The Timberwolves' recent spurt has captured national attention, and in January, the Timberwolves' 12-game winning streak became one of the hottest events.

Zheng Ke was invited to participate in a show, which is a talk show owned by CBS, he originally didn't want to participate in this show, according to his character, now it is very high-profile, and there is no need to rely on this show to increase popularity. However, Schwertz persuaded Zheng Ke, saying that this talk show had a great response in the United States, and it would be beneficial for him to participate in this show.

"Okay," Zheng Ke had no choice but to respond.

The name of this talk show is "The Late Show", and the host is Greg Ferggs, he is an excellent late-night talk show host, 47 years old, born in Glasgow, Scotland, and later lived in London, England for seven years, worked as a drummer in a small band, worked as a janitor in a nightclub, and has a very rich life experience.

CBS is very happy, after all, Zheng Keke is now the NBA's popular spicy chicken, and in Minnesota it is like James's status in Cleveland, in the popular phrase, that is, "everyone loves China Zheng". Being able to invite Zheng Ke as a guest can definitely increase the ratings.

Zheng Ke appeared at the scene of the recording of the show that night, and according to the director's arrangement, he was the first guest to appear.

Greg Ferggs maintained his usual style of language throughout the show, opening with the words, "Good evening, Minnesota, good evening, American." Relax. Tonight. We've got the star of the Timberwolves, one of Minnesota's hottest teams, who recently led the team to the longest winning streak in Timberwolves history, and we welcomed him to the game. All right? ”

The audience immediately cooperated with screams, cheers and applause, and when Zheng Ke appeared along with the music, the deafening cheers turned out to be even louder.

Greg Fergus greeted him and shook Zheng Ke's hand, and then Zheng Ke generously waved his hand to the audience and sat down on the sofa together.

Fergus asked with a smile, "First of all." Welcome here, it is said that this is your first time on a variety show? ”

"Yes," Zheng Ke nodded. He replied with a smile.

"Wow, that's a great honor for our Late Late Show." Fergus exaggerated his mouth wide open.

The crowd immediately burst into cheers, and the people who came to the scene today were all local Minnesota fans, and everyone was very happy to get Zheng Ke's "first time".

“haode。” Fergus continued: "Everyone knows that you came to the United States at the age of 17. But now you speak English and I sound the same as an American, how did you learn? ”

"Ah, that's nothing." Zheng Ke was a little surprised, the host's question was really strange, he thought that he would ask some questions about the team, and made a lot of preparations in that regard, but this time it was really a little sudden. So he thought for a moment and replied, "I suffered a lot when I was learning English. But being in this environment, going out and shopping every day. Talking to people, seeing and hearing in English, it's hard not to improve your skills. ”

There was a burst of applause at the scene, although Zheng Ke said lightly, but anyone can imagine that it is not easy for a 17-year-old boy to live alone in a foreign country.

Fergus also applauded lightly and said with a smile: "I heard that you went to the University of Florida in college, did you participate in the NCAA in the first place?" ”

"Yes," Zheng Ke sweated profusely and said, "I participated, but I was not the main force, there were Al (Horford) and others in the team at the beginning, and I was just a soy sauce player." ”

The audience burst into laughter.

Fergus also showed a mouthful of big white teeth and said: "But you have made more progress since you entered the NBA, you were a second-round draft player, but now you are a superstar, can you tell me how you made this progress?" ”

Will I tell you I'm hanging? Zheng Ke secretly complained in his heart, and then Zhengse said: "Keep training, only keep training can master powerful skills, I hope I can become an excellent man, I tell myself every day to become the strongest basketball player." ”

There was applause at the scene.

"So, your goal is to be the best basketball player?"

"Yes, that's my goal."

