The yellow storm in the NBA

After being interviewed by reporters on the sidelines, Quan Xiao returned to the locker room to wash up, and then went to the post-game press conference with Smith.

Smith performed very well today, scoring 25 points, 9 rebounds and 2 blocks. He was one of the contributors to the Rockets' victory over the Kings. Yao Ming was originally scheduled to go to the press conference, but Yao Ming excused himself from feeling unwell and did not go. Quan Xiao

Just let Li Zixiong help Yao Ming massage and adjust.

Today's reporters just asked Adelman and Smith a few perfunctory questions, and then gave most of the questions to Quan Xiao. On the one hand, Quan Xiao's performance was outstanding and the popularity was high, and on the other hand, there were more people surrounding him.

Many topics.

"Quan, I remember you said before that you admire Artest very much. I noticed that you went to chat with him before the game today. Don't you know what he did at the Palace of Auburn Hills?"

"Yes, I said before that I admire his defense, and I went to chat with him for a few words before today's game. This is because I, a player who loves defense, feel sympathy for another defensive master."

"I know what he did back then, and I don't agree with his behavior, but now that he has been punished and reformed, I think he should no longer be looked at in a different light."

"There is an old saying in China that no one can make mistakes unless he is a sage. There is also a saying that knowing one's mistakes can lead to great improvements. This means that as long as one is human, one will make mistakes. After making a mistake, one can recognize one's own mistakes and correct them.

It’s the greatest kindness.”

"Quan, the Rockets currently have the best record, and your performance is also the best on the team. Do you think the Rockets are currently the strongest team? Are you the strongest one on the team?"

"Our record looks pretty good so far, thanks to the hard work of the coaching staff and players. The Rockets are undoubtedly a strong team, but I don't think we are the strongest team. Like the Spurs and Hornets in the Western Conference

"Both the Mavericks and the Suns are not inferior to us, and the Celtics in the East are even the Big Three. They may be the strongest team."

"As for my personal performance, it is also because the coaching staff's tactical settings are good and my teammates have given me enough help. So I still have to thank our excellent coaches and teammates. Without their efforts, there would be no success.

My current performance."

"Quan, in the mvp rankings announced yesterday, you ranked first, beating the rest of the league.

There are many superstars in the game, including your teammate Yao Ming, so do you think you should be ranked first based on your qualifications?"

"Well, what does mvp specifically mean? Most valuable player, how is this value measured? Qualifications? If we just talk about qualifications, then Uncle Mu of our team is the most qualified."

"If it's not qualifications, is it measured by salary? Then there are at least dozens or hundreds of players who are more qualified than me."

"Ignore seniority salary and just look at performance and contribution to the team. I don't think my current performance and contribution to the team will lose to anyone in the league."

"Then you take your ranking for granted?"

"You should ask the alliance and the people who voted for this. It's not me who ranked myself first."

"Let me interject, I think Quan Xiao is fully qualified to be ranked in that position. Although he is a rookie, his performance far exceeds that of a rookie player, and his importance to the team is unquestionable." Adelman

Without waiting for the reporter to ask further questions, Zai Quan Xiao said as soon as he finished speaking.

"Yes, I also think Quan deserves to be ranked first. Otherwise, can you find any player who performed better than Quan last month?" Josh Smith also interjected.

Although Quan Xiao is only a rookie, his talent and strength shown in daily training and games have long convinced the Rockets coaching staff and players. Josh Smith himself is also a very talented player, otherwise he would not have

He won't be drafted by the Eagles with the 17th overall pick in the first round as a high school player.

And Quan Xiao's current talent far exceeds his own, and his strength is also stronger than his own, so Smith is naturally convinced by Quan Xiao. What's more, when playing with Quan Xiao, his performance will be better, and he will receive calls from time to time.

His pass led to a dunk of his own.

Smith is currently the third-leading scorer on the Rockets, behind Quan Xiao and Yao Ming. He averages 13.2 shots per game and scores 18.5 points, which is the best performance of his career so far.

After Coach Adelman and Smith spoke out, the reporter finally stopped pestering Quan Xiao on this issue and asked a few more questions related to this game. The press conference finally came to an end.

"Coach, Josh, thank you for just

Let me speak!" After coming down, Quan Xiao immediately thanked the two of them.

"Don't worry about those reporters. They are just deliberately creating topics for traffic. We all see your performance and your role in the team." Adelman responded gently.

"That's right, Quan, don't worry about what the paparazzi say, as long as we know your strength and role. The game is played by us, not written by the reporters' pens."

"Josh, you're right, okay, remember to go to my place for dinner the day after tomorrow! Coach, do you want to come with me?"

"I'll forget it, you won't be happy if I go!" Adelman thought for a while but refused.

Quan Xiao didn't force it anymore. Indeed, if the coach also went, everyone would feel a little uncomfortable.

As expected, with the help of some media, there was some controversy over Quan Xiao's ranking first in the MVP rankings.

The most common view is that Quan Xiao, as a rookie, is too inexperienced and needs more verification in games. The game in just one month is still unconvincing. Only when there are enough samples, the persuasiveness will be strong enough.

But there are also opinions that support Quan Xiao. They feel that since the most valuable player is being evaluated, seniority cannot be used to judge. Just like what Quan Xiao said at the press conference that day, in terms of seniority, there are several in the league who can compare with him.

More than Mutombo? But Mutombo’s performance didn’t even win the MVP at his peak, let alone now.

Besides, regarding Quan Xiao's performance in November, being named the league's Western Conference Player of the Month is a recognition of him, which means that no player in the Western Region performed better than him.

So how does the performance of the Eastern Conference Player of the Month in November compare with Quan Xiao? After comparison, those voices against Quan Xiao disappeared.

These controversies did not cause Quan Xiao any trouble. He trained hard to improve himself as always, constantly absorbing water to enrich himself like a sponge.

On the evening of the 4th, all members of the Rockets gathered for dinner at Quan Xiao's house. Everyone ate Chinese food carefully prepared by the Quan Xiao brothers. Not to mention how happy they were, the atmosphere was even more lively.

It wasn't until around nine o'clock in the evening that the Rockets team members, all full of wine and food, bid farewell to Quan Xiao and his siblings and left.
