NOVEL NEXT Chapter 113 High-level interview, shooting 3-pointers blindfolded!
In the live TV room of ESPN.
Several famous NBA game commentators: Mike Breen, Chat Ford, Bill Walton and Mark Jackson,
Regarding the Eastern Conference Player of the Month for November in the 04-05 season, which is about to be announced soon, everyone held their own opinions and expressed their own opinions.
Bill Walton was the former NBA No. 1977 pick and the famous Red Giant. He led the Trail Blazers to the championship in . He also won the Finals MVP, and then won the regular season MVP in the second season.
Compared with his son Luke Walton, Bill Walton's influence is very huge. He can be said to be the top three centers in the NBA in the 1970s and 1980s, second only to Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Moses Malone.
Last season, Bill Walton was still working as an assistant coach next to "Zen Master" of the Los Angeles Lakers. With the departure of "Zen Master" this season, Bill Walton also changed his career and came to ESPN as a commentator.
The old assists leader Mark Jackson just retired this summer and also came to work at ESPN.
Mike Breen was the first to speak: "Lin's precise three-pointers are opening up a new era in the NBA. No one in history is as terrifying as his three-pointers!"
"Whether it's Dwayne or Shaquille, their dominance near the penalty area has greatly benefited from Lin's containment on the outside!"
"The Miami Heat have always had the highest offensive and defensive efficiency with Lin on the court. The second-year Wade has grown rapidly, assisting in double figures, and the 32-year-old Shaquille can score and rebound better in the regular season than last season. Comprehensive improvement has a huge relationship with Lin!"
"So in my opinion, Lin's weaknesses in rebounding and assists cannot be the key factors that prevent him from winning the Best of the Month!"
From Mike Breen's words, it is obvious that he is more supportive of Lin Fei winning the Eastern Conference Player of the Month award.
Draft expert Chat Ford supported "Flash" Wade more objectively:
"Wade's five statistics have always been the most comprehensive among the Heat's three. Whether it is the initiation of the offense or the role of the defense, Dwayne is the well-deserved number one core of the Heat!"
"If Steve Nash's 17.2 points and 11.6 assists can also be the player of the month in the Western Conference, then Dwayne Wade with 25.6 points and 10.2 assists should naturally be elected!"
As a famous center in the league, Bill Walton is on Shaquille O'Neal's side this time:
"Shaquille O'Neal's average points and rebounds per game have significantly improved compared to last season. At the same time, because of his deterrence in the penalty area, Wade and Lin can have more shooting opportunities!"
"Even though the Miami Heat's first offensive core has been tilted towards Dwayne Wade, Shaquille is willing to assist his two younger brothers, but he will always be the number one in the league!"
Mark Jackson also chose to support Wade. As a point guard, he naturally pays more attention to the double-double data of points + assists. What's more, Wade's blocks and steals are also top-notch among guards.
"Dwayne is too comprehensive. At the same time, his average number of shots per game is also the most in the team. This already represents his status in the team. Pat Riley is already promoting Wade as the boss of the Heat!"
"At the same time, Dwayne's playing style is also quite exciting. His physical fitness is too strong, and his fighting spirit is even more worthy of being the leader of a team!"
On the whole,
Wade, Lin Fei and O'Neal have all received the support of many experts and fans, because these three guys have played very wonderful monthly performances, which can be said to be impeccable.
After all, in the entire history of the NBA, there have never been three players on the same team who averaged more than 23 points per game per month, and there are almost never even three 20+ players.
But in the end, the Eastern Conference Player of the Month for November was given to Wade, the "Flash" with the highest support rate. This was also the first time in Wade's career that he won the Player of the Month.
For this reason, the fans in Tianchao couldn't help but start to complain about Lin Fei, and there were endless comments on various sports forums.
"It's most appropriate that the best choice this month should be given to me, Brother Fei. My three-point shooting is phenomenal, averaging 28.1 points and 2 steals per game, with a shooting percentage of over 82%. Who else is there?"
"That's right, why is Wade averaging 10+ assists per game? Is there no reason in my mind? Isn't it because half of them are passed to my brother Fei!"
"Lin Fei's terrifying shooting percentage of more than 80% actually failed to win the best game of the month? It seems that the NBA is in the United States after all, and it still suppresses foreign players to some extent!"
