Chapter 148: Interview

On draft day, just after the top 10 rookies passed, a barrage of trades took place. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Kelly Oubre was selected by the Atlanta Hawks with the 15th pick. After being drafted by the Eagles, he immediately ran to the stage excitedly and delivered a bunch of passionate speeches similar to being willing to shed blood for the Eagles.

Unexpectedly, before the first round was over, he was traded to the Wizards by the Hawks.

This made Kelly Oubre's face flush, and the camera shot it with an embarrassed look on his face.

Immediately afterwards, it was like opening a hot market, and there were constantly rookies who had just been selected to be traded, such as potential guard Grant and Tails Jones of Duke University, whom Li Dong had played against, which made this group of half-sized children appreciate the cruelty of the NBA for the first time, and they also vigilantly began to retract their words and no longer say some stupid words that are willing to serve their lives.

At the end of the first round, there was still no team to pick Roo Adams away, which made Ryo's face a little pale.

For these seniors, entering the NBA is not only a basketball dream, but also a realistic and excellent job, and the pressure on them is very high.

"It's okay, there will definitely be a team selection in the second round." Li Dong comforted.

Ryo smiled bitterly and replied, "I hope so, it's really a poor performance during the trial." ”

Ryan Adams and Li Dong are obviously two types of people, Ryo's offensive ability with the ball is very mediocre, although he has excellent shooting skills, but once no one feeds the ball, he is just a squib that attracts firepower, so when he participated in the joint tryout, his performance was very different from his college days.

But fortunately, in the eighth pick in the second round, Ryan Adams was picked by the Knicks, and he was so excited that he almost didn't call out, shook hands with his relatives from Canada, and then hugged Li Dong and others one by one.

"Well, I'm going to say you're going to be picked up by the big city, New York, tsk, that's amazing" Kelly Oubre had a look of envy.

Ryo laughed and punched him in the chest.

Li Dongyan was concise: "Come on!" ”

The 15-year draft was undoubtedly a sensational one, and although the ratings were mediocre, the impact was profound.

There are so many news points in this that it is a mess, and from any angle, it will cause a boom in reading and understanding among the audience, which is very interesting.

For example, Li Dong won the second pick, giving Chinese people all over the world a face, once again proving that basketball is not just a game of the country. Of course, this was followed by a domineering declaration of war by Frank Kaminsky, who fell to the ninth pick, and the video clip was later posted on YouTube, causing thousands of viewers to click on it in a short period of time.

There is also a unique election speech like Li Dong, from the perspective of the art of language, it can be compared to the best speech of all the rookies in the 2015 industry, that is, the Yankee, who has always been critical, also praised this eloquent teenager. So not long after the draft ended, Li Dong was nicknamed a "speaker" by a media outlet, and it spread quickly.

In China, Li Dong has suddenly become the hottest search term.

No matter where they are, the cohesion and centripetal force of the Chinese have always been praised, especially in things like "long faces", which the Chinese are particularly keen on. As the saying goes, people live a breath, and the Buddha fights for a stick of incense. A Chinese kid like Li Dong, whose ancestral home has been traced for 18 generations, is equivalent to his own child when he goes abroad, and being elected to the NBA list with his hard work is equivalent to getting very good results in the exam, compared to a bunch of other people's children, as a parent, how can he not be happy?

People can't help but begin to fantasize about the Chinese national team, with Yi Jianlian on the inside and Li Dong on the outside, this luxurious configuration has completely exploded many old European teams.

And the most surprising thing is that people find that Chinese people entering the NBA are getting better and better.

Wang Zhizhi and Yao Ming in the past, Yi Jianlian now, Sun Yue and Li Dong, it seems that playing basketball well and being handsome also complement each other. It is no wonder that since Li Dong became famous, his female fans in China have increased day by day, and he has gradually become a national boyfriend.

Li Dong accepted an exclusive interview from the imperial court, which was his first interview after being elected to the list.

The imperial court station also attaches great importance to this newly rising "reckless in the rivers and lakes", and the reporter sent over for an exclusive interview is actually the well-known celebrity Yu Jia.

The two met in a quaint Manhattan café, and after a brief pleasantries, Yu Jia asked the first formal question he brought with him today.

"What made you come to the U.S. alone to pursue your basketball dreams?"

Li Dong smiled and said, "I like it, because I like basketball, because I am persistent in this dream." ”

Yu Jia nodded, there was also a smile on his face, Li Dong looked a little immature, but he was more mature than he was, he simply recorded it in a small notebook, and continued to ask: "Now that you have been elected to the 2015 NBA Draft, how do you feel?" ”

Li Dong habitually shrugged his shoulders, and this scene was seen by the observant Yu Jia.

