Chapter 229 How to stimulate fan value growth(1/2)
No one expected this ending before the game.
But... both the media and the TV station seemed extremely happy about this result.
The previous two games between the Warriors and Trail Blazers were one-sided and average, so even if the media tried their best to promote the game before the game, the effect was average.
This time it was also a one-sided situation, but the difference was that the one who fell was the Portland Trail Blazers.
The effect of the program can be said to be full of success, and it is completely in line with what the TV station wants... "Counterattack!", this kind of topic is what the media people want to see.
When the final whistle sounded, Oracle Arena started shouting Curry's name. The Warriors fans were so happy that they were able to defeat the menacing Trail Blazers.
Wang Zelin stood on the court stunned for half a minute, only to come to his senses when Lillard patted him on the shoulder.
The reporters recorded all the scenes of Wang Zelin being stunned, Curry celebrating, and the fans cheering.
"Elementary school students nowadays are so difficult to mess with, so why not evolve into the daily mode?"
Wang Zelin knows better than anyone else the huge wave that Curry will sweep across in the future. Precisely because of this, he is very aware of the timing of Curry's rise.
This season is just the beginning, and the next 13-14 seasons will be the time when Curry begins to rise.
It can only be said that he is worthy of being the future two-time regular season MVP winner. Although he has not yet entered the full body, his performance is still explosive.
…
night.
After the interview, Wang Zelin returned to the training ground to prepare for coaching. As a result, he received an invitation from Klay Thompson to go out for a massage and a late-night snack, and by the way, find a group of girls and so on...
Of course, not only Wang Zelin, Lillard and Will Barton were also invited.
After a brief collaboration during the All-Star Rookie Game, the trio of Wang Zelin and the Warriors duo got on well and exchanged contact information after the game.
Different from the low-key image of a fool on the court, Klay Thompson's off-court life is called someone who knows how to play. Wang Zelin knows with his toes that once invited, the former will definitely make a fuss... In the end, he still went
.
I don’t mean anything else, I just want to relive the night view of Los Angeles.
…
On March 31st, there are a total of 10 NBA games to be broadcast, including the Thunder, Grizzlies, Clippers and other Western Conference giants, as well as the high-profile Lakers.
Therefore, this night is destined to be uneventful.
Sure enough, on the first day of April, the old blacksmith in Los Angeles swept away fallen leaves with strong winds and landed on the headlines of major news media.
In the Lakers' last game in March, all members of the F4 team played, but unfortunately it still happened.
He only played for 1 minute and 48 seconds before being seriously injured and exiting the game. The start of the game cast a pall over the Lakers' prospects.
Before the 2012-13 season, Nash was considered a model worker among No. 1 players. Except for the third and fourth years of his rookie contract, he never played less than 60 games in a season.
After coming to the Lakers, Nash has been injured intermittently since the beginning of the season, major or minor, which seriously affected his attendance rate.
As of April 1, Nash's attendance rate this season was only 44 games, a career low since the 1998-99 season.
At this time, many fans suddenly remembered that Nash, the former two-time regular season MVP, the NBA's top court master, and the son of the wind... had just celebrated his 39th birthday.
He is already the fourth oldest player in the league!
A strong sense of sadness seems to run through Nash's entire career, from the Suns to the Mavericks, from returning to the Suns to forming the Lakers F4. The championship ring that Nash has worked hard for his entire career has always been like a mirror, just out of reach.
"Man, this era no longer belongs to me. I think... it's time for me to consider saying goodbye to the league."
Back in the locker room, Nash looked up at No. 24 in front of him, his words showing a bit of frustration and a bit of relief.
"Stop saying such stupid things, Steve, we are still going to the playoffs, so take good care of your injuries!"
Facing his friends in the same class, No. 24 changed his normal attitude and showed a rare heart-warming smile, because he saw something more persistent in Nash.
It’s called ~ unwillingness!
"But, Bryant, do we still have a chance?"
Sure enough, Nash is far less plain than he appears. He has been playing in the league for nearly two decades. If it weren't for his earnest pursuit of the O'Brien Cup, he would have chosen to retire and go back to spend time with his family.
Is there still a chance?
This is also a question that has been lingering on Kobe's mind for a long time.
By now, he has already understood the problems of the team.
The lineup is aging, Howard is vaguely at odds with himself and the team, and the role players have lost their aggressiveness due to the long period of failure...
He knows all this.
But... who makes him Kobe Bryant!
