Gao Tianzuo is the producer of CCTV's sports channel's "Basketball Park" column.

He is a person with experience in the United States, so he deeply knows what an amazing achievement Li Zhen has achieved as a guard in the NBA.

But... Obviously, there are a large number of people in the sports circle in China who misjudged.

Even, Li Zhen's success has made many basketball players and many basketball association officials have unrealistic illusions, they feel that since Li Zhen can sit firmly in the United States, then Chen Jianghua and other rookie guards can also do it, as for Yi Jianlian, a superstar with high hopes, they even feel that they can achieve achievements beyond Yao Shu.

They think too low of the NBA.

Therefore, most of the current domestic basketball reports are reporting on newcomers from various clubs and encouraging them to hit the NBA. Some leaders of the Basketball Association even claimed in private: Before the 08 Olympic Games, we can have five to eight Chinese players go to the NBA for further study.

That's too light.

made Li Zhen also lose his attention.

Coupled with the conservative cultural atmosphere, Li Zhen has not been able to enter the country with a lot of news, resulting in his influence in China has never gone up, but he is very well-known. As a result, his sneaker sales figures were tepid, far below previous estimates.

When Gao Tianzuo shook his head at this situation, when he had a headache for the material for the upcoming May Day special.

The distant American side suddenly sent a 90-minute video footage.

Moreover, the reporter named Duan Ping also claimed very arbitrarily on the phone: "This is a top-secret interview that has changed the perception of the NBA among domestic audiences." There is no one in China who is closer to the NBA than we are in this interview. You may not imagine Lee's status in the New York team, and he gave us the green light to walk all the way through Madison Garden. Trust me, it's going to be the most powerful story of the summer. ”

At first, Gao Tianzuo felt that the expatriate reporter was elevating himself in the hope of getting attention.

But when he opened the video.

After watching it for less than 2 minutes, he was stunned.

When he saw it, Li Zhen appeared in the picture with a smile on his face, and then called Isaiah Thomas and Donnie Walsh in front of the camera, telling them that they would arrange a reporter to conduct a personal interview next.

He smelled great newsworthiness.

Subsequently... The Knicks' ridicule of Li Zhen also made him affectionate, and it turned out that these big stars on TV would also gossip. Although these contents will be cut later, this immersive picture has already brought him infinite visual impact.

And then ...... When the Knicks players came on the court, the whole audience shouted Li Zhen's nickname, Gao Tianzuo felt the shock and pride from all over the world.

He was a man who had been abroad, and he knew that the foreigners had a sense of superiority behind hypocrisy, and that they would not have been able to make such a prostrationly voice if they had not been truly subjugated.

To be honest, when Li Zhen stepped towards the court, Gao Tianzuo's eyes were even a little moist.

Then, to his surprise, the camera was focused on the bench. He heard the Knicks talking about Li Zhen on the bench, and he noticed the Knicks' internal respect for Li Zhen from the conversation.

And then... It was Lee Jin's speech that won the best rookie.

And then... When Li Zhen was in a boiling arena again, he left early to train silently.

This is very much in line with the values of the Chinese, whether it is Tao Yuanming's planting beans and seeing the South Mountain leisurely, or Li Bai's affairs to hide his merits and fame, the Chinese have always had a humble and bitter hermit style.

At the same time, Li Zhen's hard work and tenacious training give the ultimate answer to why Li Zhen can gain a foothold in the NBA.

This video is so well shot.

Gao Tianzuo sighed from the bottom of his heart.

In the last shot, when the radio was playing the American VJ's praise for Li Zhen's most beautiful words, Li Zhen leaned on the passenger seat and quietly looked out the window at the player's lights.

"What a beautiful set of cinematic language."

Gao Tianzuo barely hesitated.

He decided on the spot: "Clip! The name of the May Day special program is also available, and it is called 'The Story Behind the 4:0 Sweep of the Best Rookie Below'. ”

After he decided about it, he received a call from North America.

The North American supervisor on the phone was aggressive and asked him to go to the leader to punish Duan Ping, because he didn't cooperate with his work, and he didn't go to Orlando to follow the popular rookie Yi Jianlian, but followed and filmed Li Zhen.

