Chapter 188 [Whoever dares to show his teeth will have his mouth smashed]
"Good morning."
On the early morning flight to Detroit, Susie greeted Reggie Miller, who was waking up with a cup of coffee.Reggie quickly patted the seat next to him and said to Su Xi: "Jack, sit here."
Su Xi usually sits in an exclusive seat in the back. He likes to close his eyes and relax during away flights.And Reggie Miller is a talker. He always talks endlessly about all kinds of trivial things.
Reggie Miller and Su Xi's impression of NBA superstars are completely different.The NBA superstars in my impression are all big spenders and generous.Reggie Miller is a bit like the lady behind the kitchen in a Chinatown restaurant, her mouth is rarely closed.
Therefore, O'Neal Jr. and others often suggest that Reggie Miller become a commentator after retiring.
Uh….
Indiana went to Detroit not long ago. Su Xi thought about it and sat next to Miller.
Miller talked endlessly. He started talking about his basketball career, how he worked hard to get up step by step, how he entered the NBA, and how he counterattacked step by step.Then we talked about a commonplace topic.
"Jack, I want to retire with a championship." Miller looked at Su Xi affectionately: "We must work hard this time. God told me that this is the closest I can get to a championship. Jack, Can you do your best in every next game and score 120 percent?"
What is this called.
Su Xi's eyebrows wrinkled slightly.
"I know very well that you are the only possibility for us to defeat the Pistons. Only if you perform well can we have a chance to win." Reggie Miller said to Su Xi sincerely. He really regarded Su Xi as his lifesaver. straw.
Su Xi said don't worry, the championship is equally important to me, maybe more important than to you.
Miller finally calmed down, but he was wondering: You are just a rookie, do you desire a championship more than me?
Then, Miller took the initiative to talk to Su Xi about his skills in practicing shooting without the ball. He spoke very seriously and meticulously.He sincerely hopes that Su Xi's shooting ability can be further improved. The stronger Su Xi is, the greater his chance of winning the championship.
At this time, Su Xi suddenly asked him a question: "Reggie, are you willing to teach me your shooting skills and experience without reservation?"
"Of course. This is related to my championship. You'd better surpass me completely." Reggie Miller answered naturally.
blurted out.
However, Su Xi did not feel the talent being passed on.
This shows that Reggie Miller is not who he says he is.
Miller still has reservations. This is normal human logic. Who would really support his juniors without any reservations?Chinese craftsmen always retain their skills when imparting their skills.
Su Xi smiled and patted Miller on the shoulder: "It seems that you don't really want the championship."
Ok?
Miller was a little surprised, although he felt a little guilty.He no longer looked directly into Su Xi's eyes. He felt that Su Xi could see through him.
During the second half of the flight, their chat was a little sparse. They only talked about the weather in Indiana and New Jersey, and asked about Chinese food... Su Xi also knew little about Chinese food, after all, he came to the United States when he was nine years old.
As a result, the chat content seems dry.
...
Su Xi was interviewed by CCTV at the Marriott Hotel in Detroit.With the Athens Olympics approaching, more and more domestic sports fans are looking forward to whether Susi can enter the national team.
During this process, a basketball association official made a ridiculous statement: If he really wanted to come back to play, he should join the training team now. Can we give up the NBA games? What else is more important than the Olympics?Yao Ming has come back, why doesn't he come back?
This statement has even formed some support in China, and everyone does not know much about the NBA.This is why Wang Zhizhi was called a 'rebellion' when he asked to play in the summer league.
Su Xi has been in phone contact with Wang Zhizhi of the Heat. Su Xi hopes to join the team with him, so that he can be more competitive.
Su Xi is purely thinking in terms of team building.
But obviously, it is more difficult for Dazhi to go back.
Su Xi answered this question very frankly: "I want to play well in the playoffs now, and then talk about joining the national team. Before, my agent told me that there were some administrative resistance for me to join the national team. I’m not sure that resistance has gone away yet.”
"I am very, very, very willing to represent the national team."
Su Xi expressed her attitude.
Later, Su Xi talked about something about the playoffs.
As the first Chinese player to lead a team to the Eastern Conference Finals in the NBA, Su Xi has received overwhelming attention and popularity in China.
