Chapter 40: Die-hard fans

Larry Bird and Larry Brown's vaunted victory over New York was quickly stirred up by the media.

Among the stars of the NBA, there are many people who have grudges against each other, and the media is also willing to break these news and create topics. For example, Jordan's feud with Isaiah Thomas is often mentioned today.

The Pacers already have a feud with the Knicks, and every time the two teams meet, it is full of gunpowder, and now it is a great topic to add the conflict between the coach.

Indiana fans, I wish the new season started now, so that the team can abuse the old rival Knicks under the leadership of Bird!

Knicks fans are scratching their ears and worried that their team will be ravaged by the Indianas!

Philadelphia, where the 76ers are located, is very close to New York, only a two-hour drive. In professional baseball, football, hockey, etc., the two cities have rivals, and now basketball has broken out of the two cities' head coaches fighting each other, and the fans are also happy!

After another inquiry, the new head coach of New York is only 22 years old, the youngest in history, but the name of the mentally handicapped has spread all over the United States, and those baseball, football, and hockey fans can't help it, and they have booked basketball tickets for next season, wanting to see how the Phillies torture New Yorkers!

The rival city showdown is just that!

In New York, Li Wei's own news is even more popular than his pinching with two celebrities, that is, the sixth season of "The Most Mentally Handicapped President in History"!

Before the Knicks held the press conference, reporters were actually desperate, because the appointment of Chuck Daley as head coach was nothing black. But no one expected that there would be such a shocking news at the press conference, and the position of head coach was taken over by President Li himself!

The 22-year-old youngest head coach in history, who has never worked in basketball, is so good that it's hard for everyone not to hack!

Outside the nickname! The sixth season of "The Most Mentally Retarded CEO in History" is serialized!

In the first five seasons, the president successively destroyed the team's organizational guard, power forward, center, scoring guard, and small forward, thinking that he would die to the extreme in the world, and it was indestructible - yes, there are only five positions on the court, and now that all five positions have been killed, how can it be destroyed?

President, you should have had enough trouble!

But it turns out that everyone is still too naΓ―ve!

In Season 6, the President himself became the head coach of the team!

Can you imagine a dwarf who is only 1.45 meters tall and has to look up to see someone else when standing on a table, serving as the head coach of an NBA team?

This guy just became the president, he dismantled a championship division with a raise of his hand, and now he is also the head coach, will there be a future in New York?

The New York media's ability to chase after the wind and make a big fuss is undoubtedly revealed in the sixth season of the president. With such a stellar sixth season of president, no one cares about Chuck Daley's appointment as an assistant coach.

"These guys know that nothing is wrong!" Li Wei slammed the newspaper hard.

As early as when he scolded this group of reporters, he knew that there would be no good results. But if you don't do it, it won't end well!

America is a free country, and you can't stop people from talking, let alone farting.

Li Wei is more and more understanding of the attitude of Dawei Shao towards the media in his previous life. Anyway, whatever you do is to be hacked, don't be cowardly in the future, just cowardice, you don't have to save face for this group of scum at all!

In fact, compared to the various negative news during the presidential campaign, the president's encounter with this little battle is just a drizzle. The article "Running for Governor" in the Chinese textbook vividly depicts this country.

casually turned on the computer, Li Wei found that the team's email was also full of emails scolding him. Just as he was about to delete them all, a name suddenly caught his attention.

"Bill Simmons?"

Bill Simmons is a former life of Li Wei, the famous inventor of Ewing's law in the sports world.

What is Ewing's Law?

1. A star who has been overly sought after by the media and fans, but whose team has not won anything substantial, except for a possible primary playoffs.

2. When the star leaves his team, whether it's injured, traded, left school, signed with his team, or retired, the media and fans think the team will be completely ruined.

3. He is not a purely defensive player.

When all three factors come together, Ewing's Law works, and the teams that lose their stars will have surprisingly good results!

It can be said that Ewing's Law has hacked countless stars, and Ewing himself, who named the law after his name, has been hacked. If it weren't for Bill Simmons' mouth being too poisonous, Knicks fans in the previous life would not have been able to collectively cheer after Ewing was traded.

