Chapter 17 Attracting Domestic Sports Media Attention
Repeatedly looking at his name and photo on the draft prediction website, Li Xuan felt that this happened too suddenly, a bit unreal.
Regardless of past life or present life, the NBA is Li Xuan's dream, but now it has become within reach.
Faces of the hottest players in the NBA today can't help but appear in my mind.
Li Xuan couldn't restrain his excitement when he thought that he would have the opportunity to compete with them in the near future!
Although he knew that he would definitely enter the NBA, he never thought that after two knockout games, a professional draft prediction website would put him in the second round.
Although a little pleasantly surprised, this sort of selection is not up to the position Li Xuan expected.
If he enters the NBA in the second round, there is a high probability that he will not have guaranteed playing time and will become the patron saint of the drinking fountain.
He doesn't want to play without the ball, so he has to play hard in the next game, show his talent to the fullest, lead the team to the promotion, increase exposure, and set the goal of entering the small green house.
After reading his draft ranking, Li Xuan asked about Wade's situation, and learned that his draft ranking came to the eighth pick in the first round, and he was very happy for his brother.
And he also learned from Wade that the TJ-Ford draft ranking who regards himself as the enemy.
As expected, TJ-Ford has dropped to the end of the first round after encountering the Battle of Waterloo in his career. If he wants to enter the lottery zone again, he can only shine in the joint trial training.
After exchanging business compliments with Wade, Li Xuan returned to his bed, turned off the computer, tidied up, and just lay down on the bed when sleepiness hit him instantly.
High-intensity games are really easy to make people tired. He admires those NBA stars who go to nightclubs to hang out right after the game. Their physical strength is like Superman.
Li Xuan thinks that he can also have a superhuman physique. After all, he is a man with a system, and seven in and seven out will not be a problem.
Quickly fall asleep with strange thoughts.
…………
In the early morning of the next day, Li Xuan had breakfast and read the newspaper delivered by the hotel staff.
When I saw the overwhelming news about myself in the newspaper, I was quite surprised, it was more popular than I imagined.
He didn't expect that the knockout match last night would have such a great influence.
After only one night of fermenting, Li Xuan's name was firmly remembered by the fans, and they all had a very strong interest in Li Xuan, a foreign student from China.
According to media reports, in order to experience the miraculous Eastern miracle, the tickets for the next match between Marquette and Kentucky were sold out in just 10 minutes!
This also refreshed the ticket purchase record for the NCAA playoffs.
In addition, what Li Xuan didn't know was that his excellent performance also attracted the attention of some domestic sports media.
Since Dayao entered the NBA last year, domestic sports media have paid a lot of attention to NBA events.
The NCAA sends a large number of outstanding talents to the NBA every year. The two are closely related, and naturally they have also entered the field of vision of the domestic basketball media.
Li Xuan played extremely well in the two knockout games, and he is not a player of the same type as Dayao, but a shooting guard who kills the Quartet like Kobe.
These things, it is hard not to attract the attention of Chinese basketball reporters.
The CCTV sports column quickly formed an interview team and went to the beautiful country to report Li Xuan's performance in the NCAA in real time for fans.
Although it is an interview team, there are actually only two people, a host and a cameraman.
CCTV has its own considerations. They are not sure about Li Xuan's true strength. After all, they have received too little information. Out of conservativeness, they sent such a shabby media team.
If Li Xuan is famous, then we will increase our efforts to promote it, otherwise, we will not report too much.
Li Xuan didn't know the domestic news, and had no way to know it, so everything went with the flow.
At this moment, Wade, who shared the same room, woke up, passed by Li Xuan, said hello, and then went straight to the bathroom.
After washing up, he came to the dining table and sat down, took a sandwich and ate it, and picked up a newspaper on the table and read it, preparing to pass the boring time of eating breakfast.
Seeing that the sports section was full of reports about Li Xuan, Wade laughed from ear to ear.
"It feels so good to become famous overnight! It's all about you, but there are very few news about me. To be honest, I'm a little jealous of you."
"Dude, I have pink eye disease, you see how to cure me." Wade said jokingly.
Li Xuan smiled, holding a newspaper in his hand and handing it to Wade.
"Dwyane, here is the news about you. I finally found it in a bunch of newspapers. It should be able to temporarily reduce the swelling of your eyes."
Wade punched Li Xuan on the shoulder angrily, then took the newspaper and read the news about himself.
"The Marquette twin stars shine on the field, easily defeating their opponents and advancing to the sweet 16! "
After Wade read the headline, he continued to read the content. He felt that the reporter who wrote this report was of a good standard. He praised him and Li Xuan as twin stars, and predicted that they would advance in the next game.
"The reporter who wrote this report must be a supporter of the Golden Eagles, so we can't let the fans who support the Golden Eagles down, and we will try our best to win the next game!" Wade said excitedly.
"Dwyane, don't fight anymore. We have to finish breakfast and join the coaches, or we will be criticized." After Li Xuan finished speaking, he quickly settled the sandwich in his hand.
Wade also accelerated his eating speed, he didn't want to be educated by Klein in front of his teammates.
After breakfast, Li Xuan and Wade packed their luggage together, came to the hotel entrance to join the team, and then took the bus to the airport to return to Marquette University.
After several hours of long journey, the Marquette Golden Eagles team returned to Milwaukee smoothly.
When the players of the Golden Eagles walked out of the airport, they saw the darkness outside the airport, and the entire airport was surrounded by fans.
The number of fans this time is more than double the number of fans who came before. If the team advances again, the number of fans who come to pick up the airport will definitely double again.
After saying goodbye to the enthusiastic fans, Li Xuan and his team boarded the bus bound for the Marquette University campus.
After returning to Marquette University, the head coach Kline called the players in the tactical conference room, made some summaries of yesterday's game, found out the deficiencies, and asked the players to make corrections.
"Okay, that's all for today, and tomorrow we will analyze our opponents in the next match."
"Now you can go back to the dormitory to rest, remember not to go out and fool around!"
After Klein finished speaking, he quickly walked out of the conference room. He still had a lot of preparatory work to complete, and he had to hurry up to complete it.
After the team disbanded, Li Xuan did not leave the arena in a hurry, and said to Wade beside him: "It's okay to go back so early, let's go! Go heads-up!"
Wade did not refuse. Before the game, it is very necessary to maintain a good competitive state.
"Li, I think you have a tendency to be abused. You haven't beaten me in singles before, and you want me to abuse you again?"
"It's like you're crushing me. Anyway, I'm improving every time, and I almost won a few times."
"Why, Dwyane, are you worried that losing to me would be embarrassing?"
"As far as your eye-catching ball-handling ability is concerned, it is impossible for you to win me if you practice for a few years."
"Brother, don't brag, we are still good friends, let's see how I teach you a lesson today!"
Immediately, the two picked up the basketball and walked towards the basketball court with protective gear.
