After Chen Jie took a shower and changed clothes, he found that Scales was no longer in the locker room. He picked up his belongings and rushed to the press conference room.
After attending the press conference, Chen Jie was ready to leave directly from the press conference hall with Li Ming'er.
Therefore, when he went out this time, Chen Jie said goodbye to his teammates one by one and said they would see each other tomorrow.
When I arrived at the press conference room, I found Li Ming'er waiting in the lounge.
Skiles was actually chatting with Li Ming'er.
Seeing Chen Jie coming over, Li Ming'er said sorry to Scales, then stood up and came over to greet him.
Chen Jie held Li Ming'er's hand and asked with a smile: "Are you in a hurry?"
Li Ming'er smiled slightly, "No, they are all chatting with me!"
Li Ming'er pointed to several Bulls staff, including the press officer.
It can be seen that because of Chen Jie's relationship, Li Ming'er is very popular when she comes to the United Center.
This is evident from the fact that she can enter and leave the press conference room.
After listening to Li Min'er's words, Chen Jie had a smile on his face.
Then he walked over to Scales.
Seeing Chen Jie walking over holding Li Ming'er's hand, Scales also stood up with a smile.
"Come on Jay, it's time for us to go in!"
Like an elder, Scales gently patted Chen Jie's shoulder and straightened the wrinkles on Chen Jie's clothes.
This inadvertent action had a different meaning in the eyes of many people around.
How harmonious this pair of Bulls generals are.
No wonder the Bulls are able to achieve such good results now.
Under the surprised eyes of many people, Scales and Chen Jie walked into the press conference room.
In the press conference room, Kobe and Tomjanovich haven't arrived yet. The reporters are whispering.
But as soon as Chen Jie and Scales walked in, the reporters immediately fell silent, and then, one by one, the spotlights were focused on Scales and Chen Jie, the master and disciple.
It can be seen that both Scales and Chen Jie are in a good mood, with smiles on their faces all the time. The spring breeze is warm, which makes people feel comfortable.
The reporters all breathed a sigh of relief. Judging from the mood of these two people, there shouldn't be any problems with today's questions?
While the reporters were thinking about it, another pair of masters and apprentices walked in.
Kobe Bryant and Tomjanovich.
The two of them were completely different from Chen Jieskels. Their expressions were very serious. Kobe even had a dark face.
The emotions between the two sides are completely in stark contrast.
The reporters sighed, as expected, the winning team was different from the losing team.
Although he was in a bad mood, when he saw Chen Jie, Kobe still forced out a smile to say hello. He was already giving Chen Jie a lot of face.
Chen Jie also smiled slightly and nodded at Kobe.
On the other side, Tomjanovich shook hands with Scales.
After that, the four of them sat down together.
The press conference is about to begin.
The Bulls' press officer came to the stage and addressed the topic.
"Friends from the media, today's press conference has begun. We are all acquaintances, so I don't need to introduce any rules. Now, everyone can ask questions!"
After the press officer said this, reporters immediately raised their hands to ask questions.
The press officer was just about to call the names, but unexpectedly, Kobe suddenly spoke.
"Ahem!"
Kobe first coughed dryly, attracting everyone's attention. Then, facing the puzzled looks of many people, Kobe spoke calmly. His voice was flat and there was no trace of emotion.
"I don't want to take questions today. I'm here, say a word and leave!"
Kobe's words caused an uproar among the media reporters below.
The press officer had to stand up immediately and said: "Quiet, friends, let's listen to what Mr. Kobe Bryant has to say first."
The press officer's words actually made the reporters quiet down for the time being.
At this time, Kobe continued to say calmly: "Guys, I feel very unhappy, really, I feel very unhappy. I don't like failure, especially such a failure. I don't even know what went wrong. , we had been maintaining a winning rhythm, but suddenly one day, we lost a game, and then we were out of control. Up to now, we don't even deserve where the problem is. I don't like this very much. Feeling. I’m in a terrible mood right now, everything is terrible. I don’t know what to say, I feel so bad!”
