161 Complete Conquest
Hearing this, Miller's mouth curled up slightly and said twice: "Correction is a small matter. The rookie's single-game scoring record is 58 points, which was created by Wilt Chamberlain for the Warriors in 1955. 57 points can only be ranked second."
"Kang Muang!" Thomas clapped his hands vigorously, "In that era, all technical statistics were all handwriting, which was earlier than 100 points in a single game. Such comparisons really lacked meaning. In short, I believe that Jamie Lee is the king of rookies' single game scorers."
"Okay, I understand what you mean." Miller rubbed his hands. "57 points in a single game were shocking enough, and he was dedicated to the team's victory. He didn't stand up until the last moment to take over the game, showing his style as a general."
"Yes, he has 16 assists." Thomas looked tangled. "If other Lakers players were in better form tonight, he would even have a chance to break the single-game assist record, but then he might not be able to see him score 57 points."
"I'll give you congratulations and respects again." Miller gave Li Zhe two thumbs up, "I played for 53 minutes and had no rest for a moment. I carried the team forward and was 100% qualified to become the next generation of Lakers helmsman."
…
On the court, Odom and Ate put Li Zhe down from the air, but the excitement had not dissipated. They first slapped a few punches, then slapped their spans, and finally patted their shoulders before they each dispersed for him to be interviewed.
TNT female reporter stood next to him with excitement, raised the microphone and said: "Congratulations to Jamie, she scored 57 points in a single game and completed the final victory, helping the team win 5 consecutive victories, making the Lakers the only team to win the whole season so far!"
"Thank you." Li Zhe exhaled.
The female reporter smiled and said, "Precussion question, how did you do all this?"
"Uh..." Li Zhe paused for a while, put his hands on his hips and shook his head, "Sorry, I want to take a breath first."
"Oh... Of course, please take care of yourself." The female reporter looked around, "Do you need water?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the tnt staff handed over a bottle of water.
Li Zhe received it and had not opened the bottle cap yet. Gary Viti rushed up and shouted, "Don't drink too much at once."
Li Zhe did as he heard this, took three sips slowly, pulled up the jersey and wiped his mouth, and returned the bottle to the staff.
"First of all, I would like to thank those fans who came to support me for their tickets. I am going through difficult times and their arrival gave me great strength to realize my responsibility as a public figure."
"Secondly, I want to thank the coaches and teammates for their trust, who allowed me to handle offense and defense at will."
"In the end, all this is favored by the God of Basketball, and everyone who loves basketball has the opportunity to do it."
The female reporter nodded repeatedly and asked again: "What does it mean to you to get 57 points?"
"It means that I will be on the headlines today and tomorrow, and I will receive a lot of praise, either from the media, from fans or from NBA players like me." Li Zhe shrugged slightly, showing heartache, "But this means little to me. I can't even get a formal apology after racial discrimination, which is far more important than 57 points."
Hearing this, the female reporter became nervous instantly. Obviously, she didn't expect Li Zhe to talk about racism in an interview. She rubbed the microphone back and forth for a while, not knowing how to answer the conversation.
After about five seconds, the female reporter finally reacted and asked: "At the end of the first quarter, you took the initiative to request a timeout, and then you can change to Josh? Powell played as a center and achieved miraculous results to tie the score. Can you briefly talk about your ideas?"
"To be honest, the Rockets performed very well. They performed amazingly on the offensive end, forcing us to change our playing style to deal with it." Li Zhe's eyes rolled quickly. "At that time, I remembered a tactical strategy that Coach Phil once said, so I asked for a pause to make suggestions to him. After thinking about it, he thought it was feasible and finally agreed to try according to that plan."
"Okay, thank you for answering the question." After saying that, the female reporter turned to the camera and said that the interview was over.
Li Zhe also turned around and left, but just after two steps, the female reporter's voice rang out again.
"Hey, please wait."
Li Zhe stopped immediately and asked with his eyes what was wrong.
The female reporter put down the microphone, stroked her hair, pulled her shirt, ran to him in small steps, handed over a notebook and a pen, and said in a low voice with a red face, "Can you write a sentence for me and sign it?"
Li Zhe took the pen and notebook casually, and then asked for specific details about what to write.
"Write a sentence: You can do anything, to Ali Lafos."
After finishing writing, Li Zhe handed the pen and notebook back.
The female reporter said again: "Can you take a photo with you?"
Li Zhe was stunned for a moment and found that there was no camera. He subconsciously asked, "How do you want to take a picture?"
Upon hearing this, the female reporter hurriedly took out a 3gs mobile phone from her pocket, held it high and held it with her back hand.
But the height difference between the two was a bit big, and it was difficult to find a suitable angle. Li Zhe simply squatted and started stance.
After some trouble, the filming was finally completed. Li Zhe stood up straight and smiled and signaled to leave.
Then I thought that the female reporter suddenly opened her arms and hugged her, and Li Zhe was stunned for a moment.
He moved his foot to the sidelines until the female reporter ran away like a flying person.
Seeing that the local Chinese fans who came to support Houston had not left yet, he greeted everyone again.
Vice President of Public Relations Black kept urging next to him, reminding him of press conferences and other matters, but he dragged on it again and again until almost all the photos were over, and then rushed towards the player channel.
…
Back in the locker room, Walton and others expressed their congratulations to Li Zhe again.
Phil mentioned the previous game against the Mavericks, hoping that he would score like Chamberlain. It was just a piece of chicken soup encouragement, but he didn't expect that he could actually do it. Although he was still one point away from breaking the record, he already had the same ability.
Phil also mentioned that he took the initiative to change the lineup, saying that it was his instinct as a historical point guard and was optimistic that he would become a tactical master in the future and even become a legendary coach after retirement.
Li Zhe didn't understand what the routine was about this crazy bragging attitude, but as the saying goes, harmony makes money, he also said a lot of conversation, and the chat atmosphere suddenly turned into business bragging.
Under Black's urging, Li Zhe quickly washed and changed clothes, and rarely attended the post-match press conference with Phil.
After asking several serious and boring questions in succession, a reporter suddenly asked Phil: "In the last five games, Jamie Lee has performed efficiently in every game, which is enough to prove that he is a super point guard, but we know that under the triangular offensive tactical system, super point guards have always been difficult to play. Will you make adjustments specifically for him?"
Hearing this, Black signaled the staff to go up and remove the reporter's microphone.
Koffel smiled and waved his hand: "It's okay, this is not a taboo topic."
“Although this question is not on the question list, I can also answer it.”
"I know, there have been rumors outside that Jamie and I have a bad relationship. I admit that I did underestimate him at the beginning, worried that he would not be the helm of the Lakers' giant ship. But you also know that I have never coached a point guard like him, and I am an elderly person, so it is normal for me to have prejudice and stereotypes."
"In addition, you have a problem with your understanding of the triangular offensive tactics."
"The ultimate concept of triangle offense is to create singles opportunities for players with the ability to hold the ball. In the past, it was Jordan, O'Neal, and Kobe. Now there is one more Jamie Lee. I don't need to adjust my tactics at all. Moreover, the Lakers players are excellent enough to quickly understand any cover, running, passing and cutting. Jamie can organize the offense by himself."
"So, do you think Jamie can be compared with Jordan, O'Neal, and Kobe?" asked the reporter.
