NBA Tyrant

Chapter 33

After the game, Howard got up and walked to the Hornets bench and hugged Baron Davis, who made Howard feel like a worthy opponent.

"Hey, bro, you're so explosive tonight! We sent Mobley to defend you, he's the best outside defender on our team, but he still can't stop you! You blow up our perimeter by yourself!" Howard hugged the original Queen Bee and looked down at Baran Davis.

"Alas, you can't win the game, what's the use of good data. Barang Davis shook his head helplessly, "But you kid is really good, you've already scored 30+ in two games in a row, I doubt you're really just a recent high school graduate?"

"Haha!

"Next time you go to play in Orlando, you'll have to treat me to dinner!" Baran Davis saw Howard's happy and smug look, his face pretended to be angry, and he punched Howard in the chest.

"Okay, no problem, contact me before you come, I will definitely arrange it properly, and after the press conference, we will exchange contact information!" Howard readily agreed.

"Excuse me, Howard, can you take our interview now?" the ESPN reporter smiled politely and signaled that it was time for the interview.

"Alright, you can be interviewed first! We'll talk after the press conference!" Baran Davis waved away.

"Hello, Howard, congratulations on winning the game again, the team is currently on two wins in a row, and your performance tonight is still amazing, can you tell me why you can keep scoring so efficiently?"

"Thanks, well, I think it's mainly in form! I still feel like I have a lot of energy in me!" Howard showed his huge biceps muscles to the camera.

"Ahem, in this game, although you are still invincible on the inside, domineering, especially at critical moments, when the opponent is close to the score, you show your dominance, once again pull the score away, and control the situation, but this game is not as brutal as the last one, you did not injure your opponent and leave the field, are you merciless tonight?"

Oh, no, no, I never thought about hurting anyone, my scoring methods are very clean, I'm a clean player, and the reason why people who defend me get hurt is because they are not physically fit or their defensive movements are not up to standard. "

Howard won't admit that the last game against the Bucks was intentional to hurt the two interior players, and that would be investigated and punished by the league.

"Haha, okay, okay! Our next question, what do you think of the opponent in this match, Baron Davis?"

"Wow! Unbelievable! He's strong, he's got 40+ on our head, that's amazing!" Howard sighed and continued. Not only does he have a sharp and consistent offensive ability, but he also has excellent vision and knows how to connect assists with his teammates, and if it weren't for the sluggish performance of the rest of the Hornets players tonight, maybe he would have more than just seven assists, and we wouldn't have won the game so easily, and he is also very active on the defensive end, a very good outside gate.

Howard kept shaking his head in admiration, making no secret of his admiration for the queen bee.

"It seems that Howard admires Davis, so what do you think of his teammate, Francis?"

"Boss Fro, my big brother, he has a lot of good points, he has excellent physical fitness, excellent ball control, sharp penetration, mid-range shooting and three-point shooting is very threatening, strong control of the court, quick adaptability, is our absolute core commander!".

Howard also had a lot of praise for Francis, although Francis may not be that good, but anyone can say hello, isn't it!

"Okay, thank you Howard for accepting our interview, see you next time

!" "Goodbye!"

Howard hummed a ditty and happily returned to the visiting locker room, while on the other side, the Hornets locker room was full of dullness.

When the Hornets players saw their boss return, they all looked down at Baron Davis.

"I'm sorry, Boss, we didn't help you!" Wesley took the initiative to admit his mistake to Queen Bee first.

"Hey, it's just a game, you don't have to do this, let's go take a shower!" Baran Davis smiled and comforted his teammates, but in fact, only Baran Davis knew how unhappy he was.

The manager is incompetent, the team management is also brainless, and the owner has no heart to spend on building the team.

......

At the post-game press conference

, head coaches Johnny, Howard, and Francis sat down, ready to wait for questions from reporters in the audience.

