Chapter 304: The Throne
After the game, Zhang Mao did not see the streamers and dazzling lights, let alone the cheers of the fans, because this is an away game, and this is not his territory.
Lakers fans will be celebrating them in Los Angeles, and when the playoffs are on the road, the Lakers' home stadium will also be open to fans, and ticket prices will return to the price of the regular season.
But at this moment, more Lakers fans flocked to the arena to high-five the fans who came out of the stadium in celebration, and as for the custom championship T-shirts in the store, the entire Great Western Forum arena was like playing a home game tonight.
At the moment, the real home court, the "Union Arena" is like an away game, the fans left early, and the Bulls players will be in no mood to watch the Lakers players celebrate on their own turf, after they failed to defend the title, especially after being swept away, the whole team fell into sadness and anger, Rodman left without even shaking hands with the Lakers players.
However, there is one link here that is similar to the home field, that is, there are countless reporters who have long squatted on the sidelines, they are like cheetahs staring at their prey, and when the final whistle sounds, everyone rushes to the field and rushes to Zhang Mao.
"Don't throw all the credit to me." When Zhang Zhu said this, it was like a local tyrant with a pile of banknotes around him who was complaining about a lot of money and kept telling the damn little money to get out, and he was full of righteous words in the camera, and said to reporters: "The championship is not my credit alone, an inconspicuous little character in the NBA has an amazing resume and inspirational story behind it, not that they have no strength, but they don't have the opportunity to exercise." ”
This is a hypocrisy, especially when a reporter asks him about the reasons for his success, and his words are clearly full of contradictions.
"Emotions are very important, you can also understand the mentality, when your emotions are stable, you will do things smoothly, can pass five levels, BA old fans will find that the difference between star players and ordinary players is that the former can grasp the emotional scale well, steadily improve the emotional scale, and feel the unity of nature and man, so that can often affect the situation of the battle."
Zhang Zhu's forced pretending is not very good, his description is too abstract, simply put, it is a little too pretended.
So, a local reporter immediately choked him: "Didn't physical talent, rich family background, and handsome appearance help you?" ”
This question smelled of gunpowder, Zhang Wei was very unhappy, but he finally pretended to be a good comparison that could score 80 points, only to see him say in a condescending tone: "You are wrong, a person who grows tall cannot be his capital to show off, because not everyone has to play basketball like George Muresan." In the NBA, a person who is rich is not omnipotent, because not everything can be solved with money; As for how handsome I look, is it any different from other people? Time flies, prosperity passes, and the so-called 'handsome' has long become a burden (go away). Even if you are rich and handsome, you have to learn, even if you are short and poor, you can work hard, this is the fairest arrangement of God for everyone's fate......"
Zhang felt that this was better than a turn, but he usually only answered three questions after the game, and now there is a last question, which was asked by a Chicago reporter.
"Mr. Gao Fushuai, you have beaten the Bulls, and in a sweeping manner, and now you think you have surpassed Jordan?"
The journalist was obviously not convinced, and was clearly ready to give him a set.
Zhang Zhu is not on the set, after winning the game, he has two forms of pretending, one is more invisible, and the other is more deadly, and at this moment he feels that "invisible" is better, who makes him too young, it is not suitable to be too lethal at this time, or invisible, so it is more pretending.
"The first time I came to Chicago, I was even a little dizzy when I was standing under the sun that was hot enough to bake you. Of course, it wasn't a physical problem, but there were three buildings next to each other on the street behind me, one taller than the other. The tallest one is Michael Jordan, who dunks like a storm. That picture shook the ground. It faces the Union Arena and tells who is the owner of the city and the entire NBA. ”
Zhang Fu's ambiguous answer was enough to deal with the Chicago reporter invisibly.
Okay, all three questions have been answered, and the next questions will be on to the post-match press conference.
The staff and security personnel received Zhang Mao's signal and immediately came up to separate the reporters. There's also a championship ceremony going on here, and the baby koala and the rest of the Lakers players have to go back to the locker room and change into their championship T-shirts for the award ceremony.
The Lakers players knew that they had to wait, and at the moment the fans in the arena were gone, and the staff in the arena were perfunctory on the podium.
Zhang Wei even doubted that they would deliberately build the podium into a tofu scum project to trap him?
However, everyone knows that Zhang Mao will be here to receive his Finals MVP trophy in a moment, and he will be the youngest FMVP in NBA history.
There is no suspense for a long time, Zhang Fu's performance in the finals is phenomenal, and he will become the first Chinese finals MVP in history!
Chinese fans are excited at the moment, but also a little inexplicably emotional. They are happy to see their compatriots achieve such great success in a foreign country, but they are both proud and a little disappointed, because Zhang Zhu did not grow up in China, and his birth point is a little flawed!
