Su Feng has become very popular in China in the past two days.
The video of him beating up Sprewell has long been made into a Chinese version and circulated in China. Even CCTV Sports Channel made a special column to quickly report on Su Feng's beating up the madman.
This is "beating up an arrogant foreigner" that really happened, and the process was more exciting and dramatic than those in the movie.
Therefore, Su Feng's fame in China has experienced explosive growth, which is more than ten times faster than that in the United States.
In 2003, it was time to fully integrate with the world. We urgently need some time to boost our national confidence.
Su Feng's combo hit the people right in the heart.
Why are we Chinese inferior to others? Why do you destroy it when you say destroy it? Look at Su Feng, good job. This is how we should fight, and this is how we should display our ambition and heroism.
Anyone who openly offends a strong man will be punished no matter how far away he is.
Suddenly, the Internet was excited.
Su Feng was pushed to a very high position.
Although there are also some "kneeling tribesmen" who are pretending to be right, saying that the madman is very strong. If the madman is defeated this time, what will happen if he comes back next time?
Also, Su Feng is so crazy. He offends the Americans and gets some good results. Which of those black superstars is not better than him? What talent does he have compared to others? '
'I hope you can be so happy one day when Su Feng is beaten up by others. '
'…'
These voices are not mainstream, although they are still a considerable force.
For CCTV officials, their position is naturally to promote our own players. If Su Feng plays well, of course we must promote it well.
Su Feng seemed very cordial after meeting the CCTV camera crew. This was not the first time they had dealt with each other.
Everyone had a great chat, and then the interview was conducted in the hotel conference room.
Jason Thomas started talking about cooperation with several businessmen from China.
The CCTV reporter asked Su Feng about the details of the Minnesota game, then talked about Su Feng's current tactical status with the Bulls, and finally talked about the upcoming Derby game.
This is the focus of this interview.
Since Su Feng entered the NBA, he has risen like a comet. Initially, domestic fans had no impression of him, and the official media also felt that he was a second-round pick, so he might not be able to make a name for himself in the NBA.
Unexpectedly, over the past month, Su Feng has played better and better. Not only has he been firmly established in the starting lineup, but now there is a faint trend of becoming the core of the Bulls' outside line.
In fact, he played better than Yao Ming in his rookie season.
"Are you familiar with Yao Ming?"
"Not very familiar." Su Feng said honestly: "We have no personal contact information yet. However, I believe we will become very good friends. When he entered the NBA, he treated us Chinese students studying in the United States It has great motivating significance. Before he was drafted, I went to the court to play, and people would say: Hey, do Chinese people also play basketball? When I completed a layup, they would also be surprised and applaud, but they didn’t. That emotion that was taken for granted, but instead felt like: Wow, you're great. It felt like I shouldn't have made the layup."
"But when Yao Ming entered the NBA with the first overall pick, my treatment changed drastically. When I first joined the school team, some people would say I was little Yao Ming. But in fact, I played guard. Our style of play It's completely different, and people don't think it's unexpected for a yellow-skinned player to appear in the NCAA Division I league. After all, Yao is already the No. 1 pick in the NBA."
Su Feng talked about what Yao Ming means to him.
"When we play tomorrow, what will you say to him? Will you dunk on his head?" the reporter asked.
"I don't know what I'm going to say. I'm not prepared for this. I won't dunk on him. I don't do anything I'm not sure about."
Su Feng always answered honestly.
Then, the reporter asked Su Feng to predict how many points he would get in the derby. Su Feng said: "I will try my best to get 20 points."
Finally, the CCTV reporter asked Su Feng to say a few words to the fans in front of the TV.
Su Feng said some decent thanks.
The interview is over.
At this time, Yao Ming called reporters. After the reporters interviewed Su Feng, they went to Yao Restaurant to interview Yao Ming. The reporter suddenly suggested: Why don't you meet before the game?
Yao Ming readily agreed, and Su Feng did not refuse.
In this way, a group of them went to Yao Restaurant.
