When the news of Carter's reimbursement reached the United States, the series between the Hawks and Raptors went even less.

The commentary team sent by the Imperial Court Sports Station was also disappointed.

A basketball commentary that doesn't like to watch a good game is not a good commentary.

However, for the first time in the first round of the playoffs "led" by the Chinese, the imperial court sports station decided to broadcast the whole process, which is an established thing after breaking the blockade of the Blue Association a few months ago.

Cheng Lanxin shortened the CBA schedule to increase the national team training time, which almost destroyed the good development of the CBA in the early 90s, has led to the dissatisfaction of the General Administration of Sports, looking at the development of the NBA, there are still national high-level not so old and dizzy, it is said that Cheng Lanxin will be transferred from the position of director of the Blue Association after the World Championships this summer.

It is highly likely that Wei Yuanli, a senior official of the Blue Association Party who actively promotes basketball exchanges between China and the United States, will take over.

However, for domestic basketball, especially for Yao Ming, there is not much difference between anyone......

……

The older generation of domestic basketball people are really enthusiastic about domestic basketball and have a sense of belonging, and they are always worried about domestic basketball.

No, in the early morning of the game with the Raptors, Liu Mang was tirelessly facing a non-moving cylinder to practice a step-by-step layup that changed the rhythm, and Coach Zhang and a new basketball commentator came to Phillips Arena early in the morning to prepare, mainly to meet Liu Mang in advance and do a small pre-game interview for the playoffs by the way.

"Hi Ace, good morning, you really work hard, don't spare some energy to play the night game?" Coach Zhang is very relaxed today, after learning the news of Carter's season reimbursement last night, he has no worries about Liu Mang's first-round playoffs, although the excitement of the game may be reduced, but it is good to win.

"Hey, Director Zhang, do you have the physical strength, I can play ten games in a row!" Liu Mang said with a smile.

"Haha, young people are full of energy, let me introduce you, this is the director of the sports department of Xinhua News Agency, Mr. Xu Jicheng Xu, Mr. Xu and I will explain today." Director Zhang introduced domestic news people to Liu Mang, which can be regarded as a ride for Liu Mang.

Liu Mang smiled at Director Zhang gratefully, he knew that the more information dissemination became more and more developed, the media's public opinion would affect more people, and now it is obvious that the Blue Association said that Wang Zhizhi was "treasonous", and it was spread through the media, which really made Wang Zhizhi bear such an infamy for a while.

As long as it's not the kind of media that doesn't make up nonsense, it's always good to have a good relationship with them.

Moreover, Xu Jicheng ......

A nostalgic "old" commentary, before Liu Mang crossed, Xu Jicheng was already 60 years old, and now he is only in his early forties, in the prime of life, and his image looks much better than in his impression.

But there is nothing wrong with saying that the old commentary, Xu Jicheng, who was born in 60, began to explain NBA-related games after commenting on the Olympic Games in which the Dream First Team participated in 1992.

However, I didn't expect that the court commentator who made basketball skills and tactics interesting was actually a senior leader of Xinhua News Agency, and he was only known as one of the members of the Blue Association.

"Your Teacher Xu, I have admired you for a long time, your explanations are rigorous and interesting, I like your explanations every time I came to the United States." Liu Mang complimented, although he hadn't seen Xu Jicheng's explanation when he was young, he didn't know whether it was true or false anyway.

With a generous and cheerful personality, confident in speaking but not lacking in modesty, Xu Jicheng has a very good impression of Liu Mang: "Hello, I can also call you Ace, I heard that you don't like others to call your name, haha, in the future, we may have to deal with each other often and take care of it." ”

"Don't dare, don't dare ......"

Liu Mang always dislikes a pair of cousins who are familiar with each other, in fact, this is related to the fact that he can easily get acquainted with others, everything is relative, if the character is the same as a certain 21 shot 3 in a certain unnamed person, and the No. 24 player who even played 15 irons in the second half and rushed to shoot, the kind of character that doesn't even go to the marriage of teammates...... It seems that the younger brother of a certain pair of cousins still has a good relationship with him.

After the politeness, Director Zhang and Xu Jicheng conducted a simple pre-game interview with Liu Mang, and the camera was also set up.

"Ace, today is your first time participating in the NBA playoffs, what do you think and what do you want to say to the fans who support you at home?" With a real reporter, of course, Xu Jicheng came to visit.

