Chapter 21 Versailles Interview
"Director Zhang, let's eat first, and then we'll talk after eating."
Lu Feng found a hotel with good privacy and ordered a private room with a TV.
In the past few months, Lu Feng's free time has been basically spent on training. The scholarship did not cost much at all, and his teammates would not call him when they went to nightclubs as a team.
In the words of Jeff Brown: "Forget it, Luck, you are only 16 years old, this is too early for you."
Booking a private room did not put any financial pressure on Lu Feng, and the hotel owner even gave him a discount when he saw it was him.
After winning LMU, Lu Feng's popularity in the American sports world reached its peak and he is the most popular athlete at the moment.
There are four major sports leagues in the United States. This is something that many people know, namely football, baseball, ice hockey and basketball. The NBA is still at the bottom among the four major leagues. It is completely incomparable with the late 1990s and the first decade of the 21st century.
.
Fortunately, the United States has inherited the tradition of being a big country that cannot play football well, otherwise the NBA might not even be able to enter the four major leagues.
But no one of the four major leagues can compare with the NCAA league, and among the various NCAA leagues, basketball is the most popular.
As the most popular basketball player at the moment and a player on a local team in Seattle, one can imagine Lu Feng’s popularity in Seattle.
I habitually changed the channel to NBC Sports Channel, and the program was talking about yesterday's game between LMU and the Huskies.
"In yesterday's NCAA match between the University of Washington Huskies and LMU, Lark Road made 25 of 34 shots, 6 of 6 free throws, scored 61 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists, leading the Huskies to defeat LMU. This is really crazy. He
He is not on the same level as other players at all, he should play in the NBA now!"
"Groom, are you serious? You know that Luck is only 16 years and 2 months old. Are you sure a 16-year-old should play in the NBA?"
"Isn't it? He scored 61 points in the NCAA, and Jordan's highest score in college was only 39 points."
Lu Feng: "..."
Jordan has become really popular in the past two years, and everyone has to give each other a try.
It's a pity that Jordan still won't win the championship this year. This year, the Pistons will win two consecutive championships at the final peak of the Bad Boys. Starting from next year, flagrant foul rules will be introduced.
But was Jordan's highest score in college only 39? Why wait until you get back and ask the NCAA what the highest score is and try to see if you have a chance to break it.
Today's sports news is basically occupied by Lu Feng. Since Gaithers did not die, he did not gain as much popularity as in his previous life. Presumably, he would not want to be remembered like that if he survived.
Lu Feng was very satisfied with the result, and Gaithers should be too. The only thing he wasn't happy about was the large group of reporters who came last night. After all, they were all a bunch of mad dogs who couldn't get enough to eat.
After Lu Feng and Zhang Weiping had had enough wine and food, they started the interview.
Zhang Weiping has no interview experience, so the so-called interview is just a casual chat between the two.
Lu Feng learned that Zhang Weiping came here with his lover, who is now studying abroad at the University of Chicago. He used to work as a librarian and cleaner at the University of Chicago, and his life was a bit miserable.
After Lu Feng became popular, he decided to quit his job and come here to find Lu Feng.
When Zhang Weiping came to the United States, he didn't just come to accompany his wife. In the original history, after he established himself in the United States, he constantly helped the national team to come to exchange and learn.
It was also because he brought back the basketball theory he learned in the United States. After the Chinese team paid more and more attention to shooting, it rose in the 1990s. Unfortunately, it was a pity that he later became more and more mixed.
"Xiaolu, how did you practice your English? I've been in the United States for two years and I still can't speak it well."
"I'm a quick learner, I'm born with it!"
Zhang: "..."
"In addition to English, I can also speak Japanese and Korean. After I came to the United States, I found that Spanish is also popular among them. I studied it and can speak some."
Zhang: "..."
This is heartbreaking. Is this the genius who got an offer from the University of Washington at the age of 15?
Lu Feng was engaged in foreign trade in his previous life and lived in many countries for a period of time. Among them, the longest stay was in the United States, followed by Spain. He did not intend to hide the fact that he could speak multiple languages. He just didn't want to change it.
Argument.
Lu Feng doesn’t mind packaging himself as a genius, he is what he is!
Zhang: "Xiaolu, if you just learn English, why do you want to learn what little Japanese people say?"
Lu: "It was because my grandfather told me every day when I was a child about how he used to fight Japanese invaders that I became interested in learning it."
Lu Feng's grandfather Lu Xinghe is 65 years old this year. He was born in 1925. He was a serf of a landlord's family when he was a child. Later he fought in the Anti-Japanese War. After the war, he stayed in the army until he was discharged at the age of 28 and gave birth to Lu Feng's father.
p>
Influenced by Lu Xinghe, Lu Feng's father, Lu Feng, left him to his grandfather when Lu Feng was 6 years old, and secretly went to fight Vietnamese monkeys, which made Lu Xinghe very angry.
Zhang: "Your parents are very strict with you, right?"
Lu: "No, they didn't care about me since I was a child. Only my grandpa took care of me. Later, after I discovered that I loved reading by myself, even my grandpa didn't care about me anymore."
Zhang: "..."
Why is this child so unable to speak?
Zhang: "Why did you think of playing in the NCAA?"
Lu: "I like basketball. When I saw the school team recruiting players, I tried it. I found that I was pretty good at it, so I quit."
Zhang: "..."
Is the fight okay? As expected of you!
Zhang: "You usually love studying, right?"
Lu: "No, I rarely read textbooks after class, but I read a lot of extracurricular books."
Zhang: I'm so angry, what should I do...Forget it, Lu Feng is still a child.
Zhang: "Have you never been to a sports school before?"
Lu: "No, I was only 1.65 meters when I was 12 years old. I didn't consider it because I was too short. I grow taller very slowly."
Zhang Weiping nodded, if this is the case, it is normal.
Zhang Weiping asked for a long time, and after clarifying Lu Feng's personal situation and family, he talked about Lu Feng's life after coming to the United States, and finally brought the topic back to basketball.
Zhang: "Do you usually watch NBA?"
Lu: "Look, of course!"
Zhang: "Which team do you like, which star do you like? Jordan, I think your playing style is very similar to him."
Lu: "Well, after Jordan started playing without the ball in the past two years, I feel better than before. I am also imitating his style of playing with and without the ball..."
"However, Jordan mainly plays without the ball, and only plays with the ball when the score is anxious. He and I will do the opposite, and we will play without the ball when the game is anxious. Unfortunately, we have never encountered that situation until now."
Lu Feng: Yes, I am Versailles!
Zhang: "Do you plan to play in the NBA in the future?"
Lu: "Fight, why not fight? Since I have the ability, I will definitely fight!"
Zhang: "Do you have any thoughts about joining the national team?"
Lu: "Of course there is, but I still don't know how to get into the national team. I'll see when the time comes."
As the afternoon passed, Zhang Weiping memorized a lot, including both the useful and useless ones.
Near the end, Zhang Weiping mentioned that he planned to let the national men's basketball team come to the United States for exchange and study, and Lu Feng agreed.
He knew that he was destined to be unable to escape the national team, whether it was due to the times or family reasons.
If he dared to refuse, his father and grandfather would probably give him a set of doubles.
In addition, Lu Feng also has a dream in his heart to develop national sports.
China has the largest sports population in the world, but the sports economy has failed to develop due to various reasons. Since he came back once, he must give it a try.
