Chapter 082: The Death of Gallinari
After the victory over the Thunder, New York lost again, this time against the Celtics, 88-109, an unprecedented loss.
In this game, in the face of the combined defense of the Green Shirts Pierce and Garnett, the Big Apple finally went berserk, scoring 28 points in the game, but the shooting rate was only 41.7. After all, the Big Apple has been by Kobe's side for a season, and it is difficult to guarantee that he has not been affected by the powerful aura of the great god.
Just when people wondered if the big apple would leave the altar, in back-to-back the next day, Li Chen once again gave a heavy blow to those who questioned him, and also in the face of the double bag, Li Chen brushed down a high score of 53 points this time, and the shooting rate reached an astonishing 71.3, and the god-like performance directly hit the rocket after three quarters before surrendering.
'I feel like I've been in good form lately and I'm confident of winning this game and as for our opponents, as you can see, they just tasted a heavy defeat at North Shore Gardens. Obviously, individual basketball is no match for team basketball, and as it happens, the Rockets are a perfect team! ”
Gallinari, who was originally going to do a good job in front of Li Chen, was completely wilted this time, and the big apple had to score the ball again and again in front of this guy, and the Italian's pre-game provocation annoyed Li Chen, and everyone could see that Li Chen was going for Gallinari.
Even if sometimes the Rockets chose to be forced to change defenses, Li Chen still took the initiative to get to the Italians. After a brazen show-off, the ball was scored, and people seemed to see tears glistening in the corners of Gallinari's eyes. Although Gallinari said after the game that it was just sweat running down the corners of his eyes, the enthusiastic media didn't think so.
"Italy's talented basketball player was humiliated and wept!" The headline of the New York Times the next day was unprecedentedly desperate. It is said that Gallinari locked himself in his home for three days after seeing the news, and if it weren't for Adelman's daily phone calls to comfort his disciples, God knows what this guy would have done.
The Italian media also paid attention to the topic, but their attitude was clearly more Gallinari, and of course, being beaten to tears was not something to brag about. The media's unrelenting scolding did nothing other than make the story more widespread.
On the contrary, many Italians do not blame Li Chen, they just dislike Gallinari for losing face for Italian men. On the homepage of the Italian national men's basketball team. A joint letter from hundreds of people has attracted a lot of attention.
Although it was quickly deleted, the news of someone asking the national team to kick him out of the queue finally reached the ears of Gallinari, who was far away in Houston, and the Italian regretted it like never before, if he was given another chance. He promised that he would never anger Li Chen.
After being bukkake in front of himself for 16 balls. Gallinari completely recognized the gap between people, for Li Chen, he just wanted to avoid it now, as for revenge, he had no plans for it now, and he would not have it in the future.
"I heard you made that Italian in Houston cry, God, you're so cruel!"
as an opponent for the next game. Melon called soon after learning about Li Chen's crime, although he was somewhat sympathetic to Gallinari. But this does not mean that he supports it, after all, in terms of personal relationship, he and Li Chen are friends, but they have nothing to do with Gallinari. Young people will always do something excessive, especially a talented young man like Li Chen.
"Where?" Li Chen quibbled very hypocritically, "People have said it themselves, it was beads of sweat flowing into their eyes, to be honest, I wouldn't do such a cruel thing!" ”
Melon sneered, "Beads of sweat? I've never seen such shiny beads of sweat, and as far as I know, the guy is already cowering at home and afraid to go out, but no wonder, I might have killed himself! ”
Knowing that the other party was joking, Li Chen casually accosted, "Is it that serious?" Isn't it just that you are shot a few balls, and you will be thrown a lot of balls in every game, and you will live a good life! ”
"It's not a few, it's sixteen, I guess this can be put in the Guinness Book of Records, I heard that the Italians have raised this matter to the point of national shame."
Anthony looked like he was down, "Although this is a fair contest on the court, I advise you not to go to Italy for the time being, under the economic crisis, people's emotions are generally not very stable, be careful that you float back directly from the Atlantic Ocean at that time!" ”
I have to say that Li Chen's great achievements this time have added a little more color to the slightly bland alliance, competitive sports will always need some grievances and hatreds, although Li Chen is only targeting Gallinari alone, but the rocket man does not think so.
The Houston Chronicle blatantly typed a headline - Houston does not welcome New York, Houston rejects the Big Apple! The sharp words completely portrayed Li Chen as a hypocrite with a small belly, and New York became a concentration camp for hypocrites.
New Yorkers have always been happy with this kind of challenge, and the Big Apple media immediately launched a bombardment without being told. The New York Times made clear their disdain for Houston in just one sentence – the United States can live without NASA, but the United States cannot do without Wall Street.
As the world's most prestigious financial center, New Yorkers have a deep sense of pride. In order to better cooperate with its own bombardment, the New York Times even did a small investigation.
They randomly selected 1,000 readers from around the world and asked them what they thought was the most influential city in the United States. There were four possible answers, New York/Los Angeles/Washington/Houston, and the results clearly did not escape their expectations.