"They all belong to the same team. There is absolutely no need to be red-faced because of the best of the month competition. The championship is everyone's ultimate goal!"
"There's nothing wrong with giving it to Wade this month, Lin Fei next month, and O'Neal the next month, haha!"
"The Big Three of the Heat are really going crazy, but when can Brother Fei's assists and rebounds be improved? This data is really a bit too incomplete!"
"I'd rather see Lin Fei dribble and break through. When will he be able to sit in the boss' position after playing without the ball?"
"Brother Fei's golf intelligence and overall outlook are very good. Why is his passing ability so poor?"
"To be honest, Wade plays really well, switching freely between assists and scoring, and he also works hard on defense. It seems that he has a good chance of winning the regular season MVP this season!"
"If the Heat's league-leading record can be maintained until the end, just like competing for the best of the month, Wade, Lin Fei and O'Neal will all have a chance to win the regular season MVP!"
"Is Lin already an MVP-level star now? Oh my god, this is like a dream!"
"With a three-core team, no matter how good the record is, it is very likely that no one will win the regular season MVP. This is incomparable with a star who leads a single-core team and achieves good results!"
"It makes sense. Since the rise of Kobe, O'Neal in the OK period has not been able to win the regular season MVP. This is true for dual-core players, let alone three-core players?"
"Based on the current situation, if one of the Heat's Big Three wants to win the regular season MVP, he must be outstanding in terms of statistics, or be very dazzling in terms of team record, at least 70 wins!"
……
On December 12, Lin Fei and the Heat players sat at home at the AmericanAirlines Arena to face the visiting Boston Celtics.
Six hours before the start of the game, China TV's exclusive interview team in the United States also successfully arrived in Miami.
I plan to stay here for about three days and conduct a comprehensive and in-depth interview with Lin Fei.
The level of this personal interview can be said to be quite high. Not only the relevant hosts and commentators Zhang Guidance, Yu Jia, Su Qun and others from the sports station came with the team,
The famous CCTV Spring Festival Gala hosts Zhou Tao, Li Yong and Xiao Cui are also part of the interview team.
For this comprehensive interview with Lin Fei, the leaders of China TV Station and the cultural and sports department paid great attention to it.
As the flag bearer at the closing ceremony of the Yadian Olympics and the leader of China's men's basketball team, Lin Fei not only helped the men's basketball team win a historic silver medal at the Olympics, but also promoted the hard-working spirit of China's athletes.
Coupled with Lin Fei's huge influence among the domestic fan base and his more dazzling results in the NBA than Yao,
All this will help promote the spirit of national sports and inspire the great national pride of the Chinese people. The rise of a great country must begin at a young age.
And Lin Fei, like Dayao and Liu Xiang, has now become a perfect representative of Chinese athletes who strive for self-improvement and reach the top.
The influence on the physical and mental growth of the new generation of teenagers and the shaping of correct values are crucial.
In addition to interviewing Lin Fei on games, training, daily life, etc., the Tianchao interview team will also learn about the team building philosophy and team culture of the current Miami Heat.
This will allow Chinese fans to have a more direct and profound understanding of the NBA, an international event, which will play a huge role in promoting basketball and advanced sports management experience.
At noon that day, in the training hall of American Airlines Arena.
In the logo area in the middle circle of a stadium, two high stools were placed, and the cameramen and lighting technicians of the Tianchao exclusive interview team were ready.
Lin Fei put on the No. 22 jersey of the national team on top of his No. 9 jersey of the Heat. At the same time, he also wore the silver medal from the Yadian Olympic Games around his neck.
On the index finger of his left hand is the championship ring that the Timberwolves won.
Sitting opposite Lin Fei at this time was none other than Zhou Tao, a famous beauty host from China.
Zhou Tao was born in 1968 and graduated from Tianchao Communication University with a master's degree. She hosted the Spring Festival Gala at the age of 28 and is now a famous female host active on the front lines of Tianchao TV.
Today, Zhou Tao is wearing a smart women's formal suit, matching black and white. Although he is 36 years old, he still looks young and beautiful, full of intellectual beauty and excellent temperament.
In view of the formal nature of this interview, Zhou Tao's questions also seemed formal and polite.
