When the Pistons were so tenacious that they left 10 seconds left, Xie Hou still had the sort of people who would suddenly explode, narrowing the gap to within 5 points, which shocked Claire immediately shouted at the top of his voice like a girl who was being robbed into the boudoir by a flower thief: "Arthur, take off your damn appearance uniform!"

Fortunately, reality always says no to the bad form we envision, and so tonight.

The final whistle sounded.

Not chased within 5 points;

Not replaced again;

There was no Claire's roar;

They struggled and did not go well, and they won the game with great difficulty, and tied 1-1 with a big score.

"A happy victory, but unfortunately, we failed to win two home games."

“We lost our home advantage.”

This question is also a question that Xie Hou heard during an on-site interview.

He smiled and said, "This means we need to perform harder away."

The on-site interview is much more interesting than the press release. Xie Hou will meet some beautiful female reporters every night. ESPN is really considerate.

Xie Hou accepted the interview happily. After answering his questions, he would joke with reporters.

He left a good impression on the reporters, and these people became friends with him to a greater or lesser extent. His purpose of making friends is not simply (don't think wrongly), because these people are media people, and they have enough voice in front of the public, and their articles can dominate the direction of public opinion.

Being close to them means that when public opinion in the media that is not conducive to Xie Hou, these people may speak for him.

Xie Hou returned to the locker room, and the atmosphere of winning and losing are completely different.

Please recall how frustrated the Pacers were when they lost the game. They didn't fail in the regular season. But Xie Hou clearly remembered the scenes after the loss. His teammates did not show any more frustration than the night before.

It can be said that the night before yesterday, the Pistons beat them all out of their fighting spirit.

How frustrated they were being beaten by the pistons, how excited they were tonight’s victory.

"Silent, guys!"

"This is just the beginning!"

Claire said loudly that he had to make his players prick up their ears and quickly put the victory down.

"I want to say that you did a good job tonight, which is exciting, but there are still many things to improve. Before that, I need a few people to accompany me to the reporter's questioning."

Only when you win, the reporter's questioning is easy.

Xie Hou will attend every press conference, and he has long been accustomed to being one of them.

The question tonight is, who else is going to attend the press conference besides Xie Hou?

This matter was decided by Claire. He did not ask Artest to be interrogated by the reporter. There must be many people waiting to ask him what happened to the Pistons. Artest is the kind of monster who doesn't know what he will do once it is placed in front of the reporter. For the sake of world peace, he should stay here and be crazy.

As the team's No. 2 star, O'Neal Jr. should have been a regular at press conferences, but he has a weird personality, doesn't like to deal with journalists, and has a bad relationship with the media.

The media doesn’t like him, and he doesn’t like the media, so unless he performs well (such as 3020), it’s better to take others.

Claire thought about it carefully and finally brought Shehou, Miller and older rookie Papalucas who performed well in the last two games.

At the press release, Miller and Papalucas were there, and Xie Hou was very modest.

Although he was the best player tonight, the microphone was basically Claire and Miller.

Claire is the head coach, and he never forgets to praise Xie Hou in front of the media. The more he knows Xie Hou, the more he knows how important this matter is: "As a young man, Arthur knows how to enjoy the game, he shows a very tough and aggressive side. Being able to play such a high level in such a high-intensity game is incredible for a young man who plays the playoffs for the first time! I have been saying all season long that we are a team led by superstars, and Arthur proves that I am right tonight."

Xie Hou looked modest. He would have a beautiful dream tonight. He hoped that Claire's eloquence in his dream would be better than he is now.

As the team's spiritual leader, Miller took advantage of his previous shame tonight and won the second highest 21 points in the team.

But the question he was asked by reporters was not about the offense of bottoming out and rebounding, but his way of provoking the Pistons. The reporter noticed that he would leave every time he would take the matter and would not have physical conflicts with the young Pistons.

Miller still has the same old saying: "I competed with Michael Jordan back then, and I won't apologize for my behavior. This is how I play. You may not support it, but you have to accept it."

Xie Hou felt that this would cause some trouble, so he interrupted: "In this game, Reggie is our hero. He made a significant three-pointer and acted very aggressively. He is the kind of teammate who can make people feel at ease to pass the ball to his. We are in a peaceful era, and if I must go to the battlefield one day, I will choose to be with him."

