Quan Chou was shocked!
A yellow-skinned guy, just because he played a better game in the NCAA, his tag can enter the top 10 trending list on Twitter!
The top 10 of this hot list is not just some newbies from later generations, but a reflection of real social influence. Those who have been able to rise to this position in the past have happened that can have an impact on all of America. Mass incidents, such related entries can rise to this position.
Today, as a Chinese player, Li Kaiming's label has risen to this position because of one game. How can he not surprise everyone who sees it?
Of course, the behind-the-scenes operation of his beautiful agent must be indispensable.
But in the final analysis, his performance is impeccable. Otherwise, if he is only a strong supporter, he will not be able to have such a big influence no matter how much hype he makes.
At the same time, a large number of fans also poured into the personal account of Koslov, Li Kaiming's number one fan, and ridiculed him in the comment area.
"After the last game, didn't you say that Li Kaiming would only rely on his teammates? Why didn't you talk today?"
"This guy doesn't want to play against the wind at first sight. He's really a FW!"
"I have long disliked this guy. In the last game, Li Kaiming's performance was obviously very good..."
"That's right, I watched the whole game. The University of Maryland double-teamed Li Kaiming like crazy, but he still got 19 points, 23 rebounds, 5 assists and 4 blocks. Are these bad statistics?"
"Good boy, are you taking offense to this performance?"
"Some people are not blind, but they are blind in heart. These guys did it on purpose!"
…
One game completely reversed Li Kaiming's image. In the comment section of Koslov's last tweet, he was still a blue-collar center who could only grab rebounds and miss the ball at critical moments. But in this current comment District, he has become the second generation Duncan among fans, a talented center who has a chance to enter the lottery!
The difference between before and after is like water and fire!
In such an atmosphere, most of Li Kaiming's "black men" in the previous comment area quietly deleted their comments, as if they had never been to this comment area.
Koslov himself, after being bombarded with private messages and comments for several hours, directly closed the comment area and private messages, and became a coward.
Lying on the hotel bed, Li Kaiming held his mobile phone and flipped through online comments, smiling knowingly from time to time.
He picked up his phone, took a selfie of his handsome face, and then posted his personal Twitter and attached the copy:
A perfect day, keep up the good work!
The moment the tweet was sent, a notification sound came from the phone. Li Kaiming picked up the phone and saw that it was someone commenting on him on Twitter.
"Holy shit, shit, is it Li Kaiming himself?"
"There is no official certification, but this selfie is so real. Is the PS technology so advanced?"
"Honey, look at me, are you in need of a warm bed?"
"Can the guy upstairs stop being so coquettish? Brother Kaiming, look at me, look at me. I've been a professional warmer for twenty years!"
…
Of course, in addition to those who got close to him in the comment area, there was another kind of person who also appeared immediately.
Within half an hour of the tweet being sent out, at least ten guys who were thinking from the bottom of their bodies used the same avatar as Li Kaiming, and then changed their nicknames to be very similar, and went to privately chat with the little girls in the comment area.
There is even something even more outrageous. After copying his account, he tweeted:
I am Li Kaiming of the Memphis Tigers. I forgot to bring money when I went out to play tonight. If anyone is willing to help me pay for my meals and transportation, I will give you one-tenth of my salary when I enter the NBA. I have attached my own below. Bank Account……
Seeing these guys getting more and more outrageous, Li Kaiming was also frightened!
If a female fan is deceived, or if someone is defrauded of money because of him, shouldn't it be blamed on him?
Therefore, even though he was short of money at this time, he gritted his teeth and spent dozens of dollars to conduct a personal verification of his account. From now on, there would be a small blue check mark under his account. , indicating that this is a genuine Li Kaiming that has been officially certified.
It was okay that he didn't authenticate, but once he authenticated, it was like poking a hornet's nest. In just half an hour, his account's followers exceeded 50,000!
Even he himself felt a little stunned by such a huge influence!
