The final whistle sounded, and Tang Wenlong stood up from the bench with some loss.

Spotlights rolled overhead across the court, flowers and streamers fluttered, and the Thunder players in white jerseys were cheered on by the fans in the stadium, and the cheers of the victors.

Although he was used to losing, this feeling still made Tang Wenlong's heart panic, and it wasn't until he silently walked into the dark players' tunnel that his heart felt a little better.

"Look at the point, this is the NBA." Nocioni chased after Tang Wenlong, hooked Tang Wenlong's neck, looked at Tang Wenlong with eyes that saw through people's hearts, and comforted him softly.

Tang Wenlong shook his head and said with a wry smile: "But it's still very unhappy, obviously it has survived to the end." ”

"What is it, you know, sometimes we even play one, two, even three overtime before we lose the game, and that's the most painful," Nocioni said. ”

Tang Wenlong had a sad expression on his face, and he thought it was true, if he really played a few overtimes and lost, he didn't dare to imagine such a scene.

Nocioni teased: "But it's okay, you are like you as a rookie in this game, you can actually score 45 points, it's just against the sky, don't say that we were killed by Kevin Durant in this game, tomorrow's message report will definitely be your such a highlight performance!" ”

"Really?" Tang Wenlong was incredulous and asked, "Kevin Durant also scored 39 points, and he also made a mid-range shot at the last critical moment." ”

"Phew," Nocioni patted Tang Wenlong's head and scolded with a smile: "You really compare yourself with other All-Stars, it's a common thing for people to score 39 points, news, of course, you have to find bright spots to report, and when you average more than 30 points per game one day, you will naturally not be greatly reported if you score more than 40 points." ”

Tang Wenlong suddenly realized that his feelings turned out to be more bright spots to be found.

The two chatted and then pushed the door into the visiting locker room at Ford Center.

"Wait a while and have a couple of drinks at a nightclub, and then there's another day off!" Louis Williams, who was fully dressed, walked over and asked Tang Wenlong with a smile.

Tang Wenlong hurriedly shook his head and waved his hand to refuse, "No, no, no, I won't go, I'm going back to sleep." ”

Ha~ Williams's expression suddenly became obscene, seeing Tang Wenlong's appearance like avoiding snakes and scorpions, he suddenly felt very funny, approached Tang Wenlong and asked with a smile: "Tang, don't you think crookedly, just go to a nightclub to drink, relax, it's not a big deal." ”

"Don't say it, Don is not even over 20 years old, and he can only have Coke when he goes to a nightclub." Nocioni laughed.

Williams was scared, "yes, I forgot about it, you're only 19 years old!" ”

Tang Wenlong's face darkened, "Luis, it seems that you are not a few years older than me, okay?" ”

Louis Williams said: "Hey, I heard that you have a lot of female fans now, you played so well in this game, it is estimated that the number of fans will explode." ”

Tang Wenlong grabbed the long-sleeved pullover jacket, drilled his head, and drilled out of the collar, hearing Louis say this, his eyebrows raised, and he asked rhetorically: "And then?" ”

"Then you know!" Louis showed an expression that you know and I know, which made Tang Wenlong speechless.

But Nocioni also came to dismantle Tang Wenlong's platform: "Hehe, Luis, do you think Tang is a man like you?" People are very innocent, and they haven't even held a girl's hand! ”

"Fart, hands are still held!" Tang Wenlong can't listen to it anymore, these guys who are not serious always like to chat about these topics.

Thaddeus Young also came over, looked Tang Wenlong up and down, and said suspiciously: "Tang, shouldn't you still be a virgin?" ”

"Fart, how is that possible?" Tang Wenlong hurriedly denied it with a weak heart.

Everyone burst into laughter, leaning forward and backward one by one, lying on their positions, and even Holiday Ward, who had always been at odds with Tang Wenlong, also had a smile on his face.

Tang Wenlong's face suddenly turned red, and he felt hot, he was really about to lose face and throw home.

"Let's go, go to the nightclub and relax, we played so hard today, right?" Louis Williams grabbed Tang Wenlong's arm and looked like he was going to drag him away.

"Okay, okay, don't drag me down." Tang Wenlong waved his hand to admit defeat, "I will go myself." ”

"yes, it's just a nightclub, what's the big deal." Nocioni was very able to grasp Tang Wenlong's heart, and immediately said what Tang Wenlong just wanted to say to be bold.

