Chapter 70 [What common sense? Braves are not afraid! 】
In the afternoon, Yang Jian took Snow to the gym to practice ball again, not just to show off to the coaching staff, but because she had nothing to do.
If he doesn't go to practice, why should he stay at home and watch bad movies with Snow? They often rent video tapes and watch movies, and Snow chooses almost all bad movies.
Yang Jian does know some good movies but is too lazy to rent them. She is too old and has watched them countless times in her previous life. For example, "007: GoldenEye" was just released this year, "True Lies" by the governor, etc. Wonderful blockbusters that others will be amazed to see.
, he would only feel that the action scene was extremely crotch-stretching after watching it.
The action scenes in future movies are much better than those in modern times, and people simply cannot imagine that they can be shot like that. Yang Jian feels that if he makes a film with a fist-fighting style, he will immediately become a Hollywood action star.
But he could only think about it, but it definitely wouldn't be filmed. He had watched the finished film, and he didn't know what the actors did during filming.
That night, sports news reported that "Magic" Earvin Johnson announced his comeback with the Lakers.
Johnson said: "This fight will never stop. You know, as we speak these words, there are countless more people infected with this virus. I will continue to take on the challenge of HIV, although it is more difficult than ever before.
It's tougher to face the Celtics on the basketball court."
"My condition is under control and I have been doing a lot of high-intensity recovery training recently. My physical condition must be able to play well in NBA games, so I want to return to the game."
Some reporters immediately expressed doubts about this. Johnson's figure has long been put on weight and out of shape, and he is dozens of pounds heavier than three years ago.
Can he still play basketball with this size? Johnson said it's no problem because he wants to play power forward instead of point guard.
This incident immediately caused huge controversy and shocked the basketball world. Not many people discussed Yang Jian anymore. Johnson made big news and downplayed the impact of his dunk over Van Exel.
Some media said that Johnson was cured of AIDS and had no problems with his comeback. Another media broke the news that after he insisted on taking medication for several years, the HIV virus in his blood had reduced to the point where it could no longer be detected in the blood, but it was still impossible to eradicate the virus.
In order for Magic to come back smoothly, the league had to formulate new rules. When players have exposed or bleeding wounds, they are not allowed to stay on the field and must leave the field immediately for treatment.
The league strongly supports Johnson's comeback, but most players do not believe that AIDS can be cured and are very disgusted. After all, all people with this disease have died. It is just a matter of early death and late death. No one wants to take the risk of burping in the game.
.
Jazz star Karl Malone stole the show. He accepted interviews with the media that night and took the lead in opposing Johnson's comeback.
"I don't want to compete with people who have that disease, because I'm afraid of being infected." Ma Long said bluntly.
On November 6, Johnson issued a medical certificate that he would not be infected during the same game, and Karl Malone also shut his mouth. But the matter was not over yet, because many people felt uncomfortable when facing Johnson.
The Sonics players had a day off on the 5th. There was a team training today and everyone arrived at the arena.
Everyone talked about Johnson's comeback in the locker room.
Payton asked: "Sean, Magic has switched to power forward, and he said he will come back against us at home on the 10th. Are you afraid?"
"Why should I be afraid? I will guard against him." Kemp looked relaxed and smiled.
Everyone was in awe, he was such a tough guy. They were all worried about Kemp and felt that this matter was quite dangerous. Unexpectedly, the person involved didn't care.
Kemp said with a smile: "AIDS is not so easily transmitted. This is common sense."
Payton was stunned. "What kind of common sense is this? I've never heard of it."
"It's just common sense. You won't be infected if you have physical contact with someone with AIDS. I have a friend who has AIDS. Although she is in very poor health, she has not infected anyone else." Kemp explained while arranging his clothes.
Yang Jian observed quietly and found that everyone was quietly moving away from Camp.
"You said 'she'...could it be your girlfriend?" Schrempf asked.
"Well, I slept with her before. So I went to the hospital for a checkup after I heard she was sick in the summer. The doctor said I was fine." Kemp's tone was slightly content.
