Chapter 122 The cover and interview with Times Weekly

After defeating the Lakers, the rivers and lakes fired a lot.

On December 2, the rivers and lakes received a call from Schwartz.

Schwartz's tone is very excited, even more excited than the last time I received a phone call from Nike.

Editor of Times Weekly Edward Felinsa Talt called and invited Jianghu to become the cover character in December.

Time Weekly, also known as "Times", was published in 1923. It is one of the first news weekly magazines that appeared in the past century. It specially opened a window for the new and increasing international reader group to understand global news.

"Time" is one of the three major current affairs weekly magazines in the United States, with a wide range of content, and follow -up reports on international issues and follow -up reports of major international events.

"Time" has the main American version, international version, and Europe, Asia and Latin America. The European Edition (Time Atlantic) is published in London, which also covers the incidents of the Middle East, Africa and Latin America.

ASIA) Published in Hong Kong, Pacific Version was published in Sydney, covering Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific Islands.

This time, the rivers and lakes were invited, and the cover of the American and Asian editions.

As a magazine, "Times Weekly" was selected as the top 500 in the world brand in 2016, and can get this honor, which is enough to prove how huge influence "Time Weekly" has in the industry.

The rivers and lakes have created the precedent of domestic basketball players. Earlier, Yao Ming logged in to the cover of "Times Weekly" twice, but it was the Asian version, not the American version of the American version.

Not a Chinese player in the Eight Classics.

Since the beginning of the new century, after Liu Xiang in 2004, the second Chinese athletes who have logged in to the American version of the "Times Weekly".

This is a huge honor, which means that the status of rivers and lakes has been recognized internationally. Mainstream media on the United States have to agree. The rivers and lakes represent the future of the NBA.

On December 2nd, the Celtics lost their back on their back to Los Angeles Clippers.

The first quarter of the rivers and lakes received two personal fouls, and the third foul was eaten in 4 minutes in the second quarter.

It seems that the referee was not satisfied with the counterattack of the rivers and lakes on the game, and gave him a continuous foul package.

The Celtics who had no rivers and lakes fell behind 19 points in the first half.

In the second half, the rivers and lakes almost gave up their own defense, led the team and the Clippers to attack, scored 15 points and 5 assists in a single quarter, led the team to bombard 41-28.

In the fourth quarter, the referee was offline, but the super sixth -person Louis Williams of the Clippers was soaring again, 6 of 6 shots in a single quarter, 6 of 6 of 6 of 6, and 21 points in a single quarter, and finally led the Clippers.

Double -killed Celtics during the season.

115 to 121, the Celtics lost this duel away.

Data from the rivers and lakes for 27 minutes to get 26 points, 3 rebounds and 5 assists.

Regarding the loss, the rivers and lakes are very calm. In the long regular season, it is impossible to maintain each game to win. Occasionally, it is understandable to lose.

On December 3, the Celtics returned to Boston, an exclusive interview with the Times Weekly reporter accepted at home, and took a cover photo at a photography agency in Boston.

On December 5, the latest issue of "Times Weekly" with rivers and lakes as a cover.

The cover photos of "Times Weekly" are very ordinary, without any dunk movements. The rivers and lakes are wearing black suits and a basketball in their hands to look at the basket.

Cover title- "Real Basketball Genius, Rivers and Lakes"

01, the birth of genius.

In today's NBA world, rivers and lakes are synonymous with "genius".

Since entering the NBA in June 2017, he has come to this world's most fierce basketball league in only 5 months to play a formal NBA game, which is only 2 months and 21 games.

In the past month, the rivers and lakes broke a number of records and created a number of history. The first game of the first game against the strongest player LeBron James today, he surpassed the 43 -point Chamberlain to become the first historical show score

The highest player.

Charlotte Hornet, who is against Michael Jordan, became the first player in NBA history with a score of 20 in 20.

In the case of the Lakers against the Celtics on December 1, the rivers and lakes scored 33 points, 9 rebounds and 9 assists in the first three quarters, and scored 28 points alone in the last quarter, breaking Walter Chamberlain for 58 years.

Rookie's rookie score record.

In addition, he has become the youngest Mr. 60 in history and the first 60 -double player.

After entering the league for two months, the rivers and lakes were cut three times 50+. It is currently ranked first in the league, leading all the players in the league.

His performance is undoubtedly the super genius that NBA has never seen before.

Like Michael Jordan and Tim Duncan, as soon as they entered this league, they began to rule this league and rule this sport.

Just like he ruled the CBA Finals at the age of 18, he ruled NBA.

02,Reversal boy.

Jiang Hu was born in GD Province, China in 1998. His childhood dream was to become an astronaut or a scientist.

His growth trajectory is very ordinary. Like all Chinese teenagers, he carries a heavy schoolbag every day, goes to and from school with the ringing of the school bell, returns home to complete various assignments assigned by the teacher, and studies hard for better academic performance.

Growing up, Jiang Hu's greatest strengths may have been his handsome appearance, excellent academic performance, and being good at basketball.

At the age of 16, Jiang Hu, who was studying in high school in China, awakened his athletic talent. His height exploded from 181cm for ordinary people to 203cm within a year, and he maintained good athletic ability, leading the team in provincial competitions.

