champion heart

Chapter 11 11. You are such a D'Antoni

After winning the Spurs at home, ESPN reporters first interviewed Howard.

This kind of interview is obviously deliberately setting Howard up!

"Dwight, you played very well today, showing dominance on both ends of the offense and defense. Do you have anything to say about the comparison?"

Howard shrugged and replied: "As you said, I played pretty well tonight. I even think this is the highest game I have played all season. Now Kobe can't play, but even so, Our goal is still the championship! We have been working hard for it!"

It seems that Howard has been a little tricked, because he mentioned Kobe, and then mentioned the championship!
And that's what the media wants to hear the most.

"You mean, you're doing so well because Kobe isn't there?"

The reporter deliberately made things difficult.

Howard actually wanted to say yes in his heart, because of this, that Kobe guy is simply a ball bully. He is so old and still refuses to give up power to me. If I can be the absolute core of the team, the situation of the team will be certain. Better than now!

But he is not so stupid, it is difficult for him to say such words, because he knows what Kobe means to the Los Angeles Lakers.

Kobe is the totem of the team!
"No, I absolutely did not mean that, Kobe is one of the best players in the world, he is our leader! I mean, he can properly give other young people some opportunities on the team, we have a lot of players Nice youngsters, but they often don't get much of the ball!"

Well, when Howard said that, it's over!
What the media want is this kind of answer. The media has never worried about making things big. On the contrary, they exist to make things happen.

Sure enough, after Howard's words were released, he was undoubtedly condemned by the fans again!

Everyone can hear the meaning behind Howard's words, only he himself can't tell the difference!

Howard felt miserable. He really wanted to leave Los Angeles, a place of right and wrong, now, and he didn't want to stay here for a moment.

He didn't know what he did wrong, he performed poorly, but why did he still get scolded for his good performance?
He wanted to go back to Orlando. It was so beautiful in Orlando back then. The team, including the media, all revolved around him.

This can't be blamed on Howard, it's really because of his personality. Howard's personality is frank at best, but bad-hearted at worst, and his EQ is too low!
Tang De is also very helpless about this. He really wants to help Howard, but how can a person's character be easily changed?
……

After winning the Spurs at home, the Lakers' locker room was blocked!
Most of the people came here for Tang De!

The NBA is like this, fans always like new things, and it is obvious that Tang De, a Chinese player who suddenly broke out, is the so-called "new thing" for them!
They are used to seeing the performances of various superstars, but in their eyes Tang De is a dark horse, they are full of too much curiosity about Tang De!
"Tang, your performance tonight is really cool. I'm very curious how you managed to explode suddenly?" A female reporter asked.

This female reporter's question is very typical, and it is a question that almost all reporters want to ask.

"I just played tonight, I had a good touch, so I hit some really good shots, and you know, it's the first time in my career that I've started, so I cherish this opportunity, I've been waiting for it This opportunity came along, and I have to thank my coach, Mr. D'Antoni!"

Tang De replied happily, and he didn't forget to brag and praise D'Antoni.

Hearing Tang De praise himself so much, Lao De also showed a long-lost smile on his face!

"Mr. Coach, when did you first realize that Tang has such great potential?"

The reporter's focus shifted from Tang De to D'Antoni!

"Do you want to hear me tell the truth?"

Comrade Lao De began to play tricks.

Tang De, who was sitting by the side, couldn't help but smile, this old guy is really a bit funny.

"Yes, of course we want to hear you tell the truth!"

The reporters are very helpless!

Isn't this nonsense, if you don't listen to the truth, you are listening to lies...

"To be honest, I don't know either. I just know that Don is a very hardworking guy. He usually trains harder than anyone else on the team. You know, it's hard for me to reject a guy who works so hard, so I let him Playing! I believe he can play well!"

"Facts have proved that Tang played really well, maybe I should position him for a new team!"

The last sentence D'Antoni said very seriously...

"Mr. Coach, if this is the case, will you still let Tang continue to play in the starting lineup?"

"Of course, I have already decided that Tang is the team's only starting small forward. I don't want such a guy to be buried any longer!"

In front of the media, D'Antoni praised Tang De all over his face. All the compliments he knew in his life were used on Tang De!

"You are such a D'Antoni, when did you become so talkative?" Tang De complained endlessly in his heart.

D'Antoni's praise made Tang De feel a little embarrassed, but D'Antoni's words, although there is a degree of exaggeration in it, are only good for Tang De, and have no harm.

This is to promote Tang De to the whole world!
Tang De felt that if D'Antoni took the opportunity to ask for a wave of advertising fees, it would be understandable.

Of course this is impossible!

……

In this competition, Tang De made a lot of money, which not only greatly increased his popularity overnight.

More importantly, Tang De scored about 400 points in this game!
Compared with popularity, Tang De now wants points more. As long as there are enough points, popularity is as strong as Tang De wants!

It's just that there is only the last game left in the regular season, and Tang De doesn't have many opportunities to score points!
Unless in the playoffs, how many more games can the Lakers play against the Spurs!
With the Lakers winning and the Rockets losing, the Lakers have secured the No. 7 position in the Western Conference a game earlier, and the Spurs have also secured the No. 2 position in the Western Conference.

So in the first round of the playoffs, it is a foregone conclusion that the Lakers will play against the Spurs!
No one expects the Lakers to win 4 games against the Spurs in a series, including Tang De, after all, the gap in strength is too great!

Tang De even felt that as long as the Spurs lineup is complete, as long as the Lakers can win a game, they will be lucky!

But there is still a dream, what if it comes true?
　Turtle comes to me, is this a good thing or a bad thing?

　　What do you guys think?Can discuss and discuss!
