Chapter 373: The Psychological Perspective
~.-~ Chapter 373 Psychological Views
I swear I didn't give Ben on purpose. Wallace was elbowed, but Detroits didn't think so. The big screen was constantly replaying Ben at the beginning of the fourth quarter. When Wallace hooked me, the shot of my left hand touching the elbow on my right hand, and constantly replaying the moment when I gave Ben after a jump shot. Two unrelated shots were played together by the directors, which caused people's guesses.
The referee did not punish me for a foul. He thought it was a reasonable physical collision because Ben Wallace's defensive movements were too fierce, but the Pistons players surrounded the head coach on duty and kept defending. After the referee gave Clifford Robinson a technical foul, the Pistons players were dispersed.
To protect me, Doug Collins replaced me with Brandon Haywood, but even so, it could not stop the fans from verbing me. For the rest of the time, the entire stadium was filled with booing, "Executioner!", "hypocrite", "murderer", and "boxer" almost all the words related to viciousness appeared in the modified prefix of me.
The game was over, without Ben Wallace's protection against the inside, the Pistons were no match for the Wizards at all. Under the repeated impact of Larry Hughes, Caron Butler, Chauncey Billups and others on the inside, the game lost its suspense early, but the anger of the fans continued.
I ran to the locker room, and countless debris flew over my head halfway. In order to prevent accidents and intensify the conflict again, I did not appear at the post-match press conference, but when the team took the bus to leave the stadium, we were still stuck on the road by the Piston fans, and tomatoes, eggs, etc. were constantly thrown at the bus. It was not until half an hour later that our bus slowly drove to the hotel we were staying.
"At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Ben Wallace hooked his index finger at Kwame Brown and challenged him, but Kwame Brown's reaction to Ben Wallace's provocation was strange. He first showed a mysterious smile on his face, and then he touched his right elbow with his left hand. As for his movement, no one would realize what this meant, but after 1 minute and 03 seconds, everyone knew the meaning of Kwame Brown's action."
"If you dare to provoke me, I will kill you with my elbow. This is what Kwame Brown wants to say. At 1:03 seconds before the fourth quarter, Kwame Brown hit Ben Wallace's head with his right elbow and was diagnosed with a moderate concussion. He needed to rest for one week, which means Ben Wallace will miss the next two playoff games and no Ben. Wallace's Pistons, who protects the inside, are not the Wizards' opponent. In other words, Kwame Brown uses his iron elbow to send the Wizards to the Eastern Conference Finals."
"I don't know how to evaluate Kwame. Brown is such an outstanding talent. Whether it is height, weight, strength and speed, he is enviable. He played a nearly perfect season in the regular season this season. He averaged 25.6 points, 13.2 rebounds, and 3.43 blocks. He was selected for the All-Star Game held in Atlanta this season. Everyone thinks he will be one of the greatest centers in NBA history. He will constantly break the records set by his predecessors and constantly lead the team to victory. After he retires, his jersey will hang high above the Washington Mic Center Arena. He will easily enter the Hall of Fame and press his footprints and handprints..."
"But after he has won a series of glory, we need to talk about his character. Any superstar will face the opponent's tightest defense, and will face the opponent's constant teasing and provocation. Faced with these, Michael Jordan will use his own score to mock his opponent, Reggie Miller will use that extremely accurate three-pointer to defeat his opponent, Charles Barkley will directly wave his fist and fight with his opponent. Each of them is so direct and so straightforward, and they will do everything in the clear..."
"But Kwame Brown doesn't do this. Once he can't defend his opponent's attack, once his defense limits his performance, he will wave his iron elbows without hesitation. Moreover, his iron elbows always look so innocent when they swing, and he won't even get one foul. In the last round against the Pacers, he killed Reggie Miller. At that time, Reggie Miller was leading the Pacers to chase points wildly. In this round, when he faced Ben Wallace's defense, he waved his iron elbows again, and this time he still pretended to be innocent. The poor referees still didn't give him a foul..."
"Kaome Brown is a vicious executioner, but he cast a seemingly mysterious veil on his executioner, making his masterpieces look so full of surprises. But there seemed to be too many accidents happening in Kaome Brown, Vlad Divac, Reggie Miller, Jermaine O'Neal, Ben Wallace... In his career in just two seasons, 7 or 8 people have been hit by him. This frequency is far from that Dennis Rodman and Charles Barkley, who have always appeared as villains. Even compared with the notorious "Bad Boys Legion", it is not much better. Kaome Brown is a complete bastard, a complete hypocrite, a Daltuofu..."