"Head coach, from the beginning to the end of this game, you pressed the Hornets all over the court, and the margin has been in double digits since the second quarter, and now you have won two in a row, does this mean that the current Magic team is already a league powerhouse?"

CBS reporter asked first.

"Oh, no, I don't agree with you, our Magic team is currently a team of basically new players, we still need to spend a lot of time getting acquainted with each other, the coaching staff still needs to study more lineups, including our tactical play, we still have a lot of problems to solve, I want to say, we still face a lot of tests, far from being a strong team!".

Head coach Johnny frowned, looking distressed, as if there were really a lot of problems that had not been solved.

"Coach, I found that after these two games, Howard basically went off the court before 8 minutes in the first quarter, and then at the beginning of the second quarter, plus Turkoglou with three bench lineups and the opponent's pure bench lineup, and your benches in the second quarter, the offensive firepower is no worse than the starters, basically, the time period to open up the point difference, is this the Magic's intentional tactical arrangement? Can you tell me what is the mystery of this?"

asked a reporter from the bleachers.

"Hmm... How do you say it! It mainly depends on the current lineup in the team! Indeed, after the study of our coaching staff and according to the characteristics of the players, we finally chose this kind of matching style of play! As for the mystery you mentioned, in fact, no, it was when I was training in the team, I thought it was quite suitable! "

Coach Johnny was very strict, and he didn't say why it was arranged this way and the key role in it.

"Howard, you got a 30+15 double-double again tonight, and only in 21 minutes of playing time, what level do you think your strength has reached in the league at the moment?"

asked a reporter from Sports Illustrated.

"What level? I don't know about this, after all, I've just entered the league, I've only played two games now, and the data I have obtained doesn't prove anything at all, and after I've played with all the teams, maybe I'll have a rough assessment of my strength!"

Howard is not a big mouth, and he won't be fooled by this reporter at all.

In his heart, he secretly pulled this reporter into the blacklist, and this reporter asked this in the hope that he would get carried away and boast about himself, and then their media reports would have gimmicks to attract readers.

Hey, this reporter is very bad! However, it is not wrong to say in an ambiguous direction anyway and not give an accurate answer.

"Francis, you got nine assists tonight, and you connected the team's offense very well, while still playing well on the offensive end, which is relatively rare in your previous NBA career, you can take both points and assists at the same end, can you talk about what makes you more versatile?"

asked a TNT reporter.

"This should be attributed to my excellent teammates and the head coach, it was the head coach who arranged some tactics, we all strictly followed the tactical play, and finally my teammates threw the ball in, which allowed me to have the current statistical performance!" Francis,

a veteran player who has been playing well in the league for several years, answered questions exquisitely and gave credit to his teammates and coaches.

"Howard, is there anything you would like to say to J.R. Smith of the same year, the Hornets, who wanted to get a man-blocking dunk on your head and only to be knocked to the ground by your hat?"

asked a local reporter in New Orleans.

"Haha, I think he's quite interesting, if it weren't for my quick reaction, bounce and arm span are not bad, it might really be his background board and be blocked by him! Fortunately, it's okay, I finally defended it!"

Howard made a funny appearance, causing a burst of laughter from the scene.

"Howard, yesterday in the post-game interview, Okafor said that you just played a good game stats, the Rookie of the Year title is far from being decided so early, and he will still be one of the strong contenders, what do you think about that?"

asked an ESPN reporter.

"I agree with his statement, it is true that the season has just begun, and there is still nearly half a year to go until the end of the season, during which anything can happen, and it is difficult to say who will win the title of best rookie, but..." Howard stopped and looked at the reporters in the audience domineeringly.

"As long as I'm here, the champion can only be me, maybe he's not bad, but, I'm better!"

"Isn't tomorrow our away game against their Bobcats?

After the press conference, Howard left Baron Davis's phone number, then hurriedly gathered with the team, returned to the hotel to rest early, and had to catch a flight to Charlotte tomorrow to play the Bobcats in back-to-back games.
