Chapter 734: Youth is not a storm

Throughout the month of December, the craze that Chen Mu sparked around the world was extremely rare in the entire NBA, nay, in the entire history of competitive sports.

75 points in a single game is the first bombshell dropped by Chen Mu on the road to the king in the new season. After the bomb was detonated, new news about Chen Mu emerged one after another.

UA Basketball Division was established, and Chen Mu was the largest shareholder.

People are surprised that UA could give such treatment to the largest shareholder of a superstar, and even more surprised that all this is not some kind of clumsy hype.

Because UA and Chen Mu came forward at the same time, confirmed the news and held a press conference.

"Chen, you are now living in the UA Basketball Division and becoming the largest shareholder of the UA Basketball Division, won't this affect your big contract with NIKE?"

At the press conference, a reporter asked a rather sharp question.

"No, because I have diluted some of my stake to NIKE, so, WIN-WIN, isn't it?"

With the help of Duffy and UA's calculating legal staff, as well as NIKE's years of experience and strength in the basketball industry, if this problem can't be solved, these three parties can really go to ****.

The news of UA has not subsided, and Oracle, the world's largest provider of commercial database solutions and one of the largest leading companies in the U.S. IT industry, has also broken a news.

Chen Mu has become the image spokesperson of Oracle's latest database product line.

There is almost no oracle bone script of the orthodox image spokesperson, and this time the news broke out with Chen Mu, but it is a genuine image endorsement, and there is no wordplay component.

"Why choose an image spokesperson? Because we want to make money. Why Chen? Because we want to open up the Chinese market. Why not Yao? Because Chan is just as ...... as our products"

Oracle boss Larry Ellison, who was interviewed, just finished his "Iron Man 2" film promotion campaign 3 days ago, just 2 days ago with his group of good "friends", in the Pacific Ocean came to a thrilling fighter chase battle, almost caused international security problems, 1 day ago just announced that his rock band "Gray Jellyfish" is about to release their first studio album.

At this time, when it comes to Chen Mu, the super boss in the shopping mall, an absolute character, without scruples and reservations, he opened his mouth to say the company's new product line SLOGEN after Chen Mu's endorsement.

"Fill in the data, we can do anything."

THIS SLOGEN IS STRAIGHTFORWARD AND CONCISE, AND IT WAS EVEN SELECTED INTO THE TOP 10 SLOMEN LIST OF THE YEAR BY A BUSINESS MAGAZINE THAT YEAR.

With Chen Mu's 75-point explosive performance not long ago, it is naturally the best time to make the news public at this time.

The news kept flying in the air, and Chen Mu's popularity also rose with these newsβ€”if it could be even higher.

And after the fierce battle with the Cavaliers, in back-to-back games, Philadelphia unexpectedly lost at home. This loss gave the Cavaliers a chance to win a rebound victory, and LeBron cut back-to-back 40+ quasi-triple-doubles on the Wizards' head as if venting, making the Wizards players and fans unspeakable.

The record was leveled again, and then in the December game, Philadelphia and the Cavaliers each suffered another defeat, and won all the other games.

By the way, the Eastern Conference Player of the Month in November was still taken away by LeBron.

Even though Chen Mu has a terrifying performance of 75 points in a single game, considering the data, influence on the team and other factors, there are obviously more people who support LeBron. The first grievance between the two can be regarded as having an ending. But everyone knows that this ending is only temporary.

After this feud is over, the competition for the Eastern Conference Player of the Month will be more fierce next month.

Time flies, and in the East, the Cavaliers and 76ers maintain their victorious pace, and the occasional nap does not mean that the two lions are no longer good.

The Celtics, on the other hand, gradually came out after the slump of the new rotation at the beginning of the season. The depth of the squad is starting to show. Even though Rivers frantically rested the Big Three in various rotations, the Celtics in December still won various games.

By mid-to-late December, the Celtics' record had crept behind the 76ers and Cavaliers, ranking third in the East.

The difference in wins is only 1.5 games.

In the west, the situation has not changed much from previous years, but some new trends can be gradually seen.

Kobe Bryant and his Lakers are still unstoppable, and they can do anything in the West. Some people have even compared this Lakers team to the Super Lakers who killed invincible opponents all over the world in 2001. You know, the team that the Lakers almost completed the feat of sweeping the playoffs to win the championship, and it is also considered by many Lakers fans to be the most dominant team among the three consecutive championships in the Lakers OK era.

Today's Kobe Bryant, with his own efforts and the perfect cooperation with the three highs, actually makes everyone have such ideas and comparisons, I have to say, this is the success of paranoia.

Behind the Lakers, the second-oldest Suns are still running wildly. There have been many commentators, reporters, and fans who have begun to see that the Suns' overall offense seems to have changed somewhat.

Nash, too, has changed a bit.

But is this change good or bad? Is this good news for the Suns, or is it a sign of the imminent fall of the Phoenix Immortals?

No one knows the answer.

After the Suns, in the third to eighth positions in the West, there was a super scuffle.

