After the game, Ji Liang received congratulations from many people, including O'Neal, Barkley, Olajuwon, Nowitzki, Popovich and many more.

Surprisingly, he also received a congratulatory call from David Stern, president of the league.

For Stern, after recognizing the downside of relying on one player, Stern began to build a diverse league culture in the hope of taking basketball to the international level.

The player that Stern relies on is naturally Jordan, and Jordan's two retirements have always led to a rapid regression of the league's influence.

Due to the shortened season, coupled with Jordan's second retirement, the league's influence is not as good as it used to be.

To regain its influence as soon as possible, the league must bring in heavyweight superstars, so his focus is on O'Neal, Grant Hill, Iverson, Duncan and others.

Of course, Chi Liang also became an alternate.

There is no doubt that Chi Liang is very much in line with his needs, and what satisfies him the most is that Chi Liang does not have much off-site news, but he has enough topicality, such as the appointment with Ma Long and so on.

As for the conflict with Garnett, it was purely because Garnett's mouth was not tight enough, so naturally there was no problem.

This time, he got the exaggerated data of quasi-quadruple doubles and triple doubles +5×5, which made Chi Liang the darling of the media again, and many media narrated the game in an exaggerated tone, and even praised Chi Liang to the sky.

With the momentum of the media and the alliance, Chi Liang's fame grew rapidly in a snowballing manner, allowing many people to reacquaint themselves with Chi Liang.

At the same time, a huge eyeball effect began to show, and countless manufacturers began to contact Bill Duffy and invite Chi Liang to be their spokesperson.

Because Chi Liang signed a sneaker contract with Nike, this also caused Adidas, Reebok and other sneaker companies to regret it very much, they had the opportunity to win this amazing rookie, but in the end they missed it.

If they had increased their chips and taken a risk, maybe Chi Liang would have been able to join them, and the sales of sneakers could be imagined.

Unlike Adidas and Reebok, Nike, which has reached a cooperation, is naturally overjoyed, and they began to increase their efforts to sign sneakers, striving to launch Chi Liang's contracted sneakers as soon as possible.

Although it has not yet come to the Internet age, the eyeball economy has emerged, and with the help of many print and television media, it is easier for players to win eyeballs.

Similarly, the strength, reputation and influence of the player are also the main factors for manufacturers to choose players.

On the second day after the game, the impact of the game was thrown in the continued fermentation.

Under the team's arrangement, Ji Liang was interviewed by Nugglove, the mouthpiece of Nuggets.

Not only that, but the official TV station of the alliance even did an exclusive interview for him.

In addition, many national media, such as "The New York Times", "USA Today", etc., and even the "Los Angeles Times", which is not against Chi Liang, have joined the ranks of interviews.

Due to the fact that there were too many media interviews, Chi Liang had to maintain training and competitions, and did not have much free time, so Bill Duffy politely turned them down.

No one dares to offend the media easily, especially the national media, so the media is very confident, but for Chi Liang, who is in the limelight, the media do not dare to offend easily.

After this game, the Nuggets will have no time to rest and will travel to Minnesota to challenge the Timberwolves back-to-back.

In the shrinking season, this is also the norm for all teams, there is no way, the schedule is too dense, and many veteran players feel unbearable.

After coming to Minnesota, it was already the morning of the next day, and after lying in bed, Chi Liang fell into a deep sleep.

It wasn't until noon that Chi Liang finally came to his senses, stretched his waist, and felt lazy all over his body.

After washing, Ji Liang did not leave the room, and due to back-to-back relationships, D'Antoni did not call the players to train and keep the players in good shape.

Soon, the waiter delivered the meal to the room, and according to Chi Liang's eyeballs, there were several newspapers in it.

After the waiter left, Chi Liang spread out the newspaper while eating, admiring the praise of the media.

Yesterday's game naturally became the focus of the media.

"Quasi-quadruple doubles, triple doubles + 5×5, what else can stop him" – The New York Times

"Super Rookie Breaks NBA Record Created by Himself" - nugglove

"He's going to be a superstar" – USA Today

The Next Big O? —The Chicago Times

……

All the newspapers have focused on the headlines, at least the sports headlines, and there are quite a few front-page headlines.

No way, Chi Liang's data is too shocking, in terms of difficulty and meaning, it is no less than the four pairs of data.

The NBA is a huge database, and the better the data, the more impactful it will be, and the more attention it will get.

The content of these newspapers focused on Ji Liang's performance, believing that it was a phenomenal performance that could go down in the history of the league.

In addition, for Chi Liang did not get four pairs, Big Multimedia regrets this, otherwise the influence will definitely be raised to a higher level.

USA Today believes that Ji Liang is now a star, and as long as he continues to perform like this, he will be able to become a superstar in the league after two or three seasons.

Of course, if Ji Liang keeps improving, he can shorten the process.

As for the Chicago Times report, the main focus is on Chi Liang's data.

Compared with before, Ji Liang's average data per game has increased slightly, and he can average 21.1 points, 10.6 assists, 7.8 rebounds, 2.9 steals and 2 blocks per game.

After the analysis, the Chicago Times compared him to the Big O.

The big O is Oscar Robertson, the NBA's most famous triple-double king, who averaged a triple-double throughout the season in the 1961-62 season. He was also the only superstar to have snatched an MVP in the '60s, when Wilt Chamberlain and Bill Russell monopolized MVPs, and was inducted into the Nai Smith Basketball Memorial and the NBA's Top 50 Superstars.

Big O is undoubtedly a superstar, with perverted stats of 30.5 points, 10.1 rebounds and 9.7 assists in his rookie season.

Statistically, Robertson is more perverted than Ji Liang, but he also plays more minutes, averaging 42.7 minutes per game.

In addition, it was also his rookie season, Ji Liang had more assists, and his shooting and free throw shooting percentages were better than those of Big O.

The most important thing is that the period when Big O was active was the sixties, when the level of basketball was naturally not as good as in modern times, and the data had a lot of moisture.

can be compared with Big O, even if it is only a rookie season, but this is also the biggest recognition of Chi Liang.

After reading the newspaper, Ji Liang was in a much better mood, and his original fatigue seemed to be swept away, and he began to prepare for the evening game.
