Chapter 746: Weekly Question of the Week
From the beginning, the Warriors were pressing the Mavericks to play, and the Mavericks were completely restrained by it, and in the face of the youthful and invincible Warriors, the Mavericks couldn't help but admit that they were already old bulls.
Especially today, the Warriors are bent on avenging the old Nelson, and the killing is called a passion, and after the third quarter confirmed the hope of victory, the Warriors didn't care, and still worked together to play in the finals, and never let go.
So, after the end of the game, the Warriors outscored their opponents by 28 points 115-87.
It's more interesting now, it's not news that the second in the west won the third in the west, but it was able to win close to 30 points, which made many people fall through the glasses.
"Old Nelson Cows", this theory has been put forward again.
At the post-game press conference, this topic was also the focus, and the first reporter to stand up to ask a question said: "Hello, Mr. Chamberlain, I am Liu Zhi, a reporter from the CCTV Sports Channel of the People's Republic of China. ”
The reporter's words are spoken in Chinese, which is also the preferential treatment given by the NBA to Chinese reporters in order to open up the Chinese market, and they can interview Chamberlain in Chinese, which can increase the national pride of the Chinese.
Chamberlain coughed and said: "Actually, this is very simple, we played according to the coach's arrangement, and the reason why we can win so much shows that our head coach is very good." In addition, if someone fails to repay his debts, we have to teach him a lesson and let him understand that some problems that cannot be solved by the law do not mean that they cannot be solved! ”
The reporter smiled slightly, and Chamberlain asked rhetorically: "By the way, why are you asking so much today?" You just say that you are a CCTV reporter, you have the title of NBA, why do you use the word 'American Professional Basketball League'? ”
Hearing this, the reporter smiled bitterly and explained helplessly: "We have just received a notice that in the future, foreign languages and abbreviations cannot be used in the oral broadcasts of domestic hosts, interviews with reporters and subtitles, such as GDP, WTO, CPI, etc. If it must be used in special circumstances, it should be explained in Chinese after the foreign language and foreign language abbreviations. ”
"Are you playing an April Fool's joke on me?" Chamberlain laughed.
The reporter also smiled and said with a wry smile: "I hope so, but unfortunately not." ”
Chamberlain: "Are you leaders stupid X?" ”
The Warriors returned with a big victory, leaving the Mavericks with a humiliating result and a serious problem exposed.
Originally, the Cuban trade sent away the soft egg Gooden, the brain-dead Howard, the old goods Rose and others, and got Butler, Haywood and other strongmen, but he was still proud in his heart, and the team's third record in the West also gave him good comfort, but as a result, this qiē is now ruined.
The Warriors used a big win to tell them that with their current roster, if they meet in the playoffs, they will still be abused.
Chamberlain exploded with 41 points and 26 rebounds, and he simply demanded rebounds, and the Mavericks couldn't compete with him when they combined up and down, Nowitzki only had 7 rebounds in 44 minutes, and Haywood and Dampier combined for 10, which was a double-double.
After the game is over, a new round of Eastern and Western Player of the Week is out again.
The Eastern Conference's Player of the Week is Bosh, who averaged 31 per game last week. 5 points, which is 7 points higher than his average points per game this season. 2 points. In addition, Bosh is averaging 11 per game. 5 rebounds, 1. 5 assists and 1. Five steals led the Raptors to a 3-1 record last week.
In his last four games, Bosh has double-doubled and scored more than 40 points in his ninth career game against the Timberwolves on March 21.
The best of the week in the West, naturally he can't run Chamberlain, and the 70+20 against the Raptors is enough to illustrate a qiē problem, and he should be the most undoubted winner of the week, but in the final selection, he almost lost to Durant!
Du Dashao has also been very aggressive recently, and he has used this season's scoring list NO. The No. 3 ranking heralds the rise of a new generation of outside scoring machines, and the Thunder, led by Durant, won all four games last week.
The most noteworthy of these four victories was their first victory in San Antonio since 2004. Durant averaged 38 per game last week. 5 points, and there are 8. 0 rebounds, 2. 8 assists, 2. 5 steals and 1. 5 caps of the full table xiàn.
Yes, Durant's performance is good, but compared to Chamberlain's average of 46 points per game in four games, this still seems very unreliable, right?
But that's the way it is, Durant threatens Chamberlain in the Western Conference Weekly Rankings, and in addition, Du Dashao has won the Western Conference Weekly Championship twice this season!
Chamberlain didn't care about this, but Winnie and the Warriors were very dissatisfied, Chamberlain didn't understand, Winnie explained: "Don't you understand? This is because the alliance is going to suppress you, Z, your table is too dazzling, and your storage zài is starting to hinder the development of the alliance, so the alliance is going to suppress you! ”
Hearing this, Chamberlain was dumbfounded, and he was stunned: "What are you kidding, I am hindering the development of the alliance?" I'm hindering a**! Am I helping the alliance to develop the Asia-Pacific market? You see what the Asia-Pacific market was like before I appeared, and then look at what it looks like now! ”
"But you're too strong, you know, your strength scares the league, God came to the NBA, and in that case, how are you going to let other people mess around? You've been the rebounding champion twice in a row and it's still yours this season, you've been the Defensive Player of the Year two-time and this one is still yours. Winnie said to Chamberlain.
"What's wrong with that? Isn't that a good thing, isn't the league always looking for Jordan's successor? Chamberlain said unconvinced.
