Chapter 874: Join the Big Five of the Warrior Group?!
As soon as Curry's words came out, not only were all the reporters interviewed on the scene shocked, but Durant, who was sitting next to Curry, was also shocked.
Durant looked at this teammate who had been with him for a year with a shocked expression, and said in his heart: "Since joining the Warriors, I have felt how much Stephen Curry wants to beat Xie, but I didn't expect it to be so strong. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
When Xie Chen was born, Curry also happened to shock the league, but whether it was from the perspective of personal honor or from the team he belonged to, it was Xie Chen who suppressed Curry, if it weren't for Xie Chen, Curry would be the first person in the league today, and he may have won two consecutive championships, plus this year may achieve three consecutive championships, three consecutive MVPs, and three consecutive FMVPs!
What a great achievement that would be! But Xie Chen ruined all these possibilities for Curry!
Curry has been in contact with basketball under the guidance of his father since he was a child, and his daily efforts are no less than any star, and he finally entered the NBA, and many people said that Curry could not adapt to the league at all, in fact, when he first entered the NBA, Curry's ability was not weak, but there was a brush in the team, one of the few lone wolves left by the Golden State gang, Monta Ellis.
On the sixth day after Monta Ellis scored a career-high 46 points, he couldn't play because of a sprained knee, so Curry waited for his chance.
The day after Ellis' injury, Curry scored a 36+10+13, the first triple-double of his career and the first player in the class of 2009 to score a triple-double.
After another two months, Curry got a quasi-quadruple-double, and once he scored 42 points in a single game, and the data for the whole of April was 26+8+6, which is already an All-Star level statistic.
Curry was ready to amaze the league next season and let everyone know about him, but injuries hit him out of nowhere, and Curry played just 26 games in the 2011-2012 season.
After his comeback in 2013, Curry immediately set a career-high score, scoring 54 points and hitting 11 three-pointers in a single game, surpassing Ray Allen in three-pointers in the regular season and becoming the three-point king in a single season.
His partners Klay Thompson and Dream Green also came, and when he wanted to make a big play in the playoffs, he was unfortunately reimbursed by Bogut and other insiders, but even so, Curry still fought desperately against the powerful Clippers to Game 7.
In the 14-15 season, Curry finally ushered in his peak moment, his individual skills and his three-point ability have been perfected, his teammates have also completed the evolution, Klay Thompson has become a monster who can score 37 points in a single quarter, and Green has also become the league's best defensive player who can play, score, and defend one to five.
They finally reached the finals, but they met Xie Chen, and one defeat was two years in a row.
Since joining the Warriors in 2009, Curry has waited for so many years, and the championship is still not available, and this year the team has recruited Durant, forming a Big Four unprecedented in NBA history.
Curry's words weren't serious, but they showed his confidence in the next game that he would never allow the Warriors to be overturned.
Lakers' Xie Chen and Nick Young also accepted an interview with reporters after the game, Xie Chen was obviously not in a good mood, and Nick Yang was even more depressed when he saw that reporters were asking questions about what to do if the team fell behind.
"Why didn't anyone mention the response ball between me and Xie in the game?" Nick Young pretended to be angry today and performed a classic goal with Xie Chen, and he was expecting reporters to ask him, "Nick Young, how do you know that Xie will throw that ball?" Were you nervous when you were celebrating with your back to the basket? Are you worried about what to expect in case you miss? ”
If a reporter had asked him that, Nick Young would have replied calmly, "Obviously, you can't see a trace of nervousness and worry on my face, even when I'm facing away from the basket." I Nick Young never does something I'm not sure about, I have faith in my brother, yes, that's how I trust my teammates! ”
However, the Lakers are now 1:3 behind, and the atmosphere is not pleasant, whether it is the reporter or Xie Chen, they are very worried about the next game, and it doesn't seem good if Nick Young takes the initiative to mention this matter.
Suddenly, during the interview, a reporter mentioned: "Xie, although you lost this game, but in this game, you still contributed a lot of goals, such as the goal that you and Nick Young responded to Stephen Curry and Durant, which is a classic." ”
Who is it! Who asked this question! What a question!
Nick Yang immediately got up, quickly coughed, sat up straight, and prepared to answer.
