warrior godfather

Chapter 666

The Warriors and Cavaliers' G3 shocked the new fans in China.

They were very lucky. Watching the NBA for the first time, they saw the Warriors' smooth passing and three-pointers, as well as James' violent breakthroughs and Irving's unpredictable dribbling.

They are also very unfortunate. The first time they watched the NBA, it was the star-studded finals. The aesthetic threshold was raised to the highest point. When they watch the regular season again, they will definitely be disappointed.

Fortunately, they didn't know this yet, immersed in this wonderful offensive battle, and found their favorite star.

The vast majority of new fans have become Warriors fans. They came because of Zhang Yu, preconceived, and they were biased towards the Warriors from the beginning, and they were impressed by the Warriors' easy and freehand offense.

But there are also a small number of people who will not naturally become supporters of the Warriors because of Zhang Yu's identity as a Chinese.

They prefer James' violent aesthetics, or Irving's elegant and unrestrained, or even simply prefer the name of the Cavaliers, and become Cavaliers supporters.

They didn't watch the first two finals, and they entered the NBA after watching G3. Looking back at the scores of G1 and G2, they posted online and asked:
"If you don't understand, just ask, the Cavaliers are so strong, why did they lose the Warriors by nearly 30 points in the first two games?"

Soon there were new Cavaliers fans who had the same question to reply:
"That's right, when watching the game, the Cavaliers rush in to score casually, while the Warriors always shoot from outside the three-point line. It must be that the closer to the basket, the easier it is to score. It is impossible for the Warriors to make three-pointers every game as accurate as yesterday. ?”

"That's right, even if the Warriors are great, they can't win three games in a row against the Cavaliers..."

The post resonated with many new Cavaliers fans, as well as old ones — not just Cavs fans, but Warriors fans as well.

Instead of answering their questions, the Cavaliers fans said angrily:

"Cross-district ridicule, right? Do you have to kill them all? Warriors are awesome! Can you get out now?!"

"Smurfs go back to your own district! Brave! Fuck!"

Warriors fans are yin and yang:

"Who knows, maybe it's the Feng Shui of the Quicken Loans Center. It's easier for the Cavaliers to score inside. It's amazing!"

"First rule out the factor of the referee. It should be that the Warriors let the water go. The NBA is not about fighting and killing. The NBA is about the world~"

"Oh, it's too X to break the defense?"

"Brownies are like this, lol..."

This made those new fans who sincerely asked the question suddenly confused, and felt very wronged:
"I just started watching the NBA, and I don't understand anything, why are you scolding me..."

"Isn't it okay to ask a question..."

On the contrary, the old fans will not be able to deal with it. After repeated confirmation, it is finally confirmed that they are not Warriors fans playing the Black Knights, and they are really new fans who don't understand anything.

Now, the Warriors fans and Cavaliers fans were very embarrassed, and they were not on the same line. They explained to them the strength gap between the Warriors and the Cavaliers, and that the Cavaliers had home court advantage in G3, so they didn't lose much. Only then did these new fans suddenly understand.

However, when the Warriors fans mentioned home court advantage, the Cavaliers fans quit again, and the two sides quarreled again.

But with a disparity of 3:0, the Warriors fans had the upper hand, and the Cavaliers fans output against the wind. Like the Cavaliers on the court, they lost a lot.

However, only some Cavaliers fans are at a disadvantage. For staunch James fans, losing is nothing at all.

James scored 36 points, twice as much as Curry. The Cavaliers lost, but James didn't lose!

As long as James doesn't lose, what does it matter if the Cavaliers lose?
What?You said the Cavaliers can't win the championship?

That's not because the Warriors lineup is so good, Curry can't score, and the Warriors can win. If it is given to a teammate like James, James is guaranteed to have more championships than Curry!

He was dragged down by those CBA teammates, Smith, Shumpert, Jefferson, TT... what are these things, one by one, if you can't score 10 points, you know that you are slowing down Lao Zhan .

So what if the Warriors win, it’s all due to others. Leonard, Clay, and Curry all scored higher than Curry. In G1, Curry only had 12 points. The Warriors can win. This does not fully show that the Warriors are strong in the system , Isn't it Curry?
What?You said that Curry was unable to score because he was flanked, but he created opportunities for others, with a high plus-minus value. Does this mean that Curry has gravity?

Don't make these fakes!Positive and negative values ​​and the gravitational force of the library are all things to fool people. The stars only look at the score, and the score is less. The score of Lao Zhan is much higher than that of Curry.
What?You said that Curry was flanked by the Cavaliers, but the Warriors did not flank James, which means that Curry is better than James?

Isn’t this a joke? The Warriors don’t flank Lao Zhan because it’s useless to Lao Zhan. Lao Zhan is not afraid of flanking. Curry is afraid of flanking. Old Zhan is better than Curry!
Hey, Lao Zhan is so pitiful. With a group of CBA teammates, he faces the best team in the league and the strongest tactics. He scores high points every game, but he can't win the ball. I feel sorry for Lao Zhan...

