Chapter 14: Russell's Counterattack
However, whether it is questioning or mocking, in short, this is all to brush up on Yi Feng's popularity.
The more popular a person is, the easier it is to attract black, on the contrary, the more black a person is, the easier it is to become popular.
Many large media in the United States have reported on Yi Feng, helping him become popular all over the United States overnight. But at the same time, it also pushed Yifeng to the forefront. He became the target of public criticism.
The people of the United States questioned Yi Feng's falsification of physical data, questioned that his show was computer synthesis, and questioned that all major media in the United States had received black money from the Chinese Yankees.
In fact, what they said is not entirely wrong.
The reason why major media in the United States competed to report Yi Feng's amazing performance on the first day of the Chicago joint training camp was that, on the one hand, this news did have a huge breaking point and had high news value; On the other hand, it is the credit of Yifeng's agent Zhou Mu.
I have to say that Zhou Mu is indeed a mouthful, and his connections in the United States are beyond Yi Feng's imagination. Zhou Mu instructed Yi Feng to reveal his life experience when he faced an interview with an American reporter.
Although Yi Feng didn't want to win sympathy through his background, he could only do this for the sake of the draft. You know, the salary of the lotto show is much higher than the salary of the second round show!
In the eyes of a poor man, $10,000 is already a lot of money, and he can live on it for a few years!
Therefore, he didn't want to give up a penny, and worked hard to get his draft pick.
If the Americans want to hack me, let them hack. Anyway, I won't break my hands and feet because of this, and I won't lose two taels of meat because of this. If they scolded me, I would have made more money!
Why not?
At the same time, at a time when Yifeng's news was dominating the front pages of major media outlets, reports about Russell appeared in some inconspicuous corners of the media. There are more than one or two of these reports.
The content of the report is not praise for Russell, but his black material.
Some reported that he was completely blown up by Yi Feng in the physical test, and his face was embarrassed; Some reported that he had a big flaw in his personality, was narrow-minded, and was not a useful person; Some reports directly accused him of disrespecting reporters, not only rudely refusing to be interviewed, but also not apologizing afterwards.
It seems that Russell's agent still hasn't put the angry reporters at bay. It seems that Russell should be grateful to Yi Feng, if he hadn't blocked the attacking firepower of the American imperialist people in front, maybe this fire would have burned on him.
"Hahahaha! Well, good scolding! I see how long this little white face can be arrogant! β
Russell was at home, watching a special commentator of an American media question the Yifeng physical measurement data, and he couldn't help but be amazed.
"He's so right, Jones, come and see! It said that he should have taken stimulants, so he was able to measure this physical test data that did not belong to the yellow race. I think it makes a lot of sense! β
Jones Carnell, a member of the team of agents assigned by the CAA to Russell, is also Russell's personal agent. He's only 26 years old, and Russell fits in well.
Carnell said: "TL;DR, if you want me to say, we should be grateful to have that guy in the way, otherwise you might be blackened by the media." You know, your draft is so hot that it's so newsworthy. β
Canel is smart, otherwise he wouldn't have become a member of CAA at such a young age. He knew that what kind of commentator was pure, Yi Feng had participated in the drug test in the joint training camp, if he had used doping, would he dare to take the drug test? I really don't know how this commentator's IQ became a special commentator.
But he didn't say it explicitly, because his employer Russell, during the physical test, faced Yi Feng and was deflated. If you directly find out the truth with him and say that Yi Feng's physical test data is real, isn't that a slap in the face of your employer?
Directly admit that your employer is not as good as a yellow person, do you still want this job?
So, he changed the subject.
But Canel did everything he could, but he couldn't do it after all.
βShitοΌ Thanks for the fart! If it weren't for that damn little white face, would I be so angry? If I'm not angry, will I refuse an interview with a reporter? That's a great opportunity to increase your exposure! β
βFuckοΌ Blame that damn sissy! You say I should thank him? I thank his whole family!! β
β¦β¦
Russell's team of agents has good PR skills.
Now the whole United States is talking about Yifeng's physical measurement data, so they are also using their brains on this.
Aren't you Yifeng in good physical fitness? Isn't it possible to run and jump? Our talented defender Russell will too!
So they found some media and released the news that Russell was not in good shape during the physical test of the joint training camp and did not show his true level. In fact, he also has a strong physical fitness, and in terms of bouncing, he is not inferior to the yellow man who doesn't know the truth or falsehood of the physical measurement data.
They claim Russell's run-up bounce reached a staggering 39 inches!
39 INCHES, THAT IS 99CM, ABOUT ONE METER OF BOUNCE! This is the level of bouncing that a top flyer possesses!
After the news was released, the onlookers who did not know the truth believed it. Especially after Yi Feng went out and crushed many American geniuses as a yellow race, the American imperialist people urgently needed a purebred American to stand up and fight back fiercely, so that they could raise their eyebrows.
