Eight Hundred and Ninety-Seven. Let Us Suffocate for Our Dreams Together!
"All-star starter? How is it possible..."
Nash rolled his eyes at Sun Ce. He has played 14 games so far this season, averaging 26 minutes per game, scoring 10.5 points and 8.8 assists. His efficiency is indeed good.
But just like Duncan, just because of his good efficiency, it is unlikely that he will make the All-Star bench this season.
As for the All-Star starters Sun Ce mentioned, Nash, Duncan, and Nash are all "has-been superstars", which is even more impossible. It is better to expect that the coaches will select them as All-Star substitutes.
Sun Ce pouted: "We can think of a way, Steve. Anyway, if you get in, you will get in. If you don't, it doesn't matter. It's always right to give it a try, right?"
Nash was moved. It was not difficult to accept that he could not become an All-Star starter. But if he had the opportunity, of course he wanted to fight for it and asked: "What can you do?"
Knowing that Nash would definitely agree, Sun Ce leaned into Nash's ear and said, "We are like this... so... so..."
"Are you kidding me?" Nash was shocked when he heard Sun Ce's words. It took him a while to realize: "Can you still play like this?"
"Of course, it's not illegal, it doesn't go against social morals, it's just canvassing for votes." Sun Ce said, hooking Nash's shoulder.
"But it's too...how did you think of it?" Nash still couldn't accept it.
"No matter how I came up with it, Steve, do you want to try it? It's fun, isn't it?" Sun Ce said with a bad smile.
"It's fun, but isn't it bad to play like this?" Nash felt so ashamed.
"What's wrong...you have to believe me!"
Looking at Sun Ce's sincere eyes, Nash also felt that it was not illegal or disciplinary anyway. Although the idea was a bit incredible, no one had ever done this for an All-Star starter.
But Nash believes that it’s not that no one wants to do it, but that no one has thought of it, and another person may not be able to do it, but Sun Ce seems to be able to do it...
Although he felt that it would be shameful to do so, Nash couldn't help but nodded and agreed.
…
…
The time has come to January 31, 2012, the last day of January.
People have a feeling that they don’t know when it started. Time flies too fast. In the impression, what happened in January last year seems like yesterday, but it has really arrived a year later, and it is the first day of the new year. The month is about to pass.
It's around seven o'clock in the morning. Many students, white-collar workers, and workers... have already gotten up. They habitually watch the news and have breakfast. They are ready to go out after breakfast. They go to school and work. Some elderly people are also ready to go out for a walk and shopping. Go to the supermarket.
Watching news has also changed from reading newspaper news a few years ago to watching TV news. Not only young people, but also older people.
Some people like to read sports news, some like to read financial news, some like to read social news, some people...
At 7:35, the news on some TV stations ended, an advertisement on some TV stations just ended, and a trailer on some TV stations just ended... But at the same moment, the screen switched to a basketball court. .
A basketball fell from the basket, bringing up a cloud of flowers.
Many people wanted to turn off the TV. Suddenly, a deep voice came: "In the world of basketball, the NBA is the stage of dreams."
This voice is quite attractive, and many people chose to take a look at it first. It seems to be an advertisement, and it doesn't take more than two minutes, so it doesn't hurt to take a look.
The TV screen switched to the scene of fans cheering wildly during the game.
"Do you feel like you don't have talent, can't jump high, and don't have explosive power?"
At this time, the scene switched to a player who was blocked on the field because he did not jump high and because he had no explosive power. When he was flanked, his opponent easily squeezed his body and was intercepted. No one else could see his face except the protagonist himself.
"Do you feel that you are not suitable for basketball and want to leave the world of basketball?"
At this time, the screen switched to a scene of a player sitting on the bench in various postures, with his hair not messy at all, and not looking like he had exercised at all. Similarly, the faces of other players around him could not be seen, and special effects were used to transform everyone else. Became a shadow.
"Are you giving up?"
The scene switched to a scene of the player holding the ball alone and standing in an empty arena except for him, with his head lowered.
"But, do you still remember when the dream started?"
At this time, the scene switched to the 1996 draft, and David Stern read out a name on the stage: "In the 1996 NBA Draft, the Phoenix Suns selected Steve Nash from St. Michael's University... …”
Then there was the photo of Nash, who was used as a meme for many years, after being selected to wear a hat with the Suns logo on it. He was so excited that his face was distorted by smiles.
