Chapter 169: Kobe Bryant
Dwight Howard obviously didn't have the perfect eloquence and eloquence of Xiao, but he had a stomach full of grumbling.
"Xiao is a villain, I've never seen a player like this, and I've never seen a rookie like this. Every time he attacked, he was full of intrigue, I didn't like him, I didn't like him at all. ”
"He's always chattering during the game, he's always trying to suppress people with his words."
"He's just a little Kobe Bryant. No, it's even more insidious than Kobe, it's more cunning, and it can spew trash talk!! ”
"I hate the number 24, I hate every number 24."
“……”
Dwight Howard turned the launch conference into a complaining conference, and he complained all the time. Sounds more like the chattering guy.
The head coach next to him, Stan Van Gundy, was obviously much calmer, but he still said he remembered Shaw well: "Shaw is a special player, he has a special way of playing. It was very uncomfortable for us, but as you can see, it worked, and they won. I don't think they're going to continue to win because tonight was just an accident. If we do another game like this, we'll take them out easily. I'm serious, I'm not getting angry! ”
Dwight Howard and Stan Van Gundy both expressed something unusual in their post-match press conferences, and logically speaking, the normal pattern of this post-game press conference is that the winner praises the loser for playing tenaciously, while the loser regrets the defeat and also comments that the winner played better tonight.
But tonight was clearly not the normal pattern, and the winner had a solo talk show. And the losers complain without grace here.
But for journalists. That's a very good thing. Because it means they have more material to write about.
And this is no longer in the consideration of Xiaoxiao. He was already keeping an eye on his next opponent, the Celtics, and before getting on the plane, McDonleavy received a letter from Raheem Sterling, which only had two words written on it: agree.
So, McDonleavy didn't get on the plane.
Assistant coach Vincent was announced as the new head coach.
This order surprised Xiao Shao, but the other players did not look too surprised. After all, everyone knows that Dunleavy doesn't like to be dashing. And now Xiao Sao has taken control of the locker room and established his authority. Owner Raheem Sterling has even sent in a special assistant to oversee the coaching staff, and it is not surprising that McTDunleavy has chosen to resign in this situation.
McDonleavy's resignation is undoubtedly the last retreat for players who were originally opposed to the scorch. Even the head coach can't win against him, and he takes the initiative to avoid it, so wouldn't it be self-defeating to continue to fight against the bull?
It was a big warning for that group of players, but it was a happy thing for Teresa. Because McDonleavy is gone, and she can make a big difference. It was much easier for her to control Vincent than it was to control McDonleavy.
And in fact. After Dunleavy announced the boss's decision. Vincent immediately courted Xiao Shao, and his attitude was even a little flattering.
Vincent doesn't have a very high level of skill and tactics. But he still understands which way the wind blows and the grass falls. Now that the limelight is in full swing, even McDonleavy, a veteran coach with deep roots in the Clippers, has to avoid the edge, let alone him.
In the blink of an eye, Xiao Xiao has already enjoyed the treatment of a superstar. It's even better than LeBron James' rookie season. Because he is in the team, he is completely the first person who is the only one, and it can even be said that those who follow me prosper and those who disobey me die.
At this time, Xiao Shi seemed to be suddenly added to the yellow robe, and he felt that this qiē happened a little too quickly.
Suddenly McDonleavy resigned, suddenly Vincent took the position, suddenly Vincent came over to please himself, and suddenly those old players who were still with themselves were honest in front of themselves, and even the most luxurious cabin on the plane took the initiative to give up to themselves.
This feeling reminded Xiao Slang of his student days, and at that time, he was also like this. After all, there, he was the one with the highest force value.
And now, he's finally getting a taste of being the boss again.
That's great!
Xiao Dash felt particularly good, and then he opened his laptop and began to watch the Celtic video material. After looking at it for a while, I fell asleep.
By the time Xiao fell asleep, Adidas' media PR was already in action.
"A super rookie came out of nowhere, 32 points and 7 rebounds to blow up the league!"
"The Clippers rookie commands the whole army, and the Orlando Magic has a fiasco at home!"
"The offensive and defensive ends are complete with Contney Lee, and Xiao has become the strongest attacker in the 08 session."
"I can't elaborate on his role, he's the soul of the new Clippers!"
“…………”
Adidas' PR operations have almost covered a large number of sports media, which have given almost the best coverage to Xiao Shi under Adidas' PR.
In addition to Adidas's public relations articles, reporters also reported on Xiao Sa's humor at the press conference, which greatly increased the attention of fans.
