Seven days later, Beijing International Airport.

"Whoosh...... Whew"

A flight back from the United States landed steadily, and after it stopped, the suspension bridge opened, and the passengers inside walked out one by one and walked into the long airport passage.

"Wow, look at them, they're so tall......!!"

Among the passengers, there is a group of people who are very conspicuous, all of them are super tall, there are several people who are more than two meters, and the rest are also around one meter nine.

At the front, several staff members were in a hurry, and they were starting to contact the follow-up work arrangements, the coach's face was solemn, and he was followed by the core figure of this team, Chen Jianghua.

"Losing all five games, China's U17 youth team defeated the United States"

The coach has even imagined what kind of media will report, according to the request before departure, although there is no reporter with the team, but after returning home, they will hold a short press conference, when the media will ask what kind of vitriol questions, the coach feels big at the thought of this.

"Coach."

Chen Jianghua saw the coach's thoughts, and said beside him: "Although we failed to win the game, but also let the opponent use all their strength to defeat us, there was a gap in strength, and the U17 hurdles were pressed to death, and the old players couldn't come, and it was normal to lose." ”

"That's true, but ...... Alas......"

The coach's face was full of gloom, and he shook his head and said: "Don't worry, I'll answer the questions at the press conference in a while, you don't have to say anything, don't be caught by the media." ”

Walking out of the airport in silence all the way, getting on the bus, the tired team members immediately fell asleep. An hour later, the bus stopped, and at the urging of the staff, everyone got out of the bus and walked into the office building of the Sports Bureau.

"Click, click, click"

As soon as I entered the conference room, the camera sounded constantly, and the team members who were shining with the flash were a little uncomfortable.

"Listen, everyone, don't talk too much for a while, just let the coach answer the questions." Chen Jianghua, as the captain, reminded so.

Sitting on the seat, the press conference began immediately, and the reporters of major sports media kept throwing out all kinds of tricky questions, which made the coach sweat profusely. Fortunately, there was a question and answer sheet prepared early in the morning, and with the help of the staff of the Sports Bureau, each question was answered without any jokes.

"Any questions? If there are no problems, this is the end of today's press conference. ”

The staff member asked loudly, and in the press gallery from the audience, one hand was raised.

"Coach, I have a brief statistical table provided by my American counterpart, and here is a detail I want to verify with you."

"This ......"

The coach was stunned for a moment, and looked back at the leader of the Sports Bureau, who also had a blank look on his face. This question was not on the list of questions provided by the media before the press conference, and everyone was not prepared.

However, at the press conference, several cameras were filming, and if you choose to avoid the problem at this time, I am afraid that there will be bad news.

The leader of the Sports Bureau nodded, and the coach took out a tissue to wipe the sweat beads on his forehead, and said, "Please speak." ”

"This statistic was compiled by the reporters accompanying the team in the United States during the game, and it is not particularly accurate." The reporter took out a stack of printed forms and said as he flipped through them: "I noticed that there is a player named 'Chen' in the statistics, who did not play in the first two games, and only played 13 minutes in the third game, but averaged 28 minutes per game in the last two games. ”

According to the statistics, in the third game, he scored only 2 points on 1-of-2 shooting in 13 minutes, in addition to 1 assist, 2 turnovers, no blocks and no steals. But in just 13 minutes, he grabbed 15 rebounds! ”

"Oh......?!"

The words spoken by this reporter made the other reporters present stunned, and they all became interested in this technical statistics.

Generally speaking, it is unlikely that there will be a special technical statistician to conduct statistics in this kind of practice match-type training competition, so the domestic media have not obtained technical statistics, but they only know the score of each game and how many points each team has scored.

I didn't expect that there were American reporters who conducted amateur statistics, although it can't be said how accurate they are, but as a basketball kingdom, the technical statistics recorded by professional basketball reporters are still very credible.

"Grabbed 15 rebounds in 13 minutes?? Is there such a player in the team? ”

"The name is Chen, it can't be Chen Jianghua!"

"Impossible, Chen Jianghua is a point guard, and he scored the highest score in the team in the third game, scoring 17 points, how can he only have such a performance of 2 shots and 1 of 2 points?"

The reporters discussed a lot, and the reporter who stood up to ask the question also nodded slightly, knowing that his bombshell had had had an effect, and continued with a smile: "It seems that my peers are surprised, but what surprises me even more is that this player named 'Chen' grabbed 8 frontcourt rebounds out of the 15 rebounds!" ”

"Whoa......!"

As soon as the reporter said this, everyone was in an uproar.

The reporters here are all veteran reporters who have been running sports for many years, and they know very well what the concept of grabbing 15 rebounds in 13 minutes, including 8 frontcourt rebounds, is what it is.

"Impossible, you have a problem with your technical statistics, right?"

"That's it, 15 rebounds in 13 minutes, and 8 frontcourt boards?? Absolutely miscalculated, miscalculated! ”

"Hehe......"

