NBA: Art is trash talk

Chapter 168 Battle of the Focus
After the game, those live broadcast commentators began to take stock of the game data.

孙正平说道：“火箭这边大姚18投12中，罚球7中6拿了30分12篮板，这种效率已经非常高了。球队输球，真不能怪大姚。”

"McGrady made 23 of 8 shots, and his shooting percentage was 34.7%, which is really too low. Including three-pointers and free throws, the total is only 26 points, and one shot can only get 1 point."

"Except for the two of them, and Wesley scored in double figures, the others are in single digits."

The meaning of Sun Zhengping's words is already obvious. The Rockets lost, but Yao Ming did not lose. The Rockets' players did not give Yao Ming enough support.

Of course, this is also true.

Subsequently, Zhang Lili began to report the data of the Clippers players.

"For the Clippers, all five starters scored in double figures. Among them, Ah Xing made 20 of 10 shots, 9 of 4 three-pointers, and 4 of 3 free throws. He scored a total of 27 points. He played very reasonably and efficiently. Very high value."

"Others, Gasol had 20 points, Mobley had 19 points, Kaman had 15 points, and Cassel had 10 points. Just five of them have already scored 5 points. This starting lineup is too scary."

After reporting the data, the two will analyze the game again.

Under normal circumstances, it is Sun Zhengping who asks questions and Zhang Lili answers.

"Director Zhang, the salary of the Rockets' lineup is as high as 6900 million US dollars, while the Clippers' salary is only 4900 million. It seems that the Rockets' lineup is stronger. Why can't they beat the Clippers?"

Sun Zhengping's doubts are also the thoughts of many fake fans.

In their view, the team that spends more money should be stronger.

Zhang Lili smiled and said: "A Xing is worth a McGrady. A Xing's salary this year is only 70, and McGrady's salary is 1570 million, which is 1500 million more. In addition, the Rockets have retired. Witherspoon, taking up $635 million in cap space."

If the Clippers hadn't picked up a super giant for nothing, the salary space would not be so healthy.

Zhang Lili is still continuing to popularize science: "Besides, Yao's salary will start to skyrocket next year, and it will be difficult for the Rockets to make more reinforcements. On the other hand, the Clippers will have no problem bringing in another superstar to form the Big Three. Maybe, Ah Xing can compare Dayao won the championship first."

Los Angeles, USA.

At the press conference, the Rockets were tortured first.

"Jeff, you lost another crucial game, do you still have the confidence to make it to the playoffs?"

The reporter first pointed the finger at Van Gundy. After all, the media reporters had been complaining about his tactics before, but Van Gundy did not change his own way.

This made the high-ranking reporter unbearable, and took the opportunity to ridicule.

"We will keep working hard and never give up."

Van Gundy avoided talking about it.

Except for a cheater and some idiots, no one would casually make promises or speak harshly, let alone confront reporters.

"Don't you think there is something wrong with your tactics? When you fell behind in the last quarter, you still insisted on playing positional warfare."

"Come on, the Clippers are not a weak team. They have what they have, Gasol, and a group of good players. It's not that we can beat them if we change our tactics. Our tactics are fine, we just You need to reduce your turnovers and improve your shooting percentage."

Van Gundy retorted slightly.

In this case, the reporter can actually say, "You mean your players are not good enough" to embarrass Van Gundy.

Fortunately, the time of a press conference is limited, and the reporters still have to ask the star some questions, so he was temporarily let go.

The reporter aimed at McGrady: "Tracey, are you satisfied with your performance today?"

"Not satisfied."

McGrady said helplessly, after losing the game, ordinary players only have this answer.

"Are you affected by He's trash talk during the game?"

The reporter continued to ask.

"No, I just feel bad today, I don't feel like this every night."

The boring press conference, the audience can't wait for these people to end and get out of here. They want to see the confrontation between He Xinghui and the reporter.

It didn't take long for the Rockets players to exit and the Clippers players to enter.

TNT's ratings directly soared by one percentage point. Before the Rockets players were interviewed, the audience temporarily tuned to other channels.

It was estimated that it was time for He Xinghui to play, so they were transferred back.

A super popular superstar has such a terrifying influence.

Just a little gossip from He Xinghui was enough to make them interested.

"He, you raised your middle finger at your teammates after the game. Did you think they didn't perform well enough, or did you have any conflicts between you?"

The first question was asked by a reporter impatiently.

The scene after the game broke their excitement.

If news of discord in the Clippers locker room is found, then He Xinghui, the ball bully, cancer, and lone wolf, will never be able to take off the title.

"Er Chris, please answer this question."

