At the brief press conference after the game, Geng Xiangzhi was smiling, and the Argentine white-haired coach was not depressed. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Geng Xiangzhi called "win the fluke", and admired the Argentine team very much; And when the microphone and the camera were aimed at the Argentine white-haired coach, the Argentine old man grabbed the microphone without giving up.

'It was a high-level fight, a good game. Although they lost the game, Li Changgeng is still very satisfied with the performance of Li Changgeng's young man today, the Argentine team has fully played their strength in the game, and in the end, our opponent did perform too well. The strength of the Chinese team today surprised Li Changgeng, they are already a top team in the world. Especially their number 24, the sixteen-year-old, to whom we almost lost today. Any coach has reason to be jealous of the good fortune of the coach of the Chinese team, because he has such a Li Chang Geng player.

"Despite losing today's game, Argentina's goal of winning the title has not changed. We are still the strongest contenders for the title. With the quality of the Chinese team, we have every reason to believe that they can make it to the final and we look forward to meeting the Chinese team again. ”

……

The white-haired coach immediately won the favor of the Chinese reporters, and the "click, click......" camera flashed non-stop, and the tape recorder faithfully recorded the white-haired coach's speech, which appeared in the major Chinese media and newspapers the next day. No one will think that this is a boast, the audience, the fans in front of the TV, as long as they watched the game, will know how real the Argentine coach is saying. The Argentine team lost to Li Changgeng.

"Li Chang Geng Li Chang Geng", "Chinese Basketball Youth Emperor Li Chang Geng", "The Young Leader of the New Golden Generation Li Chang Geng", "The Most Outstanding Li Chang Geng in the History of Chinese Basketball", "China Li Chang Geng Li Chang Geng Who Shocked the World" ...... After this game, Li Changgeng's name in front of the media was preceded by such and such prefixes.

After the press conference, the frenzied Chinese reporters did not disperse, and hundreds of people flocked to the bus of the Chinese Youth Team back to the station. The camera was pointed at the car door, and the flashing magnesium lights illuminated Geng Xiangzhi, who got out of the car first, couldn't open his eyes, and this time he didn't even have a chance to sigh. Reporters with cameras and cameras crowded in front of the bus, making way for a passage leading to the hotel. Although there was no microphone in front of Geng Xiangzhi, the eager eyes made Geng Xiangzhi's stomach retract all his impatience into his stomach. With that eager eyes, that excited look, and the pride on his face from the heart, Geng Xiangzhi, who has been in the Chinese basketball world for decades or two, has not seen it too many times. As soon as his heart was hot, Geng Xiangzhi's head dizzy, and he waved his hand in a dashing manner: "The Chinese Youth Team is open to the outside world tonight......" The reporters cheered, and when Geng Xiangzhi's feverish head calmed down, it was already difficult to recover.

……

In the room of the players of the youth team, the players who are usually noisy at this time are particularly reserved today. There is no other reason, who knows when those reporters will push the door in! Of course, everything is not without exception, and now there is a heartless guy sitting on the bed with a pillow, saliva and snoring from the corner of his mouth - asleep!

Who's this?

Li Changgeng! The Li Changgeng who was mighty and radiant on the court, and was praised by fans and the media as the "Chinese Basketball Youth Emperor" and "New Golden Generation Leader"!

Li Chang Geng? It turned out that Li Changgeng was no different from a mentally handicapped child when he fell asleep. Being able to fall asleep while this kind of reporter is watching, and people have to admire the degree of his nervousness.

However, it is not without reason that Li Changgeng is so nervous, there is another person in the room guarding - Sima Shenji, who is holding Li Changgeng's notebook to surf the Internet and play games. The door to the room was locked from the inside to prevent the reporter from suddenly coming out and ingesting Li Changgeng's ugly sleeping posture into the camera.

Sima Shenji is the only one who doesn't feel strange about Li Changgeng's "heartlessness", in fact, he has been accustomed to Chang Geng's habit for a long time - after a fierce competition, he always has to sleep for a long time. The harder the game, the more thirsty he was and the longer he slept. Regardless of whether this rest habit is scientific or not, it is very effective for Chang Geng - every time he wakes up, he is alive again, and the fatigue before going to bed is not visible at all.

Sima Shenji was also very tired in today's game, but he couldn't fall asleep as quickly as Li Changgeng, his appearance was very calm, but his emotions were very excited-the excitement of beating the Argentine team has not subsided until now. And Li Changgeng fell asleep so quickly can only show one fact: Chang Geng is not only physically tired, but also mentally tired, he consumes not only physical strength in the game, but also more mental strength.

