Chapter 722: The Two Kings Meeting After the Game
"Kraft, this is your first time participating in the Christmas fight, so tell me, how are you feeling now?" Greg Sager, who was dressed in a fancy suit, once again stopped Ruan Erniu for an interview with him as soon as possible after the game. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Although the Christmas game is just part of the regular season in the sense of it, it is really different from the regular season, and in terms of the intensity of the game, it even reaches the level of the playoffs.
If I had to ask how I feel, I just want to say that winning is always a joy. ”
"Evaluate your opponent, how do you think James and the Cavaliers are doing tonight?" asked Sag again.
'As I said before the game, you can never take a team with James lightly, he didn't show his best tonight, but he still put us under a lot of pressure on both ends of the floor.
It wasn't until the middle of the final quarter that the game was decided, and we did a good job of seizing a couple of opportunities to get the score. Ruan Erniu replied while wiping his sweat.
At this moment, the bastard of the lunar eclipse suddenly plugged in from behind, and after making an arrogant expression in front of the camera, he immediately fled and left Erniu's surroundings, fortunately, this spoof episode did not affect Ruan Erniu's interview.
Sag smiled and asked, "You've got a staggering 27 starts this season, will that push you to go even higher?"
Ruan Erniu asked rhetorically, "What exactly do you mean?"
"Breaking the record of 73 wins in a season or the longest winning streak in the league. ”
Ruan Erniu rolled his eyes and made a final note for this interview: "Greg, go and sober up, you must be drunk!"
In the post-game press conference, Mike Brown briefly summed up the game as the Cavaliers head coach.
Black Bread didn't get too much criticism, anyway, in the eyes of most people, he was a puppet of LeBron James.
If there were no Hawks, with the Cavaliers' record last year, Black Bread would likely get the award of Best Coach, but with the Hawks with 73 wins, Black Bread's presence suddenly dropped a lot.
The competition at the top is always brutal, and only a few people are able to stand at the top of the pyramid and look down on all beings.
Black Bread made a final statement with a slightly sour taste: "The Hawks have a stable team and player configuration, you can't believe that Ruan Erniu, who is the MVP, is still a third-year student receiving a rookie salary."
I mean, shouldn't the league introduce a policy to change this unequal competition, if another super-rookie wins the MVP in the future, then he should directly receive the salary cap in his second season, which is more reasonable. ”
Black Bread is right, it's not so much that the teams in the league have been fighting the super-strong Atlanta Hawks for three seasons, but that the teams in the league are battling the Hawks' super high salary value.
When the all-time Kraft Nguyen is still receiving a low rookie salary, this is the worst situation for other teams.
The first person on active duty is still receiving a rookie salary, so in the league, except for those base-salary players, one of the others is counted as one, and all of them have become representatives of high salaries and low abilities.
What's more, the Hawks have a big killer like Kraft Nguyen, and they can also have a lot of salary space to strengthen it, which is the real fatal blow to the rest of the league.
It doesn't matter if the Celestial Empire is strong, if he gets a super super cap salary, it will naturally reduce the salary space of the Hawks in other positions, causing the Atlantans to lack combat power in other positions, so as to achieve the possibility of weakening the Hawks.
So, Mike Brown's words, in a sense, represent the voice of a large part of the league.
If the league can force the Hawks to give the Hawks a salary increase and dismantle the Hawks' existing horror roster, then they may be able to compete with the Hawks.
Otherwise, they would have to pray to God to let the Eagles fall through injury.
Woodson appeared at a press conference after Brown as the head coach of the Hawks.
Over the past two years, as a winner in life, Egghead has become more and more confident, and when people are proud, they even walk in the wind, if they go faster, they can probably fly directly into the sky.
Unbelief?
Think about Lin Zicong in "Shaolin Football", there is such a thing as light work, which has nothing to do with his figure.
In addition to tonight's game itself, Woodson was also asked if he would lead the team to the next level to break the 73-win season.
"This season, we're just thinking about defending the championship and building a dynasty that belongs to the Eagles," Woodson laughed.
As for the rest, it's too early for now.
I haven't personally discussed this with the players, but personally, those records don't make a positive difference to the team compared to the actual championship. ”
……
At the same time as the press conference was held, the two protagonists of the Christmas War had already finished taking a shower and quietly left the Philips Center arena without anyone noticing.
"Old Gu, go to the lobster restaurant!"
Er Niu sat on his own knight XV, and drove to the restaurant he had booked by his personal bodyguard Gu Shengjian in the dark night.
Before Erniu could take a seat in the dining room, James also arrived shortly after.
ERNIU TOOK THE INITIATIVE TO HUG JAMES: "WELCOME! KING-JAMES!"
James patted Erniu's chest with a smile and said, "Come on, MVP, you are the current real power in the league, and I, the king, am just in name." ”
Ruan Erniu said: "Let's serve the food first! Let's talk slowly!"
……
James is a bit of a pretend, but his personality is not bad.
More importantly, Erniu has always been very clear that superstars at the level of himself and James are not simply antagonistic competition in the current NBA.
As a business alliance and competitive stage, it always needs a group of people to perform in front of the stage, and the top ten, or even the top five, supergiants are naturally well-deserved protagonists.
From the perspective of the nature of work, although there is a lot of competition between them, it does not mean that the two parties cannot have a more stable personal relationship.
Like Ruan Erniu and James, they still share the same agent, even if some media insist that the two of them hate each other to the point of incompatibility, people with a little sense will understand that this is just another hype.
The ethos of the alliance has long since changed!
Even Isaiah Thomas and Michael Jordan have to put on a cold face in public, not to mention these new-age players who only entered the league after the 21st century and took enhancing their commercial value as their first principle.
After three rounds of wine, the lobster feast was also eaten.
Ruan Erniu took the initiative to bring up the topic and said: "D. Wade and Chris (Bosh) have both communicated with me, but you haven't officially talked to me yet, buddy, let's talk about it openly and honestly, you know, in the general direction, we have always been on one side." ”
James shook his head and said, "Bosh is not my contact, D. Wade is his contact."
Kraft, to be honest, I expected you to come to me, in fact, even if you don't come to me, I'll definitely meet you in two days when the Hawks go to Cleveland. ”
Ruan Erniu said with a smile: "Bosh is from D. Wade's side? hehe, you guys are making rapid progress, it seems that this summer is destined to be unpeaceful!"
James replied, "Didn't you damn the Celestial Empire?"
