At the end of the game, the players on both sides shook hands after the game.

Xu Yong met Ayers, who didn't get a chance to play tonight, and the two made an appointment to have coffee together later.

It was at this time that he found out that James had already left.

It seems that the beam of the two of them is a bit big tonight.

But he didn't care too much, after all, he came to the NBA to compete for honor and improve his strength, and he didn't come here to make friends.

And James only made him feel tasteless by doing this, and he didn't want to have anything to do with the other party.

As soon as the handshake was over, Xu Yong saw Jordan walking towards him.

And with him came the gaze of a group of people around him.

Even if Jordan retires, his influence is unparalleled.

Especially in the United States, his influence is undoubtedly the first person in sports history.

Yes, not limited to basketball.

If you had to vote for the best athlete in the country, he would be the number one in history.

Xu Yong didn't know what Jordan was going to do when he came over, after all, the two had a bad quarrel in the training hall last time.

But when he got closer, Jordan was already smiling and opening his hands to him.

Seeing this, Xu Yong didn't refute Jordan's face, and went up to hug Jordan.

After all, AJ, whom he is now endorsing, is inextricably linked to Jordan.

"Well done, keep up the good work." After the hug, Jordan said some words of affirmation and encouragement to him.

Xu Yong also replied politely.

Naturally, this scene was also captured by the media.

Jordan encourages fans who once beat North Carolina?

This title sounds very UC.

Jordan didn't say much either, and soon left with someone.

Xu Yong could somewhat guess at this time that Jordan's actions just now were most likely related to his endorsement of AJ.

After all, judging from the last experience, Jordan has very little energy.

It can't be that he changed his attitude just because he won once?

How can the god of basketball be a shake M!

……

The Cavaliers' locker room.

When the rest of the team returned to the locker room, they found that James had already taken a shower.

And James was there getting dressed while humming a song.

O'Neill was stunned.

Because he has worked with Kobe and Wade, he will subconsciously compare James with them.

If it was Kobe Bryant tonight, he would definitely be practicing in the arena at this time.

If it had been Wade, he might have taken someone to the Bulls' locker room.

But how did James manage to act like a nobody and seem to be in a good mood?

"Shaq, going out for a walk tonight? I've heard that Chicago's nightclubs are very good. Seeing O'Neill looking at him, James even asked.

O'Neill shook his head, although he was more optimistic and playful, he really couldn't go out and party on the night after being killed.

"Don't worry, Shaq, it's just a regular season!" After being rejected by O'Neill, James went on to write lightly.

His words quickly caught the attention of others in the locker room.

"We're just underwhelming, so if we do it again tonight, do you think they've won us?" James asked.

O'Neill was stunned.

At this moment, he didn't know how to describe his feelings.

Although what James said was actually true.

The Bulls won tonight by Xu Yong, and they didn't really pay much attention to Xu Yong.

Although you are a top star, but in the end you are just a rookie, and a rookie can influence the game? You really think it's Jordan!

Then, Xu Yong scored 25 points.

This is the consequence of underestimating the enemy.

If the two teams play another game on the spot, they pay more attention to Xu Yong and target more, and the Bulls basically have no chance.

But that's true, but it's not the Bulls who force you to underestimate the enemy!

And if you lose, you lose, and it feels like being beaten down in public, and then saying that you were just careless and didn't flash?

However, the veteran players of the Cavaliers all laughed one after another after hearing what James said.

The atmosphere in the Cavaliers' locker room seemed to have become cheerful at this moment.

It's like finding a reason to lose, the burden in my heart is gone, and it doesn't matter if I lose.

O'Neal, who has been playing in the league for almost twenty years, widened his eyes at this time, and now he also pulled his ass with a knife and opened his eyes.

……

After receiving an interview with Zhang Weiping on the sidelines, Xu Yong, along with Rose, was taken by De Nagro to the team's post-match press conference.

When they arrived, it was already full of reporters, and even some people at the door wanted to enter but were stopped there.

Such a focus battle, coupled with an upset after the game, reporters don't sharpen their heads and squeeze in.

When they sat down after they entered, the reporters below raised their hands in unison.

"Xu, Ling scored 25 points in his career debut and led the team to defeat the Cavaliers, how do you evaluate your performance?" The first reporter named asked Xu Yong a question.

Other reporters also looked at Xu Yong in unison.

There is no doubt that Xu Yong is the focus of the conversation tonight.

"I don't think 'I' led the team." However, Xu Yong's first words made everyone feel surprised.

Even Rose and De Nagro turned their heads.