He Xinghui didn't want to pay attention to that silly reporter.

The final quarter relied on the score of Mobley and Kaman's overtake. How could I think that their performance was not good?And facing the middle finger, Mobley and Kaman smiled like idiots. Does this seem to be contradictory?
He Xinghui had to sigh with emotion that the IQ of this year's reporters was worrying.

The honest man Kaman truthfully explained the whole story, showing that it was a kind of humor between He Xinghui and his teammates.

The reporters were a little embarrassed when they heard the words, but they also caught one point, that is, He Xinghui asked his teammates not to win too much during the game.

"He, wouldn't it be too selfish for you to ask your teammates not to win so much for your own lore chance? If the team loses the game because of this, isn't it too irresponsible to the team?"

a reporter asked.

"Because my teammates are smart enough, I will ask them like this. If they are as stupid as you, I will definitely change the way of encouraging teammates."

He Xinghui mocked directly.

Anyone with a normal IQ knows that that sentence was just a joke. Mobley, Kaman and others didn't take it seriously. They beat up the Rockets hard, but this reporter took it seriously.

This reporter is either stupid or bad, there is no third possibility.

"."

Being ridiculed by a player for being stupid, the reporter almost went berserk.

However, he hesitated for a while, and finally chose to swallow his anger.

"Hey, you guys are going to play against the Lakers again the day after tomorrow. Are you confident that you can beat Kobe again?"

The Clippers won this game, so there is nothing to ask. The reporter simply asked about the next game, trying to get He Xinghui to continue to set the flag.

"No."

He Xinghui said.

His answer made everyone stunned for a moment. It seemed that this was the first time He Xinghui had given in. Why?

"why?"

A reporter rushed ahead of the crowd and asked them what they wanted.

"Isn't that what you said? Our Clippers are a pseudo-strong team. How can I have confidence when I meet a really strong team like the Lakers. I'm already scared and thinking about whether to find an excuse to ask for leave to avoid the game that day."

After He Xinghui finished speaking, everyone knew that they had been tricked again.

Reluctantly, the reporter shifted direction again: "Hey, the Clippers still have plenty of salary space, and they can even introduce another star. If the Clippers trade, which star do you want to join forces with?"

With these words, he almost asked He Xinghui which teammate he was dissatisfied with.

"Kobe, after all, our team's substitute firepower is not enough, we need to strengthen it, Kobe is not bad."

He Xinghui gave a nonsense answer again and changed the subject.

Everyone knows that he and Kobe don't deal with each other, and it is impossible to join forces.Moreover, it is impossible for Kobe to come off the bench.

This is the second time that He Xinghui has expressed his hope that Kobe will be his substitute. Many reporters feel that this can be used as a meme for speculation.

Next day, sports news.

[He: I hope to join forces with Kobe. 】

[He Chao's teammate raised the middle finger, it turned out to be because the teammate performed so well. 】

[The Rockets lost to the Clippers, and the road to the playoffs became more and more bumpy. 】

Serious reports fell behind, and He Xinghui's joke made the front page instead.

This sentence is used as a title, which is very attractive to readers.

Of course, it is not known whether readers will scold the headline party after reading it.

At the same time, a reporter also asked Kobe what he thought about going to the Clippers as a substitute for He Xinghui.

"It's such a boring topic. I'm not interested in playing this kind of humorous little joke. I just want to win."

Bryant said.

[Mamba spirit VS happy life treasure. 】

[The battle for the main shooting guard in Los Angeles. 】

[Brand's first battle against the old master. 】

[Playoff preview. 】

The media began to hype the game crazily. After all, there are many topics in this game.

Originally a very ordinary game, after being hyped up by the media, it brought great psychological pressure to the Lakers players.

In an ordinary game, if you lose, you lose.

In this league, losing is as normal as eating and drinking.

However, once some high-profile games are lost, the scolding and ridicule suffered are uncountable.

In the training hall of the Lakers club, Kobe and other players are training hard.

Although Kobe didn't say that he must win the next game, others could feel this request from his eyes.

Everyone didn't dare to take a breath, they could only keep catching up with Kobe's training rhythm.

This atmosphere makes Brand very depressed. In fact, he misses the relaxed and cheerful atmosphere of the Clippers even more.

At the same time, he suddenly hated the feeling of attention.

In the Clippers, the firepower of the reporters was always pouring on He Xinghui, no one complained about whether he played well or not.

Now, every game has reporters staring at his performance, which puts him under great pressure.

I am afraid that if a game is not performed well, the media will be harsh.

On the other hand, the Clippers are also training, but all of them are very relaxed.

