Chapter 574: Take a drive.
The practice was done at 4pm.
NBA practice was done generally around this time.
A sport like basketball that was physically exhausting, especially on the knees, it would be bad if there was too much practice.
So it was already good to maintain a 6 hours training session.
This also included basic physical training etc…
However after 4pm, they would still have to go for physical therapy, massage or ice treatment.
They also had to accept interviews at the training facilities before they leave. It couldn’t be avoided since it was their job.
Chen Huan, Kobe and Iverson were superstars whom everyone wanted to ask questions so every reporter wanted to interview them.
Right.
Chen Huan had the superstar treatment now.
Although he was far behind Kobe and Iverson in terms of status and history, he was the most talked and popular superstar right now.
Every video of Chen Huan would be watched by countless people and every of his interviews would be watched by tens of millions of people.
In particular, Chen Huan’s highlights as the amount of views for the various videos accounted for more than 10 billion views if added together.
It could be seen how much Chen Huan was loved.
Of course, those medias had to sign a very strict confidentiality agreement as every content they decide to show must be checked by the Lakers.
For example, their footage of the Lakers practice and Chen Huan’s godlike accuracy with three pointers during practice.
Especially the latter since it was the Lakers and Chen Huan secret weapon.
Now the world thought that Chen Huan’s biggest weakness was three pointers while it was the Golden State Warriors biggest strength.
After all, their franchise player Curry was the best three point shooter in the league.
Curry averaged 45.4 in three point percentage while shooting 11.2 threes in average during the regular season, which meant he made 5.1 per three in average, which accounted for 15 points and this was already very high.
The Warriors couldn’t match Chen Huan’s mid-range and dunks but if Curry was allowed to go crazy on the three point line, two of his baskets would count Chen Huan’s three basket, it was a positive, right?
This was why Chen Huan wouldn’t be the favorite for outsiders.
The people present at the practice sneered at that.
How could Curry have the qualification to compete against Chen Huan in three pointers?
Look at Chen Huan’s three point shot percentage!
It was as high as 70% with two people defending him with 90% when it was just catch and shoot!
Even if the difficulty in the game was different, Chen Huan’s percentage should still be above 60%!
Such a great three pointer shot was actually considered as his biggest weakness?
Ridiculous!
Thoughts of crazy rumors and rebuttal surfaced in the minds of those reporters.
However, they were restricted by a strict contract and couldn’t publically spread it.
But all of them knew that Chen Huan must have been hiding it for the Warriors since he never used it before.
They wondered what the people would think when they saw Chen Huan’s three pointers in a few days.
Wang Zhen also had thoughts like that.
At the same time, Wang Zhen already wrote three articles about it and prepared to post them as soon as Chen Huan started to make three pointers on the official website of Pomelo as well as on the Weibo of Pomelo and herself.
Wang Zhen had only 230k followers on Weibo before she went to the USA.
But after only two weeks in the US and frequent interviews with Chen Huan as well as posting pictures and videos of every game, her followers on Weibo easily passed 20 million!
It multiplied by 100!
This meant that Wang Zhen became one of the top hosts!
Even if she chose to leave now, some TV stations would still try to hire with a high salary offer!
But Wang Zhen didn’t plan to quit right now.
Her Boss Jiang Zhenkun was nice to her and never forced her to socialize.
Honestly, Wang Zhen’s natural prowess was a deadly weapon in social occasions and the most suitable for social intercourse.
But Jiang Zhenkun didn’t ask that of her and never tried to get ‘frisky’ with her, simply told her to do her job well.
If she switched places and got a high salary, her environment would change and she would be surrounded by new people, who knew how much this would cost her?
Unless Wang Zhen made it to the top and had something that the others didn’t have, such as Chen Huan, she wouldn’t have to compromise whenever she goes.
Otherwise, staying at Pomelo would be the best choice.
Moreover, Pomelo had taken the rights to the playoffs.
How stupid someone must be to choose to leave Pomelo now?
Not to mention, the boss became much more generous recently.
The average worker subsidiary exceeded 3k yuan a day when they were in the US, let alone Wang Zhen who enjoyed 10k yuan a day.
Wang Zhen would get 600k for a two months trip.
They recent intensive reports made Pomelo set a new high and received much traffic and views.
So Jiang Zhenkun gave the team a 10 million bonus to the entire team and said they would be further rewarded when they return.
If Pomelo wasn’t about to take off and had no optimistic future, would Jiang Zhenkun be this generous?
It would be impossible!
The interview passed quickly.
Wang Zhen was the last to interview Chen Huan and it was obviously exclusively about basketball.
Some reporters wanted to interview Chen Huan about the Fermat’s Theorem but he refused.
Wang Zhen sweetly thanked Chen Huan but he stopped her.
“Zhenzhen, drive the car to the side door, I’ll leave with you.”
“Oh, okay.”
Wang Zhen quickly accepted.
Although she interacted with Chen Huan a lot, they rarely spent any time alone.
At best, Chen Huan allowed the film crew to visit his villa for half an hour.
However, it wasn’t only them who were there since the crew from CCTV was also there.
This was obviously a great chance now that Chen Huan wanted to take their car.
Wang Zhen’s jade-like face blushed when she thought that Chen Huan was opening up to her and wanted to further communicate with her so as to create opportunities to throw herself at him.
Of course, she also knew those were wild thoughts.
Chen Huan didn’t need to do that to get her and only needed to send her a text at night.
Would she refuse?
She would immediately deliver herself to his door!
