TNT sideline reporters took the opportunity to finally interview Su Xi before the game started. She took the time to ask three simple questions.
"Jake, when you challenged Chris Webber, did you ever think it would be like this?"
The background sound is the uniform cry of Arco Arena: Fu-ck! 'Su-Xi'!
Su Xi's calm expression appeared on the TNT screen, and viewers across the United States saw Su Xi's answer: "I don't think about these things. I do what I should do."
"So do you regret that statement? Now, the entire basketball world is concerned about tonight's game? Do you feel a lot of pressure?" Miller then asked. She was very fond of this handsome and calm young man, so she did not deliberately ask difficult questions to answer, and even thought about helping Su Xi repair her media image.
However, Su Xi shook his head, and there was even a smile on his handsome face: "There is nothing to regret. The person who should regret is Chris Webber, he should not make such a heavy bet. This game will make him originally It just makes our image worse. I'm just an honest kid pointing out that the king has no clothes."
Forehead….
Cheryl Miller was stunned for three or four seconds. She didn't expect this handsome little guy to be so confident. She finally understood why many people said that he looked like her brother Reggie Miller. This guy was even more arrogant than Reggie. Even when disaster was approaching, he still had a tough mouth.
I can't even save him.
She asked the last question: "Won't the shouting of more than 20,000 people at the scene affect your game?"
Su Xi smiled, and he showed the smile of a high-quality idol. Even male fans sitting in front of the TV couldn't help but admire: This guy is so handsome that he threatens me.
Not to mention female fans, when has such a handsome player appeared in the NBA? This guy is worthy of winning the World Beauty Contest. He is handsome yet tough, profound yet elegant, and his whole body exudes a charming hormonal aura.
Who can stop it.
Jessica Alba is still lying in bed recuperating.
However, Su Xi's words made everyone feel that this handsome guy was indeed a bit 'sleazy'.
"No. My teammates told me that this is a bit like a gubernatorial election. The other camp will also hold a banner and shout, roar, and curse in unison during the rally."
"But when the results come out, they will know who is the governor of California and who is the person who governs them."
Su Xi's interview was broadcast 10 minutes before the game started.
After Kenny Smith watched this interview, he shouted in the studio: Hey, hey, hey! Who does this kid think he is? Did he put himself into the role of Michael Jordan? Michael Jordan is not as arrogant as him, he is more like Larry Bird! Only Larry Bird is so arrogant, but why does he look like Larry Bird?
Kenny Smith clearly put himself in the shoes of a Kings fan, and he complained loudly.
This made Bird in front of the TV very happy. He raised his eyebrows: Yes, this kid is just like me. Handsome, dashing, domineering, and arrogant.
"Rick, Reggie, I like this kid more and more." He turned around and told the other two people in the office, Pacers coach Rick Carlisle and Pacers team soul Reggie Miller.
Carlisle frowned slightly. Reggie Miller nodded excitedly: "Yes, Larry, I like this little guy too. He and I are the same kind of people, go to hell Chris Webber, what kind of abuse in the audience, I am the governor of California. Playing basketball, no How can I overthrow the domineering spirit that dominates the entire scene?"
At this moment, Charles Barkley was also emboldening Susie on TV. He said: "I like him! I hope he can be successfully elected as the governor of California. I hope he will use practical actions to tell Chris Webber: You will regret your bet from the beginning!" "
"This only happens in dreams."
Biting sarcasm next to Kenny Smith.
After TNT entered a commercial, the game officially started.
The screen is projected onto the court, with players from both sides standing on both sides of the midline, preparing to jump the ball.
At this time, the entire audience was still roaring excitedly: Fu-ck! 'Su-Xi'! Fu-ck! 'Su-Xi'!
They obviously regard this as a kind of happy and cathartic game.
They didn't care whether it offended Su Xi.
The other Cavaliers players couldn't help but frown and look at Su Xi, but Su Xi was as calm as ever, with no emotion on his face. This made everyone sigh that his psychological quality is really good.
In Su Xi's heart, he has long regarded himself as the next basketball god. Since he wants to rule the entire alliance, what does this mean? Kenny Smith said that Su Xi was so arrogant because she thought of herself as Michael Jordan. No, Su Xi thought of herself as someone more powerful than Jordan. Otherwise, wouldn’t he be struck by lightning in vain?
