Chapter 216: Press Conference

When Xiao came to the press conference accompanied by Knicks boss James Dolan and president Donny Walsh, the scene immediately sounded like dense lightning.

When a large number of magnesium lights hit so densely, Xiao Shi suddenly couldn't resist it, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to block his eyes. At this time, James Dolan on the side also stretched out his hand very intimately to signal the reporters not to shoot anymore.

The reporters in New York obviously had great respect for Xiao Shi, and they quickly stopped filming, followed by one by one standing up and applauding.

For the people of New York, Xiao Shi is their savior, and they pin all their hopes on Xiao Shi. Because the other Knicks players are so disappointed that they can't lift the slightest hope. Although Xiao Sa was judged by the doctor to be injured, he is a fierce man who scored 66 points in a single game after all, and he is also a rookie, and the most important thing in him is hope.

That's why the people of New York are so excited and so unreservedly welcoming.

Xiao Shi has long experienced the enthusiasm of the New York people, and in fact, before the transfer to the Knicks, there were already Knicks fans who paid their salaries in advance. At that time, Xiao Xiao never imagined that he would one day become a member of the Knicks and take on the hope of reviving the Knicks. And now, it's really happening.

After a round of applause, James Dolan welcomed Xiao Shao's arrival in a heavy tone, and personally presented Xiao Xiao with the No. 24 jersey of the Knicks.

Xiao took the jersey, and another burst of magnesium lights flashed.

After taking pictures, Xiao sat down. He held the microphone. There was a hint of nervousness.

"I prepared a manuscript beforehand. But now I realize that I've almost forgotten jΓ¬. ”

Xiao's first sentence made the scene laugh, and the reporters obviously didn't expect that Xiao's first sentence when he joined the Knicks was actually this.

"But again, I have to say something here. So, it's a big headache. Xiao shook his head and sighed.

After saying this, there was another burst of laughter.

The first impression that Xiao Xiao left on New York reporters was very good, at least humorous, unlike the rigid books of many players, and even less as flamboyant as some players. It's good to be so bland, at least there's no sense of distance.

"Well, I'm going to talk to you about my basketball journey." Xiao Xiao said as he spoke, and his tone became serious: "My basketball journey has actually been exposed by the media, and now there are still many people who say that I am just a rookie who has practiced basketball for less than nine months. Yes, I did only experience basketball training for less than nine months. But this ...... It doesn't seem like it's my shame, but it should be my proud capital, isn't it?? ”

"Yes!!" The reporters below almost unanimously agreed with Xiao Shao's opinion, a guy who has been in basketball for nine months can achieve this goal, which is indeed a proud capital. After all. Some people have been practicing basketball all their lives and have not been able to touch the threshold of the NBA, and it only took Xiao Xiao nine months to become the NBA's most promising superstar. even surpassed Derrick Rose, Westbrook, Michael Beasley, OJ Mayo, and other guys who have been called the pride of the sky by the media since childhood.

Xiao exaggerated the thumbs up to the reporter below, and said with a smile: "Obviously, your perspective on things is strikingly consistent with mine, and we will definitely have a lot of common topics in the future." ”

Chick's humorous words drew good-natured laughter again, and James Dolan watched Chick's interaction with the reporters. He suddenly felt that he could be the press officer of the Knicks with his chic affinity!

He now looks at the chic eyes like a mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, and the more he looks at it, the more satisfied he becomes.

He felt that chic was a treasure given to him by God, which was used to save Nix.

"In March of this year, oh no, it should have been March of last year. Mr. Ranny Kuhn brought me from Northeast China to the United States. At that time, I came to the U.S. to make a lot of money. You have to know that the poorer the young man, the more he likes money, and I'm certainly not an exception. I still calculate how much I should have each morning, and it's more cost-effective to have breakfast...... This shouldn't be a shameful thing! ”

The chic self-deprecation once again made the scene laugh.

And James Dolan on the side couldn't help but interject: "If the league doesn't thoroughly investigate whether we have a table deal, I think I can sponsor all your future breakfasts in a private name!" ”

James Dolan's words made the laughter of the audience a little louder.

It was clearly a cheerful press conference.

Xiao smiled and continued, "Okay, now that the breakfast problem is solved." Then let me continue to talk happily. When I arrived in the United States, Mr. Ranny Kuhn told me that becoming a professional basketball player would give me money that I could never have dreamed of, and I made up my mind to become a professional basketball player. At that time, I couldn't even dribble the ball. So, here I want to tell everyone, dreams still have to be there, what if they come true? ”

Bang Bang Bang!

Xiao Xiao's words drew a round of applause.

