As early as when Yao Ming joined the team, there was a so-called "Rockets fever" in China.
At that time, most fans' knowledge of the NBA was limited to superstars such as Jordan, Kobe, and Iverson.
In addition, Chinese fans actually know very little about the NBA.
But after Dayao landed in the beautiful country, various media, represented by CCTV, began to conduct live video and text broadcasts of the NBA.
During that time, the Rockets became the number one home team for Chinese fans because of Yao Ming.
Later, with the popularity of NBA, fans began to have various preferences.
The most obvious example is the Lakers led by Kobe Bryant.
In these years, except for the encounter with the Rockets, the Purple and Gold Army's support rate in CCTV broadcasts has always crushed its opponents.
And Kobe has become one of the most beloved stars among Chinese fans.
Komi even has the title of "6 billion".
Then, the 03 golden generation gradually became the backbone of the alliance.
LeBron, Wade, and Anthony have all gained many fans.
At the same time, the Rockets gradually fell from the "altar" due to Yao Mai's injury and a weak substitute lineup.
At the end of last season, the Rockets' influence in China fell to rock bottom as Tracy McGrady left and Yao Ming suffered a serious injury.
If it were in the original time and space, the Rockets' "qi" would have to wait until Harden joins to continue.
Fortunately, Shen Fei showed up!
In just half a year, the rocket he built became almost like a "big devil".
Moreover, this Rockets not only has an outstanding record, but the team is also star-studded.
The first is the Big Three of China - Yao Ming, Jeremy Lin, and Yi Jianlian.
Wherever these three people move, it is impossible for CCTV to miss a live broadcast.
Another example is the famous stars - Tracy McGrady, Roy, Big Ben...
These are all players who were once all-powerful, and without exception, they have returned to their peak form with the Rockets.
Even out of sentiment, there are countless fans willing to buy tickets to watch their games!
In addition, this Rockets team also has a beautiful scenery, and that is their young players.
Court spirit, jade-faced butcher—Stephen Curry.
He is obviously a defensive gate, but his dribbling is as smooth as Dove - Paul George.
If you want to compete with God, each jump is better than the last - Blake Griffin.
Once in a century, look like an emperor - Greg Oden.
There are also small guns with both offense and defense - Lowry, Westbrook mini - Jeremy Lin, etc...
These young people have different styles and outstanding strength.
Fans are all surprised...
There are so many young people in such a powerful team?!
This in itself is a miracle!
After the game against the Spurs, many fans discussed these newcomers.
Among them, one post is simple in content but very popular - "Let's discuss the nicknames of young people like the Rockets!"
The author wrote in the post:
"Let me first talk about a few nicknames that everyone recognizes, which can be used as a starting point."
"Griffin's nickname: White Monster or Griffin."
"George's nickname: Pickled Pepper."
"Oden—the Great Emperor."
"Jeremy Lin - Brother Hao, China's number one point guard."
"I think these nicknames are pretty good and there's nothing inconvenient about them."
"But Curry's style of painting is different. The nicknames of 'elementary schoolboy' and 'cute god' are not the nicknames that an NBA player should have!"
"Let's think of a better nickname for him together."
As soon as this post was posted, it immediately attracted discussions from many fans.
Curry has performed well recently and played a huge role in the Rockets' 23-game winning streak.
The fans were naturally happy to spend time thinking of a new nickname for him.
A jr named "Old Tool Man" replied: "Just call him dick, because Curry is dick!"
Everyone replied: "I'm very angry, but I can't get on the stage."
A young man named "Rainy Night with an Umbrella but Not a Knife" commented: "Let's call him Jade Faced Killer, it suits his appearance and temperament very well!"
Everyone commented: "Too good!"
...
One after another, many netizens provided ideas, but without exception, they were rejected by everyone.
After a long time, a person named "The team-changing expert around you" turned out to be!
He commented:
"How about calling it 'Kuritian'?"
"Ku Li's shooting range is as far as Hou Yi shooting the sun, isn't it just the sun... Ku Ri Tian! How about it?!"
Although this comment appeared relatively late, it shot up to the top spot in terms of “brightness” at a rocket-like speed.
"Ku Ritian, that's interesting! It not only describes his sharp playing style, but also reflects his super long shooting range. Yes!"
"Seconded."
"Upstairs!"
"1"
...
In this way, fans enthusiastically gave Curry a new nickname.
............
Two flowers bloom, one on each side.
While Chinese fans were still arguing about Curry's nickname, Shen Fei was watching the interviews of Curry, Mai and Yao through the screen of his mobile phone.
When he sees Yao Ming making heroic remarks, he will also smile.
"This passage is quite good..."
Shen Fei raised the corners of his mouth slightly and murmured to himself.
Targeting 34 consecutive victories, breaking the historical record——
This goal set by Yao Ming is very beneficial to the team in both competitive and business aspects.
First, it can further build a winning culture for the Rockets.
Secondly, Under Armor still needs popularity.
As a spokesperson, Yao Ming will definitely attract another wave of traffic to Under Armour!
Shen Fei scrolled through Twitter for a while.
As he expected, Dayao's remarks triggered a great discussion
In the eyes of fans, Yao Ming has always maintained the restraint and humility unique to Easterners.
His remarks this time are indeed a bit "collapsed"!
Of course, it's a good kind of character design.
Beautiful Chinese fans advocate individual heroism.
Yao Ming's words turned many people into fans.
One fan even felt that victory caused Dayao's personality to change and become more "charming".
After Shen Fei saw this comment, he couldn't help laughing.
Only he knows that Yao Ming did not say this because of a sudden change in his personality, or because of a chicken blood injection or something...
The truth is...
A few days ago, Shen Fei had a chat with Yao Ming.
While chatting, the two of them talked about Under Armor.
During the conversation, Shen Fei expressed frankly that he hoped Under Armor's influence would explode in a short time.
After hearing this, Yao Ming immediately said that he would find a way to do something.
Then, this happened today!
"He is worthy of being the president of the Basketball Association in the future. His head is spinning so fast."
Shen Fei sighed.
[I don’t know where Yao Ming’s future will lead because of my appearance...]
[In the original time and space, he must have returned to China to join politics.]
Shen Fei thought to himself.
What he can be sure of now is that Yao Ming will play at least until the end of the Olympics.
After the Olympics, it is unclear whether Yao will continue to compete in the NBA or follow the same path as he did in the original time and space.
While Shen Fei was thinking, his cell phone suddenly rang.
It was the product manager of Under Armour.
"Boss, according to the sketch you gave us, we have completed the first version of the George Generation!"
"I will send the actual pictures and various detailed pictures of the shoes to your email soon. You can take a look at them when you have time."
The manager said very excitedly.
"OK."
"Thanks for your hard work."
Shen Fei smiled.
After hanging up the phone, he immediately opened his mailbox.
Shen Fei has put a lot of thought into this George generation.
