Chapter 306: Why Don't You Mock Me?
"It's not about lying down to win, you have to know that when a master stands by your side, the pressure will directly crush you. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info" Wu Huang said, and actually found that a reporter was laughing, and immediately his face collapsed: "Don't laugh, I'm not joking, now I understand why Bird can easily win three consecutive championships, not because he is lucky, but because other players are about to suffocate just standing next to him, so he only needs to score a few random goals to win the championship." Although Wu Huang's words are flattering Larry Bird, but what he actually means, no fool will not understand, this kind of bragging about himself without shying away at all, few people in the entire NBA history are embarrassed to do it.
Wu Huang's words seemed to be a little inflated, but he was actually very calm in his heart, the championship of the three-point contest did not make him very excited, and this was no longer an extremely heavy trophy for him.
The slam dunk contest held later, Wu Huang was too lazy to watch, and he didn't have his teammates to participate anyway, and he didn't need to go to the scene to grab the camera, he was not interested in doing this kind of thing now.
In his interview, reporters hope that he can predict the winner of the slam dunk contest.
Wu Huang didn't think about it, and said: "As long as Griffin enters the final, he will be the champion, this is a clear result." "A long time ago, he revealed his dissatisfaction with the new rules, and the way of voting seems to be democratic and free, but in reality most fans will not cast their votes fairly, they will only vote for the most famous one, or for the player they like.
Some people will say, then why didn't James participate? He's famous enough, isn't he sure he will win the championship when he participates in the slam dunk contest?
This problem is easy to explain, although James is very famous, but there will be more people who hate him, so that the second and second will lower his vote rate, and the sunspots will not vote fairly, they will definitely vote for James's opponent.
Wu Huang does not participate in the slam dunk contest also has part of the reason, unless the league opens up voting in Asia, otherwise even if he performs a 720-degree windmill dunk, it will be difficult to win the championship in the end, who called his brain-dead fans have 60e, but black fans also have 60e.
Chinese should know best that voting is the most unfair, from a young age to elect a class leader, is like this, not smooth enough, popularity can not go up, no matter how good you study, it is useless, the eyes of the masses are not bright, on the contrary, the masses are the most easily brainwashed and controlled, the truth is always in the hands of a few.
Emperor Wu has been fighting for his own fairness, and his fairness means that whatever is beneficial to me is fair and just. If I don't get the benefits, it's certainly unfair, it's definitely not democratic and free.
The result of the slam dunk contest was as he expected, and in the most high-profile slam dunk contest, McGee from the Wizards won the house with a creative and historic two-ball dunk and a three-shot dunk, but the championship was won by Griffin, who had the home-court advantage and was more famous, who received 70 percent of the fan vote, while McGee only received 30 percent.
"He's got a car, and there's nothing like a car, unless I get a plane." McGee is in a good state of mind, and said with a silly smile.
Before the final dunk, Griffin's performance was not as good as McGee's, especially in terms of creativity and ornamentation, but in the last ball, Griffin used the car, Davis hid in the car, threw the ball through the sunroof, Griffin crossed the car to complete the dunk, and the audience was boiling.
In fact, this dunk is like that in the eyes of old fans, and the gimmick of flying over the car is also used by others, and the difficulty is actually not too big.
"The penultimate dunk was almost my last dunk, because Ibaka did a dunk that was similar to what I was prepared for, and I had to use the last dunk early in order to get more points to get to the finals." McGee naively explained after the race.
Wu Huang predicted the result, but he didn't predict the process, the excitement of this slam dunk contest is really rare in history, he should stay on the scene to take a look, including DeRozan, who he has always looked down on, in fact, people have also made great progress, in terms of bounce power and air ability are far better than in college, he is not the only one in the world who is improving.
The final of this year's slam dunk contest was also very exciting, after McGee hastily completed the final dunk, the entire Staples Center, the world's eagerly awaited fans were waiting for only one name - Blake Griffin, and no one else.
McGee failed by leaving all his creativity and ability in the first round, and in the end, Griffin's title was not well deserved, but who called McGee's last dunk was too common, and the overall quality of this Los Angeles All-Star Slam Dunk Contest should be the highest since the 2000 Slam Dunk Contest when Carter won the championship.
If DeRozan had shown this level in last year's slam dunk contest, he could have won the slam dunk contest last year, but alas, his one-arm loop will only remain in our memories forever like Francis's height off the ground in 2000.
As for Ibaka, his playing momentum, his free throw line dunk without stepping on the line all give a sense of the strength of this Congolese man, and don't forget that he was the champion of the Spanish league slam dunk contest in the past.
