When the news of Carter's retirement reached the United States, no one paid attention to the series between the Hawks and the Raptors.

The commentary team sent by the Imperial Sports Channel was also disappointed.

A basketball commentator who doesn't like to watch exciting games is not a good commentator.

However, in the first round of the playoffs that was "led" by a Chinese for the first time, Chaoting Sports Channel decided to broadcast the entire event live. This was something that had been established after breaking the Blue Association's blockade a few months ago.

Cheng Lanxin shortened the CBA schedule to increase the training time of the national team. This strategy that almost destroyed the good development of the CBA in the early 1990s has caused the General Administration of Sports to be dissatisfied. Looking at the development of the NBA, there are still some national leaders who are not so dim-sighted. It is said that Cheng Lanxin shortened the CBA schedule to increase the training time of the national team.

Lan Xin will be transferred from the position of director of the Blue Association after the World Championships this summer.

There is a high possibility that Wei Yuanli, a senior official of the Blue Association Party who actively promotes basketball exchanges between China and the United States, will take over.

But for domestic basketball, especially for Yao Ming, it doesn’t make much difference...

…

The older generation of domestic basketball players are really enthusiastic about domestic basketball, have a sense of belonging, and are always worried about domestic basketball.

No, on the early morning of the game against the Raptors, Liu Mang was taking the trouble to practice a step-up layup with a change of pace in front of a motionless cylinder. Coach Zhang and a new basketball commentator came to Phillips early in the morning.

The main purpose of preparing for the arena was to meet Liu Mang in advance and to do a small pre-game interview for the playoffs.

"Hi, Ace, good morning. Are you really working hard to play the evening game without saving any energy?" Director Zhang was very relaxed today. After learning about Carter's season reimbursement last night, he faced Liu Mang in the first round of the playoffs.

There is nothing to worry about in the game. Although the excitement of the game may be reduced, it is good to win.

"Hey, Coach Zhang, do you have any physical strength? I can play ten games in a row!" Liu Mang said with a smile.

"Haha, young people are full of energy. Let me introduce to you. This is the director of the sports department of Xinhua News Agency, Mr. Xu Jicheng. Mr. Xu will explain with me today." Director Zhang introduced domestic news people to Liu Mang, which was considered as a gift.

Let Liu Mang take the road.

Liu Mang smiled gratefully at Director Zhang. He knew that as information dissemination became more and more developed, the media's public opinion would affect more people. Now it is obvious that Lan Xie said that Wang Zhizhi was "treasonous" and spread it through the media.

, it really once made Wang Zhizhi bear such a reputation.

As long as they are not the kind of media that just makes up things, it is always good to have a good relationship with them.

Moreover, Xu Jicheng...

An "old" person who really misses me explained that before Liu Mang traveled through time, Xu Jicheng must have been 60 years old. Now he is only in his early forties, in his prime, and his appearance is much better than in the impression.

But there is nothing wrong with being an old commentator. Xu Jicheng, who was born in 1960, started commentating on NBA-related games after commentating on the Olympic Games that the Dream Team participated in in 1992.

However, I didn't expect that the commentator on the court, who made basketball skills and tactics interesting, was actually a senior leader of Xinhua News Agency. Previously, I only knew that he was one of the members of the Basketball Association.

"Your teacher Xu, I have admired you for a long time. Your explanations are rigorous and interesting. I liked your explanations every time before I came to the United States." Liu Mang complimented. Although he had not seen Xu Jicheng's explanations when he was young, he still liked them.

Anyway, even if you try to fool the other party, you won’t know whether it’s true or false.

With a generous and cheerful personality, he speaks confidently but without lack of humility. Xu Jicheng has a very good impression of Liu Mang: "Hello, I can also call you Ace. I heard that you don't like others to call you by your name, haha, maybe in the future.

We need to interact frequently and take good care of him."

"Don't dare, don't dare..."

Liu Mang always dislikes the fact that a certain pair of cousins ​​are familiar with each other. In fact, this is related to the fact that he can easily get acquainted with others. Everything is relative. If his personality is similar to that of someone who does not want to be named, he will be 3 out of 21.

, the No. 24 player who hit 15 irons in a row in the second half and still rushed to shoot the final buzzer-beater was so cold, and had a personality that didn't even go to his teammates' weddings... It seemed like the younger brother of a certain pair of cousins ​​still had a good relationship with him.

After the polite exchanges, Director Zhang and Xu Jicheng conducted a simple pre-game interview with Liu Mang, and the camera was set up.

"Ace, today is your first time participating in the NBA playoffs. What are your thoughts and what do you want to say to the fans in China who support you?" With a real reporter, of course Xu Jicheng came to visit.

Which style should you use to answer? Liu Mang should feel more natural and use his normal tone to answer! He doesn't expect to be very popular. If you have that kind of thing, you can have it. If you don't have it, forget it. Don't set up anyone randomly.

If it collapses then it will be troublesome.

