Chapter Ninety-Eight: Scolding and Support
At the post-match press conference, the atmosphere was not harmonious. As with the questions raised by those in the media, the press conference was full of sharpness and antagonism.
The reporters did everything possible to find fault and provoke Yu Yifeng, and their words were bitter and mean, which made people's teeth cold.
However, Yi Feng didn't care, and he could always laugh at it. He is well aware of the temperament of these media, and his bold statement that he wants to win this season's scoring title is tantamount to self-defeating.
Now, like a vicious dog, these media have flocked to him.
But the most violent storm can give the man the most effective tempering. Yi Feng has already put his mind in order, and the pressure of public opinion given by these media is just a stumbling block on his way forward.
After clearing these mobs, you will have a chance to face the final boss.
Not surprisingly, the next day's news was full of scolding against him.
During this period, the New York Daily News and the Orlando Sentinel were the most vicious.
New Yorkers cite scriptures and bring out a large number of historical figures and historical facts to slap Yi Feng in the face; Orlando drew an in-depth analysis of Yi Feng's performance since he landed in the NBA, focusing on the weakness of the opponent's defense in the games where he scored high scores.
In short, their purpose is to refute Yi Feng's presumptive goal of becoming the scoring champion of the season, to prove that he cannot become the scoring champion.
In addition to the unanimous criticism of the mainstream media, many basketball celebrities also came out of the dust of history and criticized Yi Feng sharply.
Patrick Ewing, one of the NBA's top 50 superstars, was the first to step up. He told the media, "In our time, a rookie is a rookie, an all-star is an all-star, and there are some things that no one is qualified to touch." ”
What he meant was that Yi Feng was just a rookie who had played less than 10 games, and he was not qualified to touch many things. For him, the scoring champion is an untouchable field.
Also one of the top 50 superstars, Julius Owen criticized more directly, "For the world-changing remarks of the little ghost, adults will only think that it is his childlike innocence and childlike words." And the big people who really have the ability to change the world will never shout at others. ”
Celtics legend Larry Bird, who is now the general manager of the Indiana Pacers, said: "I have always held the highest respect for the Lakers. Because they're the greatest opponents of my career. However, there is only one thing I dislike the most, and that is their arrogance that comes out of their bones. ”
"Fans jokingly call them the Zijin aristocracy, but everyone is created equal, who dares to be high? They seem to think that they are real nobles, and when they look at you, there is always contempt in their eyes. Now they continue that tradition, and that arrogant Chinese rookie may be their best successor. ”
Maybe these famous people are buried in the pile of old papers of history, and they want to show their presence when they seize the opportunity, and they are excited about Yi Feng.
It's as if Yi Feng is their enemy who doesn't share the sky.
Since it is a famous house, the influence is naturally not trivial. Under their leadership, the United States once again set off an upsurge of anti-Yi winds.
There are always trendsetters in every era, and there will always be some fools who do not conform to the trend of the times and are in the eyes of mortals.
In the condemnation of Yi Feng in the United States, Kobe Bryant bravely went against the current.
He publicly expressed his strong support for Yi Feng, "Not being envied by others is mediocre." ”
"I know what those old guys are really for. They were all the people who stood at the top of the times, and they enjoyed the kind of looking down on all living beings at a glance, and they were naturally unwilling to be old and uncared for. So as soon as they seize the opportunity, they will spare no effort to attack it, in order to relive the feeling of being watched by thousands of people in the past. ”
"Young people must first dare to think before they can dare to do. I don't think it's an exaggeration to set Yi the goal of scoring this season, he has the ability. ”
"Maybe as the old guys say, the NBA is a place where seniority is judged. But it's also a place of strength. The law of the jungle is such a law of survival. The weak can only be subordinated to the strong. And the reason why Yi has been controversial is because he is not strong enough. When He becomes the strongest, I believe that people will only worship Him as they worship God! ”
Kobe Bryant has always been the most caretakative of the Lakers. It would not be strange for him to stand up for Yi Feng. Strangely, however, Allen Iverson also stepped up in favor of Yi Feng.
As the two representatives of the 96 golden generation, Iverson and Kobe Bryant can be said to be competitors almost throughout their careers. However, after Iverson retired, he rarely made a "teammate" with Kobe.
"When I first came into the NBA, I used to tell people that I don't want to be Michael Jordan, I don't want to be 'Magic' Johnson, I don't want to be 'Big Bird' Bird, I don't want to be any of these great players," Iverson said on Twitter. ”
"Then people started calling me rebellious, saying I didn't know the rules, calling me a bad boy."
"But I don't care about that, because I've always been who I am, not next, I'm Aaron Iverson."
"From start to finish of my career, I could touch my chest every day and say: I've been playing the Aaron Iverson way!"
"So, Yi, the advice I want to give you is to do what you want and don't need to pay attention to what others say about you. You are who you are, and no one else can replace you or become you. Hopefully, you're on your own path! ”
Iverson's image in the NBA has always been popular with young people.
arrogant, arrogant, and unruly......
These derogatory terms can be applied to him.
Loyal, tenacious, courageous......
These compliments can also be applied to him.
His contradictory personality has become a spiritual drug, making young people like and worship him inextricably.
Now he is retired, although he has not won an NBA championship in his career. But he's still a basketball legend with a lot of influence. He stood up to support Yi Feng, and also made many people start to take off their colored glasses and look at Yi Feng again.
However, there are only a few people who can look at it rationally in this way.
It is very difficult to dissolve a series of deep-rooted factors that affect people's rational view of Yifeng, such as regional discrimination, racial discrimination, and national discrimination.
Most people, who scolded Yi Feng before, are still scolding. He didn't change his mind because there were a few people who spoke for him. This is the so-called irreversible trend. (To be continued.) )
