Lin Ying could feel a slight tremor in his hands.

At this moment, Tucker must be very proud.

…

After the celebration, the players roared back to the locker room.

If you can't understand their emotions at this moment, just think of a football fan who heard the news that the men's football team has entered the World Cup.

What they defeated was Kansas, which ranked third in the latest "Power List" and crushed the University of Texas, which had the "Trident" last year, to the ground!

This will keep them excited until they can't sleep!

After a while, Springman came in.

"Well done guys!"

Springman is really familiar with the players.

His entry also caused another burst of screams from the team members.

"Kevin, you did a great job."

Springman then said to Durant.

Although the final buzzer-beater was missed, it could not overshadow Durant's outstanding performance tonight.

A career-high 37 points in a single game, as well as 13 rebounds and 4 blocks.

This kind of performance is second to none in the entire first-tier league this year.

"Rose, how was my last block?"

But what Springman didn't expect was that Durant replied to him like this.

He was stunned for a moment and then laughed.

Ever since he asked Durant to improve his defense, Durant has talked about defense every time.

Even on such a career night, he still cares more about his block than breaking records.

“Awesome! Very good!”

Springman smiled and stepped forward, holding out his fist.

When Durant saw it, he happily stood up and gave him a fist bump.

"I have another good news to tell you."

Springman's next words lifted the mood of the team members again.

"The league staff just came to see us, and we were invited to attend a media meeting!"

His next words caused the players to cheer again in the locker room.

Good things come in pairs!

After saying some words of encouragement, Springman then took Lin Ying out of the locker room alone.

"You saved the team."

Springman knew Lin Ying's character, and this kind of private affirmation was more suitable than public praise.

Lin Ying was a little overwhelmed after hearing this.

He didn't know how to do well when the coach confirmed it in private.

Springman smiled and reached out to pat him on the shoulder, but didn't say anything else.

"Just now, someone said he was a reporter from Basketball Pioneer, a Chinese reporter, who wanted to interview you."

This is the reason why Springman called Lin Ying out alone.

Before this, no Chinese reporter had ever asked to interview Lin Ying, and the other party also had credentials. This may be a very important thing to Lin Ying.

Because if there were no reports, no one in China might know that Lin Ying plays in the NCAA.

Although the Internet is more developed than before, there is still relatively little communication, especially the NCAA is basically invisible.

"I don't think I saw it."

Lin Ying looked up with a puzzled look on his face.

"His press pass was not allowed to go to the front row for interviews. He should have watched the game from the audience."

"I can go there with you and take a look."

Springman opened his mouth to explain that he knew Lin Ying was not very good at communication, and then added another sentence.

Lin Ying nodded.

The Frank Owen Center is well-equipped with offices for receiving foreign guests.

After Lin Ying followed Springman and pushed the door in, he saw the people sitting inside.

Although he was much younger than he remembered, he still recognized the other person immediately when he saw that face.

Yang Yi, a well-known basketball commentator in China.

At this time, Yang Yi was in his early 30s, with long hair, gold-rimmed glasses, and an unknown watch on his hand, which was very contemporary.

Seeing them coming in, Yang Yi immediately stood up and extended his hand to Springman, then said thank you.

After shaking hands with Springman, he looked at Lin Ying excitedly.

"I have something else to do. You guys can chat for now. I'll come back later."

After speaking, Springman smiled and patted Lin Ying on the shoulder, then left the office.

It was a bit strange for him to stay at the scene when two Chinese people were doing the interview.

As soon as Springman left, Yang Yi couldn't wait to introduce himself to Lin Ying.

And after a simple exchange, he got to know Lin Ying's character. He was very proactive during the interview and kept talking.

This made Lin Ying feel more comfortable.

Before time travel, Lin Ying loved basketball, so he naturally watched a lot of NBA games, and the well-known commentators naturally knew about it.

He had heard of Yang Yi, Su Qun, Zhang Weiping, and Yu Jia.

And when he was a child, he also liked to read "Basketball Pioneer" and "Sports Weekly" like everyone else.

Although he couldn't afford it due to financial conditions, it was common at that time for someone to buy a newspaper and pass it around to the entire class.

Especially the "Basketball Pioneer", which was the most widely circulated at that time and was the "first basketball newspaper" in the minds of many people.

Therefore, Lin Ying had an early impression of Yang Yi, who often appeared in newspaper reports.

Although Yang Yi's commentary level will not keep up with the development of basketball in the future and he will often slap himself in the face, at least at this stage his business ability is still very strong.

If nothing else, just reporting on the NCAA is already at the forefront of reporters.

"Have you ever thought about giving yourself a nickname."

While the two were chatting, Yang Yi asked Lin Ying.

In this era, it is very common to give nicknames to stars, especially in China. A loud nickname can quickly spread among fans.

"Little Giant", "Black Mamba", "Little Emperor", "German Chariot", "Son of the Wind", "Stone Buddha"...

These are the most widely circulated nicknames in China now.

Lin Ying shook his head.

He didn't even think about it when Durant asked him for his jersey number, let alone his nickname.

"commander?"

Yang Yi took the initiative and started to help Lin Ying with advice.

Lin Ying was stunned for a moment.

"The way you play and control the rhythm of the game is like a commander on the battlefield."

Yang Yi explained it once, and when he saw that Lin Ying had no reaction, he said another one.

"Shadow killer? When Durant attracted the opponent's attention, you burst out of the darkness and gave him a fatal blow."

Yang Yi adjusted his glasses and continued.

There was one thing Springman got right but not quite.

Yang Yi did watch the game from the audience, but he stood behind the commentary box.

Not only did that position have a good view, but you could also hear what Barkley and Kenny Smith were saying on commentary.

So he also heard Barkley's "light and shadow" comments after the game.

When Lin Ying heard this, he looked at Yang Yi.

This "Shadow Killer" immediately reminded him of an anime he had watched before.

He blurted out almost instinctively:
Chapter completed!
