Chapter 202: The price has risen
Undoubtedly, Ding Mo'an is their biggest savior!
One word can take them from hell to heaven. And now, because of the efforts of Ding Mo'an, the boss of the team, public opinion has made the news about the two of them disappear, and no one mentions it anymore. In addition, this is a team infighting, and it is not a fight on the field, and no one is involved.
So with the protection of Ding Mo'an, the matter between Milicic and Batum can be regarded as exposed. It may be seen by others as just one less talking point, but for Milicic and Batum, it is to save their careers and avoid being labeled as bad.
Therefore, they were deeply grateful to Ding Mo'an, and when they heard Ding Mo'an's invitation, they agreed without hesitation, put down the matter at hand, and agreed.
At seven o'clock in the evening, a self-catering party was being held in a courtyard in Memphis. Dozens of waiters are already ready to arrive, waiting for the arrival of guests. Among them, there are tall and beautiful male and female waiters, holding a few glasses of red wine or champagne on a wine tray, walking through the courtyard.
At first, Ding Mo'an was a little hesitant about whether he should drink at his party, after all, it is taboo for professional players to drink. But in the end, Uncle Zhang told himself that it was okay for professional players to drink, and Ding Mo'an realized that he seemed to have misunderstood the concept of drinking.
Of course, professional players can drink alcohol, but they can't drink strong alcohol or drink too much, otherwise drinking alcohol will damage their body. It is a reason to drink and enjoy in China, and it is a reason to hurt your body by drinking. After all, professional players are also human beings, and they are not monks, quit drinking and sexuality. So in the end, Ding Moan chose red wine and champagne.
These two types of alcohol are common throughout the sports world and even in the NBA. Whether it's Kobe, Jordan or even LeBron of the stalwarts generation. James and Wade usually carry a glass of red wine in their hands when they are interviewed by TV leisure classes. Champagne, on the other hand, is more often used to celebrate victory after winning a championship.
And it didn't take long for Milicic and Batum, who were the first to arrive, no, to arrive at the same time. Now, if you want to say that in the team, the two people who are most desperate for Ding Mo'an are undoubtedly these two, after all, without Ding Mo'an, it may be difficult for them to stay in the team. In this way, there are inexplicably two more loyal brothers.
Ding Mo'an, who was already standing at the door to greet them, naturally smiled and handed over two glasses of wine from the waiter next to him, and then brought wine glasses to himself and Zhang Kexin, who was accompanying him, clinking glasses and saying, "Have a good time tonight!" ”
After coming to the United States for half a year, Ding Mo'an also knew these party etiquette, and Milicic and Batum also clinked glasses. After taking a sip, Milicic excitedly took out his mobile phone and motioned for the four of them to take a group photo. In this regard, Ding Mo'an was also very cooperative, hugging Zhang Kexin, and the two of them put their faces together.
Sprinkled a dog treat on Milicic and Batum, who were standing in front of him and gesturing to Yah. When everyone had their expressions, Milisi also quickly pressed the shutter without hesitation, after all, single dogs need to be cared for. And after taking a group photo, Milicic did not stop his movements, operating his mobile phone and saying to Zhang Kexin and Batum on the side: "Let's upload it to Twitter together, and then follow each other?" ”
"No problem!"
"Okay!"
Zhang Kexin and Batum also have Twitter, which is comparable to today's domestic QQ and Weibo social software abroad. And Milicic, who got the reply from the two, also turned his head to ask Ding Mo'an, but all he got was Ding Mo'an's embarrassed look. Ding Mo'an knew that Milicic was going to tweet, but Twitter seemed to be something he hadn't opened yet.
Previously, I actually thought about opening a social software, but with the more important things such as the NCAA finals and the draft, I completely forgot to open Twitter. Milicic and Batum were surprised. With Ding Mo'an's current strength and fame, it is obviously incredible that he has not opened Twitter.
You must know that there are very few superstars of Ding Mo'an's status who don't open Twitter, and they can't even find one. On the side, Milicic couldn't help swallowing his saliva, looked at his pitiful fans, and hit Ding Mo'an with his idea, because there was a great opportunity right now.
How popular is Ding Mo'an?
This is a question that can be blurted out without the slightest thought: superstar! Superstar!