However, Gao Tianzuo told him very gently: "No, we have decided to report on Li Zhen for a long time now." Yi Jianlian's side, we will arrange new reporters. And, what's the urgency now? There is still a long time left in the draft, and didn't Yi Jianlian's American agent say that he will not go to any team for a tryout? ”

This led the North American executive to take the complaint to a higher-level leader.

However, Gao Tianzuo, who has been a turtle with a shrunken head for more than ten years, is finally brave this time: "If there is a mistake, I will bear all the consequences." ”

The leader stopped talking.

This is often the case within the system, as long as someone has the courage to take the blame, in principle, anything can be done.

……

As Gao Tianzuo expected, this immersive report quickly detonated on the first night of the May Day holiday, and countless basketball fans turned on the TV at half past eight in the evening to see this special program.

Before, most people only watched the game broadcast on TV, although the commentator will specifically mention Li Zhen as a Chinese player in the broadcast, but there are few other related follow-up reports, plus Li Zhen's personal data is far from Kobe, Wade, Maddy, James and other super guards, so everyone knows less about him.

And tonight's episode of the show shows fans a more real NBA, as well as Li Zhen's amazing influence in the United States.

They never imagined that before the start of the game, more than 20,000 people would chant the nickname of a Chinese player in unison.

Then, those NBA players who seemed unruly to brag about Li Zhen in the bench discussion, and the words were full of affirmation.

And then... He actually won the best rookie.

This is a trophy that Yao Shu didn't even get.

Moreover, his award words are too cool, right?

Li Zhen actually walked into the training hall when the audience was cheering for victory, and trained diligently for two hours. It's really a character like Li Bai.

As Gao Tianzuo felt, the beautiful movie shot at the end brought a far-reaching impact to everyone. The first time they saw a star in an intimate scene, it turned out that Lee was really so attractive.

This episode of the show exploded.

Ratings and word-of-mouth are flying.

Li Zhen's name has skyrocketed on the still barren Chinese Internet, and more and more people want to know more of Li Zhen's story.

At the same time, the servers of a basketball forum called hoop were also congested.

This is a small basketball forum, founded by a foreign student, not for profit.

There are many people who are proficient in various basketball knowledge, and there are many international students, who often translate various basketball reports from abroad, as well as analysis articles by basketball experts.

In an era when not everyone in China has access to the Internet, a relatively elite basketball culture has formed here.

This kind of elite culture makes some big IDs who have the right to speak naturally look up to the top, and even look down on those ordinary fans who watch CCTV or Basketball Herald every day.

Moreover, some of them deliberately show rebellion against the authority of the mainstream media. often translates some foreign articles, and uses all kinds of seemingly detailed information to black Yao Shu, saying that he is just a tall man, occupying a large proportion of the ball, and the real level is Kwame Brown and the like.

The most famous of these IDs is 'Chang'an Blossom'.

It can be said that Hei Yao has been blackened to the extreme.

Although Li Zhen's sunspots are not as many as Yao Shu, he also has a top-level Li Hei, a guy named 'Zhou Gongzi Chun Shenjun' has carried out all kinds of blacks since Li Zhen entered the NBA, either bright or dark, or directly satirical, or secretly sarcastic, showing the breadth and profundity of Chinese characters at a glance.

'Bruce-Tofu-Lee', 'The worst single-season assist second player ever', 'Giving the ball to Li Zhen at a critical moment is like asking a sanitation worker to take a lighter to ignite an aviation rocket''The biggest meaning of Li Zhen's existence is to let Hollywood female stars who have no filming have a job to do' 'The probability of the Knicks entering the second round is exactly the same as the probability of my grandmother climbing the twentieth floor in one go''The Knicks' behavior of trading Li Zhen is like scraping off the coating, seeing a re-word, happily, and the result continues to scrape down, But it's to buy another bottle of "......".

These are the classic remarks left by Zhou Gongzi in HOOP. It can be seen that he was deeply influenced by his idol, the famous ESPN commentator Bill Simmons. Bill Simmons's yin-yang man's practice of adding spaces to his name was perfectly brought to China.

And as we all know, Bill Simmons is famous for Lee Black.

