After the game, the Wildcats players did not celebrate, but walked to the tunnel dejectedly, thinking they had lost the battle and lost the ball.
Only the Wildcat players knew in their hearts that they would receive a stormy reprimand from head coach McClop.
Sun Yi walked calmly in the players' tunnel. He wouldn't be scolded anyway, so there was nothing to worry about.
At this moment, Assistant Coach Smith came towards him and pulled Sun Yi aside to express his intention.
"Sun, two of your compatriots want to interview you. It will be good for you to go and have a look."
"Chinese reporter?"
Sun Yi was a little flattered after hearing this. He didn't expect that the news that he was playing in the NCAA would spread back to China so quickly.
According to his estimate, it will take at least March Madness to see Chinese reporters.
On the one hand, 3G networks have just been popularized at this stage, there is still relatively little information exchange, and no Chinese players have made a name for themselves in the NCAA, so there is not enough attention to this aspect.
The other aspect is that Davidson College is in the minor leagues and rarely gets national broadcasts. It can only gain higher visibility by reaching March Madness.
When he learned that a domestic reporter wanted to interview him, Sun Yi immediately tidied up his jersey, smoothed his hair, and after fixing his image, he followed Assistant Coach Smith to the reception room.
Pushing the door open and entering the reception room, Sun Yi saw the two people sitting on the sofa at a glance.
As a senior fan, these two faces are very familiar to him.
Introducing director Zhang Weiping and Su Qun!
Seeing Sun Yi and the others come in, Coach Zhang and Su Qun stood up immediately and shook hands with Assistant Coach Smith to express their gratitude.
After greeting Assistant Coach Smith, Director Zhang looked at Sun Yi excitedly.
"Hello, Sun Yi, hello, I'm Zhang Weiping, a reporter from China." Director Zhang greeted in friendly Chinese.
"Director Zhang, I know you. Your explanation style is very humorous." Sun Yi replied in Chinese with a smile.
"Hahaha, I didn't expect that Xiao Sun would always pay attention to domestic NBA broadcasts overseas. It seems that I am also famous abroad." Director Zhang said jokingly.
Assistant Smith saw Sun Yi and the others chatting, and they were also speaking in Chinese. He couldn't understand a word and felt a little embarrassed to stay.
So, he left the reception room on the pretext of having something to do.
"I have something else to do. You guys can chat for now. I'll come back later."
After Assistant Teacher Smith left, Director Zhang introduced Su Qun beside him.
"This is Su Qun, the editor-in-chief of Basketball Pioneer and a senior basketball commentator."
Sun Yi immediately expressed his acquaintance with Teacher Su and said a few polite words again.
After getting acquainted, Director Zhang got into the topic.
"Xiao Sun, you played very well in the game just now and were very versatile. Can you tell us about your basketball experience? We want to know about it."
“It was only by chance that I embarked on the path of playing basketball…”
Immediately, Sun Yi highlighted the key points of his basketball experience.
When Director Zhang and Su Qun learned that Sun Yi was actually not a professional basketball player, but a monk on the way, and it took him half a year to reach his current level of basketball, they were very shocked.
"This is a once-in-a-century talented player!" This was their evaluation of Sun Yi.
After learning about the intensity and duration of Sun Yi's daily training, they were in awe.
"There is no shortcut to success. Only hard work will yield rewards." Director Zhang sighed.
"Genius is composed of 1% talent and 99% perspiration." Su Qun was also filled with emotions.
An hour later, the interview came to an end, and Director Zhang made a summary.
"Xiao Sun, thank you very much for your cooperation. We will bring your story back to China for reporting and inspire more teenagers who have basketball dreams."
"Director Zhang, although it is impossible to copy my path, scientific and healthy training methods can improve the physical fitness and skills of domestic players." Sun Yi suggested.
He didn't want some young people in the country to be ruined by his training methods.
"Okay, I'll write it down."
After Director Zhang agreed, he continued: "Okay, Xiao Sun, I won't waste your time. The purpose of our trip has been accomplished. I believe we will meet again soon."
"Those two teachers, walk away slowly. I'm going back to the locker room."
After Sun Yi finished speaking, he and Zhang guided them out of the reception room, and then parted ways.
Pushing open the door to the locker room, Sun Yi saw all his teammates looking sad, including Curry.
"Go to bed! Look at this rhythm, Coach McClop has scolded all the players on the team!" Sun Yi thought in his heart.
When McClop saw Sun Yi coming back, he said, "Sun, you came back just in time. I have something to tell you."
"Can't I escape this disaster?"
Sun Yi panicked, and at the same time he saw Curry's gloating smile from the corner of his eye.
But things did not develop as Sun Yi thought, and there was a reversal.
McClop praised Sun Yi severely in front of the entire team, making him a little embarrassed.
The smile on Curry's face became stiff, and he felt a little uncomfortable.
It turns out that love also brings news, Coach McClop doesn’t love me anymore!
"Okay, that's all. I hope everyone will reflect on it when they go back, realize their mistakes and correct them in time."
After McClop finished speaking, he led the coaching team out of the locker room.
The Wildcats players breathed a sigh of relief and each took a change of clothes and went to take a shower.
After taking a shower, Sun Yi and Dabai Bian walked towards the dormitory together.
He didn't stay for additional training, fearing that he would be beaten to death by his teammates if he got involved at this time.
After returning to the dormitory, Sun Yi said hello to Dabai Bian, returned to his room, took out his pajamas and went to the bathroom to wash up.
After finishing your work, lie in bed and spend a certain amount of training points to enter the virtual dreamland for special training.
…
During the daily training the next day, Sun Yi found that the mental outlook of some teammates had changed and they were very motivated during training.
"It seems that the coach's words have had an effect." Sun Yi was in a good mood when he saw such changes.
What surprised him even more was that after the day's daily training, more players stayed for additional training, making the originally silent training hall lively again.
Head coach McClop and assistant coach Smith stood in the corner and saw this scene and nodded with satisfaction.
"Old man, it seems your words are working."
"The main reason why I have such great abilities is that they are top students and can master a few things." McClop replied with a smile.
"The players are starting to get on track, and the Wildcats will do a lot this season!" Assistant Coach Smith exclaimed.
"Then we have to work harder and not hold these little guys back."
McClop and Assistant Coach Smith looked at each other for a while, then quietly left without taking a single cloud with them.
Only a group of Wildcat players are left who work hard for their own goals.
