Chapter Fifty-Eight: Fleicher's Advice
"Shock! The champion show preseason slump because of this person! ”
"Men will be silent when they hear it, women will cry when they hear it, and Chinese Li Mojie will be sad about his NBA journey."
"The Suns were shocked by racial discrimination, and the generals collectively excluded Chinese?"
"The champion was ostracized by his teammates."
......
Overnight, the news that the Chinese-American champion Li Mojie was racially discriminated against by his white teammates and coaches came all over the world, and immediately a series of influential newspapers and tabloids in Arizona, such as "Phoenix New Era" and "Around Phoenix", followed up one after another, and a news about Li Mojie's suspected racial discrimination was in the air.
"Smack! Tell me what's going on. Robert Savor angrily slapped the newspaper in his hand on the solid wood desk and shouted. As a successful person, it was a very pleasant thing for him to get up in the morning to drink coffee, eat ** and read the newspaper in the morning, but when he got up early in the morning, what he saw was not someone else's news, but a big scandal broke out in his Suns, how could this not annoy him?
"This, this news is fake. There was no racism on the Suns. Ryan McDonagh wiped the sweat from his head and lowered his head.
"Oh? Is it? Recently, I was reading a Chinese book, and then I saw this sentence: "Nothing is necessary, not necessarily without a cause." Do you know what that means? Robert stared straight at Ryan and whispered.
Ryan only felt a gaze shoot at him like a sword, and said in a loud voice, "I don't know, I don't know." ”
"If you knew, you wouldn't have made such a mess for me." Robert suddenly increased the decibel level and shouted.
"But that's not true." Ryan waved his hands in a panic and said.
"Oh, no? Is it true that the champions I have carefully selected have not been excluded? Robert sneered.
"It's just some small contradictions between the players, and there is no big situation, and some tactical arrangements in the preseason, Mo Jie's growth is still expected by us." Ryan quickly explained.
"What do you think of this?" Robert suddenly turned the tablet in his hand, and on it was written the headline written by ESPN in bold red: Champion Xiu played 31 minutes, but only made one shot? The most shabby champion in history?
"What?" Ryan stared blankly at the tablet in his hand, his chin wide open, and he couldn't say a word for a long time.
Just 24 hours ago, in San Antonio, Texas, Li Mojie, who was preparing to face the Spurs, received a call from Fleicher.
"What racism? You're making this too big, aren't you? Li Mojie was also shocked when he received Fleicher's news.
"Is it big? That's not big at all, how much have these blacks benefited from racial discrimination over the years? Admission quotas, golden figures, benefits, pensions, and ...... to Ivy League schools And you Chinese Americans in the United States have never been as good as blacks with lower IQs than you, do you know why? Fleischer sneered on the other end of the phone.
"Why?" Li Mojie asked along with his words.
"Because you don't understand the saying that crying children have milk." Although this is not what Fleicher said, the best translation is this.
Li Mojie was silent for a moment after hearing this. Fleischer continued: 'There's something else to do for you. ’
"What? Let me and the media admit this? Li Mojie frowned and said.
"No, no, no, you don't need to have such a bad relationship with the team, I've asked Amy to follow you, and then you just listen to her, don't say it, don't admit it, don't deny it, what you have to do now is you need to control your shots." Fleischer admonished.
Li Mojie on the other side of the phone was silent for a moment before he whispered, "Okay.... Yes, I know, but I've got enough shots? It's not like you don't know, the ball has been with Dragic and Bledsoe, they don't give me the ball, and I don't have a chance to shoot when I'm on the floor with them. ”
"That's right, I'm just going to let them do this, and in this next game, I need you to only shoot once." Fleischer laughed.
"Only once?" Li Mojie was surprised.
"Yes. Anyway, you have fewer shots, and you don't record data in the preseason, what are you afraid of? If you don't strike more than once, how do others know how badly you've been ostracized? Fleischel said with a smirk.
"Ah, that's not right, isn't it!" Li Mojie then frowned and said.
"Haha, so you are just a child, children distinguish right from wrong, and adults only look at interests. Now you are in this situation, if it does not change, then you are the biggest parallel trade. Fleihill seemed to take a sip of water across from him and paused to speak.
"And did it work for you?" Li Mojie hesitated for a moment and asked.
