Chapter 236: Mr. Fly
Charles Barkley's voice is clearly not getting the attention of the public, because his views are contrary to the mainstream view. At least, contrary to what American basketball fans think, in the hearts of North American fans, Xiao Dash has become an arrogant rookie who does not know how to be thick.
They don't like chic.
And this is clearly with tinted glasses.
It may be because of the chic complexion, it may be because the chic is too ostentatious, or it may be because the strength of the chic appearance makes them feel uncomfortable. But in the final analysis, the most important reason is that chic is the best sexual fantasy object for women in the United States.
As an Asian American, Xiao Xiao was able to leap forward, shine, and defeat the self-righteous North Americans in charm, which made them feel shame and fear in their hearts, so they hated Xiao very much.
If there is hate, there must be liking, and things are two-sided.
No matter how much male fans in North America hate Chic, North American women who want to sleep with Chick are still cheering, and they can still line up in a long line.
In fact, this world is like this, no matter how noisy public opinion is, the people who love you will still stand behind you.
Xiao Sa's popularity in East Asia has not declined in the slightest because of public opinion in North America, but because Xiao Sa has been criticized in the United States, he has become more firmly supportive, and his signature shoes are selling crazy in East Asia.
Xiao Xiao is a strong-willed person, and his English level is not enough to support him to read English news, in fact, he does not pay much attention to these things, and even less like the Internet.
He's now focused on how to make his technology more comprehensive. So. He spends a lot of time looking at various technical highlights. Then go to sleep.
No one knows better than Xiao what his own strengths are, and his strengths are dreams. Of course, the bigger advantage is having a relationship with a girl. It's just that the price of the latter is too great, he is a responsible man, and he can't convince himself in his heart to enter the marriage hall with multiple women.
As the saying goes, you can't practice fake tricks just by looking.
But Xiao Xiao is not a fake, he concentrates on watching the video, and he will still start training in his dreams at night. It's just that the effect of training is not as good as after a day of muscle training, after all, real people will produce muscle memory after a day of practice. This kind of memory is brought into the dream to produce more indirect and effective stimuli, so that the training effect is increased by leaps and bounds.
However, he is now in the hotel, where did he come from to train?
Fortunately, you can go back to New York after playing the All-Star Match.
It's just that the All-Star Game no longer has the basis for good memories for Xiao Sa. There was too much turmoil during the All-Star break, and Xiao Slack was ready to be isolated.
Therefore, he did not train in advance like the royal game, but went to the locker room with his watch and then changed his clothes on his own. Then let the staff of Adidas give himself a full body physiotherapy, and then go to the stadium to do some warm-up training.
Sure enough, it was as Xiao Shi expected. Hardly any of his teammates greeted him, and even when he saw Xiao Shao coming, they would stop their voices, look at Xiao Xiao with hostility, and then mumble some unpleasant words.
It didn't matter if he was chic, he didn't care about that.
He simply sat on the side and crossed Erlang's legs to think about his own business. He doesn't want to have a good relationship with everyone. So even if he knew that there was a misunderstanding in the middle, he wouldn't explain it.
Xiao Sa sat to the side and said nothing, but Doug Rivers, the head coach of the Eastern Army, sat next to Sage and said with a smile: "Man, how does it feel to be isolated?" ”
“NO-bad。” Xiao Xiao nodded, and said in a relaxed tone, without a trace of pantothenic acidity.
"I knew you would say that." Doug Rivers continued to laugh and said in the tone of an elder: "I know that you are a genius, not only in terms of amazing talent, but also in a very high overall level. But... Sometimes humility is better for growth than pride. The sky is your limit, but now your hubris will make you cut off your wings, you know what I mean? ”
As soon as Doug Rivers came up, he bitterly gave Xiao a bowl of chicken soup for the soul.
Xiao is very grateful for Doug Rivers' concern, after all, they were rivals before.
However, Doug Rivers' chicken soup really can't comfort Xiao Shao's heart, or Xiao Xiao really can't accept this kind of bitter heart.
Therefore, Xiao Sa just said very politely: "If I need to rely on other people's pursuit to gain strength, then I am too vulnerable." If my growth is caused by the slander and criticism of others, it only proves that the sky does not belong to me. I am who I am, and I don't live in anyone's mouth. ”
The chic tone was soft, but the words were resolute.
"You know, along the way, I've been subjected to vilation, abuse, criticism and isolation. However, I'm still doing well and have slapped a lot of people. He spoke in a chic and calm voice.
Doug Rivers listened attentively, and finally nodded.
At this moment, he no longer regarded Xiao Sa as an arrogant rookie who didn't know the height of the sky and only knew the pursuit of exposure, because he carefully looked back and looked at it, as Xiao Sa said, he has always been questioned. At the beginning, some people even said that he couldn't even get playing time, but he took the Clippers wildly, and his scoring repeatedly broke new highs.
If he were a normal American player, he would have been praised to the sky long ago, and would even be called Michael Jordan's successor. After all, he's the only shooting guard who's been so excited in the last decade, and he's been starting to blossom since his rookie season.
"Maybe you're right. But it is much better for you to reduce your rhetoric in front of the media. Doug Rivers admonishes from the bottom of his heart: "The media is a bad thing, any media is biased, and they are for-profit, so don't expect them to be fair and impartial." ”
"Alas!!" Xiao sighed helplessly.
In the past, he had the best relationship with the media, and he tried to make it a cross talk conference at every press conference. But this all-star trip is completely ruined. The first is that the ambiguous words are hyped by them as a provocation to LeBron James. Ignore the seniors. In an instant, the city was full of storms.
It wasn't a big deal.
But then that Westbrook guy actually said such a brainless statement. This is an old friend. I had to carry it for him, so I said some words that were not suitable for public speaking, and these words were the source of this uproar.
