Chapter 280 Yu Jiahao: Pick and Roll is Lillard's Requirement
Zhang Manyuan then looked at Yu Jiahao, who was slightly bent over so that Wang Xiucheng could put his arm on his shoulder.
"I saw you set a lot of screens for Lillard today. Was that a team requirement?"
Yu Jiahao shook his head. "It was Lillard's request."
"Lillard?" Zhang Manyuan asked, puzzled.
“He said that if you can do a good job of setting screens, you can help Wang Xiucheng in the future,” Yu Jiahao said, bending down and speaking into the microphone.
Wang Xiucheng smiled wryly upon hearing this. Lillard was determined to believe that he and Lillard were the same kind of people.
Zhang Manyuan was slightly taken aback at this moment.
Lillard would actually say that to Jiahao?
Zhang Manyuan immediately looked at Wang Xiucheng.
Lillard certainly wasn't doing this because of Yu Jiahao, Yao Ming, or anyone else.
This face can only belong to Wang Xiucheng!
Only Wang Xiucheng has this ability.
After looking at Wang Xiucheng's face again, Zhang Manyuan turned to Zeng Fanbo.
"Little Zeng, you also got 6 points today. How does it feel?"
“Great.” Zeng Fanbo also smiled, which was rare for him. “My parents are in the stands, but I looked for them for a long time and couldn’t find them. Hehe, they must be very proud of me.”
Yu Jiahao suddenly interjected, "My mom and dad are here too, I forgot to mention, haha."
Yu Jiahao smiled sheepishly; he was genuinely happy.
"One last question," Zhang Manyuan suddenly became serious, "If the country needs you, would you join the national team?"
No one has dared to ask Wang Xiucheng this question directly.
Zhang Manyuan's question was clearly at the behest of CCTV.
At this moment, the entire nation of China was focused on Wang Xiucheng's answer.
Although people often vent their frustrations online.
The statement, "Wang Xiucheng shouldn't come back, he'll be contaminated," is misleading.
"Wang Xiucheng should not become a stepping stone for those lords."
Saying things like "You can't join the national team if you don't have tattoos".
But when that day actually came, deep down everyone still looked forward to it.
Although Wang Xiucheng had already worn that red jersey in the Summer League, that was only the Summer League.
"of course."
Wang Xiucheng's simple two-word answer once again excited all the Chinese football fans.
Without asking any more questions, Zhang Manyuan shook hands with the three people and watched them leave before speaking to the cameraman who was still working behind her.
"Three Chinese players appearing in the same NBA game at the same time, I don't know if this will never happen again, but it is definitely unprecedented. I believe the two teachers have a lot to say now, so I'll leave it to the two teachers."
Wang Xiucheng, along with the two others, went to Meng Chao and Tencent Sports again for another interview.
The questions were actually similar to those asked by CCTV, but all three answered them with enthusiasm and passion.
In the Penguin Live broadcast room, after the interview, Wang Meng routinely read out the data.
"For the Trail Blazers, Lillard had 36 points, Yu Jiahao had 6 points and 10 rebounds, and I won't mention the rest."
"For the Nets, Wang Xiucheng had 34 points, 9 assists, and 4 steals."
"Durant scored 29 points, Zeng scored 6 points, and I won't mention the others."
"The time is up to Teacher Yang Yi."
Yang Yi was quite calm at this point, at least that's what he thought.
"We witnessed history in this match." Yang Yi's voice was already hoarse, which showed what kind of state he was in before.
"But I believe this is just the beginning. As Wang Xiucheng said, this kind of situation will become more and more common in the future."
“We previously broadcast the game between Zhang Zhenlin and Guo Haowen in the Development League, and today we witnessed three Chinese players meet in the NBA.”
"Perhaps we are truly experiencing a golden age."
"It might be an era even better than Yao Ming's."
Upon hearing Yang Yi's words, some fans naturally agreed, while others disagreed.
Suddenly, the live chat started lagging again.
……
Wang Xiucheng returned to the locker room, first celebrating briefly with his teammates, then sitting down to make sure there were no cameras this time before taking off his shoes and picking up a banana to eat.