Ewing's Law is just one of Bill Simmons' countless achievements. You can guess his profession from his results - yes, he's a professional troll in the world of sports, oh no, a columnist.

"Bill Simmons also emailed me to scold me?"

The president wanted to delete the email directly, but when the mouse moved to the hook, he still clicked on it.

Bill Simmons's works are characterized by poison, very poisonous, any popular American drama, movie, novel, music, can be turned into material to attack you, spraying you with a thousand holes.

Among the media people known to Li Wei in his previous life, if Simmons's poisonous mouth is called second, then no one dares to call it first. Of course, this guy's ability is not only poisonous, but also brainless squirting on the street, but it is obviously unrealistic to expect to become a writer by scolding.

Simmons' characteristic is that he sprays a person not only poisonous, but also reasonable, full of logic, in addition to being funny and humorous, full of grooves!

It's a real brain-squirting!

When encountering brainless spraying, everyone can ignore it, after all, there are too many stupid people in this society, and you don't need to care about their opinions. But when you encounter a brain spray, from the perspective of 5,000 years up and down, the perspective of the birth and death of the universe, the perspective of the neighbor's aunt and aunt, and the angle of your girlfriend's irregular menstruation, you can prove that you are useless, then it is very terrible, and the onlookers will applaud together!

In his previous life, Bill Simmons's poisonous tongue article was loved by everyone, and Li Wei was no exception. So knowing that the other party would scold him, Li Wei still couldn't help but want to see how others scolded!

There are always many unexpected things in this world - when the president scanned the content of this email in a tangled way, he found that the poisonous tongue of his previous life did not spray him, but there were some compliments between the lines!

What's even more surprising is that Simmons fully affirmed several of his trades, and even thought that Li Wei was wiser than the other presidents of the league!

"It's rare, it's rare, this big poisonous snake can actually boast about people, the sun comes out of the west?" Li Wei's eyes narrowed with laughter, "Well, you have to interview me, this can be available, Dennis, help me contact the author of this email!" ”

Li Wei didn't know that the current Bill Simmons was not a well-known writer at all, and he couldn't even be called a writer, he was just an unknown copywriter!

After graduating from college, this kid applied for a job as a reporter for the Boston Herald, but the newspaper assigned him a job to answer readers' calls and buy takeout for old employees!

How can a high-minded and arrogant talent do such a job as buying takeaways, and he resigned within a few months!

After that, no newspaper was willing to take in this unobtrusive young man - what else could you do if you couldn't do chores like connecting the phone or buying takeout?

Can write articles? Hehe, we are engaged in the media, which pen is not hard?

Unable to find a job with a professional counterpart, Bill Simmons had to apply for a job as a waiter at a bar and struggled to make ends meet. However, unwilling to be mediocre, he did not give up his literary dream, and when he was not at work, he was always writing manuscripts and posting them on online forums!

In this era, the Internet is a new media, not yet developed, and people mainly rely on television and newspapers. He kept posting on the forum, and soon attracted the attention of the webmaster.

Bill Simmons saw that a webmaster had contacted him and immediately applied for a special section.

His website is called Boston Cyberport, which belongs to the kind of Boston area forums, and one of the pages is very popular, called "Boston Filmmaker", and many people are there every day to discuss which movie is good. Bill Simmons also wanted to be as popular as others, so he named his section "Boston Sportsman"!

Although there is a special area, the number of hits in his special area is only about 100 per day, and no one reads the article. The writer who posts on this kind of forum will definitely not be paid, and he will continue to work in a bar to support himself.

Every day code words, go to work, code words, go to work, depressed, the psychology of the talented man is becoming more and more distorted, and the anger in his articles is getting more and more!

In order to run his own forum area, he also wrote letters and emails to various teams, hoping to get the opportunity to interview, so as to make the article more interesting. But how can teams care about an online writer who posts on a forum? It's too late for them to deal with the reporters of the major television, radio, newspapers, and magazines!

