Chapter 680: This B is pretending to be beautiful
On the home side, Ji Guoyi and Lei. Allen and Billups attended the post-match press conference.
The eyes of the media are focused on Ji Guoyi, and the smugness on the face of the dead fox can be seen by blind people.
After Ji Guoyi sat down, he smiled and said: "The Nets' performance is very good, their triangle offense is very powerful, although I can't see what tactics they play, but everyone just needs to know that they are very powerful." Dead Fox's words were very bad, and then he said even more badly: "Actually, the outcome of this game is not too important to us, we are focused on the playoffs, it is the fourth championship, and we will not be satisfied with three consecutive championships." ”
The reporters scolded in their hearts: "This forced pretending to be beautiful can give 100 points." ”
Ji Guoqiu had already returned to the team's bus with his teammates at this time, ready to go directly to the airport to return to New York, with Bledsoe sitting next to him, who performed well today, and the panda wanted to teach this little rookie a good lesson on the way.
He knew that Bledsoe was doing so well that the media would surely tout Bledsoe tomorrow.
However, what kind of virtue the media is, the two brothers have long known that as long as Bledsoe does not perform well in any game, he will be kicked down from the clouds by the media immediately. Once this happens, will Bledsoe be able to face the setbacks with a good attitude?
Many players have had similar experiences, and when they entered the league, they were immediately praised by the media. The subsequent script has happened countless times, and the rookie is so good that it is bound to be targeted, and the result is that it hits the rookie wall. In the blink of an eye, it became a worthless meteor in the mouth of the media, and it has been in a state of collapse ever since.
A poor boy like Bledsoe, whose unbearable childhood experiences will make them successful after they have succeeded. It's easy to swell up under the control of the media, get carried away in the initial accolades, and lose yourself. And when they fail, they will stir up an inferiority complex in their hearts. Such a double heaven of ice and fire, it is easy for them to be played to death by the media, there are too many examples.
In the preseason game of the Nets, Bledsoe's little was the most unexpected discovery in the eyes of fans. He's just too aggressive, and his terrifying explosiveness and speed are among the most easily noticeable, and fans love violent players like Bledsoe.
Bledsoe's positivity and drive. It comes from his difficult childhood. Many black players from the bottom of the society in the United States have experienced unbearable hardships when they were children. Bledsoe, of course, is no exception.
Perhaps, the hardships you have heard about before. can be copied to Bledsoe's body. And what you can't imagine has happened to him.
Bledsoe's mother, Maureen. Redick was interviewed by a New York media outlet before the start of the regular season, and she cried tears as she recalled Bledsoe's childhood, feeling sorry for her son......
Many people can't imagine how poor Bledsoe's family is, even though there are many such things in China.
Maureen said: "The wooden sofa in the room at that time. It was dragged back from the scrap yard. Eric said he wanted to sleep on the couch and listen to the radio, but the family couldn't afford a couch at the time. I couldn't afford to buy even second-hand goods, so I asked my uncle to go to the scrapyard and drag one back. ”
You have to pay a certain amount of money to drag it from the scrap yard, Maureen has no money, and her brother has no money, so she thinks about it and finally encourages her brother to reach into the pockets of passers-by.
"I admit that in addition to this, I have done some wrong things, I don't know how to explain it, my starting point at that time was just to satisfy my son," to this day, when recalling these past events, Maureen is still somewhat difficult to speak, she knows that some of what she did back then was contrary to social morality, and even illegal.
But Maureen's distress at that time was completely understandable. At that time, Bledsoe was only six years old.
In fact, the wooden sofa did not accompany Bledsoe for long.
Maureen and Bledsoe lived in a small town in Birmingham, Alabama, which was almost a place where white people would never go, gathering a lot of poor low-level blacks, and from time to time there would be rumors in the town that "so-and-so died on the street", some were shot, some were gang members seeking revenge, and some were starved to death. Not even a single convenience store chain would dare to open a branch there, "because no one can guarantee the lives of the clerks, including the police, and you don't know how many weeks you can see them once," Maureen recalled.
Once, when a heavy rainstorm hit, Maureen took Bledsoe to live a wandering life -- the small brick house where she had lived before was washed away by the heavy rain.
Mother and son had no money to rent a house, and after spending a few months at a relative's house, Maureen gritted her teeth and simply left the town -- she went to work outside, hoping to earn some money and then come back to take her son out of the hellish town.
In the days when he left his mother, Bledsoe began to be ostracized by his relatives, and he had to be helped by relatives for food and drink, and after a long time, no one was willing to reach out. Bledsoe was not yet eight years old at the time, but he was exceptionally strong, and he couldn't stand the cross-eyebrows of his poor relatives, so he simply chose to run away from home.
A broken truck from a scrap metal processing plant in town has become Bledsoe's "home".
He collected waste cloth and plastic paper, set up a simple tent on the car body, and brought a waste quilt, and began to live like a beggar. Later, the broken truck was towed away, and Bledsoe had to find a "new nest"
Maureen recalled that, as far as she knew, Bledsoe had also lived in a stable, as well as a duty hut at a railroad ramp.