However, Xie Chen said: "If the game is lost, any wonderful goals are meaningless." ”
Xie Chen went back to the past with a word! Journalists don't talk about it anymore either.
"Thanks, I hate you!" Nick Young remembered that he completed that action so thrillingly, but he was not praised by anyone, and then remembered that the team was now 1:3 behind, and his mood was even sadder.
On the special plane back to Los Angeles overnight, the Lakers players were also in a bad mood, and they didn't win a single victory at the Warriors' home court, and Curry actually said such cruel words after the game, clearly not giving the Lakers a way out.
Ci Shiping is an older generation of players, he has played in the playoffs many times, and he has never heard the opponent say anything like Curry, and on the plane, Ci Shiping was unhappy and said: "What does Stephen Curry mean?" Retire if you lose to us? Is he so confident that he can win us? ”
Nick Young was also not sleepy, and shouted: "It is not enough for that guy to be taught a lesson by me and Xie on the field, since he is so arrogant, then let's reverse him and see if he will retire at that time." ”
Luo Er Deng was not so excited, and joked: "If it's true, Xie, after you win the championship, you can quit the league with Stephen Curry, and there are two less strongest players in the league at once, and Adam Xiaohua will definitely cry." ”
Regarding Stephen Curry's words, Xie Chen also heard and saw the video of the interview afterwards, but Xie Chen did not comment on it, he could understand Curry's determination to win the championship over himself.
"Curry waited too long, and if it weren't for me, if I didn't have the system, he would have at least won a championship by now." Xie Chen sighed with emotion, looked out the window, the plane had risen to the sky above Oakland City, looking down from the plane, the city lights in the night were staggered, although it was not as shocking as the brilliant light picture when taking off at night in Los Angeles and New York, but it made Xie Chen intoxicated.
"I don't know if I'll be here again." Xie Chen muttered, the opponent has such a strong determination this year, and Xie Chen is not sure to win.
If you really lose......
Back in Los Angeles, it was difficult for the Lakers players to have easy preparation time, and various media came to the Lakers training hall early the next morning, and even began to guard in the parking lot.
"Before you said that you would retire if you won the championship this season, in the final stage of the regular season, many city teams and fans also made a farewell ceremony for you in advance, everyone believes that you can really win the championship and retire this season, but now you are beaten to 1:3 by the Warriors, and you may be eliminated in the next game, do you feel that you have lived up to everyone's expectations of you? Was it too hasty to make such a promise before? If the Big Four don't break up, they may still be an obstacle that you can't overcome, do you want to take that back? ”
Xie Chen was very uncomfortable listening to it, but there were too many reporters in front of him, and the other party said that he would reply by himself, and he would be tired to death, not to mention that the person who asked was a woman, and Xie Chen didn't want to yell at the girl.
"It's only 1:3 now, I haven't lost the series yet, and everyone accuses me of that, and if I really lose, I don't know how many people will say I'm arrogant. Want me to take it back? Isn't this a slap in the face? Xie Chen couldn't help but feel that this reporter's question was ridiculous, and she even expected Xie Chen to announce in public that she would no longer mention retirement.
"Stephen Curry said that if he is reversed by you, he will retire, what do you think about that?" Another reporter challenged Xie Chen.
Xie Chen ignored them and walked away quickly.
"If you lose this season, will you stay with the Lakers, or will you go to another team and mix with other stars? Will you leave the West and return to the East? There are a lot of fans who suggest you go to LeBron James to form the Big Four in the Cavaliers, would you consider it? ”
Xie Chen walked quickly, and in the end, he couldn't bear to be annoyed, and after getting rid of them, he shouted to the reporter behind him: "I'll go to the Warrior Group Big Five!" ”
Of course, this is angry talk, what Xie Chen pursues is to rely on his personal ability to win the championship, he doesn't want two cores, will he go to form the Big Four? It's all a matter of what a bird!
