After returning to the locker room, Chi Liang was surrounded by his teammates before he had time to wash up.

Van Exel raised his heel, hooked Chi Liang's neck, and smiled: "I just looked at Payton's face, it really looks 'good', haha!"

Well, Van Exel still remembers what he discussed with Chi Liang before the game, letting Payton know their awesomeness, but he didn't perform much in this game and was expelled from the game because of his fight with McLen.

"You made a big splash today and set a new league record. If you continue in the future, even if you surpass Michael, it will not be a dream!"

At this time, McDace patted Chi Liang's shoulder, looking encouraged.

The Michael he mentioned is naturally the God of basketball - Jordan!

The atmosphere of the Nuggets is very good, especially Mike Dais, who is directly under the core, who has a kind personality and is usually very hardworking.

As for the core of the outside line, Van Exel, he just occasionally gets crazy, which is normal most of the time.

"Antonio, stop joking. This kind of data is hard to come by. That is, I have good luck today, otherwise it would be impossible to make it. I don't guarantee whether I can copy this performance in the future!"

Chi Liang was modest, but he was quite excited inside. Well, he couldn't wait to see tomorrow's newspaper.

Like many players, Chi Liang likes to watch various reports that praise him, which is one of his few fun and is conducive to cultivating his self-confidence.

After taking a shower, D'Antoni came to him and said, "Chi Liang, remember to attend a press conference with me later. After this game, other teams will definitely pay more attention to you and study your shortcomings. You should be more careful to avoid encountering rookie walls!"

Unlike the previous two times, this time, D'Antoni called Chi Liang alone.

In D'Antoni's view, Chi Liang is simply his lucky star. In this shrinking season, the Nuggets have achieved good results of 4 wins and 2 losses. You should know that the Nuggets' record last year was at the bottom of the league and almost broke the record.

Judging from the lineup, the Nuggets did a great job in rebuilding. They first selected the biggest bead of this draft with the 23rd pick in the first round, Chi Liang, and then exchanged the "baby price" for Van Exel, and finally attracted Mike Dys to join.

With them as the core, and with qualified role players such as Billups, Stitch, Fordson, and Lafrenz, their card strength is not only not weak, but they are in the middle and upper reaches of the league.

Even if the Nuggets are not fully engaged, they already have the ability to compete for the playoffs.

"Coach, I get it!"

When Chi Liang heard the rookie wall, he felt a little shocked. As D'Antoni said, Chi Liang is now showing off and has definitely become the focus of other teams. In addition, the season is densely reduced and the schedule is very dense, so he is likely to encounter the rookie wall.

At the press conference, the home team was the first to accept media interviews according to the rules.

"Coach McMillan, how do you evaluate Chi Liang?"

The first question was a reporter from the Seattle Times, who is also the mouthpiece of the Supersonics.

"Until now, I still can't believe that he is a rookie! He is very strong and has an excellent overall perspective. In time, he may become a superstar in the future!"

While talking, McMillan was in fear of being dominated by Chi Liang, especially in the fourth quarter. The rookie's performance in the fourth quarter was too perfect, so perfect that he didn't look like a rookie, giving people the feeling of a superstar in a thrilling state.

"If you were given a chance to make a new choice at the draft, would you choose Chi Liang?"

At this time, a reporter from the New York Times asked a more sensitive question.

In fact, this has nothing to do with Supersonics. Although Supersonics had three draft picks in the 1998 draft, the highest was the No. 27 pick in the first round, and even if you re-select, it would be impossible to choose Chi Liang.

"Yes, of course! I think at this point, neither our Supersonics nor other teams will have any objection. He deserves any signing!"

McMillan did not deny that he was extremely envious of Chi Liang, who could break through, invest and organize. If he trained this well, he could be the core.

At the same time, in order to avoid the media pointing the finger at the Supersonic management and criticizing their incompetence, McMillan also pulled other teams in.

After McMillan's comment, the reporter turned to Gary Payton.

Payton was very angry, but he still suppressed his anger and said: "This is just a regular season game. It is my responsibility to lose the team. I underestimated his reaction and speed. Otherwise, Schramf would definitely be able to score a key goal, and that rookie would not be able to complete the triple-double 5×5 record!"

Payton took the responsibility.

Soon, the home team's interview was completed, and it was the visiting team's turn to accept the interview. Chi Liang naturally became the focus, with a lot of gimmicks and explosive points, and almost all the topics revolved around him.

It is difficult for the league to set a new record now. This triple-double 5×5, or the future triple-double, average triple-double per game in consecutive seasons, etc., is undoubtedly extremely difficult.

To win the triple-double 5×5 data, you not only need all-round strength, but also have to be strong enough on the defensive end, plus a certain amount of luck to achieve this achievement.

The reporter asked Chi Liang: "How does it feel to break a record?"

“It feels great, and most importantly, we won the final victory!”

"Do you want to compete for the best rookie?"

"why not!"

"How do you judge Payton?"

"Peton is a superstar, he is very strong, especially his defense is impressive, with the ability to rewrite the game, and there is no doubt that he is the first active point guard!"

Chi Liang did not belittle him, nor did he raise him. Kidd is currently on the peak of the league point guard, and he is currently unable to compare with Payton. As for Stockton, he is one of the best point guards in the league in history, but now he is 37 years old and has already fallen to the peak.

"Chi Liang, how do you evaluate McLaren's malicious foul?"

"Everyone, I believe that with your understanding of basketball, I must also know the harm of this action! If I hadn't reacted quickly enough and pulled the basket, I would have been injured or even revoked all games this season, naturally I wouldn't have set a record!"

"I just interviewed McLaren and he said you kicked him twice. Is there such a thing?" At this time, another reporter followed.

There is no doubt that this is a pit.

"You also know how chaotic it was. To stop Nick, my feet might have touched him, but I promise it was not intentional!"
Chapter completed!
