Chapter 735: From 10,000 people scolding to taking off their hats to salute
[Thanks to the reward of the "well-versed post-80s", I have the impression... It looks like I haven't been tipped in months. Of course, there are still a lot of likes, and I would like to thank these relatives here. 】
……
The Heat's summary of the defeat obviously failed to win everyone's approval, at least not most of the fans.
Fans who watched the match know that it was an all-out victory from strategy to tactics to individuals. Miami's Big Four have played well except for Dwight Howard, who has played below the season average, in other words, they have played their best, but... The Clippers did better.
"Miami is a very good team, but unfortunately they still haven't won the championship this year." Xiao in front of the camera did not give the Heat extra face: "If the East team ends up on the Finals stage, maybe it will be an easier job for us." ”
The chic arrogance came, and for a while, the Heat team didn't know how to take it.
This is completely not taking the Heat in his eyes, and the Big Four seem to him to be no different from a fart.
However, he is so sincere, he does not look frivolous on camera, and he does not intend to anger the Heat, it looks a bit like he is discussing whether a medium-rare steak is better or a medium-rare steak is more palatable.
It is unethical and incorrect for Xiao to say such a thing, and the fact that he just won a regular season game is not enough to be a fact that he boasts of his strength. Respect for the opponent is a very valuable moral code, and I hope that the first person in our alliance will have this moral connotation. ”
In the end, it was Pat Riley on the Heat's side.
He said it very tactfully, he couldn't launch a slam from the perspective of basketball, he could only save the country from the moral aspect.
The Big Four's collapse in Los Angeles hit him hard, and as the de facto leader of the current Heat team, he is the one who should bear the most responsibility for the current state of the Heat. The accumulation from the Big Three to the Big Four has won him unanimous praise across the league, and the reputation of the God Operator makes him seem to touch the feeling of being at the peak of his life.
However, Xiao Dash is always playing the role of breaking his legend. He worked hard to form the Big Three, but he didn't even touch the floor of the Eastern Conference Finals, and he was driven straight back to Miami Beach.
Now that the Big Four have been formed with hard work, the result is that Xiao Shi said, whether it is the Big Three or the Big Four, it is meaningless, and it is a loss anyway.
This 'I'm not targeting anyone, I'm talking about everyone here' attitude makes the image of the dashing first man even more magnificent, but it is undoubtedly a huge blow to the team buried under his first man halo.
"Who else in this alliance can stop Xiao Shao?"
ESPN made such a question on his front page.
The Los Angeles Clippers responded by beating the Los Angeles Lakers, San Antonio Spurs, Dallas Mavericks and a Houston Rockets in a week's time.
"Shouldn't the law stop him? Isn't the Chinese president responsible for this? ”
ESPN once again issued a parody rhetorical question.
This has caused some interference to the Chinese president, who is visiting the United States, and even C-NN quoted ESPN's question in the interview with ******.
"I'm not a basketball fan. However, I am proud of the sparkling achievement. ”
The chairman's answer was decent, but his praise for Xiao Shi made Xiao Sa's popularity in China boil again.
In the past, only American sports stars could set off a public opinion upsurge in China, and Chinese sports stars in the United States or other countries can only have some fame.
And now, Xiao Po has become a star who has truly become a superstar on American soil, and he is beginning to dominate the joys and sorrows of American fans, which is of epochal significance.
You must know that the last one who can make such a big impact in the United States is the national treasure Panda Jun.
The regular season quickly ended in a winning streak, and the Clippers were still unable to squeeze out the San Antonio Spurs to become second in the West in the regular season, after all, the Spurs were still strong. But it also means the Clippers will face the Spurs in the second round of the Eastern Conference for a ticket to the Western Conference Finals.
For Chick, the Spurs are an opponent he's always looked forward to and never faced, so it means a lot to him.
And for the people of Dallas, there is obviously something unloved.
