The convulsion superstar of basketball

Chapter 23 23. This is the fire

For the Bulls, even Derrick Rose contributed 21 points, 2 rebounds and 7 assists efficiently in this game.

But as the No. [-] pick, Rose's limelight in this game was completely robbed by the rookie of the same year he was facing.

This also made Rose feel incredible when he was still staring at the scorer on the field after the game.

Then after the game ended, Rose took the initiative to walk towards Su Jiu, and the two hugged on the sidelines.

"You are definitely a good player. It is ridiculous that you will not be selected in this year's draft. This is really incredible."

"I feel like the teams that don't draft you right now are going to regret it very much."

"You are a respectable opponent. I hope you can maintain this state and take the main position early, because I can't help but look forward to the next fight with you."

Seeing Su Jiu with a smile on his face, Ross also said to him with a smile.

On the field, people always shed their blood, but off the field, they cherish each other with the players they recognize.

Until now, Derrick Rose couldn't believe that the guy in front of him actually participated in the draft in the same year as himself.

And the most ridiculous thing is that he lost the election? !

"Thank you, you are also very strong. The reason why this game can restrict you on the defensive end is because I have watched a lot of your videos, so I have some understanding of your style of play."

"But your style of play is really hurting your body. Although it is impossible for you to change your style of play, I hope you can practice more stable shooting early."

"Because no matter how good we play, it's all based on our body being able to achieve a healthy foundation."

"If your body is no longer healthy, then I will lack a partner to fight in the future, haha."

After hugging Rose heavily, Su Jiu warned him carefully.

Su Jiu is not a good person, and to be honest, he was not related to these people in his previous life, but in the NBA, competitive sports does not necessarily mean winning or losing.

Although most people will only remember the final winner, the premature withering of roses is indeed a great loss for basketball.

Just after Su Jiu and Ross finished exchanging greetings, Su Jiu, who was about to follow the big team back to the locker room to take a shower, heard Van Gundy's voice calling him.

"Su, go take a shower, it's best to hurry up, and follow me to the press conference later."

Hearing Van Gundy's words, Su Jiu froze on the spot. Obviously, he never thought that Van Gundy would choose to take him to the press conference.

Although the head coach can bring a few players to the press conference of each game, most of these players are the main force of the team, or they have a chance to be brought by the head coach to show their faces when they have played particularly explosive data in the game.

Don't underestimate this short few minutes of showing your face, this kind of opportunity has a lot of popularity publicity.

Especially for a player like Su Jiu who hasn't even settled in the rotation, this kind of opportunity is even more rare.

"Ah, okay, I'm going to take a shower now."

Su Jiu, who then reacted, was very excited in his heart, turned around and ran towards the player tunnel, but it was not good to surpass the old senior in front of him, otherwise it would inevitably appear too utilitarian.

All I could do was crazily shout in my heart:

"Hurry up, you walked so fast after the competition last time, but this time you walked so slowly, is this the rhythm of his group playing me?!"

"Su, why are you walking so fast? You are still in such a hurry after the game is over. If you don't know, you might think you are late for training, haha."

Su Jiu performed very well in this game, and Courtney Lee was also happy for his brother.

At first, seeing Su Jiu chatting with Rose on the sidelines, Courtney Lee did not wait on the sidelines, but took the lead to return to the locker room with the team.

Then I felt something "swoosh" past me, and when I looked up, it turned out to be Su Jiu.

"Ahem, you'll know in a while."

After taking a shower, Su Jiu followed Van Gundy to the post-match press conference.

As soon as I entered the small room, it was already crowded with all kinds of people, men and women, some of them were carrying a big video camera, and some of them were only holding a small digital camera.

But one thing is the same, all of them are reporters from the sports sector.

As soon as a few people came in, a strong flash of light erupted in the room instantly, and it was obvious that the reporters were taking pictures of themselves.

Su Jiu, who was facing this kind of scene for the first time, was still a little nervous, and followed closely behind Howard, for fear that he would fall behind and accidentally sit in the wrong place.

Although Su Jiu has never eaten pork, he has seen pigs run. The middle seat must be reserved for the head coach, but I don't know if there are other things to say about other seats.

Anyway, it was the first time I came to this kind of occasion, and I followed at the end, and sat in the last remaining seat, Su Jiu felt that this must be right.

This time, only Howard and Su Jiu were present at the post-match press conference with Van Gundy.

Howard is obviously already a frequent visitor to this kind of occasion, so he didn't feel nervous at all. He always had a smile on his face, and he was still persuading Su Jiu happily:

"Don't be nervous, Su. It's just like going to the zoo. A group of people will take pictures of you and ask you a few questions. Of course, most of the questions are still for the coach."

"I was quite nervous when I participated in this kind of occasion for the first time, but I got used to it after participating in more, so relax and don't be too nervous."

"Huh~, it's much better now, thank you."

Su Jiu smiled at Howard to express his thanks.

After all, after coming to the team, Howard is obviously one of the few friends who usually likes to make some jokes with him.

Without the care of him and Turkoglu, Su Jiu's journey would have been more difficult.

"Coach Stan, the Magic have won two consecutive victories at home since the start of the game, and both games ended with big wins. So what kind of expectations, or plans, do you have for the Magic this season?"

Hearing the question raised by the reporter, Van Gundy pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose with his hand, and then said:

"The Magic has reached the peak of the team this season, both in terms of the running-in of the lineup and the atmosphere of the team. Therefore, the Magic has only one goal this season, and that is to hit the championship."

Reporter: "Then Su Jiu, the undrafted rookie signed by the team this season, also performed very well in these two games."

"In this game, the matchup with No. [-] pick Derek did not fall in the slightest. And you said before that you resisted all opinions and insisted on letting the team sign Su Jiu."

"Then may I ask if Su will add more playing time in the next games, because the ability he has shown so far is fully worthy of his current worth."