"You know what? My youngest son used to dislike his toys and wanted me to buy him new ones, so he broke them, and although I knew it, I would still buy it for him, you know? Now you are the youngest son of the Suns, because your commercial value is the highest, and your Huaxia side is negotiating a broadcast contract with the Suns. Who is the most important team in the NBA? Coaching, management? Do you know how many James made when he was with the Cavaliers? The star is the most important thing, the audience buys tickets to see the stars, there are stars and fans buy tickets to watch, there will be attention, there will be broadcasts, and the team will make money! James used this trick to get rid of Ricky Davis, who averaged 20.6 points per game, and now your commercial value is not lost to him at all, what is it to drive away a Dragic who averaged 14.7 points per game last season? If we are ruthless, Hornacek and Ryan can be driven away by us! Fleischel asked rhetorically.
"Hmm." Li Mojie nodded.
"I'm sorry, this thing was yours. The champion doesn't have the ball, right? I'm telling you, I've been in the NBA for so long and I still don't understand the truth? The rookie period is to let you high-ranking rookies brush up on the data, if you can't even brush the data, then you are a waste, and the team management and fans look down on you. Don't tell me it's for the sake of the team's results? Can you compare to Milicic, who won the title at the age of 19? Yes, you didn't expect to put him, the youngest NBA champion is actually him, is it useful? Who cares about the sacrifices Milicic makes, who cares about the minutes of playing time Milicic has in every game? Everyone will only say that he is a waste, and will only say that James, who did not enter the playoffs in his rookie season but brushed up 20.9 points + 5.9 assists + 5.5 rebounds, is a future superstar! Fleischer said, growling excitedly on the phone.
"Well, maybe you have some truth in what you say." Li Mojie sighed and said.
"It's not that what I said makes sense, but that's the way it is, with them you don't have a lot of balls, the stats will be poor. Why do people always remember Chamberlain when they think of rankings, but forget Russell? You must know that Russell has 11 championship rings, but Chamberlain only has 2, not that Chamberlain's data is better, in terms of record and ability to lead the team, he was completely blown up by Russell, but everyone only remembers his 100 points, his various exaggerated statistics, and his ranking in the Hall of Fame is always higher than Russell. So, don't tell me you don't care about the data, the fans do, the spokespeople do, the management cares, you know? ”
"I see." Li Mojie said calmly.
"Well, that's good, many years later, everyone won't remember how strong you were back then, video highlights? Is that thing reliable? If you look at that thing, everybody's Jordan. People are looking at your data, you know? Points, assists, rebounds, championships, these are all stats, and your future Hall of Fame ranking depends on them. Fleihill said earnestly.
Li Mojie pondered for a moment, thinking of how Kobe Bryant was caught in the Eagle County scandal and was terminated by Adi, how did he break out of the sky and be liked by fans again? Brush the data, brush the score, once 50 points are not enough, twice, two times if not enough, three times, until the brush becomes a lone high warrior, a person to fight the opposite team of fearless warriors, and finally become the league's hot superstar again.
There is also the triple-double king Westbrook, although everyone is spraying him for brushing a triple-double, treating his teammates as dogs, and putting the team's victory aside, but it is undeniable that he has become a hot topic in the league after Durant's departure, and the league is the object of praise, the regular season MVP winner, and the money endorsement has come one after another. And in the future, everyone will only remember that the league's triple-double king is Westbrook!
Many fans of the Celestial Empire are very disdainful of data brushes, and when they talk about that person, ah, a data brush. But is it really a shame to brush data? Those 60 points, 70 points, and 81 points are not brushed out, before Jordan didn't win the championship, everyone's impression of him was a data brush. If you don't brush up on good data, how can the league remember you? How can it be so popular with you?
Why is Curry 2 crowns in hand, and he is the regular season MVP and the three-point king. When everyone comments, they often rank Curry behind Paul, who has no championship and no Western Conference finals, at a glance, that point guard is better than Curry, and this person is better than Curry, what will Curry do? can only shoot three-pointers, but forget that people can win the championship in 14-15 years with Thompson in 11 years, Green and Barnes in 12 years, and 73 wins in 15-16 years, but there is no Durant to join at this time!
The reason is that Curry, who has always been at the top of the league in terms of efficiency, did not brush up on points and assist kings, and his scoring ability is not as good as that Booker? If he also brushes up a few 70 points in a row, will some people say that Nash + Kidd, who has no championship, is better than him? Will he also say that Paul, who led the team and won the championship, was ranked in front of him?
"I know what to do." Li Mojie's eyes sharpened and nodded.
