Chapter 811: Trash Talk
It's amazing that the Rockets have four days off, and Ding Hongxing has been at home with his parents and wife for four days, and it wasn't until January 5 that the Rockets host the SuperSonics. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The rest of the past few days has allowed the Rockets to recover their physical condition well, and of the three injured players, Jackson also returned first, which made the Rockets feel energetic.
Prior to this game, the SuperSonics' playmaker and former league-of-the-league defensive player Gary Murphy was the best defender in the league. Payton said that he wanted to guard against Ding Hongxing and let him know that his previous excellent performance was because he didn't meet the great "Glove" Payton.
Payton is indeed an excellent defensive player, and is also recognized as the most successful player in defending Jordan, his defense can make the opponent's shooting feel down, like wearing a pair of gloves, his nickname is from this, his masterpiece is to defend Jordan to 5-of-19 shooting in Game 4 of the '96 Finals, scoring only 22 points, and he also won the best defensive player that season, which is also the only best defensive player in NBA history to be won by a playmaking guard, his defensive skills can be seen.
He told the media that he wanted to prevent Ding Hongxing, and the reporter asked him what standard he had to prevent to prevent Ding Hongxing, and after hesitating for a while, he said that he should prevent Ding Hongxing's score from being lower than the average score and the hit rate being less than 50 percent, and it would be considered a success.
Ding Hongxing's average score per game is more than forty-two points, which means that Ding Hongxing's defense to forty points is considered a success, but the question is, how many stars can get forty points is already considered to be playing very well, but here in Ding Hongxing, it is considered to be unqualified and blocked, Payton's words seem to be full of confidence, but in fact, he has no confidence in guarding against Ding Hongxing.
The reporter asked Ding Hongxing what he thought of Payton's remarks, and Ding Hongxing said that in fact, the best way to prevent him is not to resist and let the game go into garbage time as soon as possible, if he only plays two quarters, it will be difficult for him to score 40 points.
Ding Hongxing's words made the reporter laugh, and he immediately published Ding Hongxing's words in the newspaper, which simply made Peyton vomit blood, he is known for his trash talk, but look at Ding Hongxing's level of trash talk, it's really infuriating!
The game started, Peyton didn't leave Ding Hongxing an inch, he kept talking trash in Ding Hongxing's ear, what you can't throw this ball, I can steal you at any time if you dribble like this, your dribbling posture is too ugly or something, in short, the essence of trash talk is to keep belittling him in the opponent's ear, making him upset, and finally playing badly, or making the opponent make the wrong choice, such as this ball should not be thrown, but I listened to his trash talk, saying that he couldn't shoot, he just wanted to throw, to achieve this effect, His trash talk succeeded.
Of course, for trash talk to be successful, the person who talks trash has the strength, and after saying it, he can do it, and the lethality is greater, if a nobody says to Jordan that you can't score this ball, will Jordan take care of him?
In this game, Ding Hongxing tried his trash talk skills with Peyton with great interest, Peyton said that his dribbling posture was not good-looking, so he said to Peyton, this ball I want to rush you, and it is from the direction of your right hand, and the next second, he relied on his super explosive power to break through Peyton in one step, and then came to a split.
Then he said to Payton, I want to throw this ball in front of you, sure enough, he pulled three points, his height, bounce, and arm span are not comparable to Payton, Payton can only raise his hand as much as possible, and then look back, and see that the ball is hollow into the net.
Peyton was desperate to find that not only could he not prevent Ding Hongxing, but even his top trash talk level in the NBA was so rubbish in front of Ding Hongxing.
Talking trash is NB, saying what you do is NB, and saying that if you can't do it, it's SB.
Payton successfully stimulated Ding Hongxing's fighting spirit, at the end of the half, the Rockets had a 63-37 lead over the SuperSonics by 26 points, the third quarter of the game played for three minutes, the SuperSonics did not score a point, the Rockets played a wave of 13-0 attack waves, and the score gap came to 39 points.
At this time, the head coach of the SuperSonics team asked for a timeout, and both sides replaced the main players, and Ding Hongxing said when he walked in front of Payton: "Hey, Gary, you successfully defended me, and I only scored thirty-nine points!" ”
Peyton almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood, he regretted why he wanted to provoke Ding Hongxing, this guy's revenge psychology is too strong!
The TV camera faithfully recorded the picture of Ding Hongxing and Payton talking trash talk to each other, and even what they said was recorded.
Some fans believe that Ding Hongxing's actions are disrespectful to his predecessors, after all, Payton is eight years older than him and entered the NBA nine years earlier than him, and he should not be so ruthless.
However, more fans support Ding Hongxing, they say that Peyton himself provoked Ding Hongxing first, and Peyton once exchanged trash talk with his predecessors, including Jordan, why did no one question him? They think Ding Hongxing's behavior is too cool, the most important thing is that he can do it when he says it, it's just a god, they say, if NBA players talk trash at the same level as Ding Hongxing, then the NBA will be much more interesting.
In the end, it was Payton himself who came out to clarify that Ding Hongxing did not disrespect himself, he said that trash talk is also a part of basketball, and it is a unique culture in the NBA, in fact, Ding Hongxing can be called a gentleman, he plays very cleanly, no matter in offense or defense, he will not use any small moves in offense or defense, he is dignified and uses his physical fitness or skills to beat you. Payton also said that he is looking forward to trash talk with Ding Hongxing next time.
As soon as Peyton's remarks came out, the controversy about this trash talk suddenly subsided, which also made Ding Hongxing have a better impression of Peyton, he is really a man.
In fact, Ding Hongxing and Peyton's trash talk did not mean to disrespect Peyton, he knew that trash talk is a unique culture in the NBA, and after hearing Peyton's trash talk that day, he thought it was more interesting, so he said a few words to Peyton, but he didn't expect it to cause such a big response.
However, with Ding Hongxing's character, he also disdains to explain this matter to anyone.
