The yellow storm in the NBA

Chapter fifty-seven, post-match press conference

"Yao, the Rockets traded McGrady for Quan, do you think your team made a profit or a loss? Who do you think is the better teammate between the two?" a Time Warner reporter asked Yao Ming maliciously.

This kind of question is not easy to answer. One is a former teammate and the other is a current teammate. Saying who is good and who is bad is not a good answer!

"You exchange gold for diamonds of equal value, so do you make a profit or a loss? Tracy and Quan are very good players, and they are also different types of players. It is a pleasure to work with them, but there are also different

Experience. I am very lucky to have met these two equally powerful guys at different times!"

"Are you saying that your current full strength is on par with McGrady?"

"Tracy is more experienced, Quan Xiao is more energetic! Tracy is still stronger in overall strength, but Quan Xiao has huge potential!"

"So what results do you think you will achieve this year? Can you break through the results of the past few years?" the reporter continued to ask.

"I'm very confident of making it to the playoffs!"

"So, Yao, what do you think of your teammate Quan's performance today? Do you think Quan is a threat to you?"

"A historic debut! Unparalleled! As for the threat you mentioned, it makes people laugh! He is my teammate, not my opponent! Is there anyone in the league who doesn't like strong teammates?"

"No, I believe you should understand what I mean! Just like O'Neal and Kobe Bryant of the Lakers back then, would you worry about this happening?"

"I'm not O'Neal, and I'm not Kobe!"

Seeing that the reporter was still reluctant, the Rockets press officer quickly asked the next reporter to ask a question.

"I would like to ask Coach Rick, why didn't he increase his defense against Kobe today? From the opening, it can be seen that Kobe is in good condition today, but most of the time he still arranges single defense. If double-teamed, would it be necessary?

Wouldn’t Kobe be allowed to score so many points?”

"What I want to emphasize is that victory is the biggest pursuit for me! Arranging one-on-one defense instead of double-teaming is for the final victory. I just didn't expect Kobe's condition to be so good today, no matter how he plays! But fortunately

Our team still won, it doesn’t matter how many points Kobe gets! Maybe Kobe wants victory more than amazing statistics!”

"Then have you ever thought about what if in the end

If none of the balls went in, then your arrangement is the biggest failure?"

"You also know that if, this kind of assumption is meaningless, because the fact is that the ball was completely thrown in, and we also won the victory!"

"So, was the final winning tactic planned by you? Why did you choose a three-pointer when you could hit the basket? Are you sure that Quan will be able to make a shot today?"

"Whether it's a two-pointer under the basket or a three-pointer, it's just a choice. The initiative is ours. And don't you think it's more unpredictable if we choose a three-pointer?"

"But don't you think this is a gamble? The success rate is higher close to the basket, so shooting two points is a better choice!"

"So you can't be a coach, you can only be a reporter. As a reporter, you can write whatever you want, but it won't affect the team's record anyway!"

"Yao, as the boss of the team, you are not the one to execute the final attack. What do you think about this?"

"I'm actually very angry about this!" Yao Ming deliberately paused for a few seconds after saying this. Every reporter in the audience became excited. Is this going to be a big news?

"As the boss of the team, Rick didn't let me take all the shots by myself. Is this still the treatment of a boss? What's even more disgusting is that he actually asked me to pick and roll, block rebounds, and defend... Please, I am

The boss of the team! How can the boss do these things? The boss is only responsible for the offense, and other players can just leave the ball to me to watch the show!"

Hearing this, the reporters were all speechless. Aren't you kidding us? Adelman, Quan Xiao, and the team's staff were trying hard not to laugh. The press conference was in progress, so they had to pay attention to their image.

, we are professionals, unless you really can’t help it!

"Quan, just now Phil said at the press conference that this is just a regular season. No matter how many records you break, you will only remember one victory, and it will not add one more win to the Rockets. What do you think of his statement?

See?" Seeing that Yao Ming was not provoked, he changed his position and started Quan Xiao's doctrine.

"Of course you use your eyes to see and your ears to listen! What he said is actually right. The record cannot add one more victory to our team. There is no need to take it too seriously. But if his team wins today, do you think he will

How do you say that?"

Clearing his throat, Quan Xiao imitated the tone of Grandpa KFC and said: "Well, this was a wonderful game. The rookie opposite played well. I'm optimistic about him! If there is a chance, I hope I can

Enough to coach him!”

"Kobe said he wouldn't mind taking you to see Los Angeles at four in the morning, as long as you can do it!" A reporter from Time Warner passed the microphone.

"Really? Then I'll wait for him to show me the scenery of Los Angeles at four in the morning!" Quan Xiao said happily.

"Let Kobe score 83 points by himself, do you think your team's arrangement today was correct?" a reporter from Sports Illustrated asked.

"Isn't it correct to let the team win? Do you think the correct arrangement is to make the team lose? If we heavily defend Kobe today and limit his scoring to 20 points or even 10 points,

But we lost the game, so do you think our arrangement was correct?"

"But don't you think your entire team has become Kobe's backdrop?" the reporter asked unconvinced.

"If the winning side has a background board, I guess all the teams in the league would be happy to do it."

"As a newcomer, your performance is undoubtedly phenomenal. So do you think this is your true strength or just good luck?" a Fox reporter asked.

"So do you think I have the strength? If someone else was different, would it be possible to achieve the performance I did today by luck? Maybe you would say, doesn't Michael have the strength? Does O'Neal have the strength? Doesn't Duncan have the strength? LeBron

Don’t they have the strength? Why didn’t they perform as well as I did today? It’s not that they are not as strong as me, it’s just that their luck is not as good as mine! Then I have to admit that there is indeed an element of luck in my performance today. But it can also be said that any one of them performs amazingly

Players who perform well have luck in them, because luck is part of their strength."

After a pause, Quan Xiao continued:

"Furthermore, I'm sure that if Kevin or another black player, or even a white player, played my performance today, you would not have any doubts, but would praise it as a matter of course, thinking that this kind of thing is normal.

So why can’t it work for me? It’s just because I’m a yellow person! In your mind, can yellow people play basketball? To put it bluntly, this is a kind of discrimination!”

Quan Xiao's words made the reporters put their minds aside and not dare to look down upon him anymore. After all, no one can afford to have the label of racial discrimination thrown off him. Although many people do look down on him like Quan Xiao said.

, but if you don’t say it, the label of racial discrimination will not be pinned on you. In the United States, at least there must be harmony on the surface. This is democracy!
