On February 20, the Lakers defeated the mighty Celtics at home, completing a season doubleheader against the Celtics.
But this did not become the biggest news after the game.
The biggest news after the game was definitely the physical beating of Celtics star LeBron James by Jokic, the top pick of the Lakers!
After the game, the scene on the Internet of Jokic beating James was made into countless GIFs with countless texts to explain this tragedy that may be unique in NBA history!
In the history of the NBA, no MVP has ever been so beaten, and this MVP is not an ordinary MVP, but three regular season MVPs, and a championship MVP. This was reported by ESPN in 2012 Ranked among the top ten players in NBA history!
Such a player was beaten violently by a rookie on the court?
Isn’t this the biggest joke in the world?
In the NBA, which MVP is not a highly respected player?
Every MVP is the goal pursued by NBA players. You can talk to Jordan, you can fight with Jordan, but absolutely no one can beat Jordan, face Jordan, face Kobe, face O'Neal, face Duncan, and face Jordan. To Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, to Magic, to Big Bird, to Chamberlain, to Russell, such a humiliating slap!
This is respect!
You may not like them, but you will respect their achievements.
James has achieved quite a few achievements. ESPN ranked them among the top ten in history three years ago. It is definitely impossible for him to have no achievements.
However, such an achievement did not allow James to get any respect from Jokic!
This is very thought-provoking, pondering whether the honors James has received are really the kind of honors that can bring respect.
Obviously, the result of thinking must be terrifying.
The pile of honors James has received really haven't brought him any respect from his opponents and fellow NBA player Jokic!
After the game, Jokic quickly became the focus of the entire NBA. At the post-game press conference, Coach D was so brave that he actually brought Jokic to attend!
Faced with such a parallel import champion who beat James violently, the reporters at the scene seemed to be crazy.
The reporters at the scene were crazy and asked Jokic all kinds of questions. Jokic himself is a very straightforward person. You can imagine how explosive this post-game press conference was!
"You are right about your guess. I humiliated him on purpose. You don't need to tell me about his achievements or those honors. I don't have any respect for him. I respect Kobe, respect Duncan, and respect Noah. Wisky, you can also respect Yao, TMC, and AI, but you have no respect for him."
"Yes, you are right. He succeeded, but I am just a rookie. I have not succeeded yet. I am even what you call a loser, but what does that mean? For me, there is no shortcut to success. I will not take the shortcut to success. I was only 19 years old when I came to the Lakers. McCaw and Antetokounmpo were also a group of young people when they came to the Lakers. We will experience growth, and our growth process will You have to go through the lowest point to move from failure to success.
Even after we succeed, we may experience failure and experience failure again.
So can you still get out of the trough at this time? This determines what kind of person you are.
At the very least, I can guarantee that I will not do something like running away and taking shortcuts again when the team hits a slump. I can't imagine the situation when Coach D and my teammates need my help, but I run away. "
"It's not good for me as a rookie and the No. 1 draft pick to talk about success now. However, the Mavericks, Spurs, and Coach D inspired me and gave me the dream of winning the championship. I don't remember who their opponents were. Do you remember? ?”
"So, please don't talk to me about respect. I don't have any respect for him. So, you can tell me about the beating incident itself. Yes, this is not a fight, it is a unilateral beating. I beat LeBron James, we didn’t have a fight, I beat LeBron James unilaterally.”
Looking at the extremely ugly expression on the face of the Boston reporter below, Du Kang almost wanted to laugh.
It has to be said that Jokic's way of saying things is indeed a breath of fresh air in the NBA. It is not official at all, not stereotyped at all, and is quite anti-routine.
Even the reporters in Boston who wanted to attack him didn't expect Jokic to be so straightforward, right?
"Did you hit someone because you were angry? Haha."
"Yes, I was the one who made the first move. I was definitely at fault in this incident. I have never denied it. After being sent off, I did not show my hands to anyone. During the game, James kept provoking me and trying to fight me. His mentality collapsed and he kept humiliating me with words.
I, on the other hand, hate the fact that he walks every time he attacks. Did he walk 10 times in this game? 20 times? I have no idea.
I know that any basketball player may accidentally walk on the court, it is inevitable, but I never imagined that a player could use walking as a weapon. I am angry, if it is normal to be beaten , I will not be angry, I will respect the strength of my opponent.