After everyone had finished showering and cleaning up, the door to the locker room was pushed open by a hand in a black suit.

Head coach Doug Collins showed his head, he glanced at Tang Wenlong and Iguodala who were surrounded by the crowd, and beckoned to the two: "Don, Andre, you two and I come over and go to the press conference." ”

"Press conference?" Tang Wenlong was overjoyed, as if he had caught the holy decree, he turned around and avoided everyone's clutches, and hid behind Corinth.

"Andre, watch that kid later, don't let that kid slip away!" Louis stared at Tang Wenlong, who ran away, and said to Iguodala, who was also about to walk over.

"Don't worry, he will never be able to escape!" Iguodala laughed.

Then Collins took the lead, Tang Wenlong and Iguodala followed Collins, and there were some photographers with cameras and reporters hanging different media signs, and from time to time some reporters took out their SLRs and took pictures of Tang Wenlong and Iguodala walking side by side.

The press conference hall at the Ford Center Arena was quite large, and when I walked in, it was already dark and full of media.

As soon as he saw the tall Tang Wenlong walk in, everyone's eyes stared at him in unison, and the eagerness in his eyes was obvious.

After a brief sitting, the official staff presided over the press conference.

"First question." The staff member is a blonde woman in a black work suit, who looks particularly capable and speaks very clearly.

The audience was in an uproar, and all of them raised their hands.

Iguodala and head coach Collins glanced at each other and secretly sweated for Tang Wenlong.

The reporter of the "Oklahoma Chronicle" was hit first, and the male reporter with black-rimmed glasses took the microphone excitedly, and then he lifted his glasses and asked: "I want to ask Tang Wenlong, you scored a career-high 45 points in this game, and this is only your 14th game in the NBA, what do you think about this?" ”

This is a decent question, Tang Wenlong thought for a while, and then organized the language to say: "As you said, I got a high score, and this is only the beginning of my career. But in the face of victory, everything is cloudy, and although I got high scores, for me, the team's victory is more important. ”

Collins nodded, he suddenly remembered that during the draft conference, Tang Wenlong had made a super speech, and this post-game press conference would not be difficult for him.

Then the Fox Sports Oklahoma reporter asked the second question, "Before that, the highest single-game scoring record for Chinese in the NBA was Yao Ming's game against the Hawks on February 23, 04, and Yao Ming scored 41 points in that game, so do you feel that you have now surpassed your predecessors?" ”

This question is a bit sharp and a little insidious, Tang Wenlong almost blurted out yes, but when the words came to his mouth, he suddenly felt a little wrong, and after thinking about it again, he suddenly understood the truth, so he slowly answered.

"I don't think I've surpassed Yao Ming, high scoring has a lot of chance, and stability is the standard to measure whether a player is qualified, Yao Ming's achievements after entering the NBA are obvious to all, it is he who has made countless Chinese fans and even Asian fans fall in love with the NBA, fall in love with the sport of basketball, he has brought people to think far more than the sport itself, if Jordan let the world fans know the NBA, then Yao Ming made all Chinese fans fall in love with the NBA, compared with him, I'm just a rookie in the league. ”

This modest remark avoids the truth, Tang Wenlong generously admits that he is indeed inferior to his predecessors in terms of achievements, and he can't talk about surpassing or not surpassing.

The reporters applauded one after another, feeling that Tang Wenlong's words just now were very bright, and when he said this, Yao Ming seemed to be a bit remarkable, and he felt that his achievements in basketball publicity should not be underestimated.

Tang Wenlong said and said, he was interested, except for the first few questions, the reporters' questions became more and more complicated and biased, such as blending in entertainment reporters like asking Tang Wenlong if he had any plans to shoot a movie, and Tang Wenlong did not refuse, his brain turned quickly to answer the reporters' questions, quite a feeling of tongue war.

It wasn't until the officials couldn't take it anymore that they stopped the reporters from asking Tang Wenlong endless questions, and then let two of the media outlets symbolically ask Iguodala and Collins.

What's wrong is that the questions of the two media are "what kind of experience is it to be teammates with Tang Wenlong" and "how to evaluate your disciples." ”

The official staff rolled their eyes, raised their hands to see that the time was almost up, and then ended the press conference.

At this time, it was already half past twelve in the morning, and as soon as Tang Wenlong wanted to slip away, a black palm slapped on his shoulder, firmly imprisoning him in place.

"Don, what about the nightclub?"

Tang Wenlong: ""
