Chapter 110: Modest
The reporters tried every possible way to interview the team members in the past two days, and some even pretended to be tourists and sneaked into the hotel, but in the end they were caught by the security guards and driven out. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Still, the reporters waited for good news.
Early in the morning of July 20, the Chinese team held a media conference at the hotel.
This surprised the media reporters, who thought that there was some surprising news to announce.
You must know that the former leader of the Basketball Association said: "You reporters write things for a career, I do basketball for a career, everyone is a career, why should I serve you?" ”
Isn't it abnormal that people from the national team can still take the initiative to provide convenience to reporters now?
"If something is abnormal, it will be a demon."
Actually, the journalists think too much.
It turns out that Lao Li is not his predecessor, he attaches great importance to the media, and believes that basketball is inseparable from the cooperation of the media to promote it to the market.
Therefore, now that the Chinese men's basketball youth team has achieved amazing results, which has attracted special attention from the domestic media, he will certainly not give up this opportunity to promote basketball.
A phone call came from China, and the team leader on the Greek side immediately changed his attitude towards the media and specially held a media meeting.
The team leader himself served as the host, bringing Coach Wu Qinglong, and the team members were Lu Xiaofeng and Yi Jianlian, who performed the best, and Tang Zhengdong as the captain.
The team leader was the first to speak:
"First of all, thank you for coming from all over the world, and thank you for your attention to us. The Chinese men's basketball youth team has achieved excellent results in this competition, which is inseparable from everyone's support. ”
As soon as the team leader's words fell, the reporters raised their hands one after another.
It was still a female reporter who took advantage, and with a finger of the team leader, a female reporter stood up, and Lu Xiaofeng looked at it, and still had a little impression that it was the young reporter who flattered him and showed his deep groove in front of him.
"I'm a reporter from Sohu.com, may I ask Coach Wu, when the national youth team first set out, everyone was questioning your selection, what made you decide to choose Lu Xiaofeng?"
However, the female reporter did not ask Lu Xiaofeng a question, but asked Wu Qinglong.
"Our basketball team selects people, of course, to speak with strength, during the training camp, Lu Xiaofeng's ability is obvious to all, of course I choose him."
Wu Qinglong is still playing an official tone, and the reporters are certainly not satisfied.
The female reporter wanted to ask again, but the team leader signaled to the next one.
"Coach Wu, before going to Greece, did you expect the Chinese team to enter the final?" This time it's a male journalist.
"Huh! To say that it was to be expected would be a lie. My expectation was to reach the quarterfinals. However, after the win over the USA, our goal is to reach the final four. ”
"May I ask Coach Wu, what do you think is the biggest reason why the Chinese team reached the final? Is it because of the excellent performance of Lu Xiaofeng and Yi Jianlian? "Another female journalist.
"Basketball is a team sport, and our success is due to the teamwork and tenacity of our players. Of course, it is also inseparable from the excellent performance of individual players. ”
Wu Qinglong was not fooled, but after glancing at the two generals sitting next to him, he still did not forget to praise him vaguely.
"Lu Xiaofeng, now some netizens on the Internet call you a 'Chinese magician'. I found that you are second in the scoring charts so far, only behind Kreza, first in assists and steals, well ahead of second place, and rebounds and blocks are in the top 10, do you have expectations for 'MVP'? ”
is another sweet-looking female reporter, twenty-seven or eighteen, standing up, not looking at the notes in her hand, but she knows Lu Xiaofeng's data clearly.
Finally had a reporter to ask him a question, Lu Xiaofeng sat up straight, cleared his throat, and then began to speak:
"As the coach said, our success is because our teammates are very united and trust each other very much."
"Datang can score singles on the inside, and he can also withstand the opponent's big man;"
"The UAE can grab rebounds, dunk, shoot mid-range shots, and participate in fast breaks;"
"There are also Zhao Hongxiang, Meng Da, Wang Lei, Chen Dawei, Hu Ke and Zhang Qingpeng, their defense is very good, and they can also play fast attacks, shoot three points, and believe at critical moments."
"I'm fortunate to be part of this group and it's my job every game to do my job and help the team win."
"We have only one goal, and that is to win the championship, and the individual data is secondary."
Faced with the small trap of the reporter's question, Lu Xiaofeng ignored it and praised his teammates.
Although the team leader had explained before, he was still very satisfied when he heard Lu Xiaofeng talking eloquently, opening and closing his mouth to the team, and never mentioning his personal performance, and couldn't help but smile on his face.
Journalists were inevitably a little disappointed.
But some people still don't give up.
"Lu Xiaofeng, what does the 'Sister Flower Fans' that are hyped on the Internet have to do with you? Is it your girlfriend? "There was a female reporter who asked a gossip question.
The team leader was about to stop it on the grounds of "nothing to do with the game", but Lu Xiaofeng had already spoken:
"During the competition, we were all training except for the competition, we couldn't go online, and I didn't know what you were talking about as 'sister flowers'. I'm still in my second year of high school, so I'm not allowed to fall in love. ”
"Hahaha!" His words drew laughter from the audience.
"Then have you ever thought about early love?" The female reporter hurriedly asked.
"Next." With such a big pit, the team leader relieved Lu Xiaofeng and stopped the female reporter from continuing to ask questions.
Reporter: "Lu Xiaofeng, I understand that you have not participated in a professional competition, may I ask which team will you join after returning to China?" ”
Lu Xiaofeng: "I am now a member of the Chinese youth team. After returning to China, of course, I will continue my studies, and the next semester will be the third year of high school, and the first thing I think about is the college entrance examination. ”
Reporter: "You mean, aren't you ready to play in the professional league yet?" Why? ”
Lu Xiaofeng: "I'm only 17 years old, and my current task is to study. ”
Reporter: "Yi Jianlian, you are now fifth in scoring and second in rebounding, do you think you are the best power forward in the World Youth Championships?" ”
Seeing that Lu Xiaofeng was not entering, the reporters turned to another focal point, Yi Jianlian.
Yi Jianlian: "Just like the coach and Xiaofeng said just now, our goal is to be the champion, and personal data is meaningless. ”
Reporter: "I heard that there are NBA scouts on the scene who are paying attention to you and looking forward to you becoming the 'second Yao Ming', when will you go to the NBA?" ”
Yi Jianlian: "I don't know any NBA scouts, and I'm not the next Yao Ming, I just want to help the Chinese team win the championship now." ”
Reporter: "May I ask the leader, the Chinese youth team has created the best results, is there any special reward after returning to China?" ”
Team leader: "This is for the superiors, we are now concerned about the final tomorrow night." ”
Reporter: "Coach Wu, will you be confident of winning the championship against the host Greece tomorrow night?" ”
Wu Qinglong: "When the game comes to this point, our goal is definitely to win the championship, and of course we have confidence." However, against the hosts, it is always particularly difficult. All we can do is train hard and give it our all tomorrow night. ”
Although he was very confident, Wu Qinglong still didn't dare to say anything.
……
If it is a post-game interview in the NBA, Lu Xiaofeng will definitely speak freely and say whatever he wants.
The national team doesn't dare, he still has to mix in the national team, and the political red line doesn't dare to cross.
So there was no explosion point in the reporters' interviews.
But they are also used to it, if there is no news, it will be processed into news!
It was already 10 o'clock when the press conference ended, and the Chinese team's arrangement in the morning was to rest and adjust, and there would be training in the afternoon. (To be continued.) )
