Chapter 765 The best of the month! Who is still not convinced! Today 3
On March 6th, U.S. time, this evening the Lakers will compete with the Los Angeles Clippers in the same city. The Clippers' record this season is not bad, currently 42 wins and 20 losses, ranking 6th in the Western Conference, but they have a chance at any time.
Sprint to the top 4. The Spurs, Thunder, and Lakers are currently considered the first group in the Western Conference, the Rockets, Trail Blazers, and Clippers are considered the second group in the Western Conference, and the Warriors and Grizzlies are the third group. However, the Mavericks and Suns are also behind.
There is a chance to break into the third group, and the gap between groups is very small. Any mistakes will cause your team to accidentally slip out of the top eight.
The Lakers are currently only two games away from the Thunder. If they can win tonight's Clippers and the Thunder lose to the Miami Heat at the same time, then the gap will be narrowed to one game. Second in the Western Conference, this
Even if they are a seeded team, everyone in the Zijin Army is eager to sit in this position.
Especially Kobe, he has a high desire to fight tonight. Although he has not had a low level in any game this season, the battle in the same city obviously has more meaning. Since Chris Paul came to the Clippers, the ship has been broken all of a sudden.
After changing the shotgun, it became a battleship capable of competing for the Western Conference championship. Although Tang Qian knew that Paul would not be able to enter the Western Conference finals until at least 2015, the strength of the Clippers should not be underestimated. The Lakers were always defeated by the Clippers in the later stage.
The team was defeated, which illustrates the problem.
One is that the strength has declined seriously, and the other is that the opponent is really capable and very strong.
"The city of air-connections" is not just a talk.
But before that, Kobe and Tang Qian received good news at the same time, that is, they were both selected as the best player of the week and the best player of the month last month! It is not that the tie for best of the month has never happened, but the same
It's rare to be tied for the district's Weekly Player of the Week! Needless to say, it's because David Stern has done some tricks. He wants to bring out another Eastern star in his last term. This is
It is also an important part of his NBA China market strategy.
Originally, this candidate should be Yi Jianlian, but Yi Jianlian has not established a foothold in the NBA, and Jeremy Lin is not an out-and-out local Chinese star. Therefore, the emergence of Tang Qian gave David Stern a new
Betting direction.
Although at present, he is just a blue-collar star, but as long as the blue-collar star is strong enough, who says that he cannot become a "popular star"? After all, until now, the performance of the Lakers No. 29 on the court still makes David.
Tern is satisfied. In fact, it has exceeded expectations.
In this case, it's normal for him to support me.
And he had a hunch that the blockade of the Eastern market would soon be lifted. They couldn't just sit back and watch a player with such a strong ability wander around the periphery of the country. Even if they wanted to, the fans' anger would get bigger and bigger.
Wang. Not to mention that someone in the NBA's Dongfang office "secretly" told him a piece of news, that is... In short, there are more and more signs that he should help this big guy from the East. This is also the reason for his entire decades.
This is the last major event during my term of office.
That's why such a scene appeared.
Of course, Tang Qian has to do his best, otherwise the data will be too bad and David Stern can't go too far.
Now, he is just "going with the flow" and is still "fair and strict" on the surface.
This is also the most "happy" way for him.
Kobe missed 1 game in February and scored a total of 657 points in 15 games, averaging 43.8 points per game, with a minimum of 30 points and a maximum of 60 points. In addition, he averaged 3+ rebounds, 2+ steals, and 9+ assists per game. This
The data is simply unparalleled. And this nearly 10 assists is what Tang Qian helped him "brush up" during this period. It is estimated that the monthly average data is close to 44+10, which will not appear in the NBA for a long time.
It's natural that he squeezed out Durant's 32+8+8 data. Of course, the Lakers have been winning consecutively during this period, which is also a key point to weigh and evaluate. Otherwise, high data and high losses will lead to poor evaluation points.
There will definitely be some loss. As for another person, Tang Qian, he also won the Western Conference Player of the Month award with Kobe Bryant with data close to 34+19+7. This is also the first time in Tang Qian's career.
Best of the month.
With this kind of data, he and Kobe won the best of the month together, and no one would be too angry, because the data is so good.
Regardless of offense or defense, you can't find any problems.
Moreover, the tie-up for the NBA's Best of the Month has been around since the 2001-02 best of the month reform, and it is not uncommon. As for the league's best of the month before the reform, there was only one exception in 1982-83. Yes.
Moses Malone and Larry Drew shared the following league best of the month awards, all of which were single honors.
That’s why many people say that the value of the NBA’s monthly awards has shrunk and is not as high as before.
To a certain extent, this is indeed the case, because if it is the best month in the East and West, Jordan estimates that this number will double. If it is the best month in the entire league, LeBron's number is estimated to be halved. Because you got
The Best of the Month in the Eastern region may not necessarily be as good as the Best of the Western Month. Since it cannot be compared to the Best of the Western Month, then when there is only one spot for the Best of the Month, I'm sorry, but you have to pinch your nose and admit defeat. There is no room for reasoning.
.
