Chapter 43: A Little Girl in the Holy City (I)
"Bell-" The alarm clock rings in the slightly cramped bedroom. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Qin Yan tried hard to open his sleepy eyes, his face confused.
After winning last night, Qin Yan finally attended the press conference, which was the first time Qin Yan participated in the press conference. But Popovich only asked him to answer some questions, and asked Qin Yan to get out of the way without waiting for the press conference to end, in the words of the old man, "There is no need for a rookie to answer so many questions, hurry up and go back to sleep!" ”
Of course, on his home turf, Popovich was generous enough to allow the media to ask some questions instead of just leaving after the last game against the Hornets.
Of course, the reporters at home are still relatively friendly, and basically don't ask too many weird and offensive questions.
For example, "How did you feel the first time you played at home?" "What do you think of the team? "What are your goals for the new season?" ”…… As soon as I heard these questions, they were raised by the local media, how gentle and understanding, and Popovich did not object to these people's questions, and their own treasures still have to be spoiled by their own families.
Qin Yan also greeted his own media with a smile, this is one of his strongest speaking teams in the future, and no player should be stupid enough to offend his media friends in his own city. What's more, there are a few people in this pile of people who are from the domestic media, that is the voice from the motherland, although the original Qin Yan has not returned to China in his life, but the sense of belonging of the bloodline and the belief that I am Chinese in the soul still make Qin Yan very fond of the domestic media.
But the media from Russia is not so friendly, after all, the Thunder defeated, and this Chinese kid is one of the important reasons for the team's defeat, and the Thunder's reporter friends must give their home team an outlet.
So their questions are also very sharp:
"What role do you think you play on the team?"
"Are you an important member of the team?"
"What do you want to say about being a rookie and being a starter?"
"Do you think you're better than Durant?"
……
Listen, listen, what's the problem, one trap after another is waiting for Qin Yan to jump in, and if he is not careful, Qin Yan will fall into verbal criticism, after all, Durant and Westbrook are very popular in the United States now. Qin Yan is just a rookie who has played two good games, and it is very unwise to offend these popular fried chickens now.
But Qin Yan's life is good, Popovich is famous for protecting his shortcomings, and to put it in layman's terms, he is the one who wants to move me, so he has to ask me if I agree.
So these questions have basically been blocked by Mr. Popovich, I knew that Popovich was famous for talking nonsense in the face of the media, what useful gimmick do you expect to be able to pull out from here?
So, what else can journalists say? Said that Qin Yan played a big name and did not accept interviews? They answered a lot of questions. said that he was evading the question, please let everyone see that it was the old man Bobo who was answering the question, and it had nothing to do with Qin Yan at all, let alone escape.
So this time, the media's plan to take advantage of Qin Yan's shortcomings in the face of the media to do something came to naught, and they had no other way than to complain.
But Qin Yan has other things to do today--follow the team to a certain high school to do activities.
Well, Qin Yan felt that this should be the legendary warmth sent to the grassroots level.
This kind of activity has always been a tradition for the Spurs, so the Spurs have a pretty good mass base in San Antonio.
In fact, Qin Yan didn't want to participate in this event, after all, it was finally ended back to back, and everyone wanted to take a good rest instead of running around.
But it can't be helped, this traditional activity has to be carried out, so someone has to do it. After some voting, the team finally decided that the older generation of Dior and "Huang Ama" Green would take Leonard and Qin Yan together.
No way, who made Qin Yan the youngest generation of the team, this year the team is a rookie, and Qin Yan is still a Chinese, has a strong market attraction. And Leonard is just a second-year kid, so this kind of activity is best for them.
And the older generation of Dior and Green, Dior wants to go by himself. Green, on the other hand, was drawn by lot.
Therefore, today should be the time to send warmth, Qin Yan reluctantly got up from his bed and began to wash.
At this time, Qin Yan's mobile phone rang, and it was Dior calling.
"Hey! Qin! Are you out of bed? Ready to go on a blast together? Dior's loud voice came from his phone.
Qin Yan had to hold the phone away from his ear, this Dior's voice was too loud.
And what does it mean to go to the sky? Is it to go to school, not to a nightclub, big brother, have you figured out the situation?
"Hey, Qin, you don't know this, there are a lot of high school beauties here, and they definitely don't look small~" This voice is really obscene.
Boris Dior, I didn't expect you to be an old driver! I thought you were a serious, romantic Frenchman!
"Okay, okay, I'm coming, let's meet at the stadium." Qin Yan was a little helpless, he felt that he would be damaged by these old drivers.
