Chapter 71 - [Extraordinary self-confidence, season goal]
On the evening of the 13th, the Lakers held a press conference and announced the signing of four newcomers and showed their jerseys. Guo Xu was the only protagonist, and the other three were all accompanied.
There were nearly a hundred reporters on the scene, almost squeezing the already small training hall, and all kinds of spears and short guns filled the press seat. It can be seen that the media of all parties attach great importance to Guo Xu.
Audrey Jones of ABC Radio also came. She didn’t expect there will be so many people today. According to this development trend, she would like to interview Guo Xu in the future.
In addition to those reporters who usually follow the Lakers, most of the extra reporters come from mainstream American media, such as news channels; there are also some international media, rare European media, Asian media, all of which appeared today at the Lakers Training Center. This situation is very much like Guo Xu’s previous life “Lin Madness” story.
When Jeremy Lin broke out, five Chinese players had played in the NBA, but now Guo Xu is the only Chinese in the NBA.
Jeremy Lin’s peak is as short and gorgeous as summer flowers, and finally attributed to the ordinary. He has not broken any records, has not been selected as an All-Star, and is not even a second-rate star. Guo Xu’s career has just begun, he seems to have unlimited potential to break the record.
The media likes to “pull and kill” the most. No matter what height Guo Guo can reach in the future, they are now happy to hold it high. Finally, if his strength falls from a height, the media will also organize a group to step on him. News is up and down.
Some people asked Guo Xu’s record-breaking impression of the summer league. Some people wanted to know how he felt when he was selected in the last place. Some reporters’ questions were more tricky.
A male reporter from China asked: “The information shows that you are a Chinese of half Chinese origin. Can you speak Chinese? Do you know China?”
Of course, Guo Xu knows China, and he also understands the huge Chinese keyboard man group in the future. This question must be answered well, otherwise some keyboard men will say that he is a “banana man”. From then on, he looks like a “little goblin” to “crack” “Ji Wan” is the same, it is naked hatred, it is a hatred that is not common.
Guo Xuchang’s re-white is also of Chinese origin. White Americans really care about the purity of their lineage. As long as they are mixed with other races, they are not white, even if you are one-sixteenth of Chinese descent, they are also colored people.
“Banana Man” is also called ABC (AmericanBornChinese), and originally meant Chinese Americans born in the United States. Although they are also black and yellow, they do not know Chinese and speak authentic American English. They have been influenced by American culture and American education since childhood, and their thinking methods and values are completely Americanized, which is different from their predecessors who emigrated to the United States.
This title is really chilling, what is a banana man? Do n’t they all seek to live? Chinese Americans are discriminated against and bullied in the United States. They smile in front of them and weep behind them, even China despise them. They eat and drink are given by the keyboard man? What did they do to China’s bad things?
Do n’t you dare to believe when Keyboardman sprays everything from abroad to say they are patriotic? Think about what kind of stuff it is, just to say that it is a spray, they have hatred against anyone, who catches who sprays, and if they do not have a good life, they do n’t see others. It is a villain who hates people.
But I have to say, you ca n’t afford this kind of person, they are really good at disgusting others, and you ca n’t stop it.
Guo Xu directly answered questions in Chinese. “I know China very well. If you do n’t believe it, you can compare it with Mandarin on the spot. I can tell you a story about the red carp and the green donkey … do n’t forget, this is too time-consuming. I ’m afraid you will be The security guard threw it out. “
Chinese reporters can still make Chinese-style jokes when he speaks standard Mandarin, revealing a surprised expression. “You speak Mandarin very well, and who did you learn from?”
“My dad.” Guo Xu simply replied.
The other reporters were a little impatient, and the Chinese reporter hurried to ask another key question. “Are you willing to take the time to accept an exclusive interview with Chinese media?”
“Of course, just contact my agent, the place you choose.” Guo Xu smiled.
He hopes that the majority of Chinese fans will know themselves, which will make others feel soaring. The development of Chinese basketball is about to enter a golden period. The influence of the NBA in China and the number of Chinese fans will increase significantly.
A foreign reporter then asked: “Do you have any goals for the new season? What do you think you can achieve in the NBA in the future?”
Guo Xu thought about it for a while, and said: “My goal in the new season is to be the best rookie, and my goal in the future is to be an All-Star.”
The reporters immediately felt that the trip was worthwhile tonight. Probably everyone had ambitions. There were very few people who dared to speak directly. Guo Xu showed extraordinary self-confidence.
Of course he dares to say that this goal is not difficult to achieve. In his previous life, the performance of the 2000 rookie was generally bad, the data was bad, the best rookie lineup could not even make up five people who scored in double figures.
The best rookie was Mike Miller, averaging 11.9 points, 4 rebounds and 1.7 assists. He was a pitcher in the Magic.
Although the Lakers have OK combination, Guo Xu can not have too much possession, but Fisher can score in double figures, he firmly believes that he can do it, as long as more assists, more than Miller. The only variable is Jason Richardson. Guo Xu can’t guess what data he can get from the Bulls.
The reporter asked: “Your registered height is only 180 cm and you have created two summer league records, which has inspired many people. What is your secret? Do you have any special suggestions for the little guys who love basketball?”
Guo Xu smiled and said: “Small people also have an advantage. If you really love basketball, practice hard. When you learn to use your own advantages and use the speed to pass those big men, you are half successful.”
“What about the other half?” The reporter asked.
“You have to throw the ball.”
The reporter asked: “Did you choose No. 58 because of the draft pick?”
“Yes, I want to leave a memorial. The number 58 is not terrible ~ www.mtlnovel.com ~ People should not lose confidence in themselves because of a number. The identity of the last rookie is an incentive for me, I I believe many people will regret not choosing me in advance. “
The reporter asked: “Is it your childhood dream to enter the NBA?”
Guo Xu shook his head: “No, I was very introverted when I was a kid, and I didn’t like talking. I have two good friends who like to play basketball. My family let me go out and play with them, and communicate with people. Basketball changed my life.
The reporter asked: “How is your friend’s strength?”
“Jason Richardson was selected by the Bulls in the fourth pick. I think all fans will know him in the future, just look at the dunk, he is no worse than Jordan now. My other friend is Austin Nichols, now live In Los Angeles, the dream is to become a Hollywood star, and his second movie will be filmed this month. “Guo Xu does not forget to help friends to advertise, we are a combination of cattle X.
The reporter asked: “Is your idol in the league? Who do you think is the best point guard?”
Guo Xu said: “My idol is Jordan, he is the best player in the NBA. The best point guard I think is Allen Iverson, he is the same size as me, not only became the draft pick, but also won the scoring champion He has a lot of places for me to learn, and I look forward to playing against him in the NBA. “
Iverson won more All-Star votes than O’Neal last season, second only to Carter and Mourning, and nearly doubled the votes of Kobe. He is the most popular point guard. There is no one. The 183CM point guard is just a kind of argument. Which coach dares to let him defend against the opponent point guard?
The reporter also asked some topics outside the basketball court, Guo Xu’s hobbies and so on. He has too many hobbies.
An hour later, with a round of applause, the press conference ended successfully.
