Li Tuanjie nodded at Xia Fangfei, signaling that he knew.

……

In the locker room of the Mavericks' home team, head coach Johnson commented on the performance of various players in this game, although Li Tuanjie's performance was not perfect, but for a newcomer, it was also extremely good.

I have to say that in terms of the atmosphere of the team's locker room, the Mavericks should be in the top three in this league, in the Mavericks' locker room, although there are not so many jokes, but there will definitely be no infighting for power, everyone knows that the absolute core of this team is Nowitzki, and as long as Nowitzki does not retire, he will always be the absolute core of the Mavericks!

After the team summary meeting after the game, Li Tuanjie was ready to leave the stadium, and Xia Fangfei was still waiting for him.

"Wait, unity, is this gone? Haha, today you are the protagonist of the lore, and you will definitely have to show up at the press conference in a while! "Head coach Johnson saw that Li Tuanjie was leaving, and hurriedly shouted to him!

Press conference?! Li Tuanjie was stunned, is he a newcomer qualified to attend the press conference? Isn't that what the core players of the team are treated like?!

……

Half an hour later, in the conference room of the American Airlines Center arena, head coach Johnson cleared his throat and smiled at the large number of reporters in the audience.

"Even though it's just a preseason game, I'm very happy with the performance of our Mavericks, especially our rookie this year, Li Tuanjie, it's really hard to believe that he is a new player with no NBA experience!"

"As we all know, our Mavericks experienced a lot of setbacks last season, so we haven't held a rookie meeting for Li Tuanjie, and today we will take advantage of this post-game press conference to hold a rookie meeting for Li Tuanjie, and reporters can start asking questions if they have any questions!"

……

As soon as Johnson's words came out, many reporters in the audience immediately raised their hands, ready to ask questions.

"Dirk, will the loss in the Finals last season affect you this season? I mean it doesn't affect your faith! The first reporter stood up and asked.

Nowitzki was a little annoyed, these reporters really can't open which pot, last season's finals was Nowitzki's wound, his performance in that round of the series is really not good, if he can play the regular season, the Mavericks may not have the possibility of winning the championship!

Now the reporter's question is tantamount to rubbing salt on Nowitzki's wounds, and although Nowitzki usually looks polite, it does not mean that he has no temper......

In the Mavericks' game against the Suns, Dampier was completely beaten by the opposing overlord Stoudemire, and Nowitzki couldn't contain his temper a little, and asked angrily, "How many goals did our interior line score by Stoudemire?" Thirty? Forty?! ”

……

Now, the reporter's question is a little irritating Nowitzki, "The protagonist of this press conference is our lore hero Li Tuanjie today, and I will ask my question next time." ”

Nowitzki was quite sensible, suppressed his anger, and did not explode!

"Mr. Li Tuanjie, there was a negative news about you on the Internet before the draft, I believe you must be very clear, that is, you have a history of mental illness, may I take this opportunity today, do you need to clarify?" A female reporter who looked at her young age asked Li Tuanjie.

Li Tuanjie sighed in his heart, he should come after all, when he was notified by Johnson that he was going to attend the press conference, he had already expected that there would definitely be reporters who would ask him this question.

After thinking for a moment, Li Tuanjie frowned and said: "Regarding the news you said, I do know that it was broken by a sports gossip reporter in my country, and I really want to clarify this misunderstanding......

"To be precise, the confirmed case is real, but it's not as serious as everyone thinks, I'm just a little depressed, well, adolescent depression...... As we all know, depression is a ...... of mental illness."

Li Tuanjie said slowly, this statement was discussed with Xia Fangfei and them.

The reporter who asked the question nodded, if it was really like Li Tuanjie's statement, Li Tuanjie was sixteen or seventeen years old two years ago, was in adolescence, and suffered from adolescent depression, it was simply normal......

And depression is indeed a type of mental illness, but it is not so taken seriously.

Besides, Li Tuanjie has been coming to Mavericks for so long, and when he was training with other teammates, no one felt any mental problems from him!

"Ahem, our Mavericks collective players can prove that Li Tuanjie really has no problems in terms of spirit, haha, if you have to say that he is sick, I think he must have precocious puberty, you have all seen his performance on the court today, he is really too mature, mature and calm is a little scary! Who would have believed that this kid was only nineteen years old! Terry opened his mouth to say a few words and helped Li Tuanjie clarify.

"That's right, Li Tuanjie is a steady and honest child, our Maverick will never allow any media to slander Li Tuanjie, now that the issue of mental illness history has been clarified, if the media continues to grasp this matter in the future, we Maverick will definitely take legal means to safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of Li Tuanjie......" Head coach Avery Johnson said to the reporters in the audience with a serious face.

……

He opened his mouth to clarify that it was adolescent depression, and his teammates also proved that the manager made a threat......

Regarding the question of Li Tuanjie's history of mental illness, it is basically equivalent to opening the page in the past, and no reporter is not interested in grasping this topic anymore......

"Mr. Li Tuanjie, Yao Ming is your compatriot, Yao Ming is already the top center player in the league, will this make you feel pressure? In your mind, what kind of player is Yao Ming? ”

"Pressure, no, no, no, Yao Ming doesn't make me feel pressure, only motivation! Yao Ming is the top basketball player in our country, I will aim for him, train hard, and strive to close the gap between me and him as soon as possible! Li Tuanjie's emotional intelligence and eloquence are actually quite good, and he is extremely careful when speaking on this occasion, and he will definitely not say something offensive.

Johnson nodded with satisfaction, he has been in the NBA for many years, from his player career to his coaching career, he has seen countless rookies, and Johnson is very satisfied with his ability to adapt to the media.