At this time, Russell appeared in time. Even if he can't jump that high, the American imperialist people believe that he can jump that high. Because Russell at this time no longer simply represents himself. Behind him stood thousands of American imperialist people.
And the real fans, especially those who follow the NCAA, just laughed it off. Russell's physicality can be seen in his performances on the field. Compared with Yifeng's physical measurement data, it is not at the same level at all.
But if you see through it, you can't say it, after all, the elbow is not turned outward. The American imperialist people must actively safeguard the face of their world's only superpower and not allow the Chinese to steal the limelight.
Russell's agent team released the news before, and it was originally just a counterattack not to be outdone. But I didn't expect the effect to be so good, even the whole United States fought on their side. If you don't make good use of it at this time, it will be really a tyrannical thing.
So they continued to fight back, teaming up with some more influential media to concoct several news reports:
"I Am No.1"
The 2015 NBA Draft joint tryout kicked off today in Chicago with an interview with Ohio's freshman point guard D'Angelo Russell.
When asked who was the No. 1 rookie in this class, D'Angelo Russell was confident: "I, I think I'm the best rookie in this rookie, I'm the best college basketball player." Whether you ask me now, or if someone from an NBA team asks me in the future, I'm the answer. β
Russell responded to how he would defend a super point guard after he entered the league: "It's not a bother, they're going to defend me." β
"Outstanding Talent, Explosive Potential"
On May 11, 2015, the Chicago Draft joint training camp conducted a comprehensive physical test of all rookies.
NCAA talented guard D'Angelo Russell after participating in the static physical test of the joint tryout, his physical test data is as follows: 196CM tall with shoes, 87.7KG in weight, 208CM in arm span, and 259CM in standing touch.
Hard talents like height and reach don't slip away over time, but stay with an athlete throughout their careers. Russell's height is evident in the No. 1 position, and his arm play gives him a unique advantage defensively.
"He's our goal!" γ
On May 11, Central Time, an unnamed team executive said that the 76ers' draft target for this year's draft is D'Angelo Russell, a freshman guard from Ohio State.
"This guy is who they want," the executive said, "and that's the news from the league right now, you know the 76ers, they're not going to say it publicly, but this guy is who they want." β
The executive also added that to get Russell, the 76ers must guarantee the first two picks.
The 76ers, who are third from the bottom in the league this year, will ensure that they have a top-six pick with a 15.6 percent chance of getting the top pick.
In the executive's opinion, Kentucky interior lineman Karl Anthony Towns will be the top pick, followed by Russell, and Emmanuel Moodier and Jahir Okafor in third and fourth place, respectively.
"Russell has the temperament of a star." The executive said.
Russell is 1.96 meters tall, and in his freshman season, Russell averaged 33.9 minutes per game, contributing 19.3 points, 5.7 rebounds and 5.0 assists per game for Ohio University, and shooting 41.1% from three-point range.
In Ohio's 60-79 loss to the University of Louisville in February, five 76ers executives, including general manager Sam Cinki, were on the spot. In that game, Russell played 35 minutes and made 8 of 13 shots and made just one turnover. One person familiar with the matter said that game impressed the 76ers.
In addition, one scout and executive believes Russell is better prepared for the NBA than Moodier. Unless the 76ers are unhappy with Narlens Noel or Joel Embiid, they won't pick another interior player.
"Russell's Five Strengths to Ensure He Stays in the Top Three"
At 21 o'clock on the 11th Western time, Chris Wharton, a famous American basketball expert, wrote an article pointing out that D'Angelo Russell, a talented point guard from Ohio State University, can be firmly in the top three in this year's draft.
Good passing, strong long-range shooting, quick start, great potential, and not having much possession are the five advantages that allow Russell to ensure the top three picks.
Russell was already famous in high school. CBS Sports Network commented on him as having a very soft touch, which is a big improvement from high school. He's a very smart guard with an extremely wide passing vision, and if he enters the NBA, Russell is likely to be biased towards playing the No. 1 position, and his previous role on the college team is similar to that of Delon Williams in Illinois, and in fact he does have a lot of similarities with Delon Delon in fact.
"Russell is an efficient scorer, but he doesn't have to be on the premise of having too much ball. He has a good sense of pick-and-roll, is quick to start, and is a threat with a pull-up jumper. CBS Sports commented.
In the latest draft list of the authoritative draft website DraftExpress, Russell will be selected in third place in the first round.
Russell's counterattack is exactly what the US imperialist people are willing to see, and compared with the overwhelming doubts about Yi Feng, they have countless praises for Russell.
These reports, concocted by Russell's agent to the media, were quickly reprinted widely with the support of the American imperialist people.
All of a sudden, the whole United States briefly formed a confrontation between Yi Feng and Russell.
Half questioning, half praise; Hell on one side and heaven on the other.
