Chapter 137 Post-match interview
Xu Tian stayed on the sidelines and accepted the live interview with the host of Tencent.
Zhou Ling'an is the resident reporter specially assigned by Tencent Sports and ESPN. This pretty lady is responsible for most of the sideline interviews. Now she even interviewed Xu Tian, who played well in this field.
Xu Tian wiped the sweat off his face with a towel, put it on his shoulders, and walked to Zhou Ling'an for an interview.
Zhou Ling'an first shook hands with Xu Tian, and then started the interview process, "Xu Tian, let's say hello to the domestic fans first!"
Xu Tian put on the towel and greeted briefly, "Hello fans, I'm Xu Tian!"
"Okay, Xu Tian! Can you talk about tonight's game, how did you win this game?"
Xu Tian thought for a moment after hearing the question, and replied: "First of all, we should do a good job of defense, and then play what we are good at on the basis of defense. If we play steadily, we can basically win the game!"
"Now that defense is mentioned, let's talk about this! Your defense is not good at the beginning of the season. Since when did you start to make progress?"
"The arrival of Paul George has greatly improved the team." Xu Tian was very clear about this question and answered smoothly, "His defense is very good, which reduces the pressure on the inside defense and can concentrate on single defense. The team's defensive efficiency has improved a lot."
Zhou Ling'an smiled lightly, and then said: "Okay! After talking about the team, let's talk about you!"
Xu Tian wiped the sweat from his forehead with the corner of the towel, and asked, "Just ask, and I will answer whatever I can."
"You are really as straightforward as the outside world says." Zhou Ling'an's smile stunned many fans sitting in front of the computer. "Many people say that your game style is similar to that of a magician. What do you think of this point of view?"
"I shoot better than the magician!" Xu Tian made a joke first, and then quickly explained, "It's just a joke. I have been training with Kobe in the summer, and the most he said to me is 'Don't be the next one, but I want to be my first self', the words that have been used down are-my game style is not like anyone else, it is Xu Tian's game style."
Zhou Ling'an first repeated that she would not be the next one, and then asked: "The last question. What are your expectations for this season?"
Xu Tian replied without hesitation: "The primary goal is to help the team reach the playoffs. If possible, I want to strive for the championship!"
"Okay. Then I wish the Lakers and you all the best in the season!" Zhou Ling'an originally wanted to ask another question, but she said it was the last question, so she had to end the interview.
Before Xu Tian walked into the player tunnel, he took off his wrist guards and gave them to a small fan with his arms open beside the tunnel.
The little fan is only 4 or 5 years old, and he has no idea what he is getting.The adults behind him were not like this, excitedly picked up the child, and showed the bracelet to the camera aimed at him.
DeRozan is a Kobe fan. After the game, he didn't feel too sad. He hurried to the home team's locker room and wanted to seize the opportunity to talk to Kobe.
The Lakers staff didn't know what DeRozan meant, thought he was looking for trouble, and stopped him outside the locker room.
On the way back to the locker room, Xu Tian told the reporters that there would be a special press conference, and rejected their impromptu interview, just in time to see DeRozan talking with the staff, and asked, "Steve, are you here?" do what?"
When DeRozan heard Xu Tian's words, he turned his head and said, "Xu, I want to meet Kobe in the locker room."
Steve knew Xu Tian's position in the locker room, saw him coming, and handed over the matter to Xu Tian.
"No problem!" Xu Tian said and led DeRozan into the Lakers locker room.
Kobe was in a pretty good mood. When Xu Tian and DeRozan entered the locker room, he was sitting on a chair joking with Paul George, who was next to him after taking a shower.
Xu Tian led DeRozan to the front of the two, and after explaining DeRozan's intentions, Xu Tian went to the bathroom to deal with the remaining sweat from the game and prepare for the next post-match interview.
Kobe didn't play tonight and couldn't exchange jerseys with DeRozan, an enthusiastic "fan". He could only sign the KOBE ZOOM I sneakers and give them to DeRozan.
Holding his signature sneakers, DeRozan chatted cordially with Kobe. Ten minutes later, he left the Lakers locker room contentedly and embarked on the journey back to the team's locker room.
Alice and Boss Jin had already arrived at the parking lot, and the warm greetings from the fans seemed to be still ringing in their ears on the way, making them clearly aware of how popular Xu Tian is in Los Angeles now.
Xu Tian and George changed into suits and attended the post-match press conference, answering various questions that media reporters wanted to know.
A reporter from Yahoo Sports asked: "Paul, you have partnered with Xu for a few games, what do you think of his performance?"
Paul George is used to dealing with the post-game press conference, and he answered with ease: "I checked Xu's information on the night I was traded to the Lakers. When I saw that his draft template was LeBron, I couldn't believe it. Now with He played with him twice, and I think their styles are different, but Xu is really good."
Yahoo reporter asked: "Do you mean Xu is better?"
"Don't get me wrong! LeBron is undoubtedly the strongest player in the league, but in terms of impact on the game, Xu may not be weaker than him."
Xu Tian realized that George's answer might be misinterpreted by the media, and added: "I still have a long way to go, and I'm not as good as Paul said."
Xu Tian, who ESPN reporters are familiar with, is domineering. Suddenly hearing him say self-effacing words, I really feel a little uncomfortable, and asked: "Xu, you once said that you will defeat the entire league team and compete for the MVP. Is this true?" Isn't that proof that you think you're the best player?"
Xu Tian knew that what he said in the past could not be undone, and he replied: "Whether it is to defeat the entire league or compete for the MVP of the regular season, it must be based on the team's good record, so this is a question about the team, and I am very concerned about the team. Very confident."
The ESPN reporter knew for the first time that Xu Tian still had a modest side, and realized that he had demonized him in the past, so he didn't think about the problem for a while, so he had to sit back in his seat.
Kobe didn't have an interview mission, and chatted with Lillard, who sent a text message asking if he would play in the next game, and told the Comey that he would be back in the next away game against the Warriors.
Lillard expressed regret that he could not play against Kobe, and at the same time expressed that he wanted to get signed sneakers, and hoped that Kobe could fulfill his wish.
Bryant readily accepted the request, then stepped out of the locker room and set foot on the journey home.
Xu Tian and George accepted a lot of interviews. After the interviews, the exhausted two simply said good night to each other, and parted ways in the player tunnel, ending the day's work.
