On June 19, the Rockets maintained their daily training as if it were a very ordinary day. www.biquge.info But everyone knows it's an unusual day, as they had just beaten the Pistons at home the day before to tie the score at 3-3. Tomorrow the two teams will play a tie-break, and the winner will win the third championship trophy in team history.

Lao Tang wants to downplay this special meaning, and he believes that a normal mind can make people find a better state.

But after all, there are young people who can't hold back. As soon as the training session was over and it was time to rest, Gerard. Wallace flipped through the day's newspaper and read aloud: "Wow! The sports headline of the New York Times was "The Strongest Three-Point Team of All Time"! The Rockets hit 16 three-pointers in a single game, breaking the single-game three-point record in the Finals that had been in the dust for many years. The previous record was held by the 1995 Rockets and Magic. ”

"As soon as you say that, I know that the old record is also our rocket, or I personally typed it." Olajuwon laughed, "I remember that game, Kenny. Smith shot 7-of-11 from three-point range, he was really crazy that game. Later, the Magic also gave us a 14-point game, but we still won. Beat them a 4-0. ”

"Hakim is overly optimistic about you, aren't you? Tomorrow is the battle for the seventh. Wang Yuanfei secretly pulled Da Meng aside and said: "You are the idol of this group of young men, only if you teach them with a straight face, they will listen to it." ”

"But the boys played so well that I couldn't bear to criticize them." Da Meng had a satisfied look on his face, "As long as they insist on playing like this, I won't blame them for losing, and the fans will continue to support them." ”

"Don't say that, it's not the same time you won the championship." Yuan Fei smiled bitterly: "This is the 21st century into the Internet era, and a win or loss will be turned upside down by the media." The other day, the media was touting the Pistons for winning, and as soon as we won two games in a row, they immediately sided with us again. ”

"Speaking of media, I've been paying a lot of attention lately. It seems that there are two camps, led by ESPN and Yahoo Sports. The ESPN faction is supporting our rockets, while the Yahoo faction is supporting the Pistons. Olajuwon smiled: "This is the benefit of a semi-retired old man, it's really idle to play without playing, just watch TV and read newspapers every day." ”

"Oops, you said ESPN!" Yuan Fei suddenly shouted: "Dawson arranged a meeting with an ESPN contributor for me at noon, and I was almost late!" He trotted out of the training ground.

When Yuanfei and the "contributor" sat down face-to-face, a trace of apology for being late was gone.

"It turned out to be the famous Adrian. Mr. Woginnarowski. I have admired the name for a long time, and I have read your articles a lot. Yuan Fei thought that this "ESPN contributor" was a well-known basketball analysis expert such as Hollinger and Pelton, but he saw that it was Wokinaroski, but he had a trace of contempt. But it's not cool, the basic etiquette is still there, and Yuanfei is still more polite.

Speaking of Yuanfei's contempt, it's really a long story. Later, this "contributor" jumped to Yahoo and became the most famous news dealer in the basketball world, and was revered by fans as "Woking". He didn't have Hollinger-level analytical research skills in basketball, but instead took a different approach, making a big deal of personal connections, weaving a huge network of people, and legend has it that Woking has an inside hand on every team. Because he can always get first-hand information about NBA teams and has a high degree of reliability, he is known as the "news monger" who holds the first place in the NBA world. As a news monger, it is inevitable to release some fake news, as for whether it is a smear related to interests or malicious hype, only Woking himself knows. Therefore, Yuanfei does not have a high opinion of Woking.

"I didn't expect Mr. Jason to have read despicable works, and I was really flattered. To introduce myself, I am a reporter for the Record, a part-time contributor to ESPN, and please call me Woking. Woking had a courteous smile on his face, "Jason. Wang is the youngest data analyst in the league, and the Rockets have grown significantly in recent years, going straight from outside the playoff circle to the Finals. ”

"Everywhere, I'm just a little guy in the team. Of course, it's not that the Rockets don't respect you enough to send a small person to be interviewed, it's just that the situation during the Finals is special and there are too many internal affairs on the team. "Yuan Fei is reckless, and his words are not very polite.

Woking's face darkened, and he thought to himself, is this sarcastic that he is not big enough? However, he considered Wang Yuanfei's age, so he should speak directly as a young man, and he was too careful. He said: "From some information I have obtained, Mr. Wang is one of the important decision-makers of the team's management, and even Mr. Dawson listens to you very much, but he must not be said to be a small person. ”

Yuanfei's expression froze, and he said in his heart that you are a Woking, and even the details of the team's operation have been checked, and it seems that this news dealer has also dug up a lot of information inside the rocket. However, he still showed a professional smile and said, "I wonder what information Mr. Woking wants to interview about the team this time?" ”

"The interview is secondary, mainly to establish some business contacts with Mr. Wang." Woking smiled even more flatteringly, "I'm trying to build a network of 29, oh no, 30 teams, after all, the Charlotte Bobcats joined the league this summer." Our information network is mutually beneficial, and it is convenient for the exchange of information between various teams in the future that is not convenient for official disclosure. And on the Rockets' side, Jason. Mr. Wang was the right person I carefully selected. Of course, there is a reward for this provision of information. As far as I know, Mr. Wang is still studying, so it's always good to have an extra income, right? ”

"Haha, Mr. Woking, you're really understanding. The job of a data analyst doesn't pay much, and I'm worried about college tuition. Yuanfei laughed, and Wojin also smiled with a smile on his face: "Yes, yes." Who has a grudge against money? ”

"Someone who has an enmity with the dollar must be a fool!" Yuan Fei echoed, suddenly put away his smile, and said with a serious face: "But I'm just a fool, I refuse!" Please come back! ”

"Huh?" Woking was suddenly thundered, and he was stunned for a while. "But our interview ......"

"The interview is over, please send Mr. Woking back to the parking lot!" Yuanfei had already opened the door and shouted to the security guards.

"You arrogant boy who doesn't know what to do, Lao Tzu must become the most influential media person in the NBA league. I'm going to make you stink and make you can't get along! On the way back, Woking kept cursing: "Lao Tzu will definitely make you regret it!" ”

And Yuanfei is not afraid to offend Woking. Unbeknownst to Woking, this is not just the chief data analyst, but also one of the team's shareholders. Otherwise, he wouldn't have poached the boss behind the scenes.
