Su Xi didn't plan to appear before the media, nor was he preparing for any public commercial activities.
However, he did accept an interview with CCTV.
One had to give CCTV its due.
CCTV also took Su Xi very seriously. They brought an entire interview team and, in a hotel conference room, invited two famous hosts to interview Su Xi and Isaiah Thomas.
The sheer scale of it all made even Isaiah Thomas a little nervous.
But once the interview began, everyone relaxed.
They started by talking about Su Xi's basketball career, moved on to his student life in the United States, and then to his memories of him and his grandfather depending on each other. There were happy moments and sad ones. Of course, they couldn't ignore Su Xi's achievements.
NCAA Champion, Final Four MOP, NBA Champion, Finals MVP.
This was the mark left by a Chinese player at the absolute pinnacle of the basketball world. Naturally, it was worthy of extensive coverage.
