Chapter 287 285. I Didn't Think I Was So Strong

"Ace, interview with the New York Times..."

"I won't go! I'm exhausted! I won't go!" Liu Mang stuffed his head into his training uniform, and he wouldn't even go if he was beaten to death.

Liu Mang scored 50 points in a single game and received a lot of attention. There were too many rewards, and the fan base exploded.

But in terms of the media, this is more exciting for the media than the entertainment nature of the All-Star Weekend.

It seems to see a supernova rising!Just like the rookies who could get 50+ points in the previous eight rookie seasons, Liu Mang has become the darling of the media!
Unlike Iverson and Kobe, who also received much attention in their rookie years, these two have unruly personalities and have a bad relationship with the media.

And Liu Mang has always had a good relationship with the media. He is daring to speak, and has an introverted oriental style.

Originally, it was supposed to be after Liu Mang returned to Atlanta that various press interviews would come.

Generally speaking, this is the case. After all, the Eagles will not give too many interview opportunities in consecutive away games.

But the next opponent of the Eagles is the Wizards!

As soon as the Eagles arrived in Washington, D.C., they received a large number of interview requests from well-known TV stations, sports magazines, weekly magazines, etc.

Some, such as Sports Illustrated and Time Magazine, have to participate. One of these two is the leader of the sports magazine industry, and the other is the leader of the entire news industry and the earliest batch of news newspaper veterans in world history.

These two must be accepted, and there is no good fruit to offend these two.

So, on the afternoon of March 3rd, when Liu Mang arrived in Washington, he was interviewed by Sports Illustrated. In the evening, he was dressed up in suits by the team staff, recited a lot of official answers, and was threatened by Coach Kruger to answer according to the arranged answers, because Time had already given the Eagles all the questions to ask...

In fact, Liu Wei was not so repulsive when interviewed. Who doesn't want to be famous, maybe he doesn't care much, but there is nothing wrong with being famous, and it is not bad if you can make money if you can't be famous.

But this kind of interview is really tiring!
In the morning of the next day, he accepted an exclusive interview with ESPN, who had a fairly good friendship. At noon, there was a press conference, and Liu Mang couldn't take it anymore.

What is the New York Times this afternoon!
It's cheating, isn't it!Again!

Time Magazine is divided into many editions. Among them, the American version of Time Magazine and the New York Times are a business group. The former is a professional interview, and the latter is a periodical.

Time Magazine mainly reports on people and events with great influence. Liu Mang has almost started to have that trend now, just like Dayao, who entered the NBA in his second year, and caused a sensation in the United States. Of course, Liu Mang came faster and more sensationally than Yao.

The New York Times is a lot more miscellaneous, reporting on everything. The first issue of the journal includes entertainment, sports, politics and even agricultural and sideline news.

But even if the types are very different, they still belong to one group!Nima, you can just make do with it!There are two interviews!
Do not go to death!

In the evening, there will be a game against Jordan, buddies, save your energy and watch God!
Compared with the previous two leading media, friendly partners, and daily press conferences, the New York Times is indeed not at the same level as the first four. Team press officer Justy Kyle couldn't bear to see Liu Mang stuffing his head into his training uniform with a mournful face.

One day I will get used to this kind of life, no matter how much ability I have, I have to bear as much responsibility and attention, the road to superstar has a lot more things to bear than imagined.

The interview with the New York Times was not that important. The management of the Eagles felt that Liu Mang pushed it away. Anyway, the relationship between this rookie and the New Yorkers was not good.

Although both are the two major magazines under the New York Television Group, the US version of Time Magazine and the New York Times have never dealt with it.

Time Magazine still bears the pride of London's original Time Weekly, the pride of the empire on which the sun never sets. Even though New York Television Group bought the ownership of Time Weekly in North America, this department is relatively independent and has always looked down on The New York Times.

The New York Times also looked down on Time Magazine, a leading leader that has begun to decline.

