Chapter 26 [Arrogant Capital]

After the press conference, tv reporter Guo Zhen went for midnight snacks and accepted an exclusive interview.

He attaches great importance to domestic interviews and wants to gain the support of domestic fans. In the future, the number of Chinese basketball fans will far exceed that of football fans and is the country with the largest number of basketball fans in the world.

In 2014, a survey of the people aged 6 to 69 was 90,929. The results showed that the five most watched events were: basketball 34.9%, football 10.4%, table tennis 7.1%, gymnastics 6.8%, badminton 5.9%. Among them, men: basketball 45.9%, football 15.0%, table tennis 5.9%. Women: basketball 22.9%, gymnastics 11.8%, badminton 8.7%.

Why is this happening? Because in the future, all super teams that have just won the Chinese Super League championship can be disbanded on the spot. In 2021, there are still teams in the China League One who are afraid of making fake balls for the Super League, so the goalkeeper threw the ball into his own goal to pay tribute to Japanese goalkeeper Nanxiongta.

The topic is not all about basketball. Guo Zhen is very interested in Yang Jian’s experience when he was in school in China and wants him to talk about how he was admitted to Harvard University.

This is the behavior of a super academic master. Even if he doesn't play basketball, he can publish a book to teach his learning experience just by being admitted to Harvard. Someone will buy this book. Many parents in China want to send their children to study abroad to "gilded".

"There is nothing to say. I have dropped out of school at Harvard. I don't think I am a good role model in learning, because I don't like studying at all, like sports and entertainment. I am willing to be a professional player, rather than finding a company to work from nine to five after graduating from college."

"But you must be very good at studying, right? I have investigated your information. The teacher said that you always listened carefully in high school, but you don't like to talk and rarely communicate with classmates."

"..." Yang Jian took a deep breath. It was indeed a person who didn't like to talk. I would definitely not be able to maintain this persona, and I would be suffocating to death if I didn't speak.

Yang Jian thought for a while and said with a smile: "People can change. I don't think it's a great thing to go to Harvard University. I don't recommend that parents in China send their children to study in the United States."

"Why?"

"Because of cultural differences, even if you memorize tens of thousands of words, it is useless, and it is difficult to use these words. The result of lack of academic vocabulary is that it is difficult to understand what classmates say during classroom discussions, and you don't know what you should say. What is even more difficult is writing papers, which is the most test of the ability to integrate language. You cannot copy them together, as plagiarism is regarded as a serious crime in foreign universities, and it is particularly easy to find out."

Yang Jian has no memory, but knows a lot. In the future, foreign universities are not that mysterious. You can know what it looks like if you often watch movies. He must know more than his current domestic compatriots.

Guo Zhen asked: "Have you adapted to this cultural difference now?"

"I don't adapt, especially my diet. Americans don't like pork, they prefer beef, and they are very dependent on fast food. I'm in China every day, I'm cooking, and pizza, steak, burgers and fried chicken. I'm in a new environment, and there's a big gap in life, communication barriers, etc., which makes people feel very stressed. I'm much better now and have good friends."

Guo Zhen asked: "Is it your teammate?"

"Yes, we all like basketball, and communication is much simpler. There are only a few types of basketball terms, such as running, covering, shooting, switching, etc. And we have a common goal - to win the game."

Guo Zhen asked: "Apart from basketball, what do you usually talk about?"

"Talking about movies, music, and some things are not boundaries. I and point guard Snow agreed to rent a house in Seattle together and practice football together in the summer."

Guo Zhen asked: "Don't you plan to go back to China during the holiday?"

"If I don't go back, I still have many shortcomings in my basketball skills. I need to hurry up and train. If I don't have good training conditions when I return to China, it will waste a lot of time. I hope to become a star in NBA. If I succeed, more people can understand China."

The two chatted for a while, talked about the active shooting guard star, and talked about the national team.

Guo Zhen asked: "If you join the national team to participate in next year's Olympics, what kind of results do you think the men's basketball team can achieve in the international arena? Have you ever paid attention to the national team's games?"

