Chapter 557
On the domestic Internet, I don't know when a topic started to spread.
Without Liu Mang and Yao Ming, two of the best domestic players, wouldn't they even be able to win the Asian Championship?
After this topic came out, it triggered a heated discussion. At first, there were basically mixed opinions.
Some people think that after Hu Weidong, Liu Yudong and others have just retired, they need powerful players to lead the team.
Some people think that the young players who play in China are enough to win the Asian championship. Didn’t they win the Asian championship with a group of young domestic players? Now it’s just that group of players who have retired. Why not give more to the newcomers? hone opportunities.
These two views contend on the Internet.
Because this summer, the Basketball Asian Championships will be held in China, football collapsed, Yao Ming entered the NBA and won the best rookie, Liu Mang played another year of outstanding performance, Wang Zhizhi relied on O'Neal's side to play average With the data of 9.2 points, 4.4 rebounds, 2 assists and 1.2 blocks, the number of domestic sports fans and basketball fans has increased sharply, so the topic has been discussed very enthusiastically, and the arguments given by the two viewpoints have been wave after wave.
Just when the two viewpoints were arguing on the same level, the number of people who supported the viewpoint that the national team could win the Asian championship without Liu Mang and Yao Ming suddenly surged, occupying comments on various related topics in a crushing manner, and domestic There are many forums, not only basketball forums and sports forums, but also a large number of forums and post bars that have just started testing. There are countless posts related to this topic, and no one has commented yet. Support even without Yao Ming and Liu The comment that Mang can also win the Asian championship dominates the screen, and all kinds of arguments from the previous period of competition dominate the screen.
Interested people have found that there seem to be many comments supporting the Asian championship without Liu Mang and Yao Ming. It seems that they are repeated in every post, but their replies are like sand sculptures swept by sea water. drowned.
At the same time, there are also examples of European stars who played in the NBA and then went back to play some irrelevant games for the European national teams. They played too many games and were injured and could not participate in the World Championships, the Olympic Games and other world competitions. been "hotly discussed".
Not long after, another point of view came out. If Wang Zhizhi came back to lead the team, he was just a role player in the NBA. He was not tired from playing in the NBA. It would be enough for him to come back and lead the team to play in the Asian Championships. exposed.
With the escalation of this topic, there is no need for guidance, and some arguments gradually emerge, which are more brutal, such as if there are no NBA stars, the Asian champions will not be won, and the Blues and domestic players can all die. For a more extreme point of view, Internet trolls have already gone online.
The treason incident has passed for a long time, and the limelight has also passed. In addition, Wang Zhizhi has made a lot of appearances in China by playing for the Lakers.
It’s not just Liu Mang and Yao Ming who make Chinese people feel honorable. Any domestic athlete playing in the NBA will make Chinese people feel honorable. No matter whether they play well or not, it is enough to stand on the NBA court. Moreover, Wang Zhizhi followed Kobe, who was the most capable of passing the ball inside, and followed O'Neal to pick up mobile phone opportunities and rebounds. He played really well. Slowly, Wang Zhizhi returned to people's sight. Let Wang Zhizhi return to the national team to form China's "NBA Big Four". As for the fourth, it is Battelle who just won the championship with the Spurs.
The domestic basketball atmosphere is gradually rising, and more and more people are participating in the discussion, and it seems to be deliberately guided. The mainstream view has become that even without Liu Mang and Yao Ming, the team led by Wang Zhizhi is enough to win the Asian championship. If you can't get this, the players from the Blue Association and the national team will resign collectively.
As for Battelle...he seems to have no interest in the national team. The strangest thing is that he has not been criticized too much. Just when the Blue Association wanted to criticize him, Wang Zhizhi stood up strongly and attracted the limelight away...
There are also some countries that are stronger than basketball, such as Russia, Yugoslavia, Germany, Greece, Argentina and other countries' training camps and the remarks of the national team's training camps, etc...
At the beginning, this topic was only circulated on the Internet, and later it was reproduced by some newspapers and media. It was not only whether Yao Ming and Liu Mang could win the Asian championship, but also let Wang Zhizhi lead the team, and let Liu Mang and Yao Ming play 80. Topics such as more regular season games and extra playoffs for the two stars to take more rest have become the focus of domestic sports circles.
If there is no criticism of the national team's policy, it is such a gentle discussion that made this topic easily appear in the major mainstream media, and even the People's Daily reprinted this news and various remarks.
At the beginning, the Blue Association and the State General Administration of Sports didn't pay much attention to this matter, but they didn't expect that a mere network would have such a great influence. In recent years, relying on the improvement of electronic chip integration technology and the reduction of costs, the network in developed areas of China has begun to popularize. Come on, Internet cafes in remote places are also flourishing like mushrooms after rain. At the same time, relying on the game "Legend of Blood" and the social platform QQ, the domestic Internet cafe industry has entered its heyday, and the Internet has become a place that cannot be ignored. up.
But what cannot be ignored is what cannot be ignored. It is not that no one ignores them. For example, traditional news media still look down on online media at this time.
But when the Internet storm affected the People's Daily to reprint their topic, the matter was completely fired. The General Administration of Sports asked Wei Yuanli, the new director of the Blue Association, to drink tea...

On July 7th, Liu Mang's 9:00 p.m. flight flew directly from Atlanta to Shanghai.
Fortunately, among several large airlines in the United States, Delta Air Lines, one of the top 100 Fortune 500 companies in the United States, is headquartered in Atlanta, so there are direct flights to major cities around the world, and Atlanta's airport The transfer station is also ranked among the top three in the world. Many countries have to come here to transfer to another country.
Back then, Liu Mang's parents asked him to apply for Georgia Tech, partly because of the convenient transportation here.
