Because Martin could not come until tomorrow, he separated from Wang Ziqiang after returning home.
Today is the 21st, and the Magic's game will have to wait until the 23rd to challenge the Pacers away from home. Many players who participated in the All-Star game cannot come back to train today, so the team has no training arrangements today and all members have a day off.
Edison stayed at home for a while and felt very bored, so he simply drove his Taurus directly to his parents' house.
When Edison came to his parents' house, Edison's father Eric Edison had not yet returned home and went to see a doctor. Edison's mother was surprised by Paul's early arrival.
In fact, she also knew that her child annoyed her and did not want to stay with her, but she always made various excuses for Edison, convincing herself that it was not the child that annoyed her, but that he was too busy. Over time, she became self-hypnotized,
She believed it herself, but the reason deep in her heart still allowed her to understand that the truth of the matter was not that good.
So Edison came back early today, which was really beyond her expectation.
So she was so excited that she did something that women love to do most. Under the guise of preparing for dinner, she took Edison to the supermarket for a shopping spree.
After three hours, Edison's legs were getting thinner. He began to strongly question his IQ, "Why don't I come back at night and have to come back early? Aren't I making myself unhappy?"
After coming back, Lina was still full of energy and went to prepare dinner with great excitement, while Edison was lying on his original double bed like a dead dog.
After Edison moved out from home, he came back often at first, so Edison's parents kept his room. The furnishings in it have not changed. Now every once in a while, Lina will clean it.
Edison's bed was a super-thick, super-soft mattress. Now that Edison was lying on it, his whole body was sunk into the mattress. It felt like a sausage in a hot dog sandwich.
Just when Edison was about to fall asleep, the phone rang again.
Edison fumbled and took out the phone. When he saw that it was an unfamiliar number, Edison's first reaction was to hang up and go on to rest. But after thinking about it in his mind, he reluctantly answered the phone.
"Hello, I'm Paul Edison, who are you?" Since everyone answered the phone, he should appear more enthusiastic. However, although Edison pretended to answer the phone very attentively, his tone was still a bit lazy.
"Yes, Paul. I'm Erin Andrews." A very clear and sweet voice came from the phone. If Rachel's voice is like a silver bell, it is very clear and magnetic; Wang Ziqiang's voice is like a cat, deep and deep.
Soft; the sound is like a harrier, with a particularly bright pronunciation.
When Edison heard this voice, his blood pressure instantly shot up to 140, his eyes widened, and he immediately became energetic.
"Hello, Miss Eileen, do we know each other? What can I do for you?" Edison's tone instantly became attentive.
"Can't you hear my voice? I'm the person you tricked in the All-Star Game." The other party's tone was a bit unkind.
But when he heard what she said, Edison's mind instantly reflected on the beautiful reporter who had always been at odds with him, whose teachers found fault with him, and questioned his draft selection.
"Oh, it turns out it's you. What's the matter with calling me?" Once he found out it was her, Edison's interest dropped instantly.
"That's it. Our ESPN has arranged for me to give you a long interview. Is that okay with you?"
"Exclusive interview~~~Look, I've been very busy recently." Edison was actually absolutely convinced. After all, doing an exclusive interview can greatly enhance his popularity. And you must know that not every coach in the league can make ESPN
Doing an exclusive interview is an affirmation of a coach's ability and status. But when he heard that it was Irene who was doing the interview, Edison had other ideas. He didn't agree so happily. He wanted to tease her, but who asked her to do it?
I have always been against myself...
"That's right, then I'll tell the headquarters that you don't have time." But the other party obviously didn't agree with him, or Eileen didn't want to do an exclusive interview with Edison. After all, the relationship between the two was not very harmonious before.
There was a period of relaxation between the two because of Marbury and other matters, but with this All-Star break, things have once again entered a freezing point.
"No, no, no, no, no, no, no, the chicken has eaten the eagle. There is no need to care when I say this and you hear this." When Edison saw that they were about to evacuate, he quickly began to pray without self-respect.
"Why, you have time again? You're not busy anymore." Irene rarely gave Edison a hard time, and she was even more unreasonable.
"In this way, you come to the Water House Center tomorrow afternoon. I will lead the team to fly to Indianapolis in the evening, and I can give you an exclusive interview before that."
"Then we'll see you tomorrow." Erin was obviously very proud at the end.
After putting down the phone, Edison shook his fist and said, "It's a long interview with ESPN. This is where I really stand out."
Some people may think that a long interview is nothing and should be very common, but in fact it is not.
First of all, exclusive interviews are indeed very common, but they are usually for players, such as Kobe and Garnett. Basically, they have exclusive interviews every month, but they are also from various magazines. In sports circles like ESPN
The leading players usually only give them a general interview before the start of the season to let them look forward to the new season, and then after the season starts, they will also find one or two people for exclusive interviews every week.
