Chapter 386: Embarrassed Lu (2/5)
Lu's answer made the Canadian reporter completely confused, but Lu saw that the reporter didn't ask any more questions, and didn't seem to have any intention of staying, so he smiled and left, leaving the reporter who hadn't come back to his senses.
When the reporter came back to his senses, Lu was no longer there, but just when he looked lost, he looked up and found a new world, wearing blue long sleeves, and the person who walked out of the hotel lobby door while bowing his head and playing with his mobile phone turned out to be one of the Raptors' duo, Kevin Lowry!
A burst of light burst out of the reporter's face, greeted the photographer behind him, and rushed over directly.
"Kevin!" The reporter rushed to Lowry out of breath and shouted directly.
Lowry was concentrating on playing with his mobile phone, and this sudden shout startled him, but when he looked up and saw that there was a camera, he immediately put away his mobile phone and looked at the reporter with a smile.
"Kevin, I didn't expect to be able to interview you, I'm so lucky, oh my God! I'm going to have to buy a lottery ticket today! The female reporter looked very excited, and she could see that Lowry was extraordinarily popular in Toronto.
"Then you should hurry." Lowry smiled and looked at his watch, "There are less than 6 hours left until the lottery draws." ”
"Haha......"
Lowry's words caused the female reporter to cover her mouth and laugh, laughed for a while and realized that this was still an interview, hurriedly adjusted her mood, and then asked: "Kevin, this is the first time you have been selected as an All-Star starter, and you will form the starting backcourt in the East with Dwyane, how do you feel now?" ”
"It's a cool thing to partner with Dwyan, you know it's Dwyan, MVP, and I'm sure we're going to have a really good chemistry." Lowry is no longer the little steel cannon he used to be when Team Rocket was in the beginning. It is also easy to answer questions from reporters.
"This time you and Dwyane are going to play against Don and Kobe, and it's interesting to talk about this pairing, this is Kobe's last All-Star Game before he retired, and it was also Don's first All-Star start as a rookie, and Don has the nickname of Kobe's successor.
What's even more interesting is that Don was controversial before he was selected. But the two days of the All-Star Game were particularly dazzling, with the rookie game MVP, the three-point contest champion and a staggering 29 points, and the slam dunk contest title, will it put pressure on you? If you do that, he will be in line with you. ”
"Pressure?" Lowry couldn't help but smile as he spoke, and then said, "That's a very good newcomer, but newcomers need to grow." I believe that this competition will be very helpful for his future development. ”
"You mean he's not much of a threat to you?" The reporter asked.
"I feel like Bo. Coach Bo will have his own considerations in personnel rotation and is not a threat? Sort of, but this lad has a lot of potential, and there will be a real place for him in the All-Star field in the future. Lowry said with a smile.
Compared with Lu, Lowry has a much better opinion of Tang Shuai, but the same thing is that he doesn't think Tang Shuai can do anything in this All-Star Game.
Lowry's answer finally got the female reporter what he wanted, after asking for a private photo with Lowry after the interview. He left happily.
The Canadian media were very efficient, shortly after completing these two interview videos. You can see the relevant reports on the local sports website.
This has caused quite a bit of controversy in the Canadian media and basketball circles.
As a fan, after witnessing Tang Shuai's performance in the first two days, most of them are looking forward to his performance in the All-Star Game.
On the contrary, the celebrities of basketball are unanimously supportive of Lue's view, which in the eyes of basketball experts is the rookie game. Or maybe the three-point contest isn't a high-profile game, and it can't be compared to the highest-level All-Star Game.
Of course, it is impossible for Tang Shuai in his sleep to know, when he woke up, it was already 7 o'clock in the evening, and after a full sleep, the whole person was extremely energetic. I washed my face and rushed to the stadium.
changed into a game uniform in the basketball hall and put on the official All-Star long sleeves, and he followed with the other All-Star starters, chatting with each other, because the first two days of getting along would not seem so strange.
It's just that not everyone is so easy to get along with, Westbrook, the player who has been disdainful of Tang Shuai since he played this season, seems to be very uninterested in Tang Shuai, even if Tang Shuai takes the initiative to greet him, he doesn't see it.
"Guys, it's time." After a while, a staff member came and called them to line up in the players' tunnel.
Each All-Star opens in a different way, and this time, the All-Stars from the East and West are lined up in two teams, and it seems that they should be preparing players from both sides to introduce them one by one.
Tang Shuai, as the starter of the western team, ranked at the back of the team.
Not long after I got in line, I heard the opening remarks of the host outside, and as soon as the voice came out, it was very familiar.
Under the spotlight, the host standing in the center of the arena was Nash.
This time, the NBA official used Nash's role to the fullest, and the appearance rate was quite high.
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Toronto Aviation Centre Arena and welcome to the 2016 NBA All-Star Game!"
Nash's first opening remarks drew cheers from the audience.
“…… I'm Canadian, and Nai Smith is Canadian, and he invented basketball so that's why we can have fun here, and that's why this year's All-Star Game is on this field in Toronto. ”
Nash's next words drew another cheer from the audience, and his words resonated with the fans.
"Next, let's see the best players in the world, doing their best on the field, get involved, everyone, let's look at these guys!"
Nash said and pointed to the stage in the center of the arena, where a group of sexy beauties danced rhythmically to the melody of the music.
After a short opening dance, the introduction began, and the first to be introduced were the coaches of both sides.
"East Force Head Coach, from the Cleveland Cavaliers, Tyronn Lue!"
With the introduction of the host, the light of the scene was given to the left side of the stage, and Lu waved his hand to the audience.
Maybe it was because he only coached 3 games to become the coach of the Eastern Conference All-Star team, or maybe it was the disdain for Tang Shuai in the interview before the game, when he waved to the audience, the audience was booed.
Lu's face was very embarrassed, which is probably the only thing in the All-Star game.
Even Zhang Weiping and Yang Jian, who were broadcasting to China on the sidelines, were stunned and skipped this paragraph very embarrassed.
Lu introduced Popovich later, which is completely different from Lu just now, the old man's name has not been pronounced, and the scene is already a faint cheer, and when Popovich's name comes out, the cheers of the audience are deafening.
The old man smiled and waved his hand, but looking at his strange expression, the audience's contrasting reactions made him a little embarrassed.
Lu, who was standing on the other side, suddenly turned gloomy.
The coach was followed by Butler and Bosh, both of whom missed the All-Star Game due to injury, but they were officially included in the introduction.
After that, the official players of the All-Stars, when the host began to introduce, the beauties on the stage swayed to the sides to the rhythm of the music.
"All-round center from the Pistons, this is the first time in his career that he has been selected as an All-Star, Andre Drummond!"
Drummond was the first to be introduced, and his appearance drew a chorus from fans, and his cooperation with Nash in the slam dunk contest attracted him a lot of popularity.
Listening to the shouts outside, seeing Drummond at the front walking out of the players' tunnel, Tang Shuai's heart couldn't help but thump, the once extremely distant All-Star Game is just around the corner, and he is about to become the first player to appear on the All-Star stage after Yao Ming!
He took a deep breath to ease his nerves.
Lowry, on the left, glanced back at him with a strange look in his eyes. (To be continued.) )
