Chapter 281
"Hello, Roy, I'm a reporter from The Washington Post. I interviewed Spurs head coach Popovich yesterday. He spoke highly of you, but he thinks an inside player shouldn't just focus on the outside. A team that relies solely on luck won't go far. The Nets should reflect on this style of play."
Looking at another weird question, Roy was a little speechless.
"First of all, I personally respect Popovich. I haven't read this interview. Thank you for your advice, but I'm sorry I don't want to change. Luck alone may not go far, but I've already reached Game 7 in the finals, which shows that luck still has some effect. As for whether this style of play is worth reflecting on, I'm not sure. I only know that we used this style of play to beat the Spurs in three games. His advice is very good. I hope he won't mention it next time."
Roy's answer made the Washington Post reporter roll his eyes. When it comes to yin and yang, this guy will definitely be a goat in the future.
"Hello, I'm..."
...
The interview lasted for nearly half an hour, and the group of reporters with bad intentions were asked to leave by the security guards after the Nets manager arrived.
Although they were still not satisfied, after combining all the interviews, everyone came to a conclusion.
This young man from China was unwilling to take any loss and was good at being sarcastic, which made many reporters angry.
But because of this, all the reporters became more excited.
An interview with personality, shocking words, and better eye-catching than the media, is definitely the best for the sales of newspapers and magazines.
Although the interview was not long, the content was rich.
The Nets general manager Droshon looked at his pillar with a complicated expression.
He has a flamboyant personality, is vindictive, and dares to confront anyone.
If he is right, a storm is coming.
But now that things have come to this, he didn't say anything. From a personal point of view, he appreciates this kind of interview.
Roy's interview is full of charm and sharpness. The most important thing is that it is really fun to confront.
In fact, these media raids are also helpless.
The Spurs, who were highly expected, led 3-1, but were stubbornly tied to 3-3 by the opponent.
When they lost on the road, they used the excuse of wanting to return to their home court to win the championship.
But you didn't defend at home. What the hell, when nearly 90% of the media are optimistic, isn't this a slap in the face?
Roy, who was called arrogant by the media, seems to be not just talking nonsense, but fulfilling his promise step by step.
These people urgently need an interview and black material to re-characterize Roy, otherwise everyone will be embarrassed.
Duncan, known as the No. 1 power forward in history, was hammered under the basket.
Ginobili and Parker, known as the top three backcourt combinations in the league, often make mistakes in the game.
The substitute lineup, known as the league's deepest bench, has no advantage in front of the Nets' seven-man rotation.
Popovich, known as the champion coach In the next few games, the young coach Frank repeatedly overturned the game.
How can these media hype this? Every time they make a prediction, they get slapped in the face.
Now both sides of his face are swollen.
If you don't do your best, some media will turn against you. Some media have helped the Nets to vindicate themselves, but these are still a minority.
More media still use black materials to ensure their authority.
In the traditional paper media industry, everything is written in black and white.
Since the prediction was unsuccessful, they will add more information during the interview to ensure that they appear to be standing on the moral high ground.
Roy didn't care at all. After chatting with the team manager for a few words, he got up and went home.
Sure enough, the next day, the front-page headlines of major mainstream media had already hit Roy and the Nets in the face.
"Disrespect for predecessors", "arrogant", "arrogant" and other big hats were thrown one by one.
At the same time, the Spurs coach also saw Roy's response to his comments. He was so angry that he tore the newspaper to pieces. Looking at the players on the training ground, the veins on his forehead jumped. He must teach this bad boy a lesson that will be remembered forever! "After the regular training, practice for an extra hour!" Popovich stood on the sidelines and announced this gratifying decision to the players on the field. The Spurs players were confused and had black question marks on their faces. It was the bad boy on the opposite side who provoked you. Why are you venting your anger on us? But no one dared to speak. Popovich's authority was there, and no one wanted to get frustrated. Everyone was holding back a fire in their hearts. The Nets, right? The genius boy, right? You wait for me! The Spurs players who were training on the field were extremely hard-working. In addition to the coach's reasons, the bigger reason was the shame of losing two games in a row. Originally,The championship in his pocket was about to fly away, with a strong sense of crisis.
With a score of 3 to 3, no one could retreat.
In the last two days, both sides were making careful preparations.
After recovery training, Kidd finally returned to the group confrontation he had been thinking about.
But everyone found that Kidd's condition was not right.
At least Yuan was not as flexible as before the injury, especially in terms of footwork, and obviously could not keep up with Arroyo who was facing him.
Everyone thought that he had not yet fully adapted to this intensity,
But Roy did not think so. Kidd had only rested for about a week at most,
It was not that he was absent for a long time, which would cause him to be uncomfortable on the court,
Kidd's current state level is completely different from before,
There must be a problem in the middle,
After Roy's careful observation, he became more and more certain that Kidd must be hiding something from everyone,
In order to verify this guess, Roy followed Kidd when he went to the bathroom,
After making sure that no one followed him, Roy saw Kidd limping at the bathroom door,
"Jason, you shouldn't You should hide it from the coach, let alone from us. Your injury has not recovered at all. "
Kidd knew he couldn't pretend any longer.
"Roy, I need you to help me hide this secret. I don't want to sit on the sidelines in a suit and do nothing in the next game. I know my injury well. It's impossible to recover completely in a short time, but the game can't wait. I have to fight. Besides, you saw that I can barely run. "
Kidd's pleading eyes made Roy feel stuffy and blocked in his chest.
Roy couldn't refuse a man's request. It was obvious that Kidd had even made plans to gamble his career.
Kidd gritted his teeth and reluctantly followed the training despite his injury. The answer was self-evident.
He wanted to make some contribution in the next game, even if it was a small contribution.
Roy was speechless and could only nod heavily.
No one could change the decision made by the stubborn old man.
The only thing Roy could do was to lead the team to stay in the lead in the next game and finish the game without using Kidd as much as possible.
