Reasons for losing......

"On Jason Thompson!"

At the post-game press conference, the reporters listened to Gu Yu, Westfaal, and Evans as if they had said it, and took the initiative to carry the black pot.

Cousins, the giant baby, finally couldn't help it and told the truth.

That's right......!

Hearing Cousins' answer, the reporters were all in good spirits at once. In particular, the away reporters who came from San Antonio were even brighter-eyed, looking at Cousins' eyes as if they were looking at a life-saving straw.

If at the post-game press conference, the losing Kings players are all looking for problems from themselves and taking responsibility for everything, of course, it is a very heartwarming thing. After the news is released, it will also make many fans have a deeper understanding of the Kings team and give them a thumbs up.

But from a journalistic point of view, this draft is undoubtedly a failure.

"Who wants to watch this kind of family-friendly news? Yes?? Do you want to see it yourself?? We publish this kind of news every day, where do we get the ratings? Where is the advertising without ratings? There is no advertising, I will pay you a salary??? ”

Some reporters can even imagine how their bosses will be furious after they send the manuscript back to the headquarters.

But a word from Cousins saved the night.

"Oh......?"

Seeing the stage, Westphaal and Evans had already turned their heads, looked at Cousins in surprise, and even stretched out their hands to stop Cousins from speaking, and a San Antonio reporter immediately began to arch the fire, raising his eyebrows and saying: "DeMarcus, you mean that a small part of the reason for the loss is on Thompson??" ”

When asking this question, the reporter used a lot of tricks to accentuate the words "a small part" and deliberately raise the volume, just to let these words jump into Cousins's mind first.

“…… A small part?? ”

Sure enough, the reporter's little trick immediately took effect, and the simple Cousins's expression changed instantly, his face turned red, and he asked angrily: "Didn't you watch the game?" Aren't you on the sidelines? After watching the game, you should know that there is no 'small part' at all, right? The main reason for losing is him!! ”

"DeMarcus ......!"

Evans couldn't take it anymore, and if Cousins was allowed to continue, it would inevitably cause an uproar.

After losing the third game of the playoffs and losing the first home game, the Kings still had a wave of infighting??

I'm afraid that the difficulty of the game is too low, and I want to choose Hell mode!

"But just now your teammates and coaches said that the responsibility lies with them~"

The reporter was not idle, and continued to arch the fire: "Your opinion is not the same as theirs, what reason do you have?" ”

Go ahead!

Let's talk about all the unhappiness in my heart!!

In fact, the reason for the King's loss can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye. The reporters are not blind, and they are also people who have been immersed in the basketball circle for so many years, and they can be regarded as experts, so will this reason not be found? ?

No matter how bad it is, even neutral fans who haven't watched the game, looking at the game reports and statistics after the game, they can find the "culprit" of the king's loss at a glance.

played 22 minutes, the basic data was miserable, and he only got 2 points and 4 rebounds in total, and the number of rebounds was even less than that of the team's starting scoring guard Gu Yu.

1 assist, it was a throw-in at the end of the half, and it was thrown directly to Gu Yu, Gu Yu didn't look at it, jumped in the air and turned around, and threw it into the incredible whistle ball, which was the assist.

There were no steals, no blocks, but there were 3 turnovers, and two of them appeared in the last quarter of the game, when the scores of the two sides were anxious, which can be said to have directly led to the team's decline.

He made 4 shots in the game, hit 1 ball, and made two free throws that were about to hit the popcorn staff on the sidelines, and none of them scored.

This is the statistical performance given by Jason Thompson, the starting power forward of the Kings, in Game 3 of the Western Conference semifinals.

Other high-level stats such as offensive efficiency, defensive efficiency, plus/minus, rebounding percentage, assist percentage, etc., are all messed up, and they are basically at the bottom of the game.

Perhaps you could say that this is because Thompson's playing time is not long, and judging from the substitution process of the game, Thompson's playing time is also a little fragmented. Combined with the number of shots, the coach and teammates don't seem to trust him.

But anyone who has watched the game knows that this is big.

"We gave him a chance, we gave him a lot of chances, I didn't want to do it, my cousin, I wanted Tyrek, we were the rest of my team-mates, we were caught in the middle, when he was empty, I won't say everything! At least 70 percent of the time, we passed the ball to him, and you saw it! ”

Cousins frowned, looking like he was about to explode, and complained loudly, "But what about him? When you get the ball, hesitate, don't say it, you are trembling when you even handle the ball, and it is a mistake at every turn! ”

"Ahem...... But Jason still works the defensive end......"