"Of course I have paid attention to it. The men's basketball team performed very well in the 1994 World Championships and dared to fight. I think the men's basketball team can at least qualify in the group and reach the quarterfinals." Yang Jian dared to predict the national team's results. He had no parallel world and reached the quarterfinals.

The Chinese men's basketball team in 1996 was called the "golden generation" and was full of talents.

Guo Zhen asked: "What advantages and weaknesses do you think the men's basketball team have? What can you bring to the team if you join?"

"I will definitely be a strong scoring point on the outside, and on the defensive end, I can also defend the opponent's outside offensive core. I think the weakness of the men's basketball team should be the point guard. If you encounter the opponent's pressing all the game, the point guard must smoothly lead the ball over the half. The men's basketball team has a point guard who is not afraid of pressing, and the record can achieve a historic breakthrough."

When facing an exclusive interview with domestic reporters, Yang Jian became very brave and said the truth.

The point guard has always been the weakness of the Chinese men's basketball team, which makes people helpless. Now only Li Xiaoyong is qualified, but Adijiang is not good at all. He is also determined to pass the ball when he is released for two meters.

During Yao Ming's peak period, if the point guard is stronger, the men's basketball team may compete for medals. In the 2008 Olympics, the Chinese men's basketball team played 40% of the Spanish team and finally lost.

Yang Jian feels that the men's basketball team is very promising, and with him as a cheater, he will have the chance to compete for the championship in the future. It is impossible now, the US team is too strong.

Guo Zhen was a little surprised. At the press conference, he thought Yang Jian was a very mature person, modest and low-key, unlike a 19-year-old young man. Now he has become high-profile. Saying so much can easily arouse the disgust of veterans of men's basketball. Chinese basketball and football circles are used to talking about qualifications. Yang Jian may have strength, but he has no qualifications at all.

Yang Jian is very clear about this, and he still has to say it. Because he needs exposure and needs the attention of fans. He knows how strong the Supersonics will be next season and knows that he will be trained by the focus.

He won the trust of the coaching staff with his outstanding performance, and Hesey Hawkins lost the opportunity to join. It is not surprising that he directly started in the regular season. When he competes with the stars, if he witnesses and changes his history and gains skill points, he can improve his strength.

In just one season, Yang Jian believes that he will have the strength of an All-Star. If he is too modest, how can domestic fans pay attention to him? How can Chinese TV stations broadcast his game?

He will first talk about the crazy words. Chinese fans, Basketball Association, and the media will remember him. As long as he plays well in the NBA, he will become a superstar in China after a season. Is qualifications important? If he is a star who matches Jordan in the finals, he will serve as substitutes for Hu Weidong and Zheng Wu when he goes to the national team?

If the coach dares to make such arrangements, the fans can criticize him and he will be dismissed directly. If he is mentally retarded, he is not qualified to be the head coach of the national team.

"If you return to China, who do you want to play with the most?" Guo Zhen asked.

Yang Jian thought for a while and said with a smile: "Can I say Joey Wong? I heard that she played well in basketball."

Guo Zhen laughed and said, "I mean basketball players."

"That's the national team player. When I return to China, I will definitely only play the national team game. If I return to China, I suspect you are cursing me." Yang Jian shrugged. "Don't blame me for being too real. The gap between domestic basketball and NBA is huge. I think if players have the opportunity to play NBA, the country should encourage them to come out."

Guo Zhen was speechless for a moment. A 19-year-old young man said this kind of thing a bit crazy, but he had the capital to be arrogant. He is a person who can play NBA and win the summer league MVP, so it is normal for him to look down on the Chinese basketball league.

CBA has not been officially established and is currently under discussion.

Not to mention that Yang Jian doesn't like him, Ma Jian doesn't even look down on domestic basketball. He would rather have a falling out with the Basketball Association than go to the United States to play NCAA. However, his performance in the summer league is incomparable to Yang Jian, and he probably can only return home next time.

After chatting for a while, Guo Zhen still asked Yang Jian about his life in China and wanted to know his past. Using the consistent standards of Chinese people to measure Yang Jian, he can be called "both civil and military", and his past will become a good focus.

But Yang Jian refused to mention the past, so Guo Zhen had to give up.

Fortunately, what Yang Jian said is very exciting, enough for the TV station to release an eye-catching program.