Everyone moved a little further away from Kemp, and a vacuum formed next to his wardrobe. The only one who did not retreat was Yang Jian, who was still standing next to Kemp.
"Did you know? The probability of a male AIDS patient transmitting the virus to a woman is much higher than that of an infected woman transmitting the virus to a man. Doctors say that male patients may transmit the virus to women through one-time sexual intercourse. The probability of infection for women is much lower
, I slept with her three times and it was fine...Why are you standing so far away?" Kemp finally discovered the abnormality.
"What do you think?" Peyton shouted.
Kemp snorted: "We've known each other for so long, you might as well be new people. Yang won't be afraid at first sight, right?"
Yang Jian nodded and said with a smile: "I believe you, it's not that easy to contract AIDS. Next time we play against the Lakers, let's guard Johnson together. He will definitely have to play pick-and-roll."
Looking at Johnson's current figure, Yang Jian knows that his screen quality will not be too bad and his explosive power will not be very good. With his excellent passing awareness, he can also play a role in the power forward position.
"It's settled, good buddy." Kemp raised his hand and bumped his fist with Yang Jian.
Kemp is simple-minded and has not yet thought that if Yang Jian performs well this season and signs a big contract next summer, he will not be able to stay in the SuperSonics.
If it were someone like Draymond Green of the Warriors in the parallel world, he would try every means to suppress Yang Jian and cause trouble for him. Only by forcing away those who pose a threat can he naturally get a big contract.
Yang Jian is really not afraid of guarding Johnson. His confidence comes from the talent he was rewarded yesterday. He trusts the game system, and the rewards given will definitely be effective. His physical fitness is just added by adding points. This thing is unscientific but very powerful.
He was even less afraid of coming into contact with Camp. Camp was known to eat, drink, whore, gamble and smoke drugs, but he was never exposed to be infected with AIDS. Later, Camp went bankrupt and had no money, but he was still alive and well.
When the Lakers defend Johnson in the next game, they have to rely on Yang Jian and Kemp. The others are not joking, they are really afraid of being infected by the virus. When they face Johnson on the court, they can only interfere with Johnson's shooting and will not seek physical confrontation.
There are always two sides to everything. Others think it is dangerous, but Yang Jian thinks this is an opportunity.
The game against the Lakers on the 10th will definitely attract a lot of media attention. A group of reporters went to Los Angeles to interview Johnson's first game back. No matter what data he played, there was news to write about.
If Yang Jiando plays against Johnson, reporters will definitely interview him after the game. He can express some thoughts and increase his exposure.
He will use actions to prove that he is not afraid of AIDS patients, and then after the game, he will popularize the disease and express that he does not discriminate against AIDS patients. He appeals to everyone not to be afraid. It doesn't matter whether people listen or not. They will remember him as a brave man without fear.
The only problem with him doing this is that he will offend Ma Long, and it will seem like he is going against Ma Long. He doesn't care, it's not the first time he offends Ma Long anyway.
Not only did he let Malone serve as the backdrop for the top five goals in the first game, he even boldly insinuated that Malone played dirty after the game. This incident has been reported by many media and has been discussed a lot by fans these days.
Johnson has five career championships, three regular season MVPs, and three Finals MVPs. Malone has zero championships and zero MVPs in his career, and ranks first in the league in elbows... Does he still need to consider who to support?
He feels there is nothing wrong with opposing Malone. This guy is almost recognized as a villain in the NBA, and those who oppose him are of course the righteous party.
It's only a matter of time before Yang Jian's popularity surpasses Malone's with his wonderful dunks. He doesn't have to worry about arousing the resentment of a large number of fans. If he publicly supports the Magic and plays a wonderful game that shows sympathy for each other, he may still gain the favor of the Magic fans.
That number must be staggering.
He just doesn't know how the fans will react when he appears at Staples Arena this time. Hopefully it won't be as booing as when the Jazz were at home.
He feels that it shouldn't be the case. There are many stars watching the game in the front row in Los Angeles. Lakers fans in this era don't boo their opponents very much. In the future, it will be outrageous. In the 2021-22 season, Lakers fans will boo the home team many times...