Miller nodded slightly, and the compliment to Xie Hou was very helpful.

The reporter will ask some sensitive questions. Inexperienced players or players who don’t care about such things will open their mouths and say whatever they think.

In other words, places like Indiana have little influence. If you switch to other cities, big mouths like Miller, which have not changed for twenty years, I don’t know how many unnecessary disputes and storms will cause.

Papalucas followed Claire to a press conference for the first time, which in Europe was his daily routine.

And in NBA, he is a very old rookie.

Suddenly he was surrounded by spotlights, and even he would feel a little uneasy.

Claire helped him relieve some of the pressure, and he gently told reporters: "Theo was what we watched him grow up. He had a difficult time, doubting that he could not gain a foothold in the league, and then he gradually regained his confidence. I always thought he could be a very good NBA player, just like tonight, he played a crucial role."

What makes people most happy is watching their opponents accept interviews.

At the end of the last game, the Pistons were arrogant and looked forward to the finals by fans and their opponents.

I've returned tonight, and the whole team didn't smile.

Larry Brown's face was even more ugly and scary.

"There are two kinds of people in the world, one desires victory and one hates failure. I will define myself as the second type of person. Victory is great, and that's what we mean by standing here. But as a competitor and a coach, what keeps you going is failure. Lying in bed, you think: What can I do? How can I better help the team?"

“Coaching is a painful job. After failure you get insomnia and thinking about things like ‘How can I better help the team?’. That’s how I feel now.”

Brown felt pain, and his pain would help his opponents fall asleep better on this tired night.

The press conference ended and Claire returned to the locker room to make a summary for 10 minutes.

According to his previous style, this summary tonight should be considered as his misperforming performance. If we were to say it, Claire would probably not finish it in half an hour. He saw the exhaustion of the players, so he raised his mouth and let them go.

Leaving the locker room, the players are like free-flying birds.

Xie Hou decided to go to Paradise Valley and treat himself with delicious roasted lamb legs with a cup of yogurt.

"Can we change a place?"

"Switch to a place without roasted lamb legs? I refuse!"

Xie Hou would rather separate from them than give up roasted lamb legs, and his teammates did not persist.

In Indianapolis, there are no more upscale entertainment projects except for nightclubs after the competition.

And Paradise Valley can be regarded as the best nightclub in the area.

Even if it is not the best, it is still the top three, and I can't check much between each other.

So, go to Paradise Valley.

Xie Hou ate the roast lamb legs that he had been thinking about for several days, and his teammates ate and drank as much as they could, and by the way, they watched the dancers who worked all night.

Xie Hou was having a midnight snack with entertainment.

Miller wanted to give him a thigh dance.

He pushed his hands and refused: "Do you think I wasn't bad enough last time?"

Artest was already having fun and reminded Xie Hou: "Don't worry, this place is closed, there are no paparazzi!" (Translation: Except for Tianzhidizhi teammates and parties involved, no one else knows what you do here)

The dancer also glared at Xie Hou at the right time.

Xie Hou's heart was beating quickly whenever he thought of these women who had received countless men before him.

It was not a shaking beating, but a disgusting beating.

"No, I'm not interested." Xie Hou said.

He didn't want it, and his teammates couldn't force it because he only drank yogurt and not alcohol.

Xie Hou was just like usual. After having a midnight snack, he left after paying his bill, leaving his teammates to continue making trouble here.

His teammates would play here until dawn, and some would even go to bed here directly.

It is said that Kenneth Anderson has not slept at home in a month more than he has in a nightclub.

Xie Hou is not alone tonight.

Papalucas was with him. He didn't usually come to the nightclub. He was happy tonight and would accompany others.

He is more boring than Xie Hou.

Even if Xie Hou’s purpose is simple, he is just for midnight snacks, he can still make everyone laugh with his mouth.

The Greeks were bored.

Eat midnight snacks? Don’t be hungry (he strictly abides by dietary regulations);

Talk about life with the flesh or dancer? I have no mood (never have no mood);

Drink some alcohol? Not thirsty (if he says he doesn't drink, it's fine, he says he's not thirsty);

Once Miller couldn't help but ask him why he came here since he did nothing? Well asked, and Papalucas's answer calmed everyone down: "I don't know either."
