Chapter 372: Unhappy Odie and the upcoming draft year
On the night of the 15th, the Cavaliers happened to have a game, and their opponent was the Denver Nuggets.
In this game, Irving played 33 minutes, scoring 23 points, 4 rebounds, 6 assists on 9 of 16 shots, and 1 block.
However, the best of the game award goes to Tristan Thompson. After all, he contributed 20 points, 10 rebounds and 2 blocks tonight, which was a better performance.
The Cavaliers finally defeated the Nuggets 117:109, so although he was not named the best player in the game, Irving was still in a good mood tonight.
When the current head coach of the Cavaliers, Mike Brown, brought Irving and TT to the post-game press conference, Irving was radiant and had prepared the speech in his heart countless times.
However, the reporters who had already received the news did not take it too seriously and conveyed Wang Zelin's words to Irving.
"Kaili, what do you think of Wang Zelin's remarks?"
Mike Brown, who was next to him, frowned when he heard the reporter's words, but he still endured it because of his experience.
As young people, TT and Irving beside them naturally did not have such a good attitude. After listening to the reporter's words, they were already feeling angry.
Irving gritted his teeth and said angrily: "I don't need anyone else to tell me whether I have the potential to be a super scorer. If anyone is dissatisfied, I'll be waiting for you at Quicken Loans Center at any time!"
Obviously, Owen, who has always been proud and arrogant, was aroused by Wang Zelin's words.
Hearing what Irving said, the media reporters in front of them suddenly felt satisfied...
People in the media will ask relevant questions if there is a conflict. If there is no conflict, they will ask it even if it creates a conflict. If they really can't ask the question, they can ask the same question in a different way.
As long as the person being interviewed is angered, their goal has been achieved.
Especially for young players like Irving and Wang Zelin who have received a lot of attention from the outside world, the media is eager to turn their underwear inside out!
After getting angry, Irving glanced back secretly at the entrance of the player tunnel. The reporters in the interview room were chatting and laughing. It felt like these people were stupid and they were yelled at. They were actually quite happy. It was really unreasonable!
…
That night, Wang Zelin and Irving exchanged insults in the air, which suddenly became a hot topic. For a while, all major media were looking forward to the time passing by faster, so that the game between the Cavaliers and the Trail Blazers at home on the 20th would come as soon as possible.
However, many fans are not optimistic about the Cavaliers, especially when they think about the huge difference in the records of the two teams in the league, which makes them start to go online.
"If you ask me, if you want to win the game on the 20th, you can't win unless Kyrie Irving scores 50 points on the spot!"
"Guys upstairs, wake up. That guy has only scored more than 40 points in a single game so far in his career. How could he say 50 points in a game like this?"
"Actually, Kyrie is not as bad as you say. He ranked first in the Eastern backcourt in the All-Star voting this year! Among all player rankings, he is second only to LeBron..."
"Who doesn't know that the All-Star Game is just a show, but there are still people who take it seriously, right?"
In a certain apartment of the knight, crackling sounds continued to spread outside.
And every Cavaliers fan knows that this is the home of Cavaliers star Kyrie Irving.
There is a saying, everyone has the desire to gossip. In fact, Durant is not the only one in the league who likes to use his trumpet to troll people in the middle of the night or visit unknown websites. There are also many players who also like to use his trumpet to cause trouble.
The difference is that because Durant is the most famous and has many mysterious operations, his secrets will be exposed from time to time...
To sum up, Durant is the most famous among the major NBA players who played trumpets.
The reason why Irving chose to join Durant in the Nets in the future is that the two of them inevitably have some of the same hobbies and habits.
For example, now, after returning home, Irving boarded the trumpet with great joy, wanting to see how the media and fans would evaluate his performance tonight...
In his opinion, there should be more praises.
After all, the Cavaliers had just suffered a 4-game losing streak, and their opponent tonight was the Nuggets. I don’t know how many people looked down on the Cavaliers before the game, but in the end, the Cavaliers won.
As a result, all I could see were many fans complaining about themselves. The one with the highest number of likes was the one about him needing to score 50 points if he wanted to beat the Trail Blazers.
If only one or two people said this, Owen wouldn't care too much at all. After all, sometimes if you care too much about other people's feelings, you will lose yourself.
But this Facebook message received over 10,000 likes in less than an hour after it was posted, and netizens have left over 1,000 messages in the comment area... He only has one account, so he can't stand up to him!
This really made Irving a little angry. Are the Trail Blazers really that strong? Do they need to score 50 points in a single game to win, as netizens said?
Well, it seems, probably, maybe they are quite strong.
But……
Owen is still very unhappy!
After looking at the individual messages in the comment area, Owen decided to work overtime tonight and fight until dawn.
…
On the evening of January 17th, the Trail Blazers defeated the Magic 107:99 in an away game and won a 4-game winning streak.
The Orlando Magic, after Howard was confirmed to have left, established a big policy and plan to rebuild last year.
Not to mention, last season they ranked first in the league with a record of 20 wins and 62 losses... and last among them.
It's right to think about it. Looking back at the history of the Magic team, they are professional!
Unfortunately, even with only 20 wins, they did not get the No. 1 pick. They only received the No. 2 pick and selected Victor Oladipo, a talented guard from Indiana University in the NCAA League.
From the current perspective, the Magic have undoubtedly made a profit, especially compared to the great Bennett of the Cavaliers. It can be said that they have made a huge profit.
However, Oladipo alone still cannot bring the Magic out of the quagmire, so the Magic management is preparing to have another bad year this year.
This way, there are many benefits. The first is that it allows Oladipo to practice, and the second is the wild king of the Magic management: they want to get the No. 1 pick in next year's draft and will
The talented small forward Andrew Wiggins, who is popular all over the country this year, is included in the account.
According to reports, just last May, Wiggins was elected Mr. Basketball of the United States and topped the ranking of high school basketball players selected by "SLAM" magazine.
And as early as October 2012, when Wiggins announced that he would join the high school class of 2013, he was immediately placed at the top of the all-American high school rankings by ESPN, directly replacing the original top player in the 2013 class, Jabari Parker.
In everyone's opinion, Andrew Wiggins is a talented rookie who can rival LeBron James, the leader of the 2003 platinum generation. All the bad teams in the NBA are waiting for him to announce his participation in the 2014 draft.
Besides, even if Wiggins is not included in the account, next year's 2014 draft will be a rare draft year in several years. Several other talented newcomers are also worth waiting for the Magic management.