And the number of Ding Mo'an's fans in the United States has also shattered many people's glasses, and now the growth rate of fans is far ahead of the rookies of the same period, not to mention, and even comparable to some small city stars. This is a terrifying growth rate, Ding Mo'an only spent half a year to accumulate in the American basketball world, and he is on a par with small city stars who have at least six or seven years.
How can it not be scary?
So it's understandable that Milicic hit Ding Mo'an with the idea, and he got the skill of hugging his thighs to max.
"Boss, why don't you start Twitter now?"
Milicic immediately looked at Ding Mo'an with a flattering smile and expectantly, and the number of his fans depended on Ding Mo'an's thigh.
Ding Mo'an did not refuse. The reason is that he originally planned to open social software, after all, he is not a wild man in the mountains, and he can't even surf the Internet. Besides, opening Twitter is also a good way to attract followers. You can make your fans closer to your idol.
Anything that is beneficial and harmless, Ding Mo'an will not refuse.
It's very simple to open Twitter, and Ding Mo'an opened and verified Twitter after a while. Presumably, when the Twitter staff saw their application for certification, they rushed to pass it. That's for sure, Ding Mo'an's current fame is enough to enjoy these small privileges.
And when Ding Mo'an's Twitter was opened, Twitter did not forget to give Ding Mo'an a small wave of publicity. The entry of a celebrity into Twitter is naturally a thing that makes Twitter a big book. So, without Ding Mo'an's knowledge, the news of Ding Mo'an's opening of Twitter also swept the most popular social software in the United States.
Ding Mo'an opened Twitter!
This news immediately made all Ding Mo'an's fans ecstatic. They have been looking forward to this day for too long, and some fans are eager to drag Ding Mo'an to open Twitter. And himself, Ding Mo'an is not a flamboyant person in his daily life, and he is extremely low-key.
This also led to many fans being very curious about Ding Mo'an outside the arena. Today, that curiosity has finally been satisfied. Suddenly, Ding Mo'an's fans all over the United States were on Ding Mo'an's Twitter homepage as soon as Twitter pushed Ding Mo'an to join Twitter.
And Ding Mo'an's first news is a four-person photo with Milicic, Batum and his girlfriend Zhang Kexin: team party!
There's nothing wrong with this tweet. After all, team parties are common in all sports teams. However, the female fans of Ding Mo'an's fans were stunned when they saw Zhang Kexin, who was taking a photo with Ding Mo'an's face in this Twitter photo. The intimacy in the photo of Ding Mo'an and Zhang Kexin, even if you are stupid, you can see what kind of relationship the two have.
And the relationship between Zhang Kexin and Ding Mo'an is also about to come out - a real girlfriend!
Suddenly, a group of female fans cried. Ding Mo'an can be described as the dream lover of these female fans, Prince Charming. Suddenly Ding Mo'an has a girlfriend, which is undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for them. However, this did not make them turn black in anger, after all, Ding Mo'an is a likable idol in terms of personality and appearance.
Therefore, the vast majority of female fans are sending blessings. And as more and more people learned that Ding Mo'an had opened Twitter, the number of views, likes, comments, and retweets of Ding Mo'an's first tweet immediately came to the level that ordinary players such as Milicic who had already opened the promotion license for many years should look up to.
Subsequently, Ding Mo'an's Twitter followers also rose. After a while, it exceeded 100,000 and touched the threshold of 200,000. This data is put on domestic Weibo, and it may only be the number of fans of a small blogger on Weibo. But this is Twitter, in foreign countries with less series. Although Twitter is popular, there are few foreigners, and it is definitely not as rich as the motherland and its 1.3 billion compatriots.
Nowadays, the highest number of Twitter followers is only one or two million, and in the NBA, the highest number of Twitter followers today, LeBron . James 2.2 million. Followed by Dwight. Howard, the big boy, 1.9 million, followed by Wade 1.8 million. Others, such as Kobe Bryant and Jordan, have never opened Twitter.
After all, social software such as Twitter is currently only popular among the younger generation. For example, Maddy has not been opened, so the Twitter army in the NBA is only young or mid-generation star players. Therefore, Ding Mo'an only opened Twitter for one hour, and he had almost 200,000 followers, which also shocked everyone.
In one hour, there are nearly 200,000 fans, and if you give Ding Mo'an a day, a week, or a month, wouldn't the fans surpass LeBron. James and other equally young generations have become the best of NBA stars? On the side, Milicic, who had been staring at the screen of his mobile phone and observing the number of Ding Mo'an's fans, immediately smiled.
