"I gave my best in this game, I played at my normal level, but I don't know why we lost to the Raptors, our defense was so bad, I feel like my 42 points were wasted, and some people on our team are to blame for this loss!"

At the post-game press conference, Artest first shook off the pot in the face of the Houston media and fans who came to interrogate him, but he forgot one thing, that is, the fans and media of the Rockets are not stupid, even if some people are pseudo fans who can only read the data, but there are still some real fans who can see the form of the game.

"But we saw that in this game, it was you who broke the rhythm and chemistry of the team with one shot after another, and based on the data we saw, you took 20 shots in the first half and the other players didn't take as many shots as you alone, can you explain this strange phenomenon? As far as we know, you're not the type of player who is good at scoring. ”

"I scored a lot because of my ability to do this job, my players also trust me immensely, today my true shooting percentage remained above 40%, which is enough to show that I am not throwing or shooting, I repeat, today we lost because of the defense, if we can limit the play of Bosh, we should never lose this game!"

Artest's face changed dramatically when he heard a newspaper reporter's post, although his answer sounded reasonable, but many people would be stupid enough to believe his words and didn't know.

And the other generals of the rocket have scolded the beast shamelessly, which is why we trust you immensely? But the ball turned to you and there was no sound, relying on their own players to brush the right to shoot the rookie when they were in the air, and today we are not good at the players, why don't you see you give us the ball to brush and score?

This basketball is a five-person sport, you are a big man, and the fire machine can't overshadow the five people opposite, Kobe Bryant has not won the championship in a season with an average of more than 30 shots per game, and you are a beast that is a few levels worse than the volute and still wants to emulate, can there be a play in this game?

"So Mr. Artest, let me ask you one last question, the next game Totoro is about to return, are you still ready to stick to your style of play and make yourself the main point of attack of the team?"

"Why can't I do that?"

Artest asked rhetorically.

"These three games have proven one thing, and that is that I can do everything that Totoro can do, so why can't I be the offensive initiator of the team? Of course, it has to be a player's form, and in some cases when I'm better than Totoro, I can take my place. ”

Well, Artest's words made the reporter boil all of a sudden, and some viewers who watched the post-game press conference through the live broadcast also exploded all of a sudden.

My neighbor totoro was blue at home.

He also heard the beast's words for the first time, and he didn't forget about shirking the responsibility for losing, anyway, these three games were not games with him, and he could use this kind of data that he didn't care about his teammates regardless of the results of the game to use as a bargaining chip to compete for his core position, which Totoro felt that he couldn't bear it.

If he is asked to face the Raptors' Capono and let him shoot 50 times, he estimates that he can brush a 60+, but is this useful? Kobe Bryant has a 17-8 record of 25 50+ shots, but the volute used more than 30 shots to brush out 25 50+, unlike Artest, who used 40 shots to brush out a 40+.

However, he won't pay too much attention to Artest's words, the strength, potential, commercial value and even appearance of the two of them are placed here, and the interpersonal relationship with the rocket insiders is also Totoro has the upper hand in an all-round way, unless Artest can win 40+50+ in consecutive n games to play a phenomenal performance, otherwise he is not qualified to fight him at all.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Morey, the general manager of the rockets, to call him as promised.

"That, Artest's irresponsible speech was not arranged by us, and I hope you know about this."

Morey's voice sounded a little scared, which couldn't help but surprise the girls next to him and himself, even if the other party was worried about emotional instability, but there was no need for this tone of pleading with others, after all, the other party was the manager, no matter how powerful he was, he was just a basketball player in the end.

It's just that Totoro, who is not stupid, thought about it and made it clear why, he signed a 2+1 rookie contract with the Rockets, and because the Rockets were worried that they wouldn't be able to play, they signed a non-guaranteed clause in the last year, and accordingly, his contract was also a non-restricted contract.

In other words, the Rockets can cut Totoro at any time in the third year, but Totoro can also choose a new home at any time after three years, he will be a completely free player at that time, and the Rockets will not match the offers of other teams and force him to stay.

It's very interesting, he will only be 22 years old in three years, and judging by his current performance, he will definitely be a superstar level player in another three years, and with his influence, he will be able to play and make money for the boss.

This level of player is not something that can be recruited in the league with money, because every team that needs him will give him a maximum salary, and then Totoro has a lot of options, and his mood becomes a decisive factor in where to go.

He is now the master of the rocket, Alexander is now eager to arrange his personal female secretary to be by my side at any time, Totoro's mood is his barometer, if Totoro and Adelman are at odds one day, the boss of the rocket who puts the interests first will definitely send the old handsome to get out without saying a word, no matter who is right or wrong in this matter.

What's more, now Alexander is discussing the issue of team resale and stadium sponsors with Chinese companies, Chinese companies are here for the sake of Totoro and Da Yao's face, if Alexander wants to make a lot of money, these two uncles must be appeased, at least there can be too much fluctuation in the mood during this period of time, otherwise how can we talk about business?
