Chapter 212: I'm not dead

It is true that the NBA is a commercial league, but it has to be admitted that there is also loyalty and faithfulness in this commercial league, loyal players will be praised by all, and honest employers will be respected by fans from the bottom of their hearts.

However, the Clippers' behavior was undoubtedly despised, because it couldn't be described as crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, it was simply a bad character explosion, so they made such a stupid and short-sighted behavior.

This kind of behavior hurts everyone's perception of the Clippers, and no one will think that the Clippers have done the right thing.

After all, Xiao Xiao has been playing hard for the Clippers and desperately trying to win. In fact, he did as much as he could, and conversely, if he hadn't played after scoring 63 points, he wouldn't have had an injury at all.

But now it's the case that this player who has given his all for the Clippers, this potential rising star who has brought countless hopes to the Clippers...... Just because he was injured, and the injury was more severe, he was just given up and swept away in exchange for two trading rights and a sum of cash.

Such an act is untenable in front of any reason.

Due to the stupidity of the Clippers, the public opinion that had been targeting the sluggish has also taken a turn somewhat. Because, Xiao Sa's encounter is indeed too pitiful, and everyone will feel unworthy for him from the bottom of their hearts.

After all, Xiao Xiao really did a lot of credit for the Clippers, maybe he has a lot of negative press off the court, but at least in basketball, at least for the Clippers. He didn't have any passivity, and he brought endless hope and passion to the Clippers. But now. He was ruthlessly sold by the Clippers due to injury!!

"The Clippers obviously made the wrong decision, and I don't think even if it's a bad game, it's not going to be able to play anymore. The Clippers should all be serious about fulfilling their contracts and not throwing him to the Knicks like a hot potato to squeeze the last bit of value out of him. Charles Barkley, on his show, commented very, very disdainfully on the behavior of the Clippers' uniform crew.

"Chick may be a playboy, but we have to be fair to his appearance on the pitch, he deserves our respect. He's a phenomenal rookie, and I don't even think he's been as good as LeBron James' debut season so far, and even more exciting than he did last night, like last night. He cut sixty-six points! This is a professional scoring record that James has not scored so far. Reggie Miller, despite being in the media like ESPN, gave his fair assessment and criticized the Clippers.

"Shit! The Clippers' uniform crew is nothing short of shit. Popovich was furious in an interview, his anger was completely unpredictable, and it seemed to everyone that as the head coach of another team, he had no need to be angry. But in reality, he was angrier than ever, and no one had ever seen him so furious in front of the media.

"The owners of the Clippers and their general manager and all of their managers are idiots. Remember, mine uses all. They actually traded Xiao Shao, and it was when Xiao Xiao's injury was unknown. Bastard, what do they take Chick for? Cows that produce milk? Or wool-producing sheep? Chic is not a commodity. If they don't like it. They could have been handed over to the Spurs at the start of the season, and I sued them, except for Thiem. They can pick and choose. But now? They obviously can't use the chic well, they only know to pin all the winning pressure on this rookie. They used a qiē way to force Xiao Shao to quickly take on the responsibility that should not be borne by him. Finally, in this high-pressure state. Xiao was injured by their use. Then they shamelessly and quickly sold Xiao Shi out!! God, such a shameless person should not have a place called the City of Angels. I swear, I'm never going to make any trade with the Clippers in my life, unless their owners are replaced, unless their management is all replaced!! ”

Popovich was in front of the media and was extremely irritable with these aggressive words.

And his words also revealed a lot of information, that is, at the beginning of the season, when everyone questioned Xiao, Popovich actually put all the chips except Duncan, that is, in his mind, Xiaoxiao's status is even higher than that of the other two All-Stars Ginobili and Tony Allen.

Judging from the strength and potential of Xiao Sa, it has to be said that Popovich has vision. With his scarcity of momentum, he does have the potential to become a superstar.

Now, however, it seems to have come to an abrupt end.

It is not difficult to see from the words of the attending doctor that Xiao's injury is not light, and it may not even appear on the court.

In other words, it is very likely that the genius will fall.

So, that's probably why the Clippers can't wait to sell him!

Many people feel sorry, and at the same time, many sponsors feel sad. They feel that the money they have invested in Xiao Xiao seems to have been wasted, and if Xiao Xiao cannot continue to play, then all the investment will be in vain.

It's something they can't see.

But for New York fans, they didn't feel like it was a wrong deal.

Because they have seen how powerful Xiao Xiao is, although it is very likely that Xiao Xiao will not be able to play. However, the people of New York still have strong hopes for him, and in their opinion, as long as Xiao Xiao can exert one-third of his strength, it will be a big profit, after all, Xiao Xiao's salary is only a small amount. New York, with its deep pockets, doesn't care about such a small amount of money.