Unfortunately, their opponents were too strong, and McGee's creativity in the knockout stages was unmatched, and the first double buckle of the high and low baskets had whetted people's appetites, and he finally managed to do it in a jaw-dropping way. The second time, he actually challenged the performance method of the three yellow eggs, and the difficulty can be imagined - it is not an exaggeration to call it an acrobatic performance. So with the help of his mother's kiss bribe, he beat Griffin to the final with a high score of 99 points.
Griffin can be said to have used his hard power to stage a scene comparable to Carter's performance in 2000, the 360 turn after the back of the head dunk, eye-catching, and his third dunk, although said to be like Carter's tribute, but his height is even higher than Carter, he puts his entire forearm in the hoop, up to the elbow - this is deeper than Carter back then. As for those choir performances and the like, it was just a gimmick, and the scene of him flying over the car to catch the ball at the end made the entire Staples Center boil without any suspense, and also made McGee's last dunk just a formality.
The final result was the same as Wu Huang predicted, with Griffin winning the slam dunk contest at home, and as James said, "explosive more than me." "After the performance creativity of previous years, this year's slam dunk contest has finally returned to the most essential dunk and has become another classic of the dunk contest.
Wu Huang returned to the hotel at this moment, just when the reporters thought that there was no follow-up, he went directly from the inside of the hotel to the underground parking lot, and then secretly drove his company's car to another five-star hotel a hundred meters away, where little Hermione was waiting for him in a theme room in this hotel at the moment...... As for what the subject is? Wu Huang, who consciously became an old driver, couldn't guess that this question made the British girl have so many tricks.
Just when the emperor of New York was unscrupulous, the current Los Angeles basketball circle was discussing: who is the real king?
If you used to say Kobe, this would definitely be the correct answer, but after Griffin won the slam dunk contest with the song "ibelieveicanfly" (I believe I can fly), "Philip" has become the new darling of the "City of Angels".
Before All-Star, Bryant became the darling of Hollywood with his new movie "The Black Mamba", and "Peter Pan" not only promoted his new movie around during the All-Star Game, but he also successfully left his handprint on the Shin Kong Strip.
Kobe's attention is self-evident, but with the slam dunk contest coming to a successful end, Griffin won the championship with a slam dunk flying over a sports car, "Feed Bryant" has surpassed Kobe to become the new darling of the "City of Angels".
When flying over a sports car during the slam dunk contest, Griffin arranged for a choir of nearly 30 people to sing for him in the center of the field, and the name of the song was "ibelieveicanfly" (I believe I could fly). As it turned out, Griffin not only could fly, but he flew brilliantly, not only did he successfully fly over a sports car to win the slam dunk contest, but he also flew over Kobe Bryant, drawing all the media attention to himself.
Griffin's choice of flying over the sports car may not have any implications, but attentive fans may remember. When Kobe Bryant and O'Neal met during the Christmas War, O'Neal once said that he was a wall of flesh, and Kobe Bryant was a sports car full of horsepower. And the advertisement for Kobe Bryant's flying over car has long been known.
Now, Griffin is flying over a sports car in the dunk contest, and I wonder if this is a hint that he has every strength to surpass Kobe Bryant and become the new ruler of Los Angeles.
Of course, not everyone is full of praise for Griffin, Wizards owner Ted Leonsis has complained about McGee in his blog, Leonsis thinks McGee's dunk is really creative, McGee should win the championship, and Griffin is just plagiarizing his predecessors.
Leonsis said: I think McGee deserves to win the slam dunk contest, his movements are creative and stylish, and his three-ball dunk performance is really wonderful, and he deserves to win the championship. And Griffin's winning move was flying over the car, which is an old trick. Gus Johnson (former Wizards forward) has played this before, flying cars are not new, and this action is a spin-off of Johnson's performance back then.
After the slam dunk contest ended, similar news came out one after another, but most of them were full of praise for Griffin, which shows that the team behind Griffin has no worse hype than Wu Huang's team. At the same time, it also means that the league is very optimistic about this interior monster who is white on the outside and black on the inside, and obviously intends to promote the new core of the Clippers.
It's not just Griffin, during All-Star Weekend, everyone from all walks of life sang and I appeared, and everyone used their own tricks to grab the headlines and hype themselves.
Wu Huang lowered his profile, in fact, he is just accumulating energy for tomorrow's All-Star Game, in the hearts of stars of his level, the All-Star Weekend is only the last day to be the main battlefield, the first two days are appetizers, and it is the performance moment of those supporting actors.
