Chapter 83 Press Conference
Chapter 83 Press Conference
After visiting the United Center Arena, Jiang Jun and He Mike returned to the Metro Queen Holiday Hotel.
When he arrived at Jiang Jun's room, He Mike helped him connect the network cable. Jiang Jun also turned on his laptop.
This laptop is the prize for Jiang Jun to win the Cuba championship a few days ago.
"Do you want to experience Chicago's nightlife? If you want, you can have a nap in the afternoon. Go out to visit the nightclub together at night." When talking about the nightclub, Ho Mike's body swayed gently.
"If you don't go, I want to chat with my friends. I wish you a good time!" Jiang Jun stared at the computer screen without raising his head.
"Okay, there will be a joint training camp press conference tomorrow at 10 a.m. I will come to you half an hour in advance. You can ask the hotel for dinner." He Mike said casually: "I have become your nanny, Jiang, when you have money in the future, you must give me a raise!"
"Ok! OK!" Jiang Jun browsed the NBA's web page information and suddenly said: "Oh, tomorrow is the time for the NBA finals to begin."
Mike He approached the computer, looked at the title, nodded and said, "The Los Angeles Lakers vs. The Boston Celtics. There is no doubt that Kobe will win. Of course, I hope the Spaniards don't be too soft."
As early as 2008, the two teams met in the finals. At that time, Kevin Garnett was at the peak of his career. Lakers center Paul Gasol was obviously at a disadvantage when facing Garnett. Not only did he lose, he was also labeled as a "soft egg".
Last year, due to Garnett's injury, the team did not reach the finals. The Orlando Magic encountered the Lakers with strong horses. Although Howard, the team's overall strength was not good, so they could only accept the ending of failure. In the process of fighting against Warcraft, Gasol performed remarkably.
Two years later, Gasol and Garnett encountered each other again. Many experts believe that the showdown between them will be an important part of the game.
"The time for this training camp is so strange. Many people are concerned about the finals. Maybe no one is paying attention to these rookies, right?" Jiang Jun asked.
"Maybe. But the reporters may come less, but those teams, especially those with poor performance, their decision makers are very interested in you. There will definitely be some big shots coming, and it will depend on you when the time comes." He Mike became a little serious.
Jiang Jun raised his eyebrows and stopped talking about this issue.
"Oh, by the way, Derek Ross performed pretty well this year. He led the Bulls into the playoffs, but unfortunately he met the Cavaliers in the first round, so he had to go home and fish." He Mike said.
Jiang Jun asked: "How is that Rose performing in the playoffs?"
"I'm a little impatient. I always think about pk with James, but it turns out he's still a little tender. But many people think he's doing well. In a few years, he'll shine. Only the sky is his limit." He Mike said: "You know, he used to be my teammate. But I dare say, you're really stronger than him."
Jiang Jun nodded seriously and said, "That's a must."
The two looked at each other and laughed.
"Okay, I'm going to go to bed. There are exciting programs waiting for me tonight. Don't forget the press conference tomorrow morning!" After He Mike finished his explanation, he shook his head and went back to his room.
Jiang Jun looked at the time. It was past 3 pm. It was estimated that the relatives and friends in China were still sleeping. So he opened his "Tanhua Shiling" QQ. Sure enough, the little penguins on it were all gray. So he found Zhao Bingru's QQ "Iceberg Snow Lotus". After thinking for a moment, he left a poem in the dialog box: "As a foreigner, Tanhua thinks about the snow lotus. He waited for triumphant return and admired his beautiful face all day long."
After finishing writing and reading it several times, Jiang Jun found it funny himself, so he clicked the send button.
Afterwards, Jiang Jun checked some information about Chicago and NBA online, and logged into the official website of NBA, sharpened his guns in the face of battle and recharged his batteries.
At 7 o'clock in the evening, Jiang Jun asked the hotel front desk for dinner and had a simple meal. He turned on the TV and fixed it on an NBA channel to watch some previous game videos.
He found that these NBA players are indeed not simple. Not to mention outstanding skills, the most valuable thing is that they can resolutely execute and play the tactics arranged by the coach, and some of them can perform magically.
Jiang Jun believes that once the sports competitions reach the highest level, they can actually give people an artistic enjoyment. In addition, the players themselves are the best athletes in this field, and their starlight is also the reason why the top sports leagues have many fans.
Just like a person who doesn't like football, he can't help but take a look at the stars when he sees the world cup shining. A person who doesn't like tennis may also pay attention to it once there is a peak showdown between Federer and Nadal.
The same is true for NBA. Since the players here are the best basketball players in the world, they will naturally attract more people's attention.
Jiang Jun asked himself that it is not difficult to do all the movements of these players by themselves. The difficulty is that a team is a whole, and there must be a strong coach or a team leader with appeal, and they must be pinched into a strong whole, such as using arms to use fingers to maximize their effectiveness.