Hearing the discussion of his peers, the reporter had an even more smug expression on his face, waved the statistical table in his hand, and said loudly: "Moreover, in the next two games, this mysterious player grabbed 21 rebounds and 19 rebounds respectively, including 10 and 11 ...... in the front court respectively!" ”

“…… What did you say?!!! ”

This sentence completely made the venue explode, and everyone's eyes widened, and they couldn't wait to take a closer look at the data statistics table in the reporter's hand, and it was best to take pictures and videos.

You know, if such a number one person appears in the U17 national team, and it suddenly appears in the process of going abroad for training, it will be explosive news!

In other words, if you don't count the third game where he only played 13 minutes, this Chen averaged 28 minutes per game, grabbed 20 rebounds, and averaged 10.5 frontcourt ??? per game.

Everyone was completely stunned, this kind of rebounding performance can be called dominating on the basketball court. In this year's U17 youth team, it seems that I have not heard of such a strong inside player going abroad with the team, and the biggest player is also an outside player, which is the captain Chen Jianghua.

"So my question is......" The reporter looked at the coach and said, "Is this technical statistic basically true?" ”

"This ......"

The coach was stunned for a moment, and involuntarily glanced sideways at Chen Mu, who was pretending to sleep in the seat under the stage, then sighed and nodded: "That's right, it's basically true." ”

"No!!"

"Oh my God! This is a star of the future! ”

"Quick! Take out the list and take a look, who else is surnamed Chen besides Chen Jianghua?? ”

"Ahem......!"

Seeing the appearance of his peers scrambling to find the U17 list, the reporter coughed a few times, attracting everyone's attention and said: "You don't need to turn it over, I have already seen it." ”

The reporter took out a list of players in his hand, stretched out his hand and said a little on one of the names: "May I ask the coach, is this player Chen Mu who was just promoted from the provincial youth team this year?" ”

The coach looked at the list, smiled self-deprecatingly, seemed to feel a little ridiculous about his idea of wanting to protect Chen Mu from the spotlight, and nodded slightly: "That's right, this rebounding master is Chen Mu's ......!" ”

Hearing the coach say the word "Chen Mu", Chen Mu, who was drowsy and almost asleep, thought that the press conference was over, and left by name, hurriedly opened his eyes and got up, and said loudly: "Here!" ”

“…… That's him!!! ”

This voice focused everyone's attention on Chen Mu, and the reporters took out their cameras to take pictures, and the cameras were also aimed at this rebounding master.

"Quickly check the information of this Chen Mu, tonight's headline is him!"

"Find a way to ask the reporters stationed in the United States, contact the American reporters over there, and get this statistics! This is absolutely breaking news! ”

"Click, click......"

After a hectic sound, Chen Mu woke up like a dream, looked at the coach who was glaring at him angrily on the stage, and suddenly reacted that the press conference was not over, hurriedly stretched out his hand to cover his face, and sat down in the endless flashing lights, his tall body shrunk into a ball, eager to burrow into the ground.

"Coach, I also noticed."

The reporter was indomitable, knowing that he had gotten the most explosive news material tonight, and continued to speak: "Although Chen Mu has rebounded well, he doesn't seem to have any status on the offensive end, and his shots in every game are in single digits, and the most game, that is, the fifth game, is only 6 points on 3-of-5 shooting, and he didn't hit two free throws." ”

"Is this because of Chen Mu's lack of scoring ability, or is it a deliberate arrangement by the coaching staff?"

The reporter's question made the coach a little embarrassed, and shook his head slightly: "Chen Mu, a player, has first-class physical fitness, but his basic skills are not solid enough, so when our coaching staff sets up offensive tactics, we haven't considered arranging singles tactic......s for him for the time being."

After that, no one paid attention to the coach's words, and all the attention of reporters was focused on Chen Mu alone. How much can this rebounding master, who has just been transferred from the provincial team this year, develop? can pick up more than 20 rebounds on the head of the American team that can run and jump, how high is Chen Mu's ceiling?

Some reporters began to write scripts on the spot, and the backstage colleagues got the news and dug out all the information about Chen Mu, how old he is, what his strength is, the performance of the provincial team, the performance of the U17 youth team, why there are few opportunities to play before going to the United States to practice, and the technical characteristics...... Wait, wait, everything about Chen Mu was instantly exposed to the media.

"Haha, Chen Mu, are you ready~?"

Chen Mu still lowered his head, not daring to look at the coach's eyes that wanted to kill people, but Chen Jianghua's words came from his side.

"Uh...... What are you ready for? Chen Mu looked up and wondered.

Chen Jianghua smiled mysteriously, as if remembering the time when he became famous a few years ago because of a 360 dunk, stretched out his hand and patted Chen Mu's shoulder meaningfully and said:

"Are you ready to make a name for yourself......?"
