Woody broke Karl Malone's ribs?
When the news came back to the scene, there was a huge boo from the audience.
It's not that people in Los Angeles like Malone that much.
But as "die-hard fans" of the Lakers, their first reaction was...
How long will it take Karl Malone to recover? Will this affect the Lakers' regular season journey and the most important playoff journey.
This made them look at Woody on the big screen with dissatisfaction in their hearts.
When Kobe heard the news on the bench, he subconsciously covered his face with a white towel and pretended to wipe his sweat.
so close!
I almost laughed out loud!
Fortunately, it’s covered!
Um……
When Kobe heard the news, his first reaction was to laugh.
There is no way, as long as you are a man, you will not allow others to tease your wife.
But because of his teammates and his current situation, he couldn't do anything more extreme.
But at this time, don't expect him to side with Karl Malone and blame Woody!
This is impossible!
Covering his smiling face with a towel was his last show of respect for the Lakers.
Shaquille O'Neal opened his mouth in an "O" shape.
He felt really incredible when he heard the news.
Karl Malone is recognized as the "Iron Man" by the league. Throughout his entire career, he has never rested for a few games. His physical endurance is incredible. Woody was able to break this guy's ribs in one go!
this……
He subconsciously touched his ribs.
Thick fat wraps...
Shaquille O'Neal was a little scared, and he had a lot of confrontations with Woody.
Now it seems that this newbie is showing mercy to him!
Sure enough, the image of a kind "senior" is still necessary!
These young people these days are really ruthless...
In the audience on the sidelines, Lindsay was also full of fear.
She suddenly felt that she was sometimes too naughty.
Fortunately, Mr. Woody had a lot and didn't argue with her.
But she couldn't help but turn around and glance at Megan Fox next to her: "Woody... shouldn't have any violent tendencies, right?"
Megan Fox and Woody have actually only been together twice, so they are not very familiar with each other, but she who just felt like an outsider just now coughed twice in order to show her presence. He said as if he knew him very well: "Don't worry, he's a very gentleman. This probably wasn't intentional. Look at how serious he looks... I guess he felt bad after hearing the news!"
Lindsay followed what she said, looked at Woody, and nodded with deep understanding.
Very sad indeed.
This sad look made people want to go up and touch his head and hug his arms.
so……
"When the game is over, you can leave first!"
"Eh?"
Megan Fox's words almost flashed Lindsay's 17-year-old "water snake waist".
"Wow, man, did you break Karl Malone's ribs?" Odom turned to look at Woody, as if he was looking at a stranger.
In the last game, Woody's toughness against Artest had already refreshed his understanding of Woody. Now he has refreshed his understanding of Woody again.
This guy...
Looking at the sunny boy's appearance, in fact...
It’s really not easy to mess with!
Woody frowned slightly when he heard the news.
Unexpectedly, Karl Malone was actually injured...
only……
Why doesn't he feel any guilt at all?
Instead, Karl Malone's various dangerous elbow moves kept flashing through his mind.
When he heard that Karl Malone was injured, Woody's first reaction was:
Will the public opinion after the game have any negative impact on him?
If he carries the name of a "villain", it will help him gain a foothold in the NBA.
But his business image has been greatly reduced...
Anything that has nothing to do with making money is something Woody is unwilling to do.
So much so that he felt a little annoyed at this moment. Even if his opponent was Karl Malone, his attack was too heavy!
The game in the fourth quarter became more intense on both sides, but the Heat still had the last laugh.
Kobe scored 11 points in the fourth quarter. Just looking at the scoring data, he regained his bravery in the first half.
But to score these 11 points, Kobe took 11 shots, plus 4 free throws, all of which were made. Putting aside these 4 free throws, Kobe only scored 8 points in 11 shots, 2 of which were 3-pointers, which is equivalent to 11 3 shots, this efficiency is not high no matter how you look at it.
The "Peter Pan" style of play in the fourth quarter was no different from that in the third quarter.
It's just that he found his form and hit two difficult three-pointers, plus the kill at the basket won the referee's whistle.
It's a pity that such a style of play is destined to be difficult to achieve efficient scoring efficiency under the Heat's defensive arrangement tonight.
This is true on the offensive end, but on the defensive end they still don't have a good way to solve the cooperation between Woody and Wade.
Wade scored 7 points again in the fourth quarter, taking only 5 shots and hitting 3 of them, including a "2 plus 1".
Since Woody adjusted his tactics in the second half, he has been focusing on the defensive end. He blocked 4 shots in the third quarter and got 2 more blocks in the fourth quarter. Or give it all to Kobe.
Yes!
In the second half alone, Woody gave Kobe 4 blocks.