Kobe expressed his displeasure three times, and it was obvious how bad his mood was at the moment.
After saying this, Kobe ignored the reporters who asked questions directly without raising their hands. He stood up and walked out the door.
Seeing Kobe leaving the game like this, the reporters started a commotion. Some people held up cameras to take pictures of Kobe's back as he left, and some even stood up and prepared to chase Kobe... …
The press conference room was in chaos.
Fortunately, there were many security guards in Chicago. They stood up and maintained uniforms at this time. Then the press officer threatened to end the press conference early if the reporters continued like this, so the reporters finally calmed down.
They are not fools. Now it seems that Kobe Bryant will not be able to be interviewed. If they continue to fight for it, they may not even be able to interview Jason Tomjanovich.
This is something only a fool would do, and not these reporters would do it.
But it can be seen that each of them is a little excited at this moment.
Kobe's sudden departure undoubtedly gave them a good news source.
Seeing that the order was finally stabilized, the press officer finally breathed a sigh of relief, walked to the microphone and said: "Now we officially enter the question-and-answer session. Anyone who wants to ask questions should raise their hands first and come one by one!"
After the press officer said this, many reporters immediately raised their hands impatiently.
Under normal circumstances, the press officer would definitely call the media with whom he has a good relationship first.
But today, the press officer was not in the mood to take care of his friends. He pointed at a reporter casually.
When the reporter saw that he was being targeted, he immediately took the microphone and stood up.
"I would like to ask Mr. Rudy, what do you think of Kobe's sudden departure just now? Was he a silent demonstration?"
Obviously, this reporter wanted to sow discord between Tomjanovich and Kobe, or he wanted to see if he could dig out some news about the feud between the Lakers generals.
But he miscalculated, and Tomjanovich would not give him this chance.
"I understand him very well. Kobe is a player who hates losing. This is obvious to everyone. It is completely understandable that he is in a bad mood after encountering such a game."
"Kobe just said that he doesn't know where the team's problems lie. So Mr. Rudy, what do you think is the reason for the Lakers' recent poor performance?"
Just as this reporter finished asking the question, another reporter immediately picked up the question. They seemed to be targeting Tomjanovich because of Kobe's sudden departure.
"I think we are in the painful period of running-in. At the beginning of the season, we performed well entirely because of our passion. Slowly, as the season progresses, relying on passion is no longer enough. We have to use mature tactics.
I won. But after all, this season, I just came to the Lakers, and many players also just came. We need time to adjust. Such failures are inevitable. Of course, I also hope that the fewer failures the better.
!”
At this time, not many people may agree with Rudy's analysis, but looking back after the season, everyone feels that he is actually right.
"Then, Coach Rudy, does Mr. Kobe agree with your opinion? If he agrees, then why did he say that again just now?"
This reporter's question was equivalent to pushing Tomjanovich into a corner.
Of course he couldn't say that Kobe agreed, because if Kobe had agreed, he wouldn't have said that just now.
But if he says that Kobe doesn't agree, doesn't that mean he's telling the media that he lacks necessary communication with the team's most important player like Kobe?
No matter what you say, it won't work.
Rudy Tomjanovich is in trouble.
He couldn't help but start to complain about what Kobe said just now. Why don't you talk to me first? Don't you know that in this case, I will have to bear all the pressure?
I understand that you feel bad about failure, but you don’t need to vent to the media?
Tomjanovich cursed in his heart.
But no matter what, he had to solve the current problem.
"I think Mr. Kobe agrees. What he said just now was just out of anger. Anyone who loses will say some angry words. This cannot be taken seriously!"
Tomjanovich could only answer like this.
But how could the reporters let him go?
"Does Mr. Kobe really agree with you, Coach Rudy? I think if he agreed, he wouldn't be so angry about such a failure?"
