I Am An NBA Goalkeeper

Chapter 24: Press conference

After the little Nelson finished speaking, he signaled Wang Dachun to say a few words. Although Wang Chun was nervous, he remembered some of the speeches that Frank prepared for him.

The general content of the speech is: very fortunate to be selected by the Mavericks. Dallas is where his dream began. He will grow up and learn here and make his greatest contribution to the Dallas Mavericks.

After Wang Dachun finished his speech, it was time for reporters to ask questions. First, the reporter asked Mr. General Manager:

"Mr. Nielsen, what I want to ask is how you found Mr. Wang Dachun's registration information in so many entries around the world. His information seems to be very simple, basically no other team has followed him.

And we also know that he used to be a football player and had no experience in professional basketball games. As the Mavericks, he only has one second-round pick this year. Why do you insist on choosing Mr. Wang Dachun? "

Little Nelson had a cold sweat on his head, Nima, this question is a bit sharp. However, they responded positively.

"Mr. Wang Dachun is a player we have been paying attention to. Before he came to the United States, we had some contact with him. We thought that his talent came to the United States to play NBA without any problems, so we invited him to try out. After the trial training, we were even more sure of the previous decision, so we chose him in the draft. Of course, we were also very lucky to get him with a late lottery."

The reporter asked Wang Dachun.

"Excuse me, Mr. Wang Dachun, why did you not participate in the joint training, and your physical test information alliance official website has not been announced, you seem to have only accepted the Dallas Mavericks trial invitation, don't you know your physical talent, how many more visits? Home team will try out, may your pick be higher?

Wang Dachun thought about it, sorted out the reporter's question, and answered honestly.

"Well, I didn’t participate in the joint trial because I had not applied for a domestic visa at the time. I couldn’t come to the United States, so I couldn’t go to the joint trial. As for you only went to the Mavericks for a trial, it’s because only the Mavericks invited me. I, other teams did not invite me to participate, so naturally I can't go."

Little Nelson was relieved when he heard Wang Dachun's answer. He was also worried that Wang Dachun mentioned that he would not go to other teams for trial training. If this issue is used by the media to make a fuss, it would be a bit troublesome.

At this time, there were also reporters on the court station who wanted to ask questions. Nelson Jr. specially explained to the press officer before that if there is a question from Wang Dachun's country reporter, he must give the reporter a chance to ask questions.

"First of all congratulations to you officially signing the contract with the Mavericks. I'm Ni Daye, a reporter from the Imperial Sports Channel. I want to ask. We know that you started practicing football when you were a child. You only started practicing basketball this year. So why didn't you improve your skills in China? And directly to participate in the NBA draft? Have you considered this year's 2008 Capital Olympics, have you considered if you receive a call from the national team to participate in this year's Olympics.

Wang Dachun is a little bit overwhelmed when he hears these questions. This pattern is a bit big, and I am a small athlete. If you ask this question, how do you ask me to answer? Will you be blocked if you don’t answer well? Yeah. He replied after some consideration.

"Well, I have been studying football in China, and I want to keep it going. I can’t continue playing football because of my height. It’s difficult to change professionally for a short time. I just had a chance to come to NBA. I didn’t think too much Many, I received the invitation to try out the Dallas Mavericks directly. I didn't think that I might really be selected. I just wanted to give it a try, but I didn't expect that I was lucky to be selected by Dallas.

As for the national team call you mentioned, of course, if you need to come back, I will rush to report immediately, but the national team should also be able to see that I am a basketball rookie, technically there may be no way to meet the requirements of the national team, so there is no Get the call, the Chinese team in this year's Capital Olympics will definitely achieve very good results, after all, it is at our doorstep. Nothing more, thank you.

Then the reporters asked Wang Dachun a few more questions. Started to ask head coach Rick Carlisle questions.

Coach Carlisle was actually very upset today. He did not expect the team to take the initiative to hold a press conference for a second-round pick.

And he has to let himself participate. From a personal point of view, he thinks that he has just moved into the Mavericks to become the head coach and has a lot of work to do, so he made a special trip to participate in a second-round show conference. It seems that his status in the team is very general.

And when the draft was first drafted, he had some disputes with Nelson Jr. on the issue of choosing Wang Dachun. He believed that the team needed a 3D shooting guard. As the head coach, he knew that the Mavericks' trading situation was limited this year, and there was only one second round this year. The pick, so it’s more important to this pick.

However, the general manager Nelson Jr. did not listen to his opinions and insisted on choosing this center with no basketball experience, which made him feel a little unhappy. Until now, I still have some prejudices against Wang Dachun.

But he has to answer questions raised by reporters. It is impossible not to express their dissatisfaction on this scene, so that the outside world thinks that the Mavericks are not in harmony.

"Coach Carlisle, what is your position on Wang Dachun? Will you train for the team's main center? Is your playing time guaranteed? The first question is Ni Daye of the court.

Carlisle is a veteran after all, and there is no pressure on him to answer this kind of question.

"Of course we are trying our best to train him. In the new season, we will give him enough playing time based on the team's situation. The positioning of the team needs to be determined based on his performance."

Subsequent reporters also asked a few painless questions, such as plans for the new season, results, lineup adjustments, playoff goals, etc.

After the reporter finished asking questions, the final link of the press conference was the display of jerseys and numbers.

Jr. Nelson and Wang Dachun walked to the launch stage. Wang Dachun is holding his jersey. Show it to reporters.

Wang Dachun's jersey number is 66. As for why he chose the number, it's just to look at this number.

Of course, the reporters below will also ask why Wang Dachun chose No. 66. It is impossible for Wang Dachun to answer that this number is pleasing to the eye. He can only explain the meaning a little bit. In China, "6" means everything goes smoothly, and "66" means very smoothly.

After the press conference, the court station also conducted a personal interview with Wang Dachun. The content of the interview was not very much. The main thing was to ask Wang Dachun's feelings at this moment and what he hopes for himself in the future.

Wang Dachun's more official answer:

I didn't expect to be able to log on to the nba stage. Since I am here, I will definitely go on earnestly. I will gain the trust of coaches and players as soon as possible in the new season and strive to achieve good results. At the same time, I would like to thank my family for their encouragement to my support friends, and hope that I can show good results to them.
