"I don't know what the curse is, those are just accidents." In terms of external remarks, Adrian was very resolute. He had only one attitude towards the curse, which was that he firmly did not believe it.
"There are so many mysterious events in history, but in the end they were all proven to be simple scientific phenomena. I believe this curse is just a coincidence. Winning the regular season MVP will not affect our preparations for the game. And the Pistons
It will definitely be us who wins the series and advances to the Eastern Conference Finals!"
Adrian is even the leader of the Magic team. If even he is affected by the curse and worries about gains and losses, after the media's extensive reports and curses, other players will definitely be more uneasy because of this. Even if this curse has no effect in the first place,
will become extremely effective.
Adrian also knows that some of the so-called curses are actually the result of the human heart. The first few 'cursed losses' may be just a coincidence. After all, in the playoffs, everyone has strong strength, and the rankings were due to an accidental outbreak.
It is not impossible for the eighth team to defeat the first place. The two things were not necessarily connected at first, but after careful processing, the curse theory suddenly came out, and to a large extent, it is possible
It affects the game mentality of those who are subject to the same 'curse' in the future. If the game mentality is messed up, the game state will naturally decline. In addition, the winners are basically important members of the team, and their role is crucial.
Their poor form will of course lead to the team losing. The chain reaction of this is to further confirm the curse and have a greater impact on people's hearts.
It doesn't matter whether he believes it or not in his heart. In terms of external statements, Adrian must resolutely show his disbelief in curses. Curses are such illusory things. Their influence is also illusory and very difficult to solve.
, because this kind of purely idealistic thing cannot be solved by just saying you don’t believe it. What’s more, even if you say you don’t believe it, this psychological aspect will inevitably be affected to some extent. After all, the fear of the unknown is a common problem of all intelligent creatures.
.
Adrian can only do his best to reduce the impact of the curse incident.
However, Adrian's statement obviously did not have a very good effect. Instead, the media intensified its coverage of the so-called 'playoff trophy curse' incident. Each and every specious curse incident was openly shown on the screens of major TV stations, and even
Some TV stations will also invite several professional ghost catchers, psychics and the like to appear on TV to discuss the trophy curse incident.
In the Chinese dynasty, the first reaction of Chinese people who received strict physical education to the so-called curses and mysterious phenomena such as gods is to sneer. Even if they are somewhat afraid in their hearts, at least they scorn them on the surface. But in the United States, curses,
There is still quite a market for such 'feudal superstitious dross' as psychic mediums, catching ghosts, and evil spirits. It is almost impossible to find a pure 'Scientific God' believer who does not believe in any supernatural phenomena at all and firmly believes that science can explain everything.
matter.
The people of Detroit celebrated the victory. The people of Orlando were happy that the people of Orlando were cursed. The people of Orlando were worried and fearful that the team was cursed with the trophy. Some fans even vowed to suggest to the team that the league delay the awarding of the regular season MVP trophy until the Magic.
Awards will be given after all games of this season are completed.
To be honest, Magic officials really have this idea. After all, the team is currently in panic because of the curse. Letting the league delay the award of the trophy can temporarily suppress this panic.
However, their request was rejected by the league without hesitation. The Orlando Magic officials had no other options to think of.
The team's situation is not good, and Adrian can only stand up again.
"I know that everyone has been having a headache recently because of the curse." After a training match that was not very effective, Adrian stood in front of everyone: "I can't explain the curse of the trophy, and I don't want to.
Explanation. But I think it is too early for us to consider this kind of thing now. The regular season mvp trophy will be awarded to me before the next start of our home game. But there are still two games. Before that we
There are still two away games, let’s not mention the home game for now. But in the two away games in Detroit, as long as we win the two away games, it will be 3:1. We are in an advantage in the promotion situation, even if we return to the home court because of the curse
We lost one game due to reasons, but we still have two games to play, and we can still advance in the end."
After talking, Adrian finally said: "So don't think about the curse for the time being. Even if we lose a game because of the curse, it's not a big deal. 4:2 promotion and 4:1 promotion are even
4:3 to advance. Although the score is different, we all advance in the end. Put aside the curse for now, we just need to win all the games we should win!"