In fact, on the second day of the All-Star Weekend, many fans began to watch this feast, although the last day of the main game may not be as intense as the rookie game on the first day, but everyone watching the NBA is mainly to watch the stars, so even if both sides of the main game are very perfunctory, fans see their favorite stars on the court showing dazzling superb skills, it is more comfortable than watching a group of hairy boys fight and win.
Many fans believe that this year's All-Star Game will be more intense than ever, on the grounds that Wu Huang has too many enemies, in addition to having a large number of enemies in his own team, there are more people who hate him in the Western troops opposite.
Here is naturally a name Kobe, now as soon as the boss sees Wu Huang, the corner of his left eye will twitch, recalling that his eyes have been purple for more than a week, the boss is so angry that he wants to kill this little bastard with an elbow!
That's right, Kobe Bryant wants to take revenge on Emperor Wu now, but there are too many things to avoid in all aspects when it comes to his status, and it is never so easy to retaliate, otherwise Emperor Wu will not have revenge from Howard until now, it is too difficult to find this kind of opportunity.
The league will keep a close eye on these stars who have a grudge, whether it is the current Stern or the upcoming Xiao Hua, they will not allow malicious brawls and retaliation on the court, if Wu Huang did not have the shield of racial discrimination, he would have been banned for at least ten games some time ago.
On the day of the game, Popovich made a bad joke at the press conference: "In the All-Star Game, I will let Kobe, Dirk and Yao Ming play for 45 minutes...... Of course, if I let them play the full 48 minutes, my intentions are too obvious. In the past, Popovich would use the All-Star break to "think about life", but this year he had to fly to Los Angeles with Duncan and Ginobili, in fact, the old coach did not want to be this interim coach, although he has countless times more say in the Western Stars than D'Antoni, but people really don't want to do this kind of meaningless thing.
Popovich wasn't exactly joking, everyone knew he could do something like that, and while 48 minutes was unlikely, 38 minutes was enough for Kobe Bryant and Nowitzki, especially Yao Ming, to drink a pot. At the same time, the Spurs coach also said that he will not let Duncan and Ginobili play too much, which he will definitely do, and he would like to let Duncan and Ginobili play only one minute.
D'Antoni is much more low-key, saying that when arranging his playing time, he actively listens to the ideas and opinions of the players and tries to make everyone happy.
Well, anyone with a discerning eye can see that he is obviously a lack of prestige, and the embodiment of the south to serve the public, the so-called pretense of listening to the players' own ideas is really ridiculous, everyone knows that he can only listen to Wu Huang's opinion, and Wu Huang's opinion is to take the MVP himself, and anything else.
The starting and bench rosters for the two star teams were announced two hours before the game began, and this thing was actually decided a long time ago.
Western starting list -
Small forward: Kevin Durant (Oklahoma City Thunder)
Shooting Guard: Kobe Bryant (Los Angeles Lakers)
Point Guard: Chris Paul (New Orleans Hornets)
Power Forward: Carmelo Anthony (Denver Nuggets)
Center: Yao Ming (Houston Rockets)
Eastern starting line-up -
Power forward: Amare Stoudemire (New York Knicks)
Small Forward: LeBron James (Miami Heat)
Center: Dwight Howard (Orlando Magic)
Shooting Guard: Dwyane Wade (Miami Heat)
Playmaker: Wu Huang (New York Knicks)
Western Conference subs: Tim Duncan (Spurs), Manu Ginobili (Spurs), Pau Gasol (Lakers), Dirk Nowitzki (Mavericks), Russell Westbrook (Thunder), Deron Williams (Jazz), Blake Griffin (Clippers).
Eastern subs: Kevin Garnett (Celtics), Paul Pearce (Celtics), Rajon Rondo (Celtics), Andre Iguodala (Knicks), Shaquille O'Neal (Knicks), Chris Bosh (Heat), Joe Johnson (Hawks).
The All-Star Game was broadcast in more than 40 languages in more than 200 countries and regions around the world, and there is no doubt that the All-Star Game has become a world-focused event.
There are a lot of things that fans are looking at, first of all, who will get the MVP between Kobe Bryant and LeBron James, which is the focus of attention. Secondly, it is whether Wu Huang can use the convenience of the head coach and the help of many teammates to play a halfway drama and defeat two long-established superstars in one fell swoop to grab the MVP.
It's no secret that he, a sophomore rookie, is determined to win the MVP of this year's All-Star Game, and the popularity comparison between Wu Huang and Kobe Bryant and James is also a highlight of this All-Star.
