Because of Kobe's angrily leaving the meeting, reporters' attention shifted from Skiles and Chen Jie to Tomjanovich at today's post-game press conference between the Bulls and Lakers.
They troubled Tomjanovich with extremely tricky questions one by one, and it seemed that the news about the Lakers generals' feud was not complete until they found out.
Most of the entire press conference was wasted on Tomjanovich's battle of wits with the media.
Chen Jie and Scales became spectators.
It wasn't until there was not much time left in the press conference that the media remembered that Chen Jie and Skiles had not asked questions. During the game, they had prepared many questions.
The first person to stand up and ask questions was Ruth, an intern reporter from Time Magazine who had some unpleasant encounters with Chen Jie after the Bulls and Pistons game.
Her question was met with ridicule by Chen Jie again.
After Chen Jie finished answering Ruth's questions, Ruth's face was already very ugly. In her heart, Ruth hated Chen Jie more and more.
After Ruth asked the question, several reporters asked Scales and Chen Jie their prepared questions.[
These questions basically focus on the reason why it only took less than a day for the Bulls to go from defeat to victory, and Chen Jie's thoughts on refreshing the number of assists in his career.
Chen Jie and Scales had a much better life than Tomjanovich. They answered questions with ease.
After about ten minutes, no one from the media raised their hands to ask questions.
The press conference has lasted for more than an hour. It's time to end.
Originally, according to the procedure, at this time, the press officer stood up and announced the end of the press conference, Chen Jieskelsi Tomjanovich left, and then the day's affairs were over.
But before that, Chen Jie seems to have something to do.
He gestured to the press officer, and then gently touched the microphone in front of him.
"Do you have any questions?" Chen Jie said. He first asked this question.
There was no sound from the reporters in the audience. Obviously, they had nothing to ask today.
Seeing this scene, Chen Jie smiled slightly: "Since everyone has no questions, I have a few words to say!"
Chen Jie's words attracted the attention of many media reporters.
This is not the first time such a situation has occurred in today's press conference. Before, Kobe Bryant just made a statement without waiting for the media to ask questions.
It was that passage that gave the media news to dig out.
Now, Chen Jie waited until the reporters had no more questions to ask. Like Kobe, he also wanted to make a statement. Remembering the sensation of Kobe's words before, these reporters couldn't help but have expectations for what Chen Jie was going to say.
Many reporters who had put away their recording pens took them out again and prepared to record Chen Jie's speech.[
Chen Jie glanced around and then said calmly: "I'm curious why no one asked about Kwame Brown today!"
As soon as Chen Jie said these words, the reporters below were in an uproar.
They understood that Chen Jie was not trying to break some big news, but was trying to slap the media in the face.
When they saw Kwame Brown perform well in his debut, the media already felt very uncomfortable.
They even agreed in advance that no one would ask any questions about Kwame Brown during the press conference.
In fact, throughout the entire press conference, Kwame Brown's name did not appear once.
Reporters thought that this way they would not have to face this embarrassing incident.
But I didn't expect that if they didn't mention it, Chen Jie would do it anyway.
Now, in the eyes of these reporters, Chen Jie's smile looks so hateful.
They also began to hate Chen Jie more and more.
But what can be done? Now, they can't leave the scene, and they can't interrupt Chen Jie. They can only listen to what Chen Jie says.
"In my opinion, Kwame Brown performed very well today. He scored a double-double in less than 20 minutes. Moreover, his rebounds are the guarantee of our defense. You know,
This is the first game that Kwame Brown has fought side by side with us. He can achieve such results. What he did is already perfect, isn't it?"
Chen Jie finally asked a rhetorical question, as if he still wanted to interact with the reporters, but where would any idiot reporter stand up and play a double act with Chen Jie?
However, a few reporters heard Chen Jie's words and muttered: "Isn't it just a game? You can't tell anything about it!"
This sentence was actually not loud, but Chen Jie's sharp ears happened to hear it.
He even saw the reporter who said this.
He pointed at the reporter, not angry, but still with a smile on his face: "Yes, you are right, this is just a game, of course there is nothing to tell. In this game, Kwame's performance was better than
Dee is completely popular in the world, but that doesn’t explain the problem.”
