Chapter 243 After the game!

The New Orleans Arena was flooded with huge applause and cheers!The Hornets fans applauded excitedly and took out their mobile phones to take pictures as souvenirs!
"Haha, after watching the game between the Hornets and the Lakers today, I think the Hornets will definitely qualify for the Western Conference semifinals!" David Wesley said happily.

Barkley said in the same way: "As far as it looks, this is indeed the case, but I think the Lakers will definitely adjust quickly. As for the reason, do you think that Gasol will still qualify for the third quarter and Paul George missed? The Lakers in the third quarter today are too abnormal. There are obviously so many opportunities for misplacement!"

Barkley went on to say: "Presti actually played a 10-man rotation. Maybe the players played well in this game. What about the next game? I don't think the Lakers' three starting lineups in the next game can't beat the Hornets.

At this time, David Wesley was like a fan in his previous life, thinking to himself: "What you said is useless. The Hornets have no all-star lineup to reach the first place in the Western Conference and enter the Western Conference semifinals. What's the use of ordinary analysis? Let's see, the Hornets will still win the next game!"

........................

Fan Forum: "The Hornets are too fierce in the third quarter!"

"The "Huang San Crazy" deserves its reputation! The Lakers were directly beaten!"

"The Hornets in the third quarter really restricted the Lakers! The Lakers only scored 15 points in the third quarter..."

"Everyone analyze and analyze, why the Hornets are so fierce in the third quarter!"

Lakers fans: "I want to know too! Why can't the Hornets throw it? Why can't our Lakers score?"

Lakers fans: "I'm so close to watching this game!"

………………

Hornets post-match press conference, as soon as Presti sat down with the players, the reporter couldn’t wait to ask questions,
"Presti, may I ask why the team can always break out in the third quarter and open the score?" The reporter quickly asked.

Presti said with a smile: "It's not a big secret. We just discussed the problems we should solve at halftime, and then the players felt that they should stand up, and then you saw, in the third quarter, everyone did stand up!"

The reporter immediately asked Curry who was sitting next to Presti: "Hi Curry, what do you think is the reason why you were able to pull the Lakers by more than ten points in the third quarter?"

Curry said confidently: "Everyone on our team knows each other's abilities. In the third quarter, we will have more verbal communication, play tougher, and trust each other. When we do those things, it is difficult for you to score on us!"

"Hello Thompson, this year is your rookie season. You have entered the Western Conference semifinals in your rookie season. So far your data is 17.9 points, 4.3 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.1 steals. It is hard to imagine that this is a rookie's data. How did you do it?" The reporter asked seriously.

Thompson smiled, then pointed to Presti and Curry who were sitting next to him and said: "Of course it is because of my coach and my teammates. I am very lucky to be selected by Coach Press, and I am also very lucky to have such good teammates.

They gave me a lot of trust. I played as a starter in my rookie season, and I actually averaged 15 shots per game in my rookie season!It's really like a dream! "

Another reporter immediately got up and asked: "Paul George, your performance last year has surprised many people, and this year is even better than last year, especially on the defensive end! Your progress is really hard to think of. There are no words to describe it. May I ask how you did it!"

Paul George scratched his head and said: "The coach asked me to watch a lot of videos of excellent defenders defending and some habits of some excellent players, and then practiced crazily in the past summer!"

After George finished answering, the reporter asked again: "Jimmy Butler, this season is also your rookie season. Up to now, you have averaged 9.8 points, 4 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 0.95 steals per game, and these are only scored in 23 minutes of playing. This data has surpassed many players who were drafted before you. How did you achieve this result!"

Jimmy Butler laughed at himself: "When I participated in the draft, there were basically no scouts who were optimistic about me. Only Coach Presti called me. He told me that I have a talent that many players don't have. That is to work hard and work hard! Now I tell you that I can achieve these things because I have this talent!"

The reporter began to interview Presti again: "Coach D'Antoni has worked with you before, you should know better, what do you think of Coach D'Antoni!"

Presti said with a smile: "D'Antoni is a very good coach. You saw that when he led this team before, this team was able to reach an average of 121.2 points per game! The goal difference is 18.6 points!"

The reporter asked again: "What do you think of the Lakers led by D'Antoni, and how far do you think they can go?"

Presti: "The Lakers are a very good, very good team. As for how far they can go, you can ask my players!" Having said this, Presti handed the microphone to Curry next to him,

Curry was taken aback for a moment, then laughed and said, "The Lakers are very good. If they hadn't met us, they might have gone further, but if they met us, I can only say sorry!"

When the reporter heard about it, he immediately shot wildly!Finally there is news!

After that, the reporter conducted a simple interview, and the press conference ended!

……

On the other side, at the Lakers press conference, the reporter asked: "D'Antoni, what is the reason for today's failure?"

D'Antoni said helplessly: "They made a goal, but we didn't make it!"

The reporter continued to ask: "Will you win the next game?"

At this moment, De'Anton complained wildly in his heart, what kind of reporter is this, what can I say if you ask this question?
D'Antoni can only say: "We have a very high probability of winning the game!"

Another reporter asked Kobe: "Kobe, today the team allowed the Hornets to open up more than ten points in the third quarter, and it was these ten points that led to the failure of the final game. Why did the team play so often in the third quarter? Besides, you only hit two goals."

Kobe is also a bit bitter at this time, this year he has been troubled by injuries, this season is a shrinking and intensive schedule, and he has to defend Curry who is running around all over the court, and the most important thing is that he has to bear the heavy responsibility of offense!

"As you saw in the third quarter, the opponent's players were very flexible. Whether it was on the defensive end or the offensive end, we didn't play our own rhythm. Instead, we played with the opponent's rhythm. In the end, that's it," Kobe said lightly.
