Chapter 324 Post-match interview
Donovan came to the scene of the press conference, and after sitting down, reporters raised their hands to ask questions.

"Mr. Donovan, I'm Catherine, a reporter from TNT, how is George's injury? Can he return for the next game?"

Donovan said honestly: "For his injury, it seems not very optimistic at the moment. G3 may not be able to play, but the possibility of subsequent return is not ruled out."

"Hi, I'm a reporter from Canada's Maple Leaf Sports. In this game, Nas used your tactics. What do you think about this?"

Donovan: "This shows that my tactics are really good, and he has paid enough attention to them. Unfortunately, Nurse only learned the superficiality and didn't understand the essence. The Raptors only scored two points with that tactic. With the second use, Lee's steal and fast break responded, and I advised Nurse to stop plagiarism, he cannot profit from it."

"So, Nurse's tactical arrangement in the second half helped the team win. How do you evaluate his tactical level?"

Donovan: "We lost today because we didn't play well enough, not because of Nurse's tactical arrangement. In the next game, we will return to Oklahoma, where tens of thousands of fans will support us. Players Familiar with everything about the Pisacek Energy Center, we will definitely be able to win G3!"

Donovan left the interview booth, Li Haoyu and Westbrook came to the press conference with solemn expressions.

"Hello, Mr. Li Haoyu, I'm Steven, a reporter from Time Warner. May I ask whether the loss of the game is related to George's injury?"

Li Haoyu: "George is very important to us. This cannot be explained by the statistics. With him on the perimeter, we will have a good space to execute the offense. I sincerely hope that he can recover soon."

The corner of the reporter's lips raised slightly, and he asked, "Does that mean you don't know how to attack without George? At the end of the first half, you had already scored 24 points, but in the second half after George was injured, you only scored 3 points." ,What do you think of this?"

He even dug a language trap for me!

Li Haoyu snorted coldly: "I beg you to be a human being. Take a closer look at how much Kawaii's stats have risen. He will fight me to death at any cost. Look at the end, who ran to the ground with cramps to accept it?" Physiotherapy?"

The reporter glanced at the data panel. As Li Haoyu said, Leonard scored 19 points in the first half and only 6 points in the second half, and he was speechless.

The staff motioned for another reporter to ask a question.

"Mr. Russell, I'm Catherine, a reporter from TNT. Excuse me. In the second half, you held a lot of possessions, but you didn't score as much as you wanted. On the contrary, the Raptors played well and didn't expand the score much. Regarding this, What do you think?"

Westbrook: "I think the Raptors should be renamed the Toronto Snapping Turtles. All of them are like turtles, huddled in the paint."

The reporters at the scene laughed, and Catherine continued to ask: "Since the Toronto team has shrunk, you naturally have room to shoot, but your three-pointer did not lead the team to victory."

Westbrook looked at the reporter coldly, and said displeasedly, "Next question."

Tengxing reporter Lin An raised his little hand, and after getting permission from the staff, he asked, "Hello, Mr. Li Haoyu. It's a pity that the Thunder failed to win today. Can you talk about the situation of the next game?"

Li Haoyu: "After we go back, we will carefully analyze the problem and find a solution. The Thunder will never back down. We have the home court advantage in the next game, and we will go all out!"

After the interview, Li Haoyu and Westbrook walked to the locker room, just bumping into Leonard and Siakam.

The Raptors held their heads high, and raised their eyebrows at the Thunder and Thunder triumphantly.

Westbrook: "You wait, the next game will be in Oklahoma City!"

Siakam: "Well, the basket there must be easier for you to hit the iron."

"Stop talking, let's go." Leonard stopped his teammates from talking trash.

At the same time, Raptors coach Nurse is being interviewed.

"Hi Mr. Nurse, in the previous interview, the head coach of the Thunder accused you of plagiarizing tactics. How do you explain this?"

After winning the game, Nurse was in a good mood, and said with a smile: "Let's put it this way, almost all teams in the world play horns, so does it mean that everyone is plagiarizing?
Look at the problem rationally. I admit that I did use the Thunder's tactics, but you can't call it plagiarism. How can the basketball coach's thing be called plagiarism?That's called reference!

What's more, I think everyone knows who that tactic came from. "

"Hello, Mr. Nass, I am a reporter from Canadian Sports Channel. In the second half, after George was injured, you immediately changed your strategy and let Kawhi go to limit Lee. This also helped you win the game. How did you think of this at that time? What kind of strategy?"

With a smug smile on Nas's face, his tactical ability has finally begun to be recognized by the outside world:

"After the Eastern Conference finals, I spent a lot of time studying the game video of the Thunder. I found that Li Zhen is a difficult problem. Just like his nickname Mamba the Ghost, he is really everywhere. He can score by himself. More importantly, because of his running involvement, the Thunder can play a smooth offense.

In addition, his unparalleled dominance in the transition stage made me very afraid.

I decided to send Kawhi Leonard, the toughest defender on the team, known as Death Coil, and I did it for the first time.

It's a pity that although Kawhi restricted Lee, the Thunder still have Russell and Paul George, their offense is still guaranteed, Kawhi can only carry the heavy burden of offense to bite the score, but the consumption on both ends of the offense makes him unbearable burden, so I gave up this strategy at the time.

Today George was injured and I resolutely sent Kawhi to defend Lee again. He completed the task excellently. Although this choice sacrificed his offense to a certain extent, it is of great significance to us to be able to limit Lee. Kawhi Yi is the key to the Raptors' victory today!

Fortunately, my boys played well enough, and the others lived up to the sacrifice Kawhi made. "

After Nass, Leonard and Siakam, who were waiting in the audience, took the interview seat.

"Hello, congratulations on winning the game. May I ask Mr. Kawhi, at the last moment you had cramps when you were replaced. Can you talk about the situation at that time?"

Speaking of this, a smile appeared on Leonard's face: "Lee is so difficult. I exhausted my energy trying to keep up with him. I have never been so tired like today. I played tiebreaker. , I also played double overtime, and I was not as tired as this game."

The reporter asked curiously: "When you know that Li intends to consume your physical energy, why don't you relax your defensive intensity to save physical energy?"

Leonard blurted out: "That's the ghost Mamba! You'll know it once you've played against him. If you slack off, he will come to the most threatening place to score in a blink of an eye. I can't give him this chance. "
