Basketball Legends: Strikers Are King

With Qi Tian's 2+1 in the last 1.8 seconds, the Pacers defeated their opponent 94-91 in the away game and avoided a losing streak.

All the walkers gathered around Qitian, today's hero, and cheered and celebrated for him.

Among them, Granger and George were especially happy.

"Qi, you are so sweet and fierce today!"

On the contrary, Qi Tian himself behaved normally when seeing his teammates so excited.

After being excited for a while, Vogel came over, clapped his hands, and said:

"Okay, the game is over, go back to the locker room quickly."

He patted Qi Tian on the shoulder to encourage him, then pointed to several reporters waiting on the sidelines and said to Qi Tian:

"You played well. Come with me for the post-match interview later."

"OK."

Qitian nodded.

After each game, a few people will come out for interviews, usually the coach and two or three key players.

This was the first time Qi Tian accepted a post-game interview. Granger and Qi Tian, ​​who scored the highest score in the game with 26 points, followed the coach and walked to the room specially prepared for the interview.

Granger quietly took a piece of paper from the staff, slowly put it on the table, and sat down with Qi Tian.

"What's this?"

Qi Tian secretly saw some writing on it and asked quietly.

"This is done by the team's public relations, to answer some questions that may arise."

Granger was already familiar with these things. He glanced at them and gave them to Qi Tian.

"Just follow the above and answer it later."

"What if there are no questions asked by reporters?"

Looking at the dumbfounded Qi Tian, ​​Granger rolled his eyes at him and whispered:

"Just talk about it in general. Even if your answer goes off topic, if others don't target you, they won't continue to ask questions."

"learn."

Qi Tian nodded, raised his head and waited for Vogel to finish.

"... Generally speaking, in today's game, we mainly relied on the cooperation of the whole team and the efforts of everyone."

Vogel concluded his speech and finally answered the questions.

"Please ask that friend from the media to speak."

A female reporter stood up and asked Granger first:

"Danny, I noticed that your touch was very hot today. You made 10 of 16 shots and scored a game-high 26 points, including 3 of 3 three-pointers. What made you perform so well?"

Granger nodded, pretending to look down casually, and saw the above article about his performance.

"Well, my teammates believed in me, and I repaid their trust. They helped me a lot on the defensive end, so I was willing to repay them on the offensive end. Fortunately, I did it."

"is that so?"

The female reporter had another trick up her sleeve and immediately asked,

"Then you only got 1 rebound and 3 assists, is it because you trust your teammates?"

The person who came here is not kind!

Granger looked at the female reporter and replied:

"We have Roy (Hibbert) in the inside, and his performance is very strong. He was like no one in the field, and got 15? or 16 rebounds. Darren (Colison)'s ability to control the ball is unparalleled.

Doubtful, he got 9 assists."

Do you know this?

Qi Tian opened his eyes in surprise and looked at Granger.

He couldn't remember when Granger had read the statistics.

Granger glanced at Qi Tian proudly and said:

"Under the guidance of the coach, we each performed our duties and everyone did their best."

"Because we are a team."

Granger quickly returned to the standard answer.

"Next, let's ask that reporter friend to ask questions."

A man in a smart suit stood up in the back row and took the microphone.

"That's right, I want to ask a question, Tianqi."

When Qi Tian knew that he was in trouble, he cheered up and listened carefully to the questions.

"Seven, we all know that you made a steal in the end, got the ball and scored the extra penalty to kill the game."

"So when you took the final free throw, did you feel the pressure?"

This question is quite satisfactory, completely different from what Qi Tian thought it was.

He nodded, lowered his head to search for the answer, and then said:

"The coach has laid out very good tactics. We just need to follow the steps and try our best on both offense and defense. I don't feel too much pressure."

"We learned a lot from this road trip..."

Qi Tian paused for a moment, and then he realized that he was reading the thread. The answer that was originally about the team was linked to the next question about the opponent. He could only stop and repeat it.

"Well, we learned a lot."

Next to them, Granger quietly lowered his head, suppressing a smile, and then raised his head to look at the reporter who was familiar with them.

The man in the suit obviously had a smile in his eyes and continued to ask:

"So why do you think you were put on the court by the coach at the last moment of the game?"

Qi Tian relaxed a lot, looked at the answer and said:

"I have been prepared for this for a long time, and the coach's trust allows me to stay on the court."

"My hard work paid off and I deepened my understanding of the game. We withstood the pressure and responded on the defensive end. Winning is our goal."

Qi Tian only felt that he was getting smoother and smoother as he spoke. After reading the answer, he raised his head and smiled at the reporter.

"So how do you feel when you appear in the final lineup for the first time in your career?"

Qi Tian was stunned for a moment, and then realized that he had already finished reading the answer to the question.

Granger next to him could barely hold back his laughter and could only look up at the sky.

"Our performance in the final quarter tonight was very stable, and we improved the details during the game. This is enough to show that the team is working hard. We have no reservations on the court. We need to keep up our efforts."

Qi Tian could only find a few related sentences in the reference answers and pieced together the answer.

"OK, thank you everyone."

The staff on the other side noticed Qi Tian's nervousness and quickly stopped the interview.

"Huh~~"

Qi Tian only felt that fine hairs of sweat were breaking out on his smooth and clean body that he had just taken a shower.

He followed Granger and fled out of the interview room.

"Hahahahahahahahahahahaha."

On the way back to the locker room, Granger finally couldn't help smiling, and Vogel's face next to him was also full of smiles.

"Qi, you are so funny."

It was not the first time for Granger to see a rookie being interviewed, but it was indeed the first time to see such a funny scene.

"You are really talented if you can read the answers serially."

"A little nervous."

Qi Tian explained awkwardly, but still couldn't stop Granger's smile.

When I returned to the hotel, I heard that Qi Tian could read serial numbers when answering questions, and the bus was immediately filled with a happy atmosphere.

In view of this, the reference answers given by the public relations manager in the future will be marked with serial numbers, and the question stems of similar questions will even be deepened to prevent similar situations from occurring.
