Chapter 564 The 2007 NBA Draft(1/3)
Two days later, the Lakers' championship parade officially kicked off with fans' expectations.
Compared with the previous two times, this time there are significantly more people on the streets of Los Angeles.
Not only local fans, but also a large number of Lakers fans from other regions gathered in Los Angeles.
The huge scene is like the US election.
Most of these fans are trying to witness the Lakers' dynasty parade, and of course a small number of fans want to see Smith's fruit photos.
When the time came, the crowd began to boil at the exit of Staples Center.
Because in the front row of the parade, it was really the donkey of Barkley!
However, it was not the naked Smith who rode on it, but just a large doll of Smith.
Just like Barkley didn't really kiss Smith's butt, as a public figure, he couldn't make it after he did that.
But Smith also did the ultimate he could do. He took off the doll's clothes and put on a pair of green underwear.
And Smith himself was still leading the donkey in front!
This visual effect is already very explosive.
Behind the donkey was a slowly moving parade, with Sun Hao, Hill, Millsap, and Barkley in the front row!
Barkley was still shouting and chatting with Smith, and the picture was quite "warm".
When the game team reached the first place, Smith was soon interviewed by reporters.
The most concerned issue for everyone is naturally the color of the doll's underwear.
“Why is green?”
Many people guessed that it was related to the Celtics.
“Green is the natural color.”
Smith's answer was different from what others thought, but judging from Barkley's laughing expression on the side, there is still a high possibility of being related to the Celtics.
But this kind of thing is definitely not something that can be said. Smith doesn't want to be beaten in Boston.
The parade was circling around most of Los Angeles amid the cheers of fans.
The distance of this parade also set a record for the highest NBA history.
When the team returned to Staples Center, it was already afternoon.
However, this could not stop the fans' enthusiasm at all, and the scene was still crowded.
After a simple meal, the Lakers went to the stage to attend the final speech session.
This time the speech was Phil Jackson.
Jackson's speech occasionally burst out with a Zen word, which was quite high-end.
However, the content of his speech is mainly to review the arduous journey of the Lakers over the past three years, which makes it look very suitable.
And at the end of the speech, Jackson also ended with what Sun Hao, O'Neal, and Old Bass said before, "Not 1, not 2, but more champions."
It can be felt that the entire team is now aiming for four consecutive championships.
After Phil Jackson's speech, the interview session followed. Fans asked some questions to the team members and then the players answered.
At the beginning, fans asked some more normal and ordinary questions.
But soon, the emergence of a problem made the atmosphere on the scene become a little nervous.
"What happened in G6 that caused such a big conflict with Kevin Garnett?"
Curiosity kills cats, and the most uncontrollable thing that humans cannot control is curiosity.
Of course, the only one who is curious about is not just the fan who asked the question, but almost everyone.
Before, because it was the dynasty champion night, everyone's focus was on celebrating the dynasty, and not many people were concerned about what had happened in the competition.
But now that the excitement of celebrating is over, these things will naturally become the focus of attention again.
Especially this issue has actually been discussed on social media over the past two days.
Many comments are even negative to Sun Hao.
"The current situation of the NBA league is against violence. As the first person in the league, Sun should do a good job of guiding rather than promoting violence."
"I've never seen Jordan, Shaq, or Kobe, T-mac has done this. As a superstar, you have to learn to restrain yourself."
"Sun still has a lot to learn in the trash talk class, and simple violence will only hit the opponent's mind."
"Sun is just relying on Stern's market demand. If another player is expelled, the Lakers' dream of dynasty will be shattered."
...
If there weren't many new social media users who were helping to retaliate, the voice would probably have been reported by mainstream media.
Sun Hao didn't expect that this question would be asked at this time.
There are many ways of answering.
The first is human nature.
The NBA is the basketball league with the highest competitive level in the world. This sounds very big, but in fact, there are only three or four hundred players in the league, and the circle is very small.
You never know when in the future, whether your opponent will become your teammates.
Especially for players like Sun Hao and Garnett, who are both super giants, they have been living in the league for a long time.
No one can tell what will happen in the future.
Therefore, human relationships and worldly ways are just to find some words to get rid of them.
For example, that's just something that happened in the game, the past has passed, and so on.
The second type is to make up randomly.
If Garnett's words were really exposed, it would definitely be a huge blow to Garnett personally.
For example, in history, the owner of the Clippers, Donald Sterling, was forced to sell the team because of racist recordings.
Although Garnett's trash talk was not recorded, the referee must have heard it at that time.
So once it is exposed, especially from Sun Hao, Garnett's prospects in the NBA will definitely be greatly affected.
In other words, it is the real revenge, the kind that can destroy the job.
So in comparison, make up a reason.
For example, the situation was in a state of anxiety, and Garnett said some extreme things, and I didn't control my emotions well.
The third type is to tell the truth.
It’s still the ones mentioned above, just to tell the truth and torn apart.
Sun Hao thought for a while and then answered.
“He said some racial trash and then said something insulting my family.”
He finally chose the third one!
People must bear the consequences for what they do, and they must be prepared to accept punishment after doing it.
As for what happens to Garnett, it has nothing to do with him.
There are also opponents who become teammates, and his strength is there, and it is his own will to choose teammates.
As soon as these words were spoken, the audience was in an uproar.
Including Old Bass, his face changed.
It’s not because Sun Hao said this, but because Garnett dared to say this!
The fans in the audience also put Garnett on the blacklist in an instant.
So they will definitely choose an outside line.
And among all the outside players, Conley is the best one.
As Oden's college teammate, Conley's academic style can only be described in two words: solid.
His upper limit may not be too high, but the lower limit is definitely not low. He is the kind of player who can become a quasi-All-star or All-Star.
There is nothing wrong with the Timberwolves' choice, and his Gemini combination with Jefferson is already excellent enough.
We will develop a forward that can play and have a place even in the West.
The fourth-placed Supersonics chose Jeff Green.
This is destined, and Green finally failed to escape his fate in Seattle.
However, because there is no Durant, Green has received more training in the Supersonics, and his future should be much better than in history.
The Timberwolves, the fifth pick, chose Corey Brewer.
This draft pick is their own. As mentioned earlier, with the outside and inside, the rest is the front line.
This year's NCAA final, the University of Florida and Ohio State, can be said to be the stars shining.
