In fact, at the beginning of the fourth quarter, Popovich turned off the TV because he knew that the game was out of suspense, and that the Clippers had already played chemistry under Xiao Xiao's leadership, and while they still didn't look like a serious offensive system, the heat of a few muskets was completely burning. As for the Magic, they have collapsed, their offense has collapsed, their defense has collapsed, and the balance of victory has lost its suspense.

After turning off the TV, Popovich did not get up, he just leaned back on the couch with a question in his head.

Do you want to poach Xiao Shi into the team at any cost?

It was the first time Popovich had hesitated since he met Xiao.

Because Shaw's watch in the third quarter broke through his glasses, he felt that Shaw could reach a higher status than he expected, and even thought that Shaw could put a new label on the shooting guard position.

"If he gets to the Spurs, what can I give him? Stabilize the environment, stabilize the tactical position, and then become a first-class star and complete a perfect career? Popovich shook his head.

The picture of Xiao Shi on the pitch commanding the players and attacking the city made him think more.

He began to feel that if he threw his scars into a terrible environment like the Clippers and let him reach his full potential and talent, once he matured, he found the right way to play. So...... This guy really has the potential to create a zào miracle.

He's so unusual, he's so unusual.

This guy's technical style, tactical philosophy and leadership qualities all have the potential to be a great player.

And Popovich isn't sure that if he can make a great star by bringing him to the Spurs and tying him down to his own system. Maybe. He can win the Finals MVP. But the status may be at the level of Manuginobili or Tony Parker.

Popovich was puzzled.

Although as a coach of the Spurs. His mission is to make the Spurs a perfect team.

However, he wanted to see the limit of chicness there.

And the extended curvature of this limit is obviously something that San Antonio cannot give, after all, San Antonio is a strong team, a strong team with a system.

"Well, let's look at it again. Perhaps, I can wait. By the time he is fully mature, maybe Tim Duncan will be old too. When the time comes, I still have a chance to get him.

Half ringing. Popovich made such a decision anyway.

In the beginning, he saw Xiao as the best complement to the Spurs' system, and that's how role players look at it. Then, with Xiao Sa's performance in the national team, he began to feel that Xiao Sa could do a better job than Manuginobili. And after two games in the regular season, he felt that Xiao Po was the same player as Tim Duncan, and he could become the cornerstone of the team.

And now, he actually thinks that Xiao Xiao has the hope of becoming a player like Tim Duncan.

If Popovich were to look back at his own journey, he would be surprised. I think it's incredible.

When Popovich's mood changed, Xiao also returned to the locker room. By this time, the Clippers' locker room had been plunged into a sea of joy. Almost every player was celebrating the win. After all, it was the Eastern powerhouse like the Magic that was defeated.

Although Ricky Davis, Chris Carman and others are still a little embarrassed to do intimate things like high-fives and chest bumps with Xiao Sa, they have actually enshrined Xiao Sa as a leader in their hearts. Because Dash was able to lead them to victory, this game has proven that, and when Dash is on the pitch, they have the bottom of their hearts. Most importantly, chic can help them improve their numbers.

As a professional footballer, who can help you improve your numbers, that is not stingy with rebirth parents.

Watching the players celebrate, Xiao Xiao couldn't help but make a bold statement.

He walked to the center of the locker room, and the chaos around him immediately stopped. Everyone was looking at Xiao Sa, and at this time Xiao Sa had already established his prestige.

And this prestige is played on the court, so it is extremely strong.

"Tonight's victory proves that we are not a shipwreck. I looked at our numbers and almost every player scored in double figures, and the assists were excellent. What does this mean? This shows that we are not a bunch of bad players, we are not a piece of loose sand, and we can also stick together to form a strong fist. This fist will immediately sue the entire league, and whoever dares to despise us will wait to be beaten! ”

Xiao Sa's words are sonorous and powerful, and fully affirm everyone's role.

couldn't help but make the players applaud, as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.

"I don't think there's anything to sum up about the game because we won. From now on, I hope we can play every night like we did tonight, win, we're crazy together. If I lose, I'll carry it alone!! ”

Xiao slapped his chest twice, and he revealed all the responsibilities that a leader should have.

This kind of heroism convinced the players, and in fact there was no third person in the team who could stand up and say that he was responsible for the failure. Because the only one of them, Byron Davis, will not stop Shaw from establishing new authority within the team at all, and he treats Shaw like a big brother taking care of a little brother. If others seize power like this, he will definitely suppress it comprehensively, but Xiao Shi will do this, he won't, he will only stand aside with a smile and applaud Xiao Shao's growth.

