Sitting in the press conference hall, Li Cheng continued his brief speech style. The media like Li Cheng’s speech style, because they can spend more time asking questions.
"Li Cheng, first of all, congratulations to you and your team for winning two consecutive victories. I think you should know what Larry Brown said about you before the game. What do you think? "
This is almost the same question. Li Cheng took out the words he said to Nisha almost intact. Seeing such an answer, some reporters are secretly scolding the reporter who stood up and asked questions. Li Cheng’s answer has already appeared on the homepage of the website "above the hoop". Isn’t it a waste of saliva and time to ask again?
Soon the second reporter who stood up asked Li Cheng’s previous answer, "Do you think you are a player who can guarantee victory?"
"Yes, is this what’s the problem? This can be seen from our record. "
Then another reporter stood up. "But Larry Brown already has a championship ring in his hand, and you still have nothing in your hand. Why do you question him?" This is a basketball reporter of Sherlock.
Li Cheng glanced at the reporter and immediately replied, "I didn’t question him, but his basketball concept is different from mine. His basketball is rigid and boring. And I think basketball should be full of excitement, and it is a gorgeous piano music. Larry Brown’s philosophy is to stifle the imagination of players, which is utilitarian and rigid. "
"But knowing that he already has a ring, he is also one of the thousands of coaches in the nba."
"I didn’t say that his idea can’t succeed, but it is by no means correct. Teamwork, excitement and magnificence are the key words of basketball. But it doesn’t mean that other ideas and practices can’t win the championship, but it should be noted that he only has one champion, and the Pistons he left behind are the teams participating in the Eastern Conference finals every year after entering the finals twice, but they have never participated in the finals again. This is the reason. He is not necessarily wrong, but he is by no means the best. Finally, the Zen master despised by Larry Brown already has six rings in his hand. "
Li Cheng’s words caused a stir in the live media, and his words were already a collision of two basketball concepts. Maybe this will lead to another discussion about basketball style. More reporters are eager to throw their own questions at Li Cheng. And Li cheng is not at all, accept everything according to the order, and say everything.
As you can imagine, Li Cheng will never say that Larry Brown is good. His series of answers at the press conference was the toughest response to Larry Brown.
Li Cheng said a lot today, which made O ‘Brien and Granger cast a surprised look at him. It is true that Li Cheng doesn’t like to speak in front of the media, but he won’t hide his true thoughts in front of the media. What does he think? He will say what he thinks should be said. The reason why he didn’t like talking before was that he didn’t like the media misinterpreting his true intentions.
Seeing that Li Cheng is a bit high today, if this continues, it will definitely lead to a series of war of words. Granger decided to come out and help Li Cheng out.
"Now the game is over, and Li Cheng has said enough. I think everyone has nothing to understand! Today, we won the game. Today, we finally won the game after a difficult start, and we won beautifully. Why don’t we talk about this game? " Granger grabbed the white directly.
Then immediately, a reporter who thought he had a good relationship with Granger stood up and asked a question about the game, which stopped the momentum of preparing to "besiege" Li Cheng on the spot.
"You talk a little too much today." On the way back, Granger said to Li Cheng, who was sitting in the co-pilot.
Li Cheng turned to look at Granger and said, "I just really expressed my meaning. It’s no big deal."
"It’s not like you."
"I didn’t have a position before, and I have to submit to humiliation. It doesn’t matter now, and I don’t say everything, okay? I won’t shoot at random. It’s just that Larry Brown angered me today. He is a guy I don’t like very much. "
"alas! But I think you’d better not do this to media reporters. "
"Then what should I do to them? No words? Or tell some lies at will? Anyway, I feel that I ignore them on some sensitive issues and don’t answer on some boring topics, but in front of some more normal topics, I should say what I want. "
"all right! I won’t talk about you, just do it yourself. Anyway, don’t worry, I’ll wipe your ass then. "
Granger’s casual sentence, but this sentence hit Li Cheng’s heart …
Chapter 123 Desperate Minnesota people
Sung Jae Lee’s remarks at the post-match press conference once again triggered some discussions about the concept of basketball.
In this era, are we pursuing the utilitarian basketball of champion supremacy or the offensive basketball of gorgeous supremacy?
Phoenix people’s running is exciting and gorgeous, but they are under the defense of the Spurs.
Detroit people destroyed the gorgeous f4 group in Los Angeles with their rock-solid defense.
Many big-name stars have been smelled by reporters.
Kobe Bryant said, "Winning is all about basketball. This is competitive sports, and the winner can be king. However, while pursuing victory, we should keep the beautiful part of basketball as much as possible, which is also the charm of basketball. "
Steve Nash said, "Attack and defense are always relative, just like gorgeous and ugly. Basketball is just basketball, and there are various styles to show its charm. If basketball is always gorgeous, it will no longer be competitive sports, but a stage play. "
Larry Brown, who is closely related to this topic, sneered at Li Cheng’s words after being asked this question. "Basketball is victory, by all means. How many years later, people will only remember whether you won the championship or not, but not how you won it. "
Phil Jackson also said: "All teams that can win the championship have very tough defense, but at the same time, his style of play will never lose the beauty of basketball."
