Chapter 301 - Post-Game Interview
Although Li Yao scored a high score of 48 points in this game, the Clippers finally lost to the hot Mavericks 97-101.
And Li Yao also lost the best player of the game, and this honor was lost by the team's top scorer Dirk. Nowitzki got it.
Nowitzki also scored a high 39 points and grabbed 12 rebounds.
As the current captain of the Clippers, coupled with the first loss at home, Li Yao led all the members of the Clippers to the middle of the court to bow and apologize to the fans around him.
Although the Clippers lost the game today, their fighting spirit was also appreciated by the fans at the scene, so when the fans saw that under the leadership of Li Yao, the Clippers would bow to them and apologize, and they also sent encouraging applause to this group of players for the first time.
After that, Li Yao led the generals back to the locker room.
After a short break, a group of reporters also poured into the Clippers' locker room to interview the Clippers' generals.
"Lee, what do you have to say about today's loss?" A reporter held a microphone in his hand and handed it to Li Yao and asked.
"The Mavericks are a strong team, and it's normal for us to lose to them, but it's not like we don't have a chance to win games, so we need to work harder in the future and try not to let that opportunity go." After pondering for a while, Li Yao answered the reporter's question in a rather official tone.
"Lee, don't be so official! Say what you want to say. An old acquaintance of Li Yao suddenly spoke.
"Poof, you guys are trying to hurt me!" Li Yao also discovered this old acquaintance, this old man who has been following him around since the NCAA, especially during the Heat period, the relationship between them has also reached a very familiar point, so this old acquaintance will joke with Li Yao like this.
"Just tell me, we won't report the next paragraph, right?" Seeing that Li Yao's side was loose, this reporter also went up the pole and continued to instigate the reporters around him.
"Yes, Lee, don't worry, we promise that we won't report what you say next." A group of reporters also echoed the voice.
"If I had believed your promises, I would have been a younger brother." Li Yao will not believe the assurances of these reporters at all, you must know that they are people who eat by digging up news.
"Poof, Lee, just say a few words." A group of reporters were also amused by Li Yao's words.
"Well, in fact, if you can't win against the Mavericks, I'm actually more uncomfortable personally, after all, we have a good chance to win our own four consecutive wins, it's a pity!" Li Yao said with some regret.
"Clams? Gone? That's it? A group of reporters looked at Li Yao with a confused expression.
"yes, no, what else do you want to hear? Do you want me to tear up and snot and tell how sad I am to lose the game? Brother, this is the NBA, 82 games a season, even Michael can't guarantee a season to win, our Clippers can win the first three games in the West is already very good. Li Yao's words also said what he really thought in his heart, although he was still a little sad that the team was not able to win four consecutive victories, but it did not mean that Li Yao did not have a little pressure in his heart.
The current strength of the Clippers team to win three consecutive victories before is somewhat unexpected by Li Yao, who is also more content and will not get carried away.
"So excuse me, Lee, you were in the first quarter with Jason. Terry seems to have a conflict, can you tell us more about it? When the reporters heard Li Yao's words, they also felt that what Li Yao said was very reasonable, so they didn't dwell on this topic more, but asked Li Yao about the conflict on the field today.
"Actually, it's not a conflict, you know that I'm a person who likes to pretend to be forced." Li Yao couldn't help but pause here.
The reporters around couldn't help but laugh when they heard Li Yao say this, it turned out that this Li Yao was still very self-aware.
"Maybe I'm pretending to be a little too much today, let Jason. Terry couldn't look at it, so he came over and reasoned with me, as for the conflict or something, don't exaggerate, we just exchanged a few words, you don't see that the referee didn't give a penalty, after all, some quarrels on the field are not a big deal. Li Yao said leisurely.
"Lee, are you hinting at the referee's unfair decision?" At this moment, a reporter suddenly spoke.
His words immediately focused the eyes of everyone present on him.
Looking at the onlookers around him, the reporter couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, and this feeling made him wonder where he had said something wrong.
"Brother, seeing that you are also a fresh face, I won't say anything this time, if this happens again next time, please don't come to interview me in the media." Li Yao stared at the reporter for a long time before he slowly spoke.