The reporter took a precious picture of the same frame. This was the first time in the history of Chinese basketball that the strongest center and the strongest guard met. When they held their hands together, the CCTV photographer pressed the shutter faster than he could to reward himself.
They sat in a private room in the restaurant for a casual interview, and Su Feng and Yao Ming quickly became familiar with each other. After all, they are two Chinese working hard in the NBA in the United States, and they met fellow countrymen in a foreign land.
"He adapted to the NBA faster than me. I need to pass the language barrier." Yao Ming said: "My English is much better now, but if they speak faster or use some street slang, I can't understand it and can only be embarrassed. smile."
"However, I really didn't expect that he could play like this. I didn't know about this guy until after the draft. My agent at the time told me, hey, one of your compatriots was drafted by the Bulls. I was thinking , who could it be? I named him many times, and then I realized he was a Chinese student."
"At first I thought he might struggle, because second-round picks in the NBA usually don't get good tactical treatment and get some sporadic opportunities from the bench. And there are many unspoken rules in the NBA. But I didn't expect that he would be the first He played so well in one game, and then... now, everyone knows it. A hero saves his beautiful brother, that’s fine."
Yao Ming chatted very relaxedly: "I thought Jackie Chan was filming a movie at the time. The news on TV shocked me. I didn't dare to go out at night, but he actually dared to save the beauty."
"I also paid attention to the matter with Sprewell this morning. NBA stars like to tease or suppress rookies. I was treated this way last year. This is a culture of the NBA."
"However, I didn't expect that Sprewell would say before the game that he would destroy Su Feng. What was even more unexpected was that Su Feng actually defeated him during the game. He is Sprewell, and he and I Having played against each other, he is very strong and is a first-line shooting guard.”
"But Su Feng, you have to be careful next time. If you beat Sprewell and make a name for yourself, many people are also eyeing you. They definitely want to make you famous and make you famous. The Rockets have players like this. They are already gearing up.”
When Su Feng heard this, he was refreshed while eating roast duck. He raised his head and thought: Who is it? Can you provide me with a Sprewell-level confrontation?
Su Feng wanted to make progress too much.
Since his confrontation with Sprewell, his talent has fully evolved, and he is increasingly looking forward to someone coming to his door in anger.
Seeing Su Feng's expectant eyes, Yao Ming felt a little dizzy.
He thought to himself: This little brother looks gentle and handsome, but he is actually a fighting maniac at heart. No wonder he beat up all the madmen and did so mercilessly.
Now, madmen have become a joke in the entire basketball circle. During the team's training today, Yao Ming heard from people in the locker room that Madman beat up all the psychiatrists hired by the team this morning, and the doctor was planning to sue him.
It can be seen how much stimulation Sprewell received.
Who can bear the media overwhelmingly treating him as a villain?
Forget about villains, some villains are pretty cool after all.
However, the villain Sprewell is a clown who overestimates his abilities.
What is unbearable is unbearable. For an emotionally unstable person who dares to strangle the head coach, it is normal to see a psychiatrist. It is even less strange to get angry when the psychiatrist asks about the pain point.
After eating and drinking, and after the interview, while chatting privately, Yao Ming and Su Feng talked about something that couldn't be broadcast. For example, he complained about some locker room culture in the NBA and was not adaptable to the living habits of some players. Of course, some tips for getting fouled on the court will also be discussed.
When two Chinese players are together, there is always a lot to communicate. They are natural allies in the NBA and have a mutually supportive relationship.
Moreover, they are likely to serve the country together in the future.
At the end of the chat, Su Feng asked Yao Ming something about his domestic endorsements.
Yao Ming said that he established Team Yao, and the United States also hired agents, but the American agents mainly helped him negotiate some business activities in the United States.
Su Feng's idea of establishing a 'Su's Team' became more and more intense.
Now my fame is getting bigger and bigger, and I am getting more and more business work. Jason Thomas is definitely too busy alone, and he is actually mainly good at investing. He took the brokerage certificate while studying and has never done any substantive work.
Therefore, Su Feng hopes to recruit a few more professionals to help him.
Of course, Jason Thomas and he share weal and woe, and his fees are very low, so it is impossible for Su Feng to abandon him.
