Chapter 53 One of the most bizarre injuries in history
Attending a post-game press conference for the first time, Wang Tiejun was quite happy and a little excited. Although he was very tired, he was full of energy and talked with Barkley about how to deal with reporters.
Arriving at the Suns press conference hall, there were dozens of media reporters, as well as a dozen photographers and assistants at the front.
At the front was a long table. Wang Tiejun followed head coach Paul Westphal and Barkley and sat down.
To be honest, facing this kind of situation for the first time, he was more or less nervous, and the smile on his face turned into a dry smile.
The host was Miss Molly from the Suns Public Relations Department, announcing the start of the press conference.
The first time she turned over the card, she gave it to Phoenix Sports reporter and Suns team reporter Hammer Larry.
Larry took the microphone handed over by the staff and immediately said: "Mr. Coach, the Suns are currently ranked third in the Western Conference, two and one win behind the SuperSonics and Mosaic. Do you think the Suns have a chance to be first in the Western Conference?"
location?"
Paul Westphal said helplessly: "I'm very sorry, I'm afraid I have to announce some bad news..."
The reporters below were startled, and after a commotion, they all stared at Paul Westphal above.
Paul Westphal sighed secretly and said: "Just now, Kevin Johnson and Barkley fell together in the locker room. Barkley was fine, but Kevin's left shoulder was dislocated."
"oh!"
The reporters exclaimed in surprise.
"The extent of the injury is yet to be determined. Whether surgery is required and how long the truce will be will be undetermined," Paul Westphal said.
Hammers Larry said with regret: "Looking at it this way, Kevin's injury can be called one of the most bizarre injuries in the history of the league."
Paul Westphal nodded with a wry smile, not in the mood to talk any more.
Next, the second New York Times reporter, Robert Longel, took over the microphone, stared at Wang Tiejun above and sneered: "Old K, it is said that you were sentenced to one year in prison on criminal charges in China.
Nian, can you tell me about that incident?"
The last thing Wang Tiejun wanted to mention was this matter. What he wanted to do most now was to kill this bastard below.
"Old K, handle it calmly and don't be fooled." Paul Westphal next to him reminded.
He nodded, stared at the bastard below and said: "It was one night. I was doing physical training on a night run. When I passed by a small woods, I heard a woman calling for help, so I entered the woods and fought with a few bad guys.
, I injured them, but the woman who called for help ran away and never appeared again, and I was sentenced to one year in prison for fighting and wounding. This is what happened."
"oh!"
The reporters below were very surprised. When Wang Tiejun said this, it was not a simple case of fighting and wounding.
"This is your excuse. You made up a woman..." Longger said coldly.
Wang Tiejun roared angrily: "You are talking nonsense, I was wronged. I tell you, I have spent a large sum of money to advertise missing persons in China. I want to find her, and I will eventually find her to prove my identity."
It’s innocent, no matter how much it costs, I don’t care.”
At this time, the host, Miss Molly, quickly sent someone over to take away Longgren’s microphone and stopped his question.
Long Geer sneered, his goal had been achieved.
However, he felt a little pity for Wang Tiejun's behavior of spending money to find someone. It would be nice if those colorful banknotes were given to him.
The third reporter who was slapped was a reporter from Phoenix TV. He was not interested in asking about being imprisoned. According to surveys, 1 in 37 adults in the United States has had the experience of being imprisoned.
What's jail? Just treat it as a vacation.
The target of his question was Barkley, asking: "Charles, Kevin Johnson is injured, have you adjusted your goals for this season?"
When Barkley heard this, he smiled bitterly and said after a while: "Our goal is still to win the championship. I believe Kevin will come back. We are waiting for him in the playoffs."
"With the loss of control, will there be any problems in our regular season?" the reporter asked again.
"No, we have enough manpower, and all of us will share his tasks." Buckley said firmly.
The fourth questioner was a reporter from the Los Angeles Daily. The target of his question was Wang Tiejun. He asked: "Old K, among the rookies in 1992, Alonzo Mourning's performance was second only to O'Neal, ranking second on the rookie list, and
You are ranked 20th, what do you think of this ranking?"
"2nd, 24th? Damn it, is the gap between him and me so big?"
Wang Tiejun pondered for a moment and said: "I don't think this ranking can be maintained until the end of the season. It will definitely change."
The reporter asked: "As for the center players among the 1992 rookies, do you want to evaluate their future? Including yourself."
Wang Tiejun curled his lips, I'm not a commentator, why are you asking me this? He thought for a moment and then said:
"O'Neal is very powerful and has a perverted talent, so I call him a pervert. But that guy has no fighting spirit. He is a softie. His willpower is not as good as Mourning. This is his weakness and it may affect his career.
career……"
Before he finished speaking, the reporters below started to commotion in surprise.
The reporter from the Los Angeles Times did not expect that Wang Tiejun would actually comment on O'Neal, and he was very unkind in his evaluation of O'Neal. He asked excitedly: "Old K, why do you say O'Neal has no fighting spirit?"
"Answer carefully." Paul Westphal tilted his head and warned in a low voice.
Nodding, Wang Tiejun said: "Last time we played against O'Neal, he avoided confrontation with me in the second half. But today, Mourning, who suffered a loss in tonnage and strength, started a confrontation with me throughout the game. Doesn't this explain the problem enough?"
"What about your own future?" the reporter asked again.
"It will be bright because the sun will always break through the dark clouds. I firmly believe this. I also like the sun."
Wang Tiejun said with bright eyes.
"Pa bang..."
Colangelo stood aside and clapped his hands, and some Suns staff and some media reporters also began to applaud his words.
…
After the press conference, Wang Tiejun did not go home. Instead, he followed Barkley and Mr. Colangelo to the clinic where Dr. Carter worked, along with other teammates.
He was riding in Buckley's car, which had a lot of space. He sat in the passenger seat and thought it was pretty good, so he asked, "Brother, how much does this car cost?"
"It costs tens of thousands of dollars. This is a Ford SUV. It is practical and not expensive. The advantage is that it has a lot of space and can sit very comfortably for your size."
Buckley started the car and said while looking in the rearview mirror.
"What is this kind of car called an SUV?" Comrade Lao Wang couldn't understand, so he just said that he was an old man.
"Yes, an urban off-road vehicle, haha, it's just different." Buckley laughed.
"I have to learn to drive first, brother, let me borrow your car to practice." Lao Wang said with a smile.
Buckley said: "Old K, before you learn to drive, you need to take a theoretical test and obtain a driver's license before you can go on the road with someone accompanying you.
Then you should buy a car of your own, because you will also use your own car during the exam. If you use my car, you will not be familiar with it after changing the car. This is my suggestion to you."
"Okay, I will buy a car in a while."
Wang Tiejun thought for a while, felt it made sense, and nodded.