However, when the reporters heard this, they immediately recorded this sentence and exclaimed: "Xie actually went to join the team that defeated him!" ”
Someone else said: "The league is going to be dominated by the Warriors!" ”
Coming to the training hall, Xie Chen's mood calmed down after practicing the ball, Ci Shiping was late, and as soon as he entered the hall, he asked Xie Chen with a smile: "Xie, I just saw a news on my mobile phone, saying that if you lose the game, you will join the Warriors, haha, you can do this kind of thing, very good, I just want to say, please bring me, I will also go to mix a championship ring." ”
Although Ci Shiping heard the video of Xie Chen indeed saying this on his mobile phone, he knew that Xie Chen's true thoughts were definitely not like this.
Luke Wharton said to Tzu Shiping: "Don't joke, the series is not over yet, don't always say that we will lose, it will affect the morale of the players." Thanks, can you have a few words? ”
Xie Chen also happened to want to take a break, and when he saw that the coach had something to say to him, he walked with Wharton to a place where no one was there and sat down.
Luke Wharton said: "You must be under a lot of pressure right now. ”
Xie Chen shook his head bitterly and said, "Who asked me to say in advance that I won the championship and retired, I enjoyed the farewell tour brought to me by many teams, and I have to endure everyone's doubts about me now." ”
Luke Wharton nodded, Xie Chen is still very mature and can accept these things calmly, Wharton said: "I know what you want to do now must be to recover the score and prove yourself, but you also see Stephen Curry's attitude, and Steve Cole, his attitude is the same as Curry's, do you remember last year's Finals?" The first game you didn't play because of the birth of your daughter, and the Warriors also led one game, but they still lost the series, Kerr's angry expression, I still remember. He would never allow such a thing to happen again. Maybe you've never thought about what happens after the defeat, and as the head coach of the Lakers, I shouldn't say that, but I want to remind you that in case of a game, we're really over...... I hope your mood doesn't hurt too much because you've never been eliminated in the playoffs......"
Xie Chen knew what Walton meant, Xie Chen had never lost anyone in the playoffs, he was worried that Xie Chen would lose the game after making such a big promise, in the face of his own promise, in the face of accusations from the outside world, Xie Chen may be very emotional, and the Lakers may not be able to find Xie Chen in the past few days, unable to talk to Xie Chen, Xie Chen may even choose to leave the Lakers to join other teams in order to defeat the Warriors.
In fact, from the perspective of the Lakers management, whether the Lakers can be reversed or not, there are gains and losses for them, from Jenny Buss's personal point of view, she hopes that the Lakers will lose this season, and Xie Chen will stay with the Lakers for another year, so that the Lakers can enjoy the feeling of becoming a first-class team and the most watched team in the world.
Xie Chen said: "You want to tell me about the contract renewal, right?" Don't worry, I promised Jeanie Buss that if I don't win the championship this season, I will definitely be with the Lakers next season, do you really think I'm going to join the Warriors? ”
When Luke Wharton heard Xie Chen's words, he finally put his mind at ease for himself and his boss, and said with a smile: "Haha, how could it be?" No matter which team you go to, you can't go to the Warriors, who hate you so much from top to bottom, including the fans there, haha, and the Warriors don't have the money to put four superstars together at the same time. ”
Xie Chen listened but said: "It is precisely because of this that I want to go more, I really want to see if those fans will boo me like that if I become a Warriors player, Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Green and other arrogant guys, watching me pretend to be forced on the court, will they applaud me or be angry like before." As for money, you should know that I never cared about money, if I really go to the Warriors, it doesn't matter if I get paid less than Ian Clark, my rookie contract just expired, and I announced my retirement just when I was about to sign a big contract, do you still think I'm a money greedy person? ”
Luke Wharton listened to Xie Chen say so much, and after careful analysis, what Xie Chen said did make sense, according to Xie Chen's personality, he is definitely looking forward to becoming the new owner of the Warriors, which will make him even more excited than winning the MVP.
Xie Chen dared to announce his retirement when he got a big contract, he didn't care about making money in the league at all, and NIKE had reached a contract renewal agreement with Xie Chen, regardless of whether Xie Chen retired or not, Xie Chen would get a large contract extension, plus Xie Chen's wife Katie's family itself is also rich.
Luke Wharton's face changed suddenly for a while, and said: "You just said that if you lose, you must stay with the Lakers, and you won't go to other teams!" ”
Xie Chen smiled slightly: "What if I win and then go?" ”
