Yang Zhengyao is the chief reporter stationed in Houston for CCTV Sports Channel. He has been responsible for tracking and reporting Yao Huang's news.

Just the day before yesterday, he came to Los Angeles with the Houston Rockets.

The leaders attach great importance to the game between the Rockets and the Lakers because... Yao Shuan, Tracy McGrady, and Kobe Bryant are the three hottest NBA superstars in the country. Every time they play, there will be a viewership climax.

However, the game ended hastily. Yao Shuan was injured and left the game in the first quarter, and McGrady also left the third game with back spasms.

The Rockets' disastrous defeat made domestic fans quite unhappy, and even the chief reporter heard a lot of gossip. Moreover, with Yao Shuan out for the next half month, there was not that much news sent to the country. This is related to performance.

ah!

Just then.

Emperor Tian pays off his conscientious people.

When he was tossing and turning in the hotel in Los Angeles worrying about the next news, the California Chinese Channel actually saw a Chinese face: This player named Bruce Lee was attacking the city one after another in the most important NCAA league in the United States.

He has created a miracle and has now led his team to the Sweet Sixteen. This is an unprecedented achievement.

Chinese channels boasted him as a yellow superhero.

This aroused his infinite curiosity.

He quickly followed Li Zhen's news when all the information was spread out in front of him.

He was shocked: he was born in a family of professors. He was admitted to Harvard University, the world's top university, when he was only 16 years old, and then transferred to Stanford to pursue his basketball dream. After sitting on the bench for two years and being publicly given up by the head coach, he seized the last opportunity to compete with

Chinese assistant coach Jamie Lin teamed up to create the greatest counterattack in NCAA history, and it is still going on.

The most important thing is that even Michael Jordan stood by him and endorsed him, saying that he will definitely have a place in the NBA in the future, and also said that he is most like his younger self.

American fans are discussing him every day now, and his popularity has exceeded that of some NBA superstars.

No, we must let domestic fans know... We not only have a super center who is conquering the United States, but also a young guard who is rising in the American basketball world.

As a full-fledged patriot, Yang Zhengyao couldn't stand the arguments of some Yao Hei and some Muyang dogs in China. They always said that the Chinese were not good enough, and that Yao Shuan only relied on his height, and even worse.

, and also said that Yao Shuan would not be able to gain a foothold in the NBA if it were not for the Chinese market. These self-deprecating words made Yang Zhengyao very angry.

Therefore, he quickly reported to domestic leaders and applied for an interview opportunity with Stanford University.

The leaders agreed to the interview, but... still had some doubts.

However, this doubt was dispelled when Yang Zhengyao met Li Zhen for the first time.

At that time, Li Zhen, who was soaked with sweat, took the initiative to walk over with a bright smile on his handsome face, and then said: "Hello!"

This shocked Yang Zhengyao, and he subconsciously said: "Can you speak Chinese?"

"I also know a little bit of Hangzhou dialect and Minnan dialect." Li Zhen smiled and said in dialect: "My father is from Zhejiang and my mother is from Fujian."

Forehead….

This surprised Yang Zhengyao even more. He turned around and found that the camera was already working.

"Actually, I am Chinese. Although I was born in the United States, I gave up my American citizenship last year when I was eighteen years old." Li Zhen told Yang Zhengyao very frankly.

When Yang Zhengyao heard this, he was greatly surprised.

The biggest concern he and his leaders have is actually the issue of national identity. They are worried that they are facing a banana man with yellow skin and white heart.

However, Li Zhen spoke fluent Mandarin, and at the same time spoke Hangzhou dialect and Minnan dialect so standardly. He is obviously an authentic Chinese. And... He also said that he voluntarily gave up his American citizenship last year, and this report was sent back

, will definitely arouse heated discussion!

How wonderful!

In Yang Zhengyao's mind, he even began to dream about the Beijing Olympics the year after next, when Yao Huang and Li Zhen would stand on the court at the same time and play for the country.

After a while, Jamie Lin also came over.

Jamie Lin can also speak some Chinese. He is a third-generation Chinese who grew up in San Francisco. Therefore, he is always particularly cordial when facing reporters from China.

Then, it was natural to talk about the NCAA miracle started by two Chinese. He asked Jamie Lin: "From being unknown to now being a sensation in the United States, what is your biggest feeling?"

"In front of you, I don't want to say those high-sounding words. I must frankly say that this is very difficult. Whether it is me or Li Zhen, we have to work harder than others. Here, whether we are white or black

, they do not recognize yellow-skinned basketball workers and have a natural contempt for them. Even if you work twice as hard, it is still difficult to get recognition."

"And the reason why we are here is because our efforts far exceed those of others. Since taking over the game, I have never slept more than 5 hours of sleep on a day. And Li Zhen, it is difficult for you to see him during the day

His jersey is dry. He's been sweating, he's been training."

Jamie Lin only vents his inner anguish when speaking Chinese.

At this time, Li Zhen smiled. He patted Jamie Lin on the shoulder, and then said to Yang Zhengyao: "Turn this section off and don't broadcast it. There is no need to exaggerate these things."

Li is really a cheerful person.

Although along the way, he received critical looks and ostracism that is unimaginable to ordinary people. But... this is all in the past. Those who once said that he can't do this and that can't be done now may be hiding in the corner of a certain room and banging hard.

Keyboard, saying something like "I taught him a lesson at 11:00 when I was in seventh grade".

Li Zhen is a forward-looking person.

He likes to knock down those who despise him and then clench his fists to reach higher heights.

Yang Zhengyao began to ask other questions, such as asking Li Zhen how he felt when he scored the winning goal against the University of Oregon.

When Michael Jordan took the initiative to shake hands and said those words, what were you thinking deep down?

And... do you think this team will continue to do wonders moving forward? Can it beat UCLa?

These are all standardized questions, very much in the style of CCTV.

And Li Zhen is also stable. As a young genius who can be admitted to Harvard University, although he is not good at speaking in public, he is more than enough to deal with these elementary problems.

The interview was very pleasant.

Everyone is happy.

For Yang Zhengyao, he can't wait to send this video back to China. He believes that this Chinese defender who has set off a wave of attention from American fans will definitely set off an even greater wave of public opinion in China.

Moreover, if he can successfully enter the NBA next, then... he may even become a symbol of Chinese basketball on par with Yao Huang.

The influence may be even greater.

After all, Yao Huang is a super center. His height and playing style destined him to be unable to mingle with the widest range of fans: few children will imitate Yao Huang's playing style on the wild court. Everyone likes Kobe and everyone likes him.

Tracy McGrady, everyone likes Iverson.

This is nature.

"I'm very optimistic about you! Come on!"

After the interview, Yang Zhengyao did not forget to hand over his business card. He also expressed his wish to have dinner with Li Zhen. However, Li Zhen was too busy training. During their interview, Nick Yang barged in more than once.

Camera, using gestures to urge Li Zhen to hurry over and challenge him.

The star player of the University of Southern California is very expressive. He did not understand Chinese and made the "black question mark" expression with raised eyebrows many times in front of the camera, which was very interesting.
