Chapter 189: Windy City Rose
Chen Mo scored another 24 points and 14 assists in the game against the Grizzlies, and the video of him blowing up the Grizzlies backcourt trio in the second quarter made his popularity soar again. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info is that on January 12, after Chen Mo finished fighting the Grizzlies, the All-Star votes have exceeded 4 million. With one week left in the All-Star voting deadline, it is already a sure thing for Chen Mo to break the all-time vote king record set by Howard.
In addition, the sales of Chen Mo's Grim Reaper generation boots in North America have exceeded 100 million in less than half a month. Compared with the sales of more than one million in three hours on the first day, this achievement is also brilliant.
Kevin Planck is now secretly overjoyed by the wise decision he has made, and although the company has paid a lot, it has also gained a lot. Now Under Armour is in full swing to enter the Chinese market, and I believe that with Chen Mo's appeal in China, the Chinese market will be extremely hot.
With the rise of Chen Mo's popularity, ESPN's attack on Chen Mo has not stopped.
Derrick Rose has entered the league as the top pick in '08, averaging 25.1 points and 7.7 assists per game this year, and leading the Bulls to a 29-6 record in the first place in the East, and it looks like he even has the momentum to win the regular season MVP this year.
And the most important thing is that Chen Mo's status as the all-star vote king made Ross quite unconvinced. And now Wade is ahead of Rose with 100,000 votes, which makes it very likely that Rose will lose his position as the starting All-Star guard, so how can Rose not resent Chen Mo?
"It's just because there are many Chinese, and he happens to be Chinese." Ross said sourly in front of reporters.
"Chinese don't know how to watch football at all, their basketball is extremely weak, and they are simply voting randomly." When Rose said this, the disbelief on his face was clearly written, "If it weren't for the color of his skin, he wouldn't have been able to have so many votes." ā
In 10 years, Chinese fans almost threw Yi Jianlian into the Eastern All-Star starter, which caused a wave of abuse in North America at that time. Fortunately, in the end, the wolf king Garnett came from behind, otherwise Yi Jianlian would really become the weakest starting forward in All-Star history.
American fans are quite indignant at such voting behavior of the Chinese, but the Yangyang Tian-Chao, which has a population of 1.3 billion, is that there are many people, are you not convinced?
For Chen Mo's growing popularity, ESPN's cannons have not stopped bombarding Chen Mo.
Commentators, led by Sean Williams, agreed that Rose would blow up Chen.
Chen Mo's skills are good, his shooting is accurate, and his passing is weird, which is already recognized by everyone. After the baptism of one game after another, everyone has been impeccable.
But now ESPN believes that Chen Mo is not a good team core, and his style is destined to entertain the public, but not to make a career in the playoffs.
"When the defensive level is raised, his weak body will inevitably be greatly impacted, and maybe his record of 100% successful shooting percentage will be broken. The NBA is a place where toughness and iron-blooded are needed, and this is not a street court to please the audience. ā
ESPN even cites the Dallas Mavericks and Phoenix Grizzlies as examples, arguing that Nowitzki's Mavericks are the most similar to today's Bobcats. Because their cores are soft......
Even if the Bobcats have a good result in the regular season, they will be very embarrassed to enter the playoffs.
Moreover, no team with a point guard at its core has ever won a championship. Therefore, ESPN is very unoptimistic about Bobcat and Chen Mo.
In addition, Rose is a guard who is fast and does not lack strength to fight, and Chen Mo can only be exploded in the face of Rose's breakthrough.
Chen Mo watched ESPN's views on the game on TV, but except for the last point, Chen Mo did not agree with anything else.
Chen Mo didn't have much confidence in defending Rose, and he didn't know if the brain enhancement of Vic's Ring would make Chen Mo stronger when it broke through the second grid.
But Chen Mo couldn't stop Rose, and Rose couldn't stop him. Coach Thibodeau's team is known for its defense, but even if it is the Bulls' overall defense, Chen Mo is sure that he will not be limited by them.
In fact, Chen Mo now has the strength of a superstar, all he needs is the precipitation of time, more honors, more records to write his name, and accumulate more popularity in North America.
The North American sports circle is a complete circle, and Chen Mo must be recognized by more fans here before he can be called a superstar. Like Nowitzki, who has won the regular season MVP, there are still many fans in the United States who don't like him.
His deep roots in the most xenophobic part of Texas also have a certain relationship, but his identity as an American is the biggest flaw, and his style of play is not particularly likable. Therefore, Qiang Ru Dirk has never been recognized as a superstar.
Chen Mo is in a much better situation than Nowitzki, his style of play is pleasing and handsome, and he is also Chinese, and the Chinese household registration book is definitely a huge advantage in the NBA.
Compared to this Charlotte vs. Chicago game, the battle for the new generation of super point guards is just one of the top ones.
Another huge boss is that Jordan will face the old owner as the boss.
The name of the basketball god of Mr. Joe is wearing the No. 23 jersey of the Bulls, galloping in the NBA league, winning two triple championships, and establishing the Bulls dynasty twice.
The Bulls went silent immediately after Jordan's retirement, and this time they finally revived after signing Rose with the No. 1 pick.
The media in Chicago believe that Rose has taken over the mantle of Jordan and will lead the Bulls to another great event. After all, he is now 22 years old, and he still has untapped potential, and he is already so powerful.
"I'm going to show the fans in a direct alignment who is more worthy of an All-Star starter." When Rose arrived at the Time Warner Center before the game, he was still haunted by the All-Star starter. In a pre-match interview with reporters, Rose couldn't wait to prove that he was stronger than Chen Mo.
Chen Mo did not make any response to Rose's battle report, and his answer in the interview before the game was very official, "I believe we are a better team, we will play our strength in the game, this is our turf, we will defend our home turf." ā
Chen Mo doesn't like to say more in the face of reporters, which is already something that everyone knows, in fact, it is precisely because Chen Mo has perfunctory ESPN's reporters many times that ESPN is even more disgusted with Chen Mo.
Chen Mo has always been clear about ESPN's slander, but he rarely fights with these reporters and media. Now that he's the hottest player in the league and has signed the biggest shoe contract, he can't afford to tear up his reporters who don't pay him and try to curry favor with them.
After all...... As much praise as you can withstand, as much slander as you can withstand! (To be continued.) )