"Of course!" Kobe lowered his head and saw Nash's eyes, telling the truth: "Take good care of your injuries, we still have the playoffs to play!"
"Hahaha!" Nash chuckled, "You are still as stubborn as ever... I'm waiting for your good news!"
Nash stretched out his right fist, just like he did when he first met Kobe 16 years ago, his eyes filled with surging desire to fight.
I still remember that night, Nash, who was selected with the 15th pick in the first round, was curious about Kobe, who was two picks higher than him, but mostly he was still unconvinced.
How could a mere high school student be picked two picks higher than him? Later, he was favored by the logo man and was traded to Angel City, a city that countless players yearned for.
But now, Nash has long let go of all the past. What he wants to do, what he can do, is to play the last afterglow of his career with the No. 24 in front of him.
At this time, the Lakers had just lost to the Bucks in their last game, and the mosaic distance from eighth place had been widened again. If they lose another game, the Lakers will be overtaken by the Jazz behind them and fall to tenth in the Western Conference.
Reappearing on the stage, the old Mamba felt countless strange looks from the sidelines, and his expression became indifferent.
You are all expecting me to lose, right?
But I am not as good as you want!
…
47 minutes and 37 seconds ~ Kobe played almost the entire game and sent out a season record-tying 14 assists. Gasol sent out a season-high 10 assists. Together with Howard, he led the Lakers to a difficult away victory with a score of 103:98.
Kings.
Mosaic, don’t even think about taking it easy!
This game allowed many people to see another form of Kobe... He tried his best to control his shots in the first quarter, making 0 of 3 shots and scoring no points. However, he contributed 5 assists, 3 rebounds and 2 steals, becoming a master in charge and a defensive leader.
In the second quarter, after noticing that the Kings were gradually relaxing their vigilance, Kobe began to show off his offensive power, scoring 10 points in a single quarter, helping the team lead 57:53, while his opponent scored 4 points.
During the halftime break, Kobe's photo appeared on the big screen... With 10 points in the second quarter, Kobe surpassed Chamberlain and rose to fourth place on the NBA's all-time scoring list, ushering in another major career milestone!
For the king, it was like a heavy blow to the chest, causing morale to fluctuate.
In the following third quarter, Howard and Kobe suddenly cooperated sincerely, scoring 15 points together inside and outside. Coupled with 8 points of firepower contributed by Jamison coming off the bench, the Lakers entered the final quarter at 82:75.
At the end of the quarter, Cousins resisted the entire Lakers team by himself, overwhelming the Kings inside and scoring the first 12 points. Until the last 26 seconds, the Lakers only led by three points, 101:98.
At the critical moment, Kobe defended Evans on his own and made a magical steal. The Kings had to foul again and sent Kobe to the service line.
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
Made both free throws.
In the end, the Lakers narrowly defeated the Kings by 5 points.
Kobe Bryant took 18 shots tonight and scored 19 points on 6 hits. His shooting percentage was only 30%, but he still became the best player in the game.
19 points, 14 assists and 9 rebounds... The Black Mamba's triple-double led the team to a narrow victory over the Kings, highlighting his determination to enter the playoffs and becoming the headlines of the day.
What followed was the sudden overturn of the Trail Blazers.
One is a positive teaching material, and the other is a negative teaching material. The two pieces of news quickly detonated the basketball circle.
…
The next day.
Thanks to the power of the biological clock, Wang Zelin woke up at around 6 o'clock, got up and turned on his mobile phone... The outside world is still actively comparing the different endings of the Lakers and Trail Blazers when they are also absent.
"Seize the bamboo shoots!"
After taking a look at the tragic situation around him, he thought for a moment and got out of bed.
Last night's cross-border battle allowed him to completely vent his anger after losing, and now he has entered the sage mode. Women and other things are just a cloud.
Enter the system space, open the lottery panel, and check the current fan value.
88.36 million!
We are just a little short of the small goal of 100 million.
"No, you can't touch fish anymore. If you touch it again, you will become addicted!"
In Wang Zelin's original plan, his fan value was to exceed 100 million in the first round of the playoffs, but the plan did not change. He suddenly missed two weeks of games, which slowed down the growth of his fan value. It was already in April and it had not reached 90 million.
.
No, the responsibility does not entirely lie with me.
It's all due to the coach's "guaranteed three, not two" strategy, which made it difficult for his hands and feet to feel comfortable and to exert his full strength.
To be continued...