"Coach, don't protect him anymore!"

Before Westphal finished his round, Cousins shook his hand angrily and said loudly: "Defensive effort? Yes, he worked hard, but he tried to foul! How old is Opposite Timmy? He played 22 minutes, 5 fouls, and was given 33 points and 14 rebounds by Timmy on the head!! Each of us has some bad points in this game, but when it comes to responsibility, it must be in the ......"

Suddenly, the microphone in front of Cousins was silent, and everyone was surprised, Gu Yu, who hadn't spoken for a long time, had his head sticking out from under the table.

I could vaguely see that Gu Yu was holding the microphone cable in one hand, and glanced at Evans, who immediately got up, pulled up Cousins, and dragged him out.

"That's the end of the conference, that's it! Please wait! Waiting for the Spurs players and coaches!! ”

The staff of the Kings team immediately came out of the round, and in the disgruntled boos of the reporters, the kings and generals almost fled, and disappeared from the venue under the cover of the staff.

"Oh, that's boring!"

At the scene, a reporter immediately began to use the topic to play, and complained with a cheap face: "Are the current players not allowed to tell the truth?" Finally, everyone opened their hearts and said what was in their hearts, from the team boss to the coach to the team staff, they all stepped forward to block it, wanting to cover it up, and they didn't treat us as human beings~! ”

"That's it, the Kings are afraid that the loss will output a psychological shadow, only DeMarcus is still a little bloody, and the others are too boring~"

In a word, many reporters who were pro-Spurs began to chatter, and the words were deliberately loud, so that the four kings and generals who were leaving the venue could hear it clearly.

“…… Let's go, let's get on the bus first! ”

Westphale is also a person who has seen big scenes, this situation is not so much that he is at a loss, his mind is very clear, while whispering to remind Evans to hold the unhappy Cousins, while taking out his mobile phone and starting to contact the coaching staff, immediately drive the bus to the back door of the arena, all the staff get on the bus, and leave first.

"Yo yo yo, look at it, it's a mess to go here, the Kings are all fighting in the team, no wonder they lost."

The cynicism of some reporters continued, seeing that Cousins obviously wanted to struggle, and said something to vent, and continued to arch the fire: "DeMarcus, don't worry! It's okay, if you really have anything to say, feel free to contact me! I'll make an appointment with your agent for an interview, waiting for you! ”

These guys ......!

Sitting in the middle of such a group of peers who are afraid that the world will not be chaotic, Xiao Yu only feels that his face has been lost.

The era of free media has indeed allowed everyone to have more sources of information and enrich their lives a lot. But the drawbacks are also obvious - for the sake of ratings and advertising performance, media people will interview whatever is really exciting, and there is no ethics at all.

Cousins' simplicity and impulsiveness have become a weapon that can be used by reporters on the spot, and if this series of problems cannot be properly resolved on the bus back to the center of the team, Cousins will not take the initiative to publicly apologize tonight......

"Kings, I'm afraid it's going to be a big storm......!"

Just when Xiao Yu was anxious, thinking about how to save a little face for the Kings in his report.

At the door of the venue, a big back head who had not spoken all this time paused in his steps.

…… Worst!

Seeing Gu Yu's appearance, he didn't need to look at Gu Yu's expression, just from his back, Xiao Yu could guess his current psychological state.

With Gu Yu's temperament, it is rare to be able to endure until now during the press conference. At this time, the reporters kept arching the fire, and Cousins was dragged away by Evans all the way, but Gu Yu, Westphal and Evans failed to pay attention to it.

A Cousins publicly lashing out at a teammate is enough for the Kings to have a headache. If Gu Yu comes to add fuel to the fire and quarrel with the reporters on the scene......

"Gu ......"

"I mean, you're pretty much the same, aren't you??"

Without waiting for Xiao Yu to shout, Gu Yu had already spoken.

"You are also going to have the most desired material, and you have also filmed your favorite scene, from the perspective of your work, our Kings team is enough to cooperate today, right?"

Turning back slightly, Gu Yu frowned, his eyes were like knives, and when he scanned the audience, the reporters who were still chattering and arguing just now were instantly muted.

"Most of you, I still respect, after all, everyone is working. But a small number of people ...... Can also the pharmacy Bilian is not ??? ”
