Chapter 18: Chen Mo's Support
When Chen Mo appeared on the sidelines, he could even hear the fans shouting at him.
Chen Mo smiled and waved his hand, and next to him, a middle-aged man was holding a microphone to prepare for an interview.
That's right, Chen Mo already has the opportunity to accept an interview, and because there are not many media in the warm-up match, the media will definitely block him when the official competition begins.
"Chan, I'm glad to see a wonderful performance from you."
"Thanks."
"Let's talk about UCLA first. What do you think the team's goal this year?"
"We don't have a certain goal, we just want to keep moving forward."
Of course there are goals. As long as you play the game, who doesn’t want to win the game?
However, UCLA is not favored now. After all, last year, it only entered the top 32.
In this case, if you insist on pointing to the championship directly, you will only be treated as a joke.
Most of the talk about the UCLA Bruins, there are comments about Coach Steve, and Capono's situation...
"Capono will definitely participate in the draft this year, what about you?"
"You know, there isn't my name on the draft prediction yet, so I'm not sure."
"I think you will definitely have your name in the next draft prediction."
"Hope so!"
To put it bluntly, Chen Mo has not really attracted the attention of scouts.
What's more, the NCAA this season has just begun, and he doesn't need to worry at all.
"Can you talk about Yao Ming?"
It was a good idea, but after a change of voice, I wanted to talk about Yao Ming again.
Because in yesterday's game, Yao Ming's performance was still bad, he only scored 2 points on 1 of 5 shots, but fortunately he scored 7 rebounds.
However, as the No. 1 pick, this obviously does not meet the expectations of fans and the entire NBA for him.
Now, some people have already begun to label him as the top scorer.
There is no way. To say that there is no prejudice to foreign players, especially Yao Ming, who has taken away the No. 1 pick, is definitely a fraud.
The only good news is that the reporter did not ask in a hurry, but asked Chen Mo in advance.
"OK, of course no problem."
After all, Yao Ming is the top scorer and has a high attention. This is a good thing for Chen Mo.
What's more, he knew that Yao Ming would succeed, and that this day would not be too far away. As a compatriot, he naturally had to support Yao Dayao.
"Everyone is saying that Yao Ming is the top scorer in parallel, what do you think?"
"Of course not, you know, he came to the United States very late, and he just hasn't adapted to the NBA yet."
"But everyone says so."
"That's because they haven't watched Yao Ming's game, otherwise they wouldn't have had such an idea. As for some people, they are just creating topics."
"You mean Charles Barkley?"
"No, I'm not referring to a specific one, I'm just talking about a topic that everyone needs to discuss."
"Then do you think Charles Barkley's bet will lose or win?"
"He will definitely lose, it won't even take too long. I think he will definitely see you this month."
"Oh, do you believe Yao Ming so much?"
"Of course, in fact, I've watched Yao Ming's game. If you watch it, you'll have the same idea as me."
"Yeah?"
"It must be like this. Actually, I'm more curious about another thing now."
"What's up?"
"If Charles Barkley loses, will Kenny Smith take off his pants in the live room?"
Speaking of this, both of them couldn't help laughing. Maybe who would be more unlucky about this matter.
On TNT TV, Barkley always gives people the feeling of keeping fire, while Kenny Smith is very cunning because he has contributed to every topic.
Sure enough, when this report appeared, it attracted a lot of attention.
Because UCLA seems to have a promising rise, several Los Angeles media have reprinted this article.
However, the discussion was obviously wrong, and everyone wanted to know whether Kenny Smith would take off his pants in the live broadcast room and let Barkley kiss.
Even Barkley said excitedly during the live broadcast. Although he really wanted to see Kenny take off his pants, he would rather let me die if he wanted me to kiss his butt!
It’s a pity that the more you resist and the more uncomfortable you feel, the more excited the fans will be.
"Good news, Yao, your compatriot has expressed support for you!"
Early the next morning, Bill Duffy walked in with some joy, but unfortunately, Yao's team was still dead.
Last night, Yao Ming performed well and got 24 minutes of playing time, and the data was pretty good.
8 points, 4 rebounds and 1 block, compared to the disastrous performance in the previous few games, this game is not bad.
However, this result is still disappointing. Not only the fans are disappointed, but Yao Ming is even more disappointed.
Only Yao Ming himself and the entire Yao team understand how much he has paid to play in the NBA.
Zhang Weiping was also a national player in the past and even won the scoring champion of the World Championships. After retiring, he gave an explanation.
As early as a few years ago, he came to the United States to report on the NBA news. He is considered to be a person who has been in contact with the NBA in China for the early days.
Just now, Yao Ming joins the NBA as the No. 1 pick, which is naturally a big concern in China, and CCTV is no exception.
Zhang Weiping moved from Los Angeles to Houston, and in addition to reporting on the NBA, he also had to report on Yao Ming's news.
In order to facilitate the work of Yao's team, Yao Ming bought a house specially, and Zhang Weiping had no place to live for the time being, so he came here.
Seeing that everyone was in a lack of interest, it was obvious that they were not on the same channel as Bill Duffy, Zhang Weiping hurriedly said.
"Mr. Bill, what's going on?"
"It's Chen, is it this name? He is a star player at UCLA. He expressed his support for you in an interview last night."
“Chan?UCLA?”
Although Yao Ming's personality is very optimistic, he is also under a lot of pressure. Now he hears that someone in the United States supports him, he is naturally a little surprised.
"Yes, it's Chen. This year's UCLA looks like there's a chance..."
After Bill Duffy explained carefully, the few people realized that a Chinese compatriot who played in the United States supported Yao Ming.
"Chen Mo? Is it a college student league in the United States?"
After all, Zhang Weiping reported on the NBA in the United States, so he was naturally very clear about the situation in the American basketball world.
"NCAA is the highest level basketball game in the United States except the NBA.
Although it's just a college league, fans' enthusiasm for the NCAA is no worse than that of the NBA.
The NCAA finals circle was in March. At that time, when encountering NCAA games, even the NBA would give way, and the whole month was called March Crazy.”
"So exaggerated?"
Zhang Benji, the leader of Yao Team, was a little surprised. It was not just him, but everyone else.
“It’s just so exaggerated, except for those talented high school students who skipped college.
NBA stars basically come from the NCAA, including Jordan and O'Neal, who were once NCAA stars.
Although it is only a college student league, NCAA stars are no worse than some NBA stars.
