Chapter 148 [The game is for five people]
Chapter 148
After taking a shower, Ye Feng and Thibodeau attended the press conference together and were interviewed. At the press conference, the reporters had been waiting for a long time.
The Suns were the first to be interviewed. Head coach Terry Porter just started his coaching career last season, leading the Bucks to achieve 41 wins and 41 losses. Before that, he had just ended his 17-season player career. He had played against all the stars in the league since the 1990s, but in an interview, he said that he had never seen a player like Ye Feng.
"I don't know how to describe him. People used to say that his template was LeBron. James was definitely not like this. James took the ball from the outside every game, dribbled the ball, shot or passed the ball, but he never made 20 shots at the same position on one night. Ye Feng's jump shots were almost all at 45 degrees. You know what he would do, but there is still no way to stop it. Is there anything worse than this?"
It is no secret that Ye Feng likes to wipe the board at 45 degrees in the league, but he can still get a lot of points with this move every game, which is a combination of McGrady's pull and Duncan's wipe board.
The reporter asked: "Who do you think he looks like?"
Porter frowned and said depressedly: "No one is like him. I don't remember that there were players like him in the league. He is not impeccable, but the Suns now have no one to limit him one-on-one, which is a pity."
To put it simply, the Suns' defense is too bad, and Porter is unwilling to mention it.
Nash and Stadameer were also in a bad mood. They only said a few words in an interview, and O'Neal missed the press conference. In the second game of the 2006 Finals, he missed the press conference and was fined $10,000 by the league. The Heat were also affected. They were fined $25,000 by the league. The Suns may be in trouble next.
Thibodeau said a lot about tactical arrangements. Many of the Clippers' main players played for a short time in this game, and the reporters were very interested.
The reporter also interviewed Anthony Morrow, who scored 19 points, and today he scored 5 three-pointers, making great contributions to the team's victory.
Of course, the focus of the whole game was Ye Feng. Many media sent reporters here to interview him after watching the data in the first half. Tomorrow this will definitely be the headlines of sports news. Before, Ye Feng was just an ordinary star, but after this game, he was more like a superstar. The media's attention naturally could not leave him performing magically on the field.
Ye Feng had long been used to this kind of scene, and he was very calm, sitting quietly at the table, waiting for the reporters to take turns asking questions with a smile.
The reporter asked: "Ye, you set an amazing record in this game today. What do you think is your biggest advantage on the court and what is the NBA's most?"
Ye Feng thought for a while and replied: "I don't know the biggest advantage. I just hit the opponent's weakness on the field. What does the most important person mean? I don't understand what you want to ask?"
The white reporter said embarrassedly: "It's just that what are the differences between you and other players? What do you think you have?"
Ye Feng suddenly realized and smiled and said, "Oh, is it special? It's obvious that I am the most handsome person in the league!"
The reporters all laughed. This was a very narcissistic answer. However, in the 2008 American "charming celebrities" and "sexy men", Ye Feng was on the list, which was not a big deal. Some reporters present believed that his biggest feature was his sense of responsibility, whether on the court or in life. Many men became bad when they were rich. If the ladies regarded it as charming, most people might strive to be a playboy, but Ye Feng maintained his loyalty and low-key attitude towards his feelings, which was a unique personality in the league.
The reporter asked: "How do you think of this large triple-double? It has brought you honor, and is there anything else?"
Ye Feng thought for a moment and said, "Everyone has a good time. Today is, this is a wonderful game. I want to thank Coach Thibodeau, who formulated the tactics for me, gave me the right to take action, and encouraged me to attack boldly in every game. I want to thank my teammates, without them, the Clippers may not win this game. The large triple-double is the result of collective efforts. This is basketball, the game belongs to five people."
A female reporter asked about a sensitive topic, and maybe everyone here wanted to know. "During the intermission, many people thought you could break Kobe's 81-point record. I heard that even his teammates wanted you to do this, but you didn't do it alone, but chose to pass the ball. What do you think?"
Ye Feng had a sudden inspiration, took a breath, and smiled and said, "I have played in three teams. Every coach and every game will warn the players to cooperate on the court, pass the ball when they see a free time, and pass the ball even more when they encounter double teams. Do you still need to think about it? I am just executing the coach's arrangements and playing the ball correctly."
The reporters were all satisfied with this answer and thought it was very thoughtful.
One person then asked, "Do you think Kobe's way of playing basketball is correct?"
I'm just waiting for you to ask this question. Ye Feng smiled and said, "My opinion on this question is meaningless. I am not a Lakers player anymore. It's not my business. You should ask the Lakers players, coaches, not me. I can only say that when I meet the Lakers in the game, I don't want to lose."
