On August 15, the Wizards held a press conference at the MCI Center in Washington.
Before holding the press conference, the Wizards' official statement was that it was a regular media meeting for the team's new coach Wang Shuo.
But since Jordan sold his Wizards stock in late July, people are now obviously more concerned about a series of issues such as whether Jordan will come back and whether his physical recovery is really as bad as he said.
Therefore, by holding a press conference at the cusp of the storm, anyone with a discerning eye would know that the Wizards were trying to lure Wang Shuo to block the gun.
Backstage at the press conference, looking at Wang Shuo, who was wearing a black suit and preparing to appear on stage, at this moment, even the Wizards staff cast a sympathetic look on him.
Come on, hero!
You are always the best!
Before deciding to hold this press conference, Unseld asked Wang Shuo if he wanted to accompany him to attend, but Wang Shuo refused.
Unseld knew that he didn't want to drag himself into this muddy water because he had been looking at Wang Shuo, who was becoming more and more pleasing to his eyes recently.
But how did Unseld know that Wang Shuo just didn't want Unseld to interfere with his performance.
"Confirm again, Wes, as long as I can help divert Michael's fire, can I say anything?" Before going on stage, Wang Shuo asked "slyly" while looking at Unseld, who was also paying attention to him. .
Unseld nodded and said, "You really don't need me to accompany you?"
Wang Shuo shook his head and said, "The fewer people who come forward for this kind of thing, the better."
At ten o'clock in the morning, the press conference started on time.
Although the Wizards officially announced the team's head coach candidate for the new season as early as May this year, it is indeed the first time in Wang Shuo's coaching career to make an official appearance in front of the media like today.
And Wang Shuo believes that if it weren't for Michael Jordan, it would be impossible for so many reporters to come to the regular media meeting for a rookie head coach like him.
I saw that the press conference scene was already packed with people, and it was like a sea of people, and the sound of gongs and drums was loud.
In addition, regardless of the reporters present today, 99% are here for Jordan, but the moment Wang Shuo came on the stage, many people still showed surprised looks.
Nothing else.
A 27-year-old Asian coach asked you if you attract attention?
In the new season, Wang Shuo is destined to create N number of firsts before even starting.
The youngest head coach in NBA history.
The first full-time foreign head coach in NBA history.
Unfortunately, because on October 5, 2000, the Clippers had already signed Igor Kokoskov from Serbia, so Wang Shuo was not the first foreign full-time coach in NBA history.
However, in the head coaching industry, he still deserves to be the number one.
At the press conference, many reporters whose attention had been attracted by Wang Shuo felt that just because they could see Wang Shuo today, their trip was not in vain.
Damn wizard!
They obviously hid so many news selling points, but they didn’t even call us until today!
No way, this will not be the social network era in the future, where you can know the world without leaving home.
In fact, after the Wizards announced their head coach candidate for the new season in May this year, many reporters went to the university where Wang Shuo once coached for interviews.
But apart from the opinions from the team members and colleagues, this group of reporters couldn't find any news that had selling points.
These news materials will be very useful in the future when Wang Shuo becomes famous.
But right now?
"Hello, Wang, may I ask, as the youngest head coach in the NBA in the new season and the first foreign head coach in NBA history, how do you position yourself? Do you have a clear goal now?"
You see, some stupid colleagues are still surprised, but some smart colleagues are already asking questions.
Wang Shuo glanced at the reporter who asked him a question with a smile and said: "Of course I have clear and definite goals, which can be summarized in three Latin words.
Veni, Vidi, Vici (I come, I see, I conquer). "
Exploded!
Absolutely explosive!
At the press conference, Wang Shuo's answer exploded almost instantly.
Open your mouth and you will explode!
Originally, those people who were still thinking about how to get the news about Michael Jordan from Wang Shuo later, how could they care about Jordan now?
As for Wang Shuo?
After pretending to be cool without a blushing face or a beating heart, his calm and confident expression at this moment was absolutely impossible to fake.
No idea.
Just pretending to be cool under orders, that’s how confident you are.
What Wang Shuo wants today is to attract all the attention to him.
Therefore, from the very beginning, he had thought that he would not only be crazy at the press conference, but also be the most arrogant kind of crazy.
Why is it said that after Mourinho lands in the Premier League in the future, he will almost single-handedly support half of Fleet Street?
Because every word Mourinho says is big news, how can the media not love him?
Anyway, at this moment, Mourinho doesn’t know where to work as a translator. Therefore, as colleagues, what’s wrong with learning from each other’s personalities?
In the new season, the new players in the Wizards are all waiting for support. Wang Shuo knows very well that if he cannot do it in the next season, let the reporters focus their firepower on him...
With the top-level traffic that Boss Qiao brings, he can overwhelm his team members if he is not careful.
Therefore, the reason why Wang Shuo is so calm is because he is purposefully going crazy at the moment.
At the press conference, the reporters who were shocked for a long time tried to hold back their emotions and then asked Wang Shuo: "I don't mean to offend, but Mr. Head Coach, can you briefly explain your coaching?" style, and how will the Wizards conquer the NBA in the new season?"
