Chapter 684 Unexpectedly Increased Ratings
"That's right, the whole team actually played well today, you know, how many points did we trail the Hornets in front?" Because it was not very late in the evening, Chen Zai had taken over the XXX show before and said that he wanted to invite him to be a guest on the evening show.
So I simply took a photo at the press conference and passed. The magnesium light makes people feel a little dizzy, which really makes the audience see clearly, this head is going to suffer a little.
"It's true that the Nets are doing well. But as far as I can see, Williamson did a little bit more. The host was still smiling and talking to Chen at this time.
"Oh, this kid must have been hot in the media lately." Chen has been concentrating on the game lately, not paying much attention to the discussion of the Nets in the media.
"That's not true, at least I feel like he's not at this level of heat yet~" Chen heard the host say this, and his mood relaxed a little. There was just a nod of the head. The atmosphere didn't seem like an evening show. The audience wasn't very enthusiastic.
"But such a player who is not too good, oh, I may not be right. Such a player can make a name for himself in Brooklyn, I looked at the information, Williamson used to play in other development leagues because the Trail Blazers didn't have their own development league, so you found out, right? ”
Chen's smile began to freeze a little at this time, he felt that the atmosphere around him was not quite right at this time, and he could even hear the laughter of some of the audience around him at this time.
"It's true, it's not our fault that the Trail Blazers don't have a development league. It is also marked there, oh, the Trail Blazers did not have a subordinate team and then were sent to other teams, but it was the Nets' fault that the Nets chose players~ What is wrong with the Nets? ~Please tell me. Does it seem like the NBA has to get approval from you to pick up players? ~”
After Chen finished speaking, many of the surrounding audience couldn't hold back and laughed~ Chen looked at the dark and dazzling places in front of him, and took a sip of water easily.
"Ah...... I didn't blame the Trailblazer alone, maybe you have a grudge against him......"
"I have no grudge against them. The Trail Blazers are a tough team, and maybe they don't get a lot of attention, but sometimes they can blow you up in an instant, can you believe it? ”
"Haha, of course, the Trail Blazers are a good team. But we're not talking about trailblazers. It feels like you're going to that team. I'm talking about the Nets. For example, players such as Nicholson, McDaniels, and Badinger are all substitutes, and there are also NBDL players. But they seem to be different when they get to your team."
"The player's self-quality and can't play well without working hard, and no one can mention it. But some players just miss that chance. I'm a little skeptical that you're a professional sports program anymore. Or you guys don't watch the Miami game at all. I saw something on the Internet that I didn't know if it was real and took it as a topic, am I right? ~”
After Chen finished saying this, the host didn't answer for a long time. Obviously, he was a little unprepared for Chen Yinan's answer.
"Okay~ It seems that our guest tonight has a strong ability to expand. Let's get straight to the point, otherwise I'll have to take care of your beer and some delicious desserts that can't be named later~"
Immediately after the host made a few antics around, the show returned to the conversation after the music played around him.
"So, is Williamson the main player of your team now?"
"He's not, he's going to play as a substitute in some games"
"But this substitute seems to be the MVP of your team in a few games~"
"It's true, the same time, the same treatment, the results he played in those times naturally show that the player has a good talent or luck in terms of individual ability."
"Will he be the main player of your team in the future? Or are you going to face a new restructuring? ”
"I basically don't have much access to this. It's just that this is some consideration by the management. The players are doing well on the field, and naturally it should be the result that the coach or the management should want to see. ”
"So, if Williamson wasn't on the team right now, the Nets would have to lose a few more games, right?"
"Not necessarily, and we don't think much about it. It's like we're not bored thinking about your questions. Chen looked at the host with a somewhat serious expression when he said this.
"So you don't want to answer my question head-on, do you? ~ That's fine, we won't ......"
"I also like to watch TV shows on the couch. But do I watch less shows like yours? When I leave or the next day, will you make fun of this as a gimmick? Oh look, the Nets coach didn't dare to respond to my question, is it really their team that can make the playoffs, I doubt it~~ Is that so? ”
Chen found that the atmosphere at the scene immediately changed from the scene of some laughter just now to quiet again.
"Then you're going to answer my question, aren't you?" The host laughed as if he had triumphed.
"What I'm going to say is. Even if some teams have superstars, they don't always win. A winning streak doesn't mean it's always there. But without superstars or star players, or good blue-collar players, the team doesn't have much protection. I don't think Williamson or even some of the current Nets players will play well in the future."
Chen motioned for himself to take a sip of water. The moderator didn't say anything during this time.
"Then I can also have a fight with you in the later games without Williamson, what do you think. Let's watch and play something, kiss the donkey's ass? ”
“......”
"You don't have the courage to kiss the ass of a donkey, and you dare to tell me this? Well, if I lose, I'll volunteer to give 20 times my salary that day to the players on the team to go out and play. As a punishment for the fact that I may have been a little reckless to tell you this today. But if you lose, kiss the leg of the stool at the table next to you, and apologize as you recklessly going to talk to the guest about something that might not be funny. ”
"It seems that Chen is not what we are talking about. I want to say okay wow~ Then let's make a bet~ It's decided, you lose the game, how about sharing the number you said with the players and recording it as a video and posting it on the Internet? The host said with a serious team with a smile.
"That's it. Now this show is a little bit more interesting," Chen said to the host as he sat up a little straighter.
"If you don't kiss the donkey's butt, maybe we don't have a donkey here~ I ...... that day"
The moderator continued. In the following time, the two of them also returned to normal conversations. This show also blew up the Internet again the next day!
......
"I mean, you're too bold, aren't you? Have you forgotten who we're going to be against? The agent said to Chen on the other end of the phone while watching the video.
