Guard With a Knife

The CCTV team of Duge who came to interview are not all from the sports channel.

Recently, CCTV is doing a special report on "Chinese Youth in the New Era". Coupled with the fact that the 2008 Olympic Games is getting closer and closer, the proportion of sports reports is obviously increasing.

At this moment, Doug appeared just right. He opened up his popularity in the American college basketball circle at a rocket-like speed. While leading the team to win the championship, he also won the largest individual award in the American College League, overwhelming the top three favorites.

This is such a thing to enhance the self-confidence of the Chinese nation.

Moreover, sweeping away the stereotypes of Chinese students in American universities will virtually improve the country's image.

Why can't a high-achieving student with a full scholarship in economics be the most valuable player in the NCAA Final Four? What you Americans can't do, we Chinese can do!

In 2008, there was still a market for frustrating the prestige of foreigners and raising the morale of Chinese people. But after ten years, it seems to get used to it!

With the consent of the basketball team, Duge took the CCTV shooting team to the Austin Basketball Center located in the Westwood campus for an exclusive interview.

CCTV reporters are very professional, they interviewed Du Ge before. It has completed interviews with NBA stars Kobe Bryant, Stephen Nash, Yao Huang, head coach Ben Holland, Russell Westbrook, Luke Mbah a Moute and Kevin Love.

These people were full of praise for Doug in the interview, and most of them mentioned a brand new term "Snoopy Whirlwind" invented by ESPN.

"So, do you think this 'Snoopy whirlwind' you've created in American college basketball is crazy enough? I walked all the way from the arena today, wearing the most number 10 jerseys, and you became a veritable You are a star player, and it took you less than 3 months to complete this process. How did you do it?" The well-known CCTV host in a neat suit sat on a high stool in the center of the arena, speaking in a very professional tone And ask Du Ge questions in very standard Mandarin.

Duger smiled and said plainly: "It seems crazy to the outside world to win the Most Valuable Player trophy in the semi-finals. But in fact, I didn't pay attention to these things, I just played one game at a time. Preparing for the race and then doing my job during the race. So 'Snoopy' was calm for me because I was in the very center of the eye of the storm."

Duge's answer was balanced and stable, infinitely close to the standard answer.

The CCTV host thought for a while, and then asked an interesting question: "So, have you ever been slighted during the competition? I mean skin color or height."

"It's hard to avoid." Duge shrugged. He didn't deliberately increase the confrontation, but said calmly: "On the basketball court, no one can rely on despicable provocative methods or inexplicable Superiority wins. For me, the color of my skin is my pride and my height is their shame."

Doug's answer was very cultivated and powerful.

This made the host look at this 19-year-old basketball boy with admiration. He is indeed a top student of Anderson School of Business.

Afterwards, the host asked Doug about his views and predictions on the draft.

Duger deliberately revealed some information in this session: "Actually, the draft is just a cutscene for me. I have already got the first-round draft guarantee from more than one team."

When the host asked which teams it was. Duger told him with a smile: "This is a secret. But it basically covers lottery teams, playoff teams and giants."

The visit was in progress, and a large group of people suddenly walked in outside the gymnasium. The one who walked in the front was Bill Walton, the second most powerful super center in school history (the first was Kareem Abdul-Jabbar).

"Hey, Snoopy! I hear you're here,

Come here quickly. I have to work on you little Bill Walton, or you kid keeps pretending you're a point guard. "

Bill Wharton greeted Dug warmly, and then he walked into the picture captured by the CCTV camera.

CCTV did not stop filming because of the tall man who suddenly came in, because the photographer recognized the former NBA superstar.

"Are you being interviewed?"

After Bill Walton spotted the shot, he didn't dodge. He is a born star. He quickly waved to the camera: "Hey, how are you? I'm Bill Walton. I now officially announce that Snoopy will be my student, and I will teach him my full set of defensive steps. Just wait and see. He Will become a first-class center in the NBA!"

Then, he began to take the initiative to chat with the host in English. He told the host how much he admired Snoopy, and he also told the TV audience in front of the TV that Snoopy will have a bright future.

Bill Walton was so good at dealing with the media that he then taught Doug defensive footwork on TV cameras.

The CCTV interview team was very pleasantly surprised by Bill Wharton's cooperation, which added a lot of topicality to their interviews. I believe that after the official broadcast, it will definitely bring great repercussions.

After the filming was completed, Bill Walton and Doug stayed in the arena to continue training their feet.

Duger's footsteps are already relatively fast now, but because his thighs are not as flexible as his calves, his stride is slightly smaller, but the speed is extremely fast.

This is also in line with Bill Walton's defensive philosophy: Bill Walton is a traditional center, and at the end of his year, there was no three-second zone in the NBA. They are used to playing on the basket.

Doug picked up a couple of quick slide defense tricks from Bill Walton.

In the evening, Bill Wharton invited Doug to dinner.

Over dinner, Bill Walton asked Doug if he was interested in playing in Boston. Doug looked at Bill Walton in surprise, as a super center graduated from UCLA, and your son is still playing for the Lakers. You actually recommended me to the rival Boston Celtics?

Bill Walton smiled: "I just think your tough style of play fits well with Boston. You know, I used to be a Celtic."

"Well, in fact, I don't rule out going to any team, but Boston has to be ready for a high enough pick." Duger's answer was watertight.
