Chapter 216: The Most Important Thing
Speaking of the Boston Celtics, three years ago, as a Chinese fan, Zhang Kong didn't even know there was such a team.
He estimated that the vast majority of fans didn't know about the team at the time, except for the team's diehards or bricks, of course.
As the league's most winning team, the Boston Celtics represent a piece of NBA history and history.
The city of Boston, where he is located, is the capital and largest city of Massachusetts in the United States, and the largest city in New England, the city is located on the Atlantic coast of the northeast of the United States, founded in 1630, is one of the oldest and most culturally valuable cities in the United States, if the city is not as big as Phoenix and Indianapolis, and he is not as good as New York and Los Angeles in terms of population, but when it comes to basketball culture, among all NBA cities, Los Angeles may be comparable to him. Ever since Bill Russell began to dominate the NBA, the name of the Green Army has resounded across the United States.
Of course, it was not because of basketball that it was resounding in the United States at that time, but because Bill Russell took the lead in raising the wages and status of blacks in the team, no matter what the strategy was, whenever he launched it, someone's interests would definitely be harmed, but now this kind of discrimination is not much in the United States, and that kind of extreme colorists also exist, but there are very few.
In the United States, among the cities with a population of more than 500,000, there is no city smaller than San Francisco and Washington, which are smaller than Boston.
Don't look at Boston's small territory, it is a big sports city, and there are many teams in the city.
For example, the Boston Red Blazers of MLB (Major League Baseball), the New England Patriots of the NFL (American Football League), the Bosses Bruins of the NHL (American Hockey League), the New Grand Revolution of MLS (Major League Soccer), and of course the Boston Celtics of the NBA, in addition to the New England Revolution, the rest of the teams are quite strong in their leagues, and the Boston Red Brothers have won 6 world championships, The New England Patriots have won three Super Wrist Championships and one Major League Championship, and the Bruins have won five championships!
The Boston Celtics, who we are familiar with, have won 17 NBA championships, the most recent of which is '08.
It's not without purpose to talk about the Celtics, because tonight's game is crucial, with the Celtics currently sitting 22-5 and the Pacers 21-5 in the East, respectively.
Originally, this was enough to attract everyone's attention, but it seemed to be an important surname to set off this battle.
Today, the Lakers will host the Thunder, and the Lakers have a 22-4 record, which ranks first in the league...... The Lakers are 22-4 and first in the league, the Celtics are 22-5 and second in the league, and the Pacers are 21-5 and third in the league.
Such a ranking made everyone pinch a cold sweat, because as long as one is not careful, after today, the ranking of the whole league team will undergo a new reform, Garnett who returned from injury makes the Green Army even more terrifying, and the explosive power of the Pacers' group of young people also makes everyone feel frightened, if the Lakers defeat Durant, who has been extremely hot recently, under the leadership of Kobe...... All in all, today's game is very important, the league didn't think about Zhang Kong when they arranged the schedule, and last summer, they looked like Zhang Kong was just a defensive player who could defend.
But after the start of this season, Zhang Kong let them know what it means to be a fish leaping dragon gate! Overnight, Zhang Kong became the idol of countless basketball fans around the world, and in China, Zhang Kong's influence is also unprecedentedly huge, not only the imperial court, almost all TV stations have sent invitations to Zhang Kong, hoping that Zhang Kong can participate in the recording of his own program when he returns to China in the summer.
The face of the imperial court station is estimated to be given to Zhang Kong, after all, he still has to take care of his own image, as for other local stations, Zhang Kong may not be able to participate, after all, he has more important things to do this summer.
However, Zhang Kong did not let Joe Josh agree, this is Zhang Kong's biggest purpose of signing Joe Josh, if you sign a strong manager, you may be led by the nose by this grandson, and sign an obedient one, which is better than anything else, because Zhang Kong is too strong.
At the beginning of the season, I didn't expect that it would create a game like today, the first player battle in the East, who wins is the boss, and at the same time scratches the Lakers' first position in the league, whether it is the Celtics or the Pacers.
As long as he wins tonight, plus if the Lakers lose the game, he will be the first in the league.
