After bidding farewell to "Taylor Swift," Li Yan went to attend the NBA's official press conference.
From now on, Li Yan will be the busiest player during the All-Star Weekend, playing in all three days.
The press conference was very normal at the beginning. The questions asked by domestic reporters and foreign reporters were all related to the game.
It was nothing more than asking Li Yan how he felt participating in the All-Star Game for the first time, and whether he was confident in winning the MVP.
However, when a reporter asked about Taylor Swift, the picture was taken astray.
"You are all entertainment reporters!" Li Yan felt overwhelmed: "This topic can be skipped. I hope everyone will pay more attention to my performance on the court."
"If you are really interested, you can interview Taylor Swift. She should be familiar with you. To be honest, professional people do professional things." Li Yan said with a smile: "I still prefer sports reporters."
"Hahaha!" Li Yan amused everyone.
Indeed, Li Yan is an NBA player, and playing basketball is his profession; as for life, if he keeps chasing him, he is not a reporter, but a paparazzi.
"Li, I heard that you signed a contract with Anta? Why did you abandon an international leader like Gouzi and choose Anta? Is it just because it is a Chinese company?" A reporter asked Li Yan about sneakers.
Li Yan wants to answer this question carefully. This is a good opportunity to promote Anta.
"Anta is a professional sneaker manufacturer. They have been working in the field of basketball shoes for many years and their products are very competitive. Their concept attracted me, and I have been wearing Anta." Li Yan said:
"Anta is willing to give everything to me. I want to grow with it, just like Hook and Michael Jordan."
hiss! Li Yan's words made many reporters take a breath. This guy's performance is not like a Chinese player at all. He is so strong that he directly compared it to Jordan.
You must know that Jordan counterattacked with the little-known Hook to defeat Converse, the boss at the time.
At that time, Converse owned "Magic" Johnson and "Big Bird" Bird, and no one expected Jordan and Hook to win;
Can Li Yan and Anta defeat the rising Gou Zi now? The top names under Gouzi's banner are LeBron James and Kobe Bryant.
It seems difficult at the moment, but at least with Li Yan, Anta's attention has begun to skyrocket.
The topic of sneakers did not last long. There was no other way. As a major financial backer of the NBA, Gouzi began to drive away people.
Li Yan shrugged, then squatted down to tie his shoelaces. Anta's smart guard basketball shoes showed up directly in the camera.
Wang Defa! The person in charge of Gouzi's publicity department was furious: "Quick cut, don't show a close-up of these shoes."
Then the camera moved to Li Yan's upper body again, and Li Yan said to the camera:
"The pair I'm wearing now is cost-effective and has excellent performance. Anta will then launch my sub-brand 'magiC', and my first pair of signature shoes will be available to everyone before the playoffs start!"
"Fake!" the person in charge of Gouzi.com pulled the NBA executive and said angrily: "A fine, a fine must be imposed, for advertising so blatantly."
…………
Li Yan came to the training ground for the rookie game to adapt in advance. Many players had already arrived before Li Yan came in.
The players were all chatting and the atmosphere was very relaxed. It was more like a Patty (party) than a training session.
Winning or losing is not that important to the players.
"Yo! The big star is here." It was Chris Paul who spoke.
Li Yan heard the unkindness in Paul's tone and frowned.
Li Yan couldn't remember when he had offended Brother 58, but he had never teased Paul.
"Why did you enter the All-Star Game and come over to play the Rookie Game with us?" Deron Williams stood next to Chris Paul.
Li Yan got the "answer" and his jealousy changed him beyond recognition.
Chris Paul and Deron Williams, the two strongest point guards of the new generation, are jealous because they have entered the All-Star starting lineup.
Li Yan didn't give Chris Paul and Deron Williams a good look. He walked to the first-grade side and started dribbling with the ball.
"Fake, why are you pretending to be cold?"
"He just took advantage of 'Answer' and 'Melon'!"
"Yes, we have two or three scorers around us, and we will perform better than him."
Li Yan ignored these gossips and would fight back against these guys with practical actions.
Professional players should behave like professional players, talk with the ball on the court and see who is the best!
Of course, not everyone is so annoying. When Li Yan was practicing, a tall and strong man came over.
Li Yan looked up and met a simple and honest smiling face.
Li Yan recognized this big man. He was "Baby Shark" Bynum, the future main center of the Lakers.
Bynum was a high school draft pick. Although he entered the league before Li Yan, he is even younger than Li Yan.
Needless to say, Bynum's talent, otherwise the Lakers would not have selected him with the 10th overall pick in the first round.
In the game against the Nuggets on November 2, 2005, Bynum became the youngest player in the history of the league at "18 years and 6 days old".
In Li Yan's impression, Bynum was known for his "cleansing, cutting and blowing". After leaving the Lakers, he deteriorated at a rapid speed, resulting in no ball to play in his prime age.
"Lee!" Bynum extended his hands in a friendly manner.
This surprised Li Yan. He had never dealt with "Little Shark" before.
His position is too different from Bynum's. Even when he played against the Lakers, he didn't have much impression of Bynum.
Li Yan also reached out and shook hands with "Little Shark".
"Hello! Andrew."
"Li, I am a fan of Taylor Swift. I particularly like her songs. I read the news and you two have a very good relationship. Can you ask her to sign an autograph for me?"
Bynum touched his head and shyly took out Swift's album.
"Uh!" Li Yan sweated. It turned out to be a fan of "Taylor Swift".
Seeing Bynum's hopeful expression, Li Yan nodded and said, "I'll ask her to sign the autograph for you when I have time. It should be fine before the All-Star Game ends."
"Great!" Bynum thrust the album into Li Yan's hands: "Please!"
"Lee, Taylor is a good girl. She is very talented. I hope you will not let her down." Bynum warned.
Damn it! Li Yan was shocked by what he just said from Bynum's mouth. Is this the love of fans?
"I support you!" "Little Shark" even looked a little shy⁄(⁄ ⁄•⁄ω⁄•⁄ ⁄)⁄
Li Yan was a little dizzy. He didn't expect that he and "Taylor Swift" would become fans so quickly.
This is too fantasy!