However, I cannot accept such failure, nor can I accept the humiliation brought by such failure.
The one who should be ashamed is not me, but LeBron James. He should not use the grades obtained by cheating to laugh at a poor student who studied hard.
So if this is what you call getting angry out of shame, then it is getting angry out of shame, and I won’t deny it.
besides.
Don’t you think James deserves a beating for deliberately imitating Yao’s smile this season? In fact, I have long wanted to slap him hard! "
Jokic finished his last words seriously, and the atmosphere at the scene was stunned for a moment. After a moment of silence, the scene erupted into incredible laughter, applause and cheers.
"Hahahaha, Jokic is right, I've been wanting to beat LeBron James for a long time!"
"Nima, if you have that kind of hard power like Yao, you'll get down if you don't accept it. Even if you have such an arrogant and hilarious smile, you damn fake who relies on cheating to be invincible, don't you deserve a smile like Yao's?! "
"Yao Yao's performance in the playoffs last season was unmatched by Jordan in any year. Is James worthy of imitating Yao? Hahahaha, I've wanted to beat this King for a long time!!"
"Nikolai, well done, you are the best young man! Even if you are a parallel importer, even if you are suspended this season, we will always support you!"
Forehead……
The Boston reporters at the scene were stunned when they heard these voices of support for Jokic suddenly coming from the scene.
In front of the TV, James, who was covering his face with ice packs, was also dumbfounded.
After I was beaten by this kid, in the eyes of this group of people, is it Jokic who is doing harm to the people?
Is my laughter so outrageous?
James gritted his teeth and looked at Paul next to him.
"Chris, does my smile really deserve a beating?"
"..."
Paul didn't even know how to answer for a moment.
Finally, Paul has to be resourceful.
"No, LeBron, it's not that your smile deserves a beating, but that smile itself deserves a beating. It's just that Yao's opponents have met good people, and you have met a bad person, so don't take it to heart. , LeBron, stick to yourself.”
American culture has always been that you cannot teach others to do things. Even your own parents cannot teach your own children what to do. Therefore, there is nothing wrong with what Paul said.
Stick to being yourself, this is the standard answer to comfort friends in the United States.
As for whether his friend would be beaten every day because he deserved a beating, that was not something Paul needed to worry about.
Big deal, next time, continue to comfort James and let James insist on being himself?
Jokic's post-match press conference was broadcast live. Not only was it broadcast live, but every question he answered was edited and posted online at an extremely fast speed.
Even Apu who is far away in China can see the latest situation of Jokic's post-game press conference in real time.
"I really don't feel guilty at all!"
"Guilty? Why do I think Jokic is so relaxed when answering questions? I don't feel like I hit the wrong person at all, but I feel like I am doing harm to the people? Is it my imagination? On the court So hitting someone is always bad, right?"
"Not good? Why do I think it's so suitable? Damn it! Does James really not understand how he succeeded? Ordinary people get their grades by cheating and keep a low profile for a long time. James is better, for fear of Others don't know that he got 99 points in the test, but if it were me, not only would I slap James in the face, but I would also beat him to tears and beat him into a pig's head!
Jokic was still too gentle. He just slapped his face and didn't even swell James! "
"Hahahaha, Jokic didn't say that the reason why he didn't beat him too hard was mainly to keep James on the court and let James be abused by his teammates on the court. Hahahaha, it's so funny, Jokic The interview was still as funny as ever, hahahaha..."
"If I were James, I would definitely collapse after hearing Jokic's words, right? After beating him off the court, he will continue to beat him on the court. Even if James is Black King Kong, he can't stand the Lakers being so tight! Hahahaha..."
"So James still doesn't quite understand what kind of team the Los Angeles Lakers are now. He actually dares to be arrogant at Staples. Even in the North Shore Garden, being so arrogant in front of the Lakers is seeking death. Madison's 71 Warriors , how many of you are still treating your own psychological shadow at this time? Hahahaha..."
Many James fans and Celtics fans paid attention to Jokic's post-game press conference because they wanted to see Jokic apologize.
But faced with the siege of Boston reporters, Jokic had no intention of apologizing, really no apology at all. Although the expression on his face was very calm, the content and way of answering questions, why would people think that Jokic Still looking very proud?
