“…… Uncle Sagar! ”

Looking back, the famous "Mr. Color" Craig Sagar stood in front of Xiao Yu with a smile, causing Xiao Yu to exclaim.

"Haha, why are you so surprised, did you see a ghost?"

Sagar was lively and cheerful by nature, and he made a joke and laughed heartily.

"Hahaha, you're still so humorous!"

Xiao Yu has a lot of respect for this old-timer, in fact, the reason why Xiao Yu can enter the catwalk is somewhat due to Sagar's help.

Xiao Yu's parents are middle-class in the United States, and his father has always liked the NBA very much, and he used to take Xiao Yu to watch the game.

Xiao Yu, who lives in Los Angeles, has the home team in his mind, of course, the Los Angeles Lakers. At a young age, she has already fallen in love with the sport of basketball, and in the stadium, she can often see this beautiful Asian girl, waving her pink fist to cheer for the home team players.

In Staples, Los Angeles, Xiao Yu and her dad attracted the attention of Sagar, who was on the air live. After several interviews, Sager's enthusiasm gave Xiao Yu a good impression. Xiao Yu's down-and-out generosity also made Sagar quite appreciative. The two sides developed a feeling of close family affection, and they have always been in contact with each other.

For Xiao Yu, Sagar is like a kind uncle in the family, when Xiao Yu was very young, Sagar said to Xiao Yu's father:

"Xiao Yu is so smart and reacts so quickly, don't be a reporter in the future!"

"Don't, don't, it's too tiring to be a reporter......" Xiaoyu's father hurriedly smiled and waved his hand.

Who knows, Sagar has a good milk, and when he grows up, Xiaoyu really became interested in journalism, and finally applied for the journalism major.

Knowing that Xiao Yu wanted to become a sports reporter, Uncle Sagar was overjoyed, and using his contacts in the TV station for nearly 30 years, Sagar helped Xiao Yu introduce him in many ways, and successfully let Xiao Yu enter the TV station.

And Xiao Yu did not live up to the love of this uncle, his work performance was extremely good, and it didn't take long for him to be able to take charge on his own.

"It's been a long time since I saw you, Uncle Sagar!"

After work, Xiao Yu went to ashes all over the country, and although he and Sagar were still in contact, there were not many opportunities to meet. The reason is very simple, both of them work on the catwalk, and it is rare to send two reporters to the scene for the same game.

"Yes! I thought you had forgotten about me, uncle! Sagar smiled and nodded.

"Look at what you said." Xiao Yu smiled: "How is your health lately?" I'm going to interview the POP coach again today, and if you're not in good health, you'll be frozen to death by his answer! ”

"Don't worry! I've done everything I can to get here, believe me! ”

As he spoke, Sagar reached out and pulled out a shirt from under the hem of his suit: "Thickened, anti-freeze and warm, absolutely effective!" ”

"Hahahaha......"

chatting happily, Xiao Yu only felt that he felt as if he had returned to his childhood. The uncle in front of me, after so many years, has not changed at all.

Craig Sager, brothers who are familiar with the NBA have more or less heard of his name, or even if they don't know his name, when they see his familiar smile and always fancy suit, they will slap their thighs "Oh~~~ It's him!" ”

Sagar's job is not really a journalist or a commentator. Sagarh's main business is also related to sports, and he also loves basketball, and from time to time he will do some leftover reports for major sports channels in the United States.

Over time, the TV station discovered Sager's language talent, especially the enthusiasm during the interview, and the unwillingness to admit defeat without fear of sticking to the cold wall, which is very suitable as a reporter for the football game. So after coming and going, Sagarh became the most famous "sideline reporter" in the United States, and every time he left the country, he would always wear all kinds of colorful suits, which also became his symbol.

What Sager does best is conducting interviews with full enthusiasm. No matter how cold and indifferent the interviewee is, he can defuse the embarrassment with his trademark laughter, and he is a typical good old man.

The most famous is his "grudge" with Spurs coach Zhuge Vic. How many times have I interviewed at the Spurs' home stadium, Zhuge Vic, who doesn't like to reveal too much information, always receives reporters with a cold face, and when answering questions, every sentence can talk to death, I don't know how many reporters have been scared away.

And Sagar is undoubtedly Zhuge Vic's happy enemy. The "coldness" of the Spurs coach and the "fire" of Sagar can burst out a lot of jokes every time.

The most commendable thing is that no matter how cold Zhuge Wei was, rejecting people thousands of miles away, Sagar never showed the slightest dissatisfaction or impatience. Every time they met, they still came forward with enthusiasm for an interview, and then they were coldly pushed back by the spur drunkard.

"I heard you've been with the Kings lately?"

After some greetings, Sagar said with a straight face: "Is it because that hairstyle brother ......??" ”

"Hmmm......"

Xiao Yu blushed when he was asked by the uncle's question, lowered his head and played with his cuffs and said, "You can't say that......"

"Haha, it's okay, it's okay, I know you're just working, just working!"