Zhang Yu saw the CCTV film crew at the door of the locker room, so he stopped and chatted for a while.
At this time, CCTV must ask him what advice he has for Chinese basketball, so there is no need to think about this link, otherwise what else can he ask?
Zhang replied: "Look at the history of the NBA, most of the great stars are black, Chamberlain, Abdul-Jabbar, Magic, Jordan...... When it comes to the top stars in the league, most of them are black. And the Chinese in basketball, in terms of physical fitness, can not be compared with blacks. But our strengths are coordination and flexibility, and our fortitude is far superior to theirs. Therefore, we should not blindly fight with our bodies, but learn to play with our skills and brains, and hone our skills with our hearts. This requires us to select players who are technically gifted and willing to work hard. What's more, we have to pick those players with high IQ, the brain is very important, and you can't just look at the height. ”
Of course, there is truth in these words, but the koala baby doesn't know that the conclusion of being poor and rich is common in sports, so as long as the domestic economy can't get up, the people can't be fed and supported, and they can't be idle for a day, and those who are really talented will not make choices in sports, let alone basketball or football.
Because, those who have a strong personality and a high IQ will have many better ways out than sports, who is stupid to choose basketball and football with a high elimination rate and danger so high that they have no friends?
Therefore, the problem of the system is not the main problem, whether the people have money in their pockets or not, this is the real problem.
Let's be realistic, your parents have enough savings in their pockets to make you choose basketball and soccer like fools, because even if you don't practice or can't even keep the CBA water cooler in the future, you don't have to worry.
Then someone must have asked, why is the sports of small ball tired, and indoor sports developing so well in China?
This is very simple, because indoor sports do not need too many venues, and at the same time, the danger is much lower than that of outdoor confrontation sports, and you do not need to have a physical talent that is unique in all thousands, you only need to be technically talented, and have a hard and perseverance heart. And the most important thing is that the time invested in these sports is not long, usually a year and a half can see if you are this piece of material, will give you time to retreat......
These objective factors make it impossible for the country to give priority to table tennis, badminton, and weightlifting when it is unable to cover everything.
But if you look at basketball and football, these kinds of sports not only require you to have super athletic talent, but also to have an excellent basketball IQ and a hard-working character. The most important thing is that you have to start training in your teens, and you have to practice for three or five years before you can start to see results. If you want to reach the realm of Xiaocheng, it will take at least ten or eight years. But that's not all, at this time, you are just a rookie who has just entered the rivers and lakes, and you still don't know if you can play in the future without the test of two or three years of professional competition.
I went to Nima to make a watch, since I have an IQ and a resolute character, what do I choose not to succeed, why do I have to choose basketball and football, which are stupid if they don't succeed? And the success rate is still low?
The most helpless thing is that the teenage years is the most critical time to learn, in case I go to practice basketball and football for four or five years, only to find that my talent can only be in the district and county, and after going to the city and province, it will be unnoticed, and I am afraid that I will even struggle to play a CBA in the future, then my life will not be ruined?
Therefore, fans should not complain about the country's system problems all the time, even if there is really a good seedling there, the school and teachers will not advise him to practice basketball and football in the first place, because these things cannot help China's rise, and no irresponsible parent will let a smart child choose sports, which is the way out for those children with poor academic performance.
But don't blame the school and parents, people are really for your own good, who let these two sports once eliminated, or ruined by serious injuries on the way, there are too few ways out in the future.
So, if it's not a wealthy family, or a black American, who has no other way out, who in China would unswervingly choose these high-risk sports?
This phenomenon can only wait for the number of rich people in the country to become more and more, and then there will be some guys like Zhang Zhu who don't worry about eating and drinking to play basketball and football, anyway, even if it is not successful, my parents will have money for me to squander.
Zhang Wei naturally does not think so much for others, and now he has used an example to prove that yellow people are not unable to succeed in basketball, although he can only prove half of it, but as long as China next produces one or two players who can reach the All-Star level in the NBA, then no one will say that Chinese cannot play basketball.
After the Lakers returned to the locker room, they could finally vent their anger for a season.
Zhang Zheng was delayed at the door for a while just now, but as soon as he entered the locker room, he was sprayed with a ribbon by Kidd with a large firecracker-like thing, and then Xiao Zhengtai took out champagne again, and finally let out a bad breath at Zhang Qi.
The other players of the Lakers also have revenge, and many of them are scolding in their hearts: "I forced you to finish loading, if it weren't for a championship compensation, Lao Tzu would have smashed you in the face with this bottle now." ”
Well, this kind of thing can be said in my heart, after tonight, these guys will be bullied by koala babies for another year, maybe they will enjoy it......
The podium in the "United Center Arena" is still being built, and it is no wonder that they can't build the New Bay Bridge at this construction speed.
