Chapter 174 The first post-match press conference
Back in the locker room, Tang Qian was taking a shower, but he heard someone calling himself outside: "Hot, hurry up, Kobe is calling you!"

"Okay, right away!" Tang Qian replied, dried himself up and walked out in less than a minute.

"Brother, congratulations, Kobe called you and Paul to accompany him to the post-match press conference. For rookies, this is a good opportunity to increase exposure and popularity, perform well!" Ci Shiping tweeted with a smile on his face. Pushed Tang Qiandao.

"Okay, I'll go right away." Tang Qian put on a suit and walked out of the players' locker room.

Standing outside are Kobe Bryant and Paul Gasol.

"Let's go, hot, this is your first experience confronting the media. As a veteran team member, I would like to remind you, don't talk too much, they all want to make more big news!" The Spaniard pointed at Tang He patted his shoulder and said.

"Boy Dongfang, you performed well tonight, keep working hard~" Kobe looked a lot more "model", after all, he is the boss of the team, so he has to maintain a bit of boss appearance.If Tang Qian is just a fan, it doesn't matter if he is kind and friendly, but since Tang Qian is a member of the Lakers, then Kobe needs to face him with another attitude.

Besides, he has been in the league for more than ten years, and he has never seen anything. It has long been common for bench players to break out in a few games.

"Emmm... Bryant, what should I say later?" Faced with this kind of situation, Tang Qian had no experience and could only learn from Kobe.

"Speak freely, anyway, no matter what you say, they will not write it truthfully." Kobe replied.

"Bryant, don't cheat people~" Paul Gasol stood up and said: "Tang, don't listen to him, he is a superstar, so it doesn't matter what you say. Don't do this now, otherwise It's easy to trick yourself, the reporters outside are all femme fatales, as long as they can produce some eye-catching news, they won't care about your reputation and reputation."

The relationship between Kobe and Gasol is very strong, so he was not angry. He just looked back at Tang Qian and said, "The choice is up to you. Whether you want to be a successful celebrity or a pure basketball player, you decide for yourself." Just do it."

After speaking, he took the lead and left.

With a "squeak", a door was opened. Although he was the last one, Tang Qian still felt a strong sense of discomfort.

There is no other reason, the spotlight is too concentrated and too dense.

This is different from being on the court. In a small space, this dazzling feeling will be magnified countless times.

Damn!It is written in the novel that all the protagonists are able to cope with the spotlight with ease, calm and composed, this must be scribbled!

For the first time at least, it's impossible to stay calm.

Yes, it was also pretending to be fat by slapping a swollen face.

Lakers coach Mike Brown has long been sitting on the right seat, obviously, he is answering questions from reporters in the audience.

"It's Kobe~ Kobe and the others are here~"

I don't know who yelled first, but the reporter's gaze quickly shifted away from Mike Brown.

In the NBA, the head coach will never be as good as the players, even if the "Zen Master" Jackson comes, that's the same.

After the three of them were seated one after another, Kobe sat in the middle, cleared his throat slightly, and signaled that it was time to start asking questions.

Reporters in the audience raised their hands.

Kobe randomly ordered one, and the man stood up and said, "Bryant, the Lakers are now winning 3:1 against the Big Three in Miami. When do you think they can tie in the future?"

Kobe glanced at this man, opened his mouth and said, "So what if you tie? What if you don't? The goal of our Lakers team is the championship, not these meaningless things."

"next."

"Bryant, did you win tonight because the 'Big Three' missed one player?"

"Are you a reporter from Miami?" Kobe looked at his reporter's sign and said, "I can tell you that whether it is the Big Three or the Big Four tonight, the result will not change."

"May I ask how satisfied you are with the team's performance tonight?"

"100 percent." Kobe replied succinctly.

"Do you think this game is a preview of this year's finals?"

"Rehearsal? Sorry, I don't think so."

"Can you please tell me your evaluation of Wade's game tonight?"

……

A full 10 minutes have passed, and the following reporters have hardly stopped their "long guns and short guns", but Kobe has long been accustomed to this posture, and he can deal with it as easily as drinking water.

"Bryant, what do you think of Andrew Bynum being ejected tonight? Do you think the referee is not lenient enough for you?"

"No, I don't feel that the referee is intolerant. On the contrary, it is Andrew's performance that is disappointing. He has been in the league for 7 years. He is no longer a child in the 05-06 season. But obviously, his There is still a big problem with temper control."

Kobe's words made the reporter vaguely touch a "high" point, and immediately continued to ask: "You mean, you are not satisfied with Andrew Bynum's performance?"

"How much difference is there between disappointment and dissatisfaction? Are the words made of different letters?"

