Chapter 452 Sparks with ESPN I wish everyone a reunion~
Revenge successful! Tonight they fight for old Bass! - Los Angeles Times.
Kobe Bryant claims Buss was one of the greatest owners in sports history! - Bleachers.
KG said after the game that he admires the Chinese Football Team very much and believes that the Chinese Football Team can reach a higher level in the future! - Lakers Nation.
But the good luck did not last long. Back-to-back away games instantly brought down the Lakers, whose main lineup was aging.
The tempo throughout the game was half a beat slower than the opponent's, and with Howard going his own way, the Lakers lost to the Portland Trail Blazers by 20 points.
Suddenly, their record dropped back to twelfth in the Western Conference, and the person in front of them was none other than their opponent in this game, the Portland Trail Blazers. Suddenly, the outside media made waves again, and they all
Claiming that the Lakers are finished, even the spirit of Old Buss in heaven cannot protect them.
After returning to Los Angeles, the Lakers team will have a public team event, that is, going to the Nokia Theater near the Staples Center to attend the memorial service of Buss. This is a memorial service that is not open to the outside world.
, but there will be a live broadcast, but strangers are not allowed in without an invitation letter. Having said that, when Tang Qian walked in, he still felt a rush of people.
It seems that Buss and the Lakers have gained a lot of popularity over the years.
As a role player, of course he was not qualified to go on stage and give a speech, but after listening to the eulogies of the Lakers' achievements, Tang Qian unknowingly soaked up the atmosphere. It was a very solemn and solemn performance.
Memorial service, and compared to other retired legendary stars, active players are under huge pressure. There is only one center for Kobe's speech, fighting for Dr. Buss, fighting for the dignity of the Lakers, as long as he still has breath, he will
Drag the Lakers into the playoffs!
Others don't know it, but Tang Qian saw a touch of determination and ruthlessness in No. 24.
The "Black Mamba" who has been holding back for most of the season is finally about to completely shed his skin and reveal his true colors.
This may be a good thing, or it may not.
After the eulogy ended, several celebrities invited by the Bass family took turns singing for Bass, including Tang Qian's acquaintance, Taylor Swift. In this slightly heavy atmosphere, the entire memorial service
At the end, Taylor wanted to invite Tang Qian to have a meal with him, but was directly rejected by the latter: "Sorry, Taylor, the Lakers are currently in trouble internally and externally, and I really am not in the mood to go out to relax and have fun, so I'll wait.
Next time."
Taylor was a little angry at Tang Qian's attitude at first, but after thinking about it, he felt relieved. What he did was considered to be kind and righteous. He was not the kind of cold-blooded person, right? The Lakers are indeed in a bad situation now.
It's natural that he's in a bad mood. You'd better find him next time.
This is Tang Qian. If it were someone else, Taylor wouldn't be so "thinking about him".
The fact is that the Lakers were pushed to the forefront the next day.
ESPN expert Henry Abbott wrote: Kobe’s impossible promise! The Lakers died because of his stubbornness!
It's still the same trick as always, avoiding the most important and focusing on picking up some unfavorable "black material" to undermine Kobe, as if the Lakers will directly change qualitatively and become the Western Conference champion without Kobe. Normally, forget it, Kobe doesn't bother to pay attention to this kind of trolling.
People who talk nonsense, but Henry Abbott should definitely not do it. He said something in his article that Kobe Bryant didn’t respect Buss Sr. at all. Kobe just respected Buss Sr.’s money.
It was these simple words that completely ignited Kobe's anger. He spoke directly through the local media in Los Angeles:
Some people at ESPN are idiots who specialize in fabricating facts! If he dares to stand in front of me, then I will definitely punch him in the face!!!
It is rare these days to openly challenge ESPN. Starting from James, most of the stars have a "good baby image" and are not grudges with the former at all. This also makes ESPN experts feel happy and provide guidance than before.
