warrior godfather

Chapter 688
On October 10th, at 12:7 p.m., the Warriors and the Nets played the second game of the Huaxia Games at the Wukesong Stadium in Beijing.

The two sides still played in the regular season, at least the playing time of the main lineup was the same as in the regular season, which made the Huaxia fans who came to the scene very satisfied.

Zhou Qi and Yi Jianlian were still the protagonists of this game. Even though Zhou Qi did not perform well under the intensity of the NBA, Zhang Yu still gave him 30 minutes of playing time.

After the Olympics, Zhou Qi did not slack off. According to the training plan drawn up by the Warriors coaching staff for him, he focused on gaining weight to improve his resistance and strength.

In Zhang Yu's previous life, the trainer sent by Rocket to Huaxia accused Zhou Qi of eating junk food, but now, Zhou Qi dared not do so.

Yi Jianlian told Zhou Qi clearly that Zhang Yu's management team is extremely strict, and he will never be lenient to him just because he is from Huaxia.

If Zhou Qi can't meet Zhang Yu's requirements, then don't even think about playing.

But on the other hand, Zhang Yu is very tolerant towards the Warriors players. As long as he meets his requirements in training and strictly implements the team's tactics on the court, even if he performs poorly in the game, he will not blame him in the slightest, and he will still be in front of the media. Great maintenance.

Of course, if Zhang Yu's requirements can be met, it is difficult to perform poorly in the game.

For Huaxia players, Zhang Yu took special care of them. Yi Jianlian said frankly:

"Giannis surpassed me in his second year in the league, but Brother Yu still gave me a lot of playing time, even in the playoffs, he didn't put me on the bench, so I had a chance to show my strength , After I left the Warriors, the Nets gave me a contract."

"Brother Yu can give Giannis all his time. After all, Giannis is the future of the Warriors, but he didn't do that. You are still young and have an advantage over me. As long as you perform well enough, Brother Yu will definitely give Your playing time, after all, the Warriors' main lineup often clocks in three quarters. But if you waste your training and fail to meet Brother Yu's requirements, then even if you sit on the bench, you can't blame others..."

People often say that there is motivation when there is pressure. This sentence is actually not true. Only when there is positive feedback can there be motivation.

Why do people like to play games?

Because gold coins, equipment, levels, and ranks are all timely feedback, players know that as long as they win, they can get what they want. Of course, they are full of motivation.

This is not the case with studying. Few people know the method that can definitely improve their grades. Except for those who find the way, most people study hard, but their grades are stagnant, or even drop instead of rising. If they cannot get timely positive feedback, of course they will hate it. study.

Zhou Qi got the exact answer from his big brother Yi Jianlian. As long as he trains hard and meets Zhang Yu's requirements, Zhang Yu will definitely give him playing time. Naturally, he is full of motivation and put in a hundredfold effort.

It's just that there is only more than a month before the end of the Olympic Games. Zhou Qi's training time is too short, and the domestic trainers are not professional enough. His strength has not improved much, but his weight gain has been quite effective.

But Zhang Yu did not criticize Zhou Qi, and did not reduce his playing time because of Zhou Qi's poor performance. Instead, he encouraged him to take more shots in the game.

This encouraged Zhou Qi to actively express himself on the court. Even if he missed a shot, was blocked, or made a rash foul, he was not discouraged. He would still go all out for the next round and be full of energy.

Even though Zhang Yu had clearly told Zhou Qi that he would spend most of his first season on the bench, and even go to the Development League to play, and would not get much playing time, he did not show any signs of frustration.

Antetokounmpo had to go to the Development League to practice in the first season. The champion Wiggins was even unstable in the rotation position in the first year. He had already prepared for this.

Zhou Qi's hard-working attitude won the cheers of the Huaxia fans at the scene. They were not afraid of Zhou Qi's poor performance, but they were afraid that he would not dare to fight.

In this game, Zhou Qi's performance was still far inferior to Yi Jianlian's, scoring only 13 points. The efficiency was very poor, and Yi Jianlian scored 20 points.

But the Warriors still relied on their stronger strength to defeat the Nets 129:112 and won two consecutive victories in the preseason.

Zhang Yu will not really play the preseason as a regular season. The first three quarters will be rotated normally. When the leading advantage is large enough, he will be replaced in the fourth quarter to prevent the score difference from being too big and the scene too ugly.

In addition to these two preseason games, both the Warriors and the Nets participated in many activities, with a full schedule and close contact with Huaxia fans.

Warriors players have been to China to participate in activities before, and Curry will come to China almost every summer. Clay is the number one spokesperson of Anta and knows something about China.

And because of Zhang Yu's relationship, Warriors players have a good impression of Huaxia, and they have no pretensions towards fans, and they have won the unanimous love of Huaxia fans.

Many new fans are also attracted by Curry's innocent and funny youth, and Clay's serious but funny appearance, and become supporters of the Warriors.

The Nets players were favored by Yi Jianlian and were warmly welcomed by Chinese fans.

In an interview with the accompanying American media, Lopez said with emotion:

"When we came to China to play the preseason in 2010, Yi was very popular. Now, people's welcome for him is ten times stronger than before!"

On October 10th, the Warriors and the Nets successfully completed all the schedules, and the trip to China ended perfectly. The popularity of the NBA in China also ushered in a surge again.