But you have to think about it this way. Now that the number of teams in the league has increased, and there may be more teams in the future, wouldn’t the awards become valuable if there are more people? This is the same fallacy as the awards will become less valuable if there are fewer people.
Because in the end, when you compete for historical status, you will find that this is just an "add-on". No matter how many honors you have, you will not be able to compete with someone else's hard honor.
As an NBA player, the greatest honor is to compete for the championship and win the FMVP.
Because competitive athletes always aim to compete for championships. Have you ever heard anyone say, "I want to win the regular season MVP as my ultimate goal?"
That’s why the NBA’s two giants, the Purple and Gold and Green, Los Angeles and Boston, have such “rich foundations.”
It depends on nothing else but the championship trophy.
But it was the first time he was selected as the best of the month. Tang Qian was still quite excited. Although nothing came out when he opened the box, it did not affect his mood. Without it, any first time would be wonderful, so
Everything is fresh, and he can fully enjoy the satisfaction and pleasure brought by this honor. Find motivation and desire from it, continue to move forward, and continue to seize.
However, there are also people who are deliberately "sour". For example, New York star Ewing said:
If the best player of the month was selected in this way back then, then I would definitely double the best player of the month!
Wes Unseld said:
The league has shrunk from being the best in the league to being the best in the East and West. Will it continue to become East 1, East 2, West 1, West 2?
Chris Webb:
It is recommended that the alliance restore the best league system of the month and not let the value of honorary awards become less and less valuable.
This is the "trick" of the league! They are operating secretly and walking the Los Angeles people! Just like last year! - Henry Abbott.
Two people of the month best on the same team? This reminds me of the so-called "two MVPs on one team" in the All-Star Game! Haha~ David Stern is preparing to become the regular season MVP in his last season as president before retiring.
Reform it? Wow~ That would be terrible~ I bet this is a bad move that will damage his wise image! - Brian Windhorse.
However, David Stern chose not to respond to any external comments. He is an "iron-fisted president", so how could he be influenced by such external comments? Anyway, let you shout. Back then, I praised "The Magician" and "The Magician".
"Big Bird", you were like this; when I praised Jordan, you were like this; when I praised Yao Ming, you were like this. Haha, you are so obsessed with it, why don't you become the president of the NBA? How can you fool around?
Are you still a "talkative crow" after all these years?
Anyway, as long as I do it right, you will eventually stick to me like a teddy dog, blowing and licking randomly. I have long been immune to this kind of routine.
So you can just watch what I want to do, and don't have any illusions about what it can do to me.
I believe in my abilities and my own vision, well, at least I'm better than you.
Both Kobe and Tang Qian scoffed at these remarks. Now the relationship between the two is getting better and closer. The so-called "K.Q combination" is no longer just superficial, but is slowly starting to take shape and truly join together. So the muzzle
This is also an extremely natural thing:
My guy definitely deserves this honor! Just like AMVP! He deserves it!
Let me state again, I think the big man from the East next to me is the number one blue-collar player in the active league! His performance in February is enough to deserve the title of the number one center in the active league!
You say you are dissatisfied? Then come to me. These are the exact words of Kobe Bryant!
Seeing Kobe giving face like this, Tang Qian was certainly confident and joked in the interview:
Mr. Wes Unseld has never won the Best of the Month award in his life. I don’t think his speech has any strength! As for Mr. Ewing, I think in his time, even if he was divided into the Eastern and Western Months
The best, he couldn't get a few, after all, he was the last of the four major centers back then. Besides, I don't feel ashamed to get this honor at all, because this data is after 1984.
My only share, since it is my only share, what can I not afford?
Mr. Chris Webber is even more wrong. I remember that the three best-of-the-month awards in his career were all after the league reform. This means that Mr. Chris Webber, who joined the NBA in 1993, if the league still has
If the original Best of the Month selection rules are implemented, then it is very likely that he will not win it once in his life. I think my calculation should be correct, right?
As for some of the "big tricks" in ESPN, I can only say, who is not convinced by my data?
The two people spoke at the same time, which was powerful. Many people felt that Kobe met a good teammate again at the end of his career. Fans who like Tang Qian also felt that these words were both elegant and domineering, which is in line with the AND1 signature shoe "Go his own way."
"The attitude of Tang Qian's first-generation signature shoes has led to a small increase in sales.
AND1 is all smiles now. The original inventory is gradually running out. Seth Berger immediately ordered additional orders for the factory, and doubled the original order in one breath! This shows his confidence and trust in Tang Qian's future.
Got it!
However, some people think these words are too "arrogant". For example, the Bucks' Kenyon Martin feels that Tang Qian is trying to please others. He posted a personal tweet: Some people should not think that playing in the NBA means wearing a basketball.
Shoes are "street blacks"! I know you want to be like us "street blacks"! But I'm sorry, your surname is Tang, not Martin Luther King, okay!
Originally, Martin just wanted to express his dissatisfaction and displeasure, but these words immediately exposed his "IQ balance". Because this obviously involves the biggest problem in the United States, the racial issue. Although in the United States,
, this is a well-known "fig leaf" everywhere, but it is undoubtedly stupid to put it on the table publicly. Anyone who does this will be a dead end! No one will support him.