After washing, Qin Yan didn't eat breakfast, and ran directly to the stadium, Qin Yan is still living in the apartment arranged by the team, which is very close to the stadium, only 10 minutes to walk, and there is no need to buy a car. Because the rookie is still poor after all, although he is the leader, the rookie contract is really a bit unreachable, and he can save a little bit.
After Qin Yan arrived, he found that everyone was waiting for him, Dior came in a luxury car, and he also took Green with him on the way, and now the two are leaning on the car door to pretend to be cool, and Leonard is driving his own second-hand car, a rather low-key second-hand car, and now the little cute comrade is listening to music with headphones. Only Qin Yan himself came by running, and he lived the latest to come.
"Qin, why did you come so late, where did you go last night?" As soon as they met, Dior asked very obscenely, "Aren't you vain to come so late?" ”
"Boris, I'm a kung fu man." Qin Yan shook his head helplessly, he really couldn't do anything about these old brothers.
But he didn't say much, as early as the barbecue meeting on the day he joined the team, Qin Yan showed off a handful of empty-handed firewood, which surprised a group of people with the power of Chinese martial arts, so although the old fritters of the Spurs team would make jokes about Qin Yan, they would generally stop in moderation.
At this time, the team's press officer also came, and he explained to the four of them that he was going to a high school to play with the students, eat there, and listen to a class.
Qin Yan almost didn't react, what is this for? This is going to shoot a reality show, right? Didn't you hear that your basketball teammates still have this task?
But the three veteran members of the Spurs were calm, especially Leonard, who had already attended the event last year, and it was Parker who took him there. Duncan and Ginobili have been attending the event since 10 years later, citing their advanced age, but it's good to be honest and relax with the students, especially after winning back-to-back games, and enjoying the enthusiasm of their own people is the best way to celebrate.
Qin Yan really followed them to the Spurs team bus in a daze, oh, and the mascot of the Spurs came up with the little wolf!
On the way, Qin Yan looked at the scenery of the Holy City through the car window, the Holy City is still a city with not a good scenery, although he has been here for a while, but Qin Yan is usually soaking in the stadium, but he doesn't have much time to look around.
"Qin, don't be nervous, you are San Antonio's new favorite now, and there will still be a lot of fans among the students." Seeing that Qin Yan was a little absent-minded, Green thought he was nervous, so he smiled and spoke.
"Danny, what the hell is this event for?" Qin Yan was still a little dizzy.
"Qin, let's put it this way, our Spurs are different from others, this is what we are, basically there will be team activities every month, go to San Antonio to do activities with fans, increase their goodwill towards the team. Moreover, every newcomer must participate in it when they first arrive, so that fans can get to know newcomers faster. Dio was also rare to be serious at this time, and turned back to talk to Qin Yan.
However, Dior's seriousness was only three seconds, and he immediately turned into an idiot face, "High school, a lot of beautiful girls!" ”
Qin Yan turned his head directly, saying that he didn't want to chat with this obscene uncle. As for Leonard, this ice cube has been immersed in its own musical world today, completely isolated from the outside world.
After a while, the team's bus stopped, Qin Yan and three teammates got off together, this is a relatively atmospheric high school, and it is time for class, but because of the arrival of the Spurs players, there are still many people looking forward to it at the school gate.
Dior, Green and Iceberg Leonard still have a lot of fans in San Antonio, and there are still many students who go up to sign autographs and take photos when they get off the bus, and there are many girls and children who are busy taking pictures with the mascot Little Wolf, who is one of the best mascots in the league, and is naturally quite cooperative.
Compared to them, Qin Yan is still a little uncared for, although he played well in the first two games, but after all, there are only two games, and even the fans accumulated in these two games cannot all be students of this high school, and Qin Yan's yellow skin is indeed quite unique, the students regard him as a strange creature, although he dares to point and greet him from a distance, but no one comes up to ask for an autograph, so he is very leisurely alone.
"Alas, there is not a single person of the same skin color, let's have a yellow race." Qin Yan muttered in his heart, although there are Chinese in the Holy City, but after all, they can't be seen at any time, looking at the black and white Qin Yan every day is almost aesthetically tired, if there is a person of the same skin color at this time, it will definitely make Qin Yan excited!
It's just that Qin Yan didn't notice that a little farther away from the crowd, there was a yellow-skinned girl who looked about 15 years old who was watching the excitement with her friends.
This little girl has long black hair, a touch of baby fat on her melon seed face, big talking eyes blinking and blinking, and the most special thing is that there is a small beauty mole on the left side of the bridge of her nose, which adds indescribable cuteness to her.
So, who could she be?
