The yellow storm in the NBA

Chapter 56, at the post-match press conference

After the interview with the Chinese reporters, Quan Xiao could finally go back to the locker room to wash up.

Quan Xiao had just experienced a fierce game, sweated all over, and had been interviewed for more than ten minutes. At this moment, Quan Xiao felt sticky and uncomfortable, and just wanted to go back to the locker room and rinse off quickly.

"Quan, go wash it off quickly, we need you to attend today's press conference!" As soon as he returned to the locker room, the team's press officer informed Quan Xiao that he would attend the post-game press conference to be interviewed by reporters.

Generally, those who can be interviewed on the sidelines after each game are treated like a handful of big media outlets, most of whom are the league's broadcasters. Most other media can only obtain first-hand information through the press conference after each game.

At this moment, the home team Lakers have started their press conference, and reporters are asking questions to Kobe.

"Kobe, first of all, congratulations on scoring 83 points today, breaking your own high! And you have become the only player in NBA history to score more than 80 points twice. How do you feel about this?" Time Warner

As a partner of the Lakers, I was the first to be chosen to ask questions.

"I don't have any feelings! Even if I don't win the game, it's meaningless to score 100 points!" Obviously Kobe was not in high spirits today, and his failure to win the game made his 83 points meaningless.

"Then can you share your thoughts on today's opponent, Rockets rookie Quan Xiao?" the reporter continued to ask.

"Opinion? What other opinions can I have? He scored more than 50 points and hit a buzzer beater. What should I think?" After a pause, he added: "He is an amazing rookie.

Very smart and doesn't look like a rookie at all! He will definitely become a top player in the league over time!"

"Kobe, Quan said in an interview just now that he hopes to train with you during the offseason. He wants to learn basketball skills from you. So, are you willing to teach him basketball skills?" a reporter from ABC Radio asked.

"Why not? As long as he can do it, I wouldn't mind showing him Los Angeles at four in the morning!"

"Kobe, why didn't you follow Quan Xiao on the last shot? Do you think the Rockets wouldn't have chosen Quan Xiao to take the last shot? If you followed Quan Xiao, would you have been able to prevent this buzzer-beater?" The ESPN reporter stood up.

asked.

"I made a mistake in my judgment at the time. I thought he was trying to open up space for his teammates. Unexpectedly, he was trying to gain space for himself and threw the ball in from that position. This is

My responsibility!"

"Phil, why didn't you double-team to defend Quan today? Even though you knew he had a good touch and had a chance to break the record, you still responded the same way?"

"He's just a rookie! He's not Kobe!" Phil Jackson said lightly.

"Then how do you feel about a rookie breaking multiple records on your own team?"

"This is just a regular season. No matter how many records are broken, it is still an ordinary regular season, and it will not give the Rockets another victory!"

"You mean the regular season doesn't matter, right?"

"No, what I mean is that there is no need to make too much fuss about the outcome of a regular season game. The season is very long. Do you expect us not to lose a game?"

After taking a few more questions from reporters, the Lakers ended their press conference.

A few minutes later, Adelman brought Yao Ming and Quan Xiao to the press conference.

"Journalists, don't be anxious. I will give you questions later. Please follow the order and follow the requirements." As soon as Quan Xiao and the others appeared, the reporters rushed to ask questions, but they couldn't hear anything in the mess.

, so the press officer quickly stepped forward to maintain order.

"Hello Quan Xiao, congratulations on breaking multiple records in today's game. As a rookie, you performed so well in your first game. How did you do it?"

The first person called by the press officer was "Houston Chronicle" reporter Jonathan Fagan. He was an acquaintance, so his questions were gentle and easy to answer, unlike some reporters who deliberately create topics and dig holes for players.

"First of all, of course, I would like to thank the coaching staff! It is they who think day and night and work hard to formulate and arrange tactics, and I just need to play according to the tactics normally! Secondly, I would like to thank my teammates! They help me contain my opponents, help me with pick-and-rolls,

I passed the ball, and because of their selfless dedication, I was able to perform in this game. It can be said that without the help of coaches and teammates, I might be nothing!"

"Quan, you had the best debut in history and did something that neither LeBron nor Michael could do. Do you think you have surpassed their strength in their rookie season?" ESPN was pointed out.

reporter asked.

"Both LeBron and Michael proved with their rookie seasons that they are historical players, and I have only played one game so far. After this season is over, I believe you

We will definitely compare my performance with them again, and you should get the answer by then."

"So where do you think you will be after this season? Can you win Rookie of the Year?"

"The Rookie of the Year must be mine, otherwise how would I qualify to be compared with LeBron and Michael?" Just kidding, besides Durant, who else among this year's rookies can compare with me? Quan Xiao cursed in his heart!

Hearing Quan Xiao's answer, Yao Ming looked at him in surprise. He didn't expect that this young man would be so brave and actually booked the award in advance. But considering the strength he has shown, he is really likely to win the award.

, Well, since the little brother wants this award, then I will help him, which will also make up for the regret of not winning the award that year.

"Rick, what do you think of Quan Xiao? Do you think he has a chance to win the Rookie of the Year?"

"He is a very good player. He has the common advantages of Chinese people, which are hard work and humility! He is very hardworking and conscientious in his usual training. After completing the training arranged by the team, he will also practice on his own. He is very good at dealing with people.

, is a player that our coaches all like. In addition, he is also very confident, has the courage to face all challenges, and has the courage to take responsibility!"

"Then, does Coach Rick have any tactics specifically designed for him? Will he consider designing some more tactics for him?"

"Yes, our coaching staff is considering this matter and I believe there will be a result soon."

"I would like to ask Yao, are you worried about everyone squeezing your tactical space? Are you worried about everyone taking over your team status?" a reporter from Fox Sports asked.

"I don't care about any of this at all, I only care about the team's results." Yao Ming replied neatly.

"Let me say one thing, Yao is the cornerstone of our team. His importance goes without saying. No one will replace his tactical position and team status at any time!" Adelman added after Yao Ming finished.

.

"That's right, Brother Yao's position in the team is irreplaceable. No matter how you instigate, you can't change this fact, because you are not the owner and coach of the team! Haha." Quan Xiao also came to add insult to injury.

In today's league, a healthy Yao Ming is a killer inside. No team doesn't want such a player, not to mention that he has huge commercial value. Quan Xiao himself will not compete with Yao Ming for the boss and team status.

It's a false reputation. If it were a real honor like MVP, there would definitely be competition, normal competition.
