As soon as Chen Yan stepped into the press conference, reporters frantically clicked the shutter.
The reporters have been waiting for Chen Yan for a long time.
Although this is Los Angeles, the territory of the Lakers, Chen Yan is the biggest protagonist tonight!
Also attending the post-game press conference tonight were Suns head coach D'Antoni and teammate Stoudemire.
"Coach D'Antoni, first of all, congratulations to you and your team on a hard-won victory. Can you briefly tell me the biggest secret to winning tonight?" a reporter from Los Angeles Sports News asked first.
"Use him desperately." D'Antoni smiled and pointed at Chen Yan next to him.
All the reporters laughed when they saw this scene.
D'Antoni said the truest words in his heart in a joking tone.
The Suns' shooting percentage dropped severely in the last five minutes of the game. If Chen Yan hadn't stepped up to break the game, they would have been taken away by the Lakers.
"Entering the second half, we can obviously see that Chen's number of singles has increased. Will this style of play harm the team's tactical system?"
"Isolations are also part of the team's tactics, and any tactical system is for winning. I think we did a good job tonight." D'Antoni replied without thinking.
"Chen, tonight is the first time you have faced off against Kobe since you entered the NBA. Do you feel the pressure facing the best position in the league?" The next reporter from TNT asked Chen Yan.
"There is definitely pressure, after all, Kobe's position is there. For me, the psychological pressure is greater than the confrontational pressure, but fortunately I withstood it."
"Chen, you scored an astonishing 51 points tonight and became the youngest 50-pointer in history. However, in the first half, you only scored 7 points on 2 of 7 shots. What inspired you to complete the transformation in the second half?
?”
"I didn't lose confidence after a bad first half. A man once said that even if you miss 30 shots, you have to keep shooting the 31st shot. I went into the second half with this belief."
The reporter laughed after hearing this. Is this using Mamba Mentality to kill the real Mamba?
To return it to a certain man, you can just apply for Kobe ID card!
"Talk about the conflicts you had with fans during the game." The next reporter continued to ask,
"This is part of the away game. To a certain extent, I enjoy the interaction with the away fans, which can further stimulate my state." Chen Yan's answer was very mature, and those who didn't know thought he was a football player.
Alliance veteran.
"Rather than being expelled, I hope those two fans can stay on the field so that they can see with their own eyes that the team they support is defeated." Chen Yan added.
Killing someone requires a pig's heart. If those two Lakers fans saw this interview, they would probably be pissed to death.
"Chen, can you talk about you and Taylor Swift?" A gossip reporter somehow slipped into a group of sports reporters...
"She is a brave girl who dared to take off Kobe's jersey and show off my jersey in front of so many Lakers fans. I admire her very much."
Obviously, Chen Yan's bout is not what the media wants to hear. The media wants to hear gossip, revelations, and some details about the two of them.
But Chen Yan is definitely not that stupid, he just evades the important and takes the easy way out.
"Chen, I feel like I won the victory by myself tonight..."
As soon as the reporter was halfway through speaking, Chen Yan picked up the microphone and interrupted him: "I'm sorry, let me correct one thing. Tonight's victory was the result of the hard work of the whole team. In the first half, we relied on the strength of the team to hold on to the score with the Lakers.
My scoring in the second half was indispensable for Diaw, Steve's threading the needle, and Amare's offensive rebound at the end of the game was even more crucial. This was a typical team victory, but my score was one point higher than my teammates.
Just a little bit.”
Praising teammates can improve the team's chemical reaction, and Chen Yan will never forget this.
...
...
At the end of the press conference, the last reporter asked:
"Chen, what was going through your mind when you hit the winning shot?"
"I don't want to work overtime."
"Ahahahaha!"
Hearing Chen Yan's answer, there was another burst of laughter!
So true!
Then, Chen Yan continued: "I grew up watching Kobe Bryant play and knew that Kobe was an expert on killer shots. I have always fantasized about hitting those difficult killer shots like him, but I never thought that one day I would be able to do so.
Kobe Bryant hit a buzzer beater, so today is a very special day for me and worth remembering."
At this moment, Stoudemire suddenly picked up the microphone: "This guy defeated Kobe Bryant face-to-face tonight. This is the first time I have seen Kobe Bryant lose a huge scoring game with my own eyes. I think I can give Chen a new nickname in the future."
, how about just calling it Black Bangkok?”
What? Black Bangkok?
Stoudemire said a term that almost no one at the scene had heard of.
Looking at the confused people, Xiao Si gave an explanation: "Black Bangkok mainly eats snakes, and they are the natural enemies of Black Mamba!"
The meaning is good, but the nickname Black Bangkok is too unpleasant, and Chen Yan does not intend to adopt Xiaosi's opinion.
"Hey, Amare, where did you learn the term "Black Bangkok"?" After the press conference, Chen Yan asked Stoudemire casually.
"I learned this while watching animal documentaries."
"Animal documentaries? Come on, you are not the person to watch those things." Chen Yan ruthlessly exposed Xiaosi.
"As for the score, I like to watch animal documentaries when I'm with my girlfriend," Stoudemire said.
Xiaosi's answer made Chen Yan think a lot.
At this time, the BGM of Animal World suddenly sounded in Chen Yan's mind.
Spring is here, everything revives, and it's the mating season for animals...
On the other side, the Lakers press conference.
When Garnett was asked about the on-court conflict with Chen Yan, his reaction surprised everyone:
"That rookie is very talented, I like him."
Garnett looks very fiery and reckless on the court, but is actually very slippery.
He has only one purpose in trash talking, and that is to win.
Now that the game is over, there is no need for him to continue his anger outside the stadium.
"Is the team's loss related to the fact that you and Kobe are still in the running-in stage?"
Facing a reporter's question, Garnett tilted his head: "If you lose, you lose. I won't make excuses for losing. I can only say we'll see when we meet next time."
Next it’s Kobe’s question time.
"Kobe, although the Lakers lost tonight, you scored a personal high of 46 points since the start of the season. Does this make you feel better?"
"Absolutely not," Kobe said decisively.
Kobe had only one purpose on the court, and that was to win.
If the team loses the game, all data will be meaningless to him.
"Kobe, what advice would you give a rookie like Chen Yan?"
"He scored 50 points on me and even made a buzzer-beater. What advice can I give him?" Kobe cursed!
However, the reporter seemed to have no discernment and continued to ask: "Do you think he has adapted to the NBA?"
"Now it's not a question of whether he can adapt to the NBA, it's about the NBA starting to adapt to him!"
After Kobe answered impatiently, he turned around and left. More than half of the reporters' questions were related to Chen Yan, and he couldn't stand it anymore.
Kobe Bryant did not leave the arena after leaving the press conference. He has always had the habit of practicing after losing games, especially a loss like tonight's.
Unsurprisingly, Kobe will be cruel to himself. If he doesn't throw his hands until he can't lift them up, he probably won't go home.
Chen Yan originally wanted to practice with Kobe for a while and try to use his skills for free, but after thinking about it, Chen Yan gave up the idea.
Now Kobe is at his peak, with a strong desire to win and lose. He has just scored 51 points on him and a buzzer-beater. Now seems not a good time to ask for advice.
Moreover, Chen Yan has something to do tonight. Taylor Swift just sent him a text message saying that she was waiting for him outside the arena.