Sagar saw Xiao Yu's thoughts at a glance, and didn't say much, and said with a smile: "But I think if you can find a Chinese boyfriend, your parents will be happy, right?" If you're still a basketball player and play in the NBA, your dad would be so happy! ”

"Eh, uncle......!"

The little shyness was about to run away.

"Hahahaha, just kidding, just kidding!"

Sagar smiled, looked at Gu Yu who was warming up on the field and said, "But to be honest, this hairstyle brother, I'm really optimistic." ”

“…… Oh? ”

I heard the uncle praising the man...... Ah no, I'm praising the fellow, well, yes, fellow, Xiao Yu Mei raised his eyes and said, "Are you optimistic about him?" It's true?? ”

"Of course it's true!"

Sagar nodded solemnly and said: "I have been covering the NBA for almost 30 years, Jordan, Kobe, LeBron, Wade, Durant, Chen Mu...... I've watched and studied all the top scorer games. Although everyone's style and technical characteristics are different, there is a common trait in a scoring maniac. ”

"Common traits? Say...... Murderous? Xiao Yu asked.

"It's not just murderous."

Sagar shook his head and said: "Or it should be said that scoring maniacs have murderous energy, but athletes with murderous energy are not necessarily scoring maniacs." You see Garnett is also murderous, and Rodman is murderous, but they can't be considered scoring maniacs. ”

Xiao Yu said thoughtfully: "Then what do you mean......"

"How can I say it......"

Sagar frowned and said, "It should be said that it is a belief!" ”

"Faith?" Xiao Yu didn't quite understand what Uncle meant.

"It's the kind of, 'I don't care how famous you are or how much stronger you are than me, or how many people you're going to use to defend me tonight, whether I feel good or not. I just believe that as long as I want to score, the whole world won't try to stop me'! ”

Sagar's summary is also verbose enough......

"So, do you think Gu Yu also has this kind of belief?" Xiao Yu looked at Gu Yu, and between his eyebrows and eyes, there was actually a little tenderness.

"More than that."

Sagar laughed, "I think he's in a worse situation. ”

"Bang bang...... Call! ”

On the side of the court, Gu Yu made a stop-and-go jump shot after dribbling, and after landing, he didn't look at the basket, and turned directly to Evans, who was practicing dribbling, to ask for the ball.

"There is a temperament in him that is above that, not the feeling of 'I want to score', but ......"

Sager's eyes became a little confused: "It's the natural arrogance and calmness of 'I'll score, get a lot of points, you guys, you guys, are all rubbish'." ”

Take it easy......?

Xiao Yu still couldn't understand what the uncle meant.

Gu Yu is a person...... No matter how you look at it, it doesn't match the word calm!

"Eh, I can't express it clearly, but when you have been a journalist for 30 years, you will understand!"

Sagar didn't say anything more, said hello to Xiao Yu, and turned around to prepare for the pre-game interview.

“…… Brother-in-law! ”

Without waiting for Sagar to walk away, Xiao Yu opened his mouth and stopped the former.

"You know the Spurs very well, and today ...... Will they make a special defensive arrangement against Gu Yu? ”

Xiao Yu asked with concern.

“…… Yes. ”

Sagarh hesitated for a moment, felt that this was not a secret, and nodded generously: "That drunkard said, the Spurs are not the Heat, Thunder, and Mavericks, and it is impossible for a rookie to score 25 points in the AT-T center." And he also said......"

"What else did he say??" Xiao Yu asked, frowning.

"He also said that today's hairstyle brother's score will not exceed 5 points."

Sagar's face was serious, not at all like he was joking.

When Zhuge Vic said such things, was he serious, or was he telling a bad joke?

Basketball fans all over the world probably don't know the answer.

After all, strictly speaking, it is not surprising that a crane tail in a second-round show cannot score 5 points in a single game against the team with the best record and strongest defense in the league.

And with the defensive strength of the Spurs, if you really want to lock Gu Yu, it is easier than drinking water.

But......

"But I'm optimistic about him, hairstyle brother."

Sagar saw that Xiao Yu was worried, and said with a hearty smile: "I think he will definitely be able to continue his good feel, and he will be twenty or thirty points!" ”

About an hour later.

“…… Syllable! ”

The game has come to the second half of the second quarter, on the court, Gu Yu received a cross from Casby, and when the shot stopped urgently.

"Prime Minister" De Juan Blair flew up from the side, a big cap fanning the ball straight out of the sideline.

“…… Roar——!!! ”

Blair, who completed the block, was extremely excited, and roared angrily, and the entire AT-T Center Arena instantly erupted into a tsunami-like shout.

"Uncle, although I know that you are kind, but ......"

In the media seat, looking at the real-time data constantly transmitted on the laptop, Xiao Yu really didn't know what to make an expression.

“…… You've got a lot of milk! ”

Gu Yu, who scored as a substitute, played 11 minutes and made 0 of 5 shots.

0 points.