Adrian didn't know if his comfort could make everyone calm down and get rid of the influence of the curse. He was not that European mustache who could make tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people crazy with his body movements and facial expressions. In terms of eloquence,
In fact, he doesn't have any speaking talent.
All he can do is express himself on the training ground, show better condition on the training ground, perform at a higher level, and train harder and more seriously. He hopes to drive his teammates in this way.
Let their condition also improve.
Adrian was not sure how much effect it would have. He could only try his best and think in the best direction.
After a 1:1 tie with the Detroit Pistons at home, the Orlando Magic and Detroit Pistons switched battlefields and flew to Detroit to prepare for two more games against the Detroit Pistons at the Palace of Auburn Hills.
In the visiting team's locker room, Adrian could see the fanatical and rough atmosphere permeating the palace of Auburn Hills. The Detroit Motor City is a city built on the basis of the automobile industry and with automobile workers as the main body.
city. The rudeness and toughness of the workers are undoubtedly reflected in the people of Detroit.
Although due to George W. Bush's nonsense, the surging subprime mortgage crisis has also greatly affected Detroit, and the high unemployment rate has caused the street scene in the Motor City to become somewhat deserted. But when the lights of the Palace of Auburn Hills flashed
When it was lit up, roars and roars rushed like a tsunami into the poorly soundproofed locker room.
"Don't worry." Seeing that everyone became a little uncomfortable under the influence of this huge momentum, Adrian smiled: "My mother told me that the louder a person's voice is, the less confident he is.
Therefore, the louder their voices are, the more afraid they are of us."
Adrian stood up and pushed open the door to the locker room. Without the obstruction of the door, waves of sound could pour into the locker room without any hindrance. Amidst this crazy roaring sound,
Adrian felt that his condition was getting better and better, as if his blood was burning and boiling, as if there was a beast in his body that finally broke free of the chains that had been binding him, and raised his head to the sky and roared loudly.
!
He had to increase his voice so that his teammates could hear him clearly, and he also had to increase his voice because his boiling blood was burning and he couldn't think without roaring loudly!
"Listen to their voices, they are so loud! You know, Detroiters cheered after learning that we were cursed. Do you know what this means?" Adrian looked around the crowd, his voice getting louder and louder,
Almost roaring: "Because they are afraid of us, because they have no way to defeat us with strength, so they place their hopes and curses on evil spirits, hoping that the curse can help them defeat us! They are afraid, afraid of us!"
"Listen to their roars, they are clamoring to kill us! But don't be afraid of them, because they can't do anything. The facts will prove that they are just a bunch of cowards, a frog, trying to breathe hard to make themselves
Get bigger to scare off predators, we are predators, tell me, Rashad, Shida, Kwame, Maxine, all of you tell me!" Adrian took a deep breath
: "Will you be scared off by them?"
Adrian's questioning was more like a roar than a question. When Adrian roared, there was a murderous aura about him. He opened his eyes angrily and stared at everyone, as if anyone
If you say you are afraid of Adrian, you will immediately pounce on him and tear him apart!
"Of course it's impossible!" Kwame Brown stood up with a loud cry: "We will tear them into pieces, dip them in a little honey, and swallow them!"
"Yes, swallow them!"
"Tear them apart!"
Roar, roar!
As if he was going to overwhelm the entire palace of Auburn Hills with his roar, the visiting team's locker room instantly turned into a camp occupied by wild beasts, with bloodthirsty and violent emotions spreading wantonly in the air.
"This guy finally learned how to be a leader." Stan Van Gundy was surprised, satisfied and even more happy. Adrian's performance today was obviously different from usual. He was full of an aura that he would not give in to.
In the past, Adrian had the strength and mind of a leader, but lacked the momentum of a leader. But now, seemingly stimulated by the fanatical atmosphere of the Auburn Hills Palace, something in Adrian began to awaken.
He...has learned how to be a leader! (To be continued...)
