lakers championship

Chapter 186
Everyone knows that AJ and Nike are two brands. As the number one leader of Nike, LeBron has no obligation to support Westbrook, the number one leader of the AJ brand. It really doesn't make sense for Tianyang, the number one boss under his banner, to stand in line.

California, Nike headquarters, inside the chairman's office.

Nike founder Phil Turner sat down in a chair angrily, and he was going to chat with LeBron.

Beep, beep, beep three times in a row, LeBron answered the phone.

Phil's tone was a little anxious: "The Twitter account under your name has updated a sentence, have you seen it?"

"See, why?" LeBron said flatly.

Phil's tone was full of suspicion: "Someone hacked your Twitter account? Or did you post the wrong date?"

"NO! That sentence was edited and sent by me personally." LeBron's tone was very firm.

Phil's tone was full of anger: "Then why do you support someone!"

"Appreciate!" LeBron's tone was extremely crisp.

"Crack!" Phil Turner hung up the phone, stomping on the ground in a rare way in front of all his subordinates.

If LeBron is a star who lacks a fan base under Nike's name, Phil Turner will immediately terminate the contract and let the star roll as far as he can, and it doesn't matter if he loses money.

But LeBron is LeBron, he can do whatever he wants, Phil is helpless, helpless, powerless.

Of course, Phil can also terminate the contract with LeBron, as long as he is willing to pay billions of dollars in compensation, and at the same time give up the hundreds of millions of dollars in income that LeBron brings every year.

Phil is not a badass, so he naturally knows what to do and what not to do.

He tried his best to calm down and prepared to rot this matter in his stomach, but he never expected it.

Kobe also tweeted!

"@LeBron, @天洋 took me through the finals matchup between me and you that didn't take place!"

The point is, LeBron also immediately replied to Kobe: "@科比No problem, @天洋 is as good as you!"

What does this mean?
LeBron didn't take Phil's 'warning' to heart at all. After hanging up the phone, he happily checked Twitter!
Phil Turner shoved the papers off his desk.

Everyone else in the office was stunned!
Especially Eden, who has been working under Phil for nearly 10 years, has never seen him lose his composure like this!
But this is not over yet, Phil Turner almost growled and shouted:

"Call me the people from the PR department! I want to let him feel the power of capital today!"

……

Under the reports of various media and the spontaneous dissemination of NBA fans all over the world, the discussion on who is more qualified to win the best player of the first month between Tianyang and Westbrook continues to be heated.

The keyword 'Tianyang VS Westbrook' appeared on Twitter about 2 million times in 100 days.

And that's not counting some of the places where you can't use Twitter, and there are millions of discussions.

Among the people discussed were ordinary fans, media experts, and current or retired NBA stars.

There is a company called HEI Technology, which claims to use PYTHON crawler technology to search statistics on major websites all over the world, and found that the number of people who support Tianyang is about [-] more than the number of people who support Westbrook.

And among the fans who support Westbrook, there are many fans who have published their support for the Warriors, Rockets, Jazz, Pelicans, Eagles, Kings and other teams. Maybe they support Westbrook just because they don't like Tianyang...

Such a statement immediately triggered strong rebuttals from the Westbrook fan camp!
They pointed out that the number of "one hundred thousand" is surprisingly large at first glance, but when you think about it carefully, in the whole world, one hundred thousand is only a drizzle.

Just like some people like Sora Aoi and others like Kaede Matsushima, the gap may be very large in a small area, but the gap is very small when it is extended to the whole of Asia, and even the whole world.Maybe Westbrook lags behind just because his fans are older on average and spend less time posting on social media.

In addition, some fans pointed out that HEI technology company has never heard of it, and it is completely out of the mainstream. Using Python to collect big data is not a reasonable technical solution at all.

Fans on both sides quarreled fiercely, and major TV stations took the opportunity to do special programs to increase ratings.

ESPN pointed out that the two are currently tied, and the focus is on the last game of this month.

The Lakers play the Bulls, and the Thunder play the Spurs.

Both teams are away games, both in 2 days and 2 games.

No one takes advantage, it all depends on the data and record.