Fergus asked, "Including surpassing Michael Jordan?" ”

"It's a big dream, I hope I can surpass Michael, but you know, it's a lot of difficulty, his scoring ability, his defensive ability, his ability to read the game is unmatched, and I still have a long way to go. ”

Fergus looked at Zheng Ke with appreciative eyes, this is a man with dreams, just like him at the beginning, he looked at Zheng Ke and asked, "So, your goal at this stage is to continuously improve your basketball jishu and strive to become the most dominant athlete on the basketball court?" ”

"Yes." Zheng Ke nodded and replied.

"Haode," Fergus stopped the conversation and began to ask about things in Zheng Ke's life: "You know, the fans are very concerned about the lives of the stars, what kind of person are you in life? ”

Zheng Ke blurted out: "I am just an ordinary person in life. ”

"Ordinary people?" Fergus was a little surprised and asked: "But the post-game life of the stars should be relatively rich, right?" After speaking, he showed a slightly obscene expression.

Immediately the audience burst into exclamations, and it seemed that they were interested in the issue.

"It's okay," Zheng Ke didn't know how to answer.

"Okay, let's change the question, what are your hobbies?"

Zheng Kedao: "I usually like to read books, listen to music or something, and occasionally play two games, such as 2k9, I like to play this game very much, and sometimes I will pull other Timberwolves players over to play together to kill some spare time." ”

Fergus obviously did enough homework before the race, he nodded and said: "Everyone knows your musical ability, you just released a solo single not long ago, this song called "Baby" has attracted a lot of attention so far, and the momentum of the major charts is very fast, very good. ”

After speaking, he took the lead in applauding, and the audience immediately burst into applause.

Zheng Kegan laughed twice, he was a little embarrassed to be praised like this.

Fergus teased: "Now everyone knows that Weishenme's rising star in the music scene, our little princess Taylor Swift will fall in love with this man, because he is also an insider!" ”

The scene immediately burst into laughter, and everyone cheered.

Zheng Ke is embarrassed, and there is a fart connection.

Fergus asked: "As we all know, you and Kevin Durant are good brothers, although you are rivals on the court, but you both have a good relationship in private, and now that both of you are in the top 10 of the scoring charts, do you two motivate each other?" ”

"Yes," Zheng Ke nodded in response, "Kevin and I are good brothers, we often motivate each other off the court, I don't want to lose to him, just like he doesn't want to lose to me, he has improved a lot, and the Thunder will become one of the biggest enemies on the way forward for the Timberwolves in the future." ”

The audience immediately let out an exclamation, I didn't expect Zheng Ke to have such a high evaluation of the Thunder team that is now the bottom in the West, and looking at this expression, Zheng Ke didn't seem to be a compliment, he was serious.

"The fans are concerned about your contract extension," Fergus asked, "Your next contract with the Timberwolves will definitely give you the highest salary on Arenas terms, but how many years are you going to sign?" ”

Zheng Ke broke the news: "It's a 4+1 contract, a fifth-year player option, I like Minnesota, I'm comfortable with the Timberwolves, I believe our progress will make the league look sideways." ”

Thunderous applause immediately erupted in Minnesota fans, and Minnesota fans loved to see their Super Zheng stay here.

"Okay, so congratulations on becoming a multi-millionaire, that feels good, right?" Fergus asked.

"Of course," Zheng Ke generously admitted, raised his eyebrows, and said: "You know, when I first came to the United States, I came here as an international student, and once I went out to play, and on the way back to school, there was an old beggar with gray hair who reached out and asked me for money, and I pushed his hand away; A group of massage girls flattered me and I pretended to be blind, and after experiencing these temptations, I looked up to the sky and sighed: "If only I had money". ”

"Hahahaha," Fergus said with a smile, "You are very good at this paragraph, I see that you also have the talent to be a talk show host, how about it, or I will pass on my position to you." ”

"Forget it," Zheng Ke said with a smile: "I'm so handsome and rich, I'll scare away the guests." ”

"Haha" Fergus couldn't stop laughing at this time, and said: "Whoever still tells me that the Chinese are modest now, I will definitely take out my treasured revolver and smash his head." ”

The laughter at the scene came one after another, and it never dissipated for a long time. (To be continued......)
