0030: [Lightning Storm]
There are three levels of fame.
When Bruce Lee scored an unexpected victory on the Southern California campus, he got some scouts' attention.
When he defeated the arrogant and domineering University of Oregon at home, which was aiming to counterattack and enter the championship, his name, fueled by Stanford students, quickly occupied a certain market on the Internet. And... he also attracted the attention of NBA teams.
And now, when he won the University of Washington and led his legendary story all the way to the championship, the discussion about him on the Internet immediately became overwhelming, and Bruce Lee's name changed from a Stanford hero to a Stanford legend.
It took Coach Jamie Lin about fifteen minutes to get Bruce out of the huddle, and then they and Scott were interviewed by the TV station.
Jamie Lin and Li Zhen are both very smart and decent Chinese people. Faced with the miracles they have created, they still respond modestly. They are so restrained and humble... This is deeply loved by reporters and TV audiences. People really
I'm used to people who talk too much, and everyone likes people who remain sober in the face of victory.
But...Scott is obviously not this kind of person.
He was quite arrogant when facing the camera: "When I add Bruce, we are the Nash and Stoudemire of the NCAA. We are invincible. And there is Demilin, who is D'Antoni. Believe me, no one in the NCAA knows better than him.
Run and gun..."
Forehead….
When he said this, Li Zhen quickly tugged at the corner of his clothes to signal him to stop talking.
This subtle action was accurately captured by the camera, and Jerry West in the live broadcast room smiled when he saw it. He likes children with high emotional intelligence. Such guys will become the glue in the locker room rather than a thorn in the locker room atmosphere.
.
When playing in the NBA, emotional intelligence is very important. Many players actually play very well and can definitely get higher and longer contracts. However, because of their prickly personalities, many teams worry that the risk will automatically lower the price, making them invisible.
Earn a lot of money: like Artest, Bunch Wells, etc.
However, Scott had no intention of stopping.
He is a typical black man. They act completely according to their emotions. When they get high, they say everything: "Honestly, we are stronger than before. I know we are missing TJ Walton and Nicholas, but this does not
It does not affect us becoming a better team, we found Bruce Lee, his talent is enough to replace everything. And Jamie Lin, his coaching ability...ah!!"
Scott screamed.
Jerry West in the studio and the audience in front of the TV clearly saw Li Zhen pinch Scott's waist hard.
This made Jerry West chuckle, and his appreciation for Bruce Lee increased a bit.
The point guard is the brains of the team. If the point guard does not have high enough emotional intelligence, it will be difficult for him to lead the team system well.
Therefore, West decided to wait until the championship came and arranged for scouts to go to the Stanford campus to learn about Bruce Lee's specific physical test data. If it was determined that there was still room for growth, he was willing to give this kid a late second-round pick. Anyway,
, the draft pick at the end of the second round is not valuable, and no other team will compete with it. It is just like betting on baccarat.
Li Zhen obviously didn't know that he had been favored by the general manager of Memphis. He ended the slightly embarrassing interview in a hurry.
Then, he led Scott to the locker room.
And you kept reminding Scott and Jonny that your unscrupulous talk will make Coach McHaney feel uncomfortable, as well as TJ Walton and Nicholas, who were named by you, they will all think that you are doing it on purpose.
offend them.
But Scott refused to give in. He repeatedly emphasized: "What I said is the truth, why not say it like that?"
He is so confident.
Li Zhen didn't know what to say.
This is a cultural difference. Scott likes to express his feelings directly. He can say whatever he thinks, regardless of the consequences. The Chinese are relatively tactful and rarely speak harsh words. Of course, they also don’t lie.
Most of them said appropriate things.
This is not hypocrisy. It is to reduce unnecessary trouble and reduce communication costs.
But, even so.
Coach McHaney was still unhappy about this, and he watched the whole thing on TV.
He was not happy because of Bruce's continuous stops, he was just annoyed with Scott. And he was extremely worried that he was losing his authority in the locker room. Scott has now said this publicly, and other players have not
Do you think Jamie Lin is better than yourself?
No head coach can tolerate an assistant coach who is better than himself.
Therefore, he was planning in his mind...how he could return to the team as the returning king.
Soon, he received a call from TJ Wharton.
Walton said that he can return in the next game. If the team is lucky enough to enter the top 32, he will definitely lead the team to a higher level with a new attitude.
This made McHaney ecstatic.
With core favorite TJ Walton on the field, the odds of winning are indeed much higher. If I can go even higher based on my current foundation, it will definitely be the most glorious career move.
He figured it out and became happy.
After all, picking other people's peaches is always a happy thing.
Neither Li Zhen nor Jamie Lin thought that coach McHaney and TJ Walton were waiting to pick their peaches. They are now anxiously waiting for the first opponent list of March Madness to be released.
At the same time, reporter Mr. Richmond was leaning on the back of the chair of the 9-hand Toyota Camry, using his notebook to extract the highlights from the DVD, and uploading them to YouTube using a weak att signal.
He created a video column for Li Zhen. The name is: Stanford's Little Lightning.
There are already many video clips in it, including the Jordan-style buzzer beater against Oregon and several wonderful assist shots.
A week ago, he would never have imagined that his life would be so closely connected with the Chinese defender.
After sending the video, he started writing for Bruce again.
This time, the time period when he wrote the article will start ten days ago. He started with 'Coach McHaney announced that he will no longer register Bruce Lee for the next season', and then introduced Bruce Lee, the amazingly talented protagonist, and then
Then write how he defeated the arrogance in Southern California, how he defended the glory at home, and created an epic legend in Washington.
His writing style is very vivid and has a strong sense of substitution.
Needless to say, this is another article that has sparked discussion.
Richmond has invisibly become an important promoter of the upcoming "Lightning Storm".