Kaman and the others really didn't have any pressure at all. Anyway, He Xinghui was the only one who was criticized after losing the game, and the reporters didn't even bother to criticize them.

No way, who made He Xinghui so mocked by the crowd and hated by the reporters.

Last time they performed poorly and lost to the Mavericks. As a result, the reporters turned a blind eye and directly caught He Xinghui, who had fairly good statistics, to complain that he was not as good as Nowitzki.

Kaman and the others relaxed, and He Xinghui also relaxed.

He was even in the mood to tease the little girl when Pardis brought them drinks.

"Padis, do you know what you are to me?"

He Xinghui took the Gatorade from Padis and asked.

"yo"

Cassel and others were booing aside, but Padis fled without shyness. She asked, "What is it?"

"You are my Gatorade."

He Xinghui said.

"What, am I a drink?"

Padis and the others were stunned when they heard the words. They couldn't imagine for a while what was so special about this Gatorade and what it had to do with Padis.

So, Pardis asked a question.

"In this way, I can hold you in the palm of my hand."

He Xinghui said.

"Shet."

Cassel called Niucha directly, which little girl could resist such love words.

"boring."

Padis dropped the drink and towel, turned around and ran away.

"It's a pity. American beauties are too conservative. If you say this to a beautiful woman in Spain, the other party will 100% sleep with you."

Gasol regretted.

Compared with the degree of openness, the United States and Spain are still incomparable.

You don't need to be surprised to see beautiful women with bare butts on the beach in Spain.

"Paul, you are so naive, do you think that Pardis has never slept in He's bed?"

Kaman said.

"Oh?"

Gasol.

"After training and training, I will know the gossip all day long."

He Xinghui threw away the empty bottle and began to practice stealing.

After the games against the Mavericks and the Rockets, He Xinghui raised his bounce and steals to the B level.

At this time, he only has C-level defense and finishing at the basket. After playing two to three games, the system can be upgraded.

Of course, this kind of improvement is only the numerical value. To really master it and use it as you like, you need to add some hard work.

For example, his ball control has been promoted to B level, but the actual ball control level is not even as good as Kassel.

This B-level means that his upper limit has reached the B-level. As long as he continues to practice, he can quickly rise to the B-level level.It's not like he got promoted to the B level and immediately had the B level ball handling ability.

He Xinghui has been practicing on ball control, which is a must for the core.

He Xinghui didn't want to miss the steal, otherwise it would be a pity for his long arms.

As long as he can practice steals well and add his long arms, he can develop a defense like death entanglement.

At that time, let's see who else dares to say that he has poor defense.

If you don't take a defense for a while, how dare you let Kobe be your substitute.

On the 24th, the much-anticipated Los Angeles Derby kicked off.

This game is the home game of the Lakers. The general manager of the Lakers did not raise the ticket price, and then bought the newspaper to make a comparison between the matter and the Clippers to earn a word of mouth.

I have to say that Kupchak's move is also quite high.

It is also a high-profile game, the Clippers took the opportunity to raise prices, but the Lakers still think about the interests of the fans.

Between the two, a judgment is made.

The competition between the Lakers and the Clippers is not only on the court, but also off the court.

The Lakers' approach was unanimously praised by the fans, but when they went to buy tickets, they discovered that the Lakers' operation was not as good as the Clippers.

Although the Lakers did not raise the price, the tickets are gone.

Those tickets were bought by the scalpers early on, after all, this is a sure-fire business.

In the end, fans bought overpriced tickets and wasted even more time.

The off-court contest between the Lakers and the Clippers this time can only be regarded as half a catty.

Deciding who will be the No. [-] brother in Los Angeles in the future still depends on his performance on the court.

In the evening, players are introduced.

The Clippers players played one after another, and the applause continued.

It wasn't until He Xinghui appeared that applause and shouts sounded together.

According to a rough estimate, at least half of the fans are applauding him.

This number is a bit too much, and the Clippers fans are far less than the Lakers fans.

The main reason is that there are some rational lake fans who also like He Xinghui when they like Kobe, which is actually not a conflict.

No one stipulates that you can only like one star.

When the Lakers players played and Odom appeared, the applause was already very warm.

For those die-hard lake fans, even small details such as the degree of welcome have to compete and win against the Clippers.

When Brand appeared on the court, the cheers were similar to those of Odom. After all, he just came to the Lakers not long ago. If he hadn't been strong and everyone had high expectations for him, his popularity would not be able to catch up with Odom in a short time.

In the end, Kobe played, and the score on the scene reached a new height.

After all, his background is still better than He Xinghui's.