A poor kid like Bledsoe could hardly have any friends, and every day, Bledsoe was accompanied only by a basketball -- he regarded that basketball as precious as his life, "I can't imagine what he would have done every day if there was no basketball at that time." Maybe he'll go to the point of no return," Maureen continued.
She also said she wept bitterly when she later learned that the basketball was a gun that Bledsoe had given to the gang members in exchange for a few dollars......
The good thing is that it's all over. Bledsoe's life eventually changed dramatically because of basketball. Due to his outstanding skills, he went on to attend a local high school in Birmingham. He went on to enter Kentucky, a basketball school, and then from Kentucky to the NBA -- and finally in 2010, the Timberwolves selected him at No. 15 in the first round and traded him to the Los Angeles Clippers in exchange for Evan Brown. Turner, that's what Bledsoe's dazzling debut is today.
The Clippers had a thrilling victory over the Nets, and this day will not only be a Clippers vs Nets game, but the Miami Heat vs Cleveland Cavaliers game will be played in half an hour. The "defections" that made a lot of noise in the summer. This makes this game no less interesting than "Animal Wars".
Today it's LeBron. For the first time in his career, James began his career as the Heat, which was also a new start for the post-emperor knights from elite to grassroots. This scene was originally like you walking on your Yangguan Road, and I walking on my single-plank bridge. But it's much more than that.
Because, James was cursed by a local radio host in Cleveland to find a witch doctor.
The news comes from the Associated Press, where the local Cleveland showrunner allegedly paid a witch doctor to curse James. The purpose is to relieve the hatred of the Cavaliers being abandoned by LeBron this summer. He has the support of fans all over the city.
The Heat will come to Cleveland today to challenge the Cavaliers, and the curse is said to be deliberately scheduled for a few hours before the game, and the curse ceremony is also broadcast live on the radio.
The witch doctor is described spilling some bones and blood on James' jersey to curse the two-time MVP.
In the summer, James made his choice through ESPN's live broadcast, and since then he has been caught in the whirlpool of Cleveland's verbal criticism.
His jersey was burned in the street by fans, huge advertisements were ripped off, and he was scolded by the Cavaliers owner for being a coward, a traitor, and so on.
Many people have thought. James, who was on the cusp of the storm at that time, just had to be patient. Time will dilute everything. But it turned out that this period would be a long time, and at least three months would not be enough, because before he could step into the court, James was first viciously cursed.
The Emperor's defection and the demonstrative live television broadcast made the Cavaliers fans full of hostility towards him, and before the game began, some fans gathered in public to burn his jersey and billboards, and the local Cleveland Internet and print media also overwhelmed the spoof and accusations against James.
The city of Cleveland regarded James as an enemy at this time, and in an interview with the media, the person concerned was not to be outdone, and countered: "I know that the people there are full of hostility towards me and the atmosphere is very tense, but none of this will prevent me from stepping into Cleveland." ”
James' tough attitude has puzzled many, and after seven years in Cleveland, can he not have a little affection? How could he turn his face so quickly?
The little emperor has been reluctant to mention the real reason why he left the knight. However, in a recent interview with a magazine, James finally opened up and revealed why he had left the country - it turned out that he had always hated Cleveland, who was seen as the "emperor's" bedroom.
In a recent interview, James spoke for the first time about the city of Akron, where he grew up, and he said he understands why so many people in Cleveland are angry about his decision. As James himself recounts, he and his friends from Akron grew up not loving Cleveland and hated the city, 40 kilometers south of Akron.
"It doesn't seem that far away, but it's actually very far away." "Cleveland is a big city, so Cleveland people who grew up in big cities tend to look down on us," James said. I actually hated Cleveland as a kid, and I still hate some Cleveland people. ”
As for Akron, who he grew up in, James said he would stay here forever. "I'm going to spend a lot of vacation here, and this is my home, Akron, Ohio, and I'm going to be here forever, and I'm still going to go back to my old high school in the future."
At the same time, James also mentioned those passionate Cleveland fans, and he is still grateful for the kindness of those Cleveland fans who have been kind to him. But at the same time, he also said that he would not retract the remarks made at the end of last season that he had spoiled some fans.
'I love the fans here, but I would say because of what I do on or off the pitch, even my family. Will also be spoiled by these. "James also responded to the incident of some over-the-top Cleveland fans burning their Cavaliers' No. 23 jersey after switching to the Heat." I think the people who burned my jersey were probably never my fans. ”
Finally, when it came to the Cavaliers boss's open letter, James said, "I don't think he ever cared about me. My mom always told me that 'when you're in trouble, you see their true nature, and you can learn something from that.'" And my family and I have seen this man for what he really is. ”
James then added: "Gilbert's reaction made me feel more comfortable because I made the right decision. To hell with him. ”
In the 2010-2011 season, the Cavaliers only had two games that would be broadcast live throughout the United States, the first being against the Heat. This makes James look forward to this game immensely, and there is only one reason for this: Cavaliers owner Dan. Gilbert's open letter gave James a clear look at "the man for what he really is," which would be a huge motivation for him when facing the Cavaliers.
