Chapter 48 Interview
the next day.

"Teacher Su, please sit down, I'm a little messy, I'm sorry." Zhang Yu stretched out his hand to pretense.

Su Qun walked into Zhang Yu's office and looked curiously at the room of the youngest NCAA head coach.

He rested overnight at the hotel he booked yesterday, and came to the campus of Butler University this morning.

"Coach Z, I've heard about your name for a long time, and you are now famous all over the United States." Su Qun said with a smile while holding Zhang Yu's hand.

"Hey, Mr. Su's words are right. I'm still a long way off. Just call me Xiao Zhang." Zhang Yu was very modest.

Su Qun was also polite, and changed his words with a smile:
"Okay, Xiao Zhang, but you don't have to talk to each other about your teacher. I'm crazy about how old you are. You can call me Brother Su."

He is nearly 20 years older than Zhang Yu, and it is really embarrassing to call Coach Z.

"Haha, okay, Brother Su, let me show you around the school first?" Zhang Yu laughed.

Although he has never played in the domestic basketball circle, he can guess that according to the Chinese tradition, the phenomenon of seniority ranking must be very common.

As the editor-in-chief of Su Qun's "Basketball Pioneer News", even if he is not a professional athlete, his status is definitely not low. Although these words seem to be exaggerating, they are actually showing his favor.

And after all, he was nearly 20 years younger than Su Qun, so he called Brother Su very fluently.

"Let's not do it for now, the business is important, why don't we talk first?" Su Qun waved his hands again and again.

"Okay!" Zhang Yu readily agreed.

Su Qun opened the bag, took out the recording pen and camera, and took a few photos of Zhang Yu.

He is a photography enthusiast, and he is fully capable of simple photo work.

The NBA regular season is coming to an end recently, and the "Basketball Pioneer" is busy with work and staff is tight, so he simply came to Indiana alone without a photographer.

After taking the photos, Su Qun put the camera aside, turned on the recording pen and put it on the table, and officially started the interview:
"You are the first Chinese head coach in the history of the NCAA and the youngest head coach in the NCAA. Can you tell me how you did it?"

Zhang Yu pondered for a moment and said:

"It is purely a coincidence that I can take over the position of Butler's head coach..."

In the following time, Su Qun asked questions one after another, and Zhang Yu talked in great detail, detailing how he took over as Butler's head coach, his background, growth experience, interesting stories about coaching the Bulldogs, and the difficulties he encountered. Let Su Qun sigh again and again.

He did not expect that the process of Zhang Yu becoming Butler's head coach would be so dramatic, and Zhang Yu put forward many unique views on the NCAA from the perspective of a head coach, which was very helpful for the "Basketball Pioneer" to promote the NCAA among fans.

"Xiao Zhang, thank you for the interview. This trip is the right one for me, and I have gained a lot." At the end of the interview, Su Qun stopped the recorder and said sincerely.

"Wealth and wealth do not return home, such as walking at night in brocade clothes. I also have to thank the "Basketball Pioneer" for giving me a chance to show my face in front of domestic fans." Zhang Yu laughed.

"Haha, thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to accept the interview..." Su Qun nodded and smiled, appreciating Zhang Yu even more in his heart.

He originally thought that Zhang Yu, who became the head coach of an NCAA team at such a young age and had achieved very good results, might be ambitious and difficult to get along with, so he was prepared to hit a snag.

After all, he had done his homework before coming here. After reading many reports about Zhang Yu, his colleagues in the United States did not give him a good opinion of him.

But I didn't expect Zhang Yu's modest and peaceful attitude during the interview, which surprised him very much.

No wonder it's not easy for this young man to achieve such a great reputation in a foreign country all by himself!

Su Qun decided to reciprocate, and he had to polish it up when he went back, so as to create a positive image for Zhang Yu in the report.

"It's just that I have a small request..." Zhang Yu suddenly smiled embarrassedly.

"Tell me." Su Qun said quickly.

"Brother Su, can you hide my family background, my parents are ordinary people, I don't want them to be disturbed." "Hey, I wonder why, it's simple, just don't worry."

"Thank you so much. Let me show you around. Butler's campus is a bit small, but the scenery is nice." Zhang Yu smiled.

Su Qun readily agreed, and under Zhang Yu's guidance, he visited Butler's campus, focusing on the Hinkle Arena, home of the Bulldogs, and had lunch at a restaurant on campus at noon.

The two also met many Bulldogs fans who greeted Zhang Yu on the road. Su Qun took the opportunity to interview several students to enrich the content of the report.

In the afternoon, Zhang Yu took Su Qun around the school and returned to the office.

"Brother Su, there is a very authentic American barbecue restaurant near the school. I am treating guests tonight. How about we go there for a meal?" Zhang Yu asked Su Qun after he had packed his things.

"No, I can't eat too greasy." Su Qun politely refused.

"How about changing to a Chinese restaurant? There is a Chinese restaurant in the urban area, and the Shandong cuisine is very authentic." Zhang Yu suggested.

"Then I'll trouble you." Su Qun didn't show any kindness to Zhang Yu this time.

The two then returned to Zhang Yu's apartment, where his Toyota was parked.

This is a second-hand Toyota that I bought after I came to the United States. The appearance is already a little worn out, but the leather is durable.

In the United States, it is difficult to move without a car.

After Zhang Yu changed her clothes, she and Su Qun went downstairs to drive to the city.

But at this moment, a courier from Zhang Yu happened to arrive, so he had to sign for it first and move back to the room.

It was a big cardboard box, very heavy, Su Qun said curiously beside it:

"Xiao Zhang, what did you buy? It's so heavy."

"It's just some books." Zhang Yu put the cardboard box on the floor with difficulty, cut the seal with a knife, and checked the contents inside.

Su Qun watched him pick up thick English books with titles such as "Detailed Explanation of Basic Basketball Tactics", "New Explanation on the History and Development of Pick-and-Rolls", "NBA Rules Changes - Impact on Defense"...

"You are already a well-known head coach in the United States, why do you still read such a basic tactics book?" Su Qun asked in surprise.

"I'm not yet a champion coach, nor a dynasty coach. I still have a lot to learn." Zhang Yu smiled.

Su Qun watched him check the books, glanced out of the corner of his eye at the bookshelves full of books, and suddenly said:

"Xiao Zhang, you are very similar to a person."

"Who?"

"Yao Ming, the way you look at these books is the same as his eyes when he was practicing, very pure." Su Qun said with emotion.

Zhang Yu paused, then continued to take out the book from the cardboard box, and said softly:
"Maybe we are after the same things."

In the evening, Zhang Yu invited Su Qun to dinner and sent him to the airport the next day.

Later, after this interview was published in the "Basketball Pioneer", it caused a lot of repercussions. Many fans knew that a Chinese became the youngest head coach in NCAA history.

But domestic fans didn't pay much attention to the NCAA. The NBA playoffs immediately attracted the attention of all fans, and only a few people remembered his name.

　Thanks for the rewards of book friends "what years have you read", "people who don't like to write books", "old dragon bookworm", especially for the support of book friends "people who don't like to write books", but please save some food money, haha~
　　Finally, now is the critical moment of online recommendation, I hope all book friends can leave me the recommendation ticket, thank you!
