Don't talk trash to him.

Chapter 106: Prepare to send the old man to retire one year early

After Kobe heard the news, he looked at the reporter with some surprise for a long time. Judging from his expression, he seemed to want to ask:
"Are you kidding me?"

The point is not that Su Wan scored 54 points in three quarters, but that the 19-year-old Su Wan scored 54 points in three quarters!
If he had just scored 54 points in three ordinary quarters, Kobe would have said very arrogantly: All I need is hands.

But the 19-year-old Suwan did it. Kobe asked himself at the age of 19 whether he could have done it.

He knew how difficult it was.

At the same time, he felt a little regretful that he should have insisted on his own decision and returned in the away game against the Pacers.

Every chance to play against someone like Su Wan must be cherished, because who knows when he will fall. - If Su Wan knew that Kobe thought of him like this, he would definitely say in a friendly way: Don't worry, at least I can control my own belt!
But soon, he no longer had this concern. The reporter relayed Artest's evaluation of Suwan. Hearing that Suwan was a hardworking person, Kobe immediately found a sense of identity: "So, God will not disappoint everyone who works hard. And those who ignore these, even if they are living well now, will suffer the consequences sooner or later."

The latter part of the sentence was meaningful. The Heat locked up the first place in the Eastern Conference two days ago. Shaquille O'Neal was so excited in front of the media: "Let's see where the Lakers are now without the great Shaq. OMG, I can't even see its name. This is the result of abandoning Shaq and trusting a young boy!"

Therefore, in the past two days, Kobe has taken advantage of the opportunity to make some comments.

It is well known that "Shark" does not like to train.

Allen Iverson, the first person in history to hold this record, also said frankly: "Su's situation was even more difficult than mine. He was only 19 years old, which was incredible. I had a feeling that he would perform even better in two years when he was my age. He already had signs of becoming a great player!"

"The Answer" has a very high opinion of Su Wan.

There are two reasons:
The first is that it is really difficult for a rookie to score 50 points in a single game; the second is that Suwan mentioned from time to time some time ago that "I want to be the starter of the Eastern Conference All-Star Game with Allen Iverson", which moved him. He thought he was Suwan's idol, and as an idol, he naturally had to give the highest evaluation to "high-quality fans".

Think about it, those who like Allen Iverson will become superstars in the league in the future...

What an interesting topic!
Allen Iverson is a free and easy person, and he is also an ordinary person. Ordinary people will have vanity.

When Wade heard the news, his eyes widened bigger than his cheeks: "Incredible, Su always shocks us. This is just another time. I think he is the most shocking rookie in the 21st century. He deserves the title of 'Rookie of the Year' this year."

If he were to give a score, he couldn't give 9 points this time, it had to be a full points!

He mentioned the topic of "Best Rookie". In fact, many media also mentioned this topic. After Suwan scored 54 points in a single game, they all thought that the discussion on this topic was completely over.

Bill Walton said: "Game over. We all don't like a TV show with a perfect ending to have a second season. It will ruin the good impression in our hearts. The same is true for the discussion of this season's best rookie. It is meaningless to discuss Okafor's possibility of winning the 'best rookie'."

Even Okafor himself was also frustrated when he was interviewed yesterday: "When your opponent plays like this, you have no choice but to say congratulations to him. It is frustrating not to get the 'Best Rookie', but losing to Sue makes this result not so difficult to accept!"

These are all voices of praise.

There are also those who are sour, such as Popovich, who said: "If Tim Duncan wanted it, he would have done it long before the Chinese newcomers. He knows very well that such a record is meaningless. He knows that team victory is more important than anything else."

Coincidentally, his former head coach Larry Brown also expressed disdain: "Rookies always like to show off. Only at a certain stage in their careers will they understand that the championship is the most important and the only honor a player should pursue. Nothing else matters."

Su Wan was not surprised by the reactions of these two "sour guys".

Popovich ignored it and was not sure whether he would meet them in the playoffs.

