Chapter 484 The sun will eventually shine(1/2)
"Everyone has the right to speak freely, which is one of the foundations of the founding of this country. If Wish is attacked for some of his remarks, it is not his problem, but his problem, he always knows what he is doing, he puts himself in the right position, and that's all."
There are many ways to interpret Phil Jackson's approach to Wei Xia's post-match press conference.
When he was young, the hippie rebellion broke out. He was buying people's hearts. He was bribed by the RMB like Wei Xia... People believe more in the first type.
Wei Xia was also on the scene. After the reporter asked Jackson, he naturally had to ask Wei Xia.
"Does the outside voice have any impact on you?"
"Let me behave better." Wei Xia said sarcastically.
“That is, you won’t change your position?”
Wei Xia replied in a more sarcastic tone: "Is it wrong to breathe the air of freedom in a free country and speak freely? Or is the freedom of the United States only exists in fantasy?"
His words caused an uproar in the scene.
"If you hold a contrary opinion in China and ZF, you will be sent to jail!"
That night, when Wei Xia came out of the target center, a fan shouted to him.
Wei Xia guessed that the "China" he mentioned might be the "Republic of China".
"Yes, you are right, do you know why?" Wei Xia asked with a wave of his hand.
The man was stunned on the spot.
He went back to the hotel with the team, and few teammates discussed this with him. No one wanted to touch the penalty area, they all had their own opinions, but if Wei Xia dared to confront public opinion and took the initiative to turn against the media, who could make him change his views?
"Why are you just unwilling to say something nice?"
Back at the hotel, Kobe took the initiative to find him.
“I always knew how to go the right path for the American style, but I just didn’t want to go that path.”
"Why?"
Weisha imitates Al Pacino: "Because the soul has no prosthetics."
"What if you were wrong?" Kobe asked.
Wei Xia said solemnly: "I will send a letter of repentance to the whole society and ask everyone for forgiveness."
As soon as he finished speaking, he continued to ask, "What if I'm right?"
Kobe couldn't answer.
"If I were right, who would apologize to me? The media that slandered me, the reporters who took things out of context, or the fans who humiliated me? Will they apologize?" Wei Xia smiled coldly, "I just don't want to be like those people."
"If I were one of them..."
“I mean if.”
Kobe said softly: "If I was the one who was wrong in the end, I will apologize to you."
After saying that, he walked out of Wei Xia's room.
After a while, another person came.
It was Paul Gasol, who avoided sensitive topics and just chatted with Weisha.
After a while, Vaughan Weaver came and just asked Weisha if she wanted something to drink.
Wei Xia refused him and turned off the lights and went to bed.
The next day, his remarks once again aroused strong dissatisfaction from the outside world. Everyone ignored his wonderful performance and only criticized his position and ZZ's incorrect speeches.
"You live in the freest country in the world, but you support your sins in the name of freedom?"
"Wish is just a Chinese who was reborn by God!"
"This is Detroit, and after a democratic vote, we all believe that Wish should be deprived of the right to speak freely."
The Lakers' next stop is Charlotte.
During the game, Wei Xia enjoyed booing all over the audience.
Kobe found his accurate heart. Gasol's passing skills showed off again and again, but he was unable to protect his rebounds because he was often pulled outside by the young men who Boss Qiao knew with keen eyes.
Kobe is in good offensive form, so Wei Xia will naturally focus on defense.
The advantage of focusing on defense is that the fans' boos will stop for a while.
Because it is impossible for fans to boo people who don’t have the ball in their hands, otherwise some people will not know who the fans are booing.
Only when the person who needs to be booed can the fans boo the ball in a neat way to maximize the volume.
Once he got the ball, the Bobcats fans output booed with a long malicious intent.
He only scored 10 points against the Bobcats, and most of them came from counterattacks.
In addition to 10 points, there were 12 rebounds and 7 assists. Although the defensive end did not hold Felton's offense, the opponent allowed 0 assists in the whole game.
Felton scored 29 points alone, and 0 assists showed that he was seriously dereliction of duty as a point guard, and as an offensive guard, he completed the task beyond the standard.
Facing the Lakers, one person's bravery is not enough to achieve the achievement of killing the Lakers.
