In the game against the Celestial National Team, the Magic won, and Joni also scored beautiful data of 44 points, 3 rebounds and 5 assists. However, such data did not make Joni prove himself. On the contrary, there were more doubts.

"He is a player with a quick trick. I can't understand why the Magic chose him."

"Some of his shooting choices are unreasonable. Of course, this year's No. 13 pick Kobe Bryant is also like this, but it is obvious that he does not have the same strength as Kobe Bryant, so the Magic are out of sight!"

"Even a defender from the Celestial Empire can easily break through him and score in front of him. You can imagine how bad his defense is. A big colander on the defensive end, this time the Magic obviously wasted a first-round draft pick and a first-round pick contract."

There were endless criticisms in the media, and at the same time, several media outlets from the Celestial Empire came to the United States also took action. Which country is the Asian player who completely exploded with Sun Jun and Hu Weidong? This is what these Celestial Empire media are curious about, and they began to inquire around.

However, this kind of inquiry has little effect. After all, the current Celestial Empire is not the 21st century that is not the 21st century that can't speak English without saying a word. Even these journalists who go abroad do not know how to speak English. Their inquiry means to catch the translator, then find some officials at the bottom of the alliance, ask questions, and then they can't ask anything.

For example, the reporter said to the translator: "Ask him what country is the yellow man on the field today."

Then the translator asked the league officials in English: "Which country is the Asian player on the field today?"

Then the answer from the league officials was obvious: "Of course they are Americans. There are still very few foreign players in the NBA now, only..." Then they were slowly ripped off by some league officials.

However, among this group of reporters, one reporter is different from other reporters. Zhang Weiping, who is currently a columnist of Tsinghua News Agency's Basketball Express, also came to the United States for interviews. He will follow up and report on the Atlanta Olympics. As a member of the Celestial National Team in the 1960s and 1970s, Zhang Weiping's English is still very good.

The Asian defender who was evenly matched with Hu Weidong in the last game was naturally noticed by Zhang Weiping. Like other reporters, he also found NBA officials and asked about Jonny, but he got very little information. He only knew that the player's full name was Jonny Lee, from Tennessee, went to high school in Indiana, and now a Magic player.

Then he didn't know, but when he returned to the Tianchao reporter's residence that day, several reporters were sending press releases to the country, and then boasted: "Oh, I'm so tired, the final result is not very good..." Then the reporter stopped with an unfathomable look on his face.

When other reporters couldn't help asking, "What's the result?"

And Zhang Weiping also came over.

This reporter who seemed to have received some news said proudly: "I found a Korean colleague and found out who was a Korean American who was from Lee. It was impossible to get along with our Celestial Empire!"

"Oh~~! That's a pity!" Several reporters who were surrounding him sighed.

Zhang Weiping did not continue to listen. The reporter just got a news from a Korean reporter. This kind of word-of-mouth is the most likely to make mistakes. Zhang Weiping didn't believe it. He had decided to find the Magic's management and apply for an exclusive interview. Even if the person named Joni Lee was a Korean, it would be considered a big news. After all, this is the first Asian player to enter the NBA.

When he came to his room, Zhang Weiping found the phone number, then found a large bag of business cards from his pocket, flipped around, found a business card, and then called according to the phone number above.

"Hey, is it Mr. Adrian Wonarovsky? I am Wei Ping of the Celestial Dynasty. Zhang, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, I am now working in the Tsinghua Basketball Express in the Celestial Dynasty. I want to ask you for help and help me find the owner of the Orlando Magic. I want to give an exclusive interview to their Asian rookie. Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you, okay, I will go to downtown Los Angeles to find you tomorrow."

Zhang Weiping quickly made a phone call. When he came to the United States for 1988 years, he met a media friend, Wanalowski of Yahoo Sports, who is quite famous in the American sports industry.

The next day, Joni, who was training in the training hall, was called over by Ricci Adubatu, which made Joni a little strange. Could it be that the coach changed his mind in the next game and wanted him to play? This made Joni very excited, but when he walked into Ricci Adubatu's office, he knew what he was doing.

Two people stood in the office, two reporters holding cameras, one of whom was a familiar yellow man.

Joni walked in, and Richie Adubatu also spoke: "Joni, these two reporters want to have an exclusive interview with you. You can do an exclusive interview for them now, I'll go out first." After that, Richie Adubatu left the office, and he still had to watch the training on the court.

"Hi, hello, you're good too." Joni said hello. The first one you use is English. There is nothing special. Zhang Weiping just stared at Joni. When Joni's second one said, Zhang Weiping widened his eyes. He spoke Chinese! Zhang Weiping felt that his breathing was much faster, Chinese! What does this mean?!

Zhang Weiping swept around, as if he was confirming whether there were no other Chinese journalists around him. There was indeed no, but his expression was still excited, and then he asked with a trembling trembling: "Are you a native of the Celestial Empire?"

"No." As soon as Joni said, Zhang Weiping's heart immediately became cold, but then.

"I am an American, but my motherland is the Celestial Empire." Joni's next sentence made Zhang Weiping excited again. He is a Celestial Empire! He is! This is big news! Some people from the Celestial Empire have entered the NBA!

"Okay, let's start this interview." Joni and Zhang Weiping were speaking in Chinese, and Wonarovsky didn't understand it very much, so he was ready to start the interview until the two of them stopped talking.

Now Wonarovsky is a reporter at Yahoo Sports, but he is just a little reporter, but he is just a little reporter. This time he came to give an interview to Joni, and Wonarovsky was a little reluctant. If Zhang Weiping hadn't found him, he would definitely not have come to Joni's interview, so he didn't want to waste time. He wanted to finish it early so that he could get off work.

Zhang Weiping also knew it. He hurriedly sat on the sofa, then looked at Joni and asked questions in English, mainly because of Wonarovsky. After all, Wonarovsky helped him, so he couldn't let others listen to him speak Chinese with Lee for a long time, and then let Wonarovsky go for a vain.

The interview began soon.
Chapter completed!
