After the press conference, Li Ang was about to leave the arena.

At this time, Old Karl stopped Li Ang: "Li, there is a reporter here who wants to interview you!"

Li Ang was a little surprised. With his current position as a celebrity, a reporter came to interview him?

It's an exaggeration. It's an exaggeration. I'll be proud of you.

As a result, Li Ang turned his head and saw an Asian face.

Take another closer look.

Isn’t this Su Junyang!

"Hello Li Ang, I am Su Junyang, a reporter from China Sports News." Su Junyang looked at Li Ang with curious eyes, and then went up to shake hands with him.

"Hello, Teacher Su, I really didn't expect to see you here."

"you know me?"

"Of course I know. You were the one who interviewed the 1997 Cleveland All-Stars. The first live broadcast of the NBA Finals in China, and you were one of the commentators.

You are a pioneer in the country when it comes to NBA reporting."

Li Ang's rainbow fart made Su Junyang feel comfortable.

At the same time, I thought to myself, this guy is nice, polite, and good at talking!

He must be a good boy!

Oakley: That's right. After all, his master is also a good man.

"First of all, congratulations to you. Next, you can play in the NCAA Division I league. I also wish you success in the NCAA and impact the NBA!

Li Ang, I would like to delay your time for about half an hour to conduct an exclusive interview with you. See if you are free.

Domestic fans, it’s time to get to know talented young people like you!"

There is no reason to refuse a reporter from his hometown.

After that, Su Junyang conducted a comprehensive interview with Li Ang in the school basketball gym.

Li Ang's decent conversation also left a very deep impression on Su Junyang.

After all, most athletes in China now stumble when speaking when facing reporters.

Don't talk about Chairman Yao. Chairman Yao grew up in age, and was led astray by the crooks of the NBA, so he gradually became both humorous and confident.

Didn’t you see that when Chairman Yao was young, his eyes would be so nervous and erratic when being interviewed by reporters?

As for Li Ang, he is not only polite, but also occasionally jokes, and he doesn't speak like a child at all, showing confidence in his speech.

Boxing people generally have good mental qualities.

Throw you into a sealed octagonal cage, with only you and a ferocious strong man inside.

The two of you have to fight one-on-one with fists and to the flesh without any outside help. Not everyone can bear this kind of oppression.

He is not afraid of facing burly men, he is not afraid of girls practicing track and field, and facing reporters one-on-one is child's play for Li Ang.

After learning that Li Ang was actually a top student, Su Junyang's eyes lit up.

People who can flourish in both culture and sports are even rarer in China.

In Su Junyang's view, this Li Ang was too perfect to be true.

Well, that's because Su Junyang didn't understand Li Ang thoroughly.

If he goes to New York to interview a player named Tai Yong, it will probably subvert his understanding of Li Ang.

After returning, Su Junyang felt that he had gained a lot.

He will immediately write an article introducing Li Ang to introduce to domestic fans this inspiring young man who has been alone abroad and is now admitted to an NCAA Division I school!

A few days later, the basketball section of "China Sports News" devoted an entire page to writing about a Chinese player that no one knew, but who seemed to be very good.

One of the passages reads:

"Li Ang usually works very hard at school, training during the day and studying at night. In the eyes of the teacher, he is a good student with both good character and academic performance. In the eyes of the coach, he is a good player with outstanding abilities.

In the eyes of his teammates and classmates, Li Ang is an amiable person."

In this report, Li Ang is simply a role model for today's youth.

Li Ang also received a copy of the newspaper sent to him by Su Junyang. After seeing the report about him, Li Ang smiled happily.

Finally someone is willing to believe that I am a serious person~

In the following days, although the game is over, Li Ang still has to complete his studies at school.

After all, this semester doesn't end until May, and it's not time to completely let yourself go.

On the other side, the situation in the NBA has also become tense.

Things are tense here, and not just because the playoffs are approaching.

It's also because the league's labor and management still haven't reached an agreement.

If the two sides cannot compromise before July, league president Stern will have to declare a suspension of the league.

Boss Si has been the leader of the two recently. Although the reason why the two parties cannot reach an agreement is very complicated, in fact, it is still about money.

The asking prices of the stars are getting higher and higher. Nowadays, the salary of the players can no longer be described in terms of a few cents, but has to be described in terms of more than a dozen cents.

The bosses said they couldn't stand it, but the players were not satisfied with the current situation. Jordan, who earned 30 million a year, even sarcastically mocked the troubled bosses: "If you can't afford it, you can choose to sell the team."

These are the sources of contradictions.

To solve the problem at its source, Stern must expand the NBA's territory and increase revenue.

At present, it is difficult for the alliance to break even just by relying on the domestic market of the United States.

This is why Stern is so vigorously promoting the process of globalization.

He needs to explore the international market, and the alliance has achieved some results so far.

The league now not only has two teams overseas, but more and more European players are coming to the league to play. Players like Sabonis have become people's favorites in Portland.

But these are not enough, the process of globalization must be accelerated!

After all, Sabonis has passed his peak. Stern dreams of seeing a popular international player appear in his sights...

In early May, schools were on holiday and the NBA playoffs were in full swing.

Big Ben invited Li Ang to come find him when he had nothing to do during the holidays. In addition to practicing football together during the day, the two could also do some exciting things together at night.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Well, as an NBA player himself, Ben still can only rely on watching TV in the playoffs.

It’s also really miserable.

Speaking of which, in Ben's second season, he finally got relatively stable playing time, averaging 16.8 minutes per game, scoring 3.1 points, 4.8 rebounds and 1.1 blocks per game.

3.1 points, this is the highest score in my career!

The free throw shooting rate is 35.7%, which is a great improvement compared to last season!

My free throw shooting percentage has already exceeded teammate Webber's three-point shooting percentage. What else do you want?

The most important thing is that Ben has not missed a single free throw this season!

That's it, you dare to say that Ben didn't shoot? This is already amazing, right?

Not everyone is like a big beeping bird who can hit free throws in the face of a row of Seqin posters held up by fans.

Big Ben firmly believes that he can definitely make some achievements in shooting!

Well, of these two Oakley disciples, one thinks he is a very accurate shot, and the other thinks he is a handsome triple threat.

They are indeed a pair of sleeping dragon and phoenix chicks.

Without thinking, Li Ang agreed to make a date and stay with my brother. If nothing happened, he could make a bet with him or something to supplement the family income.

Senior brother, this is just for cheating~

In this way, Li Ang started a life of crazy physical fights during the day and watching exciting videos together at night.

Such days are very fulfilling, but the nutrition is a little bit behind.

But neither of them complained because their master Oakley set a good example for them in the playoffs.

In the 1998 playoffs, the Knicks ranked seventh and met their archrival Heat in the first round.

In the 1990s, the Knicks and Heat were extremely jealous when they met.

In Li Ang's previous life, many people only remember the miracle of the New York Gang's counterattack from eighth place to the finals in 1999. They only remember that winning is not terrible, and Ewing is embarrassed by missing someone.

But in fact, the Knicks had already previewed it once in 1998.

They performed the Black Seven Miracles this year!

Facing the enemy Heat in the first round, the entire Knicks team worked hard, and Oakley also waved his iron elbow crazily on the court. At the age of 35, he still averaged 9.4 rebounds per game.

Burn your last glory with all your strength.

The most important thing is that he can still subdue Mourning with one move during the fight, forcing Van Gundy to hug Mourning's thigh.