At the same time, Wang Xiucheng opened the system to check the task completion status.
[Task 1 Completed: 34 points earned, 340 system points awarded.]
[Task 2 Completed: 9 assists earned, 180 system points awarded.]
[Task 3 Completed: 4 steals achieved, reward 400 system points.]
[Task 3 Completed: Win the match, and the above rewards will be doubled.]
[Final settlement: 1840 system points.]
Seeing the reward of system points, Wang Xiucheng felt that the banana in his hand was even sweeter.
Wang Xiucheng, who was happily eating a banana, had no idea what was happening in China, in Yanjing.
……
Yan Jing, General Administration of Sport, an office.
A dozen or so people are having a meeting.
I even skipped lunch, which is quite unusual.
The meeting was about anti-corruption.
Just a few days ago, Tiezi was taken away directly from a training meeting, and many other people from the Football Association were also taken away one after another, making everyone in the General Administration of Sport feel insecure.
Various departments and associations began self-inspections, while also feeling anxious that they might be investigated again.
Right there, a knock sounded at the door, and a staff member walked in and whispered a few words to the person sitting in the main seat.
"Yao Ming is here? Let him in," said the man wearing reading glasses, who appeared to be the leader.
Yao Ming and Xu Jicheng were originally scheduled to attend the meeting, but both of them requested leave.
I didn't expect it to happen at this time.
The staff left, and Yao Ming and Xu Jicheng quickly came in.
The two of them didn't sit down; they just stood at the doorway.
“Boss, we have something to say,” Yao Ming said directly.
"We'll talk about this later, let's start the meeting." After saying that, he pushed up his reading glasses and was about to continue reading some documents when he noticed that Yao Ming and the other man hadn't moved and were still standing there.
Other than that, these two were much taller than ordinary people, especially Yao Ming, who blocked the entire doorway.
Seemingly sensing something was wrong, everyone looked at Yao Ming and his companion.
He took off his reading glasses and asked somewhat impatiently, "What do you want?"
These past few days, everyone at the General Administration has been on edge. Under normal circumstances, he would have criticized Yao Ming at least once.
"I think the chairman of the Chinese Basketball Association should have the decision-making power to select talent for the national team," Yao Ming said.
“You do have them, don’t you choose all the people?” said a bald man in his fifties sitting at the end.
After saying that, he picked up the teacup and blew on the tea leaves.
“But the people in the talent pool are chosen by you, and I can only pick people from there.”
Upon hearing this, the leader was taken aback.
Is Yao Ming here today to force Yao Ming to resign?
If anyone else had dared to stand in the doorway and speak to him like that, he would have already started cursing.
But today's person is Yao Ming.
"Let's talk about this later, today is not the right time."
"No, we have to resolve this today, or I'll resign."
As he spoke, Yao Ming actually pulled a letter out of his pocket.
Hearing Yao Ming say this, the leader got a little angry. "Nonsense, what do you think this place is? You keep threatening us with your resignation."
The expressions of the others also changed, especially that of the bald man, who even lost his appetite for his tea.
If he were to resign again at this time, something bad would definitely happen.
What would they do without this big guy blocking their way?
"Chairman Yao, the talent pool system and the national team talent selection mechanism were established from the beginning and have been implemented for many years. Their effectiveness has been proven. Next year is the World Cup. If we change this mechanism now and something goes wrong, who will be held responsible?"
Seemingly convinced of his own justification, the leader slammed his hand on the table as he finished speaking, instantly exuding an imposing aura.
Hearing the leader's words, the others nodded in agreement, their posture straightening slightly.
In these turbulent times, it would be best if nothing happened.
All the other sports associations went into hiding, fearing they would become targets.
But the Basketball Association wants major reforms?
Are you afraid the anti-corruption department won't see this?
But at that moment, the door was suddenly opened.
At the same time, an extremely deep voice came from outside the gate.
"Who's in charge? Look at us old folks, aren't we qualified to take responsibility?"
