Chapter 149: Bai Jin Yongzhi visits
While Teikou defeated Kanzaki Junior High to secure their first victory in the National Tournament, they also entered the top 32.
Next, they would have one day to prepare for the next match.
After the match, Kubo Chun found Tian Lizi and conducted an interview with him.
Although the Tokyo Youth Sports Newspaper said Tokyo, it was actually aimed at the whole country, the national level.
"Tian Lizi-kun, your performance tonight was simply excellent. How do you evaluate your opponent and your teammates in this match?"
"It was a great match; the process of this match is definitely not something that the final score can describe."
His words were a bit hypocritical; they had crushed the other side by more than 30 points, so where was it exciting?
Kubo Chun sighed, thinking this child had also become mature.
In his words, it was having the demeanor of a great general.
Anyway, he could always find an angle to praise Tiandao Jingyan; his promotion and salary increase depended on this handsome guy.
"As far as I know, besides being a player and a student, you are also a rookie model."
"Does balancing work while playing basketball have any impact on you?"
"There is an impact, of course, so after the National Tournament started, I stopped all modeling work. Now I won't consider other things; I will only consider how to help the team win the championship."
Tian Lizi answered fluently.
But in reality, he didn't do modeling work simply because he felt that stuff was too tiring.
The NBA Finals were coming up soon; why work hard when you could just buy a few hands?
Tiandao Jingyan was already prepared to go all-in this year.
Shooting?
He'd talk about it when he was in the mood.
However, all of this looked like something else in the eyes of Kubo Chun and the fans.
You have to know, don't look at how many players participating in the National Tournament are glorious now.
In reality, only a very small number of people can become professional players and make a living from it.
Most players, including national-level players, cannot rely on basketball to support their families after leaving university and eventually have to enter the big dye vat of society to be a cow or a horse.
And Tian Lizi, he had such unique conditions but chose to give up his modeling work.
Kubo Chun asked himself if he could do it; the fans who saw the newspaper tomorrow would probably admire him to the ground.
What a handsome young man who would stop at nothing for his dreams!
It was also at this time that a person walked toward Tian Lizi; he didn't interrupt his interview, but his arrival forced the interview to terminate.
This person was none other than Rakuzan's head coach, Bai Jin Yongzhi.
"Bai Jin... Yongzhi?!" Kubo Chun was shocked; the person who came was a big shot.
His status was equivalent to Baijin Kozo in the junior high basketball world.
To some extent, Bai Jin Yongzhi, who coached a higher grade, had a louder name than Baijin Kozo.
"I'm here to find Tian Lizi; you don't need to worry about me, I'll just wait here."
Damn, who would dare to let this Buddha wait.
Kubo Chun hurriedly ended the interview, leaving time for Tian Lizi and Bai Jin Yongzhi.
He didn't go far, just shooting wildly at the two from not far away.
He wasn't a fool; of course, he knew why Bai Jin Yongzhi was looking for Tian Lizi.
Teikou's demon star joins forces with the hegemon Rakuzan!
This could definitely become tomorrow's news headline!
At the same time, Bai Jin Yongzhi was also sizing up Tian Lizi.
Just as his assistant guessed, this little brat was indeed very arrogant and cocky, completely not putting him or Rakuzan in his eyes.
Other genius players would be more or less nervous or excited when they saw him.
Tian Lizi didn't; he was calm and composed, with the look of "if you don't speak, I'm leaving."
"This little brat is really cocky." It was the first time Bai Jin Yongzhi had encountered such a player.
"I want to talk to you."
"Sure, let's talk."
Then they went to a cold drink shop.
When Bai Jin Yongzhi intended to talk while eating, Tian Lizi waved his hand.
"I'll just drink some warm water; I'm currently improving my physical condition, and the coach doesn't let me eat these."
