Chapter 229: Appreciating Chic
For the reporter below, Xiao is a very, very promising rookie and a very, very exciting future superstar, and everything he has shown so far is a sign that he can become a game-changing superstar in the league.
However, in terms of his status today, he doesn't seem to have the standing and qualifications to stand in such a high position to make such an assessment of LeBron James against the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Because, as it sounds, it's a bit arrogant.
How can a fledgling rookie judge LeBron James, who is known as the first person in the league and is known as the little emperor?
Where does the core player of a league bottom team come from to comment on the Cavaliers? Not to mention that the Cavaliers have fatal flaws.
These doubts turned into some strange feelings in my heart.
But it's New York, after all, and it's the Knicks' press conference after all.
However, there was still a Cleveland reporter who stood up and asked his question with more restraint: "You said that the Cavaliers have fatal flaws, you say that LeBron James also has fatal flaws, and the reason why you made such a judgment is because you succeeded by luck this time, right?" ”
Although the tone is restrained, the language is full of sarcasm, and it sounds as if he is teaching a lesson to a rich nouveau riche.
Xiao Sao could certainly hear the arrogance and sarcasm in this language, so he just sneered faintly and reiterated slowly in his unique slow tone: "Our victory is not a fluke, but a real win, we suppressed the Cavaliers from the beginning of the game." Whether LeBron is there or he is not. He poses a lot of threats to us, but that's what I said. He's a player with fatal flaws. So he wasn't enough to influence the win of the game. I know a lot of people think I'm lying. But actually, I don't have the need to lie, and I don't have the habit of doing so. There are many things that I can't say now, but time will give you the answer. LeBron James, maybe a very good player, but I always think so. He's not the type of player who can win key balls. This is the first time I've commented on a player, and maybe it's going to be my last time judging a player, and I don't want to be an enemy of anybody, and I don't want to break with anyone. The reason why I say this is not only out of honesty in my heart, but more importantly, I think I feel uncomfortable with LeBron James announcing that he will win without consulting the Knicks before the game, the game is a matter for two teams, and he has no right to put his opinion above his opponent. At least. Shut your mouth until the results are in. Otherwise. The person who gets slapped will be himself. ”
Bang Bang Bang!! 、
Before the chic words fell, the scene resounded with thunderous applause.
For New York reporters, these words were undoubtedly the ones that made them raise their eyebrows.
They're used to opponents not taking the Knicks seriously, they're used to opponents using the Knicks as a cash machine for victory, and they're used to their players not being angry and watching their opponents walk away with arrogance.
And now, finally a player has stood up and criticized this disrespectful behavior, and told him with practical actions what is respect.
Although the chic words were a little full, although they stood at a high height and educated James.
But, at least for New Yorkers, they're cool.
They have been left out in the cold for too long, and now they finally have a high-spirited master, and they can finally follow the eyebrows again!!
Xiao Xiao didn't expect his words to bring so much pride and pride to the New Yorkers below.
In his opinion, this remark is just a life advice, LeBron James takes the Knicks too seriously, and now this qiē is just a repayment for him.
Because the applause was so intense, the mood of the New Yorkers was so excited.
A few reporters from Cleveland from afar stopped talking, they didn't want to be beaten up in New York.
At this time, it is the most serious thing to keep your mouth shut obediently.
The press conference ended quickly, but the impact of the game was just beginning.
From a management perspective, the victory in this game has strengthened the confidence of James Dolan and Donny Walsh again, Xiao Slack is indeed the chosen-one they dream of, they firmly believe that Scorch is a God-given gem for them, and as long as they continue to build the team around Scare, then the future must be bright, at least not like now, becoming the bottom of the league.
For the fans in New York, it was even more joyful, the chic strong play and the Knicks' counterattack victory gave them a shot in the arm, making them realize that the nightmare is finally over, and the dream has come with brisk steps.
And once again, the chic high scoring has caused some volatility in the league, because it has been really, really really not produced a strong shooting guard in many years. Over the years, it has basically been point guards and small forwards singing, and even the big forwards have formed some scales, but the position of the scoring guard has not been a newcomer, who were ten years ago, and who are still now. In fact, before the slump, there was only one Dwyane Wade who came out of the picture.
And now, the chic birth has given many people room for imagination.
Although the slick technique is still a bit ungraceful in many aspects of skill, the scoring method is not so conventional. However, efficiency and simplicity have become his label. The most important thing is that he can win, and he hasn't lost much of a crucial game, and vaguely, with ESPN's alternative push, he has a bit of a winning player's posture.
In addition to the positive news, there is also less positive news.
That is, the remarks of the Cavaliers and LeBron James, fueled by some media with ulterior motives, soon formed a wave of public opinion. The focus of this wave of public opinion is that Xiao Xiao is not respectful enough, he is too young and frivolous, and he doesn't know that the sky is high and thick when he just wins a game. Dare to evaluate the Cavaliers, dare to evaluate LeBron James, and don't look at who they are, and don't look at what kind of team the Knicks are.
Such comments are undoubtedly aimed at chic, and the focus of the comments is that chic is not qualified.
The more public opinion burns, the more enthusiastic it becomes.
Xiao Dash ignored it and silently continued to defend the victory at home, defeating the visiting Memphis Grizzlies.
Then, I started to get ready to go to the All-Star Game.
While preparing in a hurry, someone on the All-Star Game side had already commented on the matter.
This person was none other than Popovich.
Popovich took the initiative to talk about this matter in an interview: "The recent remarks about Xiao Shi have caused a lot of news and public opinion, and when I read the news, I generally think that Xiao Xiao is not qualified to comment on LeBron James and the Cavaliers, because Xiao is just a rookie, and the Knicks are still at the bottom level." But... I have to regret telling everyone that what that rookie said is true. The Cavaliers do have zài holes, and they're even bigger this year than they were last year, and I don't think they're even going to make it to the Eastern Conference Finals this year. As for LeBron, Xiao is not wrong, LeBron does lack the murderous spirit he should have at some critical moments. ”
"I know I'm a bit presumptuous to say these things all of a sudden."
"I just think you should be nice to that kid."
'He's a really good player and he's going to be a great player in the future.'
"Thank you!"
Popovich finished every word very seriously and then ended the interview.
No one knew why he said that all of a sudden.
Because reporters don't know how much Popovich is working behind the scenes to get a squeak. But he has never been able to get his wish, but he still admires chic so much!! (To be continued......)