If the first nineteen years of Xiao Shi's life were bumpy, then since he arrived in the United States, he has been smooth sailing, and there are many nobles to help, even if there are twists and turns, they will be quickly resolved.

It's like this time, the head coach and the team's veteran players ostracized, but he still reversed the situation and became the talker.

Looking at the chic and proud to become the new leader of the locker room, McDonleavy is undoubtedly the loneliest. He has already made it clear that his path as head coach is over and he does not want to be left isolated in the dressing room.

If you become the king and lose, since you are defeated, then take the initiative to step down. Retain the throne of the general manager. There is also a chance to make a comeback.

So. He was after the game. I texted Sterling. In a text message, he praised his leadership and assistant coaching, and he resigned, citing health reasons.

Of course, this resignation is the resignation of the head coach, not the resignation of the more powerful general manager.

McDonleavy retreated, apparently unaware.

He didn't even think about isolating the manager.

However, Dunleavy, as a veteran of the alliance, has seen too many of such situations. Most managers step down because of a feud with the team's signature star or dressing room leader. Therefore, he will take precautions for suppression, which has not yet grown, but only shows the slump of the signs of liberalization, but the result is not satisfactory. The rookie Xiao actually reversed the tables, constantly smashed this suppression and the isolation of the players, and seized the opportunity to become the leader of the locker room in one fell swoop.

A moment later, the league's press officer came and invited Dunleavy to join Xiao for the post-match press conference.

The two hurriedly walked together.

It's just that they didn't speak. Xiao Xiao tried to say a few words to Dunleavy, but Dunleavy's face remained stiff, obviously in a bad mood.

Seeing this, Xiao Fashion has no choice but to give up.

Soon, they walked to the press conference, and then the two sides sat down.

Then. The media reporters below have already clicked and filmed.

Then, I quickly entered the question session.

The first reporter stood up. He is from the media in Orlando, so his question is very sharp: "Xiao, you have consciously played Contney Lee in this game, is there any misunderstanding between you?" ”

When Xiao Sa heard this strongly targeted question, Xiao Sa did not panic, but showed a smiling face, and said very gracefully: "Obviously, there is no misunderstanding between us." ”

"However, at that time, you deliberately made a negative move when you were defending, which was very provocative. On the offensive end, you gave up at least three more chances until you knocked Contney Lee down. With such an unusual appearance, it's hard to believe that you don't have malicious intent. The reporter pointed out Xiao Shi's malicious intent directly and sharply, and laid out many facts.

In an instant, the difficulty of this question was raised by several notches.

This made the atmosphere of the scene a little stiff.

McDonleavy, who was sitting next to Xiao Sa, did not come out in the slightest to relieve Xiao Sao, on the contrary, he was still interested, he just liked to watch Xiao Sao's deflated picture.

At this time, Xiao Shi laughed out loud.

His hearty smile baffled the reporters in the audience, and at the same time baffled McDonleavy...... What is this trying to do? Is a neurotic laugh your answer?

"I think there's obviously a discrepancy between what the audience sees and what the players see. Maybe a certain part of the audience will think that my actions are malicious, but in fact it is the joy of the game, and I have presented a visual feast for the fans and spectators with Contney Lee, and I believe that if you can put aside all the subjective positions and look at this defense and this attack, you will find it interesting and dramatic. ”

The chic answer was undoubtedly clever, and this was the wisdom he learned from Zhuangzi.

In the face of the reporter's criticism, his answer is actually the famous paradox, Zifei fish knows the joy of fish?

That is, to tell the reporter bluntly, you are not Contney Lee, how do you know that I am malicious? At the same time, he also implicitly criticized reporters for taking a standpoint on this matter, which is not objective enough and undermines the principle of independence and objectivity of the news media.

The answer is watertight and very gentle.

This left the reporter at a loss as to how to proceed. Although he knew that Xiao Xiao was malicious, his behavior was aimed at Contney Lee.

"But it's obviously going to be uncomfortable for Magic fans." The reporter made his last push back, and he didn't mention the word malice again, because he knew that Xiao Shao could also use malice to refute his question.

"Haha." Xiao Xiao still smiled heartily, and then officially replied: "The reason why people can feel comfortable is because of the secretion of dopamine." I think I created this offense and defense to get the crowd excited, and the excitement accelerates the adrenaline and dopamine production. So, my original intention is to make people feel happy and comfortable. I can only apologize for making Magic fans uncomfortable, and I hope they can watch more of my other games so that they can feel the excitement from the court from a third-party perspective. Let them speed up the secretion of dopamine. Let their discomfort turn into comfort. ”

The chic answer is still high-sounding. And from his theory, it is impeccable.

