Chapter 104 Flying Basketball Dream

The two played at the Navy Pier for a noon, because this issue of "Oprah Talk Show" did not need Li Feng to participate in the shooting of some exterior images, so in the afternoon, they went to the recording site to record directly.

Produced and hosted by Oprah Winfrey, the queen of American talk shows, the show is the most-watched talk show in American history. It is also the longest-running daytime television talk show in U.S. history. Since December 8, 1986, the show has gone through more than 20 years and has aired more than 3,000 episodes.

On November 20, 2009, according to foreign media reports, after 23 years on the air, "Oprah Talk Show" will end on September 9, 2011, and it is an honor to participate in this show.

At this time, outside on the recording site, a set of sofas was set up on the stage, and Oprah Winfrey in a yellow sweater sat on it; At least 50 people from the audience sat in the audience. At the photographer's motion, the program began to be recorded, and Oprah Winfrey looked in the direction of the camera and smiled:

"This is Oprah, and I want to talk to you today, when a young man is faced with doubt, what does he think, how does he deal with it? How much of an impact did this have on his life? How should young people face skepticism? ”

After she finished talking about today's topic, she waved her hand: "Let's take a look at the guests invited today." ”

Oprah's talk show generally revolves around a topic and discusses with the audience, and today is an interview with Li Feng to discuss the topic of "how young people should face doubts".

On the big screen in the back that displayed the "Oprah talk show" logo, some images were suddenly played, including pictures of Madison Square Garden and the dazzling night view of Memphis.

"He's the new core of the New York Knicks, he's 19, he's a Tyrannosaurus rex on the basketball court, he's the league's most promising superstar......"

"Yes, he is Li Feng!"

Oprah shouted and said with a smile:

"Welcome to him! Sharp, come out. ”

Li Feng walked out of the backstage passage with a smile on his face, and the scene suddenly burst into applause, and most of the audience were young people, who applauded warmly and shouted Li Feng's name. Li Feng smiled and waved his hand to the audience, walked to the sofa in the middle of the stage and sat down, shook hands with Oprah, and said with a smile:

"Hello, Oprah."

"Hello, Feng."

Oprah laughed heartily, and immediately said:

"Striker, you're amazing, you led the New York Knicks to victory over the mighty Spurs at Madison Square Garden."

Li Feng listened to her with a smile on his face, and Oprah asked:

"So, I heard that you've loved playing basketball since you were a child?"

She asked this question, which meant to let Li Feng talk about his childhood and growth.

Li Feng nodded and said:

"Yes, I've been very fond of basketball since I was a child, and when I was three years old, I didn't touch a basketball, but that kind of hydrogen balloon, and every day, even when I was sleeping, I held it."

He recalled the scene in his previous life, the picture was very blurry, but he clearly remembered his mood at that time, and said:

"And then I was looking at the screen, with Michael Jordan, with Clyde, with Damil Wilkins, and they could soar through the sky and do flashy moves, and I was like, wow, there's a lot of people in there! Are they trapeze? I'm going to fly with basketball too! ”

There was a burst of soft laughter at the scene, and Li Feng said with a smile:

"That's how I got hooked on basketball, and I spent my childhood with basketball."

Oprah Road:

"So, you grew up with basketball."

She asked again:

"When did the idea of 'I'm going to play in the NBA' come about?" …,

Li Feng frowned and thought for a while, shook his head and said:

"I don't remember when it was the first time, but what made me up my mind was watching Reggie's performance in New York, and Reggie is one of my favorite players......

Oprah wondered:

"What's Reggie Miller?"

Li Feng said with a smile:

"Shooting is soft in the eyes of many people, I thought so at the time, but Reggie's shooting has a murderous aura, this is the basketball in my heart!"

As he spoke, Li Feng's eyes became brighter and brighter, as if there was a world realm that had never appeared before.

Detroit is the largest city in the U.S. state of Michigan and the seat of Wayne County. Founded in 1701 by French furriers, it is an important port city located in the northeastern United States, north of Windsor, Canada, along the Detroit River, and a traditional automobile center and music capital of the world. The city gets its name from the Detroit River, which connects Lake St. Clair to Lake Erie, and it is derived from the French word meaning "river of the straits."

The Detroit Pistons are no longer the same team that they used to be in the Eastern Conference Finals for many years, and they fell to a low point last season with only 39 wins, and finally barely made the playoffs as eighth in the East. In the first round of the playoffs, they lost very dismal 04 out again, and this season the Pistons' goal is to "kill two birds with one stone" - both to improve the record and start to rebuild.

This season, the Pistons head coach was replaced by John Kuster, who has 19 seasons of coaching experience, serving as an assistant coach for the Cavaliers last season and as an assistant coach for the Pistons in the 2003-2004 season.

But it's safe to say that the head coach will be a soft spot for the Pistons.

On the offensive end, the Pistons averaged just 94.2 points per game last season, the third-lowest in the league and just a little ahead of the Grizzlies and Bobcats. But don't worry about the Pistons' offensive firepower this season, as they have two scoring greats in Gordon and Veranineuve. Gordon averaged a career-high 24.3 points per game in the playoffs last season, while Villanueva averaged 16.2 points per game with the Bucks last season.

Defensively, the Pistons ranked eighth in the league in defensive prowess last season, but after the departures of Rasheed Wallace and Antonio McDyce, their defensive quality is bound to decline. Of the four players who have been transferred as free agents, only Ben Wallace, who has returned, is a defensive player.

Gordon's offensive ability is indeed strong, but defense is his weakness, which may be a bit out of line with the Pistons' overall style. Coupled with the fact that Gordon's position coincides with Richard Hamilton, perhaps he would like to play as a sixth man off the bench, but would he be willing to have his playing time drastically cut?

Judging from the overall situation in the Eastern Conference at the moment, it will be difficult for the Pistons to regain the glory of the past, after all, the Magic, Cavaliers and Celtics are too strong, so their goal is to improve their record and start rebuilding at the same time. It is also very problematic for the Pistons to make the playoffs this season, even if they are overperforming, but the final ranking is estimated to be around six or seven.