Some people may say, author, aren't you contradicting yourself? Then it should be relatively easy for you to conduct exclusive interviews. In one season, more than 60 people will be interviewed.
That's right, but what I'm talking about is an exclusive interview, not a long interview, and it's not a long interview with ESPN magazine. If ESPN gives you a long interview, it means that you will be the cover of this magazine.
You must know that ESPN does not only focus on basketball. Basketball in the United States is only one of the four major leagues, and there are also other events such as track and field, tennis, golf, swimming, etc., so during the six-month basketball competition period, the cover character
There are only 30 in total, and there are really only a handful of NBA figures among them. Generally, only the core of the championship or the big names who have achieved incredible results for a period of time are possible.
Moreover, coaches have not been taken seriously in the field of basketball. Now there are only a handful of coaches who have appeared on the cover of ESPN magazine, and there are also a few ancient behemoths like Auerbach. The only one currently in service is "Zen Master"
Phil Jackson, Larry Brown and "Magic Calculator" Pat Riley. (Let's pretend he is still the active coach) Now that Edison may become the fourth, how can you not be excited about him?
Edison was still rolling on the bed celebrating, when his mother Lina came to the door of his room, "Paul, I want to ask you something, please come out."
"What's the matter?" Edison answered with a sunny face. He had just received the good news and was in a great mood.
"You come out first and come to the living room."
So Edison hummed a song, twisted his body and came to the living room, and then threw himself on the sofa with a "bang".
"What's the matter?" Because he was at home and didn't pay attention to his image, Edison picked his nose and curled his lips and said without even looking at Lina.
"Come and take a look." Lina waved to Edison, took out two newspapers and placed them on the coffee table.
"What the hell?" Edison was also very confused and looked at his mother in confusion.
"Look at these two photos." Edison's mother pointed with her finger.
Edison followed her hand and saw that one of the photos was taken by him at Staples, when he was watching the Christmas game, and the other was from the All-Star Challenge two days ago. Both photos were snapshots.
Yes, but it’s very clear that Edison himself didn’t know what the situation was like when he took the photo, but it looked normal, except that he was a bit fat in the recent photo. After all, he was always on tenterhooks in every game, worried that if the team’s record was not good,
I was worried that I would be fired, and my anxiety made me lose my appetite for food. But by the time of the All-Star Game, I had already secured my position as the head coach of the Magic. I didn’t have to worry about these problems anymore. Just like the advertisement said, "Eat."
"It's so fragrant", the meat will naturally be served...
Thinking of this, Edison nodded and thought to himself, "Not to mention, I'm really fat. I should also do more exercise. Sometimes I just watch from the side during training now, and it's not like at the beginning.
.At that time, I ran with them and demonstrated the tactics in person. Now I am a little careless about basketball. I am not as focused as before. Miscellaneous things are too distracting. This is even for my mother who usually doesn’t
People who care about sports have noticed it, and it seems that their problem is indeed serious."
So Edison took a serious look at Lina, and then said firmly, "Mom, you are right, I am really not very focused right now. If this continues, sooner or later something will go wrong, which may affect my life. I will definitely correct it in the future."
"Don't blame yourself too much, Paul. Eric and I have watched you grow up. You have been kind-hearted since you were a child, and you are very smart and energetic. You have never done anything big before, although you are not
He said, but Eric and I were very worried. There were some things that we could accept, but we were not willing to accept them. Later, when we saw your report, we realized that we were relieved, but we didn’t expect that there would be a change later. We actually didn’t want it either.
You are like this, but we also know that you are not the same person as before, and you are no longer the unknown Paul, so we have never interfered. Now that I can hear you say this, my mother is really happy. It turns out that you have not changed, and we are still the same.
A good son from before." Lina became more and more excited as she spoke, and eventually her eyes even turned red.
Edison quickly came over, hugged his mother's shoulders, and patted her back, "It's my fault. What happened before made you worry. Now I know that I'm wrong. I'm really too impetuous. Now listen to you
Having said that, I understand, I already know where my problem lies, and I will focus more on it in the future."
Lina was even more excited, and she shed tears now, "It's best if you understand, but you shouldn't be too conservative. There is no need to hang yourself on a rope. There is nothing wrong with trying more.
But you must pay attention to your bottom line and don’t be taken advantage of.”
"Don't worry, my son is smart." Edison was full of emotions now, thinking that no matter what, the only people in this world who really care about him and think about himself wholeheartedly are his parents.
Just when Edison was lamenting his life, what Lina said next made him vomit blood completely.
