NBA Legends Manager

Chapter 90 Thunder's New History
During the press conference, Presti sat in the middle, and Harden sat on Presti's right,
After seeing Presti and his players sitting down one after another, the reporter was about to ask a question. Presti took the lead and said: "Before you ask questions, I want to ask you a question first."

The reporters looked at each other, wide-eyed and small-eyed, what the hell is Presti doing, isn't the press conference a reporter asking them questions?
Presti put his right hand on Harden's shoulder, patted and said, "What do you think of Harden tonight."

Reporter, look at me, I look at you, you don’t know how to answer, you don’t know who to answer,

"That little reporter in the middle in blue, what do you think?" Presti pointed with his finger.

In this reporter's heart, 1 you are galloping past, what is the matter, can only stand up and say helplessly: "It is very good, the key to this victory tonight."

Satisfied, Presti nodded his approval.

Presti's smile and nodding made the speechless reporter burst out laughing instantly. There was no way it could be done. This was so funny. It was the first time that a reporter who had been working for so many years encountered an interviewee interviewing him in turn.

Presti clasped his hands together to support his chin, and continued to ask: "So if you are the general manager of the team, what kind of chips are you willing to exchange for him?"

Harden didn't show any expression when he heard the word "change". He was still so calm. He knew that even if the opponent Kobe came to change him, Presti would not agree.

Presti still pointed to the reporters below, but the reporter stood up and said one by one: "Well, if I were the general manager of the Nuggets, I would trade Nene." One reporter said: "If I were the general manager of the Jazz, I would take Delonga Millsap." The last reporter said: "If I were the general manager of the Celtics, I would take two first rounds."

After listening to these reporters' answers, Presti shook his head and said, "No change!"

Before the reporter could respond, Presti said, "Fortunately, you're not the general manager of the Celtics, so you want to trade Harden for the first two rounds? Your vision is too bad! The Nuggets are okay, but Nene is not good. The Jazz's general manager is not bad, and you have the potential to be the general manager!"

Everyone heard Presti's speech, as if he could become the general manager by raising the stakes. Just when the reporter was about to start interviewing and asking questions, Presti stood up and said, "Well, let's ask this question today. We are going back to Oklahoma."

After speaking, without waiting for the reporter to speak, he immediately left the press conference with the players,

This, what does this mean, we haven't interviewed yet, the reporters looked at each other in blank dismay,

And at the press conference, "Haha" Jordan burst out laughing immediately. Hearing Jordan's laugh, the other team members couldn't help laughing too. The coach was so funny. It was the first time they saw that they could play like this at a press conference. It was the first time they saw so many reporters deflated at the same time.
Presti took a step, only to realize that there was something left to say, and immediately went back and poked his head to the press conference site. Seeing that many reporters were discussing heatedly, Presti said: "As for why today's third quarter became a waste of time, it was because yesterday's reporter's question ignited our entire team! So don't ask such questions."

After Presti finished speaking, he immediately retracted his body and led the players back to the locker room. When the Thunder players saw this, even Jeff Green, who had always been serious, laughed.

At the press conference, a reporter couldn't help but angrily said: "It's too much, Presti!"

"That's right, that's right! He's playing with fire!"

"He is challenging the authority of the media."

"How do we sanction him?"

……

Does Presti care?Of course I care, but why dare to do this? It’s very simple. The media and the players or the team itself are mutually beneficial, and no one can do without the other. He is such a topical figure now. The league needs him, and of course the media also needs him.

So, what can this group of reporters do?Just write some articles to smear him or the Thunder players. Are there any disadvantages? Yes, but compared with the disadvantages, the advantages come more.

The plane landed in Oklahoma, and when Presti and his team members came out, "OKC! OKC!..." kept coming to their ears. Presti and his team members smiled uncontrollably, "Thunder fans are here to pick up the plane again", the voice was really warm.

Outside the iron gate, some Thunder fans held signs with OKC, some with Curry and Westbrook's names on them, some with Durant's name on them, etc. Although the airport was empty, the shouts of the fans were deafening!
The players shook hands with the fans outside the gate one after another, and Presti was also infected by this situation. He finally understood the feelings of the players when he watched the Thunder fans pick him up from the plane in his previous life.

The fans heard Presti's shouts, and the shouts became more enthusiastic and louder!And the players roared along with the fans!

On April 4th, the fifth playoff game between the Thunder and the Trail Blazers will be held at Chesapeake Energy Stadium. The stadium is full of fans, and it looks like a blue ocean from a distance. They have been waiting for a long time. Some fans even moved two hours ahead of time. It is not for anything else, just to witness the Thunder's historic entry into the semifinals of the playoffs!

In the locker room, Presti stood at the door, waving his hand and said: "Today is our home stadium, remember the fans who picked us up that day? I learned later that some of them even waited there for 8 hours. After 4 games, you are already familiar with the intensity of the playoffs.
Today we defeated them in one fell swoop and gave back to our pick-up fans, okay! "

"Okay!" The players answered in unison!
"Go, kill them." Presti waved his hand, then walked out of the locker room towards the field, and the players followed Presti's footsteps.

When Presti led the players through the player tunnel to the stadium, the stadium exploded instantly!All the fans stood up and applauded and shouted "OKC!" "OKC!" "OKC!" in unison...

How can such fans not be loved, how can they make the players resist fighting desperately in such a home game, and how can they make the visiting team feel good when they are in an away game like this!
Presti looked at the Blazers players. Although there was no obvious fluctuation on his face, Presti knew that the pressure in their hearts must be unimaginable. After all, with a 3:1 record, they still have such a crazy away game.
