Chapter 121: The Beast's Roar
CC**'s exclusive interview with Li Chen was transmitted back to the headquarters that night, and was broadcast in the n**a preview the next day, Li Chen's Chinese narration throughout the interview was eye-catching, and his unique life story aroused the sympathy of the majority of fans.
Many fruit fans vowed to find out that irresponsible bastard through human flesh search, and dared to abandon Big Apple in an orphanage, is there a more shameless parent than this? Of course, these things can only be thought about, after all, they were all old things twenty years ago, and they happened in the United States of America, and although doxing is powerful, it is not so strong.
All in all, the effect of this interview has achieved Li Chen's previous expected purpose, cc** gave him a free advertisement, I believe that with his unique bloodline and fluent Mandarin, he will soon set off a new round of Big Apple whirlwind among the huge fan base.
However, the sunspots can always find a way, and they saw something in Li Chen's remarks, and the headline "Big Apple proudly threatens to sweep rockets" appeared in the newspaper the next day, and in today's information globalization, this kind of explosive news was transmitted back to the United States as soon as possible.
Although Houston is all white-collar workers, media reporters look the same everywhere, and in response to the arrogant remarks of the Big Apple, the aviation city unceremoniously counterattacked.
"The best rookie speaks wildly, sweeps? We're not Jazz", I don't know which editor wrote this article, who is not good at writing Jazz, even if they are swept, but this is not something that Rockets can jump out of and say right and wrong.
The colleagues in Salt Lake City were worried about running out of topics to write about, but the friendly Space City quickly sent them materials.
"You're not a Jazz, but you've never defeated a Jazz!" People turned over the old accounts of the first two seasons, from the 0:2 reversal in the first year and the 2:0 crushing in the second year, the Utah unscrupulously laughed at Houston's stupidity, it was already very sad for the team to be swept, but the Rockets were uninterestingly trying to jump out and fall into the next stone, isn't this a typical draw!
The slap slap made the Houston people red-faced, and they were telling the truth, the rocket really couldn't do Jazz, even if the rocket was slapped, it could only continue without saying a word, but because of this, the space city, which felt that it was humiliated, turned to launch a more fierce attack on the big apple.
Los Angeles has never been easy to mess with, and the Los Angeles people have fought back in a timely manner in response to the opponent's provocations, and the three wins in the regular season have given them enough material, from the bulkiness of center Yao Ming to the often stupid surname of guard Brooks, the Los Angeles people have despised the Rockets from head to toe, and even the stingy and loving owner Alexander has been subjected to a lot of open and hidden arrows.
The Big Apple's support group has never been the only one in Los Angeles, and New York is also a strong backing of the Big Apple, although it did not make the playoffs, it does not mean that they do not have the right to give their own analysis of the current situation, especially under the premise that they have regarded the Big Apple as something in their pockets, and the Big Apple City is even more vigorous.
One is the most developed city in the United States in the media industry, and the other is the world's financial center, and the combination of the two makes the people of Houston feel a lot of pressure.
"Speak with strength!" A certain editor made a fool again, whether it was from the number of stars or the value of the players, or the previous records of the two teams, the Rockets seemed to have no capital to talk about strength with the other party, isn't this waiting to be slapped in the face, so soon, they changed the title.
"Speak with results!" This is the most impeccable response, and the pre-game verbal battle will not have any impact on the outcome of the game, and both the Rockets and the Lakers will inevitably have to prove themselves on the court.
"There's always going to be someone who wants to win, so why can't it be us!" Li Chen stole Kobe's famous quote and gave the media a ** again, he said that he was very much in favor of the remarks of "speaking with results" in the space city, "But when the results come out, it is difficult for me to guarantee that you can hold back and not cry!" ”
"Rookie, it's been like this lately!" The boss looked at the younger brother meaningfully, "Such a big mouth is not in line with your style, haven't you always disdained to argue with the media!" ”
"Looks like our best rookie is desperate to jump out and tell the world that he's there!" Odom simulated Li Chen's appearance, shook his head slightly, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "I promise in the name of the Big Apple that you will definitely be defeated!" ”
"Get out!" Li Chen compared a middle finger, Odom's role-playing is really disgusting, Li Chen has studied his video deeply, he doesn't think that the one on the video is comparable to Odom, especially the smile, the big lama This is the rhythm of "fascinating people and not paying for their lives" into "scaring people for their lives".
There is a reason why he jumped out to bombard the space city, the identity of a rocket fan in his previous life made him always have a strange feeling when facing the rocket, especially the previous love and hatred of the rocket was also brought to this time and space by him, so he just hoped that this team could endure the humiliation.
The logic of the Big Apple is obviously only understood by him, but he never expects others to understand, anyway, for him now, it doesn't matter what the rocket becomes, it is the most important thing to defeat the rocket.
The first game between the two teams was played at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, and the first advantage of being first in the West was that the game always started on its own turf, and the Lakers had the lead from the start.
In view of the pre-game disturbances, the Angelenos played into the tradition of "friends come from afar, and they don't talk about it", and the rumbling noise resounded throughout the arena. Every appearance of a visiting player can spark a new round of enthusiasm for them, and taunts such as "go back to Houston" and "can't even beat the Jazz" are endless.
