Travel back to be a superstar

Chapter 12 All superstars sit on the bench?

October 10th, 6:7 am BJ time, in the US it is 20:5 pm on October 7th.At the Quicken Loans Center, the home court of the Cleveland Cavaliers, the Cavaliers ushered in their first preseason game, and the Magic came to challenge.As usual, Jiang Dashan came to the arena early, but he found that the arena was full of spectators.What was different from usual was that the fans were so enthusiastic that they instantly ignited the atmosphere of the arena.Jiang Dashan couldn't help being a little excited and excited, so much so that his palms were sweating.

When he came to the locker room and put on a brand new jersey, Jiang Dashan looked at his other teammates a little at a loss.

"Hey, don't be nervous, little J." James ran over and patted Jiang Dashan, "You will have a chance to play."

There are about 21 players in the preseason Cavaliers roster. Dengtai Jones quit the team due to physical reasons, which made all the players feel a little sad. Jones is an old player and has spent 14 years in the NBA. Dengtai Jones is reluctant to part with everyone, and then hopes that Jiang Dashan can inherit his jersey number, because he thinks this Chinese boy can shine on the NBA stage.So Jiang Dashan inherited Dengtai Jones' jersey No. 30.In this way, the Cavaliers currently have 20 players left on the roster.

The game is about to start, and all the players are on the field to warm up.

Zhao Jin is a CCTV reporter, mainly in charge of NBA live interviews.There are several games today, but Zhao Jin chose to come to Cleveland to watch the Cavaliers' first preseason game. After all, the Cavaliers were the championship champions last season. Although the Warriors who got Durant are the most championship-looking this season, Zhao Jin is a Cavaliers fan.

Zhao Jin led his interviewing colleagues and went into the venue after showing his job card. As usual, he and his colleagues prepared all the interview equipment. Just when they were about to sit on the ground and wait for the game to start, Zhao Jin found something wrong. "Old Li, look at the number 30, why is it not Dengtai Jones? And, why is it so short!"

"Hey, it's really not, it seems to be an Asian!"

"Did Tay-Jones retire? The news isn't on the air."

"It may be relatively low-key, but I really want to know who is wearing the number 30. It must not be Japanese or Korean. Their national basketball is too weak."

"Well, is it one of us? Haven't heard of anyone coming to the NBA?"

"I know who he is!" A little girl next to the team shouted, "He's the dunk dunk guy at the free throw line! Look." The little girl picked up her mobile phone, searched casually on Baidu, clicked on the video, and everyone gathered together. After a look, it really looks so similar!Zhao Jin greeted everyone and started working immediately. If it is really a Chinese player, it will definitely be big news!Zhao Jin stood up, patted his butt, and walked to No. 30 in two or three steps.

Although he may not play, Jiang Dashan is still very excited and happy at the moment.Anyway, he can be regarded as a reserve member of the Cavaliers!There is a chance to stay.Looking at the seats full on both sides, there are tens of thousands of people, darling.It is a great honor to play under the gaze of so many people, even if it is just a face!I must become an official player!Jiang Dashan secretly encouraged himself.At this time, he found a reporter walked up to him.

"Hello, I'm Zhao Jin, a reporter from CCTV. Are you wearing Deng Tai Jones' jersey?" Zhao Jin asked Jiang Dashan in fluent English.

"Hello, I'm Jiang Dashan, everyone calls me LETTLE J" Jiang Dashan replied to Zhao Jin in standard Mandarin.

"Fuck!" Zhao Jin swears in surprise, and then excitedly holds Jiang Dashan's hand, "I'm sorry, I'm so excited. God, Yi Jianlian didn't come to the NBA, and neither did Zhou Qi. Although Jeremy Lin has Chinese blood, he is indeed an American! I didn't expect that! There are Chinese people in the NBA again!"

When everyone heard this, they immediately gathered around, "Please introduce yourself."

"Hi everyone, my name is Jiang Dashan, I am 28 years old, and I am Chinese."

"Have you already signed with the Cavaliers? Where is Dengtai Jones? You squeezed it out?"

"No, Dengtai Jones is a great player. We all like him. He chose to retire because of his health. He retired in a low-key manner. I have not signed with the Cavaliers. I am still in the probationary period. According to Chinese words, I am now just a temporary worker and may be fired at any time."

"I remember that you haven't played in the league before. You just posted a video of you dunking at the free throw line on the Internet. Is that video true?"

"Um, is it true? You will know if you pay more attention to me in the future." Jiang Dashan smiled cheaply, "The game is about to start, I have to sit on the bench..."

Zhao Jin asked a few simple questions, then flew to the edge of the field, and everyone formed a circle. Zhao Jin put down the equipment, squatted on the ground, and raised his head. At this moment, his eye circles were already red, and he glanced at his colleagues. Everyone was similar.Puchi~ Zhao Jin laughed softly, and everyone laughed, "I'm so fucking excited."

