The
'trash talking
' is one of the oldest strategies in any sport.
It consists of speaking badly to the rival to disconcert him and so that he loses axis what he has to do during the match.
They assure that Michael Jordan was, also in that, the best of his kind.
And it seems that
LaMelo Ball
, the rookie star of Charlotte Hornets, is after in the footsteps of
His Majesty of the Air
at least in that area of "talking trash", but the attempt to take Facundo Campazzo out of focus ended up going very badly: The Argentine without saying a word dedicated himself to playing and ended up making a fool of him.
"You're weak and that's why you don't play anymore,
" LaMello Ball threw at Campazzo when he averaged the second quarter of the game.
A hurtful phrase that could have brought out the worst in the Argentine.
But, in return, he got the best of it.
The man from Cordoba was silent, but he did not forget.
And, as soon as he could, he returned the kindness with a touch of magic that made everyone in the NBA speak and showed Ball, just 19 years old - ten years younger than Campazzo - that he has a long way to go.
Lick it to Campazzo: "You're very weak N *** and that's why you don't play"

The point guard recovered the ball and faced the basket without hesitation.
Ball, in desperation to defend him, did not see the back pass that Campazzo released to avoid the stopper of his rival and leave only Michael Porter Jr. to finish the play with a great dunk.
That was the top move of a great night for the former Real Madrid, who came off the bench to add six points, two rebounds, 10 assists and four steals in 25 minutes of play.
The last two items were his personal best and
record for an Argentine in the NBA.
All yours!

In the end, the Denver Nuggets beat the Charlotte Hornets 129-104 and remains in position to qualify for the playoffs.
He remains fifth in the Western Conference and second in the Northwest division.
The Colorado team, in addition to all the good that Campazzo did, had an illuminated Nikola Jokic, as always, who made a triple-double.
12 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists.
