Chapter 645: Jianghu Nickname (1)

"Chan - Philadelphia 76ers core player, superstar, nickname call for this is over! #SO-LONG! 'Chinese Kid'! ”

Soon after the contest ended, Twitter about Chen Mu's nickname went viral on the Internet. Previously, because Chen Mu did not perform well in this game for most of the time, the number of retweets on Twitter was not very high. Most of the retweets were also malicious guys, using this opportunity to discredit Chen Mu.

In the last three minutes of the game, exciting performances emerged one after another, Chen Mu scored in a row, won a wonderful performance, and finally succeeded in the reversal. So that the tweet that solicited nicknames finally got back on the normal track.

Fans began to discuss passionately what Chen Mu's new nickname should be.

Not only fans, but also many football stars, celebrities, ball critics, etc., have also participated in the discussion of Chen Muxin's nickname. It's a new way for a new era, and the nicknames of the stars in the past rarely come through the Internet.

For the older generation of stars, the origin of the nickname is simple. Basically, some famous commentators, ball critics, reporters, etc., in a certain game, in a certain interview, in a certain report, suddenly came up with a name. And then everyone listens, huh? That's a good name! And so the nickname began to catch on.

What's more, some of the nicknames are simply officially designated by the NBA. It's just that when it is really transmitted to the public eye, it is not the NBA official himself who comes forward to say it, but through the mouths of commentators and reporters, and finally it is widely circulated.

For example, "Flyer" Jordan, "Big Dream" Olajuwon, "Admiral" Robinson, "Smiling Assassin" Thomas, "Magic" Johnson and so on. The sources of these nicknames are quite "orthodox". has a certain NBA official background, which can be regarded as the nickname of "NBA Official Recognition Seal".

Then, as the influence of the NBA increased day by day, especially after the emergence of Jordan, the NBA was gradually promoted to the world. The nicknames of the new stars come from different sources.

"Answer" Iverson. "Wonder Boy" Kidd, "Big Shark" O'Neal and many more. Some of these nicknames are the praise and praise of the stars to each other, some are the heartfelt sighs of the fans, some are the sudden whimsical words of the commentator in a certain game, and some are because of homophony and so on.

There are also some nicknames that come from more interesting sources, such as the "Jumping Soul" Alstom. This nickname is the temporary commentary on the street and the fans shouted when the street ball king played on the street court and swept all directions. These monikers have a more legendary nature. It also matches the player's own style of play.

In addition, when it comes to nicknames, we have to mention one person, a superstar who pushed the NBA entertainment to the extreme - Shaq O'Neal.

O'Neill's own nicknames are almost all of his own, and they are rather nonsensical. What a big diesel, great Aristotle and so on, these nicknames when first heard. It's impossible to imagine how O'Neill's mind came up with so many yes and nos.

In addition to love to give yourself a nickname. O'Neill also likes to give people nicknames. The more famous ones such as "Truth" Pierce, that is, O'Neal sincerely sighed at Pierce's amazing performance after playing a game with Pierce's Celtics, and when he was interviewed, he was inspired to say that Pierce "is the truth on the field". So this nickname spread all at once.

There are also such as "half-human and half-god" Vince Carter. It was also written by O'Neill. Carter actually has several nicknames, including his own favorite "shark" - a closer look at Carter's young game footage shows that he often puts his hands on the sides of his head after a beautiful dunk and then lands on the ground. It is said that he is imitating the appearance of a shark.

In Carter's own eyes, the shark is ferocious, bloodthirsty, swift, and deadly, similar to his own style of play. But in fact, in the eyes of fans, Carter has the deadly feeling of a shark in addition to the explosiveness of the moment of the dunk. Most of the time, Carter plays more of a "enjoy basketball" feel.

Carter is happy to play, not only for himself, but also for the people who watch him play. So, sharks? Actually, it's just his own liking.

In addition, there are more "official" Carter nicknames, such as "The Canadian Flyer" - Carter only played in Toronto, not Canadian at all. Another example is "UFO" - the nickname is quite apt, the UFO is so high that no one can catch it, only to watch his taillights flash dry eyes.

But these nicknames, multiplied by two, are not as apt as O'Neill's nickname for Carter, which is half-human and half-god.

When Carter takes off to dunk, when Carter dodges and moves, when Carter hits a long-range three-point shot, when Carter spins in the air to score, these moments, isn't Carter just as elegant and terrifying as a demigod and demigod?

