Chapter 67: Interview With 76 People, Only 60 Points
And after the game, there was an interview with the Lakers.
The Lakers head coach said:
"I don't know why you still have so many doubts. You all saw the game."
"If you say Sashiro is not dominant,"
"Then let me ask you, can you find a more dominant player?"
All the reporters were speechless.
really!
No one has ever seen such a talented and dominant guard player!
He was able to perform like this in his first NBA game.
Even looking back at history, it is difficult to find a second player like him.
Today is definitely a day worth celebrating for the media.
Not because it's Christmas, but because, as can be foreseen, today's game will bring about countless topics!
After the game, major media outlets and many fans cut out the wonderful footage of the game and put these videos on major websites!
As soon as these videos were posted online, they instantly became popular!
"Oh my god!! This is too exciting!!"
"Isn't this more exciting than Bo?"
"Bo Renchuan, even dogs won't read it!!"
"Indeed!! Isn't this f*****g amazing?!"
"Who is this Asian guy? How many points has he scored???"
"The player he just faced off against, couldn't that be Westbrook!!"
"Holy crap!! He actually dunked on Westbrook's head?!"
"Is this true or false?"
"As we all know, videos cannot be photoshopped, so it must be real!!"
"It's outrageous, especially the last three points! Was it really not a fluke?"
"It was amazing. I really couldn't believe that he performed like this in just one game!!"
"You have to believe it, because in every one of these wonderful shots, the background is Paul George..."
...
Poor Paul George, he also became popular again, of course, also serving as a backdrop!
Pickled peppers are the best!!
And countless fans never expected this.
The Lakers, who had been in a slump, actually showed a completely different state immediately because of the addition of this rookie!
The entire team's offensive and defensive efficiency have now reached a new level.
Even to a team like the Thunder with a luxurious lineup, they were not inferior at all?
This incident made those who had predicted that Sashiro would not be able to adapt to the intensity of the NBA wish they could delete what they said right there!!
On the other side, the 76ers, who had just finished their second game, were accepting post-match media interviews.
In this game, the 76ers still achieved a good result: 91-86, winning the game.
Although his opponent was not a strong team, it was still a gratifying victory.
And in this game, Fultz's performance remains stable.
He scored a balanced statistic of 19 points, 2 rebounds and 4 assists throughout the game.
This is already quite amazing data for the 76ers management!
Simmons also got good statistics in this game.
Looks like these two rookies are very promising!
Seeing the team win the game again, the team owner smiled and said:
"Hey guys, you guys did a great job!!"
"Keep this up, and this year, we will be the strongest contender for the Eastern Conference playoffs!!"
When the boss walked off the court with the players, at this time, they were suddenly surrounded by a swarm of media.
This scene made the owner of the 76ers team slightly stunned.
Isn't this just a regular season game?
Um?
What is happening? ?
Did we just win the NBA championship?
what hell?
Looking at the situation where the number of interviews far exceeded the usual number, the boss was a little confused for a moment.
He smiled and told the media:
"Hey, calm down, guys."
"I know we played well in this game, but even if you want to interview us, you have to come one by one, right?"
The reporters obviously ignored what the 76ers owner said.
He walked right past him and towards Fultz, saying to him:
"Excuse me, how do you think you performed in this match?"
"Do you feel that you have demonstrated your true strength in the game just now?"
"Do you still think you can adapt to the NBA better than Sashiro?"
"What do you want to say to your old rival, Sashiro?"
...
Fultz was obviously a little confused by the sudden barrage of questions from reporters.
but, he also quickly smiled and accepted it.
After all, geniuses always attract attention!
Why not pretending anymore?
Showdown!
I am a genius!
So Fultz straightened his clothes and looked at Simmons, the No. 1 pick in the previous draft, in a very pretentious manner, as if the subtext is saying:
"Isn't it that you don't have this treatment? Haha!"
Simmons rolled his eyes at him, looking at him like a fool.
Fultz cleared his throat and told reporters:
"I feel that my performance in this game can still be improved, but overall, this is indeed my strength."
"I feel that I have improved a lot during the summer league! I am completely different now than I was during the NCAA league."
"As for Sashiro, I'm sorry! I don't think he has grown at all!! Unlike me, I have worked hard and grown, and now I can get such data."
"If nothing unexpected happens, I might get the Best Rookie award before him!"
...
Watch Fultz talk.
Simmons on the side was speechless, quietly cursing:
"Silly!"
It's obvious that the reporter is setting a trap for you, and you dare to say it!
Still too young!!
On the other side, after hearing Fultz's "simple" answer, the reporters all smiled "kindly".
"Excuse me, Mr. Fultz, do you know how this Sashiro, who you are talking about as someone who has not grown at all, performed against the Thunder?"
Fultz reacted.
Of course, he knows that the Thunder team is strong this year!
The Big Three consisting of Westbrook, Paul George, and Anthony are extremely competitive.
For a rookie to face the Big Three, it would be good enough if he didn't get beaten to tears!
Fultz then said:
"Although I don't know, but I guess that in this game, the Thunder will definitely crush Sashiro's Lakers!"
"He definitely won't score any points."
Journalists are all professionally trained.
They usually don't laugh.
Unless you can't help it.
"Pfft...Mr. Fultz, you're right. Sashiro didn't score many points. He played for 30 minutes and only scored 60 points."
Fultz nodded proudly, before he could react to what the reporter said.
"Look, let me tell you, he couldn't score many points because he didn't grow! So the fact that he only scored 60 points against the Thunder is just..."
"Hey...wait, how many points?"
In an instant, all the wisdom in Fultz's brain worked collectively.
Only then did I understand what the reporter had just said.
"You are kidding me, you just said he scored 60 points!?!"
