Chapter 552: A day in the life of a college player and CBA on the Internet
The CBA Internet strategy refers to the CBA company and the Basketball Association actively utilizing the speed of communication on the Internet and the influence of the huge netizens to convey their voices, and to create stickiness and attract fans through high-quality content push.

This strategy was formally proposed in 2007 when the Internet was developing rapidly.The purpose is to allow CBA to keep up with the tide of the times.

……

"Do we have to take a picture of getting up?"

"Otherwise, this is a record day, and everything we say now will be recorded. So you have to pay attention to your swear words."

"Sleeping..."

"Okay, hurry up! Why don't you show some flesh?"

Luo Xiaoyong was woken up by his roommate and manager.

He was a little sleepy, but he shyly put the clothes on his shirtless upper body, and then washed and brushed his teeth as usual.

The reason why people are being filmed with cameras today is mainly because it has recently become popular to record the daily lives of players.

At first, stars in professional leagues would do this, and later some ordinary players began to imitate it.

In the end, this trend also affected CUBA players. Players and agents keenly discovered that using the Internet to film some of their own life content can build momentum for their future drafts.

Many popular players hope to consolidate their influence through this method, while some players with lower predicted picks hope to use the Internet to save their careers.

This is actually the same as the Internet celebrities of later generations.

It was under this situation that Luo Xiaoyong was dragged into filming his day by his agent.

The new semester has arrived, and the grassroots competition of last semester has ended. Luo Xiaoyong led Shuimu University to enter the divisional competition, and reached the top with a strong force.It's still some time before the divisional round.

During this period, Luo Xiaoyong focused more on honing his skills in preparation for the "May Dragon Gate" later on.

As this year's popular rookie Luo Xiaoyong has attracted widespread attention from the outside world. He plays the role of point guard. He is 1.8 meters tall, weighs 82 kilograms, and has a wingspan of 1.9 meters. His static talent is very good at this height.

The dynamic talent is also extremely good, with a run-up bounce of 96 centimeters.

This kind of physical talent can help him make up for the advantage when facing big or heavy players.

Of course, it’s tall and heavy.

As a possible lottery pick this year, in addition to the above-mentioned physical hardware, Luo Xiaoyong is proud of his terrifying golf quotient, or IQ, which was heavily mentioned in the scouting report.After all, getting admitted to one of the top two universities in China without relying on the advantages of being a sports student already means something.

In basketball games, Luo Xiaoyong is able to fully understand the coach's tactical intentions, understand the opponent's characteristics, read the defense, and organize the offense.

Such smart players can squeeze out a team's greatest talent.Therefore, Chinese scouts gave him two templates.

He Siyuan of China and Chris Paul of the United States!
The short Luo Xiaoyong chose Paul's style of play. Of course, he didn't want to be 5...

He went out at six o'clock in the morning on an empty stomach. Luo Xiaoyong came to the arena carrying a large bag of luggage.At this time, there were only a few players in the weight room, and everyone was greeting Luo Xiaoyong.

As a man preparing to become a professional player, hard work is a must.To stand out from the tens of thousands of CUBA players every year, you need to have a little more talent and a little more hard work than others.

Luo Xiaoyong showed off his warm-up and stretching movements in front of the camera.

Then he used equipment to do simple strength training. The strength training accumulated over the years since the first year of high school and the adequate supplementation of protein made Luo Xiaoyong a little stronger and more and more like a small steel cannon.

Luo Xiaoyong's muscles can be clearly seen in the quick-drying clothes soaked with sweat. These are all traces of training.

Then there is core training. As a basketball player, core training is very important.Luo Xiaoyong started doing barbell presses, weighted pull-ups, deadlifts, etc...

Luo Xiaoyong showed his daily training in front of the audience. After all, not all players will honestly show everything about themselves in front of the camera.

During training, Luo Xiaoyong will share some of his experiences in conversations with agents.

After the two hours of training, Luo Xiaoyong went to the cafeteria to eat and then went to class.All these processes are presented in a sparse and ordinary way, giving people the feeling that the hot new star is living the same life as us.

Luo Xiaoyong majored in computer science. When he came to class, he took the initiative to sit in the front seat and opened his books to review his previous knowledge. All this made him look no different from an ordinary educated student.The classmates were also used to the existence of this big star and did not come forward to strike up a conversation.

In class, Luo Xiaoyong answered questions at the teacher's pace, which were difficult for ordinary viewers to understand.So my roommate felt there was no need to record this, so he turned off the camera.

After today's class, Luo Xiaoyong came to the arena to practice with the team in accordance with the team's regulations.

Because this part involves team secrets, only the first half is allowed to be recorded.But there's still a lot on display.In the confrontation, Luo Xiaoyong controlled the ball to the frontcourt and began to direct traffic.

Luo Xiaoyong on the court seemed like a different person, from being shy before to being serious and tough.It was as if everything was under his control.

Teammates can often get open spaces under his command.

In an offensive round, Luo Xiaoyong was forced into the bottom corner and felt that he would be double-teamed and intercept the ball at the next moment.However, faced with this situation, Luo Xiaoyong commanded the team's center without panic.He lobbed the ball to the center in the penalty area. The center attracted part of the defense, quickly ran into the penalty area, and then signaled for the pass.

