94 Prepare for the Clippers
Returning from Magic Johnson's house, Wen Hao went straight to the hotel where the team was staying. As soon as he got out of the car, several reporters surrounded him.
"Do you really think you have what it takes to challenge CP3?" A reporter asked.
"What do you think are the odds of winning if you go head-to-head with Paul?"
"Do you think you can defend against Paul? Will you still have that many assists in front of him? ”
……
One question after another, all of them are aimed at Wen Hao's sentence "I think I have the ability to challenge Paul" last night. In Los Angeles, Paul is to the Clippers what Kobe Bryant is to the Lakers. Wen Hao's words last night have undoubtedly caused dissatisfaction among Clippers fans, no, it should be all fans and expert authorities. A player who has just turned from a short-term contract is clamoring to single out Paul, what are you kidding?
These reporters are also from the Los Angeles media, and while they are not necessarily fans of the Clippers, they are at least advocates of Los Angeles. At this point, when they asked these questions, their expressions were not very friendly.
Seeing this, the public relations said to those reporters: "I'm sorry, there is a game tonight, and Wen has to go back to prepare for the game." As he spoke, he was about to pull Wen Hao inside.
Wen Hao smiled indifferently at this time, and said to the public relations: "It's not in the way, just answer a few questions." ”
Seeing this, the public relations shook his head helplessly, and had to say in Wen Hao's ear: "Don't forget what you learned during the training." ”
Every player, regardless of how well or badly the ball is played, has to participate in training to answer questions from reporters at the beginning of entering the NBA. The league will tell them what to say and what not to say, so that these players will not go out and talk nonsense in the future, which will harm the league and their own interests.
Wen Hao nodded to the public, turned around, looked at the cameras around him and the microphone handed to his mouth, and felt great satisfaction. He enjoyed the feeling of the stars holding the moon.
He told the Los Angeles media: "History is going to move forward, and everything is going to progress." I admit that Paul was strong, but one day he will be replaced by someone else, so why can't I be that person? ”
"...... Uproar"
As soon as Wen Hao's words came out, the reporters around him exploded. These statements are even more challenging than last night, and they make it clear that he is going to challenge Paul.
In a rental house in Houston, Yu Song saw Wen Hao's answer and shook his head anxiously.
Wen Hao's answer is extremely unfavorable to his own image, which will definitely do more harm than good to his future career or endorsement. As Wen Hao's agent and friend, Yu Song was surprised: Wen Hao was not like this before, low-key has always been synonymous with him, why did it suddenly become so ...... Arrogant?
Not only those reporters and Yu Song, but in the United States, Wen Hao's answer immediately caused an uproar.
"A newcomer wants to challenge Paul?"
"Is he crazy? Does he have a comparable surname to CP3? I don't see it. ”
"This Chinese is too arrogant, arrogant to the point of ignorance and stupidity."
……
Fans and pundits alike said the same.
Wen Hao saw so many comments on the Internet, and he smiled with satisfaction. He wants everyone to pay attention to themselves, and the more they pay attention to themselves, the more people will know about their outstanding performance. Tonight, you're just waiting for your eyes to be opened.
McHale was constantly scratching something on a piece of paper in his room, frowning and shaking his head from time to time, and then continued to scratch.
At this time, there was a knock on the door, and Da Yao walked in. (From this chapter onwards, replace No. 11 with Da Yao, so it should be comfortable to look at.) )
"Oh, you, what's the matter?"
McHale is still very gentle with Da Yao, in fact, in his heart he recognizes this Chinese very much, because this Chinese has his own shadow back then: perseverance, can do anything for victory, even if he breaks a leg.
Da Yao sat down on the sofa, thought for a while, and said to McHale: "Coach, you should know about Wen Hao's interview, right?" ”
"Hmm." McHale seemed to sigh, "His words must be very exciting for the Clippers, especially for Paul, they will definitely give 200 percent of their strength to fight with us in the game, and we have to be prepared to deal with it." ”
"That'...... Will he still be played? Da Yao asked.
"Well, let's see when we play. If he plays, Paul will definitely pour all his firepower at him, and his defense is a huge hole, so I guess it's going to be hard to get him on tonight. ”
"Oh," Da Yao paused, seemed to think for a moment, and continued, "Coach, do you think he has what it takes to challenge Paul?" ”
"Hehe......" McHale laughed and shook his head, "you can't even see this, do you?" That's why I won't let him play. ”
"I think it's because of that that that it's all the more important to let him play." Da Yao said slowly while thinking.
"Oh?" McHale raised his head and looked at Da Yao, and after a moment, he suddenly understood, "You mean ......"
"That's right, that's why we should have put him on the pitch."
……
At ten o'clock that night, the game between the Rockets and Clippers will be played at the Staples Center.
When Wen Hao saw the magician statue at the entrance of the Staples Center, he secretly clenched his fists: Magician, watch my performance tonight, I will definitely not disappoint you.
Before the game even officially started, the stadium was already full, which is very rare in any regular season game. Normally, at the beginning of the game, many fans have not yet arrived, and there will be a lot of empty seats. But today is different, fans want to see how the Chinese kid who can only talk big was abused by Paul.
The Clippers' sideline commentator was gray-haired, bearded, bespectacled veteran commentator Ralph Lawler. The other is tall and skinny Mike Smith, who briefly played for the Clippers.
Lawler pushed his glasses and began to say: "Clippers vs. Rockets, originally the focus of this game was Griffin vs. Warcraft, as for other positions, there was nothing to watch. But that Chinese one sentence made him the biggest attraction of the game......"
"Or maybe it's a joke," Smith said with a laugh, "he thinks he can challenge CP3, do you believe it?" I don't believe it anyway. ”
Lawler continued: "Although this Chinese has played quite well in the previous games, I admit it. But to say that he can challenge CP3 is a big joke. CP3 is the undisputed No. 1 point guard in the league today, and his status is unassailable, at least now and for the next five years. And that Chinese, a marginal player who has just turned from a short contract, boasted so much, which really makes people admire his courage. ”
"Are you praising him or scolding him?"
"What do you think?"
"Hahahaha......"
At this, the two commentators laughed in unison.
