196: Avengers Assemble(1/2)
I'm in Chou Country and just got off the plane.
As soon as Li Ang got off the plane, he was blinded by a flash of light.
As the only All-Star player of the Detroit Pistons and the most successful Chinese basketball player at present, Li Ang's traffic is indeed very high.
But these are not the main reasons why so many reporters came to Detroit to surround Leon.
The reason why Li Ang has attracted so much attention is mainly because he just played a shocking game in the Asian Games, which is rare in 500 years.
In that game, Li Ang scored 22 points and 8 rebounds in limited time.
The most important thing is that he knocked down 7 Korean players by himself.
One of them's chin is still hanging with a wire.
The brawl between the Chinese team and the South Korean team at the Asian Games has spread across the ocean and around the world.
To be honest, this may be the most out of the Asian Games.
The previous Asian Games, let alone attract Westerners, even in Asia, the spread was very limited.
This year's Asian Games is as popular as the Olympic Games for basketball fans.
The unprecedented brawl in that international competition made every basketball fan and fighting fan hooked.
It is estimated that only the Chinese team has this ability to intertwine two unrelated fan groups.
This game also made fans shout the slogan "Fighting basketball does not separate families."
If you want to play basketball well and win glory for your country by becoming the MVP of the World Championships, you must first learn to fight well.
"Li, FIBA has decided to suspend you for six games. What do you think? Your number of suspensions is already among the highest in FIBA?"
After getting off the plane, the reporter's first question almost made Li Ang stumble.
Don't rank for this kind of thing, you bastard!
But speaking of it, because there are not many FIBA games in the first place, many players may not be able to play 12 FIBA games in their entire career.
And Li Angguang was banned for 12 games, which is indeed rare.
What is an international superstar?
How dare you be called an international superstar if you don't break some records?
He was suspended just after winning the World Championship MVP. Li Ang is probably the first one in history.
Being suspended for six games also means that Li Ang will miss next year's Asian Championships again.
Li Ang is really afraid that he is the MVP of the World Championships, but his score in the Asian Championships has always been 0.
"Li, I heard that WWE intends to give you a contract worth tens of millions of dollars. Are you interested in changing careers after your contract expires next year?"
The second question made Li Ang, who had just recovered, almost fall again.
It is normal for NBA players to have transfer scandals, but Nima, when NBA players have transfer scandals with WWE, Li Ang can be regarded as setting a precedent.
From the moment Li Ang got off the plane to when Li Ang got in the car to pick him up, the reporters asked very strange questions.
There is no way, mainly because what happened at the Asian Games was really weird.
If you search for the keyword "Asian Games Men's Basketball Highlights" on the Internet, almost all the videos on the first page are of Li Ang leading the Chinese team to defeat the South Korean team in a three-three system.
There are no videos of basketball playing at all.
It redefined basketball game highlights.
Of course, the Korean men's basketball team also became a laughing stock because of this brawl.
People laugh at Koreans who can't even play dirty.
Fans are not blind. This incident has caused such a big fuss that major media and sports channels have replayed and reviewed the entire conflict.
And almost all fans can see that it was the Koreans who played the dirty trick first.
The trigger for the conflict was that Xu Zhangxun removed Yao Ming's arm and kicked Yao Ming in the head.
Combined with the various misdeeds of the South Korean team in the previous World Cup, the Western media has long been disgusted.
So this time, the Chinese team was directly given the titles of "Light of Sportsmanship" and "Pioneer of Evil" by the media from various countries...
It is equivalent to the Chinese team having a fight and showing a sense of sportsmanship.
This wave of Korean teams hit a hard rock, which made the media in other countries extremely happy.
Don’t you like to play dirty? Don’t you like to play kung fu? You’ve met the rough one this time, hahahaha!
Especially the media in Italy and Spain are just short of portraying Leon as a superhero fighting against the evil world.
Sitting in the car, Li Ang shook his head.
I was so lucky to be the MVP of the World Championships, but I wasn’t popular playing basketball, and then I became famous because of fighting...
