Chapter 23 Interview (please

Memphis played against the Tennessee Volunteers yesterday, and there was another game tonight, with Richmond. Although he had a home advantage, the bad start still showed the weakness of the Memphis Tigers. From the second half, Memphis began to chase points wildly. Ross and Sun Yang, the backcourt partners, showed a strong understanding. Both of them had strong breakthroughs and shooting abilities, which was definitely not as simple as 1+1=2.

With 3 minutes left in the game, Memphis had already reached 4 points. The situation was once again confusing. Those fans who left the court early would definitely regret their impulse today afterwards, because the last 3 minutes were so thrilling. Ross' two three-pointers magically tied the score like a life-saving straw, and Richmond also withstood the pressure and refused to give in.

When the game was 14 seconds left, Richmond still had a three-point advantage. The most important thing was that they still had the ball, and it seemed that they had won the victory in advance.

But before the game ended, everything was possible. After the kickoff, the Memphis adopted a foul tactic and Richmond core stepped onto the free throw line. His free throw percentage was 80% in this game, and he made 4 free throws. I have to say that the Memphis players were looking for the wrong person for fouls. Isn’t it equivalent to giving him a point?

But the next scene surprised everyone. He missed the first free throw, and the fans couldn't help but exclaim and sneer about rebirth after the disaster. Perhaps it was too much pressure, and the second free throw was missed again, and the rebound was picked by Memphis' Hasim Bailey. Even if Bailey passed it directly to Sun Yang, there was still 12 seconds left, and there was no time to delay it.

Sun Yang advanced two steps and changed hands behind his back. The defender came to the near midfield. Ross had already run to the frontcourt at this time. God knew how he did it. Sun Yang didn't think about passing the ball to Ross. At this time, there was no one in front of him and he could go blue, but that would be a point away.

After receiving the ball, Ross tapped and jumped high. His lethality was very limited on the outside, but the situation left him with no choice. He held the ball with his left hand and slammed his right wrist. The basketball drew a wonderful arc and drilled into the ring, bringing out a beautiful white wave.

With 7 seconds left, Ross's life-saving three-pointer tied the score, and the Tigers still had a chance.

Richmond served the backcourt ball, and the receiver was double-teamed as soon as he got it, but the referee did not call a foul. Ross was very compatible with the ball holdinger. Somehow he didn't hold the ball and fell out. Ross rushed forward desperately and slid out for several meters, looking extremely embarrassed.

Although the situation was tense, years of basketball qualities made Rose bent his calf so that he would not be blown away. After breaking the ball, Sun Yang quickly came to pick him up, and Rose passed it to him and then quickly got up.

There were 4 seconds left, Sun Yang knew that he could not hesitate. Even if the ball could not be entered, he could play overtime, so his mentality was very casual. The continuous disguised situation did not shake the defender's center of gravity, and Sun Yang had no choice but to force a layup. Under pressure, his movements had been deformed. The moment he took action, he knew that the ball could not be entered, and he was still a little lost. But a red lightning bolt soared into the air, and Ross had already followed up when Sun Yang made a layup, and he also jumped at the moment when the basketball flew out. Seeing the dunk from both hands, Ross' physical fitness amazing everyone. The scene was quiet for a second or two before thunder cheers. The Memphis scored five points in a row to overtake the score, and the time left for the opponent was only 1.4 seconds.

Richmond called a pause, and Memphis people still couldn't relax, and they must never relax until they ended.

After returning from the timeout, Richmond's crazy running position made one of them get the ball. After shaking off Sun Yang, he jumped out.

Sun Yang turned his head in the air. At this moment, the flying basketball attracted everyone's attention. Clang, the three-pointer from the outside hit the iron, and the rebound turned red to announce the end of the game. A few sighs were quickly submerged in the wave of cheering, and everyone cheered. This victory was too difficult. I believe that I would not have seen such a thrilling game in the next long time. The audience who were lucky enough to witness this scene had only happiness and expectations besides marveling. There are more than thirty games in this season. The night with Rose is really wonderful.

In the end, Ross scored a game-high 35 points and 7 rebounds and 5 assists, perfectly completing the coach's expected goal. After Sun Yang scored 15 points on the court, he still scored double digits in this game, scoring 12 points, 3 assists and 2 rebounds. His playing time was only 17 minutes. Such high efficiency has also made more and more reporters pay attention to the existence of this Chinese player.

After attending the press conference, Sun Yang got in Sun Ruolin's car and went home together. The Chinese reporter just asked him a few more questions and asked him if he had time to participate in an exclusive interview. Sun Yang and him decided on Saturday night, and the team did not have any games that day and did not need to go away.

Time flies, and soon it is Saturday night. Sun Yang goes out to call early and then comes to a coffee shop with exquisite decoration. Unexpectedly, the other party is earlier than him. He asks him what to drink and then asks the waiter to sit down without adding milk or sugar. This is not only an interview, but also a meeting between fellow villagers. In a strange country, as long as he speaks yellow skin, he can be considered a fellow villager.

Only then did Sun Yang realize that his name was Lu Sheng. Naturally, the two of them could not speak American language this time. Lu Sheng had turned on the recorder and could organize the interview records after going back.

Lu Sheng looked twenty-seven or eight years old, but in fact he was already thirty years old. He had lived in the United States for eight years at his thirties and graduated from a university of politics and law in Beijing. Later, he really didn't like the job of a lawyer and came to the United States to relax. Unexpectedly, this separation lasted for eight years. In addition to reporters, he was also a photographer. He could do what he liked and had no worries about food and clothing. This kind of life made him very satisfied.

After chatting about his situation for a while, Lu Sheng turned the topic to Sun Yang. He did not ask the questions that were very harsh and difficult to answer, but just chatted like a family-related matter.

Sun Yang was also very relaxed to chat with him. He has been here for more than four months. In addition to trying hard to adapt, he was studying, learning the team's offensive system, learning English, learning driving, and learning to remember the road. Everything made him tense all day long, moving forward as hard as an ascetic.

Therefore, this conversation seemed so rare and enjoyable, and I could let go of everything and speak freely. After two cups of coffee, the two talked about Fang Ai. Sun Yang turned his head and looked at a Citroen parked not far outside the window. He looked at the license plate that was Sun Ruolin, and I wonder what happened to her when she came here.

Lu Sheng observed his words and expressions and knew that Sun Yang wanted to leave, but he didn't force himself to stay. Today's atmosphere had reached the expected ideal, and he had to leave some space and topics for the next meeting, so he found an excuse for the two to shake hands and separate.
