Chapter 178 This time, there is someone behind me(1/2)
"Damn it, soft guy, can't you be more accurate at critical moments?"
"In the next game against the Rockets, you won't be so missed at a critical moment like tonight, right?"
"I know I shouldn't have hope for you. Softball, Peja scored a total of 6 three-pointers tonight, but she still couldn't save you. Softball, you're just a softball!"
Golden One Arena.
100 to 106.
The Kings lost to the Memphis Grizzlies at their home court by 6 points.
Chris Webber made an "old problem" in the last moment, and the key missed the shot, which resulted in the Kings being forced to foul. The Grizzlies' youth team did not give a chance. Paul Gasol steadily hit the free throw, and the Grizzlies successfully won the game.
In fact, if the defeat in this game is not much. The Kings are still ranked third in the West, currently only behind the Rockets and Spurs, and 3.5 wins ahead of the Timberwolves.
Moreover, the Grizzlies are in good shape this season, currently ranked sixth in the West.
Being able to rank sixth in the West, where the heroes compete, can be seen that their strength this season is indeed very good...
There is nothing to accept losing to them.
But when Chris Webber passed the audience and walked towards the home player passage, the "soft eggs" were heard everywhere.
Looking at Chris Webber's expression, there was no difference, and it seemed that he was used to all this.
He also had no choice but to be used to it. Since he lost to the Rockets again last season's playoffs and was called "soft otter" by some fans, he gradually lost the trust and respect of Sacramento fans.
Especially since this season, they gave more love to Pejastoyakovic, especially on the night when they won the game, as long as they were at home, the "mvp" sound would be heard directly.
But once the goal is lost, the Kings fans will squirt "soft eggs" at Chris Webber like tonight.
He was also very sad at the beginning of this season, but after listening to it too much, he gradually adapted.
Well... he thought he had adapted!
But at this moment, when he heard the "Rockets", his body froze slightly, and then he said to the fans who were still scolding: "Listen, I will prove everything!"
Unfortunately, his words now seem to be no different from farting to these fans.
After hearing what he said, the fan couldn't help but stop saring, but instead asked loudly: "What if you lose again? Can you leave Shacramento? We hope you don't delay Peja anymore, he deserves better!"
“…”
This sentence directly hurt Chris Webber, and made him angry in an instant, "Yes, if I can't do it, I will apply for a deal. Are you satisfied? Damn it!"
After saying this, Chris Webber walked into the home player channel angrily.
He said this in anger, and he had never expected that his words would cause such a big noise the next day:
"Chris Webber said: If you don't win the Rockets, I will ask for a deal!"
"In the face of fans' doubts, Chris Webber said: Win or I'll leave!"
"Many experts collectively dislike the Kings and Rockets in a fight, and Chris Webber's Crown is in danger?"
Originally, the Kings and Rockets, as opponents in the second round of the playoffs last season, have now met for the first time in the new season, and have attracted a lot of attention.
Now that Chris Webber said such things, it naturally caused even greater noise.
Most of the media reported on this matter.
In the temporary stadium next to the Golden One Arena, a group of Rockets also talked about this when they were training in the team.
"Will we let go of this game?"
They are all in this world, and Chris Webber has said such words. Anyway, it's just the regular season. Mutombo thought about giving him a "reward" to Chris Webber.
NBA is not only fighting and killing, but also full of human feelings and worldly styles, and it is deep!
But Kalmaron disagreed: "Why are you letting him go? Whoever asked him to say this? Since he said it, he has to be responsible for his own words. We will call him Shacramento!"
As soon as this guy spoke, others also remembered that in the first round of the playoffs last season, Karl Malone and the Jazz were eliminated by Chris Webber and the Kings!
This is "I haven't revenged yet!"
Then there is nothing to say.
Fuck him!
Chris Webber did not regret what he said. Even when interviewing reporters before the game started, he affirmed again: "Yes, I am willing to be responsible for what I said. If I really lose this game against the Rockets, then I will leave Sacramento!"
This is now completely locking down my own way of retreat!
However, what no one noticed was that after saying this, a sense of determination emerged deep in Chris Webber's eyes... He knew more than anyone else what he meant when he said this, but there was no way. He had to say that and then play his own performance in this game!
Because only in this way can he reconstruct his throne... Leaving is not terrible for him. Compared to leaving, he hates the situation where he has to face doubts every day. This is undoubtedly more painful than failure for him, who is arrogant!
He was determined, and Chris Webber also showed his determination from the beginning of the game. As the best inside passer in the league, he could even remove "one of it". He was extremely calm in this game. Under the consumption of the "meat shield", he actually got three assists in the first quarter and did not make even a single mistake.
In the second quarter, when Chris Webber discovered that the Rockets' defense began to target his teammates more, he also decisively changed his playing style, no longer focusing on passing but on personal offense.
Breakthrough, CNB has back shots!
Chris Webber fired all out on this night that was crucial to him, scoring 11 points in the second quarter.
Bill Walton looked at his performance and said sincerely: "This talented big man!"
It was also his outstanding performance. The Kings led by as much as 6 points at the end of the half.
