Chapter 110 An epoch-making player
After the game, the Wizards players looked ashen when being interviewed by reporters, showing no signs of life at all.
The first person to be interviewed was Wizards star Wall. Wall sat at the table, took the microphone, and answered the reporter's questions.
"John, what do you think of tonight's game?"
A reporter from ESPN asked the first question. Wall held the microphone and after thinking for a moment, the answer blurted out.
"It's very bad. This is a fact. This defeat was a big blow to us. It made us fully realize the gap between us and the top teams in the league, especially the opponent is a team with epoch-making players,"
After hearing this, many reporters were stunned for a moment, and then one reporter reacted and asked Wall.
"John, may I ask if the epoch-making player you are talking about refers to the Thunder's Lu?"
When Wall heard this question, he couldn't help but frowned, looked at the reporter who asked the question, and then said in confusion.
"Are you kidding me? This epoch-making player is not Lu, who else could he be? I have never seen a player like Lu since I first watched football."
"If you have experienced him personally, you will know how suffocating the pressure Lu brings to his opponents. My poor performance tonight can already be seen. Lu is really very strong."
Tonight, Wall shot 3 of 14 from the field, transforming into a Washington blacksmith with extremely poor touch.
Most of the reasons were due to Lu Yao's leading defense in the first quarter, which prevented him from hitting even one of his eight shots in the first quarter. As a result, he had no touch in subsequent games and gave the Wizards no chance to chase points.
Wall felt very guilty about his performance and felt guilty towards his teammates.
But what he admires more is Lu Yao. He was once known as the fastest player in the Eastern Conference, but in front of Lu Yao, he was completely manipulated.
"Lu is a very scary player. As long as you get to know him carefully, you will find that the more you analyze, the stronger he becomes. I believe that the future era will definitely belong to Lu, and he will become a player like Michael."
After Wall's interview ended, there was an interview with the Wizards' second-in-command, Bradley Beal.
Bill sat on a chair and played with his hands. Facing the reporter's interview, he spread his hands helplessly.
"There's nothing we can do. There's a monster on the other side. No matter how hard we try, it's just useless work."
"Lu Qiang is beyond our imagination. In this game, I deeply felt the pressure from Lu."
"The future alliance will definitely be turned upside down because of Lu's appearance. I think it's time to write one person's name in this era where heroes coexist."
"Of course, I am also very happy to see that scene. After all, I have been a mainland fan before."
The Wizards' interview continued with praises for Lu Yao and his unbelievable performance.
Overall, the Wizards feel that they did not lose unfairly. They are convinced that they lost to Lu Yao.
Wall and Bill even publicly stated that the future era will belong to Lu Yao, which shows the respect the Wizards have for Lu Yao.
After the Wizards' interview ended, the Thunder's interview came immediately.
The first player for the Thunder was Durant, who returned after a long absence. Durant shot 5 of 6 in this game. He only used 14 minutes of playing time and scored 15 points efficiently.
This is a perfect answer for a player who is returning from injury, not to mention that Durant still plays hard.
Durant was carrying his iconic schoolbag, leaning on his chair, holding a microphone in his hand, and casually answered interviews from reporters.
"KD, how does it feel to be back on the court after being injured?"
Durant smiled slightly, then picked up the microphone and answered.
"I can only say that it's good. It feels good to be able to fight with my brothers on the court. The moment I help the team, I feel that I should have completed my mission."
"At the same time, I also express my sincere gratitude to my teammates, especially Russell and Lu, who gave me important help during my injury and led the team forward."
"If it weren't for them, maybe you wouldn't see this Thunder team with 18 consecutive wins. Of course, after I come back, I will try my best to help the team and let this record continue."
After that, when faced with the questions he remembered, Durant answered the interview with a reporter with high emotional intelligence.
Finally, came the reporter’s last question for Durant.
"KD, what do you think of Lu Yao?"
After hearing this, Durant straightened up from his chair, his eyes became serious, and he said.
"I guess someone will ask me this question."
"Because a lot of people are talking about the fact that Lu and I have similar styles, and we are both tall men who are good at shooting, but I want to say that he is nothing like me."
"He can fly inside and escape from the ground, or he can seal the throat with a sword on the outside. He can also block the opponent's offense on the defensive end. His help to the team is also immeasurable."
"He is countless times better than I was during last year's MVP season."
Durant's MVP season can be regarded as one of the top three regular season performances in the 21st century. In this year, Westbrook only played a short schedule and was directly reimbursed.
Durant led the team with a single core and averaged 32 points per game. With a single core, he led the Thunder to second place in the Western Conference and led the Thunder to the Western Conference Finals.
For Durant to say that Lu Yao is countless times better than his MVP season, everyone can't help but be shocked.
What kind of charm does Lu Yao have that can impress so many superstars?
But when they asked the superstars who boasted about Lu Yao, those superstars would ask them back.
"Have you ever played basketball?"
The fatal question silenced those who questioned Lu Yao.
Because anyone who has played basketball knows that Lu Yao can not only possess historical static talent, but also possess such superb skills and solid defensive steps. This is almost impossible to happen in NBA history.
But Lu Yao did it, and he became the first person,
Even the god of basketball Michael Jordan said bluntly that Lu Yao will reach a position alongside him in the future, and is more likely to surpass his position.
Since this game, Lu Yao's myth has been widely spread. Basketball fans around the world have a common target of attention, and that is Lu Yao.