My high school won the provincial high school championship.

Du Feng, the head coach of the Guangdong professional team, happened to be watching the game because his son happened to play on the opposite team. Although his son ultimately lost this ordinary high school basketball game, he discovered something remarkable.

His basketball talent is—Jianghu.

He resolutely brought Jiang Hu to the Guangdong South China Tigers, China's highest league championship team, with a two-year, 1 million contract. At the age of 18, Jiang Hu transformed from a high school student to a professional basketball player.

"When I reported to the Guangdong team, the team already had four insiders." Jiang Hu recalled, "Now I am definitely better than them, but that was not the case at the time, but I have always maintained a spirit of not admitting defeat. I know

As long as you work hard, your dreams will come true."

He was very uncomfortable when he first entered the CBA. The physical confrontation between adults was not something that an 18-year-old young man could bear, even if it was a Chinese league. He served as a substitute for the Guangdong team in the first season after signing.

In the first game of his career, he played for 6 minutes and scored 0 points, 0 rebounds, 0 assists and 2 fouls. In the second game, he only scored 1 point.

Regarding the professional league, 18-year-old Jiang Hu seemed quite at a loss, but Jiang Hu was not knocked down by difficulties, but continued to train hard.

Regardless of whether there are games or not every day, his training time has never been less than 7 hours. His love for basketball allowed him to persevere in the most difficult times.

All persistence will eventually be rewarded, and all sweat will eventually turn into achievements.

After training day after day, Jiang Hu soon made huge growth. He is in the age group with the fastest increase in goals in his sports career. He is like a hungry sponge, constantly absorbing nutrients from everyone.

Jiang Hu recalled with a smile: "Everyone on the team is better than me. I keep learning various skills from them, and I feel like I have gained something new every day."

His strength is improving almost every day, and he is becoming familiar with the CBA and the style of play in the adult league.

Opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared. On April 11, 2017, the opportunity for Jianghu came.

At this time, the CBA has reached the finals. The Guangdong team's main power forward Su Wei was injured, and the second insider Zeng Fanri came on as a substitute and performed poorly.

This may be the luckiest injury in the history of sports. Without this injury, it may still take some time for Jianghu to come into people's sight.

Facing the CBA's traditional strong team XJ, they first fell behind 0 to 3 on the big score, and then fell behind 42 to 51 on the small score by 9 points. The team's star Yi Jianlian seemed to have tried his best, but to no avail

Jianghu came on the scene before halftime, scored 33 points, led the team to victory, and retained Guangdong's hope of competing for the championship.

He became famous in one fell swoop, and the Guangdong wonder boy reversed his title as the boy, thus becoming well-known to Chinese fans.

In the subsequent game, he scored 47 points, 62 points, 13 three-pointers, 48 ​​points and 15 assists.

Led the team to successfully reverse the comeback from a desperate situation of 0:3, completing an unprecedented miracle in sports history.

Recalling that round of the series, Jianghu's Guangdong teammate Yi Jianlian directly commented on the former's performance as "unheard of, he dominated the game"

Head coach Du Feng even said bluntly, "When I was coaching the Guangdong team, Jiang Hu was the best player in the team's history, and Jiang Hu's performance in the round against the Guangdong team was also the strongest in history."

03,Draft.

However, even with his unprecedented performance, Jiang Hu failed to get a good start for his career prospects.

Recalling the first moments of this draft, Jiang Hu showed a helpless expression on his face: "Scouts in the American sports world did not recognize the performance of the Chinese league. Even though I dominated the CBA's highest hall and won the highest honor, I remember

I was only ranked 10th to 15th in the draft rankings."

"Of course I want to be the No. 1 pick. There is no doubt that every draft player's goal is that position, and I am no exception."

Too thin, insufficient strength, not flexible enough, poor impact ability, dependent on the team's overall tactical arrangements, poor creativity, easily restricted, and likely unable to adapt to the NBA's intensity of confrontation and the NBA's three-point line.

These are the contents that appeared in the scouting report before the Jianghu draft, and this also made him almost buried.

"I looked at the performance of the players drafted at the same time as me, and I thought I was no worse than anyone else. I was the strongest player in my class. So I decided to go to the Chicago Combine to show myself to everyone."

Jianghu made the decision to try out at the Chicago Combine, which has the most rookies in the same class.

In the training camp, Jiang Hu shocked all team management. Lakers president Magic and Celtics president were both shocked by Jiang Hu's performance.

Recalling the training camp that day, Anji said: "I went to observe Jason Tatum at the time. We tracked it for three years. We planned to choose him as our team's cornerstone."

"The rivers and lakes are like suddenly appearing out of thin air. He ranks first in physical fitness and shooting tests, and is crushing. It is all around.

All, he turned the night into daytime. "

Anji's face showed a happy look, recalling: "I made the most correct decision in this life that day. No matter how many people in the management objected, I must bring him to our team. We missed Michaels.

I missed Tim, missed Kobe, missed LeBron, missed Kevin, and missed Stephen, I swear, I will definitely not allow us to miss the river. "
