Chapter 226: Interview

"Today we are fortunate to have the NBA's famous center, the top pick in the 2oo1 draft, and Kwame who was nicknamed the greatest center in the galaxy by Barkley. Brown, let's welcome Kwame with a round of applause. Brown! ā€

I straightened my already neat suit and walked onto the stage with a sweet smile.

This is an interview that various Chinese media heard that I can speak Chinese, and the host is Lin Mo of Sports Weekly, a very sweet-looking female reporter.

In the warm applause of the audience composed of various journalists, I sat very elegantly in the VIP chair that had been prepared for me a long time ago.

"I can invite Kwamei. Mr. Brown came to our show, and we couldn't be happier. We know that there are very few people in the whole of America who can speak Chinese, and even fewer who speak Chinese in the NBA, and we've heard that Brown is fluent in Chinese, can you use Chinese to greet our live audience? ā€

I swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva and brewed my emotions, I hadn't spoken Chinese for a long time, and when the words came out of my mouth, I felt a little unnatural.

I bowed my head and smiled and said to the reporters in the audience, "Hello everyone! Welcome to America! Welcome to the NBA" I was about to go on, but I was interrupted by a round of applause.

"Excellent! If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes and heard it with my own ears, I would have thought it was a fellow Chinese villager talking to me? But there is a taste of Jiaodong in your words, is your Chinese teacher a Jiaodong person? Lin Mo grasped the innate flavor in my voice.

"I don't know this, my Chinese was learned from my kung fu teacher, my kung fu teacher's hometown seems to be a place called Shandong, I don't know where it is!" I vaguely said that I couldn't go into too much detail about some things, which would make people suspicious.

"Even! Kwamei, can you also Chinese kung fu? What kind of kung fu is it? Can you show us the practice? Lin Mo looked surprised.

"It's Tai Chi! According to my teacher, this kind of kung fu is the most widely spread kung fu in China, and many people know it, but I practice it very ordinarily! I said modestly.

"What a humility! Don't you like the applause of our audience is not enthusiastic? Lin Mo said humorously.

There was a warm applause at the scene, accompanied by the applause and shouting.

"I'll be ugly! It's not good, please forgive me! I stood up with my hands over and said.

I took off my suit jacket and began to punch one by one, starting from the beginning, the wild horse split its mane, the white crane flashed its wings, and I fought with my knees and steps.

Immersed in Tai Chi for many years, this simple set of 24-style Tai Chi was beaten by me as if it were a flowing cloud, showing the style of an expert in every move.

At the end of the ceremony, the audience applauded thunderously. Miss Lin Mo smiled and gave me my coat.

The interview continued.

"I didn't expect Brown's Tai Chi to be so good, it seems that you have put a lot of effort into it, do you practice it often?" Lin Mo asked.

"It's just getting up in the morning and practising, I usually have to go to practice basketball, you know, if I don't play hard, I won't have a penny to take, haha......" I said with a smile.

"Speaking of basketball, you seemed to have a lot of trouble at the start of your rookie season last year, and a lot of people said you couldn't be a good player, how did you deal with those questions?" Lin Mo led the conversation to basketball.

I licked my lips, thought for about three seconds, and then said, "Actually, any good player will encounter criticism of one kind or another, and if no one says anything about you, it only proves that you haven't become a great star yet, and only when you're good enough, someone will criticize you." ā€

"Last year, when I was surrounded by criticism, Michael told me that he hadn't won a championship yet, and he was surrounded by all kinds of voices, and many people thought that he didn't have the leadership temperament, that he wouldn't make his team strong, that he wouldn't lead the team to a championship."

"When he won the championship, a lot of people said that he didn't win the championship alone, and that he wouldn't have won so many championships without Pippen and Rodman, and this voice is still mentioned today."

"So don't pay attention to the criticism, they don't understand what we've done to win, they don't know if we have a championship heart, as long as we keep telling ourselves, play hard, fight for victory, keep making ourselves stronger. So when you retire, whether you have ever won a championship ring or not, you will not regret what you have done, because you have been working hard. "I talked.

"This year's rookie Yao Ming has a similar problem, do you think he needs to keep training and ignore the criticism from the outside?" Lin Mo hurriedly led the topic to Yao Ming.