Mark Cuban is no longer going to say anything before the playoffs begin, and he even told reporters in an interview: "I've been focusing on my tech company lately, and I may not be able to focus on basketball for a while, I'm really sorry!" ”
Mark Cuban was clearly lying, and everyone knew he was watching the game at Bradley Arena last weekend.
However, everyone obviously didn't want to debunk him, and the story of him being slapped in the face by the Knicks in the finals last year is still vivid.
For the opponent of Chic, the Dallas Mavericks are all too familiar.
Because of this familiarity, the whole team from top to bottom, all of them were in a solemn atmosphere. They have no confidence in making it past the first round.
And whether they have confidence or not, the game will go on.
They rushed to Los Angeles before game day.
And the day before, a reporter photographed Mavericks players looking for fun in a nightclub. When asked by reporters about his readiness for the playoffs, Devin Harris, who had not been back in Dallas for a long time, replied drunkly: "Don't be funny, do you think we need to prepare?" No matter what position we put in, we will inevitably be dashed and dry. ”
"We didn't want to prepare, anyway, it was a 4-0 sweep. Is it bad to get into a rest state early? ”
Devin Harris's remarks were quickly published in the media, accompanied by photos and videos of the Dallas players soaking in alcohol.
The release of this video immediately shook the basketball circle.
It's true that no one thinks the Dallas Mavericks will be able to beat the Los Angeles Clippers, but... As a professional footballer, is it really good to be cowardly before you fight? Is it worth the salary? And to go to the crowd before the game to drink, this shouldn't be a model of a professional player, right?
All of a sudden, the guns of public opinion were all aimed at Devin Harris and others, and the Dallas Mavericks were also affected by the pond fish.
"This is the most humiliating scene in the history of Dallas, we can accept defeat, but we will never accept surrender. These players will all be thrown into the inactive list, they will not be given a chance to play, and they will never be trusted by the team again. Mark Cuban finally stood up, and he was particularly angry: "I don't give them millions or even tens of millions of dollars to have fun in Los Angeles nightclubs." ”
Mark Cuban was so angry, and so were the Dallas fans.
Texas has always had a strong people's style, and if they don't accept it, they will do it. But now there is such a bad seed, how can they not get angry, they even ask Mark Cuban to fire them and let them get out of the way immediately, Dallas doesn't need such soft eggs!
This matter has caused a lot of uproar.
Got a lot of people in the basketball community involved in the discussion, after all, it's a matter of sportsmanship and work ethic.
"As an opponent, I don't have anything to comment on. But as players, I would say that they did set a wrong example. But at the same time, I think they deserve a chance to make a difference, and they should put them on the pitch and let them prove that they know they were wrong and that they are willing to correct them. ”
Xiao Sage suggested to Mark Cuban in front of the camera: "Perhaps, this will make the game more interesting." ”
The dashing rhetoric was interpreted in a completely different way.
On the one hand, he thinks that Xiao Chuan is cheap and good, and deliberately says this kind of flattering and obedient words to fall into the trap for Dallas.
On the other hand, they believe that Xiao Sho doesn't need to be flattering at all, and he is genuinely trying to find a way to redeem Devin Harris and them, because no matter what happens to the Mavericks, the Los Angeles Clippers are going to win.
The latter is dominant in public opinion, but the voice of the former is not small.
The first game between the Dallas Mavericks and the Clippers came quickly, and the Mavericks didn't send Devin Harris and others to the court.
That doesn't change anything, everyone knows it's a definite lose.
However, it was just that everyone didn't expect the Dallas Mavericks to end up losing by 66 points, which is the most in a playoff loss. This was obviously a relief for Chris Paul, who had been the biggest victim of this humiliating record, having led his team to a maximum of 58 points in the playoffs.
Although the Clippers replaced the bench in the second half, the Clippers' bench was also like a wolf... The Mavericks banned so many people at once, and there were no available soldiers on the bench, so it was logical to bear this historical shame.