Sixty-three percent chose New York, 25 percent chose Washington, D.C., 12 percent chose Los Angeles, and almost zero people chose Houston, because for many people, they don't even know that there is such a place as Houston in the United States.
"Where's Houston?" The New York Times' web page is even interspersed with a game to find Houston, which most people only know as being in Texas. But few people know exactly which part it is. Compared with New York, the space city is indeed a little inadequate, which is similar to Jiuquan wanting to compete with Shanghai for influence. The two are not at all an order of magnitude.
The authoritative investigation results made the tsundere Houston media a little speechless for a while, they just wanted to speak quickly for a while, and they didn't expect New York to give such a big battle.
They themselves know very well that compared to influence, the three Houstonians together can't catch up with the rich New York, and for this dark loss, Houstonians can only knock out their teeth and swallow them in their mouths. Otherwise, if the quarrel continues, God knows what embarrassing investigations New Yorkers will make.
The media of the Celestial Empire are not so particular, and they are brainless about the brainless move of New York and Skycity to compete for urban influence. They didn't have any interest, what really made people talk about Gallinari being beaten to tears, they didn't care whether the Italians were sweating or tears, anyway, they were supposed to be beaten to tears.
Major portals have put this matter in a prominent position on the homepage. The Italians are on the cusp.
So to speak. Gallinari, who had attracted a lot of fans with his good looks, became unpopular for a while, and even the die-hard Rocket fans who were originally screaming for Gallinari failed to withstand the war of words from the masses, and everyone turned to the side of ridiculing Gallinari, anyway, it's not their own business, everyone is happy together.
There are good deeds and even uploaded an atlas, the front is a picture of Li Chen shooting in front of Gallinari again and again, and the last few are the highly controversial so-called "sweat beads", I have to say. The Italians with sparkling eyes have a good skin, especially with the melancholy look characteristic of Italian men. Immediately aroused the sympathy of many girl groups.
"How can you give it up?" There is a girl who screams for Gallinari, and such a high-quality handsome guy is so cruelly destroyed, which is really unbearable. However, after someone posted a few cold photos of the big apple, the girl's attitude changed in an instant.
"Well, I'm talking about how that damn Italian is willing to make Big Apple angry, don't you know that handsome guys are the common property of all mankind? Ah, my heart is beating so fast......"
The spirit of entertainment supremacy made the Italians miserable for a while, no one cared whether the fragile Gallinari could get out of this shadow, all they were concerned about was what kind of performance Li Chen could play in the next game, against Melon, which would obviously be a shocking battle between two heartthrobs.
The Nuggets' record this year has risen steadily, and under the premise that the lineup has not changed significantly, the run-in between the players is obviously better than last year's, Billups has always controlled the rhythm of the Nuggets, and the former Finals MVP seems to be rejuvenated.
So far, the Nuggets are ranked third in the West, and Anthony in the team firmly occupies the second position in the scoring list with his recent consecutive 40+ performances, although it is still unshakable to the top of the Big Apple, but most people have counted Li Chen as an alternative, after all, Anthony's current 31.1 points in previous years can almost lock the position of the scoring champion.
The showdown between apples and melons was arranged for a national live broadcast, and the Celestial Empire's CCAV also bought the broadcast rights of this game, known as the two people who can score the most in the league this season, the former just scored 53 points and made the opponent cry, and the latter also scored high scores in a row, what kind of battle will break out between the two people who are in good shape, no one knows!
Before the game, the media in the two places still had a war of words, and the Denver people did not look at the challenge of New York at all, in order to show their own vows, the Denver people even moved out of the past when Li Chen was repeatedly blown up by melons in the Lakers, when the Big Apple was surrounded by Kobe Bryant Gasol and other gods, and now he is left alone, you can imagine how pessimistic the situation of the Knicks is.
Denver is not the only one who thinks like this, most experts are still very optimistic about the Nuggets, the Knicks' single-core model has too many surprises, in contrast, the Nuggets with Billups as a brain have always been so stable, the team's offensive and defensive efficiency values are among the top five in the league, and the state of the players in the team is also very stable, if everything is normal, the winner will undoubtedly be the Nuggets.
Of course, New Yorkers don't think that in response to Denver's remarks that the Big Apple can't do without Kobe Gasol, the Big Apple moved out of the previous reversal of the Lakers' glory, tying more than 20 points in a single quarter, even if this is related to the old monk's tactical mistakes, but without Li Chen's strong personal strength, the reversal victory will not become a reality.
The act of exposing people's ugliness inevitably caused ridicule from Los Angeles, and the nouveau riche New York made them very unhappy, and Kobe Bryant even said that he was looking forward to the next game against the Knicks, and at that time, he would not leave any chance for New York.
However, for the Lakers and Knicks, who are in the east and the west, the only two chances to meet in a season have been exhausted, and the Lakers can only sit and wait for the Finals if they want to play with the Knicks, and the premise is that the Knicks can reach the Finals. Considering the Cavaliers, Celtics, Magic and other strong teams in front of him, it is very likely that the great god will have to wait until next season if he wants to fulfill his promise.
Naturally, New York is full of confidence, "We're looking forward to it!" (To be continued......)
