Mark Four is not a fool. Before meeting the reporter, he spent half an hour doing preparations.
Then he walked out of the door. As soon as he opened the door and turned a corner, he saw that the stairs were crowded with more than a dozen local media reporters, and his team members were blocking them from coming up.
Some reporters had already spotted Mark Foyo and shouted: "Mr. Foyo, I am a reporter from Florida Sports. I want to ask you a question."
The flash clicked.
Mark Foyou put on a kind face, stretched out his hands gracefully and pressed down, signaling reporters to quiet down, and reprimanded the team members who blocked the road: "Who asked you to stop here? Didn't I say so?"
Will you let the journalist friends in?"
The team members looked at each other.
The reporters also knew that this was Mark Foyou's pretense, but at least he had enough respect for them in terms of face.
Mark Foyou walked under the reporter's flashlight and said to the reporters in front of him with a slight smile on his face: "Don't worry, everyone. I borrowed a conference room from the hotel. I know what you want to know, and I have a lot of things as my
The head coach also wants you to know that if you ask me questions now, I will give you a satisfactory answer when I get to the conference room later."
The reporters all breathed a sigh of relief. Today's hard work was not in vain, and they could finally wait for some news.
Ten minutes later, all reporters present were invited to the conference room.
When the reporter walked into the conference room, he found that Lu Yu, the party involved in yesterday's fight, was sitting in the conference room. Next to Lu Yu was a yellow-skinned middle-aged man who had no idea what his relationship was with Lu Yu.
All cameras and flashlights were pointed at Lu Yu.
Lu Yu stood up, smiled and said to the reporters: "Hello everyone, I am a Chinese player from the Gonzaga Bulldogs, Lu Yu, and next to me is the head coach of the Chinese Men's Basketball National Youth Team, Wang Fei.
coach."
Sensitive reporters immediately smelled something unusual through Lu Yu's introduction.
It seems that this matter is not that simple.
Mark Foyou walked up to Lu Yu at this time, picked up the microphone and signaled everyone to be quiet, and said: "I bother all media friends to come here today mainly because of the dispute between our school's Gonzaga Bulldogs player Lu Yu and the Florida Gators.
During the game, I want to explain the dispute with Crocodiles player Nelson and clarify some things to everyone. Now let’s all watch the stadium video at that time.”
After saying that, he pressed the button in his hand, and the projector behind him played a short video of the day's game. The short video was edited, and the camera focused on Nelson's elbow moves against Lu Yu and the slow-motion scene of Nelson's insult to Lu Yu.
The final video freezes at the moment Nelson rushes towards Lu Yu.
"Mr. Foyou, I am Florida..."
The reporter in the audience was about to ask a question, but was directly interrupted by Mark Foyou, "I'm sorry, madam reporter, today is not a press conference. We want to clarify something to everyone. We don't need to answer your questions. We clarify
After that, you can choose whether to release news and how to release news. We will not interfere in any of this. Of course, we will also videotape and save the entire meeting."
In his words, he clearly told reporters not to ask questions and warned reporters not to make up nonsense.
Then Mark Foyou looked at Lu Yu: "Lu, please tell me about the situation on the field at that time."
Lu Yu stood up and took the microphone and said humbly: "I think everyone has seen that Nelson used unconventional moves against me from the beginning of the game. I don't think he can quibble about this, but I won't dwell on it.
Don’t let it go, after all, it’s normal to move on the basketball court, and old Mr. Tomjanovich once tasted his own brain.”
The reporters in the audience all laughed. They didn't expect Lu Yu to be able to joke humorously at this time, and they couldn't help but feel a little fond of this young player.
Reporters also know that what Lu Yu said is true. In fact, they have all seen the video of the game that day. If you put aside the colored glasses of skin color to look at the problem, Lu Yu, as a player, can remain calm for such a long time.
It's a commendable thing.
"Of course, although the process was difficult, we still won the game by a big score. I hit the last three-pointer of the game. At this time, Nelson behaved irrationally. He rushed up and wanted to beat me.
" Lu Yu paused for a moment when he said this, and glanced at the reporters in the audience, with a trace of regret in his eyes: "I made a mistake at this time, I shouldn't fight back, I should turn around and run away, but I was angered by him the whole time.
, he wanted to attack me, and I couldn’t calm myself down, especially after he insulted my skin color and insulted my motherland..."
Mark Foyou immediately stood up and interrupted Lu Yu: "I don't care what he insulted you. Now I'm asking you, do you know that you shouldn't hit someone?"
Mark Four's tone was serious.
All the reporters were stunned. If things were really as Lu Yu said, then Nelson would be suspected of framed Lu Yu.
Not only did he confuse right and wrong, Nelson also scolded the other party's country. It would not end well if there was a big commotion. No wonder Mark Foyo would stop Lu Yu in time.
When they looked at the head coach of the Chinese Men's Basketball National Youth Team sitting next to them, they immediately understood why he was here.
This was something Lu Yu had discussed with Mark Foyou before. The matter could be disclosed to reporters, but it must be kept in a very brief manner, leaving reporters with a certain amount of room for imagination.
"Speak, do you know?" Mark Four continued to ask.
Lu Yu remained silent.
"I think Lu Yu did the right thing."
Wang Fei stood up at the right time: "As a Chinese, we must maintain the image of the Chinese no matter where we are. Anyone who insults our country will fight to the end. As the head coach of the Chinese Men's Basketball National Youth Team,
We have solemnly informed the NCAA that the Chinese National Youth Team refuses to participate in this friendly match with the Florida Gators!"
The reporters in the audience were in an uproar. If this incident spread to the other side of the ocean, it would have a huge impact.
Thirty years ago, table tennis could cause diplomatic incidents, not to mention this time it involves racial discrimination and insulting the other country. Nelson, who is so stupid, also accused Lu Yu of racial discrimination against him. Don't just slander, but show evidence.
!
Nelson had no evidence, but Lu Yu had solid evidence.
The reporters here really have to weigh in their hearts whether they want to report this kind of news.
Mark Foyou slammed the table and shouted at Wang Fei: "Lu Yu is my player and an NCAA player. It is up to me to decide how to deal with this matter. It is not your turn to take care of it."
, Lu Yu must make a profound reflection on this matter."
Wang Fei also glared at him: "Before Lu Yu became your NCAA player, he was first of all a Chinese. He did nothing wrong, so why should he reflect on it?"
Two people, one slams the table and the other stares, neither one gives way to the other.
The reporters in the audience were stunned. After a good press clarification meeting, everything had been explained clearly, and the reporters had no idea of reporting. Even if they wanted to report, they would have to wait until the NCAA official set the tone before following up on the report.