———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
I was sitting on a charter flight back to Washington, looking at the Detroit News I bought at the airport. The newspaper slandered me in a slander. They completely portrayed me as a notorious executioner, a hypocrite, and a bastard who should be cut into pieces.
Looking at what was said in the newspaper, I was a little doubtful if I had given Ben on purpose. Wallace was an iron elbow because I was indeed Ben. Wallace's biggest interest after being injured. Without Ben. Wallace's strong defense, no one in the Pistons' inside line could defend me. I will play very beautiful games in the next game, lead the Wizards to easily win the game, and will successfully lead the team to the Eastern Conference Finals.
I spit out the turbid breath in my chest, put my hands behind my head, closed my eyes, relaxed my spirit, and hoped that my heart, which was upset by the slander in the newspaper, could calm down.
"Kaome! Come here!" Michael Jordan suddenly said to me.
I quickly walked over and got the opposite of Michael Jordan and Doug Collins.
"What's the matter?" I asked in confusion.
"Doug Collins and I just looked at the slow motion replay of your shot, your eyes were looking at the basket, not looking at Ben. Wallace's glance, we can be sure you elbowed Ben. Wallace was a coincidence, but others didn't know that for your reputation, I hope you will hold a press conference after returning to Washington to clarify this matter!"
"Pressure reception! Clarification? How to clarify?" I understood every word Michael Jordan said, but I couldn't understand what Michael Jordan meant. I elbowed Ben Wallace. Others could believe it by talking by mouth. If there was no sufficient evidence, those who were mentally dark would nail me to the shame rack and never let it go.
"I will contact the imaging analysts in the Alliance Technical Supervision Committee and ask them to analyze the scenes on the spot. I think they will give me such face!" Michael Jordan said confidently.
"What do I need to do?" I asked softly.
"Find a better reason for your elbow touching action! Don't tell me that you're just itchy there!" Michael Jordan said to me.
"Okay!" I nodded, and then asked, "Is there anything else?"
Michael Jordan put his left index finger and middle finger together on his forehead. After thinking for a while, he said very seriously: "Although it is very likely that this time it was just a coincidence, I have to say, you did a great job this time..."
I was stunned, I was stunned by the words spit out of Michael Jordan, and he actually said it was great that I fucked Ben Wallace to the ground with one elbow.
After a while, I understood what Michael Jordan meant. In this era when the winner was the king and the loser, who would care about the tears of the loser? As long as the Wizards finally advance to the next round and into the finals, all media will praise the Wizards and worship me.
Not to mention Patrick Ewing, Carl Malone, John Stockton, Charles Barkley and others are losers but they are still remembered by people. They just don’t have the championship ring. Except for the ring, they have won all the honors they deserve. From a certain perspective, they have been very successful.
This utilitarian world, a world where the strong prey on the weak, although I don’t want to admit it, this is reality. It’s just that when we obtain something through immoral means, we need to put a gorgeous coat on ourselves.
............
Michael Jordan was very proud. On the morning of the next day after returning to Washington, DC, Mr. Mark Jerome, an influence analysis expert of the Alliance Technical Oversight Committee, came to Washington with image analysis instruments. My agent and Michael Jordan immediately announced a press conference on the elbow strike in the afternoon.
Although Michael Jordan said nothing would happen, my heart was still a little nervous. I was afraid that I would make things bad. Ivanka Trump sat next to me, gently slapped my arm with his left hand and his right hand kept gently stroking my arm on my arm, trying to comfort my nervousness.
"Look at it, Kwame Brown's eyes were looking at the basket at the moment when he started to jump. His target was the basket. Ben Wallace was about 1.5 meters away from Kwame Brown. Kwame Brown could not make the decision to elbow Ben Wallace at this time..."
"This is the moment when Ben Wallace ran over to make a blocking action after Kwame Brown jumped up. We can see that Ben Wallace's palm was tightly sealed on Kwame Brown's face. It was impossible to see Ben Wallace's head from where Kwame Brown's eyes were, and Ben Wallace's head was 40 cm away from Kwame Brown's elbow, which means that at this time, Kwame Brown could not make the decision to elbow Ben Wallace..."
"This is the image of Kwame Brown's shooting moment. At this time, we obviously saw Kwame Brown's body leaning back, his eyes were looking straight, instead of looking down, and Kwame Brown's elbow was still 25 cm away from Ben Wallace's head, so at this time, there was no possibility of Kwame Brown making an elbow decision..."