Lin Fei naturally knew that the domestic public opinion environment in 2004 was still relatively conservative and the Internet had not yet emerged, so it was quite important to guide young people's values.
In fact, Lin Fei prefers to answer these questions from Chinese reporters instead of making random troubles from American media reporters.
Because Lin Fei himself is a player with a very positive outlook, he is strict with himself, never complains about the society, and is full of positive energy.
"Lin Fei, compared with playing in the Timberwolves last season, what do you think will be different when you come to the Miami Heat this season?"
"For example, in life and getting along with teammates!"
Lin Fei smiled into the microphone and said: "Whether it was with the Timberwolves last season or the Heat this season, I feel lucky because I have made friends of my own!"
"It must be very difficult for Chinese players to get involved and survive in the NBA. In this regard, compared with the general situation, I feel like I have someone to help me!"
"Without the help of Szebiak, I probably wouldn't have been able to play a full season with the Timberwolves, and I wouldn't have been able to achieve success in the Western Conference Finals and the Finals!"
"Now I come to the Heat, Dwayne and Shaquille are also my good friends, and generally, I am very happy for his progress this season. Now everyone is working together and is launching an impact for the championship!"
Zhou Tao continued to talk elegantly and asked:
"Can you share with the Chinese fans your experience last season before you became famous? For example, were you bullied by your seniors in the team, or even faced racial issues? If so!"
Lin Fei spoke confidently and calmly: "Perhaps in the eyes of fans, last season's Western Conference Finals and Finals are what impressed them the most, but for me, it was the first few months of coming to the NBA and the Timberwolves!"
"That was the most difficult time for me. You will always be isolated and excluded within the team, and you will worry about being cut every day. After finally playing in garbage time, it is difficult to get a chance to perform!"
"But fortunately, all this has passed. Without the hardship, I would not have become famous in G5 of the Western Conference Finals!"
"As for racial discrimination, it will naturally happen, whether it is on or off the court, whether it is opponents or fans!"
"But we can always believe in one truth, that is, the weak will eat the strong, and the NBA is a relatively fair world stage!"
"As long as you fight well, you can crush all discrimination and doubts under your feet! Then you can condescendingly shout to your defeated generals: Remember, buddy, I am from China!"
Zhou Tao couldn't help but be moved by Lin Fei's beautiful answer, and the cameraman and lighting engineer beside him also excitedly applauded.
"Lin Fei, finally tell me your views on the future development of the Tianchao men's basketball team? Do you think more domestic players will enter the NBA?"
"I believe that the overall strength of the Tianchao men's basketball team will continue to grow. At least in our generation, we will definitely have a chance to win gold medals in the World Championships and Olympic Games!"
"The Olympics will be held on our doorstep in four years. I will be 24 years old by then, which should be the period when my personal strength and physical condition are at their most perfect!"
"Many of our domestic outstanding players have the potential to play in the NBA. At least in the national team, Arab League and Zhu Fangyu have this ability. Sun Yue of the Imperial City Aoshen team also has the potential to play in the NBA!"
After finishing the interview, Lin Fei also specially picked up a basketball brought by the interview team. The national flag of China was printed on the basketball. Under the whole process of recording by the cameraman,
Performed a wonderful long-range three-point performance.
The five ultra-long three-pointers from the top three-point line in the front court to the three-point line in the backcourt were each farther than the last, and they were all made hollow.
This was followed by five super-long three-pointers from the entrance of the player channel, all of which were also hit.
In the end, at the request of the Tianchao interview team, Lin Fei covered his eyes with a piece of red cloth, stood at the top of the three-point arc to pick up the ball, and relied entirely on feeling to take off the ball decisively.
"Shh!"
and also.
Standing next to the cameraman, Director Zhang, Li Yong, Xiao Cui and others all applauded in shock, feeling incredible about Lin Fei's superb three-point touch.
"I originally thought about editing it later, but it seems there is no need at all! Lin Fei's three-pointer is really accurate!"
"Haha, even if this is true, fans will feel like it was edited after watching it, right?"
"This kind of talent can never be trained. Lin Fei is really a three-point genius that is rare in the world of basketball!"
"Because of Lin Fei's presence, our Chinese basketball career has accelerated by at least 50 years!"
