Starting from the last bus in the NBA

Chapter 32 The counterattack of low-ranked rookies
When he came to the interview area, Wang Hao was really taken aback because there were too many media.

Not only that, large media like ESPN, Fox, and TNT are all there.

It's not surprising when you think about it. Tomorrow is the final of the summer split. Although the summer split is not important, it is rare news during the offseason.

Not only that, there will be a large-scale live broadcast of tomorrow's summer league finals.

Although it is not a national live broadcast of a large TV station, there are many TV stations that broadcast live, and the scope is not small.

"Wang, congratulations on advancing to the final!"

"Thank you, we are all looking forward to tomorrow's game."

"Are you confident about tomorrow's game?"

"Of course, we are a good team and we are full of confidence in that."

"As a nearly undrafted player who beat a lot of high draft picks, do you have anything to say?"

"I want to say, I'm actually not that bad, the 56th pick is really too low, right?"

"Then where do you think you should be selected?"

"I don't know, I don't have a choice after all, so it doesn't matter what I think."

"Then do you have anything to say to the top 28 teams that gave up on you?"

"There is nothing to say, after all, I am a player of the Sonics now."

……

I have to say that these reporters really have no good intentions.

I have been asking Wang Hao, what do you think of those teams that did not choose him, and what do you think of those players who have a higher pick than him?
It is naturally very uncomfortable to have any opinions.

It's just that you can't say this casually, this is a map gun, looking for something!

Reporters don't think it's a big deal for news, but Wang Hao can't be careless, after all, he is just a rookie.

That is, Wang Hao, he can stand still, if it were someone else, he might have fallen into the reporter's trap long ago.

"Look, Wang, it's all about you."

Sure enough, on the second day, the basketball sections of the major media basically had news about Wang Hao.

Not only the summer finals, but also the news of this rookie's big comeback, which is really eye-catching.

"Wang vows to overthrow all high-ranking rookies?"

"I'll make those 28 teams regret it!"

……

Sure enough, the media's ability to take information out of context is definitely leveraged and very cowhide.

Wang Hao restrained himself as much as possible, but it turned out that this kind of titles were everywhere.

Do you want to make another three-year contract?

However, that is, the title is exaggerated enough. As for the content, it is not so secondary.

After all, what Wang Hao said at the end of the interview is all there, and it has to be taken out of context.

Wang Hao didn't say anything at all, and it was absolutely unfeasible to take it and press it on him.

"Okay, today is the last game, we all go all out to win the championship!"

Field's emotions are very passionate. It can be seen that he attaches great importance to today's victory.

Because there is a game at night, it is definitely not possible to train, and the players need enough rest to recover their strength.

Therefore, today's training session is mainly about tactical arrangements. The team's offensive tactics are still aimed at the opponent's defensive tactics.

The Sonics' opponent in the final was the Charlotte Hornets, a team that has always been strong.

Wang Hao took a closer look, what the hell, a group of names that look familiar!

You know, familiarity with this name largely determines the strength of such a player.

In addition to the team's No. [-] pick Baron Davis this year, there is also a well-known rookie at the second position.

The one who said the classic "I thought James was chosen to help me", yes, it was Ricky Davis.

As the No. 21 pick in the first round last year, Ricky Davis' strength should not be underestimated.

Then there is Brad Miller, a player who is even more inspirational than Wang Hao.

As an undrafted pick, he made his debut with the Hornets, and later joined the Bulls and Kings. He has performed very well, and he also joined Mosaic briefly.

As a big player, his coping ability in the high position is very good, but it is a pity that there are too many injuries.

I have to say that the Hornets deserve to be one of the more miserable teams in the NBA.

In the starting lineup, there were actually three undrafted picks.

That's right, the two main strikers, small forward Eddie Robinson and power forward Derek Hood, both lost the draft.

I am used to doing small business, and the Hornets have a good vision, and the players who have been traded out are also very capable.

Just say Eddie Robinson and Derek Hood, their performance in the summer split was better than many draft players.

There are even media comments that this will be a surprise battle, a counterattack by a group of low-ranking rookies.

This is really not nonsense. Except for Baron Davis, there is no lottery player in the finals starter, and most of them are second-round rookies.

The core of the Charlotte Hornets is naturally Baron Davis as a point guard, who performed very well throughout the summer league.

Although he does not have the scoring performance of Francis and Wang Hao, his ability to organize and attack is indeed better.

Baron Davis averaged 16.1 points and 7.4 assists per game in the summer league.

Coupled with Brad Miller's inside support, the two sorted out the Hornets' offense very smoothly.

As for the scoring leader of the Hornets, it is naturally Ricky Davis, who averaged 19.2 points per game.

As for the two on the front line, they naturally focus on defense.

Power forward Derek Hood is only 203 cm, but his physical fitness explodes, and his confrontation is also very tough.

Eddie Robinson, a small forward, is a man of physical fitness, but his skills are relatively rough.

As Wang Hao's opponent, he has naturally studied his opponents and is very active in defense, but it is easy to be too active.

To be honest, Wang Hao has more experience dealing with this kind of physical but inexperienced defensive player.

The Sonics are studying their opponents, and the Charlotte Hornets are naturally the same, after all, it is the first time they have played against each other.

Just as the summer league was about to start, a plane came from the far east and slowly landed in Los Angeles.

After flying for more than ten hours, Zhang Lili only felt that his head was dizzy and he had to take a rest first.

Anyway, it was still early, so I was not in a hurry to go back to my residence, so I just rested at the airport.

Thinking of this time of luck, becoming the host of CCTV's basketball program and a columnist in the sports world, Zhang Lili seldom smiled.

It just so happened that there was a newspaper by his side, so Zhang Lili just picked up the newspaper and read it.

"NBA Summer League...the finals are about to begin?"

However, at the next moment, the familiar Asian face on the newspaper instantly attracted Zhang's reasonable attention.

There is no way, the faces of Asians are quite different from those of Europeans and Americans, let alone such a large cover.

"Wang Hao? Is this really that Wang Hao?"

"No, isn't he a rookie with the 56th overall pick? The kind that barely enters the NBA?"

"What's going on now? The core of the team? Reaching the summer league finals?"

……