Not to mention that He Xinghui's current strength is not as good as Kobe's. Even if He Xinghui's strength is stronger than Kobe's, some fans will continue to follow Kobe because of their feelings.

Popularity still needs some time to settle.

After the introduction of the players, the two sides are ready to warm up.

At this time, He Xinghui came to the Lakers wearing a pair of unlaced sneakers.

"Kobe, Kobe, look at my feet."

He Xinghui communicated in a friendly manner.

Kobe rolled his eyes and ignored him.

Just kidding, if you want him to tie He Xinghui's shoelaces, it would be better to kill him, absolutely impossible.

"There are gossips, there are gossips, Alderaan will quickly translate."

On TNT, Barkley saw He Xinghui walk into the Lakers half, and he was like a shark smelling blood.

Fortunately, because this is a high-profile game, they have Alderland on loan again.

"The angle is not very good, and the view is not very clear. He seems to be showing Kobe his shoes."

As expected of a professional, Alderaan only read the outline, and was stunned that the translation by him was almost inseparable.

Shoes, what the hell?

Barkley looked bewildered, the All-Star game had only been a few days past, and the bet between He Xinghui and Kobe hadn't spread yet.

"Damn it, Kobe, don't you want to play tricks?"

He Xinghui laughed and said, it feels good to be able to force Kobe to play tricks.

"He, don't come to provoke, you are not allowed to be presumptuous here."

A small backup for the Lakers, Brian Cook stepped up.

"Hurry up Kobe, there are so many people watching, otherwise, you can just admit that you want to cheat."

He Xinghui ignored Cook at all, which made Cook very embarrassed.

He found that when He Xinghui ignored him, he had nothing to do with He Xinghui.

At this moment, Cook understood a truth. When his portion is not enough, don't treat yourself as a dish, and don't participate in things that you are not qualified for.

Otherwise, it is easy to lose face.

"He, for my sake, take this as a joke."

Brand couldn't stand it anymore, and wanted to persuade him with the help of his previous relationship.

"Elton, it's none of your business. Besides, it's manly to bet."

He Xinghui continued to stimulate Kobe.

"I won't admit that bet, because you didn't promise to continue betting with me."

Kobe cheated.

Although it's embarrassing to play tricks, it's better than tying He Xinghui's shoelaces.

The scene was embarrassing for a while, at this time Odom squatted down, and while helping He Xinghui tie his shoelaces, he said: "He, the media is watching, don't make trouble anymore, I will give my share and Kobe's share Get it done together, and that's it, okay."

"Oh, that's the only way to go. Who made me so easy to talk to?"

He Xinghui got the advantage and continued to act good. In fact, he didn't want to force Kobe to fulfill the bet, that's unrealistic.

He came here purely to hurt Kobe first and anger him first.

Never expected that such a bachelor, Odom not only fulfilled the bet, but also helped Kobe.

When the matter developed to this situation, He Xinghui didn't need to make things difficult any longer, so he took advantage of the slope to get off the donkey.

On TNT, Alderaan translated the words of everyone on the field, allowing Barkley and the audience to eat a big melon.

They didn't expect that Kobe had a bet with He Xinghui, and it seemed that Kobe lost and wanted to tie He Xinghui's shoelaces.

This made Ke Mi extremely angry and depressed. What they were angry about was that He Xinghui was aggressive and didn't have the air of a man.

What is depressing is that my idol lost a bet and reneged.

Although He Xinghui's villainous appearance is annoying, but such things as betting on bad debts are not manly enough.

In short, this melon is so disgusting that Ke Mi feels uncomfortable anyway.

On the contrary, the star powder tastes delicious.

What aggressive, narrow-minded.

It is only right and proper to pay off debts, do what you say, and fulfill your gambling contract.

They didn't think there was anything wrong with He Xinghui's actions, but it was Kobe's face that disgusted them.

Don't gamble if you can't afford to lose, who can force him to gamble?

Moreover, He Xinghui won now.If Kobe had won, would he let He Xinghui go now?
Obviously, this is not possible.

In short, Star fans don't think there is anything wrong with He Xinghui's approach.

They saw that Kobe was unlucky and embarrassing, and they only felt happy in their hearts.

This scene also stunned the media, and I don't know how to evaluate it.

Fortunately, Odom resolved the embarrassment.

Otherwise, this embarrassment would not end well.

After the episode, the game officially began.

　I'm a bit out of shape today, and the writing of this chapter is a bit embarrassing. I regret that I made that bet, it's not very good.

　　Go to sleep and get enough energy to go through the next plot tomorrow.