Schwartz came to Liu Mang's house the morning before Liu Mang's return to China.
Schwartz still wants to stay in the United States. He signed some undrafted players, including Haslem introduced by Liu Mang. He also signed the No. 5 pick Wade and the two second-round picks James Lang and Bran. Den Hunt.
When Liu Mang heard that there were more players from the same company, he had to lament the sharpness of Schwartz's vision. He had never heard of any of these two players.
Schwartz is going to Las Vegas and Orlando to wait for them to play the summer league, the kind that flies back and forth, and if those undrafted picks have a chance to sign, he will have new NBA players.
Liu Mang's commercial promotion will start in August, and then Schwartz will come to cooperate with Nike to participate in the promotion with Liu Mang.
After Schwartz reported the domestic news to Liu Mang, he asked Liu Mang worriedly, "Ace, can this really help Big-By return to the national team?"
Schwartz very much hopes that Wang Zhizhi can return to the national team. One aspect is that he did not think carefully last year, which led to Wang Zhizhi being banned from the national team. Another aspect is of course money. Wang Zhizhi’s current commercial value has been greatly damaged, which is not as good as Liu Mang. The commercial value of teammates in the Eagles is high, because all domestic endorsers have terminated their contracts with Wang Zhizhi. Only when Wang Zhizhi returns to the national team can he have a chance to develop Wang Zhizhi's commercial value.
Wang Zhizhi doesn't care about those, otherwise he wouldn't join the Lakers with a basic salary. The Clippers, Nuggets and other teams have given him better offers, but Schwartz makes money from commissions, so he cares a lot!
"I think it can be done." Liu Mang shrugged and said, "It didn't cost much anyway. If it succeeds, it will succeed. If it doesn't, just keep waiting."
Having said that, Liu Mang knew that Wang Zhizhi would definitely return to the national team. First, he launched a violent online offensive and used gentle tactics to get ordinary traditional media to participate in this topic, forcing the Blue Association to, because of the pressure from the domestic masses, Let go of Wang Zhizhi's return to the national team, and let go of the independent choice of Liu Mang and Yao Ming to participate in some irrelevant events in Asia.
People these days don't understand the power of cyber violence, but Liu Mang does!
The cyber violence this time is not aimed at a certain person, but at the Lanxie.
Instead of directly criticizing the Blue Association, raise a topic and use a roundabout tactic.
Why make everyone blush? Liu Mang has been thinking about this matter for a long time. According to his foresighted understanding of the Internet, after the playoffs, he asked Schwartz to do it. Make an argument, ask people to post it on basketball forums and sports forums, collect enough arguments that you want here, and then use bombing-style naval attacks to occupy domestic forums and post bars, and then lead out some that you have planned in advance. The "new perspective" slowly seeps into it.
Since there was no direct attack on anyone, it was just a discussion, which triggered a topic of discussion among the whole people, and everything went quite smoothly.
As for the reprinting of the People's Daily, it was a complete accident.
Liu Mang didn't want to confront Lan Cooperate head-on, that kind of harmless, milder method is still a sharp knife for killing people.
It's not that Liu Mang is unwilling to participate in the national team's competition, it's just the Asian Championships and Asian Games. Now there are Jiao Jian, Li Ke, Du Feng, Zhu Fangyu, Zhang Jinsong, Li Nan, Sun Jun, Fan Bin, Liu Wei, Guo Shiqiang and others. The last Wang Zhizhi was enough to win the championship in Asia, and there will be Yi Jianlian, Sun Yue and others who will join the national team in the future. Wouldn't it be good to give them a chance to accumulate experience in Asian competitions? If you insist on taking care of everything yourself, it will hinder their development.
That's why Liu Mang wanted to give himself and Yao Ming the right to choose whether to play in the Asian competition. Liu Reck wanted to participate in the World Series, but he didn't think it was necessary for the Asian competition. Everything revolved around the two of them. Do you want to make progress?
On Yao Ming's side, Liu Wei felt that Yao Ming might still choose to participate in some games. Liu Wei's goal was to give Wang Zhizhi a chance to return to the national team and put pressure on the Blue Association so that they would not let Yao Ming participate in those warm-up games that he did not have. .
If it was only the Asian Championships, Asian Games, World Championships, and Olympic Games, it would not matter much for Yao Ming to participate. His injuries were never caused by these four major competitions, but those warm-up matches that he did not win. , What is the Stankovic Cup, which is called the World Series but is useless.
And when Yao Ming sees that even without him, after Yi Jianlian and others enter the national team, they can lead the national team to win the Asian championship and don’t have to worry so much, Liu Wei will slowly persuade Yao Ming to play less in the Asian Championships and Asian Games. these games.
As for Wang Zhizhi's matter, first give a soft knife, or a soft knife that came out suddenly without knowing why the Lanxie itself, let them let go first, no matter whether they really invited Wang Zhizhi to return to China, let Wang Zhizhi take the initiative to admit it Wrong, give the Lanxie face, and this matter will be over.
The most important thing is that the matter of Wang Zhizhi originally passed like this, but Wang Zhizhi had already faded out of the NBA at that time. Now relying on Wang Zhizhi's fairly good performance in the NBA and the advantage of gradually leading public opinion, the blue The association took the initiative to let go and helped Wang Zhizhi return to the national team in advance.
After seeing off Schwartz, who was worried about gains and losses, Liu Mang continued to move the things prepared by the two beauties to the pickup truck, and also contacted the domestic car rental company. Seven or eight large boxes, half of which were empty boxes, went to the airport to buy them. Those duty-free drinks and tobacco made in China are cheaper in the United States than domestic drinks such as Moutai.
Liu Mang is also convinced by this!
Liu Mang couldn't wait to go home.