Everyone began to discuss such topics again, but some people pointed the finger at Li Cheng.
Mark Winter, a famous commentator on espn, pointed his gun at Li Cheng. "This is a boring topic. Basketball, as a competitive sport, is of course the supremacy of victory. Should we really follow what China people say,’ friendship comes first, competition comes second?’ . Even if it is really’ friendship first’, it is what the winner said to the loser after the game. Li Cheng, this China person is a clown, he is just trying to win everyone’s attention. "
"Let’s see what kind of player this is? He has almost no defense in the game. What does his attack rely on? Oh, my god His offensive means is like a girl. Am I wrong? Should such a person appear in the nba? Not in wnba (American Women’s Professional Basketball League)? "
Mark Winter’s point of view is only one, and some people think that Li Cheng’s language is too arrogant. He actually pointed the finger at the most prestigious head coach in the nba? He is too arrogant.
"Some people think how good they are when they get some achievements, but in fact they are just a clown."
"What makes him accuse Larry? Does he have a ring? The buffoon ended up with no good result. "
Of course, there are also some people who support Li Cheng in these remarks. As Li Cheng’s teacher, Miller stood up first.
"Some people always like to fart. Li Cheng is just expounding his own remarks. If you don’t like listening or watching, just fuck off. Some people in Indiana like Li Cheng. "
Miller’s mouth is as big as ever. He hasn’t fired in front of the media for a long time.
In China, what Li Cheng said in this interview also triggered some discussions. However, in the Great Heaven, everyone is more discussing the issue itself. Those who like Li Cheng still like him, and those who black him still black him as always.
Various comments poured in, but Li Cheng never cared about them. Now he doesn’t even buy newspapers every day, and the comments and rhetoric of those media are always a little fake now. He has turned on the blocking mode and is out of sight.
However, at the moment, Sung Jae Lee has encountered some troubles at home. Today, the Pacers are playing against the Timberwolves at home. It stands to reason that the Timberwolves are not a strong team, and the Pacers are now a good team in everyone’s cognition. They can cause some trouble to the top four in the East in the playoffs, and they should have a big advantage in front of the Timberwolves after the Wolf King left.
But in fact, they played very hard today. The timberwolves bit the score to death, and Li Cheng’s play was also greatly restricted.
Many teams have tried various ways to deal with the Pacers before, but the strong teams who didn’t regard the Pacers as imaginary enemies didn’t work hard. Those weak teams that have no hope of hitting the playoffs also don’t want to make great efforts to study the Pacers.
However, the dead hole of the walkers has been found. The Dallas Mavericks once made the walkers very uncomfortable in the last game. Their method is feasible. However, the Magic Team is the only team that has caught the death of the Pacers after the rise of Li Cheng.
Their method is to block Granger’s breakthrough, first of all, to scrap one of the commonly used tactics of the walkers, and then to try to prevent the passer who passed the ball to Li Cheng, so that Li Cheng’s gun will have no shells and will not be able to play.
By limiting Granger and Tinsley, the Magic reached the limit of Li Cheng, and finally defeated the Pacers in an all-round way by virtue of its own strength.
The timberwolves took out all the methods used by everyone before and integrated them. They made great efforts to the walkers.
Today’s timberwolves have lost nine games in a row, and they are eager to end their losing streak. At the same time, Timberwolves coach Kathy’s position is also in jeopardy, and he urgently needs a victory to save his trust crisis. Therefore, in this game against the Pacers, the Timberwolves are looking for hope in a desperate situation.
At the beginning of this game, the Timberwolves launched a very ferocious defense against Li Cheng. Their choice is in place, with as few fouls as possible, but they harass Li Cheng with small moves to the maximum extent. This is the measure to test the referee’s penalty, and this measure is just right for Timberwolves veteran Walker.
On the other hand, Al Jefferson, known as the new Wolf King, played very well in this game, and also provided continuous firepower for the Timberwolves’ offensive end in the singles at the basket. Behind him, Ratliff, with outstanding blocking ability, became a barrier behind Jefferson, but also limited Granger and Tinsley’s breakthrough to divide the ball.
The timberwolves have done their homework in this game. They just want to use walkers to stop the bleeding in Indiana.
The game was not as one-sided as the fans imagined, and the second-to-last timberwolves in the west showed their long-lost blood.
The two teams have been anxious since the referee whistled. Until the last minute, the two teams were still tied.
At 1: 09 in the last quarter, Walker’s attack caused Li Cheng’s foul, and he made two free throws to help the Timberwolves equalize the score.
Chapter 124 In order to win
Li Cheng sat on the sidelines with a towel hanging over his shoulder and two words written on his forehead-"depressed."
In this game, it is definitely Li Cheng who is the most uncomfortable and humbled person for the pacers. He ran out of position, but couldn’t catch the ball, and he couldn’t control the ball by himself to find room for attack.
"Damn it!" I looked at the rest of the game, then at the scoreboard. I was upset and muttered something.