There is also O'Neal's proud work - The Flash, which could not be more appropriate to describe Wade. Wade's amazing close-fitting short-hitting style, which is as amazing as a dagger, is indeed like The Flash, which is unforgettable.

I have to say that O'Neill does have a deep skill in the matter of nicknames.

But this time, when the TV station interviewed O'Neal, who had been eliminated from the team, and asked him if he had any ideas about Chen Muxin's nickname, O'Neal's statement was too nonsensical.

"Chan is a master flyer and I love his game so much. He's an all-round guy and he's very dominant on the pitch. What I like most about him is how much he controls the basket. Interior players, of course, have to dig a point under the basket to be enough for a man! ”

O'Neal looked at the camera with that trademark cynical look on his face and smiled: "As you know, I've always liked interior players with a similar style to me. So I like Chan too, he's amazing, I love him. I think the shark's name can be passed on. But there's only one shark, and that's me! ”

"Uh...... So? ”

The reporter's face was full of black lines, what are you talking about??!

"So, Chen is from China, and I learned that his hometown is a place called Henan. Therefore, I decided to call him - Henan Shark! Hahaha! What do you think! It's not domineering enough! Hahaha......"

The on-site interview connection was interrupted instantly.

"That...... For reasons that are well known, our on-site connection has come to an end. Continuing with the topic just now, the nickname of the Chinese kid is obviously no longer enough to show Chen's dominance on the field now. It's time for us to give China a small ...... Well, I'm sorry to say I'm used to it, haha! It's time for Chan to give him a new nickname! ”

The host said: "It's been a day since the contest today, and we also invited Justin Philadelphia, a reporter from Philadelphia City Daily, who launched a nickname solicitation campaign on Twitter at the time. Let's ask Justin to share with us how many funny nicknames fans gave Chen in this nickname collection event. ”

Lao Mei's TV station is so entertaining, even things like nickname collection can be specially made a program to broadcast live, which is really ......

However, this is also an important program to fill the live broadcast time before the start of the second game of the Western Conference Finals tonight, and it is very eye-catching to choose such a theme, and it is understandable for the TV station to do so.

"Ahem, before tonight's show starts, I roughly sorted it out."

It's not the first time Justin has been on a live TV show, but it's the first time it's been broadcast live on TV at the national level. I'm still a little nervous, but fortunately, I've prepared well enough, and I already have a statistical list of nicknames in my hand, so I just need to read it from the book and read it.

"After sorting, some nicknames that don't have so many supporters, we show them to you in the form of subtitle screens, so that you can watch, take pictures, interact with us online, and comment. On the official website of our Philadelphia City Newspaper, there is also a special page for Chen Xin's nickname, which will list all the nicknames we have collected, and everyone can vote for them. ”

There are a lot of nicknames on the screen, don't you say, there are really people in them who have the same nickname ideas as O'Neill.

What the hell is the "flying Henan people"......! 23333333

In addition, the official website of the Philadelphia City Newspaper was also listed on the screen, and at this moment, it is estimated that countless fans are logging on to the Philadelphia City Journal's website, preparing to vote.

"It's a good cooperation!"

In the Philadelphia team center's prep room, the Philadelphia generals gathered after a half-day of tactical and recovery training. Even Stefansky came, sitting next to Chen Mu and smiling, with a smug face.

"They have earned popularity and traffic, we have earned popularity and communication, so that the sales of jerseys and derivative products have to go up a lot!"

Chen Mu looked at Stefansky with appreciation, the latter winked at Chen Mu and said proudly: "Of course!" Are you really here to make soy sauce? As a team manager, you have to be a bit business-minded! ”

"Huh, what's next? Launching a product with a selected nickname? Chen Mu asked with interest.

"What's more! This voting will continue until the start of the offseason, before the draft meeting. That's when you can keep everyone's attention on our team and you. When it came to the draft, we took Curry, which sparked some heated discussions and discussions. This is tahini festival and sustainable development! ”

Stefansky shook his head triumphantly.

"The sesame seeds are blooming! Tahini, you big-headed ghost! Chen Mu complained.

Then Stefansky began to talk about a series of marketing strategies about Chen Muxin's nickname, and Chen Mu also benefited a lot from listening. I couldn't help but think of the new UA basketball business that will be established in the near future, and I had a lot of ideas.

In the future, if you want to make money in the mall, it seems that it is not possible to only play ball. No, isn't there a good teacher sitting next to you?

In anticipation, Justin spoke.

"Next, I will count down to announce Chen's new nickname, the five choices with the highest support rate on the Internet. First up is the fifth-place ......! (To be continued.) )
