After the confession failed, I went to the NBA to play and lose weight

Chapter 211 Aftermath of Speech

After the press conference was over and he joined his team, he was a little surprised that not only his father praised him, but even Little Mike and the others didn't think there was anything wrong.

"Um, wouldn't it be a little bad if I said that?"

He felt like he said something inappropriate just now, but Little Mike grinned and said: "Don't worry, Li, you may receive a fine from the league, but this matter will definitely do you more good than harm .”

Li Chengming was a little puzzled, but after listening to their explanation, he immediately understood.

Stern has been committed to creating a "gentleman's alliance", but a gentleman does not mean swallowing his anger.

What he wants to combat is the previous kind of fighting and fighting, playing with fists. Those stars in the 90s who had never fought were ashamed to say that they had mixed in that era.

Leader Qiao is not only good at playing basketball, but also not weak in fighting. If not, he would not be so easy to break through from the bad boy army, and it is really possible for them to be destroyed directly.

In those days, every team had to keep a bad guy on hand, and they didn't necessarily have to fight every time, as a nuclear deterrent to each other.

After the new millennium, this kind of thing gradually became less and less, and once it happened, the league would act like a thunderbolt. For example, the incident at the Palace of Auburn Hills was too bad, and the most important thing was to involve the fans, so Stern was merciless, even if Knowing that the result would tear up the strong Pacers team, he would not hesitate to do so. This was his determination.

But if he only responds to reporters at the press conference with reason and evidence, it not only shows his personality, but also shows the ability to fight with words that those low-quality stars have never had before. Stern said he was fined, but secretly he might happy.

The strategy of the League of Gentlemen is to attract the attention of the middle class, the group with the largest consumption power in the United States, and Li Chengming's behavior is actually a bonus.

"Uh, I knew I would have said a few more words."

"No, that's fine," Little Mike said. "You don't need to respond to the rest. We can talk about it. I will contact Mr. Smith, and he should have some ideas."

Li Chengming nodded, still believing in the judgment of the professionals in the team.

There was nothing else going on for the time being, but Howard and the others soon found them and wanted to take Li Chengming to the nightclub to celebrate him.

This is not the first time this kind of thing happened, and Howard also had a game the next day. Li Chengming believed that he would not go too far, so he went out to play with the three big brothers, that is, drink some wine and watch the beauty performance to relax.

Of course, not the undressed kind...

After a night of silence, what Li Chengming said at the press conference the next day really spread, which also caused a lot of heated discussions.

As Little Mike said, this matter actually added a lot of points to him,
Of course, the league also properly issued a ticket to him, and the $[-] was just gone, which made Li Chengming feel a little bit pained.

Although it is easy for him to make money now, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is making money every day. Only Howard and Lewis in the team can say that they are richer than him.

But when encountering this kind of thing, he still subconsciously compares it with his annual salary of less than 50 yuan, and one-twentieth of this one mouth suddenly disappears.

Ah, what is the rush of the moment?

Of course, the losses here can easily be made up elsewhere.

Not to mention the United States, the fans in China are overjoyed because of his remarks.

Isn't this a voice for them?

Because of the restrictions on voting by domestic fans, many fans' enthusiasm for voting has dropped a lot, and some even sneered at those who insisted on voting, thinking they were too cheap.

"People don't want to see you, and don't like to take you to play, why are you working so hard?"

When it comes to making money, the more Hua Guo fans, the better.

If you feel that your own interests have been damaged, you think there are too many Chinese people.

What is a double standard?

Some people also like to talk about "do as the Romans do when you go to the countryside" and "do things according to other people's rules when you are on other people's land", so they deceive themselves.

In fact, domestic fans are a bit tougher, and maybe they can make people look up.

Although Li Chengming's words would not bring about any change, they gave many people an outlet to vent their grievances.

"Fuck, Li Chengming's words really touched my heart, and I'll be your fan from now on. Fat brother, fat brother forever!"

"Fat brother really dare to say that although it is useless, it is impossible for others to change it. I am worried that fat brother will offend others by saying this, what should I do if I wear small shoes for him in the future?"

"Are you saying that, as if you don't wear small shoes now? You can see it in the Magic's recent games. The league doesn't want Li Chengming to win the best rookie."

"Yeah, the penalty is too double-standard. Not to mention comparing with the opponent, but comparing with other people in my team, they are all different."

"Isn't this just like Dayao?"

"Hey, just thinking about it makes me very angry, but there's nothing I can do about it. It's indeed their territory, and we can only do things according to their rules. It's a pity that we, Xibi, don't live up to it."

"The NBA is nothing special. They are only the third and fourth leagues in their country, and it's just a group of people in the country to praise their stinky feet."

"If I want to buy something endorsed by Fat Brother, I must support him."

"That's right, support Fat Brother, count me in!"

"+1"

……

With the Olympic Games approaching, especially in the past six months, a sentiment called "nationalism" has gradually risen.

I used to think that the moon in foreign countries is relatively round. It seems that everything in foreign countries is good. If you say it is not good, it will be considered sour.

But when foreign exchanges increase, when we see more, listen more, and understand more deeply, the direction of the wind changes quietly.

There is no way to deceive everyone anymore with things like neon summer camp.

Li Chengming still doesn't know that he has unintentionally gained a large number of fans in China. Although it seems meaningless, because these people are probably just numbers and can't even contribute a dime, but this feeling is slow. Slowly accumulating, it will gradually become a kind of feeling in the future.

Just like the current feelings for Hong Kong movies and Hong Kong Island movies, a large number of Hong Kong people can easily find jobs when they go north.

There were no activities for him during the day the next day, and it was relatively easy. He didn’t go out to play, and there was nothing interesting on the ground in New Orleans, not Los Angeles or New York.

Then at night, the next day's game started, and he, like Lewis and Nelson, became a spectator.

Although there are not many players from the Magic team participating in the All-Star Weekend this time, their presence was full during the three nights of the All-Star Weekend. Li Chengming in the Rookie Game on the first day, and Li Chengming in the Slam Dunk Contest on the second day. Howard, on the third day, the two will participate in the race together.

There are different events for the three days of the All-Star Weekend. The second day is mainly about individual events, such as the Shooting Star Contest, the Skills Challenge, the Three-Point Contest, and the most important slam dunk contest.

Traditionally, the slam dunk contest and the All-Star Game are also the three most eye-catching events of the All-Star Weekend.

The San Antonio team represented by Duncan won the shooting star, and the skill challenge was a duel between four top guards. In the end, Kidd and Wade were eliminated first. Paul's magical law.

In the three-point contest, Gibson regretted not being able to continue his fiery touch in the rookie game. Dirk Nowitzki, who replaced Kobe, also came to have fun. Winner of the three-point contest.

Then came the highlight of the night, the dunk contest.
