"Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing his debut, and he will be awarded 5 honor points!"
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for winning the game, and you will be awarded 4 honor points!"
As soon as Chen Yan entered the shower room, the system prompt sounded.
I got 9 honor points in the first game. It is indeed much faster to earn points in the NBA than in the NCAA!
This is just the beginning. You must know that the NBA has 82 regular season games in a season. After the regular season is over, there will be playoffs...
After rinsing his body, Chen Yan walked out of the bathroom.
Before he could add anything, he was surrounded by a group of reporters.
Compared with other leagues, the NBA locker room is more transparent. Opening it to reporters after the game is one of the NBA locker room cultures.
But obviously Chen Yan has not adapted to this culture, because he came out wrapped in a bath towel...
Stoudemire and several teammates laughed wildly when they saw this scene.
Chen Yan is very mature on the court, but he is still a complete rookie off the court.
He still has a lot to learn...
Chen Yan spread his hands and sat in his seat to be interviewed by reporters. He could only try to be as generous as possible, otherwise it would be even more embarrassing.
"Chen! Congratulations on your perfect debut. What do you think is the biggest difference between NBA and NCAA?"
"The biggest difference is... I have never experienced being interviewed by so many reporters while wrapped in a bath towel in the NCAA."
"Hahahaha!" After Chen Yan said this, all the reporters around him laughed.
The first impression Chen Yan gave reporters was that of humor. Journalists are human beings, so they naturally like to interact with players who speak in a relaxed and humorous manner.
"3055, this is definitely one of the best debuts in NBA history. How did you do it?"
"Because I have a group of reliable teammates who are very capable and very selfless. They constantly provided me with shells and opened up offensive space for me during the game. Without them, my debut would not have gone so smoothly."
Chen Yan will not take credit for himself, he is still waiting for his teammates to continue passing the ball to him!
The teammates listened happily. This rookie has indeed high emotional intelligence. Dior even brought Chen Yan a cup of cappuccino directly. The camera recorded this scene. The scene was a bit funny.
In addition, Chen Yan didn’t forget to mention D’Antoni:
"The coach's tactical arrangements are also crucial. He gives me more freedom on the offensive end and creates many opportunities for me to quickly get down and directly attack the basket!"
"Chen, what do you want to say to the Suns fans? They were extremely enthusiastic tonight, and many fans even shouted your name when you came off the court!"
"Thank you to the fans for their support. I know they have been waiting for my debut for a long time, but I believe all the fans' wait will be worth it."
"Are you satisfied with your debut performance tonight?"
"This is my first game in the NBA. The main thing is to experience the feeling of an NBA game."
reporter:???
Do you use 3055 to experience the feeling of the game?
Chen Yan pretends to be the toughest pussy in the most humble tone.
"Chen! Has anyone ever said that your muscle lines are perfect?"
A red-haired female reporter from Fox Sports asked while holding up the microphone with a smile on her face.
This female reporter was very close and did not shy away from suspicion. The idea of "men and women not being intimate" is "extremely unprofessional" in the locker room. Female reporters must have a "big heart" at this time.
Although the female reporter's questions were very tricky, Chen Yan still answered her questions.
Chen Yan tried his best to answer every reporter's question. It doesn't hurt to have a good relationship with the media. Many NBA honors are directly voted for by the media, such as MVP.
If Kobe's relationship with the media was not so tense during the 2005-06 season, he would have had a chance to win the regular season MVP.
Moreover, media reports can directly affect a player's image, and off-field news can sometimes indirectly affect a player's game status.
In the Suns locker room, other players were inevitably asked about Chen Yan's debut.
Naturally, his teammates boasted about Chen Yan. Hill faced the camera with a gentlemanly smile: "I have seen the debut of many rookies, but he is undoubtedly the best one."
"This guy's debut was the strongest debut, even better than Iverson's! Don't talk to me about Chamberlain and Big O Robertson, they are all figures from ancient times!"
Stoudemire dared to say it, and it felt a bit unobtrusive, but what he said was not unreasonable. There is indeed a big difference between modern basketball and ancient basketball.
It is undeniable that Chamberlain and Big O are both great figures, but their data at that time was indeed a bit watery...
Chen Yan's debut also triggered heated discussions among many players in the league.
Toyota Center Houston.
After the game, McGrady opened his laptop and browsed the news:
"Yao, this guy named Chen Yan is your little brother? He is indeed different."
"How many points did he score tonight?"
The game had just ended, and Dayao hadn't had time to pay attention to Chen Yan's performance.
"31 points."
"How much?" Dayao looked a little unbelievable. He was also a rookie and understood how difficult it is for a rookie to make 30 in his first appearance.
"31 points, 5 rebounds and 5 steals." McGrady read out Chen Yan's detailed data.
Forget 31 points, there are still 5 rebounds and 5 steals. Is it so scary?
Dayao smiled: "It seems that tonight's headline will be booked by him."
Staples Center.
The Lakers beat the Bobcats in the opening game. Kobe scored 29 points and had 7 assists in this game. He seemed to have a good chemistry with Garnett.
"He had 31 points and five steals? Are you kidding me? Are you serious?"
Kobe learned about Chen Yan's debut statistics from reporters during the post-game interview.
After repeated confirmations, Kobe also showed an expression of disbelief.
"Kobe, can you comment on his debut?"
"You ask a player who scored 0 points in his debut to evaluate a player who scored 31 points?" Kobe looked at the reporter who asked the question with a puzzled look.
"Hahahaha!" The reporters around burst into laughter.
It is well known that Kobe Bryant scored 0 points in his first game that year. He was in a good mood after winning today and did not mind joking with reporters about his old embarrassments.
But Kobe quickly got back to business: "I'm very happy to see outstanding juniors emerging from the league. I watched Chen's games when he was in the NCAA. He is a rookie with great potential. I am looking forward to playing against him."
...
...
After everything was over, Chen Yan drove his Ferrari 458 home. When he came out of the parking lot, Chen Yan was stuck in traffic for a while, but it was not cars but fans that blocked him.
Chen Yan rolled down the window and greeted the fans on the roadside.
He did not choose to stop to sign autographs or take photos with the fans.
Facing the enthusiastic fans, Chen Yan was afraid that it would be difficult to restart the engine once it was turned off...