Although Xiao Xiao doesn't care much about the evaluation of the outside world, these things will still be labeled as arrogant on his head. Once this label is attached, it is not easy to tear it off.
However, arrogance is not necessarily a bad thing. It depends on how Xiao Shi develops next, if he can soar into the sky, then his arrogance will become a sharp sword. And if he can't. On the contrary, he will sink because of this, and his arrogance will become a laughing stock of the public. This is how things are in the world, success and defeat have been like this since ancient times.
Seeing Xiao sighing and thoughtful, Doug Rivers said no more. After a while, he continued: "I love working with smart players and hopefully we can work together in the future. ”
"There will be a chance. I also appreciate how you build the team's defensive system, and you are a coach who can win. "Dash gave Doug Rivers a high rating, because he has a very good memory of the Celtics' defensive system.
Doug Rivers raised an eyebrow: "That's a high rating. ”
"You also give me a high rating." Xiao Xiao also raised an eyebrow. The expression is pleasant.
The chat between them was also pleasant, and Doug Rivers didn't feel the slightest bit of hubris in the process. On the contrary, he felt chic, very calm, and humorous. Thinking of the chic sigh before, he suddenly felt that maybe there was something else behind the qiē that happened now.
It's just that there is no point in pursuing these things now, because everything has already been a foregone conclusion.
After a few warm-ups, the players are back in the dressing room, and there will be a grand ceremony to follow, and the staff on site are already preparing for it.
The players returned to the dressing room, sitting quietly in front of his cupboard, playing with his phone.
The players around him didn't mean to say hello to him, and James was playing treasure over there, causing everyone to laugh, which was in stark contrast to the low pressure on Chic's side.
In fact, as soon as you enter the locker room, you can clearly feel that Xiao is ostracized.
After a while, Xiao Shi, who was looking down to play with his phone, was patted, he raised his head, and a familiar person came into view.
Iverson?
It's strange because he remembers Iverson as a Nuggets player, and he's wearing an Eastern Conference All-Star training jacket.
"Man, what are you doing?" Iverson sat down next to Xiao Shi, and Xiao Xiao looked at the cabinet next to him, and Iverson's name was pasted on the cabinet next door.
"Just now the agent sent me an advertising quotation and let me take a look." Xiao said with a smile.
Iverson was a little curious, poked his head out, and exclaimed, "Lamborghini!! They actually want to ask you to endorse?? ”
Iverson's voice was not small at all, so he quickly quieted down the All-Stars who were still laughing.
The whole locker room was quiet.
Xiao Shi raised his head and looked at the quiet all-stars around him, and at this time, these all-stars were also looking at him.
Their eyes were very surprised, they didn't expect Lamborghini to actually extend an invitation to Chic.
And Xiao Shi obviously didn't understand these strange reasons, he just said to Iverson next to him flatly: "Is this strange? Last month, Ferrari offered me an invitation, but they wouldn't allow me to endorse any other car products, including cars, so my agent vetoed it! ”
"Oh! Oh, God! Iverson patted his head: "You have to know that my favorite sports car is a Ferrari, I didn't expect you to refuse it!" ”
Iverson's movements were exaggerated, which made Xiao Xiao not know how to answer.
At the same time, there was silence in the locker room, and although they no longer looked this way, their ears were pricked up, and for them, Lamborghini was also a very high-end brand.
At this time, Iverson shouted in even more surprise: "They actually give you five million euros a year for endorsement fees?" And give you a free limited-edition sports car? My God!! Why is that? ”
Iverson's exclamation made a few more stout gasps noticeable in the quiet locker room.
They originally thought that the endorsement of this high-end brand was nothing more than a gift of a car, after all, this high-end brand is also a blessing to the player's own image. Many people are even willing to pay backwards to tie up with such high-end brands. But now, Lamborghini has given this damn rookie an offer that will make everyone's mouthwater! This is something they could never have dreamed of.
"Maybe it's for the sake of sales in East Asia." Shrugging his shoulders, he was very straightforward: "You have to know that China is now becoming the largest luxury market in the world, and I happen to be a Chinese with appealing power!" ”
The chic frankness and honesty surprised Iverson.
And at this time, a very unfriendly voice came to mind in the locker room: "Who knows if this thing is real or fake?" Maybe it's some vanity guy who deliberately came up with fake information to attract attention. After all, no one is paying attention to him here now, he is very anxious, he really wants to attract attention!! ”
Xiao glanced away, and the person who said cool things was Mo Williams, a dog of LeBron James.
"Huh." In the face of this unfriendliness, Xiao smiled disdainfully, and then said indifferently and sarcastically: "There is a saying on our side that we always get a tuba in front of a fly, do you know why? ”
The dashing question made everyone in the locker room wonder, they didn't know what this matter had to do with the tuba.
And Iverson was also like a compliment in cross talk, he looked up and asked, "Why?" ”
"Because the flies will think you're showing off your wealth!" Xiao said with a smile.
As soon as these words came out, the locker room was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized...... It turned out that he was scolding Mo Williams for being a fly that eats.
After everyone suddenly realized, everyone had the urge to laugh. But each one held back, or only showed some breath, and only Iverson laughed.
Such a situation is very embarrassing for Mo Williams.
He tried to fight back, but Xiao Shi had already made up for him: "I can understand your humility of never receiving a million-dollar endorsement, and I can understand the jealousy that burns in your heart." However, your ignorance makes me very uncomfortable, because you offended me, but also Lamborghini. I wasn't going to sign this contract. But because of you, I don't think I turned down the contract. Lamborghini should thank you, I will remind them at our signing conference, and I hope you will receive a thank you letter from Lamborghini in the next two or three weeks! Mr. Fly!! ”
