Chapter 1055: Questioning and Refuting

"I thought that only the High School Affiliated to Yanda University was a strong team?" Zheng Zhi said casually.

"Yunhai No. 1 Middle School also has relatively good players." Fang Man explained.

"Is that so? Then...why didn't so many people pay attention to the national competition before?" Zheng Zhi wondered.

"Before? Sigh..." Fang Man sighed, "This matter is still quite complicated, and there is no opportunity. There are too many things for young people to kill time, such as games and videos, which can easily occupy their time. time, and those who really like basketball, either have no time for work, even if it is a holiday, they must either catch up on sleep or have their own activities, not to mention that there is still a gap between the level of high school leagues and professional leagues, and they may prefer to watch professional leagues .”

"What is your opportunity this time?" Zheng Zhi asked curiously.

"Look around, are there more young people or older people?" Fang Man asked.

Zheng Zhi immediately turned around and looked at the surrounding stands, most likely they were young people.

"Among these people, some are middle school students, some are college students, and even some have never watched a basketball game before and have little contact with sports, but at this moment, they all come here to watch the game and support their favorite teams."

Seeing the current enthusiasm for the national competition, Fang Man was really glad for his decision to go to Shen Xin last year.

"What's the reason?" Zheng Zhi became more and more curious as he listened.

"We are cooperating with the comic magazine "ComicFuture", and the main work of "ComicFuture" is "", "" is a basketball comic that is very popular in China."

"Oh... I heard that not long ago, it seems that a cartoonist came to the scene and gave a speech." Zheng Zhi heard this matter mentioned.

"That's right." Fang Man nodded. He didn't expect the assistant coach of the National Youth Team to hear about it.

Shen Xin's speech was more discussed in the comic circle.

"It's a good thing for you to do this, but I'm afraid...will it make people lose their minds?" Zheng Zhi reminded.

"What?" Fang Man thought he heard it wrong, "Playing with things and losing one's ambition?"

"Yes. There are not many people playing basketball now, especially young people. They have access to too many entertainment activities. In this environment, these young people who are still playing basketball are very precious. Now , you recommended a basketball cartoon to these people, and when the time comes, they will give up basketball because of the cartoon, so what should I do?"

"ah?"

Fang Man looked at Zheng Zhi in surprise, is this kind of fallacy okay?

"No, I said Assistant Professor Zheng, what you said is not quite right, right? It's a bit arbitrary."

Depressed? talent loss?

This pot is too heavy to carry.

"Do you know why I came today?" Zheng Zhi asked, "Recently, the national team has rarely won in some international competitions. The reserve force is insufficient, and the pressure naturally falls on the national youth team. We are looking for seedlings, except The players of the provincial teams should pay attention, and we also need to investigate the players of the high school league. In terms of basketball, we really can’t lose talents anymore. Otherwise, I won’t have time to watch high school basketball games.”

"I know, but what does this have to do with comics? Now that the Internet is so developed, even if there are no comics, there are games and other entertainment activities. It is impossible to point the finger at "" just because we said that we cooperated with """? That's right, I admit that there will indeed be some basketball fans who came into contact with comics because of "", but likewise, there will also be some comic fans who came into contact with basketball because of "". The attention to the national competition is also increasing. Even if it is a cloud audience, it is also a good thing for the cultivation of the basketball market.

"Let ordinary people pay attention to basketball, like basketball, and cultivate hobbies, so that there will be more talents, right? I don't believe that your athletes don't usually follow dramas. Besides, athletes in the American professional league don't also play games. What's the difference between the two? conflict?"

Although Fang Man is very busy, he has also paid attention to foreign basketball. There is no conflict between hobbies and professions.

"Er..." Zheng Zhi was slightly embarrassed,

"Those cartoons have more influence on teenagers, and professional players have a strong willpower."

Fang Man didn't answer directly, but brought up another matter: "At the beginning, domestic Go was no match for the Han country at that time, and few ordinary people were exposed to Go, but there was a comic called "Soul of Chess", Suddenly there are a lot of Go fans."

"The improvement of the level of Huaxia Go has little to do with "Soul of Chess", it is because of the development of the professional Go league."

If a comic can elevate a sport, District 11 must be high. But in fact, in the previous Olympic Games, District 11 was inferior to Huaxia in many sports. Therefore, more depends on professional leagues.

"But it is undeniable that the market of Go has been expanded, right? Otherwise, most people can't understand Go at all, so what's the point of participation? Even if they win the championship, many people will be indifferent." Fang Man continued to explain road.

"What do you mean... "" is comparable to "Soul of Chess"?" Zheng Zhi didn't read manga very much, but he had heard of "Soul of Chess". After all, it was the only manga recommended by Huaxia Chess Academy.

""" gives me the feeling that it has jumped out of the circle of comics. People who like it may not only like people who like comics. Even if they have never been exposed to comics before, they will be attracted by comics."

"So powerful?" Zheng Zhi asked doubtfully.

"You can tell by looking at it."

Just as Zheng Zhi was about to answer, his eyes swept across the field suddenly, and he saw a person, and stood up involuntarily.

Inside the stadium, the players were warming up. Zheng Zhi didn't pay attention to it before, but he saw an acquaintance just now with a casual glance.

"What's wrong?" Fang Man asked in surprise.

"I saw Zhai Yang..." Zheng Zhi murmured.

"You know him?" Fang Man followed Zheng Zhi's gaze and saw Zhai Yang who was talking to An Yuan.

"Well, I'm a few years older than him, and I'm very talented in basketball. If that car accident hadn't happened, he might be the best No. 3 in the country." Zheng Zhi looked regretful.

If Zhai Yang hadn't had a car accident, he would be in his prime now, in his early thirties, with physical strength and experience, but all of this can only be imagined.

"He is now the coach of Yunhai No. 1 Middle School."

"You said Yunhai No. 1 Middle School is a strong team?" Zheng Zhi remembered the conversation just now.

"Forehead……"

Zheng Zhi asked again, indicating that he had expectations for Yunhai No. 1 Middle School.

Fang Man thought for more than ten seconds before saying: "Yunhai No. 1 High School also has a few talented players, but their overall strength is not as good as that of the High School Affiliated to Yanda University. However, the captain An Yuan is very good, and he is the one who is talking to Zhai Yang."

"Oh? Where is he?"

"Small forward."

"Position number three." Zheng Zhi was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly became curious about An Yuan.
