Seeing Min Congda's question, Fan Chen thought about it seriously. He thought it was a test given to him by mcd.
Fan Chen previously prided himself on his basketball skills. With his amazing memory and data processing capabilities, as well as his outstanding logical thinking and eloquence, he often defeated his opponents in forum debates.
He has gained some fame among some senior fans. He will always @him on any basketball discussion topic. Every time he speaks and replies, he always lights up the group and is often applauded.
The mutual compliments between these fans benefited Fan Chen a lot, and he gradually became more arrogant and felt that he was very authoritative and had the right to speak among the fans.
Until some time ago, this person named "Clippers General Manager McD" said that he wanted to cooperate with him to translate articles, translate Chinese into English, and publish them on American social media.
Fan Chen was very interested in what kind of articles this mcd could write. After looking forward to it for a few days, he received a post-game article.
It was written about the Christmas Day battle between the Clippers and the Suns. This game can be said to be lively and eye-catching. After the game, various post-game analyzes came one after another.
Fan Chen surfed with high intensity and made many comments and opinions about this competition.
Goupu's well-known big V chapter also wrote an article after the game, lamenting "the point guard inheritance between Stephen Curry and Nash". The readers who read this bloody article were excited and full of feelings, thinking that Nash has a successor.
However, after reading the post-game summary sent to him by mcd, Fan Chen understood what a real game report was.
The article is not lengthy, but very detailed.
From the team’s morale, status, preparation, and tactical arrangements before the game.
Tactical changes, key nodes, and detailed contests during the game.
Then to the player reactions after the game, media interviews, and final summary.
Everything is written in an orderly and eloquent way, and after reading it I feel like I am actually there.
What surprised Fan Chen the most was the tactics and situation analysis of the Clippers and Suns.
The writing can be described as penetrating and touches on many details that are difficult for ordinary fans to understand.
Combined with the status of the players and the changes in the situation on the field, it makes people feel like they are suddenly enlightened.
"Oh, it turns out that this was the situation at that time, it turns out that the two sides were arranged like this, it turns out that something like this happened at that time, so it was like that..."
After reading the entire article, I felt completely relaxed.
Only then did Fan Chen realize that he had met a master, a real master.
He asked "Clippers general manager mcd" if he could share this article on Goupu.com.
mcd said that as long as they help translate it into English and post it on the website’s blog, the Chinese version can be handled however you like.
But don't reveal to others who wrote it.
So Fan Chen first translated this article into English and posted it on his English blog.
Then, he used his Goupu account to publish this post-match commentary on the forum.
At the beginning of the article, he specifically emphasized, "This article was written by a senior fan friend, but he did not want to reveal his identity for everyone to comment on."
After the article was published, it was immediately highlighted, and a large number of netizens began to reply, saying "this is football commentary."
In order to improve readability, Fan Chen also specially added illustrations and data tables to the article to further improve the reading quality.
For a time, the daily postgame of ID "Serving Rice" became a must-read for Goupu netizens.
After writing about three games in a row, Fan Chen now asks every day if there is a post-game.
He found that the mcd Clippers game was particularly detailed and outstanding, and the description of the Clippers was lifelike.
The descriptions and evaluations of other teams are equally accurate, but not as full of details.
Today's game between the Clippers and the Lakers is very exciting, and everyone is waiting for the post-game commentary.
Fan Chen then hurriedly asked Min Congda for a post-match article.
In 2009, basketball consulting in China was not developed enough, and there was not much first-hand information.
The professionalism of many articles can only be said to be OK, but more of them are like story meetings, focusing on storytelling and emotion.
The discussion of basketball skills and tactics itself is at a relatively superficial stage. After all, the editors are not insiders in the industry, and all they have access to is second-hand, third-hand, or even fourth-, fifth-, and sixth-hand information and news.
There is no first-hand information, and what is written is more or less a joke, which is enough for fans to enjoy.
But who is Min Congda? The general manager of the Clippers, the front-line management staff.
It's like players going to the TV station to commentate on the game in person, which is completely different from ordinary basketball commentators.
Many commentators in the NBA are retired players. After the TV station hired them to participate in the commentary, they immediately found that they had outstanding effects.
Their experience of the game is very intuitive, they can provide many details that cannot be observed by onlookers, and their understanding of basketball is even more professional.
As soon as Min Congda's post-game comments came out, all the bloody and sentimental articles on Goupu.com were eclipsed.
As the saying goes, you are not afraid of not knowing the goods, but you are afraid of comparing goods.
Min Congda didn't think too much. Writing after the game was partly to sort out his thoughts.
When it didn't work, he felt it was necessary to dig into the problem and why it happened.
On the other hand, of course it is in response to increasingly unfavorable public opinion.
While his articles are becoming increasingly popular on Goupu.com, they are still developing in the United States.
There are too many professional football commentary articles in the United States, and how many people point to this industry for food.
It’s still very difficult to make a name for yourself by just relying on a few post-game articles.
Min Congda is not in a hurry, he knows that these things need to be accumulated slowly.
When it accumulates to a certain amount, it will naturally explode.
When the Clippers and Grizzlies were trading some time ago, Min Congda asked the Twitter account registered by Shengfan to post predictions in advance.
After the deal was concluded, the account immediately gained tens of thousands of fans, and the exchange rumors were forwarded in large numbers, which also attracted a wave of traffic to his basketball blog.
Min Congda wants to slowly build up this Twitter account and blog account in the future to form a confrontation with the mainstream media.
Like ESPN or CBS, if you write an article praising the Clippers and saying the Clippers are good, I will do the opposite and hedge against you!
Thinking of this, Min Congda stepped up to write this article. After the game, he focused on praising the Lakers and showing the strength of the Lakers.
A great article was written in one go. Min Congda read it from beginning to end and thought to himself: "My writing skills and logic are pretty good. If I don't succeed in writing them in the future, I can write memoirs and autobiographies and sell them to make a living, right?"
Unexpectedly, the system reminded: [It is forbidden to make money by writing NBA memoirs and autobiographies. 】
"Damn it! Then I can write!"
Oh, write it, the system has no objection, then just write it as a last resort.
Min Congda felt that his writing was OK, so he sent a message to Fan Chen: "I have written the article. Have you thought about the questions I asked you? Give me the answer, and I will give you the article."
Fan Chen replied: "After thinking about it, I think Stephen Curry's potential is relatively limited."
