The curtain fell, and the Warriors ended their 04-05 season. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The familiar old song "Remember the name" sounded in the stadium again, the changing incandescent lights shone, the sweat of a season fell, and the applause was thunderous.
Yang Di hugged all his teammates one by one, and the cameras around him were focused on him.
Montgomery's face was relieved, although the loss to the Spurs, but also relatively relieved the pressure, this season, for him, is also a unique season, the first time to coach a professional team, a different experience on the road of life.
"In the summer, relax and don't tire yourself too much." Montgomery and Yang Di said.
Yang Di nodded: "Coach, you also take a break, you are the hardest this season." ā
"I remember you didn't seem to have made it to your country's national team, did you?" Montgomery suddenly thought about it and asked.
Yang Di was stunned for a moment and nodded: "That's right." ā
"Okay." Montgomery smiled instead, "If you go to the national team, it will increase your fatigue, and if you don't have the national team in the summer, I believe you can be in better shape for next season." ā
"I'm going to work on my low-post technique and shooting in the sport." Yang Di thought about it and said to Montgomery.
"It's good, these skills are advanced skills that basketball players need to master, and many players practice these to the extreme, and the offensive means are more abundant."
"Next season, I want to go further and I have to find a way to beat Tim Duncan." Yang Di gritted his teeth, his face was still a little unconvinced.
"Well, it's best to combine work and rest." Montgomery said.
Yang Di came to the sidelines again, and General Manager Mu Lin also opened his arms and hugged him.
"Excellent season, your achievements are obvious to all, congratulations, Yang Di, you can also start a splendid long vacation." Mullin patted Yang Di on the back.
"Thank you, Manager Mullin, for the help you have given me."
"Rest well and keep going next season."
On the side, team owner Chris Cohan also shook hands with Yang Di, and then the two hugged lightly.
Yang Di and Kehan didn't have much contact, but he also knew that this polite old man was the one who paid his salary, and he always had a warm smile on his face.
"Yang Di, I like your performance very much, and I also like China."
Yang Di raised his eyebrows, and finally a smile appeared on his face, "You can come to China to have fun in the summer, and I plan to return to China for a period of time this summer." ā
"Wow, that's pretty cool, if I'm going to visit China, I'm going to visit you."
"No problem."
The Spurs players also came over and hugged the Warriors players one by one, in addition to Duncan, Parker, Ginobili and others also took the initiative to find Yang Di and hugged Yang Di.
On the sidelines, Anne and Tang Xinran choked with tears, the warm scene, after the passionate game, it was this touching scene.
Yang Di waved his hand, and at least half of the eyes of the fans in the Bay Area were on him, and the applause did not stop for a second since the end of the game.
"Come on, Yang Di!"
"Come on, you've done a great job, we'll come back next season!"
The camera follows him, the huge back of the number 8, and finally walks into the players' tunnel and then disappears.......
.......
Dressing room.
Montgomery pushed the door open and walked in.
The Warriors' players were still communicating with each other, Yang Di was taking a shower in the bathroom, and Montgomery looked around and didn't see where Yang Di's people were.
"Where's Yang Di?"
"In the shower." Derek Fisher gave Montgomery a back call.
As soon as the words fell, Yang Di walked out of the bathroom wearing a big pants, his upper body was wet, and the hideous faucet on his chest opened his mouth.
"Yang Di, go to the press conference with me."
Montgomery just left the sentence and walked out first.
Yang Di opened his mouth, and suddenly felt two inexplicable gazes behind him, and then one became deep, and the other became relieved.
He picked up the clothes for the chair and put himself on, quickly changed his clothes and put on his sneakers.
Fisher passed by him, smiled kindly, and patted him lightly on the back.
Yang Di stood up, and then walked out of the locker room door.
In the locker room, several players had a look of surprise in their eyes.
Richardson's eyes were complicated, and after packing his package, he also followed Yang Di out of the door of the locker room without talking to anyone else.
"This is the last press conference of the season." Dunleavy was a little surprised, but also somewhat understanding.
"Do you think that with his performance, he is not enough to attend this press conference?" Fisher, who was on the side, laughed and whispered to Dunleavy.
Dunleavy shrugged, "No problem, no problem." ā
Byron Davis suddenly laughed, laughing loudly, Dunleavy, Fisher and others turned their heads and looked at Davis, who was suddenly laughing, even more confused.
"It suddenly occurred to me that Yang Di was not yet 21 years old."
"yes, what's wrong?" John Salmons asked.
"It's nothing, I think he's like Tim Duncan, and the next year, he's the age when Tim Duncan entered the NBA, and I think our Warriors have a good chance of revitalizing."
Yes, yes, a group of people laughed and agreed, and the atmosphere in the locker room instantly eased a lot.
.......
At the press conference, Yang Di sat next to Montgomery.
Montgomery only brought Youngdy out, and usually, the last press conference of the season would leave the opportunity to the team's boss.
The media reporters were very happy, and they wanted to interview Yang Di, after all, Yang Di was the best player in the Warriors' playoffs.
San Francisco's local TV stations, ESPN, CBS, CCTV5, and the media are all in the room.
The first to answer the question was a reporter from ESPN, the NBA's official best partner, and Erin picked up the microphone with her forehand and smiled.
"Yang Di, the season is over, I want to hear your evaluation of the whole season, both the team and the individual."
Yang Di thought for a while, nodded and said, "The season is over, this is a very unique season. This is the second season of my career. Last offseason, I was in this unfamiliar, unfamiliar environment, but unexpectedly, we settled in very quickly. ā
"I'm excited by the fans, the basketball atmosphere here, I've never seen so many people like me, I've found a sense of belonging playing here, and I thank all the fans and friends who have supported me this season."
"We're playing well, but we can have a higher record, Spurs are a strong opponent and next year, I'll do it again and ...... better than this year."
"Stronger ......"
