Chapter 59: Post-Game Interview
Kupchak, the general manager of the Lakers who supervised the battle at the Oracle Arena, also played a set of air punches after seeing the team's victory, which was too comfortable, and the owner of the Lakers' two-game losing team was very happy, but he was not happy at all.
Speaking after the race, Kupchak said: "I feel very lucky to be able to witness such a wonderful game live! Every one of our players played to their fair share and this is the victory they deserve! Especially Ray, whose appearance completely changed the Lakers, and we are all very glad to have Ray this year! ”
"His energy is something that other players in the same class don't have, and he doesn't play like a rookie at all! Tonight he once again proved his worth to the fans all over the world! We firmly believe that Lei Lei is the most powerful contender for this year's best rookie! ”
Kupchak is very satisfied with Lei Lei's performance tonight, especially satisfied!
Warriors head coach Kerr also told reporters: "It's unfortunate that we didn't continue our winning streak at home, and we're ashamed of all the fans who came to watch the game today!" ”
'It was our first defeat of the new season and we saw our shortcomings at home and try not to make the same mistake again!'
Then the reporter turned to Kerr and asked, "Excuse me, do you have anything to say about the performance of the Los Angeles Lakers in tonight's game?" ”
Kerr sighed when he heard it, the time will come, and replied helplessly: "The Lakers played their style tonight, especially the Asian rookie, he made our team's defense almost paralyzed all over the court, like a decoration in front of him, and no player can limit his scoring tonight!" Not a single player! ”
Another reporter asked: "Excuse me, everyone knows that you and Jordan have achieved three consecutive championships, and the whole world is saying that Lei Lei is the player who is most like Michael Jordan, do you have any opinion?" ”
Kerr thought for a while and said: "Well, in fact, when Michael came today, I thought he was coming to see the Warriors game, but after seeing him cheering for Lei Lei's goal, I knew that he came to see this Asian teenager, and they all said that he was like Michael, and I think he was an upgraded version of Jordan!" Everyone knows that in our era, three-point scoring methods were rarely used, and everyone rarely shot three-pointers, but in the current league, three-point shooting has gradually become the mainstream, and the Lakers' No. 23 is called Ray? Yes, Ray is too similar to Michael in other aspects, and in terms of three points, Ray is better than rookie Michael! ”
"Ray can't be said to be like Michael, he is Michael who is five centimeters tall, as long as Ray is not lazy in training, and has the desire to win and diligence like Jordan, his achievements will not be low! His talent is too good! Not at all like an Asian player! ”
Obviously, Kerr has a high opinion of Lei Lei, after all, Kerr is familiar with Michael Jordan.
Subsequently, Curry, the core player of the Warriors, also gave an interview to reporters.
"It's a shame we didn't get a win at home, we were beaten by the Lakers, and before this game started, no one could have imagined that the Lakers could beat us, but that's basketball, there's no underdog in the NBA, and again, that's life."
"I don't think losing is a bad thing, maybe for us Warriors, we need to find our shortcomings, and losing is the best way to find our shortcomings!"
Lei Lei, as the best player of the game, also attended the press conference after the game.
"I've said it many times that our goal this season is to make the playoffs and win a championship, so tonight's win is actually a normal thing for me because I think the Lakers can beat the Warriors!"
The result of this game also shocked the basketball world, and reporters from major media also reported on this game.
"It was a great game! Although I am a fan of the Warriors, I have to say that the Lakers have been really strong this season! ”
"I thought Ray was talking empty words, but after this game, I firmly believe that Lei Lei is fully capable of leading the Lakers to the playoffs!"
"It was supposed to be a game without any suspense, but it turned out to be an eye-blowing blow to all the fans."
"The Lakers are now ranked sixth in the West, and as long as the Lakers maintain this momentum, it will be a matter of time before they enter the playoffs!"
"Kobe Bryant can still make the playoffs in the last year of his career, and maybe he can win the sixth championship of his career!"
After this game, basically all fans who watch the NBA are talking about this game, and the same is true at home across the ocean.
Even the entry that Lei Lei led the Lakers to defeat the Warriors was on the hot search, and he has always been in the first place.
This is enough to show how huge the influence of this game is, and it also reflects how great Lei Lei's appeal is in China!
The results of Lei Lei's game have made many domestic manufacturers see hope, and they have frequently contacted Lei Lei's agent in China, wanting Lei Lei to endorse his products, and even a bunch of domestic variety shows are in Lei Lei's schedule, hoping that Lei Lei can be used as a flying guest on the last show!
After the Lakers' Kupchak press conference, the mobile phone rang non-stop, all of them were investors from China, and even many other Asian investors, all because of Lei Lei!
Bill Duffy was also in a hurry, he didn't expect Lei Lei to win this game, and he still won 50 points! Although there are also many rookies who scored 50 points or even higher in the rookie season, Lei Lei's commercial value is too high, and the endorsements are really endless, so it can be said that he is lying down and counting money.
Of course, after this game, the Lakers have a few days to recuperate, after challenging the Portland Trail Blazers away, playing the Pacers at home, and then starting the Devil's road trip, 8 consecutive away games in December! 12 days, 8 games!
Lei Lei's heart was cold when he returned to Los Angeles to see the game in December, this is really going to fly in the sky every day, can this body withstand it?
My 19th birthday is also going to be in a different place, and I can't celebrate my birthday in Los Angeles.
Before the road trip began, the Lakers took revenge on the Trail Blazers.
110:108
The victory over the Portland Trail Blazers led Lei Lei to a blood.
Then return to the home court and wait for the Indiana Pacers to come and challenge the next day!
Lei Lei also wants to meet Paul George, one of Lei Lei's favorite players!
In the Eastern hard steel James's players, Lei Lei likes them very much, these Eastern players are overwhelmed by James, Toronto's 'garbage brothers', Indiana's 'General Joe', Chicago's 'Roses', and the unlucky 'Horford', these players haven't won much in the Eastern Conference playoffs!
Especially Toronto's 'garbage brothers'!
