Chapter 25: Set Sail

What does it mean to become an overnight success?

What does it mean to be in the limelight?

For these, Wang Yu, who hurried to the press conference at this moment, has the deepest experience. He never thought that his transfer would cause a lot of waves in the CBA, and even make the eyes of the national sports media gather here overnight.

Looking at the dozens of media reporters in the venue, although Wang Yu had a smile on his face, his heart was already surging in horror, and he couldn't calm down for a long time. Wang Yu was surprised to find that among those reporters, there were still a few faces of foreigners.

In order to show the importance of Wang Yu's joining, Shanxi Zhongyu Men's Basketball Club not only arranged the venue to a high standard, but also invited many long-retired veterans in the club to the scene of today's press conference. In the midst of laughter, Wang Yu was tightly surrounded by everyone, responding to reporters' questions one by one under the reminder and guidance of the team's public relations and team president.

"Hello Wang Yu, I'm a reporter from Sports Weekly, I want to ask you what you think about how you can get such a high transfer price as a first-year newcomer this time? Was it taken for granted or taken for granted? In the front row, a man got up with a smile and asked.

'I'm grateful for everything the club has done for me, the only thing I can do is play well and try not to disappoint people who expect a lot from me, thank you.' Wang Yu smiled and extracted the manuscripts that had already been memorized in his head.

"It is rumored that your exceptional transfer this time is secretly manipulated by a black hand, do you have anything to say about this?" A well-mannered female reporter raised her hand and asked.

"I know it's a little bit different from the previous ones and it's going to get some criticism, but I would say there's nothing shady about it. I am grateful to the General Bureau of Basketball for breaking the previous routine for my transfer, and I believe that this will be very helpful for the cultivation and discovery of basketball talents in our country in the future, thank you. Wang Yu replied with a smile.

"Hello Wang Yu, I am a reporter from CCTV Sports Channel. After you became famous, now the outside world generally regards you as the future star of Chinese basketball, everyone knows that the weakest link of the Chinese men's basketball team is in the backcourt, I want to ask you as a backcourt player have you considered when to officially join the national team and officially take over the banner of the Chinese men's basketball team from the hands of your predecessors? A flat-headed man with glasses raised his hand and asked.

"I haven't fully proven myself yet, and I believe that the national team is the ultimate goal that every basketball player aspires to, and I would be happy if I was lucky enough to join it, but for now I still have to put all my energy into the league that is going on, thank you for your question." After Wang Yu finished speaking, she put down the microphone, glanced at the public relations next to her, and signaled that she could end today's press conference.

"Hello, I would like to ask..."

"I'm sorry everyone, the press conference has been seriously overtimed, thank you for being able to come to the scene today, and then our team will issue a corresponding announcement for Wang Yu's joining this time, thank you, today's press conference is over."

After the female public relations finished speaking, she immediately pulled Wang Yu and walked briskly outside the venue surrounded by everyone, leaving only a group of reporters behind her who had just not had the opportunity to ask questions.

When Wang Yu returned to his residence after participating in various activities arranged by the team for himself, it was almost 21:00 in the evening, and after a simple wash, Wang Yu was about to go back to his room to rest, when the phone suddenly rang.

Picking up the phone, seeing that it was an unfamiliar number, Wang Yu vaguely guessed which sports reporter might want to interview him privately. I thought I didn't need to pay attention to it, but the phone kept ringing. After hesitating for a long time, Wang Yu still didn't want to offend the reporter, and finally connected the phone.

"Hey, who's that?" Wang Yu asked perfunctorily.

"Of course it's a reporter, who else can it be." A woman's voice rang on the other end of the phone, her words full of laughter.

"Zhang, Sister Zhang? Is that you? How do you know my number? Wang Yu heard Zhang Ping's voice and asked a little excitedly.

"What's so hard about that. Have you forgotten that I used to be a journalist and a team PR? Hehe" Wang Yu's excitement made Zhang Ping very happy, and said: "How about it, can you come out and accept my interview?" ”

"Interview?"

Wang Yu was slightly stunned, suddenly understood, and asked tentatively, "You mean that you are also in this city now?" ”

"yes, hehe. Is it convenient to come out? Zhang Ping said with a smile.

"Okay, where are you now, I'll go over right away." Wang Yu walked into the room as he spoke, chatting on the phone while putting on his clothes.

………

………

At night, the square is full of people.

Being alone in a foreign land and meeting acquaintances made Wang Yu very happy. At this moment, he was strolling side by side with Zhang Ping in the crowd.

"How? Do you feel used to it after you get here? Zhang Ping asked with a smile.

"It's only been a few days since I arrived, and I don't know if I'll get used to it." Wang Yu smiled and said, "By the way, Sister Zhang, what did you just say that you want to be a resident reporter in this city?" Okay, why don't you stay at the Purple Kirin Club? ”

"It's nothing, I just want to go back to my old job." Zhang Ping smiled: "What? Aren't I welcome to your city? ”

"How so, hehe." Wang Yu smiled and said, "Besides, where is my city, I can only be regarded as a migrant worker at most, hehe." ”

"Don't say that." Zhang Ping slapped Wang Yu lightly and said, "I bet with you, it won't be long before the city will fall into complete madness because of you, believe it or not?" ”

"I don't believe it." Wang Yu shook his head bitterly.

"Do you dare to bet with me?" Zhang Ping asked.

"Bet on what?" Wang Yu smiled bitterly.

"Well, you make me think about it." He lowered his head and pondered for a while, then raised his head and said, "That's good, if you lose, you're going to spend my birthday alone with me, how about it?" ”

Hearing this, Wang Yu was taken aback. He never expected Zhang Ping to confess so nakedly, and after a while, he blushed and whispered: "This is not good, let's change the bet..."

"Actually, you already know what kind of heart I have for you, I don't expect you to really be with me, as long as you can be by my side occasionally, I already feel very satisfied." In the whispering, Zhang Ping didn't know where it came from, but he actually told the secret that had been hidden in his heart for a long time.

"Sister Zhang, don't say that. I'm blessed to know you. Wang Yu said, looking away gently, staggering the affectionate gaze that Zhang Ping cast.

"Hehe, then it's like spending a birthday with an ordinary friend, okay?" Zhang Ping said with a wry smile.

"Okay, I promise you." Wang Yu smiled, "No matter what, no matter how you win or lose in the end, I will accompany you for a birthday." ”

In the moonlight, in the light.

Seeing Wang Yu's solemn promise, Zhang Ping smiled sweetly like a little girl.

………

………

Bang, bang, bang, the sound of the basketball hitting the ground sounded one after another in the stadium, and after a long time, with the head coach's whistle at the end of training, Wang Yu and his teammates put down the basketball in their hands and turned around and walked into the locker room.

After a few substitute nights, tonight's game was very important for Wang Yu. He will lead the Shanxi Zhongyu men's basketball team, which has suffered four consecutive defeats, to meet the Zhejiang Guangsha men's basketball team, which has good strength.

Although tonight's game is not the first night of Wang Yu's debut in the Shanxi Zhongyu men's basketball team, it is ten million times more important than the debut night when he played in garbage time. He wants to take down his opponent tonight as the core of the Shanxi Zhongyu men's basketball team, he wants to prove that he is worth the money with a victory, and he wants to announce to the world that his new basketball journey has set sail again.