If everyone is proud of their superb skills and fights alone on the court, no matter how brave he is, the team is likely to fail.
This is just like what coach Bian Kangxiong said about overall basketball. In collective sports, the strength of the team is always greater than the strength of the individual. Of course, outstanding personal strength may also drive the improvement of the strength of the team.
As long as the five teammates on the field can perform chemical reactions, Jiang Jun hopes that in the future, he will not only be a pioneer in siege cities and villages, but also an outstanding leader and general.
A vanguard may be at most a hundred people and a thousand people, while a general may be a thousand people.
Jiang Jun thought quietly for a while and had a deeper understanding of the relationship between individuals and teams.
There is also a benefit of having one person and one room, but no one disturbs you. Jiang Jun just used this time to practice Tianjun's Creation Practice.
After meditating for one night, Jiang Jun felt that he was on the verge of breaking through the third level, and he was only one line away from reaching a new level.
The next morning, He Mike came over early to knock on Jiang Jun's door. After the two of them had breakfast, they immediately rushed to a conference room in the hotel to attend a press conference. Jiang Jun found that few people came.
Seeing Jiang Jun and the other two, a thick middle-aged black man came over in the conference room, smiled and showed his neat white teeth, and stretched out his hand at Jiang Jun and said, "Hi, I'm Jack. Welcome, a magical boy from China!"
Jiang Jun shook hands with him, and He Mike introduced: "This is Mr. Jack, who is responsible for the draft joint training camp in the NBA league."
"Jiang, I've seen all your videos and information. Your physical fitness is really good."
Jack seems to know Jiang Jun very well. In fact, he is a very dedicated person and is very familiar with every player participating in the draft: "To be honest, Jiang, your country is very magical. I really hope to have the opportunity to visit your beautiful motherland."
"Yeah, welcome, Mr. Jack. If you need it, I can be your tour guide." Jiang Jun smiled.
"Thank you!" Jack laughed and said, "Please sit down."
At this time, some players and agents arrived one after another. He Mike kept introducing Jiang Jun, but Jiang Jun found that several players who predicted the draft picks he had seen on the Internet yesterday did not arrive.
It seems that this is just like the officialdom, and the most awesome people always appear in the end.
After a while, a few more people came to the door, and a fat man was led by him. Jack hurriedly went forward and hugged him: "Oh, great Mr. Feigan, we are all very honored to be here!"
Then Jack enthusiastically hugged a tall and thin guy behind him.
He Mike was a little nervous and whispered: "This fat man is the famous gold medal agent Dan Feigan! The one behind him is the biggest favorite John Wall, who is the No. 1 pick this time!"
Jiang Jun nodded. It seemed that the appeal of this joint training camp was quite strong.
Afterwards, some other popular players such as Evan Turner, Derek Fevers, DeMarcus Cousins and their agents also attended the event.
Danfeigan saw Jiang Jun, raised his eyebrows, walked up, looked at He Mike next to him, and asked Jiang Jun, "Are you from China?"
"Yeah." Jiang Jun didn't know why this fat man greeted him, so he nodded with a smile.
"Is there any agent? Your fellow countryman Yi, very good. I am his agent. I once helped him into the sixth place in the lottery. If you want, you can hire me and I will help you." Feigan said arrogantly.
Jiang Jun glanced at Feigen and pointed at He Mike: "I'm sorry. I already have an agent."
He Mike greeted Feigan with some nervousness.
"Aha, a young man? I don't know you. I think you should think about your future." Feigan said to Jiang Jun persistently.
When Jiang Jun saw this guy so rude, he felt unhappy and said calmly: "I'm sorry, sir, I don't know you."
A hint of anger flashed across Feigan's face, and a smile soon spread out and said, "Oh, forget it. My subordinates are all players in the lottery zone. Young man, I think you don't have much confidence in this draft, right?"
"I'm sorry, this seems to have nothing to do with you. I think you should learn to respect others first." Jiang Jun said with his eyes narrowed.
Seeing that something seemed wrong between the two, Jack hurried over to ask Feigan to take his seat.
Feigan frowned, stared at Jiang Jun for a few seconds before turning around with a cold expression, and walked to Wall's side in disappointment.
This fat man is not simple. As the agent of Wall, Howard Jokin Noah Vallejo, Yi Jianlian and Sean Marion, Feigan is definitely a big name in the NBA agent industry. Last time he worked as an agent for Yi Jianlian, he didn't expect that he would receive such great attention, especially from Chinese fans, which made him win both fame and fortune. So he tasted the sweetness. Seeing that Jiang Jun is a Chinese player and thinking of China's strong market, he wanted to grab his own under his command, but unexpectedly he encountered a nail.
But as famous as his reputation, Feigan is greedy and vengeful. He looked at Wall and other several of his players, his eyes rolled around, not knowing what he was thinking.
