Chapter 304 Targeted Arrangements(1/2)
Author: Feng Yuanhua
After arriving at the training ground, Wang Hao found today's newspaper and saw yesterday's interview about Iverson.
Sure enough, the reporter kept provoking Iverson and even made Iverson a little angry.
However, under the guidance of reporters, Iverson said this.
"Although Wang is very good, he only knows how to shoot. This is simply the behavior of a weakling."
As for the reason, naturally the reporter mentioned Iverson's playing attitude and single offensive method during the interview.
Perhaps, these are not Iverson's original words, and may even be embellished by reporters.
Not only that, even if it was Wang Hao's answer today, he only said one thing: At least I can win the game.
Tomorrow, who knows how the media will add fuel to the fire.
However, there is nothing we can do about it.
It was impossible for Wang Hao not to respond, even if he knew that this was done deliberately by media reporters.
Sure enough, on January 4, the day of the game, the media approached Iverson again.
I don’t know what the reporter said. It is said that Iverson was very angry and threatened to win the game.
Not only did he win the game, he meant to teach Wang Hao a lesson.
See, this is the role of American journalists and media.
Why did the OK combination fall apart? Why did Durant finally leave the Warriors?
Media reporters deserve the most credit!
To say that Dream Chaser Green drove away Durant, to be honest, this is a bit too much.
Green is indeed a loudmouth and speaks unabashedly, but this is not the first day Durant knows this.
It's really just because of the media reports, all kinds of exaggerated remarks, constantly adding fuel to the flames.
Which ultimately led to Durant leaving.
Dream Green is just the fuse, and the media reporters are the amplifiers, amplifying a small firecracker into a bomb.
But, it doesn't matter.
Anyway, the Sonics are not going to admit defeat in this game. If the numbers team wants to win, it depends on their ability.
On the day of the game, Wang Hao had just arrived at the Key Arena, and a group of people immediately gathered around him.
"Wang, Allen said that he will teach you a lesson in this game and win this game. Do you have any response?"
"I have nothing to respond to. As for the result of the game, we will know it in two or three hours. There is no need to worry."
Without further delay, with the help of security personnel, Wang Hao quickly got rid of the reporters.
However, when he first arrived in the gym, many teammates looked at him with curiosity.
"Wang, I support you, that little dwarf is nothing special!"
Others will estimate Wang Hao's thoughts and dare not speak. Gary Payton, as the big brother, doesn't care about so much.
"But Wang, you have to be careful. Allen has a lot of fans. Next time you go to Philadelphia, they will greet you well."
This is not nonsense, even if Iverson's All-Star votes are not as good as Carter and Kobe.
But Iverson's popularity is not bad at all, especially among the black community.
Wang Hao said helplessly: "Get rid of Gary, I didn't say anything."
Seeing Wang Hao's helpless look, Gary Payton burst out laughing and said.
"Brother, do you now know how difficult the media is? These guys will do anything for the sake of news.
I know, NBA players know it, but it’s a pity that fans don’t know it.”
Wang Hao spread his hands helplessly. This was really an unforeseen disaster. He only heard Gary Payton continue to say.
"Don't worry too much. It's not a big deal. As I said just now, it's enough to teach the little dwarf a lesson."
There is a reason why Gary Payton is so positive. There is actually some grudge between him and Iverson.
It is not difficult to imagine that, after all, in the same position, one is the hardest shield and the other is the sharpest spear.
There are many comparisons between the two.
Not only that, but Gary Payton's big mouth and Iverson's unruly attitude also brewed some grudges.
"Allen is not that easy to deal with."
Gary Payton pointed to the head coach and said: "It doesn't matter, I think Paul already has a solution."
Although the digital team's record this season is very poor, after all, they are the team in last year's finals.
The SuperSonics' goal is directly towards the championship, so it is naturally impossible to turn a blind eye to the digital team.
Naturally, Paul Westphal has done research on Iverson.
Paul Westphal smiled proudly and said, "It's not that easy for that unruly little guy to win."
One was his favorite disciple, and the other didn't even know him. Paul Westphal naturally had a choice.
"TNT, this is TNT."
Ever since Buckley became the commentator for TNT and completely let himself go, the ratings have been pretty good.
No, this is another crucial game, and TNT's commentary partners are still Kenny Smith and Charles Barkley.
"Charles, tell me, who do you like more today?"
"Wang, of course it's Wang, I'm already his fan."
Kenny Smith was a little speechless, no, you make it difficult for me to choose!
Judging from the record of the Digital Team, to be honest, he is not optimistic that the Digital Team can take away victory from Seattle.
"Charles, the Digital Team is your home team. Do you just not support them?"
"Kenny, you know I have feelings for the numbers team, that was the beginning of my career.
However, as a fair commentator, I must look at this issue from an objective and impartial position.
The numbers team is very good, but they are in trouble this year, and the Sonics, they are in great shape."
Hearing Barkley's words, Kenny Smith was very disdainful. You are the only one who has the nerve to say it is fair and just.
As for the relationship between Barkley and the Philadelphia Digital Team, it is not as emotional as he said.
You know, when Barkley joined the Suns, he made a fuss about leaving the team.
He also made some sarcastic comments about the Digital Team.
However, the relationship between Barkley and the digital team has indeed eased a lot.
This is naturally not because the grudges are forgotten with a smile, but because the Digital Team retired Barkley's jersey last year.
Yes, it is so realistic!
Amid the debate between the two, the game officially started, with both sides starting the same game as before.
Needless to say about the Sonics, as for the numbers team,
Iverson is naturally the absolute core, and inside is the offensive and defensive combination of Mutombo and Derek Coleman.
As for the forward and defensive line, there is a combination of two strong defensive players, Eric Snow and Matt Halprin.
To be honest, this lineup of the Digital Team is actually not bad based on the individual strength of the players.
However, after putting these people together, it seems that they cannot produce the desired effect.
Mutombo took the lead and grabbed the first opportunity for the digital team to attack.
"Oh, Wang didn't choose to defend the AI. It's a pity that we may not be able to see the conversation between the two."
Commentators from major TV stations almost all said this with some disappointment.
In the spirit of watching the excitement, they naturally hope to see a direct confrontation between Wang Hao and Iverson.
It's a pity that I can't see it anymore!
Of course Wang Hao is not that stupid. The so-called duel is not necessary. Winning is the key.
Well, he actually didn't have the information to guard Iverson.
In other words, no one in the entire NBA can guard Iverson one-on-one.
It's just that, just because you can't defend one on one, doesn't mean you can't defend a group of people.
Even if he still can't prevent it, he can at least reduce Iverson's offensive efficiency as much as possible.
Once Iverson's offensive efficiency drops, the entire digital team will be affected.
Standing in front of Iverson is naturally Gary Payton.
"Come on, man, let me see what you've got."
