Chapter 11 Press Conference
It seems that Joe and Garnett are two different players and don't seem to have much connection. After all, they play different positions.
But old Kenny's intention was to let Lin Yu develop himself towards becoming the team leader.
Garnett's ability to play key balls has always been criticized, so he is often considered not to be fit to be a boss.
No matter how good the defense is or how excellent the passing is, these are not the true attributes that a team leader should have.
The ability to attack at critical moments is the attribute that a team leader should truly possess!
Old Kenny was also afraid that Lin Yu would be too proud at this time, so these words could be regarded as a "warning" to Lin Yu to some extent.
Lin Yu knew that Old Kenny meant well, so he didn't say much.
As long as he develops step by step, whether it is shooting or the ability to attack at critical moments, none of these will be a problem.
"I believe that all of you can perform even better. Dominating the Big 12 Conference is not our end."
"We still have March Madness to play, and I believe with you, the Cowboys can make new history!"
"Now, Lin, come with me to the press conference! I believe those media and reporters can't wait."
Old Kenny was also preparing to take Lin Yu to the press conference.
Lin Yu naturally would not refuse the press conference.
Although in his past and present lives, this was the first time he stood under the spotlight.
But Lin Yu is very clear that as his strength and fame continue to increase, he will definitely be surrounded by the media spotlight like James in the future.
On the way to the press conference, old Kenny was also teaching Lin Yu some tricks on how to deal with reporters.
"In order to sell newspapers, journalists often ask questions that are difficult to answer. If you are not comfortable answering, just move on to the next question."
"If you are asked to evaluate your opponent, you should praise him. The stronger the opponent is, the more powerful you will be."
"If some reporters keep asking why you barely took any shots today, you can say it's because you gained weight recently and your touch isn't very good."
"."
Lin Yu had some understanding of old Kenny's tactics, which he taught by example, in his previous life.
After all, the future is an era of Internet and traffic explosion, with stars dealing with the media in various ways and post-match interview videos everywhere.
Lin Yu has seen a lot and has some idea of how to deal with the media.
press conference.
Coach Zhang and Yu Jia were also looking forward to the next interview.
Since it was the top management of the Central Bank who suddenly decided to let the two interview Lin Yu, they had no time to make an appointment and conduct a private interview with Lin Yu, so they could only come to the press conference with most of the reporters.
Looking at the crowd of colleagues in front of him, Yu Jia said to Coach Zhang with emotion: "Yao, when he played in the NBA last season, there weren't so many reporters interviewing him!"
"There are 82 games in the regular season. This is Lin Yu's debut. Can it be the same? Lin Yu was already popular all over the country before."
Before Coach Zhang could finish his speech, he was interrupted by the exclamations of his colleagues.
"Lin Yu came out!"
Translated, it means Lin Yu is out!
Then Coach Zhang saw Lin Yu come to the scene with old Kenny.
Click!
Click!
Click!
The sounds of camera shutters at the scene rose one after another.
What the hell!
I can’t open my eyes!
Lin Yu didn't expect that the reporters would be so crazy at this time.
When ordinary people take pictures, a camera may shake them so much that they cannot open their eyes.
At this time, there were a lot of reporters and the camera shutters were constantly being pressed.
One can imagine how uncomfortable Lin Yu felt being shaken. However, in order to deal with the reporters, Lin Yu had to smile even though he could hardly open his eyes.
Smiling on the surface, but thinking MMP!
This is Lin Yu at this moment.
As soon as Lin Yu and Old Kenny sat down, the reporters couldn't wait to start asking questions.
"Lin Yu, this is your first performance. What do you think of your first performance?"
“Can you talk about the video of you dropping the coin onto the top edge of the backboard?”
"Lin Yu, many people believe that your talent is the strongest among the yellow race. What do you think about this?"
"."
Facing the reporters with cameras and long guns, before Lin Yu could speak, old Kenny took the lead.
"Quiet! Quiet! I want everyone to be quiet!"
"Today's interview will be conducted one by one. Now please be quiet. Now please ask questions one by one."
Old Kenny, the senior coach, still had great weight in his words. The reporters also quieted down at this time and began to ask questions to Lin Yu in turn.
The first person to ask a question was a blonde female reporter.
"Lin Yu, this game is your NCAA debut, and you performed very well. Can you evaluate your performance in this game?"
This question seems to be a very common question, but if you look closely you will find that it is actually very difficult to answer.
There are only two answers to this question. The first is that Lin Yu praises himself, and the second is probably to be humble.
The most difficult thing here is naturally the scale.
Once it goes a little too far, the first possibility is that the media will exaggerate and give fans a sense of arrogance.
The second type is that if you are too humble, you will appear a little unconfident.
It may not be a big deal for the fans, but it is definitely a minus point for the draft.
In Goji Brother’s draft report, it was clearly stated that his shortcomings were lack of concentration and passion.
"I care more about the team's victory than my personal performance. I pursue victory, not my personal performance or what data I get."
perfect!
Old Kenny was also a little surprised at this time. He did not expect that Lin Yu, who was facing the camera for the first time, could give such a perfect answer.
Then the female reporter asked again: "What do you think of today's opponent, the Buffalo team?"
This question was within old Kenny's expectations, so Lin Yu prepared to blow on his opponent.
"The Buffaloes are very strong. They have David Harrison, the top center in the Big 12 Conference. They are an opponent that cannot be underestimated."
"Harrison's performance today was still very good on the defensive end."
Harrison scored 8 points, 5 rebounds and 4 turnovers. Lin Yu could only praise him for his contribution on the defensive end.
After answering the female reporter's questions, a female reporter with black hair and yellow skin began to ask questions.
No, they are reporters from China, but from the neighboring country of South Korea.
The Korean female reporter began to ask questions in slightly awkward English.
"Lin Yu, hello, I am a reporter from South Korea."
Lin Yu was also a little surprised at this time. He didn't expect that there would be reporters from South Korea coming to the press conference today.
"Hello, is there anything you want to ask?"
"As a top NCAA recruit, will you enter the 2004 draft?"
