Chapter 71 [Extraordinary confidence, season goals]

On the evening of the 13th, the Lakers held a press conference, announcing the signing of four new players and showing their jerseys. Guo Xu was the only protagonist, and the other three were all foils.

Nearly a hundred reporters came on the scene, almost squeezing the training hall that was not big, and all kinds of long guns and short cannons filled the press seats. It can be seen that media from all sides attach great importance to Guo Xu.

Audrey Jones of ABC Radio is also here. She didn't expect that there would be so many people today. According to this development trend, it would be difficult for her to interview Guo Xu in the future.

In addition to those reporters who usually go with the Lakers, most of the extra reporters come from mainstream American media, such as news channels; there are also some international media, rare European media and Asian media, all of which are unveiled in the Lakers Training Hall today. This situation is very similar to the story of Guo Xu's "Lin Crazy" in his previous life.

When Jeremy Lin broke out, five Chinese players had played in the NBA, but Guo Xu is now the only Chinese in the NBA.

Jeremy Lin's peak was as short and splendid as a summer flower, and eventually returned to ordinary. He had never broken any records, was not selected as an All-Star, and could not even be called a second-rate star. Guo Xu's career has just begun, and he seems to have unlimited potential to break the record.

The media likes to "super and kill". No matter what height Guo Xu can reach in the future, they are happy to promote him now. In the end, if his strength is not good, the media will form a group to step on him, and the whole world is full of news.

Some people asked Guo Xu about his thoughts on breaking the record in the summer league, some people wanted to know what he felt when he was selected as the last place, and some journalists had tricky questions.

A male reporter from China asked: "The information shows that you are a Chinese of half Chinese descent. Do you know Chinese? Do you know China?"

Of course, Guo Xu understands China and also understands the huge Chinese keyboard warrior group in the future. This question must be answered well, otherwise some keyboard warriors will say that he is a "banana man". From then on, he looks like a "little fairy patrolling the mountain" and looks at "Pi Ji Wan". It is naked hatred and an irreconcilable hatred.

No matter how white Guo Xu is, he is considered Chinese. White Americans care very much about whether their bloodline is pure. As long as they have mixed races with other races, they are not white. Even if you are one in 16 Chinese bloodline, you are also of color.

"Banana Man" is also called ABC (American Born Chinese), which initially pointed out that Chinese people born in the United States. Although they are also black and yellow, they do not know Chinese and speak authentic American English. They have been influenced by American culture and American education since childhood. Their way of thinking and values ​​are also completely Americanized, which is different from the previous generations who immigrated to the United States.

This title is really heartbreaking. What is Banana people? Are they all seeking life? Chinese people are discriminated against and bullied in the United States, smiling in front of others and crying behind others, but China looks down on them like this. They eat and drink all the time given by keyboard warriors? What are the big bad things that harm China?

When the keyboard warriors whisper everything abroad and say they are very patriotic, you dare to believe it? Think about what kind of thing this is probably the same. To put it bluntly, they are trolls. They have a grudge against anyone, and they will criticize whoever they catch. If they don’t live well, they will be shameful to others. They are villains who will help people hate others forever.

But I have to say that you can't afford to offend such people. They are really good at disgusting others, and you can't stop them.

Guo Xu directly answered the question in Chinese. "I know China very well. If you don't believe it, you can compete with me in Mandarin on the spot. I can tell you a story about the red carp and the green donkeys... Oh, forget it, this is too time-consuming, I'm afraid you will be thrown out by the security guard."

When a Chinese reporter heard that he could even make Chinese jokes, he showed a surprise expression. "You speak Mandarin so well, who did you learn from?"

"My dad." Guo Xu replied simply.

Other reporters were a little impatient, and Chinese reporters hurriedly asked another key question. "Would you like to take the time to accept an exclusive interview with Chinese media?"

"Of course, just contact my agent, you can choose the place." Guo Xu smiled.

He hopes that the majority of Chinese fans will know themselves, which will make their popularity soar. The development of Chinese basketball is about to enter a golden period, and the NBA's influence in China and the number of Chinese fans will increase significantly.

A foreign journalist then asked: "Do you have goals in the new season? What height do you think you can reach in the NBA in the future?"

Guo Xu thought about it and said seriously: "My goal in the new season is to become the best rookie, and my future goal is to be selected as the All-Star."

The reporters suddenly felt that this trip was worth it tonight. Perhaps everyone has ambitions and a very small number of people who dare to speak their thoughts in a blunt way. Guo Xu showed extraordinary confidence.

Of course, he dares to say that this goal is not difficult to achieve. In his previous life, the performance of the 2000 rookies was generally bad, and the data was bad. The All-Rookie Team could not even get together five people who scored in double digits.

The person who won the best rookie is Mike Miller, who averaged 11.9 points, 4 rebounds and 1.7 assists per game, and is a pitcher on the Magic.

Although the Lakers have OK combinations, Guo Xu cannot have too many ball rights, Fisher can score in double digits. He firmly believes that he can do it. As long as there are more assists, it is more than enough to beat Miller. The only variable is Jason Richardson, who can't guess what data he can get with the Bulls.

The reporter asked: "Your registered height is only 180cm but you have created two summer league history records, which has inspired many people. What is your secret? Do you have any special suggestions for small people who love basketball?"

Guo Xu smiled and said, "There are advantages for small people. If you really love basketball, just practice hard. When you learn to use your own advantages and pass those big people at speed, you will be half successful."

"Where is the other half?" asked the reporter.

"You have to throw the ball in."

The reporter asked: "Did you choose No. 58 because of the draft pick?"

"Yes, I want to leave a souvenir. The number 58 is not scary. People should not lose confidence in themselves because of a number. The identity of the last rookie is an inspiration for me. I believe many people will regret not choosing me in advance."

The reporter asked: "Is it your dream since childhood to enter the NBA?"

Guo Xu shook his head: "No, I was very introverted when I was a child and didn't like to talk. I have two good friends who like to play basketball, so my family asked me to go out and play with them more and communicate with others. Basketball has changed my life."

The reporter asked: "How is your friend's strength?"

"Jason Richardson was selected by the Bulls in the fourth pick. I think all fans will know him in the future. Just watch dunks. He is no worse than Jordan now. My other friend is Austin Nichos. He lives in Los Angeles and his dream is to become a Hollywood star. His second movie will start filming this month." Guo Xu did not forget to promote his friends. We are a combination of Niu X.

The reporter asked: "Do you have your idol in the league? Who do you think is the best point guard?"

Guo Xu said: "My idol is Jordan, he is the best player in the NBA. I think the best point guard is Allen Iverson. He has a similar figure as me. Not only has he become the No. 1 pick in the draft, but he has also won the scoring champion. He has many things worth learning from. I look forward to playing against him in the NBA."

Iverson received more All-Star votes than O'Neal last season, second only to Carter and Mourning, and nearly twice as many votes as Kobe. He is the most popular point guard, no one. 183CM point guard is just a saying. Which coach dares to let him defend his opponent's point guard?

The reporter asked some topics outside the basketball court, Guo Xu's hobbies, etc. He had too many hobbies and said a series of things as if he was talking, and Lei's reporters were not careful.