"At the time, the first tape that Mr. Ranny showed me was about dribbling. But, as you know, I'm a very rebellious teenager, so how could I watch such a boring video? So, I found a crossover band, which was a collection of breakout grandmasters, including the Knicks' Stephen Marbury. ”

When Stephen Marbury was mentioned, there was a moment of silence. Clearly, Stephen Marbury is a name for the city. Once upon a time, Stephen Marbury was the pride of the city, and was even considered the son of New York. But because he did a series of things that made everyone uncomfortable, and he couldn't carry the hope of the whole city on his shoulders, the whole city now has a very bad opinion of him.

Seeing that there was no reaction at the scene, Xiao Sa quickly accelerated his speed and continued to speak: "Then you also know, I have become a good breakthrough, and almost no one can defend my crossover one-on-one. This actually shows a truth. A person even can't walk. It is also possible that he will learn to run in advance. ”

"After I learned to crossover. I went to UCLA, where I got systematic training. I leaps and bounds, and then... A lot of people persuaded me to participate in the NBA draft. I didn't have any idea about the draft at the time, I just thought, if I get drafted, I'll be a millionaire, I'll be able to go home, build a villa, buy a car, and never worry about it for the rest of my life. ”

"And just like that, I went to training camp. Entered a training camp full of talents. I found that the gap between me and those geniuses wasn't particularly big, and most importantly, I found that I improved more every day than everyone around me. And these were discovered by other scouts and managers. I think that intra-team game was the key to the key. He got me a lot of attention right at once. ”

"With these concerns, I continue to improve. Then, I was drafted by the Clippers with an astonishing pick. Soon, this choice became the biggest joke of the time. Everyone is laughing at the Clippers and laughing at me at the same time! If you go back and look at the original newspapers, I'm sure you've laughed at me too. ”

Hahahaha!!

The chic words made the following a self-deprecating laugh.

Obviously, Xiao Shi was right.

"Actually. I am very well able to understand you. Because in that situation, if any media didn't stand up and satirize the Clippers and the shy. It's just so unprofessional. Moreover, the basketball news in the long grass period is really lackluster, and I can be considered to contribute to the traffic of the media. ”

Bang Bang Bang!

The chic and open-minded attitude made the audience applaud, and it was obvious that this kind of attitude of adults ignoring the lives of villains was liked by the media, and no one wanted to be held on. It's better to smile with a joke, so that everyone is good.

"And when the media was in the middle of the draft, I completed the task of the national team at the Beijing Olympics, and I set the best record in history with the Chinese team, we were the silver medal in the Olympic Games, which even made me a national hero. It's something I'm very proud of, and it's going to last as I get older. What a small person can do for a great country and be proud of his own people!! ”

"After completing my assignment with the national team, I went back to the NBA. At the time, I remember missing the pre-season and then everybody was saying I was so bad that I couldn't even play in the pre-season. I was so angry at the time, I thought to myself, didn't those critics even watch the Olympics? I was so scared of the U.S. team that I couldn't even play in the preseason??? ”

"Then, in the opening game of the regular season, I played a good number and beat the mighty Nuggets. Then I officially entered the regular, and the number I played was getting better and better. But there are some off-court issues that are bothering me, but it doesn't matter to me, because basketball players just need to do a good job in basketball. ”

"I thought I'd end up with the Clippers because all my friends were in Los Angeles and I hated the other NBA team in Los Angeles, so the Clippers were the best place for me to be. But... The unexpected came before planned, and I was traded to New York after the Knicks game. When I was with the Clippers, I gave everything I could to get the win, and I led the team into the top eight, but I was abandoned when I was most injured, and it was a bad feeling. ”

"Now that it's happened, I have to face it head-on. Now that I'm a Knicks player, I've got to fight for my jersey. ”

"And, since everyone else has abandoned me, why don't I do something uncomfortable? I'm not a forgiving person, and whoever hurts me, I will make anyone regret it. ”

Bang Bang Bang!

The reporters below all stood up, and they applauded from the bottom of their hearts.

If Xiao Shi's previous words are full of affinity, then the last two sentences undoubtedly show all the aggressiveness, which is actually equivalent to a declaration of war.

The media likes this kind of highly targeted discourse, which will give them a lot of room to play and make a fuss.

"Well, this is my basketball journey. Now that I'm in New York, I'm going to start my new journey. Next, please advise! Xiao stood up and bowed, ending his speech.

Bang Bang Bang!

The scene resounded with long-lasting applause. As far as first impressions are concerned. Xiao Shi left a good image for New York journalists.

At least after the launch. It's hard for the New York media to be in the dark anymore. Of course. There will definitely be doubts. The duties of journalists themselves are questioning.

After Xiao Xiao's speech, it was finally the reporter's turn to ask questions.

Soon, a reporter stood up and asked Xiao Xiao the first question: "Xiao, just now you introduced your basketball journey, I think although you said it is an understatement, I still think this is a legendary story." And it seems like you're missing a big part, and that's the women off the field. Can you tell me how many girlfriends you've had? Now almost everyone thinks you're a playboy! ”

Xiao Xiao obviously didn't expect that the first question was actually about his girlfriend. It's as if the reporters didn't expect that Xiao Shi's first sentence was to tell everyone that they forgot the words.

