On November 11, the Los Angeles Lakers took on the Orlando Magic away.
It's been a grueling back-to-back journey for the Lakers. On the first day, I just finished playing a strong team, and I had to rush to the next stop to challenge another team overnight.
Especially after two consecutive defeats, the outside world has also put a lot of public pressure on the Lakers players.
In the face of such pressure, the most indifferent is Kobe.
Kobe Bryant thought that he was also a strongman who was the enemy of the world back then, and the pressure of the team's two consecutive defeats was nothing to him.
The NBA is a highly commercialized professional league, and the players' every move is under the spotlight of the media, and they are under pressure every day. Over time, I got used to it.
Even if the team loses two in a row, for many Lakers players, it is not a big event.
What's more, it is Yi Feng who is sprayed the most now, and the pressure is on his side.
Before the start of the game, Yi Feng was caught by the media when he entered the Amway Center, the home arena in Orlando.
After last night's game, Yi Feng did not attend the post-match press conference for the first time. This made many media who wanted to take the opportunity to shoot against the wind not get a chance.
And the Lakers players rushed to Orlando that night, and the media still didn't get the opportunity to interview.
Now, they finally saw Yi Feng, and naturally they would not let him go.
was forcibly stopped, and Yi Feng also had to be interviewed.
Most of the reporters who stopped him were local Orlando media, but there were also a few non-Orlando media.
"Yi, can you talk about why you lost last night?"
The reporter who asked the question was the Orlando Outpost, the most authoritative newspaper in Orlando. As soon as he came up, he got straight to the point.
Yi Feng said: "There are wins and losses in the game, and the Heat played better than us and performed better, so we lost." β
Yi Feng was extremely displeased with the rough interviews of these media, so he replied dryly without any sincerity.
At this time, a reporter from the "New York Daily News" squeezed over and hurriedly asked: "Mr. Yi Feng, now everyone thinks that you have no good luck, and your true level is really revealed, you are not a historical rookie at all!" What do you think about this? β
A reporter from New York, with a gun and a stick in his mouth.
Yi Feng took a moment to complete and asked rhetorically, "Everyone thinks so?" Who are you? Are you included? β
The New York Daily News reporter nodded.
Seeing this, Yi Feng smiled, "I don't know if you have any impressions, I never said what kind of historical rookie I am, and I never said that I am better than anyone." β
"I just won the league's Player of the Week in the first few regular season games of my career, got a triple-double and scored 57 points. It's great for you to see, so I'm a rookie at the all-time level, and the performance is completely phenomenal. But for myself, it's just a reflection of my strength, and there is no luck at all. If I had any good luck, why didn't I miss that day? β
The reporter smiled, but looked a little sinister.
"Since being the youngest player of the week, becoming the youngest triple-double winner, and being the youngest Mr. 50 points are all manifestations of your true level, can Mr. Yi Feng explain why he only scored 19 points in the last game? And repeatedly send opponents to the free throw line? I think the Lakers' loss has a lot to do with what you call 'true level'! β
"Yes, yes, yes!"
The Orlando Sentinel reporter also rushed to say: "57 points and 19 points, this is obviously not the same person who contributed data in two consecutive games, this is obviously not a level of data!" β
"So the question is, which one is the embodiment of your 'true level'?"
Yi Feng asked rhetorically: "Do you know how many people in the league now average more than 19 points per game?" Do you think it's easy to score 19 points in a game? Especially when you face Dwyane Wade, can you still easily score 19 points? β
The two reporters were stunned, and even the reporters who surrounded Yi Feng were a little stunned.
They only see the difference between 57 points and 19 points, but they ignore that in fact, 19 points is also a high score!
In the NBA, averaging 19 points per game can basically be included in the ranks of first-class scorers. In the scoring list, it is basically in the top 30.
This is basically the reserve of the league's first-line stars, and rookie players can't even think about it if they want to step in.
Aside from super-rookies like Allen Iverson and LeBron James, no one has been able to get into this field in their rookie season.
For many rookies, 19 points may be the highest in their rookie season. For Yi Feng, 19 points is a new low since he stepped into the professional league.
What's so dark about this?
Is it because he scored 19 points in one game, which does not match Yi Feng's identity?
But he's just a rookie!
Even if he is the champion show, he is only a first-year rookie.
