"Hey! Darko, when you turned around, suddenly Duncan fell there. My mind went blank at the time, and the first thing I felt was - brother, we won this game!" Pierce was changing clothes with his shirt off.
He was walking around the room talking.
"But to be honest, that guy Duncan is really perverted. He doesn't look as strong as those muscular men, and he looks silly. But I can't take any advantage when I'm stuck with him. This guy's bottom plate
It's too stable, and it's not as honest as he looks at all. Many times when I want to catch him with my hands, he has already gone around in front of me. Darko, I am the one who should thank you most for this game..."
Al Jefferson seemed to have suffered a lot from Duncan. He felt like he wanted to thank Milicic's eight generations of ancestors. Instead of being humiliated by Duncan in this nationally broadcast game, he actually had a double-double.
Data, you have to know how important this is for a rookie.
Rivers also came over with a happy face. Although the game was average in the first half of the first quarter, everyone still played well in this game without Duncan. There is no need to pour cold water on them. Rivers said with a smile:
"Paul, Darko, you two dress smartly and come with me to the press conference."
Rivers's words revealed that he wanted to use Milicic as the team's second star. Although Milicic had vaguely been in this situation before, the team has All-Stars like Gary Payton and Eddie Jones.
Veterans, even Pierce didn't dare act like a team boss in front of them. Who dares to say that Milicic is the team's second star? Rivers' move can be regarded as recognizing Milicic's status.
Milicic put on the suit he bought with Natalie, and his mind wandered to Los Angeles again. Natalie would occasionally send him text messages in the past few days, and just now she sent him a text message to congratulate Milicic.
Milicic won the game, but when Milicic responded to the text message and asked about Natalie's current situation, there was no news. This also made Milicic, who had just won, not feel as happy as his teammates.
This is not the first time Milicic has attended a press conference, but before, he was the team's best player, and now the two people present are the team's first and second stars. This is enough to see that River
Si's love for him.
"I am Buck Harvey, sports columnist for the San Antonio Express-News. What I want to ask is Mr. Milicic, seeing your beaming look, don't you have any guilt for hurting Duncan?
"
Originally, Rivers wanted to take over the topic, but Milicic was obviously in a very unhappy mood. He approached the microphone and said: "Tim and I have known each other since the Olympics. From a personal perspective, I am very fond of him."
Respect, before the transfer, Tim also called me and invited me to come to San Antonio. There is no personal grudge between us. Injuries are inevitable in competitive sports. I want to use your moral values, Michael
·After every Jordan game, many people express guilt towards him. I find this question very boring, next one!”
Buck Harvey refused to give up at all: "Don't you think the victory you brought in San Antonio was stolen?"
"Please pay attention to your words. I don't think the Spurs are invincible. Maybe with Duncan's presence, it will be more difficult for us, but the victory in this game is the result of the joint efforts of the whole team. You are not allowed to slander us wantonly.
of."
"So you just don't take All-Star Tim Duncan seriously? You can still win without him?" Buck Harvey set a trap for Milicic.
Milicic was furious and knew that this was Buck Harvey's trick, but then he thought about it, would they let me go in the game if I just conceded a three-pointer? I have to rely on my own strength at all times.
Fighting for fame and fortune in this league, Milicic picked up the microphone and said word for word: "I don't need to take anyone seriously, they are all my opponents on the road to the championship, even the championship team
I don't even look down on the Pistons. I know I'm only a second-year rookie, but that doesn't mean I have to be afraid of anyone."
"Haha! This Celtics is going to compete for the championship? Is it time to sleep now?" Buck Harvey said with a joking tone.
Before Milicic could speak this time, Pierce picked up the microphone and said in his hoarse voice: "Yes, there is no shame in aiming for the championship. Those who have no dreams will always laugh at other people's dreams."
How unrealistic, but I have to tell you, I was just an ordinary short fat guy in high school. At that time, many people sneered at my dream of playing in the NBA, but now they live their own mediocre lives, and I
Standing in the highest hall of basketball in the world, this is the power of dreams."
After Pierce put down the microphone, Rivers applauded with tears in his eyes, and then the whole audience burst into applause. No matter what the position is, people who work hard for their dreams are worthy of respect.
Anyone who can come to the NBA, even the most ordinary blue-collar worker, doesn’t have star dreams. Many people can obviously go to Europe or China to win more salary and applause, but they choose to stay in the NBA because
I have a dream and want to prove myself on the highest stage in the world.
The next day, the front-page headline of the sports column in the "San Antonio Express" was "Milicic: I don't take any All-Star players seriously." This news immediately caused an uproar. That week's "Buck"
"Lee Talk Show" is based on this theme. Kenny Smith thinks Milicic is a little ignorant, but Barkley said: "I like the kid Darko even more. He is not like the players in the league now, but he is very good."
For people of our time, if you didn't do well enough, you would get your ass kicked hard by guys like Bird, and you would also say some trash talk that would make you regret coming out of your mother's womb. I think today's reporters
He also likes to make fuss out of molehills. If Milicic's action of injuring Duncan in that game were reversed 15 years, it would be nothing. Any game of Bill Laimbeer is more classic than that. Fortunately, it was Milicic he questioned. If
It's Ranbir, I'm afraid he needs to be careful on his way home."
The game was broadcast live across the United States, the newspaper's exaggeration and the ratings of "Barkley's Talk Show" made Milicic become a national sports celebrity overnight.