Even if we encounter it, it will be in June.

But Larry Brown...

This is the opponent we will meet in the second round of the playoffs.

Su Wan said: "Larry Brown has shown his contemptuous attitude towards rookies as always. This is why Darko is a 'golden boy' in Europe but a 'parallel import' in his hands. Do you know what I dislike most about him? He looks like an old-fashioned head coach, and his authority is above all else. But when Allen Iverson missed training, he bowed his head. He could only show his right to speak in front of the rookies, which is why the Dream Team was eliminated early in the Olympics this year..."

"I'm very curious. A head coach like him is so harsh on rookies in front of the camera. What about him in private on the training ground? Will he say something unsightly? I'm not targeting him deliberately. This is just a reasonable suspicion."

"If I were Darko and I couldn't focus on my training because of this guy's personal attack, I would definitely record everything with a recorder and make it public to ruin his reputation. I would definitely do it!"

The reporters were confused by these words. They wanted to say:
Man, what the hell are you talking about?
Su Wan looked at their expressions and reiterated: "I just have reasonable doubts and reasonable suggestions."

When these words reached Detroit, they really aroused Larry Brown's rage: "This is slander, this young newcomer is so insidious, he..." A lot of taboo words almost came out of his mouth, but he swallowed them back into his stomach.

It was a close call, his true colors were almost revealed.

The reason why he was so angry was very simple:
I felt so guilty that I jumped up and down.

People who are very controlling often have this problem when faced with developments that are beyond their control.

Like Michael Jordan in his ominous later years.

The victim was the famous 01 No. pick Kwame Brown.

We can't speculate whether Brown would have played well if he hadn't met Jordan, but one thing is certain: Jordan did affect Brown's normal growth.

Milicic also heard Suwan's advice to him, and he immediately felt like he had met a soulmate.

He really wanted to call Su Wan immediately, if he had Su Wan's phone number:

How did you know?
Larry Brown made a brutal personal attack on me!

Yes, I must record it next time...

As for when the next time will be, Milicic is really not sure. Larry Brown has completely given up on him and lets him despair, not even bothering to scold him.

I wish I had met Su Wan earlier.

It's not that he didn't think about exposing Larry Brown's ugly face in front of the media, but General Manager Joe Dumars was in cahoots with Larry Brown, and the rest of the team didn't dare to resist Larry Brown. Because of Larry Brown's targeting of him, these people didn't say a word to him during his rookie season. The first person on the Pistons who spoke to him was Rasheed Wallace, who transferred from the Hawks to Detroit after the All-Star Weekend last season. He is an absolutely good person.

This is quite ironic. Larry Brown is regarded as a highly respected head coach by the outside world, Ben Wallace is the representative of hard work, Billups is also the "representative of persistence" who "lives a second life", and Rasheed Wallace is the "roaring god" and the league's "technical foul king".

But in Milicic's eyes, Rasheed Wallace is the best one among them.

Su Wan had no idea what kind of commotion his words caused in Detroit, but he could probably guess it.

Larry Brown must be furious. As for whether Milicic will adopt his advice...

In Su Wan’s opinion, it depends on the timing.

"Little Potato" Robinson publicly denounced Larry Brown's "personal attacks" on him in front of the media. This was when Larry Brown moved to New York and the Knicks' record still did not improve and they were ridiculed by the New York media.

His timing was extremely accurate, and that was the low point in Larry Brown's career.

Because his departure from Detroit was a "stab in the back" in a sense, he finalized a new contract with the New York Knicks management in advance while the Pistons were still playing in the finals.

If even the New York media attacks him, he is truly in a state of "isolation and helplessness".

Nate Robinson took the opportunity to step on it.

If it were Larry Brown in 04, I'm afraid "Little Potato" might not dare to criticize Larry Brown in front of the media.

So Su Wan estimated that he would have to find this opportunity for Milicic in the end.