"But this year he is the All-Star starter in the Western Conference. Is it too harsh for you to say that?"

"The Western All-Star starter?" Kobe smiled and replied lightly: "It took 7 full years to become an All-Star. Is there anything to be proud of? I remember that I became the Western All-Star starter in the second year." , next question."

"Bryant, I want to ask, what do you think of Iron's performance tonight? How much can you score?"

The media that asked the question was Los Angeles’ own media. Kobe eased his tone and said, “A-level evaluation, it took less than half the time to do this, it’s very good.”

"Gasol, do you think so too?"

"That's right, Tang's performance tonight is very good." Paul Gasol nodded and said.

"Then I can ask, do you think it's better to partner with Hot or Bynum?" This is a reporter from the Associated Press.

"Hmm..." The Spaniard paused, organized his language a little before replying: "It's a different feeling. Partnering with Andrew has been longer and has a more tacit understanding, and partnering with Hot is more like chocolate and sweet. Donuts, don’t generalize.”

Seeing that the Spaniard gave an extremely official answer, the reporter from the Associated Press asked again: "Then let me change the question. Who do you prefer to partner with in the paint? Hot? Or Andrew?"

"This……"

Kobe saw that the Spaniard was in trouble, so he quickly helped to cover up and said: "We prefer to partner with strong players, and we will choose whoever is strong."

"Then I want to ask Tang, who do you think is better, you or Andrew Bynum?"

Those damn AP reporters!
Kobe and Gasol cursed secretly in their hearts, but who told people that "the family is big and the business is big"?Compared with ordinary sports media, the reporters of the Associated Press asked more sharp and unscrupulous questions.

Gasol gave Tang Qian a wink, which meant to signal him not to talk nonsense, otherwise it would definitely cause "big waves" tomorrow.

Tang Qian nodded, and then answered: "This question, I can only say this, it is true that Andrew is stronger now."

"Oh? Now? I understand. Thank you for your answer, China Hot." The Associated Press reporter sat down with a satisfied face.

Seeing that the people from the Associated Press had made a good start, the rest of the people turned their guns and said, "Tang, how do you feel when you shine in the nationally broadcast game? Do you feel that you can go further?"

"I feel okay. Tonight is a big stage. I just hope I don't fail. As for going further, that's for sure. As an athlete, how can there be any reason to stop moving forward?"

"I heard that you have conflicts with Marcin Gortat? Is this true?"

"No, he and I are just fighting in the normal arena, and we are friends after the arena, so there is no conflict at all."

"Then how do you feel about his loss to the All-Star selection this time?"

"I'm sorry, he's a good player and hopefully he can strengthen himself and realize this dream in the coming year."

The group of reporters below asked with their eyes open while bowing their heads and writing, "Can you comment on your performance tonight?"

"I'll give myself a C. I feel that I still have a lot of room for improvement." With the interview with Abby Hornacek last time, Tang Qian also kept an eye on it.

But how did he know that facing this group of "old foxes", his vigilance was simply not enough.

"10 blocks, do you think you can pass Serge Ibaka on the block list this season?"

"I will try my best." Tang Qian replied as pertinently as possible.

"Tell me what it's like facing LeBron and Dwyane?"

"Well, how should I put it, LeBron is really strong. I feel that few people in this league can stop him! As for Dwyane Wade, I can only say that he is so fast that I am dazzled by it. It’s not that Bryant is on defense tonight, I’m afraid it’s not impossible for him to score 40+ alone.”

"Let's talk about Troy Murphy again. I heard that your relationship with him in the team is average, even a little tense. Is this true?"

"No, it's not. He and I are just in a normal healthy competitive relationship, and there is no so-called tension."

"Excuse me..."

Seeing that these people were still trying to tell Tang Qian what to say, the Spaniard couldn't sit still, and gently pushed Kobe with his elbow, motioning for him to come to the rescue.

Kobe didn't care at first, but when he saw Gasol, he immediately opened his mouth and said, "You've been asking me for so long, shouldn't it be time for you to ask me? Otherwise, I'm going to leave early!"

After all, Kobe is Kobe, he is the protagonist tonight, so one sentence attracted everyone's attention, and all kinds of long guns and short guns shifted their targets again and gathered towards him again.

Half an hour later, the post-match press conference finally came to an end. Just as Tang Qian wanted to ask about his speech, Gasol took the lead and said, "Hot, you've fallen into a trap."

"Trap? What trap?" Tang Qian still didn't know.

"Hey, do you think they are just ordinary problems? They are all linked together, layer by layer, just to drag you into the water!"

"Drag me into the water? Is it that serious?" Tang Qian asked in surprise.

"Of course." The Spaniard said, "If you don't believe me, you can read tomorrow's newspaper and you will understand."