This is a bit unbearable.
At the very least, many James and Celtics fans, after watching the entire post-game interview with Jokic, really gritted their teeth and wanted to rush into the TV and beat up Jokic.
And James, who was counting the driver's money, even made the ice pack in his hand squeak.
If it weren't for the sudden attack by Jokic, if it wasn't for this kid's lack of martial ethics, he would never have been beaten unilaterally!
He was so careless at that time!
However, who would have thought that a cowardly parallel importer would suddenly become so popular!
He has been in the NBA for so many years, no matter how much his opponents hate him, no one dares to touch him!
Even Arenas, such a fiery person, was tricked so miserably by himself, would Arenas dare to touch him?
Even if Arenas hid a gun in the locker room, he would not dare to point it at himself!
This is the gold content of hooks!
Is it possible for someone who offends him to survive in the NBA?
There is no possibility!
If it weren't for the support of Coach D, even if this kid Jokic had ten courages, he wouldn't dare to touch himself!
This is why Hook is so crazy about Coach D!
This is really not a fight.
Without Coach D, Hook can do whatever he wants in the NBA. Whoever is said to be a Goat is a Goat. Whoever is said to have surpassed Jordan will surpass Jordan.
But with Coach D, even a mere Jokic, a parallel import No. 1 pick, dared to ignore Hook!
Inverted!
It’s really the opposite, it’s really earth-shaking!
Thinking of this, James's eyes flickered.
He also read many people's comments on his mobile phone. Many people said that after this incident, Hook would give up on him, but he didn't think so.
The more this happens, the less likely the hook will give up!
How is this a slap in the face? Jokic is simply slapping Hook on the butt!
If Hook had any blood and dignity, he would not let this matter go by like this.
Moreover, he was so persecuted by Jokic and the Lakers. The next time he encounters him, he will have even more reason to use various means to retaliate, and no one will say anything!
Looking at Jokic on TV who was still talking without any guilt, James gritted his teeth and smiled on his somewhat red and swollen face.
"Are you happy? Next time I meet you, you will cry!"
"Boy, you will never know now how much disaster you have brought to Coach D!"
James is sure of his judgment.
At the post-game press conference, after Jokic finished answering questions, it was Du Kang's turn.
"Coach D, you double-killed the Celtics this season, but both games were controversial. In the first game, you morally kidnapped the Celtics players. In this game, you deliberately alienated The Celtics front office, and Jokic had no professional ethics to break James' mentality. It's not very honorable for you to win these two games. Do you think it would be better if you faced the Celtics in the finals? Meeting each other, would you still have a chance to win such a game?
If you were swept by the Celtics in the Finals, would it be embarrassing to review these two games in the regular season? "
Boston reporters were understandably reluctant to acknowledge the loss of the game.
After all, even in the Christmas game, Boston reporters didn’t admit that the Celtics lost.
Speaking of which, the two regular season games against the Celtics this season were indeed full of twists and turns. Both teams played abnormally and with great enthusiasm.
In such a game, it is never possible to defeat the opponent, not to mention the opponent is the Celtics.
"Actually, you can be more direct. You can directly say that I was not victorious in these two games, and that my team and I were not victorious. I will not be angry because we won both of these games. Moreover, most people think there is no problem for us to win. If you don’t believe it, you can ask the reporters at the scene.”
Du Kang finished speaking with a smile, and the scene once again burst into loud laughter.
Hearing such laughter, the expressions on the faces of the Boston reporters who were very active in the post-game press conference once again became very ugly.
"Coach D, you haven't answered my question directly. If the Lakers are swept by the Celtics next time we meet in the Finals, will it be embarrassing? After all, you can't beat the Celtics with your strength. Contest!"
Du Kang looked at the Boston reporter who was still unwilling to give up at this time. The expression on his face became "kind" and he even narrowed his eyes.
"You don't need to worry about this matter. If our strength is really just swept by the Celtics in the Finals, then we will definitely not be able to break out of the Western Conference and represent the Western Conference in the Finals."
Forehead……
After Du Kang finished speaking, the Boston reporter who asked this question was dumbfounded.
Because there is really nothing wrong with Du Kang's answer. There is nothing wrong with it at all.