Sima Shenji never thought that he was well-developed and simple-minded, but he made no secret of the fact that his use of his mind in the competition was far inferior to Chang Geng. In terms of physical condition, Sima Shenji's self-confidence can completely outperform Chang Geng: a height of more than two meters, a strong body and opponents on the inside and outside lines will not suffer, and excellent bounce and super lag Xiaoer's ability can make thousands of twists and turns in hits. In terms of offensive ability, his means of sending the basketball to the basket will not be worse than Chang Geng, but Sima Shenji knew a while ago: he is not as good as Chang Geng!

There is only one reason, as part of the basketball talent, Chang Gung's basketball IQ far exceeds himself, and it far exceeds all the other players in the national youth team! In the game, Chang Gung can perform well on his own, and he can also make his teammates play better, he can score points by passing the level, and he can also strategize and guide the offensive firepower of the whole team. As an attacker, he is always in the most reasonable position, puts the ball in the basket in the most reasonable way, and as an offensive playmaker, he is good at pinching his teammates together as a whole. One-on-one heads-up, Sima Shenji is confident that he will not lose to Chang Gung; Add a teammate of equal strength on each side, and the situation will fall to Chang Gung's side; Add two teammates on both sides, and you don't need to know the result without comparing Sima Shenji - you must lose!

There is no doubt that Li Changgeng is already the ace core of the Chinese youth team. As the "boss" of the team, Sima Shenji doesn't mind Chang Gung's "usurpation" behavior at all, in fact, the current situation of the youth team is like a copy of the University of California, Los Angeles. The youngest Li Changgeng is the ace of the team, and all the players rely on him mentally, including Sima Shenji.

Sima Shenji knew what he could and couldn't do, and he never did anything outside of his ability. Control the tempo of the game, organize the attack...... Those are not what they are good at, seize the offensive opportunity to shoot and score, Sima Shenji is confident that he will not lose to anyone.

It's not good to be ambitious, and it's not arrogant, Sima Shenji sticks to his position.

Chapter Thirty-Six: The Sun and the Sky (Part II)

I turned off the computer and stretched, and the feeling of tiredness in my body has not disappeared to this day. looked back at Li Changgeng on the bed, still asleep. Judging from past history, the more physical overdraft Li Changgeng has, the longer he sleeps, and it is usually difficult to wake him up at that time. The World Youth Championships have been played to this day, and this is the first time he has returned to the hotel and fallen asleep.

Today's race was really tough!

Behind the infinite scenery of the players on the field is the unimaginable fatigue of the audience, and Li Changgeng, who is the core of the team and undertakes the pivotal task, has more consumption than the other players in the main lineup, physical strength and mental strength, all of them!

However, Sima Shenji was not worried about him. During the training of the national youth team, he almost crawled back to the dormitory more than once, but the next day he was still alive; In the league some time ago, he fell asleep on the back of Coach Tao Ran (Tao Ran) before he left the gym, and he was still alive and kicking the next day. Now that there is a full day left before the next game, Sima Shenji is fully confident that Chang Gung will be back to his best by then.

Sometimes he can't help but be jealous of the praying mantis-like vitality.

Looking at the time, it was almost time for a reporter to knock on the door. Grabbed the wide undershirt on the chair and covered it over the vest, and slightly tidied up his appearance in front of the mirror, and Sima Shenji was ready to be disturbed by reporters.

As he expected, the reporters had arrived. What the team needs most after the big game is rest, and it is obviously inappropriate to interrupt for a long time at this time. The reporters have a rare understanding of Geng Xiangzhi and his youth team -- these reporters are all from China.

Geng Xiangzhi's room.

The magnesium lights flickered, the camera was pointed, and the three microphones were raised in front of Geng Xiangzhi at the same time, which was a small press conference. Geng Xiangzhi, the subject of the interview, is still on the court, taking off the suit outside and leaving the shirt and tie, with a gentle smile and elegant temperament, wearing an ancient costume and grabbing a feather fan may be regarded as Zhuge Kongming. If Li Changgeng, who is familiar with Geng Xiangzhi's true face, sees it, he will definitely raise his middle finger, "Cut, I really know how to pretend!" ”

But no matter what, the reporters were obviously fooled by him, and all the eyes shot out of them were adoring eyes. In just over a month, a new youth team has been created, and the youth team has been brought to the top four of the World Youth Championships, Geng Xiangzhi does have reason to be admired and worshipped.

