Injuries in basketball only make me stronger

After hearing the host's words, Johnson and Barkley both laughed.

"At the rookie level, I am optimistic about Bogut of the Bucks, he is the No. 1 pick!"

"As for the 76ers' rookie, he is just a second-round pick. Although he performed well in the preseason, after all, the main players on both sides were not on the court, so the data can't explain anything."

The sports channels in the United States and those in China are different in nature, resulting in a huge gap in program style.

Simply put, the biggest difference lies in profitability. It is also a sports channel. CCTV Sports Channel is non-profit and has only about 2 billion yuan in revenue every year (1.5 billion yuan in odd years and more than 2 billion yuan in even years).

, but ESPN has become a money-making machine - its valuation has exceeded 50 billion US dollars.

An important reason for such a big difference is that ESPN can create topics and controversies unscrupulously, thereby attracting the audience's attention.

Therefore, when Barkley and Johnson each had their own positions, the first thing the host did was to expand their positions and even guide them to say more explosive things.

For example, Barkley kissing a donkey's butt was an excellent marketing tool. While Yao Ming was successful, it also attracted the attention of the audience. It is said that after Barkley made those remarks, the ratings of the Rockets game increased.

5 percentage points.

But obviously, the 76ers and Bucks in the opening game were not enough to create a hot topic.

As a result, Johnson and Barkley began to express various opinions on the wins and losses of other teams.

Barkley firmly believes that the 76ers can win this game, and his reason is simple and crude: "The 76ers have Iverson and Chris Webber!"

"What kind of reason is this? Do you want to say that superstars can decide the direction of a game?"

"No, no, no, what I want to say is that the league has canceled hand checks. I can't imagine what kind of performance Iverson will have this season. The Bucks' poor defense cannot limit him at all."

Just when the two sides were arguing, the host received a message from the reporter on the scene. His expression suddenly lit up and he interrupted the two people arguing: "An interesting thing happened. We just received news that the Bucks

The No. 1 pick just delivered an interesting conversation, let’s take a look.”

The screen cuts to the Bucks, where the players are being interviewed.

As the rookie No. 1 pick, the outside world is generally paying attention to Bogut's debut. He is the second overseas No. 1 pick after Yao Ming, and many people even compare him with Yao Ming.

The reporter asked: "This is your NBA debut. We expect you to perform at the level of the No. 1 pick in this game. What are your expectations for this game?"

Bogut thought for a while and said: "Very good, I will prove to the world that the team's choice is correct! Also, please don't compare me with Yao Ming... I mean just from the point of my debut. I

I believe I won’t score 0 points and 2 rebounds, hahaha.”

"Do you believe you'll be a good rookie?"

"Of course! There is no doubt about it. In fact, I have been working hard in this direction. Again, don't compare me with Yao Ming, I will be better than him!"

Competing with Yao Ming, he gained more attention for himself, and Bogut was proud of his wit.

When the interview was broadcast back to the studio, both Barkley and Johnson laughed.

Barkley shook his head: "This young No. 1 pick has not yet realized Yao Ming's strength. In fact, I don't think he has the ability to compare with Yao Ming."

Johnson also agreed with the comparison: "Yes, at least from the current point of view, Bogut still has a long way to go."

…

However, Bogut's words caused an uproar in the media. Of course, there was also an element of hype in it, which brought attention to Bogut's game.

Many media criticized Bogut for being too arrogant. You must know that Yao Ming's current status was achieved bit by bit! He was labeled as disrespectful and arrogant.

Compared with Bogut, he seemed unconcerned and even publicly said: "Just wait, of course my debut will be much better than Yao Ming!"

Many celebrities also expressed their opinions on this.

At this moment, a reporter hired by CAA approached Lian Feng.

As the first player signed by CAA, it is natural to give him more exposure. Media interviews are naturally a useful way. Now Lian Feng only performed well in the preseason, and his attention is still very low.

If Lian Xiang performs well in the later games, CAA's channel advantage will be even more obvious.

Originally, CAA only wanted Lian Feng to show his face, and did not expect that an interview would make Lian Feng the center of attention. However, they did not expect that Lian Feng's words would make him a more eye-catching figure than Iverson.

The reporter really asked a few regular questions, and suddenly mentioned Bogut's recent remarks and asked Lian Feng what he thought about it.

I have to say that this question really tickled Lian Feng's nerves.

If asked which player the former NBA forward hated the most, Bogut would undoubtedly rank in the top three.

Looking back on what this guy with bad character had done, Lian Feng was really angry.

In the 2008 Diamond Cup between China and Australia, Yao Ming held Bogut's hammer during the game.

Bogut became so angry that his skills were inferior to those of others. He slapped Yao Ming on the head twice, and once he even slapped Yao Ming to the ground. It was this action that anyone with a discerning eye could see that Bogut's stunts were not as good as those of a talent.

Human tricks.

In addition, when Australia played against its archrival Spain and lost to Spain, they insulted the referee for accepting bribes and gestured to the referee to count money.

After losing to Spain, Bogut loudly insulted the referee and his opponents in the tunnel. After the game, he also criticized China's poor living environment and poor quality of residents on social media. Anyway, he bites people everywhere like a mad dog.

In the NBA, it goes without saying that Australian players are constantly doing all kinds of dirty things.

In this time and space, Bogut once again crossed paths with Yao Ming, using Yao Ming's debut data of 0 points and 2 rebounds as an argument, which made Lian Feng even more angry, so he thought about it and spoke.

"Bogut? I don't know where he got the confidence to compare with Yao Ming. I think his behavior is as ridiculous as a clown. I watched his games before entering the NBA. To be honest, except for those

Other than the disgusting and dirty little move, I can't think of any reason why a team would draft him with the first round pick or the No. 1 pick. In my opinion, the Bucks are crazy."

The reporter was obviously taken aback. When he was interviewing Lian Feng just now, he felt that the Chinese player was as polite as Yao Ming, but he didn't expect that he suddenly changed his style and said such a sharp statement.

But at the same time, his professionalism made the reporter realize that this was a explosive conversation! He became energetic and asked questions quickly.

"Hmm...are you saying that you don't think he deserves the No. 1 pick in the first round?"

Lian Feng spread his hands and said, "Believe me, even my second-round pick is better than him!"

…

The next day, Lian Feng's remarks unsurprisingly dominated the basketball sports headlines of a certain newspaper.

"The second-round pick angrily denounced No. 1 pick Bogut: I can play better than you with my feet!"

Lian Feng flipped through the newspaper and shrugged helplessly. Of course he didn't say that he was better at playing ball with his feet than you. This was hyped up by the media, but he didn't intend to explain.

For a time, the media and public opinion exploded.

On the other hand, before Bogut had time to respond to Lian Feng's remarks, he hurriedly boarded a plane to Philadelphia.

Surprisingly, this game became the focus of attention because of the remarks of the two rookies.
