Before the end of the game, Billups bravely attacked the basket and completed a meaningless offense other than adding two points to his personal data.

His offense ended the intense, intense and suffocating game.

90 to 86

The Pacers were once restricted by the Pistons to the point of being difficult to score, but later they survived (under King Arthur's leadership), fought fiercely in four quarters, finally won the game, conquered the Tianwang Mountain, and held the match point firmly in their hands.

In this game, Xie Hou paid 30 points, 17 rebounds, 8 assists and 4 steals.

"His performance is so good that the data cannot reflect." Leonard said exaggeratedly, "Without Arthur, the Pacers will lose more than 30 points tonight!"

Xie Hou's performance won unanimous praise from the audience.

What surprised him was that there was a familiar face at the scene, Su Yangjun, a reporter and writer from China. They were old acquaintances. When Xie Hou was working for the CSKA, Su Yangjun often went on business trips to Moscow.

This is a chore. You should know that this is the era of paper media. People cannot sit at home without going out and knowing the current affairs of the world. Middle-aged and second-year-olds who feel good about themselves may even wave their feather fan (maybe a sleeve) like Kong Ming.

The era of paper media means that even if you have a subscription service, you have to go out of the house to get newspapers sent by the newspaper delivery staff.

Moreover, at the beginning of the 21st century, it was a peak period for Chinese sports.

The national basketball team has emerged in many geniuses, the national football team has reached the World Cup historic goal, and the track and field also has a super giant of Liu Xiang, a historical level, which is extremely prosperous.

Since this story is about basketball, it will not be used to make floods (the word "water" means "so you can do it". Let's talk about the basketball world in the early 1996 Golden Generation Lian Po was not old, and genius players were born in succession.

The old king of August 1st was scattered across the country, but there was no one-union enemy. The Ming king of Shanghai followed the trend. The battle between Yao king lasted for several years, and finally he entered Dallas with Lao Wang. The Ming king ruled the CBA and ended with the top scorer.

Even in the past twenty years, it was a peak period in the Chinese basketball world.

Since then, there has been no more genius disputes between Yao King, a popular genius that fans like.

It was during this period that many geniuses in the domestic basketball world emerged, but Su Yangjun realized that Xie Hou would be an extraordinary person in the future and took the initiative to apply for an interview abroad.

At first, the newspaper only paid for the expenses of going abroad, and Su Yangjun was borne by him. He accepted it.

Xie Hou heard that the newspaper only paid for the flight fees, so he directly proposed to help Su Yangjun reimburse the accommodation fee. Although he was flatly rejected by the latter, he still succeeded through some ulterior motives.

Is he a good person? (Xie Hou: definitely) But he is not a great charity who just stands on the side of the road and helps the elderly and crosses the road without any trouble. The help to Su Yangjun is not so pure.

Because he really needs someone to promote himself in the country, Su Yangjun is that person.

Xie Hou had clear intentions, and promoting Xie Hou in the country was also in line with Su Yangjun's purpose, and they hit it off.

Until now, it is no exaggeration to say that Su Yangjun is Xie Hou’s spokesperson in China.

Seeing his old friend, Xie Hou smiled and said, "I said why did you fight so vigorously tonight? It turned out that it was Su Daji that you are here."

Su Yangjun said in panic: "You should be serious, you are all taking pictures."

"Okay." Xie Hou said readily, "If you have any questions, please ask whatever you want. I will answer any questions. If you don't know, I will give you the answers. Keep the leader satisfied, the fans will rest assured, and everyone will be happy."

Su Yangjun saw that Xie Hou was in a good mood tonight (after all, he won a very anxious game), so he started asking: "First of all, congratulations on winning the fifth game of the Eastern Conference Finals. What does it feel like to win the match point?"

"Satisfactory!" Xie Hou's Chinese is extremely standard, which is a very strange thing.

His mother is from Sichuan and his father is from Hebei, but he did not have the accent of the two elders. Instead, he looked like a college student who studied broadcasting and was accurate in Mandarin.

"There is nothing but pleasure?" Su Yangjun asked with a smile.

"There is nothing else, this word is enough, it's just a pleasure!" Xie Hou said.

Su Yangjun had to continue asking: "Including tonight, you can average 30 points, 12 rebounds and 6 assists in five games in the Eastern Conference Finals, which is significantly improved compared to the first round and semi-finals, and even the regular season. We all know that the Pistons are a team with strong defense. Why do you have such a strong team and your performance increases instead of decreasing?"

