Chapter 18: [What are you waiting for, I can't wait]
American cable television has more than 40 million subscribers across the United States, which is a huge number.
Their "Son of Akron: An Interview with LeBron James" that they pushed to viewers last week set off a ratings frenzy. This week, people are looking forward to an interview with another basketball upstart in front of their television sets.
In the final moments of the show last week, the host asked LeBron James: You may be going to the NBA soon, who do you think will be your lifelong enemy?
LeBron may only be 18 years old, but he's very mature, and he says on TV with a slick voice: "It's hard to say. I know a lot of talented players and it's a blessing to be in the same era as them. So, you ask me who my lifelong enemy is, and I don't have an answer. ”
The 'lifelong enemy' on the American side refers to two people who debuted at the same time, have equal strength, and have been competing at a high level for a long time.
The moderator changed the way of asking: "So, who do you want us to interview next week?" ”
"Carmelo Anthony."
LeBron James clearly says a person's name.
This weekend, viewers turned on the TV at 8 p.m., and they saw Carmelo Anthony and a yellow-skinned face sitting next to him... He has an indescribable charm that makes it easy to take your eyes off him.
Obviously, everyone knows that tonight's protagonist is Carmelo Anthony.
Suxi is not a noisy person, he has no intention of stealing the camera at all. He sat quietly on the sidelines, only to wave hello at first.
Then, for a long time Carmelo Anthony was interviewed.
Anthony talks about his high school career, his experience at Oak Hill High School, a basketball powerhouse, and the game he remembered with James.
He also talked about his first college season, where he apparently trained before the interview, and his answers were unanimous.
Everybody knows he's a talented player, everybody knows he's going to be in the NBA, and he's showing a can't wait.
So, the excitement of the show is not high.
Until the host brought the topic to Suhey, his nickname turned out to be Suxi the Sheep.
Oh.
This made the TV audience pay more attention, which is a cute nickname. Moreover, he has a charming handsome and elegant face, and he gives a high-class appeal in a suit.
Suhi sat there and didn't say anything, but she formed a strong attraction to the housewives and girls in front of the TV.
People always like things that are pleasing to the eye.
And this is the 'by-product' of Suxi after being tempered by lightning.
"I'm Suxi, and my English name is Jack." Suhi answered the reporter's first question by introducing himself: "I'm Cameron's teammate, a guard for the Syracuse University Orange People. ”
"Hello Jack. We wanted to know, from the perspective of teammates and good friends, what kind of player do you think Cameron is? What pick do you think he's going to make to the NBA if he announces his participation in this year's draft. The moderator asked.
Su Xi was calm, he didn't have the nervousness and crampedness of the first contact with the camera, he was very natural, he had an aura of control. He's more relaxed than Anthony, and he's got the air of a 'big guy'. After all, Suhi never considered herself a mortal.
This made Bill Duffy a little nervous off-camera, and he originally thought that Suhi was here to foil Anthony, because Suhi didn't pose any threat. But looking at it now, Sushi is more like the main character.
"First of all, for Cameron, he won't make any decisions lightly until he wins this year's championship. He's always been a winner, and a winner always comes as a winner. ”
Su Xi's first sentence helped her friend plug the loophole.
"Cameron is the best player in the NCAA and the best player we have ever seen in the NCAA. What order should he get into the NBA is not something we have to think about. It should be left to the team with the first pick to think. ”
Su Xi's second sentence is still leaky, and it is mainly anti-customer, revealing strong self-confidence.
Bill Duffy gave a thumbs up next to him, thinking that Suhi could be a spokesperson for his team in the future.
After Su Xi said this, the audience in front of the TV was impressed.
They were amazed at Suhi's high level: no wonder they could sit next to Anthony.
At this time, the host grabbed Su Xi's words and asked: "You just said that you want to win the championship?" ”
Suhi nodded.
"So sure?" The moderator then asked.
"This is from the point of view of strength, and what I said to you." Suhi unbuttoned the first button of his suit. Body movements show more confidence.
He's handsome, but he's full of energy.
The host was excited, and he realized that the interview subject was more interesting than Anthony. So, his question started to be a little aggressive: "As far as I know, you're just a defensive player, you don't have a lot of status in the team, and you think you can decide the outcome of the game......"
"No!"
Suxi interrupted the host, who he found a little offensive. "To correct you, I just like to defend, I just enjoy playing against the best players," he said. ”
"Does it make a difference?" The moderator asked-for-tat.
Suhi pulled $100 out of her pocket. "The difference is... You can say I have $100 now, but you can't say I only have $100. Are you sure I don't have any other money in my pocket? ”
Suhi asked the moderator.
When Sushi made this move, the audience in front of the TV was convinced. It's a very vivid metaphor.
They are all applauding Su Xi's clear thinking, they have rarely seen this kind of young child fall into the disadvantage of what the senior host said.
At this time, the host said: "I don't think you have any money in your pocket." ”
Then, tens of millions of TV viewers across the U.S. watched as Suhi pulled a stack of money out of her pocket. And start counting in front of the camera. “… After removing the previous $100, there is still $1,255. Mr. Moderator. ”
The host was a little embarrassed.
He anticipated that this could be a waterloo in his hosting career.
But the director told him to continue in the headphones, and everyone was keenly aware that it would be a very interesting reality TV interview.
"You mean, the ability you're showing now is only $100. And you still have $1,255 in energy in your body. So, aren't you better than Carmelo Anthony? "The host tried to dig a hole for Suhi.
Suhi put the money in her pocket. "I like your reasoning."
The host was stunned and punched the cotton.
The image he struggled to open and close filled the television with joy.
But at this time, he didn't know that there was such a strong TV effect, he just felt that he was being suppressed. He was about to fight back, and he remembered the information he had seen before the start of filming: "I remember, when you played against Georgetown University last year, you went to Georgetown University BBS and posted that you were LIl-Goat, and you thought you would be a player like Jordan?" ”
"The post was not made by me. But when I left the home stadium of Georgetown, people kissed my sneakers and the whole stadium chanted my name. ”
Suxi said in an affirmative tone.
Anthony added appropriately next to him: "That's right. ”
The host couldn't get off the stage again. His expression stiffened: "You're so high-profile, aren't you worried that after entering the tournament, talented players all over the United States will storm you?" ”
"If they have the ability to do it, what are they waiting for?" Su Xi smiled, he stared at the camera very seriously, and solemnly issued an invitation: "Come on, geniuses!" Come knock me down! Use your strength, use your explosiveness! ”
"I can't wait!"
