Chapter 408: Challenge
Updated: 2013-03-28
I really don’t know what the guys who arranged the NBA’s schedule are thinking. Maybe they are happy to see a big melee on Christmas. Of course, the Discipline Committee will definitely have a headache.
But this damn schedule is arranged like this. Those who are not afraid of big troubles will put the Celtics and the Cavaliers together so bluntly.
Maybe they all like to see carnival scenes on Christmas. As for the chaos or not, it obviously has nothing to do with them. Some people even say after watching the schedule, "Does we want Christmas? Isn't we just lively?"
Well, if Stein knew that the schedule was arranged like this, or he knew that the Celtics would be so crazy this season, then he really hoped that the schedule could be adjusted.
At least don't let the Celtics and the Cavaliers just run into each other. Not to mention the disciplinary committee's fear, including the ruler of the league, may be a little trembling now.
The main reason is that Stein really doesn't want to see any violent incidents on the stadium. When O'Neal and Chen Feng fought last season, the hot speculation from many media made the league passive.
Stein has always been committed to building a clean alliance, but as a result, the wild boy who had just entered the league just sabotaged him.
Although the punishment was quite heavy at that time, Chen Feng's performance in the new season was like Stein's demonstration. This kid has never been a conservative person. He always touched other people's heartstrings.
Stein is not a girl, but now he is even more fragile than such a girl. If a guy who may become the All-Star ticket king swings his fist again on the court, then how should he deal with this matter?
And behind Chen Feng, Auerbach and Falke, are there? These old guys are not so easy to deal with! Do you really think these old foxes are so easy to fool?
At least Stein is not so naive yet. If he really wants to cause trouble, then the designation will make people feel very troubled.
If there was another big battle between Chen Feng and the little emperor, oh no, God probably wouldn't be able to bear it!
God knows whether they will suddenly go crazy. Don’t forget that the storm they created last season was already a headache. Do you want to do it again this season?
If someone really wants to watch the fun, it only means that he is the kind of guy who is not afraid of heaven and earth. I am afraid that no one of the referees in the NBA now wants to enforce the law in this game. God knows what will happen.
Who doesn’t know what the relationship between these two cities in the east is? At least they have been in a completely opposite state since last season, and they can’t stand each other.
The little emperor was even more blunt. He didn't like Boston. That city had a strong hostility towards him and the Cavaliers. As for why, he would definitely not say it.
However, the meaning inside and outside is nothing more than the Celtics playing style, which is too aggressive. This is a more elegant statement. To put it bluntly, these guys are simply too rude!
They don’t know what is popular in the NBA now. What Stein wants is performance, not hand-to-hand combat with his elbows! What do you guys want to do? Do you want to turn the stadium into a battlefield?
Moreover, the elbows and body collisions were all aimed at themselves. How could the little emperor endure such a scene? The Celtics were like the Pistons before, and they used all kinds of tricks!
Gang Qiao was yelling at the group of hooligans in the Pistons back then, but now the little emperor can only complain to the reporters. If he really swung his fist, he might be worried that he was not the opponent of those beasts.
After all, Chen Feng's tough physique is there. If he really had a one-on-one pk, the little emperor's physical fitness would probably not be able to gain any advantage. Fighting is really a technical job.
Anyway, the little emperor is not accustomed to the Celtics' playing style now, and it is not a news anymore. He hates the kind of attacks that use any means. Yes, that's right, it's just attacks, and it's all-out!
This is not how arrogant the little emperor is, and he dares to attack a city at the risk of offending fans. It is just that Boston's ferocity really makes the little emperor who wants to ascend the throne very unhappy.
As the favorite of the league, he never thought that there were such a group of good-spirited guys who dared to offend him like this, and there were all kinds of messy ways, including unscrupulous technical fouls!
When many people were thinking about when the little emperor would be able to survive the purgatory journey like Master Qiao, and then lifted the championship trophy, the Celtics came out from the stalker and became a roadblock.
Their lineup last season was a bit thick and not very strong, but they dared to pull the Cavaliers off the throne without hesitation. Then they would be more confident this season.
And they are still the first in the league now. If they really put the Cavaliers under their feet and are still at the opponent's doorstep, uh, Stein is really worried that some big conflict will happen that shocks the league.
These two cities are now in a completely hostile state, and they are almost catching up with the feud between Boston and Los Angeles. The Little Emperor can be said to be the least popular player in Boston, and no one is there.
Boston supporters certainly wouldn't think the Cavaliers are the true destiny. Even though they had reached the Finals last season and were going further than their own team, what would that mean?