Therefore, it is unknown whether this Zhou Gongzi is really Hei Li, or whether he looks at the idol Hei Li so he wants to follow the black wave.

However, with the explosion of the show Basketball Park.

More and more fans saw a different Li Zhen than what was described on the forum, and they began to question it.

"Zhou Gongzi, didn't you say that the Knicks will never make it to the second round? How do you sweep the Raptors now? ”

"Chun Shenjun, Li Zhen has won the best rookie. Your Brandon Roy is empty-handed, doesn't make the playoffs, and doesn't win any awards. ”

"Zhou Gongzi, what do you think of the news that Li Zhen practiced for 2 hours after the game. Didn't you say that Li Zhen was a female star all day long? ”

"Gongzi Zhou, what does it mean for the Knicks to sweep into the second round?"

"Chun Shenjun, why didn't Yao Shu win the best rookie ...... that year"

“……”

For a moment, the forum was filled with a joyful atmosphere.

But Chun Shenjun is obviously extremely disgusted by the cynicism of this 'pseudo-fan', he has the nobility of a high-level intellectual, and he thinks that these mediocre masses of the people are ignorant and ignorant. Can those basketball experts in the United States be wrong? I'm reading English literature, what do you mud-legged people know?

So, I wrote a line of words.

"Poor fellow, this is the pose of the fools. Serious people, who train muscles in front of the camera? Regarding Bruce Tofu Lee winning Rookie of the Year, all I can say is that the worst 20+10 winner in NBA history played a crucial role in defending Brandon Roy, and without him, Roy would not have had a suspense to win Rookie of the Year. On why did the Knicks make the cut? Don't you know that Chris Bosh is reimbursed for the season? Without the No. 1 power forward of the Super Platinum generation, the Knicks won't be able to win! ”

More comments soon poured in below this post.

"Chris Bosh didn't get reimbursed for the first two games, but the Knicks still won two home games."

"Didn't you say that TJ Ford could blow Lee Zhen into slag?"

"Transfer salary, transfer salary, you can tell me the story of Li Zhen vs. the wealthy wolf girl Paris Hilton."

"Last time, you said that Hillary Duff is Irene, Lindsay Lohan is the Blue Phoenix, Sister Olsen is the junior sister, and Anne Hathaway is the Holy Aunt...... You can tell the story of the big brother vs. the female devil twice......"

"Childe, Childe, do you think the Knicks can still win this year? The next round is very likely to be against the Pistons......"

“……”

On the other side of the ocean, Wang Shoudao looked at the posts in this forum.

He couldn't help but shake his head again and again, and said in his heart: Bill Duffy did too badly. Allowed these sunspots to run amok?

It is no wonder that Li Zhen's influence in China has not been able to develop for a long time. The official media and mainstream media only report in excerpts, and these professional basketball forums have a group of self-righteous senior fans copying the sunspot articles on the American side, can they become popular?

Yao Shu's side at least the official media took the place to death.

We're angry at both ends.

Fortunately, Duan Ping's immersive interview played an unexpected role, and he received some new commercial endorsement offers in his mailbox very quickly.

"I'm a genius."

Wang Shoudao got up and stretched.

He decided to arrange another in-depth trip back home in the summer. At least let you see... What is the living Lee really like.

When he walked to the living room, Li Zhen was still doing intense HIT training there, he seemed to be tireless, and he was covered in sweat.

"If nothing else, the Knicks' next round opponent is the Detroit Pistons." He told Lee Jin: "Now we are playing the fifth game. In this series, even Jason Kidd was cleaned up by Billups and Hamilton. So, I don't think you need to put too much psychological pressure on yourself. Actually, Knicks fans can understand you very well. ”

However, Li Zhen did not respond to him.

Still doing jumping jacks intensely.

He tried to make his sweat secrete as quickly as possible.

Because... He felt a strong loosening of positive energy, and he realized that he was very, very close to irrigating the talent space.

Although the world knows that Billups, the Finals MVP, is not an idle man, far from being comparable to TJ Ford and Jose Calderon.

But not fighting at all, just lying flat and admitting defeat is not Li Zhen's style.

His pride comes from his refusal to accept defeat.

No matter how tough the opponent is.
