Chapter 265: Days in Princeton (3)
In fact, Junxin knew that he was not a person who liked the lifestyle under the spotlight very much, so he never thought that he had the ability to deal with this kind of profession to dig into the secrets of others, this kind of person is called a journalist, or a paparazzi.
It is true that because of the existence of this kind of person, the world has become more entertaining in a practical sense, but not everyone likes this kind of entertaining life. Especially as the kind of scientists who are dedicated to research.
Although scientists have traditionally disliked the kind of behavior of appearing outside to please people, in fact, no influential scientist can leave the attention of the media, and scientists have always lived in disgust and dependence on the media.
“… May I ask Mr. Junxin, after the last game, Coach Pique said that you formulated the tactics of your school's basketball team, is this true? ”
"That's right!" After the match to advance to the Sweet Sixteen, Junxin, who successfully defeated the Devil Deacon team of Wake Forest University, was soon blocked by a group of reporters. After finally stabilizing the order with the help of the stadium staff, Junxin began to answer the questions simply. But as always, it's simple and straightforward.
"Actually, you're the actual court conductor at Princeton, right? How did you get this permission? ”
'Coach Pique felt that the youngsters should be given more opportunities to practice, so he handed over the command of the team to me, and in fact his trust was very important to me and was the key to my success.
"May I ask what is your relationship with the legendary young oriental scholar Jun Xin in the academic world?"
"I am him, he is me!"
"Have you ever thought about working in basketball? NBA commissioner David Stern is very optimistic about your achievements in basketball. ”
"At the moment, basketball is not going to be my career choice, my goal is to be in academia, and working in high-energy particle physics and theoretical physics, as well as mathematics will be my main choice, as for other careers, it is almost impossible."
"Why wouldn't you have an interest in basketball? Coach John Wooden of the University of California, Los Angeles has a high opinion of the system you created, and thinks it's a great breakthrough in the world of basketball tactics, combining simple tactics into big ones and being able to exert unimaginable power, and I think you might want to consider staying in basketball. ”
"Thank you Coach Wooden for the compliment, but I really have no interest in coaching basketball all the time, and in fact I agreed to Coach Peake to take over as assistant coach with the Princeton Tigers just to see if math helps with sports and training. As for the No. 5 tactic, it is just a basketball tactical model that I deduced through a lot of mathematical modeling methods after permutating and combining the Princeton tactics and the triangle offensive tactics, and I never expected that this tactic would have such great power. ”
"You really don't think about it?"
Junxin said a little helplessly: "In fact, before you asked this question, the school leaders also communicated with me about the position of assistant coach at Princeton University, but I really have no intention of continuing to stay in the basketball world. ”
"Can you predict where your team will play this year?"
"I hope Princeton can go to the end and lift that big pants-like trophy and it will be a glory for Princeton!"
"Your next match will be against the University of Maryland, what do you think of this game?"
"The University of Maryland is strong, but I'm sure Princeton will be the winner!"
"Hello Mr. Jun, I am a reporter for the HSD Post, as far as I know, every research you have made is of great significance, I wonder how you have achieved so much in such a short period of time?"
"Maybe I have a natural talent for math!" After thinking about it carefully, Jun Xin shook his head and said, "Although you said that I have made many great achievements in such a short period of time, in fact, after careful analysis, you can find that most of the so-called achievements are based on mathematics, maybe they are mathematical problems themselves, or they may be interdisciplinary problems extended from mathematics. Or from a mathematical point of view, put forward unreasonable points for experimental verification. ”
Without waiting for the other bewildered reporters to come back to their senses, Junxin continued: "The former, as Modell conjectures, is itself a typical mathematical problem. In between, I published articles on superstring theory in Physical Review and Physical Review Letters. THE LAST PART IS MY QUASICRYSTALLOIDS ARTICLE THAT I PUBLISHED IN NATURE EARLY LAST YEAR. ”
"And how did you find these things?"
, his explanation is like listening to a book from heaven, you dare to ask. In an instant, all the reporters cast murderous glances at the somewhat stupid reporter who had just asked the question.
That's a good question. The discovery of the Modell conjecture was of great serendipity, and I discovered it in the course of my research on Fermat's theorem...... I found a ...... about the deficit of 2" Junxin fully understood this catchy term, and no one on the other side could understand it, but he couldn't stop laughing in his heart, and after explaining the Moder conjecture, he began to introduce his quasicrystals and the most incomprehensible superstring theory to the already dizzy reporters.
“… Well, I'm sorry, but we're not professional scientists, so we probably don't understand your explanation, so..."
"It's okay, I can explain it in detail!" Jun Xin said seriously with a bad suffocation.
"No, no, no!" The reporter hurriedly wiped the cold sweat from his head and said, "I wonder if we're going back to the original topic, I want to ask you how you created the No. 5 tactic recognized in the basketball world?" ”
As soon as these words came out, all the reporters began to wipe the cold sweat that did not exist on their heads at the same time, they could understand every word of what Junxin had just said, but when those simple words were gathered together, they didn't understand what each sentence meant. I can't even understand what people are saying, how can I communicate? Can you still have a good time?
Jun Xin smacked his lips, but he was a little unsatisfied with the group of reporters, but he couldn't say anything.