"It was Coach De Nagro who laid out the targeted tactics, it was Derrick who was in charge of the team's main attack, it was Joaquin who did his best in the penalty area, and it was Lore who was in charge of LeBron...... And I just did what I had to do. ”

After Xu Yong's words were finished, the reporters in the audience were surprised and nodded involuntarily.

They don't know if Seo is really part of such a team or pretending to be like this, but one thing is for sure, the young rookie is not complacent after making such a beautiful debut, which is already a very good quality.

"How did you know in the last minute that LeBron was going to choose to pass?" The next reporter to ask questions is still Xu Yong.

The reporter at the scene who asked this question also burst into laughter.

James has been playing in the league for six years, and it's nothing new to love passing the ball when it matters most.

"LeBron is a selfless player." Xu Yong opened his mouth and said that he did not pull himself to the same level as the other party because James was not good.

'So I chose to block his pass, and at that time Anthony Parker was completely open and that was the most likely pass. Xu Yong paused as he spoke, "But more importantly, I believe that my teammates can protect the penalty area." ”

This time, the reporters looked at Xu Yong with more affirmation than just now.

Every sentence is mentioned, unless there is obsessive-compulsive disorder, anyone can hear that Xu Yong is a real team player.

And if you really look at the statistics, although Xu Yong scored a game-high 25 points, he ranked second to Rose in the number of shots, and he also handed out 4 assists in the limited touch time.

These beginnings may not be noticeable, but they are the best proof of this.

"Do you think it was luck to win tonight? The Cavaliers don't seem to be paying attention to you, and they're taking you lightly. Another reporter asked Xu Yong.

Xu Yong frowned slightly when he heard this.

To say that he actually watched a lot of NBA interview clips before he was reborn, such as "ask Durant why his name is KD", "ask O'Neal if you will help suck the venom out if the venom bites your mother's chest with a venomous snake" and so on.

But when he saw that the other party was from ESPN, he instantly understood.

"Luck will help you score a goal, but it won't help you get stuck with your opponent all night." Xu Yong shook his head directly.

"But the Cavaliers are stronger than you, and if they play again, they have a better chance of winning." The journalist continued.

"We won." Xu Yong reminded.

"I mean, if it's a playoff round and four out of seven, the Cavaliers have a better chance of winning if you guys go along." The journalist continued.

"No, I believe we can still win." Xu Yong replied very simply.

This answer also made the reporter finally stop asking questions.

It was clear that he had gotten the answers he wanted.

Teamwork, maturity, and confidence.

It was also after this question that the group of reporters in the audience had an initial but very comprehensive impression of Xu Yong, a newcomer.

……

After the press conference and walked out of the venue, Xu Yong saw Ayres who was already waiting at the door.

After saying hello to Rose, he immediately went out for coffee with Ayres.

Although the two have only seen each other for two months, they live in different cities and have just joined the alliance, so they always have a lot to talk about.

In particular, the city where the two of them are located is so special, one is in the capital of the gangs, and the other goes to the legendary "Ke Village".

"Do you remember Detroit when we played the finals? It's a smaller Detroit. Ayres couldn't help but complain when he met.

"So exaggerated?" Xu Yong had never been to Cleveland, and he had only heard that it was a small city.

"A declining industrial city with a small population, and staying there for a long time will really miss the days in Tempe." Ailes continued to complain.

Xu Yong smiled bitterly when he heard this, it seems that Cleveland is really worse than the rumors.

"And ......," Ayers said, lowering his voice, "the Cavaliers are really depressed. ”

"Repressed?" Xu Yong was puzzled.

"You know when you were in the Devils, we could say whatever we wanted, but there, you were cautious about what you said and did, and you were afraid that you would say something wrong." Ayres described.

"It's normal, Jeff, the NBA is a business league, it's not the same as the NCAA, you have to get used to that." Xu Yongkai said.

"No, I know the difference, but it's different there, it's more like ...... than the team, I don't know how to describe it, but even Shaq has to pay attention to the look in LeBron's eyes when he speaks." Ayers seems to have finally found the right adjective.

"Knight...... Kingdom? Xu Yong subconsciously thought of a word.

"Yes! That's the word! You know, in that kind of small city, but with probably one of the most historically gifted players, he really has a position like a king in the team, and he seems to enjoy being a king as well. Ayers said bitterly.

Xu Yong was stunned when he heard this, he really couldn't imagine the kind of scene that Ailes depicted, but he couldn't help but feel sorry for Ailes, not only did he go to that kind of place, but he didn't have a chance to play, and it was really an unfortunate thing for him to be selected by the knights.
