NBA: At the beginning, the Polish star was so angry that he was reborn

When Yi Tian was getting ready for the interview, he happened to see Nowitzki ready to leave after the interview.

When Nowitzki saw Yi Tian, ​​he extended his hand friendly and said with a smile, "My amazing Chinese kid, you played really well today."

Yi Tian was a little flattered, and quickly held Nowitzki's hand, and said, "It's so gratifying to get your approval, I think I won't be able to sleep with excitement."

"Hmph, don't be complacent." A cold snort came from the side.

It turned out to be Kidd, and his mood today is not beautiful.

Nowitzki looked at Kidd who left quickly and explained: "Jason is actually a good guy, just a little bit competitive."

Yi Tian just wanted to strike up a conversation.

Kobe, who was already seated in front of the interview booth, shouted to this side: "Yi, come here, I'll wait for you."

Yi Tian smiled at Nowitzki, and said: "I can understand, you know, who can compare to Kobe when it comes to competitiveness."

Nowitzki nodded in agreement and said, "Go ahead, don't keep Kobe waiting."

After Yi Tian took his seat, the media in the audience couldn't wait to start the interview.

The first question was asked by a female reporter from the Los Angeles Daily, and her question was normal.

"Kobe, in this game, you scored 46 points in just three quarters. Are you satisfied with your state?"

After listening to this question, Kobe thought for a while and smiled: "For a player ranked seventh in the league, I played pretty well tonight."

Kobe's answer obviously surprised the reporters, and they discovered that Kobe was still the "black mamba" who must report.

Before the start of the season, when Kobe was ranked seventh on the player list by ESPN, many media expected Kobe to fight back.

But Kobe didn't seem to care, even if someone mentioned it, he just laughed it off.

When everyone thought this incident was about to pass, Kobe responded with his own actions.

Kobe led the Lakers with outstanding performance. After beating the defending champion Mavericks in three quarters, he told everyone that this is what you call "ranked seventh"?

The reporters in the audience were very happy, and Kobe's answer was undoubtedly a good material.

"Kobe, you were swept away by the Mavericks in the playoffs last season and missed the three-peat. How did you adjust during the offseason? What changes did the team make?"

Kobe pursed his lips and said: "No special adjustments, I just started training normally, and I use the offseason every year to improve myself."

"If there is anything special, my knee underwent a simple minimal trauma, and my legs are full of strength, as if I have returned to the age of 27."

"As for the team, the original framework has been maintained. In the past four years, we have won the most games in the league. Our lineup is still competitive, and of course we have added some fresh blood."

Kobe smiled and looked at Yi Tian: "He performed very well today, and the fans gave him the biggest cheers, second only to me."

The media were all amused by Kobe.

"Kobe, are you satisfied with Yi Tian's performance tonight?"

"What? 30 points in the first show? I didn't score a single point back then."

Kobe looked at many eager reporters and said, "I think you can ask Yi, I've finished what I want to say."

After speaking, Kobe directly moved the microphone away from his body.

The reporters saw Kobe's statement and knew that Kobe would not say anything more today, so they turned the microphone to Yi Tian.

"Yi Tian, ​​your performance today was great. When the team was in trouble, your playing changed the situation of the game. Do you have anything to say?"

"In fact, I just made some shots that should be made on the court and scored some fast breaks. Thanks to Kobe's attraction to defense, I got a lot of open space." Yi Tian is very humble.

"We noticed that you made a lot of three-pointers today, and the scout report said you didn't have three-pointers. What did you do to improve your three-pointers?"

Yi Tian looked at Kobe next to him and said: "I have practiced three-pointers well, but I don't need to pay too much attention to the reports. After all, Kobe is also ranked seventh in the league by the media. I think this is better than saying that I don't have three-pointers." The score is even more outrageous."

"Hahaha." Kobe laughed out loud after hearing Yi Tian's words, this guy suits his appetite so well.

"Yi Tian, ​​you are playing as a substitute in this game, and Bynum will come back next game, does that mean that your playing time will be reduced?" The reporter asked an extremely tricky question.

Yi Tian was thinking about how to answer.

Kobe suddenly replied, "Don't worry about that. Yi's performance is so good that Coach Brown has no choice but to use him."

"Yi Tian, ​​we found that you have been outside the three-second zone in this game. As an inside player, have you ever thought that this style of play may hurt the team? Will you make any changes?"

The reporter of the Los Angeles Sports News was not forgiving, and Yi Tian remembered that this media was not friendly to Chinese players.

"What I did and what I should do was arranged by the coach. As a player, I just need to play well the tactics assigned by the coach and make some shots that should be made."

"As for why we didn't enter the three-second zone, do you think it's not enough for us to have Gasol and Bynum under the basket?" Yi Tian replied.

"But you are a big man with 211, don't you think you are wasting your height like this?" The bearded reporter just now was obviously dissatisfied with Yi Tian's answer and stood up excitedly.

"I think it's a waste of your height of 2 meters to sit under the stage. You should play in the NBA." Yi Tian said lightly.

The bearded man was instantly stunned speechless.

"Hahaha." Everyone present was amused.

……

The Lakers beat the Mavericks to get off to a good start, Kobe Bryant scored 3+ points in 40 quarters, rookie Yi Tian even scored 30 points in the first game and filled all the data columns.

Since Yao Ming joined the Rockets, the commercialization of the NBA in China has been very successful; however, with Yao Ming's retirement, there has been a shortage of Chinese players in the NBA. Therefore, the league is eager to find a new Chinese player as a benchmark to replace Yao Ming.

Now Yi Tian's performance is in line with the needs of the league, and he is in a high-profile team like the Lakers.

So after a lot of fueling by the league, the news after the game hit overwhelmingly.

"Kobe scored 3+ in 40 quarters, the Lakers beat the Mavericks"

"Black Mamba: Ranked 7th, hammering Nowitzki in the top three"

"Lakers rookie Yi Tian scored 30 points in his first show, chasing basketball emperor Zhang Dashuai"

"Staples' New Favorite, Space Yi Turns Out"

If it is said that foreign news may still be a bit reserved, then the domestic media in China is simply a bit "crazy".

"Emperor Yi Comes, Breaking Countless Records, The Only True God of Staples"

"Shock: Yi Di, the man Kobe is willing to support"

"The New King of Staples: Yi Di, Overshadowing the Black Mamba"

……

All kinds of news spread quickly, and Yitian's popularity was unprecedentedly high. In the past, only domestic basketball fans knew about Yitian, but now Yitian's name has spread all over the country!

Yi Tian is known as the man who surpassed Yao Ming, the hope of Chinese basketball!Some people in the know revealed that Kobe admired Yi Tian very much and planned to let Yi Tian succeed him.

It can be said that Yitian became famous in the first battle. For a while, countless Yitian "old fans" appeared, and many Yitian fans spontaneously established fan organizations to cheer for Yitian!

At this time, far away in China, Bob Deng Huade, the coach of the Chinese basketball team, is also paying close attention to Yitian's dynamics.

What he didn't expect was that Yi Tian's three-pointer was so accurate, and judging from the game situation, Yi Tian's shooting speed was also much faster, which was Yi Tian's biggest shortcoming before.

Now Deng Huade is also full of confidence. As long as Yi Tian maintains this state, the Chinese team is definitely worth looking forward to next year's Olympic Games!
