Chapter 1309 1308. The name of King Silver Horn (710 please vote)

October 25, 2006, the day before the season opener.

In the ESPN Atlanta branch building, the two protagonists who will play an NBA opening game in this city tomorrow are recording an interesting program jointly produced by Chaoting Channel and ESPN.

"Welcome to the special program brought to you by ESPN Sports Channel and CCTV Sports Channel. I am Liu Mang Ice-Liu, and my partner today is Dirk-Nowitzki," Liu Mang said in Chinese. , then turned to Nowitzki and asked: "Dirk, what made you come to participate in our program?"

"Um... No, Ace, did you call me after you finished your work to tell me that there is a program to be recorded today?" Nowitzki asked doubtfully.

"...Recording now! Click, stop..." Liu Mang pointed at the cameraman.

Only then did Nowitzki remember what he had just discussed and said quickly: "Oh, oh, oh, because I love China, I like China very much. I hope that we in Germany can also be invited to participate in the event held by BJ in 2008." Olympic Games, so I want to know more about China.”

Nowitzki was a little excited. He rarely participated in such activities. It's not that he didn't want to participate. He didn't like filming commercials and so on, but he still liked being on TV, but no one invited him.

The director next to him was asking the producer: "Do you want to re-record?"

"No, that's it!" The producer immediately interrupted the director who was about to interrupt the recording.

On the other side of the camera, Liu Mang saw that the recording had not stopped and immediately understood what to do. He said in Chinese again: "Okay, let's start again, 1.2.3, start. Welcome everyone to watch ESPN Sports Channel and CCTV Sports Channel bring you special program..."

Nowitzki was ready this time and pretended as if nothing had happened. After Liu Mang finished his opening remarks again, he followed the script he was given and said again: "Hello, China, I am Dirk Nowitzki." Ji, the reason why I participated in this show is because I love China... I want to know more about China.”

"Thank you, BJ welcomes you. Then Dirk, I'm going to ask a few questions that Chinese fans want to ask you." Liu Mang flipped through the script. There are no questions that Chinese fans want to ask. They are all It was compiled by Liu Mang himself.

Nowitzki became serious. The only script in his hand was how to answer the opening remarks, and the questions he was going to ask later were said to be questions to Liu Mang from German basketball fans collected by the TV station in Germany.

After pretentiously flipping through the pages, Liu Mang asked: "Dirk, the fans in our country are very concerned about your question..."

Liu Mang spoke in a longer voice, and Nowitzki looked at Liu Mang more intently, expecting what the problem was.

Liu Mang was very satisfied with Nowitzki's reaction and continued to ask: "...The fans are very concerned about whether your German team can make it to the Olympics? They are worried that they will not see you in 2008."

It's a critical hit!

Nowitzki felt like he had been stabbed in the heart. The German team really couldn't carry him! The German team won three games at the World Championships, with 2 wins and 3 losses in the group stage and 1 win and 2 losses in the rankings. The German team ranked thirteenth in the world...

With this ranking, in the European division where there are so many strong teams, it is difficult to enter the Olympics...

Nowitzki replied: "I'll try my best."

I'm still not confident, but this is just a question of Liu Mang's appetizer. Nowitzki is waiting for the second question, hoping that the questions asked by the "Chinese fans" will not be so heartbreaking.

Nowitzki saw Liu Mang take out two large photos from the side of the chair and was curious. Why do you need photos for the question?

Liu Mang couldn't hold back his laughter and asked, "The next step is a quiz..."

Nowitzki felt that the style of painting had changed a bit quickly. Just now it was still a heart-wrenching question, why did it suddenly change to a quiz?

Liu Mang continued to ask: "Excuse me, which of the two photos below is Dirk Nowitzki?"

"?" Nowitzki was confused and looked at the photos Liu Mang opened. Nowitzki's eyes widened in the first picture.

He saw in the photo a "him" with silver paint on his face, strange things on his head, and a "war robe" standing on a big rock smiling!

Cosplay?

Or is it such a heavy Cosplay?

"Oh ho ho... this is..." Nowitzki firmly believed that he had never taken such a photo.

At this time Liu Mang opened the second photo.

Nowitzki immediately looked over. It was after Nowitzki defeated the Spurs on the road in the last game of the second round of the Western Conference playoffs last season. He raised his body in excitement, twirling the blue jersey with his orchid fingers in his right hand. His eyes were wandering, his blond hair was spread out, and he had a devilish expression sticking out his tongue arrogantly...

"NO..." Nowitzki screamed in despair. This was the pain of his life. When he saw this picture on the headlines that night, he almost collapsed...

Nowitzki is even doubting whether the first photo is an "artistic photo" he took while drunk...

I was originally nervous when recording the show, but at first glance, it was placed next to an unforgettable photo of myself, and I started to have self-doubt...

…

…

"I call you, do you dare to agree?"

Nowitzki put the photo of the Silver Horn King next to himself and said this sentence in very poor Chinese after Liu Mang taught him several times. This scene was broadcast on the "Basketball Park" program of the Imperial Sports Channel on Friday afternoon, BJ time on the 25th. The fans in China who watched this program, which is considered the best basketball program on domestic satellite TV, laughed.

They really didn't notice before that when people's impression of Journey to the West was limited to the CCTV version of Journey to the West, Zhang Weijian's version of Monkey, and Xingye's version of Supreme Treasure, there were not so many spoofs of Journey to the West...

The fans knew Liu Mang too well, and they firmly believed that Liu Mang had fooled Nowitzki...

Originally, the nickname given to Nowitzki by the Imperial TV was "German Tank", which sounded domineering. German tanks were very famous and had swept across the European continent.

But the German basketball team and the German Tank... didn't seem to fit, so! Nowitzki’s nickname has changed…

Liu Mang accidentally opened the beginning of NBA stars’ nicknames full of local flavor in China…

…

“Haha, Ace, thank you for letting me know that I have so many fans in China.” Nowitzki was very happy. Fortunately, the photo was not taken by him, but a character in a mythical TV series.

In this way, Nowitzki can accept it more. He has a photo that he can’t bear to look back on, and he doesn’t want a second one…

Nowitzki finally knows his nickname in China. It turns out to be the Silver Horn King.

With the word “king” as a reference, Nowitzki’s current mood can be described in one word… He thinks this nickname is very foreign…

However… Liu Mang really didn’t expect that Nowitzki would become popular in the domestic basketball world all of a sudden…

When he received the invitation from Basketball Park and ESPN, he just wanted to tease the Silver Horn King…
