Chapter 413: Victory and Defeat
The cynicism from the media, as well as the criticism of many "experts" about "arrogance", did not make Shi Lei low-key even a little, when the plane just landed in New York, in the face of the questions of reporters who had been waiting here for a long time, Shi Lei once again unabashedly expressed his confidence in the inevitable victory of this game!
"I don't want to know what they said, but I know they're about to get into big trouble!"
When the media asked Shi Lei how Randolph vowed to end the Celtics' winning streak, Shi Lei replied. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Because when he said this, the game hadn't started yet, so before the Knicks were in big trouble, Shi Lei encountered it first!
Shi Lei's eyes are empty, and once again become the focus of many people's criticism.
"I think everywhere, it's not their mouths that separate people, but the talent and the sweat you have shed."
Ewing responded to the media's opinion on Shi Lei's remarks, but after he finished speaking, he found that he seemed to be wrong, because now in the NBA, Shi Lei is the hardest working one has almost become a consensus, so he quickly added: "Of course, whether you can turn hard work into strength will be another question!" ”
Well, once again, Ewing's mouth is inversely proportional to his game, but that's not a problem for journalists.
So in the media reports, Shi Lei was "ridiculed" by Ewing again. Of course, since it's about New York, it's impossible to live without Larry. Johnson and Charles. Oakley Thing.
These guys, who were once notorious in the NBA, seem to have changed their ways when they left the court: "I'm not big, I'm even short, I don't have the best athletic qualities, but I'm going to pounce on basketball because I love it." But some people don't think so, they use basketball as a tool to gain fame and fortune, so they obviously have better talents, but they like to prove everything with their mouths! ”
Rodman, who had not been taken care of for a long time, hurriedly inserted a stick at this time: "They can like me or hate me." But what I'm going to say is, as soon as I step into this damn field, I'm going to be better than anyone else. He's just like me in that regard, but he's more confident that he can ignore anyone, even Jordan! ”
Seeing that the wave of criticism of Shi Lei was getting more and more turbulent, Schwartz, who had already moved his place of work to Boston, finally couldn't sit still, and rushed to New York overnight, and couldn't wait to meet Shi Lei on the morning of the game.
Shi Lei is already his biggest cash cow, and Schwartz can't bear to have Shi Lei's reputation damaged too much.
"In fact you should stay away from them, as Paul did, their arrogance has made them unbearable for an international player to do so well for a long time!"
As soon as they met, Schwartz got straight to the root of the problem.
Yes, it's because Shi Lei is not an American, and he is also an Asian.
In the past, the media may have touted Shi Lei disgustingly because of the public relations of the NBA headquarters, but when Shi Lei used an average performance of 14 plus 5.4 plus 6.1 per game, as well as a defensive ability that was comparable to that of defense for a while, and allowed himself to cross the limit of what they could tolerate, their attitude has begun to change. The dominance shown by Shi Lei made them feel scared, and they couldn't tolerate that in the next few years, the NBA would really enter the "1vs23" era!
Shi Lei is very clear about all this, and he is aware enough of how difficult his future is. But...... "Why? I'm not Paul, I'm not Kevin, I'm me, and even if I don't do anything, they'll still find a way to embarrass me! Just like Michael. Jordan, he has always been committed to making his image perfect, making himself look like a cultured gentleman, but those people didn't let him go, when they couldn't find news material, they even went to Jordan's garbage heap to see if there was *** or something in it! ”
"But Shi, no one always succeeds, especially in basketball, you can't always be the winner, and when one day you fail, they will give you back everything you say with your affection. It's not them dealing with you, it's you yourself dealing with yourself! ”
"Yes, no one succeeds all the time, but that's never a reason to be afraid of failure. When we began to fear defeat, and the accusations that people would make of me after failure, I thought that I also rejected victory! Are you right? ”
The sun rose very early in winter, and through the torn curtains, it was still impossible to feel a trace of warm sunlight sprinkled on Shi Lei's confident face. makes Shi Lei's whole person look like the morning sun, so vibrant, so charming. This made Schwartz seem to see Shi Lei's radiant future, and the anger in Schwartz's heart suddenly disappeared without a trace, and he knew that he was convinced.
Is this hubris?
In Boston, Schwartz thought that Shi Lei was carried away by his achievements, but he didn't think so now, he only saw Shi Lei's confidence in himself and his dedication to the future!
For Shi Lei's questioning, Schwartz couldn't help but admit at this time: "Okay, you're right!" ”
Schwartz shrugged his shoulders a little awkwardly. Then he lost his anger, and quickly became the ace agent who could speak well, and in the next second, he found a way to alleviate this embarrassment: "I'm glad you have this kind of understanding, so except for the game I can't help you, I will do my best to do my best to make those people be fair." But Stone, again before I have bad news for you! ”
"What?"
The confident Shi Lei suddenly wrinkled his brows, and he suddenly thought of White in a suit and leather shoes.
Sure enough, what Schwartz wanted to say was really White's thing: "James was suspended by the Spurs, and Brandi (White's agent) tried to communicate, but Mr. Popovich didn't give him a chance to meet!" And James told Brandi that he wanted to go to any other team! ”
"It seems that James is not willing to wait any longer!"
"I think so."
"So is there a reason for the team that gave him a chance?"
This is what Shi Lei cares about the most, he doesn't want to see his best friend face the dilemma of having no ball to play, although he thinks that it is the wisest choice for White to stay at the Spurs for a few years!
"The Los Angeles Clippers, you should know, they just lost their big small forward this season! Brandi is doing their job! ”
