Chapter 218 Meticulous Interview
Zhao Qiang put down the basketball and walked over to shake hands with Lao Lin, "Brother Lin, you are too polite. No need to bother me. I am very happy to see someone from our country come."
Lao Lin felt very comfortable when he heard this. Xiao Zhao is quite good at talking. "Xiao Zhao, I'm here to congratulate you. You are very popular in our country. Many people are paying attention to you and want to know."
For your news, this is the purpose of my visit this time, which is to give you a good interview so that people in our country can know you better."
Zhao Qiang never expected that he would become famous in China, considering that he had only played one regular season game.
"Brother Lin, isn't it? I've only played one regular season game now, and I'm already so angry like this?"
Lao Lin laughed and said: "Xiao Zhao, please don't be humble. I know what kind of performance you had in your first regular season game. I'm really sorry that I'm not here to watch and cheer you on.
.”
"But it doesn't matter. I have applied for long-term follow-up and coverage of your news. I will not miss any of your games by then."
Zhao Qiang was really touched when he heard this. He didn't expect that people would come all the way from China to see him, report on his own game, and feel the care of his family in a foreign country. It was really a very good thing.
Lao Lin then said: "Xiao Zhao, you won't let me follow you and report on you. You must know that I defeated many people to get this job."
Zhao Qiang smiled and said: "Brother Lin, your reporting is to increase my reputation. It's too late for me to thank you. How can I stop you from reporting?"
"Brother Lin, I will get you a temporary work permit. Then you will be able to enter and leave our arena freely. Of course, you will not be able to go to some important places."
Lao Lin was almost overjoyed. Judging from this situation, he had first-hand exclusive information. If his peers in China saw him, they would be extremely envious of him.
"Xiao Zhao, thank you so much. Thank you for supporting my work. We won't say much else. If anything happens in the future, just tell Brother Lin."
Zhao Qiang took Lao Lin to apply for a temporary work permit and explained the situation to the team's management and head coach.
The head coach and team management believe that as long as it does not affect training, there will be no problem.
And they are quite happy about this matter. After all, for them, this is a foreign media. When foreign media reports on the players, it can be regarded as promoting the team.
It can also indirectly help them open up the market in Dragon Kingdom.
Maybe at the beginning, they didn't have a deep concept of the Longguo market.
But when they acquired Dragon Kingdom player Zhao Qiang, their thoughts obviously began to change. Maybe they could take this opportunity to open up the Dragon Kingdom market.
The Dragon Country market is still an untapped market and has a very strong attraction for NBA teams.
Of course, Zhao Qiang will not accept any interviews during normal training. Just train normally and don’t let these off-court matters affect your training.
Lao Lin was also very knowledgeable and was beside him, slowly recording Zhao Qiang's things. He took out the camera he carried with him and took photos of Zhao Qiang. Of course, in addition to taking photos of Zhao Qiang, he also took photos of other players on the 76ers team.
Photographed and recorded.
After training, Zhao Qiang took Lao Lin to the central city of Philadelphia for dinner. Zhao Qiang took Lao Lin to a good restaurant.
Lao Lin entered the restaurant with Zhao Qiang a little awkwardly. After sitting down, he said uneasily: "Xiao Zhao, we can just find a restaurant by ourselves to deal with it. There is no need to come to such an expensive restaurant."
Zhao Qiang smiled and said: "Brother Lin, there is no need to save money for me. I still have a small amount of investment, so I am still relatively wealthy."
Zhao Qiang’s stock holdings include more than Coca-Cola, and he has purchased shares in two major sports brands, Nike and Adidas. Then he is waiting for an opportunity to buy the Washington Post.
The stock purchase of the Washington Post can be regarded as a sure profit without losing money.
Then if you buy Apple stocks in a few years, you can live like a rich man even if you don't play ball.
Zhao Qiang's words made Lao Lin feel a little more at ease.
Zhao Qiang continued: "Brother Lin, he also sells food in high-end restaurants, so Brother Lin, don't think too much about it. When eating, our main goal is to be happy and satisfied. Why do you come here to eat? The taste here is not bad.
Don’t put any psychological burden on me, can we, the men of the Dragon Kingdom, be inferior to others?"
After hearing this, Lao Lin felt that there was nothing he couldn't do in a high-end restaurant. Today, Lao Lin, I also experienced bourgeois happiness.
The two began to chat while eating.
Lao Lin spoke first, "Xiao Zhao, I think you started playing in the NCAA, right?"
Zhao Qiang nodded, "Yes, I like basketball very much. After following my parents to this beautiful country, I joined the school's basketball team."
"Brother Lin, there are basketball leagues in schools here. This is where I started my basketball journey."
Lao Lin asked and took notes, "So what are your results in the NCAA?"
Mentioning this, Zhao Qiang showed a look of reminiscence. The time in the NCAA was still very happy.
"At that time, our cavalry team went all the way and finally won the championship, which helped the cavalry team improve to a higher level. It was a really happy time."
Lao Lin nodded, he is indeed a genius, and it is very rare to win the championship in the NCAA.
"How did you enter the NBA? Was it through school recommendation or did you participate in the NBA draft independently?"
Zhao Qiang began to say: "Actually, I didn't want to participate in the NBA draft so soon at first. After all, there are so many strong people in the NBA. Without certain abilities, there is no way to gain a foothold here."
"As I played better and better in the NCAA league, my condition also got better and better. Then I felt that I could participate in more intense competitions, so after helping the Cavaliers win the championship, I decided to team up with my good friend
Big Ben will participate in the NBA draft together."
"By the way, my good friend Ben is also a very talented player, but his offensive ability is relatively weak, and these teams don't particularly value him."
"I remember I was selected with the 15th overall pick in the draft, and then I was traded to the Philadelphia 76ers."