It was so pleasant. After all, in the 1980s and 1990s, stars would angrily criticize ESPN when they disagreed. There were many of them. From Jordan to Barkley, from Moses Malone to John Stockton, they all had extremely unique personalities.
A clear and tough person. It doesn’t matter whether ESPN is the leader in American sports or not. If it is written untrue and it makes me unhappy, then I have to speak out and then I have to refute!
Anyway, they have local media and local newspapers to help them speak out, and they won’t give a shit about you “brick dogs”.
But things are different now. The new generation of stars all speak very measuredly, are polite, and look like good gentlemen.
This is caused by the changing environment of the times. No one except a few old bones can be spared.
But unfortunately, Kobe Bryant is one of these old bones, so it really pissed him off. He didn't care at all about the identity and status of these "birdmen" on ESPN. At this time, Kobe Bryant was a stabbing
It's a hornet's nest. Because of the "superiority" in recent years, people at ESPN unexpectedly got together and began to support Henry Abbott and denounced Kobe's rudeness and incompetence.
Bryant became angry when he saw me revealing the truth? This just proves the reliability of my remarks! As long as the Lakers have Kobe for one day, they will not be able to rise again!
When Henry Abbott saw that he had received support from so many colleagues, he became more motivated and immediately wrote a counterattack, ridiculing and teasing Kobe. On the eve of the Lakers' game against the Texas Mavericks on the 24th, this seemed to have become a
The "hot topic" of the alliance.
Kobe VS Henry Abbott, or Kobe VS ESPN, appears endlessly on the Internet and TV.
Most players across the league have remained silent on this matter because no one wants to compete with ESPN. The influence of this behemoth in the United States and around the world is enough to make any player "fall from heaven to hell." This is what a so-called authoritative media said.
Energy, the greater the Internet era, the stronger their influence will be.
And what about the Lakers players who were among them? Most of them were hesitant. Looking at it from left to right, only one Steve Nash stood up and said a few fair words. But because of these few fair words, let
He also became the target of criticism from ESPN. Articles with no evidence and no truth began to appear on the Internet, which seriously damaged Nash.
This is the current situation of ESPN. It is probably that it has been an "oligarch" for a long time, so when it comes to doing things, it gradually cannot tolerate the refutation of others and the different opinions of others. You can either listen to me, so that I can give you advice when I am in a good mood.
You are a dog's bone; or you accept my "public opinion sanction", which will instantly make you covered in black spots and become notorious.
But this can't stop Tang Qian. After living again, his mentality has changed. Fame, money, and "money path" all don't matter anymore. Because his purpose in life is to play basketball and work for him all his life.
I work hard for my basketball career, and then... I just want to be free and easy, and have a clear conscience.
If you guys at ESPN keep trying, will you be able to kick me out of the league?
Since I can't, then the salary from playing professional basketball is enough for me to live on, and I don't need to flatter you or bow down to you.
So when Tang Qian was interviewed by reporters, he clearly said:
I support Kobe! For some experts who like to make up their own minds, I can only say that one punch is too little!
As soon as these words came out, Steve Nash's firepower immediately shifted and began to fully attack Tang Qiandao:
Violent elements! List down the seven deadly sins of China in the NBA!!!
The hottest All-Star in history! Made in China!!!
According to some people familiar with the matter, in daily training, China bullied the weak and feared the strong. It once angered the "World of Warcraft" and was beaten by the latter for fifteen minutes!!!
Impolite Orientals! People like this who advocate violence are not worthy of being an NBA player!!!
According to a Lakers insider...
But Tang Qian didn't bother to read more of these reports, because if he wanted to fight back, winning was the last word!
That night, the Lakers issued a video announcement on the 24th, saying that the Lakers will definitely enter the playoffs this season!
No one can stop us!!!
PS: I have to prepare the New Year’s Eve dinner today, so I can only update one chapter. It will start to explode tomorrow~
Xiaozi wishes everyone a happy New Year’s Eve and family reunion~