In the face of such extremely determined James fans, Warriors fans can't win anyway. They have their own set of logic. No matter how professional analysis and advanced data are placed in front of them, it will not help.

However, there are only a small number of such fans. Most Cavaliers fans will not output against the wind, nor will they ignore the facts. Warriors fans occupy the right to speak in major apps and forums, and constantly attract new fans.

Zhang Yu's reputation in China is also growing day by day. Some new fans start watching from G3, but more people start watching from G1. After watching the three games, the Warriors' tactics are different, especially in G3. Changing the rotation, changing to the magic ball style of play, and winning the game against the referee's whistle, it shows the level of the top coach.

Of course, these new fans cannot see the cleverness of Zhang Yu's tactical adjustments, but domestic commentators, basketball writers, and basketball bloggers have analyzed the Warriors' tactics in detail, and senior fans who understand the game also praised Zhang Yu's adjustments on the forum. Let them understand how powerful Zhang Yu is.

And this is not the most important thing. Domestic apps, media and marketing accounts know what the domestic public likes to watch, and frantically transfer the praise of Zhang Yu from the American media, including American media, commentators, celebrities, coaches, and players. Yes, all of them were transported to the country.

"USA Today": "Tactical victory! Coach Z made a key adjustment, and the Warriors broke the record for three-pointers in a single game in the NBA Finals and won the match point."

"San Francisco Chronicle": "The offensive battle came to an end. The Warriors defeated the Cavaliers 134:123. Coach Z completely defeated Tyronn Lue on the spot."

Skip tweeted in consecutive short sentences: "Wonderful victory! Mighty warrior! Astute Coach Z! Ugly ref! James who can never win!"

Rick Barry: "Once again, Coach Z made the right adjustments. He seems to never make a mistake. His calm and sanity are amazing!"

Stevens:

"Ronan is one of the best coaches in NBA history. There is no doubt that his on-the-spot adjustments are unmatched."

Tyson Chandler tweeted: "Congratulations Warriors! Ronan is the best coach I have ever met, he has a kind of magic, always wins the game in the face of adversity..."

The new fans in China saw that Zhang Yu was so good in the United States, and he convinced all the Americans. A sense of pride was born spontaneously. Those who had watched the finals were more determined to support the Warriors. And I became interested in the NBA and the Warriors, and I am going to watch the finals G4.

Zhang Yu also posted a Weibo in due course:
"June 6th, 12:9 a.m. Beijing time, everyone is welcome to watch Game 4 of the Finals. I assure you that the Warriors will sweep the Cavaliers 4-0 to win the championship! I hope domestic Warriors fans can witness the defending moment together!"

Zhang Yu used to have the habit of posting on Weibo, but after the finals started, he didn't post a single Weibo.

As Zhang Yu's reputation in China grew day by day, more and more people followed his Weibo and became more and more curious about him.

Therefore, after this Weibo was posted, it immediately went viral, and it directly became the number one Weibo hot search list, with more than 50 likes and tens of thousands of comments.

"Warriors Championship!"

"Warrior Go Go Go Go Go! Another two consecutive championships!"

"Warrior's new fans report, worthy of being China's number one coach, full of domineering!"

Zhang Yu's previous restraint played a role. After people's expectations accumulated to a certain level, he sent out the first Weibo. The traffic was maximized, occupying the number one position on Weibo's hot search for a whole day, and attracted a wave of new fans. .

He uttered bold words that he would sweep the Cavaliers to win the championship, and made people not want to miss G4. On June 6, at 12:2300 a.m., the Tencent live broadcast room flooded with the largest number of viewers in history, as many as [-] million people.

This is only the number of people who watched the finals through Tencent. Today is Sunday, and many people watched the broadcast of CCTV5. Added up, at least 4000 million people in China watched the broadcast of G4 of the finals.

The population of China in 2016 was 13.92 billion. The number of 4000 million seems insignificant, but in absolute terms, it far exceeds the number of people watching G4 in the finals in the United States.

Zhao Guochen, General Manager of Tencent Sports Operations, was ecstatic when he saw this number. He immediately picked up his phone and gave Zhang Yu a like on Weibo.

Tencent only signed a five-year, $5 million broadcast contract with the NBA last year. This year, the number of viewers in the finals has increased significantly, thanks to the huge traffic brought by Zhang Yu.

Zhao Guochen decided that in the future, he will take extra care of the Warriors fans, arrange the best commentators and the most beautiful female anchors to explain the Warriors games, and his stance should also be biased towards the Warriors.

Fans of the Warriors' opponents can complain if they want to. He wants to attract more Warriors fans to watch Tencent Sports' broadcasts, especially those fans who are used to watching CCTV broadcasts. CCTV's commentary must remain neutral. How can we compete with them?

Just when Zhao Guochen made up his mind to please the Warriors fans, in the distant capital, there were also people who were paying close attention to the domestic viewership of G4 of the Finals.