Although Li Yao was a little dissatisfied, he also knew that this was a job, and there was no need to beat him to death with a stick.
"Lee, you're going to have to tell me what's wrong." Originally, the reporter wanted to shout, but he found that his peers around him were looking at him with idiotic eyes, and finally swallowed the words that had already reached his mouth.
"Brother, I guess it's the first time you're interviewing me, you ask these peers around you, why did I, Li Yao, hint at you after the game?" Li Yao shook his head and explained to the reporter.
"Like, does Lee need a post-game cue? If there is a conflict, you think it's Jason. Terry's small body can be compared with Andrew. How does Bogut compare? Even the Australian was knocked out by Lee with a punch, Lee, you see I'm right. The reporter who knew Li Yao said directly.
"Get out! Are you praising me or hurting me? Am I such a violent person? Li Yao was also amused by this guy's "explanation", so why did he involve Andrew again. Bogut too.
"Aren't you?" In response to Li Yao, there were boos.
"Okay, you guys won, can't I go?" After Li Yao finished speaking, he stood up directly and walked towards the dressing room.
The reporters surrounding Li Yao did not stop Li Yao's departure, and the report they needed was almost there, after all, the winner of tonight's game was the Mavericks, and the large amount of the report was of course reserved for the winner, which was also a respect for the winner.
After finishing the interview with the reporters, Li Yao directly picked up his luggage and went to the parking lot, planning to go home and make out with his youngest son and the two daughters in the family.
"Lee, wait a minute." Just as Li Yao was walking in the aisle to the parking lot, a shout stopped Li Yao's footsteps.
"Wow! Sir Charles, Kenny, how did you two find me? Li Yao asked with some curiosity, according to this time, shouldn't these two gold medal commentators also return to the hotel to rest?
"Lee, we have something to ask you." Kenny. Smith said unceremoniously.
"What's the matter? You're not going to be as curious about me and Jason as those reporters are about to play today. Terry's so-called conflict, right? Li Yao said a little speechlessly.
"Although we weren't on the spot, we can guess a rough idea, you kid did a good job, you already have the demeanor of a superstar, but it's still a little bit behind me." Barkley said with a smug face.
"Come on, Sir Charles, are you embarrassed to say that? Who is it? In the palace of Auburn Hills, Ranbir is about to become a national treasure of our country, the giant panda? And that grappling with the big shark? You explain it to me? Li Yao said with a disdainful face, although Barkley's dominance in the arena is undoubted, but from Barkley's mouth, he said that his calmness is the demeanor of a superstar and even compares with himself, which makes Li Yao unbearable.
"Poof, Sir Charles, don't be ashamed, can you compare to Lee, the Australian boxing champion who knocked out the Australian with one punch?" Kenny. Of course, Smith will not let go of this good opportunity, and took the opportunity to mock Barkley well.
"When was I chased and beaten? I'm always chasing after others to fight well or not. "Buckley heard Kenny. Smith's taunt exploded like a cat with its tail stepped on.
"Alright, Sir Charles, let's not talk about that for now, Lee, although I understand what you have in control of yourself, but, Jason. Why did this guy Terry give up so easily? "Kenny. Smith asked curiously.
He and Barkley both knew that the reason why Li Yao would control himself was out of leading by example for the team, otherwise if Li Yao made a move, I believe that these young people of the Clippers team would also follow suit, after all, they are all young men, and they are full of fire, if they really make a move, the scene will definitely be difficult to control, and it will even far exceed the Auburn Hills Palace incident.
"Poof, I'm sorry, I can't help it when I think about it." Li Yao heard Kenny. Smith's inquiry, I couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Lee, what's going on?" Barkley and Kenny. Smith was also aroused by Li Yao's laughter, and couldn't wait to ask.
"Actually, it's nothing, I'm just right with Jason. Terry said: If you want to do it, think about the consequences of that Australian on the Bucks first, and then decide whether to do it or not. Li Yao shrugged his shoulders and said leisurely.
"Poof, Lee, you're so bad, I can imagine Jason right now. Terry's heart was tangled when he heard your words. After hearing Li Yao's explanation, Barkley directly covered his stomach and laughed.
And Kenny on the side. Smith couldn't help but laugh out loud.