If the Lakers are really the kind of people who are swept by their opponents in the Finals, then it is impossible for the Lakers to represent the Western Conference in the Finals.
"Hahahaha, the West is different from the East. In the West, there are big and wild opponents. If the Lakers are really that bad, I'm afraid they won't even be able to get past the Timberwolves in the first round, hahahaha..."
"The Celtics and James are the same thing. They have reaped the dividends of the Eastern Conference. They really feel that they are so awesome that they have the ability to come to the Western Conference! Let you know what the shock of the Western Conference is!"
"The Lakers are a team with a record of 50 wins and 4 losses in the Western Conference. Even if most of the games are based on luck, you don't really think of the Lakers as a rookie team that only relies on luck, right?!"
"Hahahaha, the Lakers are now on the road to breaking the Bulls' 96 regular season record, and the Celtics, they are in the East, can't even see the taillights of the Lakers' record! Hahahaha..."
Hearing the words and laughter of his colleagues at the scene, the expression on the face of the Boston reporter at the scene was really ugly.
They look down on the Lakers, this is a fact!
In fact, most teams in the NBA look down on the Lakers' style of play.
Not to mention that the Lakers' style of play has never been successful in the NBA. Even if it is successful, most people will not believe that this style of play can be successful a second time. Even if it is successful for the second time, no one will believe that it can be successful for the second time. three times.
This kind of style of play that seems to depend on the sky will always be discriminated against in the NBA. Even if you win four championships, or even five championships, you will still be discriminated against.
Therefore, these reporters in Boston are not acting haphazardly, but are really confident.
It's just that this time, the Celtics lost, and they also know that in a place like the NBA where controversy is very serious, no matter how reasonable the losing side is, it will become unreasonable at this time and can only be ridiculed. .
These reporters in Boston are not M, and they certainly don’t want to be ridiculed.
There is no point in staying here and being humiliated by Jokic and Coach D.
However, they felt very unwilling to leave like this.
Because he was really unwilling and was humiliated by Jokic and Coach D throughout the whole process. Who can bear this?
Therefore, when these Boston reporters left, one of them looked directly at Du Kang coldly.
"Coach D, are you going to break the 96 Bulls' regular season record? Are you dreaming? Do you really think 70 wins is that easy? The Lakers, who have won 33 consecutive games, can't even win 70!"
This Boston reporter wanted to get one last tirade at Coach D, but...
Um?
While he was speaking, his colleague from Boston frantically pulled on his sleeve.
"I'm not done yet!"
"Stop talking!"
What's the meaning?
The Boston reporter who wanted to angrily criticize Coach D was dumbfounded.
Because, instead of shocking the reporters at the scene and appreciating his bravery, his angry remarks all seemed to be suppressing laughter.
When he really didn't say anything more, huge laughter broke out once again. For a moment, the Staples press conference center was once again filled with a happy atmosphere.
How is this going?
"Hahahaha, I'm afraid you were beaten stupid by Jokic. Don't you know that the current regular season winning streak in the NBA is Coach D's 40-game winning streak with the Lakers? Hahahaha..."
Damn it! ! !
I almost forgot about Coach D’s undefeated and championship-winning season! ! !
"Hahahaha, it's okay for you to say this to anyone, but you are questioning Coach D now. This is very funny. You don't really think that Coach D became a successful coach just by relying on two championships. The strongest head coach in NBA history, right? You don’t really think that your amazing Monty is only two championships short of Coach D, right? Hahahaha... This is the best thing I’ve heard this year. What a joke! Hahahaha..."
He failed to ridicule and angrily criticize Coach D.
Then he was madly angry and ridiculed by reporters in Los Angeles.
The Boston reporters who originally came here with a critical and forceful heart were dejected when they left. They left in dejection amidst the ridicule of the Los Angeles reporters.
Los Angeles and Boston.
Celtics and Lakers.
To win, you must be crazy!
So, don't use common sense to judge these two teams.
When these two teams meet together, common sense cannot be used to judge.
Therefore, after the game between the Lakers and Celtics, Boston reporters wanted to find justice for the Celtics and James, but were humiliated by Jokic, Coach D, and the Los Angeles reporters and left the game in despair. It refreshed the screen once.
The game was lost.
Lost the fight.
In the end, even the talk was lost!
This loss is definitely extremely painful for Celtic fans.
