Chapter 321: Civilized view of the event, reason versus winning and losing
"But the fans' hope that the 82-game unbeaten run is just a good wish for our Lake, and you, as a Lakers player, not only thank the fans for their blessings, but also refute them, what is the reason?" Winters continued to ask.
"If the fans used more words like 'hope', 'wishes' and 'expectation', of course I would have thought it was a blessing to all of us, but the fans seem to have gone from expecting to demanding 82 wins and then taking them for granted. Even if the NBA is not a big family, fans are always equal to each other, right? Now the mainstream rhetoric of Lakers fans online has become, 'I'm the Lakers who booked all the wins this season, who are you that?' 'Isn't this a sign of blackness for us? ”
"I'm sorry, I don't quite understand what you mean?" Winters had some difficulty understanding Hougist's theory.
Hougist reached out and took the initiative to turn off the recorder, and then continued: "I have discovered a major flaw in the American education system since I was a child, and you don't know the truth of making a lot of money by silence. Every time I meet some new friends, new teammates, and new colleagues, I have to re-explain this theory to them. ”
"Make a fortune with a muffled voice? What does that mean? Winters was even more confused.
"Mike. Wallace: Have you heard of it? Hougist asked rhetorically.
Winters hesitated and asked, "Which Mike. Wallace? That news leader, the former ace host of CBS who has interviewed many heads of state? ”
"That's right! That's him! Haugess nodded.
"Of course I know him, although I am engaged in sports journalism, but as a journalist, he is a senior who is very worthy of respect and learning." Winters looked solemn and reverent.
"Wallace interviewed the leaders of my country in 2000, and they talked and laughed together, and the leaders of my country were very fond of the traditional theory of 'making a fortune out of silence'. We're on an 18-game winning streak, but the last game against the Wizards was extremely difficult, and the opponent strengthened my defense. It all happened after Lakers fans swelled online. Originally, there was no ridicule of their opponents, our players were very low-key, every game with the mentality of learning from the opponent, put themselves very low, by the way, and then tout the opponent, let them carelessly underestimate the enemy, when the time comes, we can play with the opponent and play the game with harmony, and finally we are relying on the strength of the pig to eat the tiger to win easily, this day is comfortable, but the fans gradually formed a double-edged sword, and the two edges are our own! Now the opponent sees us like a chicken blood because of them, and can always give 200% of the dedication, and the fans are flaging everywhere at the same time to bring huge pressure to our players, carrying the psychological burden of wanting to win and being afraid of losing, and losing the original self-confidence when handling the ball, which could have been avoided! Haugist almost gritted his teeth and said this, and then regained his composure again, "I can only tell you these hardships in private, I don't expect the fans to understand, because my trumpet has made these words very clear, if they could understand it, they would have understood it a long time ago, and it would not make my bitter persuasion all become a piano for the cow." To be honest, we are actually picky about the fans, and the brain is a good thing, but the good thing is that not everyone has it. If nothing else, at least I hope we Lakers fans can have brains. ”
After listening to these two heartfelt words of Haugist, Joseph's face turned white, and he thought that Haugist was not a reckless person, at least he turned off the recorder in advance, and Joseph was a little relieved. And Winters was also dumbfounded, after so many years of work, it was the first time she had heard a player think in such a forward-looking way. The idea is a little obscene, but the starting point is completely for the team, and he seems to be persuaded by his ideas.
"I'm open and honest with you, and I'm telling you what I'm really thinking, so can you tell me what to say to the fans?" Hougist asked, spreading his hands.
Winters' eyes are even a little moist, how many players have come and gone in this league, almost every player she has seen is more or less catering to the fans and currying favor with the fans, but only a small number of them will not hesitate to pay the price of offending the fans to guide them and tell them the right values, everything that can be done is a superstar with a big pattern and big feelings, it seems that the Lakers are really a successor after Kobe!