ESPN's point of view was recognized by Westbrook fans, but was strongly opposed by SkyOcean fans.

The difference is that SkyOcean fans believe that SkyOcean has an overall advantage in terms of statistics and record.

For this reason, the quarrel between the two sides has reached a new height.

……

On November 11, the Lakers challenged the Bulls away at the United Arena.

Although the Lakers flew to Chicago non-stop just after beating the Pelicans, they were quite exhausted.

But for the Bulls, Wade and Rondo have a truce, and they have lost a lot of offense and defense.

But the Lakers did not expect that Jimmy Butler, the only remaining star of the Bulls, was as excited as if he had been injected with chicken blood.

Offensively, with the help of the team's pick-and-roll, Tianyang has been playing singles, and every time he is close.

The success rate was just the same, but Tianyang suffered from severe physical exertion, and suffered 2 fouls in halftime.

Defensively, Butler led the defense of Tianyang, only posting but not grabbing, avoiding fouls, and focusing on exhausting energy.

If he can't prevent Tianyang from breaking through, let other Bulls players who have already prepared make up the defense.

Under this strategy, after playing the entire game, the Lakers won.

But Tianyang's personal data is only 28 points and 8 assists, and his shooting percentage is 34%.

It can be said that the magic is no longer there!

In the postgame press conference, the Bulls coach lost the game but was as happy as if he had won it.

He said that the way to deal with Tianyang is the same as the way to deal with Curry.

That is unlimited singles consumption of energy!And put Tianyang at risk of foul.

He also said that the Warriors' defense against Tianyang was not direct enough.

Tianyang's physical strength should be consumed from the beginning of the game, so don't take any chances!

As long as you are ruthless enough, you can stop Tianyang!

……

20 minutes after the Lakers' game against the Bulls, the Thunder's game against the Spurs also ended.

Westbrook scored a super triple-double of 57 points, 11 assists and 13 rebounds, and led the team to victory.

In comparison between the two, Tianyang's 28 points and 8 assists are really poor.

And Westbrook is playing against the powerful Spurs, the Spurs that once made Tianyang deflated.

Westbrook fans took the opportunity to do a final campaign for Westbrook.

The records of the Lakers and the Thunder, one is 13 wins and 7 losses, and the other is 12 wins and 8 losses. The Lakers are slightly better.

The data of Tianyang and Westbrook, one averaged 32 points and 8 assists per game, and the other averaged 25 points, 11 assists and 10 rebounds per game, were comparable.

Westbrook fans used triple-doubles per game as the focus of publicity, and the effect was so strong that it overwhelmed Tianyang's call for the best of the month, making it seem like Westbrook had decided.

For this reason, many media reporters said that after all, since the establishment of the NBA, the average triple-double has appeared very few times, but fans have seen too many consecutive N games of 40+, 50 points, and 60 points.

Most of these reporters said that they would choose Westbrook in the best of the month vote.

……

Time flies to February 12th.

After 3 days of rest, the Lakers landed at Toronto International Airport by special plane.

As soon as the whole team walked out of the airport, Nick Yang rushed to Tianyang with his mobile phone as if he had won 500 million.

"The NBA has made an official announcement!"

"You won the Rookie of the Month Award!"

"You also won the best player in the Western Conference for the first month!"

At the same time, in the Nike headquarters in California, in the chairman's office.

The members of the public relations department looked at Phil Turner tremblingly, no one dared to gnaw, and the whole office could hear needles being dropped.

SkyOcean getting the best of the month is completely different from what they planned.

Phil Turner frowned for about a minute before slowly relaxing.

He rubbed his hands and asked in a low voice: "Those reporters shouldn't dare to accept the benefits and do nothing?"

Phoebe, the head of the public relations department, quickly replied: "Absolutely not. Although we don't know those people have voting rights, the number of public relations is definitely more than half. It's very strange that Westbrook didn't win the award. I will investigate immediately."

Phil Turner nodded, seeming to understand something.

"There's no need to track it down. It should be the mastermind behind the scenes. I feel the power of privilege..."

　Which of you offended the starting point?Every time I post a comment, it will be deleted immediately... I don't have time to check it from the background.
