Heizi's Basketball: I'm not the boss?

Chapter 124 next question
"Interview?"

Xiang Yang looked stunned and asked, "Isn't it more appropriate for Ryota to do post-game interviews?"

In terms of popularity and appearance, Kise is undoubtedly the best interview candidate. He seems to be born to stand in the spotlight.

Takeuchi waved his hand and explained: "You are the protagonist today! Stop talking nonsense and hurry up. Besides, Kise has already gone home."

After speaking, Takeuchi pulled Xiangyang up and went to the place where the reporter interviewed after the match. Along the way, he kept fiddled with his hair and helped Xiangyang tidy up.

In his two lifetimes, Xiang Yang has never dealt with something like a reporter's interview. Although he has always been calm, he is also a little nervous at this moment.

Takeuchi saw Xiang Yang's thoughts and comforted him: "It doesn't matter, I will help you if any bad problems arise. Remember to be humble when the time comes and don't say anything too full. Journalists are creatures like to pick out words and make fuss. Don’t let them get into trouble.”

I have to say that Takeuchi was very reliable when he became serious. With his comfort, Xiang Yang also regained his composure and was ready to deal with this interview.

……

"I'm coming!"

As soon as Takeuchi led Xiang Yang through the door, a dazzling flash of light hit Xiang Yang's eyes, followed by the continuous sound of camera shutters.

At Takeuchi's signal, Xiang Yang stepped forward and sat down. Seeing more than ten microphones in front of him, he couldn't help but panic.

Talent: Super thinking has been activated.

The mechanical sound flashed in his mind, Xiang Yang's thinking ability was strengthened, the speed of the brain receiving information was also accelerated, and the whole person suddenly relaxed.

Fortunately, many talents can be used when not playing.

Xiang Yang was secretly glad, otherwise he really wouldn't know how to deal with this situation.

Takeuchi on the side watched Xiang Yang quickly find his state, and was surprised in his heart: This kid still has talent in this area?
Not only Takeuchi, but Xiang Yang's emotional changes from the time he came in to when he sat down were also seen by the reporters. They looked at each other. A female reporter with heavy makeup was the first to ask: "Mr. Xiang Yang, congratulations on your victory." The team won the Winter Cup this year, how do you feel now?"

Xiang Yang did not speak in a hurry, but glanced at Takeuchi beside him and found that his coach had no reaction. It seemed that he could answer this question directly.

"I'm very happy. It feels great to be able to work hard with my teammates to win the game."

Listening to Xiang Yang's words, the female reporter smiled, as if she was happy with Xiang Yang.

"What do you think of today's opponent, Jorin High School?"

Xiang Yang glanced at Takeuchi again. This small gesture did not escape the eyes of reporters. Takeuchi crossed his hands under his nose without any expression.

In his opinion, with Xiangyang's intelligence, problems of this level cannot trouble him at all.

"Well... Cheng Rin's team spirit is great. Everyone in the team has unique strengths. Playing against them will feel like competing against a master. They are a great team."

Without Takeuchi's prompt, Xiang Yang naturally spoke according to his own ideas. He recalled the way those NBA stars with high EQ spoke in interviews in his previous life, and he thought this answer was pretty watertight.

Takeuchi nodded secretly, it seemed that his worries were somewhat unnecessary.

"Oh~ that's it."

The female reporter smiled sweetly, lowered her head and moved her pen twice, as if she was about to record something, when suddenly she raised her head with a malicious smile on her face.

"By the way, Mr. Xiangyang, I also want to ask, if it is next summer and you can still enter the finals, which team do you most want to play against?"

Takeuchi, who was about to take a drink of water to moisten his throat, immediately put down the water bottle in his hand and looked a little ugly when he heard the female reporter's latest question.

This kind of question is an obvious way to dig holes, especially for young people who are ambitious, and it is easy to get some "breaking" news!

Xiang Yang, who was in a state of accelerated thinking, instantly heard the reporter's inner meaning. At the same time, he also felt that Takeuchi was secretly poking him under the table. He turned around and glanced, and sure enough, Takeuchi was winking desperately at him.

Takeuchi: Don’t answer directly!Be humble!
Xiang Yang: Don't answer directly? OK!

Xiang Yang understood instantly. He turned to the female reporter and smiled: "Next question."

As soon as these words came out, the scene that was a little noisy just now immediately became quiet.The smile on the female reporter's face froze instantly, and the movements recorded on her hand also paused.

Takeuchi on the side heard Xiang Yang's answer, and his jaw dropped in shock.

Xiang Yang noticed the change in Takeuchi's expression, turned around and winked at him: Don't worry, I'm as smart as a monkey.

When NBA stars in previous lives faced questions they didn't want to answer, they always said simply: next question.

At that moment, countless answers flashed through Xiang Yang's mind. After careful selection, this one was the most suitable!

Just when the atmosphere became awkward and the air became quieter, another reporter stepped forward to save the situation.

