Li Chen is doing his usual training as always, and just winning the best rookie award has given him a lot of motivation, although he will not immediately become a training maniac like Kobe, but he can still do it with a little seriousness, such as practicing a few more free throws, or doing a few more sets of physical exercises.

Kobe Bryant has long been surprised by the performance of the younger brother, and with his understanding of Li Chen, it is not difficult to see that the current situation of the younger brother is only three or two days hot, and when he forgets that there is such a thing as the best rookie, then he will definitely change back to the old way. Everyone, including the Boss, is waiting to see when the Big Apple will be beaten back to its original form by the boredom of training.

"I'll bet a week!" Bynum swore that "Cruze will swallow the basketball if it lasts a week!" ”

The unscrupulous teammates got together again, and this time, they even made a bet on how long Li Chen's training enthusiasm could last. This is not to blame them, after all, Li Chen, who just won the Rookie of the Year award, can be regarded as the focus of the team recently, and it would be a pity not to use it to ridicule.

"No, it's Rookie of the Year." Ariza felt that An Zhu was a bit exaggerated, "If I win this award, I will train like crazy for a month, you know, honor is the best stimulant to make people enthusiastic about training!" As he spoke, Tie Zha's face showed a look of longing, and it could be seen that he was very envious of Li Chen's achievements.

Odom, as the person on the team who has the best relationship with Li Chen, can generally guess the thoughts of the big apple, "No?" How could it not? You think so highly of the Cruz! ”

The Grand Lama was very disdainful of Ariza's speculation, "I can guarantee that Cruze will never last 5 days, and as for the week Andrew said, you will treat him as me!" Odom glanced around, "Wait and see, our best rookie will soon be overwhelmed!" ”

Fortunately, Li Chen is exercising his muscles in the gym at the moment, otherwise he would hear the words of his teammates belittled him, and he was not sure that the guy would directly carry the barbell and smash it over, this group of guys also looks down on people too much, although his original intention is only three or five days, but don't say it!

"Cruz, do you have time today?" The sudden sound interrupted Li Chen's sweaty training, and he raised his head to look at the person who came, and it turned out to be the most dispensable person in the team, his former compatriot, Sun Dasheng, the current No. 1 guard of the water dispenser.

"Uh, what's wrong?" Li Chen's face was a little weird, he was not to blame, Sun Dasheng's question itself was a little wrong. Asked if there is time, isn't this usually used on dates, and the big apples with many girlfriends don't have that kind of bad taste, he immediately said hesitantly. "I made an appointment with Lindsay to eat this dish, so I shouldn't have time!"

After saying that, Li Chen reacted, Sun Dasheng is a male pig's foot in Che Zhenmen, it stands to reason that he can't have this kind of strange fetish, thinking about it like this, Li Chen feels that the other party may be asking for something from him.

"What's the matter with you?"

Although the Great Sage failed to adapt well to life in the United States, this did not affect his guessing of Li Chen's thoughts just now, and the suspicion of his teammates made the Great Sage a little embarrassed, and he hurriedly defended himself.

"That's right, our country's TV station approached me yesterday, saying that they wanted to give you an exclusive interview, and they wanted me to ask for your opinion!"

It turned out to be the case, Li Chen immediately breathed a sigh of relief, it was not the first time that CC** wanted to interview him, but it used to be some normal post-game interviews and questions at the press conference, but this time it was replaced by an exclusive interview, considering the billions of viewers behind the other party, Li Chen had to deal with it carefully.

He tentatively asked, "Do you have fans in your country?" "I really have to say that this guy pretends to be very similar, and his white-like expression makes Sun Dasheng mistakenly think that his teammates don't know anything about the Celestial Empire!

"Of course, I guess you must not know how popular you are in our country, not only because you won the Rookie of the Year, but also because of your mixed race."

Dasheng explained to Li Chen very enthusiastically that his position in the team is very embarrassing now, not only is his playing time getting less and less, but what makes him even more sad is that the management has not shown any intention of renewing the contract, and Dasheng himself knows that his time in this team is not long, and the only thing he can hope for now is that he can get a ring like Battle.

Although the process of getting the ring has nothing to do with him, he can still leave a strong mark on his life resume. Winning the championship in the 08-09 season with the Lakers, this kind of experience can make people feel very excited, not to mention that it is not necessarily a matter of the Great Sage at all, no matter how he also acts as a sparring partner in training!

After some consideration, Li Chen found that the words of the interview seemed to be only good for himself, although CC** has been ridiculed countless times, but the ratings have always been amazing, and being able to show his face in front of an audience of 100 million can be imagined to improve the commercial value.

"Well, I'd love to be interviewed by them, but I'll have to ask my agent about the exact timing, and as you know, a lot of business events have been going on lately!" Li Chen didn't lie, to be precise, he should have been a little busy after the end of the regular season, Schwertz would report to him every now and then, and sometimes he had to make an appointment with his partner, which even disturbed Li Chen's regular training to a certain extent.

Fortunately, as a big-name agent, Schwartz also knows these things, if it is not for Li Chen, he will not usually come to disturb his players, and the championship is the most important thing at present. You must know that Li Chen's current training is not only for himself, but also directly related to the improvement of commercial value and the interests of Schwertz.

"You mean? That national media is going to give you an exclusive interview? The words of the big-name agent revealed a strong sense of surprise, and he could already think of the benefits that this interview could bring to Li Chen.

