Lakers interview room.
Reporters swarmed in and thrust the microphones in front of Jiang Chen.
"Jiang, what do you think of the Bulls' trade? Did you expect the Bulls to trade Ben Gordon?"
"Jiang, your words directly triggered the internal strife of the Bulls. How do you feel now as you see the Bulls making an earthquake-level trade?"
"Jiang, Chicago Bulls fans are madly abusing you on the Internet. What do you think about this?"
"River..."
Reporters couldn't wait to ask questions.
Jiang Chen and Kobe both had strange expressions on their faces.
You reporters really don't give the Mavericks any face!
This was, after all, a pre-game interview before the Mavericks game, and all the questions were about the Bulls. Was that really polite?
I wonder if boss Mark Cuban will scold you reporters during the interview if he finds out.
Jiang Chen complained silently in his heart.
After thinking for a while, he began to answer questions.
"I think the Bulls' trade is very wise. Only under the leadership of Rose can this team achieve a true revival in the post-Jordan era."
"Of course I expected it. After all, compared with Ben Gordon, Ross is younger, works harder, and is more talented."
"When two people are compared, I think even a fool can make a decision."
"Since the internal conflict has reached the point where one person must leave, the person who leaves must be Ben Gordon. However, I didn't expect the Bulls to trade Gordon for Prince, which has greatly improved the Bulls' strength."
"As for the internal strife within the Bulls that was triggered by my words... the reporter who asked me the question, I hope you won't talk nonsense, or I'll sue you for defamation."
"There are also the Bulls fans who abuse me. I can only say that these fans are really stupid. They should thank me because I helped the Bulls speed up their revival."
"I dare to assert that the Bulls can make it to the playoffs this season!"
Jiang Chen answered the questions in order, with clear organization and logic.
The reporters could accept the answer to the first question.
Because as Jiang Chen said, when this internal strife occurred, it had already been decided who would be the winner.
As long as the Bulls management is not stupid, they will definitely choose Rose as the cornerstone of the team!
All I can say is that Ben Gordon was somewhat unwise in handling this matter. It may be that his status as the boss of the Bulls made him a little too proud of himself.
As for the answers to the last two questions, the reporters just listened to them for fun.
After all, Jiang Chen would not really take the reporter who asked the question to court.
As for what he said about helping the Bulls accelerate their revival, there is still a question mark.
Especially the last sentence, the reporters were quite shocked.
The Bulls appear to be very strong, but that is based on the effectiveness of building a team with Rose as the core.
If Rose's performance does not meet expectations, it will be difficult for the Bulls to make the playoffs this season.
But judging from Jiang Chen's attitude, he seems to have great confidence in Ross.
This is such a confusing attitude...
Little did people know that Jiang Chen, who has the memory of two lives, remembered very clearly that the Bulls would have made it to the playoffs this season without the trade.
Now that the team's strength has been significantly enhanced after the trade, coupled with Rose's explosive performance, there is no doubt that they will enter the playoffs.
That's why he is so confident and fearless.
"Jiang Chen, what do you think of the comments made by Mavericks center Dampier on the Internet these days?"
A reporter asked.
Jiang Chen thought for a moment and said, "He is even dumber than the fans of the Chicago Bulls!"
There were some laughs during the interview.
They suddenly discovered that Jiang Chen was still very interesting at certain moments.
Not only that, I think tonight's game will be very interesting.
How will Jiang Chen respond during the game?
It's really exciting!
...
Mavericks interview room.
"Nowitzki, what do you think of teammate Dampier's recent online comments?"
A reporter asked.
In fact, the reporters really wanted to ask Dampier this question, but unfortunately he did not attend today's pre-match interview.
As a less important role player in the team, I can't participate in pre-match interviews in every game.
Only a core player like Nowitzki will participate in pre-match interviews for every game.
"Oh! This is Dampier's freedom of speech. Everyone has the right to freedom of speech. I have no right to comment."
Nowitzki said simply, with no emotion in his voice.
As a typical European player, Nowitzki meets all the requirements of European players, both in terms of technology and character.
He is a very kind person.
"Do you think Dampier's words can have an impact on the game?"
A reporter asked.
"I hope it can have some positive impact, such as Dampier can work hard on the court and practice what he said to help us beat the Lakers."
Nowitzki said, even with some anticipation in his tone.
Since Dampier dares to say this, he must be confident.
Although he often brags, he occasionally has some highlights on the court.
The absence of Lakers starting center Bynum is actually an opportunity for Dampier. It depends on whether he can seize it.
The reporters asked a few simple questions and ended the pre-match interview.
After the players from both sides got ready in the locker room, they walked through the long player tunnel and came to the court.
The fans at the scene instantly burst into loud cheers.
Some fans even started to shout "Dampier"'s name and started to make a fuss.
Dampier smiled and calmly raised his hand, waved to the fans, with a satisfied look on his face.
He really enjoyed the feeling of being sought after.
It seems that the hype on the Internet these two days has been very effective. Next, it all depends on my performance in the competition.
Without Bynum, there is no suspense in the Lakers' restricted area. Although Gasol is also very strong, he also has to defend Nowitzki, and it is difficult for him to take care of himself.
The only suspense is whether Jiang Chen will appear at the center position.
If I really beat Jiang Chen, I will be really famous this time!
No matter what, the team's status will increase, the number of fans will increase, and even the amount of the next contract may increase.
Danpier thought happily, with determination in his eyes.
No matter what, he must perform well in this game and let the whole United States see the strength of his second center in the Western Conference.
The pre-match warm-up ended quickly.
As the whistle sounded on the field.
The competition officially begins.
The Lakers' starting lineup is: Gasol, Odom, Jiang Chen, Kobe, Fisher;
The Mavericks' starting lineup is: Dampier, Nowitzki, Josh Howard, Antoine White, and Jason Kidd.
Both teams jump ball.
The referee slammed the basketball high.
Gasol and Dampier jumped up at the same time.
Although Dampier has more explosive power, Gasol's body is more flexible.
With a "pop" sound.
Gasol shot the basketball out.
Bynum on the sidelines excitedly stood up from the bench and roared wildly towards the court.
Gasol: "???"
Audience: "???"
This... is just a normal jump ball. Is it worth getting so excited?
