The Los Angeles reporters poured into the locker room. Their target was not the Rockets' big names, but Wen Hao, who had been sitting silently in the corner.
"Wen, can you talk about how it feels to be defeated by Paul?"
The reporter's questions were quite sharp and he didn't care about the feelings of the interviewee. Wen Hao didn't even raise his head and had no intention of paying attention to the reporter.
"Wen, you said before the game that you are capable of challenging CP3. Do you still think so now?"
"I scored 23 points in the first half. I was guarded by Paul for only five minutes in the second half and didn't score a single point. However, Paul scored 8 points and 3 assists in five minutes. What do you think?"
"Please tell me in one sentence how you feel about playing against Chris."
…
More than a dozen reporters gathered around Wen Hao like flies, asking endless questions like this. Almost all of these questions were directed at Wen Hao's words before the game, "I have the ability to challenge Paul." In
To the Rockets soldiers, these questions were all mocking in nature.
Under the siege of these reporters, Wen Hao kept his head lowered and did not say a word. His expression was dull, as if he had lost his soul.
Seeing that Wen Hao was so lost and being besieged by reporters, Dayao secretly shook his head. He knew what kind of blow Wen Hao had suffered, and he also knew what Wen Hao's problem was. The problem this time was different from the last time
Almost the same, they are all too confident or arrogant. A player who has been unable to play for a long time suddenly performs well in several games in a row, and even has the momentum to compete with those super point guards, it is inevitable that he will be proud.
However, the problem last time was not that big. After all, although Wen Hao was a little proud at the time, he had not yet put his pride on the table. In the end, he could be proud silently, or he could solve it silently.
But this time is different. Wen Hao had already said that before the game. After the media exaggerated it, almost everyone knew that Wen Hao was arrogant enough to challenge Paul. But now, his arrogant mentality collapsed in the face of the facts.
, everyone is watching his joke. What Wen Hao has to endure is not only the psychological pressure of being defeated by Paul, but also the ridicule and teasing from the outside world.
Rumors are stronger than tigers.
Dayao, who has played in the NBA for more than ten years, knows this very well. He has witnessed many such facts with his own eyes. Players who were originally very talented eventually sank and even stayed away from basketball in the face of constant rumors.
It can be seen that playing in the NBA is not as simple as it seems. The NBA is cruel.
Of course, there are some determined people who did not sink under the overwhelming rumors. Instead, they fought against the rumors with their own efforts, and finally broke out and stood at the top of the NBA.
Dayao himself is such a person. He was questioned when he first entered the NBA, but eventually exploded into a giant in the East. After returning to the NBA, he was questioned again, but he still did not flinch. He took the pressure and waited for the opportunity to explode.
"Wen Hao, you must bear it." Dayao said secretly in his heart.
After the reporters asked Wen Hao dozens of questions but received no answer, they immediately gave up chattering about Wen Hao. But they all had smiles on their lips. Watching Wen Hao walk towards the physical therapy room expressionlessly, they
I already know in my heart what I want to write next.
Wen Hao's silence does not mean that they have nothing to write about. As long as they write about Wen Hao's dejected look, it will be enough for the fans to talk about it all day long. They want the entire United States to know what the Chinese was after being defeated by Paul.
How desperate.
Moreover, they had another goal. Turning their heads, they swarmed towards Harden again.
"The Rockets lost tonight, could you please tell me why?"
"The Rockets played very well in the first half, why did they collapse in the second half?"
…
Questions were thrown at Harden one after another. But Harden ignored them and fiddled with his sneakers with his head lowered. Until two minutes later, when the reporters were noisy and impatient anymore, he raised his head: "If we can share the ball,
"Resolutely implement the coach's intention, especially if we pass more passes in the third quarter, we will probably not lose. That's all I have to say." After finishing speaking, Harden entered the physical therapy room without looking back.
.
At this moment, the reporters were excited again. Although Harden didn't say it clearly, he was obviously complaining about Wen Hao not passing the ball to him. This time he had something to write about! Thinking of this, they were all excited.
In the rental house in Houston, Yu Song looked at Wen Hao in the picture with his head lowered and said nothing, and his heart suddenly poured cold water. He thought that Wen Hao would become famous in one fell swoop by defeating Paul, but he didn't expect that he would become famous in the end.
In this way, Wen Hao became a joke in the entire basketball world.
This is still secondary. The important thing is that such a fuss will be extremely detrimental to Wen Hao's participation in the Nike competition more than 20 days later. You must know that Nike spokespersons always need to have a very good image, be positive, pursue limits, and surpass themselves.
...rather than the image of being arrogant but leading to miserable defeat.
This is what Yu Song considers as an agent.
But he is not just an agent, he is also Wen Hao's friend. As a friend, what he is more worried about at this time is whether Wen Hao will fail to recover in the face of such a heavy blow, or even... give up basketball and give up his dream?
If this is the case, it will be a devastating blow.
Thinking of this, Yu Song immediately took out his phone and dialed it to Wen Hao. But the phone was turned off. Yu Song wiped his forehead, quickly typed a line and sent it to Wen Hao: Wen Hao, don't give up, this is just
The beginning, not the end.
…
In another rental house, intern Harper watched Wen Hao on the TV screen without saying a word, and he also fell silent.
Wen Hao's offensive methods are single. In addition to breakthrough points and layups after breakthroughs, there are almost no other offensive methods. He has long pointed out in Wen Hao that if Wen Hao cannot develop other offensive methods,
If he couldn't become a real star, he would face failure. But what he didn't expect was that Wen Hao's failure came so quickly and completely. Facing Paul's efforts, he had no power to fight back.
If it was just a loss to Paul, it wouldn't be too serious, but the problem was Wen Hao's remarks before the game, which made him the laughing stock of everyone immediately after losing.
Harper can already imagine what will happen in major newspapers and online media tomorrow - overwhelming ridicule, accusations like a flash flood, unanimous denial from authorities, abuse from Paul fans and even Wen Hao's own fans...
…
Can Wen Hao bear all this?
Thinking of this, Harper felt anxious. He was still counting on Wen Hao to develop. He couldn't just let Wen Hao disappear under the overwhelming comments. He wanted to help Wen Hao and try his best to help Wen Hao.
He turned on the computer, moved his hands quickly on the keyboard, and a new article flowed out between his fingers.
In this article, in addition to analyzing the game, he also made suggestions for Wen Hao: Yes, he has weaknesses, shortcomings, a single offense, and even some arrogance. But we should also see him
basketball IQ and his passing talent. If we can be tolerant of what he committed this time
Wrong, give him enough room to grow, and I believe he will be able to grow up. If he can survive this setback, his mind will be more mature and calm, and he will develop new offensive techniques and practice his defense well. I
I believe that Wen Hao at that time was definitely reborn from the ashes and was unstoppable.
