Chapter 298 The Sixth Scene!
Presti was dissatisfied with the players complaining about the referee's affairs, because that's how they were punished. Instead of looking for their reasons, it's better to imagine how they can lead the opponent at such a critical moment next time, so that they can't come back at all!
Presti's words made every player in the locker room bow their heads, yes, what's the use of them complaining about the referee, if they make a penalty like this next time, don't you guys stop playing?Instead of complaining and changing the external environment, it is better to improve yourself and make yourself stronger!
The players immediately got up quickly, went to take a shower, and attended the press conference!
······
Half an hour later, at the Hornets press conference, Presti and the players began to answer questions from the reporters!
"Presti, what do you think of the final referee's penalty!"
Presti said with a smile: "They made the penalty like that. I think there must be a reason for them to make the penalty like that. We can't change it! Although I don't understand that penalty!"
"Did this penalty directly affect the direction of the game?"
Presti continued: "Yeah, we would have had a chance to win!"
"What do you think of Westbrook's last shot!"
Presti said with a smile: "To be honest, I'm not surprised that he can hit that goal, I'm just surprised that the goal was scored by me! I have always said that Westbrook is an extremely good player, with historical levels of super physical fitness, super learning ability, super self-esteem and a big heart at critical moments!"
"Then have you ever thought that they are as good as they are today?"
"Haha, to be precise, I think he is much better than today! Believe me, he will be one of the signs of this league in two years!" Presti said confidently.
"The next game will be in New Orleans, your home stadium! Do you have anything to say?"
Presti said seriously: "New Orleans fans, even if you come to watch the game live, I promise you, we will definitely win the next game!"
Wow, the reporter took pictures immediately!This is a declaration of war!
The reporter asked Paul George again: "You were fouled, but you didn't blow it. What were you thinking at that time?"
Paul George said: "Honestly, I don't understand, so I went up and asked, why?"
"Why is that?" the reporter asked curiously.
"Haha, he didn't say anything, and then called the coach a foul!" Paul George said with a sudden smile.
"You and Durant often face each other, how do you evaluate this player?"
Paul George admired: "Honestly speaking, he is so talented. This is really the first time I have met someone with such a tall character and such a good touch. To be honest, I always thought that such a person did not exist! It feels very good to play against him, which makes me improve and allows me to improve myself."
"What about Westbrook?"
"Killer! Can you stop mentioning it, he killed us, it's hard!"
"Curry, you performed very well tonight, with several long three-pointers and two answerballs, how did you adjust quickly?"
"Actually, I haven't adjusted much. It will happen whether I make or not. I always think that I have no problem. Besides, I have Presti who has been encouraging me!"
"What do you think of Westbrook's performance tonight?"
"Excellent!" Curry praised.
Curry continued: "When I was in the Thunder, he was a beast. During the training game, he flew into the sky! I felt that no one could really stop him! And tonight also verified this point!"
"Thompson, Westbrook threw the game-winning shot in front of you, how does it feel?"
"Too bad," Thompson said dejectedly.
"How do you feel about this ball?"
"Even if the goal was scored, I couldn't help it. I was about to seal him in the face, but it was scored!" Thompson said helplessly.
"The next game is coming soon. There is a high probability that you will face Westbrook. Is there any way?"
"In the next game, I will defend better than this time!" Thompson said firmly.
·····
At the Thunder press conference, the reporter immediately asked: "Westbrook, you are the hero of the Thunder tonight, what were you thinking before you made that goal?"
Westbrook said with a smile: "I didn't think about anything, I just wanted to win!"
"At the last moment, your rebounding! Very good, how did you do it?"
"I just want to win, I want to win every possession. In the end we didn't make a shot, but we still have a chance, that is, to get a rebound! And that rebound seems to be flying from my side, and I will definitely try to get it!" Westbrook said with a smile.
"There is an action during the game. You grab the ball and dribble it to the bottom corner. You want to give it to Durant, right?"
"Yes, I want to give it to Durant, the most stable point for our team," Westbrook nodded.
"You didn't pass at the last moment, but threw it away,"
Westbrook said: "That's because they blocked the route. Once I pass it, it must be a mistake!"
"Now that you scored a goal, it's still a lore goal. What do you want to say?"
"It feels great, we won," Westbrook said with a smile.
"Then next time there is a key ball, will you choose to throw it yourself or hand it to Durant?"
"Give it to Durant!" Westbrook didn't hesitate!
The reporter immediately looked at Durant and said, "Durant, Westbrook threw a key goal tonight! Next time there is such a moment, will you give it to him or throw it yourself?"
Durant said with a smile: "Look at the positions and opportunities of the two of us, as well as the feeling of the night."
"The next game, you will play in New Orleans. Your away record has been bad, and the next game, the Tianwangshan battle, is very important. How do you adjust?"
Durant said self-confidently: "After these two games, we have grown up and won't be the same as last time. We will definitely win this game. We already have a way to deal with the Hornets. The final victory must be us!"
"Brooks, what do you think of the next game?"
Brooks said to himself: "I said before that we will definitely beat the Hornets at home! We did it, and the next game is in New Orleans, and we will definitely beat them!"
······
After the press conference, Presti and the players quickly returned to New Orleans. After the break, they immediately started training. At this time, the players were training harder than before. They had to win the game in front of the fans!
Soon, the sixth game of the series between the Thunder and the Hornets will begin!
Before the game started, basketball fans all over the United States and other countries were talking about it, because everyone knew that whoever won the game would win the Western Conference Finals!And if they win the Western Conference finals, the championship will not be far away, because everyone thinks that going out of the Western Conference is equivalent to winning the championship!
