When a cold wind blew, Lin Shuyuan hurriedly tightened his coat, but the bitter cold wind still penetrated into the collar, and he shuddered involuntarily, and his mouth uttered a rude word, and the result was only a mouthful, cold wind Going in, he sneezed suddenly, feeling that the whole person was not very good.

Sure enough, he knew that this trip was a chore! Otherwise, how could it be his rookie newcomer who just entered the "World Daily" less than six months?

Indianapolis, NFL rookie training camp, rugby ... These keywords do not sound appealing. Although rugby is the number one sport in the United States, overseas commercial promotion is far behind basketball and football, worldwide Audience is really limited, not to mention in China. Even in the Chinese community in San Francisco, football fans are rare.

This time, a Chinese rookie appeared in the rookie training camp. After the news came out, I heard that it was really lively in Los Angeles for a while, but in San Francisco, there was nowhere to go.

As the highest-selling and largest Chinese newspaper in the San Francisco area, the "World Daily" naturally received the news for the first time, but they did not have much interest, and only conducted official routine reports. As for the rookie training camp, they did not intend to follow up the report at all. At first, no one paid attention. Second, the rookie was probably not selected. Not only the "World Daily", their two biggest local competitors, "Qiaobao" and "Sing Tao Daily" also did not intend to follow up on the report.

However, in the recent period, the "World Daily" lacked materials, and even the news that a new barber shop was opened in Chinatown appeared on the page, and the quality of the news declined a bit. So, the editor-in-chief made a final decision to absolutely follow up the news of the Chinese rookie, and then he appeared in Indianapolis.

Indianapolis, this should be one of the most boring cities in the United States. If it is not for this news, he estimates that he will not visit this city for a lifetime.

Take a deep breath, Lin Shuyuan regained his enthusiasm. Now that he is here, then complete this report seriously. Anyway, this is also his first official special report as a reporter. If he performs well, Perhaps, in the future, you can reap more opportunities, maybe you will have the opportunity to switch to big newspapers such as "San Francisco Chronicle" and "Los Angeles Times" in the future ...

A rookie came head-on. He wore a jersey issued by the rookie training camp, dark blue sweat-absorbent short sleeves, a pattern printed on the chest, the upper part is a number, "16", and the lower part is two English abbreviations , "WR".

Lin Shuyuan knows nothing about rugby. For this rookie training camp, he stuffed a lot of rugby knowledge. He knew that "WR" means wide receiver, so he quickly greeted him quickly, "Morning Okay, may I ask, a rookie of Chinese descent appeared in this year ’s rookie training camp. What do you think of this? "

"No opinion." The rookie's confused expression didn't seem to understand the meaning of the question, and shrugged. "In the final analysis, this is a stage for self-expression. After all, we still have to rely on strength to speak. So, each of us You need to do your best and hope to have excellent performance. "

Seeing that the rookie was about to leave, Lin Shuyuan didn't know how to start the interview. In a hurry, he asked directly, "So, do you think he can be selected? I mean, this Chinese rookie."

"Obviously, the decision is not mine. If I can predict, I am more concerned about the round in which I can be selected." The rookie said with a smile, no more stay, bypassed Lin Shuyuan, and stopped at the hotel. The bus at the door walked past-this is the officially arranged transportation and will go directly to the Lucas Petroleum Stadium.

Lin Shuyuan was stunned for a while, but he didn't keep up with his footsteps and stayed where he was. Immediately, he also realized that his question was a bit silly, but he didn't wait for him to further clarify his thoughts. Then he saw two middle-aged men in suits and leather shoes coming to meet them, and they all hung the staff's work permit, corresponding to Lin Shuyuan The media interview card looks like a team manager or a manager.

Lin Shuyuan immediately stepped forward, "Excuse me, a Chinese rookie appeared in the rookie training camp this year. Do you have any special ideas?"

"Who?" The middle-aged man on the left was confused, and Lin Shuyuan was directly choked by just a rhetorical question. Fortunately, the man on the right was relieved. "UCLA, a Chinese rookie." The first man suddenly realized Then he shook his head, "No, I'm not interested." After that, the two of them took their steps again and walked towards the parking lot on the other side.

In just one round, Lin Shuyuan was defeated before he even had time to confront. He didn't even have time to play the reporter's dog skin plaster magic, and he was killed directly.