Wang Shuo pondered for two seconds and then said: "Attack, attack, attack."
Reporters: "..."
"If possible, could you please be more specific?" the reporter who just asked the question gritted his teeth and asked.
Wang Shuo waved his hand and said: "What I said is clear enough, attack, attack, still attack."
No idea.
Even though they are well-informed in the NBA, this group of reporters is the first time they have seen a head coach with Wang Shuo's style.
Fortunately, ginger is still spicy.
I saw the experienced Donny Jones, who is 54 years old and from Los Angeles, asked: "Hello, Wang, we all know that defense winning championships is a wise saying in the NBA.
If the tactics overemphasize offense, does it mean that the Wizards' goal for the new season is still to train new players? "
It seems that this is an ordinary question.
But Wang Shuo understood that this was a question with several hidden murderous intentions.
The first is the phrase "Defense wins championships is a wise saying in the NBA." This is clearly telling Wang Shuo that although I don't know how you will play offensive basketball, your style will definitely not work in the NBA.
Then there is the second sentence. The first half of the sentence seems to be a kind reminder to Wang Shuo not to overemphasize the offense, but combined with the second half of the sentence, it is actually a refutation of Wang Shuo's previous crazy speech.
You said you came, you saw, you conquered, just you came, you saw, you conquered?
Wake up, you are the bottom team. If the Wizards play like you do, they will definitely continue to be bad in the new season.
Therefore, it seems that this question is a question, but if Wang Shuo really answers according to ordinary people's thinking, then the next day, he will definitely become a clown in Washington overnight because of his previous big words.
Master!
I didn’t expect that the “weird little country” Milician would actually harbor such a master!
but......
Who made Wang Shuo finish chasing "Yes, Prime Minister" in his spare time in his last life?
Therefore, Wang Shuo decisively used Jim Huck's big move and replied: "The Washington Wizards are a team with a long history, and its predecessor, the Washington Bullets, won the NBA championship in the 1977-1978 season.
Our entire team is full of confidence for the new season.
It is true that there will be many young people in the team in the new season, but we are confident that through our own efforts, we will create a youth storm in the upcoming new season! "
Upon hearing this, Donny Jones immediately felt that he had met his opponent.
Perhaps in the eyes of ordinary people, Wang Shuo's answer just now is just an official answer.
But Old Jones understood that Wang Shuo had obviously discovered the murderous intention that he had deliberately buried in the question when he asked the question.
After exchanging a meaningful look with Wang Shuo, Old Jones did not continue to embarrass Wang Shuo.
Because he knows that only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you be victorious in every battle.
Old Jones made up his mind. When he returns to Los Angeles tonight, he will apply to the editorial department to be transferred to Washington.
At this moment, Old Jones recognized that Wang Shuo was extraordinary, and he would definitely be able to dig out more explosive news from him in the future.
Next, after reporters asked Wang Shuo a few more questions, someone finally thought of Michael Jordan and asked him: "Wang, do you know Michael Jordan's comeback plan? Does he have any relationship with you?" Have you communicated with the team’s head coach for the new season? Is Michael’s physical recovery really as bad as he said in an interview?”
What a three-question question!
After pretending to be surprised and looking at the reporter who asked him the question, Wang Shuo said: "Michael Jordan's comeback plan? What? Is he preparing to come back? Why didn't I know?
Do you know Michael Jordan's plans for his comeback? Has he mentioned any relevant matters to you? Is his physical recovery really as bad as he told you? "
reporter:"......"
Damn it!
Am I asking the question, or are you asking the question?
At the press conference, many experienced reporters realized at this time that Wang Shuo was not the kind of rookie who was easy to fool. He must have done relevant homework before he was pulled out by the Wizards to block the gun.
Therefore, after asking Wang Shuo a few more innocuous questions, the press conference ended successfully and happily.
However, backstage at the press conference, at this moment, Unseld and the Wizards staff were as shocked as if they had just watched a horror movie.
Oh my God!
What kind of hero is he?
He is simply a devil!
False Devil: Tattoo Satan on your body.
The real devil: Satan has him tattooed on his body.
From the perspective of the Wizards staff, the Wizards will definitely become the target of public criticism tomorrow because of Wang Shuo's words today, "I come, I see, I conquer."
Fortunately, Unseld, who knew the details of Wang Shuo and Jordan's publicity plan, came to his senses first.
At this moment, Unseld is not worried about what the media reporters will say tomorrow. He is only worried about Wang Shuo.
As the saying goes, a distance can tell a horse's power, and time can tell a person's heart. The longer he spends time with Wang Shuo, the more sincerely Unseld hopes that Wang Shuo can stay in the NBA in the future.
"Are you really not going to leave a way out for yourself?" Unseld asked with a worried look on his face as he looked at Wang Shuo who had just finished the press conference.
"Wes, maybe you don't understand, this is my only chance, and I don't want to miss it." Wang Shuo replied after looking at Unseld for a few seconds.
