Even if he is not present at all, he is the absolute focus. From this, you can feel Lu Yiqi's popularity. In the eyes of the reporters, the contribution of victory should indeed belong to Lu Yiqi. So, where is the protagonist at this moment?

He is welcoming Cruise.

The entire award ceremony lasted nearly thirty minutes. Correspondingly, the scale and itinerary of all trips were bloated several times. Lu Yiqi couldn't even find room to breathe, which was even harder than the competition itself. Before going to the press conference, he saw Thompson and Cruise and his group come to the locker room to congratulate him.

"Excellent! Great! God! My heart is almost about to jump out, but such a wonderful game is definitely a pleasure! I like it so much!"

Cruise hugged Lu Yiqi with excitement on his face, again, again, again, there was no need for words at all, and he could feel his excitement in his actions, and there was no room for Lu Yiqi to interrupt-

However, Lu Yiqi enjoyed it quite well. The award ceremony just now consumed too much of Lu Yiqi's energy. Before he could enter the press conference, the reporters and alliance officials had already bombarded him. Now that Cruise has taken over the initiative, it is a good thing for Lu Yiqi.

"God! My heart almost jumped out today. I was still worried whether my arrival disrupted the team's preparation rhythm. If I really lost today..."

Obviously, Cruise also realized that it was inappropriate to visit before the game, but it was Thompson who asked Lu Yiqi to go to the VIP room. At this time, you can see that Thompson's expression was slightly stiff, but when facing Cruise, Thompson could not say anything, so Lu Yiqi interrupted Cruise's words-

In order to avoid Thompson's embarrassment, he took his anger on him.

"... Then our skills are not as good as others." Lu Yiqi said with a smile, "It's like this in competitive sports. In the final analysis, you still need to look at the on-the-spot performance. You can be fully prepared, but the ever-changing changes in the game are unpredictable. It requires strength and a little luck."

Speaking of this, Lu Yiqi paused for a moment and glanced at Thompson in his eyes.

Sure enough, Thompson said with a chance, "It seems that we have good luck today." This is a compliment to Cruise.

Cruise's smile immediately bloomed and he said modestly, "No matter what, Coach Archie is still very good."

The atmosphere became more and more harmonious again.

Seeing that Lu Yiqi was about to go to the press conference for an interview, Cruise noticed Thomas' wink at the side, so he stopped his words in time and smiled at Lu Yiqi, "Next time my movie is released in Los Angeles, you are welcome to visit."

"This is my honor, and I can also enjoy the luxurious treatment in Hollywood." Lu Yiqi quipped, then politely said, then left with Thomas, while Thompson and Cruise and his group went to the locker room to celebrate the victory with the other players.

Later I learned that Cruise was not polite. He really liked Lu Yiqi. Not only did he praise Lu Yiqi when he was interviewed by reporters; but also took the initiative to call Lu Yiqi during the offseason and invited Lu Yiqi to his private party, which really made Lu Yiqi among the elite and opened up the situation for his career.

Previously, although the alliance has been promoting Lu Yiqi, for the real power figures on Wall Street, whether they are willing to use Lu Yiqi as their spokesperson and whether they are willing to carry out long-term cooperation with Lu Yiqi is a complicated process. In person contacting through Cruise's recommendation, breaking the barriers of prejudice and breaking fixed ideas is undoubtedly equivalent to opening a door.

Of course, this is a later story.

Even at this moment, Lu Yiqi could feel Cruise's enthusiasm. When he was waiting to enter the press conference, the smile on the corner of his mouth rose.

Faced with the violent bombardment of reporters, Lu Yiqi responded very calmly. Most of the problems were expected and there were no special surprises. Among them, Lu Yiqi also showed his wit and humor again about the questions of the players' praise.

"Coach Archie, at the post-match press conference, all the players of the Green Bay Packers praised you. What did you respond to this?"

This is a very difficult question. Too confident can easily appear arrogant, too modest can easily appear hypocritical. How to grasp the right position is a difficult question, but Lu Yiqi showed the perfect answer, "Ha, next time you can tell them that if they are kidnapped or threatened, you will blink at you twice."

The whole audience burst into laughter!

Lu Yiqi used a self-deprecating method to complain that the team became his own man. The players spoke good words against their conscience due to their own pressure, but their ease and calm appearance made Tucao show rare humor and successfully won the applause of the reporters.

Among the boring question and answer, there is a question that is quite interesting, which was raised by local Arizona media.

"Coach Archie, do you realize you're making history?"

"I like a different saying more, creating possibilities." Lu Yiqi replied, "Of course, from the precedent, the identity of Chinese and the age of thirty are destined to be special. Every game I have been able to be marked as the first time in history, because no one has ever done it before."

"But I hope to look at it from another perspective. When we stand on the court, our opponents will not change their tactics because of my identity and age, and will not let me win - I am very happy to do it." A casual joke made the press conference laugh collectively, "But no, I need to fight for it myself and fight for it myself. So, in my opinion, the so-called specific factors that create history do not bring advantages or disadvantages, they are just a label."

“I hope people can see more than make history, I broke the definition and constraints of these labels and proved the true charm of competitive sports: anything is possible.”

Confident and calm, generous and calm, Lu Yiqi truly showed a calm temperament from the inside out, and once again, it was impressive:

The wisdom and maturity of this young coach are still above people's imagination.

"Coach Archie, before the start of the season, the Green Bay Packers' goal was to advance to the playoffs. Now the team has exceeded the task, so what about your goal now?"

Hearing this question, Lu Yiqi laughed, "The champion is of course the champion! No one stands on the decisive battle stage to fight for failure. I am not, I think, not another Federation champion."
Chapter completed!