However, Li Ang is also convinced. It is estimated that only the Korean sports team in the world will be beaten and everyone will applaud.
On this issue, people around the world are united as never before.
After all, Koreans are notorious for more than just football and basketball courts in the sports world.
In the lightweight men's boxing match at the 1988 Seoul Olympics, the legendary Ugly player Roy Jones Jr. faced South Korea's Park Hee-hong.
Roy Jones Jr. dominated the Koreans throughout the game and ended up with an overwhelming hit count of 86 to 32.
However, when the final bell rang, the referee raised Park Hee-hong's hand and awarded him the victory.
It can only be said that this referee is really dedicated and will not forget to continue working even if he is blind.
But soon, people knew why the referee was blind.
Later, in another boxing match between South Korean player Fan Zhongyi, because the referee finally ruled that the Korean lost, after the match, the entire coaching team of the Korean team went up to beat the referee and beat him on the spot...
This kind of thing probably only happens in this magical country.
It’s no wonder that the old man from before risked being trolled to death to decide that the South Korean team won, otherwise he might not be able to go home.
Not to mention, the Koreans are able to play dirty tricks again and again in non-confrontational sports like short track speed skating.
It's really satisfying for such a notorious sports team to be beaten.
Fortunately for the Koreans, Yao Ming was not injured in that game, not even a skin injury.
Otherwise, I'm afraid it won't be as simple as teaching a lesson.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! After returning from Busan, the Basketball Association naturally held a criticism meeting.
Of course, because this summer the Chinese team won both the World Championships and the Asian Games, and their results were very impressive.
Therefore, this criticism conference is just a process, and no major punishments are imposed.
Probably the biggest punishment was that Xiao Zhu was forced to write five self-criticisms.
As one of the youngest players in the national team and the person who wrote the best essay on the national team, this punishment can be said to be very humane.
Generally speaking, although this big brawl was obviously disgraceful, it did not have much negative impact on the image of the Chinese team.
On the contrary, the whole world now knows that the Chinese team is not someone to be trifled with. They are not afraid of playing ball and even less afraid of fighting.
In the 2000 Olympic Games, the 2001 Asian Championships, and the 2002 Asian Games, the Chinese team caused fights for three consecutive years, which is the worst in the international basketball world. Who dares to cause them?
The Chinese team gained gold medals and fame, and Li Ang also gained a lot personally.
In addition to the experience in the nine games of the World Championships and the physical fitness of 7 in the final national competition system, Li Ang also gained 4 points of three-point ability, 5 points of short-range shooting ability and 6 points of strength attribute in the Asian Games!
Don't ask, just ask with your own hands.
After the fight with the Korean team, Li Ang's system of rewarding good and punishing evil really paid off.
This time, the conflict was because Daba was hit on the small head, and Xiao Yao was hit on the big head. In addition, during the fight, Li Ang helped Zhu Ba get out of the siege.
Therefore, Li Ang broke the record and got the wool of three people at once!
Having three people at once is a top-notch enjoyment~
I got 4 points of three-point attributes from Zhu Ba, 5 points of short-range attributes from Xiao Yao, and 6 points of strength attributes from Daba.
The 4-point three-point attribute still cannot save the fact that Liang's three-point shooting is not as accurate as Messi's feet, but it is worse than nothing. At least it has laid a certain foundation for adding three-pointers in the future.
The 5-point short-range shooting attribute is very thirst-quenching. Li Ang's short-range shooting attribute has reached 85, which makes him more confident in attacking in the low post.
As for the 6-point strength attribute, it will undoubtedly take Li Ang's attack ability to the next level!
Overall, the six-game ban is well deserved.
I was beaten with a stick, gained a reputation, and became stronger.
What more bikes do you want?
If possible, Li Ang really wants to play the Korean team once a year.
Xu Zhangxun: Great Sage, please take away your magical powers. I still have to hang a wire from my chin!
After returning to his new home in Detroit, Leon went to the sofa and finally could take a breath.
However, it is almost mid-October now, and in a dozen days, the 2002-03 season will start.
To be continued...