Which style should you use to answer? Liu Mang still feels natural, and answers in his usual tone! I don't expect to have a high level of popularity.,That kind of thing can be there.,Forget it if you don't have it.,Don't set up any random characters.,It's troublesome to collapse when the time comes.。

"Although I haven't seen a pig run, I have eaten pork," Liu Mang smiled after speaking, "We are the first in the East, the best team in the East, we have three All-Star starters, the best small forward, and the best sixth man, we have enough self-confidence, of course, I also have self-confidence, so I don't have too much nervousness or anxiety, I hope to play a good game for the fans, of course, we won in the end." ”

That's really ...... Very confident! Xu Jicheng has heard that Liu Mang has confidence, but this face-to-face feeling is really completely different from that of domestic players! When I interviewed Yao Ming before, Xu Jicheng heard all the modest words, of course, that is understandable, he has not yet entered the NBA, so he naturally has to be modest, although he already has an unshakable position as the first favorite when he said that he would run for the election as early as the beginning of the season.

Jay Williams, who is now the No. 1 college student in the United States, later became the first player since Abdul-Jabbar to win the NCAA scoring title, Naismith and Wooden Awards, and the Final Four MOP at the same time. Even if he leads Duke University to win the NCAA championship and the Final Four MOP in April, and dominates the first place in the list of all college students in the United States, he is only the second favorite of the champion, and he can't shake Yao Ming's identity as the first favorite of the champion.

Yao Ming's overly humble personality makes the older generation in China actually quite worried, you must know that Director Zhang was not at all cowardly in the World Championships in the face of strong teams from all over the world, and he did what he wanted.

Self-confidence, and there is no sense of pride, but confidence in strength, it is difficult for this kind of person not to have a good impression of him.

The main thing is that Director Zhang introduced Liu Mang in advance and gave Xu Jicheng a good impression, and after seeing me, the impression was even better.

"Ace, your description is very interesting, I hope you can continue to be strong in the regular season in the playoffs," Xu Jicheng said with a smile, "Then tell us about your teammates, many players in the Hawks are not very familiar to domestic fans." ”

I even have a photo! That's really well prepared.

Liu Mang took the photos of his teammates and started with Rahim.

"Our best player is probably Sherif Rahim, I think he's the best small forward in the league, his offensive skills are beyond his position, he can play from three to five, and he is far stronger on the defensive end than expected."

"The center is our big man Theo Ratliffe, the best defensive player in the league."

"Speaking of pitchers alone, I'm probably the best in the league, probably...... Jason Terry, who could be our team's second pitcher? You can relay this to him when you interview him......"

Some players' names are transliterated and read in English with a big difference, such as Kobe Bryant and LeBron James, and the English reading and transliteration are very different, and Kobe Bryant didn't even know that his Chinese name was pronounced like that before Sabelin's lecture began.

But like Jason and Sharif, the transliteration is not much different from the English reading, but the tone changes slightly, and there is no continuous reading.

When Liu Mang mentioned Jason Terry, Jason Terry's ears that were much smaller than ordinary people moved......

Jason Terry has started a wave of interviews!

……

Liu Mang was introducing his teammates one by one, and suddenly two people came out from behind Liu Mang.

"Sharif, I seem to have heard someone say our name just now, I don't know if I heard it wrong?"

"Well, I heard that, too."

"It seems to be Ace's voice, did you say anything bad about us?"

"I think there may be, he often speaks ill of us."

"Do you think we should remind him to be careful, or he'll be beaten again?"

"Yes!"

“…… Enough is enough for the two of you! Here's my interview! Liu Mang 'angrily' pushed away the two English-speaking guys behind him who rubbed the camera.

Enough!

Or there are few interviews with foreign players, because they usually interview those superstars, such as Jordan, Maddy, Kobe, Iverson, etc., and have not been exposed to these players who are in the middle and upper reaches of the NBA but are not at the top of the popularity.

So Raheem and Jason Terry cheekily came to the interview, which made Xu Jicheng and Director Zhang stunned, and this kind of operation?

Of course, Jason Terry and Raheem were not talking in a small voice at all, Xu Jicheng and Director Zhang heard what they were talking about clearly, the two looked at each other, and they didn't know what to say, anyway, the team atmosphere seemed to be good, and the Nets had been in the shade before.

"Ace wait a minute!" Xu Jicheng thought that it would be better to interview together, anyway, he would have to conduct an exclusive interview with each of Liu Mang's teammates for a while, of course, the role players have young reporters from the commentary team, but the Eagles' five starters plus Liu Mang still have six interviews for the two of them to go to middle-aged and elderly, and one less is one.

The two people who rubbed the interview didn't know that they should have been interviewed alone, but the team's press officer hadn't had time to inform them, because Liu Mang's interview was the longest, and they were still preparing a draft for the two.

"Ace, tell us about your two teammates, domestic fans may not be familiar with them yet."

Xu Jicheng used English this time, and Jason Terry and Raheem listened to it! Dude is going to be famous in China!

Liu Mang "hated" looked at the two shameless teammates, he had seen them all sleeping in the living room with food and car, and it was the first time he had been interviewed!
