Chapter 27: The First Interview

In the game against the Celestial Empire national team, the Magic won, and Jonny also got 44 points, 3 rebounds and 5 assists beautiful statistics, but such data did not allow Jonny to prove himself, on the contrary, there were more doubts.

"He's a player with a lot of tricks, and I can't figure out why the Magic would choose him."

"Some of his shooting choices are very unreasonable, of course, this year's No. 13 pick Kobe Bryant is also such a person, but obviously, he doesn't have the strength of Kobe Bryant, so, the Magic are blind!"

"Even a Celestial Empire guard can easily break through him and score in front of him, you can imagine how bad his defense is, a big colander on the defensive end, this time the Magic is obviously wasting a first-round pick, and a contract with a first-round pick."

Criticism in the media was incessant, and at the same time, several media outlets that came to the United States from the Celestial Empire also took action. Which country is this Asian player who broke Sun Jun and competed against Hu Weidong? This is what these Celestial Empire media are curious about, and they began to inquire around.

However, the effect of this kind of inquiry is very small, after all, the current Celestial Empire is not the Celestial Empire in the 21st century where English is everywhere and cannot speak a word of English is out, and even these reporters who go abroad on business are not very good at speaking English.

For example, the reporter said to the translator: "Ask him which country the yellow man on the field today belongs to." ”

Then the interpreter asked the league official in English: "Which country is that Asian player on the field today?" ”

Then the answer of the league officials was obvious: "Of course it is American, there are still very few foreign players in the NBA, only" and then it was slowly pulled by some league officials.

However, among this group of reporters, there is a reporter who is different from other reporters, Zhang Weiping, who is currently a columnist for Tsinghua News Agency's "Basketball Express", also came to the United States to interview, and then he will follow up and report on the Atlanta Olympic Games, and as a member of the Celestial Empire national team in the sixties and seventies of the 20th century, and a coach who studied in the United States in the eighties, Zhang Weiping's English is still very good.

And the Asian guard who was evenly matched with Hu Weidong in the last game was naturally noticed by Zhang Weiping, like other reporters, he also found an NBA official, and then asked about Jonny, but he got very little information, only that the player's full name is Jonny Lee, from Tennessee, attended high school in Indiana, and then is now a player for the Magic.

Then, he didn't know, and when he returned to the station of the reporter of the Celestial Empire that day, there were several reporters who were sending press releases to China, and then some boasted: "Alas, I am really tired, and the final result is not very good" and then the reporter stopped with an unfathomable face.

When other reporters couldn't help but ask, "What was the result?" ”

And Zhang Weiping also came over.

This reporter, who seemed to have gotten some news, said proudly: "I, I found a Korean colleague, and I found out that the person named Lee is a Korean-American, and we have a Celestial Empire, which can't be beaten with eight poles!" ”

"Hey~~! What a shame that is! Several reporters who were around the room let out a sigh.

Zhang Weiping didn't continue to listen, this reporter just got a message from a Korean reporter, this kind of word of mouth is the most prone to mistakes, Zhang Weiping doesn't believe it, he has decided to find the management of Magic, apply for an interview, even if this named Jonny Lee is Korean, it is still a big news, after all, this is the first Asian player to land in the NBA.

When he came to his room, Zhang Weiping found the phone, then took out a large package of business cards from his pocket, rummaged through them, found a business card, and then called according to the phone number on it.

"Hey, is it Mr. Adrian Wojnarowski? I am Wei Ping of the Celestial Empire. Zhang, yes, yes, we met in '88, alas, yes, yes, I'm working at Tsinghua Basketball Express in the Celestial Empire, and I want to ask you for a favor, help me find the owner of the Orlando Magic, and I want to do an interview with that Asian rookie of theirs, alas, thank you, thank you, okay, I'll go to downtown Los Angeles tomorrow to find you. ”

Zhang Weiping soon made a phone call, and when he came to the United States in 88, he met a media friend, Wojnarowski of Yahoo Sports, who was well-known in the American sports world.

The next day, Jonny, who was training in the training gym, was called over by Ricky Adubatu, which made Jonny a little strange, could it be that the coach changed his mind again in the next game and wanted to let him play, which made Jonny look forward to it, but when he walked into Richie Adubatu's office, he knew what he was doing.

There were two people standing in the office, two reporters with cameras, one of whom was a familiar yellow man.

Jonny walked in, and Richie Adumbatu also spoke: "Jonny, these two reporters are going to do an interview with you, you can give them an interview here now, I'll go out first." With that, Ricky Adubatu left the office, and he had to keep an eye on the training on the pitch.

"Hi, hello, you're okay too." Jonny said hello, the first hello is in English, nothing special, Zhang Weiping just stared at Jonny, and when Jonny's second hello spoke, Zhang Weiping's eyes widened, he said Chinese! Zhang Weiping felt that his breathing was much shorter, Chinese! What does this mean?!

Zhang Weiping swept around, as if to make sure that there were no other Chinese reporters around except him, but his expression was still excited, and then asked with a slight trembling: "Are you?" Celestial Empire? ”

"It's not." As soon as Jonny's words came out, Zhang Weiping's heart immediately cooled, but then.

"I'm an American, but my country is the Celestial Empire." Jonny's next words made Zhang Weiping excited again, he was from the Celestial Empire! He is! That's big news! Someone from the Celestial Dynasty has landed in the NBA!

"Alright, let's get started with this interview." Jonny and Zhang Weiping spoke Chinese, and Wojnarowski didn't understand very well, so he waited until the two stopped talking and was ready to start the interview.

Now Wojnarowski is a reporter for Yahoo Sports, but just a small reporter, but a small reporter, this time to do an interview with Jonny, Wonnarowski is a little reluctant, if Zhang Weiping didn't find him, he would definitely not come to do Jonny's interview, so he doesn't want to waste time, he wants to finish it early, so that he can get off work.

Zhang Weiping also knew, he hurriedly sat on the sofa, then looked at Johnny, and asked questions in English, mainly considering Wojnarowski, after all, Wonnalovsky helped him, and he couldn't let people listen to him and this Lee speak Chinese for a long time, and then let Wonnalovsky run for nothing.

The interview began quickly.
