Chapter 294 Do You Have a Plan for Revenge in Your Heart?
Seeing that the provocation was unsuccessful, the reporter suddenly thought of another question.
"Tracy, Shaq once said that Jay Sean was the most disappointing rookie this season. What do you think of this statement?"
This problem is actually full of traps.
Because Shaquille O'Neal has a very good relationship with Tracy McGrady, and the two of them are also good friends.
If Tracy McGrady agrees with this statement now, he will offend Chen Jie. If he doesn't agree with it, reporters will undoubtedly offend O'Neal again if they hype it up.
Don't doubt the intentions of reporters, they are just such a group of people.
After hearing this question, McGrady was helpless. Of course he knew the reporter's intention.
But he also has to answer, otherwise, reporters can directly smear him. McGrady is dumping a big name, or McGrady is dismissive of Shaq's words.
McGrady knows very well that these reporters are so difficult to deal with. Although reporters depend on celebrities for survival, many times celebrities are afraid of reporters. After all, they control public opinion. They take quotes out of context and write comments based on their own understanding.
Celebrities cannot explain every comment. They don't have the energy. Therefore, unless you don't care about your reputation at all, you have to take good care of these reporters.
McGrady is a person who cares about his reputation, so he has to answer this question, and he has to think of a good answer that can neither offend Shaq nor Chen Jie.
"Is Jay a disappointing rookie?" McGrady first changed the concept and removed the last word.
The reporter didn't notice it either and nodded repeatedly.
McGrady smiled inwardly. Then he asked with a puzzled look on his face: "Did Shaq say such a thing? When did he say it?"
Wochao. Why don't you die? Didn't you know it was such a big news at that time?
The reporter began to curse in his heart, but since McGrady said he didn't know, he couldn't just assume that they knew. Maybe they really just turned a deaf ear to what was going on. Although this possibility is almost zero.
"It was a month ago, after the game between Chicago and Miami!" the reporter had to answer.
McGrady smiled in his heart again. With these two sentences, he was able to remove himself. He didn't know the inside story, the truth, or the situation at that time, so he could use any explanation.
"Oh, I don't know what Shaq means. In my opinion, Jay's performance is pretty good. As a rookie, he is very successful. Maybe Shaq has watched Jay's college games and feels that with Jay's strength
He should have performed better, that's why he said this. He may have higher expectations for Jay. I don't know exactly what he thinks. These are all guesses!" McGrady smiled and said this
The reporter was really angry.
The two provocations were unsuccessful, and even if the reporter took it out of context, there was no way for the reporter to hype it up.
How to tell? Say McGrady said Shaq thinks Jay should perform better?
God, this reporter doesn't want to be a joke.
Several colleagues next to him knew what this reporter wanted to do, and when they saw Tracy McGrady, they defused his offensive, which made him feel helpless, and everyone laughed.
Immediately, a Chinese reporter came over and asked a question they always ask whenever Chinese players play.
"Tracy, you are now a superstar in the league, Jay is still a rookie, do you have any advice for him?"
McGrady glanced at this reporter with yellow skin and dark eyes, feeling helpless.
He already scored 34 points, and he defeated me. I even gave him advice. Are you mentally ill?
However, McGrady didn't want to use foul language at this time, so he answered seriously.
In fact, there is a template for this question. When McGrady was still with the Magic, a reporter asked him this question after McGrady played in a Rockets game. Now, McGrady feels like he can come up with his answer and say it again.
"Jay is a good player. As a rookie, he is outstanding. He has a background in the college league. It seems that he has adapted to this league very quickly. All I can say to him is to maintain his current performance and train hard.
He will succeed!"
Except for the statement that he has a college league background, the other statements are exactly the same as McGrady's evaluation of Yao Ming.
It can be seen from this answer that McGrady is actually a very smart person.
In the Rockets locker room, reporters are of course gathered around Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady.
As for the Bulls locker room, reporters originally had only one focus, and that was Chen Jie.
But today, it seems that there are not as many people interviewing Chen Jie as there are people interviewing Noccioni.
It's no wonder that although Chen Jie's performance today is the key and cornerstone of the Bulls' victory, it is obvious what the result would have been without Nocchione.
To a certain extent, although Noccioni only played more than ten minutes and scored 14 points, he was the key figure in this game.
"I stood where I was supposed to be, Jay gave me the ball, and I made the shot I was supposed to make. It's that simple!"
This is not the first time that Noccioni has seen such a big battle. That game was a decisive victory over the Celtics. Because it was at home, there were actually more reporters interviewing him, and because he also followed Skiles there.
He attended press conferences, so he was used to such big scenes.
The second time, I'm always more used to it than the first time.
Although reporters all praised Noccioni's performance, he was neither arrogant nor impatient and gave the credit to Chen Jie.
On the other hand, Chen Jie also praised Noccioni highly.
"Andis is the key man. Yes, without him, there would be no victory. I am very lucky that I can have a teammate like him!" Chen Jie said, pointing to Noccioni in the distance.
"Then when you passed the ball to him, weren't you worried that he would miss the shot? You also know that you were lagging behind by many points at the time and you couldn't make any mistakes in offense!" a reporter asked.
"I'm not worried, why should I be worried? I believe Andis, he will definitely make the shot. And the facts prove that he did it." Chen Jie said matter-of-factly.
In fact, although this game was a reversal, there were really not many gimmicks for the game. After asking a few questions, many reporters felt that they had nothing to ask.
However, several reporters smiled when they thought of Chen Jie's opponent in the next game.
"Jay, do you have any thoughts about Denver, your opponent in the next game?" a reporter asked.
They are all well prepared, and naturally they all know about the previous game between Chen Jie and Anthony in the NCAA. Now that Chen Jie and Anthony meet again in the NBA, they will of course want to hype up this issue.
"Denver is a very good team, but we are not afraid of them. We are also a very good team. We are now ranked second in the Eastern Conference. We are not afraid of any team!" Chen Jie replied, of course he knew
The reporters' intentions were used to start a war of words with O'Neal before, which directly caused the Bulls and Heat to become enemies. Chen Jie will not make such a mistake again.
Seeing that Chen Jie seemed to be on guard and pretended not to understand what he meant, the reporters had no choice but to hint again.
"Jay, Denver's current star Carmelo Anthony entered the league at the same time as LeBron James, and he is also regarded as LeBron James' lifelong rival. The league also said before that you and LeBron will be the masters of the next ten years.
, then do you think this means that Cameron has fallen behind compared to LeBron?"
"No, no, I don't think so. The feature I did with LeBron was just for one game. It's not clear who it will be in the next ten years. Carmelo is a good player, of course.
LeBron is not bad either. I am very happy to be able to compete with them. This means that my career will be full of challenges!" Chen Jie said with a confident smile.
The reporters finally couldn't bear it anymore. Damn it, you just won't speak, so let's speak.
"In the finals of the NCAA 02 season, Cameron led Syracuse University to defeat Duke University and win the championship, which directly led to you not participating in the draft and continuing to play at Duke for one year. After that, you and Cardiff University
Mellon has never met again. This game is the first time the two of you have met since then. We can know whether you have any intention of revenge in your heart?" The reporters asked directly, which was considered a clue.