Thinking of this, Winters said excitedly: "Your words have also awakened my sense of social responsibility, we can't irresponsibly make up news for the sake of traffic, I will write an interview when I go back, tell everyone what you think, but will definitely not criticize you, but support your point of view, stand with you, and strive to help you wake up those fans who are empty-eyed and unrealistic to live in their own YY!" ”
Hoggist held Winters' hand tightly and choked up: "Thank you so much, finally someone can think rationally, I hope more and more fans can understand our difficulties and choose the right way to support us!" ”
"But then I don't seem to see that the players are under a lot of psychological pressure, right? Everyone played very well in the last game! And you and Kobe Bryant both cut gorgeous stats. At this time, Winters suddenly remembered that although the last game was a thrilling win, the players still performed well.
"Sister, don't you think I've played very well in these two games? It was I who told my teammates to ignore the public opinion of the fans, as long as they are still running tactics as actively, as long as they have the opportunity, I will send assists in time, and now it is equivalent to the pressure of the whole team is on me alone, and their performance is of course not affected much! Hogist said with a wry smile.
Winters suddenly stood up and bowed deeply to Haugist, "I think, you have redefined greatness!" ”
"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, don't say that!" Hoggist refused again and again, not because he was modest, but mainly because the sentence "XX redefined XX" reminded him of the sentence "Gongsun redefined the coin" that circulated in domestic forums, and Winters's praise sounded a bit like scolding him.
Winters left the locker room and went back to the press box to write a script, and Joseph Jiang asked Hoggist suspiciously, "Are you telling the truth?" Or are you simply using your personal charm to charm this beautiful reporter? ”
"Don't be funny, how I don't know how alive or dead, I'm going to be charming if I'm a beauty? You touch your conscience and say, "Which of my words just now didn't come from the bottom of your heart?" What's not justified? Hogist looked at Joseph with disdain.
"What you say makes sense, but you always want to reason with fans on the Internet, and how many reasonable people will debate with you! The people who can quarrel with you are unreasonable people, do you think that you are playing the piano to the cow, isn't that a matter of course? Joseph shook his head and sighed.
"I just like to see them know that they are wrong and refuse to give in, and finally get angry and cheeky and mess around!" Hoggist said stubbornly.
"Yes, if you open a trumpet, you dare to talk about the Confucianism, and you will force them to be anxious on the Internet, and you can't be reasonable, they can only hug you in a group and spray you collectively! I think you're also looking for scolding! Joseph said angrily.
Hougist didn't mind, "Anyway, it's not me who is at fault, and now that the words have been spoken, I have no complaints in my heart, they like to scold me, anyway, justice is in the hearts of the people, no matter how many criticism meetings they hold on the Internet, I will not lose a piece of meat, how to say that sentence, only after the ebb tide can you see who is swimming naked, this matter will always pass, and when everyone can calm down and reflect, it will be clear who is right and who is wrong between me and those arrogant trolls!" ”
After saying that, Hougist changed his equipment and went to warm up. The game against the Hawks played exceptionally well, and Hoggist's favorite game was those well-known defensive experts, because he didn't need to put too much effort on the defensive end, so that he could devote himself fully on the offensive end, and the firepower Hoggist was able to even compete with the Warriors, how could a mere defensive expert stop him?
Sefrosa was almost suddenly sieveed by Hoggist, teammates kept giving him to make up for the defense and wipe his ass, and Hoggist's points can always find teammates who were empty, the game was played in the third quarter, Hoggist cut a double 20 for the third consecutive game, scored 20 points and 23 assists on 7-of-11 shooting, but 3 rebounds also hit a career low, Hoggist did not play at the beginning of the fourth quarter, and the opponent once chased within 9 points, which really made Lakers fans sweat, and the difference returned to 20 points in less than 2 minutes after changing back to Hoggist. Hougist was once again out of the game, leaving the Hawks with not enough time left, and they trailed the score to 13 points at the end of the game, and the score of 100-87 was reasonable.
