"March Madness" is a major event in the sports media, the top ten goals have been repeatedly broadcast on the sports channels of several TV stations, and Sun Yue's goal, which is at the top of the top ten goals, quickly stimulated heated discussions among the majority of fans, because this goal is so exciting.

"I have to say that the excitement of this goal was simply mesmerizing, I take off my hat for the skipper, I give it a perfect score, I think it's definitely the best shot of the season in the NCAA!" This must be a die-hard fan of Sun Yue.
"This Chinese Sun is like Bruce Lee, but I can rarely see such good Chinese playing ball, I thought they would only cook and work hard." A Chinese genius, which is rarer than a giant panda in the eyes of American fans. There has never been a Chinese star in the NCAA, and there are very few Chinese who can even play, let alone a genius. In the impression of American fans, they only know Yao Ming.
"Upstairs, have you forgotten Yao from the Houston Rockets?"
"Hey, don't you guys talk about his breakthrough skills? The process of shaking Villanueva is even more perfect than textbooks, you must know that Villanueva can be a big overlord in our New York Queens, and to shake Villanueva like this, skipper is definitely an ankle killer from the East! ”
"Guys, as a University of Michigan Wolverines fan, I would say that Skipper isn't really an offensive point guard, he's actually a very traditional point guard, he's very easy to pass, he's got a lot of passing awareness, he's good at timing it."
"It would be nice if this guy could join Phoenix."
"Hey man, you guys have Steve. Nash is still not satisfied, I think he is suitable for passing the ball to Kobe. ”
"Falk Los Angeles, let this Chinese guard come and pass the ball to our big Chinese man and play kung fu basketball?"
"I think he should come to San Antonio to be taught by Popovich."
As he spoke, netizens turned from a discussion about the goal to an endless battle. But it is undeniable that after their discussion and dissemination, Sun Yue's figure officially entered the field of vision of fans, and he began to be known not only in the top ten leagues, but also fans in the United States began to know Sun Yue.
In addition to the surprise of the American media and fans, the most shocked were the sports reporters stationed in the United States from major domestic media, who also did not expect that Leng Buding would emerge as a talented Chinese point guard like Sun Yue.
Especially when Sun Yue, as a pure Chinese, also played in Chinese clubs, which made the domestic sports media as busy as if they had discovered a new continent.
Sun Yue's fame also spread back to China, and in early 2005, when the NBA was showing a spark in Chinese mainland, as Yao Ming's performance in the Rockets got better and better, the domestic NBA fans almost multiplied in a geometric way, faintly threatening the position of the first sport in football.
Especially when the top ten goals were broadcast in the sports sections of Tencent and Sina, this wonderful goal also instantly detonated Sun Yue's popularity among Chinese basketball fans, and it was the first time for everyone to see that a Chinese guard could make such a beautiful move.
"Sun Yue will definitely be able to pass the ball to Yao Ming at the Beijing Olympics." A netizen on the famous basketball forum Tiger Pounce suddenly put forward such a point of view, which was instantly liked by other netizens and became a hot post, everyone recognized this point of view, and for a time the number of people who paid more attention to Sun Yue exceeded that of any NBA team.
After all, the 2008 Beijing Olympics were held in China, and for the Chinese national team, the position of point guard has always been a big problem, and there is often an embarrassment in the international arena when people are forced to get past half the court. Now there is a Chinese point guard who has performed so well in the NCAA league on the other side of the ocean, which has made Chinese fans begin to fall into the dream of the Chinese national basketball team punching the United States team and kicking the European team in the Beijing Olympics.
Sports media are all concerned about hot news, and the famous Sun Yue not only attracts heated discussions from Chinese and foreign fans, but also attracts the attention of sports media. The editors-in-chief of the major sports portals immediately sent out reporters stationed in the United States, and they all wanted to get the first news stories before their opponents
The editors-in-chief were quick to find detailed reports on U.S. sports portals about Sun Yue, who suddenly rose to No. 9 in DraftExpress' mock draft because of the live broadcast in the United States, a ranking that means Sun Yue is likely to be selected in the lottery.
Just when Sun Yue became famous, something unexpected happened to everyone.
At ten o'clock in the morning of March 26, 2005, Beijing Chaoshen Club suddenly held a press conference, and Li Rui, the owner of Beijing Chaoshen Club, issued an official statement at the press conference: Sun Yue, a player of the NCAA University of Michigan Wolverine, was a contracted player of Beijing Chaoshen Club, and was expelled from the team for violating team rules such as beating the team owner, often absent from training, and contacting other teams without permission. must first pay Sun Yue the liquidated damages of 3 million yuan (equivalent to 375,000 US dollars) to the Chaoshen Club.
This official statement from the Beijing Chaoshen Club instantly set off an uproar, and for a while, Chinese and foreign netizens launched fierce debates around Sun Yue on major forums, and all kinds of critical voices instantly drowned Sun Yue, what unruly and difficult to change; What thinks very highly of oneself and destroys one's future; There are also some people who speak for Sun Yue, but after all, they are a minority.
The breaking of this news made the management of the NBA team that was originally interested in Sun Yue also began to hesitate, the liquidated damages are only a small part of their hesitation, more than 300,000 US dollars is nothing to the NBA team, but Sun Yue's "bad deeds" of beating the team owner, often absent from training, and contacting other teams without permission made these managers frown. "Is Sun Yue a young genius or a problem teenager?" This has become the primary problem for all NBA teams that are interested in Sun Yue.