The media were stunned when they heard Chen Jie's words.
They originally thought that Chen Jie was going to argue with them.
Why, Chen Jie actually followed the reporters' wishes and said, isn't this a step down for the reporters?
Is this Chen Jie’s character?
Many reporters who know Chen Jie find it a bit unbelievable. If they didn't think it was a bit fanciful, they even think that Chen Jie is now possessed by aliens.
But immediately, Chen Jie’s next words made the reporters understand.
He will never change, he is the Chen Jie, the Chen Jie that the media hates but has to pursue!
Chen Jie changed the topic: "You may still insist that our transaction this time is stupid, or you may think that Kwame Brown is a parallel import. It doesn't matter, in fact, we have never cared about it. Our transaction is for the team's benefit.
Strength can be improved, not to make you feel right. What kind of player Kwame is, all the fans, players and coaches also see it, and it is not you reporters who can position him!"
Chen Jie's words can be said to be very disrespectful to the media.
Chen Jie didn't give any face to these crowned kings. This sentence was just like telling them that their words were just like farts and no one cared about them.
Many reporters already looked bad.
If you don't give it to Chen Jie, it's not over yet.
"Perhaps one game seems accidental to you, or in fact, you already know in your heart that you are wrong, but you don't want to admit it. But after two, three, or one season, will you still be stubborn? You still want to say that?
What's the excuse? I'm waiting to see what you guys look like at that time, I believe it will be a very interesting thing!"
Chen Jie smiled and said these words that directly took off the reporters' fig leaf.
These reporters all know that after watching this game, they already feel that their previous analysis and remarks may be wrong. Kwame may not be that good, and the deal between Eddie and Kwame may be wrong.
Not so stupid.
However, for the sake of face, they didn't want to admit it, so they made various excuses.
This was something that was tacitly understood.
After all, the excuses given by the media are not unreasonable.
However, Chen Jie did not give them any chance to cover up. His words directly exposed the minds of these reporters.
And the last words he left were more like a declaration of war.
Waiting to see what you look like at that time?
What does it look like? If it is true, as Chen Jie said, that Kwame Brown is getting better every game and lasts for a long time, then there is no doubt that no one will say that he is a parallel import, and no one will say that Kwame Brown is a parallel import.
The Eddy Curry trade was a no-brainer.
At that time, even if the media did not want to admit it, they had to admit that their previous analysis was wrong.
The meaning of Chen Jie's words was that at that time, the media were all slapped in the face, so he wanted to see the jokes of these reporters?
Several reporters who were irritated by Chen Jie's words couldn't help but loudly said: "What if Kwame does not perform well in the future? Jayshawn, are you so sure that Kwame can continue to perform well?
"
After hearing what this reporter said, Chen Jie was not angry, but instead smiled.
"I'm glad to see your doubts. Well, let's make a bet. I remember that we have made a bet before. That time, I seemed to have won. Now, I will give you a chance to make a comeback.
Let’s bet on Kwame’s performance. If by the end of the season, Kwame’s number is not 158, then I will apologize to you in front of the public. If Kwame’s number is 158, then you will publish it in your respective newspapers or
How about writing a special apology letter to Kwame on the website?”
158?
After hearing Chen Jie's words, the media were stunned.
This data shouldn't be that simple, right?
There are only four players in the league who can win 2010, Kevin Garnett, Tim Duncan, Shawn Marion, and Shaquille O'Neal. Of course, this 2010 refers to points and rebounds. And if you can win 158, then
It is the level second only to these four players. Doesn’t the Rockets’ Yao Ming also have such data?
Can Kwame compare with Yao Ming? The media don’t believe it!
After thinking for a while, the media nodded one by one. This bet was considered effective.
Seeing that the media agreed, Chen Jie smiled slightly, shrugged, and stood up.
There is nothing interesting in today's press conference. Chen Jie is going to go out and take Li Ming'er away.
But just as he was walking towards the players' and coaches' lounge, he glanced at the media lounge consciously. Suddenly, his body froze and he saw a familiar figure.
