After the game, Stan Van Gundy stopped Adrian: "Ed, get ready and join me at the press conference later."
Only then did Adrian fully understand that his status in the Magic and the Lakers were completely different.
According to the regulations of the league, the head coach and core team members cannot refuse to participate in the post-game press conference unless there are special circumstances, such as serious injuries and being sent directly to the hospital. This condition is that the league and
The product of media compromise can make it easier for local media to interview the stars of each team.
"Toronto is a place where xenophobia is quite serious. After all, we are not in the United States. Be careful when answering questions later. If you encounter questions that are difficult to answer, just give me a look." Considering that Adrian is the third
I was attending such a press conference, and it was not in Orlando, so Stan Van Gundy gave me a lot of precautions.
Although Stan Van Gundy gave many instructions, when it came to the press conference, these things were basically useless. Mainly because there were no controversial penalties or violent conflicts in this game, and the media
Most of the questions focused on the performance of both sides in this game.[
Although it was Adrian's first time to participate in such a post-game press conference, he had seen him many times. Kobe would occasionally make some jokes about reporters in the locker room. But for Adrian
Most of the people asking questions were Orlando reporters who came to Toronto with the Magic, so naturally they would not ask any questions that would embarrass Adrian.
"I am very excited to achieve such results in the first game after coming to the Magic. We are a young team. Although there are still some small problems in the team, I think we will be able to do it soon.
On Tracks."
"Gortat's starting lineup was decided by Mr. Van Gundy. He has always been very optimistic about Gortat's potential, otherwise he would not have made the decision to sign him. I think his performance will get better and better as the schedule progresses."
"It feels good to work with Kwame again. He is very capable and definitely not just a parallel import. Mr. Jordan picked him in the first place. This put too much pressure on Kwame. But this does not mean that
He doesn't have the potential to become the No. 1 pick, he just suffered too much pressure and was unable to exert his strength. But here, no one has too strict requirements on him, and he can easily exert his strength."
"Lewis played great. He has always been the most accurate shooting guy on the team, and it was the same tonight."
"The Raptors are very good, and I believe they will definitely make the playoffs. They have some young people full of potential. As long as they are given time, they will eventually become very scary. Chris Bosh's
I don’t need to say anything more about my strength, the All-Star starting has already explained everything.”
"The game against the 76ers? Let's think about it during the game. I think we are also willing to give the audience a wonderful game."
Adrian's mature performance once again surprised Stan Van Gundy. He has seen many people participating in the post-game press conference for the first time, and they often appear nervous or even incoherent. But there is no such thing in Adrian.
There were signs of this. It seemed that he had experienced this situation several times, and his answers to questions were quite satisfactory, without giving the media any clues.
At this moment, another reporter stood up.
"Mr. Adrian, how did you achieve such an achievement? As far as we know from our investigation, your college basketball level does not seem to be very... It seems that you have never participated in a regular college league. We interviewed you
The coach at my university, he doesn’t even remember you were on the team.”
This reporter's question immediately attracted everyone's attention. In peaceful times, celebrity gossip is always a topic of concern to all living beings. All reporters couldn't help but prick up their ears, fearing that they would miss a word.
This question is a bit difficult to answer, because it involves Adrian's deepest secret. Unless he wants to go to the national test bed, it is absolutely impossible to tell this deepest secret.
However, as a celebrity, Adrian had long expected that one day he would be asked this question.
"Actually, I basically never entered a basketball gym in college."
Wow~~~~
Adrian's answer immediately caused an uproar among the media reporters at the scene. A star who is now a hot star in the league basically did not enter the basketball gym during his college days?
Insider!
There’s a big inside story!
Everyone's eyes suddenly lit up.[
"It's not just college. When I was in high school, I just hung out with a name on the team." Adrian smiled: "I had no interest in basketball at that time. In my opinion at that time, it was better to play basketball than to play basketball."
Sweating on the basketball court is worse than going fishing in the river, or chasing beautiful girls. Being with them is far more interesting than sweating on the basketball court..."
Adrian's answer aroused laughter from the media. There is nothing too mysterious about Adrian's background. Everyone knows that he comes from a wealthy family. Although his parents are dead, the inheritance left by his parents is enough for him to spend his whole life.
Instead of worrying about life.
"Later... If I want to talk about this matter in detail, there is simply not enough time today. I can only say that something happened. It completely changed me." Adrian smiled: "Maybe one day I will
I want to talk about this on some show, but not now. If I continue to answer, it may delay my flight back to Orlando tonight, or even affect the game against the 76ers the day after tomorrow. I don’t want to be criticized by the league for this.
Punishment. So, that’s where the problem ends.”
Then the reporters asked some more questions, but they were basically related to Adrian's college and high school basketball life. Now the media's focus has been completely diverted. And once these issues are involved, Adrian will
Smiling and saying it has something to do with the game.
But no one with righteous speech stood up and shouted: "We have the right to know."
Then let Adrian reply with a straight face: "I have the right to refuse to answer."
Most of the time, at least on the surface, media reporters are relatively civilized.
After the press conference, the Magic team rushed to the airport to fly back to Orlando overnight to prepare for the game against the Philadelphia 76ers the day after tomorrow. (To be continued. If you like this work, () vote, monthly vote, your support
