Chapter 440: The Mystery of My Cousin!
Breaking records in a row!
"Cousin is crazy!"
After the Battle of Washington, Gu Yu's name once again appeared in the sports media of the United States and even the world.
Back-to-back games, back-to-back Eastern Conference opponents, although Orlando and Washington, this season, are not strong teams, and even make the playoffs enough. But fans familiar with the NBA know that this season's Magic and Wizards are both teams with outside defensive elites.
Needless to say, the duo of Wall and Beal of the Wizards is familiar to everyone. Wall's super physicality, defensive intensity, defensive ability, and Beal's aggressive style of play are an extremely demanding test for the opponent's backcourt. Not only did he have to find a way to break down Wall's ten-finger barrier on the offensive end, but he also had to face the constant offensive pressure brought by Beal on the defensive end, and it was much more difficult than imagined to score high points in front of these two.
On the Magic side, although the first center Howard has been lost, his strength has been greatly damaged, and he is almost at the bottom level this season. But Nelson, a master of chaos on the outside, is sharp and unreasonable in attack, and it takes extremely hard work to defend him, and he belongs to the kind of ruthless character who will be shot in the face by him if you are not careful.
Another backcourt titan Afflalo, perhaps some fans don't know too well, only know that he is a 3-and-D player who has a brush for offense and defense.
In fact, Afflalo's offense has reached a new peak of its own this season, averaging 16.5 points per game, which is already a good performance in the league's declining No. 2 position. It's not just about catch-and-shoot shots. This season's Afflalo has a very reliable singles ability.
Coupled with the iron-blooded defense he previously cultivated with the Pistons, as well as the indiscriminate backcourt defensive ability he developed with the Nuggets as the team's only outside defender, his defensive skills are also very good. You have a tough confrontation with him, this famous tough guy will not be false at all, even if your statistics exceed him, you will be beaten off a layer of skin by his unsparing offense and defense on the field.
"Cousin Gu Yu, it is in front of such two groups of opponents that he has made wonderful performances in a row. Within 24 hours, back-to-back, my cousin first bombed indiscriminately and completely overturned the Orlando backcourt double. Then he rushed to Washington non-stop and single-handedly destroyed the league's rising stars Wall and Bill. ”
ESPN TV, Studios.
A host, who is familiar to many NBA fans, is facing the camera and talking about the opening remarks of this episode.
"Back-to-back 50+ in a row, and the two games combined for more than 100 points. Cousin Gu Yu, what kind of magic did he use and what magical powers did he use to accomplish such a feat that shocked the world? Why did he break the individual single-game scoring record for six arenas in the league before the season was even over? Today, our "Sports Science" column is going to take you to find out! ”
"Sports Science", known by many fans as one of the ESPN ace columns of "Sports Metaphysics", the famous American host John Blakes, in front of the camera to talk about various data seriously, is one of the fans' favorite scenes.
Although this show is somewhat sensational, for the sake of publicity and program effect, there is a suspicion of exaggerated interpretation of some of the test data of the players. But the show itself is short and concise, well-made, and the technical interpretation angle of some hot characters is also quite innovative, and there are still a lot of highlights.
What's more, the style of "only data speaks" in the "Sports Science" column is deeply loved by fans and critics in the North American sports circle who are heavily poisoned by data, and this show can be regarded as enduring and has always had its own audience.
So even if everyone scoffs at some of the statements in the show, the show itself is still very influential.
As we all know, in North America, especially in the United States, although the NBA is also one of the four major sports leagues, the revenue created, especially in the world, is quite good. But in Lao Mei's mind, the NFL, MLB and other leagues, BA focuses on worldwide promotion, which can be regarded as a helpless move - no way, it can't compare with other leagues in China!
Today, the guest invited to the studio is Gu Yu, a topic figure who has been wildly discussed and compared to many historical gods in the entire North American sports circle recently.
"Gu, let's make a stop-and-go jump shot first!"
The staff installed all kinds of equipment on Gu Yu's body, the world's top sports science equipment, turning Gu Yu's into a sports geek in the new era, looking quite a sense of time-traveling.
"I feel like my activities are a little restricted!"
Gu Yu waved his arms, simulating the movements of playing ball, his brows furrowed, and finally turned around and glanced at the staff.
With a "whoosh", an NBA game-specific basketball was passed over.
"Let's try it first! Everyone tests it like this, and there will be a little deviation in the data, but we will do post-calculations to offset these effects! ”
The staff were very conscientious, looking at Gu Yu to find their feelings, and at the same time eliminating the doubts in Gu Yu's hearts.
Hum.
