Chapter 509 The Privileged Class
Chapter 509 Privileged Class
The Lakers beat the Spurs.
This may be one of the most painful games against the Lakers when the Spurs entered the Duncan era.
"It's very interesting, I remembered the Western Conference Finals in 2001."
The tyrannical Spurs reaction was very interesting.
Tim Duncan had no smile on his face, and his tone seemed to be telling something that had nothing to do with him.
The Western Conference Finals in 2001?
It doesn't sound very far away, but calculating the time, it was already seven years ago.
At that time, Jordan retired, but the three-year alliance pattern had undergone a complete change. The superstars in the 1980s entered the dusk period, and the golden generation of the Pan-96 and other stars who entered the league in the 1990s took over the alliance left by God.
That year, the Lakers' experience was dramatic. After ordinary dynasty teams experienced their first championship, in order to prove that they were not lucky, they would use all their strength to defend their championship.
But the Lakers are different. The reason why the Lakers can create a dynasty is entirely because they have both the peak sharks and the quasi-peak Kobe.
But Kobe is definitely not a person who has been underestimated for a long time, and Sharks will not easily give up their position as the boss. It just so happens that the two of them, one is strict with themselves and others, while the other is completely opposite.
One is cynical, the other is serious.
One is smiling, the other is cold as ice.
One is a good singer, and the other is a perfectionist who needs to prepare the lyrics in advance in order to get along with his teammates.
These two people are destined to have conflicts, and they have huge conflicts after winning the championship. Kobe hopes to get more, and the Sharks' practice of becoming lazy again after only one season makes him disliked.
So he began to become a selfish teammate.
He had his reasons and reasons, but his selfish offensive choices undoubtedly hurt the chemistry of the team and the state of others.
Otherwise, the Lakers would not have stumbled all the way to the final stage of the season. The turning point was in the later part of the season. Kobe was on the sidelines due to injury for a period of time, and the result was that at that time the Lakers started to kill.
Many people therefore regard Kobe as an instability factor within the Lakers.
As a result, after Kobe returned, he became himself back to his last season. The Lakers entered the playoffs at their best, and had no defeat in the three rounds of division games before the finals.
In the Western Conference Finals against the Spurs, it was a 4-0 round.
The Lakers suddenly repaid a revenge for being swept by the Spurs in the Western Conference Finals during the suspension season.
That round of series can be named after Kobe. He averaged 33.3 points, 7 rebounds, 7 assists in four games, and shot 51.4%. He averaged 6.5 free throws per game.
The game Tim Duncan mentioned was the third game in the Western Conference Finals.
That's a shameful game that the Spurs can count.
Only the old David Robinson in the Spurs performed normally, scoring 24 points, 12 rebounds and 4 blocks.
Duncan's efficiency is very ugly, with 3 of 14 shots and 9 points and 13 rebounds.
However, if you look at his data comprehensively, you will find something different, and Duncan did a lot of extra things to help the team.
In addition to 9 points and 13 rebounds, he also sent 7 assists, 4 steals and 4 blocks.
Unfortunately, the Spurs team has no double scores except Admiral and Antonio Daniels, but the Lakers' double cores inside and outside are in the peak state.
The Sharks made 6 of 23 shots and scored 35 points and 17 rebounds.
Kobe made 14 of 27 shots, also scored 36 points, 9 rebounds and 8 assists.
The two of them had a full range of performances that led to the Spurs.
The score of the game: 111 to 72.
Lost 39 points.
Duncan took the initiative to mention the game engraved on the shameful pillar of team history, which was not only a reminder to the media, but also a teammate: Don’t panic, sometimes it was worse than this game.
Popovich is not as cheerful as Duncan.
He was very angry, very angry.
The first person responsible for losing? Of course, Tony Parker!
When the reporter asked him how he evaluated Parker's performance, his answer was very iconic: "If you can trade now, I swear to you that he will be traded tonight, but the rules do not allow it, so I can only continue to use him!"
The Lakers' press conference is completely different from the Spurs.
Wei Xia’s data is not as conspicuous as Kobe.
19 points, 11 rebounds, 6 assists, 5 steals, 4 blocks.
Kobe scored 40 points, 8 rebounds, 10 assists.
At first glance, Kobe is very awesome, and if you want to know Wei Xia's awesomeness, you have to carefully look at his blocks and steals.
Wei Xia never plays for statistics.
In his eyes, data is just a embellishment of expression, and he has done many things that cannot be reflected by data. Therefore, if he is asked to evaluate himself, he will throw the data aside.