"I don't want to give up!"
At this time, the voice changed and turned into the voice of the person who kept appearing on the TV screen, Steve Nash's own voice.
The scene also switched to a scene of Nash training that was taken who knows how many years ago.
"I can't jump high and I don't have much strength, so I'll try my best to run on the field..."
The screen switched to scenes of Nash's various counterattacks.
"I can't score deep into the basket, so I'll keep training to make myself more accurate!"
Next are pictures of Nash's various mid-range shots.
"I didn't fight, I fell down with a push, but I have a group of trustworthy partners who will help me block the opponent."
The screen switched to the scene of the recent game, Sun Ce came up to help Nash block the opponent. Sun Ce showed his face, but the opponent still used special effects to turn into a shadow, and Nash himself used special effects to turn into his younger appearance.
"I believe that hard work is the hope of success. Without hard work, there will never be hope."
"Chasing dreams, longing for success... I did it!"
The next is the scene of Nash's two consecutive regular season MVP awards.
The audience in front of the TV saw this and became more and more involved. Unconsciously, they became excited as the plot became more and more exciting.
"I am 38 years old now, it seems that I should say goodbye to this stage..."
At this time, Nash's image appeared, which was obviously much older now. He lost collagen and the ravines on his face were much deeper than before. And the picture was when he was eliminated in the playoffs last season and the season before last.
At this time, the fans who were watching the game felt their hearts tighten. Nash looked too ordinary and like an ordinary person at first. The audience watching the game on TV had already been involved. Nash's slightly lonely voice made them feel uncomfortable.
"But I don't want to give up yet!"
The voice suddenly became high-pitched again.
"It's not time for me to stop. I still want to pursue my original dream. It has always been far away, but it is a dream I always want to pursue."
"I am once again on the road to compete for the championship. Maybe I am no longer the MVP or the best player, but I am still on the road and refuse to leave."
The screen switched to a clip of Nash taking the No. 13 jersey handed to him by Chris Wallace at the press conference when he joined the Grizzlies.
The screen turned into an empty stadium with a glowing trophy in the middle of the stadium - the O'Brien Cup. Nash did not appear, and only Nash's words reached the ears of the audience.
"Let's suffocate for our dreams together!"
Then the screen went black, and the audience in front of the TV was moved to tears. Some people were for Nash, they were basketball fans; some were sports fans who loved other sports the most, and were also moved by Nash; some thought of the days when they had worked hard; some regretted not working hard back then; some were ready to work hard...
Just then, Sun Ce appeared on the TV screen and said: "The voting for the 2011-2012 All-Star starting lineup has been opened. Please go to the NBA official website, NBA official flagship store, short video APP Kuaiyin exclusive link, Lord peripheral flagship store and official website special link... Cast a precious vote for Steve Nash!
This program is sponsored by the Memphis Aquinas tractor manufacturing brand. Aquinas tractors are good helpers for farming and the best choice for major farms.
This program is sponsored and broadcast by the Lord Peripheral Flagship Store, and this program is sponsored and broadcast by the short video APP Kuaiyin. Western All-Star guards, please cast a precious vote for Steve Nash!"
Then, this three-and-a-half-minute program ended.
The audience was moved by Sun Ce's last words and was stunned for several seconds...
For a while, waves of curses came from all states, major cities, and neighborhoods in the United States, and it lasted for a long time.
Who would have thought that this was actually a canvassing advertisement!
If it was a sneaker advertisement, a clothing advertisement, or even a public service advertisement, they would not think there was anything wrong, but it was a canvassing advertisement!
How could people not curse?
But despite the curses...many people took out their mobile phones or computers. They originally cursed "I would vote for a pig instead of Nash" and opened their mobile phones or computers, but when it came to choosing the name of the Western guard, they still remembered the plot related to Nash in the first three minutes of this canvassing advertisement, and many people still voted for Nash...
...
...
"Hahaha, Steve, come and see, many people said they would vote for you! Look at this, you are on the hot search on Twitter, Facebook, and Google!" Sun Ce patted Nash's shoulder very proudly.
"Yeah, I'm famous..." Nash's tone seemed a little sad.
Nash is famous! Very famous!
Sun Ce also became famous...
