96. Gorgeous King
A few reporters who believed that they were familiar with Rashid continued to chase after him, hoping to get the news that Tianzun had been threatened and relented, but they were disappointed, and today's Tianzun changed his temper from the past, even if the reporters boreed him, he just kept his face gloomy and did not speak, instead of roaring and scolding as before.
Seeing that there was no gap in Rashid's place, the reporters flocked to Rashid's side again, but Wasburn kept silent about the conflict between him and Rashid, and just talked about the atmosphere in the locker room: "We have a good relationship, because we are close in life, we are all lovers, and we also like Rashid, you know, he is a fierce man, but he sticks a knife in his brother's side, we are all such people, so this is destined for us to have chemistry together." ”
Hua Ben's stubbornness made the media helpless, and the unrelenting reporter changed the subject: "Ben, what's the matter with you and Miss Bell?" Someone said you were living together? Yesterday a resident of the villa area confirmed that Miss Bell stayed in your room all night? ”
Who the is so sharp-eyed and so cheap? Hua Ben scolded in his heart, and he stiffly refused: "I'm sorry, this is the game site, please don't ask questions about things that have nothing to do with the game and the team." Even if you ask a question, I don't have the right to answer it for you. ”
The locker room is about the team, so you can ask, gossip news? Forget it.
Huaben's answer still made the reporters excited, because he did not directly deny the question, which shows that there are ghosts in it. Huaben also disdains to deny it, since he is a bitch, why should he build an archway? Well, that's not right, I should say that I am responsible for Bell in terms of both ** and public opinion.
In addition to the tabloids, most sports media are still more concerned about the problems of the Pistons, and Hua Ben cooperates in this regard: "If you want to ask about the tactics of this game, then you have to ask Coach Brown, he is in charge of this, and I only care about the execution of the tactics." There's no doubt that the Kings are a formidable opponent and they have a reasonable set-up, but we won't be afraid of them, in fact, we've been waiting for a long time. ”
"Our locker room? You see, I have a very good relationship with the guys, and it's like a family. We're going to have a cocktail party to welcome Rashid after this game, and we were always busy and didn't have time to wash his dust, so today is going to be a good opportunity..."
"You said the reason why you held a welcome party today is because you just reconciled with Rashid? No, no, it's ridiculous, in fact, because I read the yellow calendar, and you ask me what the yellow calendar is? Man, you'd better go back to Baidu, anyway, the yellow calendar says that today is a good day, so..."
With both Warburn and Rashid shut up about the dressing room, the reporters had to disperse, at which point Mirisic and Patin were in high demand.
"Mr. Mirisic, congratulations on your 40+ in the last game, what do you think about what some people say is just a fluke and a flash in the pan? Have you become the tactical core of the Pistons? ”
Mirisic had no affection for the reporters who had humiliated him in every possible way, and he said solemnly: "I'm sorry, I'm just a parallel import." "It's the journalists who put the name on his head.
Padding's side cooperated with the reporter, the good boy just could speak, "Thank you for the compliment, in fact, I am not that good, I can only say that the reason why I was able to set a record in the last game is that Coach Brown and the captain gave me a chance, second, my teammates are capable of shooting a lot of difficult balls, and third, thank God for favoring me, maybe my efforts have touched him, and I will work harder in the future - I'm sorry, I'm going to answer a phone call..."
It wasn't until the pre-game interview was over that the team was ready to play that Huaben saw Padding walking back in a depressed mood, and he asked with concern: "What's the matter, brother, did your little daughter-in-law in England call you?" ”
Padding smiled bitterly: "If that's the case, I'll only be happy, it's my landlord who called me, I'm really annoyed, the pipe in his house burst, why should I compensate for the damage?" Will I be compensated for my clothes and computer that were destroyed by dirty water? ”
Hua Ben's heart moved, and he asked, "Boy, how much is your rent?" ”
Padding raised three fingers and said, "Three thousand dollars a month, and I am responsible for the water and electricity bills and property fees." ”
Hua Ben patted him on the shoulder and said happily: "1,500 US dollars a month, you don't have to worry about water and electricity bills and property fees, you only need to clean the room, it's a villa, do you want to do it?" ”
Patin looked at Hua Ben in surprise and said, "God, why don't you do such a good thing?" ”
Billups laughed, "Ben, when did you become a charter man?" I haven't heard of you working part-time. ”
Hua Ben kicked him lightly and scolded with a smile: "Go eat Changxi, it's my own villa, I have a lot of empty rooms, why don't you take advantage of it?" In fact, he was upset by the reporters, and Padding's stay could cover his relationship with Bell, and if any reporter asked him if he lived with Bell in the future, he could answer them confidently, you go and ask Padding.
As for the opportunity to steal incense? Bell's villa is big enough.
"Is there a room for you, Captain? I'll go too, and I'll give two thousand a month. Mirisic leaned over and asked, where to live or not? He doesn't get a guaranteed base salary like Pattin, and his contract price is not low. Besides, the space is closer, and the relationship will become closer, not to mention that there are free cars to rub.
The staff signaled that they could play, and Huaben put on a sports jacket, turned his head to Mirisic and said, "Come together if you want to, my room is very big." ”
By the time the Pistons players entered, the Kings' bunch had been waiting for a long time.
