In the post-match press conference,

Billups became the focus of heated discussion.

"In this game, Chauncey took a lot of shots from beyond the three-point line, five of which were when the defenders were not out of position.

Such unreasonable offensive choices were extremely rare even in the early stages of Chauncey's career.

Why did this happen after he joined the Trail Blazers? Was it your intention?"At the press conference two days ago, Jerry from the New York Times almost fell into Tang Feng's trap.

He was naturally unhappy, and this unhappiness turned into a more sharp question at the press conference.

Facing Jerry's firing, Tang Feng did not show him any mercy, and snorted coldly,"Unreasonable offensive choices? In these five shots, Chauncey made three shots and scored 9 points! Five shots to score 9 points, such efficiency, you actually said it is unreasonable! Then, please tell me, what is reasonable?!!"

"This is just good luck! As a point guard, his task on the court is to connect the team and organize the team's offense.��、Reasonable personal offense, balance between personal offense and organizing the team, instead of this kind of indiscriminate shooting that destroys the team's overall offense. Scoring 33 points but only having two assists, this kind of performance, in my opinion, is simply terrible."Jerry said tit for tat.

Tang Feng sneered and said,"Luck? Terrible? Haha.

What is the ultimate goal of offense? Score! Get more points than the opponent and win the game!

Who stipulated that the point guard must have a lot of assists?

When a player is in a hot hand, blindly restrict him with your so-called rules and regulations, and force him to achieve a balance between personal offense and blocking the team. Frankly speaking, this is disrespect for the players, and also for the fans and the game!

Our fans pay out of their own pockets to watch the game, not to see what you call reasonable.

The game is exciting enough, and they can win and have a good night. Is there anything better than this?"

"Humph, it's just luck that we won a preseason game. Looking at the entire league, only your brand new team with no background takes the preseason so seriously. When the regular season starts, you will taste the bitterness."Jerry snorted coldly.

"A team without any foundation? Haha, are you talking about the Trail Blazers?!!"

When he said this, Tang Feng suddenly stood up and shouted angrily with a cold face:"The Trail Blazers, who have a glorious history of 42 years and won the O'Brien Cup as early as 1977, have become a team without any foundation in your eyes!

I don't know if this is your point of view or the New York Times' point of view. If it is your point of view, then from now on, the Rose Garden Arena will no longer welcome you.

If it is the New York Times' point of view, then this arena will no longer welcome the New York Times, and I will no longer accept any interviews from any New York Times reporters!"

After speaking, Tang Feng, with an angry face, strode out.

At this time, Jerry was also anxious and shouted loudly:"You are changing the concept! I am talking about the current Trail Blazers!"

Tang Feng turned around suddenly, glared at Jerry, and said coldly:"Let's not talk about whether I have changed the concept.

Just talk about the current Trail Blazers.

Scottie, Sabonis, Rasheed, they have been fighting for the Trail Blazers for many years. In this arena, they have defeated teams one after another, defended the honor of this arena, and left too many classic moments. In your eyes, these are so insignificant?!!

No foundation?!!

Just six words, they wiped out their efforts for so many years?!! Who do you think you are?!!

Get out of this arena! From now on, you will be blacklisted in this arena!"

"Humph! Who do you think you are! You are just a puppet, you don't have the right or qualification!" Jerry's face was extremely ugly, pointing at Tang Feng and shouting angrily.

At this time, Tang Feng had already walked away without looking back.

At the same time, two security guards walked towards Jerry who was still roaring there with serious expressions, and carried Jerry away from the press conference.

Seeing this scene, the press conference site also became lively.

"Tang's reaction was too intense!"

"Oh my god, did I hear that correctly? Tang is challenging the New York Times?!!"

"No! Tang is using this incident to warn everyone that there should be a limit to the criticism and discussion of the pioneers. At least, that's what I think."

"I can understand his approach! He had enough of the criticism and questioning for a whole summer! He had been waiting for an opportunity! And tonight, Jerry took the initiative to give him this opportunity! This is Tang's counterattack! A sharp and perfect counterattack!"

"Jerry is done! This matter has become a big deal! Regardless of whether Tang is a puppet or not, the Blazers will come out to support him! Because, just now, Tang defended the honor of the Blazers! A team without any foundation? It's a pity that he can say that!"

"Proud New Yorkers paid a price tonight! A terrible price! And it will also affect the New York Times!"

"Yes, Jerry was at fault in this matter. If Tang hadn't responded, it would have been over! But things have come to this point, and Jerry is doomed to be a tragedy! It all depends on the reaction of the New York Times!"

"To be honest, I am looking forward to the New York Times's reaction! Jerry's dismissal is inevitable. What I am concerned about is what Tang mentioned. If this is the New York Times's opinion, he will no longer accept interviews from any New York Times reporter!

Do you think the New York Times will issue a statement on this and put all the blame on Jerry?"

"Isn't this a disguised way of bowing to Tang? In my opinion, the New York Times will not do this."

"Whether they do it or not, they lose in this matter."

"No, you are wrong. You underestimated the New York Times. They will not give in and compromise. It is even possible that Jerry himself will not be fired but will be promoted."

"Yes, I think so too. The New York Times will not bow its head. From their perspective, perhaps, they do not think they are wrong."...

Ten minutes later, an article was published on the official website of the Trail Blazers.

The title was: A team without foundation?

The article was not long and there was no polishing.

It just wrote down the conversation between Tang Feng and Jerry in words, nothing more.

That night, the New York Times remained silent.

The next day, major sports newspapers across the United States once again gave the Trail Blazers the headlines.

Of course, the Trail Blazers' victory was just mentioned in passing, and the conflict at the press conference was the focus.

The New York Times, which had been silent until noon, issued a statement.

It said that Jerry was just exercising the most basic rights of a reporter, and he made a slip of the tongue and said the wrong thing, and Jerry didn't mean that. As a result, Tang Feng caught him and provoked trouble.

And he said very strongly that until Tang Feng apologized, the New York Times would no longer report any news related to Tang Feng and the Trail Blazers.

This incident naturally attracted widespread attention and discussion, some supported Tang Feng, and some supported the New York Times.
