"Blake, sorry to see you out in the Western Conference semifinals."
"At present, you have completed the entire journey of this season. Can you tell us how you feel about the whole season? Did it meet the team's expectations?"
Immediately after the game, the reporter interviewed Griffin.
Facing the camera, it was obvious that the White Warcraft looked depressed.
Under the reflection of the light, there seemed to be tears in the eye sockets.
Griffin looked up, trying not to let the tears fall.
He took a few deep breaths, calmed down a little, and then said in a low voice: "To be honest, although we successfully entered the playoffs this season and reached the second round, this is obviously not the result we want. "
"Including the regular season, our record is not very satisfactory. I think with the depth of our lineup, we should go further, instead of being swept out in the semifinals!"
The reporter continued to ask: "So in the off-season, do you have any reinforcement requirements for the team management?"
Griffin shook his head: "This is not something I should consider. The only thing I can do in the off-season is to give myself a good vacation first, and then start a new round of training."
"This round of the series, in the matchup with Dwight, made me feel my own shortcomings, I need to become stronger, so this offseason, you will see a very hard-working Blake, I will be in training Looking forward to the arrival of the new season!"
Then the reporter asked the last question: "So do you have anything to say to this Lakers team?"
Despite being swept away, Griffin still has this pattern.
He thought for a while and said, "This Lakers team is very strong. I grew up watching Kobe play. I have seen him reach the top of the Finals stage, and I have also seen him lift the O'Brien Cup!"
"I have to say, that moment is really cool! So I hope to see that scene again this season."
"Of course, I also hope that in the near future, I can also lift the O'Brien Cup like Kobe!"
After saying this, Griffin raised his arms to greet the fans, and then walked towards the locker room.
……
On the other side, the Los Angeles Lakers, who won the series, were still celebrating their victory on the court.
After more than ten minutes, they reluctantly bid farewell to the fans at the scene.
Back in the locker room, everyone simply rinsed off before attending tonight's post-match press conference.
After all, it was the night of promotion, so the sense of ceremony should be more grand.
"Mike, congratulations on sweeping the Los Angeles Clippers and winning this round of the city derby. You are the first team to reach the conference finals this season. Tell me how you feel now!"
The reporter pointed the camera at Lakers coach D'Antoni.
Mustache pretended to be calm and said: "Actually, I wasn't too excited, because all this was within our expectations. When we had a 25-game winning streak in the regular season, I knew that this season was definitely for us. Extraordinary!"
"In the first round of the playoffs, we swept the top three defensive Memphis Grizzlies in the league, which once again proved our strength!"
"So beating the Clippers is not surprising at all, but I didn't expect it to be so smooth."
D'Antoni's answer seemed unremarkable, but he could actually feel the little pride in his tone.
After all, it is not easy to achieve two consecutive sweeps to advance.
Even the defending champion Miami Heat lost, and now they are the only team that has not lost in the playoffs.
"Your next opponent will be decided between the San Antonio Spurs or the Oklahoma City Thunder."
"These two teams are the top teams in the league. One is experienced and the other is young and strong. If you were to choose, which team would you prefer to play in the Western Conference Finals?"
D'Antoni shrugged and said, "I personally don't care about the opponents in the Western Conference Finals. As you said, both the Thunder and the Spurs have good strength."
"This is a fact that we cannot change. What we can do is to make full preparations for the battle after the final opponent is determined. As for the outcome of the series, no one can predict!"
Afterwards, the reporter asked him a few more questions before shifting the camera to Kobe next to him.
"Kobe, this is the first time you have reached the Western Conference Finals after two seasons. The appearance of the team has also undergone tremendous changes. Do you have the confidence to stand on the stage of the Finals again?"
For this question, Kobe did not hesitate. He immediately replied: "I work hard for the championship every season. There is no doubt about it. This season, we have a high probability of achieving that goal!"
"To be honest, I am looking forward to wearing my first championship ring on my other hand!"
Through Kobe's words, it can be clearly felt that he is extremely eager for the sixth career championship.
Although he won the sixth championship, his historical status cannot surpass Jordan, but at least he is equal to Jordan in terms of the number of championships.
"If you win the championship this season, will you retire like Michael Jordan? After all, you have also played in the professional arena for so many years."
When will Kobe retire? This is a topic that the whole world is concerned about.
As Kobe grew older, the topic of retirement was also put on the agenda.
This is inevitable, and no one can change the time.
At that moment, even if Kobe was nostalgic for the court, there was nothing he could do.
Kobe thought for a while, and then replied with a smile: "It depends on my thoughts after winning the championship. Maybe I will be satisfied with this and choose to retire like you said, but maybe I will stay with that kid for a while!"
While talking, Kobe turned his head to look at Qin Xiao who was beside him, and brought the topic to the latter by the way.
Qin Xiao also responded with a smile: "Then what if I want you to fight for another ten years?"
Kobe was slightly taken aback, and then immediately said: "If you can lead me to win the championship every year, I think I will be very happy!"
……
The entire post-match press conference lasted nearly two hours.
After the press conference, Qin Xiao only felt a little tired, not physically, but rather empty.
Since the start of the playoffs, he has practiced and competed every day, and has no time to let himself go.
Qin Xiao is not the kind of player who is particularly self-disciplined, he can't do it like Kobe.
To put it bluntly, he is just a layman. If it weren't for good luck, he would never have appeared in the NBA.
Since I am a layman, of course I like to do things that laymen should do.
In order to reward them for sweeping the promotion, the team management gave all players two days off.
Qin Xiao can just take advantage of these two days of vacation to relax himself!
"At present, you have completed the entire journey of this season. Can you tell us how you feel about the whole season? Did it meet the team's expectations?"