Speaking of the Kings in the 98-04 season, I have to mention a title, that is, the most watched team in NBA history. Originally in the last two years of the twentieth century, the team, which included Chris Webb, Jason Williams and Vlad Divac, made it clear to fans that they were going to take it a step further. But no one would have imagined that they would not only go further, but also become one of the most exciting teams in NBA history. The reason why I want to add one is because there is the Lakers' show-time Jewel at the helm of the Lakers.
The NBA has to thank the Kings, the white chocolate for their elusive passing, and Webrey's nine-day slam dunk, because their nightly Kings games are so exciting and attract so many fans to basketball.
After the Kings appeared, fans discovered that basketball can play such a gorgeous style of play, and this gorgeous style of play can also guarantee to win! In a '99 season, the Kings had their best record since the Kansas City season in 1982-83: 27-23. Webb played at the MVP level that season, with 20 points, 2.12 blocks and a league-leading 13.0 rebounds!
Since the beginning of which season, the Kings have become a playoff powerhouse. In the first round of the playoffs that year, the team faced the Western Conference regular season champions, the Utah Jazz, who were eliminated in Game 5 of overtime. The main thing was that Divac didn't play to his best, even though he averaged a team-high 16.2 points and 10 rebounds per game for the entire series: that year, the Balkans were in the midst of war, and he had to worry about his war-torn family and friends in his native Yugoslavia!
The Kings have been the most successful rebuilding team in the last decade, having started before the start of the 1998-99 season, with the Sacramento uniform team determined to keep only Corris Williamson, Tariq Abdul Wahad, and Lawrence Fonterbock from the previous lineup.
In order to get Webb, the Kings sent Mitch Richmond, an All-Star of the past six years, and veteran forward Otis Thorpe to Washington. A month later, the Kings signed perhaps the best big man shooter in NBA history, Peja Stojakovic, and then singled out Williams with the No. 7 pick.
In September of that year, Rick Adelman took office in Sacramento, and the colorful Princeton system began to appear in the eyes of fans, and the gorgeous king was born. It should be mentioned here that after the rebuild, the Kings' ball market quickly exploded, and Sacramento's 13.4% increase in home attendance ranked first in NBA history, until the little emperor moved to Miami to break this record, which at that time had been in the dust for ten years.
Huaben knew that from the beginning of this season, due to the injury of core Webb and the aging of Divac, the magnificent division began to decline, and it was not until ten years later that it never regained its peak glory. After the Kings and Five Tigers, there is no Princeton gorgeous!
However, at this time, the Kings are still a strong team, and they even overtook the Spurs to finish third behind the Timberwolves and Lakers. Of course, we have to get used to it, this ranking is not a certainty, because the Spurs are used to playing late game.
The Kings' starting lineup has been maintained for five years, except that the point guard has been replaced by the more treacherous and flamboyant White Devil Mike Bibby, their scoring guard is the hard-working Christie, the small forward is Peja Stuttgakovic, the power forward is popular Chris Webber, and the center is Mirisic's hometown and senior Divac.
Brown finally had the opportunity to put Rashid back in the starting lineup, organizing guard Billups, shooting guard Hamilton, small forward Prince, power forward Rashid, and center Huaben.
Despite the hype about the clash between the third in the West and the newly promoted second in the East, the sour New Jersey media even broke the news that the Kings were going to teach the Pistons thieves a lesson in Detroit, and they were going to use the glory to crush the ugly Pistons and make them rout in inferiority.
But in fact, when the two teams stood together, the group was talking and laughing, and the atmosphere was harmonious.
The first was the warm embrace of Divac and Mirisic, and the two Serbian blacks vented their loneliness of being a stranger in a foreign land with a strong hug.
In fact, Milicic has deep respect for Divac, as early as when he first became famous, Divac actively helped him, hired trainers from the NBA for him to help him receive more scientific and effective training, so that he could be invincible in the European League. When he first came to the United States to prepare for the draft, Divac once again helped this unaccompanied child in the Americas, and in his previous life, at Divac's retirement ceremony, Mirisic cried bitterly, and he told the media, "Since then, I have no relatives in the NBA."
Although Divac is a cunning liar on the court - Yao Ming's persecution against him is simply outrageous, it seems that the NBA interior has not suffered from Divac, and the hapless O'Neal even let him cheat four offensive fouls in a game! But in reality, Divac is very mixed, he is righteous, emotional, not pedantic, whether it is the Lakers, the Hornets or the Kings, he is the panacea in the locker room.
Peja and Billups were rivals in the three-point contest, but both were losers, and this meeting was a bit of a concern, and they got together and had a hot chat. Webb and Rashid are old rivals in the West, the two of them are the same age, and they are also together in their golden prime, and every collision between the two is Mars hitting the Earth, so the two are sympathetic.
Wajben had nothing to do, and Bale didn't come to the scene, so he could only accompany Patin to fart and teach him some tricks: there is no doubt that with a good performance in the last game, the Englishman will be in the important rotation today.
When the time came, referee Crawford blew the whistle and signaled for the starting line-up to play. At this point, the two teams with the ugliest style of play and the most brilliant style of play in the NBA have met.
ps: Thank you for the rewards of Brother Tsing Yi, Brother Liu, Brother Crazy, and Brother Blood, anyway, I don't know how much a Cui Geng ticket is. Today's update is a little late, all kinds of depression today, alas, miserable recently, facing a major choice in life!