This accident only made Xiao Sao a little stunned, and he didn't get into trouble because of it. After adjusting it slightly, he smiled slightly and replied calmly: "I don't have a girlfriend, I only have a fiancΓ©e." For me, falling in love without the premise of marriage is a hooligan!! ”

The chic answer made the scene stunned at first, and then broke out into loud collective applause.

It has to be said that this is a witty answer.

Donnie Walsh on the side couldn't help but be impressed, he didn't expect Xiao Shi to be able to solve such a thorny problem so cleverly.

And James Dolan felt admiration from the bottom of his heart, and his satisfaction with chic Cheng DΓΉ had broken through the sky.

After the applause. Finally, a basketball reporter stood up, and he stood up and asked a very professional question: "Xiao." You've been playing a very traditional half-court offense with the Clippers, and we have a run-and-gun lineup for the Knicks, do you think you'll be able to adapt quickly? Also, how long do you think you'll be able to recover from your injury? Now there have been rumors that there is a good chance that your career will be scrapped. ”

The reporter asked three crucial questions.

Xiao Sao smiled slightly, muttering in his heart, finally someone asked these questions, I'm so hard to wait, I've been preparing for the answer for three or four days!!

Because he already had the answer in his heart, Xiao Sa replied very calmly: "First of all, I have to tell you an accurate news." That is, the injury report that came out of the doctor before was actually a misdiagnosis, and the real answer is...... I didn't tear my ligament, I didn't hurt my bones, just a small sprain, and it's all completely gone. So, I can play the weekend race without reservation! I hope you can come to Madison Garden to see my Knicks home debut!! ”

After Xiao Swan's first question was answered, the scene was completely crazy.

Everyone was shouting, high-fives, celebrating, and some even whistled excitedly.

Looking at the completely chaotic scene below, Xiao Dash was a little stunned, and he could only interrupt his answer by himself, waiting for the excitement below to subside.

At this time, Donnie Walsh, who was sitting next to him, finally understood why the previous boss was so confident, it turned out that ...... The secret of Xiao Xiao is that he was not injured at all!

This is really exciting news. What a potential is for a completely unharmed sleek, the Knicks are really going to take off.

Donnie Walsh was excitedly drawing crosses on his chest, thanking God for allowing Dash to join Dash, and it almost cost nothing. Just two draft picks in exchange for a guy with the potential to become a superstar, and the Knicks' suffering in the past few years is completely worth it.

Yes, with Chic, the Knicks feel that all the unjust money spent in the previous years is worth it.

They no longer complained, because God is just. God made them the unjust leaders of the alliance and opened countless garbage contracts, and finally gave them a future potential superstar that they didn't pay much for at all!

The reporters in the audience went crazy for a while, and finally slowly calmed down.

At this time, Xiao Shi had already continued to answer the unanswered question: "Regarding the question I just mentioned whether we can integrate fast attack tactics, I think... It won't be a problem, I'm pretty fast. But... In my opinion, if we want to be a playoff team, the run-and-gun strategy is clearly not up to the mark. This is not an attack on Mr. D'Antoni, but an expectation for Mr. D'Antoni and I hope that he will come up with more new things and make us a really strong team!! ”

Although Xiao Shi tried his best to explain that he did not mean to target Mr. D'Antoni, the reporters still felt that Xiao Shi was aiming at the run-and-gun tactics.

Xiao Xiao didn't want to explain anything, because he knew that what he said was right. Run-and-shoot is a flashy offensive tactic, but offense can only be strong in the regular season, and in the playoffs, no one will let you run freely, and here you are fighting for defense. If the defensive ability is insufficient, elimination is the most direct dialogue.

For Xiao Shi, since he came to the Knicks, then he thought of the best.

Although the Knicks are still at the bottom of the East, he still dreams of the playoffs and even the Finals.

The reporters were in an uproar at the chic remarks, and Donnie Walsh and James Dolan on the stage looked at each other, but nodded approvingly.

They invited D'Antoni to come, in fact, they wanted to bring the Knicks out of the quagmire immediately, and get rid of the troubles of the Isaiah Thomas era as much as possible. Because D'Antoni's run-and-gun tactics are indeed the easiest and quickest tactics in the league, but this tactic also has a natural limitation, that is, it can't go longer and farther.

Before, the Knicks had no choice but to ask D'Antoni.

And now that they have the scorch, they have to think long-term and think long-term. Therefore, in fact, they already have the idea of changing the commander in their hearts.

After all, they also want the Knicks to be a real powerhouse.

Then, the reporters asked some other questions, but they didn't cause any more shocking points, after all, the most exciting thing had been ignited by Xiao Shi himself.

That is, Xiao Xiao did not tear the ligament at all, and he would be resurrected in an immediate state full of blood.

For Knicks fans, there's no news that thrills and makes them happier than this one.