The opening remarks of the reporters were still to congratulate the victory of the Chinese youth team, and then fiercely expressed their admiration and admiration, and these interviews were officially started. From the formation of the youth team to today's game, there were too many questions before, and they all seized the opportunity to ask questions at this time. Question after question, for twenty minutes in a row. It's almost the end, and the reporters' final question comes: "May I ask Coach Geng, the sixteen-year-old player Li Changgeng you called in has been performing quite well in this World Youth Championships, and is obviously now the ace player of the Chinese Youth Team, may I ask if this is what you have foreseen before, and how do you think of his future development?" ”

Geng Xiangzhi raised one hand and touched his chin, and said after a slight sigh: "Frankly speaking, Li Changgeng's performance now has exceeded Li Changgeng's expectations. At that time, he was recruited into the team because Li Changgeng thought that he did have the strength of the national youth team. It's inconceivable for a 16-year-old to have the quality of the Under-21 national youth level, and any coach would give him such a chance to step onto the world stage. During the domestic training, Li Changgeng felt that he could take on the task of the tactical core, and he could indeed take on this task in the group stage of the preliminary round. But after the group stage, his performance began to exceed Li Changgeng's expectations. He's grown up game by game, and he's barely the leader of the team yet, but he's already the heart of the team. As for his future, if he follows the path of a professional player, Li Changgeng definitely imagines that he can become the best player in the history of Chinese basketball. He's got a lot of basketball talent! ”

The "click-click-click......" camera continued to shine, mixed with the exclamations of some reporters, and Geng Xiangzhi's interview ended.

……

Although the other four people in the main lineup are not as radiant as Li Changgeng, they are definitely not foils. Sima Shenji and Song Liuming are both the masters of the long doubles, and Li Zhenhua's rebounding and Li Zheng's organizational role are obvious to all. In another location, the same magnesium lights flashed, the camera was carried on the shoulder, and several microphones were raised at the same time. In Li Zheng and Song Liuming's room, the two of them sat on the bed one by one. The reporters asked one question after another, starting from the amateur department to the national youth team, and they were stunned for more than ten minutes without letting the two of them idle. After finishing it, I will start chatting about the relationship between the two of them and Li Changgeng and Sima Shenji, and inquire about the situation of the other two people by knocking on the side.

Song Liuming was still a little nervous in the face of reporters, and most of the time Li Zheng came to deal with the reporters' problems. Li Zheng's calm and almost indifferent personality showed his advantage at this time, his expression was not shocked, he answered questions unhurriedly and orderly, and he said a lot of nonsense without opinions, and not a word of the secret matter would leak out of his mouth.

When the reporters asked what the two of them thought of Li Changgeng. Li Zheng also pondered slightly for a while, and then replied: "He is a Li Changgeng!" Li Changgeng doesn't know how many such Li Changgeng there are in the world, but we in China may not be able to find a second one! Although it was the same tone, the expression on Li Zheng's face at this time was particularly serious.

The microphone was aimed at Song Liuming, who hesitated for a while and said: "Li Changgeng is a good teammate, he can make the game easier for his teammates; However, what is more powerful about him can only be experienced as his opponent. Li Chang Gung and Tian Fang met him in an official match in the final of that league some time ago. Li Changgeng still remembers the situation of that game: Obviously, our amateur department has this absolute advantage in all aspects, but in the end, he was almost defeated. At the end of that game, Li Changgeng was full of murderous energy, and all the UCLA students like him seemed to have red eyes, and our players couldn't calm down for a while when they looked at them. Li Changgeng like today's Argentine team should experience our feelings at the time, obviously better than us in strength, but they defeated us. Hahaha......" Song Liu Ming grinned happily. Is it because of the joy after the victory, or whether there is more schadenfreude in it, only the journalists themselves have experienced.

……

At the end of the interview, Li Zheng suddenly asked, "Will you go to Sima Shenji and Li Changgeng's room next?" ”

The reporters looked at each other, and one of the female reporters replied, "yes, is there something wrong with you?" ”

Li Zheng said lightly: "At this time, Li Changgeng should be asleep, be quiet when you knock on the door!" After saying this, there was no more expression.

The reporters looked at each other and walked out of the room. In front of Sima Shenji and Li Changgeng's door, the reporters gently knocked on the door according to Li Zheng's explanation. The door opened and poked out a head, Sima Shenji, and put the index finger of his right hand to his lips and "shhhh The door opened, Sima Shenji let the reporters enter the room gently, and one by one, their eyes first fell on one of the beds in the room, where their interview subject, Li Changgeng and Li Changgeng were sleeping soundly.