Regarding the number of Ding Mo'an's fans, the most beneficial one is undoubtedly Milicic. Now Ding Mo'an, a superstar, has nearly 200,000 followers within one hour of his opening, which is enough to determine that Ding Mo'an will be the leader of the NBA in Twitter in the future. And after hugging this thigh, the benefits of Milicic can be imagined.
And Ding Mo'an stopped paying attention to these after tweeting. After all, tonight's focus is on the team party. As the agreed time came, a group of Grizzlies teammates and coaches were also invited. Everyone attaches great importance to the party held by Ding Mo'an, the boss of the team.
Late?
Suddenly not coming?
No one is going to die and provoke the boss of the team.
So when a group of teammates and coaches get together, the party becomes lively. Even teammates who don't usually know each other well clinked glasses with each other at this time, chatting hotly. That's what a party is all about, because you can't just get together and have a good chat during training or a game.
Otherwise, what awaits you is a reprimand from the coach. Can team training and games be equated with child's play? Of course not, so the party provides a venue and atmosphere for everyone to communicate. Overall, it can be regarded as achieving Ding Mo'an's expected effect, everyone is usually colleagues, but mutual understanding is essential.
Compared with other professions, athletes are also team sports such as basketball and football, and the requirements for tacit understanding are very high. Therefore, it is also equivalent to accelerating the integration between the Grizzlies, a newly formed rebuilding team. And with the end of this party, the Grizzlies also ushered in next week's game day after a day of rest.
Last week's Grizzlies recorded two wins and one loss, giving everyone a new perspective on this youth team. The voices that are not optimistic about the grizzly bear are also becoming smaller and weaker. No one will think that the Grizzlies are a weak team that can only repeat the past.
After all, last week's two games between the Grizzlies and the Rockets and Magic were really memorable. The Grizzlies' opponent in the second week of the game was the Golden State Warriors of the Mavericks, who had completed the elimination of the Black Eight Miracle last season and won 67 seasons. But apparently after the start of the season. The Golden State Warriors miracle is no more.
The Golden State Warriors have lost two games last week. This performance of the Golden State Warriors is not surprising, because this summer, the Golden State Warriors can be said to have experienced a wave of team shock. In the summer, only Stephen was left in the Golden State Warriors' lineup to complete the Black Eight Miracle. Jackson, Andris. Biedrins, Monta. Ellis et al.
And like Byron. Davis Jason. Richards and other feats and the strongest forces have left the Warriors, so the Warriors, who lost too much of the main team of the Black Eight last season this summer, are facing the Grizzlies with Ding Moan, and there is a voice of disbelief, vaguely and the Grizzlies were not favored at first, and some fight.
However, the Grizzlies have the huge variable of Ding Moan, but the Warriors don't. Unless the Warriors can have Ding Mo'an, the ghost will believe that the main force can walk, and the injured Warriors can defeat the Grizzly Bear. But for this view, the Warriors coach, Don Nelson, known as a mad scientist, agrees.
In his pre-match press conference, Nelson Sr. said: "Although we lost Byron this summer. Davis and other players. But we're still a playoff team, and our goal this season is still to make the playoffs, not to mess around, and we're going to play against the Grizzlies tonight. We're going to give it our all to win this one." ”
Apparently Nelson Sr. didn't like it, and those media reporters belittled their Warriors, who only completed the Black Eight Miracle last season, worthless, in Nelson's opinion, despite the lack of Byron. Davis and others, but the Warriors still have the strength to fight, after all, after losing Byron. Davis, and the Warriors have also strengthened some positions.
For example, the introduction of Corey. Margeti, who is in his prime, is an excellent swingman at the front, which has strengthened the vitality of the Warriors. And Corey. Margety, who is also a very good offensive player in athletic warfare, is very much to the liking of Nelson Sr. Margeti is not only excellent in attack, but also optimistic about his physical fitness, and a pair of muscles known as the unicorn arm are very eye-catching.
Plus, Corey. Margeti is also a character who was once on par with Kobe, Maddy and other Western super guards. And when he came to the Golden State Warriors, his chaotic fighting ability was also reflected, after all, the Golden State Warriors played Ding Mo'an's run-and-bomb tactics in the Tigers and NCAA period, but their run-and-bomb was more pure than the Tigers.
But Byron. Davis exodus and Monta. Ellis's injury left him with no one available.
