Chapter 471: Fight for Glory!
One must be won!
"Good Ball!! Cousin! My cousin is invincible!! Oh my God, one person is bombing indiscriminately, and Chen Mu's team is about to be beaten by his cousin alone!! β
Looking at Gu Yu's arrogant celebrations, looking at the almost crazy state of the fans, and looking at the commentary stage, Smith, Barkley, and O'Neal excitedly imitated Gu Yu's movements
RONNIE KNEW THAT IF HE DIDN'T TAKE GU YU AT THIS TIME, I WAS AFRAID IT WOULD BE TOO LATE!
And next to the commentary stage, Smith, who was screaming and cheering with all his might, also heard the new request from the director from the headset.
ββ¦β¦ Well, I see. β
Responding softly, Smith did not forget to reach out and gently cover the microphone, this answer did not travel with the signal around the world.
The news from the director is very simple, and it can be said clearly in one sentence, but this news is not ordinary.
"Word has arrived, boss."
In the VIP box, Adam Xiaohua was watching the game seriously, looking at the excitement of the fans, looking at the rising ratings, and he was happy in his heart.
Here, his subordinates stepped forward and told him that the news had been passed on to the on-site commentary, and Xiao Hua raised the corners of his mouth, and he couldn't hide a smile.
"What, there's good news again?"
On the side, senior David Stern was also present, and when he saw Xiao Hua's expression, he immediately knew that there must be good news, and turned around and asked, "Your idea, approved by the catwalk?" β
"They can't help but approve of it."
Xiao Hua nodded, his face full of smiles that belonged to the winner, and he smiled without saying a word.
Starting with the Magic Bird Battle, the NBA has officially entered a new era of rapid development.
Before that, the NBA, as one of the most numerous sports leagues in North America, was far inferior to other sports leagues in terms of influence, communication, and popularity, and was a veritable minor league.
And with the entry of the two supergiants of Tianjiao into the alliance, David Stern was keenly aware of the infinite magic contained in these two young people. At the beginning of his tenure, he began to control the media, and trumpeted the situation of the magic bird competing for hegemony and black and white.
This move was later proven to be extremely correct, fans like to see the battle for supremacy, like to see superstars fighting each other, like to see the two giants have a grudge, every time the Magic and Bird fight, can attract countless attention, for the NBA is to earn enough eyeballs.
After that, the god we all know was born.
With Jordan's leadership, the NBA developed further rapidly, and finally gradually became and secured a member of the four major sports leagues in North America under the effect of Americans' favorite individual heroism plot.
However, no matter how good Jordan is, he will grow old.
No matter how powerful God is, he is also a stubborn and difficult character.
In 1998, Jordan got his sixth championship ring, became famous, and once again retreated, and fans around the world felt saddened by God's departure, while the NBA league also entered the most chaotic dark period in history.
Jordan retired, a large number of neutral fans, or fans who don't pay much attention to the game of basketball, BA's attention continued to decline, and the overall development encountered a huge bottleneck.
Although the development of overseas markets has begun to take off, due to the lack of enough heavyweight overseas players, the NBA still has no way to completely roll out the situation and play its own world map.
Of course, David Stern is well aware that world basketball is developing rapidly, and sooner or later there will be enough world-class stars to come to the NBA stage to make their mark, drive local basketball attention, and further increase the influence of the NBA.
But to do this, one needs the emergence of genius, and the other is the accumulation of time. After so many years of super-fast development, you let David Stern face a huge drop in attention all at once, and he is always unwilling.
At this time, the labor dispute also kicked off, and the NBA, which was already in decline, suffered a rare shutdown.
Seeing a large number of fans losing and watching other sports leagues make a lot of money from it, Stern was so anxious that he only thought about how to break through this dilemma of internal and external troubles.
The first way that came to his mind was the way to save him from fire and water when he first took over the alliance:
Create rivals.
If there are two superstars in the league who are strong enough and have a very fan-absorbing style to form a situation of hegemony between the East and the West, the NBA's "millennium dilemma" will definitely be greatly alleviated.
Stern's eyes were first aimed at the stars who were playing in the league.
It's a pity that at that time, the NBA was a group of heroes, and there were a lot of stars of various styles, but after Jordan retired, there was no player who could "meet the fans' requirements for heroes".
Early years, Stern was already looking for a variety of Jordan replacements. What Grant Hill, what Penny Hardaway, and even Michael Finley were forcibly pushed to power.
Among the new generation of players, Carter, Maddy, and Kobe are all good, but the gap between them seems to be too big.
Besides, choose any one of them to be the hegemon of one side, and on the other side, who should take over the banner of Bird and start the era of confrontation?
As a result, the "O'Neal-Duncan" battle and the "Kobe-Iverson" battle that everyone is familiar with came to the stage one by one.