"I'm going to kick your ass, rookie."
Before the jump ball, Chris Webber walked up to Su Xi and spoke harshly with his teeth clenched in his face.
Su Xi ignored him.
Actions speak louder than words.
The Cavaliers' starting lineup is: Suhi, LeBron James, Ricky Davis, Carlos Boozer, Ilgauskas.
The Kings' starting lineup is: Mike Bibby, Doug Christie, Stojakovic, Chris Webber, Brad Miller.
Brad Miller was traded from the Pacers through a three-party deal with the Kings this summer. He quickly became the team's new backbone at the 5th position. Divac is too old after all.
Snapped!
Ilgauskas used his height advantage to beat Brad Miller with a tiptoe jump ball.
Su Xi grabbed the basketball and pushed forward. Mike Bibby immediately came to defend, and he tried to give Suhi some confrontation in the center circle: to satisfy the fans who were shouting and killing.
Although he claims to be one-eighth of Chinese descent, this does not prevent him from taking care of Su Xi on the court.
He has always been known for his strength.
However, the moment he tried to force Su Xi back with his body, he felt overwhelming power.
Su Xi directly knocked away half of his body, and her explosive power and speed suddenly burst out. Mike Bibby curled up into a ball like a thrown condom. At that moment, he didn't even have the strength to move his legs.
Su Xi quickly reached the free throw line.
Chris Webber immediately moved laterally to defend him. He was a little fat and had a knee injury that bothered him last season. Therefore, his movement was not too fast, and Su Xi plunged in.
Although Weber is taller and has a more advantageous size.
But...aren't the 20,000 people at the Arco Arena shouting to fight and kill?
Then I will kill you for you to see!
puff!
Su Xi bumped into Weber violently, like a cannonball hitting a target. Weber couldn't stop taking half a step back. Su Xi quickly made a shooting movement, and Weber quickly got close to him, but the moment he opened his legs, Su Xi turned around... His body was extremely flexible and twisted and quickly rotated around Weber's body... Weber's slowness due to his knees and obesity made it impossible for him to keep up with Su Xi's weird, ballet-like movements.
The moment he passed Weber, Su Xi jumped up. Although his bounce was average, his explosive power was super. He jumped up and smashed the basketball into the basket with one hand... The height was a little reluctant, but it was full of power.
With the first goal of the game, Su Xi gave Weber a powerful blow!
This was unexpected.
The shouting and killing in the Arco Arena suddenly stopped, as if someone had blocked his throat with a thick stick, and Su Xi's domineering power burst out at this moment.
No one could have imagined that Su Xi's first goal was so fierce. Knocked away the strong point guard Mike Bibby, entered the penalty area and turned around to pass 5-time All-Star, 1-time rebounding champion, 1-time Rookie of the Year, 1-time All-NBA 1st Team, 3-time All-NBA 2nd Team, 1-time Chris Webber, a third-team All-NBA selection and two-time player of the month.
This is not showing off in front of the tiger. This is directly pulling out the tiger's whiskers.
Su Xi jumped off the basket and glared at Weber. He made a move that made the audience booed and cursed him. He bent down and raised his right hand to his knee: "That's just your level now!"
Weber was about to rush to teach Susie a lesson, but Brad Miller held him back.
Su Xi didn't take Weber's attitude seriously: "You can't fight, even less."
Susie's arrogance was transmitted to all parts of the United States through cameras.
In fact, it has also been passed on to thousands of households across the ocean. It's just that neither the CCTV host nor the commentator explained this issue, even though there was a commotion online. They just said it lightly: "Susie had a verbal conflict with Weber before the game. It's normal to be a little arrogant."
This is the limit of CCTV scale.
The young people in front of the TV are full of emotions. They are fed up with being kind, courteous and thrifty, fed up with Yao Ming being provoked and repaying kindness with kindness. Every time they read the news about Yao Ming, they feel unhappy... Although Yao Ming handled it well and looked like an adult.
But why do you want to be an adult? Why should you repay evil with kindness?
Like Su Xi, if you offend me with just one word, I will fight you to the end, isn't it good?
Su Xi's dunk and low-key moves made him popular among young people.
At this time, some older and soft-headed fans will say: Su Xi is young and energetic, and will suffer a big loss sooner or later. Weber will definitely be back with a vengeance.
