Chapter 227 226. The President's Grievance

Before going to lunch, Liu Mang was called away by a staff member and brought to the reception room of the Wachovia Center.

Liu Mang was very curious, what's wrong? Or is it that the 76ers management is going to do this kind of insidious black-box operation?

For example, throwing down a big contract and letting Liu Mang join the 76ers after finishing next season?

This is a matter of severe punishment!

As a result, the door was pushed open, and there were team owner Steven Price and head coach Kruger inside.

In addition, Liu Mang also saw several unexpected faces!

Reporters sent from China!

A group of four people, a reporter in charge of sketching records, a video reporter, and two commentators, one is Su Qun who is still young, and the other is Zhang Weiping with black hair!

"Win the championship, win the championship..."

Director Zhang's cheers after the Lakers won the championship came to Liu Mang's mind.

It seems that during the group interviews, there were domestic reporters, such as Lang, Fox, TV stations in Guangdong and Guangxi, media in Taiwan Province, media in the special zone... But there is no real owner, that is, it is still the most concerned and mainstream media in domestic sports. The court sports station of the media.

"Ace, you are here. Let me introduce you. These are your reporters from China. They made an appointment for an exclusive interview with you. I wanted to tell you yesterday, but you didn't stay in the officially arranged hotel..." The boss, Price, was very excited. Since he received the interview request from the court sports channel yesterday morning, he was so excited that he was going crazy.

finally come! Finally took the lead and became the first team officially linked with China!

Although Price had such a premonition since he was selected for the All-Star Game, when the most mainstream media in China came to request an interview, he almost lost his breath.

"Hello, Mr. Liu, hello..." Zhang Weiping uttered a string of English.

Obviously, Liu Mang was regarded as someone who could not speak Mandarin.

This is a matter of habit. Generally speaking, although Chinese basketball players are not as dark as a certain football team, and they are so dark that they need to involve some dirty and unimaginable transactions, domestic basketball players have to participate in official competitions, from high school to official competitions. From universities to occupations, etc., they are all regulated by certain local associations and national associations.

Even these days, basketball-related industries, such as the media, are subject to the control of a certain association.

And Liu Mang is completely outside the control of a certain association, that is, he may not be in China since he became famous in basketball, or he may even be a Chinese only, and it is possible that he grew up in the United States.

After all, basketball, except for a very few, more than 95% of basketball geniuses, especially people of yellow race, can see it since childhood.

What does it mean to speak scary.

It was Liu Mang.

There is a very popular accent in China, many people want to learn it but can't learn it well, but it sounds really interesting...

"You're so talkative, hello, I like to see you so much, it's Bashi..." Liu Mangbiao said a sentence in Chengdu dialect.

The four people from China were taken aback for a moment, and their collective heads exploded!

Sichuanese?

What does this mean?

Except for the name Director Zhang, everyone was stunned when they heard the other words.

so awkward! Director Zhang is so embarrassing, he actually uses English, but others can speak Mandarin or dialect, which is even more embarrassing! I still don't understand!

Director Zhang glanced at Su Qun. Su Qun was still a young commentator at this time, not the respected senior later on. He decisively stated that he did not understand, and neither of the two reporters was from the south, especially from the south. The dialect is more or less the same.

If you don't understand...then forcefully pretend to understand! That 'bashi' should be a good word. Director Zhang was quick at playing when he was young, but his head is still quick to react when he is old. He immediately smiled and said in Mandarin: "Mr. Liu, your Chinese is so good. Thank you, thank you. support."

After speaking, Director Zhang pricked up his ears and listened carefully! I must be able to understand.

Then... Liu Mang changed his dialect...

"Aren't you talking nonsense, our Gada Chinese is not good..."

Northeast dialect!

I go!

Where the hell is this from!

etc!

Director Zhang laughed loudly: "Haha, Mr. Liu, you are so funny, there is no way you can't speak Mandarin!"

"Hi, hello, Director Zhang, I often watch the games you comment... Of course, before coming to the United States, you are the greatest player in the history of our country's basketball." .

