Chapter 598 Vanity Fair - "Basketball Fighter" (Daily Chapter)

On Thursday, November 2008, 11, as the quadrennial political reality show officially came to an end, the carnival for the black people continued!

"AMERICA BASKS IN BAM'S GLORY."

The vast majority of American media outlets have written articles around the "Glory of Obama", and this type of headline has appeared frequently since yesterday.

Early in the morning, New York newspapers reported the grand gathering that took place in Chicago early yesterday morning. The content of the newspapers made people burst into tears, as if God had come:
"CHICAGO—At the intersection of Michigan Avenue and history, thousands of people walked out of their homes, walked for miles or drove for hours, determined to breathe the air of a new era!"

"This is the time of Oh! After a long time of darkness, dawn finally comes!"

The cost of this "grand reality show" set a record high in history, and the ratings also set a record high. According to the report given by Fox News, Obama completely defeated his opponents and crushed them throughout the whole process!
Yesterday in Grant Park, about 125000 people gathered for a grand and solemn celebration in Oakland, which left many people in awe.

Everyone who was selected to participate in the victory campaign was extremely excited. In front of the cameras, supporters cheered and tears flowed freely.

Many politicians, celebrities, and pastors expressed their expectations for "Hope". Spike Lee and Artest were also fortunate enough to be invited and had a great time.

A basketball game? That's nothing compared to freedom and hope!
Go to school? The children are cheering for hope, and the school should be closed.

Work? The economy is so bad, and the savior has appeared. The bosses have to allow employees to attend the rally. This is a historical moment, and no one can stop people from witnessing history!
The morning news was all about children, citizens, and celebrities cheering excitedly at rallies and sharing their experiences of participating in the celebrations. On TV, most channels were praising the victory of the Donkey Party.

In Manhattan, Harlem was "buzzing" from the 4th onwards, and on 125th Street, black citizens celebrated the first black president in history.

During the live broadcast, a 55-year-old black woman burst into tears again. Witnessing history made her very emotional:
“When I was a kid and I was traveling around the South, I couldn’t go to restaurants, the restroom, or sit in certain areas of movie theaters, and I thought that was my whole life.”

"Things have gotten better over the years, but we all know that black people still don't get respect. Now everything has changed and we have a black president."

"For the first time, I felt deeply involved in the political process. I was so excited. This is God's will!"

"."

On TV, a 34-year-old black fat man was also moved to tears. He had been participating in mobilization activities these days. Now that everything has been settled, he feels that all his efforts were worth it:

"Obama inspired us to vote! This is the first time in my life that I watch CNN or Fox News and I feel like we made a difference!"

"."

Li You is still at his home in Manhattan, watching the news with great interest early in the morning. He also has the feeling of witnessing history and has witnessed the changes in New York over the years.

Melinda, who was half asleep, had her blonde hair disheveled. Seeing that Li You was still energetic, she squeezed onto the sofa and started to complain:
"I thought the basketball game would help drain some of your energy. It seems that the lack of people has no effect on you. These people should pay attention to the parliament a few days ago!"

"Many regional representatives don't care about real rights and interests. Instead of relying on the White House and Congress, they should protest to Parliament a few times."

A few days ago, Melinda, as one of the representatives of the Upper East Side residents, attended a hearing held at City Hall. A group of people held a four-hour criticism meeting on the bill to extend the mayor's term.

As a well-known lawyer, Melinda, like other senior lawyers in the legal profession, holds a critical attitude. 81-year-old retired lawyer Ben Harber almost embarrassed the mayor:

"Seeking a third term has nothing to do with the economic crisis, it has to do with your inflated ego."

Li You knew that Milinda had also spoken out during the meeting. Now that he saw the Harlem crowd being indifferent to the rights and interests around them, he probably felt uncomfortable:

"This is not our job. At least everyone is happy now, and that's enough!"

Li You hugged the girl with big breasts leaning against him, turned his head and saw Jin wearing pajamas and watching TV, waved, and said with a smile:

"Who did the House Oversight Committee finally decide to 'invite' to the hearing on the 13th?"

After leaving the Southern District Federal Special Prosecutor's Office, Kim was still very busy, but after returning from New Mexico, he was in a much better state and was no longer shy after being hugged:
"George Soros, Jim Simons, Philip Falcone, and the rest is Kenneth Griffin and us."

"The content is probably asking for information about how it works, and it is very likely that your income will be further disclosed."

Although he had anticipated the general direction of the hearing, Li You couldn't help but frown when he heard the issue of income. He had previously been somewhat dissatisfied with Forbes magazine's "showing off".

Alpha, a well-known magazine in the industry, has done a good job of hiding the personal gains of Ax Capital and Li You. When most people lose their wealth, the beneficiaries will gain "hatred."

This is a form of emotional catharsis. No one will think about the risks involved. Everyone only knows that you make money, and this money must come from their pockets!

