0 On October 16, 2017, Beijing time, the NBA preseason continued to be in full swing, and for Chinese fans, one of the NBA preseason games today attracted their attention, that is, the Spurs' away game against the Rockets.

Why does such a preseason game with an unimportant result attract the attention of many Chinese people?

Because this game is the first possible "Chinese derby" in the NBA since Yao Ming's retirement, yes, it is the Chinese derby.

Zhou Qi, the "big devil" who was previously selected by the Rockets, also successfully landed in the NBA this season, and the Rockets decided to give him a chance.

As a result, there were 2 Chinese players in the NBA at once, which made the Chinese people feel luxury.

That's right, it's luxury, since Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian's "Chinese Derby", the NBA arena has not reproduced the Chinese Derby for a long time.

Therefore, the excited fans reintroduced the slogan of "China Derby", even though all of them knew that Jin Feng and Zhou Qi were not players of the same level at all.

So, a lot of people are looking forward to the start of this game.

However, with four hours to go before the start of this game, the news came from the Spurs official

poured a basin of cold water on many people, that is, Jin Feng would not play in this game because of his stomach discomfort.

As soon as the news came out, it immediately exploded, and almost everyone thought that it was Popovich "playing tricks" again.

"Bullshit stomach aches, old man, can you change some new tricks"

"Old man, let's not bring this, my pants are off, you can show me this"

"Popovich is just now, Adam Xiao Hua just said that he would not allow abnormal rotations, and the old man immediately expressed his dissatisfaction..."

"Old man, you will fulfill us!"

…………

However, what everyone doesn't know is that he really doesn't complain about the old man this time, the reason why Jin Feng didn't play in this game was completely his own idea, and Popovich just "cooperated".

There are three main reasons why Jin Feng is reluctant to play in this game.

First, it's an inconsequential preseason game, and it doesn't matter if you win or lose. Second, he does have something to do today, and third, Jin Feng is doing this for Zhou Qi's good.

Especially the third point, which is the main reason why Jin Feng finally decided not to play in this game.

Two days ago, Jin Feng received a call from Zhou Qi, and the two had known each other in the CBA, so they were acquaintances.

Jin Feng drew such a message from what Zhou Qi said, that is, Zhou Qi is under a lot of pressure today, and this pressure mainly comes from the expectations of the Chinese people.

Therefore, at this time, Jin Feng was reluctant to let Zhou Qi meet him too early in the NBA, so that he could have a good attitude to integrate into the team as much as possible and try to make a good impression on D'Antoni, after all, the whole league knows that D'Antoni "has always insisted" on the 8-man rotation.

Zhou Qi needs to play confident in the preseason, so Jin Feng can only help him by evading, after all, once he plays, then there will be no way to release water.

For Popovich, Jin Feng's role in the team is self-evident, so he agreed to Jin Feng's request.

As a result, the much-anticipated "China Derby" finally became a slogan.........

…………

So, if Jin Feng doesn't play in this game, where did he go?

Subsequently, almost at the same time as the preseason game between the Spurs and the Rockets was underway, the ESPN TV live program gave the answer, and it turned out that Jin Feng was being interviewed by ESPN at this time.

ESPN (English: EntertainmentandSportsProgrammingNetork, that is, Entertainment and Sports Program Television Network, generally referred to as ESPN) is a 24-hour American cable television network specializing in sports programs, initially ESPN also broadcasts entertainment programs, and later fully developed sports programs are the most famous sports television network in the world today, 24-hour continuous sports program channels.

Founded by American Scott Rasmussen and his father Bill Rasmussen, ESPN began broadcasting on September 7, 1979, and is headquartered in Bristol, USA. ESPN has grown to become the world's largest sports television network, with satellite networks covering 160 countries, programming in 21 languages, and more than 210 million viewers worldwide.

In the NBA, many players are proud to receive an interview invitation from EDPN, because everyone knows the influence of this TV station, although Jin Feng does not like to deal with the media, but he still can't refuse this kind of invitation.

Originally, EsPN TV planned to conduct an exclusive interview with Jin Feng after the award ceremony in June, but at that time, Jin Feng was very tired and the schedule was short, so he postponed the time after discussing with espn.

In Bristol, USA, in the live broadcast room of EDPN headquarters, Jin Feng appeared in the live broadcast room wearing a sportswear endorsed by him.

In charge of the interview with Jin Feng was Brett McHenry, a 26-year-old beautiful host.

BRT MCHENRY: Oh, Jin, welcome here, it's a pleasure to meet you!

Jin Feng: Me too!

Jin Feng's relaxed and natural look made Brett McHenry a little surprised, Xie Weixinke's finals MVP seemed to be different from the Chinese players in her impression.

"Jin, you seem to be in good shape, there was a media outbreak before, you gave a lot of the offseason to the training gym, is this true?" The interview with Brett McHenry began soon.

"It's true, for me, training is part of basketball, and I have to make sure I'm improving, you know............

…………

"Jin, will you surprise people again in the new season?"

"Haha, who can say for sure, of course I want to do this, wait and see!"

"What are your goals? Is it chasing Kobe Bryant? Or something else? ”

"yes, you know, of course Kobe Bryant is a great player, and a lot of players want to be able to compare to him, so it's going to take it one step at a time..."

It's hard to imagine that when Jin Feng was interviewed by ESPN, he attracted more attention (mainly Chinese fans) than the Spurs-Rockets game, which is no secret in the context of today's high-speed Internet.

Therefore, the office of the president of ESPN headquarters, "Pete, try our best, we must maintain a good relationship with China Jin, and we will have to cooperate with him more in the future, his value is terrible, what a treasure" John Skipper, the current president of ESPN, looked at the rising attention in the live broadcast room, and also yelled at the assistant excitedly.

The interview lasted a total of 1 hour and 20 minutes, Jin Feng was very cunning, in the course of the interview, Brett McHenry set him up many times, often raised some controversial topics, but Jin Feng prevaricated, which also made Brett McHenry extremely depressed, she realized that China's Jin is indeed different......