The Celtics are an ordinary team and can't help the Lakers.
Boston is also an ordinary city, but it can’t compete with Los Angeles.
Therefore, no matter how painful it is, we can only hold it in.
However, some people don't want to hold it in.
The next day, many traditional media, new media, and even self-media suddenly started a trend of blackmailing Jokic.
One by one they kept saying that Jokic has lowered the moral limit of the NBA. If Jokic cannot be kicked out of the NBA and banned permanently, it will be a shame to the NBA.
This is setting the pace, this is the pace that will ban Jokic permanently!
Seeing this rhythm, Jokic was stunned.
Not that I'm afraid.
But...
"I'm not going to leave the NBA with the label of being a parallel import, right?"
In fact, he is not afraid of being permanently banned from the NBA. He is playing basketball. Where can he play basketball?
If I can't play in the NBA, the worst possible outcome is to go back to Europe. It's not a big deal, it's just about making less money.
It's just that it's a bit uncomfortable to be left as a parallel import.
"Du, Hook is not only building momentum in public opinion, but also pushing for Jokic's permanent ban at the NBA's official regular meeting. Adam Silver fully supports it. Now that David Stern has not expressed his position, I have already contacted other players. Team, I hope I can be given a lighter punishment.”
In Du Kang's office, Du Kang rubbed his temples.
Jokic's unilateral beating of James is actually serious. It can be very serious. It was a non-basketball action on the court. Intentional injury. If it goes a little further, it is an attempted murder and was stopped.
Back then, Malone's elbow assassin was also a deliberate injury done under the guise of basketball moves.
This layer of skin is very important in the NBA.
And Jokic was indeed a deliberate revenge on James in a dead ball state.
Although Jokic himself was very measured and did not hurt James deeply, his behavior was indeed such a behavior.
Jokic is indeed worthy of a lifetime ban.
Now, the key is the final PR result.
Let's put it this way, if Jokic is not a Lakers player, but a player of any other team, and beats the Celtics' leader, he will definitely be banned for life.
However, Jokic is a Lakers player, so there is still room for change.
"Jim, can we ask Jerry to come out and help?"
"Jerry is in New York now."
After Jim Shu said this, Du Kang was stunned.
Jerry West went to New York to do public relations for Jokic and the Lakers without any help from the Lakers.
What is love?
This is love!
It can only be said that the Lakers will always reserve a place for famous players like Jerry West. It is not a waste of money, but it is really useful.
What is foundation?
These are the foundation!
"Jerry, he is really the best Laker..."
Du Kang sighed, a smile appeared on his face, and finally looked at Jim Shu with a smile and said.
"I will definitely thank Jerry in person next time."
"Du, Jerry will definitely not accept your thanks."
"Um?"
Jim Shumo looked at the confused Du Kang and said with a smile.
"Jerry said he owed you a forever favor last season."
Forehead……
Du Kang was stunned for a moment.
Last season...
New York Knicks?
Washing away the shame of Jerry West, Chamberlain and Baylor for forty years...
This is really Dior.
Even now, there are still many old Lakers fans who are crazy and excited about this championship.
The 2014 championship is not only the best finals in NBA history in the eyes of NBA experts, media and fans.
It is the best finals in the hearts of Jerry West and other old Lakers.
This finals is a finals that will reshape the Lakers!
After this finals, there will no longer be weak Lakers in the world, and the nobles will no longer be kneeling clan.
"Du, you have been underestimating your status among the famous Lakers. In fact, it is not just Jerry, Elgin Baylor, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and Magic. They are all in New York now, and they are all working for Jokic, and they are all taking the initiative. of."
When it comes to this, Jim himself is surprised.
Lakers legends have never been monolithic.
Especially after Jerry West left, Magic and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar stopped dealing with each other.
Magic is now the boss of the Lakers, while Kareem Abdul-Jabbar usually lives a quiet life as an otaku.
Now, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, a well-known dead man in the Lakers' famous area, actually went to New York to work for a mere parallel draft pick. This is amazing.
"I heard that Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is very happy recently because Coach D asked his name to be remembered by the NBA again, otherwise he will slowly turn into dust and tears of history, be forgotten, and be slowly forgotten. People underestimate.”
So that’s what the senior is thankful for?
Du Kang suddenly realized.