The latter is not a compliment either. Before Yao Ming, there was really no one who could surpass Zhang Weiping in terms of personal honors. He is the only world championship scoring champion in the history of Chinese basketball!

"Don't dare to be, dare not be, I dare not call it the greatest... In my opinion, Mr. Liu, you are the greatest. You have already played in the NBA, and you have become the starter of the All-Star..."

Theoretically speaking, both Liu Mang and Timberwolves' Szczerbiak are considered All-Star starters, but the real decision will be in the hands of the head coaches of the two teams. Ke, the name is the replacement of the All-Star starter.

"How dare I compare with Director Zhang, a highly respected senior..."

Both of them burst into smiles, and they began to tout commercially...

The two domestic reporters next to him and the highly respected Su Qun in the future were stunned by the sudden change of style of painting. The Eagles owner Price and head coach Kruger on the other side didn't understand what they were saying, but they saw Liu Mang I seemed to have a very happy chat with the lead commentator, and the big stone in my heart was put down.

Coach Kruger is relieved because the boss is relieved. As for Liu Mang's commercial value, he doesn't care so much. In the NBA, as long as he plays well, unless it is too annoying to the fans, the commercial value It's not bad!

On Price's side, he heard complaints from the owner of the Mavericks, saying that their Chinese player has a bad relationship with Chinese domestic journalists and media, and he didn't take advantage of the Chinese market at all. something like that.

Now it seems that everything seems to be moving in a good direction!

After the commercial hype was over, the official interview began. The interviewer was Director Zhang, and Su Qun was in charge of interpreting for the two Americans.

"Mr. Liu..."

"Director Zhang, you can call me... Ace is fine. My English name is Ace." Liu Mang originally wanted the other party to call me by my name directly, but he called his own name seriously, and it still sounds nice. Like being scolded.

"OK, Ace, I know you are also busy. You can be seen almost everywhere during the All-Star Weekend. Can you tell me why you have participated in so many games? As an All-Star player now, you should There is no need to participate in so many games." Director Zhang is very curious about this point, and this is also the biggest question for this year's All-Stars, and the biggest question for basketball fans all over the world after seeing all the entries.

"So..." Liu Mang really didn't think that it was this question when he opened his mouth. The team owner and Kruger, who knew Liu Mang's thinking a little bit, almost laughed outright.

To tell the truth, it is like wanting to be famous and crazy.

But it's impossible to tell the truth! This interview will 100% be released in China after a while. The first NBA star-level player in China, the news about Liu Mang was forced to lift the ban by a certain association in China. It must be the first publicity target in China at this stage. It will become Yao Ming. After all, he is the "son" of a certain association, and he has to pay so much money a year.

Although it was later changed from forty-five percent to five percent, it was still a lot of money...

Let's just say it! Liu Mang thought about it, and said it straight, but from a different angle: "I want to try to get all the best in the All-Stars. At first I didn't expect that I would be selected for the All-Stars, but now I have signed up. Wouldn't it be nice to try an All-Star Grand Slam?"

So confident!

Su Qun hesitated for a moment, translated the translation to the boss Price and coach Kruger, and found that the two were not surprised at all. Director Zhang and the reporter who had just transferred the camera to the management of the two teams also discovered this.

In other words, the Americans are not surprised at what Liu Mang said!

That is to say, our countryman who was selected as an All-Star in his rookie year has always stood tall in the NBA with such confidence!

This is completely different from their previous interviews with Battelle and Wang Zhizhi!

A person's self-confidence, if others don't agree with it, will be regarded as conceited, and a person's self-confidence, others take it for granted, those new people who know this will admire it!

Regardless of whether a certain association opened up the news, it still showed an attitude of indifference. Anyway, Director Zhang, who has devoted most of his life to domestic basketball, decided to praise Liu Mang!

Liu Mang probably didn't expect that his simple answer based on the self-confidence he developed after coming to this world would actually make several Chinese people feel so touched.

This is still the impact of the domestic worship of foreign countries and foreign fawning too seriously! A person with such self-confidence is like a clear stream!