I originally thought that there was a Chinese rookie on the rugby rookie training camp that Asian players have never been involved in. No matter what, after all, it is a gimmick that deserves a good discussion; but obviously, it is contrary to wishes and people don't care.

Think carefully, but don't feel strange. On the one hand, not only football, but in all big ball sports, football, basketball, volleyball, China ’s performance is unsatisfactory, the women ’s volleyball team is the final shame, people ’s expectations are naturally not high; on the other hand, football in China The market hasn't opened up yet, and it has no commercial value at all. A Chinese rookie who participated in the training camp has no attention or hype. This is not Yao / Ming's landing in the NBA.

Lin Shuyuan became more and more interested, and felt that this trip might return empty-handed. However, work is work, and a group of people appeared again in front of me. Lin Shuyuan still rallied and took the initiative to welcome him.

"I think this year may be a big draft year."

"Yes, I agree! Especially the quarterback. There are a lot of good seedlings this year."

"That's not uncommon. This year's defense team has a lot of high-profile potential stars. I think that defensive players may have better performance this year."

"The other positions are also good. I saw a few wide receivers and near-end forwards, and their qualities are very good."

"Yes, there are running backs. Among the training camps this year, the number of running backs is the largest."

"It's been a long time since this draft year!"

A large group of scouts, such as Adam Klein and Black Simmons, left the hotel hustlefully and happily, preparing to go to the training camp venue. For them, the next period of time was after the hard work of the entire season in the past. Finally waited for the moment of acceptance.

Adam walked to the front right, and then saw a reporter with an Asian face rushed over, his footsteps stopped quickly, the reporter asked in a loud voice, "Excuse me, this year's rookie training camp, appeared A Chinese rookie, what do you think? "

"You mean that Chinese quarterback?" Compared with others, scouts have a much deeper understanding of the players. A total of 332 rookies in the training camp this year, they can know Remember the name, location, and basic information of each player, and mentioning any one person is all handy.

Lin Shuyuan suddenly became happy and nodded again and again, "Yes, it is him!"

"Chinese players have been tough enough, this year is still a quarterback year, it is estimated to be choking."

"The Chinese player has too little information and no reference value at all. I did n’t know how to perform in this training camp. I had a face-to-face meeting with him yesterday. The height is enough, but it is too thin and the muscle content is also Not enough, I feel that the explosive force, balance, observation and muscle strength are not enough. "

"Asian players are still too poor in terms of physical fitness. I still don't like the appearance of Asian players in the NFL this year."

...

The chatter of twitter doesn't require Lin Shuyuan to ask questions at all, and the information is already surging, but obviously, these are not good news. Even though Lin Shuyuan has already been mentally prepared, so far, there is still no Asian-American player in the rugby field. This is an iron fact; but at this moment, I heard it personally and Lin Shuyuan still felt a little depressed.

"Don't you watch the video? His judgment and shot on the court are all worthy of affirmation." Black didn't hold back and defended out loud. Until today, the performance of the Rose Bowl in the last two minutes still impressed him.

Black looked back at his colleagues and said in a loud voice, "Every year, quarterbacks are the most sought-after. To be precise, it should be said which team does not lack a quarterback, not which team. A quarterback is needed. This year Peyton Manning was injured, and now the Colts are in trouble. Maybe they have to choose a quarterback too, and things are unclear. "

"Black, aren't you so naive? That's just a flash of light. To be honest, there are a dozen or twenty players that burst out like this every year, and then all of them disappear." There was a raging talk, and there were other people behind him, "Yeah, the physical fitness is really too bad. No team will be willing to take risks, let alone the first six rounds, even if he is selected in the seventh round, I think it ’s too risky. The data wo n’t lie, nor the scout report. ”

"That's not necessary." Adam spoke this time. As a veteran of scouts, he still has a lot of weight to speak, and everyone has read it.

"Adam, what is your opinion?" Someone asked in a loud voice.

Adam shrugged. "I don't have any opinions. I just think that the data is not correct. Otherwise, the current elite quarterback will not be the four."

After talking, Adam did n’t continue to say anything, bypassed the reporter, and stepped forward; other scouts also chattered out their opinions, and discussed it all over the world, one after another In a blink of an eye, Lin Shuyuan was left standing alone, messy in the wind:

What exactly did that sentence mean? Why doesn't he understand?