"Ahem...Mr. Xiangyang, what is the secret of your team winning the championship?"

While talking, this reporter also quietly pulled the female reporter just now, blocking her behind.

Well, this question sounds much friendlier.

Xiang Yang nodded with satisfaction and answered the question.

"Work hard, the only specialty of our team is hard work."

Next, the reporters asked questions one after another, but they were all questions that were easy to answer and had no text traps.

They were afraid that when it was their turn, Xiang Yang would ask "next question" again, and how embarrassing the scene would be. Just look at the female reporter who came on first.

Takeuchi was dumbfounded on the sidelines. At this moment, he had doubts about his interview career of more than ten years.

Is this the answer we have to answer when faced with the problem of digging holes?
Seeing the frightened expressions of the reporters when asking questions, Takeuchi felt that he had discovered the door to a new world.

He will try this next time too!
……

After about half an hour, the interview finally ended. Seeing the reporters in front of him leaving one after another without any intention of conducting private interviews, Xiang Yang smacked his lips with some unfinished content.

Interviewing is not that difficult!The reporters are all very nice and talk nicely. I love it here!Come back next year for an interview!

Just as Xiang Yang and Takeuchi stood up to leave one after another, the last remaining reporter stopped Xiang Yang.

"Well, Mr. Xiangyang, I have another question to ask you."

Um?Private interview?

Xiang Yang's eyes lit up. He hadn't had enough. Looking back, he found that it was a female reporter who was standing at the far side during the interview. She seemed unfamiliar with other colleagues and only asked one question during the interview. Others took the lead.

Seeing Xiang Yang stop, the female reporter breathed a sigh of relief, put the pen in her pocket, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, it's not part of the interview. It's just my personal question!"

At the end of the sentence, the female reporter seemed to remember something and quickly added.

"Of course! Mr. Xiangyang, it's okay if you don't want to answer!"

Xiang Yang nodded in response and raised his hand to signal reporters to ask questions.

"Excuse me, Mr. Xiangyang, is your name Xiangyang?"

Xiang Yang:…

The female reporter seemed to realize that her question was a bit like an idiot. She showed an awkward smile and explained: "Sorry, I mean, there are very few people with a name like Neon. Mr. Xiangyang, your name is a bit like the one from the flower garden." Well, do you know how to grow flowers?"

plant flowers...

Of course Xiang Yang knew that, not only that, he was also a flower grower in his previous life.

"My name is Xiangyang. It was given by my parents. I do know how to grow flowers, but I was born in Neon."

Is it really so...

There was a hint of disappointment in the female reporter's eyes, but she quickly adjusted herself, raised her head and bowed to say hello to Xiang Yang, and trotted away.

Looking at her leaving figure, Xiang Yang fell into deep thought and didn't know what he was thinking.

At this time, Takeuchi interrupted Xiang Yang's thinking.

"Let's go, your efforts should bear fruit."

Ok?
Xiang Yang was stunned by Takeuchi's words, and then he understood something and a smile appeared on his face.

Takeuchi also laughed, and the two returned to Haichang's locker room side by side. At this time, everyone else in the locker room had already gone back, only the two of them were left.

Takeuchi sat down on the bench, took out his cell phone, and dialed a number.

Xiang Yang also took out his mobile phone and looked at the call record from Masako with a smile on his face.

Miss Masako will be very happy if she knows that he won the championship and successfully entered the national youth team!
Xiang Yang secretly decided to tell her the news when he went to the Shark Gym in the evening to give her a surprise!
For now, let's not call her.

Just as Xiangyang was making up his mind, Takeuchi's phone was dialed at the same time.

"Moses Moses, President of Liguo, did you watch today's finals?"

"Have any scouts gone to see it? The report has been given to you? That's okay, that's okay."

"Huh? Have you changed your mind? Hahahaha, you've changed your mind."

Takeuchi was talking on the phone with a smile, not forgetting to give Xiang Yang an OK gesture.

"Hey, I'm listening, please continue... ah?"

I don't know what was said on the other end of the phone. Takeuchi's expression suddenly froze, and the smile that had not dissipated on his face also froze.

Xiang Yang was a little strange. With his performance today, there was no reason why he couldn't be selected for the National Youth Team. If Akashi didn't take the path of professional basketball, among his peers, Xiang Yang really didn't believe that Neon and high school point guards could do it. There is no one in the National Youth Team who can compete with him.

"Okay, okay, then I'll tell him, goodbye, President Li Guo."

After hanging up the phone, Takeuchi pondered for a while, and then forced a smile towards Xiangyang.

"Xiang Yang, President Li Guo said that your performance is good and there is no problem in joining the national youth team!"

Xiang Yang remained calm. If the other end of the phone was really what Takeuchi said, he wouldn't have reacted like that just now. There should be a but after this sentence.

As expected, Takeuchi rubbed his face and continued: "But, you have to go to the Basketball Association to participate in a trial training first, which is probably a physical fitness test. After you complete it, you can enter!"