The reporters were even more satisfied with his answer, not saying that Kobe was not good, but in fact he had invisibly belittled Kobe's 81 points.
The reporter asked: "Do you have pressure in the game? Although the Clippers are good at playing now, they are still outside the playoffs."
Ye Feng answered very simply. "There is no pressure at all. You should know that before the start of the season, a group of experts predicted us as the bottom of the league and were expected to win the No. 1 pick. As long as we have a record better than last season, we will be successful. Why are there still pressure? Every victory is like an uproar, a gift from God. This feeling is very good. In the eyes of others, we were just a fish, while other teams were a knife. Everyone could destroy us, but they were wrong."
The reporter asked: "What do you think the Clippers are now?"
"Now we are still a fish, a salted fish that has turned over."
Everyone burst into laughter again.
The reporter asked: "Have you ever thought about getting better data in the future? For example, breaking the scoring record?"
Ye Feng said seriously: "It is the decision of the opponent or not to break the record, not me. If you want me to break the assist record, double-team me in the whole game. I will not disappoint everyone. If you want to see me break the score record, you will send someone to defend the singles. I am very confident in singles now."
The reporter asked: "You have performed very well this season. What do you think about the prospects of the Clippers? Do you really want to get the MVP of this season? Now you are ranked fifth in the regular season MVP list, which is a very high ranking."
Ye Feng smiled and said, "The Clippers will enter the playoffs, but I dare not say they have won a high ranking. Once you lead the team to the best record in the league, personal honors will naturally follow one after another. Therefore, I should not have anything to do with the MVP selection this season. Everyone knows that the MVP selection criteria are data plus team record. We are a young team and are in the process of running-in, and the state will get better and better. As long as the Clippers strive for the championship in the future and win the first place in the regular season record, I will have a chance to become the MVP, not this year."
The reporter asked: "After this game, your average score will definitely increase. Only Wade and James are ahead of you. Will you want to surpass them to win the scoring champion this season?"
If you don't care, it's too hypocritical. Ye Feng said: "I really want to win the scoring champion this season. This is a recognition of my personal ability. If you want to help the team win, the most important thing is to score."
The reporter asked: "Can you talk about your teammates? I think your success has infected many new players. Do you think the Clippers have players that can help you succeed now?"
This question is a trap. If you don’t answer it well, the news of Ye Feng may appear on the next day that the team is not satisfied with. News about which positions and players Ye Feng is not satisfied with.
Ye Feng said seriously: "My teammates and I always encourage each other. I am also a newcomer. The league will also invite me to participate in the rookie challenge this season. I want to talk about a special question here. To this day, many experts still hold an argument, saying that I am the leader of the team, but my teammates are not good. Love averages a double-double and can grab 12 rebounds. What can he do? Smith needs no more. With him, we are stronger. Wright and Morrow, we shot a lot of three-pointers today and have strength. Others are also very strong and have their own characteristics. I won't list them one by one. Please don't say that they are not good. My teammates are all very good and will become better players in the future. All we lack is experience."
The reporter asked: "You have played perfectly so far this season, but if the Clippers' playoffs are not far this season, would you think such a result is a waste of your performance?"
Ye Feng said: "As long as we try our best, we can accept losing even if we lose. We can all get training and increase our playoff experience. This is a process, and only with a process can we have results. Our goal will not change, that is, to win the championship."
The reporter asked: "The last question is that the Clippers still have plenty of salary space to introduce a big-name player. Will you consider introducing big-name players to strengthen them?"
Even if you are preparing to introduce it, you can't say who it is, otherwise there will be competitors. Ye Feng smiled and said, "This is a question that the uniform team needs to consider. Personally, the current lineup is already very good. Everyone wants to form a star team to win the championship, but it is unrealistic. Of course, if any star is willing to join the Clippers, no matter how old or young, the Clippers are absolutely welcome."
Whether it is successful or not is one thing. Let’s shout out first. If a powerful veteran takes advantage of the Clippers’ potential and is willing to join, then you will make a profit. Every season, some old stars are willing to cut their salaries and join promising strong teams just to get a championship ring.
Ye Feng always forgets to seek some benefits for the team when he is interviewed. When Donald Sterling sees this interview, he is happy again. The old man and Ye Feng have a special talk. He likes many suggestions, thinking that Ye Feng is as stingy as him. In fact, Ye Feng just sees far and does not want to bring the bad contract with a cost-effectiveness to the Clippers to affect the future.
That night, the Clippers flew back to Los Angeles on a special plane and rested for a day. They will face the Eastern Conference strong team Detroit Pistons at home.
