The world's best combo guard

Chapter 44 [Press Conference]

Accompanying Li Hao to the press conference was Song Yu, a big-eyed beauty whom Yao Zhijun recruited into the team with the approval of Li Hao some time ago. She is 31 years old this year. She is an alumnus of Yao Zhijun and a top student majoring in journalism and media at Harvard University. Before joining Li Hao's team, she had Rich work experience, well-known in the US BDA company, and now serves as the team's media public relations.

The main task in the afternoon is to face the news media, so Li Hao hopes that Song Yu can help him so that he will not be in a hurry.

At [-] pm local time, at the Toyota Center of the Lakers training facility, the staff temporarily set up a stage with the NBA logo and the Lakers logo in the background.

And under the stage, media reporters kept gathering there. The Los Angeles Lakers have always been the focus of media attention, so this kind of scene is not worth making a fuss about.

What is strange is that among these crowded crowds, nearly half of them are yellow faces, which is more interesting.

People know that most of these yellow faces are directed at Li Hao, the No. 13 rookie, the Chinese defender, but obviously, people underestimated Li Hao's influence.

Just like what Lakers general manager Mitch Kupchak and head coach Phil Jackson are talking about behind the scenes.

"Phil, at least from the perspective of attention, Li did not disappoint us. We have reason to believe that at least half of the attention from China will turn from Houston to Los Angeles."

Ten minutes later, the well-planned press conference officially began. Not surprisingly, the team's general manager Kupchak presided over the press conference.

It is worth noting that Li Haoshi was the last one to show off his jersey.

When Li Hao was smiling, handsome and holding a purple-gold No. 10 jersey on his chest, Kupchak and Kupchak accepted the frantic flickering of the spotlight below, and the atmosphere at the scene reached its peak.

Whether it is the American media or the Chinese media, from the end of the draft to the present, they have not had a chance to interview Li Hao.

So at this time, everyone put in all their energy, shouted or waved, hoping that Li Hao would give them a chance to ask questions and interview.

Regarding this point, Li Hao realized it when he showed up in the training hall half an hour ago. Facing the dark crowd on the stage, Song Yu immediately said that she would negotiate with the team to make Li Hao appear on the field. The ceremony was last, so that the interviews could follow immediately after the display of the jerseys.

The team naturally accepted it readily, they wished that Li Hao could attract more attention.

Kupchak didn't know that Li Hao's oral English has made great progress during this period of time. Now he can not only communicate with others in English, but also understand what others say, so when he arranged for a translator When he got to Li Hao's seat, he was rejected by Li Hao with a smile.

This scene directly made Kupchak a little confused, and even the media friends below burst out laughing.

"Well, Lee, you're a devil." Kupchak spread his hands, expressing helplessness.

Everyone laughed again.

Closer to home.

Soon a reporter raised his hand to ask Li Hao. Song Yu sat next to Li Hao. She had done her homework. For example, under her introduction, Li Hao gave the first question to the mouthpiece of the Los Angeles Lakers. The Los Angeles Times.

The "Los Angeles Times" today sent an interview team consisting of 6 people, led by senior newspaper reporter Barry Satoro.

"Li, welcome to the NBA. What do you want to share with everyone about what is happening now?" Barry Satoro moved his body. He was very grateful to Li Hao for giving him this opportunity. His affection for Li Hao has improved.

"I, how should I put it, I... feel like I've stepped into the TV." Li Hao was a little nervous, this was the first time he experienced such a big scene in his career.

Of course, his answer is still humorous.

"Because for me, the only way to understand the NBA was sitting in front of the TV"

"Yeah! Li, are you ready to integrate into this place?" Satoro laughed, and Li Hao's answer made him feel a sense of humor. At least this guy in front of him made him feel that the future is promising.

"Of course, it's very good here. Everyone knows Los Angeles, and everyone knows the Los Angeles Lakers. I greeted Gary and the others, and they had a brief chat. They were full of enthusiasm for my arrival."

After a tense start, Li Hao is much better at this time, thanks to his strong psychological quality.

"Gary? He's a great player. Maybe you two will become good friends." Satoro's affection for Li Hao further increased. He increasingly decided that Li Hao was good. On the first day of the training camp, he had a close relationship with a player like Gary Payton. Communication, Satoro will definitely help Li Hao.

Satoro's questioning lasted for a few minutes, and soon it was the turn of the next questioner. Song Yu was very good at handling this kind of scene. Although she studied in the United States, she still had a good understanding of the national conditions in China. So she knew that it was best to leave this second opportunity to ask questions to the domestic media, otherwise there might be a lot of domestic accusations after the press conference.

Song Yu could even guess what some domestic fans would say. They said that Li Hao was gone, that Li Hao had no backbone and forgot his motherland. Song Yu decided that she did not exaggerate the possibility of such a thing happening. .

Because Li Hao made an agreement with Duan Feng from CCTV Sports that he would accept Duan Feng's live interview after the press conference, so Zhao Yun gave this Li Hao to Tencent Sports, a person who has a good influence in China powerful media.

Tencent Sports came here from China this time to obtain first-line news about Li Hao. The team they dispatched this time is not too small, led by the famous reporter Yao Yuan.

"Ahao, long time no see, it seems that your side has obviously changed, you are bigger and more solid."

Yao Yuan is more than ten years older than Li Hao, and Li Hao's nickname was "A Hao" when he played in the CBA, so he called him A Hao directly, and it sounded very close.

And the reason why he asked such a question at the beginning may have something to do with Yao Yuan's least confidence in Li Hao. Of course, this is not only the point that Yao Yuan is most worried about Li Hao, it should represent The voices of domestic fans on the other side of the ocean are that everyone is worried that Li Hao's physical fitness will be difficult to adapt to the NBA, even though Li Hao's physical fitness is already an alternative existence among domestic players.

"I have been in Los Angeles for the past two months. With the help of the team's fitness coach, Mr. Jesse Memori, I have successfully carried out muscle and core strength training. I am very grateful to Jesse"

Li Hao's answer surprised many people at the scene. For Satoro, he seemed to further enhance his favor with Li Hao, because he felt hard work and hard work from this young man!
