After the reporters finished taking pictures, Li Yang finally sat down, Rao is so, he still took a short time to adapt to really see the front clearly. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"It's a dirt bun now. Li Yang turned his head and found that Popovich and Parker were all right, and said with self-deprecation in his heart.

Unlike many NBA players who come to this platform from geniuses from all corners of the world, Li Yang never lived in the spotlight in his previous life, and although the former owner of this body was also very famous in his freshman year of high school, he experienced some situations surrounded by reporters, but it is too far away from now, so at this time he is equivalent to the first experience, although it is not timid, but it is still somewhat uncomfortable.

However, Li Yang, who has been a man in two lives, is strong in his heart after all, so it is only a short period of discomfort and he will be fine immediately.

Although Li Yang had a good performance in this game and was attending a press conference for the first time, reporters were not going to immediately focus on him, and after the three of them sat down, they first asked Popovich questions.

"Coach Greg, is there any further judgment on Manu Ginobili's injury and will he be able to play in the first round of the playoffs?"

This reporter's question is undoubtedly one of the most concerned questions by the reporters on the spot, and it is also one of the most concerned by the majority of fans, so the first reporter who was given the opportunity to ask the question immediately asked this question.

"Manu's injury hasn't changed much, and his availability in the first round of the playoffs depends on the final judgment of our team doctors. Popovich's sentence was very official, which also disappointed the reporters at the scene, but his next sentence made the reporters at the scene light up again.

"Of course, it also depends on us and our opponents' performances. ”

"Do you mean that if the opponent's quality and performance are average, Manu may not play in the playoffs?" the reporter asked anxiously after Popovich's words fell.

"That's what you said. Popovich pointed to the reporter, "I mean, the performance of both sides will determine the timing of the first round and whether Manu will appear in the first round." ”

Immediately afterward, Popovich said: "I hope you don't ask questions about the playoffs again, because the regular season is still half a month away, and the playoffs are too far away." ”

The reporter obviously won't accept Popovich's reason, there is only half a month left, how can a team like the Spurs, which has already locked up the playoffs, not pay attention to the playoffs.

A reporter wanted to stand up and ask Popovich why the Spurs started the rotation early when the playoffs were too far away, but thinking that this question would definitely not be answered in the affirmative from Popovich's words, the reporter wisely chose not to waste this opportunity to ask questions.

"Coach Greg, okay, let's talk about the regular season, you're still in the first place in the West, but the Oklahoma City Thunder are very close to you, in the last half a month, will you go all out to ensure that you are ranked first in the West?"

"The Thunder are doing really well, they're challenging us for the No. 1 spot in the West, which puts us under a lot of pressure and now that we're half a month before the end of the regular season, it's hard to know who is going to be No. 1 in the West. ”

Popovich replied, which made the reporter feel helpless, Popovich replied with a long sentence, which sounded very good, but he did not answer his question at all, knowing that Popovich was very good at dealing with reporters' questions, and the reporter had no choice but to curse in desperation: "Old fox." ”

Li Yang sat on the side, listening to Popovich answering the reporters' questions one by one, and watched him push away the reporters' tricky or straightforward questions one by one like playing Tai Chi, and muttered in his heart.

That's a science!

"Coach Greg, in preparation for the playoffs, you've started to rotate the players, so next game against the Thunder, Tim, oh no, will anyone rest the main rotation players on the team?"

Regardless of the Western Conference standings of both sides, the game against the Thunder at the end of the regular season is a key game for the Spurs, because the Thunder are obviously the biggest opponent of the Spurs in the playoffs this season, and last season, the Spurs were eliminated by the Thunder in the Western Conference finals.

"First of all, I have to correct you that our players are not resting because the playoffs are coming, but because they are too tired and unwell. ”

Popovich said very seriously, don't say that the reporter doesn't believe it, even Li Yang won't believe it. Of course, worrying about players being too tired is certainly one thing, but if it weren't for the playoffs to save energy and avoid injuries, why should Popovich worry about player fatigue.

However, Popovich clearly doesn't pay attention to whether people believe it or not, and he continued: "So in the next game, if there are players who feel tired or unwell, we still have the possibility to put them off instead of playing?"

Hearing this, the reporters were obviously skeptical, and the reporter continued to ask questions on this issue, but Popovich put on a posture that the question had already been answered and should not be asked again, so the reporter had no choice but to do it.

The reporters asked Popovich questions and Parker, but Li Yang did not ask questions for the time being, and just when Li Yang thought that the press conference should be done with soy sauce, a reporter finally asked a question about Li Yang, but he asked Popovich a question.

"Coach Greg, Young had a fantastic performance tonight, he scored 25 points, how would you rate his performance in this game. ”

Finally heard a question about himself, Li Yang was naturally very curious about how Popovich would answer, but the first sentence that Popovich uttered made Li Yang almost overturn the microphone in front of him, why does this old man always take the unusual path?

"I think he's playing too selfishly. ”

"Selfish?" The reporter who asked the question was obviously surprised, and asked again.

"Yes, he threw the ball into the basket even in the face of multiple people from the opposing side. He took 11 shots, which is too many, and if he could pass the two or three balls he missed to his teammates, it would have been more perfect. ”

After hearing Popovich finish speaking, Li Yang realized that the emotional old man was praising his good hit rate, and he also praised his impact by the way, but he couldn't just point it?

Popovich was obviously not used to being direct, and he went so far as to continue: "So I brought him here and told him through you how selfish he was in this game. ”

The reporter also knew at this time, where is this criticism of Li Yang's selfishness, it is clearly a calf protector, and told the reporter, I have already criticized what should be criticized, don't look for blame.

As soon as the reporter saw that Popovich couldn't ask anything, he immediately turned to Li Yang and asked: "Yang, the coach criticized you for taking too many shots and playing too selfishly in this game, do you have anything to explain? Will this affect your enthusiasm in the game?"

The reporter was thinking that Li Yang was a rookie, and he may not have heard the meaning of Popovich's words, so he wanted to give Li Yang a set, but Li Yang, who has gradually adapted to the Spurs style, will obviously not easily get into this set.

"I think the coach was right to criticize. Li Yang's tone was very low, and he seemed to be very serious.

"Before the game, the coach told me that I had to play better on the defensive end as a substitute for Kohuai, and on the offensive end I had to pay attention to the attacking opportunities and the timing of the shots, but I obviously didn't do it, I had a few reluctant shots, which was not a very good choice. ”

The reporter just wanted to continue talking, but Li Yang immediately said, "Although the ball went in in the end." ”

This sentence swallowed back what the reporter originally wanted to say, and at this time he understood that Li Yang was ridiculing himself.

Is this the style all in the Spurs? Even a rookie knows how to flirt with reporters?
