Chapter 139
Chapter 139
In the end, Mullin, after Nelson's persuasion, agreed to go to a rehabilitation center and receive treatment.
The fact that Nelson put Mullin on the injury list also caused media reports, especially when a reporter took pictures of Mullin entering the rehabilitation center, and it was reported that Mullin was sent to the rehabilitation center for a while because of alcoholism. Frequently boarded the headlines of major media.
In addition, the Warriors' external liaison office kept calling and asking questions one after another, and they never stopped. Even at the entrance of the arena, many reporters gathered, waiting to eat this not-so-small melon.
However, all the players and staff of the Warriors were gagged by Frank and Nelson, and no one could express their opinions on this matter, especially Li Weisi, who was followed by Li Weiguo to prevent him from talking nonsense.
But hiding like this is not an option after all. It will soon be the next game, and if you want to hide, you will not be able to hide. You can only face the reporter.
"West, tell me what you think about Chris Mullin being forced to quit drinking?"
"According to the internal staff of your Warriors, Nelson and Mullin had a big fight, and even fought?"
"I heard that Mullin's real condition was not due to alcoholism, but Western drugs. Is this true?"
At the player's channel that entered the stadium, the media who had been waiting here saw Li Weisi walk in, and rushed forward, posing as if you don't tell me, I won't let you go.
Fortunately, the staff intercepted it. Although it was a bit difficult, Li Weisi was still able to pass through the interview area.
But Li Weisi, who had been silent all this time, couldn’t help explaining angrily when he heard a reporter smearing Mu Lin: “Chris doesn’t have Western drugs, he just drinks, don’t write nonsense!”
Li Weisi's words made the eyes of the group of reporters shine, like sharks smelling blood, they secretly thought there was something going on, and became more enthusiastic about Li Weisi.
"So Mullin is really drunk?"
"And what do you think of Mullin's drinking?"
"..."
Li Weisi never thought that what he explained for Mu Lin would become evidence of Mu Lin's alcoholism.
"Hi! West, why are you here? Long time no see!"
Just when Li Weisi was at a loss and wanted to explain to Mu Lin, and gradually fell into the reporter's trap, someone stood up and interrupted the reporter's inquiry.
The reporters turned sideways one after another, wanting to see which guy dared to destroy the good deeds of our uncrowned king, but when they saw the person coming, they felt that new material had appeared.
Because the opponent in this game is the rookie of the San Antonio Spurs, John Dawkins.
This rookie who served as Li Weisi's background board in the NCAA Finals performed quite qualified. As the team's backup point guard, he averaged 10.3 points, 3.6 assists, and 3.2 rebounds per game.
Although not as dazzling as Li Weisi, he is worthy of his No. 10 pick. After all, this is a sad reminder of the generation!
Such a rookie of the same year and an opponent in the NCAA finals, although it cannot be described as a lifelong enemy, it is still no problem to hype it together. If Frank was here, he would definitely describe the reporter as a CP hype their behaviour.
"Hi! John!" Li Weisi also greeted Dawkins after seeing that it was Dawkins. He didn't realize what Dawkins had done for him.
"It's too noisy here, let's go to another place to catch up on the old days?" Facing some reporters already surrounding him, Dawkins ignored the initiative to propose to Li Weisi.
"it is good!"
With Dawkins' rescue, the two quickly passed through the interview area without being blocked.
Walking into the player tunnel, not far from the locker room, the two stopped. Dawkins looked at Li Weisi in front of him, with mixed feelings in his heart.
At the draft conference, I witnessed Li Weisi being selected by the Warriors as a No. [-] pick. I was still jealous in my heart. I thought, it would be great if Li Weisi was dropped next!
However, when the new season started, Li Weisi had already become a star of a playoff team when he was still helping the team's old men and fighting for playing time.
Is the gap between people really that big?
Thinking about myself, when I was a child with the title of the proud son of heaven, and joined an NCAA powerhouse like Duke University, Li Weisi was still unknown at that time!
However, such an inconspicuous and discriminated young man has grown to the point where he is unmatched today, which really makes him unimaginable.
Originally, he also thought about how he would behave when he faced Li Weisi again, to wash away his shame as a human background board.
But when he really saw Li Weisi, all his original feelings were unimportant, and his jealousy seemed to disappear. After all, after entering the alliance, the reality hit him, and he already felt the unattainable gap between the two. , although they were rookies in the same year, they are no longer from the same world.
Dawkins also knows that he may not be able to accomplish what Li Weisi achieved in a month in his life.
So, when Dawkins really realized the gap between himself and Li Weisi, and let go of everything in the past, he felt extremely peaceful in his heart, and he only had blessings for Li Weisi.
"Congratulations! West, you played great in the NBA!"
"Thank you! However, I'm sorry, I haven't watched the Spurs game much, so I can't comment on your performance!"
"Uh..." Dawkins was sweating coldly when he heard it. Fortunately, he let go of his jealousy, otherwise he would have beaten the guy in front of him by now, it was too heartbreaking.
"Oh, by the way, I saw your teammate Mark in the game against the Nuggets before, and he has entered the team's starting lineup."
"Puff!" Dawkins felt stabbed again.
"Hehehe, yes, my teammates performed well, and I'm happy for them!" Dawkins said with a half-smile.
"Well, then you have to work hard! The Spurs' record is not good. I watched the video of your team yesterday and felt that your team's problems are very serious. The team's offense and defense cannot form a system, and there is a sense of fragmentation. Seriously, it's nothing like the Duke you're at."
What Li Weisi said made it even more difficult for Dawkins to answer. His family knew about his family affairs, and he, Li Weisi, could see things that outsiders could see. Could Dawkins not know?
Since the team's signature "Iceman" George Gervin was traded to the Chicago Bulls last season, the team has officially entered a rebuilding period.
Last year's 35 wins and 47 losses were the worst record since the team moved to San Antonio, but this year, it seems that the record will be worse than last year.
The total of the games he lost in four years at Duke can't keep up with the loss in one month with the Spurs. In addition, he is not taken seriously by the team, which makes him feel that his future is gloomy.
