NBA Legends Manager

Chapter 249 Away Flag
"The Hornets are really scary! Does he have any weaknesses?" Barkley looked at the Hornets players embracing each other in shock!

After a pause, he continued: "Smooth cooperation and excellent transfer of the ball have already made opponents hard to defend against. Now coupled with the final decision of a player with a big heart at the critical moment, it really feels a bit invincible!"

If Presti goes back to watch the replay and hears Barkley's words, he will definitely complain, because Paul George's career lore field goal percentage is surprisingly low, so this time it's just a dumpling!

"Haha, I didn't expect that Paul George could make a lore shot at this moment. Paul George really has a bright future!" David Wesley said excitedly.

Off the court, Presti patted Paul George on the shoulder vigorously and praised: "Good job!"

"Thank you coach!" Paul George said excitedly.

"After accepting their interview, go back quickly and have a press conference," Presti said with a smile.

"Yeah!" Paul George responded quickly.

Half an hour later, at the press conference, when Presti sat down with the players, the reporters immediately started asking questions!
"Paul George, you hit the game-winning shot tonight, what do you want to say?"

"Er... I am very grateful to my coach for being willing to give me the last chance to attack. Of course, I am also very grateful to my teammates for trusting me!" Paul George said seriously.

At this time, the reporter began to ask Curry again!
"Curry, your performance tonight was not as impressive as the last game, but you still won the game! How do you evaluate the performance of your teammates tonight?"

Curry smiled and said: "Of course it is very good", then Curry looked at the teammates next to him and said, "Thank you for taking me to lie down and win!"

As soon as Curry's voice fell, bursts of laughter broke out at the scene.

The reporter then asked: "What do you think is the reason for your mediocre performance? Is it the reason why Kobe usually defended you?"

Curry nodded and said, "This is a big part of the reason."

"Then what do you think of Kobe?"

"Kobe is a very good player and one of the rare superstars in today's league who combines offense and defense. I admire him a lot," Curry praised.

"Then you have the opportunity to defeat him now, do you feel very excited?"

"Haha, that's for sure, but it wasn't me who beat him, but our team beat him," Curry said with a smile.

At this time, the reporter turned the microphone to Thompson again!
"Thompson, you are still very efficient tonight, 7 of 5 three-pointers! How do you maintain such a game intensity?"

Thompson smiled and said, "I have to thank Stephen Curry for that." After saying this, Thompson glanced at Curry next to him and continued, "If it wasn't for him scurrying around halftime, how could I have so many open opportunities!"

Then Thompson continued: "Although Curry's statistics tonight are mediocre, his contribution to the game is no less than any of us. Without him, we don't have so many good shooting spaces!"

Finally, the reporter finally gave the microphone to Presti!
Before the reporter could speak, Presti smiled and said, "I remember that they interviewed me first, why am I the last one now? Could it be that I am getting old?"

"Ha...ha" Presti had just finished speaking, and bursts of laughter broke out again at the scene.

"Presti, you will go to Los Angeles to challenge the Lakers in the next game, so how many games do you think you can win in the two away games?"

Presti spread his hands and said: "Of course we will try our best to win them all, but as I said before, the Lakers are a very good team, and it is not surprising what kind of results happen. Now I can only say that we will do our best!"

"This time in the Western Conference semifinals, the fans often meet with you and D'Antoni. Now that you have won two games, do you have anything to say to D'Antoni?"

Presti laughed out loud, "What should I say?"

"It's what you want to say to D'Antoni, such as I will beat you in the next game."

This reporter made it clear that he wanted to cheat him.

Presti thought for a while and said with a smile: "I really want to talk to Coach D'Antoni."

"What?" The reporters immediately pricked up their ears!

"After I arrived in Los Angeles, please treat me to a big meal! After eating at my place for so long, I paid it back!" Presti laughed.

The players of the Hornets laughed and turned forward and backward,

The reporter said: "··········", speechless for a while.

On the other side, at the Lakers press conference, the atmosphere was extremely serious.

"Kobe, you did a very good job of restricting Curry tonight, but you lost the game in the end. What do you think is the reason?"

Kobe thought for a while and said: "Although Curry played mediocrely, his other teammates stood up, and the game ended like this." After a pause, he continued: "In addition, my performance was not good in the end. If it is better, the game can be ended!"

"The Hornets' bench scored 33 points, while the Lakers' bench scored 10 points. What do you think of this problem?"

Kobe said without a trace of expression: "Obviously, the Hornets' bench is very talented. Gordon is the top 10 pick, Bradley is the top 10 pick, Okafor is the second pick, and so on. Even many teams' starters are not as good as the Hornets' bench, so it is normal for them to perform well!"

"In the next game, you will return to Los Angeles and sit at home to face the challenge of the Hornets. What do you expect from the game?"

When Kobe heard about Los Angeles, a smile finally appeared on his face: "Los Angeles is our home. Fighting at home will always make us excited. Facing the cheers of the fans in our hometown, it is obvious that our combat effectiveness will be improved to a higher level!"

"In other words, will you win the next game?"

"Of course" Kobe confirmed with a smile.

The reporter immediately asked D'Antoni on the side: "Coach D'Antoni, what do you think of Kobe's "must win"?"

D'Antoni didn't answer immediately, but asked: "How far is our game from the Hornets?"

As soon as the reporter was about to answer, D'Antoni immediately said: "Three points, only three points,"

D'Antoni continued: "Although we lost this game, it showed us that the gap between us and the Hornets is not that big. If we were left with a few more seconds in the end, I believe the final result is likely to be another one. Don't forget, we scored higher in the fourth quarter."

Then D'Antoni said to himself: "And do you think we sit at home, and the advantage in our own arena is not as good as these three points? We will win the next game!"

"Must win?" The reporter shot wildly after hearing this!What they like to hear most is to set the flag before the game, so that no matter who wins, there will always be a lot of topics.