Did everyone see him as a superstar? Otherwise, how could he be demanded by the standards of a superstar?
Or was it because he didn't stop the team's losing streak?
However, he is not the boss of the team, and the Lakers leader has someone else!
The team loses, he should not be held primarily responsible, he is just a rookie!
For a while, many reporters were at a loss.
From a professional point of view, they often have to be black for the sake of black, spray for the sake of spraying, in fact, this is just the black-hearted capitalists' desire for profit, for the sake of circulation, to make things bigger, and these journalists who work are also acting on orders.
No one is born badass.
However, in the end, the world is difficult, and people's hearts are sinister. It's not that good people have become bad, it's that they've been forced by reality to hide their kindness.
The New York Daily News reporter remained unrelenting and continued to ask, "Do you think Dwyane Wade is much better than Carmelo Anthony?" Cameron is the pride of us New Yorkers, why are you able to score 57 points against him? Facing Dwyane with only 19 points in the account? β
He is not giving up, and he is still sinisterly provoking.
Yi Feng said: "Why do you use the word 'mediocre' when you describe 19 points?" Isn't 19 points a good performance for me as a rookie? β
"Are you doing well? So why did the team still lose in the end? β
Speaking of which, it finally came to this question.
Yi Feng closed his eyes and was silent for a while, and said loudly: "Just like there are always peaks and valleys on the earth, so is a person's life. I've had peaks and lows in my performances. I'll admit that the team lost in the last game was my reason. Because I didn't perform well, I was at a low ebb. β
"For this reason, you can laugh at me and slander me as much as you like, even if you mobilize the whole world against me, and I have no complaints."
"But when you wantonly accuse me, please also remember, don't bully young people into poverty!"
"You have to know, who is the first on the scoring list now, you have to know, who is the first on the hot search list of news now."
"The low tide is temporary, and my form will eventually pick up. If you think 19 points is low, then I will tell you today that this season's scoring champion, I am going to decide! β
After Yi Feng finished speaking, he pushed aside the crowd and walked straight into the Amway Center Arena.
Only the stunned people were left.
Yi Feng's domineering declaration shocked them all. Even if Yi Feng left, they were stunned and did not stop them.
Don't bully him for being young?
Scheduled Scoring Champion????!!!
The reporter, who was still a little soft-hearted, was immediately angered by Yi Feng's domineering declaration.
Who do you think you are?
Is a rookie season like being the scoring champion?
Even Michael Jordan didn't dare to make such a wild statement in front of the media!
Are you confident that you are stronger than the god of basketball?
βShitοΌ Who do you think you are?! God? β
The New York Daily News reporter went berserk and shouted hysterically.
Ignored by Yi Feng, of course, these reporters were angry, and the original little sympathy was wiped out.
At the same time, they turned around and went back to edit the press release, such a major news, it should be punished early.
At the same time, they were also thinking, where did Yi Feng get the confidence to dare to let out such nonsense in front of them?
In the current league scoring rankings, Yi Feng's average of 32.6 points per game does rank first.
The scoring champion in recent years, the score has not reached 30 points. Because basketball has developed to this day, more and more attention is paid to teamwork and ball sharing. You can't win a game alone.
In second place on the scoring list, last season's MVP Stephen Curry is close behind with 31.2 points. Third is James Harden with only 28.8 points, a far cry from the top two.
It can be said that on the scoring list, Yi Feng and Curry are both heroes and bright.
Although Curry was the MVP last season, he didn't average a lot of points per game, ranking sixth in the league with 23.8 points. He was the first point guard MVP after Stephen Nash and also led the team to a championship.
When everyone thought that was his peak and could never surpass him again, Curry's performance this season was a surprise.
This season, he seems to have broken free from the shackles of a long time, playing a whimsical and eclectic style, showing a historic super three-point ability, averaging a lot more points per game, and even having a chance to compete for the league's most improved award.
However, it is such a star who seems to be reborn as an MVP and the defending champion team, but he can't suppress a rookie who has just emerged in the scoring list!
Could this be where his self-confidence comes from?
Also, when anyone is more than a point ahead of last season's MVP in the scoring rankings, they will be complacent, and there will be a feeling as if the world is in my hands, right?
However, the harsh reality will give you a big slap in the face and make you soberly realize that it is just an illusion!
The reporters all sneered.