However, if you don't die, Ao Fatzi will be at the peak for three years, and if you give a guard, you will have three times, and after three times, you will wilt.
Duncan is powerful, but the style of the ball really doesn't attract fans, and people are too stuffy, and his popularity has never been able to rise.
Kobe Bryant is a pretty good choice, he has to be strong, he has to be popular, and his style of play is gorgeous. However, a handsome case knocked Kobe Bryant directly out of the ranks of the league.
Iverson is not bad, but unfortunately the personality is too difficult to get around, and it is a question whether to listen to you Stern or not.
This series of choices never succeeded, and Stern's brain was about to crack.
Finally, he waited for someone.
"With the first pick in 2003, the Cleveland Cavaliers chose ...... LeBron Jamesββ!! β
Little Emperor James!
With the appearance of James, Stern immediately sensed the huge business potential of the little emperor and began to praise James with all his might.
James himself is good enough, but in three years, he has already produced MVP-level statistical performances, and the team has also broken into the Finals in the fourth year.
It was at this time that Kobe Bryant, through his own efforts and the forgetfulness of people after the passage of time, gained super popularity again, and Stern made a decision with a wave of his hand:
"James vs Kobe, 23 vs. 24!"
As soon as this official CP came out, the world's basketball popularity finally rebounded again. Coupled with the strong rise of international stars such as Yao Ming, the NBA has officially become the first super group with a truly international influence among the four major sports leagues in North America.
But it's still the same sentence, people are not as good as heaven.
Stern, who held Kobe Bryant and James to carry such a good plan for the future of the league, didn't expect that the two superstars, who have enough teams in the East and West to enter the Finals every year, have never really met in the Finals because of various coincidences.
has been advocating the peerless battle for many years, and there is always no place to stay, plus James has gradually become a powerhouse in the league, and Kobe Bryant is slowly aging, this stalk is slowly no one to mention.
It was at this time that Chen Mu rose.
won the MVP, broke into the finals and led the team to win the championship, Chen Mu replaced Kobe Bryant and became LeBron James's best lifelong enemy.
However, the matchup between these two is certainly exciting, but both are in the East, and it is impossible for them to meet in the finals. This has led to the most G-tide of the league's plot, and it has never been able to be staged on the highest stage of the finals.
And James is always so breathless, he is always pressed and beaten by Chen Mu, and it seems that he will never turn over.
What should I do?
Before he could figure it out, Stern was facing retirement.
After Adam Xiaohua took over, the most important job to bear the brunt of it was to find a strong enough western opponent for Chen Mu as his lifelong enemy.
So, when Gu Yu performed strongly for three consecutive seasons and shocked the world's attention, Xiao Hua set his sights on Gu Yu.
"The last shot, Chen's emergency stop whistle...... Medium ββ!!! β
βYEAAAAAAAHββοΌοΌοΌβ
On the court, at the end of the third quarter of the game, with Chen Mu's whistle shot, Chen Mu's team finally bit the score. 103-91, Gu Yu's team led by 12 points, and there was still a game to play!
"It is worthy of being a lifelong enemy, and it is worthy of being Chen's nemesis!"
On the side of the commentary stage, Smith and others, who received Xiao Hua's instructions, also began to blow the atmosphere of the duel between Chen Mu and Gu Yu at the right time.
"So far, Gu has scored 31 points, and it looks like he has a good chance of hitting the all-time All-Star Game scoring record!"
Smith is a professional commentator, all kinds of data are at hand, looking at the technical statistics in his hand: "Chen has also scored a double-double of 28 points and 13 rebounds, and from the perspective of personal performance, it is better than Gu!" β
"But my cousin is ahead!"
O'Neill was already a firm Gu Yu, shook his head and said disdainfully: "And there are so many scorers on my cousin's side, the ball is relatively scattered, and he can still hit 31 points, I think his scoring content is higher than Chen's!" β
"It's not that exaggerated."
Barkley still stood on Chen Mu's side: "Although the Chen Mu team is more concentrated in Chen's hands, you also have to have the strength to get those points and rebounds, right?" Correspondingly, my cousin's teammates also know that Chen is the only hope for the opponent, and since the beginning of the third quarter, he has been wrapping up Chen, and almost every score of Chen is obtained from the crowd, where is the gold content lower than that of my cousin?? β
"Cut, it's useless to say that. Look at it in the fourth quarter, my cousin will definitely lead the team to victory! β
O'Neill and Barkley are also two good actors, Smith is neutral, and the two fat men stand in line, and a feeling that "the era of Chen Mu and Gu Yu's hegemony is coming" is spontaneous.
In the midst of the noise, the most critical fourth quarter of the game began.