To be honest, the speed of Wu Huang's rise is a bit too fast, take Paul as an example, people have been working silently for so many years, and it is difficult to qualify for MVP until now, because Kobe Bryant will definitely suppress him, and the queen bee will not be able to get the support of the whole team, but Kobe can directly express his intentions in the pre-game roundtable.
There is a more obvious example in the East, Derrick Rose, who participated in the All-Star Game for the second time this year, the Bulls core entered the NBA a year before Wu Huang and also has a high approval rating in the American media circles, but among a group of stars who are outstanding in words and deeds, the shy Rose seems so low-key that he looks like a student who has just transferred from high school.
Rose himself admitted with a smile before the game: "Compared to the other guys, I feel like a rookie. "Look at KG, it looks like he's been an All-Star for the 14th time." When he was acclimatizing to the venue, you could see that there were so many stars behind him. ”
Look at Wu Huang again, in the warm-up just now, although the fellow stars around him only have their teammates, but they talk and laugh with the Hollywood stars on the sidelines, and for a few minutes he didn't know what to say to Scarlett Johansson who was sitting on the sidelines, which made the Hollywood beauty star purse his lips and laugh non-stop, and looked at Durant in the distance with jealousy, but under the fact that his attention was not very concentrated, he was actually smashed into the head accurately by Wei Shao's missed three-point shot at the bottom corner three-point line, and there was a big ocean.
Generally speaking, even if a young player is a superstar like James, it will take at least two seasons before he slowly integrates into the superstar circle, which means that you have to at least get rid of the rookie label on your body.
Wu Huang is an exception, there are very few players like him in history, because in the NBA circle where seniority is admired and seniority is extremely serious, strength alone will not be easily recognized, and superstars also have conflicts of interest with each other, after all, the cake is so big, every time one more person shares, others will lose one point accordingly, and you want to get a piece of the pie if you haven't gone through the rookie period, which will of course make other stars who have survived for many years unhappy.
So don't look at these superstars hugging each other, but that's after you're accepted by everyone, and before you're recognized, you're going to be ostracized.
Charles Barkley once said that it took him three All-Star games before he gradually adapted to the role and was gradually accepted by the star circle. And in Barkley's first two All-Star appearances, he came on as a substitute for legendary players Larry Bird and Wilkens, and he didn't dare to talk much.
Of course, there are exceptions to this, Larry Bird is an exception, Magic is an exception, Jordan is of course, and further on...... Chamberlain and Skyhook are exceptions, and they all rule an era that will be remembered even decades later.
Wu Huang also has to be an exception, he and Bird are actually very similar, both of them are very cruel to their enemies, and they are also very rough and barbaric to those who don't like them, but Bird can easily make everyone afraid of him, even if everyone hates him, but they don't dare to show it, who makes Bird is a real white skin, and white people all over the world support him, so no matter how mean he is, no matter how mean he is, no one will say anything about him, and the black stars don't dare to complain too much, who called all the coaches and referees at that time all white, Bird was like a god on the field in that era, and no one dared to offend him at all, at most they didn't surrender to him.
But now Emperor Wu has left some leeway in many things, in terms of meanness and cruelty, he is actually much worse than Bird, but look at how many enemies he has? Nearly all of the superstars have openly expressed their dislike for him, and even suffered an embarrassing incident at the rookie game that seemed to be isolated by the whole team, which could not have happened to Bird, only that he ganged up to exclude others.
"There are a lot of stadiums with the number 23 shirt hanging over it, and I want to hang my shirt on it, although I know that to achieve this I will need to work harder and achieve more, but I am confident that I can challenge it." Wu Huang's tone at the press conference was still very loud, this kind of thing is really not something that a newcomer can say, he doesn't think of himself as a second-year rookie at all, his tone and what he says are the template adopted by an emperor superstar.
However, at this time, few people complained about him, and the impression of Emperor Wu's arrogance and domineering had already been engraved into everyone's impressions, and his current achievements were indeed very perverted.
Emperor Wu has paid a lot to achieve his current status, and the biggest loss is popularity, but these are worth it in his eyes. Yao Ming is humble and polite, but it's a pity that everyone treats him as a soft persimmon, and the little men want to buckle one on his head when they see Yao Ming, but who dares to do this on Barkley's head, which is less than two meters?
"Hey, why don't you question me?" After Emperor Wu finished speaking, he found that no one was sarcastic about him, but he first opened his mouth to mock everyone at the scene, making the reporters in the audience embarrassed and angry!
Some media people who are familiar with Emperor Wu found that today's Emperor Wu is obviously different from yesterday, and he has become arrogant and arrogant again. (To be continued.) )