At this time, the fans have gradually regained their senses, and they found that when Hoggist is not on the court, the Lakers' offensive fluency and defensive three-dimensional degree will drop a notch, and if Jeremy Lin and Hougist are not present, then the Lakers' performance at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends can only be described by the word spicy eyes, although the Lakers still have Kobe Bryant's star, but without Hoggist's organization, Kobe's scoring efficiency will also drop seriously, and the shooting rate will fall from fifty percent to less than three percent. After all, Kobe Bryant is really old and has suffered major injuries in the past few years, and his physical strength and explosiveness are limited, and he can no longer easily shake off defenders or hit difficult shots against defenders as before.
So fans gradually realized that although the Lakers now have a gorgeous record, and the opening streak is constantly refreshing the NBA history, but this record is not because the Lakers are the best in the league, and the whole team can unite as one is completely relying on the spirit of Hoggist to inspire everyone, and Hoggist, as a rookie, is under the greatest pressure, and the whole team is on his shoulders alone.
At this time, everyone understood Hoggist's hardship, and for the first time, they understood that the original love was used in the wrong place, not only would not help the team, but would drag down the team's progress. After the game, Joseph took action at the right time, and also registered a trumpet, calling on Lakers fans to form a civilized viewing league to oppose any form of ridicule and provocation against other teams, and once again put forward the slogan "civilized viewing of the game and reason for winning and losing".
Basketball is a bloody sport, but the court is not a place to vent dissatisfaction in life, fans should enjoy the positive side of the game, learn from the positive spirit of the players, rather than win or lose, and win the game can come out to ridicule the losing side.
And because the cause of this civilized viewing alliance is that Hoggist is arguing with brain-dead fans on the Internet, Hoggist is now praised as a stadium artist who is both virtuous and artistic. Suddenly became the most harmonious and friendly fan sphere in the league, before the game, Lakers fans on the Internet would routinely tout a wave of opponents, Hougist exported the domestic poisoned milk culture to the United States, and Lakers fans unconsciously poured poisoned milk on the opponent, and the opponent enjoyed it very much.
Sunday's home Lakers 111-91 bloodbathed the Pistons again, as if they had lost interest in a triple-double, Hoggist only grabbed 4 rebounds, but he once again cut a double 20 in points and assists, and in the first week of December, Hoggist scored a double 20 in four consecutive games, setting a new league record, and it was logical to win the sixth consecutive weekly best.
However, fans have become numb to the fact that Hoggist continues to set new records, and they are looking forward to the Lakers' trip to San Antonio on December 11. At that time, Haugist had a deep relationship with the Spurs, and he also had a good relationship with the Spurs players, and he also trained with Leonard for a whole month in the summer.
After the victory over the Raptors and Timberwolves, the Lakers' record has come to a staggering 22-0, and because of the schedule, the Lakers have completed the sweep of the two Eastern teams, the Pistons and the Raptors. The data of Haugist in these two games has returned to the category of "mortal", and the hit rate has dropped to sixty percent, and the data of 30+11+7 and 29+15+6 are not even explosive. However, anyone with a discerning eye could tell that he was saving for Friday's game against Spurs. It seems that in the face of his old friend Hoggist, he still wants to prove his strength very much.
Just when the Lakers players and fans were on the poisoned milk Spurs before the regular season, Popovich actually launched a poisoned milk counterattack, in the pre-game interview, Popovich smiled and held Haugist to the sky, "I have known this kid since he was 15 years old, when he was already better than everyone in the Austin Spurs, do you think the rapid improvement of Kawhi projection is the credit of Chip?" No, you're completely wrong, it was Haugist who laid a solid foundation for him! I wasn't involved in the training of Kawie and Hoggist in the summer, but I am sure that Kawd was learning from Hogist! ”
Hoggist saw this interview video on the plane, and in order to save character for himself, Hoggist immediately posted a photo of being blocked by Leonard during summer training, with the caption: "Kehuai, the strongest defender in the league, I still often recall the horror of being once dominated by him!" ”
