Basketball injuries only make me stronger

Chapter 57

Hearing the host's words, both Johnson and Barkley laughed.

"At the rookie level, I am optimistic about Bogut of the Bucks, he is the No. [-] pick!"

"As for the 76ers' rookie, he is only a second-round pick. Although he played well in the preseason, after all, the main players of both sides are not on the court, so the data can't explain anything."

The sports channels in the United States and the sports channels in Huaguo are different in nature, resulting in a huge gap in program style.

Simply put, the biggest difference is profitability.It is also a sports channel. CCTV Sports Channel is non-profit, with only about 20 billion yuan in annual revenue (15 billion yuan in odd-number years, and more than 20 billion yuan in even-number years), but ESPN has become a money-making machine—estimated The value has exceeded 500 billion US dollars.

An important reason for such a big difference is that ESPN can unscrupulously create topics and controversies to attract the attention of the audience.

Therefore, when Barkley and Johnson had their own positions, the first thing the host did was to expand this position, and even guide them to say more powerful words.

For example, Barkley kissing the ass of a donkey is an excellent marketing method. While achieving Yao Ming, it can be said that it has attracted the attention of the audience.It is said that after Barkley made those remarks, the ratings of the Rockets' games rose by 5 percentage points.

But obviously, the 76ers and Bucks in the opening game did not have enough to create a hot topic.

As a result, Johnson and Barkley began to express various views on the outcome of the games of several other teams.

Barkley firmly believes that the 76ers can win this game, and his reason is simple and crude: "The 76ers have Iverson and Chris Webber!"

"What kind of reason is that? Do you want to say that superstars can decide the direction of a game?"

"No, no, what I want to say is that the league canceled the hand check. I can't imagine what kind of performance Iverson will have this season. The poor defense of the Bucks can't limit him at all."

Just when the two sides were arguing, the host received a message from the reporter on the scene, suddenly his expression brightened, and he interrupted the two people who were arguing: "An interesting thing happened. We just received news that the Bucks The No. [-] scholar just published an interesting conversation, let's take a look."

The screen cuts to the Bucks, and the players are being interviewed.

As the rookie No. [-] pick, the outside world generally pays attention to Bogut's first show.He is the second overseas champion after Yao Ming, and many people even compare him with Yao Ming.

The reporter asked: "This is your NBA debut. We expect you to play the No. [-] pick in this game. Do you have any expectations for this game?"

Bogut thought for a while and said: "Very well, I will prove to the world that the team's choice is not wrong! Also, please don't compare me with Yao Ming... I mean just from the point of the first show. I I believe that I will not get such data as 0 points and 2 rebounds, hahaha."

"Do you believe you'll be a good rookie?"

"Of course! There is no doubt about it. In fact, I have been working hard in this direction. Again, don't compare me with Yao Ming, I will be better than him!"

Touching porcelain Yao Ming won more attention for himself, and Bogut was complacent about his wit.

Barkley and Johnson both laughed when the interview was broadcast back to the studio.

Barkley shook his head: "This young No. [-] pick has not yet realized Yao Ming's strength. In fact, I don't think he has the ability to compare with Yao Ming."

Johnson also agreed with the comparison: "Yes, at least from the current point of view, Bogut still has a long way to go."

……

However, Bogut's words caused an uproar in the media.Naturally, there is also an element of hype, which draws attention to Bogut's game.

Many media have criticized Bogut for being too arrogant. You must know that Yao Ming's current status has been achieved bit by bit!He was labeled as disrespectful to his predecessors and defiant.

Compared with Bogut, he seemed indifferent, and even said publicly: "Wait, my debut will of course be much better than Yao Ming!"

Many celebrities also expressed their views on this.

At this moment, Lian Feng was approached by a reporter hired by CAA.

As CAA's first signing player, it is natural to give him more exposure.The media interview is naturally a useful way.Now Lian Feng only performed well in the preseason, and the attention is still very low.

If Lian Feng performs well in the later games, then CAA's channel advantage will be more obvious.

Originally, CAA just wanted Lian Feng to show his face, and did not expect Lian Feng to become the focus of attention in an interview, but unexpectedly, Lian Feng's words made him a more eye-catching figure than Iverson.

The reporter really asked a few routine questions, and suddenly mentioned Bogut's recent remarks and asked Lian Feng what he thought of it.

I have to say, this question really touched Lian Feng's itch.

If you ask which player Lian Feng hates the most in the previous life, Bogut will undoubtedly rank among the top three.

Thinking back on what this guy with bad character has done, Lian Feng was really furious.

In the 2008 Diamond Cup match between China and Australia, Yao Ming held the Bogut hammer.

Bogut, who is inferior in skills, became angry from embarrassment. He slapped Yao Ming directly on the head twice, and even slapped Yao Ming to the ground once.It was this movement that allowed anyone with a discerning eye to see that Bogu's stunts were not as good as the talents who made such disgusting tricks.

In addition, Australia played against its strong rival Spain, and when it lost to Spain, it insulted the referee for accepting bribes and counting money to the referee.

After losing to Spain, Bogut shouted insults at the referee and opponents in the player tunnel.After the game, they also slandered China's poor living environment and poor quality of residents on social media. Anyway, they bite people everywhere like mad dogs.

In the NBA, it goes without saying that this Australian player keeps doing all kinds of dirty tricks.

In this time and space, this Bogut met Yao Ming again, talking about Yao Ming's 0 points and 2 rebounds in his first show, which made Lian Feng angry, so he thought about it and said.

"Bogut? I don't know where he got the confidence to compare with Yao Ming. I think his behavior is as ridiculous as a clown. I watched his games before entering the NBA. IMHO, except for those I can't think of a reason why a team would take him with a first-round pick, but with the No. [-] pick, other than the nasty little move. In my opinion, the Bucks are crazy."

The reporter was obviously taken aback.When he was interviewing Lian Feng just now, he felt that this Chinese player was as polite as Yao Ming, but he didn't expect him to suddenly change his style and say such a sharp sentence.

But at the same time, his professionalism made the reporter realize that this was an explosive conversation!He regained his energy and hurriedly asked.

"Um... you mean, you don't think he deserves the No. [-] pick in the first round?"

Lian Feng spread his hands: "Believe me, my second-round pick is better than him!"

……

The next day, Lian Feng's remarks unsurprisingly dominated the headlines of a certain newspaper.

"Second-round pick player angered No. [-] pick Bogut: I can play with my feet better than you!" "

Lian Feng flipped through the newspaper and shrugged helplessly. Of course he didn't say that he is better than you at playing ball with his feet. It was hyped up by the media, but he didn't intend to explain it.

All of a sudden, the media exploded.

On the other side, before Bogut had time to respond to Lian Feng's remarks, he hurriedly boarded the plane to Philadelphia.

Surprisingly, this game has become the focus of attention because of the remarks of the two rookies.