Randolph was very envious, but such hype was useless for him, and no one would be willing to invest.
Nash is a representative of inspiration. If Randolph hadn't come to the Grizzlies to reform and work hard, he would be remembered as a power forward version of Eddy Curry, a representative of wasting talent.
At 7:35 this morning, 9 channels of 6 national TV stations in the United States and more than a dozen channels of more than a dozen TV stations in Tennessee and Arizona simultaneously broadcast this canvassing program, and also released this video on major video websites, portals, and forums at the same time.
Nash became the "representative of the person who moved America", and Sun Ce was scolded again.
The audience watching TV was relatively acceptable from the beginning with the mentality of watching advertisements or promotional films.
But viewers who watched the video, read the posts, and read the news online suddenly realized that this was a vote-seeking advertisement, and Sun Ce was also advertising his two companies in the back!
Nash touched many people, and Sun Ce made many people want to beat him up...
But no matter what, the effect is good. With the opening of the NBA All-Star voting and the popularity of the NBA All-Star weekend, Nash has now become the most popular sports figure on the Internet and even in the United States.
Sun Ce is currently the most criticized sports figure.
Sun Ce arrived at the stadium at 7:30 this morning and watched the program in the lounge.
Then at 9 o'clock, his teammates arrived at the stadium one after another and asked him about the program.
It's a program. Others think it's an advertisement, but Sun Ce calls it a program because the program is paid by the TV station, while advertisements require money.
For the program, the sponsor pays, and he and Nash also received some share, and the tractor brand that signed Nash last night quickly paid the bulk of the share.
After Sun Ce and Nash reached a consensus last night, they immediately contacted the Aquist company that wanted him to endorse tractors. Bill Duffy was also at Nash's party and quickly reached an agreement. He was very interested in the first advertisement proposed by Sun Ce. For such a simple program, they found a few college students who could edit pictures and tune the sound, and quickly made the program.
The tractor company paid the bulk, and Sun Ce asked John to pay a little for the advertisement. The advertisement was released early this morning.
For major TV stations, it means that the morning news, travel consultation and other programs are shortened by three and a half minutes. There is money to be made, and even ESPN, which is at odds with the Grizzlies, will not refuse.
On the Internet, they hired a few students from the University of Memphis to post online and promote on Facebook and Twitter in various ways. In addition, they paid a little money to top the hot search. The portal website is simple, and they can publish news for a little money.
After Nash arrived at the stadium, he felt so ashamed!
On his way to the stadium, when he was buying breakfast at a breakfast shop he liked, many people laughed at him, but there were also fans who came to take photos with him and sign autographs. He also checked online and found that many people teased him, but many people also said they would vote for him this time.
Originally, the tractor company had to spend money to place advertisements on major TV stations to sign him, and also spent money to shoot advertisements.
They have become the largest tractor manufacturer in Memphis, so they have vision. They know that Sun Ce's plan will definitely be popular. They only need to sponsor a program and have Sun Ce make a guest appearance. As for Sun Ce advertising for his two companies, it can be regarded as planning fees.
As for Sun Ce, although he has no money, "Lord" is his trademark, and he also has part of the company's equity, with dividends every year. The short video APP company has also announced its shareholders. Sun Ce has equity, which makes people who see this program want to download and complain, and it may increase the number of downloads.
Help Nash get selected as an All-Star and advertise for his company. If Nash gets selected as an All-Star starter, he can also avenge the league for putting him in the forward position in order to get Paul selected as an All-Star starter!
The key is that it didn't take much time. He only needed to propose his own plan, record the three and a half minutes of the program, contact John and the tractor company, and they would take care of the rest... Sun Ce was happy just thinking about it.
Nash thought about the teasing of his teammates when he came to the stadium, the teasing and heated discussions on the Internet, and Sun Ce's arrogant look...
Although he felt ashamed when he heard Sun Ce say that last evening, he didn't expect Sun Ce to have so much fun! But he really became famous... But it was also very shameful, but if he became famous, he would have the opportunity to be in the All-Star starter, and he would get money! He didn't have to do anything. He only needed to record a few paragraphs in the tone required by Sun Ce. When he woke up, he would not only get money, but also become famous.
He got money after becoming famous, and he also had the opportunity to be in the All-Star starter, so Nash chose to be ashamed and happy...
