Chapter 122 Explosive Popularity

Seeing Osborne being so considerate, Larry Brown said calmly: "You don't have to be here, tomorrow we all have to go to the Phoenix Suns to challenge, and we have to start annoying back and forth, you all have to rest well, it doesn't matter if I'm tired as the head coach." I don't know who is in the league on the schedule, and with so many games, the chances of players getting injured have increased dramatically. ”

Osborne knew what Larry Brown was thinking, and replied, "Tomorrow we will definitely give you a long face and have a relaxed and enjoyable game." After that, he went back to the hotel with Chauncey Billups and Tysian Springs, such a long away challenge trip is indeed quite painful, if it weren't for Osborne's system assistance, how could he rely on his own physical fitness to carry it.

Even with the help of the system, Osborne is still a little tired, and if the away game is not over, Osborne will have to ask for a rotational rest.

When he returned to the hotel, he was bored, so he gave Mary a phone call for a while, and then began to watch some news or something, after all, Osborne was still very curious about what kind of sensation his performance could cause, but when he saw the sports news report, he was immediately stunned, and even he felt embarrassed.

I saw the Los Angeles Times publish "The Battle of Los Angeles, Super Rookie OMG Defies the Sky and Defeats the Four Heavenly Kings by Himself." 》

The Sports Illustrated weekly special also listed the Lakers' game statistics against the Pistons, especially the Lakers' aces O'Neal and Kobe Bryant and Osborne.

Kobe Bryant played 39 minutes and scored 41 points, 2 assists, 5 rebounds, 2 steals and 1 block.

Shaquille O'Neal played 41 minutes and scored 36 points, three assists, 12 rebounds and one block.

……

On the Pistons' side

OsborneMichael Jean played 46 minutes and scored 51 points, 13 assists, 12 rebounds and one block.

……

In the end, except for Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O'Neal, the Lakers' scores are almost negligible, and the team's assist statistics are very bad, is it because they don't pass? No, because after the ball is passed, other players can't throw it at all, so the superstar basketball with obvious flaws doesn't know how far it can go.

On the other hand, the Pistons, except for Osborne and Michael Jean, are almost all soldiers, Chauncey Billups, Richard Hamilton (injured), and Taysa Anders all play an important role at critical moments, and they are also quite successful on the bench, otherwise Osborne would not have been able to score so many assists. Osborne has scored so many points and has so many assists, and this is not a win, there is simply no truth.

Osborne saw this and found that this sports illustrated magazine deserved to be a professional sports newspaper, and it really lived up to its name, which simply made Osborne admire it and analyze it well.

Osborne continued to look down, and suddenly saw a large headline that caught his eye.

"Ace vs. ace, Osborne equals Kobe Bryant + Shaquween O'Neal, there is this one Lakers give up the four kings"

Osborne looked at the title, this is not for me to recruit black, even if I can be worthy of the four heavenly kings, I can't declare it, Osborne took a closer look at the Sun newspaper, and it was clear in his heart, this Sun newspaper is specially exaggerated, taken out of context, reversed right and wrong, nothing bad, just to pursue a sensational effect, to make a big news. I don't have the heart to look down, the media just likes it.

When people are popular, I wish that the praise of the whole world was used on one person, and if people are at a low point, they wish to make people the worst people. This is the person loved by the media, as a public figure, you must not only learn to deal with the media, but also have a correct mentality, don't get carried away because of its praise, and don't be willing to fall because of its disparagement, anyway, everything is normal.

Although Osborne didn't look down, the excitement in his heart couldn't be calmed down for a long time, and now he finally waited for this day, even if not everyone liked him, but he had already played a phenomenal performance, and there was no rookie in the past who could perform like Osborne.

Even Michael Jordan, known as the god of basketball, Allen Iverson, who is known as the answer, and LeBron James, the pride of the champion in the same class as Osborne, can't achieve such a performance, after all, Osborne is a person who drives an invincible plug-in.

Osborne is not only a local explosion in Los Angeles, but also the Great Lakes region and the city of Detroit are also very satisfied and proud of Osborne's achievements after being spread by media and television stations.

Osborne's current fan speed is not inferior to those superstars, especially Osborne's handsome appearance that no one in the NBA league can match, it is simply a superstar, and the women who don't like to watch the NBA have also begun to pay attention to basketball because of Osborne, but in fact, they are just paying attention to Osborne.

Osborne's performance has brought more attention to basketball and the NBA, and his performance has also attracted the attention of the executives.

For example, an old man with gray and white hair also saw the report about Osborne, and thought about whether to give this guy a little benefit, and then perform well to establish him as a long-term image spokesperson for the league. This person is the league's biggest behind-the-scenes manipulator, current NBA league president David Stern.

It's just that the president is also a little worried when he thinks of this, Osborne's physical fitness is really average, and if he encounters any serious injury, he will soon fall like a meteor, but now that he has played a phenomenal performance after all, he can make an inspirational promotional video for him during this period of time. We'll have to wait a season or two for the rest, it's still too early.

David Stern then called Adam Silva and asked him to contact Osborn's agent and the team's president, Joe Dumas, to negotiate and ask Osborn's wishes.

Osborne didn't expect that the famous president would pay attention to him, who is David Stern, that is the guy who created the black and white war, Michael Jordan basketball god, if he has his support, Osborne will definitely have great benefits, such as revising the league's defensive regulations or something, of course, even if you are not close, you can't do evil, otherwise the consequences will be great. For example, David Stern once changed the defensive rules, not allowing joint defense, not allowing malicious fouls on people without the ball, lengthening the three-point line, and so on.

Don't underestimate these changes, which directly created the prosperity of the league's scoring guards, first lengthening the three-point line, making the three-point shooters more difficult, and not allowing joint defense, which is conducive to breakthrough scoring guards like Jordan Kobe Wade, and the league game has become more and more intense, and the viewing is getting better and better. So no one can underestimate the person in power, he always has the opportunity to rectify you.