They prefer to interpret the current state as the restoration of the Boston dynasty, rather than their chance to plunder the little emperor, "Victory is achieved by oneself, not by others."
"The Celtics used one victory after another to send themselves to the top position in the league, and the crowning ceremony of the Little Emperor, for Boston, was just the imagination of Cleveland fans."
"If you really want to say who has more historical background, in the NBA, only the Lakers can compete with Boston. As for Cleveland, sorry, can you remind me of what honors they have ever received?"
"Does their Quick Loan Stadium also have more than a dozen retired jerseys hanging on the roof? Or do they also have more than a dozen championship flags? Or do they have more than a dozen members of the Hall of Fame? If none of these, why do they think they should be winners? Is it because the Little Emperor is a player valued by the league? It's really like this? I'm afraid that only those businesses will think so, Boston will not admit these!"
You have to say that if Boston fans and media really look down on anyone, they will really poke the pain in others with a knife. They just caught the little emperor's fact that he has not won the championship yet.
Aren't you the little emperor? Are you constantly breaking various records? Then what else do you have besides these? Do you have a champion? Do you have a ring? You are a regular season MVP, so can you be a final MVP?
None of these, why are you and me? Do you really think Boston is in the countryside? Are there no one here who knows it?
When this city won eight consecutive championships, your sister was still a pool of liquid. Oh, wrong, even your father was liquid, let alone you. Since you don’t have much capital to show off, then are you still awesome?
Is Boston obliged to be your stepping stone? OK, come and try stepping, be careful, don’t sprain your ankle. The most important thing for Celtics is hard-boned ruthless people!
The Boston media never talk to you politely, so their satire is also very spicy, especially when someone tries to challenge the great history of the Celtics, it will be even more obvious.
Since the little emperor hates this city, or rather, he hates the collision with the Celtics, the Bostonians are eager to disgusting their opponents. Do you don’t like us? Then I won’t let you win!
I care whether you are at home or not! Anyway, if you really meet head-on, then give you some colors! Otherwise, you will really think you are the supreme emperor.
The emperor, your sister, took off your clothes and let you go out on the streets with bare ass. That's the emperor, but your new clothes to ascend the throne have been stepped on by these animals in Boston.
"I hope there will be no bad things happening in this meeting." Before the Christmas War was ignited, journalists from Cleveland could only pray in the newspaper.
Everyone knows that the little holidays between Chen Feng and the little emperor are so small. The collision last season was definitely an unforgettable encounter for the little emperor. He may have never been so embarrassed.
Even after the game, James was chattering and expressing his dissatisfaction, "That's a butcher who doesn't know how to respect his opponent, murderer! I don't know how to evaluate such an opponent anymore!"
"When your foul may ruin someone's career, shouldn't you reflect on it?"
This is the question the little emperor had against Chen Feng. Of course, that bald boy had never responded to anything at all.
The main reason is that there is really nothing to say. Anyway, you have been killed, and Chen Feng will take the initiative to apologize to you?
What, then why don’t you tell me what you were doing when Valecho’s grandson was using a shady move and used a trick? Have you ever thought about what that Brazilian was doing?
"The mouth grows on my face, and I can say whatever I want, but what he says has something to do with me?"
But when Murphy asked Chen Feng, the boy's answer made Murphy and Xie Miaomiao speechless.
But when you think about it, it's true that the little emperor stands on the moral high ground to show off his might. The more you pay attention to him, the more that guy may mobilize all media to criticize your actions.
Since that's the case, why not leave him alone and say whatever he likes. If you say it, do I have to listen?
Compared to the little emperor's previous evaluation of Gang Qiao and Kobe, I believe everyone can hear from his tone that this guy may have almost cursed at that time.
Even Murphy said, "If this were on the street, that guy might have the idea of pulling his gun."
Well, this is not an alarmist statement, but a very realistic speculation. Since the little emperor entered this alliance, he has been praised and cared for. No one has ever made him suffer such embarrassment.
More people give him praise, and few people say bad things. Even if the Cleveland Cavaliers have never won the championship, most of the people left for the young emperor are encouraged and expected.
But Chen Feng is such a guy who doesn't believe in evil. He doesn't care whether you are a pride of heaven or a sought-after little emperor. If he wants to touch you, he will definitely take action.
Chen Feng didn't care about the consequences when he pulled the little emperor from the air to the floor. For him, he did that at that time, to kill the other party's momentum.
Little Emperor? Yes, are you the emperor and I have a dime relationship? You want to show off your power and jump around in front of me. I can’t deal with you? At worst, it’s a technical foul.