"Although I haven't seen pig running, I have eaten pork," Liu Mang said with a smile. "We are number one in the Eastern Conference and the best team in the Eastern Conference. We have three All-Stars and the best small forward.

, and the best sixth man, we have enough confidence, of course, I also have confidence, so I don’t have too much nervousness or anxiety, I hope to play a wonderful game for the fans, of course, the winner in the end

It's us."

This is really... very confident! Xu Jicheng has heard that Liu Mang is confident, but this face-to-face feeling is really different from that of domestic players! When he interviewed Yao Ming before, all Xu Jicheng heard were modest words, which of course is understandable.

I haven't entered the NBA yet, so I naturally have to be a little more modest, even though I already had an unshakable position as the No. 1 pick when I announced my intention to run for the draft at the beginning of the season.

Jay Williams, the current top college student in the United States, later became the first player since Kareem Abdul-Jabbar to win the NCAA scoring title, Naismith and Wooden awards, and MOP in the Final Four at the same time. Even if he leads the team

Duke University won the NCAA championship and the Final Four MOP in April, and dominated the rankings of all college students in the United States. However, it was only the second favorite for the No. 1 pick, and it did not shake Yao Ming's status as the No. 1 pick.

It's all for Yao Ming. Of course, it won't be a loss if he gets the second overall pick.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Yao Ming’s overly humble character actually worries the older generation in China. You must know that when Director Zhang faced the world’s top teams in the World Championships,

Don’t be timid, just do whatever you want.

He is confident and does not feel proud, but is confident in his strength. It is difficult not to have a good impression of this kind of person.

The main reason is that Director Zhang introduced Liu Mang in advance and gave Xu Jicheng a good impression. After seeing him, the impression became even better.

"Ace, your description is very interesting. I hope you can continue to be as strong as the regular season in the playoffs," Xu Jicheng said with a smile, "Then introduce your teammates to us. Domestic fans don't think much of many players of the Eagles.

familiar."

There are even photos! This is really well prepared.

Liu Mang took photos of his teammates and started introducing Rahim.

"Our best player should be Sharif, Sharif Rahim. I think he is the best small forward in the league. His offensive skills transcend the position he plays. He can play from the third to the fifth position and defend.

Duanye is far stronger than imagined."

"At center is our big man Theo Ratliff, the best defensive player in the league."

"When it comes to pitchers alone, I'm probably the best in the league, maybe... Jason Terry, he may be the second pitcher on our team? You can tell this to him when you interview him..."

There is a big difference between the transliteration and English pronunciation of some players' names, such as Kobe Bryant and LeBron James. The English pronunciation and transliteration are very different. Before Kobe gave Saberin's lecture, he even

I don’t know how my Chinese name is pronounced like that.

But like Jason and Sharif, there is not much difference between the transliteration and the English pronunciation, except that the tone has changed slightly and there is no continuous reading.

When Liu Mang mentioned Jason Terry, Jason Terry's ears that were much smaller than ordinary people moved...

Jason Terry starts a wave of interviews!

…

Liu Mang was introducing his teammates one by one, when suddenly two people appeared from behind Liu Mang.

"Sharif, I thought I heard someone say our names just now. I wonder if I heard it correctly?"

"Yeah, I heard it too."

"It seems to be Ace's voice. Do you think he said anything bad about us?"

"I think there may be, he often says bad things about us."

"Do you think we should remind him to be careful or he will be beaten again?"

"You may have!"

"...That's enough for you two! This is my interview!" Liu Mang angrily pushed away the two English-speaking guys behind him who were rubbing the camera.

Enough!

There are still few interviews with foreign players, because they usually interview super-popular superstars, such as Jordan, Tracy McGrady, Kobe, Iverson, etc., and have not been exposed to these players who are in the middle and upper reaches of the NBA but not at the top of the popularity scale.

Superstars already have a large management team. What they say and how they behave in front of the media have already been planned except when they are angry.

So Raheem and Jason Terry shamelessly came to interview, leaving Xu Jicheng and Director Zhang stunned for a while. Is there such an operation?

Of course, Jason Terry and Raheem spoke loudly. Xu Jicheng and Director Zhang heard clearly what they were saying. They looked at each other and didn't know what to say. Anyway, the team atmosphere seemed to be good. Before

It also tainted the Nets.

"Ace, wait a minute!" Xu Jicheng thought that we might as well interview together. Anyway, he would have to conduct exclusive interviews with each of Liu Mang's teammates soon. Of course, the young reporters from the commentary team would go to the role players, but the five Eagles plus Liu Mang still

There were six interviews for the two of them, middle-aged and elderly people, and one less would be one.

The two people who were doing the interview didn't know that they were supposed to be interviewed alone, but the team's press officer hadn't had time to notify them because Liu Mang's interview was the longest and they were still preparing a manuscript for them.

"Ace, please introduce your two teammates to us. Domestic fans may not be familiar with them yet."

When Xu Jicheng used English this time, Jason Terry and Raheem's eyes lit up! Dude is going to be famous in China!
