Chapter 50: The aftermath of the handshake
"In a high-profile NBA game that just ended, the Washington Wizards defeated the visiting Toronto Raptors at home. In the fourth quarter of the game, Toronto Raptors' Vince Carter maliciously fouled Wizards center Kwame Brown when he dunked, and the players on both sides were very excited and almost caused a fight, but only 3 minutes later, the two parties shook hands, and the following is an interview with the two parties after the game......
"Mr. Carter, did you do that dangerous dunk to Kwame Brown on purpose, or did you do it on purpose!"
"I didn't mean it, I swear, I definitely didn't mean it at the time, I just wanted to win this game so much, I didn't know that that dunk was going to hurt Kwame Brown. I just meant to score points, not to hurt someone, and I really say sorry to Kwamei, but luckily it didn't hurt Kwame, thank God! ”
"When you came back on the field, Kwame walked up to you first, what did he say to you?"
He said, "Carter, you should apologize to me for what happened, or I won't forgive you!" Ha ha! ”
"How did you feel at the time, would you think that he was a little too arrogant, a rookie would dare to talk to a famous superstar like you!"
"Nope! Definitely not! You have to know that Kwame Brown is the top pick this year, and I was just a No. 5 pick back then, speaking of which I am not as good as Kwame, you also saw that Kwame scored 8 points, 21 rebounds, 7 blocks, 7 assists today, this number is definitely dominant, except for a little less points, the others are definitely at the level of NBA superstars, I believe he will definitely be selected for the NBA All-Defensive Team this year. ”
"Did you apologize then?" The reporter continued to ask.
"It's true that I did something wrong, and I think I have to apologize, and if he doesn't look for me, I'll apologize to him after the game, which is a basic principle of being a human being......" Vince Carter looks like a gentleman, talking about how noble his sentiments are. In fact, almost no one else knows.
"After you shook hands, will you be friends?" The reporters continued to ask questions.
"Of course, we will be very good friends, if Kwame goes to Toronto I will definitely invite him to dinner, you know Kwame is a big measure, I believe he is also willing to make me a friend, do you say? Kwame! Vince Carter shouted into the camera as he spoke...... "Kwamei, what did you say to Vince after you got on the field?" The reporter grabbed me and asked.
"I didn't say anything, I just said Vince, you need to apologize to me!"
"Did he apologize after that?"
"Yes, he apologized very sincerely!"
"And after that?"
"After that, it's time for us to shake hands, we're friends!"
"It's as simple as that?"
"It's as simple as that, you're there too!"
"Vince almost injured you before, and everyone saw that you were still angry just now, what made you forgive Vince so quickly?"
"This is thanks to my trainer, Mr. Steve Kate, who told me that no one in this world wants to hurt others, everyone has a sense of right and wrong, and everyone knows what they are doing is right or wrong. Vince Carter is a good guy, he couldn't have come out to hurt me on purpose, he probably just wanted to score too much, he didn't want anything more, he did it unintentionally, we can try to talk to each other and maybe become friends! As a result, everyone saw it, and we became friends! ”
"Thank you very much for your cooperation, and congratulations again, Kwame, for another victory, and congratulations on your friendship with Vince!"
The next day, sports news on major television sports channels made a lot of noise about my handshake with Vince Carter. Once again, I was on the front page of the newspaper.
But not all of the newspapers were front-page headlines, and quite a few had Kenny Smith and Charles Bucks commentating on football at the game. Some commentators also commented on the matter below:
"Mr. Barkley actually said that the game was boring after Kwame Brown went down the break, and then he even commented on the football game that was being broadcast live at the time, so was it difficult that he just came to see Kwame Brown? Although Kwame Brown's rebounds and blocks are really good, but the player who can only grab rebounds and blocks can only be a blue-collar and can never become a superstar, I can't see that Kwame Brown has the possibility of becoming a superstar, the Wizards also have Michael Jordan, Richard Hamilton, Christian Lightner and others, Barkley just wants to see how the football game he bet on goes, but he can't find a reason, so he can only take Kwame Brown off the break to find a reason, he is called dereliction of duty, called not doing his job, I feel like Charles Barkley should have been fired."
Buckley then exculpated himself in his column for his commentary, citing many reasons why I became a superstar, declaring that I would be one of the few great centers in NBA history.
All of a sudden, I took advantage of Charles Barkley's fame and became popular again.
The game was not intense, and there was no stunner, the game was controlled by the Wizards early in the game, and the process was relatively smooth, except for Vince Brown's foul on Kwame Brown, there was really nothing special, even if that foul was more severe than this in many games. But this game was later named one of the top ten classic games in the first decade of the 21st century in the NBA, just because of the handshake between Kwame Brown and Vince Carter, Kwame Brown was recorded in history by the NBA for the first time, of course, not because of his skills, but because of morality and heart, a great center needs to have a heart as broad as the Pacific, and Kwame Brown has such a heart. The selection speech once wrote: The game is the game, in order to win, we must devote ourselves wholeheartedly and use all our strength, but the game is just a game, and we should all use our broad mind to tolerate the accident, because there are no bad guys on this field, there are just a group of warriors who fight for their dreams, and each of them should be worthy of the respect of the opponent. -- Pete Johnson, "How a Great Center is Made"
