Chapter 613: A Special Press Conference
On March 1, Catfox Technology officially held the "Extraordinary Panda: Press Conference" at 9 p.m., and the Clippers also easily defeated the Sacramento Kings on the road.
At the press conference, Maohu Entertainment showed a special software built into Extraordinary Panda, with the Chinese name "WeChat" and the English name "WeChat".
This is a free application that provides instant messaging services for smart terminals, and supports cross-communication operators and cross-operating system platforms to quickly send free (requires a small amount of network traffic) voice SMS, videos, pictures and texts through the guò network. At the same time, WeChat can also provide functions such as public platform, circle of friends, message push, etc., users can add friends and follow the public platform through guò "shake", "search number", "people nearby", and share content with friends and share the wonderful content that users see to WeChat Moments.
This built-in app has received the attention of many industry insiders, and now it is 2010, and many savvy people have seen the prospect of this built-in software, and also saw the ambition of Maohu Technology.
The spokesperson of "Extraordinary Panda" is Emma. Roberts and Little Radish also tried the "multi-screen interaction" function on the spot, successfully replacing the remote control of the projector with a mobile phone, and projecting pictures and videos from the mobile phone to the screen. Then, after downloading the simple program, the reporters in the audience immediately received a message from Emma. The synchronization picture uploaded by Roberts's mobile phone, and the live projector also released the synchronized content. This isn't actually a very high-tech feature, but it has a lot of practical use.
Ji Guoqiu sent several voice chat messages on WeChat during the intermission, as well as photos of the locker room and a 30-second video of the locker room, which caused a series of exclamations at the on-site press conference. It's not unusual to send videos and photos. However, the voice messages recorded by WeChat are transmitted instantly. It can be said that it is a novel way to chat that has never been seen before. It immediately aroused the interest of journalists.
Emma. Unlike answering a phone call, WeChat eliminates the need to respond urgently, reducing the typing process and replacing text with voice.
In addition to this novel way of chatting, WeChat also has the function of searching for "people nearby" and "shake it". The former facilitates socialization between strangers, who are always curious, and strangers who "may see real people". People are always willing to keep exploring. The latter allows users to instantly capture information from people who are using WeChat and shaking their phones at the same time, thus expanding the "social circle of strangers", and maybe it is a big-name star who is shaking the phone.
Ji Guoqiu and Emma. Roberts then shook their phones together, and since there were only two Extraordinary Pandas connected to the Internet and using the feature, they found each other in an instant, even though one was in Los Angeles and the other was in Sacramento. When the reporters present saw Ji Guoqiu and Emma in their notebooks through "multi-screen interaction". Roberts shook each other and immediately responded with a round of applause and cheers, which looked so cool.
The launch of Extraordinary Panda went smoothly, with a series of novelties and creative features. Youtube and Fox Video were broadcast live around the world, and many people watched the launch. Can't wait to get started with this phone. In addition to its own high appearance, its functionality is unprecedentedly rich, just "cloud storage", "WeChat", "multi-screen interaction" is enough to attract them to replace the mobile phone they are using.
On March 2, the Clippers returned to their home court and won a hard-fought overtime victory over the Utah Jazz.
The Clippers will have another tough month throughout March, as they will play 16 games in March, an average of one game over two days, four back-to-back games alone. However, the good news is that the rest of the Clippers' roster is healthy, except for Garcia and McDyce who have been put on the injury list for the time being.
On March 4, the healthy Clippers were defeated at home by the not-so-healthy Suns. Stoudemire wasn't traded in the end, not because the Suns didn't want to send him away, but because no one dared to take over. Who knows if Stoudemire will stay when his contract expires next year? In case a player who was bought at a great price only played half a season and ran away, then how can it be reasonable?
The Knicks, Nets and other teams are confident that they can keep Xiao Si, but they feel that they don't have to spend a price to trade at all, and they can get at least one superstar next year, so why bother to trade? Wouldn't it be better to wait for ready-made ones next year?
So while the league was full of trade rumors throughout February, there wasn't a single big deal that actually happened. All forces have their own calculations in their hearts, and they all want to take advantage of others, but if someone takes advantage, then someone will definitely suffer, and in the end, those who are not smart enough and greedy will suffer a big loss because of this.
On March 6, the Clippers defeated the Oklahoma City Thunder at home and sealed a Western Conference playoff spot ahead of schedule.
On March 7, the Clippers lost back-to-back games to the Utah Jazz in Salt Lake City, and the Devils in Salt Lake City handed the Clippers their fifth loss of the season. However, the outside world is still optimistic about the Clippers, and the Utah Jazz have lost back-to-back games to the Devil's home court, and everyone can understand that the Clippers still have five losses to consume, and the goal is this kind of back-to-back away games.
On March 10, the Clippers rested for two days, this time still on the road, against Eastern Conference powerhouse Orlando Magic.