"It looks like it's going to cost a lot of money. Which MPs are prepared to attack us?"

Li You ignored Milinda who was dribbling the ball and looked down at Jin who was nestled in his arms. Jin slightly raised his body and shook his head. He tied up his golden hair and sighed:

"It is highly likely that everyone will side with the regulatory committee."

"Is there no one from the Elephant Party to help? I knew they were unreliable. No wonder they lost so badly."

Even though she understood that buying high-quality CDS would bring considerable returns, Melinda was still annoyed by this method of forced buying, which could not be resolved at all on a legal level.

"It doesn't matter. I believe there will be people who will support me in the future!"

After roughly calculating the possible expenses after the hearing, Li You was in a good mood. At least the investors still trusted them.

On TV, coverage of the election victory continued, and experts began to analyze the changes brought about by the new owner of the White House, but none of the three were interested.

After letting the two girls speak frankly, Li You stood up with them in his arms, feeling their fullness and slimness, and walked slowly towards the bathroom, talking about the changes in the little ones:
“Wilfred and Willis can express their feelings clearly now, and I plan to teach Alvin to speak Chinese and Spanish.”

“Maybe in two years, we should find them a teacher.”

Jin, who didn't have much time to take care of the little one, smiled knowingly and gave him a kiss. The wealth turned into numbers, and now they had to consider how to continue the wealth.

On Friday, November 11, Artest, who was still participating in the celebrations in Chicago, appeared on the show again, saying that the World Peace Club played an "important" role in this election.

At 4 p.m., ABC's local TV station broadcast the Oprah Winfrey Show on time. Artest came to the studio in the west side of Chicago in a gray suit, with a smile on his face and waving repeatedly.

Amid the cheers of the atmosphere group, Artest plopped down on the sofa, with posters behind him showing him participating in activities in Harlem and Queens.

Oprah, with curly hair and a pink dress, also applauded and cheered along with the atmosphere group, then said loudly to the camera:

"Let us welcome the champion striker, the president of the World Peace Club, Mr. World Peace!"

"Oh"

A somewhat excited Artest stood up and bowed again to salute. It was not easy to be on this show. This campaign did gain him more respect.

Oprah, leaning back on the sofa, was in a good mood. Over the years, Li You had only participated in the show once, and that was through a one-on-one interview with Michael Jordan, but the other party didn't give her any chance at all.

Oprah was naturally a little unhappy about this, but fortunately now the opportunity came again. Seeing Artest grinning, she also laughed happily:

"Sorry, I'm still not used to it! But I want to say, World Peace is a great name! Our black president will soon bring peace to the world." Amid cheers, Oprah asked with a smile:

"Mehta, I heard that you asked the team for a week's vacation for this event. Was it supported? We are all curious about what Li thinks of your transformation."

After playing only two games, Artest joined the campaign. This choice was supported by black fans, and he naturally had no pressure:
"The management approved my leave very quickly. It was clear to everyone that I was fighting for 'hope'!"

"Lee understands my choice and he respects everyone's personal wishes."

"I'm glad that my efforts have gotten more people to vote. In Grant Park, Spike Lee and I both cried. This is a great victory! I believe everyone will be proud of me!"

Amid the cheers of the atmosphere group, Oprah applauded again, and then started "Recalling the Bitterness and Thinking of the Sweetness", digging out Artest's experiences from childhood to adulthood in the program.

The touching family stories, coupled with Artest's mental illness and heart disease, made the atmosphere group on the scene cry several times.

Recalling his own success, Artest's eyes turned red. Oprah was very satisfied with this. Taking advantage of the guest's relaxation, she quietly changed the topic:

"In recent years, I have seen a lot of black players being overly criticized and more and more people being laughed at!"

"Philadelphia fans attack Andre Iguodala and his family on social media after 76ers' loss to Knicks."

"There are still many such phenomena, especially Kobe. We have all seen what he has experienced. Do you think that black players in the NBA have lost respect now?"

Iguodala suffered from cyber violence, and this incident was mainly the fault of the home commentator. "Someone from the 76ers needs to stand up" is an old joke.

The ridiculed Philadelphia fans vented their dissatisfaction on the core players after the game, which caused quite a bit of discussion in the past few days.

"It's difficult for me to comment on this matter because it is the fans' freedom. They bought tickets and can criticize us!"

"As for respect, I think it still depends on basketball. If Kobe stops talking big and comes to New York to play quietly, I believe no one will attack him."

"He can't win a championship with Shaq and think he's a big star. He's just an overrated All-Star, and that's the view of the vast majority of players in the league."

When it comes to Kobe, Artest answered the question without thinking. Oprah was slightly stunned, and then guided again:
"As an old rival, how does Lee evaluate Kobe? Does his attitude affect the fans?"

