124 Provocation
"How do you view the performance of the Longhorns today?", "Is there any sign of the Wildcats' defensive team's transformation?", "What is the key turning point in this game?", "What is the reason why the Wildcats have been so confident since the beginning?", "What impact did the Longhorns' mistakes have had on the game?"...
The reporters attacked questions from various angles, but 6 Yiqi's answers were easy to answer, and a gentle and polite attitude could not be picked at all.
"I believe that the Longhorns have just experienced a bad day. They still have strong strength. After their condition adjustments, they are still the team with the ability to compete for the championship." "The Wildcats completed a wonderful game, but we still have many places to work hard to improve and need to continue to work hard." "We kept our attention in the whole game, firmly grasped every opportunity, and tried our best to win the victory."...
The Tai Chi Bagua promoter who is full of energy and his humble and polite attitude makes people unable to find faults but also makes people unable to start. However, if you want to talk about how much wisdom is hidden in it, it may not be necessary. It is just a tone-turning cliché, repeated over and over again.
Logically speaking, such a news conference was boring and drowsy, but when you think about it carefully, the three-digit reporters on the scene were unable to open up the situation, which was a bit strange, and it could even be said to be weird.
The reporters could vaguely detect the abnormality, but couldn't say a reason: there was no way, and they still had too little information in their hands and were at a disadvantage.
"I am a reporter from the Kansas City News. I would like to ask, are you still using Chinese names now? Is there any special purpose to change it to an English name? According to the information, you are not born in the United States, so your parents should not call you Noah, right? How do you define your identity? Chinese? American? How do you think of yourself as a head coach at such a young age?"
Appears!
Provocations and doubts about the identity of 6 Yiqi Asians have finally emerged.
In the coaching team position in the NCAA field, Asian faces are actually not rare animals, Korean, Japanese and Indian, etc.; but objectively speaking, these faces are far from being accustomed to the common phenomenon, and the head coach position is even more rare, especially in the central region where ideological conservativeness is limited.
In the past few weeks, people always defined 6 Yiqi as offensive coordinator. The head coach position was just a temporary class. It was lively and lively, but it did not really cause any waves. But now, after this game, 6 Yiqi officially entered the mainstream sight of ncaa, and the meaning of things became completely different.
What's more, 6 Yiqi is still so young. The 28-year-old "head coach" is very young in any sport, which can easily cause more controversy.
Most importantly, the questioner is purely here to provoke—
"Kansas City News" is a local media in Lawrence, a well-known conservative mouthpiece in Kansas, and a hardcore supporter of the University of Kansas. Even without any contradiction, they will challenge their generation's old rival Kansas State University without hesitation. Such hostility is not limited to competitive sports. In every aspect, every corner, both universities are irreconcilable enemies, facing each other.
Now, facing a god-given opportunity like "6 Yi Qi", they will not miss it easily.
So, doubts about 6 Yiqi's identity emerged.
Facing the attack, 6 Yiqi's face showed a little helpless expression, and his slightly frowned brows were a little nervous, "Of course, my Chinese name is 6 Yiqi."
"...Luigi?" The reporter of the Kansas City News immediately raised his voice and attacked with a little sarcastic gesture. "You mean, the Luigi who was ignored forever?"
"Luigi" was the name of his younger brother in the famous game "Level Mario" in the Red and White Machine Age, which is another plumber.
6 Yiqi did not speak, but spread his hands and made a helpless and powerless attitude. This is the best response and counterattack-
No one wants to be called "Luigi", which sounds like a Cuban with a beard, and every sound is full of jokes and jokes. The ridicule and contempt, even if it is just a joke, reveals discrimination in the bones. Obviously, this is related to race.
This is true for adults, let alone children?
6 Yiqi didn't even need to refute verbally. The reporter asked the question could detect the gaze projected by other colleagues at the scene, sharp and picky, but he still didn't realize the problem of his words, his head was full of question marks, and he didn't understand what was born - isn't this an ordinary joke?
The so-called discrimination sometimes appears in a rough way, from language to physical violence, presenting external manifestations; but sometimes it appears in an invisible way, the contempt, contempt, disdain and exclusion deep in the soul, establishing an invisible glass wall.
Jokes can also be divided into good intentions and malice. Obviously, the sharpness of this reporter just now belongs to the latter.
"When I first stepped on this land, my speaking was not great, and my parents didn't know how to speak English. Obviously, we are not a popular group, and I don't understand why every time I introduce myself in class, my name will make a laugh. I don't know what I have given birth to."
However, a tenacity revealed in the plain words. The 6 Yiqi who was always playing Tai Chi, his eyes gradually became firm, and he could feel the light bursting out from the inside out. Unconsciously, the reporters focused their attention and stood behind him-
A few words can't show the pressure and pain that I endured in my youth. The problem of campus bullying has plagued this land for a long time. In just a few words, it shows more about the confusion of children. Those invisible discrimination is making school life difficult.
"I tried to escape, but I couldn't, because I also needed to teach my parents to learn English, and we needed to survive. So, I gave myself an English name, a name from the Bible; at the same time, I joined the football team and hoped to be able to integrate into the student community."
"It's a bit clumsy, no doubt. But I'm not an escaper. I won't escape from difficulties, nor will I retreat from difficulties. I will continue to live in my own way. If every outsider who comes to this land fights to maintain his life."
"Of course, my parents don't call me Noah, that's too strange. They're still used to calling me Archie; but I still like the name Noah because it's a proof of my hard work."
There is no complaint, no complaint, and also no inspiration, and no rendering. 6 Yiqi explains the ins and outs in the simplest way.