"Also, Coach Rudy, has Mr. Kobe really heard your analysis? Didn't you communicate with Mr. Kobe beforehand? If you had communicated with him, how could Mr. Kobe say such a thing? He
He is no longer a fledgling young man!"
"Coach Rudy, I feel..."
"Coach Rudy, is it..."
Questions came at Tomjanovich one after another, and Tomjanovich already felt a little overwhelmed.
In the past, he always felt that it was an honor to be the coach of a team with a glorious history like the Lakers. Now, he increasingly feels that it is a big trouble.
"I don't know what you are talking about. It's normal for Kobe to complain about his failure. He just didn't notify me in advance. Why are you chasing after him so closely? If you have any questions, can't you just ask him directly?"
Although Tomjanovich has always been very gentlemanly, now he was a little tired of being pestered by reporters. He finally couldn't bear it anymore and exploded.
After saying this, Tomjanovich saw the reporters in the audience and continued: "In the future, if you have any questions like this, just ask the person involved directly! What's the use of asking me what he said himself?
?”
After Tomjanovich said this, the media and reporters stopped asking questions.
However, each of their eyes radiated excitement.
There is a story in this!
The reporters were like sharks that smelled something fishy, keenly sensing that there must be something big going on here.
Next to him, Skiles, who saw this scene, couldn't help but sympathize with Tomjanovich. It was obvious that he was living a very uncomfortable life.
After sighing, Skiles couldn't help but feel lucky. Fortunately, the Bulls did not have such a problem, otherwise, he would have been tortured to death.
The press conference was mostly over when reporters were questioning Tomjanovich.
Next, there will definitely be time to ask questions about Chen Jie and Skiles.
The reporters just let Tomginovich go.
But obviously, their attention at the moment is all on the news about the Lakers general.
When it came time to ask questions about Chen Jie and Scales, few reporters raised their hands.
The press officer pointed to the female reporter who had a conflict with Chen Jie after the Pistons game, Ruth.
As soon as Ruth stood up, many people immediately recognized her.
Isn't this the female reporter who was scolded by Chen Jie last time? Why, she still dares to come? Aren't you afraid that Chen Jie won't want to see her?
Facing the strange looks from everyone, Ruth did not dodge, but looked directly at Chen Jie.
"I have a question, Jayshawn!"
"I know you, your name is Ruth? What, why are you here again?" Seeing this woman, Chen Jie smiled slightly and joked.
He was in a good mood today, and he didn't bother to argue with the female reporter.
However, upon hearing Chen Jie's words, many reporters laughed maliciously.
A trace of resentment appeared on Ruth's face. She bit her lip and held back.
"Mr. Jeshawn, I just want to ask a question. This is my job. I hope you can cooperate!" Ruth said stubbornly.
"If you ask, I will definitely cooperate. Do you want to ask Kwame? He performed very well today. His rebounding is the guarantee of our victory!" Chen Jie said with a smile.
He deliberately answered without waiting for Ruth to ask questions, and also talked about Kwame Brown, which made many interested people smile again.
Many people still remember that the last time Ruth was scolded by Chen Jie, it was because she said Kwame Brown was a parallel import!
Chen Jie’s words mean something!
When Ruth heard Chen Jie's words, she felt a little ashamed, and she couldn't help but hate Chen Jie even more.
"What I want to ask is that many fans in the United Center hope that you can score more than 30 points and break Tracy's record last year, but you don't seem to like scoring on the court. Why is that?"
Ruth asked this question.
Chen Jie shrugged: "It's simple, because I won't break records for the sake of breaking records. That would be boring. I don't need to score today, so I don't want to score. I am not a scoring maniac, I am a comprehensive
player!"
Chen Jie's answer was conceited yet humorous, eliciting bursts of laughter from the reporters.
Ruth looked at Chen Jie, feeling more and more disgusted with this man. (To be continued...)
