643.Why dont you get 60 points?(2/2)
But Liu Mang didn't like to be interviewed, which made the media explode. They could only watch ESPN get first-hand information every time. This time the Eagles rarely announced that they would open the locker room for interviews, and the reporters were naturally very enthusiastic. .
Coach Kruger was surrounded by reporters. He watched his players flying into the sky with excitement. Most of them had never been interviewed by so many reporters. Even in the past two years, they had felt Liu Mang’s influence in the international basketball world. The influential old players are very excited, they are going to be famous this time!
Of course, the largest news media want to interview Liu Mang alone. The most mainstream media in China, the United States, the United Kingdom, Spain, Russia and other Europe that are more interested in basketball are all next to Liu Mang.
Liu Mang saw his old friend Xu Jicheng coming again, and the two chatted happily in English.
The main reason is that Xu Jicheng proposed to use English. He is a better person. If other media cannot understand Chinese, he will hate Xinhua News Agency. If he uses English, the people next to him can also understand the content of the interview.
Liu Mang and Xu Jicheng exchanged a few pleasantries and began the official visit.
"Ace, congratulations on taking the lead in the battle for the scoring title. Are you confident that you will win the scoring title this season?" Xu Jicheng is very proud. He is a player from his country. This is just a question.
A bit radical.
Liu Mang felt a pressure coming on. The Imperial TV station and Xinhua News Agency were in line with the general public opinion in the country. Liu Mang often went to online forums at home and abroad. He knew the public opinion of domestic fans very well. He felt that with Liu Mang and Yao Ming, China
The team feels invincible.
There is nothing Liu Mang can do about this situation. Among the three major sports in the country, the women's volleyball team is okay, the women's football team is also good, and the women's basketball team is also very strong, but the men's side is miserable. Except for the men's basketball team, everything else is miserable.
, the men’s volleyball team is third-rate in the world, and sometimes it can’t even enter the first-level world competitions. The men’s football team has just become a national shame, and only the men’s basketball team looks promising. Before the rise of Yao Ming and Liu Mang, it was already among the top ten in the world, so domestic
Sports fans place their hopes on the three major sports on the men's basketball team.
For this, Liu Mang feels quite honored, but he is under a lot of pressure!
Just like now, the question asked by Xu Jicheng is obviously not a normal question, but a question of recruiting gangsters. Liu Mang doesn't care whether he recruits gangsters or not. American media basically ask this question, but domestic mainstream media ask this question.
, which reflects the domestic public opinion situation from the side, that is, domestic fans are almost overconfident, and even the mainstream media are so confident.
This made Liu Mang feel that there was a lot of pressure to join the national team next!
But what can be done? After World War II, the country has been weak for many years, and now it is becoming stronger step by step. It needs to show the country's strength to the world from both software and hardware aspects. Hardware is naturally the country's economic strength and military strength. These two
The country will solve all aspects on its own.
Software refers to sports, art, education, etc. The most direct one is sports!
That’s why the national table tennis team is so valued, and the national football team’s entry into the World Cup is such a sensation.
However, table tennis, badminton, diving and other sports have indeed too little influence, and the national football team is really bad. For tennis, which has great influence, 90% of the people in the country may not have touched a tennis racket with their own hands. Therefore, domestic
of sports fans pin their hopes on basketball.
Maybe not all Chinese people understand that the purest idea in their hearts is to show the strength of the country. Maybe their more "shallow" idea is to simply love basketball, love sports, and love the country, but fundamentally speaking, they just want to
Seeing that the country is stronger makes you more confident!
After Liu Mang became an athlete, he understood this more deeply than most sports fans. Why are most NBA stars unwilling to join the national team? Is it because they are not patriotic? No, but they already have that self-confidence.
The national team is invincible in the world and they are very confident.
As for Liu Mang, his country has been weak for many years and needs such a leading figure in the sports world. It needs a sport that has always attracted a lot of attention to show the country's strength. Liu Mang knows this very well.
Why is the national football team being scolded so badly now? Isn’t it because the expectations are too high and do not match the country’s hardware strength? If our country were the same as Thailand and Laos, who would give them such high expectations?
After feeling from Xu Jicheng that the direction of domestic public opinion was confirmed, Liu Mang felt not only pressure, but also a sense of responsibility! This made Liu Mang more eager to get his talents and skills to compete with each other, and improve his strength by one level this season.
The stairs are more powerful!
In this case, Liu Mang curled his lips and pretended to think for a moment before saying: "This is a great start, and it will be great next time. I think I am the strongest scorer. Since the goal is set, let's take it."
The reporters were all very satisfied with this answer. Then it was the ESPN reporter's turn to ask: "Ace, do you think your fight for the scoring title will affect the team's record?"
Friends, the questions asked may seem unfriendly, but they are all old friends. How could Liu Mang not know that the other party was helping and asked him to explain, but how could Liu Mang let go of this opportunity to cause trouble?
Liu Mang's arrogant expression reappeared: "This is not a problem, we are too strong, no one can be our opponent, the record, scoring champion and even the final championship are all ours."
The reporter from ESPN had a negative look on his face. Didn't he think about how badly he had been scolded? The friend station was tired of being a reporter! He had to help "quote" the good points out of context, and he had to make it up himself.
Little did he know that Liu Mang was eager to make things bigger and get as many hooligan points as he did in the rest of the regular season plus the playoffs before killing Kidd. How could he not make things happen, whether he loved him or hated him?
,It will be all right!
When the T.N.T reporter arrived, he asked a question: "Ace, I just heard your teammates say that you are only 6 points away from 60 points. You feel very unhappy about this. For you, is scoring more important or your teammates?"
As expected, they were on a hostile stage, so this issue was very unfriendly. It was obvious that his teammates were teasing him to get 60 points, but they were able to take the lead and put it on Liu Mang's head.
However, Liu Mang not only did not defend himself, but also directly expressed his approval: "Wow, you are so right. I feel terrible. These teammates who do not have a high shooting percentage and average points per game are always robbing me.
Shooting opportunities, I'm really fed up with them. For me, of course the data is the most important. Who are my teammates? Well, it's not that important. It's not like I haven't scored 60 points, who cares."
Liu Mang's words triggered a burst of laughter. Of course, there may still be some who take them out of context, and there may also be those who directly and clearly release the entire interview with Liu Mang, and there will also be friendly media that focus on interpreting Liu Mang.
If he has a good relationship with his teammates, no matter what it is, Liu Mang thinks it's okay, as long as it can increase his popularity!