And the original Xiao Shao's attention was very high, with the number of this game as a backing, and also won the victory, under the bombardment of Adidas' conscious media resources, Xiao Xiao was greatly discussed in the basketball circle all of a sudden.
That's the benefit of having a team behind you. The NBA is a business league, if there are not enough commercial resources, no matter how good it is, if it can't keep up with others in publicity, then the popularity will be greatly reduced, and the star flavor will be infinitely diluted.
Although Adidas' media resources are not as strong as Nike in the North American sports circle, Xiao Slang is now Adidas' most popular person, and the best resources are used on him, so the effect is quite amazing.
At the same time as Adidas is massively promoting it, some negative news is also coming out of media outlets like ESPN.
For example, accusing Xiao of being cunning. I like to design defensive traps on the pitch and this kind of news keeps coming. Dwight Howard's post-game accusations were taken as the best corroboration. A lot of dissemination was carried out.
But that's for Chick. and did not cause substantial harm.
After all, in modern society, words like cunning and insidious are sometimes not even derogatory, and there is nothing wrong with being cunning and insidious on the court, and it is not a matter of murder and arson. After all, basketball is all about scoring on your own while preventing your opponent from scoring, so why not score more easily if you can use a 'cunning' way?
Some young fans even like Xiao Xiao because of this insidious and cunning negative label that these media put on Xiao Sa, and young people will always like something different. And the chic style of play is undoubtedly something that has never been seen in the NBA...... Although the style of play is dignified, it is just like ESPN's commentary. Every step is a conspiracy, every look is a trap.
For young people who value individuality, such comments are really cool.
Therefore, ESPN gave Xiao Xiao a free promotion.
This was clearly something ESPN had not anticipated, as if they had previously decided to live stream. In the end, they did not get the results they expected, but only made Xiao's reputation even louder.
And ESPN was also very reluctant to interview Contney Lee, and they tried to get some negative comments about Chic from Contney Lee's mouth.
However, Contney Lee let them down.
When asked if you were angry about how you treated you, his tone was calm: "I don't have the so-called anger and non-anger, the court is the place to speak with strength." I'm not as strong as him. It's normal to be stolen by him and shaken down by him. ”
Contney Lee's calmness surprised everyone, and everyone didn't expect him to be so calm.
And what people didn't expect is that. When asked what he would say about Chic, he used very positive words: "He's an amazing player. He's smart and domineering, but at the same time he's very technically solid. I think he can reach a very high level and even become a superstar. Because, he gave me a feeling of invincibility. It's a feeling I've never felt like I've ever had, not even when I faced Kobe Bryant in the preseason. ”
Contney Lee praised Xiao to the sky in a word, and even compared Kobe Bryant to the sky.
This shocked everyone, and they all wondered in their hearts: Is Xiao Sage really that powerful? How can you get such a high evaluation from your opponent?
At the same time, his answer also made Kobe Bryant feel offended.
In fact, before that, Contney Lee's teammate Dwight Howard's remarks also upset Kobe Bryant. Because Howard actually said that Xiao Xiao was Kobe Bryant, and said that he hated all the No. 24 players. This is also obviously the behavior of comparing Xiao to Kobe Bryant.
Kobe Bryant has always been a self-centered person, and he has preconceptions about chic. In the Olympic Games, Xiao Sa once created a sense of-for-tat confrontation with him, and when he arrived in the NBA, Xiao Sa actually chose No. 24. And now, both Magic players are comparing themselves to him.
This has obviously touched Kobe's reverse scales.
So, he took the initiative to talk about it in an interview with reporters: "Recently a center said that he hated all the number 24 players, and also said that the other player was Kobe Bryant. I don't like that, I don't like people imitating my behavior, it's funny. I don't want to see the so-called Kobe Bryant Jr. in the league. As for the shirt number, I can't weigh it, it's everyone's right to choose what kind of shirt number to choose. But I want to say that there is only one purple and gold No. 24, and that is Kobe Bryant. ”
"Also, I want to tell another player that I only used about one percent of my strength in the preseason."
Although Kobe Bryant's remarks were aimed at two players of the Magic team, if you listen carefully, every word is aimed at Xiao.
And when reporters took out Kobe Bryant's remarks to seek Xiao Xiao's opinion, Xiao Xiao, who was in Boston, just smiled faintly: "I haven't been in basketball for a long time, I've only seen Michael Jordan's videos!" ”
Xiao Sa's words seemed to be the answer to the question, but in fact, it made the reporters feel a burst of slaps flying.
This is a naked-naked slap in the face!
Bang Bang Bang!
Kobe, does your face hurt?
