Chapter 139: The King of Trash Talk
In today's NBA league, there are few players who dare to say "you can do it" to the coaching figures of the coach off the court, but Nick Young is one of them, and there are few who dare to promise "I will go up", Kidd who just retired to the Nets a few years ago is counted as one, and Pierce who is now sitting on the court is not a coach, but he is indeed qualified to say: "I am on and I am on".
Originally, Nick Young had already regretted it after blurting out the words, and he was ready to apologize, but Pierce's reaction was so stunned that he couldn't say it.
"Don't make a fuss, let them play well" Durant, who was sitting on the side, thought that Pierce was angry, and kindly came out to clear the siege and give Pierce a step down, after all, it was his teammate Nick Young who was at fault first.
Pierce ignored Durant, instead took off his athletic short sleeves and domineeringly motioned to the bench sitting in MHP to change the team jersey to him. The fans at the scene didn't know what was going on at first, but when word of mouth spread that all the spectators understood the situation, the audience began to cheer.
Of course, no one knew if these spectators were really cheering for Pierce to change his clothes in public, or if he was going to play domineeringly. However, some fans remembered that late at night a month ago, Pierce tweeted that he was thinking about a comeback, so they frantically shouted a sentence: "Pierce, fight for another year".
Hearing these shouts, Pierce raised his hands to greet the audience, and then walked to Zhang Feng's side, "I'll spray trash later, you take the opportunity to steal and see the other party's face." Zhang Feng nodded silently and followed the large army back to the field.
Nick Young wasn't embarrassed at this time, he was more curious, he wanted to see how Pierce spewed trash talk, after all, his former teammate Ci Shiping declared Pierce the king of trash talk.
Pierce's trash talk is best known for his Nets, playoff games against the Raptors, "they weren't competitive at all" and last year's mockery of Green for "73-win runner-up"
At this time, the situation on the field was very delicate, Pierce and Paul were whispering, I didn't know that I thought they were close, but Zhang Feng, who was standing next to him, was about to lose his teeth.
"Paul, don't even think about scoring, don't even think about passing, I've seen all your weaknesses"
"About ten years ago you could brag like that, now you don't have a chance at all"
"Oh, is it? Do you think Harden is better than Griffin? I think you made the wrong choice to join the Rockets."
"No, I'm just looking for a better opportunity while I still have a choice, I don't want to wait to be traded"
"It's true that it's very frustrating to be traded, especially when it's a team you want to trade for but don't want to stop it."
Zhang Feng heard this conversation clearly: in the first round, Pierce first amplified his words, and Paul then mocked Pierce for being old; In the second round, Pierce hinted that Paul blamed his teammates and that changing teams would not solve the problem, and Paul fought back at Pierce being sold by the Celtics who had played for more than ten years in his later years; In the third round, Pierce brought up the old story, pointing out that Paul was unlucky, otherwise he might have won the championship long ago, but Paul did not reply.
At this time, Paul's face was already filled with a little anger, and he didn't reply because he had broken through with his shoulders heavy, this breakthrough method had a very low center of gravity, and coupled with Paul's height and ball control skills, almost no one could prevent this kind of breakthrough.
But to everyone's surprise, Pierce actually followed Paul's footsteps, he clung to Paul and raised his right hand high to prevent Paul's pass, and at the same time he handed Zhang Feng a look.
Look at my face! Paul couldn't get rid of Pierce and stopped near the three-second zone, a mistake that a top point guard shouldn't make, and Paul probably made a mistake. Zhang Feng hurriedly rushed up and instantly formed a bag with Pierce, Paul failed to pass the ball out several times, and the referee blew the whistle to signal the scrum.
Although it is not a steal or a block, but it is a successful defense to prevent the opponent from losing points, and this scrum MHP team unanimously recommended Zhang Feng to fight, and they all know that Zhang Feng is a person with super high bounce and super fast bounce speed.
To be honest, Zhang Feng and Paul are fighting for the ball, which is a bit of a bully, Harden blinked when he saw this, and then stepped back with one foot to prepare to retreat.
"Look, Harden doesn't believe you can get this ball," Pierce deliberately walked past Paul and whispered a word of amusement.
The expression on Paul's face did not change, as soon as the whistle sounded, he jumped up, and when he jumped into the air, the basketball had been caught by Zhang Feng, and Paul said casually: "**".
At this time, Pierce "ghostly" approached Paul and pointed to the backcourt, "You see Harden has run to the three-point line."
Harden's retreat was indeed fast, but Zhang Feng's advance was faster, he grabbed the ball directly in his hand when he fought for the ball, and after landing, he did not choose to pass the ball but advanced directly. Players on both sides did not assist in defense, and tacitly let Zhang Feng and Harden have a one-on-one heads-up, which is a scene that fans and players are looking forward to.
"Hey, rookie, don't think that if you can win Irving heads-up, you can win me" Harden took the lead in "making trouble" and spewing trash talk.
No one is a natural trash talker, not even Pierce was brought out by Garnett, a trash-talk master. Therefore, Zhang Feng, who was not very good at trash talk at the beginning, quickly adapted after experiencing the "edification" of Nick Young and Pierce.
"I admit this, I really can't prevent the weak basketball that deliberately looks for fouls" Zhang Feng originally wanted to say Niang Cannon, but after thinking about it, he held back, after all, Niang Cannon is a word that is too Chinese, and if it is translated into English corresponding to "gay", you may have to eat a ticket.
"Just like Pierce said, the process is not important, the result is important, scoring is everything, you may not understand these principles when you first enter the NBA, but your team can allow you to get good data" Harden's words implied that the Kings are a bad team, and Zhang Feng can have a chance to brush up on the data.
"Thank you for the guidance, I will definitely take my teammates to score points together, instead of sitting on the court and waiting for my teammates to take me to turn the tables" Zhang Feng also did not show weakness and moved out of the playoffs that year, Josh, Brewer and other substitute veterans did not give up at the moment of life and death, and tenaciously led the team to turn the tables, but Harden did not contribute off the court.
Hearing this, the flesh on Harden's face jumped, and he reached out to steal Zhang Feng's dribble. Zhang Feng changed the ball from his left hand to his right hand, got rid of Harden's interference, and then pointed to the floor next to him, as if to say:
"I'm going to score here next, are you ready to defend?".
This sentence is a copy of Bird's classic trash talk, although it was not said, but everyone present knew that it was this, if the ball scored, Zhang Feng was pretending to be a big success.
Harden naturally didn't allow this to happen to him, he pounced on Zhang Feng in the sideways, but he still reached out for a steal to slow him down, and Zhang Feng easily hit a three-pointer from the previously specified position.
Harden was so angry that he walked to the sideline without looking back and was ready to receive the ball to attack, Pierce rushed to Zhang Feng's side, gave a thumbs up and said:
"One day, my career will come to an end, and you will be crowned the king of trash talk"