"Promise them, this is a rare opportunity!"

Li Chen looked at Schwartz's reaction amusedly, the other party seemed to be more excited than him, this is not to blame, after all, for people of Schowtz's age, they have already passed the stage of emotionality, and interests are eternal.

"I've promised them, but the time hasn't been set yet!" Li Chen's words sounded so pleasing to Shuwotz.

The big-name agent put his mind at ease, "That's good, I agreed with them on the specific time, you just have to train, for the championship, come on!" ”

"Again, for our common good, come on!"

The interview began the day after the Great Sage's inquiry, and Schwertz was very good at dealing with the media, and he knew that it was most useful for these reporters who had nothing to do all day to put on a superior posture, to let them know who was asking whom, so as to ensure that they would not ask some tricky questions during the interview.

Under the pretext that his players have been busy recently, Schwertz very forcefully mentioned the interview plan at this time, although the reporters of the Celestial Empire were not fully prepared, but they had no choice but to advance the plan.

"Hello, mr.li, and welcome to take time out of your busy schedule to be interviewed by us!" The reporter sent by the Celestial Empire this time is not a gold medal name, after some introduction, Li Chen knew that the guy in front of him was called Xu Jian, although people relied on the relationship to enter the CC** through the back door, but since they can sit in this position, a mouth must be able to talk.

"I've heard that your show will be watched by hundreds of millions of people, right?" Li Chen disguised himself very well, although he spoke Chinese very slippery, but in the eyes of others, this guy still looked like a novice.

Xu Jian naturally didn't know Li Chen's thoughts, he explained very enthusiastically, "I'm not sure if there are so many audiences, but you have to know that our country has a population of 1.3 billion, and we are still a big sports country, and there are many people who love sports and basketball. "As a person sent by CC**, he naturally behaves very officially when talking about the Celestial Empire, and the title of a sports power is firmly on Xu Jian's lips.

"God, so many people, it's exciting to think about!" Li Chen cooperated with the other party's words very much, anyway, each had their own needs, and they just used each other, and it was still necessary to give face. It's just that Li Chen is very disdainful of Xu Jian's big sports country, and regards sports as a part of politics, which is a paradox in itself. If the money used to train Olympic champions can be used to solve the education problem in poor areas, it will definitely be more useful than winning 100 championships.

"Hey, Cruz, you know we've always been curious about how you developed this Chinese dialect and your half-race identity, can you tell us about it?" Xu Jian first asked a question. Indeed, as he said, a considerable part of the audience in the Celestial Empire wanted to know where this guy learned his authentic Mandarin.

Li Chen smiled, he had already prepared for this question, "I'll talk about the latter question first, this is also what the director of the orphanage told me, my biological mother died shortly after I was born, and my biological father seems to have thrown me into the orphanage because of business failure, and then ran away, according to the dean, it was a Chinese!" ”

It didn't matter what he said, but it was embarrassing to Xu Jian, and he thought that they were a warm and happy multinational family, so what was going on for a long time.

"Well, I'm sorry to hear that!" Xu Jian struggled for a long time and didn't know what to say, saying that who is okay, that is obviously a joke, that is not good, but no matter what people say, he is also Li Chen's biological father, and after thinking about it for a long time, he still decided not to talk about all this.

Li Chen saw the other party's entanglement, and he smartly diverted the topic, "As for my Chinese, I don't know why, maybe because of the bloodline in my body, I am very talented when learning Chinese, and even I want to say that I have never hired a teacher when I was learning Chinese, I learned it all through online videos." ”

Although this is all a lie, Xu Jian doesn't know. "Oh, then you are really amazing, you know that there are many people in our country who are learning English, just as you learn Chinese, I guess there must be many people who envy your talent in language!"

"If you have an irresponsible dad!" Li Chen didn't have any special feelings when he talked about all this, and the so-called biological father was just an insignificant passerby in his heart.

This joke was not funny in Xu Jian's opinion, he did not take the conversation, but changed the question. "You're going to face the Rockets in the Western Conference semifinals, are you confident?"

"Of course, our goal is to win the championship, and against the Rockets is a game we have to win, besides, you know, we have a record of winning all three meetings in the regular season, and if this is changed to the playoffs, the Rockets have been swept!"

"As you said, it was just the regular season, and as you can see from the time against the Trail Blazers, the Rockets are very demoralized right now!" Xu Jian is a fan of the Rockets, and he's trying to find some reason for his team.

Li Chen was not interested in this kind of argument, "Yes, I have seen the performance of the Rockets in the first round, although they are difficult to deal with, but we are Lakers, no matter what, my teammates and I will do our best, you must know that we have been preparing for this for a whole season!" ”

The topic after that was nothing special, it was nothing more than some personal hobbies, basketball experience, and his own views on the Celestial Empire, Li Chen endured the pain and made it up one by one, especially the basketball experience, which cost him countless brain cells. Of course, at the end of the interview, Xu Jian did not forget to gossip about Li Chen's private feelings, which satisfied the curiosity of many domestic audiences.

After an interview, both parties were happy, Xu Jian was able to make a deal, and Li Chen was able to show his face, although it was not enough for everyone to know about him, but it was still a lot of benefits for him. Then, it's time to put your mind back to the Western Conference semifinals, the rocket is in the air, and Li Chen's task is to blow it up, at all costs. (To be continued.) )