Now it depends on whether this "fake second pick" can collect evidence of Larry Brown's guilt during this period of time. After all, Nate Robinson has skin protection. Once he says racism, the "Ni Ge Association" will protect him. Milicic is an outsider like Suwan and needs evidence to prove everything.

I hope he won't let Su Wan down.

As long as the two of them cooperate well "across the air" this time, Su Wan is confident that he can send the old man Larry Brown to "retire" one year in advance.

This saved the New York Knicks from a disaster. It's a pity that the "Big Apple" didn't know about Suwan's contribution to them, so...

It shouldn't be too much to beat you up today, right?
The Knicks are currently ranked 1th in the Eastern Conference. What's outrageous is that the total salary spent by the New York Knicks this year is 258 million!
You read that right. In this era when the salary cap is only 4387 million, the New York Knicks spent 1 million to build the team this season, and yet only ranked th in the Eastern Conference.

Spend the most money and fight the hardest!
It's not just this season, it's been like this for the past few years.

The slogan "Dolan people are stupid and have a lot of money, brothers who want to make money come quickly" has also spread in recent years.

The New York Knicks were a powerhouse in the league in the late 90s. They had been eliminated from the NBA Finals and made it to the finals. It was not until 01 that Ewing's form completely declined and he was sent away by management. The Knicks then entered a period of rebuilding.

As for the candidate for the rebuilding period, Dolan very wisely chose the "Smiling Assassin" Thomas. He felt that the Pacers' rise was all due to Thomas.

As a result, Thomas proved that Dolan was not only "stupid and rich", but also had a terrible vision.

The darkest period for the Knicks in the 00s was due to Thomas' misbehavior.

His team-building philosophy is to "buy, buy, buy" in various ways. As long as a player is a little famous, regardless of physical condition or age, he will renew his contract and buy him. As a result, the New York Knicks this season have Allen Houston, who is worth 1743 million, and Anfernee Hardaway, who is worth 1463 million. The total amount of players who were written off for these two seasons alone reached 3200 million.

What is this concept...

Let’s put it this way!

The current starting lineup of the Pacers includes O'Neal Jr., whose salary this year is 1480 million, Reggie Miller, 550 million, Stephen Jackson, 510 million, Jeff Foster, 450 million, Tinsley, 155 million, and Suwan, 187 million... The total salary of the five people added up is only 5 million.

In other words, the salaries of these two resting players alone are enough to buy the Pacers' starting lineup.

This shows how aggressive Thomas is.

Judging from the results of Thomas and Jordan managing the team, even though these "big black guys" were calm and composed on the court, they still had a kind of beauty of brainstem missing when they reached the management level, and "Magic" Johnson later proved this.

Most black people can only do jobs that are related to their physical talents.

Otherwise... just go rap.

The gap in strength between the two teams is too big, and this game should be the kind of game that the outside world doesn't care about at all.

But the fact is that it attracted a lot of attention.

Not just because of Suwan, but also because this was Reggie Miller's last visit to Madison Square Garden in his career.

When this former New York's biggest "enemy" walked out of the visiting team's player tunnel, there was a huge cheer and applause at the scene. The famous New York fan Spector Lee even hugged Reggie Miller, which seemed to mean that they could forget their grudges with a smile. - Miller's famous "chokehold" was performed in this arena, facing Spector Lee and all New Yorkers. He also completed a "Miller moment" against the New York team, which was even more legendary than the "McGrady moment": 8.9 points in 8 seconds.

Moreover, the "McGrady Moment" is just a regular season game, but the "Miller Moment" is born on the stage of the playoffs, which is another level of competition.

Just look at the attitude of New York fans at this moment. There are not many players in the entire NBA who can make them take the trouble to prepare cheers.

Although the "New York Fan Recognition Award" is not a big deal, it is still better than the "Most Beautiful Calf Award".

When it comes to leadership ability, Reggie Miller is far better than McGrady.

Today’s first update, the playoff plot is coming soon, rubbing my hands excitedly, just do it.