"This is the image of Kwame when it falls. We can see that Kwame Brown's eyes are still looking at the basket at this time. It's just that Ben Wallace quickly rushed over to block the block, which made his head directly send to Kwame Brown's elbow, which is only 10 cm apart. That is to say, if Kwame Brown decides to elbow Ben Wallace, then it can only be at this time."
"This is the image when the elbow strike occurs. It has just passed 0.07 seconds from Kwame Brown's decision to elbow strike. Wallace. According to scientific research, the reaction ability parameter of a normal person is 0.125 seconds, that is, it takes 0.5 seconds to find a target ahead to reflect the brain. It takes 0.75 seconds to take measures from the brain to the hands and feet. Although some people react faster, no one has found that the reaction parameters of someone are within 0.1 seconds. This is why the sprinter's reaction time is within 0.1 seconds. That is to say, Kwame Brown cannot have premeditated."
"Kaome Brown has been moving in this area from beginning to end. When shooting, in order to avoid Ben Wallace's block, his body once leaned back, but Ben Wallace rushed over frantically. After he jumped up, his body kept moving toward this side under the action of inertia. I can even say that Ben Wallace himself sent his head to Kwame. Brown's elbow, there was no Kwame. Brown deliberately elbowed Ben Wallace. Everything was a coincidence, a coincidence that Ben Wallace was fighting hard to defend Kwame. Brown. Even if it wasn't Kwame. Brown stood there, and if someone else was someone else, the elbow would definitely happen..." Mark Jerome was explaining, using his professional knowledge to excuse me.
Seeing all the reporters keep lit their heads there, my heart, which had been hanging in my throat, slowly fell back to its original position.
"Can Mr. Mark Jerome analyze Kwame Brown's smile and the right elbow touching movement at the beginning of the fourth quarter?" A reporter stood up and asked at Mark Jerome.
Instead of adjusting the picture to that moment, Mark Jerome stood there and looked around everyone in the hall, and then said in a very serious tone: "Many people linked the mysterious smile of Kwame Brown and the elbow touching action with the elbow hitting Ben. Wallace. Many people did not believe that there was such a coincidence. Many people believed that it was Kwame. Brown had decided at that time to teach Ben. Wallace a lesson. But from the image analysis, I think the two things are isolated and there is no necessary connection. As for why Kwame Brown touched his elbow when Ben. Wallace provoked, this question can only be answered by Kwame Brown!" Mr. Mark Jerome answered seriously.
"Mr. Kwame Brown, why do you laugh when you face Ben Wallace's defense and why do you touch your elbow?" The reporters pointed their finger at me this time.
I moved the microphone to my lips, swallowed, relieved my nervousness, and said slowly: "Very few people make such provocations in the game. In so many games I have participated in, only Reggie Miller used to make provocations against me like that. In that game, I accidentally touched Reggie Miller's eyes with my right elbow. As soon as Ben Wallace made that provocation, I immediately remembered the funny scene of Reggie Miller with those yellow glasses, so I laughed, and then I subconsciously touched myself and hit Reggie Miller's right elbow. I said in my heart that I must not hit Ben Wallace with my elbow, so my elbow will be as famous as Carl Malone, Deakinbe Mutombo..."
"Ha..." Michael Jordan took the lead and laughed.
"But unfortunately, what I didn't want to happen actually happened. My elbow actually touched Ben Wallace's head, but I swear in the name of my mother: I really didn't mean it this time, everything was a coincidence..." I said confidently.
...........
This press conference was a successful conference. I successfully reversed the reporters' views on the "elbow strike incident", which rose from an event that was notorious for sports morality and was considered a coincidence.
In the evening, Michael Jordan invited Mr. Mark Jerome in his private name, and I accompanied me with Ivanka Trump and Doug Collins. On the table, Mr. Mark Jerome talked about laughter and had a very friendly conversation with Doug Collins and Michael Jordan. During the table, there was no discussion about anything related to the elbow strike, except for the words that Mr. Mark Jerome said during the breakup.
"Kaome, there is a psychological point of view: the more you don't want something to happen, the more you will subconsciously make him happen again in your heart..." Mr. Mark Jerome hugged me and said this in my ear.
After saying this, Mr. Mark Jerome gently patted his shoulders, who was afraid of me, and turned to walk towards the vehicle arranged by Michael Jordan. He wanted to rush back to the NBA headquarters overnight.
I was a little stunned. I don't know what Mark Jerome meant to say this, and I don't know why he said this. Do you think I was intentionally elbowing Ben Wallace? I felt a little nervous...