In fact, if it weren't for the last-minute chic letting the team close the point, there would be no suspense about the score difference breaking 70 points.
In the end, it remained on this auspicious number.
After beating the Dallas Mavericks by a very high score in the first game, Xiao still emphasized after the game that Devin Harris should return to the court to redeem himself in the game.
I don't know if such remarks have affected the management of the Mavericks, anyway, the head coach of the Dallas Mavericks sat at the post-game press conference without saying a word, and he sat at the press conference for more than ten minutes like a demented patient, and nowitzki was talking next to him.
And for his dementia, reporters have nothing to ask, in fact, the situation of the game reporters see more clearly than the Mavericks' head coach and players, if the game is not Devin Harris full of alcohol to create some gimmicks, otherwise there is not even a statement.
The sloppy remarks once again raised the heat of discussion on the previous topic.
Before the start of the second game, a reporter finally captured Devin Harris training.
Clearly, the dashing rhetoric has had some effect.
It also has some superfluous expectations among the fans, who want to see how these indulgent players can redeem themselves.
Time began to move forward, and the second race was fast in coming.
The second game, which began at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, was still watched by more than 20,000 fans, even though everyone knew it was a game with little suspense...... But it's also very cool to be able to watch a hearty victory at home! No one likes to lose, even if it's a pre-predicted victory.
Devin Harris ended up coming on as a starter, he showed great aggression as soon as he came on the court, he really used his whole life to redeem his career, he ran with his life, and he tried his best to attack the Los Angeles penalty area.
This did cause some problems for the Clippers.
However, only minor troubles.
Xiao is happy to see Devin Harris regain respect in a competitive way, but that doesn't mean he can sit back and watch Devin Harris take the win.
It's a different concept, and it's not about winning or losing.
Devin Harris played hard throughout the game, earning at least two applause from the audience at Staples Arena...... At one point, he drew an offensive foul on Griffin...... His skinny body stood stiff and stood there to withstand Griffin's breakthrough from outside the three-point line, and he was knocked out of the court, and then he patted his chest to keep fighting!
The second applause was when he flew out of the arena in order to save a ball that flew out, and he flew out completely with the intention of scrapping his career.
He saved the ball, but the man fell behind the first row of the audience. The kind Los Angeles fan pulled him up, patted him on the butt, and told him: Well done!
The Angelenos have never been stingy with cheers for their opponents.
Devin Harris did exactly what a tough guy should do.
And in Dallas, the old dislike of him has also begun to change, and the cowboys have begun to think that this guy is a man, even if he made mistakes before, but now he has won back respect in this way of evaluation.
Devin Harris finished the game with 22 points, 9 assists and 9 rebounds, which is an incomparably gorgeous quasi-triple-double statistic.
However, the victory went to Los Angeles. The Clippers only built a 25-point advantage this time around.
Speaking after the game, Schill praised Devin Harris: "He's made a lot of things for us, he's a tough guy and I have to take his hat off tonight. A player does make mistakes when it comes to expressing emotions a lot of times, but that's not all, we can't generalize, he's still a player who loves basketball and has a great work ethic. ”
This time, Xiao Xiao's words finally did not get polarized comments, and everyone began to take his remarks seriously, thinking that he was really thinking about players like Devin Harris who made mistakes.
Devin Harris also expressed his gratitude after the game: "I had a chance after the most painful three days of my life, and I knew it was the only chance, and I knew that it was even brought to me by my opponent. So, I don't have any reason to be holding back, I should have burned the fire in my heart on the pitch instead of venting it on alcohol. Any reason is not enough for a professional athlete to become negative, all difficulties should prompt us to work harder and be more positive! ”
Devin Harris made a pot of chicken soup, but no one thought his words were preachy, because it was something that happened to him.
After all, everyone saw it.
And even all involved.
From scolding to hatting and saluting, this is what Devin Harris has won in two very different ways.
