Chapter 108: Caesar is not as good as my father

In the second half of the fourth quarter, the difference between the two teams exceeded 30 points, and Larry Brown dropped the game with a substitute.

Li Wei felt a little sorry in his heart, because he didn't put himself on the activation list, so he couldn't play in garbage time. Then again, if he plays, Xie Siqi may not be a good thing to see that he can't even beat the bench.

The final score was 83-118, and the Knicks scored 35 points.

Garnett had 15 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists, Alan Houston had 21 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 steals, and Big Z had 12 points, 11 rebounds, including 6 frontcourt rebounds, in addition to 3 blocks and 3 assists. Oakley had four points and eight rebounds, and Charlie Ward had six points and four assists.

Off the bench, Nash had 14 points and six assists, Ben Wallace had five points and six rebounds, Buck Williams had eight points and three rebounds, Stephen Johnson had 12 points and three rebounds, Jeff Hornacek had 11 points, Bo Outlaw had four points and three rebounds, and Bruce Bowen had six points.

All 6 players in the team scored double-doubles, and 12 players all scored points, which can be called a feast for the whole people's attack.

On the 76ers' side, Iverson scored 29 points, 2 assists and 2 steals on 8-of-20 shooting, Jim Jackson had 16 points and 5 rebounds, and Jordan's successor, Starkerhouse, who was caught in trade rumors, shot 1-of-9 and made 3-of-4 free throws to score only 5 points.

Li Wei glanced at Larry Brown and smiled, "Do you want to shake hands?" ”

Larry Brown snorted coldly, ignored Li Wei, and walked straight to the locker room.

Li Wei shrugged his shoulders indifferently. In the last game when the Knicks lost, Brown didn't say hello to Li Wei and left the game directly. Anyway, the two are not friends, and no one has to buy anyone's account.

"Siqi, let's go, let's go to the press conference."

"Oh, Auntie, let's go to the press conference!" Xie Siqi said.

Xia Cuirong said: "I won't go, you and your godfather will go." ”

In the Knicks team interview room, the players who came to the press conference were beaming. After a long losing streak of 21 years, the team finally swept away the bad luck with a big victory!

A reporter from MSG TV asked: "Coach Lee, in the summer, Larry Brown and Larry Bird both doubted your coaching ability and claimed that they would win when they met the Knicks, but this time, it was our Knicks who won by a big margin, do you have any opinion on this?" ”

Li Weidao: "I don't have any other opinion, I believe that the score of this game represents my opinion. ”

The Turner TV reporter said: "Coach Lee, just a week ago, your team just lost to the 76ers, what do you think about that defeat? ”

Li Weidao: "I have already explained this problem, in line with the principle of respecting the old and loving the young, I will let him play a few games every year, but we will also fight for the victory!" ”

"If you can't beat it, it's you who let others, and if you can beat it, you are your strength, is this logic?" A New York Post reporter asked.

Li Wei glanced at the reporter and said lightly: "Larry Brown is the real strength, so he looks down on a guy like me who has no qualifications and is not from a professional background." But in the NBA, winning is the last word, we won today, and that's the result. ”

An ESPN reporter asked, "Coach Lee, congratulations to the Knicks for their first win of the season, New York fans have been waiting for this day." The day before yesterday you said at a press conference that New York could win 21 in a row, do you still think so? ”

Li Weidao: "Yes, I believe that the team has such strength, and now our slogan is 21 consecutive wins!" ”

"No more rotten?"

Li Weidao: "New York is not bad, this is my promise to my daughter, and it is also a requirement for all players!" ”

The New York Post reporter said, "Can you estimate your final results this season?" ”

Li Wei said: "I can only say that it will definitely be beyond your expectations. ”

A reporter from Turner TV said, "Mr. Lee, what do you think of the current Pacers? ”

Li Wei's eyes widened and said, "Are we going to fight the Pacers again?" ”

The reporters laughed: "That's right, four days later!" ”

Li Wei said: "We'll talk about this question in four days!" ”

A female reporter from the Daily News said, "Coach Li, can I interview your daughter?" ”

Li Weidao: "What do you want to ask her?" ”

The female reporter said: "Why does she call you emperor? Is it because you're domineering at home? ”

Xie Siqi said in not very fluent English: "My dad is the best, he is not overbearing, he is only the emperor of basketball, and he is the best in the basketball field!" ”

The female reporter said: "Just like Caesar? ”

Xie Siqi blinked and said, "Who is Caesar?" Can he compare to my dad? ”

"Hahaha!" The reporters laughed in unison.

The word "emperor" in Chinese originated from Qin Shi Huang, and similar words include king, son of heaven, and so on.

In fact, in ancient times, kings and emperors were not the same concept. "Emperor" is the lord of the world, and "King" is the title of the rulers of the surrounding small countries, such as the king of Dali, the king of Goguryeo, the king of the Ten Kingdoms, and so on. Kings not only could not claim to be emperors, but they had to submit to them.

The word similar to emperor in English is "emperor", the ruler of ancient Rome.

Two thousand years ago, ancient Rome was a great empire that dominated Asia, Africa and Europe, somewhat similar to ancient China, and the rulers of various small countries around Rome were "kings", that is, kings, which could not be compared with emperors at all.

Later, ancient Rome split into Eastern Rome and Western Rome, and the title of emperor also became two.

After the fall of Western Rome, the Germanic people inherited their title of emperor and proclaimed themselves Holy Roman Emperor. The kings around them despised them, saying that they were not right-named, that they were not right-spoken, but in fact, they couldn't eat grapes and said that grapes were sour.

After the fall of Eastern Rome, the kings of Russia also climbed their relatives around the eight poles, and then brazenly inherited their title and proclaimed themselves emperors, which is the Tsar as we know it!

In modern times, Napoleon dissolved the Holy Roman Empire and likewise proclaimed himself emperor. There are so many emperors in Europe, all inherited from ancient Rome, as for other small countries, including England, France (before Napoleon), Spain, Sweden, etc., all are kings, not emperors!

In the United States, LeBron James's nickname is actually "king", not "emperor", and the normal translation should be king, but the translators in my country feel that they are not domineering and change it to a little emperor.

Xie Siqi called Li Wei not the "king" used by James, but "emperor", which is a real emperor!

Caesar was the first hereditary emperor in ancient Rome, a bit similar to my country's Dayu or Qin Shi Huang, Xie Siqi called Li Wei the emperor, but didn't know Caesar, which is a bit funny.

Li Wei explained two sentences to her, and Xie Siqi nodded: "Oh, it turns out that you are talking about a person from a long time ago, maybe he is a good person, but he is definitely not as good as my father!" ”