"Winning is everyone's credit, not only me, but Paul, Derek, Wish," Kobe said. "His defense means a lot to us!"
Because Wei Xia's speech was extremely politically incorrect, three years ago, Boss Qiao's move to choose Redmond Felton for the sake of the local market was unanimously believed by foreign media to be correct.
Tonight, Felton scored almost three times that of Weisha.
The moldy men seemed to have more evidence: "Michael avoided Kwame Brown-like jokes, and Redmond would never let him down. This young man has all the brilliance of North Carolina!"
Well said, look at the data.
Redmond Felton currently averages 14 points, 3 rebounds and 7.3 assists per game, with a shooting percentage of 41%.
Wei Xia currently averages 22.9 points, 8.6 rebounds, 6.8 assists per game, with a shooting percentage of 49%.
Although Jim Bass disagreed with Wei Xia Hard Steel Media and the correct way to confront ZZ's public opinion, he still ordered his people in the Orange County Chronicle to output against the wind.
They compared the data, performance, and performance of Weisha and Felton.
"Maybe, Redmond has a talent I don't know. Although he has not played a playoff game in three years since he entered the league, although he was labeled as a parabolic countless times before last year, and although Wish only surpassed him in scoring, rebounding, stealing, blocking, and shooting percentages at all high and low levels, the Bobcats skipping Wish in the 2005 draft was definitely the most 'wise' decision I have ever seen! As a Lakers fan, I am so 'envious'!"
There is no suspense comparison at all. Since Wei Xia was recently killed in popularity, many fans really believe that Felton, who is only 0.5 in assists per game, is a better player than Wei Xia.
The media changed its direction, and they tried their best to criticize Wei Xia for being selected as the All-Star.
These people think that unpopular players should not play All-Stars. It is a festival for fans. How can a mouse shit be ruined?
When public opinion fermented, the alliance came forward urgently and said: "The things that have been decided will not change."
In a blink of an eye, the Lakers arrived at their best stop before the All-Star Weekend.
Miami
The Heat, who won the first championship in team history two years ago, ended with the sharks' aging.
The young core player Dwyane Wade has a promising future, but he is too young to build a championship team around him.
The Heat took their patience to flush the toilet and traded the sharks for Shawn Marion, who wanted to make another score.
Wade's injury suddenly hit, forcing them to change their strategies and focus on making trouble.
At this time, the Heat won 9 wins and 40 losses. The desire and desire for the total No. 1 pick is visible to the naked eye.
The Lakers do not want to be the stumbling block for the Heat's total pick, and Kobe's performance recovered.
On the journey, his behavior was like a roller coaster, his condition was extremely strange.
Sometimes I hit the iron all night, only negative ones, no positive ones; some are accurate all night, maintaining a shooting rate of more than 55% throughout the whole process, making the opponent's scalp numb.
In order to help the Heat play badly, Kobe inspired a good state.
However, Paul Gasol was in a sluggish manner in the face of the cruel hand-to-hand combat like the laws of the Heat's jungle.
He made 4 of 14 shots in the game, scored only 10 points, sent 2 assists, and rebounds were not as good as Weisha and Ryan Hollinsdo. The sluggishness was visible to the naked eye.
The warm Miami does not belong to Wei Xia.
When the basketball was passed to him, the booing sounded like the sunshine of Miami Beach.
For him, solidarity is no longer important.
He needs to thank the experience of the old times. That special experience allowed him to experience how players oppressed by race in the 1960s survive, how to face away hostility, and how to control their mood to play games.
Wei Xia made a three-pointer with a relaxed mood.
"The boo doesn't seem to have any impact on Wish!"
Two minutes later, the Heat missed the shot, Wei Xia grabbed the long rebound and counterattacked alone, threw himself in the frontcourt and dunked the Tomahawk.
The fans were furious and the boos were even more harsh.
Wei Xia just turned sideways and spread her hands to the fans on the left and said: Do you dare to do some new tricks?
"Wish not only doesn't care about the booing at the American Airlines Center, but also provokes the fans!"
When the Heat fans get angry, all they can do is to use more strength to boo.
Wei Xia's face was indifferent and remained unmoved.
