The atmosphere was a tad awkward. Xu Jicheng wasn't sure if Zhang Hao was a Chinese-American or a Chinese national. He watched tonight's dunk contest and Zhang Hao's interview, from the interview to Zhang Hao's self-introduction video. Xu Jicheng felt that Zhang Hao had a completely different personality from domestic athletes, quite outgoing. Nowadays, it's quite tough to find information on someone; even within China, it's hard to track fugitives across provinces, and it's even tougher in a foreign land.
However, having been a journalist for over ten years, Xu Jicheng was well-prepared, so he laughed and said, "Sorry, sorry, let's start the interview..."
Xu Jicheng directly skipped this topic. Anyway, it's a text news report, skipping this part is fine. However, he plans to add this segment in his book "NBA 50 Years" due to be published next year. The requirements for national official media and his book are different.