And this time, in New York.
As a business league, the NBA's opinions on major matters are the most important.
This time David Stern did not take a position, but left the decision to each team.
Support or oppose Jokic’s permanent ban.
It's up to each team to decide.
"This old fox!"
Adam Silver sighed.
He actually wants to force David Stern to express his position. If he supports him, he will increase his influence in the league. If he opposes him, that's even better. Are you an old man who is confused when you cover up crimes?
Unexpectedly, this old guy didn't get carried away in protecting Coach D and his White Moonlight Lakers.
Let the team decide!
So, let me give you a little shock!
You may never know the influence of Adam Silver plus hook and kick!
"LeBron, don't worry, Jokic will definitely be banned for life this time!"
Danny Ainge swears by it.
He believes in the influence of the Celtics. In 1996, among the top 50 players, the Celtics and the Lakers were 50-50. Now, the Celtics have Hook and Adam, and the Celtics' influence is invincible.
"Nikolai, maybe we should prepare to go back to Europe."
Jokic was silent.
David Stern leaves the decision-making power to each team, which actually means that he is leaving the NBA.
The influence of the Kai team, coupled with hooks, and the alliance's establishment, this one is indeed invincible.
Many media are saying that this time, he is indeed hopeless.
New York, NBA headquarters.
"Vote!"
David Stern finished speaking expressionlessly.
"Support lifetime ban!"
Danny Ainge was the first to speak.
"Oppose lifetime ban!"
Jim Brown spoke immediately.
Next is the time when the two teams compete for influence.
I have to say that the influence of the Celtics and Lakers is indeed great.
50-50 all the way!
Team Kai has a slight advantage.
The situation is unfavorable.
"Houston, what about you?"
"We support..."
McHale wasn't done yet.
At this moment, a big man rushed in.
"Hajim?!"
McHale is stupid!
"Sorry, I just came back from vacation in China. This is Alexander's authorization. I vote on behalf of the Rockets. I oppose the lifetime ban of Jokic."
After Olajuwon said this, not only McHale was dumbfounded, but Danny Ainge was also dumbfounded, and the entire venue was dumbfounded.
Can you still play like this?
At this moment, a big black man next to Olajuwon also spoke.
"We at Spurs are also against it."
Buford in the venue was stunned, General, you are killing first and then showing off!
Banning Jokic for life will definitely be beneficial to the Spurs. Coach D is missing the only center.
But looking at the admiral's eyes...
"Buford, is this what you mean?"
Danny Ainge's face darkened and he asked with force.
"That's what we mean."
Buford smiled.
Hey, who are you trying to scare?
The Spurs' statement is very important. The league is full of Spurs.
"We are also opposed to a lifetime ban! Sorry, I just finished the game last night and am late."
This is Iverson!
The general manager of the 76ers was actually a little speechless. He already said that we will not evade fares. Why are you coming here to supervise us?
How could we go against your idea?
“AI’s opinion is our opinion.”
"The Knights also oppose a lifetime ban."
Farke!
Greg is already on his way here.
"The Thunder are against it too!"
Crazy, Carter, Durant is here to supervise the voting!
"The sun objects too!"
"The Mavericks object too!"
"The Clippers also object!"
Damn it, Elgin Baylor!
"Lynx objects too!"
Farke!
You are called wasps now!
Danzi, aren’t you a hooker? !
Almost half an hour later, the whole world was dumbfounded!
The 50-50 situation instantly turned into a one-sided situation!
Then, a bunch of NBA veterans, celebrities, and legends appeared on the scene, and all of these people came to support the Lakers, no, to be precise, they came to support Coach D!
"OMG!!!"
This massive meeting was broadcast live across the United States.
This result really shocked the entire NBA!
In Los Angeles.
Jokic, who was already ready to pack up and leave, was equally stupid.
"Nikola, we may have the biggest backer in the entire NBA!"
After beating James violently, he can still stay in the NBA!
What kind of influence is this!
Coach D!
Invincible! ! !
And in Boston.
James was trembling with excitement and trembling with shock.
What's the difference between a slap in the face and a one-game ban and being slapped in vain? !
If the Lakers can reach the finals, Jokic can even play this season!
"Farke!"
"I was beaten by that boy for nothing?!"
(End of chapter)