"Kobe? No, Lee never talks about him. He doesn't even consider Kobe as an opponent."

When talking about something he was familiar with, Artest, who didn't have to memorize a script, spoke more fluently, even with a hint of joy:

"Lee has received too many honors. Even if we don't compare the championships, the difference between the two should be clear if we compare the number of MVPs."

"Kobe was never the best player on the Lakers. Lee never cared about him except when the coach assigned him defensive tasks."

Amidst the laughter, Oprah frowned slightly. She really didn't expect that Li You didn't care about his "mortal enemy" at all, and didn't have any "black material" on him. He actually treated the other party as air.

Soon the show turned into a moment of Artest bragging. No matter how Oprah guided it, she never got the "information" that Li You was disparaging other players.

This episode had a high viewership. After all, O'Neal loves basketball, and the audience felt comfortable listening to the story of Artest playing basketball with the president.

Only Oprah secretly sighed, as she failed to find the "boomerang". She wanted to take the opportunity to attack Li You, who was in the same nest as the Elephant Gang, but she couldn't find the chance.

On Sunday, November 11, Artest became famous after appearing on many shows:

"Mr. World Peace is the fighter of basketball!"

Not only did the Chicago media follow up on the report, but the Washington Post also joined in the fun. Years of championship experience have made Artest a household name. In terms of face recognition, many young stars can't compare to him.

The NBA Finals for many years has been a form of advertisement, and also a campaign campaign. LeBron James still has to rely on his good brother Jay-Z for support. Without the finals, the influence of the Chosen One would be limited.

On the same day, the NBA league once again announced the best player of the week. Li You led the team to 3 wins and 0 losses this week. With a shooting percentage of 61.4% and an average contribution of 42.3 points per game, he once again won this small award.

The Western Conference winner was Amar'e Stoudemire, and the Suns also had a record of 3 wins and 0 losses. Although the Lakers remained undefeated, they only played one game this week.

The Staples Center was still packed that night. When the game started, fans noticed that Kobe's face was dark and he seemed to be playing with anger.

Trailing by 28 points at 16:12 in the first quarter, Kobe successfully led the team to reverse the game with the help of his good brother McGrady!

The Lakers scored 4 points in the fourth quarter, completely igniting the atmosphere in the stadium. Kobe, who completed the reversal, celebrated with Duncan by high-fiving after the game, and also punched the fans.

这场全美直播的比赛,出场32分钟的麦克格雷迪11中1,三分线外3中1,全场仅有一次运动战进球,贡献了3分2篮板4助攻1失误的数据.
After the game, die-hard fans will feel sorry for Ge Ge and recall the many awards such as "35 seconds 13 minutes", "Second place", "Most beautiful calves", "White horse and silver spear", etc., while the haters will have a carnival moment!
ABC's reporter interviewed Kobe after the game, who scored a game-high 23 points and made 17 of 10 shots. Mamba blew up the Rockets' outside line tonight. Duncan scored 20+15 and quietly gave out 7 assists.

“MVP!”

The occasional shouting made Kobe feel better, but the reporters around him didn't understand the situation and asked questions that really made people angry:

"Congratulations to the Lakers for remaining undefeated. Kobe, what do you think about Lee never treating you as an opponent? Do you think he lacks respect for you?"

"I don't pay attention to these things. I only play for the championship. Other people's comments are not important."

Kobe stared at the other person and said this in a bad tone. This was simply a slap in the face for him. Noticing that the other person wanted to ask more questions, he simply continued to add:
"God has witnessed my efforts. I have never relaxed my requirements on myself. I continue to hone my basketball skills every season!"

"I've won a championship, and I don't need any respect from anyone in this league."

"."

In the post-match press conference, Duncan did not make any grand speeches. He simply said that the team is getting better and completely ignored the reporters' nonsense.

When Kobe returned to the locker room, he still had a sullen face. Oprah's show hurt him a lot. There were no "enemies who sympathized with each other". Everything seemed to be his imagination.

Phil Jackson, with white hair and beard, clapped his hands in front of the players, interrupting the jokes of Fisher and Barnes. The old man seemed to see the troubles in the hearts of the core players and said slowly:

"When I was an assistant coach, I saw Pat Riley constantly promoting his book on TV shows, and I knew that Lakers team was going to be a thing of the past."

"Every championship team will eventually collapse from within, just as you know, the Bulls also encountered such difficulties in 98."

"Champions can make people lose their way. Maybe those reporters are still dreaming about New York's 8 consecutive championships, but I have already seen the ending!"

"They are about to fail. Their era is over!"

These words made the locker room completely quiet. What Phil Jackson said seemed to make sense. Rodman was lost back then, and now the same situation happened to Artest.

Considering that both of them are tough guys, this similar scene seemed to foreshadow something. Kobe looked up at his coach, who smiled and gave him an affirmative look:

“Our time is coming”
