On the Rockets team bus.
"Where's James? Why hasn't he finished the interview yet?" Head coach McHale asked the assistant coach next to him.
"Wait a bit, it seems someone's waiting for him," the assistant coach replied.
As the biggest star of the team, Harden being late because of interviews delaying the team bus wasn't a first.
The crew was used to it, anyway, the team's private jet would wait for them.
Just as the assistant coach said, Harden was stopped by Zeng Xingyang who had just finished his interview as he was about to leave the arena.
It wasn't because Zeng Xingyang wanted to punch Harden.
Rather, Zeng Xingyang wished to discuss scoring techniques with Harden.
"Zeng, what's up?" Harden looked at Zeng Xingyang with confusion, his first thought was that Zeng Xingyang wanted his autograph.
"James, I want to know how you draw fouls on your opponents? Really, no other intentions, I just want to know some tricks," Zeng Xingyang asked frankly.