At the same time, Chinese basketball fans are extremely sad. For them, a dashing injury is no less than a bolt from the blue. Originally, Yao Ming's gradual fading was already a big blow, and they finally looked forward to the chic sideways, they thought it was dawn, but it turned out to be just a return to the light, and immediately fell into a darker night.

on this. Chinese fans turned all their grief into resentment against the Clippers, and almost everyone cursed the Clippers. are all abusing the Clippers.

In the face of overwhelming abuse and accusations, McDonleavy finally held a small press conference. His expression looked very relaxed and happy, and he did not have the slightest pressure because of the overwhelming scolding.

On the contrary, he was relieved that the scarcity that had been pressing on his head was finally gone. And judging from the preliminary injury judgment of Xiao Xian, this guy will never be able to counterattack again.

Therefore, when facing reporters, he seems to be particularly relaxed and happy.

"There's nothing I particularly want to comment on the deal that has been done. One more thing I want to announce is that I'm going back as head coach of the Clippers. ”

"Of course. I'll be bless and I'm thankful for the great memories he made for the Clippers, and I hope he gets better in the future." ”

McDonleavy speaks without being salty or light, with a sense of ease and ease.

After saying this, he didn't forget to insinuate a few words: "I hope that the New York team can properly handle the relationship with the coach and players, and stop fighting with teammates." Don't use your influence to push the manager away. You may have some special abilities on the pitch, but that's not something you're proud of. Shape up or ship out. ”

McDonleavy's insinuating remarks immediately sparked a new wave of public opinion.

After all, McDonleavy is almost making it clear that Xiao Xiao will not unite his teammates, even more disrespectful to the head coach, and even force the palace.

This is a very serious accusation. Yan zhòng affects the reputation of the player.

And just as public opinion was piling up, the Clippers players finally stood up. Chris Carman was the first to stand up and express his opinion: "I'm still in the shock of Shaw being traded, I can't believe that, I can't even imagine how bad this Clippers team would be without Shaw's leadership. I listened to Mike's words. I was the one who got into a fight with Xiao Shi, and I was beaten up by him. I don't have the slightest resentment, on the contrary, I think I deserve it. Chic did it right. ”

Then there was El Thorton: "I know what Mike is trying to say, and I have to be honest with you." Shaw is a very good team player and he's the kind of player who can make his teammates better. When it first started. I hated him a lot, and I thought he was going to take away my playing time and take away my counts. At one point, I had a heated argument with him, but I now have to admit that I was wrong. So, I followed him very convincingly, and that's why my numbers have been so good this season. I want to make it clear to everyone now that there is nothing wrong with our locker room and that we all respect the dashing leadership because without him we wouldn't have been able to finish eighth in the East and we would have stayed at a very bad record. ”

The two players' statements were undoubtedly two big slaps in the face to McDonleavy, which sharply refuted his criticism that Xiao Shaw would not unite his teammates.

Obviously, McDonleavy didn't expect the team members to stand up and sing against him when he spoke, after all, in his opinion, the next time is when he is dictatorial, aren't these guys afraid to put little shoes on them? ?

One thing McDonleavy is clearly wrong about is that these players' affection for Chi has gone beyond fear of the manager's authority, and Chick has earned their respect from the bottom of his heart. This is obviously not something Dunleavy can suppress by using authoritarianism! In fact, for the players, although the authority of the head coach is very important, but the salary is not paid by the head coach, just play your own ball, why say insincere words with a clear conscience?

And in fact, this is not the sharpest rebuttal to McDonleavy, the sharpest counterattack is the remarks of Byron Davis, who is recovering from injury.

"I thought McDonleavy was the stupidest head coach I've ever seen, but I didn't expect him to be the stupidest general manager at the same time. He was able to trade Xiao Squat so easily, idiots knew that this was something that should not be done, but he did it so easily. ”

"And in fact, I've never seen a manager who combines veteran players to suppress rookie rookies. If it weren't for the mistake in your tactics, why would Xiao have a problem with you? You can't defeat Xiao Shi tactically, so you unite with the old players against Xiao Xiao, and the old players are all convinced by Xiao Xiao. You can only leave the head coach's seat in a gloomy manner, and now you actually say that Xiao forced you away, obviously you want to force Xiao away but you didn't succeed but you can only flee by yourself. That's the truth, and every Clippers player can attest. ”

As soon as Byron Davis said this, it came out. It is tantamount to tearing the skin of the face, completely exposing McDonleavy's underwear.

