Chapter 29
At the post-match press conference, head coach Byron Scott attended with Wang Mian, Kobe, and Larry Nance Jr.
"Wang Mian scored 55 points, 29 rebounded and 9 blocked shots today. Did you think of that before the game?”
"Did Wang Mian not play in the preseason on purpose? To surprise all the fans in the regular season?”
"Kobe, what do you think of this young man, Wang Mian?”
As soon as they sat down, the reporters at the scene could not wait to start asking questions.
Byron Scott chuckled and did not care about the chaos at the scene. He knew that the reporters were as excited as he was.
"I've been in the NBA for almost 20 years, and I've never seen a better rookie than him.”
"Wang Mian will set off a basketball tsunami in the league!”
Kobe was the first to speak, praising Wang Mian.
Kobe was not someone who would casually praise others.
Obviously, Kobe had already regarded Wang Mian as a top star in the NBA!
"It's my honor to be able to learn how to play by Boss Wang Mian's side. He let me taste the taste of victory.”
As Wang Mian's underling, Larianz Jr. naturally bragged without any restraint.
"I don't think it's just young players. Wang Mian is the best center in the NBA right now.”
Of course, Little Nance's words might not be considered bragging.
In his eyes, Wang Mian was completely worthy of the title of the current number one center in the NBA!
In this era where every team started to play small ball, there were not many centers who could compare to Wang Mian!
"I'm very happy that Wang Mian is a member of our team. Otherwise, I'm afraid we would have lost this game.”
"But I'm a little disappointed today. The number of blocks he blocked was a little off.”
Byron Scott directly attributed the team's victory to Wang Mian and started a small joke.
"Otherwise, he will have a triple double in his debut!”
Scott's words caused the crowd and the reporters below the stage to burst into laughter.
Wang Mian had gotten nine blocked shots today, which was definitely not too little. In the NBA, the number of people who could get nine blocked shots in a single game could be counted on one hand.
He didn't expect Coach Scott, who had been so serious just a moment ago, to make such a joke.
Hearing Coach Scott's words, Wang Mian also smiled and said,"
"Coach Scott is right. I will definitely pay attention in the future games and try to get more blocked shots.”
The crowd laughed again. Wang Mian had already gotten nine blocked shots in this game.
More blocked shots?
Could it be 10?
Everyone thought that Wang Mian was just joking with the coach.
After all, blocked shots were different from rebounding and scoring. Most of the time, it was not something you could get just because you wanted to.
Not only did he have to have a very strong jumping ability, but the opponent's attack choice was also very high.
However, Wang Mian himself was very serious and did not doubt that he could complete it.
10 blocked shots was not too difficult for him.
Given a few matches, he would definitely block a shot and get a double.
"Wang, his debut broke Wilt Chamberlain's long-forgotten scoring and rebounding record. What do you think?”
"Have you completely adapted to the NBA-level game? Before the game, many people did not think highly of you. They thought that you could only play in the summer league.”
The reporters at the scene returned the question to Wang Mian and asked directly.
At this moment, everyone in the interview room quieted down, wanting to hear how Wang Mian would answer.
Many young people who were interviewed for the first time could easily say the wrong thing in an interview. Kobe was also looking at Wang Mian, ready to help him out at any time.
However, Wang Mian was calm. He glanced at the reporters and replied with a smile.
"I'm very happy to be able to break Chamberlain's record. I heard that he has many more records.”
"The NBA and the summer league are both competitions. I don't think there's any difference.”
"I even think that the NBA game has become easier.”
Wang Mian's words amused his teammates and coaches who were ready to help him out.
What did he mean by saying that he had many records?
You mean, you're going to break Chamberlain's other records next?!
Although it wasn't impossible, it was too pretentious to say it out loud!!
Moreover, the NBA was much easier?
Wasn't this hinting that the Magic were noobs? The Magic were only at the level of a summer league team?!
After the interview, the major sports teams also started to take action. Wang Mian's performance today also made the headlines.
" 55 29 8, historic rookie attack! He had broken Wilt Chamberlain's 60-year-old record!”
ESPM Sports: " Nine blocked shots is not enough! Wang Mian boasted that he had the ability to block shots and get a double!”
Sports Illustrated: " The Wang Mian Formula was born. The NBA and the Summer League are both competitions. There's no difference between them!”
"Arrogant or confident? NBA games are too easy!”
The major media outlets 'reports on Wang Mian instantly exploded on the US Internet.
Everyone realized that a phenomenal player had landed in America!
At the same time, all the major sports forums and Weibo in China had exploded!
Wang Mian's debut performance in the NBA made all the Chinese fans boil.
The highlights of the 55 29 8 debut instantly became the number one trending topic on Weibo!
"55 29 8, what kind of data is this? His heart ached for Vucevi? to become the background.”
"Isn't this blocking and dunking too domineering? The opposing center forward is completely suppressed."
"Big Yao hasn't played this kind of data in his NBA career, right? Wang Mian is too terrifying."
"You're telling me this is a rookie? It's simply ridiculous!"
In China's Lion Pounce Sports, posts about Wang Mian kept flooding the screen, and the popularity overshadowed all the other NBA stars.
Lion Pounce's server also crashed for another hour because of the large number of posts about Wang Mian.
"I thought he was a ferocious beast, but he turned out to be the Act Tough King!!”
"The CBA and NBA are both competitions. There's no difference between them!”
"The school team and the NBA are both competitions. There's no difference between them!”
"Community basketball and NBA are both competitions. There's no difference between them!”
“…………”
The netizens also made up all kinds of jokes based on Wang Mian's formula created during the interview.
The boss of Lion Pounce was overjoyed as he looked at the skyrocketing traffic on the backstage.
At the same time, he also realized that because of Wang Mian's appearance, there would be another wave of basketball craze in the country. At that time, the number of users would explode.
Therefore, he gritted his teeth and decided to immediately arrange for the server to be upgraded!
