One Thousand and Seventy-One. True-Lord!
October 3, 2012, U.S. time, the Grizzlies media day.
At noon, Grizzlies officials and the Memphis City Hall jointly announced that starting from 2013, January 7th every year, which is Sun Ce’s birthday, will become an official holiday in Memphis - Lords Day.
Sun Ce himself will be inaugurated as the honorary mayor of Memphis on January 7.
The highway leading from Memphis International Airport to downtown Memphis was renamed Lords Boulevard.
Sun Ce said in an interview: "This is really an honor. I didn't expect to get such an honor. I just play hard. The reason why I work hard is that I like basketball and want to win more in the best basketball league." Many honors, so I play hard.
I can expect that the fans in our country will like me, but I did not expect that so many people will like me in a foreign country. For this reason, I will work harder on the basketball court.
Thanks. "
…
It was rare for Sun Ce not to talk nonsense or end the topic with a single sentence during the interview, but to accept interviews from reporters from all over the world.
When the Memphis City Hall announced this matter, it really shocked the whole world!
Most other countries and regions mainly watch the excitement, with China and the United States having the greatest impact.
The United States is relatively fine. There are also players whose names are used to name local streets and festivals. There are also NBA players who actually became mayors after retiring. However, foreign players are still the first, but Sun Ce is the first. An NBA player who combines festivals, honorary mayors, and street names, the three highest honors that can theoretically be given to non-politicians!
Some media felt that Memphis City Hall went too far in licking Sun Ce, but the locals were happy! They can't control it.
James, who liked it in advance, was the first NBA player to send a congratulatory message and forwarded the news on Twitter and Facebook.
NBA officials, Warriors, Suns, and Lakers also liked and retweeted it on social media.
In China, it exploded!
This kind of thing has attracted the attention of domestic politicians, and the domestic media has vigorously publicized it. It is the Golden Week of National Day, the Mother's Day, and the government also wants to use Sun Ce's honor in sports to promote it.
In the news broadcast program on the evening of October 4th, domestic time, Sun Ce was interviewed. In addition to explaining the particularity of these three honors, Sun Ce occupied 1 minute and 03 seconds of prime time news broadcast programs broadcast live on all satellite TV stations across the country. Bell time!
Sun Ce's news is overwhelming on the Internet. Even people who don't watch sports programs or follow sports have heard of Sun Ce's name.
Some people who are in the media industry and also pay attention to the NBA player industry saw Sun Ce's interview on the news broadcast and found that this guy is a thief! During the interview, he held a pair of goggles in his right hand, and kept moving the balance bracelet on his right wrist with his left hand. There was also a strap on his left hand...
Moreover, on Weibo, in addition to the fact that Sun Ce became the honorary mayor of the United States, which became the number one hot search, there are also several hot searches.
"Little Overlord's bracelet", "Little Overlord's goggles", "Little Overlord's hand strap", these three keywords have also become popular searches, and the most popular ones are also accompanied by "Where to buy" Those who work in the media industry can easily tell the words "genuinely authentic" at a glance. This is a hot search item to buy!
Originally, Sun Ce's products were sold well in China, but most of them were copycats. Now that Sun Ce's peripheral products are sold in domestic NBA flagship stores and online direct stores, they are bound to become more popular!
…
When the news was talking about Sun Ce, at Yao Ming's house in Dallas, Yao Ming slapped the table and said to Ye Li: "Look, look, I shouldn't have stayed in Houston for so many more years. How do people treat Xiao Ming?" Overlord? The red guys from Team Rocket who started the Western Expedition..."
I'm jealous!
Yao Ming is really envious!
The benefits he brought to the Rockets,
No less than Sun Ce! Even more, after all, he is a pioneer, but the Rockets have never helped him obtain these.
And Yao Ming saw from the news that Grizzlies owner Robert Pera has been communicating with the Memphis government about this matter. Of course, Sun Ce helped the Grizzlies win the championship, so he received greater praise. Yao Ming himself felt that Not comparable.
Honorary Mayor Yao Ming does not have extravagant expectations, but at least give him the second-level honors of "Yao Mingri" and "Yao Ming Street"!
Ye Li saw Yao Ming complaining like a child, which was rare. She wanted to laugh but was afraid of irritating her husband's fragile little heart...
Just when Yao Ming was so sore, the phone rang. It was Mark Cuban, the owner of the Mavericks...
…
On October 5th, Beijing time, from late the night before yesterday to today, the news that Sun Ce became the honorary mayor of an American city was still being publicized in China. It was the National Day holiday, and the government required major online media to make headlines about it.
But at 8 o'clock in the evening, another news about Chinese players playing in the NBA came!
Yao Ming, the former center of the Chinese men's basketball team, was awarded the title of Honorary Citizen by the Dallas City Hall.
Moreover, in order to thank Yao Ming for bringing the Mavericks a championship, the Dallas City Hall sets September 12th every year, which is Yao Ming's birthday, as a holiday - Yao Ming Day...
…
…
Watching the news about the establishment of "Yao Mingri" in Dallas, Sun Ce felt an emotion called "stubbornness".
