Chapter 184 [The First Battle of Yincheng: Countless Fans Harvested]
Indiana Pacers "Bankers Living Arena". The www.biquge.info is just over two hours away from Lu Deng's first preseason game.
Typically, a pre-match press conference is held between one and two hours before the game, and the head coach brings one of the players for an interview. Sanders is on Ludden, and the Pacers' head coach is Roy Hibbert, who was once known as "Black Yao."
Hibbert is such an amazing being. Last season, his high-profile start and big slide were a rare and bizarre event in history.
There were no injuries, no roster changes, no family changes, and all of a sudden, he went from being the defensive player of the year booked at the start of the season to a long-term man who couldn't keep up.
Many people analyze that it may be caused by the sequelae of a concussion with LeBron.
There is also a rumor that Paul George slept with his girlfriend.
If the rumors are true, this one is more likely to be the cause of Hibbert's sudden landslide.
Who knows, things outside the stadium are difficult to verify, and the secrets between players are even harder to verify.
One-third of the media who attended the press conference were from China, and the questions were only asked by Lu Deng and Sanders. Even American journalists only care about the first battle of the champion show. Nothing else really sells.
"Lu Deng, I heard that when you were training, the hit rate exceeded ninety, is it true?"
"Don't look at the messages on the Internet, how can it be so accurate, I'm just a primary school student who just entered the alliance, and I'm here to learn."
A reporter from a local Indiana media asked, "Lu Deng, some people compare you with many great marksmen in history, saying that you are the first marksman in the ages!" ”
"This is going to milk me! Who blows me like this, it's really unkind! Lu Deng smiled and quipped, "I said it all, I'm just a primary school student, I haven't done anything yet, how dare I compare with those ancient sages?" Miller of Indiana is the marksman! The 'Miller moment' is one of the greatest moments in NBA history, and Miller is a role model for me to learn from, and he's a hero in this city.
"And Mr. Larry Bird, the general manager of the Pacers, who has a status in the NBA like Tarzan Beidou, and it's not an exaggeration to put up a statue on President Hill, and I have a lot of respect for him, and he's also a hero of the city.
"By the way, there is also Paul George, who was injured in the national team some time ago, and he is a hero of the city and a hero of the United States. I wish him a speedy recovery and a return to the ring. In short, the Walkers are a city of heroes. However, there is a Mr. Ci Shiping who fights in the palace of Auburn, and he can't be counted, although he fights very well! ”
There was a burst of laughter at the press conference.
After hearing Lu Deng's words, even Indiana Pacers head coach Frank? Vogel gave a thumbs up, humble, humorous, respect for opponents, respect for seniors, ask questions and answers, interspersed with ridicule, Lu Deng has the demeanor of Yao Ming at the beginning.
The future is terrifying, unlike some basketball players, entering the league seems to prove themselves, the waist is bulging, the eyes are on the forehead, the mouth is loose, the sky is the boss and he is the second.
Sanders was happier. Lu Deng was exchanged by him from the knight, and the more he looked at it, the more he liked it, just like looking at his newborn son, his eyes were full of kindness.
At the press conference, Lu Deng answered more than ten questions in a row, and when there were some questions, he stopped answering, waved his hand and said:
"I don't answer. Four people came to the press conference, you can't always stare at me and ask alone, you want to exhaust me. And I'm afraid that if I have to answer any more questions, my English will be exposed.
"Actually, my English is very poor, and when I went out to take a taxi in the morning, a bearded taxi driver pulled me around Indiana for half a day, and finally took me to a place where it was only a five-minute walk, and charged me $150, and he also called his friend to show off, 'Today buddy pulled a foreigner, that guy doesn't speak English, and he doesn't know the way, so he cheated him a lot.'"
Another burst of laughter.
"And then?" The reporters didn't know if Lu Deng was joking or telling the truth, and asked.
Lu Deng smiled and said, "Later, he was called by the traffic police to drink tea." Okay, okay, I really can't say more, it's my first time in Indiana, and I've said so much this time, what if you say less next time you scold me for playing a big name? Or if you want to say more, but you don't ask, wouldn't I be very disappointed?
"One last thing, I brought a small gift to the injured Paul George and wished him a speedy recovery. But just now, Paul didn't come to the arena, can you ask Mr. Frank to hand it over? ”
Lu Deng said, bent down and took out a canvas bag under the table, and took out a "Kung Fu Panda" Po's plush toy from it, with a note sewn on it: "Paul, hurry up and come back, or I will beat your brother on the court." ”
Lu Deng handed over the panda to Frank Vogel.
A large group of reporters came up to take pictures and shoot, and they all saw the sentence on the note.
"Really heartfelt blessings."
"Lu Deng is really hearty." It is rare for a rookie to have such delicate expressions and blessings. Everyone was full of praise for Lu Deng.
It's just that this is a pre-match press conference, shouldn't the pre-match press conference be sabre-rattling? Lu Deng turned a pre-match press conference into a diplomatic event.
Soon, the news of Paul George's blessing from Paul George at Ludden's pre-match press conference spread online.
Lu Deng's new week-old Twitter account originally had more than 700,000 followers, and it was mainly Chinese followers.
The operation team uploaded pictures of the press conference, and the comments from American netizens exceeded 50,000+ in two hours, and the retweets exceeded 10,000+.
In one day, the number of fans grew to more than 1.7 million, and at least 700,000 fans were local fans in the United States. Especially Indiana, the circle of fans has exploded, and Lu Deng has gained countless fans.
No wonder, you see Lu Deng praising Indiana, Miller Moment, City of Heroes, President Hill, take care of Indiana's urban feelings?
Paul George added Lu Deng as a friend, and posted the kung fu panda sent by Lu Deng, with a sentence: "Thank you to my Chinese brother." ”
A whole bunch of Pacers big Vs and George's NBA friends retweeted the comments. Luis Scola's comment was: "The Champion Show reminds me of Yao. ”
However, most of the other Pacers players commented: "Paul, don't worry, you're not here, we'll beat him up for you!" ”
It's obviously a battle to defend the honor of the city, but it's more like an interactive show of love.
It's so weird!
Before the official start of the game, Lu Deng checked the miracle system. Miracle mm is right, increasing fans can really increase the [basketball factor]. At first, it was 450 points, which didn't take long, and it rose by more than 25 points to 475 points.
It's just that when will the reward be cashed out!
With so many basketball factors accumulated, what treasures can be rewarded?
Nezha's mother was pregnant for three and a half years and gave birth to Nezha, and the system was "dystocia", can she also "give birth" to a super baby?
