Chapter 49 No. 99 Shirt

"I will, thank you Mr. D'Antoni." Wang Fei said.

At this moment, Wang Fei has a very bad premonition in his heart. It may be difficult for him to get ahead in the Rockets.

"Mr. Tiger, the press conference is about to start, right? You can take Wang Fei to the press conference site." Mike D'Antoni waved his hand and said.

"Ok."

Fisher Tiger promised, and brought Wang Fei out of D'Antoni's office.

After coming out, Fisher Tiger glanced at Wang Fei and said, "Wang, don't feel depressed, Mike doesn't know you yet, so he doesn't trust you very much. Don't take his attitude to heart."

Wang Fei blinked.

He half understood what Fisher was saying.

After all, although he has worked hard to improve his spoken English, there is still a certain gap.

If Fisher Tiger spoke faster, he would not be able to keep up.

However, Wang Fei generally understood what Fisher Tiger meant. He nodded and said, "I understand."

"Wang, for tonight's game, I have a hunch that you will definitely not be able to play, because you have not been activated yet. However, you can watch the game from the sidelines and get a good feel for the NBA game, which is good for you." Fisher Tiger smiled and patted Wang Fei on the shoulder.

"Understood, thank you Mr. Tiger for your advice." Wang Fei smiled.

Although there was some conflict and contradiction between Wang Fei and Fisher Tiger when they first met, the relationship between the two is now pretty good.

Wang Fei knows that the relationship between Westerners is more direct, and they are often more honest than Chinese people.

If I want to gain a firm foothold in the NBA, I am afraid I still need to put in a lot of hard work!
Fisher Tiger said again: "Train well, you must first let Mike see your attitude towards training, you must be diligent and hardworking, and let him see the results of your training. Only in this way can you gradually gain His trust, his chance to play."

Fisher Tiger spoke this sentence slowly, and Wang Fei understood it completely.

"I will do as you say." Wang Fei said.

The two of them arrived at the scene of the press conference while talking.

At this moment, it is still too early to start the press conference.

No media reporters have come over yet.

They stood at the door of the press conference hall. Fisher Tiger looked at the watch on his wrist, shook his head and said, "It stands to reason that a reporter should have come by now."

Wang Fei smiled awkwardly, and thought to himself, maybe those American media reporters didn't think highly of him, and then, there were fewer reporters who came to listen to this press conference.

Just thinking about it, Fisher Tiger whispered, "Mr. Feigen is here."

"Fagan?"

Wang Fei asked. He followed Tiger's gaze and saw a white man walking towards him.

"Yes, Fagan, he is a reporter for the Chronicle, and his main coverage is NBA games. Have you heard of him?" Fisher Tiger asked.

"I've heard of some. He has written a lot of reports about the Rockets, and many first-hand news about the Rockets come from him." Wang Fei said.

"Remember, you must show him some respect," Fisher Tiger said.

"I know."

Fisher Tiger nodded to Jonathan Feigen with a smile: "Mr. Feigen, good morning! Nice to meet you, you look very good today."

Jonathan Feigen exchanged pleasantries with Tiger, but his gaze was fixed on Wang Fei.

"This is the newly introduced guard Wang Fei of the Rockets, right?" Jonathan Fagan looked at Wang Fei critically, and it was obvious that the expression on his face was not so friendly.

"That's right, he is Wang Fei, a very powerful Chinese kid. His running speed with the ball reached more than 8 seconds. No player in the league could have such a fast speed before." Fisher Tiger said .

"He's really skinny and looks like a gust of wind can blow him away. On the court, can he stand up to those big guys? Mr. Tiger, you know, speed is sometimes useless, NBA pizza The confrontation is very fierce, and any reasonable collision by a strong big player may knock him away?" Jonathan Fagan said.

"Haha! Mr. Feigen, your thoughts are exactly the same as when I saw Wang Fei for the first time. His physical condition is really poor. However, what I want to say is that during the competition, His confrontation ability is not bad, because he is too agile, and the big men can't keep up with his speed and frequency. To tell the truth, Mr. Feigen, I had a one-on-one PK with Wang Fei, and I lost badly." Fisher Tiger said.

"Really? I really didn't see that at all." Jonathan Feigen shook his head and said.

"Mr. Fagan, haven't you watched the video of Wang Fei's game? You know, there are many American foreign players in China's CBA league. Some foreign players have performed very well in the NBA. For example, Derek William James was a good player in the NBA," Fisher Tiger said.