They always talk condescendingly about their life experiences, for fear of offending foreign adults, and they act like they want to teach others.
Little did they know that on the other side of the ocean, Charles Barkley slapped the table and shouted: "MAN! That's right! That's it!!"
"I like this kid, I like this kid, so I should say it back. Weber is no longer a genius. Don't you know what his athletic ability is like? You have to shut the mouth of Su Xi, the sheep. He thought he could easily defeat the little sheep Susie, but he didn’t expect this little guy to be so tough. If he wanted to eat him easily, he would be careful to break all his teeth.”
"Hohoho! The competition is exciting!"
Barkley was elated, and he inspired intense interest among neutral fans in front of their televisions.
Many people originally came to watch the debut of the chosen son James, but when the scolding battle between Webber and Su Xi was infinitely amplified by media public opinion, and Su Xi's face appeared on TV and said those words... people couldn't help but look forward to it. Get up Su Xi.
After all, with Su Xi's looks, she could play a leading role in Hollywood.
Nike founder Phil Knight was shaking his fist vigorously in front of the TV. He was so happy to see this scene: especially when Suhi was low, all the close-ups showed that Suhi was wearing a pair of Nike Hardaway series on his feet.
"Maybe it's time to give this guy a signature shoe."
Phil Knight thought so in his heart.
Chris Webber in the frontcourt got the basketball in the high post.
At this time, the fans at Arco Arena started shouting: Su-cks! Su-xi! Su-cks! Su-xi!
They couldn't wait for Chris Webber to beat up Susie and humiliate her severely. They couldn't accept such an arrogant rookie running wild on their king.
Just when everyone thought Su Xi would not defend.
Su Xi quickly switched defenses with James while running, and he came to Webber.
Chris Webber was once the most talented power forward in the league. He could play inside and outside, had a gorgeous style of play, could get to the basket for dunks, and score points through post-ups. He also had excellent support abilities. This is also the reason why in the past few years, surrounded by three super power forwards, Duncan, Nowitzki, and Garnett, he has won the best team a total of 5 times.
However, his knee problems have become more and more serious, he has lost a lot of explosive power, and his jumping height has also plummeted.
The reason why he dealt with a rookie with great fanfare this time was because he wanted to use this hype to prove that he was still as good as he was.
However, he encountered a problem.
The little sheep Susie is not a lamb, he is a wolf.
Su Xi stood in front of him and opened his arms, forming a huge defensive area. Su Xi's wingspan is extremely long compared to his height, his head is not big, but his shoulders are very broad... His height is less than 193cm, and his latest standing reach is 264cm. For comparison, Michael Jordan, who is considered the best player in basketball history, has a standing reach of 269. In terms of proportion, Su Xi's is even more amazing.
Therefore, even though Su Xi looks a head shorter than Weber, Weber still dare not easily make a pull-up jumper in front of Su Xi.
He knew that with his current explosiveness and jumping ability, this was not a safe distance, what if this kid blocked him directly.
Amid the screams and cheers of the audience, Webber quickly made an inward pass. He flicked it inward, then lowered his shoulders and quickly charged forward... This action dealt with the rash inside line. Players, very effective.
But Su Xi remained motionless.
When he lowered his head and charged forward, Su Xi turned sideways to press... Weber's strength was not bad and his size advantage was obvious.
However, Su Xi did not suffer much in the collision while in motion and was able to maintain defensive stickiness.
This means that Webber's attacking rhythm is restricted.
He took two quick steps in, without getting rid of Su Xi's nubile defense.
He stopped quickly and was about to jump.
But... a palm had already fallen down fiercely, and directly knocked down the basketball he was about to lift from his waist.
It was a live demonstration of the super-tangled defensive talent from Gary Payton.
Sticky and strong, cutting the ball fast and vicious.
Weber's shooting streak continues, and Suhi has taken away his basketball.
The Arco Arena was once again in an uproar. Seeing Webber jumping up without the ball, everyone felt uncomfortable and incredible.
Their king was actually toyed with by that arrogant rookie on the offensive end?
Su Xi quickly rushed across the half court with the basketball. He yelled to run, and James was slightly dazed. Before he could react, Ricky Davis quickly entered the penalty area. Su Xi lobbed a long pass from outside the three-point line. Davis received the basketball and held it with both hands. Dunk!
