I Am An NBA Goalkeeper
Chapter 24
After little Nelson finished his speech, he motioned to Wang Dachun to say a few words. Although Wang Chun was nervous, he had remembered some of the speech Frank had prepared for him.
The general content of the speech is: very lucky to be selected by the Dallas Mavericks, Dallas is the place where his dream began, he will grow and learn here, and make his greatest contribution to the Dallas Mavericks, and so on.
After Wang Dachun''s speech, there was a reporter''s question time. First of all, a reporter asked Mr. General Manager:
"Mr. Nelson, what I want to ask is how you can find Mr. Wang Dachun''s registration information in so many talent shows all over the world. It seems that his information is very simple. Basically, no other team has paid attention to him.
And we also know that he used to be a football player with no professional basketball experience. As a Mavericks team, he has only one second round draft this year. Why do you insist on Mr. Wang Dachun
Little Nelson is sweating a little. NIMA, that''s a sharp question. But it was a positive response.
"Mr. Wang Dachun is the player we have been following. Before he came to the United States, we had a certain contact with him. We thought that there was no problem for his talent to come to the United States to play NBA, so we invited him for a trial training. After the trial training, we confirmed the previous decision, so we chose him in the draft Conference. Of course, we were also very lucky to get him with the signing at the back. "
Reporter asked Wang Dachun.
"Excuse me, Mr. Wang Dachun, why didn''t you participate in the joint trial training, and your physical measurement information was not published on the official website of the league. It seems that you only accepted the invitation of Dallas Mavericks for trial training. Don''t you know that if you have your physical talent and go to several more teams for trial training, your order may be higher?
Wang Dachun thought about it, straightened out the reporter''s question, and answered honestly.
"Well, I didn''t take part in the joint trial because I couldn''t come to the United States before I got my visa in China, so I couldn''t take part in the joint trial. As for you said only to go to the Mavericks trial training, because only the Mavericks invited me, other teams did not invite me to participate, naturally can not go
Little Nelson was relieved to hear Wang Dachun''s reply. He was also worried that Wang Dachun had asked him not to go to other teams for trial training. If this question was used by the media, it would be a bit of trouble.
At this time, a reporter from the imperial court also wanted to ask questions. Nelson Jr. has specially explained to the press officer that if Wang Dachun''s reporters ask questions, they must give them a chance to ask questions.
"First of all, congratulations on signing the contract with the Mavericks. I''m Ni Daye, a reporter from the sports channel of Imperial Court TV. We know that you started to practice football since you were a child. It was this year that you started to practice basketball. Why didn''t you improve your skills in China and come to the NBA draft directly? Have you ever thought about the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, and if you receive the call from the national team to participate in this year''s Olympic Games.
Wang Dachun was a bit forced to hear these questions. This pattern is a bit big. When he went up to the national level, I am a small athlete. If you ask this question, how do you want me to answer it? If you don''t answer it well, will I be banned. After a little consideration, he replied.
"Well, I''ve been studying football in China, and I want to keep it going. Because of my height, I can''t continue to play football. It''s difficult to change my career in a short time. I just had a chance to come to the NBA. I didn''t think too much at that time. When I received the invitation of trial training, I went directly to Dallas Mavericks. I didn''t consider that I might be selected, I just wanted to try Try, but I didn''t think I was lucky to be chosen by Dallas.
As for the call of the national team, of course, if I need to come back, I will immediately report for duty, but the national team should also see that I belong to the basketball rookie, technically may not be able to meet the requirements of the national team, so I did not get the call, this year''s capital Olympic Games, the Chinese team will certainly achieve very good results, after all, in our home doorway. That''s all. Thank you.
Then reporters asked Wang Dachun several questions. I started to ask coach Rick Carlisle.
Carlisle coach is actually very unhappy today, he did not expect the team to take the initiative to hold a press conference for a second round show.
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 to do. He came to attend a press conference of the second round show. It seems that his position in the team is very general.
At the beginning of the draft, he had some disputes with Nelson on the selection of Wang Dachun. He thought the team needed a 3D point guard. As the coach, he knew that the Mavericks'' trading situation was limited this year. There was only one second round draft right this year, so it was more important for the draft right.
However, general manager Nelson did not listen to his own opinions and insisted on choosing the center with little basketball experience, which made him feel a little unhappy. Up to now, I still have some preconceptions about Wang Dachun.
However, he has to answer the reporter''s questions. It is impossible not to express their dissatisfaction on this scene, let the outside world think that the Mavericks internal discord."Coach Carlisle, what is your position for Wang Dachun and will you train the main center of the team? Is playing time guaranteed? The first question is Ni Daye of the imperial court.
Carlisle, after all, is a veteran. There is no pressure on him to answer such questions.
"Of course we try to cultivate him. In the new season, we will give him enough playing time according to the situation of the team. The positioning of the team needs to be determined by his performance
Subsequent reporters also asked a few questions, such as the new season''s plan, results, lineup adjustment, playoff goals and so on.
After the reporter asked questions, the last part of the press conference was the display of jerseys and numbers.
Little Nelson and Wang Dachun went to the release stage. Wang Dachun has his own Jersey. Show it to reporters.
The jersey number Wang Dachun chose is 66. As for why he chose the number, it''s just a good number.
Of course, the following reporter will also ask why Wang Dachun chose No. 66. Wang Dachun couldn''t answer that he saw the number as pleasing to the eye. He could only explain the meaning a little. In China, "6" means everything is going smoothly, "66" means very smoothly.
After the press conference, the imperial court also conducted a personal interview with Wang Dachun, and the content of the interview was not very much. The main thing was to ask Wang Dachun what he felt at this moment and what he was looking forward to in the future.
Wang Dachun''s official reply:
I didn''t expect to be able to log on to the NBA stage. Now that I''m here, I''m sure I will go on seriously. In the new season, I will get the trust of coaches and players as soon as possible, and strive for good results. At the same time, I would like to thank my family for their support and friends'' encouragement, and hope I can give them good results in return.
