Duge's CCTV team who came to interview him was not all from sports channels.

Recently, CCTV is working on a special report on 'Chinese Youth in the New Era'. Coupled with the fact that the 2008 Olympics are getting closer and closer, the proportion of sports coverage is obviously increasing.

At this time, Duge was born just right. He made a name for himself in American college basketball at a rocket-like pace, leading the team to win a championship, and he also won the biggest individual award in the Collegiate League, beating the top three favorites.

What a thing to enhance the self-confidence of the Chinese nation.

Moreover, it swept away the stereotype of Chinese students in American universities, and invisibly improved the country's image.

Why can't a top student with a full scholarship in economics be the Most Valuable Player in the NCAA Final Four? What you Americans can't do, we Chinese can do!

In 2008, it was still very marketable to thwart the prestige of foreigners and boost the morale of Chinese. But ten years later, it seems that you have gotten used to it!

With the consent of the basketball team, Duge took the CCTV filming team to the Austin Basketball Center on the Westwood campus for an exclusive interview.

CCTV's reporters were very professional, and they interviewed Dug before. Interviews with NBA stars Kobe Bryant, Stephen Nash and Yao Shu, UCLA head coaches Ben Holland, Russell Westbrook, Luke Bamot and Kevin Love have been interviewed.

The men were full of praise for Dugg in interviews, and most of them mentioned a new term invented by ESPN, 'Snoopy Whirlwind'.

"So, do you think this 'Snoopy whirlwind' you've been whipping up in American college basketball is crazy enough? I went all the way from UCLA today, wearing the number 10 jersey the most, you became a veritable star player, and it took you less than 3 months to complete the process. How did you do that? The well-known CCTV host in a straight suit sat on a high stool in the center of the stadium and asked Du Ge questions in a very professional tone and very standard Mandarin.

Dugg smiled and said plainly: "It is indeed crazy to win the Most Valuable Player trophy in the Final Four when you are just starting out. But I don't really pay attention to these things, I just prepare for the game and then do my job in the game. So 'Snoopy' is calm for me because I'm in the very center of the eye of the storm. ”

Dugg's answer was flat and infinitely close to the standard answer.

The CCTV host thought for a moment, and then asked an interesting question: "So, have you ever been slighted during the competition?" I'm talking about skin color or height. ”

"It's something that's hard to avoid." Duge shrugged his shoulders, he didn't deliberately increase the antagonism, but said lightly: "On the basketball court, no one can win with despicable provocations or inexplicable superiority. For me, the color of my skin is my pride, and my height is their shame. ”

Duge's answer was very cultivated and powerful.

This made the host look at this 19-year-old basketball teenager in his heart, and he deserved to be a top student of the Anderson School of Business.

Later, the host asked Dugg about his thoughts and predictions for the draft.

Dugg deliberately revealed some information in this link: "Actually, the draft is just a passing scene for me. I've been guaranteed first-round drafts from more than one team. ”

When the moderator pressed on which teams they were. Dugg laughed and told him, "It's a secret. But it basically includes lotto teams, playoff teams, and big teams. ”

As the visit was underway, a crowd suddenly walked outside the gymnasium, and at the front was Bill Wharton, the second-most powerful supercenter in UCLA history.

"Hey, Snoopy! I heard you're here, so I'm here. I'm going to have to train your little Bill Wharton, or you're going to keep deceiving yourself as a point guard. ”

Bill Wharton greeted Dugg warmly, and then he walked into the frame captured by the CCTV camera.

CCTV didn't stop filming because of the tall man who suddenly broke in, because the photographer recognized the former NBA superstar.

"Are you being interviewed?"

When Bill Wharton spotted the shot, he didn't dodge. He was a born star. He hurriedly waved to the camera: "Hey, how are you guys?" I'm Bill Wharton. I'm now officially announcing that Snoopy will be my student and I'll be teaching him my full set of defensive paces, so we'll see. He's going to be the best center in the NBA! ”

Then, he began to take the initiative to talk to the moderator in English. He told the host how much he admired Snoopy, and he also told the TV audience in front of the TV that Snoopy would have a bright future.

Bill Wharton is very good at dealing with the media, and he went on to teach Dugg how to defend while he was filmed on TV cameras.

The CCTV interview team was very pleasantly surprised by Bill Wharton's cooperation, which added a lot of topicality to their interview, and I believe that it will bring great repercussions after the official broadcast.

After the filming was completed, Bill Wharton and Dugg stayed at the arena to continue their training.

Dugg is now moving relatively fast, but his thighs are not as flexible as his calves, so his stride is slightly smaller, but extremely fast.

This is also in line with Bill Walton's defensive philosophy: Bill Walton is a traditional center, and at the end of his year, the NBA didn't have a three-second zone. They're used to playing under the basket.

Dugg learned a couple of quick sliding defensive tricks from Bill Wharton.

In the evening, Bill Wharton invited Dugg to dinner.

Over dinner, Bill Wharton asked Doog if he would be interested in playing in Boston. Dugg looked at Bill Walton in some surprise, as a UCLA graduate super center, and your son is still playing for the Lakers. You actually recommended me to go to the Boston Celtics, my nemesis?

Bill Wharton smiled: "I just think your tough style of play fits in well with Boston." You know, I used to be a Celtic. ”

"Well, I'm not averse to going to any team, but Boston has to be ready to go up the pitch." Dugg's answer was watertight.
