Chapter 38 Media Open Day
The next day was the media open day chosen by the Spurs. NBA officials asked each team to choose a day to open the training hall to the media for interviews. Popovich also arranged the last training session before the game against the Clippers on that day. Morning.

Often the team will choose the media open day by itself, and it will last for more than a few days, but for a team like the Spurs who don't like the media to disturb, if this requirement is not mandatory, with Popovich's character, it is estimated that the bird will Not a bird.

Because the Spurs are very perfunctory about the media open day, there is no curtain in the training hall, and there is not even an interview position.

Some just opened the doors of the training hall for the media reporters, and gave them the latest time to leave. This made the media reporters very dissatisfied, and they all expressed that they would sue Stern for the Spurs.

But Popovich is not afraid of this at all, and the NBA can't blame him much. At most, he will be fined some money, and the management will help to pay.

There are a lot of reporters interviewing me, and there are quite a few Leonards, but why is Popovich the most?
Yang Ke was wearing a brand-new training uniform. Although he knew that today was the media open day, he did not dress up meticulously and kept the same appearance as in previous training.There were at least a dozen reporters standing in front of him, and they were either holding mobile phones or more advanced recording pens.

"Yang, what do you think about Mr. Chris' objection, veto, and the relationship between you and Emma Watson?"

A male reporter from the Los Angeles Times standing in the front was the first to ask the question. It seemed that he had a relatively high status in his circle of reporters.

"Sorry, today is the Spurs' media open day, I don't accept, publish, any non-basketball-related questions. Thanks, next one."

Yang Ke said with a smile, since Chris spoke, he has been unable to contact Emma Watson, so in order to prevent wrong words, he will not have any questions about such issues until he communicates with Emma. positive reply.

The male reporter frowned and asked without giving up: "Yang, are you trying to avoid answering?"

Facing the male reporter's further questioning, Yang Ke smiled and asked calmly: "I'm just telling the facts, I think the reason why I asked you to come to the training hall for interviews is not to make you ask questions that are not related to basketball, right? ?”

"Very good, Yang, I remember you."

He took a deep look at Yang Ke, turned off the recording on the phone, and the male reporter dropped a sentence, then turned around and left with the phone, and walked directly in the direction of the three of GDP.

And as the male reporter took the lead to leave, the reporters around the front also realized that they couldn't get the answers they wanted, so they put away the equipment they were holding, turned around and left.

In just a moment, more than half of the reporters gathered in front of Yang Ke dispersed, and most of the remaining Asian reporters with the same skin color.

"You stopped taking notes today?"

For the departure of more than half of the reporters, the exposure has been greatly reduced, or it was affected by the Spurs' attitude towards reporters.Yang Ke didn't care at all, but looked at Li Qiuxue among the Asian reporters in front of him with great interest, and said with a smile.

When Yang Ke said this, Li Qiuxue blushed in embarrassment, and then rolled her eyes at Yang Ke.

He pretended to cough twice, and then stretched out his mobile phone: "Can I start the interview?"

Yang Ke's face became weird. Thinking of the questions she asked when she was interviewed by Li Qiuxue in the player tunnel not long ago, he smiled and said, "Of course, but I hope that your questions can also improve."

"Of course, I'm very smart."

Li Qiuxue glared at Yang Ke with some shame, and at the same time said confidently that she was fully prepared this time, not in a hurry like last time.

Then I asked Yang Ke if he was used to life in San Antonio, how his relationship with his teammates was, whether there were any conflicts, whether the head coach Popovich was as vicious as uploaded on the Internet...

Yang Ke answered her questions one by one. After Li Qiuxue finished asking, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

I have to say that the questions Li Qiuxue asked were not nutritious, but thankfully they have improved a lot compared to the last time, at least they were related to basketball. Last time, they asked all the questions that had nothing to do with basketball.

"Thank you!"

Every question was answered without hesitation, Li Qiuxue was very happy, she took back the phone with a smirk, thanked Yang Ke, turned around holding the phone excitedly, and trotted away.

Looking at the back of Li Qiuxue leaving, Yang Ke shook his head with a wry smile. He was indeed a newcomer reporter. How much he wanted to tell Li Qiuxue: "Beauty, if you ask me this way, even if I answer all of them intentionally, I won't make it into the newspaper." of the sports section.

"Sorry, Yang Ke, can you start my interview?"

Seeing Li Qiuxue who had been asking non-stop before finally leaving, a male media reporter from China stepped forward and asked.

"Of course, you can ask."

Yang Ke turned his head with a smile, and glanced at the reporter's card, HBM TV station, Jin Zhicheng.

"Yang Ke, I heard that you have rejected endorsement invitations from all domestic companies. May I ask why?"

Hearing this question, Yang Ke frowned subconsciously, and repeated what he had just said, "Sorry, I just said that today I will not accept or publish issues that have nothing to do with basketball."

Hearing what Yang Ke said, Jin Zhicheng laughed twice, and asked back: "Yang Ke, I can be regarded as your senior, so you use this sentence to perfuse me?"

Squinting his eyes slightly, Yang Ke could see that Jin Zhicheng had not heard what he said to the American reporter just now, but came here with malicious intentions.

Glancing at the remaining HBM reporters headed by Jin Zhicheng, Yang Ke calmly glanced at the phone in front of him with the recording function turned on, and then said cautiously: "I'm sorry, this is the head coach's opening session. I cannot change the rules set by journalists during interviews."

"Well, then I don't have anything to ask."

Seeing that Yang Ke was vigilant and not fooled, Jin Zhicheng simply put away his mobile phone, turned around and left with his companions, not to the other players, but to the training hall directly.

Yang Ke was very confused by Jin Zhicheng's nonsense, but he still called Elvers cautiously and asked him to pay attention to the situation in Huaguo.

Later, Yang Ke found that after Jin Zhicheng left with the few media reporters from Huaguo, there were no reporters in front of him.

Staring blankly at the other teammates who were still surrounded by reporters, Yang Ke clearly realized that it seemed that his interview ended here today. After careful calculation, he accepted a relatively formal interview by Li Qiuxue. It's all inexplicable.

Shaking his head, Yang Ke turned around and walked towards the instrument room. Since he had finished the interview, he should go back to training. You must know that there will be a fierce battle with the Clippers tomorrow night.

This season, under Stern's intervention, Chris Paul failed to join the Lakers, so he could only retreat to the Clippers.

But because of this, Paul, Griffin and Billups, this combination of the Big Three has made the Clippers a strong team in the league, and the Clippers have played the banner of the championship in the new season.

The Clippers beat the Warriors in the first game. Griffin, Paul and Billups all scored 20+, which had to make the entire Spurs pay attention to this.
