Chapter one hundred and fifty-two
Two days later, Philadelphia.
The Raptors slaughtered 76ers, and Li Xing scored 35 points, 20 rebounds, 8 assists and 10 blocks, playing the strongest game of the season.
They returned to their home court with five consecutive victories.
"Dante once humiliated you in front of the media, what do you want to say to him?"
After the game, the reporter threw the embarrassing questions in front of Elton Brand.
"I don't know why Rachi said those things. At least he looks like a good person on the court. We have been young. Young people always do some ridiculous things for no reason. I fully understand him." Brand can only say that, who told him to be completely exhausted by Li Xing.
After the road trip, the Raptors now have a 3-day offseason day, so they can take this time to rest and prepare for the game.
On that day, Li Xing asked for leave from the team to participate in the Canadian special series of TNT Tian Group.
Li Xing was not interested in these interview programs until he met Barkley. Barkley was quite similar to him. After the Clippers Battle was over, they became friends after saying a few words.
At this time, in addition to Barkley, the TNT group also had Kenny Smith, Reggie Miller, Smiling Assassin, Chris Webber and others.
"Now, let's invite the star of tomorrow tonight, Rachi "Dante" Lee~~"
Li Xing took the stage and showed goodwill with all retired veteran superstars and veteran role players.
"Hello, it's great to see you." Li Xing was the first to walk towards Weber, trying to shake hands with him, but he looked angry.
Barkley smiled and said, "Latch, unless you apologize to Chris, he will not forgive you."
"I apologize for what I said. I have no objection to you. You are a great player. Although you have no championship and have never won the division final..." Li Xing said, and his tone changed: "Of course it's not your fault. It's all the referee!"
Webber resisted the urge to sway his fist at Li Xing's cheek: "I forgive you, Lachi."
"Young man, I'm glad you didn't say anything bad about me in front of the media."
The smile of the assassin can really warm people's hearts. It's a blessing that Li Xing didn't know that he had this smiling face when he was taking out someone else's eggs, otherwise he would definitely refuse to shake hands with him.
"Isaiah, the reason why Rachi didn't mention you is because there was no stupid reporter who said Rachi was the tall version of Isaiah Thomas."
"Chuck, you should keep these words in your heart. It hurts so much if you say them."
Li Xing greeted these idle old guys one by one, and then sat down.
"Okay, everyone, come to the first part of our Star of Tomorrow, and have the truth to ask questions and answers."
Host Ernie Johnson asked with a smile: "Latch, this is your second season, so who do you think is the toughest opponent you have ever encountered?"
“The trickiest?”
Li Xing passed it in his mind, but it really didn't.
“Taylor Hansblu.”
As soon as Li Xing said this, the audience burst into laughter, and everyone knew this meme.
"I swear, a manager told me privately that if I had the chance, I would definitely trade Taylor to his team, and then torture him in various ways to repay his trick of concealing the world." Weber said affirmatively.
"What does it mean to hide the truth?"
"This lunatic used a game to deceive all NBA teams and let Rachi fall to the sixth pick. He is a genius!"
The smiling assassin smiled and said, "That game has become an insolvent mystery in the basketball world. Rachi, what happened at that time?"
"I don't want to make excuses. All the truth is in the game. I'm indeed beaten by Taylor. I won't deny this."
Lee Hsing said: "Then I've been the only game I've messed up so far, so, thank you Taylor for sending me to Toronto."
"So that's your answer? The toughest opponent you've encountered in your career is Taylor Hansblu?" Johnson asked again.
Li Xing nodded silently, as if he heard the crying of Dwight Howard and others.
"Why isn't Dwight Howard?" Some people just don't worry about big things, like Kenny Smith.
Li Xing knew why he asked this, and he was not afraid of him asking. He dared to participate in the show, but he was not afraid of making things big.
"I admit that Dwight is a center above level..."
Upon hearing this, the expressions of the senior senior who was doing the work froze.
Above level...
Above level?
above?
level?
Brother, do you know that before you, he was already the number one center in the league? If it weren't for you, he might have dominated this throne for many years.
Now what do you mean is the center of the level above the level? What do you mean? If he is only the level above the level, what are the other people? Not at the level?
Everyone looked at each other and Barkley asked, "Is there no better opponent than Dwight?"
"I want to do it, too."