The whole of Asia is proud of him, and some Japanese media even called him No. 1 in Asian sports.
The sales volume of Su Xi's sneakers in Asia is far ahead of any current star's, and it is the most popular sneaker ever.
This is why Nike is willing to spend money without any delay.The question now is whether Su Xi can lead the team to the finals and win the finals MVP.
Nike's internal forecast is very difficult and can be described as a regional level.
Because the current mainstream basketball circle is not optimistic about whether the Pacers can defeat the Pistons.
If the probability of defeating the Pistons is 40%, then the probability of entering the Finals and defeating the Lakers will drop to less than 5%.
Therefore, Nike is not very worried about paying another 1000 million US dollars.
After Su Xi finished the interview, she received a call from Scarlett. Scarlett said that she had purchased tickets for two consecutive away games and she was very excited.
She showed the momentum to face the Devil's home court with Su Xi.
Women are always like this, they always have a spirit of 'I want to defy the whole world with my lover' in their hearts.
This spirit often makes them blind in the process of choosing a mate. Many women even break up with their original families because of this... but the final result is often a complete defeat.
Scarlett is currently filming the location of her new movie. Her popularity has not declined because of her relationship. Once a sexy female star like her gets involved in a scandal, and it is a very "catchy" scandal, it is simply like It's a bug.
The popularity is rising.
After all, Su Xi is a piece of cake for the entertainment industry: handsome, dashing, healthy, energetic, and full of 'aura' that attracts women.
If the basketball circle respects Susie as much as the entertainment circle, Jordan is likely to wake up and find that his historical status has dropped one place.
...
Detroit did not welcome Suhi, and the auto workers were powerful. They chanted slogans and cursed Suhi in front of the Auburn Palace before the game started.
Suhi stole the show last time at the Palace of Auburn Hills, winning the ball and giving Ben Wallace a concussion.
This made the entire state of Michigan shocked and angry. These blue-collar workers were deeply humiliated and they desperately hoped that the team would tear Su Xi to pieces and ravage Su Xi's pretty face.
Auto workers don't like Yangchun Baixue, and they can't appreciate Su Xi's handsome face.
Moreover, they firmly believed that Su Xi would be beaten so hard at the Auburn Hills Palace that she would flee in panic with her tail between her legs.
This is why they clamored so wildly under the TNT camera.
"Fu-ck...SuXi!"
"Fuck you Susie the sheep."
"We're going to kick the goat's balls out."
"I'm your daddy, Suzy the Sheep!"
"..."
Su Xi saw this scene on TNT, where a group of crazy Pistons fans sprayed the camera.They wore the jerseys of Wallace, Billups and even Isiah Thomas in the past, showing their restless side. "very funny."
Suhi told Charles Barkley, who came to interview him: "They have a lot of spirit."
Barkley asked him: "Don't you feel threatened? The Palace of Auburn Hills is one of the most terrifying home stadiums in the league. These guys are very good at creating an atmosphere of fear. Aren't you worried about being interfered by them and the quality of the game declining?"
"I don't have any worries about this." Su Xi said: "If they have this strength, why don't they show it in the regular season?"
"However, the Pistons are very confident now. Rasheed Wallace is back in the camp, and the mainstream media believe that the Pistons will come back and win this series. Are you not worried about this at all?" Barkley continued to ask.
Su Xi replied: "I'm not worried. I'm just a little confused. Do the basketball experts in the mainstream media have an accountability system? For example, will their salary be affected if their predictions are wrong?"
"I don't mean anything else. I just said... If a basketball player doesn't play well, the statistics will reflect it, and the failure will be engraved on his back. So... should we also create a database for basketball experts? Specifically listing their predictions The number of successes or failures, so...maybe able to shut up some ignorant people."
Su Xi in turn gave the media an idea.
Buckley couldn't help but give a thumbs up.He liked the suggestion.
However, there will definitely be many people who don't like it, because this is an idea that will ruin people's jobs.
The pre-match interview ended quickly.
As night fell, so did the game known as the 'Pistons Counterattack Horn'.
07:30 PM Eastern Time.
