"Kobe Bryant retired from injury, Spurs advanced to the second round"

"Cole's heavy injury, the Lakers were eliminated"

"Kobe Bryant exits the game with an Achilles tendon injury, and the injury is serious and threatens to undergo major surgery"

The game between the Spurs and Lakers ended, and headlines like this immediately dominated the headlines of major sports media. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Under normal circumstances, the Spurs eliminated the Lakers to advance should be the focus of news attention after this game, but because of Kobe Bryant's injury, the Spurs' promotion seems to have been ignored, whether it is the media or fans, there is only one thing to focus on at this time, that is, Kobe's injury.

As the player who was with him when Kobe Bryant was injured, Li Yang was really pushed to the forefront as Popovich thought before.

After some radical fans knew that Kobe Bryant was injured, especially when he was injured when breaking through Li Yang's defense, they preconceived that Kobe's injury would definitely be related to Li Yang, and began to abuse on the Internet.

"That damn guy, if he hadn't injured Kobe, the Lakers wouldn't have lost the game. ”

"At the time of Kobe's breakaway, the Spurs player had a forward movement, and it was his foul that caused Kobe to fall and injure. ”

"If Kobe Bryant's injury has nothing to do with Li Yang, this is absolutely impossible, if he doesn't foul, will he be fouled by the referee?"

During the game, Li Yang was whistled for a foul, although this was actually just a misjudgment, because the referee didn't know that Kobe Bryant fell to the ground because of an injury, but now this group of people is clinging to this.

Especially after the announcement of the results of Kobe's Achilles tendon rupture, such voices have become more and more loud.

And some media websites have also begun to publish news like "Kobe Bryant will undergo surgery for Achilles tendon rupture, suspected of being injured against Spurs players" to attract attention.

Li Yang got up early in the morning and received a call from Bill Duffy, and when he looked on the Internet, he was speechless for a while, this TM was completely talking nonsense with his eyes open.

Thinking that he was interviewed by the "Los Angeles Times" yesterday, Li Yang immediately opened the website and looked at it, wanting to see if this kind of voice was spread from there, which made Li Yang a little surprised.

Regarding Kobe Bryant's injury, there are two reports on the Los Angeles Times' official website, one was shortly after the game ended last night, and the content wrote that Kobe Bryant was injured in the game and the Lakers lost.

The other story has just been released, with an eye-catching headline: "Who is the culprit of Kobe's injury?" by John Cruise.

Seeing this, Li Yang's eyebrows moved slightly, the name on the reporter's interview card who interviewed him yesterday was John Cruise, but when he read it, the content made him a little surprised.

"Before looking for the cause of Kobe's injury, let's take a look at Bryant's playing time in April, playing 47 minutes against the Kings on April 1, 47 minutes against the Mavericks on April 3, and 43 minutes against the Grizzlies on April 6...... 48 minutes against the Spurs on April 26, 47 minutes against the Spurs on April 28, and 40 minutes against the Spurs, Bryant rested for 2 minutes before his injury. ”

In the report, the Los Angeles Times listed Kobe's playing time at the end of the season and in the playoffs, and in the last few games of the regular season, Kobe Bryant's playing time was almost always more than forty minutes, and even more so in the playoffs, and for several consecutive games, Kobe Bryant hardly rested.

"All season, the Lakers were terrible, the tactics were messy, the defense, sorry, do we have that stuff? That led to the Lakers having to fight for a playoff ticket at the end of the season, yes, the team made the playoffs with eight wins in the final ten games of the regular season, but at the cost of Kobe's severe overdraft......"

Li Yang took a cursory look at the report and found that John Cruise actually followed the last words he said in the interview yesterday.

Obviously, the local media in Los Angeles need to find someone to blame for the poor performance of the Lakers this season, but they also know that this pot is not suitable for Li Yang's back, the Lakers have struggled to face the Spurs in the previous games, and in the regular season, the Lakers' performance was not satisfactory. Even fools know that such a pot cannot be carried by a player from another team, so they point the finger more at the team.

And as one of the largest news outlets in the United States, the Los Angeles Times didn't need some messy news to attract attention, so this story was born.

After seeing this report, Li Yang immediately realized that this might be a turning point, and immediately dialed Bill Duffy's phone.

"Yang, even if the Los Angeles Times doesn't publish this report, I will do this, of course, this report of the Los Angeles Times is very timely, and the rest will be left to me. ”

After Li Yang and Bill Duffy spoke on the phone, another part of the media began to send out reports.

"Kobe Bryant's injury due to a serious overdraft, who is the real culprit behind the scenes?"

"Tactical failures and poor records are the main reason for Kobe's injury"

As a well-known agent in the league, Bill Duffy not only has very good connections among the league's teams, but also has a very good relationship with media reporters.

With some previous reports from some local media in Los Angeles, Bill Duffy immediately used his relationship to point out through different angles in many media outlets that Kobe Bryant's excessive playing time at the end of the regular season and in the playoffs was the main reason for his eventual injury.

and then began to analyze the reasons for the Lakers' failure this season on the Internet, such as D'Antoni's tactics, such as bad chemistry, Howard, Gasol and others were unhappy, and so on.

These reports don't have much exaggeration, and they are not much different from the content reported by local media in Los Angeles before, but Bill Duffy made these voices through different media, and re-excavated the problems within the Lakers before, plus Kobe's injury is easy to expand such problems, and it will also expand the influence.

In these reports released by Bill Duffy through the network, there is a common denominator that Li Yang is not mentioned at all, and he does not refute those media who give Li Yang the black pot, nor does he deliberately leave out that Kobe's injury has nothing to do with Li Yang.

What Bill Duffy did was to release reports through the media to guide public opinion not to link Li Yang and Kobe Bryant's injury.

This effect is very good, when many media began to analyze how the Lakers' internal reasons led to the poor record this season, and then Kobe Bryant became paranoid and played a lot of games despite the dissuasion of his coaches and teammates, which eventually led to injuries, the attention of fans began to slowly turn.

At this time, many fans who supported Li Yang also began to make their voices heard on the Internet.

"Li Yang's defense is very clean, he doesn't have any superfluous movements, even if there is physical contact, it is normal physical contact, and there are no malicious foul actions, and it is not fair to put the cause of Kobe's injury on Li Yang. ”

"Look at Kobe's playing time, even if it is not Li Yang's defense, it is only a matter of time before he gets injured. ”

"Li Yang caused Kobe Bryant's injury? Kobe Bryant said thank you to Li Yang who supported him after making a free throw, if it was Li Yang who caused Kobe Bryant's injury, would Kobe Bryant's character probably say thank you?"

Some of these rebuttal fans are Spurs fans, some are sane American Lakers fans, and a significant number are Chinese Lakers fans.

There are a huge number of Lakers fans in China, and there are many people who watch this game, and many people have seen what happened on the court at that time, and Li Yang's Chinese identity is more acceptable to them, so they will not have preconceived notions.

Among the rebuttals of these fans, another very convincing piece is that Kobe Bryant was unsteady on his feet after the free throw, and Li Yang went to help him as soon as possible.

Under the recording of the camera, people can clearly see that after Kobe Bryant was supported by Li Yang, he said "thank you" in his mouth, and those who supported Li Yang retorted that if it was because of Li Yang that Kobe Bryant was injured, even if Li Yang released goodwill at this time, Kobe would not have been so polite to Li Yang.

The voice of this part of the fans was quickly recognized by other fans, coupled with the analysis of many previous media reports, under the dual effect, this irrational voice on the Internet was finally suppressed.
