Rookie against Jordan, I became the god of basketball

Chapter 113 The Oprah Show
"So you're not going to be in Seattle for the next few days?"

After Beckinsale finished speaking, some depression appeared in his eyes.

Lu Feng didn't want to see her unhappy, so he comforted her: "This is a star, I have earned unimaginable wealth for ordinary people, so naturally I have to pay some price."

"I know, it's the same with Judy. When she was a child, she worked all year round. Think about it, you still have an offseason, and you won't be as busy as Judy."

Beckinsale propped her chin with both hands, and said regretfully, "If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have taken so many courses, at worst I would have to study for an extra year."

Then, she opened her watery eyes and asked, "Luck, are we dating now?"

Lu Feng shrugged and said, "You say what you want, I'm fine."

Beckinsale scratched her hair annoyedly, and complained: "I knew that the stars in the sports world are not much better than the entertainment circle!"

"Where's Qi? You must have something to do with her, right?"

Lu Feng froze for a moment, spread his hands and said, "This is really not there!"

"Not now, but in the future, there will definitely be!

Forget it, if this is the case, then you go, don't let me continue to see you... My practice credits are still a little short, and I just happened to do some community activities. "

Lu Feng: ...

Are you starting to chase people away?

No, this is his home!
It was still early before the plane took off, and Lu Feng didn't leave immediately. Taking advantage of the time, he hurriedly helped Beckinsale make up extra lessons...

After a few days of rest after beating the Pacers, Falk prepared a business event package for Lu Feng.

Lu Feng's first stop is Los Angeles. As the capital of entertainment, Lu Feng needs to attend some entertainment industry gatherings in addition to participating in business activities.

In addition, Lu Feng still needs to play a charity match. The charity match is not intense and there is no risk.

After that, Lu Feng flew to New York and recorded several episodes of the program, including interviews and talk shows...

The final big head is to fly to Chicago to record an episode of "Oprah's Talk Show".

As the most popular show in the United States at the moment, "The Oprah Winfrey Show" has a huge influence in America. For most stars, they have to wait in line to pay for the show.

Lu Feng is different. He belongs to the kind invited by "Oprah Talk Show". Both Lu Feng and Falk attach great importance to the recording of this show.

"Two years ago, an oriental boy came to America...

Having never received professional basketball training before, he conquered the NCAA with his unparalleled talent and created the 'Seattle Miracle'!
After that, he led his hometown team to defeat and eliminate the US team at the Argentine Men's Basketball World Championships, and finally won the silver medal!
After a year of college basketball training, he joined the NBA and won the best rookie as a minor player. He is now one of the best basketball players in the world!

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to The Oprah Winfrey Show, and let me introduce you to our guest, Seattle's home star..."

"Rack! Rack! Rack!"

Oprah smiled and said loudly, "Let us welcome——Lu Feng!"

Lu Feng listened to the enthusiastic cheers at the scene, and the fans were not so real.

He believes that if the venue is changed to the Bulls' home court, the fans will definitely be scolding the sky now.

"Luck, how does it feel to be on The Oprah Show?"

"feels good!"

After the two sat down, Oprah started the normal interview.

"Have you seen our show before?"

Lu Feng: ...

I feel that no matter which country or program it is in, as long as it is an interview or a talk show, the opening must be this question.

"Of course I've seen it, but because I'm usually busy, I don't see many of them."

If you have seen it in your previous life, you have seen it, right?
"You are very honest. People tell me that you are a good boy, so I can understand it as: Haven't you watched my show?"

"First of all, let me state that I am an adult, you can change my name."

"So, can you drink in bars and clubs?"

Lu Feng: ...

"Well, you may have been in, but we both know there's no way you'd admit it."

As the first black woman to host a show, Oprah will talk to guests about sensitive topics, such as child abuse, crime, race and religion, after the opening introduction every time...

"As an Asian, I have a very traditional view of crime, and any crime is unacceptable to me."

"Of course there's racism, but I choose to ignore that, it's more about jealousy in my opinion."

……

"Luck, do you have faith?"

"Have!"

"What is that, Christianity, Buddhism, or Chinese Taoism?"

"I believe in science!"

Oprah: ? ? ?

"Science? Can this be considered a kind of faith?"

"Why not?
I was born in the world because of the reproductive behavior of living things.

I can grow because of cell division.

After I die, my body will be decomposed by microorganisms.

How to come, how to experience, how to leave... Every science tells me the answer.

Eat when you are hungry, drink water when you are thirsty, go to the hospital when you are sick, and go to work if you have no money. These sciences also told me. "

Oprah narrowed her eyes, covered her smile and said, "Yes, you have great potential to be the pope. Have you ever considered developing a church? A church that believes in science, that must be very interesting."

After chatting for a while, Lu Feng used various jokes he borrowed from Future Network to make the audience laugh continuously.

"This topic has also been crossed, and if I go on like this, I will lose my job.

Alright, let's talk about your major next. "

"Finance, of course no problem!"