"The feeling is, wow, I was actually elected to the list, haha." Li Dong laughed out loud as he spoke, and then Yu Jia was amused by Li Dong and laughed too.

The two smirked for a while, Li Dong's mind was actually spinning fast, and then continued: "Actually, to be honest, there is nothing special, the draft is just a way for our players to enter the NBA, and real success requires continuous hard work and struggle." In the history of the NBA, there are many players who have become All-Stars without drafting, and there are not a few who are elected as the champion and eventually become passers-by. ”

"It seems that you still look at this issue more rationally and are very calm." Yu Jia opened his mouth and praised.

Li Dong smiled, a little embarrassed.

Yu Jia looked at the shy appearance of the young man, it was difficult to confirm the majestic player on the field with him, he felt like a little boy next door, his eyes were more relaxed, and he asked: "Now you are very hot in China, the news headlines in the past few days are basically your name, not only in the sports section, but also in politics, economy and entertainment, it is really popular all over the world." ”

Li Dong touched his head and was noncommittal.

Yu Jia asked: "Fans are very interested in the story of your university, can you tell us about the most interesting thing you have encountered in the past year or so?" ”

"Is it basketball?" Li Dong asked rhetorically.

"It's okay, it's okay in life."

Li Dong said: "The most interesting thing should be the summer training camp with Kelly Oubre, when we were trained by Coach Jack. Then there were two days off in between, and the two of us drove for a few hours to New York. Then we came to the most prestigious Rock Park, which was originally just a wandering around and worshipping the Holy Land, and guess what happened? ”

Yu Jia had already pricked up his ears and asked cooperatively, "What happened later?" ”

"Later, I don't know what's wrong, in the first team on the field, there are actually two players missing, it just so happens that Kelly and I are taller and taller, and we are dressed in a lot of sports, so let's go on the court and have a look."

Yu Jia smiled: "Then in the end, the team with yours must have won easily, right?" ”

Li Dong said happily: "How can it be so easy, there are many street ball games that are very different, Kelly and I have been blown up by our respective opponents, and many of their dribbles are like magic." Li Dong stretched out his hand and gestured, "Like this, like this, hide in your clothes for a while, and bounce the ball back with a whirling force for a while, and there are even rolling people among the passers, which is simply eye-opening." ”

Yu Jia was embarrassed: "So you lost?" ”

Li Dong still shook his head and said with a smile: "We were played like fools, our teammates were not satisfied, and they didn't want to be teammates with us, and then Kelly was angry at that time, he stopped passing the ball or anything after he got the ball, and he no longer did some strange ball control, or he would dunk hard, or he would chisel the inside line one by one, and turn a street ball game into hand-to-hand combat, so that the audience on the sidelines booed and then we won so shamelessly, there was nothing the other side could do about us, they were actually thinner than us college students, And there is no power at all. ”

Yu Jia laughed, and was poked at the laugh by Li Dong's self-deprecating "shameless win".

The two laughed for a while, and Yu Jiacai continued to ask: "So what are your prospects for the new season?" To the individual or to the team. ”

Li Dong listened to "or" as "and", and replied to himself: "Personally, I just hope to be able to get the best rookie." As for the team, I hope to join forces with the team's old-timers and bring the Magic back to the playoffs. ”

"Well, have you ever thought about playing for the national team?"

"That's for sure." Li Dong smiled a little stiffly, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, and he cheered up 120,000 points, this is a meat play.

"Being able to play for the national team is what every Chinese desires, and it is an honor. Moreover, these seniors have rich experience, and it is refreshing to be teammates with them. ”

"Haha, the last two questions," Yu Jia nodded with satisfaction, "These are the two questions we want to know most from fans on the website." “

"One is how tall you really are, and the second is do you have a girlfriend?"

Li Dong is embarrassed, what is this, the fans are too boring. He thought about it and answered the first question truthfully: "I haven't measured the specific height, but I know that it should be about two meters after wearing shoes."

"As for the second question, it's easy, I have a girlfriend."

Yu Jia's eyes lit up, the fire of gossip burned, and he asked: "Is it an American or a Chinese, a college classmate or another friend?" ”

Li Dong was speechless, didn't he say that it was the last two questions?

However, he still politely answered Yu Jia's additional question: "I am Chinese, not a college classmate." ”

"Wow, that's a high school classmate, that's awesome." Yu Jia asserted, looking like I was from the past.

Li Dong didn't object this time, thinking that the classmates he knew in high school should all be high school classmates, right? (To be continued.) )
