The next few questions were relatively routine. Zhang Weiping and Su Qun asked Li Kaiming some questions about life. They will put this interview in a column on the Huaguo Sports Channel to help Huaguo fans. Get to know this new Chinese top pick better.
Li Kaiming also knew everything about this. He used two words throughout this interview - sincerity. As long as Zhang Weiping and others asked no excessive questions, he would answer them seriously.
After an interview, Zhang Weiping and Su Qun got to know Li Kaiming better. Before that, they thought that Li Kaiming had been trained in America's system for so long and should be more similar to America's personality. people.
But after an interview, the two people had a new understanding of Li Kaiming.
Li Kaiming is extremely high-profile and domineering on the basketball court, but he has a relatively low-key and humble character off the court and in life. In other words, Li Kaiming is like an American on the court, but in life he is an authentic Chinese. image.
This kind of character makes Zhang Weiping and Su Qun very fond of him.
Basketball is a sport with strong physical confrontation, so being more active on the court is actually helpful for adapting and integrating into the team. Not to mention having a strong personality on the court can also gain benefits for yourself, such as allowing some people who like action to By stopping his hand, Xiao Xiao can also draw the referee's attention to him and avoid excessive whistle blowing.
The most typical example is the difference between Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian. When the two came to America, they couldn't speak the same language, but Yao Ming's personality is relatively more outgoing, and he is soft on the outside and strong on the inside. It seems that Yao Ming has a softer personality, but A person who can give the latter three big hats when facing the peak O'Neal for the first time must not be soft in character!
Yao Ming's personality allowed him to quickly integrate into the Rockets. After adapting for a season, he became the well-deserved core of the Rockets.
Yi Jianlian is a negative example in this regard. He has a relatively reserved character both on and off the court, so it is difficult for him to integrate into the team. Coupled with his bad luck, he always gets injured just after making a mark, so Only then have they fallen to the point where they are being traded at every turn.
Bullying the weak and fearing the strong exists in any industry, but it is more obvious in the basketball field, which makes a tough character more important.
Off the court, many players still maintain the same high-profile behavior as on the court. To put it bluntly, they regard the gang style in the slums as their life philosophy.
Although these players are easily worth tens of millions of dollars, some people look at them and see that they are just gangsters who are good at playing football.
If they hadn't made it to the NBA, these people would have died in gang fights on the streets.
This kind of lifestyle of football stars is almost impossible to accept in the eyes of Chinese people who advocate excellent traditional culture.
Therefore, Zhang Weiping and Su Qun were actually a little worried. What would they do if Li Kaiming behaved inappropriately in his private life? To be naturalized or not to be naturalized?
Fortunately, Li Kaiming is not such a person. Instead, it is his character that combines the strengths of America and China that has been affirmed by Zhang Weiping and Su Qun!
Zhang Weiping, who has been deeply involved in the basketball field for many years, even thinks that Li Kaiming's personality is the most suitable for playing professional basketball. He is full of passion on the court and conscientious off the court. He is simply the most perfect personality.
What surprised these two people even more was that although Li Kaiming had always followed the path of professional sports, his knowledge and conversation were not the same as the sports students in their impressions.
On many issues, Li Kaiming not only has his own opinions, but can also clearly explain it to Zhang Weiping and Su Qun. This shows that Li Kaiming has also put a lot of effort into improving his personal quality.
Looking at it this way, Li Kaiming is actually a perfect professional athlete in the eyes of these two people!
Zhang and Su believe that after this interview with Li Kaiming is broadcast in China, many fans will fall in love with the latter.
After the interview, Li Kaiming saw off the two guests who had come from afar and then drove to the MCI Center Arena, the home of the Wizards.
Tomorrow is the Wizards' first home show of the season. Sanders had already issued a military order after the last game. He must win his first home show!
There are only two reasons for Sanders to set this bold goal. First, the MCI Center Arena will definitely be full. This is one of the few games in the regular season where the arena can be completely full, so for the home game Fans, we must win this game!
The second reason is naturally the lineup gap between the two sides, which is also the source of Sanders' confidence.
Even if Arenas is still unable to play, Sanders is still sure to win the game. The reason is that the opponent in this game is the Philadelphia 76ers who won John Wall in this year's draft!
As a Wolong Phoenix team that also did not make the playoffs last season, the 76 Rao lineup is indeed not even a little bit worse than the Wizards' first two opponents.
You can even bite down the Magic and the Eagles, but are you still afraid of you, the 76ers?
These two reasons are only for the Wizards team, but for Li Kaiming himself, there is another reason, and that is because there is John Wall on the opposite side!
Before the start of the season, many people already said that John Wall was his biggest competitor. Li Kaiming said, what competitor? Is he worthy?
If I didn’t defeat him in this game, would anyone really think that I was on the same level as John Wall?
Of course, they were out of position during the game, so 76 Rao had to suffer as the starting power forward.
When he arrived at the arena, almost all his teammates were there, and Sanders was standing at the edge of the training ground holding a tactical board.
It's almost time to see Ran. Sanders gathered everyone and started today's team training.
The second session was the classic tactical video lesson session. Sanders stood in front of the projector, and the video of the 76 Rao game was played on the screen.
Sanders randomly cut a few shots, then turned to all the players, "The 76ers are a team with extremely poor three-pointers. Almost 80% of the points scored come from inside the three-point line, and more than half of the points scored." It comes from the penalty area, so our defensive strategy is set like this, stick to the penalty area, pinch the mid-range, and shoot three-pointers appropriately!"
The Sanders coaching staff has a sharp vision, and they discovered the biggest problem in the 76ers' offense at a glance.
This defensive tactic is almost like pinching 76 Rao Qinchun.
After the first team training ended, Li Kaiming and Sun Yi still stayed for additional training.
Yi Jianlian's sudden outburst in the last game gave Sun Yue motivation, so he trained extra hard tonight.
Yi Jianlian himself has also worked very hard. He seems to have figured out a little bit of the secret, a feeling of progress. Next, he will need more training to consolidate muscle memory and help him stabilize his level.
Watching these two people improve little by little under his leadership, Li Kaiming also felt a sense of accomplishment. The feeling of playing basketball sometimes comes not only from getting good data, but also from leading the team to victory and helping his teammates improve. High stakes for achievement.
After the evening training, Li Kaiming said goodbye to Sun Yue and Yi Jianlian, and then drove back home.
After Yi's training, the physical exercise and mental exertion were quite a lot, and he couldn't bear it anymore. After taking a shower, he went to bed.
Ming will be a big test for him and the Wizards, so he must get enough rest, otherwise it will become a joke if he overturns after the game.
What's more, Li Kaiming will never allow himself to overturn...