The key is... what Jason Thomas hopes to do most is to use Su Feng to complete his counterattack in the investment world. He wants to prove to Wall Street that his vision is correct.
I had a great time chatting with Yao Ming.
The next night, the Houston Arena was brightly lit and crowded.
Even before the game started, the arena was already bustling with excitement. The Rockets invited dragon and lion dances from Chinatown and acrobatic performances. They took the Chinese Derby very seriously and treated it like a Christmas Day game.
Rockets owner Alexander is very business-minded and he knows very well where the Rockets' future profit growth points will be. After acquiring Yao Ming, the Rockets became the home team for all Chinese fans, which gave them a lot of gains.
The Rockets' home court was decorated with lights and colorful decorations, and it was extremely lively, and the fans were also beaming with joy.
However, one person in the Rockets formation sneered.
He is Jim Jackson.
The fourth overall pick in 1992.
A talented player, an arrogant player, and a very unsociable player in the locker room. Of course, he is also the most famous homeless player in the NBA, and is even revered as the King of Homeless Players.
He averaged 16.3 points per game in his rookie season, establishing his status in the world. He averaged a maximum of 25.7 points per game with the Mavericks, becoming one of the first-line shooting guards in the NBA.
He formed the famous 3J combination with Jamal Mashburn and Jason Kidd, which once dominated the Western Conference. But in the end he was traded away because of his jealousy with Jason Kidd. It's quite absurd to say that 3J fell in love with the same stripper.
They then took their nightclub rivalry into the locker room and the team immediately fell apart. In the end, sophomore Jason Kidd put pressure on the team and the team chose to trade Jim Jackson.
In this way, Jim started his wandering career. It has been eight years now, changing teams almost every year, or even two teams every year.
After leaving the Mavericks, the teams he has experienced so far are: New Jersey Nets, Philadelphia 76ers, Golden State Warriors, Portland Trail Blazers, Atlanta Hawks, Cleveland Cavaliers, Miami Heat, Sacramento Kings , Houston Rockets.
The fact that a player can change so many teams and still stay in the league and still start the game means two things: first, there must be something wrong with this person, and second, this person must have the ability.
That's the case with Jim Jackson. As great as he is, his temper is as bad as his temper, or how unsociable he is.
Now when the whole team is happy for the Chinese Derby and happy to get the attention of hundreds of millions of fans across the ocean, he sang the opposite tune.
"I'm going to beat Sue, and I'm going to show him what a good shooting guard looks like."
"I watched video of his game in Minnesota, and Sprewell fell for it. He was too restless."
"I'm going to show Sue what it means to be a true NBA star guard."
"Although this is a Chinese derby between Yao and Su, I'm sorry, but I have to be the protagonist tonight."
"This is my contract year and I need a big contract to support my family."
This is what Jim Jackson said to the CCTV camera.
A CCTV reporter interviewed him and asked him what he had to say about the Chinese Derby.
All the Rockets players watched the yellow-skinned reporter being interviewed and made some remarks. Even if you have some opinions in your heart, you will behave well in front of the media.
But Jim Jackson didn't hide it at all, he was just so 'upright'.
This embarrassed the CCTV reporter.
No wonder Jim Jackson has never received an annual salary of tens of millions, or even a full middle-class salary. O'Neal and Mourning, who were at the same time as him, are both players who have received billion-dollar contracts. O'Neal is even about to get his second billion-dollar contract. Laettner, the third pick ahead of him, has a total career salary of more than 60 million US dollars so far. Laettner's statistics and performance are not as good as him, but until now, his total salary is only 20 million US dollars.
Extremely inconsistent with strength.
This is closely related to his character.
No wonder he said he wanted a contract for retirement.
However, he set his sights on Su Feng.
Is it really a good idea?
The reporter ran over to find Su Feng and told Su Feng exactly what Jim Jackson said. Originally, he wanted to make Su Feng alert.
But when Su Feng heard this, his eyebrows were filled with smiles and he immediately became happy.
I wanted to doze off and came up with a pillow.
3J is indeed timely.
