Chapter 119 The curtain opens, an unprecedented lineup!
The video starts with Shen Fei walking into the studio.
The young Asian man wears a simple, well-fitting suit, has short, smart hair, and is full of heroic brows.
"This is Shen Fei, he is so young!"
"When I watched the game before, I occasionally got a few shots, but today is the clearest I can see him. He is even more handsome than I imagined!"
The barrage floated by one after another, most of which were praises for Shen Fei's appearance.
Next comes the self-introduction and question-asking sessions.
The Asian young man had a calm look on his face, without any of the youthful acerbity or stage fright of young people. Although he didn't speak much, his words were precise and there was no nonsense.
When answering key questions, Shen Fei's confidence amazed passers-by and fans.
"Use the calmest tone and say the most arrogant words. I like this young man Shen Fei!"
"With a general manager like this, I'm not surprised that the Rockets can suddenly take off this season."
A Chinese fan left a message: "Those who have a thunderous chest and a flat lake face can be worshiped as generals! This sentence is so appropriate to describe Shen Fei."
At the end, when Shen Fei was speaking for Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady, the barrage posted messages such as:
"They are really underestimated."
"King Yao Mai is back, and the future is promising!"
"T-Mac must have a place in the mvp list this season!"
...
To put it simply, Shen Fei not only gained a lot of fans with this exclusive interview, but also successfully achieved his goal of building momentum for Yao Mai!
............
At the same time, in China on the other side of the ocean, the headquarters of CCTV.
Shi Leipeng, the director of tv-5, also watched Shen Fei's interview after being reminded by his assistant.
"This young man is really good. Let's see if we can cooperate with him in the future."
Shi Leipeng smiled and said to his assistant while watching.
He not only works for CCTV, but is also an important member of the Chinese Basketball Association.
At the beginning of the new season, Shi Leipeng paid special attention to the Rockets.
Just because he had an in-depth conversation with Yao Ming during the offseason.
After learning that Yao Ming was suffering from serious injuries and had the intention of retiring, Shi Leipeng took the initiative to extend an olive branch, hoping that Yao Ming could join the Chinese Basketball Association in the future.
Dayao did not directly agree, but he also did not refuse.
But later, with the appearance of Shen Fei, things took a turn for the better.
After Yao Ming's injury was completely cured, he told Shi Leipeng that he would not consider retiring in the short term.
Shi Leipeng was surprised and happy.
While he was happy that Yao Ming could continue his career, he also had a great interest in Shen Fei, so he specifically asked his assistant to pay attention to Shen Fei's movements.
After that, Shi Leipeng was shocked by this young man again and again.
I don’t know since when, he had an idea - maybe this man will help the China Men’s Basketball Team reach greater heights!
"Looking at Shen Fei's interview, he is definitely a very thoughtful person, but I don't know if he has the will to serve the country."
"Let's do this, you go contact Shen Fei for an interview with TV. If he agrees, we will arrange a group to go to the beautiful country."
Shi Guopeng arranged.
The assistant nodded and agreed.
Since there is a time difference of about 12 hours between China and Meili, the assistant waited until seven o'clock the next morning before calling Shen Fei.
Soon, the call was connected.
"Hello, Manager Shen Fei, I'm from CCTV...oh no, hello.managershen,i..."
Halfway through the sentence, the assistant realized that the other person might not speak Chinese, so he quickly changed his words, but was interrupted.
"Speak Chinese."
Shen Fei said lightly.
"Ah, okay, you speak Chinese very well."
"That's it, we..."
The assistant conveyed Shi Leipeng's meaning completely.
"Yes, but my time is limited, so why don't you go directly to the Toyota Center to find me."
"At halftime of a game, or at the end of the game."
Shen Fei didn't hesitate and agreed directly.
As a Chinese, CCTV's interviews are naturally completely different from those of beautiful Chinese TV stations.
"Okay, let's meet then and I will inform you of the schedule in advance!"
The assistant didn't expect it to go so smoothly and said happily.
............
November 30, Beijing time, Toyota Center Arena.
The game between the Rockets and the Raptors is as scheduled.
As usual, CCTV will broadcast the entire game.
"Hello all viewers, this is NBA game broadcast brought to you by tv-5."
"I am Yu Jia!"
"I am Yang Yi."
In the live broadcast room, two commentators started.
"What we bring to you today is the highlight game-the Houston Rockets vs. the Toronto Raptors!"
"Coach Yang, can you give us a brief analysis of this game?"
Yu Jia asked.
"OK."
"Let me say the conclusion first. The Rockets' lineup is too advantageous. If nothing unexpected happens in this game..."
"Wait a minute! Director Yang, something unexpected happened!"
Yang Yi was about to talk, but Yu Jia interrupted him.
"I now have the starting rosters of both sides. The Rockets have once again rested a large number of their main players!"
"Their starting lineup today is: Jeremy Lin, Tony Allen, Danny Green, PJ Tucker and Chris Anderson!"
"All five starting players have taken a rest!"
Yu Jia said in disbelief.
"Ah this..."
Yang Yi was a little speechless.
This means that all the preparations he did before the game were scrapped.
"Director Yang, what do you think now?"
Yu Jia asked again, the corners of his mouth rising slightly uncontrollably.
"Now I am more optimistic that the Raptors can end the Rockets' winning streak!"
After Yang Yi hesitated for a moment, he gritted his teeth and gave his own judgment.
"Look, the Raptors' starting lineup is Jarrett Jack, DeRozan, Kleiza, Reggie Evans and Bargnani."
"Jack is an experienced guard. He has bounced around various teams, but he has always been the starting point guard. Jeremy Lin is only in his first year, and I will probably suffer the loss of experience when meeting him."
"DeRozan has averaged 17 points per game this year. Tony Allen may be able to limit him, but he will not play any role on the offensive end."
"The forward combinations of both teams are blue-collar, so let's not talk about it for now. A spatial insider like Bargnani will make Anderson's frame-protecting ability useless, because he will definitely have to follow him to the outside."
Yang Yi conducted a detailed analysis of the lineup.
"Director Yang, what you said makes sense."
"However, is there a possibility, and I mean possibility, that the Rockets can put Anderson and Reggie Evans against each other, and let Tucker guard Bargnani who prefers to play outside?"
Yu Jia said with a smile.
Yang Yi was stunned when he heard this and didn't know how to respond.
Raptors power forward Reggie Evans is a pure rebounder. Give him 30 minutes in a game and he can grab more than ten rebounds for you.
But beyond that, Evans has no use for anything else.
He has no offensive means, his defense is useless, and he is completely unable to protect the frame.
Wouldn't it be just right for this kind of player to be matched up with Birdman?
Seeing that Yang Yi couldn't answer, Yu Jia realized that he was going to cause a live broadcast accident due to his sudden remarks.
Fortunately, the director gave him a message through the earphones, and Yu Jia immediately changed the subject and said:
"Okay, now the game is about to start, let's hand the camera to the front!"
After saying that, Yu Jia waved his hand and the screen turned to the Toyota Center Arena.
............
On the court, Jeremy Lin, who had finished his warm-up, took a deep breath and exhaled slowly before walking onto the court.
Today, after more than a month's absence, he once again appeared on the NBA stage.
For this opportunity, Shuhao put in countless sweat and efforts.
He raised his head, looked through the crowd, and settled on Jarrett Jack, the man wearing Raptors No. 0.
[I'm sorry, but my NBA journey will start again by beating you up!]
