fouls; Addison's good friend Jabari. Parker's performance was also not satisfactory, playing 37 minutes and scoring 8 points and 4 rebounds, obviously not adapting to the rhythm of the NBA; Aaron in fourth order. Gordon played well, coming off the bench to score 11 points and 3 rebounds on 5-of-8 shooting in 28 minutes; As for Dante. Exum, the Australian point guard who has been loved by Jazz management, played only 10 minutes in his debut, scored five points and made three turnovers, and was then pressed to the bench by head coach Schneider......

Marcus, the sixth pick. Smart was efficient, playing 28 minutes and handing over 10 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists; Julius, the seventh in line. Randle, the poor power forward, suffered a serious injury to his right leg in the first regular season game of his career, and left the court after only 14 minutes, and the stats were fixed at 2 points.

In terms of his debut, Addison did lead all of his peers in this rookie class, although in North America, many people are reluctant to admit it.

However, when the swarming reporters handed the microphone to the dazed-looking Chinese boy, they instantly realized the embarrassment of the question.

As an aphasia sufferer, Addison couldn't speak at all, and the only thing he could do was smile awkwardly into the microphone and savor the embarrassment of the air suddenly being quiet.

The boy could play sign language, but none of the reporters in the group knew sign language......

James. Ennis and a few other guys were laughing and hugging each other, a sight that is rarely seen in the locker room, and Addison was the first player to choke a reporter speechless.

***

- You played well today, boy.

Addison, who was lying on the bed, couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth as he watched the message Joe sent to him. Although his dad likes baseball rather than basketball, he always goes to watch Addison's games.

- You're stealing the limelight from all of us, buddy! At the price, when I get to Miami to play away, you're going to treat me to dinner!

Jabari. Parker's information was also squeezed in, and the guy was obviously jealous of Addison's data. The Chinese boy pursed his lips, not going to be deceived like this.

- Come on, you sinister megalomaniac at heart. I heard you suffered a setback today? Did that guy Gilchrist embarrass you?

- There's no way that guy can stop me! I'm just not in good shape...... Look, when I get to Miami, I'm going to beat up that Englishman on your team!

- Okay, I'll wait.

After teasing each other with his best friend, the boy put his phone aside, closed his eyes and let out a long breath. He now has some apprehension that he hasn't felt in a long time, and after the first regular season game, he doesn't know what the outside world will say about his performance, and he doesn't know if the uniform team is happy with his performance in this style.

His agent, Sam. Bernie has already informed him that there will be an interview specially prepared for him tomorrow, an unsolicited invitation from China's largest basketball magazine media.

China...... Addison silently recited the ancient and familiar name in his heart......

Speaking from the heart, Addison had a deep affection for his hometown. He was born in T on the north coast of China, and came to New York with his father when he was four years old. Although the memory of his hometown has faded to the end, he has been touched by his father since he was a child, and he still has a deep affection for China.

Interviews with Chinese media...... What will it look like?

***

When Uncle Qi and Lin Yanmo were invited to the professional interview room by the publicists of the Heat team, it was already the afternoon of the second day.

"Please wait a minute, Addison has just finished participating in the team's joint practice, and he will be coming over soon." The staff politely explained to the man and woman, and then walked out of the interview room.

Lin Yanmo and Uncle Qi looked around, and they could see that the management of the Heat team was very good at communicating and showing to the outside world. The waiting room lists the honors won by many teams, and they are neatly arranged.

"Thanks to scheming...... It seems that this is the same for both Chinese and foreigners. Lin Yanmo curled the corners of her mouth and said to her seniors, but her beautiful smiling eyes revealed silence and a hint of indifference at this time.

"Hehe, after all, it's a place for external publicity. It's a team that wants people to feel its history, even if Miami isn't a team with a lot of history in the NBA. Uncle Qi carefully looked at the group photos of the championship players, and nodded slowly, "...... Pat. Riley, indeed, is a shrewd character. ”

The middle-aged man straightened his waist, looked at Lin Yanmo, who was interested on the side, hesitated for a moment and said, "Girl, don't hold yourself today Stephen. Curry's identity as a fan. We're here to interview Addison today, this is a big task in the society, and there can be no mistakes. ”

Lin Yanmo glanced at the other party, and pursed her pink lips again: "I know, Uncle Qi, I have a sense of proportion." ”

At this time, there was already the sound of footsteps outside the door, and the two reporters hurriedly sat down again, and invariably switched to a professional gentle smile.

The door was pushed open, and three people entered. One of the young white men in a suit was none other than Addison's agent, Sam. Bernie; And the Chinese who followed him in the Heat captain's sleeve tracksuit and smiled shyly was the protagonist of today, Addison. Quiet.

The third person, Uncle Qi and Lin Yanmo, who didn't know each other, was a well-dressed white woman, who should be around forty years old, with no expression on her face.

"Tell me about it," said Sam. Bernie saw the confusion on the faces of the two reporters, and hurriedly introduced to them, "This is the sign language teacher hired by the Heat team specifically for Eddie. Ms. Lessench. She is not only proficient in sign language, but also in both English and Chinese. ”

Alvin. Lysench nodded to them and said hello in standard Chinese. The two reporters hurriedly got up and returned the salute, and with this bilingual sign language teacher present, their interview would go much smoother.

"Let's get started now, Eddie is ready." After everyone was seated, Sam. Bernie smiled and gestured to the two reporters.

"Okay, let's get started."