Li Xing looked at each of them and smiled faintly: "I also want to fight Shake O'Neal, Hakeem Olajuwon, Patrick Ewing, David Robinson, Alonzo Mourning, Kareem Jabbar, Bill Walton, Moses Malone, Wilt Chamberlain, but I only have Dwight Howard in my era, what can I do? I am helpless."
"Okay, let's get to the second question."
"Do you have any thoughts on Chris Bosh bringing talent to the South Coast?" Johnson said.
"He said he was for the promise, it's okay, he could do it, we were born free."
Li Xing said: "That's all."
"For the promise? Is this what he said to you?"
Everyone vaguely felt that this was amazing news, which showed that the three giants had been plotting together for a long time.
"Yes, I've talked to him." Li Xing nodded.
"Okay, last question."
Johnson asked: "What do you think the Raptors' prospects this season?" "This is a boring question." Li Xing strongly despised the questioner.
Then, he said, "We will win the championship, that's certain."
"You mean, will you win the Miami Heat?"
"Who said the Miami Heat will definitely win the championship?"
Li Xing smiled and asked back, he finally had a sense of superiority as a time traveler. Although he was a pseudo-fan, he also knew that the Heat's three defeated the finals in the first year of the formation, and James also played the worst finals in his career.
"Oh? Do you think there are other teams that can stop Miami?"
Li Xing really wants to give up the championship. Anyway, the prophecy has been issued now, just wait for the Heat to wait for the Mavericks to be taught to be a good person.
But it still doesn't work.
Li Xing thought for a while and replied: "We can stop Miami. As long as we are here, they will not be able to rush out of the East. Starting this year, every year from now on, the Raptors will be the overlord of the league."
“…”
The studio was silent.
Everyone knows Li Xing’s big mouth.
But, just like the friends around Li Xing, you know that he will say something terrible, when he really says it, you still feel unrealistic like "I'm afraid I'm not dreaming, right?" "He really said it?"
Even if this is your truth, even if we live in reality, even if you look down on yourself very much, you should pay attention to the influence, right?
But that's what Li Xing said.
It can be foreseen that when this episode is broadcast, countless people will diss Li Xing online.
After all, they didn't even make a breakthrough in the Eastern Conference semifinals last season.
When talking about these issues, everyone habitually forgets that he is less than 21 years old. This is only his second year, but his standards have risen to the level of a superstar in the emperor.
From this moment on, for Li Xing, he could only have a championship in his life.
Just based on what he said, if he can't win the championship, even breathing is wrong.
It was also after saying this that Li Xing heard the sound of the system for a long time.
"Trigger Season Event: Crown as King."
This is the first event he triggered this season. As his rating reaches 90, few people dare to challenge him.
Even if he was talking all kinds of sluts at the press conference, it would be difficult to trigger the incident.
This is a problem caused by high ratings, but the system also told him that the higher the ratings, the harder the event and the richer the rewards.
After recording the show, the smiling assassin came over and patted Li Xing on the shoulder: "You are really good. I have never seen any young man as bold as you."
"Even boldness can't describe what he said in the studio tonight."
The host was so happy: "Believe me, after this episode, the ratings will explode."
"Does there a lot of people watching your show?" Li Xing didn't know that their show was so popular.
Smith pretended to be angry and said, "Young man, are you underestimating our TNT's strength?" "Of course not, I just don't have any interest in TV shows." Li Xing said.
If so many people watch TNT Tiantuan’s program, he can come to visit often in the future. It is also great to brag with these retired old men.
A week later, the program recorded by Li Xing at TNT was broadcast as scheduled.
It is understood that this episode hit a new high in the ratings of TNT Tiantuan, and the online click rate exceeded one million in two days.
Li Xing's words were widely spread similar to the king's declaration.
Strangely, this time, the sound of looking at him was not as much as before.
Because many people think that he is indeed the hope of fighting the Heat.
One hot comment was particularly eye-catching: "If someone can rule this era, if someone can stop Miami, then this guy must be Ratch Lee. Although he is a bastard, I hate him like a fly, but that's the truth."
Because Li Xing made a big fuss on the TNT program, Snyder finally couldn't help it and strictly prohibited Li Xing from participating in various TV programs in the next month.
Li Xing protested, but did not achieve any results, so he had to accept Snyder's punishment obediently.
