Chapter 62 Are You Harmonious?
Mark Jackson kept Zhang Xin after the game.

"Zhang, ESPN is going to give us an exclusive interview tomorrow, and we're calling for you to come too, so prepare yourself."

Since Zhang Xin landed in the NBA, he has not officially accepted interviews from the media. There were many invitations to come and talk about him personally, but Zhang Xin refused them all. Hearing that it was the team's arrangement, it was not easy to refuse, so he nodded and agreed.

The interview was arranged at noon the next day. Mark Jackson, Stephen Curry and Zhang Xin set off to the ESPN studio together. The ESPN staff had already made preparations. Zhang Xin and the others sat in the background for a while, and the staff notified It's time to enter.Zhang Xin tidied up his clothes, followed Mark Jackson and Curry into the studio.

The camera has been turned on. The host of this interview is American Yang Yi Stephen Smith. Stephen Smith smiled and asked Zhang Xin and others to sit down.

"Welcome Coach Mark Jackson of the Warriors, Mr. Stephen Curry and Mr. Zhang Xin to the ESPN studio, gentlemen, welcome." Stephen Smith made a welcome speech.

Zhang Xin and Curry nodded with a smile.

"Haha, old man, thank you for your invitation, I feel very honored." Whoever said that Mark Jackson has a low EQ, this answer is very good.

"Hey, I didn't invite you either. It's my job." Stephen Smith laughed and made a joke.The effect was good. Mark Jackson and Stephen Curry were indeed secretly relieved. As a basketball commentator in his previous life, Zhang Xin was sometimes invited to be a guest at some less important events. nervous feeling.

Stephen Smith looked at the calm Zhang Xin, but he was a little surprised. This young man, who was dressed in fashion, looked gentle and elegant, was so calm when he faced the camera for the first time. The kind of interview on the spot is not counted, and the kind is basically in the stadium. Those less formal interview occasions are different from interviews in the studio.

"OK, let me introduce to the audience first. These three are members of the Warriors team who have won [-] consecutive victories in the NBA. This is Mark Jackson, the head coach of the Warriors. This is the leader of the team, Stephen Curry. , and this is the NBA's new superstars, Zhang Xin, Mr. Zhang. ESPN invited these to our side for an interview at the request of the audience." Stephen Smith introduced to the audience one by one, Mark Jackson, Ku When Li and Zhang Xin introduced themselves, they both stood up and signaled to the audience.

The audience saw Zhang Xin standing up. He was wearing a well-fitting dark gray suit, which set off his slender body perfectly. He had neatly combed his oily hair, wore gold-rimmed glasses, his eyes were calm, and the corners of his mouth were slightly smiling. , rather like a young professor, couldn't help but praise: "As expected, you are worthy of the letter of the peerless young master!"

Stephen Smith also secretly praised: With this image, Hollywood can't find many.

"Coach Jackson, I have a lot of questions that the audience cares about here. I will pick some out for you to ask. Please answer as you see fit."

The three of them smiled and nodded, they are all here, so naturally they have to cooperate well.

"OK, the first question is for Coach Mark Jackson. After winning a team record 18 consecutive victories, does Coach Jackson have any bigger goals?"

"In fact, we didn't deliberately pursue a winning streak. We won so many games without knowing it. As for the goal, if it refers to the winning streak, we don’t have it, we are not so attached to the winning streak, we just let it be.”

"Haha, I think all coaches in the NBA want your luck. Does Coach Jackson have other goals besides winning streak records?" American Yang Yi is not a person who follows the rules. This kind of media worker likes to make big news, but it's normal. A reporter who doesn't want to make trouble is not a good host.

"Yes, our goal is the championship." Mark Jackson looked like a teenager in the second grade, and he praised you for your high EQ just now.

The corner of Zhang Xin's smiling mouth twitched a bit: It's not even the playoffs yet, coach, aren't you afraid of spreading hatred?
Stephen Smith smiled, and he likes to interview people with such a big mouth, so big news can keep coming!

"Then I wish Coach Jackson the best of luck this year."

Mark Jackson nodded reservedly.

Zhang Xin: I'm going to be reserved...

"OK, Stephen, here is a question for you. As the leader of the team, how did you lead the players to achieve the winning streak?"

There was a pitfall in Stephen Smith's words, pointing out that Stephen Curry is the boss of the team. Some time ago, the topic of who is the boss of the Warriors was very popular. Although both Curry and Zhang Xin explained this matter, but in front of the two It's interesting to say it.

"Thank you for the concern of this friend. In fact, our victory was achieved with the efforts of all the staff of the team, including the management, the coaching staff, and those of us who play on the field and the staff behind the scenes. This is not me. One person's credit, as for you saying that I am the boss of the team, I have said it before, the players of our Warriors are all brothers, we don't have the idea of ​​who is the boss, Zhang Xin calls me the big brother, but because I have grown up a lot That's all," Curry said with a smile, not annoyed at all.

Stephen Smith saw that Curry was not fooled, and he didn't show his face.

"Zhang, I received the most messages from fans, and the most were about you. I picked out a few." Stephen Smith said with a smile.

"OK, before I answer the question, I still have to say that Stephen is really our boss." Zhang Xin said with a smile, and Curry laughed out his back molars.

Stephen Smith couldn't help but laugh too.

"OK, a fan asked very interestingly: You are so handsome, why don't you go to Hollywood? Hahaha..." Stephen Smith laughed and let out a pig cry.

Zhang Xin looked helpless: "Thank you for your suggestion. I will go to Hollywood if I can't survive in the NBA."

"Hahaha..." Curry also laughed backwards.

"Haha, OK, Zhang is really humorous, and: Why does Zhang want to be with Taylor Swift?" Stephen Smith was also quite curious.

"Of course it's because of love. I never fell in love in the first 20 years. Before I met Taylor, I thought I only loved basketball. After I met Taylor in a coffee shop, I realized: God, in the world There is such a cute girl who fits me so well, God, thank you to the American people for raising such a beautiful girl who is so beautiful, and let me meet you." Zhang Xin said sincerely.

The audience laughed: It turned out that Zhang Xin was just a single dog before.

Stephen Smith noticed: Zhong Tiandi's leading talent?

"Wait, you just said Zhong Tiandi Zhilingxiu? Is it a word to describe a girl? Wow, what a wonderful adjective!" Stephen Smith exclaimed: "I have never heard of such a chic Chen Zan girl, gorgeous!"

Just now, Zhang Xin was translated directly in English. There is no similar expression in American English, and Stephen Smith noticed it all at once.

The audience also noticed it, and they couldn't help admiring: Taylor Swift is so lucky to have found such a handsome boyfriend who can praise others so much! "

"Oh, my God, I would be so happy if you praised me! Huh..." Some female fans were so excited that they burst into tears.

"Haha, yes, I'm so happy. There's also a question about Zhang Xin: Is your life with Taylor Swift harmonious?" Stephen Smith suppressed a smile.

Curry fell down on the chair with laughter, Mark Jackson couldn't help laughing, and the audience off the court laughed together, and the studio was full of happy air.

Zhang Xin covered his forehead with a helpless expression.

"I choose not to answer this question. Do you have any questions about basketball?" Zhang Xin was helpless.

The audience laughed even more.

So ESPN is also a dishonest program?Zhang thought in confidence.

However, Stephen Smith just froze for a while, and the interview later returned to normal. After the recording was completed, Stephen Smith shook hands with the three of them, and said to Zhang Xin: "I will invite you in the future."

Zhang Xin smiled awkwardly but politely: I guess you have to tie me up next time, so I will come here.
