Chapter Ninety-Eight: Agali's Speech

At 120:113, the Suns defeated the Kings on the road, ending the losing streak and sending the opponent to a three-game losing streak.

The Kings' Cousins was the best player, with 19 points and 12 rebounds to add two assists. Thomas Jr. had 23 points and four assists and three rebounds, Greaves had 10 points, five assists and six rebounds, Bamot had 11 points and three assists and two rebounds, and Thompson had 10 points.

For the 76ers, Li Mojie had 22 points, 10 assists, six rebounds, one steal and one block. Ramon Sessions had 18 points and six rebounds, Gerald Green had 14 points and four rebounds, and Frye had 20 points and two rebounds.

Li Mojie played well, but after the game, almost all reporters forgot about Li Mojie winning the MVP of the game, and instead asked Li Mojie what he thought of Thomas Jr.'s 23-point stats under his defense.

At the post-match press conference, when a reporter asked Li Mojie what he thought of Thomas Jr., Li Mojie praised: "I think he performed very well. Thomas Jr. is a special player and he has a special talent. He's been playing this game for a long time, but I don't see when he's tired, he's hungry to win, he's hungry to prove himself on the best basketball stage in the world. ”

Hornacek also praised Thomas Jr. in an interview with the media, "His performance is unbelievable, you know, it's not easy to be in the NBA with his height, not to mention that today he almost led the Kings to beat us, he is too similar to the AI of the year, I have played against AI, I know, they have a lot in common." ”

When a reporter asked Thomas Jr. what he thought of Li Mojie, Thomas Jr. also praised him vigorously, "Li Mojie did it, he led the team to victory, I believe that the Suns will not continue to stop, and will continue to win in the future." I think this season, under the leadership of Li Mojie, the Suns can make the playoffs. I'm optimistic about Li Mojie, I think he will become a superstar, just like LeBron did back then, his performance is phenomenal! ”

Kings head coach Mike Malone also praised, saying, "Li Mojie is definitely the best champion in recent years, look at what the Suns have achieved under his leadership this season." He's a leader, the kind of core player that the team and the fans want to be around. I believe that the Suns will definitely rise again under his leadership! In this year's draft, our management tried to trade him upwards to recruit him to our team, but unfortunately it didn't work out. ”

So far, the interviews have been normal, until a reporter interviewed the daughter of the Kings owner, Agari, and the Indian Shih Tzu said with a look of fascination: "I've been following Marc Jakar for a long time, you know he's a Californian, and I used to go to Stapps Arena to cheer for the Trojans." ”

Then she made a startling declaration: "After the lottery, I was sad for a long time to learn that the Kings didn't win the lottery. I remember he said in an interview before the draft that he wanted to play for his hometown team, so the Kings were willing to trade the Suns for a chance to play for his hometown at any cost! ”

On the other side, Li Mojie didn't know that Ajiali said such things in an interview, and the reporter asked him very badly: "I heard that you want to stay in California to play before the draft, right?" ”

"Ah, yes, I'm from California, I'm used to the climate, the culture, the food...... But I'm happy to be with the Suns now. Li Mojie replied with a smile.

The reporter on the side smiled tacitly, and automatically ignored Li Mojie's last sentence.

Kings owner daughter Agary publicly showed her love for Li Mojie at a press conference, although the two were not interviewed in the same place at all, but this did not prevent reporters from making a big news.

……

Although every news article uses uncertain words, such as breaking the news according to relevant people, breaking news according to reliable sources, etc., use uncertain, uncertain, and question marks to report the news.

But as soon as the news was reported, it immediately caused a stir in the Phoenix area.

While some people feel that trading Li Mojie is unlikely, what if, what won't happen to this alliance? Do you think NBA management is really that shrewd? What if the Suns' management is really fooled? Didn't the Suns trade the core back then, weren't the little overlords Stoudemire and Nash both?

Take Li Mojie to trade, what will Phoenix do then? Do you continue to rot?

As a result, anxious fans left messages on the official website of the Suns team to ask about the authenticity of the news.

As soon as the news was released the next morning, excited Suns fans crowded into the Suns' official website, as well as Li Mojie's personal social account to leave a message.

At this time, Li Mojie was still doing warm-up training in the stadium.

……

On the other side, the Huaxia fan forum is also in full swing.

"That Adali is so beautiful!"

"Upstairs is crooked, we are discussing which team Li Mojie should go to! But that Jenkina is also beautiful! ”

"Do you need to talk about that? Li Mojie himself said that he wanted to play for California, isn't there only a few teams in California? Warriors, Clippers, Lakers, Kings. ”

"Needless to say, who wouldn't want to be drafted by the Lakers when playing in the NBA? It just so happens that my department is old, come and take over my department, lead the Zijin Dynasty, and let the fans shout the slogan of BEAT LA again! ”

"Hehe, it's hard to say if you're willing to let someone take over? Besides, who wants to be teammates with Kobe? Isn't George also Californian? has always said that his idol is Kobe, didn't he also reject the Lakers this year? Even a good-tempered person like Gasol said that Kobe Bryant was alone. ”

"It's good to go to the Clippers, Jordan Jr., Griffin, Li Mojie, Paul, this lineup is invincible!"

"Hehe, the Clippers don't have enough balls, let Li Mojie go to be a blue-collar worker?"

......

Downstairs at the club, many fans shouted slogans and held banners to protest the news that the Suns traded for Li Mojie.

The media everywhere didn't think it was a big deal, and they flocked to the Phoenix Suns.

At first, the Suns didn't react, thinking it was just a small storm caused by some verbal interviews, which quickly subsided. But with the development of events, they found out that Li Mojie already had such a status in the hearts of fans.

So the Suns quickly activated emergency public relations measures, contacted Li Mojie as soon as possible, asked him to come forward to appease the fans first, and then immediately prepared a press conference.

So after discussing with his social media manager Amy, Lee Mojie posted a message on Facebook and Instagram that he would continue to play with the Suns.

Then Suns general manager Ryan and team owner Robert also held a special press conference.

At a press conference, General Manager Ryan clarified the rumors of the deal to reporters.

Ryan said at the press conference, "I would like to reiterate once again that all the news about trading Li Mojie is a rumor. We will definitely not trade Marc Lee, he is not for sale in the team......"

Team owner Robert also said, "The Phoenix Suns are a team with an honorable history, and we hope to rebuild him into a strong team and challenge for our first championship." Mojie Lee is the cornerstone of our team, and I promise everyone that I will never trade Mojie Lee! ”

If there is only the general manager's statement, then the credibility is not very high. But since the two bigwigs of the team have said that they will not trade Li Mojie, then the fans can breathe a sigh of relief.

And at noon, Mojie Lee's Facebook network sent another message: "I'm having a great time in Phoenix at the moment, and there are loyal fans here who support us. With reliable teammates to help, I didn't think about leaving, all the news about trading me is untrue, I hope the fans don't get deceived! ”

At this time, the fans confirmed that Li Mojie would not leave, and then settled down.

Settle the fans and the Suns continue their schedule.