After Luo Xiaoyong got the ball, the double-team came up again and passed it back to the center again.This time, after the double-team was opened, Luo Xiaoyong cut inside again, received the basketball, and hit a reverse layup.

A few passes easily broke the double team.

After the training, Luo Xiaoyong practiced the middle distance for a while before walking out of the gym.He was also very talkative along the way. Unlike his idol Chris Paul, Luo Xiaoyong has a reserved personality and is kind to others.

Finally, the roommate recorded Luo Xiaoyong’s leisure time.Then I edited it and posted it online.As expected, this caused a stir on the Internet, and many fans discussed it in the comment area after watching the video.

[Holy shit, this is the person who is the best at reading among the players I have ever met, and the person who is the best at playing among the top students)

[I don’t dare to say that top students are all nerds anymore. I, Brother Yong, can beat a few of them to me no problem]
[The key is to be more talented than others and work harder than others. I can see from his reaction that getting up early to train is the norm and not a staged photo]
[No wonder Shuimu University is so strong. Isn’t this just a cheat for the entire team?]
[Learned another way to break double teams]

[Full of useful information!In addition to training methods, his ball handling is also worth learning.His dribbling is very powerful, didn't you notice?Dribbling vigorously can increase the ball's bounce speed, reduce the probability of being stolen, and make it easier to break through]
[So handsome, a little excited!Plus one for female fans! ]
[The Crossbow team is currently short of point guards, and Liu Wei is not convinced. If Luo Xiaoyong is selected, and Lu Tao is added, the Crossbow team will take off]

[Haha, one video has made you like this. In my opinion, he is not as good as Wang Yifei. Short guards will suffer in the end. I am not optimistic about his market.]
[...]
All the above is just a microcosm of basketball discussions on the Chinese Internet.

In 2007, the Internet was already very developed. CBA established a huge Chinese basketball community through Hupu and Sina forums and cooperative video websites, which can help teams and players quickly attract fans, and also help news in the basketball circle quickly Become popular.

This is also the reason why basketball can remain popular on the Chinese Internet.

……

The divisional round finally arrived at the end of March.

The 2007 divisional competition has officially begun.

This year, with the blessing of the Internet, online traffic and topicality are very high.Under the influence of online events, the number of offline viewers has reached a new high.

The number of views on the corresponding topic online reached 30 billion, the number of online game viewers reached 2000 million at its peak, and the number of offline viewers in the divisional competition was over 150 million!
These statistics are quite astonishing.

Throughout April and May, sports news dominated the hot news, and from time to time it would be a hot search.Even CCTV will cover the game.

Some social celebrities, especially those who graduated from relevant universities, will also publicly express their support for their alma mater.There are also entertainment stars to increase the popularity.

Some CUBA games were even more popular than CBA.

It can be said that CUBA deserves to be the purest basketball league in China.

Over the years, Chen Xinglian has been telling a story about dream chasers through CUBA.Fans love this. When they see their favorite players standing on the stage of the draft wearing a hat that symbolizes the team, they feel very happy.

CUBA’s competition is also fierce in CBA.

The playoffs are the place where the qualities of superstars are tested.

This sentence is very appropriate in CBA.

This year's North and South Districts are particularly fierce, and it is not an exaggeration to call them troubled times by the media.

No matchup in the first round of the playoffs had a 4-0 record.

The No. [-] worker in the North District faced the No. [-] Steel Heart and was not invincible.Obviously this defensively strong team does not have the dominance it had last season.

The main core of Steel Heart is Zhou Cheng (Wang Zhizhi template), and the second core is Chen Qiaosen.Both of them have three-point shooting ability, which also exposes the shortcomings of the workers, and their external defense ability is not good enough.And the Pistons' scoring ability isn't explosive enough.

Fortunately, Pei Shuai, who was placed in the starting lineup, made up for this shortcoming.In the end, the battle was settled 4:2, but people also remember Chen Qiaosen, a super rookie who contributed 23.2 points and 5.5 assists.

The first duel in the Southern District, No. [-], is also very understandable.The showdown between the Magic City Sharks and the Taiwanese Violent Lions.

The scoring battle between Qiao Yuliang and Zhang Luowei is the main attraction, but other players are also worth talking about.

Gasol, who is already in his second year, has become more and more defensive after experiencing professional competitions and national team games. The nickname of the European Great White Bear is not just called casually.On the Taiwanese side, Yang Hong and Lin Zhijie also performed well.

Especially Yang Hong, whose inability to escape drove Li Qiuping crazy.

Fortunately, the performance of Qiao Yuliang and substitute Wu Haoqi prevented CBA from having its first black eight.

In the first round of the playoffs, the top four teams in the North Division struggled to advance, but in the South Division, Zheng Kailong eliminated Wanma, achieving Black Friday.

The second-round playoff showdown arrives.

In the North District, there was a defensive battle between the Capital Workers and the Jincheng Pioneers, followed by a battle between the enemies of the Hunters and Kunlun (the Hunters were sent away by Kunlun in the playoffs).

The duels in the Southern District are the old and new battles between the Sharks and the Hurricanes, and the civil war in eastern Guangdong between the South China Tigers and the Pioneers.