There was shouting and killing in the Palace Arena of Auburn Hills, in this messy sound field environment.
People saw the beautiful figure of Scarlett Johansson on TNT TV. She and Hilary Duff came to the sidelines together. They were beautiful scenery and lit up the dim car city.
Scarlett, who was wearing tight jeans and Su Xi's No. 33 jersey, looked sexy and fresh. She blew a kiss to Su Xi before sitting down.
This caused many Detroit fans on the sidelines to break the defense.
They yelled.
Do not!
No!
Scarlett, you have to leave that pretty boy.
This kid is simply not good enough for you.
They were as excited as if their girlfriend had been snatched away.
But that doesn't change anything.
They could only boo and curse even louder when Su Xi came on the stage.
Su Xi's face was calm.
When passing Billups, Billups said to him: "You are going to run into the biggest trouble of your career tonight."
"We're going to tear you apart," Rasheed Wallace also uttered vicious trash talk.
After entering the NBA for just one season, Su Xi could not bear to hear such words.
Therefore, he replied coldly: "Fuck you, you are just a bunch of people who have been swept away."
The more lethal trash talk is, the better.
Sure enough, Rasheed Wallace broke through the defense. He adjusted his breathing, his chest still heaving, and he said fiercely: "You are the most arrogant rookie I have ever seen. Just wait and see, you will die without a burial tonight." .”
beep!
The whistle sounded and the game officially started.
Rasheed Wallace and Foster jumped the ball, and Foster passed the basketball to Suhi.
Su Xi got the basketball and he accelerated suddenly.
Although the audience was booed and cursed, his pace became more fierce and brave.
Billups tried to force a stop at the three-point line, but was directly knocked away by Su Xi who was going all out. Su Xi went further into the penalty area.
His eyes were focused on the basket.
Rasheed Wallace tried to chase and block the shot from behind, but was blocked by Artest, and Ben Wallace failed to catch up.
Su Xi cut straight into the penalty area, Bao jumped up, and Prince flew from one side to block the shot.
But when their bodies collided in the air, Su Xi had already completed a dunk.
Like pear blossoms in a rainstorm...Prince's thin body was bounced in the air. He still tried hard to interfere with his long arms...but Su Xi violently suppressed it with the ball in his right hand. He couldn't stop it at all...even though he knew the height of Su Xi's bounce. Not high, and his interference was very successful.
However, if you can't prevent it, you can't prevent it.
Strength is an insurmountable gap!
boom!
Dunks happen.
Su Xi's right hand smashed the basketball with a roar.
Susie announced his return to the Palace of Auburn Hills with a powerful, violent, and domineering dunk: Im...back!
呲!
Suhi's signature shoe made a crisp sound when it rubbed against the floor, and it also broke the hearts of many Pistons fans.
When Su Xi raised her hands in the air, making a celebratory gesture.
The 2 people at the Palace of Auburn Hills were like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, their fur instantly exploded and they screamed.
Their boos and insults were louder, harsher and harsher.
However, Su Xi smiled.
He even held a beautiful and elegant flower in the air with his right hand.
Su Xi is different from other superstars of the new generation. When they first arrived, they seemed shy and shy. They allowed themselves to be booed and cursed and rarely fought back.
But Su Xi seems to be here to rectify the alliance.
If you dare to show your teeth, I will break your mouth.
"What does it mean to be domineering and leaky?"
Barkley took a tactical step back in the commentary box and told the audience in front of the TV: "Michael Jordan didn't dare to be so arrogant in Detroit back then. Scottie Pippen even had a psychological shadow from the Pistons."
"So you mean Jack is better than Jordan?" Kenny Smith has a very good ability to catch words.
"If you only look at the first season, I don't think Jack is weaker than Jordan's first season. If Jack leads the team to defeat the Pistons, then I think he is indeed better than Jordan's first season!"
Charles Barkley said with certainty: "I am the same rookie as Jordan, and I am more qualified than you to say this. Jordan is great, but his greatness was only confirmed after two three consecutive championships were established. In Before he won the championship, he was just an ordinary superstar."
Barkley compared Suzy to Jordan.
This is the first time in Su Xi's career that someone has made such a comparison.
