1286: particularly innocent about the teacher
Although Joel Embiid has only played in the league for less than four years, he is already an experienced old troll.
This guy has always been unscrupulous on social media. At the beginning of this season, his online squirting with Towns even became a hot topic on Twitter.
Of course, Towns is not the only star who has criticized each other with Embiid. Like Link, Embiid is a man who is both young and old. Whether you are a rookie or a veteran in the league, he will always criticize him.
In fact, Embiid has not been very honest since the first day he officially landed in the NBA. In October 2016, the 76ers played against the Thunder, Embiid finally ushered in his NBA debut.
Before the game started, he threatened to capture Westbrook, who was already very famous at the time, during the game.
As a result, he really did what he said and gave the "Sewer Turtle" a big hat in the game. After that, every time the two sides met, Embiid could always collide with the turtle and spark.
Until now, when Embiid met Westbrook, both sides would swear trash. On the first day of entering the league, Embiid off a league superstar.
After that, Embiid continued to make trouble. So, Hassan Whiteside, the former Grizzly player, was hit.
After a 76ers beat the Heat, Embiid tweeted and mocked Whiteside for not shooting, and was very arrogant.
After that, the "Emperor" also formed a scoundrel with Whiteside. As long as there was a game with Whiteside, Embiid would tweet and criticize Whiteside on time.
Of course, Whiteside, who is not good at trash talk, also fought back in his own way.
Last October, after a game between the 76ers, a fan mocked Embiid on Twitter for his performance of 1 of 7 shots in the game, and was silently liked by Whiteside's real name...
I have to say that any player who has been with the Grizzlies has a slutty operation. Even if you don’t speak, you can make others angry.
After that, Embiid became out of control. He seemed to like this feeling of being an internet celebrity.
As a result, more and more players have formed a feud with Embiid.
"The God of Zhuang" Drummond, "Big Mouth" Green, Kevin Durant, 18-year No. 1 pick Ayton, Ball Dad, Towns...Even Embiid crossed the border and criticized Comrade Chuan Jianguo, the current American commander "Understanding the Emperor".
Every time he sneered with others, he could set off a craze on social media. Perhaps, this is why Embiid likes to swear so much.
The "Emperor" never shows mercy. When it comes to typing on the keyboard, he is much more powerful than Durant who plays a small trumpet.
So, people say that Embiid's template is actually Durant...
As an Internet troll with a lot of bad records, it is not surprising that Embiid speaks rudely to Jokic this time.
Embiid and Jokic are the two strongest centers in the East and West games, and have been compared this season.
It is estimated that Embiid had been hostile to Teacher Yo for a long time.
This time, taking advantage of the east wind of the Christmas war, he will definitely squirt and then set off a storm on the Internet.
Embiid's tweet and mocking Jokic quickly became a hot search. He is worthy of being a big internet celebrity in Philadelphia. He successfully aroused the interest of fans. Everyone really wanted to see how Jokic would respond in the future.
Sure enough, at 10 o'clock that night, Jokic posted a social media update.
But when everyone was excited to go in, they found that Jokic just posted a photo of himself and his girlfriend and wrote: "In the long season, you have to cherish every time you spend together."
Jokic was completely immersed in the happy time with his girlfriend, and didn't care what Embiid said at all!
This may be the first time in history that the "Emperor" was tragically ignored.
Jokic's brain circuit is indeed different from that of ordinary people...
However, it is impossible for the reporters to let go of such hot spots. The next day, the entire Grizzlies flew to Oklahoma City, preparing to fight the Thunder here.
Before the game started, the reporters asked Jokic: "What do you think of Joel Embiid's evaluation of you? Do you think he is a little rude?"
The reporter obviously came for trouble. He wanted to stimulate Jokic, and it would be best to let the two of them spray each other directly in front of the camera.
As a result, Jokic just shrugged: "What did he say? I didn't follow his social media account, so I didn't know. And I didn't care what he said, I wasn't familiar with him."
"Uh..." The reporter who was about to make trouble was speechless. Jokic's answer was really disorganized!
"If there is no other problem, I'm going to go back and warm up." After saying that, Jokic smiled at the camera, and then returned to the court to continue warming up.
Embiid was so angry that he was one of the biggest internet celebrities in the league. There were still people who did not follow his social media account.
Unforgivable!
"That kid must have wanted to anger me with this kind of ignorance, absolutely!" Embiid nodded confidently in front of the computer, preparing to type in the keyboard.
However, Jokic is very innocent because he really doesn't want to provoke Embiid on purpose... Jokic is not interested in men. Except for the Grizzlies' teammates, he has basically never followed other players' social media accounts.
In this game, Jokic's performance was not affected by the outside world.
Facing Steven Adams, a relative of "Aquaman", Jokic played his strengths to the fullest.
Adams is a good inside defense gate, but he has a headache when he encounters a space-type center like Jokic who has shots.
Today, Jokic also played his strengths.
When Adams shrank the basket, Jokic used his range to perform long-range strikes.
When Adams had to walk out of the paint area, Jokic directly crushed the defense of "Aquaman" with his superb skills and greater tonnage.
So much so that Thunder coach Billy Donovan had to press Adams directly on the bench in the fourth quarter because Adams was completely beaten!
He met Jokic, just like Aquaman.
No matter how awesome you are in the sea, you will only be beaten when you meet Superman.
Although Adams scored 13 points when he left the game, the plus and negative value was only -23...
Jokic scored a goal almost every single time when facing Adams. The local commentator of Oklahoma had to wail, "Ask teacher, let Adams go."
In the fourth quarter, the Thunder used Norance Noel, who was more flexible, to defend Jokic and adopted a double-team tactic.
But as a result, the rest of the Grizzlies gained more opportunities to make it easy.
In the end, Jokic scored a season-high 36 points at Oklahoma City and scored 10 assists and 8 rebounds.
Since Jokic occupied most of the shooting rights today, Link only scored 25 points. However, occasionally hugging his teammates' thighs is also excellent.
Chris Paul scored 18 points and 8 assists today, but unfortunately, he still couldn't stop Jokic from turning around in the inside.
126 to 109, the Grizzlies beat the Thunder at the Chesapeake Energy Arena and won 11 consecutive victories!
Charles Barkley is right. Although the Thunder has brought many surprises to people this season, they are now steadily occupying the top eight seats in the West.
But they are never the first tier of the West, and there is still a big gap compared to the Grizzlies.
After the game, Jokic also became the biggest star today.
Because from the outside world's perspective, Jokic's performance of 36+10 today was a response to Joel Embiid's rude speech before the game!
Embiid smiled, the little fat man was quite good. So he turned on the spray mode again: "Want to give me a warning? Hahaha, I won't be scared by a piece of pork belly. You don't need to bully others to act arrogantly, anyway, we will meet soon. At that time, you will know who is stronger and who is weak."
At the press conference, a reporter asked Jokic about Embiid's latest speech.
Jokic was confused again, what happened to Guan Embiid when I played against the Thunder?
Why is this guy going to join in the fun of everything?
The reason why Jokic played well today has nothing to do with Embiid, it is just because... Adams is so easy to play!
Just as Jokic was confused, Link next to him approached the microphone and "quickly answered" the question: "Don't be too self-righteous, Joel. Do you still want to have a good Christmas this year?"
Chapter completed!