Chris Webber's statistics are as gorgeous as his playing style: 16 points, 5 assists and 5 rebounds!
When the half ended, the Kings fans at the scene were also conquered by Chris Webber's performance and shouted his name loudly. The cheers made Chris Webber smile after entering the home team's player channel.
But he knew he couldn't relax yet!
Half a day left!
Stick to half again!
Maintain the performance in the first half!
He silently recited in his heart...
However, in the second half, the Rockets changed their strategy and no longer allowed Chris Webber to occupy a high position. The Rockets players who faced him also began to increase their physical confrontation with him.
This forced Chris Webber to leave the high.
A high position is the best support position for big players. Of course, more than ten years later, with the further improvement of basketball concepts, this concept will be overturned. By that time, the best support position for big players is actually the top of the arc!
The tactic of transferring the ball across a large scale can really force the opponent's defense to expand very much...
After leaving the high position, Chris Webber can only go to the low position. To put it bluntly, passes at the low position are to feed teammates who have successfully cut the gap, which greatly reduces the role of Chris Webber in sorting out the offensive rhythm.
In addition, he could barely deal with the "Meat Shield" at the high position, but when he reached the low position, the torture suddenly increased... But this season, he was still Brad Miller, who was a supportive inside player like him, and his most feared thing was to strangle with the "Meat Shield". Therefore, he really couldn't help with the situation in Chris Webber, so he could only stand by and watch.
Chris Webber became the Rockets' breakthrough.
As physical fitness further declined in the fourth quarter, Chris Webber made many mistakes!
The Rockets seized on his mistakes and quickly made a scoring wave.
At 10 minutes and 17 seconds in the fourth quarter, the Rockets successfully widened the gap to 10 points. By this time, the winner was basically decided.
After Chris Webber missed the empty basket, the Kings fans in the audience suddenly burst out and shouted:
"Soft egg!"
"Soft egg!"
"Soft egg!"
At the beginning, there were only a small piece of fans shouting, but in the end it turned into a large piece, including the fans who shouted Chris Weber's name at the end of the first half, were also shouting "soft eggs" at this moment!
If you really want to say something, even their shouts are louder than other fans. If the person who loves you the most, they are often the person who hates you the most. Some fans of the Kings interpreted this sentence well tonight!
Of course, in their opinion, their reaction was normal, because Chris Webber has been like this many times, giving them hope and disappointing them at the last moment...
The sound of "soft eggs" lasted for a long time until the Rockets officially won the game 98-88.
The panting Chris Webber held his knees with his hands. He was not angry at all when he listened to the "soft eggs" of these fans. Until this moment, he felt that he had once again let down the fans of the Kings, but when these "soft eggs" sounded, his guilt suddenly disappeared.
He knew it was time for him to leave Sacramento!
Yes, he planned to do what he said, if he lost the game, he would leave, but at that time he wanted to prove himself, but at this moment he was a little worried and he wanted to leave this sad place!
Kal Malone, who was upset at first, listened to the "soft egg" voices in the audience, was stunned for a moment. He had never thought that Chris Weber's situation was like this... Isn't he the "king" of this city? When was he disliked to this extent?
He subconsciously glanced at Chris Webber next to him, and didn't know what to say for a moment. He could feel Chris Webber's mood because he could imagine how sad he would be if the fans of Salt Lake City treated him like Kings fans!
"To be honest, I didn't expect to see this situation tonight. That's Chris Webber! Two years ago, he brought the Kings back to the Western Conference Finals stage. He is the most gorgeous team in the entire league. He has contributed to this team. Even if he failed to lead this team to the highest honor in the end, he shouldn't (being scolded "soft eggs" in the audience). This is really annoying!"
Kal Malone therefore supported Chris Weber after the game.
Yao Ming also said: "Real fans will never abandon their stars at any time. Tonight, the Kings fans are obviously a bit too much!"
But interestingly, both of them, Rockets players supported Chris Webber, but none of the Kings players spoke for Chris Webber. They kept silent about what the fans on the scene did.
It was also after witnessing what his teammates did that Chris Webber finally made up his mind. When facing the first sentence of the reporter's interview after the game, he directly said: "I will fulfill my promise and leave Sacramento. Now, I hope the team I join can come and quote!"
...
As it turns out, although Chris Webber was called a "soft" by Sacramento fans, there are really many general managers who want to pursue him in the free market!
Just when the Rockets left Sacramento and arrived in Minnesota, Yao Ming learned from his agent Bill Duffy that the general manager of the five teams had quoted the Kings!
Of course, this is normal. As Yao Ming knows, Chris Webber, who had minimally invasive surgery for knee injury, had teams who wanted to try to "scratch a prize", not to mention that Chris Webber's knee has not been injured yet...
I just don’t know where this guy will end up!
If you go to a team without a boss, maybe it's nothing.
In the past few years he has proved that he is not suitable to be a boss!
But if you go to a team with absolute core and become the second leader, I am afraid that that team will immediately become the most competitive team in the league!
This is also why Chris Webber is so popular!
To be continued...