"Who said it wasn't."

"Hurry up and pass the news back to the studio. Let the whole of China watch the live broadcast. Why are you Chinese coming to the NBA again!"

Today is a sunny day. Yang Yi and Sun Zhengping came to the studio, ready to start talking about today's game, the first preseason game between the Cavaliers and the Magic.The two arrived at the studio early. Just after putting on their makeup, Xiao Zhang, the correspondent from the outside, ran in. "Director Sun, Director Yang, the field reporter Mr. Zhao just communicated a few times and asked to connect with the two of you, saying that there is important news!"

"This Zhao Jin, did he get James' autograph? Haha, I know he's a fan of the Cavaliers." Sun Zhengping laughed heartily and glanced at Yang Yi. "Let's pick it up. Maybe it's really big news. The Cavaliers' current roster hasn't been confirmed yet, maybe it has something to do with it."

"Then come in, let's take a look first."

"Zhao Jin, what's the big news?"

"Chinese! Director Sun, Teacher Yang, Chinese!" Only Zhao Jin shouted excitedly.

"What kind of Chinese, Yang Yi and I must be Chinese, talk to each other well," Sun Zhengping pretended to be angry.

"I'm so excited, I'm sorry. Director Sun, Teacher Yang, it's like this, Dengtai Jones of the Cavaliers has retired."

"Oh? I haven't heard of it, there's no news."

"It's like this. I just retired a few days ago. I'm relatively low-key."

"Oh, but Jones isn't too famous, and it's not a big news, so it's going to excite you."

"It's not big news, but someone is wearing his number, 30, and it's a Chinese!"

"What!" Sun Zhengping and Yang Yi were stunned when they heard the news, "Please explain clearly, who is it!"

"Do you still remember the free throw line dunk guy who was very popular on the Internet some time ago? That's him. He is now a scouting teammate of the Cavaliers. If he performs well in the preseason, he may be able to sign with the Cavaliers!"

Sun Zhengping and Yang Yi gasped, "Are you sure?"

"I'm sure, I interviewed him just now! I'll send the video of the interview right now, please edit it!"

"Okay, okay, hurry up!" Sun Zhengping looked at Yang Yi excitedly, "This year's NBA is worth watching!"

"Hey, I just don't know if I can sign the contract."

"If it is confirmed to be that kid, then the dunk from the free throw line is probably real. He is 1 meters tall, not easy. I like him."

"Let's prepare quickly, the broadcast will start immediately, I will go to the leader and apply to start the broadcast 3 minutes earlier." "Okay!"

"Dear fans and friends, today I will explain to you the first preseason game of the Cavaliers against the Orlando Magic." Yang Yi continued, "First of all, we want to show you a video, a video of dunk dunk at the free throw line that was very popular some time ago."

Then a dunk video of about 10 seconds was broadcast on TV.At this time, the audience in front of the TV were wondering, what the hell is this!But then they were stunned by what happened next.

"Maybe most of my friends think it's fake after watching it." Sun Zhengping said, "Actually, I don't believe it either, but now I have to believe it!" The eyes of the two people in the studio brightened, "Now we are solemnly broadcasting the interview from Cleveland for everyone! The free throw line dunk guy—Jiang Dashan, a 28-year-old player from JX XXX City in China! He is now one of the 20-man roster of the Cavaliers. After 6 preseason games, he is very likely to be kept by the Cavaliers!"

In the next minute, audiences across the country watched the interview from Zhao Jin. "I'm going to fuck your sister! She even went to the NBA!" After a brief surprise, the audience all over the country exclaimed, "Jiang Dashan will be my idol in the future! Who dares to say that I'm in a hurry with him!" There were also various explosions on the Internet! "Jiang Dashan, I want to give birth to you!" "Jiang Dashan, your mother told you to go home and get married!" "If you marry, marry Jiang Dashan!" In just a few minutes, Jiang Dashan's fan base was overwhelming.Of course there are also objections. "Now we very much hope to see Jiang Dashan, as the only Chinese player, perform in the NBA. We hope he can perform well and join the Cavaliers smoothly!" Sun Zhengping said.At this time, Jiang's father and Xu's mother in front of the TV had already embraced each other and wept.

Of course, Jiang Dashan himself was unaware of all this.He is very depressed now because he was pressed on the bench by the coach. Although he has been mentally prepared for this, he is still very depressed.At the start of the game, James and other main players first showed up and played for more than ten minutes, and then replaced the substitutes and inspected players.Before playing, James came over to comfort Jiang Dashan, "J, don't be discouraged, the superstars all sit on the bench!"

Jiang Dashan looked at James with disdain, "What about you?"

"Uh,,, I'm sorry, my debut is NO.1!"
