On February 11, Beijing time, recently, Suns bench guard Payne inadvertently entered the topic of the Lakers in the voice group chat on Twitter, Payne frantically complained: "We are the first team in the league, but you only care about the Lakers, they are the worst team in the West." ”
Spitting on the Lakers in the live broadcast of Lakers fans, is Payne crazy? Of course not, according to the analysis of netizens, from the voice analysis, Payne is obviously drinking too much, thinking that this is a chat bragging group, do not know that this is the Voice Chat Group of Lakers fans. Interestingly, after knowing that this was a lakers fan chat group and would be recorded, Payne took a turn and immediately instigated, saying again: "I respect the Lakers, I respect every team in the league." ”
Payne's remarks, privately bragging about the Lakers, can actually be understood, but it is certainly not appropriate to pull it out alone on the surface. Interestingly, during the stage of Payne bragging, the Lakers fans in the group chat were not too angry, but were laughing madly, very friendly. When Lakers fans are friendly to Payne's remarks, it proves from the side that many Lakers fans also think that the Lakers are the worst team in the West.
Looking back, Payne's spit is actually correct, so far this season, the Suns are ranked first in the league with a record of 44 wins and 10 losses, and the Lakers are ninth in the West with a record of 26 wins and 30 losses, although not the first in the West, but the Lakers actually lost to the Blazers in the case of Zhan Mei, saying that they are the worst in the West.
As for popularity and attention, the Suns are really unpopular. Although Booker and Paul were selected as All-Stars, they were both substitutes and were chosen by the coach. Not being in the starting lineup has proved that the Suns are not receiving much attention. This year's Suns are very similar to last year's Jazz, and the All-Star game was also the league number one, but no players made the All-Star starters.
It is true that the Lakers have received the most attention, and it can be seen that Wei Shao and the Lakers have repeatedly rushed to the forefront of hot searches on Chinese and American social media, especially Wei Shao, who has never been able to rush to the top of the hot search list because of his poor performance as a comedian. Some of these attentions, some are real Lakers fans, are anxious for the Lakers; and some really watch the hilarity, treating the Lakers as a variety show "Comedians".