"No, it's basketball!" Oprah pretended to be angry and glared at Lu Feng.

"The next topic is a bit serious. Rucker, as a star like Maggie, what do you think of the fact that Maggie had to retire because of AIDS?"

"I see with my eyes, of course, sometimes I also listen, I turn up the volume of the TV, then listen to the news and do other work..."

Lu Feng smiled and said:

"Okay, no kidding.

To be honest, the topic of AIDS is very serious. Both men and women need to take safety measures when in-depth communication. This is not only responsible for others, but also for themselves.

Maggie has had some troubles but I believe he can work it out, he is now using a 'cocktail' of treatment which has been proven in scientific journals.

I look forward to Maggie returning to the NBA, and this day will definitely come. "

Afterwards, Lu Feng lay on the sofa with Ge You, and continued:
"However, this also requires Maggie's own efforts. Judging from his recent body changes, even if Maggie eliminates the virus in his body, it will not be so easy for him to come back."

After Maji retired, he started posting about me anyway, all kinds of eating, drinking and having fun, and making money by appearing on shows.

Lu Feng met him once in Los Angeles before, and he could only say... well, he is very lucky, no wonder Maggie can beat AIDS.

Oprah applauded and said: "You are the first person I met who is willing to support Maggie. He will be very happy after watching the show."

"Then on to the next topic, Michael Jordan...

Well, I guess I don't need to say more, what do you think, Lark, about what happened to Michael recently? "

"I can't understand why the media criticizes Michael so much.

The things he did were so normal in the NBA, everyone knew that.

From my point of view, as long as Michael doesn't do drugs, doesn't commit crimes, and doesn't affect me, it's fine.

Besides, he earned money and spent it on his hobbies, which has nothing to do with me. "

Oprah thought for a while and asked, "So you don't let your teammates eat when they don't play well?"

Lu Feng: ...

Well, this thing is really outrageous.

Danzi, Danzi, how can you be so good at making trouble?
"Of course not, but if I were teammates with Michael, I wouldn't give him any chance to bully me."

"Well, I found out that you recently invested in a TV series, or did you write the script yourself, is this your hobby?"

Lu Feng:? ? ?
This turning point was caught off guard, and Lu Feng didn't even recall it.

"It's not a hobby. Others think that the script I wrote is good, so they shoot it directly. This is normal."

After waiting for a while, Oprah realized that Lu Feng had just said this, and said in surprise, "Aren't you going to place an advertisement?"

Lu Feng was taken aback for a moment, and then realized what the other party meant, and said quickly:

"The TV series "Friends" written by me is preparing for filming, and fans who are interested can pay attention to it.

The filming team has just been set up, the actors have not yet been recruited, in the second half of next year..."

After a brief chat, Oprah immediately asked: "I found out that you and your college teammate Brent Merritt have co-founded an entertainment company. Do you have any plans to make a movie?"

"Of course there are. There are several films being filmed now, but they are all low-budget films. This is just my first attempt."

Lu Feng said it was a small movie, but in fact, he carefully selected all of them based on his memory, and he thought they could make money.

Now Lu Feng is waiting for the Marvel toy market to play, and then enter the market to buy, and then shoot the Marvel series of movies, that is the real gold-swallowing beast.

Oprah froze for a moment, then explained: "Sorry, I mean, do you have any plans to appear in a movie or TV show yourself?"

play in movie?
Lu Feng thought about it, but he wasn't so sure.

He doesn't mind being amphibious, but it's too tiring to do that. Lu Feng knows that he will only get busier in the future, but even so, he still needs to have some free time that he can allocate by himself.

"I don't have this plan yet, and I'm afraid there won't be any until I win the championship."

Oprah expressed a little disappointment, then took out an all-black album, and said: "I also found out that you have released a music album, JAY, is this you?"

Lu Feng: ...

He did release an album, but because it is under a pseudonym and the sales volume is small, not many people know about it.

Lu Feng didn't expect that Oprah would dig out things that even his teammates didn't know.

After Lu Feng admitted, Oprah immediately asked: "After I got the album, I listened to it several times. God, you can still make music. Why haven't you seen your promotion?"

"Music is just one of my hobbies, and a lot of people in the NBA have their own music rooms, and as far as I know, Michael has one too.

I don't intend to invest too much in the music, so there is no promotion. "

At the beginning, Lu Feng planned to devote himself to making music, but he chose to give up after realizing it was too slow.

Singing or something, after the album is released, commercial performances and concerts are required to make money. He has no extra energy and time.

But since Oprah took the initiative to bring it up, he also intends to seize the opportunity and show off.

"I guess what you want me to do, do you have an instrument ready?"

"You can play an instrument? God, we were planning a band!"

"It's better to have a band. Is there a guitar or a piano?"

The audience was stunned, Lu Feng actually wanted to play the piano and sing!

Lu Feng was also very surprised, he didn't expect this to be his first live performance.

"Oprah's Talk Show" has no detailed script, only a general flow, like other talk shows in the 90s.

But in the process that Lu Feng had read, there was no section about asking him to sing.