Speaking of Knight Boss Dan. Gilbert, who was undoubtedly the most emotionally out of control this summer. first exposed to reporters many scandals such as James's deliberate abandonment of the game in the playoffs. Then he wrote an open letter and completely tore his face with James.
Gilbert's open letter, so read-
Dear Cleveland, all of the Cleveland Knights supporters of Northeast Ohio and wherever they are, as you know, our former heroes, who grew up in this region, are no longer Knights. This matter was announced by his narcissistic, self-promoting on TV. Apparently. This is very disappointing for us. The good news is that the rest of the team management is hard at work. And very loyal, the knight did not betray you and will never betray you. There's a lot to tell you about the future, and it's going to be very exciting. We'll tell you later. You do not deserve such cowardly betrayal. You have given too much and deserve more. In the meantime, I would like to make a statement tonight:
"I personally guarantee that the Cleveland Cavaliers will win a championship before the man who previously called himself 'Emperor'"
You can take (this promise) to the bank and make good on it.
If you think we were motivated before today, I can tell you that this shameful selfish decision from our own people has brought our motivation to unprecedented heights. Some people think they should go to heaven, but they don't need death to get there. I'm sorry, but that's the easiest way to do it right now.
This is a lesson to the contrary that the shocking infidelity of our own "chosen ones" has taught our children. We used to want our children to be "him". But the good news is that this ruthless act will be "cursed" by Cleveland, Ohio. This self-proclaimed former "emperor" will be "cursed" in the South (Miami) until Cleveland and Ohio do the "right" thing to him, and he will always be unfortunate and suffer retribution.
Wait and see. Good night, Cleveland. Tomorrow is a new day. I promise you that our energy, our attention, our capital, our knowledge, our experience will be spent on one thing: to give you a championship that you have been waiting for for a long time......
Cinnabar. Gilbert.
Cleveland Cavaliers boss.
It was such an open letter that made James completely turn against Cleveland, and from his position, James felt that he had done nothing wrong. In the eyes of Cavaliers fans, James' departure can be regarded as a heinous crime, and he should be cursed.
The opening game between the Heat and the Cavaliers began in such a noise, but ended in the disappointment of the Big Three.
The game between the Big Three of the Heat vs the Cleveland Cavaliers was scheduled after the Clippers and Nets game, but the Miami Heat, who were aiming to win the championship, were unfavorable, and finally lost 92-93 at the Quick Loan Center, which shouted "traitor", "Judas" and "Gorilla" throughout the court, and Wade's three-point shot failed.
The Heat's statistics after the game are like a typical "Knight-style" tragedy: James 30 points, 10 rebounds, 5 assists and 8 turnovers, Wade shot 4 of 16, 15 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists, and Bosh shot 3 of 11, 12 points and 7 rebounds.
In fact, although James scored 30 points, it was his series of mistakes and repeated free throws at the beginning of the game that made the Heat passive, and the "Emperor" was also very rusty with Bosh and Wade, and the 8 turnovers in the game made his answer a lot of color, and I don't know if the curse took effect.
Today's "Quick Loan Center" has become the stadium with the highest noise decibel value in the league, after Guinness official measurement, the Cleveland people shouted in the stadium as high as 123.5 decibels, with a new "indoor stadium noise record" entered the Guinness World Records, it can be seen to what extent their hatred for James has reached, the media predicts that at least one tenth of Cleveland fans today scolded hoarsely.
James and the other two giants lost themselves in the noise, and their shooting was a mess.
James came to his senses in the second half, and at the end of the third quarter he led the bench to close the gap, scoring 15 points in the quarter. But during the same time, the Heat completely became the Cavaliers of the year, relying on James alone to charge, and the others only waited for the pass of the "Emperor" on the outside to shoot three points.
And when James has a tendency to grab power, Wade, as the spiritual leader, seems very dazed, eager to prove that his "Flash" recklessly rushed into the interior again and again, in exchange for a shooting percentage of 4 of 16.
"We're completely out of our own pace." Wade said with some frustration after the game, "LeBron said to me, this is my first preseason game, but I just can't find my form. ”
And Bosh, one of the Heat's "Big Three", only made 3 of 11 shots, saying: "It's too noisy here, we just can't shoot." ”
For the Heat, the concerns all came up in this game.
The first is that the "Big Three" are not pinched into a whole, not only do they rarely play at the same time, but they attack more with individual ability; The second is that the Heat's short height interior line is completely suppressed by the Cavaliers, Brand, Vallejo, and even JJ Hickson can easily blow up the Heat's interior line;
Although after the game, James said: "Rome was not built in a day", and Heat coach Spoelstra also said: "Every day, we try to get better, and it takes time", but in all fairness, the "Big Three" who came together to win the championship did not have much time left for them to run in.
Cavaliers fans were on the happy side, and they laughed loudly at a disgraced James after the game.
Many emperors scolded the old captain and Xiao Mo, both of whom were like chicken blood today, one scored 25 points and 12 rebounds, the other scored 22 points and 8 assists, and even Valejo, who is known as the Brazilian actor, got 19 points and 15 rebounds, which really embarrassed the James fans who scolded them last season in the CBA.
