Chapter 370: Parker's comeback
"Yang!"
After the game, he walked to the locker room, and Li Yang, one of the most eye-catching Spurs players in the game, was stopped by an ESPN reporter on the sidelines. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Li Yang scored 22 points and 14 assists in this game, and this statistic was obtained without playing most of the game in the fourth quarter, of course, Li Yang was not the highest scoring player in the Spurs, and the highest score for the Spurs today was Danny Green, who threw in 9 three-pointers and scored 27 points.
All of Green's scoring is a catch-and-shoot three-pointer, which is also an important reason why Li Yang was able to get high assists in this game. On the contrary, Li Yang's scoring all comes from inside kills and free throws.
And the first question asked by the reporter is about this question.
"Young, we've noticed that all of your points are coming from inside the three-point line and from the free throws, and almost all of them come from within the three-second zone, is that because of the reporters after the last game?"
Li Yang knew in his heart that this was actually one of the reasons, but he didn't say it in his mouth, paranoia or fighting back this kind of thing, it always relied on actions rather than on his mouth, even if it was by mouth, there was no need for him to answer so bluntly, such as at this time.
"What did they say?"
Li Yang's direct rhetorical question made the corners of the mouths of the major media reporters who were listening intently to the interview and preparing for the post-game report twitch slightly, and the ESPN female reporter who was interviewing was also slightly stunned, she didn't know if Li Yang really didn't read the post-game reports, or didn't take these reports to heart, but it was obvious that she realized that there was no point in dwelling on this issue.
It's the home of the Spurs, and there's no one to play against here, and they've all learned from Popovich how to deal with reporters with great teasing.
"I mean, the way you scored today, why did you choose to keep hitting the inside?"
"Oh!" Li Yang suddenly realized at this time: "This is our tactical arrangement, just like you should notice that Danny threw in 9 three-pointers tonight, Pop made such an arrangement before the game, and we executed it well." ”
"There were a lot of voices before the game that LeBron's defense would make your breakthrough very uncomfortable, but we can see that this game is not like this, can you explain that?" the female reporter continued to ask.
"The outside line is what makes all of this, and when my teammates can find opportunities on the outside, I can get the space to break through. Li Yang replied almost without thinking, but as soon as he said this, he was immediately interrupted by a female reporter from ESPN and asked, "Even if it's LeBron defense?"
"When the opponent's interior line isn't full, I can find opportunities to rush inside, LeBron is great defensively, but I'm good at doing things like that. ”
"Wow!" After hearing Li Yang's answer, the reporters at the scene were excited, Li Yang said that this sentence was enough, what they were waiting for was Li Yang's answer.
Although Li Yang didn't say it explicitly, the implication was very clear, although James's defense was very good, he couldn't stop me yet, because I was very good at doing such things.
These reporters realized that they had something to cover after the game.
Li Yang knew that there was an obvious trap in the female reporter's question at this time, and Li Yang could have answered in a more roundabout way, after all, the interview between the two was not a post-game press conference, but was still broadcast live in the United States.
However, because of this, Li Yang really didn't want to go around the bend, but directly chose to answer positively. This is the same as Li Yang's previous reply to what those reporters reported, he just wanted to tell those who were crooked before the game that you are all wrong.
As for whether this will anger James or his fans, Li Yang, who is on the opposite side, does not need to consider the thoughts of an opponent. As for the fans, those who support him will agree with his answer, and those who don't support him will not choose to support Li Yang because Li Yang's answer is more tactful.
Li Yang is indeed very good at making breakthroughs, which fans also know, and probably only those reporters like to drill into words to pick these things.
The ESPN female reporter wanted to continue to ask questions, but Li Yang ignored it, raised her feet and prepared to leave, and the female reporter did not dwell too much, after all, the interview on the sidelines is usually only two or three questions.
The second game is over, but this kind of end is a little incomprehensible outside, the first game can be the Heat win the Spurs by 17 points, and in turn, the second game can be the Spurs win the Heat by 23 points, how do they predict such a game.
Anyone who knows the ball can see that one of the reasons why the outcome of the two games is very big depends on the three points, which team shoots the three points better, which team can get the initiative on the court and win.
It's just that both the Spurs and the Heat's three-point shooting are very good, and as for the feel, who can predict it?
Therefore, these media reporters simply did not predict, and they put the focus of the report on other places, such as Li Yang's report before the game, and they analyzed and interpreted it in depth.
Sometimes, you have to admit that those reporters seem to be able to read minds, and they always do something to report people's inner words "truthfully", such reports are based on the original words of the players or coaches, but when people carefully compare them, they find that such reports are often 108,000 miles away from the original words.
Li Yang has already revealed a little ignorance of James' defense during the interview, so it can be imagined after these reporters interpret it.
Of course, the Spurs are not bothering with the media's over-interpretation at the moment, they are concerned about another thing that the media is also concerned about right now, Parker's comeback.
After the first two games of the Finals, Parker finally ushered in the time to return, after the Western Conference Finals injury, Parker's break was more than half a month, and now, after further examination by Will Severn, plus Parker's physical condition, it is confirmed that Parker will usher in a comeback in Game 3.
To the outside world, the Spurs did not announce the news, but Parker's injury situation cannot be hidden from those powerful reporters, so at this moment, the news of Parker's return in the third game is widely circulated in the media.
Although the Heat still entered the Finals after seven games with the Thunder without Parker, and defeated the Heat in the second game, Parker's role for the Spurs is clear to everyone, and this season, Parker is the Spurs' leading scorer.
When the Spurs' top scorer and assister return, what will happen to the Spurs, and what kind of performance will Li Yang, who has been very good in the previous games, will perform, this is a question that everyone is concerned about.
