Chapter 178: Press Conference (Ninth Update)

Fortunately, the Pacers did not lose the entire series, they are currently tied 2:2 with their opponents, as long as they win two more games, they can still win the championship, Coach Frank does not want to see his disciples lose confidence because of the loss of this game, so after returning to the locker room, he did not blame Hibbert and others who played badly, nor did he have any arguments with Lance-Stephenson, the culprit who lost the game, but took the initiative to comfort his teammates, Then he called pickled pepper and went to the press conference with Ye Xuan.

When he came to the press conference, Ye Xuan saw the old man showing a long-lost smile, but the two people on both sides of the old man still looked calm. Or in fact, they are now smiling, but you can't see it, yes, it was the Spurs' soul Duncan, the soul of the Spurs, and the future leader of the Spurs, Leonard, who played a brave role in this game.

Obviously, after winning this game, the old man was very happy, maybe not only because after winning this game, they regained the home advantage, but more likely because the successor he chose Duncan finally proved himself in this game, so he felt that his team not only had a chance to hit the championship this year, even if Duncan retired in the future, the Spurs could still rebuild quickly, and even skip the rebuilding link, and smoothly transition to the era when Leonard was the core.

Just like David Robinson smoothly handed over the position of the team boss to Duncan, if a team can go through the transfer period of team rights without waves, maybe the team's re-emergence will be much faster, and like the Spurs, a team that already has the strength to compete for the championship, is originally equipped with a strong role player, and now Leonard's growth rate may still be able to take the initiative to carry the banner after Duncan's retirement and lead the team to continue to compete for the championship.

After seeing Coach Frank of the Pacers bring Ye Xuan and Pickled Pepper to the scene, the old man still waved his hand at Ye Xuan with a smile on his face, making Ye Xuan have to wonder if the old man deliberately chose two facial paralysis to be the core of the team, in case other players jumped out to steal his limelight, while thinking, Ye Xuan couldn't help but think of the scene when the old man asked Split to foul him directly at the beginning of the second quarter of this game, and then smiled at himself.

Later, when the reporter asked about this scene, the old man definitely replied that he did it on purpose, because he wanted Leonard to be able to stare Ye Xuan to death, which made Ye Xuan sure that Zhuge Wei was an old man with a black belly.

After the Spurs finished their press conference, Frank Vogel took Ye Xuan and Pickle Pepper to sit at the press table, the reporters below were obviously not as friendly as after the previous two games, before the Pacers won two games in a row, and the press conference after the game was harmonious, and the reporters were all congratulating and touting, but today, this group of reporters is obviously not ready to let the three Pacers leave so easily.

Sure enough, the first reporter to stand up dropped a bombshell.

"Coach Frank, we found out that Lance Stephenson only played less than three minutes in the first half, during which he not only had no brains to shoot, but also kept leaking people on the defensive end, did you have any conflicts? Or is he upset because you've been put on the bench list?"

The other reporters at the scene were also in an uproar when they heard this question, and they didn't know whether they felt that the question was too sharp or that they felt that the question had caught the point.

However, Coach Frank obviously will not take the initiative to expose the internal contradictions of the team, not to mention that this contradiction has been resolved by Ye Xuan somehow, so Frank will not ruin the Great Wall by telling this matter in order to throw off the pot. So he decisively denied this claim.

"In fact, I don't have any contradiction with Reims, you can also see, I still sent him on the court in the second half, and he performed well in the second half, in fact, this game arranged him on the bench list, completely to let Hill cooperate with Ye Xuan to run without the ball. So the argument that there are contradictions within our team is pure fabrication. ”

After finishing speaking, Coach Frank glanced at the press officer, who was also a person who had experienced strong winds and waves, and immediately understood, and then directly ignored the reporter who wanted to continue to ask questions, and instead pointed to another reporter from the local media in Indiana, who he was more familiar with.

Sure enough, the Indiana reporter still turned to the Pacers' side, and did not ask any embarrassing questions, but only slightly expressed regret that the Pacers lost to the opponent, and then casually asked some innocuous questions and sat down.

However, not all reporters are so easy to deal with, and the reporter who was ordered by the press officer again directly set the target on Ye Xuan's head.

"We found that in this game, Ye Xuan's shots on the offensive end have decreased significantly, and the number of assists has not improved, is it because Ye's role in the team has been reduced? Or is it true that Ye Xuan can't find an opportunity to attack under Leonard's defense? Ye, do you think you've been blown up by Leonard? ”

Ye Xuan was also asked. It is true that his performance in this game is not particularly ideal, especially the performance on the offensive end can be described as struggling, so Ye Xuan has no confidence to face the reporter head-on, but after being asked by the reporter, Ye Xuan still coped with it.

"I was a little uncomfortable in this game, Mr. Greg's tactics were indeed very aimed at me, in the last game we studied and decided to use the off-ball run to deal with the marking of Cohuai, but I didn't expect that in this game, the off-ball running did not have any effect, his performance today can be described as perfect, you can also see that we also had a chance to beat the Spurs, but Cowig's supernatural play made us helpless to accept a home defeat."

Ye Xuan paused for a moment, and then continued, "Oh, by the way, I heard that he also broke his own personal single-game scoring record today, and he was able to play such a strong strength in such a critical battle, I have to say that he is already a first-class star in the league, and Mr. Greg's vision is still so vicious." ”
