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

As soon as Pastner's words came out, the discussions at the scene immediately became much quieter.

The reporters present were veterans who had been working in the media field for many years, so they naturally understood what Pastner meant.

Even if you don't understand the operation logic of the media, as long as you have a basic understanding of basketball games and think about it, you will understand that there is nothing wrong with what Pastner said.

In a basketball game, the ultimate goal is to score higher than others.

In this case, whoever can get more points with fewer times will naturally get more shots!

As long as the ultimate goal of a team is to win, the ball will naturally go to the most efficient person!

Lawrence's article, so far, clearly focused on Li Kaiming's number of shots on purpose, completely ignoring the fact that his efficiency is also the highest in the team.

The analysis of this kind of private goods, after Pastner's explanation, the reporters also understood that Lawrence deliberately rubbed off on the hot spots of the University of Memphis in order to create a big news!

Seeing that the reporters at the scene no longer raised any objections to this topic, Pastner couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief!

This public opinion crisis is the biggest public relations crisis he has encountered since he took office. Leonard, the director of the school's sports department, also called as soon as he got the news, asking about related matters.

After receiving Pastner's explanation, Leonard also said that the school will do its best to help the Tigers get rid of this crisis of public opinion!

This is also the reason why the University of Memphis officials can still firmly stand on the Tigers when the public opinion is the most fierce.

While thinking about this, in the middle of the venue, a white female reporter raised her hand again!

Pastner sorted out his thoughts, and then signaled the reporter to ask questions.

"I ask Coach Josh Pastner, is there really infighting in the Tigers' locker room?"

Pastner smiled, shook his head and said relaxedly, "Mr. Lawrence seems to be looking forward to this becoming a reality, but I can be sure that our team is very united!"

The reporters at the scene all laughed.

As colleagues, they can naturally see that this Lawrence has already set his own position before writing the manuscript, which is why the viewpoint of the whole article looks so extreme!

Of course, this is also the reason why this article can cause widespread discussion!

Headline parties and crooked buttocks are certainly hateful, but in the media field, this technique is tried and tested.

Pastner's humorous reply made the atmosphere a little more relaxed.

But the face of the female reporter who asked the question did not change at all. She first recorded something in the notebook, then raised her head and asked a question that made the scene fall into silence again.

"Then, Coach Pastner, how do you explain the negative emotions shown by Willie Kemp and Elliott Williams in the game? Especially when Li Kaiming made consecutive shots at the end of the quarter, their expressions were obviously very dissatisfied! "

At the scene of the press conference, dozens of pairs of eyes were staring at Pastner sitting in front of the table, and some people also pointed their cameras at Li Kaiming and Williams next to them.

This is a big hot spot!

The reason why Lawrence's article is believed by so many people is that besides his excellent spring and autumn brushwork, he also added descriptions that are both true and false in the article.

For example, in those enlarged photos, anyone with a discerning eye can tell that Kemp and Williams are very dissatisfied with Li Kaiming's shot like a lone wolf!

Being stared at by dozens of pairs of eyes, Pastner's forehead couldn't help but ooze cold sweat!

If this question is not answered well, it will be a huge blow to the morale of the Tigers!

Even if they are clear in their hearts and there is nothing wrong with their locker room, but when the rest of the world thinks you have a problem, you have to have a problem if you don't have a problem!

This is the horror of public opinion!

What's more, tonight is the most important championship game. If the Tigers lose the championship because of this problem not being explained clearly, Pastner will have nowhere to cry!

Pastner thought for a long time before slowly opening his mouth, "Williekamp and Elliott Williams did have some negative emotions during the game..."

As soon as this sentence came out, the reporters at the scene subconsciously pushed the microphone forward a little bit.

The Tigers really have big news!

Pastner looked at the expectant eyes of those reporters, and then suddenly changed his tone, "However, this was my mistake, and I have already explained it clearly to them in the locker room after the game!"

The reporters are confused!

Why was it Pastner's mistake?

Seeing that the reporters were very confused, Pastner continued to explain, "When the game entered the fourth quarter, I found that Li Kaiming's touch was very good that night. Normally I would not let him shoot in the middle distance, but Not only did he hit a ton of hooks in that game, but he was devastating against Butler from the outside of the paint!"

He paused, and then continued, "So with a few minutes left in the fourth quarter, when a timeout was about to end, I had a sudden idea to ask Li Kaiming to take as many shots as possible in the next time! In this way, we may win the game. The final result shows that my choice is correct, and Lee did not let me down."

The female reporter continued to ask, "Then why did Willie Kemp and Elliott Williams seem to be ignorant of this matter?"

Pastner smiled wryly, "That's why I said it was my mistake, because this matter was my temporary idea, the timeout for that meeting has passed, Willie and Elliott have already played, so I can only pull Ask Li Kaiming to tell him! If you don’t believe me, you can watch the video of the game!”

The female reporter quickly recorded it in the notebook, then nodded and said, "Thank you, I will ask someone to verify it!"

Pastner's explanation sounds very sincere, because few NCAA coaches take the problem on themselves.

The next interview with Pastner was relatively easy, and the reporters asked some things about tonight's championship game.

Pastner also milked Duke University and the old coach K in accordance with the tradition.

Afterwards, the reporters turned their attention to Li Kaiming again and asked him his opinion on the turmoil.

Li Kaiming broke the microphone with his hand, put it at a suitable angle, and then said: "I don't know who this Mr. Lawrence is from, but I can tell everyone responsibly that the news of the infighting this time is caused by someone Pushed behind the scenes!"

As soon as this statement came out, the whole audience was shocked!

All the reporters once again focused on Li Kaiming.

Li Kaiming looked around, and then said decisively, "I won't repeat the writing technique of this Mr. Lawrence. Everyone has their own conclusions about it, but what I want to say is another matter!"

The reporters were so happy that they couldn't keep their mouths shut. They thought that the press conference would be full of thunder and rain, so it just passed away. Unexpectedly, Li Kaiming actually dropped a blockbuster!

"After this article was published, a large number of people came to my twitter comment area and began to maliciously attack me, but after I checked carefully, I found that these accounts were almost all new accounts, most of them had no avatars, no I posted tweets myself, and I didn’t bookmark them, and the comments under the accounts are the first comments since these accounts were created…”

After the reporters were still thinking about what Li Kaiming meant, the latter continued, "The most important thing is that none of the accounts that are very active in this internal strife are my old fans, and they all followed me recently. , because I set up my account, you can only comment if you follow me..."

The reporters at the scene suddenly realized, no wonder Li Kaiming said that this was premeditated, it was too obvious!

"Today's first update, thank you for your support!"
