Basketball's best forward and guard

Chapter 40 40 [Explanation]

After finishing his work with Coca-Cola, Jiang Hao devoted his energy and time to the training hall.

As Popovich said, no matter how far they can go in the playoffs, at least they have to be prepared.

Especially from Jiang Hao's point of view, this is the first playoff trip in his career. It is conceivable that he will encounter unprecedented challenges. Really hopeless.

Fortunately, although they are about to face the top-ranked Houston Rockets, the Rockets have never been a defensive team.

To a certain extent, this is good news for Jiang Hao. He only needs to show his offensive level as much as possible, and he has basically fulfilled the requirements.

.........

A few days later, the playoffs officially started. Early in the morning, the Spurs arrived in Houston. After resting at the hotel, they went directly to the Toyota Center. At [-] o'clock in the evening, the game officially started.

In China, Rich Paul seems to have taken action.

First, he communicated with Sina Weibo and officially opened Sina Weibo for Jiang Hao.

Weibo has an astonishing number of users in China today.

Jiang Hao didn't open Weibo before that, Rich Paul is a shrewd agent, he knows what to do first when he comes to China.

I also know the importance of social media, so I directly cooperated with Sina.com.

As soon as Jiang Hao's Weibo was opened, his number of fans immediately started to skyrocket.

100 million.

200 million.

.........

2000 million. In just a little over two days, Jiang Hao's Weibo fans have increased to 2000 million. This is a very scary speed, and this speed is still going on.

Rich Paul was also very excited after witnessing this kind of madness. Jiang Hao's popularity in China was far more exaggerated than he imagined.

So, he made another big deal.

Jiang Hao's Douyin and Kuaishou accounts have also been opened.

In addition, he has also successfully negotiated with a well-known domestic live broadcast platform. Jiang Hao will spare a little time every month to interact with fans in the live broadcast room.

Rich Paul thinks all this is very good. To be honest, his impression of China is still in the last century, thinking that China is very backward, but now it seems that he has become a frog in a well.

In addition to starting to lay out Jiang Hao's business territory in China, Rich Paul also visited the Chinese Basketball Association and met Yao Ming, the chairman of the Basketball Association.

As Jiang Hao's agent, he must know Jiang Hao's schedule and games like the back of his hand, and as a professional player, especially an excellent professional player, he will always be linked to the national team.

In this case, he communicated with Yao Ming in advance, which is obviously good for both parties.

"This is really great, respected Chairman Yao, I believe that under your leadership, the strength of Chinese basketball will definitely improve by leaps and bounds."

After learning that Yao Ming has implemented the invitation system, Rich Paul admired Yao Ming very much. In this way, Jiang Hao's burden will definitely be less.

Of course, he also assured Yao Ming that Jiang Hao would never refuse to play for China, as long as Jiang Hao had the conditions to play.

…………

At 4 am on April 19, BJ time, Tencent Sports Studio.

Famous commentators Yang Yi and Wang Meng are ready to work.

The game they are about to comment on is officially the first game in the Rockets-Spurs series.

Netizens who are used to watching their game commentary are a little uncomfortable today, because everyone found that the beautiful host "Little Aunt" Xu Xiaoyi, who has been appearing in key games this year, did not appear today. The one who appeared in the studio today became another one. The beautiful hostess Mina.

Where did little aunt go?

Many netizens were very surprised.

"Sometimes, we are still very envious of Xiaoyi. She has the opportunity to watch the game live. You must know that watching the game live and watching the broadcast are two completely different concepts."

The conversation between Yang Yi and Wang Meng exposed the whereabouts of the little aunt.

It turns out that my aunt went to watch the game live?

This is too...

Netizens were a little surprised.

Isn't she a big fan of Kobe?However, Kobe has retired.

Little aunt is still a Rockets fan?Harden or Paul?

No, no, maybe she is a fan of Jiang Hao, don't forget that my little aunt said in the live broadcast room that Jiang Hao is the kind of boy he likes.

Netizens are boiling.

If the little aunt travels thousands of miles to watch Jiang Hao's game live, then what does that mean?

.........

At the Toyota Center, the lights dimmed and everything was silent. Under the guidance of the super loud DJ sound on the scene, players from both sides completed their appearances one after another.

As a Texas team, there are many grievances between the Spurs and the Rockets. Just last season, the Rockets were slapped out of the Western Conference Finals by Manu Ginobili in the Western Conference Semifinals.

What's more, in the Spurs formation, there is still Aldridge, the so-called rocket nemesis' big killer.

Therefore, in the tense playoffs, Rockets fans don't have much favor for the Spurs players as a whole.

This year's playoffs, the Rockets' strength has soared. After facing the Spurs, whose strength has not improved but declined, they want to see a revenge game.

No, when Jiang Hao played, he was even annoyed that he heard some abuse from both sides of the stands.

Jiang Hao shook his head. For the Houston Rockets team, his emotions are actually very complicated, because like many fans in China, he also has a "Rocket complex" under the influence of Yao Ming.

During the final warm-up time, Jiang Hao looked towards a certain area in the stands, where he saw a figure, a figure that might make his hormones explode.

As the starting player for the Spurs tonight, the cameras at the scene gave Jiang Hao certain shots, and the Rockets obviously attached great importance to Jiang Hao. When the cameras showed Jiang Hao, Jiang Hao was even displayed on the super large electronic screen regular season highlights.

Indeed, as the Spurs' second scorer this season, Jiang Hao's state will affect the direction of tonight's game to a certain extent.

Although he is only a rookie, it is obvious that the Rockets did not despise Jiang Hao because of this.

The domestic fans were a little emotional at this time, because they saw Jiang Hao under the focus of the camera, and Zhou Qi who was swept away by the camera.

The same is the pride of China, but what they actually want to see is that both of them can become the focus of the court. That is the pride of Chinese basketball.

Zhou Qi was not happy with the Rockets this season. He basically didn't get too many opportunities to play in the regular season. What kind of opportunity has he got? It can be seen from his unhappy expression at the moment.
