Chapter 45 Press Conference

The Timberwolves narrowly beat the Trail Blazers, an equally young and energetic team at home, which made Zheng Ke a little overjoyed. While humming a ditty, he wiped his sweaty body with shower gel in the bathroom.

When he came out of the bathroom wrapped in a bath towel, he picked up his phone and looked at it. There were congratulatory text messages from many people, including those from his parents, from Qin Yue, from Zeng Xiaojun, and even from Taylor. This made Zheng Ke very surprised. After all, if a singer can pay attention to his competition in time, does he really regard me as a friend?Zheng Ke leaned against the locker and rubbed his chin, shamelessly thinking about it.

Just when he was thinking wildly, he was suddenly tapped on the shoulder, which scared him so much that he almost missed his phone. He thought it was that brat Gomez, but when he turned his head and was about to get angry, it turned out to be the head coach Whitman. , immediately gave a jolt, and greeted Whitman with a standard military posture: "Hello, coach! Is there anything I can do for you?"

Whitman looked in a good mood, laughed and said, "Don't be nervous, Zheng, join me in the press conference later."

Zheng Ke was shocked. This was the first time he was asked to participate in the post-match press conference. He was a little excited and a little apprehensive, and asked cautiously, "Coach, are you sure?"

After hearing this, Whitman was angry and funny, gave Zheng Ke a shudder, and laughed and scolded: "Nonsense! Come with Al then."

Zheng Ke touched his head aggrievedly, and said, "But I didn't bring a suit?"

Whitman almost fainted out of breath, and he replied helplessly: "You don't even know this? You can dress whatever you want at the press conference after the game, as long as you don't wear big pants, flip-flops and the like. Already!"

Zheng Ke: "."

After the head coach was far away, Gomez immediately imitated Zheng Ke and stood up, and said in a drake voice: "Hello, coach! I want to serve you!" Then with a lewd expression, there was a burst of excitement in the locker room. Hilarious.
Zheng Ke gave Gomez a middle finger in contempt.
Zheng Ke still wore jeans and a down jacket to attend the press conference. His extremely simple attire made him not look like a basketball star at all, but rather like a college student
This is the first time Zheng Ke participated in the post-match press conference. He was taken aback by the long guns and short cannons in front of him. The last sentence was very popular - it really blinded my titanium alloy dog ​​eyes.
These reporters were also very excited. Compared with other players, Zheng Ke is definitely a "special Timberwolves player". The press conference that announced joining the Timberwolves was so small that there were only a few reporters left.
These media reporters who were going to interview him included reporters from major domestic sports media and local media reporters from Minnesota. They seemed to be gearing up to get first-hand information here.

Zheng Ke once again saved the team at a critical moment in this game. He has performed this kind of highlight several times this season. Now this is a quasi lore that shakes away the league's upstart "Yellow Mamba" and hits the buzzer It can be said to be a booster for the Minnesota Timberwolves, whose exposure rate is half-dead. The team naturally hopes to promote more, so Zheng Ke, as the player who scored a key goal in this game, was required to appear in the press conference; Man is also very helpless. In his eyes, Zheng Ke is just a big boy under the age of 20. It is not a good thing for him to praise him too much at this age, so he himself does not want Zheng Ke to participate in the press conference. At least he can procrastinate as long as he can, but I didn't expect Zheng Ke to perform so well, and he would directly kill the lore, so he can't hide it now.
Compared with the excited Minnesota sports media, the domestic reporters are even more crazy. Isn't this crazy?You must know that Yao Ming has never had a quasi-lore or a lore performance after entering the NBA. It is no exaggeration to say that this is the first quasi-lore for a yellow man in the NBA!

The host of the press conference was a young blonde beauty. She looked very calm. After all the generals of the Blazers entered the arena and everyone sat down, it was announced that today's press conference officially started!
Immediately, all the reporters off the field raised their arms as if they had been trained
The reporter of the "Minnesota Chronicle" was the first to be picked. It was a young black man who quickly asked Zheng Ke with his rapping accent: "I have two questions. The first question is Mr. Zheng Ke. What do you think about Roy's final shot of the quasi-lore?, The second question is what do you think of this game?"

It was Roy and head coach Nate McMillan who attended the press conference for the Trail Blazers. As soon as they heard this reporter came up, they exposed their scars, and their faces turned green with anger
Zheng Ke breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that they were quite reliable. They didn't ask some outrageous questions. He sorted out his thoughts and said, "It feels good to hit a quasi-killer goal. At that time, the goal can be scored. I think luck has a lot to do with it, and anyone who has watched me play knows that my mid-range shooting ability is as poor as that of a primary school student."

Hehe, all the reporters laughed in good faith, and Roy and Nate-McMillan looked a little better.Whitman sat aside and nodded frequently: The Chinese are smart. Yao Ming and Zheng Ke are very good at answering the media. I heard that the Chinese power forward Yi in Milwaukee also answered the media's questions seamlessly.

Zheng Ke continued to answer: "As for the opinion of this game, I think our brothers in the Timberwolves played very well. Jefferson hit a lot of balls. His stable performance and super firepower are the biggest things we can win. Hero."

After Zheng Ke finished answering the questions, the reporter from the "Minnesota Chronicle" sat down with satisfaction.The host continued to select reporters to ask questions. This time she selected the yellow-skinned reporter with the largest number of people—a reporter from the Chinese Imperial TV Station. It was a young female reporter with a ponytail. After she was selected, she naturally asked Zheng Ke questions. : "Mr. Zheng Ke, you are the first Chinese player to hit a quasi-lore ball in the NBA. Yao Ming has not been able to do it yet. Can you tell me about this feeling?"

Zheng Ke laughed, his eyes were bent into a crescent moon, and he replied: "I feel very honored to be the first Chinese to hit a quasi-lore shot in the NBA. The number of our Chinese players coming to the NBA is not very large. , the time is not very long, I just just encountered this kind of opportunity, if Dayao is in my position, I think he will do better than me. Of course, I think that with the continuous improvement of our country's basketball level, There will be more and more Chinese players coming to the NBA in the future, and I hope that they will also be able to make lore shots or something."

Of course the host knew that this post-match press conference could not be turned into Zheng Ke's personal press conference. She had already found the next media reporter to answer the question when Zheng Ke was answering the question.

This is a reporter from the "Portland Sports News" who traveled with the Trail Blazers. After being named, he really lived up to the host's entrustment, and immediately asked the Trail Blazers star Roy: "May I ask Brandon Roy?" Mr. Yi, you chose a three-pointer for the last shot, but you failed to make it, what caused it?"

Roy knew that they were going to ask him about the last shot, and he was already prepared, saying: "It is indeed my fault that the ball didn't make the shot. My sight was off. Of course, it was also because of Zheng Ke's defense. K's defense is in place, he's a great defender."

The Chinese reporter listening to the side heard the word Zheng Ke, and immediately pricked up his ears. Hearing what Roy said, he immediately wrote down the following passage in a small notebook with a smile on his face: "Roy, the leader of the Blazers, praised Zheng Ke's defense. outstanding."

The press conference was still going on in an orderly manner, and Zheng Ke took another step towards becoming a superstar.