"If I don't take it, they should have a show like this. They are clearly biased and looking at my team. There was a brief silence on the other end after Chen finished speaking.
"Well, I've seen what you said in the video. If we lose the game, we can make sense. But it's still risky to do this, I'll watch what kind of show it is next time and then call you there, let's do it first, it's useless to say anything at this point."
After all, it was the agent who asked him to come over, so he didn't say much.
Last night's final Nets game ended with Quincy beating the Charlotte Hornets 131-130 in the last 4 seconds! In the end, Jeremy Lin, Williamson and Russell were all locked in the case of Quincy taking over the basketball and hitting a three-point shot hollow shot!
Next up is the Philadelphia 76ers! Maybe it's going to break the bill this time, Chen thought to himself.
"Have you read the news lately?" After Chen finished speaking, he immediately knew the answer in everyone's smiles.
"Well, you don't deliberately lose on the field, do you?" Chen was joking with the players, and his face was not so serious.
"No, we'll let you die with the score behind~" Jeremy Lin said with a smile, and everyone laughed after Chen immediately made the action of being shot.
"Coach, since I don't have anything to do with this game, I think I ......"
"What do you want? Holiday? ~Doors~ came to watch the game," Chan said to Williamson right away.
"No, I want to train on our other venues."
"It's OK~ Just train for two hours, and the rest of the time is free" Chen directly agreed to Williamson's request after hearing it.
Come to Barclays Centre. On the other pitch, which was a little deserted, Williamson had already changed into his training clothes and started to warm up.
"On the inside, the opponent's Embis's ability in the league is quite solid. So I mean you're stepping up your attack on the outside, you know? Chen said to his players in the dressing room.
After a while, the players came on the court to warm up, and the 76ers started today, Embiid, Johnson, Simmons, Bayless, and Redick. Iverson and another champion sat on the sidelines watching the game.
The starting lineup on this side of the Nets is Mozgov, Quincy, Jonathan, Jeremy Lin and Crabbe. At this time, Chen also felt that he was a little impulsive last night, but what the host said was really not very good.
Shortly after talking on the phone with his agent yesterday morning, the Nets' Atkinson made a phone call. What Chen didn't expect was that Atkinson was still asking Chen if there was anything going on. In the end, I just said a few words about relaxing and coaching the game, and it was nothing.
For Atkinson's side, it feels like it's just a game, but it's a big deal that Chen Yinan, this guy, will be over with some money for what he said~ And he is also quite interested in watching this game.
Embiid took the lead and passed to Simmons. The latter jumped directly and hit a 2-point shot! The current 76ers can slowly become a traditional powerhouse in the East in terms of strength!
In the pre-game vote of netizens, the Nets' support rate was only 31%, and now it is estimated that the final maximum will not exceed 35%. Everyone feels that Chen would basically not be able to beat the opponent in this game without Williamson.
Crabbe took Lin's pass and went to the front court to hit a three-point shot! In this case, Egypt's Diyus will not be able to play, and the Nets' forward line will basically be more problematic when Williamson has not come to this game now.
At least it doesn't take much advantage of rebounding and physical confrontation. Embiid took the lead and scored immediately after taking the basketball! 4:3! Jeremy Lin carried the ball to the frontcourt and hit a three-point jumper after fooling Bayless, Redick and Jonathan! 6:4!
The Nets started the game well, and the team felt that shooting more threes might give the Brooklyn side some advantage or give them some buffer time if the score was going to be behind.
Bayless slowed down a bit in pace and passed straight to Redick in the middle of the half. The latter jumped straight back and hit a three-pointer! 7:6!
There are a few shooters in the opposing team! And there is Embiid on the inside, and there must be confrontation and confrontation on the front line, and the speed must be as fast as the champion Simmons!
And the other team's youngest champion, Fultz, is also steadily improving! Against an average team, the 76ers are still very confident of winning the game.
Jonathan took the basketball and didn't go past Simmons. Quincy took the basketball and turned around and was directly capped by Embiid! Redick took the basketball and went to the frontcourt, Simmons came over immediately behind him and got the basketball and scored a dunk! 9:6!
Crabbe slowly dribbled across the halfcourt, and Quincy took the ball again and passed it to Mozgov. The latter's layup was directly blocked by Embiid. Lin got the basketball and turned past Bayless and scored on a jumper! 9:8!
In these games, the Nets will also be eager to see what they look like without Williamson. But just think about it before this game. After this happened, they also found it funny, Chen had inadvertently done something they thought but couldn't speak.
After Simmons' three-pointer missed, Jonathan got the rebound and hit the ground and passed to Lin. Quincy hit a three-pointer right away after running to the bottom corner on the other side and picking up Lin's pass! 11:9!
Originally, it was a game that was not taken too seriously, but after the events of that night broke out, now there are more people watching. Barclays Centre Arena also has a lot more fans today...... Everyone wants to see who will win in the end, Chen and the host.
And the players at this end of Brooklyn are looking at the playoffs in addition to the current game! In the physical training arranged after Chen's return, the players' vitality on the field has been significantly improved!
Naturally, they also want to win more games so that they can enter the playoffs quickly and smoothly! So now, the state of the Nets has changed a lot!
After Redick's three-pointer was missed, Embiid got the rebound and passed to Johnson behind him. The latter's jump shot was not followed by Olajuwon II to directly make up for the points!! 11:11!
Crabbe quickly arrived in the front court, Jonathan took Crabbe's pass and went in to take over Embis, and he had been waiting for a long time, and it was a big pot in the past! Lin immediately picked up the basketball and passed it to Crabbe. And the latter did not choose to shoot right away.
