Chapter 16 The reporter who provoked trouble
As it turns out, Boozer is really not a good deal now!
Yao Ming dunked him during the game, but when he interviewed reporters after the game, there was no problem related to him.
There are even fewer issues related to the Cavaliers team.
The questions everyone asked were all related to Barkley.
Yao Ming's video of Barkley doing punishment was broadcast between the Rockets and the Cavaliers. Now everyone knows that Yao Ming watched Barkley kiss the donkey's butt with his own eyes.
"This is a very interesting picture. Unfortunately, I only learned about this later. If I had known it for a long time, I would have directly scored 19 points in that game against the Clippers, so Charles would not have to worry about it for so long."
Yao Ming complained a few times, and his words made the reporters on the scene laugh.
After this topic, another reporter asked: "Yao, you have already won 20 plus 10 data in two consecutive games. In the next game, you will face Jermaine O'Neal. Do you think you can still get 20 plus 10 data in front of him?"
The Rockets' next game is still away, and they will head to Indiana to challenge the Pacers.
When the reporter said "Jermaine O'Neal", Yao Ming frowned slightly. With his current situation, one of the opponents he least wants to meet is O'Neal Jr.
"Do your best..."
This guy is destined to be a difficult opponent.
Unexpectedly, the challenge will come so soon!
Afterwards, Yao Ming expressed his satisfaction with Kevin Cato in front of the reporter: "This guy is the best partner, there is no doubt that although it is only the second game, I can feel that I have a tacit understanding with him, and our cooperation on the court is always just right."
The away interview venue prepared by the Cavaliers for the Rockets is not very large.
When Yao Ming praised Kevin Cato, the latter was not far away from him. He could hear Yao Ming's praise clearly.
After a while of silence, he also said to the camera: "Yao is an incredible newcomer. I think he will succeed in this league!"
This was said suddenly, which made the reporter who interviewed him stunned: Did I just ask a question about Yao? I didn’t ask!
Yao Ming naturally also heard Kevin Cato's praise for him. This was the first time he heard Kevin Cato praise him in public, and he also subconsciously glanced at the latter.
Kevin Cato seemed to notice his gaze, turned around and looked at him, expressionless, as if he had said nothing just now.
Ah~ It turns out he is a stingy man!
Yao Ming can also be regarded as understanding Kevin Cato's personality.
Of course, the most important thing is that Yao Ming can feel that Kevin Cato is no longer so hostile to his acceptance.
This is good news.
But soon he received bad news.
The next morning, when he sat in the hotel restaurant, enjoying breakfast, and opened the sports section of the Indianapolis Star, he almost squirted out a mouthful of pure milk:
"The new No. 1 pick makes a bold statement: I will try my best to win 20 plus 10 data against Jermaine O'Neal!"
What the hell is this...?
When did I say this?
Am I not talking about doing my best?
I mean, try to play the game well against O'Neal!
Damn, why did you write this meaning for me?
These reporters are really not a big deal to watch the fun!
Yao Ming also realized that reporters these days seem to be so urinary, using ambiguity to create contradictions and focus, thus gaining attention.
However, as the Internet became more and more developed, people's channels for obtaining information became faster and faster, and such writing methods gradually became less useful than journalists.
Yao Ming had just returned for a few days and was focused on adapting to the team and himself. He forgot about this, was careless and did not flick, and found a chance for these reporters to dig holes.
Now, this game will be even harder tomorrow!
...
The Indiana Pacers have been joining the NBA for quite some years, but the real rise of this team after entering the NBA is still a matter of choosing Reggie Miller. In the late 1990s, Reggie Miller and his Pacers were "God of Basketball" Michael Jordan would also feel tricky.
Unfortunately, Michael Jordan's existence suppressed people of an era, including the Pacers.
However, the Pacers, suppressed by the Bulls, adjusted very timely. They only took 2 to 3 seasons to complete the team reconstruction, especially last season when Jaylen Rose, Travis Best and a second-round draft pick from the Chicago Bulls to Brad Miller, Ron Artest, Kevin O'Lei and Ron Mother, forming a duo with Jermaine O'Neal and Ron Artest as the core. The team has become the new strongman in the East. So far this season, it is ranked second in the East, with 5 wins and 1 loss, and the momentum is so strong.
Isaiah Thomas also began to make his mark in the head coaching industry by coaching the Pacers.
Of course, it's only the beginning of the season. If he wants to really get a lot of praise, he has to keep the current momentum of this team going forward.
How to continue the momentum of a team, do you need to say more? Just win...
In the next game against the Rockets, because the opponent is in good momentum, he has won three consecutive victories so far. In order to continue to win, in today's team training, he was more serious and serious than usual on the sidelines.
Otherwise, when people just started a new job, they were the most passionate? If Thomas, who had been the general manager of the Knicks for several years, might have started to touch the butt of the female subordinate, and how could they care whether the team won or not?
After halfway through training, Artest suddenly turned his head and looked at O'Neal Jr. with a smirk on his face: "I heard that the Rockets selected the No. 1 pick this year said they would get 20 plus 10 on your head? This kid is crazy enough!"
"That depends on whether he has the ability!"
O'Neal Jr. He saw similar reports in the morning and was already angry. When the game started, he must teach the newcomer a lesson.
Now that I heard Artest's sarcastic tone, I was even more angry!
"Soon, he knew how big the gap between him and the top inside the NBA!"
Artest looked at his gritting teeth and felt a little relieved: You should know who this team is now?
In Artest's opinion, Yao Ming's courage to provoke Jermaine O'Neal means that the latter's strength is not enough to convince the public, otherwise why no one would provoke him?
Sure enough, I have to be the boss of this team!