"Then let me bless you, Ace, and wish you the All-Star Grand Slam!" Director Zhang applauded uncontrollably.

The interview will continue, Director Zhang then asked: "Although the time is still a bit long, you still haven't played half of the season, and your record is so good, maybe you can go far in the playoffs, I wish you all the best Get better results, but will you choose to participate in the Indiana World Championships in the summer?"

When mentioning the country, Liu Mang immediately put away his smile and said seriously: "Of course, if the country requires me to participate, I am bound to do so!"

Director Zhang and Su Qun looked at each other and smiled. With this interview, the chance of this young man being tripped by a certain association is much lower.

It's not just fans who are disgusted, as professional basketball players and media people, they are actually disgusted with a certain association, but the system is like this...

What follows are some routine questions, where are you from, how did you fall in love with basketball, how did you get used to it after coming to the United States, and interviews. In fact, most of them are personal but insignificant questions. This interview should be It is necessary to have a little playing time, and some miscellaneous questions are needed.

Director Zhang and Su Qun are both good talkers in the commentary world. It seems that the court sports station is also working hard to get rid of the restraint of a certain association, and specially sent these two moderates instead of Yang Yi and other troublemakers... …

"Mom, teacher, look, it seems that the uncle and a group of ugly uncles are arguing on TV!" Dinah pointed to the TV and said.

Alexia and Levia were just packing up, and they were about to go out for lunch. Although Liu Mang was not as picky as Kobe, he always ate things that normal people might not be able to swallow. It's really unpleasant to eat. The two beauties are going to go out to eat some strong food while Liu Mang is away. Otherwise, watching Liu Mang swallowing his saliva when Liu Mang is here is very refreshing, but I can't live with my conscience. Go big, anyway, he has just reached the first peak of his career recently, a rookie year All-Star player.

The two came together to take a look, and sure enough, the title was the All-Star rookie players in the first and second grades who had quarreled.

Americans may watch this bickering very enthusiastically, such as Alexia, Levia, and Dinah Lolita.

In fact, the description of the TV screen is as follows:

"Today is the day of the annual All-Star rookie game. The All-Star rookie game will be held at the Wachovia Center at 7:00 p.m. During the interview, the star of the rookie team, Ace Liu, said that he did not know which players were in the second grade , Kenyon Martin, the second-year player representative who heard this, said that they will use practical actions to tell the rookies who they are, and the rookie team's response is who Kenyon Martin is, and Kenyon Martin responds again... "

From the perspective of Liu Mang, who was watching the car TV on the rookie team bus at the same time, this quarrel looked like this.

I don't know them.

I will let him know me.

Who was the one who just let me know him?

Make him remember my name!

I don't remember!

I am so angry!

Probably this is the process of quarreling.

But Americans only have so much language and vocabulary, and they found it very interesting to argue, and then they became popular!

For example, Dinah felt: "Uncle is so domineering! Destroy the ugly uncle in the second grade!"

"Ace and the Spaniard should have no problem beating the second grader. Although the Spaniard is a bit softer, Ace is tough enough." Alexia analyzed.

"That's right, it's not an important matter. If Dinah leaves, your uncle will blow up those ugly uncles." Levia also felt that the quarrel between the second graders would definitely lose this time.

Dinah thinks about it too, she thinks that her uncle will become the strongest one day, no, all rookies have made it to the All-Stars, and the last one who was selected for the All-Stars in the rookie game was only played for less than five years. Tim Duncan, who is regarded as a favorable candidate for the number one power forward in history.

...

When the three members of the family were so optimistic about Liu, Liu was in a state of pain.

"Allen, I want to be a substitute." Liu Mang said sincerely.

"No, then others will think that I have conflicts with you." Iverson refused.

"But I really want to be a substitute!" Liu Mang was so desperate.

What is the NBA official doing?

Suddenly, inexplicably, the head coach of the rookie game became an active player!

On the east side is Iverson, and on the west side is Kobe!

Stern knew Liu Mang's complaints, so he didn't feel wronged.

This president is to give attention to your rookie Sierra, okay?
