The toughest man in the NBA

Chapter 68 This is just the beginning

"Tu Man, do you have a girlfriend?"

"Tu Man, will you join the national team?"

"Tu Man, when will you play in the CBA?"

"Slaughter..."

Tuman was in a mess by asking around, what was it all about?

He simply didn't speak, and put on a polite but awkward smile on his face, staring at a hale and hearty old man in front of him.

The old man also stared at him with a smile. He was the only reporter who didn't ask any questions.

Tu Man recognized him. People in the Jianghu called Weiping Bryant, the best striker of the national team, and now the most popular commentator in domestic basketball circles, Zhang Weiping.

After a while, the group of journalists with shaved heads and hot heads finally quieted down.

Zhang Weiping gestured behind him, cleared his throat and said:
"Tu Man, it's the first time we meet, let's say hello to the elders in our hometown!"

Stretch out the microphone, with a prominent logo on it——

CCTV-5!
Tu Man smiled, cupped his fists and said:
"Hello, Teacher Zhang, hello to the folks in my hometown, I am Tuman. The Mid-Autumn Festival has just passed, and I wish you all a happy new year. I miss you all!"

The reporters suddenly burst into laughter, and Zhang Weiping asked:
"The NBA officially announced the best rookie in the East and West in November yesterday. You are the best in the West. Congratulations, what do you want to say?"

Tu Man smiled:
"You're welcome, this is what it should be!"

Zhang Weiping laughed and said:

"You're welcome. Why, do you think this year's rookies pose no threat to you?"

Tu Man grinned:
"That's not true. Blake Griffin and John Wall are superstar embryos, and DeMarcus Cousins ​​is also very good. But their tactical status in their respective teams is not very clear, unlike the Suns. Train me with all my strength, the whole team feeds the ball and scores 60 points, they are very greedy, but they are not qualified..."

Zhang Weiping clapped his hands and laughed loudly, praising:

"Not bad, not bad. Don't forget the well-digger when you drink water. The Phoenix Suns are smart, and you have worked hard enough. But, having said that, your rookie season is really much more comfortable than Yao Ming's year!"

Turning the subject, he asked again:

"The All-Star voting has already started. Yao Ming and Ah Lian are canvassing for you. Why are you silent?"

Tu Man smiled foolishly:
"Actually, I want to play All-Stars with Dayao and Ah Lian. How exciting! It's a pity that people's wishes are not fulfilled. I am soliciting votes at this time, and I seem to be taking advantage of others..."

Zhang Weiping said:

"Actually, it's not that serious. If domestic fans don't vote for you, it's at the expense of others."

Tu Man scratched the back of his head and said with a smile:
"Then I'm welcome!"

Put your hands together and say reverently:
"Big brothers, sisters, uncles and aunts, and neighbors who have passed by in China, please support the ticket venue for those who have tickets, and the individual venue for those who don't. Let's cast a precious vote for the great Tuman!"

Zhang Weiping laughed and said:

"You talk about cross talk with this!"

Tu Man added:

"It doesn't need to be too much. I don't have extravagant hopes for the top votes. I can be a little higher than Bynum and Marc Gasol. It's good to make it into the starting lineup. Please!"

Zhang Weiping asked a few questions, then gave up the seat to someone else.

They are all colleagues, and it is not easy to get out.

So Tu Man was overwhelmed by all kinds of weird questions, such as nationality, whether he had an illegitimate child, whether he had violent tendencies, whether he smoked opium...

Are you sick?
These guys are crazy!
I wasn't ready to ask questions at all, I was only thinking about how to create a hot spot and get a big red envelope!
Tu Man didn't hate them, he just thought they were speaking Japanese.

Smile and don't speak.

Fortunately, the locker room was only open for half an hour, and the interview ended quickly. Except for Zhang Weiping, the others hardly took anything of value out of Tu Man's mouth.

Most of the reporters looked very unhappy, and the bonus was wasted again.

This kid is so slippery!

After the appearance ceremony, the NBA officially awarded Tuman the best rookie trophy in the Western Conference in November. It is a glass trophy with the wonderful moment of Tuman dunking on it.

Live interview with still glamorous Lindsay Smith:
"Congratulations, Tu Man!"

Tu Man laughed and said:

"Don't worry, you will say this sentence five times in the next five months!"

Lindsay Smith smiled:
"Tu Man, you are so domineering, the fans will go crazy!"

As she said, the fans at the scene had already started clamoring, and the deafening roar erupted from the US Airways Center Arena, and everyone shouted in unison:

"Five more times, five more times, five more times..."

Tu Man grabbed the microphone and said proudly:

"This is just the beginning. When we take off from Arizona, there will be tears of opponents and wreaths of victory. You will see the best rookie, the best rebounder, the best blocked shot, the best defensive player, the birth of the MVP, give It took us a few years to engrave the name of the Phoenix Suns on the O'Brien Cup!"

Tu Man spoke very slowly, every word fell to the ground like a thunderbolt.

Every time he read an honor, the fans cheered, and the voice became louder and louder.

When he said the O'Brien Cup, the entire arena exploded, and the fans screamed desperately, as if they had realized the long-cherished wish they had been waiting for for 42 years...

Tu Man raised his hands high, embracing the cheers of his subjects like a king. In the mottled light and shadow of the entire stadium, he looked extremely tall. He is the king of Arizona!

Lindsay Smith's eyes are full of illusions, this is a born superstar!
Robert Sarver jumped up from his seat, his blood boiled, and he finally saw a guy who brought tears to his eyes after taking over the Suns for six years!
It's worth the money!

Looking at the two No. [-] picks struggling on the rookie list, Robert Sarver was bursting with uncontrollable ecstasy. The Phoenix Suns are really going to take off...

Griffin is too depressed. He averaged 20.2 points, 11.6 rebounds, and 2.6 blocks per game this month, but he was still suppressed by Tuman, not even the best of the month!

Even more depressing is another champion, John Wall.

He didn't even make a second-round pick. Landry Fields of the Knicks averaged only 10.8 points and 7.1 rebounds per game. .

The ecology in the east is so rich, but the playing time is limited, the data can't be refreshed at all, so what can I do if I'm depressed?

Could it be that Coach Sanders was pulled out and beaten up?
It's not bragging that Tu Man is so arrogant.

Only two bones and four pieces of meat have been replaced, and it can be so hard. As long as he doesn't make a mess, beat it hard, and enter a virtuous circle, sooner or later the wall of honor will be filled!

Tu Man got a system notification two days ago, and received the benefits of "Best Rookie of the Month in the West"——

The redemption authority of the three muscles.

But he didn't use it. Another month has passed. Who knows which piece of meat ALS has targeted?
In the absence of Nash, the Suns' record is not guaranteed, and Zhou Best can't win for a long time, so they can only save a few more meat, just in case.