Barkley, who had watched the game scene, said, "That kid's approach is just like Ranbir. If anyone wants to act wild in front of him, he must first consider whether he is seeking death if he does this."
It was not a murder, but in the eyes of others, it may be even more terrible than murder. The Cleveland media said at the time that they were really afraid that the little emperor would be injured by such an attack. The scene was terrible!
There is such a festival that can be imagined by personal imagination when the Christmas war broke out between Cleveland and Boston, what would these two enemies look like?
Of course, in front of the media, the little emperor must still maintain his usual style. He will not deliberately belittle anyone, even if he must be the one who hates Chen Feng and is itchy.
But in front of the reporter, he would also say generously, "Now the Celtics are the number one in the league, their strength is shocking, and I don't think it will be an easy game."
"But because it's at our home court, Cleveland won't be scared, because our goal is to achieve better results in the playoffs than last season, and that won't change."
"We will do our best to contribute a wonderful game to the fans. At home, we have no reason to lose. We just hope that the tickets will not be too difficult to buy at that time, and the game will definitely be worth the ticket price."
I have to say that no matter when the little emperor was, he was very open to the official rhetoric in front of the media. Even if some media reporters deliberately amplified the conflicts last season, he could avoid them.
This kind of media public relations ability is definitely not something that can be trained in a day or two. The answers that are not missed are more about people focusing on the game than the grudge between him and Chen Feng.
Of course, the little emperor did not show weakness. He already said clearly that at home, the Cleveland Cavaliers had no reason to lose, which was equivalent to sending a challenge, and all they wanted was a victory.
As for the reaction of the Celtics, the little emperor didn't care. Anyway, many people could see that this guy was so excited that he wanted to give the Celtics a powerful encounter at home.
"The Cavaliers, which are already ranked second in the East, want to use their home advantage to launch an attack. They hope that in the Christmas game, the Celtics can taste the second defeat of the season."
Such fanning of the flames is just to make the atmosphere of the game more exciting. Since it is a Christmas battle that is highly anticipated, if there is no smell of gunpowder, it always feels like something is missing.
It's really hard to make for the old man Stein. He probably didn't expect that such a confrontation would be paid attention to by so many people, and it was not entirely because of the conflict between Chen Feng and the little emperor.
Now it seems that the Cavaliers have experienced reaching the finals last season. What they said goes a step further, just to strive for the championship, but the strength of the Celtics has temporarily lagged behind.
However, with the little emperor's words at the bottom, it seems that they are planning to start to make efforts in the middle of the season. They want to let people know that the Celtics are not the only strong team in the East!
Especially after gaining Wallace and others in the transfer market, the Cavaliers clearly felt that they had the possibility of coming from behind. Although they lost a little at the beginning of the season, it is not a fantasy to catch up now.
Maybe they may not have the Celtics' tough record of more than 20 consecutive wins, but in the East, the Cavaliers can definitely guarantee that they will rank in the top three.
And with the experience of reaching the finals last season, now it is not necessarily better for the Pistons or the Magic.
The little emperor's current ambition is to go for the championship. Even if the Celtics block the way, he wants to step over.
Gang Qiao has been in a position for seven years before he can achieve success. Now the little emperor has been almost seven years. If he wants to surpass his predecessors, he must at least start quickly.
Otherwise, no one knows whether he can still be the favorite of the league. After all, a little emperor without a championship ring always seems to be missing something to prove himself.
But now that's the case, in the East, the competition between the Cavaliers and the Celtics will probably continue. At least if anyone who wants to make it to the finals this season will have to pass the opponent's level.
And the Christmas war has now become a stage for previews. Whoever can win may have the advantage.
This is not absolute, but when face-to-face, neither Boston nor Cleveland want to achieve a failure.
As for the holidays between Chen Feng and the little emperor, there is no hope that they can go with the wind. Perhaps after this collision, they can also become a feud.
Just like the Celtics and the Lakers, conflicts are accumulated, not formed in one day.
Chen Feng, who has never regarded the little emperor as a dish, used to be the same now.
Little Emperor? Please, do you really think this is the medieval era? Gangmaster Qiao did not say what kind of emperor he was.
You're fine calling yourself king? Chen Feng has never been used to others' habits. In the past, it's even more so now. Just like Howard, that's really a guy like you, and you're beating him!
The Christmas battle is about to begin between two Eastern Conference strong teams. Whether the Cavaliers, who are at home, overturn the league's top spot, or whether the Celtics' Celtics conquers the land of Cleveland, are waiting and seeing.
Perhaps even the opponents in the west are waiting and watching. Who is the real boss in the east?
