Chapter 355: Pre-Match Interview
"Can the G4 Trail Blazers defend their home court and tie the score?"
"The key battle, whether the Mavericks win another game to get the match point, or the Trail Blazers refuse to lose in a row to get back a city, we will wait and see!"
"The Dallas are menacing, can the remnants of the Pioneers hold on to their home glory?"
"G4 Xue's play will be the key to this game!"
......
Before the game, the major media have begun to build momentum for the G4 series between the two sides, and compared to several other playoff matchups, this game is undoubtedly the most eye-catching.
When Xue Ding's carrier Yaya appeared outside the stadium with his parents, reporters who had been waiting outside the stadium surrounded him.
"Xue, may I ask if you have any big moves prepared for this game?"
A Chinese female reporter took the lead in asking, Xue Ding glanced at the female reporter in front of him and replied: "This is a secret, please forgive me for not revealing it!" β
"What do you think of what you said after the last Dirk game?" The reporter continued to ask.
"I don't know what he said after the last game, I don't know, so I can't answer that question for you!"
Of course, Xue Ding knew what Dirk Nowitzki and others said after the last game, but Xue Ding didn't want to say anything in front of the media, because it was meaningless in Xue Ding's opinion.
"Dirk said after the last game that you have two games left in the season and want you to enjoy your vacation, don't you have anything to say?"
Obviously, the reporter didn't get the answer she wanted, and didn't want to just give up.
βwhatοΌ Who gave him the confidence of his mystery? β
After Xue Ding said this, he ended the interview, walked into the stadium with his family, and arranged Yaya and his parents, Xue Ding, Roy and Miller attended the pre-game press conference with coach Pritchard.
"Coach Pritchard, after losing the last game, you are now 2-1 down, so will you make any adjustments in this game?" The journalist asked.
Pritchard shook his head and said: "I think we played well in the last game, but we were a little bit unlucky and didn't hit the goals we should have scored, so I don't think we have anything to adjust!" β
Pritchard's ability to open his eyes and tell nonsense really amazed Xue Ding and Roy, who were sitting on the side, and it was obvious that Pritchard didn't want to reveal his arrangements for today to the media.
So calmly talking nonsense to the media, without blushing on the face.
"So do you think you can win this fight today?"
"Of course, I believe in my players, I believe they are the best, even though they are still young, they are great, and I am very fortunate to be able to coach such a group of good players!" Pritchard said confidently.
"Brandon, what did you think of the Mavericks' post-game remarks in the last game?" A black female reporter asked.
Roy smiled and said into the microphone: "Dirk is a senior, I respect him, he has a lot of things worth learning from me, but he likes to talk big, I hope you don't learn it, it's not good!" β
After listening to Roy finish this paragraph with a kind face, Xue Ding couldn't help laughing.
Although Roy was smiling when he answered the question, it was still clear from his words that it smelled of gunpowder.
"yes, I think Brandon is right, he just loves to brag!" Xue Ding added with a smile.
"Xue, you didn't play very well in the last game, and many people think after the game that you are just a player who can read statistics, what do you think?" A white female reporter asked.
"I'll use my performance to silence those who question me!"
Xue Ding tilted his head and said into the microphone with a contemptuous smile at the corner of his mouth.
......
After the press conference, Xue Ding and his teammates came to the home team's locker room to prepare for a warm-up. This game is crucial for the Trail Blazers.
"My favorite record store, yesterday was his last day"
"The pieces that once intoxicated me are all scattered on the side of the street"
"My favorite bookstore, she didn't survive this summer"
β......β
Xue Ding, who was in the locker room, was humming a song about the new pants of his favorite domestic rock band recently, and it could be seen from his expression that although they were behind by a large score, this game was very important for them, but his whole state was actually quite relaxed.
Xue Ding's favorite lyrics in the song "I don't want to die in failure and loneliness, I don't want to live underground all the time".
In this song, Xue Ding heard a spirit of not admitting defeat.
"Xue, what song are you humming? It feels pretty good! β
At Xue Ding's suggestion, Oden, who will appear as the starting center forward in this game, asked with a smile.
"This song is called People Without Ideals Are Not Sad, and it is sung by a band called New Pants in our Huaxia, and I also think it is quite interesting!" Xue Ding said while tying his shoelaces.
"New pants! That's a cool name! I like it! I'll listen to their music! Auden smiled and patted Xue Ding's shoulder and said.
"It's really cool, I think you should listen to it, I'm sure you'll like it too!"
After changing their clothes and shoes, Xue Ding and the others came to the sidelines and began to stretch on the sidelines, although there was still a period of time before the start of the game, but there were already many people in the audience of the stadium who had entered in advance.
The Mavericks also spoke to the media before the game, with Dirk, Kidd and head coach Carlisle in attendance at the pregame press conference.
"Coach Carlisle, did you make any adjustments to deal with this game?"
"No, we don't need to adjust!" Carlisle shook his head and said confidently.
"Are you confident that you can take two wins from Portland and come back to Dallas to finish the series?"
"Of course, there is no doubt about it! While the Portlanders caused me some problems and took a win on our home turf, it's clear that they won't win a game in the future! Carlisle said confidently.
"Dirk, what do you think of Brandon saying before the game that you like to talk big?"
A reporter stood up and relayed what Roy had just said to the reporter to Nowitzki, who was visibly upset to hear this.
"I will tell them in the arena to learn to respect their seniors!"
Nowitzki said very seriously to the camera, obviously being said that he liked to brag and made him angry.
"You didn't play very well in the last game, so have you adjusted your form in this game?"
"You'll know how I'm doing when the game starts!" Nowitzki tilted his head and replied coldly.