At this moment, commentators from all over the world are comparing Zhang Yu and Jordan's speed of winning the championship.
Before Zhang Mao won the championship this season, the only thing that was questioned was whether he could win the championship in seven years, or even in five years.
Yes, it took Jordan seven years to win the championship, but considering that black and white dominated the league in that era, coupled with the hindrance of the bad boy army, it was too difficult for any team to win the championship.
Therefore, the seven-year standard is too difficult for Zhang Fu now, and no one thinks that it is about the same as shortening it to five years.
This means that if Zhang Fu wins the championship in the fifth year, he is not much better than Jordan in the seventh year, unless he can win the championship in three years, which means that he is better than Jordan.
Now it's okay, Zhang Zhu didn't even need it for three years, and directly killed the peak bull recognized by the outside world in the second year, and now no one has any excuse to look down on him, so he can only pinch his nose and admit that he is stronger than Jordan.
Don Nelson came up with a more nuanced comparison, everyone knows that Jordan had a career first championship ring, and he waited seven years to get it. In those seven years, Jordan has been the scoring champion for four consecutive seasons, regular season MVP, All-Star MVP, First Team, All-Defensive Team, etc., but people still doubt his ability to trade these honors for championship trophies.
If it is said that it is a bit difficult to trace the information back to the era of Big O, but the information of the 80s is easy to check, and many reporters on the scene, including fans in front of TV, have personally experienced that era, so they all know that the media's criticism of Jordan at that time is basically the same: Jordan is not as good as black and white, his scoring cannot make the Bulls better, he is a brush.
It's very similar to what happened to someone later before he won the championship, everyone tried to attack him with the black dot that he couldn't win the championship, who made you really not win the championship.
In the first 7 seasons of Jordan's career, it took him 4 years to reach the Eastern Conference Finals, and the ending was sent to fishing by the Pistons 4.2, but fortunately he was not swept + molested, which can prove that he is indeed stronger, although he entered the Finals a little slower.
Jordan in 1990 reached the Eastern Conference Finals for the second consecutive season, only to be eliminated 4-3 by the Pistons, which is a bit of a stretch because he fell in the same place. It is worth mentioning that this year was also Phil Jackson's first season in charge of the Bulls.
Next, there was the Bulls dynasty, and people changed their tunes at that time, praising the Zen master for teaching Jordan how to integrate individual offense into the team in the previous season, and Jordan also officially turned into a butterfly in that year......
But if you really find out the report materials of the year before the Bulls won the championship, you can find an embarrassing fact, because people that year did not report on him after the Bulls created a dynasty, but they were all cynical and predicted that Jordan would not win the championship in his lifetime.
Now people can take this face out again, ironically before Jordan won the championship for the first time, it took seven years to get past the aging black and white duo and the Pistons bad boys, and go fishing in the playoffs early for six consecutive seasons, including three playoff first-rounders, one Eastern Conference semifinals, and two division finals.
It took seven seasons for him to beat the old guys and win his first championship, and that's what the media and most of the fans are looking at right now.
Zhang Yu actually remembers this history, Jordan was completely crowned king after three consecutive championships, and no one questioned him after that, all the slanderous voices were shut up, the original black spots all became bright spots, and he became a saint all of a sudden.
Ironically, Zhang won the championship trophy in his second season, and unlike Jordan, he defeated the mighty Bulls to win the championship in his first Finals, while Jordan learned how to knock out his opponent in the Finals after seven years of failure.
In this way, Jordan went from a saint to a leftover man in an instant, and all the bright spots turned into black spots again, which is the real irony.
These media, I guess still remember how they criticized him back then, and now those sarcastic remarks can be taken out and written again, this is the diametrically opposite treatment of winners and losers.
After Zhang Zhu, a successful person, reappeared after changing clothes and teammates, he didn't know that Jordan had been hacked by commentators from all over the world on TV at the moment, and more cruel reports than these had already been drafted by reporters, and Jordan would become a big joke all over the world tomorrow, because he was ousted from the throne by a 20-year-old hairy boy.
So it is foreseeable that in the next period of time, Jordan will become the object of ridicule by the world's **, and countless people will cheer for his loss!
But when they wake up, these people will live the same life as yesterday, and the troubles they encounter in life will be the same as today. They can spend days, months, or even longer laughing at the losses of the Bulls and Jordan. But after that, they are still ordinary people.
So where is Jordan now? Could he have been knocked out by such a huge blow?
Of course not, the man who was destined to be ridiculed for a year, had this to say after the game: "In my career, I have missed more than 8,000 shots, lost more than 200 games, and because of the trust my teammates put in me, I went to the winning goal 22 times and missed them all. Failure has always been one after another in my life, but that's why I've been successful...... I've never been afraid of failure, but I can't accept not trying. ”