The Trail Blazers, Jazz, Thunder, Spurs, Mavericks, Nuggets and many other teams are all competing for each other's rankings.

The wild West is still there, but the trend this season is already clear.

"It's the giants competing for supremacy!"

Non-match days, Breakfast Club.

Chen Mu pulled the equipment, panting incessantly, and while practicing, he said to the rookie not far away: "East, we, Celtic, knights." West, Suns, Lakers. Five teams, battle for dominance...... Call! ”

"Don't the other teams have a chance?"

Stephen Curry officially proposed to Chen Mu three days ago that he wanted to join the well-known breakfast club.

Today, it is still in the inspection period.

"Nope...... Call! ”

Chen Mu still has a few sets to finish the exercises on the muscles in the back half of his arms, his face is flushed, and speaking at this time actually affects his breath very much.

But Curry rarely had some brain-opening ideas to ask himself for advice, and it was not right that he was too cold.

"What about the Trailblazers......? I think they've been really strong this season! ”

Curry was thinking about this.

"The Trailblazers are not good, the strength is very good, and the thickness of the various positions is also very good, but ...... Call! ”

Finally finished the last group, Chen Mu let out a sigh of relief, put his hands down, and the whole person was about to collapse.

"Whew...... The problem with the Trail Blazers is that they don't have a coach who is good enough. ”

"Is McMillan bad......?"

Curry asked.

"It's not bad, McMillan is very good, especially with new people, it's a good choice. Be patient, disciplined, tactical, and don't let young people fight casually...... Thanks AndrΓ©. ”

Taking the towel thrown by Iguodala, Chen Mu wiped his sweat and said, "McMillan is not bad, it's 'not good enough'." ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Not good enough? ”

Curry was a little puzzled.

Why isn't it good enough?

Why do I want to join a breakfast club and go through a "scouting period" first?

Two questions are in my mind at the same time.

"McMillan has been working hard for a few years, the overall roster of the Trail Blazers has been built, the discipline is there, and the foundation for the young players has been laid."

Chen Mu replied: "What is Roy's data this year?" Seems like 23+5+6? In the West, the top three players at the point guard position are selected! ”

"It's just important to say that Aldridge is 20+9 this season, can open up space, and can also play under the basket. Oden is about to fully mature, 19+15, if I don't work harder, the rebounding statistics will be surpassed by him. ”

"The cap has been overtaken by him."

Iguodala floated by, dropping a word.

"He's tall!"

Chen Mu glanced at Iguodala, looked back at Curry, and continued to say seriously: "Let me ask you, what data do you think the three guys I mentioned just now would probably get if they played in an open-system team?" Like us, or a team like the Suns? ”

"Hmm...... Brandon Roy's words, 25+6+7 is no problem. Aldridge 22+10 bar! Reference Bosh? Auden...... 21, 22 points, 16 rebounds or so, 3 blocks or so? That's probably it, my prediction. ”

Pretty precise.

Chen Mu was silent on the surface, but nodded secretly in his heart.

It's about the same as my own prediction.

"McMillan's ability has become a constraint for the Trailblazers."

Suddenly, Chen Mu threw out a conclusion.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Ha? ”

Korver, Milicic, Carney and others who were passing by also stopped and listened to the conversation between Chen Mu and Curry with interest.

"I mean, the potential of this team of young people is terrible, and everybody's all looking at the Thunder and saying that the Thunder are a youth storm. But in fact, the Trail Blazers were already a team with full potential two years ago, and they are not inferior to the Thunder today. The reason why it failed to set off the 'storm' is that it seems to be a bit tepid and the progress is not obvious, and the reason is very simple. ”

Chen Mu looked at his teammates and said with a smile: "McMillan's ability has reached a bottleneck. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ You mean, if you have a famous handsome, the Trailblazers are about to take off? ”

Korver was thoughtful.

"You don't need a handsome."

Chen Mu waved his hand and said: "The tactical literacy and good habits that the pioneers have cultivated over the years are enough to be in place, and they don't need to be as imaginative as us in terms of tactics, they are not used to it, and the results may not be good." ”

"They need a veteran coach, a veteran coach who has experience with this kind of young team, has a certain level of attainment in defense and attack, but it doesn't need to be very creative, as long as they know how to make good use of the potential of young players and guide them out, it's enough."

"It's better to have enough prestige, the character of the elders, to be able to suppress these young people and give them more spiritual guidance."

Milicic was a rare participant in the discussion, opening his mouth to analyze.

"That's right."

Chen Mu nodded and smiled.

"That's the Zen master, right?"

Carney's thoughts jumped fast.

"There's no way the Lakers will let them go!"

Chen Mu gave Carney a chestnut, shook his head and smiled: "You don't have to be so 'high-end', non-champion coaches can also be." ”

"Who else can meet those conditions, it's still relatively ...... Easy to dig? ”

Iguodala returned with a drink.

"You don't need to dig, you have it."

Taking the drink and opening it, Chen Mu took a sip and said with a smile: "Coach Cheeks." (To be continued.) )
