In the impression of media reporters, especially the foul at the last moment, everyone was impressed, and the extremely coquettish kick rewrote the result of the whole game.

"You've had great results in these games and you're fully qualified to compete for the Rookie of the Year, do you have any ideas for competition?"

The first person to ask was a reporter from the Denver media outlet Nugglove, and since he is the mouthpiece of the Nuggets, his question is not embarrassing.

"Why not, know that every player can only fight for Rookie of the Year once! If you miss this time, there will be no next time! ”

Ji Liang did not deny that although the gold content of the best rookie is not very high, as he said, all players only have one chance, and how can he give up easily.

In addition, the rookie class of 1998 is still very good, and if the course of history does not change much, the ones who will become superstars in the future are Nowitzki, Carter and Pierce, as well as several All-Stars, and it is also an honor to be able to press them to become the best rookie.

However, Chi Liang's statement was not agreed by all media reporters, and some media reporters even pursed their mouths with disdainful expressions.

In the current NBA, no foreign player has won the best rookie award.

In addition, although the emergence of foreign stars such as Sabonis and D'Antoni has made the league's attitude towards international players less discriminatory, there are still many media outlets that despise or even exclude foreign players, especially Asian players.

It has to be said here that the award is voted on by sports journalists across the United States and Canada, and if you want to become the best rookie, Ji Liang will inevitably have more difficulty and must get better results and data, so that they have nothing to say.

At this time, a reporter from the Los Angeles Times asked, "What do you say about the last ball, which I think is controversial?"

The Los Angeles Times is the mouthpiece of the Lakers, and they will target any judgment that is unfavorable to the Lakers.

At this time, D'Antoni on the side clasped his hands to his chest, hesitated slightly, and dispelled the idea of stopping.

"It's not controversial, is it! There was no mistake in the referee's decision, this is the rule of the league! ”

As Chi Liang said, shooters in this period used this trick to take advantage, especially Reggie Miller, who launched a 'Miller kick' in almost every game, which can be said to be not uncommon.

In line with the principle of prudence, Chi Liang motioned to the staff, and the next news reporter continued to ask questions.

It didn't take long for Ji Liang to finish asking questions, and now he has played three games, and his appeal to the media is not as good as Van Exel, who is sitting next to him.

No way, Van Exel is an all-star player, and he is also a Lakers 'abandoned player', and he also got excellent data, and the topic is also very topical.

The media began to ask questions, which were nothing more than their thoughts on the new team, their evaluation of Ji Liang and the performance of this game.

Although he is known as a fan maniac, Van Exel can still maintain his sanity, and mostly answer questions with some high-sounding clichés, such as not caring about data, Ji Liang is doing very well, as long as victory can sacrifice personal data.

This undoubtedly disappointed the journalists, who also wanted to guide the 'Fan Maniac' and get topical news from him.

As a result, Fan was in a very good mood and did not follow their ideas.

After interviewing the home team, O'Neal finally came out of the background as the spokesperson for the visiting team.

In this game, O'Neal played excellently, achieving a big double-double of 34 points, 17 rebounds and 4 blocks.

Unfortunately, the Lakers lost the game.

"Shaq, can you rate this game?"

At the direction of the press officer, the New York Times reporter was the first to ask the question.

"There's nothing to say, basketball is round, strong strength has the possibility of failure, even the Bulls, who had the best regular season record in the 95-96 season, lost ten games, and this is not a fuss!"

"What do you think of the Nuggets?"

At O'Neill's instructions, this time it was the Washington Post reporter who asked the question.

"Compared to last year, the Nuggets are undoubtedly on the road to revival, they have a lot of potential players, and they have the stars of the year! With the Nuggets' performance, I wouldn't be surprised even if they made the playoffs this season! ”

O'Neill is not stupid, he has been in the league for five or six years, and naturally knows how to deal with journalists.

"Shaq, can you rate your opponent? For example, kill your Nuggets No. 1 player! ”

This time, it was a USA Today reporter who asked the question, and they wanted O'Neill to be 'outspoken' and get enough topicality.

"He's a lot of quality and I think he's the best rookie in this draft. In particular, his playmaking skills are better than many traditional point guards. The most impressive thing was the last section, where he showed amazing strength! I don't think Denver is for him, he should go to Los Angeles! ”

Thinking of the scene in the last quarter, O'Neal couldn't stop being depressed, the Lakers' offensive efficiency is not bad, but what is the result?

Ji Liang led the bench lineup, first defeated the Lakers' bench lineup, forcing the Lakers to dispatch the main lineup in advance.

Surprisingly, the main lineup did not have much advantage, and when the Nuggets also played the main team, the Lakers fell into the disadvantage.

O'Neal's last sentence was definitely full of topicality, and I don't know if it was his idea, Coach Harris's instructions, or both.

After the interview, Ji Liang dragged back to the apartment with tired steps, and did not want to stand up again as soon as he lay in bed.

He hadn't adapted to the rhythm of the NBA, resulting in a lack of physical allocation, which, combined with the burden of dynamic vision, left him almost running out of energy.

When Ji Liang began to rest, it was also the best time for reporters to rush to the draft, wanting to write the manuscript as soon as possible and publish it in tomorrow's newspaper.

In order to increase sales, reporters and editors-in-chief mostly exaggerated the content, and at the same time took some more eye-catching headlines, such as "O'Neal handpicked the best rookie", "Nuggets No. 1 player beats the Lakers", "Asian rookie is expected to join forces with O'Neal" and other headlines.

This game is full of topicality, and the American media is bound to cover it overwhelmingly, and Ji Liang has naturally become the focus of discussion.

Whether it's the stats obtained, or the reason for the free throw kill against the Lakers, or even O'Neal, it can attract people's attention.

Of course, Ji Liang's performance also deserves this kind of discussion, whether it is the debut of the century, the youngest Mr. triple-double, or the performance against Scottie Pippen, he has accumulated a lot of fame.