He became less and less fond of press conferences, and every second of his time in the visiting room was a torment. The team allowed him to find excuses to refuse to attend the press conference, which was allowed by the league, but he still came.
He found that stubbornly attending a press conference would not do him much.
It makes sense for the team to allow him to refuse to participate.
Every player wants to be recognized by others.
After Wei Xia played a game that could become a representative work of her career, several media outlets seriously raised questions related to the game?
The main ones that asked those questions were local media.
The Los Angeles Daily News, the Los Angeles Times, the Los Angeles Daily and the Los Angeles Tribune.
As local media, they will naturally not make too much trouble for Wei Xia.
But I can't stop the media from other places from hoping to go off topic.
A media asked: "Chai Na shut down the broadcast of the NBA game without saying hello. What do you think about this?"
Didn’t this reporter turn off topic without saying hello?
It can be seen that it is difficult for people to truly understand each other.
"Oh, I'm sorry." In this way, Wei Xia's answer has always been very simple.
Another reporter asked: "Wish, you have said that the Chai Na in your eyes is different from the media reports. I wonder if you can tell me what Chai Na in your eyes is like?"
This has nothing to do with the game. What exactly do these people want to do?
"I haven't been there, don't know."
"Since you haven't been there, why do you insist that Chai Na in reality is different from the media reports?"
Wei Xia said sarcastically: "For example, you shouldn't be able to dunk, but you've seen others dunk, you know what that's exactly like."
This is the NBA version of the company who has never eaten pork but has seen pig run.
Next, the evil problem of Sudan Darfur comes again.
The crazy media wants Weisha to comment on the **** incident that occurred in Sudan.
They also want Wei Xia to evaluate the human rights issues of Sultan and Chaina.
They also want Wei Xia to comment on Chai Na's selling weapons to the Sudan area, so I want to hear Wei Xia's view on this matter.
Wei Xia's anger became more and more intense, and he almost gritted his teeth behind him and said, "My team and I played a perfect victory, but you only care about things that are not by me, or even have nothing to do with me."
"It has nothing to do with you? Wish, the human rights oppression that happened in Africa and Chaina is also related to you and me..."
They began, wielding the stick of human rights and radiating the glory of universalism, they wanted to re-educate Wei Xia, a brainwashed fish that was not completely completely, on-site.
Suddenly, the Lakers' news PR interrupted the interview.
"Just all, everyone, wish's performed very well tonight. He was very tired. I'll ask if you have any questions next time."
The Lakers' news and public relations department responded quickly.
They just didn't expect Wei Xia's reaction and anger to burst out so suddenly.
Wei Xia stood up from his seat and said angrily: "No next time!!"
After saying that, there was a noise at the scene, and the reporters were sure that they had hit Wei Xia's weakness and wanted to take advantage of the victory.
But Wei Xia had already left her seat and entered the corridor under the protection of public relations.
He walked very quickly, and the reporters were intercepted in front of the door of the visiting room.
According to regulations, news and public relations can cut off interviews on their own. If players decide to leave the reporter and cannot break into the corridor, it is the space that belongs to the players. This does not mean that they cannot block players on the road. They can raid unprepared players in any corner of Watanabe on the street parking lot, but they cannot be in the player corridor.
Wei Xia returned to the locker room without saying a word.
Seeing his expression, teammates knew that he had another unpleasant press conference.
"It will pass soon, wish, media are all hot for a few minutes."
The comfort of Wei Xia did not make Wei Xia feel better.
He asked back, "How quickly is it? They have been like this since January, and it's almost June now. When is it the end?"
No one can give him an answer.
Kobe walked into the locker room after him and said to Wei Xia directly: "I know you are very unhappy, but the last sentence you said is too stupid. Even if it is your voice, you can't say it out loud! Now, every time you miss a press conference in the future, you will be regarded as escaping!"
Wei Xia rolled her eyes in anger: "Don't say it as if you hadn't guarded against reporters like you were thieves. You were much embarrassed than me back then. At least I was a disaster and you were humiliating yourself!"
"What did you say?!" Kobe was furious.
"It's not wise to quarrel at such times." The Zen master came in. "In my opinion, wish is not a bad thing to say so. He sincerely expressed his dislike for reporters. The alliance has allowed him to refuse interviews under certain circumstances. Whether to attend press conferences in the future depends on your wishes."
Kobe said sourly: "I really understand it, the privileged class is indeed everywhere!"
"Why don't we change it?" Wei Xia laughed.