Including one block in the first half, Woody sent a total of 7 blocks in the game.
This is a new career high for him.
However, Woody's performance tonight was not outstanding in terms of scoring and rebounding.
Got 12 rebounds.
There was only 1 offensive rebound among them.
For him who has averaged 12.8 rebounds per game so far this season, this can only be considered a normal performance.
The total score was only 12 points.
If rebounding is normal, then his score is a bit low.
But there is nothing he can do. Most of his offensive methods are concentrated at the basket. Tonight, the Lakers have Karl Malone and Shaquille O'Neal under the basket. The two of them move slowly, but their ability to stand under the basket and compress the space under the basket is first-class.
Woody didn't have many opportunities to attack the basket tonight.
The ability to mobilize the inside is not as good as Wade's.
Therefore, he himself also deliberately reduced unnecessary shots in this game, and his efficiency was very high, making 6 of 8 shots.
Unfortunately, the free throw efficiency tonight was not very good, and all 3 shots were missed.
In the first half, there was no feeling of free throw shooting. In the second half, there were too many blocks and the feeling was off track.
But all the data added together, 12 points, 12 rebounds, 7 blocks, 3 assists and 1 steal...
Still very comprehensive!
Wade's scoring data tonight were very good. Although he only had 22 points in the end, 17 of them were scored in the second half!
With the help of Woody's pick-and-roll, he let Gary Payton know what "the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead".
When the buzzer sounded at the end of the game, Gary Payton unconsciously put his hand on his waist.
It’s really not as good as before!
He scored 10 points, 3 rebounds and 5 assists in this game. His performance was not much different from his season average of 14.2 points, 4.5 rebounds and 5.5 assists. But 7 of his 10 points came in the first half. The second half found the confident Wade on offense and limited him well.
He is limited in this area, which is why the Heat dare to target Kobe with confidence.
For the "OK" team, Kobe scored 38 points tonight, 20 points in the first half and 18 points in the second half. It seemed that he was maintaining his condition well, but his efficiency in the second half was not even half of what he was in the first half.
Shaquille O'Neal only had 18 points, 9 rebounds and 2 blocks in this game.
In addition to the fact that the Heat narrowed the double-team to prevent him from catching the ball, there is another point. His desire to attack tonight was not high, especially when he saw Woody block one after another to Kobe, he became even more A "spectator" on the field.
All he needs to do is give Woody a request and give him the big hat pose he imagined!
4 blocks, he was really pleased with it...
Immediately after the game ended, amid the boos from the audience, he hugged Woody who was standing nearby without hesitation, without caring about the emotions of any Lakers fans: "Man, you really let me down tonight. I'm impressed, are all you Chinese players so good at blocking shots?"
Last time, Yao Ming also scored three consecutive big shots in the opening game.
He was speechless.
But compared to Yao Ming, he prefers Woody.
After all, Woody’s “ghost under the hat” is Kobe!
Woody just forced a smile. He was still worried about the public opinion after the game.
O'Neal showed his super high emotional intelligence and keenly captured Woody's worries. He gave Woody a final hug and said goodbye to him: "Man, don't worry, Karl Malone is not very popular. This The game is over, there won’t be many people who can speak for him, don’t worry!”
A thick palm patted Woody's shoulder, adding a sense of trust to his words.
Woody also had a little more smile on his face.
What surprised Woody was that after Shaquille O'Neal said hello to him, he turned around and saw Kobe, who seemed to be waiting to say hello to him as well.
this……
There is a big problem with Kobe's emotional intelligence.
This can be seen from the entire process of his handling of the Eagle County incident.
If he made a "wrong" step, the whole situation wouldn't be so bad.
But you have to say that he has low emotional intelligence. During last year's All-Star Game, he took the initiative to comfort the nervous Yao Ming before the game. He even took the initiative to invite Yao Ming to jump forward during the jump ball stage.
It's just that Tim Duncan easily felt loveless throughout the process.
This person still has some emotional intelligence, but he is often in a state of "downtime due to arrears."
Right now this is...
Are your feet off the ground?
Has emotional intelligence taken over the high ground again?
In fact, Kobe planned to leave when the game was over. Woody had a heated fight with O'Neal and was automatically included in his "blacklist".
But his mind flashed to Shaquille O'Neal being blocked and Karl Malone breaking a rib.
He felt that if he left like this, it would undoubtedly be another test of his emotional intelligence.
Since O'Neal was able to smile playfully with him when he was blocked, then after being blocked four times, he stepped forward to encourage Woody as a rookie. Wouldn't this be a great talk in the NBA in the future?
"Man, you are great, I look forward to playing with you next time!"
