Chapter 432 He Is Really Aiming for the Scoring Champion! (Fourth Update!)
After the game, on the Spurs side, Popovich took Leonard and Ginobili to a press conference.
Although Leonard was blocked twice by Davis, he scored 20 points and is still the player with the most points on the Spurs.
However, the atmosphere of the press conference was a bit dull.
After all, it is not a pleasant thing for a player released by his own team to kill a lore.
"Our players performed great, they have done a great job, I have a problem with the tactical arrangement, we should not lose the last rebound."
Popovich knew that losing the game would have a big impact on the morale of the team, so he took the responsibility on himself at the press conference.
This is his character, he can be skinny when he wants to be skinny, and he is serious when he should be serious.
"Don scored 41 points, and ended up killing the team. Do you have anything to say?"
The reporter then asked.
But Popovich was expressionless and said nothing.
The reporter thought that Popovich didn't understand, and then asked again.
"What do you think I can say?"
Popovich replied coldly.
His attitude is already very obvious, it's standard nothing to say.
If it weren't for GDP still in the Spurs, he might really want to fall out with Holt.
Obviously he and Buford were helping to take the blame, but they were still angry at him and the team in the midfield.
The atmosphere of the press conference on the Spurs side was very bad, but the atmosphere of the press conference on the Pelicans side was just the opposite.
It was quite a morale-boosting battle for the Pelicans to win the Spurs.
"He led us to victory."
Gordon used a very apt description, he scored 15 points and 3 assists in this game.
This sentence came out of his mouth, which showed that he had recognized Tang Tian's core position in the Pelicans.
"It was a great game, Don played the best game of his career so far, but I believe he will be even better in the future."
Williams also showed off his eloquence in front of the media.
However, amidst the harmonious voice, there are always reporters who like to make troubles.
At the end of the press conference, a question from a female reporter from FOX Sports made the atmosphere a little tense.
"We know that T-Mac created a miracle of 13 points in 35 seconds, but many people said that that game spent his entire career luck, resulting in his subsequent performance far below people's expectations, what do you think about your performance today? The performance of scoring 4 three-pointers in a row and winning the game lately?"
When the reporter asked this, Williams on the stage really wanted to kick him out.
It was like a mouse dropping suddenly appeared in a pot of porridge.
The other reporters all looked at Tang Tian in unison, they were worried that this young player would not be able to cope with this kind of problem.
Tang Tian glanced at the reporter, he didn't get angry because of this curse-like question, but spoke calmly.
"Except for the last lore shot, I got rid of the defense for the previous three three-pointers. They were all chance shots. I don't think it takes a whole career to hit a difficult lore shot. If that's the case , Kobe may have retired long ago."
As soon as Tang Tian finished speaking, there was a burst of applause at the scene.
This answer is really wise, and there is nothing wrong with it.
This is tantamount to subverting the question itself raised by the reporter.
And there is no problem with Tang Tian's example.
In terms of lore shots alone, Kobe must be one of the representatives. He has 26 times higher than Jordan, which is the most number of lore shots in NBA history.
Even Kobe would not be angry when he heard it, but would be happy, because it was blowing him in a different direction.
After finishing the press conference, Tang Tian returned to the locker room, but his teammates still hadn't left.
Seeing Tang Tian's return, there was another burst of cheers and screams in the locker room.
In this game, Tang Tian made 14 of 26 shots, 6 of 10 three-pointers, and 7 of 8 free throws. He efficiently scored 41 points, 2 rebounds, 7 assists, 2 steals and 1 block. He was an absolute contributor to the team's victory.
Before the end of the game, Tang Tian followed Williams to the press conference, and they hadn't had time to celebrate.
Ci Shiping started impromptu rap at this time.
"Tonight we are all Avengers, you are Thor and I am Hulk, only one less black widow, the black widow that Durant wants..."
Tang Tian was almost defeated by Ci Shiping's rap.
However, the teammates were very integrated into Ci Shiping's rhythm, and Tang Tian also got up to cheer together.
"Just one less black widow, a black widow that Durant wanted to drink from his bathwater."
...
The Pelicans were high in the locker room, and fans on social media were high too.
"The only one who can guard against Tang Tian is Tang Tian. Unfortunately, he is no longer in the Spurs."
"I heard that Holt was fainted and sent to the hospital. I don't know if it's true or not."
"I don't think so, although the players who let go scored more than 40 points on their own team, it's pretty good."
"I think I can understand it even if it is true. After all, this team is called the Spurs. I have forgotten who the last player who scored 40+ on top of the Spurs was."
"I think maybe Buford is not far from being fired, and he sent his boss to the hospital with anger."
"Haha, I am actually convinced of this operation. I think this is even more miraculous than the Hornets trading Kobe and the Raptors letting McGrady. After all, even if it is a poison contract, the annual salary for the first two years is only 5 million."
"I didn't even realize that you didn't tell me, he only needs 5 million this season!"
"5 million scoring champion?"
"Isn't it difficult to be the top scorer? How many points per game is he averaging now? Is there anyone to check."
"Average of 27.8 points, 2.1 rebounds, 5.3 assists, 1.8 steals and 2.1 blocks per game, 47.5% field goal percentage, 43.6% three-point field goal percentage."
"It's already 28 points?! Looking at it this way, it's really not impossible!"
"Yes, his crazy scoring can help the team win. There is no reason why the Pelicans can't let him continue to do so."
"Haha, the 5 million scoring leader! Brother! My big water bird fans are going to wake up laughing!"
"Davis: So he didn't come to assist me? TXTX~"
"The scoring champion belongs to Kevin Durant." A statement from a Godfather fan.
"Is this Durant's trumpet? Tsk tsk, the scoring champion has been synonymous with Durant in recent years. Last year, he was robbed by Anthony. If he is robbed by Tang again this year..."
"That must be a very cool thing, haha!"
...
After spending the night in the hospital, Holt went home to recuperate.
He was just out of breath, nothing serious.
After resting for two days, he has almost recovered. When he was resting in the living room downstairs, an unexpected visitor came.
The team's general manager, RC Buford.
In the past, Buford would come to him with Popovich, but it seemed a little strange to come alone this time.
But Buford's first sentence made him understand what he was coming for.
"I want to resign."
After Holt listened, he felt dizzy again.