This remark was undoubtedly shocking to McDonleavy's ridicule, and almost everyone who heard it was deeply shocked. They didn't expect McDonleavy to be this kind of head coach. If what Davis said was true, then Mike Dunleavy would definitely be on the list of stupidest head coaches, there is no one!

McDonleavy obviously didn't expect the counterattack to come so quickly, and public opinion finally attacked Xiao Po, but he was directly ruined by the remarks of his players.

What made him even more devastating was that another Davis, Ricky Davis, who was recovering from the injury, stood up and agreed with Byron Davis: "I swear that every word Byron is true, in fact, you can also interview other players, and I believe that the answers you can get from their mouths are the same." ”

Ricky Davis's remarks were undoubtedly the last punch that brought McDonleavy to ruin.

Outside public opinion instantly pushed McTDunleavy into an unprecedented slut image with the Clippers player's statement, and in fact in the minds of Clippers fans. McDonleavy has become a sinner for the ages.

In their minds, McDonleavy's image is no better than Qin Huan in the minds of the Chinese. For them, chicness is their pride. And now it is their own head coach and general manager who have buried this pride, which makes them angry.

Angry, they took to the streets to protest against McDonleavy and then launched a series of ticket refund actions.

All of a sudden, the Clippers' economic income plummeted. At the same time, the reputations of McDonleavy and Sterling are also rotten to the extreme in Los Angeles. In fact, all over the world, their reputation is also terrible.

Because no one can accept the way they treat chic in this way.

A meritorious man fought hard for the team, but he was immediately sold as soon as he was injured. There is no emotion, and there is no emotion. It's no wonder that such a bad act can gain a good reputation.

Raheem Sterling isn't a man who pays much attention to his reputation, but the fans' refund of the sponsor's divestment still makes his heart ache. For him, money is more important than anything. Right now. A large amount of money has left him, and it is no wonder that he is not heartbroken.

But. Even if it hurts, it's useless.

You can only live and suffer, you can't complain to Donald, right? In case he gets angry and angry, it's not good to let his bamboo basket fetch water empty.

Sterling is undoubtedly aggrieved.

McDonleavy was also unhappy.

In fact, no one was happy in this incident.

But chic is an exception!

Although he was sold, although he was abandoned, although the doctors also preliminarily judged that his injuries were very severe. Although some sponsors have already had the idea of buying out the contract.

But...... He's still happy.

Because after a night of passion with Teresa, he quickly fell into a dream.

In his dreams he ran like a cheetah, completely tireless. And in this kind of running, he keeps shooting, constantly shooting with high difficulty. At this fast pace, he has a fairly high hit rate in his dreams...... This made him ecstatic, and he practiced in his dream for nearly five hours before waking up.

When he woke up, it was already noon.

At this time, standing beside him were the president of Adidas, his agent Barbara, his official girlfriend Jennifer Lawrence, and a large group of staff, all of whom looked very sad, and it was obvious that their hearts and interests were touched by their sorrowful injuries.

Xiao Shi opened his eyes and subconsciously moved his ankles.

He found that it didn't hurt anymore, and although he still felt uncomfortable, he didn't have the heart-rending feeling he had before.

Darkly, he felt that he shouldn't have much of a problem this time.

So, he was optimistic.

Barbara was the first to notice that Xiao Sa had woken up, and when he saw Spark open his eyes, he immediately said happily: "Hey, Shy, you're awake, you're finally awake!" ”

Barbara's voice startled everyone, and almost everyone rushed to the scene.

Look at the teary-eyed Barbara and Jennifer Lawrence, and then look at the anxious sponsors next to them.

Xiao Sa smiled inexplicably, he felt that the picture in front of him was a little black humorous, so he relaxed and said, "Hey, what are you doing here?" How it felt like I was attending my funeral. ”

No one can laugh out loud about chic humor.

Barbara even complained: "At this time, how can you still laugh?" Don't you know that you've been in a coma for almost eighteen hours? ”

"Nope!" Xiao shrugged his shoulders: "I woke up at half past four in the morning and ate an apple." ”

"What ???"

Xiao Xiao's words surprised the entire ward.

"Is there anything strange about that?" Xiao Xiao laughed and said, "You don't think I'm going to do anything, do you?" It's okay, I'll just lie down for a few days. I remember when I was a child, I was scratched by a wild wolf, and my bones were exposed, so I just lay in bed for half a month. ”

As he spoke, Xiao Sao still stood up, and he was just about to lift the quilt to show everyone his wounds, but found that he was cold under him...... Teresa left without putting her pants on......

………… (To be continued......)