In his opinion, these words were open-minded enough and showed his broadmindedness.
only……
Woody's thoughts were on Shaquille O'Neal's words.
Really, will many people speak for me?
He is not usually a person who worries about gains and losses. If it were about other things, he really wouldn't be so anxious. But regarding factors related to making money, Woody could easily get entangled in himself before the results came out.
To put it bluntly, he has not experienced enough, after all, he has just turned 18.
So much so that when he looked at Kobe at this moment, he just barely twitched the corner of his mouth.
Kobe was not happy at the time. He was laughing so happily with O'Neal, but now I'm acting like a "cold goddess", right?
I am not a "dog licker"!
"Next time, I'll wait for you to die!"
After leaving these words, Kobe turned around and walked away, leaving Woody alone with questions on his head.
Isn't it?
Didn’t I cover you four times in the game? Are you so vindictive?
No wonder people say Kobe is stingy. When I saw him today, he was indeed stingy!
After the game, Woody was stopped in the visiting team's tunnel. As soon as the reporters came up, they saw that the map of "Yan Country" was not opened at all, and they directly asked about Karl Malone's broken ribs.
After Woody made sure that the question did not tempt him to say something like "I did it on purpose," he said, "I'm sorry that something like this happened, and I don't want it to happen, but now it's gone." It happened, I can only express my regret and hope that Karl Malone can return to the game as soon as possible!"
He also specifically thought about his answers. After feeling that he had expressed everything he should express, he answered a few more questions, pushed away the circle of reporters, and stepped onto the Heat team bus.
As soon as I got in the car and sat down next to Odom, my phone rang. I picked it up and saw that it was Megan Fox's phone.
Oh, right!
Just say that I forgot something...
He left without even saying hello to this woman!
She would probably be very angry.
Woody understood his situation well, so he stuffed his phone back into his pants pocket.
A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall.
This principle also applies to the relationship between men and women.
Since Meghan might be angry, it would be better not to answer the call.
After waiting another half an hour, I sent a message back saying that I didn't see it during the interview, and all the problems were solved.
At once……
Perfect!
But when Woody turned to look out the car window, he saw a pair of angry "fox eyes."
There are hundreds of millions of points that look familiar.
Megan Fox and Lindsay were standing outside the car window.
In other words, Megan Fox had a panoramic view of Woody's actions just now.
OK!
The call came again.
Woody forced out a smile meant for posters, looked at Megan Fox who was extremely angry, picked up the phone again, and pressed the answer button.
"You scumbag, go to hell!"
Megan Fox almost yelled, causing Woody to subconsciously put the phone away from his ears.
"If I said that I didn't answer the phone because I read the name wrong... would you believe it?" Woody, who was in a hurry, suddenly came up with such an excuse, "You know, I am Chinese, and my English is not good. It’s normal to misunderstand the name.”
"Really?"
This is definitely a ridiculous excuse.
But it turns out that God gave Megan Fox the conspicuous beauty among the crowd, but indeed took away a lot of things from her.
Especially the brain...
***
After successfully appeasing Megan Fox, Woody called "Magic" Johnson on the way back.
The current media industry is not developed. Regarding the fact that he broke Karl Malone's ribs, what kind of public opinion will be aroused will not be known until tomorrow at the earliest. But as a "media socialite", Johnson has countless media resources at his disposal, and he also has the phone numbers of many well-known reporters. If he calls them, he will know the general attitude of the mainstream media.
Johnson already knew about this matter at this moment, and had previously sent text messages and called Woody, but Woody had just returned to the car and had not had time to see it.
"Then I'll make a long story short. I just got a rough idea of the attitude in the circle. Don't worry, Woody, they are basically on your side..."
There are two main reasons:
One is that Woody does have obvious elbow strikes.
But that happened after Karl Malone elbowed him.
This is legitimate defense, give a tough response!
Second, Karl Malone's reputation is indeed as bad as Shaquille O'Neal said.
He and Stockton were in Salt Lake City, and no one paid any attention to them. If it were any other city, the media would have already rallied to attack them.
Some players are capable but have no exposure.
Tim Duncan is such a player, and so is Karl Malone.
But their reputations are quite different.
The reason lies in Karl Malone's dirty tricks on both ends of the floor.
There are countless players who have been injured by his iron elbows.
There are countless people who suffered hidden losses under his iron elbow.
Whose side do you think these people will be on at this time?
Listening to what Johnson said, Woody immediately became relaxed.
Early the next morning, as Johnson said, public opinion collectively favored Woody.
I have something to do today, so I will make up for the word count tomorrow. Tomorrow is the last day of July. Please vote for me.
