At the press conference after the game, the Magic side was very deserted.

The Rockets have gathered a large number of reporters, and ESPN and hoop sports alone have more than one reporter.

When Qiao Hai led Yao Ming to the scene of the post-match press conference, there was a commotion in a corner of the scene.

As soon as Yao Ming entered the door, he also said hello to the two or three reporters in the corner.

Qiao Hai also looked there, a reporter from CCTV5, a reporter from Fire Sports, and a reporter from the Basketball Herald.

"Yao should be attending a post-match press conference for the first time, right?"

Qiao Hai took the microphone and asked a question first.

Da Yao nodded, and the reporters below also nodded, and sure enough, this was Da Yao's first time participating in the post-game press conference.

The first foreign champion in NBA history, the man who let Charles Barkley kiss the ass of a donkey, and Yao Ming, who recently cut 20+ double-doubles in various outbreaks and occupied the top spot on the latest rookie list!

It's the first time to participate in the post-game press conference, you can imagine how much attention Yao Ming will receive, and this attention has been suppressed, after this game, Qiao Hai is finally going to release the attention in these suppressions.

However, at the beginning of the press conference, the first person to accept questions was still Qiao Hai.

"Joe, what do you think of this victory?"

'This win is very important for us, the off-field impact and after winning this game, we have won five in a row, we have shown a lot of special things and with this streak we have played with confidence.

"At the beginning of this game, you and the Magic were tied, but in the second half of the game, you suddenly broke out and took the lead, did you make any adjustments?"

Qiao Hai shook his head: "I just told Yao that his shot needs to be more decisive." ”

So, after this question, the topic automatically extended to Yao Ming.

"In the second half of the first quarter, Yao scored consecutive points to help the Rockets take the lead and scored a team-high 29 points in the game, how much do you think Yao Ming contributed to this game?"

"He's the best man of the game, otherwise I wouldn't have brought him to the post-match press conference."

"Not counting this game, Yao Ming averaged 20.2 points per game during the five-game winning streak, so can this performance become Yao's normal performance?"

"I don't know." Qiao Hai's answer surprised everyone, and he continued: "Whether it can become Yao's norm depends on his personal efforts and performance. ”

Qiao Hai pushed the question to Yao Ming, and then he answered a few more questions about the team's ranking.

'We're only tied for eighth now, and we're not halfway through the season, so the winning streak and the standings are only temporary, so we need to keep working hard if we want to keep that position.'

"The top eight in the West are good, but our goal is to keep improving and try to get to the top of the rankings."

"Has there been a change in goals? There is no change, our goal is still just to make the playoffs. ”

……

After Qiao Hai's questions, the reporters quickly turned their attention to Yao Ming.

Yao Ming's social style is very mature, but he is a bit shy of the Celestial Empire, and he doesn't talk much, and in terms of interviews, Qiao Hai is still very relieved about Yao Ming.

However, Yao Ming used it in an interview with domestic reporters.

When answering questions, there will always be one or two "that" floating out, Qiao Hai frowned, and decided to remind Yao Ming.

"Da Yao, try to avoid saying that word."

"Huh? Why? ”

"That's, it's kind of like nigger in English, it's misleading."

nigger means nigger, and in the United States, the word is racism, so in this regard, Qiao Hai feels that Yao Ming needs to pay attention to it.

Yao Ming nodded, he obviously understood what Qiao Hai meant.

Continuing to answer the question, he consciously reduced his use of the word "that."

……

After Yao Ming's 29-point post-game press conference, the headlines of major media in North America all belonged to Yao Ming, the first foreign champion in NBA history, under the reuse of Qiao Hai, finally began his outbreak.

The domestic media touted Yao Ming even more strongly.

"The Great Wall of China scored 29 points in the NBA arena and helped the team beat the opponent!"

"Yao Ming broke out again, he may have walked on the road to a super center!"

"29 points, 11 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 blocks, under the luxury data, Yao Ming has become the absolute core of the Rockets?"

“……”

Regarding the domestic media reports, Qiao Hai also reminded Yao Ming: "Yao, I don't know if you like to watch some media reports, but I have to remind you that the domestic media reports should be seen as little as possible, and the media reports in North America can be read more, especially the reports of Hoop Sports and ESPN." ”

In fact, although Hoop and Fire Fight are the same family, Qiao Hai still values Hoop more, and in terms of basketball professionalism, Hoop does better.

As for ESPN, although the current king of North American sports media will often post some provocative reports, ESPN still analyzes many data reports.

……

After the Magic, the rocket continued to wander in the east.

On January 9, they moved to Atlanta, where the game will start on January 10, so the Rockets will have a day off in Atlanta.

The bus drove to the hotel, and Qiao Hai sat in the front row, and next to him sat Stamrefour.

"If it had been three or four years ago, I would have suggested that no matter what time the away game against the Hawks is, it's best not to fly to Atlanta early, especially if you come to Atlanta a day early, like this one."

Qiao Hai turned his head and looked at Stanreford: "What?" Is there anything wrong with coming early? ”

"Before 2001, there was a Gold Club in Atlanta, and almost every NBA team, every time you go to Atlanta, there are players who go to the Gold Club to spend money, so you know."

When it comes to the Gold Club, Qiao Hai understands.

Gold Club Qiao Hai still knows that in the 90s of the 20th century, almost most of the NBA players visited this mysterious club, and after it was exposed in 2000, it once became a scandal.

A number of NBA players, including Ewing, Mutombo, Larry Johnson, Oakley, Starks, and Rodman, have been implicated, and they have been investigated or testified in court, revealing a large number of details related to them.

For a place like the Golden Club, as a head coach, Qiao Hai naturally doesn't want his players to appear in this kind of place.

In any case, patronizing this kind of place will definitely affect the state of the players.

As far as Qiao Hai knows, there is a player named James Harden in the new century, when he is addicted to big pigu, he is in a miserable state, what eyes defend, what touches porcelain, all kinds of black spots.

As soon as I got away from the big pigu, it broke out immediately.

……

The Rockets eventually stayed at their hotel in downtown Atlanta and began waiting for the next day's regular season game.
