NBA: Start the water cooler and reach the Hall of Fame

On the afternoon of April 2010th, 4, the much-anticipated battle for the title of the March Madness Championship was about to begin.

Due to the earth-shattering article in the "Washington Post", the pre-match press conference in the afternoon became the second highlight of the game after the championship!

The big and famous media in America all sent their own reporters. As soon as the press conference was set up, a large group of reporters and photographers set up video and recording equipment at the venue.

Such a big movement shocked the staff in charge of security at the scene!

what's the situation?

Those who didn't know thought Obama's inaugural speech was read here!

Due to the huge flow of people at the scene, the security personnel had to temporarily deploy additional staff to ensure the order and safety of the press conference.

An hour before the press conference started, the scene was full of reporters from various famous media, many of them were late, or the seats were not big enough, so they could only stand in those corners without even a chair .

But no one complained, because they knew that they came here today not to enjoy life, but to make a big news!

Compared with the big news, it doesn't matter what seat or not!

……

In such a warm atmosphere, the time for the pre-match press conference has finally arrived!

Coach K from Duke University led Jon Schell and Kyle Singler into the press conference first!

When Kyle Singler saw that there were so many people at the press conference, he couldn't help but swear.

"Hold the grass? Why are there so many reporters today?"

Jon Schell next to him seemed relatively calm. He curled his lips coolly, then shook his head and said, "Is there even a question? Everyone must be optimistic about us winning the championship!"

Singler was taken aback for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

The old coach K who was walking in front deliberately put on a straight face, and whispered a lesson to his two disciples.

"Today there are too many reporters, so don't talk later, if you don't know how to answer, don't talk, let me do it!"

Based on his experience, he had never seen such a scene in the NCAA finals, so he naturally paid [-] points, for fear that his own players would say something wrong in front of the reporters.

The three of them, one in front and two behind, slowly walked into the scene of the press conference.

The photographers at the scene immediately aimed their cameras at this side, and most of the reporters were also eager to move, for fear of being preempted by others.

Seeing how excited these reporters were, Kyle Singler couldn't help puffing out his chest to make himself look more upright.

Jon Schell on the one side, although he said dismissively, secretly held his head high, so as to make a good impression on the reporters and photographers!

The three of them just walked to the conference table at Duke University and sat down.

When Coach K was about to make an opening remark into the microphone, suddenly all the reporters and photographers rushed towards the direction they came from!

A few reporters even tripped over the equipment lines of other teams and almost fell to the ground!

Old Coach K:?

Jon Schell: ?

Kyle Singler: ?

The three of them immediately looked towards the reporter's target, and when their eyes shifted to the other side, the minds of the three master and apprentice went down instantly!

It turned out that at some point, Pastner came out with Li Kaiming and Elliott Williams, and sat on the table at the University of Memphis on the other side of the venue!

Seeing those reporters heading towards the University of Memphis like wild dogs that smelled fishy, ​​Kyle Singler swallowed and asked inexplicably, "What's going on?"

The well-informed old K was also shocked by this battle. After staring blankly for a long time with his mouth open, he came back to his senses and stared at Jon Schell beside him, "Jon ,Do you know why?"

Although Jon Schell was also taken aback by this scene, he still maintained his basic composure. After thinking for a while, he found the answer in his mind, "It seems that some media said there was a fight in the Memphis locker room?"

Old Coach K: ...

On the other side of the venue, at the table of the University of Memphis.

As soon as Li Kaiming took his seat, more than a dozen reporters began to ask questions one by one.

"Lee, what did you think of that Washington Post article?"

"Lee, is it true that the Tigers have infighting?"

"Li, are you really the illegitimate son of the director of athletics at the University of Memphis?"

……

This messy question was thrown up all at once, which made Li Kaiming, who is more patient, feel a little dizzy for a while!

Especially what is that illegitimate child?

There were quite a few reporters in front of Pastner. He pressed his arms down in the air, and then said loudly, "My friends, if you have any questions, let's come one by one. Today's press conference, you will know what you want to know. everything!"

As soon as this remark came out, the reporters at the scene fell silent.

Here are big and famous media, not paparazzi at roadside stalls, and they still have basic professionalism. After hearing Pastner's words, they returned to their respective positions.

Seeing that the scene has temporarily restored order, Pastner nodded, "Okay, the first question today, who will come first?"

As soon as the words fell, all the reporters in the audience raised their hands!

Pastner looked around, and finally clicked on a CBS reporter. After all, CBS is the official broadcaster of the NCAA, so we still have to give the face that should be given.

Seeing that he had got the quota for the first question, the cbs reporter immediately stood up and asked the first question.

"Coach Josh Pastner, what do you think of the article that was published in the Washington Post today?"

CBS is worthy of being a big media, and the literacy of the reporters is also first-class. The first question asked the aspirations of all the reporters present!

Pastner replied into the microphone, "I only saw that article not long ago, and to be honest, the article is well written!"

Hearing Pastner's comments, the whole scene erupted into discussions in an instant!

Pastner actually thinks the article is well written?It seems that Memphis has internal strife in all likelihood!

Seeing that the order at the scene was at risk of getting out of control again, Pastner immediately went on to explain, "I'm right, I mean from the author's point of view, it's well written!"

The audience fell silent again.

Pastner's expression didn't change at all. He continued, "Mr. Lawrence is well versed in the way of taking words out of context, and he is a master of rhythm. From the current point of view, his goal has been achieved!"

The CBS reporter continued to ask, "So, do you think the words in the article are all untrue?"

Pastner shook his head and smiled, "Letting Li Kaiming start is the result of discussions between me and the coaching staff, and you have seen the effect of his starting. Could it be that he can't start?"

The reporters at the scene were silent. Yes, if a player of Li Kaiming's level is allowed to play as a substitute, that would be the real big news!

Seeing that the first answer worked well, Pastner continued while the iron was hot, "As for what Mr. Lawrence said, I suppressed other players of the Tigers and let Li Kaiming play more shots. That is even more nonsense!"

Pastner's next words made the entire press conference quiet.

"It is true that Li Kaiming took the most shots, but his efficiency is also the highest in the team. Mr. Lawrence didn't mention this!"

"If a player can take more shots and still be more efficient than everyone else, why not let him take more shots?"

"If the Tigers have other players with higher efficiency than Li Kaiming, I can make him take more shots than Li Kaiming!"

"The second update arrived today, thank you for your support!"
