When Wang Yi asked the team doctor to treat his finger in the physical therapy room, the Warriors had already started a press conference.
After the post-game press conference of the Western Conference Finals tiebreaker, it was different from previous press conferences.
In the past, only two or three people attended press conferences.
However, the post-game press conference of the Western Conference finals tiebreaker will be attended by the head coaches of both teams and the starting players of both teams, and some important substitute players can even be sent to participate.
And they did not participate in waves, but one by one.
Therefore, this press conference will be very long.
It's already 12 o'clock at night. It is estimated that the press conference will end at 1:30 to 2:00.
The first to attend the press conference was the losing Warriors team.
The first person to appear was the head coach of the Warriors.
Reporters asked him some questions, such as what happened to Clay?
Another example is my views on the Kings and Wang Yi.
As for why Clay didn't play in the 4th quarter.
The explanation given by head coach Cole was that Clay had a hamstring strain and it is estimated that it will take 1 to 2 months to recover.
As for his evaluation of Wang Yi, it is very high.
"You also know that I have been in the basketball industry for more than 40 years. I have been teammates with Jordan, assistant coach for Popovich, and head coach for Curry and Durant. I have seen many different styles.
player, but I have never seen a player with such a changeable style like Wang Yi."
"Sometimes he suddenly becomes a rebounder, like tonight he grabbed 26 rebounds. For a guard, this is incredible. Sometimes he is as flexible as an answer, and sometimes he is as fast as Wade.
, but sometimes he can rush into the penalty area like LeBron, and he can even kill everyone in the penalty area like O'Neal. In short, he is a magical guy."
"Being able to lead the Kings to the Finals, there is no doubt about his ability. Look at his scoring. He averaged 47.5 points per game in the Western Conference Finals. This guy is not human at all."
"It would be a great honor for me to coach such a player during my career."
The reporters asked another more difficult question.
"So who do you think is better, him or Stephen Curry?"
Cole has long been accustomed to reporters asking such difficult questions and can handle them with ease.
"At the moment, of course Stephen Curry is more powerful. After all, he already has three rings."
This answer also shows how high Cole's emotional intelligence is.
In fact, everyone knows that with Wang Yi's current personal strength, it will naturally surpass Curry.
But as Curry's head coach, of course he can't say that.
So he changed his perspective and let his championship ring speak for itself.
And he said that currently Curry has three rings. Of course Curry is the best.
But will Wang Yi win the championship in the future? Will he have more rings than Curry?
These are all unknowns.
Being able to answer so perfectly without telling any lies.
This guy is a textbook example of answering reporters’ questions.
After the interview, the reporters felt that he seemed to have said everything, but also seemed to have said nothing at all.
The second person to appear for an interview was Curry.
Reporters asked him to evaluate Wang Yi.
His answer was simple: "He is the most motivated guy I have ever seen."
The reporter didn't give up and asked again: "Coach Cole just said that Wang Yi doesn't have as many rings as you. Does that mean you are stronger than Wang Yi?"
The reporter is obviously stirring up trouble again.
Although Curry knew that the reporter was provoking trouble, his emotional intelligence was not low: "I don't know who is better. Anyway, I defeated him in the Western Conference Finals last year, and he defeated me in the Western Conference Finals this year. That's it."
Curry is already a maniac now, and it is basically impossible to find out anything from him.
Reporters still feel that Curry seems to have said everything, but also seems to have said nothing.
The third person to appear for an interview was Dream Chaser Green.
There is still tape on his nose.
Wang Yi's elbow just now not only broke his nose bone, but also caused trauma.
A young-looking intern reporter in his 20s asked: "On the court just now, there was a lot of physical contact between you and Wang Yi. He even broke your nose bone. Do you still hate him in your heart?"
Green's mouth was wide open, showing his big white teeth, and he laughed:
"He is a very tough guy. I didn't expect this Easterner to be so tough. As for hating him, you think too much. This is just competition on the court. We should not bring competition on the court into life.
In fact, privately I have a very good relationship with Wang."
When he said this, he didn't blush at all.
The reporters asked a second question:
"Wang Yi led the Kings to eliminate the Warriors. In these seven games, he averaged 47.5 points, 14.7 rebounds, 10.3 assists, 5.5 blocks and 4.9 steals per game. How do you evaluate his performance?"
Green replied: "Such a performance is of course exaggerated, very exaggerated. But I want to say one thing, if it is just like this, they will not be able to eliminate us. You also saw that Clay is injured, otherwise we will definitely be eliminated.
It's them."
Loew, the team doctor and bandage master who was treating Wang Yi's injury in the physiotherapy room, saw this and couldn't help but glance at Wang Yi.
When it comes to injuries, which team has no injuries?
If you want to win the championship, in addition to having a certain level of strength in your team, luck is also an important factor.
Therefore, teams that lost in the past basically did not talk about the opponent's luck, because luck was once on your side.
If you talk about luck, it only means you can't afford to lose.
And don’t forget, Wang Yi suffered a broken finger and was eliminated from the Warriors with a broken finger.
If Wang Yi hadn't wanted to keep it a secret, the team doctor and Love would have wanted to make the matter public and slap Green in the face.
Next, several remaining Warriors players and head coach Kerr were interviewed.
Their interviews were very official. The Kings are great, and Wang Yi is great.
For reporters, such praise is of no value.
Next up is the Kings interview.
First there are Hield, Bagley, Holmes, and Barnes.
Then came Danny and Mitchell, and then the team's head coach Walton.
They had only one theme at the press conference - praising Wang Yi.
This does not look like a press conference, but a personal commendation meeting for Wang Yi.
Even Danny, who is usually very afraid of seeing reporters, stuttered during the interview and couldn't hold back a word for a long time. But when the reporters asked, "Can you please evaluate your boss Wang Yi?"
It was still difficult to say a word.
"The boss is very powerful...without him, there would be no current Kings team."
This can be said to be the highest praise for Wang Yi.
After everyone else had attended the press conference, Wang Yi was the last one to appear.
As soon as the reporters came up, they asked a pointed question.
"Green said just now that although you have a lot of physical contact on the court, it is just competition on the court. In private, you have a good relationship. Is that true?"
Chapter completed!