The New York Times will definitely not say too many good things about Liu Mang, and the interview is only for the purpose of gaining popularity.

As for Time Magazine, the New York Times has been annoyed for a long time, and it specifically opposes the New York Times. Most of the questions given in advance are beneficial to Liu Mang, so it is necessary to disgust the New York Times and increase sales in the Asian region by the way...

……

In the locker room of the visiting team of the Wizards, everyone else went to accept interviews, greet people who knew the opponent team, and only Liu Mang who wanted to hide from the reporters and enter the arena before the game started.

Why are there so many interviews here in Washington?

It’s not because this is the political center of American imperialism. Almost all the larger TV stations, magazines, newspapers, and periodicals have reporters resident here, so those reporters who can’t push the Eagles’ legs can arrange several interviews with Liu Mang when the Eagles just arrived in Washington.

Liu Mang had just finished stretching and lay down on the small bed to rest to relieve his exhausted brain power.

It is indeed a tormenting thing to do interviews without turning into old fritters, much more tiring than playing games!
"Boom boom boom, Ace..."

There was another knock on the door and shouts, and Liu Mang responded subconsciously: "No interview! Justi, I won't be interviewed today if I'm killed!"

"Yo yo, Ace, it seems that he has become very popular recently!" The teasing voice continued.

Um?A little familiar, but not the team press officer, Liu Mang sat up and looked towards the door of the locker room.

"Depend on!"

Seeing the bohemian and domineering God Qiao, Liu Mang quickly got out of bed and stood up.

"Michael, why are you here?" Liu Mang asked in surprise.

"Thanks to you!" Jordan found a stool and sat down, took out a box with a fucking cigar in it, bit it on his mouth, and then... looked at Liu Mang like that.

"..." It took Liu Mang a long time to realize that this old guy wants to smoke big brother cigarettes!

It's really... well, brother, I'll smoke for you!

Liu Mang checked the closet, but there was no lighter...

"Well, I don't smoke, I don't have a lighter..." Liu Mang said awkwardly.

"Eh..." Jordan was stunned for a moment, but he was still a child, so he gave Liu Mang his lighter.

Liu Mang smiled and lit the cigarette for Jordan.

It doesn't matter what kind of face it is, as long as it is a basketball player who entered the NBA after Jordan won the first three consecutive championships, in front of this basketball god, he is a grade lower, he is a senior, the first senior in history.

Jordan enjoyed a handful of big brother cigarettes with satisfaction. Although he was not as clever as other juniors, this feeling was not bad.

At least this rookie doesn't have so many inexplicable minds!
"It's good not to smoke! Like I can't quit now." Jordan skillfully puffed out a few smoke rings and sighed: "However, Ace, you are too uninteresting. If you don't go to the interviews of so many reporters, you don't know that if you don't go, those people will come after me for interviews?"

Liu Mang was stunned. It seemed that this was indeed the case. The most popular basketball players in Washington right now were him and Jordan. Jordan, as the No.1 in North American sports, would be the most valuable athlete in North America and even in the world even in another ten or twenty years.

"But you're really good at scoring 51 points. I didn't get it back then. I don't know if the No. 8 kid who imitated me all day will be pissed off." Jordan couldn't help laughing as he thought of something.

"Unexpectedly, I didn't realize that I had scored more than 50 points until I finished the game." Liu Mang's first half sentence was still very modest, but the second half changed: "I didn't expect that I am so strong. Maybe in another ten or twenty years, Michael's record will be surpassed by me. It's not certain."

"Huh?" It was Jordan's turn to be stunned this time, and then laughed loudly: "Haha, then should I play for a few more years to increase my total score and make it more difficult for you? Haha..."

　Do not delve too deeply into the content of this chapter.

　　As for the update... It is impossible to be half-dead like this all the time. After the year is over and the time is fixed after returning to work, it will still return to the same as last month, with an average of close to [-] words per day.Of course, there may still be two updates... It's just that one chapter may be equal to two or three chapters for others, just get used to it.
