The status of the imperial court in China is clear to all Chinese people.
It not only means high ratings, not only the unparalleled influence of local stations, but also official recognition.
Being interviewed by it is equivalent to being affirmed. Even if some people think that a player like Xu Ang who is not cultivated by the system is not pleasing to the eye, they would not dare to trouble him easily.
Although Xu Ang is not worried about some jumping clowns, it is also a good thing to reduce unnecessary troubles.
No one wants to spend their minds on trivial matters, especially disputes over trivial matters are optional. Xu Ang is not one of those people who has nothing to do all day except to brush his presence. He has too many things to do, so how can he waste his precious time and energy here.
After confirming the itinerary through Tang Lu and the people from the court desk, Xu Ang specially moved out the itinerary for that day, in order to make the effect of this exclusive interview well.
However, the era of coming to the United States from China is not as convenient as later generations. Even with the ability of the imperial court, Xu Ang would have to wait two or three days.
Fortunately, the team had a week of repair time after the victory over the Lakers. Who let Xu Ang and them win simply and neatly, leaving no chance for their opponents, not like the Houstonians at all. They played seven full games with their opponents, the Supersonics. field.
The Houstonians beat the Sonics 112-102 in Game 1, but they lost Game 2 101-106. In the third game, they won the second victory with a score of 97-93, and they chased after the victory to get three wins in the fourth game, 110-106.
In a series where whoever gets four wins first wins, the Houstonians, who have three wins and only one loss, get match point.
Just when everyone thought they could solve their opponents smoothly and meet the Clippers in the Western Conference finals, the Houstonians lost two straight games 94-100, 96-99 in Game 5 and Game 6, which surprised many people. Calling Houstonians to roll over.
Fortunately, in the crucial seventh game, Olajuwon and Drexler lived up to expectations, abruptly curbed the supersonic momentum, and smashed their opponents in the tiebreaker, with a difficult 96-91 five. The score difference won the opponent and reached the Western Conference finals.
Also entering the Western Conference Finals, the Clippers and Houston's Mosaic feel completely two extremes.
The Clippers led by Xu Ang first beat the Utah Jazz, which ranked first in the West in the regular season, and then defeated the Los Angeles Lakers with Shaquille O'Neal, and they all kept their opponents with a clean record. .
Watching the Clippers' game, not to mention the excitement, the win was neat and tidy.
It gives the impression that the Clippers did not use all their strength to defeat their opponents, and their strength is unfathomable.
The Houstonians, however, are the exact opposite.
They fought so hard to win the Supersonics, they played seven games, and it was not easy at all to enter the Western Conference Finals. It makes people feel that they have done their best just to enter the Western Conference Finals, and the chances of defeating the Clippers in the Western Conference Finals are pitiful.
"Don't ask me if I have confidence in the Western Conference finals. If you ask anyone in our team, there is only one answer, and that is that we will win."
"There is no suspense in winning the Houstonians. We are so confident when we have strength."
"As Barkley said, if the Houstonians can really beat us, they won at the beginning of the season, how could they be double-killed by us at home and away in the regular season?"
"It's always been like this before, let alone now."
"Our team has joined the general and the bus, and you are also reporting sports events in China. I believe you are no stranger to these two. I can say responsibly that their arrival has strengthened the depth of our team's bench and made the team's Weakness is no longer a weakness. With the help of the general and the bus, I have the confidence to reach the championship."
When facing the reporters from the imperial court, Xu Ang would not be stingy in his praise of Ryoda and the bus.
They are all compatriots, and when it’s time to help, they have to help.
In terms of effect, Xu Ang's words have indeed played a role, winning the favor of many domestic fans, and making his already high popularity in the basketball world skyrocket again.
Chinese people have always been like this. When they treat their compatriots and those who have good intentions for them, they will always take the most tolerant attitude and develop a favorable impression of them as quickly as possible. In later generations, those foreigners who casually said that Huaxia is awesome and that Huaxia is really good can become fans in China and earn real money, not to mention Xu Ang, a genuine Chinese.
Really speaking of popularity, don't look at Xu Ang playing in the NBA for less than a year. Before, he had no fan base in the domestic basketball industry, but when it comes to his popularity, he is no worse than Dayao at his peak.
In competitive sports, strength is king.
As long as you are strong enough and the game is exciting enough, you can quickly gain fans and make fans fall in love with you.
In addition, the Chinese people in this era are generally not confident enough, and they are very concerned about the opinions of others. Anyone who can make achievements in the world at home can become the pride of the Chinese people.
Perhaps it is precisely because of this reason that the so-called sixth generation in the film and television industry caters to the tastes of foreigners in order to win an international award, and shoots a lot of things that are messed up in the eyes of the Chinese.
In his first year in the NBA, Xu Ang dealt with all kinds of dissatisfaction in the NBA. He led the Clippers, the league's famous fish belly, to overcome all obstacles and also beat the Jazz first in the playoffs, and then Defeat the Lakers, cut melons and vegetables, and cut the opponents into the Western Conference finals.
What is strength?
This is it.
A rookie who entered the league in his first year, carrying the team to such a record, even the thorny American has to admit that he is strong, not to mention the domestic audience.
Many fans have become ardent fans of Xu Ang, and they are looking forward to Xu Ang's miracle.
Yes, it's a miracle.
After all, to win the championship in the hands of the Bulls led by Jordan, in their opinion, only a miracle can happen.
"Still not confident enough."
Xu Ang sighed, and he asked back: "Why do you think foreigners must be strong, and why do you think foreigners must be powerful? I don't understand why so many people have to look down on themselves. How inferior are you? From dozens of Years ago, when the great man at Antianmen announced the establishment of New China, from the moment our fathers and grandparents beat up 400,000 United Nations troops on the Korean Peninsula looking for teeth, the Chinese people have stood up, and we have straightened our spines. It stands in the east of the world and has become a towering tree that cannot be ignored in the forest of nations in the world.”
"Mr. Gu Hongming said it thoroughly. Some people have the braids on their heads cut off, but the braids in their hearts are still there. Some people don't look at the braids on their heads, but they don't have them in their hearts."
Pointing at the camera, Xu Ang seemed to be asking, "Which type are you?"
The reporters of the court station are all numb.
Before they came, they had heard from Teacher Shui in the stage that Xu Ang dared to say anything. Sure enough, this person really dared to say it.