From the news, Cuban asked the Dallas City Hall for this, and he also promised that the film and television base that he had not yet selected would be located in Dallas, and would create 0 jobs for Dallas during the construction phase of the film and television base, and would also create more than 300 permanent jobs in the long term... He helped Yao Ming get the honors of "Yao Ming Day" and Honorary Citizen.
This also proves that the Mavericks attach great importance to Yao Ming, but... Sun Ce always feels that they are targeting him.
But Sun Ce doesn't want to care about this matter anymore.
Indeed, because of the honor given by the Memphis City Hall, he has become very popular, and John can also operate and expand their cooperative industries, but it's tiring!
It was agreed that yesterday, that is, the 3rd, was the interview day, but he was busy from morning to night today accepting interviews from major media, and he was on the News Broadcast for the second time and on Time Magazine for the second time.
Fortunately, all the work that should be done is done, and it is time to enjoy the benefits next. Fame can be transformed into wealth!
But the heat will eventually pass. After the strict teaching of Coach Hollins, communication with Bill Duffy, and accepting the media interview bombardment, Sun Ce calmed down.
This is all due to playing well. He is also a Chinese player, and the later big devil is notorious. Therefore, only playing well can be successful, and you can't be blown away!
After a night of rest, the next morning, Sun Ce came to the stadium early to train as usual.
But now there is a problem that makes Sun Ce unable to concentrate on training.
The day before yesterday, Larry Sanders skipped the interview day. On the training day yesterday, although Sun Ce did not train because of the interview, others continued to train after receiving additional interviews. Larry Sanders skipped again!
Sun Ce had heard that Larry Sanders was a very self-centered person. Sometimes he disappeared without giving any reason and only appeared during the game. I didn't expect this to be true!
But Sun Ce learned that Larry Sanders trained very hard and seriously in the first few days of the training camp. Moreover, Larry Sanders said in an interview that he hoped to get an early contract extension this season.
Sun Ce knew that Larry Sanders was working hard in order to get a big contract and make enough money to retire and create, so he worked hard.
But hard work is hard work, and suddenly he stopped working hard... and in the original time and space, Larry Sanders really played at the level of a million-dollar annual salary in the new season.
Unable to concentrate, he returned to the lounge and sat down, thinking for a long time...
"Is it because of what I said that this artist retired on the spot and stopped playing? Damn! Then I, Sun, will be guilty of a big crime!"
Sun Ce regretted it. Why did he meddle in other people's business?
Even if he retired in the end, he retired with money. Now he retired like this, with only two years of rookie contracts. Most black people have no experience in financial management... Isn't it possible that a former NBA literary youth will starve to death?
Sun Ce really regretted it, and went to the gym to vent his anger by lifting weights...
...
At 10 o'clock in the morning, Sun Ce came out of the gym with guilt and thought about how to turn Larry Sanders back to the way he was. When he returned to the training ground, he actually saw Larry Sanders and Lopez Jr. training their positioning skills under the guidance of defensive assistant coach Dave Joerger, Yi Jianlian, and Gasol Jr. Both of them were centers with excellent physical fitness, wild playing style, and rough confrontation. The positioning training was very intense.
Interestingly, they were yelled at by Dave Joerger: "Stuck in position, give the rebound to the lord who grabbed the rebound and counterattacked, be ready to counterattack, pay attention to the lord's movements at any time, you have to take the rebound if he doesn't have the chance to get it back..."
"..."Looking at the passionate Larry Sanders, Sun Ce didn't know how to describe his current mood...
After a while, after the training of Lopez Jr. and Larry Sanders, everyone's personal training before the team training was over. Coach Hollins came out to assign training tasks to each assistant coach. Bickerstaff Jr. helped Nash and Klay Thompson, Paul George, Yi Jianlian, and Lopez Jr. practice running and gunning, Sun Ce and Larry Sanders practiced pick-and-roll cooperation... Each had their own combination training tasks, including the 9 training camp contract players signed in the past few days, all had their own training arrangements.
Randolph is the most special one among them. Coach Hollins personally supervised him to lose weight...
Sun Ce and Larry Sanders were assigned together, and two players under contract for training camp were brought as sparring partners. It was obvious that Larry Sanders was trained as a substitute for Jordan, but the two had very different characteristics, so it was just a trial.
Before Sun Ce, who was full of doubts, asked why, Larry Sanders said on the way to the visiting team training ground with Stockton: "Thank you, Lord. If it weren't for you, I didn't know that I was so despicable. I felt so ashamed to use basketball as a tool to make money. This is simply a blasphemy to art!
And this is unfair to basketball. This is the sport I love. I really feel ashamed. If it weren't for your casual words, Lord, I wouldn't have realized that I was so shameful.
I will never use basketball as a tool to make money again. This is the sport I love. I will infuse the same love into basketball and art..."
"The host successfully used words to make Larry Sanders recognize himself again and regain his original love for basketball. The light of the A-level leader was triggered, and Larry Sanders' belief in loving basketball was strengthened..." Are you still looking for "I Don't Want to Be the Boss" free novels?