These two teams are the two teams with the most Chinese elements in the NBA. These two preseason games are also the two most intense NBA games that Chinese fans have seen live.

This China match attracted at least tens of thousands of loyal fans for the two teams. Many fans who originally supported other teams turned their backs and became supporters of one of the teams because they watched the match between the two teams live.

And because the Warriors are stronger and the style of play is more gorgeous, more people become Warriors fans.

In addition to the fans who came to watch the game, there are countless passers-by who have entered the NBA through overwhelming publicity.

This increase in popularity is not only reflected in the continuous hot searches on Weibo, but also the sales of the peripheral products of the two teams in China have soared. Not out of stock.

Under Cai Chongxin's instruction, Taobao took a close look at the sellers who sold imitation products around the NBA. All of a sudden, the online imitations and fakes almost disappeared.

If fans want to support the Warriors and the Nets, they can only buy authentic peripherals. In just one week, the NBA's revenue in China has increased a lot, and it is still in the process of rising.

There are also many Chinese companies that have reached cooperation with the Warriors and the Nets. The endorsement contracts between the Warriors and a group of Chinese businesses have just expired, and they have been replaced by companies with higher bids. The Nets have signed many new endorsement contracts.

Both teams made a lot of money during this trip to China.

However, the purpose of Zhang Yu's return to China this time is not to make money.

Before leaving Huaxia, he announced that the Warriors will spend 2000 million US dollars at a time, and cooperate with the NBA Huaxia headquarters to establish a charity organization called "Xinghuo", which means "a single spark can start a prairie fire."

Xinghuo aims to build basketball courts for rural children across the country, provide them with basketball, sneakers and other sports equipment, cultivate their interest in basketball, and let them have a stronger body.

This move was strongly supported by the Lanxie and the Imperial College.

A bad association can achieve political achievements without paying money. Where can we find such a good thing?
The Guozijian is dealing with endless incidents all over the country. The incidents of rural primary and secondary school students drowning in summer are a serious concern. Anything that can keep primary and secondary school students away from the water, they will support with both hands.

Therefore, the leader of the Association announced that the local sports bureaus would strongly support Xinghuo, and the Guozijian also expressed that they would allow rural schools to cooperate.

Domestic fans also praised Zhang Yu's generosity. 2000 million US dollars is not much for Zhang Yu's assets, but there are not many rich people like him who donate money generously.

What moved them was that Curry announced that he would inject $200 million into Spark to support Zhang Yu's charity.

As a Chinese, Zhang Yu gave back to his compatriots after his fortune, which is both a kind act and a due righteousness, but Curry, as an American, can generously donate to a foreign country thousands of miles away, which is pure kindness.

Warriors fans are very proud and feel that they have chosen the wrong idol, and other fans also admire Curry.

When Curry was interviewed about this matter, he did not exaggerate, and said very frankly:

"Compared to what the boss did, the money I donated is nothing. I did this to repay the support of Huaxia fans. Every time I come to Huaxia to participate in an event, the crowd is always full. , no matter which city I go to, there are many fans who support me. I am very moved and want to do something for them. At the same time, my achievements today are inseparable from Ronan’s teachings. I want to support his charity ..."

Curry's sincere answer made people feel better about him, and many people became Warriors fans because of this.

There are still many people who are influenced by Curry and want to donate money and materials to Spark.

The NBA Huaxia Headquarters announced that it will establish a dedicated website for Spark. Every donation and material must be applied for online. After receiving it, it will be included in the online donation list updated in real time, and the whereabouts will also be recorded in detail. Public supervision is welcome.

So far, the Warriors' trip to China has come to a successful conclusion, returning to the United States to prepare for next season.

Other teams are very envious of the two teams' development of the Chinese market, but there is no Chinese element in their team, and there is no way to get a share of the pie.

The management can only ask scouts to pay more attention to the CBA league to see if there are any potential players who can help them develop the Chinese market.

However, not all teams have Chinese elements.

Morey watched the commercial revenue of the Warriors and the Nets in China rise steadily, signed an endorsement today, and reached a cooperation tomorrow, and his eyes were extremely hot.

He applied to the league before, the Rockets wanted to go to China to play the preseason, but was rejected by the league, the Warriors and the Nets got this precious opportunity.

Seeing the success of the Warriors and the Nets in the Chinese market now makes Morey jealous.

Isn't the reason why he chose Wang Zhelin to open up the Chinese market?

Morey is very clear that this year is the year of the Olympic Games, and the popularity of basketball in China is so high that the Warriors and Nets are so popular.

The Rockets missed this opportunity, and if they go to China in the future, it will be difficult to achieve such a big gain.

Moreover, who knows if Wang Zhelin can play it?
If he can only look at the water dispenser, the Rockets' development of the Chinese market will be greatly reduced.

At this time, the Rockets have just selected Wang Zhelin, and Huaxia fans only have expectations for him. It is the best time to go to Huaxia to make money, just like Zhou Qi.

Morey secretly hated why the league didn't allow the Rockets to play in the Huaxia game and missed this great opportunity.

Not only that, he also vented his anger on Zhang Yu, adding another layer of hatred towards him, and secretly vowed that one day, he must make Zhang Yu look good!