But it's also normal, talk show, if you have the opportunity, of course you have to find an opportunity to fix the guests.

After Lu Feng got in touch with the band, he found out that the band just knew that it was him who came. They didn't know that JAY was Lu Feng's pseudonym before.

A group of people discussed it, and finally Lu Feng chose to sing "When I was your man" from the album, which is a song by Martian brother in his previous life.

I chose this song for nothing else, because Lu Feng can play the piano live, play and sing by himself, forcing Graman!

Hearing that Lu Feng didn't need a band, the others were stunned...

Does Lu Feng play so big, isn't he afraid of accidents on the stage?

Everyone chatted well, and Lu Feng suddenly didn't need them anymore!

Playing basketball with feints, and negotiating stage with feints?
Sure enough, when it comes to feints, Lu Feng is a professional!

When the stage was ready, the audience found that the rest of the band was standing alone in the audience, weak and helpless.

A piano was brought up on the stage, and after Lu Feng sat on it, he directly signaled that he was ready to start.

Oprah has no objection to Lu Feng wanting to perform alone. It doesn't matter whether the performance is good or not, as long as the performance is effective.

Even in the early 90s, many stars in the NBA released albums.

As for the effect... ahem!
After the stage was ready, a beam of white light hit the piano, Lu Feng was wearing a black suit, and a single figure was sitting alone on a chair...

The stage has not yet begun, but the feeling is already in place!
Oprah: Yo, there's something.

When ready, Lu Feng signaled slightly, and introduced: "When I was your man (I was your favorite person)"!"

As the first key was pressed, the scene instantly became quiet...

The audience listened and watched, and found that Lu Fengqin played surprisingly well.

"

Same bed but it feels just a little bit bigger now.
Our song on the radio but it dont sound the same...

"

After Lu Feng opened his mouth, the audience was instantly surprised that Lu Feng could really sing!
And it sings so well!
"

And it all just sound like uh uh uh.
Hmmm too young too dumb to realize.
That I should have bought you flowers and held your hand.
Should have given you all my hours when I had the chance.
"

After listening for a while, the audience realized that Lu Feng could not sing, but he could sing very well!
Whether it is timbre or technique, it is no worse than professional singers!

As Lu Feng poured out the lyrics line by line, the audience also changed from curiosity at the beginning to enjoyment.

"Do all the things I should have done when I was your man..."

After the last line of the lyrics was sung, the scene set off violent cheers.

Oprah took the lead in applauding and said loudly to the audience:
"I understand you, I understand you!

Rucker, you shouldn't be playing basketball, you should be a singer! "

Lu Feng smiled and didn't answer the other party's words.

"You know, it's just one of my hobbies. I love basketball more than that!"

"I just want to ask, is the album "Man of Miracles" still on sale? When I asked before, it seemed to be sold out."

Lu Feng was stunned for a moment, and then said: "I didn't know about it. At that time, only 1 copies were released, and there may be some pirated copies..." Then he smiled and said: "In this case, let me talk to the people in the company and let them hurry up and make it!"

……

"Gift Crab, you guys can still sing?"

After the program finished recording, Jordan complained directly to Lu Feng, becoming more and more jealous of him.

Jordan didn't expect that there would be a day when he would be so jealous of others!
"Michael, this is talent. If you want to blame it, blame your parents. Seriously, you have such a good basketball talent that you have already surpassed many others. People must learn to be content, do you understand that self-sufficiency is always happy?"

Jordan:? ? ?
Don't lie to me, is your basketball talent bad?
Lu Feng was the guest, and Jordan was the audience. After the show was recorded, Jordan invited Lu Feng to a meal, and the two expressed their opinions on the league and the media...

So far this season, the Bulls' record has changed from 3 wins and 2 losses to 5 wins and 2 losses, and they finally look like defending champions.

The pressure on Jordan is also much less than this time last week, so he is in the mood to come and watch the talk show.

This season, the Bulls had three back-to-backs at the beginning of the season. The defending champion was used by the league to death, but Jordan was not affected in any way.

Although he has constant problems off the court, in terms of basketball, the media is full of hype.

One moment he was scolding, but the next moment he was boasting, that is to say, the media didn't have an anthropomorphic image, otherwise he would be more or less an actor, and the schizophrenic performance was too good!

"Fack, I don't know where they got the courage to tell the reporters. They obviously won the championship with me, but now they all look like uncles. Not only are they asking for money, but they don't play well!"

More than half of the first month has passed, except for Jordan and Pippen, the Bulls have not yet regained their form, and the gluttony is a bit serious.

Danzi was so unlucky that his teeth would get stuck in cold water, so Lu Feng didn't know what to say.

The Supersonics' schedule this season is not too bad, at least not comparable to the Bulls...

In the afternoon, Lu Feng flew alone from Chicago to Cleveland to join the team. After the sweet schedule of the first week, the SuperSonics would play a wave of five consecutive away games, four games in the East and one game in the West. The first game was an away game against the Cleveland Cavaliers.