The reporters looked at each other again, almost dumbfounded. The clever reporter turned his inquiring gaze to Sima Shenji, the other owner of the room, and Sima Shenji spread his hands: "Don't look at Li Changgeng, Li Changgeng won't wake him up, and Li Changgeng advises you not to, Li Changgeng is too tired in today's game." ”

"Li Changgeng is tired!" A simple sentence blocked the words in the hearts of the reporters, the reporters stared at the sleeping people on the bed, Li Changgeng's beautiful and immaculate face was innocent, the eyebrows were faintly tired, the eyes were closed, the corners of the mouth were slightly upturned, as if he was dreaming. Suddenly, I saw that the reporters all had unbearable feelings: just let him sleep well, maybe the competition during the day is really too hard for this teenager!

Sima Shenji, who was holding his arm next to him, saw the change in the reporters' expressions, and said with a smile: "If Li Changgeng is you, you should hurry up and seize the opportunity to take a few more photos now." "This is a real picture of Sleeping Beauty." There will be no next time if you miss this opportunity! ”

The reporters came back to their senses and hurriedly grabbed their cameras and "clicked......clicked" and snapped violently.

Sima Shenji maliciously imagined Chang Geng's jumping feet when he saw his "wonderful sleeping position" in the newspaper, and couldn't help laughing. He is very conscientious, at least he wiped the saliva from the corners of Chang Geng's mouth in advance, didn't he?

Then the interview with Sima Shenji went very smoothly, and not only that, but the reporters also had a lot of unexpected gains -- about Li Changgeng's past, Sima Shenji broke a lot of fierce news, such as the historical transition from the "Kende Chicken Era" and "New York Roast Duck Era", such as "Facial Shooting Basket", which was rendered and polished by Sima Shenji, and from time to time amused the reporters to cover their bellies and lean back.

When the reporters said goodbye, when their eyes turned to the sleeping teenager on the bed again, they couldn't help but laugh out loud.

The content of the interview was quickly reported in domestic media, coupled with the excavation of domestic aspects, Li Changgeng's media image was completely plumped: a young man with Li Changgeng, resolute, tenacious and unyielding but innocent, a teenager who loves basketball very much, never gives up on the court, and is cordial and sincere off the court; An innocent teenager, he is as innocent and enthusiastic as boys and girls of the same age. He is still a good student with excellent character and learning, excellent in all subjects, and is determined to take the Q University exam in the future.

Of course, no one is perfect, and Li Changgeng also has shortcomings, he has a small shortcoming: greedy, especially Peking duck, and a little arrogance: he has always regarded himself as Li Changgeng. The white wall is slightly flawed, and these small shortcomings make the image of the "Young Emperor" more real and more intimate. The fans are affectionate and inclusive of everything: who doesn't like to eat good food in the dormitory? Claiming to be Li Changgeng, he is a Li Changgeng, isn't he?

When Li Changgeng was still asleep, "Young Emperor Li Changgeng" had already spread in the domestic media and was quickly widely recognized.

The emperor, like the "dragon" in China, represents supremacy and sacrosanctity. Since the fall of the Qing Dynasty, the last feudal dynasty, the Chinese have never put the supreme title of "emperor" in front of anyone's name. Until then, "Heavenly King" had been the supreme evaluation of a person's achievements in his industry, and no one had ever dared to covet the supreme title of "Emperor".

However, this time, the Chinese media and the public awarded this supreme title to Li Changgeng with rare generosity, a 16-year-old Li Changgeng who led the Chinese youth team to the semifinals of the World Youth Championships!

The "Young Emperor" echoes China's "Little Emperor" who has been galloping in the NBA. The taste of this comparison couldn't be more obvious, was China's little emperor as powerful as Li Changgeng when he was sixteen years old? Chinese have little emperors, our Li Changgeng Li Changgeng will not be worse than him, of course he should also be the emperor, our little emperor of China!

James and Li Changgeng, all of them believe that these two will definitely be the leaders of the basketball circles of the two countries in the future, and the media's title of Li Changgeng cannot but be said to imply the desire of Chinese fans to fight against Chinese basketball and the supreme Chinese basketball.

At least we're in the semi-finals of the World Junior Championships, aren't we?

"Young Emperor Li Chang Geng", overnight Li Chang Geng carried the hope of the future of Chinese basketball!

And our young emperor was still asleep soundly at this time.

……

"Beat Argentina to reach the last four!" When the news spread in China the next day, it was like an atomic bomb exploding, turning the world upside down!

On this day, the headline of sports TV news was the news of the Chinese youth team, the front page of sports newspapers was Li Changgeng's photo, monthly, weekly magazines and magazines also added to the cover without exception "Young Emperor Li Changgeng ......" on the major Chinese portals, "His Majesty Li Changgeng sleeping photo" was published in the most eye-catching position.