"Those are all past players, Mr. Tiger, you know, only past players who can't play in the NBA will seek development in the CBA. Real superstars will not go to low-level leagues like the CBA. "Jonathan Fagan said.

Wang Feixin said, it seems that this Mr. Feigen doesn't think highly of him either.

Obviously, this "Houston Chronicle" reporter has a deep prejudice against China's CBA league and China's basketball players.

If you want to reverse this prejudice, you can only do it through your excellent performance in the game.

When Yao Ming first joined the NBA, he also encountered all kinds of doubts and cold eyes. Like Barkley once predicted, he said that Yao Ming would be the weakest parallel importer in NBA draft history. He also said that Yao Ming Getting ten points in a game is the limit.

However, Yao Ming slapped Barkley in the face with his excellent court performance.

Now, this kind of doubt falls on his own head.

"But, Mr. Fagan, do you know that Wang Fei has a very accurate three-pointer. According to the rules of the All-Star Game three-pointer test, Wang Fei scored 29 points, and he only missed one shot. He will be an excellent shooter. He will definitely help the Rockets a lot, and he will become a stable output point of outside firepower." Fisher Tiger said.

"Maybe, everything is unknown. Mr. Tiger, you know, the NBA game is more intense, and the defense is more rigorous." Jonathan Fagan said.

"Yes, everything is unknown. What kind of height Wang Fei can reach remains to be verified." Fisher Tiger echoed.

"I think the Rockets are a little too eager to sign Wang Fei. Maybe you are too concerned about the Chinese market, but you know that Chinese players are not easy to use in the NBA. Except for Yao Ming, there is no other player who can play in the NBA. The NBA has achieved success. I think that Zhou Qi, who you signed before, is more capable than Wang Fei, but, as you can see, Zhou Qi can't make any contribution on the court." Jonathan Fagan said.

Wang Feixin said, did you give Zhou Qi a chance?Even if Zhou Qi was on the field, no one passed the ball to Zhou Qi.

Again, Zhou Qi has not been valued and cultivated by the Rockets at all.

If young players don't get the chance, it will probably be difficult to grow up, right?

Of course, Zhou Qi himself has some problems: he can't show efficient ability as soon as he plays.

As for the NBA, to be honest, the head coaches of every team don't have much patience for role players.

If you can't play a few games like Lin Crazy, you won't get any attention at all.

Wang Fei felt a little annoyed.

But he didn't say anything.

It's useless to say anything now, I can only hope that I can play as soon as possible, and then play brilliant statistics. Only in this way can I gain a firm foothold in the NBA.

After standing with Jonathan Feigen at the door of the press conference for a while, Morey, the general manager of the Rockets, also came over.

This was the first time Wang Fei met Morey.

Morey shook hands with Wang Fei and said, "Wang, you are too thin, and you are not strong enough, you should make yourself stronger and go to the gym to do more exercises."

Wang Fei quickly expressed his opinion: "I will, Mr. Morey."

"We are eager to get you, mainly because of your outside shooting ability. In this regard, you must remain stable and work hard, young man!" Morey patted Wang Fei on the shoulder and said.

"Okay, I will definitely not disappoint Mr. Morey." Although Wang Fei felt a little uncomfortable, he still spoke respectfully.

What else?
As a rookie who hasn't proven himself on the court yet, you just have to put your tail between your legs.

When the press conference time came, Wang Fei followed Morey into the conference site.

No matter what, the fact that the Rockets can hold such a press conference for themselves is enough to prove that they still attach a little importance to themselves.

At the start of the press conference, Wang Fei took a look at the media seats below. He found that there were really not many American media coming, and only a few American media came to make soy sauce.

However, there were quite a few Chinese domestic media, even reporters from Xinhua News Agency, People's Daily, CCTV, and Sports Weekly.

The conference was hosted by Morey himself.

"Ladies and gentlemen, today, we are honored to welcome Mr. Wang Fei to join us. First of all, let us welcome Mr. Wang Fei with warm applause." Morey said with a smile.

"Wow—"

The applause from the audience was surprisingly warm.

The Chinese media reporters who came to the scene applauded excitedly.

Morey waited until the applause stopped, and continued with a smile: "After negotiation, Mr. Wang Fei will wear the Rockets' No. 99 jersey in the future. We are full of expectations for Wang Fei's future performance! I believe Wang Fei will definitely bring us great results." surprise!"
