Defending champion

Chapter 214 Aiming at the Championship

Chapter 34 The goal is directly on the championship
On October 10, local time in the United States, the Hornets held a routine press conference for the start of the new season training camp.

In addition to Jack and Paul, Tyson Chandler and Peja Stockovic, which the Hornets introduced this summer, also appeared on the scene, and the main players of the Hornets team came to take makeup photos.

The training camp of the Hornets will officially start tomorrow, and the two sides are actively preparing for the next season.

Jack also started his revenge.Jack is not a person who likes failure, he hates failure, he hates failure, and he has a paranoid pursuit of victory.

Last season, the Hornets lost to the Spurs in the first round.Although, it has been more than four months now, but Jack has always been brooding and can't let it go.Moreover, as time went by, the mentality of "Revenge San Antonio!" began to become more and more intense.It has begun to grow from buds to dense trees.

So, on the media day of the Hornets, Jack was interviewed by the media and asked: What is the goal of the new season?
Jack's answer was beyond everyone's expectations.Those reporters originally thought that Jack's goal would be to reach the playoffs, or win the championship, and win the title of "Most Valuable Player".Surprised!
"Revenge San Antonio! Defeat San Antonio!..." Jack simply repeated a sentence.

After hearing his words, the reporters at the scene were in an uproar.Because they know what Jack's answer means?
After finishing this question, the reporters at the scene did not stop bombarding Jack.

"After the Hornets lost the game against the Spurs, you disappeared for a while. What we want to ask is, can you tell us, what did you do during that period of time?"

"travel!"

"Where do you travel? Los Angeles? New York? Or..."

"This is my personal problem, I will not tell you." Jack has learned from the last season and one experience is-don't fight against the media. The media is the "uncrowned king" and they can easily and casually to discredit a person.Last season, Jack really learned the lesson.

It's not that Jack is afraid of these paparazzi, but that Jack doesn't want to cause unnecessary trouble. Jack doesn't have so much time to spend with them. Jack needs to do a lot in the new season.Jack found that as the level continued to rise, the experience needed to upgrade himself also continued to rise, and more exercises were required for dungeons.If Jack wants to go further on the current basis, Jack has to put in twice as much effort as before.

Seeing that Jack's mouth still couldn't be pried open, the reporter didn't bother with Jack on this topic, and immediately asked the next question:
"The Hornets introduced Peja Stockovich from the Timberwolves this summer, and then operated a one-to-three deal in exchange for Tyson Chandler. In addition, the core player Jack was left behind, and the contract was extended. David West, the combat effectiveness of the Hornets has obviously improved compared to last season, what do you think of the Hornets' management?"

"The management of the Hornets is rare in the league. They manage a team with very rich experience. Their operations are very beautiful."

"What do you think of your new teammates Peja Stockovic and Tyson Chandler?"

"Uh, I haven't seen them yet? Until now." Jack said surprisingly.In fact, Jack is just telling the truth.

From July to the day before yesterday, Jack has been in a state of retreat and practice, and it was not until yesterday that Jack ended the retreat.Although he knows the Hornets' summer operations, he hasn't had time to meet his new teammates yet.Therefore, Jack is just telling the truth.

"However, I know them from their games. Peja Stockovic is a rare shooter in the league. His three-pointers are very accurate. I believe that in the new season, you will see the Hornets. The three-point rain! There is also Tyson, Tyson is the best insider and the best defender I have ever seen, and his arrival can reduce the burden on our insider." A trace of cold sweat appeared on Jack's forehead, thinking : Fortunately, in my previous life, I studied the NBA a lot and knew the characteristics of Tyson and Peja, otherwise I would really make a fool of myself.

"Obviously! After the Lakers' summer operations this season, the strength of the Hornets has generally improved. Would you like to reveal your goals for the new season? 50 wins or the second round of the playoffs? Or... "

After Jack heard this question, his face gradually became ugly.This question of his reminded him of his last failure, which kind of feeling is really fucking uncomfortable!Jack never wanted to experience that feeling again.Never again.

The teeth at the corners of Jack's mouth were twitching faintly, his nose was breathing heavily, his fists were clenched tightly, his nails had sunk into the flesh, and the nails were turning white!Jack is angry!
He snatched the microphone from the reporter and yelled loudly: "What shit is the first round, the second round! Our goal is the championship, and the championship is our goal this season." Jack, who has been around for a long time It finally exploded!

Jack found that he had spent his whole life with this group of paparazzi.I can't bear it with my own personality. Since I don't want people, why force myself?
In fact, Jack's goal is not too much, because in the impression of his whole life, the championship of the 06-07 season is the San Antonio Spurs.Jack wants to beat the Spurs in the playoffs. If you follow this logic, aren't the Hornets the championship this year?
