Public Enemy of Rookies
A stone stirred up a thousand ripples.
Chen Ran's bold and arrogant remarks quickly set off a huge uproar on the Internet.
The well-known American media ESPM sports column wrote: "Chen Ran, this year's number two rookie, a dark horse from China, unexpectedly became the biggest surprise of this summer league. After breaking the individual scoring record of the summer league for nearly two decades, he was bursting with confidence. In front of the media, he challenged all the rookies this year.”
The headline of the latest report on the NBA official website was: "He scored 50 points in the third quarter. China's No. 2 rookie broke the record!”
" The first Chinese player in NBA history to look down on all rookies!”
Sports Illustrated even directly quoted Chen Ran's original words,""I'm not targeting anyone! I'm saying that the rookies this year, other than me, are all trash! Trash! (emphasis)"
Compared to the foreign media, Teng Xun's NBA report was much more tactful. It used a shocking headline: "Shocking! Chen Ran, the runner-up, actually said this to the media…"
After becoming the runner-up, Chen Ran's popularity in China skyrocketed. Any news report involving Chen Ran would immediately attract the attention of the fans.
After reading Teng Xun's NBA report, some good fans quickly found the video of the Nets vs. Pelican Summer League game. They carefully edited the highlights of Chen Ran, coupled with Meina's post-match interview with Chen Ran, uploaded it online, and wrote the title: " I scored 50 points in three quarters. Other than me, all the rookies this year are trash!》。
The video clip quickly spread across the internet. Within an hour, it had more than 30 million views and more than 5 million shares.
"It exploded, it simply exploded!"
"Even someone as strong as Jordan or Kobe wouldn't dare to be so arrogant!”
"I'm not targeting anyone! I mean, other than me, all the rookies this year are trash!”
"Domineering! Chen Ran was simply domineering! Sometimes, one could not be too humble!”
"Why should I be humble? The people of China are too low-key, so we are always bullied. With arrogant strength, there was confidence! I support Chen Ran to beat up all the rookies this year!”
“……”
In the comments section below the video clip, there were tens of thousands of comments. Without exception, they were all in support of Chen Ran.
Chen Ran's post-match interview also drew criticism from the rookies this year.
JR Barrett, this year's flower scout, said in an interview,""I thought I was arrogant enough among the rookies this year. He didn't expect that the number two rookie from China would be so arrogant that he offended all the rookies. I'm guessing that this year's NBA games will be very exciting.”
The Hawks 'No. 4 rookie, DeAndre Hunt, even wrote on Twitter: "This (referring to Chen Ran's post-match comments) is simply too crazy! I'm looking forward to the match with Chen Ran. I'll use my block to welcome him!”
The ninth rookie from the Wizards, Raiji Yamura, who had Japanese blood, expressed subtly,""Please allow me to observe three seconds of silence for my Asian countryman's future career!”
Jia Morant was straightforward.""I will beat up Chen Ran in the upcoming NBA regular season! I will make this Chinese shut up!"
……
Except for Zion Williams, who was receiving treatment for his injury, almost all the rookies in the first round expressed their tough response to Chen Ran on social media.
"Explode at the beginning!" The challenge of China's No. 2 rookie!"
"Arouse public anger! Chen Ran, the second-place star, publicly challenged all the rookies!》
Rookie's Public Enemy: I'll be waiting for you in the NBA regular season!》
……
On the other hand.
Chen Ran, who had returned to his apartment in Manhattan, turned on his phone and received hot news notifications.
"Public enemy of rookies?"
Chen Ran could not help but narrow his eyes." Interesting!”
Chen Ran was very satisfied with the title of " public enemy of rookies."
Chen Ran wanted to attract the attention of the entire NBA.
When the 2017 second-place player, Granzo Bauer, participated in the draft, his big-mouthed father adopted the same strategy. Despite the remarkable effect of the fishing wheel, Brother Qiu became the focus of attention before he even played a game. Unfortunately, Bauer's current achievements were far from reaching Ball Dad's expectations.
As for Chen Ran, who had a god-tier general, he was very confident that his future achievements would surpass all the rookies this year.
At this moment, the phone rang.
The person who called was Shawn Ma, the general manager of the Nets.
"Hey! Chen! Mr. President just talked to me about your rookie contract. If you have time, come over. Our management is eager to complete the contract with you!”
Judging from Shawn's excited voice, Chen Ran guessed that his rookie contract salary would be quite high.
After all, the boss of the Harvey Center was famous for his generosity among the NBA team presidents.
In addition, the author didn't care about whether there were big shots who would give him tips or urge him to update. He just wanted to make the book's statistics look better and attract more popularity so that the author would have the confidence to continue writing.
