Chapter 469: After the game
The Warriors swept the Nuggets 4-0 and made headlines in the media.
At the end of the game, the Nuggets fans left the stadium gloomily, and the Nuggets players also lowered their heads, and it was really uncomfortable to be taken down on their home court.
Carmelo Anthony also left the court directly, but Andre Miller, Marcus Camby and others stayed behind to say hello to the celebrating Warriors players before leaving.
Denver fans remember the Warriors player wearing the number eight, he is from China, with the Golden State gangs in the Bay Area, the big devil defeated the Nuggets, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the strength of the two teams is not on the same level, the biggest problem for the Nuggets is that when Carmelo Anthony is locked up, who will attack the team?
The Nuggets uniforms have also thought about this problem, and they desperately need a second scoring point to breathe new life into the Nuggets amid the league's rise of twin stars.
"Looking at the whole league, you are already a top-five insider." Camby hugged Yang Di, and Yang Di's strength made him admire it too.
Yang Di was very happy to be recognized by others, shook hands with Camby, and humbly complimented: "The Nuggets also have a lot of potential, and Carmelo Anthony will get stronger and stronger." ”
"Yes, I hope so." Camby nodded, squeezing out a small smile.
Inside the court, the Warriors' players and fans celebrated for a while, and then left the place one after another, after all, this is the Pepsi Center arena, the Nuggets' stadium, not their Warriors' home stadium.
In the Nuggets away locker room, the players celebrated with champagne, and every round of the series is an increase in the value of each player, such as today's Monta Ellis, John Salmons and other bench giants, and the agent told them that there are many teams secretly contacting them, and the NBA is a business field, and poaching is the most common.
Yang Di took a shower and came out to join Byron Davis for the post-match press conference.
In the media reception center of the Pepsi Center arena, two people sat down with the head coach, and the venue was filled with dense media reporters.
When Yang Di walked in, the flash kept shooting.
He greeted everyone with a smile and took a seat, in a good mood.
Yang Di leaned back in his chair and chatted with Byron Davis first.
Byron said: "Young, the Spurs and Mavericks couldn't tell the difference for a while, and we were the first team to qualify, which surprised me, and when I came here more than a year ago, I didn't expect it to reach this point. ”
"The main thing is that you and I cooperate too well." Yang Di laughed: "The two of us are partnered, the impact is stronger than the impact of Nash and Xiao Si's blocking and dismantling, the next step, I want to improve my ability to respond, if I have a hand of passing skills, you and I will block and dismantle the threat of going down, will be greater." ”
"It's inevitable." Byron Davis looked at Yang Di in astonishment, he didn't expect Yang Di to have a goal to improve, God, he didn't know that he was already completely unpresentable.
"I'm eager to learn any skill, including outside skills, and I want to learn my hands, and I want to be a nightmare in every position in the future, a real big devil."
"I'm looking forward to that day." Byron reacted, laughed, touched his beard, and felt that Yang Di was more like a dangerous person than he thought.
At the beginning of the post-match interview session, officials pointed to the reporters on the scene, and the reporters of "Sports Illustrated" took the lead in asking questions.
Out of respect, he was the first to ask head coach Montgomery.
"The Warriors were the first to qualify, was that in your plan, and now you probably have an extra week to prepare for the Western Conference Finals, how are you going to spend that time?"
"The guys on the Warriors are great, they've played incredible games, and while I've always believed we're going to win the series, a sweep is really hard to come by. Jandy, Byron, Mike, Tyson, Derek all had great performances and I'm very proud of their performances. Montgomery first praised the Warriors' players.
Yang Di and Byron immediately applauded, and the reporters at the scene also applauded, and even whistled and shouted cheers.
Montgomery, Yang Di, and Byron Davis looked at each other, and said with a smile: "The next time, of course, is all about training, in the two months of the playoffs, no one dares to relax for a minute, we need more training, active preparation, for the upcoming Western Conference finals, there is no doubt about it." ”
The proper conversation between the two was unnutritious, and it wasn't until Yang Di was asked that the atmosphere became warm.
"Yang Di, in this series, Carmelo Anthony is only averaging 21.3 points per game and shooting 35 percent under your defense, do you think it was your defense that changed the trend of the entire series?"
The reporters all pricked up their ears and stared at Yang Di, ready to take his words.
Yang Di sneered and nodded.
Montgomery and Byron Davis both jumped eyelids, and the reporters shook their pens with excitement, just waiting for Yang Di to open his mouth.
"Of course it's the team's efforts."
Yang Di changed his words and still attributed the credit to the team.
The reporters "cut" in their hearts, with disappointed looks on their faces, while Montgomery and Byron Davis wiped their sweat, really afraid that as soon as Yang Di blurted out, he would start talking nonsense again. It seems to be okay now, after all, Yang Di is also a person who is often interviewed, and the dialogue is obviously much more mature.
"We're a unit, our defense is hierarchical, and if a player hits a low percentage of shots, it must be because we're too oppressive as a whole, and when the machine rotates normally, the strength of the individual is small, and the same is true in basketball, and I like the way we work together."
Yang Di said nonsense, and at this time, the eyes of the CEO of Adidas, who was watching the live broadcast, lit up.
Adi's executives all gathered to watch Yang Di's last game, until they saw that at the press conference, Yang Di actually came up with a slogan similar to "no brothers, no basketball".
"Isn't that the team role model we've been looking for!"
"Look at Yang Di, Yang Di is a representative figure in the hearts of Chinese fans, Yang Di has a very high popularity in Asia, Yang Di is still a superstar in the league, two years ago, we missed Yang Di, this summer, Yang Di's contract with Nike expired, no matter what, we must take Yang Di, as our Adidas top star!"