Artest watched the reaction of the fans with hatred, and while he admits that he loves the energetic fans, that doesn't mean he can accept that enthusiasm being unleashed on him.
"Beast, get back to the Houston Zoo!" One of the closest Lakers fans taunted Artest as hard as he could, "Filthy guys like you aren't welcome in Los Angeles!" ”
The beast that has been baptized by the Auburn Hills palace incident has obviously become much smarter now, and ignoring this situation is the best choice, even if he gives any reaction, I believe that what awaits him will definitely be the collective ridicule of the 20,000 spectators in the audience.
The 10,000-person finger that Pierce received on Christmas Eve was already known in N**A, and Artest didn't think he could be as forgiving as the Green Captain. So he decisively chose to be a low-key person, and walked to his bench as if nothing happened.
"Damn the media!" Brooks complained loudly that he wasn't much better off than Artest. "Little black beans? **? The banner almost didn't make the poor little guy cry, especially since the banner also painted two black things, which were unbearable to look at.
Xiao Heidou felt that he should not be attacked so strongly at all, and after thinking about it, he threw all the blame to the media, if it wasn't for the fanning of the media, the fans would definitely not have such a big reaction, especially the local media in Houston, if it weren't for their kind of mockery showing the lower limit of their IQ, the situation of the Rockets would not be so passive.
Unlike Brooks, Artest's reaction was not very strong, he had already recovered from what had just happened, but this was only on the surface, and deep down, the beast was brewing a storm.
"Damn rockets! Damn Adelman! Artest said to himself hatefully, in his opinion, Adelman brought him to the Rockets is simply a stupid decision, not only the management is terrible, the players are really incomprehensible, at least he can't understand the selfish decision of the Rocket No. 1, is it really that difficult to discuss with everyone?
Alpha, whose surname is straightforward or can be said to be a lack of brains, can't understand the game between Maddie and the rocket uniform team, but fortunately, he doesn't need to understand, the contract is already in the last year, and he will soon be able to escape from this damn place, and if everything goes well, he is only four games away from the ** body.
The Lakers' uniform team has already expressed interest in Atay, and the Big Apple's ironclad departure next season has left the Lakers in desperate need of a successor, and the defensive tough Atay first entered Kupchak's sights.
Although it can't be blatantly contacted, some private contact alliances still can't be restricted, and Atai is very useful for the Lakers' overtures. In fact, he had always had the idea of going to the Lakers before, but the birth of the Big Apple made him think that his hope was slim, but now things have taken a turn for the better, and the Big Apple doesn't seem to look down on the small place of Los Angeles.
"Hey, Kobe, don't worry, I'll be in Los Angeles soon, I promise!" This is what Artey, who has a little head to lose, said to Kobe Bryant when he lost the Lakers Finals last season, and the beast still remembers the look in the boss's eyes at the beginning, and he knows that the other party recognizes his strength.
Since he is going to Los Angeles next season, he must first play a good performance, whether it is to show his strength to the future club, or out of his own professional defense, Artest feels that he needs to play well in this series, and he vows to become the most headache for the Lakers.
Steals! At the beginning of the game, Artest quickly interrupted a ball from Kobe's hand, and the cleanness made the boss, the victim, feel a little helpless, and he was accidentally calculated by Artai to correct his rhythm, and the ball was cut off by Artai lightning in the process of bouncing from the ground to the boss's hand.
Brooks received a pass from his teammates and rushed towards the Lakers halfcourt, the only thing he could do was to dribble quickly, although it was not as amazing as the speed of Hades with the ball across the half, but he was not weak after all, except for Li Chen, who reacted in advance, the Lakers' half was empty.
Brooks was obviously instructed by Adelman before the game, and the opening few offenses were played carefully, although it felt a little difficult to let go, but at least it was reassuring, in case the little black bean brain disease began to shoot indiscriminately, the Rockets couldn't find the place to cry.
Li Chen's defense is still very intimidating visually, he is tall and has long arms, he stands in front of Xiao Heidou like a behemoth, although he knows that the opponent's defense is just a paper tiger, but out of safety, Xiao Heidou decided not to try, he handed the ball to Artest who was inserted from behind.
Although the beast's three-step basket was rough, the muscles were not white, and in Li Chen's stunned eyes, Artest was stunned to carry the body of the big apple and put the ball into the basket, and at the same time won a foul.
The 2+1 refreshment made the beast can't help beating his chest, he has been holding back his grievances for a long time, outsiders may think that this grievance is aimed at Los Angeles fans, but in fact, his grievances are given to him by the rockets.
Artest in the roar made Li Chen, the party very speechless, in his opinion, a 2+1 is just that, as for being so excited? Like Kobe's 2+1, there are a lot, but he has never seen the boss so excited!
Li Chen's puzzlement will not interfere with the beast's free throws, and he will score the ball steadily, Artest has successfully completed a 2+1, which is simply a timely rain for the Rockets who are deeply troubled by the atmosphere of the court, and the Princeton system wants this kind of hearty offense! (To be continued.) )