In the past few days, the new president of the New York Knicks has been very hot by the major media, and if Bill Simmons is a fan of the Knicks, he will definitely follow the media to scold, but unfortunately he is not!

He's a die-hard Boston Celtics fan, and the more New York dies, the happier he gets!

After carefully analyzing Li Wei's transaction, Simmons found that the Knicks had some losses, but they were definitely not as exaggerated as the media said.

The current media is really unscrupulous, in order to attract attention, they don't care about anything, and they will die when they catch a black spot!

Since everyone is hacking Li Wei, Bill Simmons has a whim, wondering if he can do the opposite and get attention by praising Li Wei?

On a whim, he wrote an article praising Li Wei. But after writing it, he felt that this article could not be posted!

Everyone is scolding Li Wei, he suddenly holds it like this, so will half of the hundred or so clicks in the original special area be lost?

It would be terrible if he did lose half of his readers, and he couldn't take that risk!

The articles were all written, but he didn't dare to send them, he felt that it was a bit of a waste. In a flash of inspiration, the genius modified it and sent it to Nicks as an email, and asked for an interview!

If this article can really impress the Knicks and get an interview, he doesn't mind giving Li Wei a hand. His column needs big news, it needs hype!

However, no team has yet been willing to accept an interview with him, and the Knicks should be no exception. Fortunately, he used the manuscript as a waste manuscript, and he didn't feel distressed if he didn't reply or was rejected.

Today, Bill Simmons had just finished typing a piece of manuscript when he suddenly heard the phone ring. When he picked it up, the person who called him turned out to be Knicks general manager Dennis Johnson!

"What, your president admires me and is ready to be interviewed by me?"

"Yes, do you have time?"

"Yes, I can spare time at any time!"

This is really a blind cat encountering a dead mouse, a street writer of his level, and an interview with the president can be agreed!

Bill Simmons hurriedly found his most expensive set of miscellaneous suits and went out in a hurry, still typing on the road!

It's his maiden interview and he doesn't want to mess things up!

Li Wei received Simmons in his office, and he found that this famous mouth in his previous life was actually a little nervous. When I asked again, I realized that Simmons is just a bar waiter, part-time spraying people on forums, oh no, part-time writing sports commentary. And his sports commentary column, which only has about 100 hits a day, is bleak to death.

Simmons was also a little embarrassed after introducing his situation, after all, a person who posted on the Internet went to the team to conduct an interview with the president, which was too inconsistent with his identity.

Li Wei chuckled, not minding the identity of the other party. Since this big troll has not yet been poisoned, oh no, this big talent has not yet become famous all over the world, and he can still carry it with him.

With this layer of friendship, I believe that when I am hacked in the future, oh no, when I am commented, the other party can also be a little merciful!

"Well, I'll put you an ad on the Knicks homepage and say I'm interviewing you, and I'm sure many Knicks fans can find your commentary. In addition, I can also help you run it online, I have invested in a lot of websites! ”

Simmons' eyes widened and said, "You also have a website?" ”

Li Weidao: "I don't do it, I just invest in shares, I like to support emerging industries." I want to think about it...... Let Yahoo make you an advertising link for a week, and I'm also one of the shareholders over there, and I supported them when they first started the website. ”

"Yahoo?" When Simmons heard this, he immediately burst into tears of excitement.

In this era, Google, Facebook, Twitter and so on have not been born at all, and the most prosperous website on the Internet is Yahoo!

At the beginning of the year, USA Today ranked first in the list of the most content-rich, entertaining, visually appealing, and easy-to-use online platforms!

If you can hang ads on this website, it will be difficult for Simmons's forum not to be popular!

"Mr. Li, thank you so much, no one has ever looked up to me as much as you!"

Li Wei smiled: "Bill, don't be discouraged, take your time, I think you and I have the same temperament, and we will both succeed." ”

Simmons said with tears in his eyes: "Mr. Li, don't worry, I will definitely write an interview when I go back, so that everyone can know the real you!" ”

At the end of the interview, Li Wei was busy again. He didn't expect that the interview that arose at this time would turn the No. 1 viper in the critics in his previous life into his die-hard fan!