Winnie glanced at Chamberlain lovingly and said, "You are still a child, it is too simple to consider the problem, you are not Jordan's successor now, you are the god on the court!" Besides, even if it is Jordan, hasn't the peak been blocked by the league for three years? Do you know what caused Jordan to retire for the first time? ”
In 1993, Jordan, who had just won three consecutive championships and was at the peak of his life to marry Bai Fumei, suddenly announced his retirement, which caught all parties off guard, and both ABC and ESPN had to temporarily change their broadcast plans to broadcast the press conference live.
At the press conference, Jordan, who has just turned 31 and won three consecutive championships, explained the reason for his retirement very simply: I have reached the pinnacle of basketball, and there is nothing more to arouse my enthusiasm in this arena.
"Do you believe that?" Winnie looked at Chamberlain and asked bluntly.
Chamberlain thought about pulling it, shook his head and said, "I don't believe it." ”
Yes, he doesn't believe it, isn't this nonsense, he has reached the pinnacle of basketball, Jordan after the first three consecutive championships, although his status is faintly over Magic Johnson and Big Bird Bird, but it is only faintly pressed, not really pressed!
What's more, at that time, Jordan was holding a big contract and a high-value endorsement contract, even if basketball couldn't arouse his enthusiasm, then making money could also arouse it.
"So what do you think is the reason for Jordan's real retirement?" Winnie asked.
Chamberlain said: "It should be to avoid the scandal, MJ's reputation was bad in those years, and the league arranged for him to avoid the scandal for his better development." ”
Jordan emotionally said that he retired because of his loss of passion for basketball and the killing of his father, and his die-hard loyalists naturally believed in this. But after the press conference, this statement was hardly accepted by any media.
Jordan's argument is not convincing, because in the 1992-93 season, although Jordan completed three consecutive championships, there was too much noise on his body that could even drown out the light of his three consecutive championships.
First, in 1992, a nightclub owner who was on bail was killed in his home, and the police found three checks signed by Jordan when they investigated the scene.
Human lives are at stake, and the whole United States is in an uproar.
Jordan immediately stated that he did not know the victim, but after that, under the pressure of public opinion, he only admitted that he had financial dealings with the victim in gambling, but he never committed any crime. According to Jordan, he lost about 10 to the victims. $80,000, which is basically lost at the poker table.
A wave has not settled, and another wave has risen.
Before the dust settles on the murder of the nightclub owner, it was revealed by the media that the FBI is secretly investigating Jordan.
In the spring of 1992, the F.B.I. searched for a 5 while arresting a drug dealer. Check for $70,000. According to the drug dealer's confession, the check also came from Jordan. The FBI suspected that Jordan was either on drugs or involved in huge gambling, but the matter was later dismissed.
At the time, Jordan's gambling penchant was well known within the team and among Bulls reporters, but few people talked about it publicly.
However, after the outbreak of crimes for two consecutive years, Jordan's gambling instantly became a hot topic of discussion across the country.
To the public's disappointment, the checks judged that Jordan's gambling day coincided with the day he was absent from the president's reception of the Bulls at the White House.
Through a crisis PR affair, and as the Bulls defended their title in 1992-93, the public gradually forgot about Jordan's gambling scandal.
But the good times didn't last long, and in the 1993 Eastern Conference finals, the Bulls fell behind 0-2 against the Knicks, and Jordan, who shot 37 iron from 59 in the first two games, became the target of public criticism.
Then the media broke out that someone saw Jordan gambling all night at Atlantic Casino. Jordan was still so addicted to gambling during such an important game as the Eastern Conference Finals, which sent chills down the hearts of many Bulls diehards.
Jordan is still the same old routine, first firmly denying it, and then admitting that he did go for a pastime, but definitely not all night, insisting that he had returned to the hotel before 11 p.m. However, his 3-of-18 shooting in Game 3 made his defense worthless, and it was Pippen who took over the game to level the overall score at 1-2.
The successive scandals almost ruined the previous perfect image of Jordan. After the third game, the wave of media crusades against Jordan reached its extreme: from Jordan's love of forcing rookies to play poker with him to the president's meeting who would rather be absent from the White House for gambling, from his love of teaching teammates in training sessions to Jordan's lame golf skills, even Jordan's bald head could not escape being ridiculed.
As you know, Jordan fought back in the next three games, and finally reversed the Knicks 4-2 and successfully reached the Finals. But just before the Finals began, Jordan's bad luck struck again: a publisher named Escuunas wrote a book, "Michael and Me: Our Gambling Habits and My Requests." In the book, Jordan's gambling and pickling girls broke out, and the author even bluntly said that Jordan owed him millions of dollars!
In this way, just after the finals, Jordan was summoned to the NBA headquarters in New York before he had time to taste the taste of three consecutive championships.
There, a special investigative team of seven NBA executives led by Stern, plus a justice, questioned Jordan for two and a half hours, but the NBA issued an announcement afterwards that they would not punish him in any way.
Although the NBA officially dropped the investigation into Jordan's gambling, the public did not want to condone Jordan. In those years, "like Mike" was the most popular phrase among NBA fans, but fans changed it to "gamble like Mike".
If the fans' denunciation of himself made Jordan start to tire of the NBA, then the murder of Jordan Sr. on July 23 made Jordan completely chilled.
In this way, Jordan retired gloomily.
However, Jordan's retirement did change the direction of media coverage in an instant. Before retiring, the media stared at Jordan's gambling vices, and Jordan suddenly announced his retirement, everyone suddenly felt sentimental and began to miss Jordan's beauty, and even some media introspected: they thought that it was the meanness of the media that forced Jordan to retire early.
