Chapter 71, Don't provoke him.
After Ade scored into this two plus one, the Timberwolves had no power to resist.
…………
"Beebee!"
The referee sounded the final ending sound.
98 to 116
Lambis looked up at the score, and they had no chance in the second half of this game.
The Trail Blazers almost gave the Timberwolves six consecutive defeats with a devastating victory.
Xue Ding's data in this game finally surpassed Roy and became the best data in the media.
Trail Blazers data: Xue Ding scored 34 points, 13 rebounds, 9 assists, 4 steals and 6 mistakes, regretfully lost a triple-double, Roy scored 24 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists, Fernandez scored 12 points and 4 rebounds; Aldridge scored 17 points and 8 rebounds, and Pulpbizla scored 4 points, 1 rebound and 3 blocks. Although Pulpbizla's playing time was a bit touching, Trail Blazers fans looked at each other and smiled.
Timberwolves data: Love 32 points and 18 rebounds; Al Jefferson 18 points, 10 rebounds and 2 blocks; Flynn 7 points and 3 assists; Sessions 13 points.???
Xue Ding's data in this game are luxurious.
When the team was in trouble, Xue Ding conquered his opponents through extremely strong impact.
As soon as the game ends.
Instead of returning to the locker room with the players, McMillan walked towards Lambis.
"You have many good young people, and your Xue's talent is so good, so we don't have that good luck." Lanbis said sourly.
Xue Ding's two shocking dunks proved his uniqueness... It was a turning point in the momentum of the two teams.
No matter how the media praised Xue Ding, Lanbis was not willing to believe it. Until he witnessed it with his own eyes, he had to regret why he didn't insist on using a sign to choose Xue Ding back...
Lanbis said this and refused to admit that his coaching was worse than McMillan. He said that Xue Ding, Roy and others had better overall talent than the Timberwolves, and it was worth losing this ball.
McMillan heard such a sour tone and replied: "Xue's mentality is far stronger than his talent. This year, your goal is No. 5 and No. 6, and we are also envious. We just picked up the treasures left by others. In addition, coaching a group of geniuses is far more difficult than coaching a group of mediocre talents."
McMillan means that the Timberwolves have the opportunity to choose Xue Ding, but you miss the opportunity, so don’t blame others. Then the Trail Blazers coaching is not as easy as you think.
Will fans scold the Timberwolves if they can't enter the playoffs?
Obviously not.
If the Trail Blazers can't make it to the playoffs.
McMillan probably has to be dismissed.
Players have different talents and different requirements, and the difficulty of coaching is almost the same.
Both head coaches are decent and have smiles on their faces when they speak.
After a short confrontation, both of them reached out to hold each other.
The two did not have much grudge. McMillan also removed Xue Ding early in the fourth quarter and did not allow him to complete the achievement of winning triple-doubles. This can be regarded as retaining some face for Lambis.
After a simple greeting, both of them went back and started preparing for the press conference.
.............
There are many reporters at the press conference.
Xue Ding and Roy accompanied McMillan to represent the Trail Blazers in the interview.
On the Timberwolves, Flynn and Love accompanied head coach Lambis for an interview.
The interviews are sequenced, not gathering together.
The Timberwolves will be interviewed first.
Timberwolves head coach Lambis took the responsibility for losing the game as soon as possible: "Our team is going through an unpleasant journey, which is very difficult. Losing in this game is my responsibility. I underestimated the strong impact of the Trail Blazers. In addition, I didn't expect that they lacked so many main players, but they played so tenaciously. Their style has completely changed. I shouldn't play fast-paced attacks with them. Xue's existence makes us very passive."
The traditional impression given by the Trail Blazers is indeed slow, but in this game, the rapid storm of the Trail Blazers brought by Xue Ding subverted the impression of the media and players and fans of the Trail Blazers. It was not so obvious in the previous few games, and today's game is extremely prominent.
A reporter from Fox Sports asked: "What do you think of Xue?"????
Lambis sighed: "He is a phenomenon-level point guard. I can't believe that this little guy is only 20 years old now. In fact, compared to his talent, I see his maturity when dealing with the ball. He knows his strengths very well, knows when to hit and when to pass the ball. He is very confident on the court. If it weren't for him, I think we wouldn't have lost so easily."????
Fox reporters continued to ask: "The Timberwolves didn't choose Xue for the two draft picks this year. I heard that Xue had also gone to Minnesota to try out and expressed his willingness to play for the Timberwolves. Will you regret it?"
Lambis looked at the reporter resentfully and complained in his heart that I wanted to choose him, but if the management team didn't choose the group of silly silly, what can I do?
Lambis will feel regretful. A phenomenal point guard who can get a good triple-double per game will be a worry if he chooses it?
Timberwolves fans are not particularly concerned about losing. What they care about is that the team has no hope and no light can be seen.
If Xue Ding was there, even if he had a very poor record in the first year, fans could still regard Xue Ding as a supporter to comfort himself. After all, Xue Ding is a super giant.
But Lambis couldn't say what he thought.
Lambis had no choice but to say: "We won't regret it. He has poor data in the NCAA and does not have much game record. We know very little about him. Our management is doing very well and the management also has their own considerations."
He did not hesitate to throw the blame at the management, and it was my business.
When the reporter asked Lambis that there was not much information, he changed his words and asked Flynn how to evaluate Xue Ding as an opponent.
After all, the open and secret battles between rookies in the same year were also very exciting. Before the game, Flynn shouted that Xue Ding was weak.
Flynn said clearly outspokenly: "Don't try to anger him!"
ESPN reporter immediately asked: "Why?"
Flynn said honestly: "I angered him tonight, I sprayed trash words at him, and you saw it, it was a long night for me, and I was not ready to be retaliated against him. For Xue, next time I will not provoke him and make him angry."
When the reporters heard Flynn’s admit defeat, they were excited and became very excited, especially those from domestic journalists.
This No. 6 show was defeated.
Hupu reporter asked: "What are your suggestions for other rookies who meet Xue?"
Flynn said frankly: "It's still the same, don't irritate him. Since I've been angry, I haven't even gotten a point. Love and Al were also detained. He completely dominated the game. So when facing Xue, just do your own thing, and don't try to irritate him."
Flynn now thinks of Xue Ding's eyes when he looks at him, and he feels a little scared...
When domestic media heard this, they immediately wrote quickly.
When the Trail Blazers were interviewed, Xue Ding was the focus again.
Roy has always been a very low-key person and does not like to be arrogant.
Chapter completed!