The Clippers started the game a little more relaxed, and the Magic maintained a slight lead, and the Clippers trailed 27-30 at the end of the first quarter.
In the second quarter, the Clippers, led by the Fox brother, blasted a wave of 9:0 small climax to overtake the score, but still trailed 59-63 at halftime.
In the third quarter, the two teams engaged in a tug-of-war, with the score increasing alternately, and at the end of the third quarter, the two teams were tied at 85.
The battle between the two sides heated up in the final quarter, and Howard was bound to win against the Clippers, scoring 12 points in the final quarter. However, he never expected that 16.1 seconds before the end, Ji Guozhi made a wonderful rebound layup and chased the score to 104:104.
In this case, the whole Clippers team flashed a malicious smile at Howard.
Howard shuddered with caution, and as soon as he received the ball, he saw two identical nasty guys reach out and slap their wrists, and then only hit one of the two free throws.
Ji Guoqiu turned around and also walked to the free throw line, but hit both free throws, and then Lewis missed a three-pointer and failed to overtake the score, Ji Guoqiu grabbed the rebound, and the Clippers finally narrowly defeated the Magic 106-105.
Ji Guoqiu contributed 18 points, 13 rebounds, 4 assists and 4 blocks, and Ji Guoqiu had 40 points, 15 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 blocks.
On March 11, the Clippers again played back-to-backs on the road, this time against the Miami Heat.
The first quarter was fiercely contested, with the Heat maintaining a slight lead at 22-21.
Today's old Dunleavy tactics are defensive counterattacks, consecutive away back-to-back, if you blindly attack, in the end eighty percent will not end well. In the past three seasons, the Clippers have gradually learned how to play a good game like this, and every team in the NBA has at least two months of extremely difficult schedules, and at this time, the technical and tactical ability of the team's head coach is tested.
Although the elder Dunleavy is not a genius, after these three seasons, he has gradually figured out a set of ways to deal with it
The Clippers remained defensive in the half, and Wade alone was unable to break down the Clippers defense. In the second quarter, the two sides still formed a see-saw, and the Heat relied on the home court and physical advantage, and always held a slight lead, but they just couldn't play an attack wave to crush the Clippers.
At halftime, the Heat led by three points at 48:45.
In the second half, the Clippers suddenly opened up their outside firepower, hitting 7 three-pointers in a single quarter and outscoring the Heat by 8 points, leading 74-69 into the final quarter. Then in the crucial fourth quarter, Ji Guoyi was directly replaced by the elder Dunleavy, and the Clippers opened with a wave of 12:0 small climax to lock up the victory, and finally the Clippers defeated the Heat 96-88 and won two consecutive victories.
Ji Guoqiu contributed 20 points, 15 rebounds, 7 assists and 3 blocks, and Ji Guoqiu 42 points, 13 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 blocks.
The Clippers were in full swing in Devil's March, and the Extraordinary Panda, which had just released 100,000 units of the Extraordinary Panda Engineering Commemorative Edition, has also become the world's most watched mobile phone, easily climbing to the top of the popularity list of major mobile portals around the world. And when on March 8th, after the official mall announced the opening of pre-sale, in just one day, the official mall crashed four times, and countless consumers who thought they were going to rush to buy it crowded through the official mall, for fear that they would not be able to grab it if they were one step slower.
These domestic and foreign consumers did not see that this pre-sale is unlimited, of course, there will be a limited time, each ID can only buy two, and the order will only be processed after the payment is completed.
The two brothers were also unscrupulous, and everyone thought that the "Extraordinary Panda" would only be divided into three prices according to the different storage space, just like the previous commemorative edition of the project, but the two actually increased the price of the more popular red, yellow and orange by 20 US dollars, which was complained by many people.
The price of the Extraordinary Panda has not increased temporarily, with the 8GB/16GB/32GB priced at $549/$599/$699 respectively, with a $20 increase in the red, yellow, and orange versions.
This price is actually quite reasonable, when the Apple 3GS was just released, the minimum 8G version was also priced at $599, which is $50 more expensive than the extraordinary panda, so think about it, the two brothers are not unscrupulous.
This kind of limited-time pre-sale after a long-term out-of-stock of the fox of the world, consumers' desire to buy was mentioned to the highest, the official mall received more than 900,000 pre-orders on the first day, which is the largest single-day order in the history of the U.S. mobile phone industry, the U.S. telecommunications operator AT&T said on the 11th that the first day of reservations for the extraordinary panda mobile phone was 10 times that of the iPhone3GS that was launched last year.
The first day of pre-sales of the Apple 3GS last year was indeed less than 100,000 units, and the mobile phones at that time were still dominated by Nokia and Blackberry, and it was the advent of the Apple 3GS that changed this situation, and the sales went all the way up, which opened a new chapter in smartphones.
But when on March 11th, it only took three days for Extraordinary Panda to pre-sell 2.2 million units through the official store of Guò, and even Jobs was shocked when he heard the news, calling it impossible! (To be continued......)