One buckle! Break it! An alley-oop!
Su Xi opened his arms. He strolled through the flood of boos and abuses in the Arco Arena, and when he reached the midline, he did not forget to bow gracefully.
Arco Arena is going to explode.
Fu-ck! Su-xi! Fu-ck! Su-xi!
The sound was overwhelming.
But he couldn't hurt Su Xi at all. The smile on his face was light and charming.
Larry Bird wanted to pop his balls in front of the TV, he was so excited. The generation king couldn't be happier when he saw Su Xi's perfect pretense. He patted Rick Carlisle's thigh and shouted excitedly: "Did you see it? Did you see it? This is the successor to Larry Bird. This is the dynasty puzzle I want! We can bring him to Indiana right away!" !immediately!!"
"Then why are you still standing there? I can't wait to get him." Reggie Miller was also yelling. He is also a pusher, and he likes Su Xi's attitude towards Kings fans. It reminded him of the time when he bowed to the New York fans and hung them.
Damn it, an interesting newcomer finally appears in the NBA!
At this moment, Reggie Miller's emotions were flying. He thought of the 1980s and 1990s, when there were so many talents and distinctive personalities.
Wherever it is now, except for a few, they are all obedient rabbits.
Suzy the sheep?
Why did he call the little sheep Suxi?
He should be the big bad wolf Su Xi.
Reggie Miller thought so.
hiss!
Rick Carlisle grabbed Larry Bird's hand: "Stop shooting, it's me who hurts."
Ohoho! !
Charles Barkley's screams kept coming from the TV, and he roared excitedly, constantly supporting Su Xi.
Under his passionate explanation, the fans in front of the TV were increasingly attracted to Su Xi.
Obviously, this is a huge contrast.
Before the game started, everyone thought Handsome Susie would be completely defeated by Chris Webber. but now….
"The game has just begun, Chris Webber will work hard soon!" Kenny Smith said confidently: "No rookie can humiliate an established superstar in the first game, unless he is Michael Jordan."
Mike Bibby dribbled the ball across half court.
Adelman gave him a signal.
At this time, Brad Miller ran out and he covered Mike Bibby. Bibby quickly cut in from the side.
Su Xi bypassed Brad Miller and prepared to pursue, but found that Carlos Boozer had already gone to guard Bibby!
At this time, Su Xi had a bold guess.
He quickly pursued him, and he quickly bypassed Ilgauskas' body.
At this moment, Bibby passed the basketball out, and he passed it to Weber who followed up on the other side.
Weber grabbed the basketball, jumped up, and headed straight for the basketball. He was going to dunk.
If it were the previous Weber, Su Xi wouldn't have the slightest chance.
But now, as Su Xi said, he is no longer a super genius, his jumping speed and height are relatively average.
This gave Su Xi an opportunity to take advantage of.
Su Xi jumped up, he flew up from behind, and soon he was on par with Weber. At the moment when Weber was about to complete the dunk, his huge right hand slapped the basketball hard.
With great force, Webb instantly lost control of the basketball. The basketball hit the backboard with a bang and bounced off. Su Xi quickly landed on the ground, and then he jumped up again and pushed the basketball a little outside.
James grabbed the basketball and Su Xi ran forward.
He released his explosive power and speed, and he quickly rushed to the frontcourt. Then James threw the basketball up, a little high. Su Xi jumped up with all his strength. He barely grabbed the basketball with his right hand in the air, and then threw it hard towards the basket. The basket was smashed...boom!
Su Xi smashed the basketball into the basket with one hand.
He grabbed the basket tightly with his right hand and swung his body back and forth two or three times before he stabilized his shifting center of gravity.
He said to himself in his heart: He can't start so violently next time, because his balance and coordination skills are still not enough.
But at this time, in the eyes of fans, Su Xi's action was full of domineering.
Grabbing the basket with one hand and swinging it, the gods descended to earth.
Bah!
Su Xi landed from the sky.
Beep!
Adelman requested a timeout.
Sartmento was stunned at the start!
Chris Webber was completely blown away on both offense and defense.
How arrogant they were before the game, how confused they are now.
At this moment, all basketball fans in front of the TV have a real question: What will this handsome, arrogant, and domineering rookie do next?
Demolish the temple of Sartmentor?
