Guard With a Knife

Although Mr. Benholland teases Westbrook's interview with the O.C. Register as a run for president, the O.C. Register is not, in fact, a news paper entirely focused on current events.

The "Orange County Register" pays no less attention to sports than professional sports media. They even recruited a large number of sports reporters this year and launched a new independent business section. To this end, the newspaper has hired about 50 commentators on top of its original workforce of 180.

In their special Saturday sports section, high school sports are the top priority. Last week, they sent 40 text reporters and photographers to report more than 40 high school sports events on weekends.

Kevin Ding is the latest trainee reporter recruited to the Orange County Register, and he is ready to make a big difference in the media industry. He graduated from the Department of Journalism and Communication, so of course he chose to follow up the game against USC this Tuesday.

In this away game, the alma mater played a wonderful game with frequent highlights.

The biggest bright spot is Russell Westbrook, who has been sitting on the bench last season. He dominated the No. 1 position, and even in several confrontations with popular rookie OJ Mayo, he did not fall into a disadvantage.

He felt the need to let the readers of the Orange County Register know about this young man, who is a native of Los Angeles. This is also a good sales boost for the Orange County Register, which mainly targets the California area. force.

So, he walked into his basketball practice on Wednesday afternoon. The place they agreed on before was at the coffee shop next to the school. For Kevin Ding, it was a place worth remembering. He once dated 7 girls there, and 6 of them asked for dessert... It is a very efficient success rate, much higher than those romantic French restaurants.

When he walked into the arena, the first person he saw was not Russell, but the Asian face who slapped Taj Gibson from the air to the floor.

"Are you here to see Russell?"

The puppy walked towards him very politely: "Unfortunately, he was sent to the hospital in the middle of the night last night because of vomiting and diarrhea. The doctor said that he had food poisoning, but it is still unclear whether it was because of eating seafood last night or because Nina has changed to a new lipstick made in Vietnam. Now the hospital is testing these two things."

"He asked me to apologize to you here, and if you don't mind, he would like to have an interview with you tomorrow morning."

When Kevin Ding heard the puppy's explanation, his emotions fell. He regretted that such a thing happened, but he had no choice.

However, the problem now is that an interview must be submitted and sent to the editor-in-chief today.

If I am unable to complete this most basic task during the internship period, then... I will undoubtedly be fired.

"Why is the arena so empty today? Where are the other players?" Kevin Ding asked, hoping to find a replacement as soon as possible. Kevin Love, Holiday or Luke Mbah a Moute will do.

"Yesterday, Mr. Ben Howland announced that the whole team will be on vacation today. Only Russell and I need to go to the arena for special training. But... Russell got food poisoning. So, it's just me!" The puppy's tone was a little frustrated, He didn't want to be this kind of 'chosen son'.

Kevin Ding's mood has completely fallen to the bottom, is it true that I can't be a great journalist?

"Mr. Reporter, if there is nothing else, I have to go to warm-up training."

The puppy smiled at him, and then walked to the weight room.

Kevin Ding stood there thinking for a long time, and he suddenly made a decision: Why not interview the Asian player just now? Now Yao Huang has become the number one center in the NBA, and the American basketball circle is full of curiosity about Asian faces, and he is the starting center with such a short height... This is all news!

then,

He walked towards the direction where the puppy disappeared.

When he walked into the weight room, the whole person was stunned.

Because the puppy was being hung upside down, the trainer Leon Bob shook him vigorously, and then he held a long sword while hanging upside down, and kept puncturing the balloons hanging on the wall.

He quickly took out the camera he carried with him... click! Click!

He took several pictures in a row.

Then he asked Leon Bob: "Hello, sir. This is Kevin Ding, a reporter for the Orange County Register. As far as I know, there is no such upside-down part of the warm-up training."

"Oh, hello, Mr. Reporter."

As soon as Leon Bob heard that he was a reporter, he immediately raised his voice: "I am Leon Bob, the chief trainer of the men's basketball team. I personally built Russell Westbrook from a weak black boy to the present The devil muscular man, did you see yesterday's game? He completely crushed his opponent, whether it is strength, speed, explosive power, or jumping ability, he is already at the top of the NCAA. Can compete with him There are very few players who can compete."

"He, Snoopy. Is the second player to receive special training. He also had an extremely eye-catching play yesterday afternoon. He dominated the USC paint area on the defensive end. His strength and jumping even made people Forget he's only 6'3. That's the height of a point guard, you know!"

"Just wait and see. Snoopy is going to be the next Chinese guy to shock basketball. He's going to be a super defensive center like Ben Wallace, or... he's going to be a really good point guard."

Leon Bob's last words made Kevin Ding stop working on the recorder.

He asked back: "Do you know the difference between the position of the center and the point guard?"

"Mr. Reporter, I can tell that you are doubting my professionalism." Leon Bob was a little annoyed, he took out the puppy's latest physical test report and handed it to Kevin Ding: "Well, let's take a look at this physical test data Bar."

Kevin Ding took the physical test data and took a closer look. Instantly dumbfounded, completely shocked.

"Snoopy has increased his height by 18 centimeters in the past month, which led to a rapid decline in his body coordination ability and a serious deterioration in his movement speed. However, his strength, bounce, and bullet speed are among the top in the NCAA."

"So, there are at least two possibilities in him right now. If he continues to grow in size, he can certainly become a super defensive center."

"And if he doesn't grow in size and quickly regains his coordination, with his ball handling ability, is there a problem with being a good point guard?"

Leon Bob asked the question confidently.

Kevin Ding only felt deafened, and a huge surprise gushed out from the bottom of his heart.

Missed the Russell Westbrook interview.

However, he found a legendary figure who was extremely news-breaking.

Once his story is reported, it will definitely become a hot topic.

And, with his growth trend, the editor-in-chief would definitely agree to follow up the report.

Once he reaches great heights in the future.

So.

"My dream of becoming a great journalist is about to come true!!"

Kevin Ding jumped straight from hell to heaven, and he found that he had found a golden treasure.