I smiled and began to say the words I had prepared: "Yao Ming is different from me, Yao Ming is an international superstar, he has proven himself in international competitions, he is tall enough, as long as he stands in the penalty area, even if he does not move, it is a huge threat to the opponent, in addition, he has a very good hand, his shooting is as accurate as a guided missile, which allows him to maintain enough deterrence when attacking, plus those very superb center skills, This makes him extremely competitive in the NBA, and he is not playing well at the moment, just because he has not adapted to the rhythm of the NBA. ā€

"I'm different, I'm just a high school student, my center skills were still in high school last year, and my mid-range shooting was also opened after I entered the NBA, and even now my center skills are still half a bottle of vinegar, and there are many areas that need to be further learned and improved. The two of us are completely different, there is some essential difference between the two of us, he is a finished product and I am only a semi-finished product! ā€

I kept flattering Yao Ming's strength with the right language, but in fact it wasn't flattery, I was just telling the truth, although the current Americans haven't recognized this rising center.

"How long do you think it will take Yao Ming to get used to the rhythm of the NBA?" Lin Mo asked this pre-designed question.

I pretended to hesitate, thought about it for about 3o seconds, and then said, "I've looked at some of his recent tables, and although the tables are very poor, I can see that he is improving every game, and he was beaten by Stephen Stephen when he was playing against the Suns because of his poor handling of the center of gravity when he was stuck in the position. Marbury is shaking, but now you're going to have Yao Ming completely dealt with that, his positioning, his defense has gradually caught up with the rhythm of the NBA, and I think he's starting to adapt to the rhythm of the NBA. I continued to say good things about Yao Ming.

"Then why hasn't Yao Ming revealed his due strength until now?" Lin Mo continued to ask questions.

"There are some things in the world, not that you are ready, you can succeed, you still need to wait patiently for the opportunity, waiting for a certain occasion to catalyze, but as long as you are ready, I believe that the time from your success will not be very far, just now the host asked me how long Yao Ming will have to burst his strength, I feel that this time will not wait for a long time, because Yao Ming has begun to gradually adapt to the rhythm of the NBA."

"Can you roughly estimate the time of Yao Ming's explosion?" Lin Mo broke the casserole and asked.

"Not necessarily! I'll guess it! It takes about two conditions for a person to explode, one is a strong opponent, and the other is in an absolute trough, it is obvious that Yao Ming is now at an absolute trough, and he needs to have a strong enough opponent now, so that he can completely detonate his small universe! I feel that when I meet O'Neal in that big battle with the Lakers, I guess he will be able to explode! Haha, it's pure guessing! I laughed and said my judgment.

"Haha, we hope to see Yao Ming's explosion sooner, but I have a question for Brown!" Lin Mo's face was mysterious.

"What's the problem?" I'm a little confused.

"Among the famous centers in the NBA now, you are considered to be in the top few, and there are even many experts who say that you and O'Neal are basically the same strength, why don't you predict that Yao Ming will not explode in this game?" Lin Mo had a smile on his face, but his smile was filled with a sense of conspiracy succeeding.

"Haha!" I laughed out loud to prolong my thinking, and finally I thought of how to answer: "Host, you are so funny, you actually made trouble for myself and let Yao Ming explode in this game, wouldn't that make a mess for me, but I was the one who defended him!" Seeing that he is so tall and strong, I will build yƬ for O'Neill to make trouble! Don't blow up this game! Ha ......"

My half-joking answer caused a burst of laughter from the crowd of reporters.

"On November 1o, Sir Charles said that if Yao Ming scored more than 19 points, he would kiss Kenny. Smith's ass, heard about you and Charles. Sir Barkley is a very good friend and he did special training for you this summer, what do you think about that? Lin Mo brought up another tricky and strange topic.

"Very disgusted with people, even some people thought he was a villain, very rebellious in character, as for his big mouth dare to say anything, can say anything, but I know Buckley is a very straightforward, very honest person, he never hides his opinion about what he says, and when you talk to him, you don't have to think hard about whether there is something else hidden in his words, because what he says is what he thinks at the moment. Of course, this idea may not be quite correct. ā€

"Do you think Barkley will lose?" Lin Mo asked again.

"There's never been a top pick in NBA history who has never scored 19 points, so there's a good chance that Barkley will lose!"

"If Barkley loses, do you think he's going to kiss Kenny. Smith's ass? Lin Mo continued to ask.

"We can do something to Charles. Barkley sneered at what he said, but we can't insult his character, and I can say responsibly that once Yao Ming scored 19 points, Charles. Barkley will definitely cash in on his bet, I can guarantee that! ā€

"Why is Brown going to make a bet?" Lin Mo continued according to the pre-designed question.

"I'm confident that if Yao Ming scores 19 points and Barkley doesn't fulfill the contract, then I'll donate $10,000 to charity......
