Chapter Seventy-Four: Public Opinion

Yao Ming's sudden injury cast a shadow over the hearts of basketball fans all over China, perhaps not only basketball fans, but almost all Chinese.

Everyone knows what it means for Chinese basketball Yao Ming, in the upcoming Olympic Games, the dream of Chinese basketball to break through the "millennium eight" falls on Yao Ming's shoulders, and now Yao Ming is injured...... It's not the same anymore.

Although there is still Li Cheng in the Chinese men's basketball team, they have a very good guard, but if Li Cheng and Yao Ming can combine inside and outside, wouldn't it be great? Wouldn't it be great if both of them could appear in the starting lineup of the Chinese men's basketball team?

Some time ago, when the Chinese mentioned Li Cheng, the most they said was "the person who passed the ball to Yao Ming", obviously in the hearts of the Chinese people, the Chinese team still has to rely on Yao Ming to pick the girder.

As a defender, Li Cheng is indeed likable, and many people like his style of playing, but this does not mean that Li Cheng's status in the hearts of Chinese will be higher than Yao Ming. You must know that many Chinese fans have been watching the NBA since 02, and the teams they support are the Rockets, and the Houston Rockets are just like China's home team.

They have been watching Yao Ming since they started watching the NBA, and they have been watching Yao Ming for 6 years now. Now that Li Cheng is out, everyone is happy, but Yao Ming's serious injury still makes them feel very uncomfortable, after all, they have watched Yao Ming grow up step by step in the NBA.

When Yao Ming just entered the NBA as the first foreign champion, he averaged only 3.3 points per game in his first six games, which made Barkley very unconvinced.

Before the Houston Rockets' game against the Golden State Warriors, Barkley opened his mouth and boasted that as long as Yao Ming could score 19 points in any game this season, he would kiss the donkey's butt.

And in the Rockets' home game against the Warriors, Yao Ming really only scored 3 points, which made Barkley even more arrogant. He stressed again after the game that as long as Yao Ming can score 19 points in any game this season, he will keep his promise.

But just a week later, Yao Ming slapped Sir Charles in the face with practical actions. He scored 20 points on 9-of-9 shooting against the Los Angeles Lakers.

In the end, Barkley had no choice but to swallow the bitter pills he had caused, promising that he would deliver on his promise in the next game of commentary on the Rockets.

On November 23, 2002, the Rockets lost to the Mavericks away, and Yao Ming scored 30 points and 16 rebounds in this game. Buckley was conquered by Yao Ming, and at halftime Kenny Smith's $500 rental donkey was led into the studio, where Barkley kissed the donkey's buttocks.

Yao Ming raised his eyebrows for Chinese in the NBA, how could the two Chinese players who logged into the NBA before Yao Ming do this?

Before Yao, many Americans thought that Chinese players were the team's mascots. Anyone who has a Chinese water cooler can win the championship. The Pacers signed Li Cheng, and there may be a reason for this!

It was Yao Ming who made Americans change their perception of Chinese, and it was Yao Ming who let Americans know that Chinese can play basketball. Therefore, many Chinese have a special affection for Yao Ming.

"Yao Ming covered his legs, his expression was painful, is he injured?"

"This is a critical time! The Olympics are coming up in the second half of the year, Yao Ming can't be injured at this time! ”

Li Cheng's expression was also very painful, but it seems to be okay now, it is estimated that it is a hard injury.

"Yao Ming limped down, I don't know how his injuries were, I hope it's not serious! Let's bless Yao Ming. ”

This is what the Pacers said when they were not rocketing and the commentary of the Celestial Empire 5. Immediately, in the sports news that night, the news that Yao Ming was seriously injured and may miss the Olympic Games was exposed, and public opinion was in an uproar.

And when Li Cheng's clips of Yao Ming were edited out again and again, and finally Li Cheng's slow motion of pushing Yao Ming after the breakthrough was successful, it was played back again and again, Li Cheng seemed to be the sinner who injured Yao Ming.

Yao Ming was injured, and all those who care about Chinese basketball are not happy, but there is one person who has already blossomed in his heart.

Jiang Xinghan blew two bottles of beer in his residence to express his happy mood. If it weren't for the fact that he had something to do right away, Jiang Xinghan, who was extremely excited, might have drunk himself.

Suppressing his excitement, Jiang Xinghan took out his mobile phone and made several calls in a row.

"Xiao Peng, do you think Li Cheng hurt Yao Ming, can it be used as an entry point?"

"Xiao Li, you quickly edit out those videos, it's time for us to go online to build momentum for our big stars. Oh, okay, go get busy! ”

"Did you find the gunman over there? What Baidu stickers, donkey pounce forum don't let me go, you know? Go and send me a post, the video will be fine in a moment. ”

Soon on the Internet, revelations about Li Cheng appeared.

"For the core position of the national team, Li Cheng quietly shot at Yao Ming on the field"

"Without the love of compatriots, Li Cheng's character is a problem!! 》

"Without Yao Ming, what should you do with the Chinese team?" 》

All kinds of rumors have swept the Internet like the snow disaster that swept the whole of China this winter.

There are those who pray for Yao Ming, and there are those who despise Li Cheng, in short, under the promotion of people with hearts, the direction of public opinion in the entire Celestial Empire is very unfavorable to Li Cheng.

Some people say that Li Cheng is for the position of the flag bearer of the Chinese team in the Olympics, others say that Li Cheng wants to replace Yao Ming's position in the Chinese basketball world, and some people say that Li Cheng is jealous of Yao Ming. In short, all kinds of news are really like pieces of paper, all over the sky.

And there are few who defend Li Cheng and speak for Li Cheng. Either the post was deleted and banned, or it was sprayed wildly. The water army that Jiang Xinghan also found was absolutely professional, and they controlled the direction of the entire Internet public opinion in just a few dozen minutes.

Originally, there were a lot of people who hated Li Cheng, but those people couldn't find a place for Black Li Cheng before. The numbers of people in the NBA are getting more and more beautiful, and there is no negative news, and black without basis is obviously not good.

When they hacked Kobe, they couldn't say that there would always be two tricks. The incident in '04 was the first big move, and then if it didn't work again, it would go straight to Jordan.

Now that they have the evidence of Hei Li Cheng and the crowd of leaders, they are naturally excited all of a sudden, and they instantly occupy the initiative of the entire Internet public opinion.

However, Li Chengke didn't know that when the news of Yao Ming's injury to Yan Zòng came back to China, he had already reaped the reward of the "Top of the Basketball System" and went to chat with Zhou Gong's daughter in his dream.