In his answer, he didn't see the Magic fans as enemies, but emphasized that he was playing for the service of more third-party fans. At the same time, he also invited Magic fans to watch his other games as a third party to remedy their discomfort.

Perfect!

The reporters on the field couldn't help but secretly praise, they have interviewed many stars, some are impulsive and straightforward, and some are smart and kind. But I've never seen this one. Not only can he properly deal with the reporter's criticism, but he can also explain his own behavior in a self-contained manner. Although everyone knows that his actions are full of malice, after his explanation, they will feel that he is lofty.

Talent!!

The reporters sighed from the bottom of their hearts.

And the reporter who criticized Xiao Shi could only sit down in vain, because he really couldn't find a place to speak.

At this time, McDonleavy couldn't help but be secretly frightened, and he realized how terrible this rookie was. This guy's IQ is too high, no wonder he can become the leader of the locker room so quickly, and all the IQs of the black players in the locker room are not up to his level when multiplied by three, right??

And at this time, the second reporter also stood up.

"Mr. Chick. In your game tonight, everyone thinks your style of play is very cunning. And insidious. You actually made three fouls on Dwight in the same position, do you think you are a scheming conspirator? ”

The second reporter is still from Orlando, and he's still full of malice.

And apparently came prepared.

This question made Dunleavy next to him also prick up his ears, because he also felt that Xiao Xiao was a conspirator, and he quietly completed the control of the Clippers' locker room. He really wants to get Xiao Sa's answer, and he wants to see how Xiao Shi defends himself.

"Haha." Xiao Shi still started with laughter, his laughter was very hearty, and it sounded quite sincere. "You don't use any positive words, but I don't think you have any ill intentions. After all, we haven't played on the pitch. It's like the 'everybody' you were talking about, they never played with me. So, my view is that this label is one-sided, and at the same time it has not been carefully examined. However, as a public figure, I am receptive to this interpretation. After all, there are a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand people, and I can't be perfect in everyone's minds. ”

The chic answer is a bit like making mud, but there is no doubt that this treatment is the most correct.

"You haven't answered my question yet? Do you think you're a scheming conspirator? The reporter clearly didn't like the sloppy and muddy answers, and he asked them again with great pertinence.

Xiao Sa was questioned continuously, and he finally stopped laughing, but straightened his face, and said very strictly: "According to the obviously offensive insulting words you used, I can actually sue you." Although the United States is very particular about freedom of speech, it will still be punished by law for using such bad words! ”

Xiao Sa's words were extremely strict, which immediately stunned the reporters below, they didn't expect Xiao Sa to be so well versed in American law.

The reporter was even more trembling, he didn't expect that his question would be punished by the law, let alone that Xiao Shao would use the law as a weapon.

And at this moment, Xiao Sa had already smiled, and instantly released all the tense atmosphere: "However, I won't do this." Because I'm not a scheming conspirator! ”

As soon as Xiao Shao's words came out, the reporters below were stunned for a moment, and then applauded.

And the reporter, who was already extremely nervous, also breathed a long sigh of relief.

Immediately, he sat down embarrassedly, and he realized that he had been tricked by Xiao at this time.

However, Xiao Wan did make the best defense for himself with practical actions.

In this sense, he is indeed not a scheming conspirator.

But, judging from his behavior, isn't his behavior exactly the act of a conspirator?

"It's too cunning, this guy has too much IQ!" McDonleavy on the side was secretly surprised and extremely shocked. It turned out that he felt that he had been sidelined because he had made a bad decision at half-time, and now it dawned on him. Whether or not he made the wrong decision, this guy will be able to control the entire locker room, it's just a matter of time. This guy's IQ is just crushing against those black players.

McDonleavy came to his senses.

The reporters below also came to their senses, and they knew that chic was not a fuel-efficient lamp.

As a result, the following questions became smoother. And Xiao Chuan is also a variety of humor, making the atmosphere of the press conference like a cross talk conference, with bursts of laughter.

Soon, this unique press conference ended.

The whole process was chatting, and all the questions were concentrated on Xiaoshi. McDonleavy sat with him for the whole time.

Although he was very uncomfortable, he couldn't help it, who let the reporter's eyes be robbed of him.

Xiao Dash is this kind of person, no matter how low-key he is, but as soon as he appears there, he immediately becomes the center of attention, the center of the crowd.

After the press conference, Xiao Shi returned to the locker room, then got on the team bus and rushed to the airport overnight to Boston.

And at this time, the discussion about chic has not stopped in Orlando.

Because after Xiao left, Dwight Howard and Stan Van Gundy walked into the scene of the press conference.