Xie Hou was completely unsuspecting to Su Yangjun because he knew that the other party would not cheat him anyway: "This just means that I will be strong when I meet a strong person. Lao Su, don't you understand me?"

Su Yangjun smiled and said to the photographer behind him: "Remember to cut off the last two sentences."

"Be serious." Su Yangjun whispered.

Xie Hou put his hands on his feet and made a ok.

Su Yangjun asked the key questions: "Last night, the Chinese Basketball Association issued a list of men's basketball training for the 2004 Athens Olympics. You are listed. Do you have anything to say about this?"

Xie Hou knew that this issue was of great importance. Nowadays, Pacers can have such attention. On the one hand, they both actively cooperated with the league to play; on the other hand, the league was fueled by the fire; on the other hand, the media and fans were idle; on the other hand, it was because he, as a Chinese, achieved such a result in the NBA arena, will naturally receive extremely high attention.

An example: During the Pacers' playoffs, without a single game, the famous C5 Daily Sports News will specially arrange a 10-15-minute special topic to focus on pre-match and post-match interviews, so that fans who cannot see the game due to jet lag can also empathize and pay attention to the Pacers like the Indiana.

Xie Hou is on the outside and his playing style is extremely eye-catching. Over the past season, his popularity has surpassed all Chinese players, and he is becoming more and more popular, becoming an iconic figure of the era.

Such an outstanding Chinese basketball player has never played on behalf of the national team?

Last summer, he refused the national team's call.

Now that the national basketball team is actively preparing for the Olympics, the significance of the Olympics is not comparable to the Asian Championships. If Xie Hou really wants to play for the country, he should not have any hesitation.

"Even if I don't appear on the training roster, I will go to the domestic and national teams as soon as possible until the season is over. Unless the leaders and coaching staff of the Basketball Association really feel that I don't need to join, I will definitely join the Chinese team. Playing for the Chinese team and wearing the Chinese team's jersey, for me, this is the moment of dream come true." Xie Hou was like a perfect slogan. Without an announcement, he said so many exciting words after a little thought, which shows his good eloquence.

"So..." Xie Hou smiled, "I can only say about this issue, it is really my honor. I will definitely respond to the call of the Basketball Association and go to the national team to report as soon as possible."

Su Yangjun breathed a sigh of relief. He was really worried that Xie Hou would be overly excited and said something inappropriate.

"Old Su, why do you look relieved?" Xie Hou asked with a smile at the end of the interview.

"You, you, you have no one to keep the door open." Su Yangjun shook his head and said.

He was really wrong in this.

Xie Hou is not a chatterbox, he is only like this to his friends. If the group of American journalists standing in front of him is a group of tricks, that would be another face.

Serious double standards are immediately staged.

The same reporter on the scene, and the same reporter, Xie Hou's attitude towards Su Yangjun is obviously different from his attitude towards espn reporters - even if the other party is a beauty -. Even Xie Hou's signature smile is not as warm as when facing Su Yangjun.

After dealing with espn's interview, Xie Hou and Su Yangjun said hello before returning to the locker room.

When walking through the aisle, many fans who stayed at the scene showed their love to him, some of whom were men.

Xie Hou endured his disgust, waved with a smile, and stepped forward intently, and entered the player channel more than twice as fast as usual.

"Well, this day..."

Xie Hou relaxed slightly and temporarily put down Su Yangjun and the national team.

When entertaining Su Yangjun, you have to wait until tomorrow;

He was very happy to go to the national team to report on preparing for the Olympics, but "go to the national team to report as soon as possible after the season" is just an official term. If possible, he would rather conduct a special training first and then report.

He is very willing to believe in the training of the national team, but he cannot convince himself to give up the developed and advanced training environment. Join the national team in advance just to get familiar with his teammates and make the coach like him. He will play a few low-quality warm-up matches, with the purpose of integrating into the team as soon as possible?

What a joke? He still needs to integrate into the team? Isn’t this a reversal of the main and secondary? No matter how you look at it, it should be his national teammates who integrate into him!

(Wine adapts strongly, always so)

It is precisely because of his teammates that he does not need to join the national team too early.

Because a player as great as him should be able to integrate quickly; if not, it cannot be said that he is not great enough, but that the teammates of the national team are not strong enough.
Chapter completed!