!
This is the "contradiction and contradiction of racial issues" in the United States. No matter how you say it or curse it in private, everyone even knows clearly what is going on, but you just can't say it openly! If you say it, you are
"Thousands of people are pointing the finger." The idiom "hiding one's ears and stealing the bell" is extremely appropriate when used here, on this American issue.
Even if you think so in your heart and curse in private, once in public, you must be a staunch opponent of "racism". Yes, it is so "masked" that everyone from the president to the poor
People can escape.
Not to mention the United States, when the news was received in China, everyone immediately went crazy, and the Internet was full of "rebellion" voices.
All of a sudden, Kenyon Martin became Kenyon Charcoal Martin in the country. It can be said that everyone despises and reviles him.
Even Martin's agent shouted "idiot" when he saw it. Even the most expensive drugs could not save his poor brain!
After receiving the news, Tang Qian responded humorously in an interview:
I respect whatever Mr. Kenyon Martin says! After all, the United States is a country that advocates freedom of speech! Whatever he wants to say, that is his freedom! But I have never heard that the NBA is an exclusive sport for "street blacks", basketball shoes
They are exclusive sneakers for "street blacks". I am not very proficient in American history. If there are regulations and laws in this area, please tell me, so that I, an Oriental, can learn a lot. But Mr. Martin, I
I just want to ask, can you guess my monthly best data? Oh, no, this is too hurtful, let’s put it this way, um, Mr. Martin, do you know the real identity of the Chinese tattoo on your arm?
What does it mean? If you don’t know, I can tell you, for free. Finally, I am very proud of my nationality, I am very proud of my skin color, I am very proud of my race, and I have never wanted to change any of it.
As soon as these words came out, the traffic of the Sino-US Basketball Forum doubled. Everyone said that Tang Qian's response was "awesome", and some people specially compiled it to facilitate word-for-word translation and explanation.
"Look at what they did, oh~, Martin, this is not how you want to shame us black people! I'm so ashamed of you! Martin Luther King, you don't deserve it!!! Bullshit.
Dog.shit dog.shit!!!”
"IQ is crushing! This is why I say don't engage in verbal kung fu with the Chinese! Of course, you must first find out whether they know kung fu when fighting with them!"
"Retarded!!! This simply makes us black people a target again! It gives some white guys an excuse to whip!"
"Can you beat my monthly best data? This sentence is so hurtful! MAX crit!"
After communicating with Tang Qian, Zhou Zhiru also posted a tweet using Tang Qian’s Twitter account:
I have always respected Mr. Kenyon Martin, and I even had his poster on the wall when I was a kid.
As soon as these words came out, Martin became even more of a "street rat", and everyone started shouting and fighting. David Stern had to come forward to announce his criticism of Kenyon Martin, and at the same time, he promoted that the NBA does not allow race.
It is a completely fair and just global sports league!
Countless players and celebrities also followed suit. In this situation, even if they were a little confused, their agent had warned them in advance that they could not support Kenyon Martin in this matter. So all of a sudden, Martin was dumbfounded.
, the number of fans has plummeted, the number of black people has increased significantly, and he was even directly selected as one of the ten worst people in the history of the NBA.
Domestically, the situation is even more sarcastic, with entire films of satire appearing on the Internet:
Kenyon Martin? When you put on basketball shoes, you become a black man on the street? Then you have Chinese characters tattooed on your arm. You must be eager to become Chinese, right? Come on, let’s talk!
He can't come! It's a hundred times more difficult to get a green card in China than in the United States. How many are there now? There are about 5,000 in total. Last year, there were just over 250. Unless he learns from the "Ma Political Committee" and obeys us, he accepts our offer.
Socialist transformation, otherwise, I think even if he applies a hundred times, he will be rejected a hundred and one times! Another one was given to him in advance!
Worrying about gains and losses when tattooing on your arm? What a stupid IQ! Martin, you must have been deceived by the tattoo artist, go and trouble him!
Such a situation scared Kenyon Martin and he had to lower his head immediately and apologized on Twitter, saying that he didn't mean it, he just wanted to make a joke with Dongfang Fang, that's all, Fang is a good insider!
Tang Qian responded before the start of the game against the Clippers:
34+19+7!Who is still dissatisfied???
PS: I was too sleepy last night. It’s been a bit overwhelming to have such a big update in a row, and Xiaozi has to spend time with her family during the day. But I must finish it today, and I will continue to add more updates~ I will strive for 3 updates today~ The 3rd update will end
!!!How is it? Xiao Zi’s sincerity is okay, right???
This incident is a real thing that happened a few days ago. It was Martin's idiotic remarks against the Chinese player Jeremy Lin. Therefore, it can be seen that the NBA's discrimination against yellow people has never stopped. It's just that no one is so "stupid" or "upright" on the surface.
However, Martin’s later apology must have been out of necessity, and the previous “brainless tweet” was his true words. This cannot be deceived.
Finally, I hope Zhou Qi can play and let the Americans feel the strong pressure from the East~~~Come on~~~