Not far away, after recording a few opening remarks, Blakes, the host who finally found the best feeling and set the opening remarks clip, turned around and looked at Gu Yu's movements, his nose moved slightly, and the corners of his mouth twitched down with disdain.
Chinese.
Another Chinese.
"Bang bang bang...... Swish! ”
Gu Yu hit a jump shot, and his movements were so elegant that his heart wanted to stop, but he still went to communicate with the staff, talking about how much trouble these sensors on his body had caused him.
As soon as Brooks saw Gu Yu's appearance, his heart became angry for no reason.
Our "Sports Science" column is also one of ESPN's trump card columns, right? It's not a pillar, but at least it's an old brand, and it's not just anyone who can get on it, right??
Originally, basketball is not the most mainstream and popular sport in the United States, and every time a basketball player comes to participate in the show, our ratings will be affected to a certain extent and decline.
For this matter, how many times have I mentioned it to the leader, please invite more football stars in the future, whether it is baseball or not, everyone loves to watch, we can do our work comfortably, kill two birds with one stone, why not??
The result?
Damn the leader was blind and said something like "the NBA is now the most important territory for foreign cultural export among the four major sports leagues in the United States", "you can't just stare at our own ratings report, you have to look at the changes in the degree of dissemination of the show on the Internet and around the world", completely ignoring my proposal, or insisting on going its own way, calling these brainless basketball players one after another.
Yes, that's right, basketball-related programs and videos are indeed very popular around the world, more popular than football, baseball, and ice hockey.
But the problem is that my performance bonus, I only look at the ratings, and I don't look at the degree of communication!
If you invite a basketball player, the TV station is happy, the popularity rises, the dissemination rises, and the advertisers like it.
But what about me??
My income, who will guarantee it?
“…… Bang! ”
"Good Ball !!"
"Where, where, hahahaha!!"
Gu Yu's test has begun, and after the shooting session is over, the dunk test begins.
Looking at Gu Yu's reluctant posture, Brecks' heart was even more unpleasant.
Tut-tut, just this little slam dunk three-legged cat kung fu, and I'm embarrassed to show off in front of the TV camera??
Do you know who we've been here? How many dunk masters want to come to our show, and we are not uncommon to say yes, do you know???
If you can only shoot, you can shoot me well, don't show me your lame dunk, okay?!!
And these garbage workers, you all applaud this kind of dunk?? Is it good-looking? Interesting? The sycophants are so obvious, isn't this our own brand??
Moreover, why do we Americans want to shoot a Chinese sycophant?!!
Well, it's not hard to understand.
After all, one-third of the nerds in the program team who are responsible for data research and analysis are Asian.
Asian, Chinese.
Isn't that synonymous with nerds?
Yes, the Chinese!
Blakes still remembers how resistant he was when the program team first decided to invite Chinese player Yao Ming to the studio.
Stupid big one, thin and slow, doesn't he just grow taller and shoot accurately? What's the big deal? Can you beat our O'Neill?
After that, the Chinese that Blakes least wanted to see did not disappear from the studio of "Sports Science".
After Yao Ming, Chen Mu came, a Chinese, the American basketball pride James pressed on the honor of the head, it is simply a shame!
After that, finally Chen Mu's craze began to dissipate a little, and people felt aesthetic fatigue of his strength.
Another arrogant hairstyle brother!
Isn't that funny?!
In order to open up the Chinese market, our dignified ESPN has been so low?
“…… Swish! ”
"Good! Call it a day!!!! ”
It's finally over ......!
"Haha, hard work, hard work, cousin hard work!"
Cursing in his heart, but Blakes was a fine man, but he didn't show it on the surface, with a professional smile, he came to Gu Yu in a few steps, stretched out his hand and said, "I'm still a little unaccustomed to it, right?" It's okay, it's okay, after our later data comes out, you will know that today's hard work is worth it! ”
"Haha, don't blow it."
Who knows, Gu Yu opened his mouth to tell the truth, and high-fived Brooks and said, "It's all for the effect of the show, I understand!" In vain! ”
After speaking, Gu Yu turned around and left.
…… You're paralyzed!!
Blakes really wanted to go and wash his hands and disinfect his hands right away, and get rid of all the traces of this arrogant Chinese.
Stupid than one, I really think I'm a character, bah!
Lao Tzu has seen more big names, you are old......
"John ......!"
"What!"
Turning back impatiently, Blakes was still scolding Gu Yu in his heart, but when he saw the expressions of the nerds in the scientific research group, he was stunned.
Nerds, it seems that they are really completely dumbfounded.
"You look at this data...... It's a bit ......."
One of the nerds lifted his glasses, trembled his lips and said, "It's a bit exaggerated......!" ”