Today, the court Wutai gritted his teeth and stomped his feet to make a certain sacrifice, first at 8 o'clock, the live broadcast of the Celtics and Pacers game, in order to show the importance of this game, the league deliberately arranged at 8 o'clock in the evening this prime time.
And after the Celtics vs. Pacers game is broadcast, they will broadcast the Lakers vs. Thunder game live.
Although today is Wednesday, there are a lot of fans who skip classes and skip classes, almost all fans are gathered in front of the TV or computer to watch the game, although Zhang Kong has not played a game in China recently, nor has he played a game for the national team, but he has successfully become the first athlete in the eyes of Chinese fans during the period of Yao Ming's injury.
Shan Zai fans are no longer satisfied with just calling Zhang Kong the first guard in Asia, they are beginning to want to call Zhang Kong the first guard in the NBA, but Zhang Kong naturally knows what his level is, and it is impossible to listen to the media blowing nonsense there.
Of course, if there is empty honey, there will naturally be empty black, and how many people love Zhang Kong, how many people hate him, this is a theorem.
And the people who hate him the most are actually the people he knows, Zhang Kong has been bullied since he was a child, because his parents are not around, there is only one grandfather, and his health is not very good, so Zhang Kong has spent time in the eyes of others since he was a child, Zhang Kong has no friends, nor an enemy, those who look down on him and always bully him, let Zhang Kong see the world clearly, plus with Zhang Kong's identity now, they are not worthy of being their enemies! But you can imagine it...... Even if you see on TV, a guy you used to bully all day long has now become the pride of China, you will not be unhappy in your heart, and you want to pat each other's ass in the early stage, and then show off yourself everywhere, but after the time period when people don't even hang you.
This kind of strong hatred of the rich will appear, but these guys with pink eye are just a very small group of people to talk to the tens of thousands of fans in China, and Zhang Kong has no desire to know them and remember who they are.
It's always hard to predict, so be kind to the person around you, and maybe he'll be some great guy in the future.
For this game, major TV stations and websites have sent their own core masters, the imperial court station sent a double-draw combination, the United States sent TNT to do live broadcasts, and even Europe broadcast this game on a large scale.
On the bed in her bedroom, Xia Xueshan was holding her thick silk quilt while nervously watching the game on TV.
Not only was she nervous alone, Joanna was also at home, put down her laptop that she usually didn't leave her hand, turned on the TV, sat on the sofa in the living room and watched Zhang Kong who was warming up on the field, as the second person living with Zhang Kong, she felt a lot of pressure, now whenever she opened the door and went out, she would always find that several people were following her, those people were paparazzi, but with her superb commercial spy skills, she could always throw the other party away, this is her skill.
In addition to Xia Xueshan and Joanna, there are definitely a lot of guys who are paying attention to this game and Zhang Kong.
Inside the ESPN building, Camilla, who was still a little haggard, was watching TV, although her face had improved.
The cat was in her own house, and Christina, who listened to her father scolding the state treasurer and the wealthy businessman, was also watching TV.
Taylor Swiveford, who was preparing to do a rehearsal pitch for his final new album, was also watching TV.
Even Lindsey Lohan, who was caught driving again for speeding and was locked up in a cabin by his girlfriend, was watching TV.
The United States, China, and even the world, hundreds of millions of people are paying attention to this important game, and the ratings of this regular season game in the league have risen rapidly, and the ratings have exceeded 10 almost before the game has started, and the ratings have even exceeded the ratings of last year's finals, and this rating is still increasing rapidly.
When David Stern, who was preparing to go to bed at home, learned the news, he jumped out of bed.
It was also because of this jump that he came to his senses...... Zhang Kong, this guy can definitely bring ample benefits to the alliance.
"It's not wrong to like money, it's not wrong to blatantly like money, as long as you like it, cooperate with me, money? Not a problem! Hurriedly turned on the TV and watched the situation on the TV, David Stern's brain also spun fast.
What he is thinking about now is how to make more money by relying on Zhang Kong and make Zhang Kong the next brand in the NBA.
No matter what David Stern thought, with the referee's whistle, the orange basketball quickly broke away from the veteran hand of the referee Bavita, and like a naughty child, it quickly rose into the sky between the two centers...... Hey?
