Chapter 342 Popularity soars, the battle of the black funeral
"Shocking the past! 71 points in a single game in the playoffs!"
"White horse and silver gun, Chen Yan single-handedly captured Los Angeles!"
"Reverse Hollywood, the villain defeats the superhero!"
"Incomparable personal performance, Chen Yan personally buried the Lakers at Staples Center!"
"The first Mr. 70 in the history of the playoffs!"
"Chen Yan smiled slightly, 71 points is just the beginning for him!"
"Battle of the Gods! Chen Yan helps the Suns get the series match point!"
"Beyond Jordan! The strongest rookie in history is born!"
Chen Yan’s 71-point performance shocked the world!
Chen Yan made the front pages of 150 media outlets around the world!
This sensation was no less sensational than when Kobe Bryant scored 81 points. In a sense, Chen Yan's 71 points was more difficult because it was in the playoffs or the Western Conference Finals.
Domestic fans and media went crazy!
For fans, it was unimaginable to have an NBA-level guard in China. However, Chen Yan actually broke the playoff single-game scoring record that had been held by the God of Basketball for 20 years.
.
It’s so exciting!
For the fans, this is all so dreamlike.
Domestic media are exaggerating and boasting, and many media have begun to boast that Chen Yan has surpassed Jordan.
Yes, this is true based on the highest score in a single game in the playoffs, but from a career perspective, the two are not comparable.
Jordan has won 6 championships, plus various personal honors, while Chen Yan has a blank slate and is working hard for the first championship in his career.
But the media likes to do this kind of stunt to win the attention of fans.
In order to meet the needs of fans, "Sports News" specially broadcast a 5-minute game news at noon. In addition to the introduction of the game, "Sports News" also repeatedly played the highlights of Chen Yan and two
A killer scene.
"Sports News" = "Chen Yan News" This meme was once again spoiled by fans...
Chen Yan's popularity also skyrocketed after this game!
The NBA official website released statistics. After the G5 Battle of Tianwang Mountain, the number of clicks on the NBA official website hit a historical record, reaching 2.8 million people, a skyrocketing increase of more than 100%!
A USA Today poll showed that 59% of fans now support the Suns, while only 41% support the Lakers. Even the game ratings have increased to 17%, which is the highest since Jordan retired.
These are directly related to Chen Yan's crazy personal performance.
The Suns officially designed a doll for Chen Yan, with the same hairstyle, the same elbow pads, wearing the Suns No. 0 jersey, and the doll maintained Chen Yan's classic celebration move of "gentleman's bow" after defeating the Lakers.
As soon as this doll was posted on the official website, fans started clamoring for it. In less than two hours, orders from all over the United States paralyzed the system. Even if the toy factory was operating at full capacity and workers were processing it day and night, they still couldn't produce so many dolls. It was an exaggeration.
Chen Yan's high popularity is also a happy worry, but for Taiyang, their worries are far more than that.
Before the start of the G6 game, the Suns released news that Nash's back injury had worsened and his participation in Game 6 was doubtful.
As good fortune never comes in pairs, misfortunes never come singly. The day before the start of G6, Chen Yan also sprained his ankle in the training match.
This is not a smoke bomb released by the Sun. In the G5 battle, Chen Yan worked hard, which caused his muscles to be very tired. In the training match, he did sprain his ankle in a non-confrontation.
Compared with confrontation injuries, non-confrontation injuries are more terrible, which shows that the player's body can no longer withstand the pressure.
However, Chen Yan resumed walking after a short rest. It was not because of his amazing bones, but because of the system.
Chen Yan spent a total of 59 honor points to repair his body!
The role of Chen Yan in storing honor points was revealed at this moment. If there are not enough honor points to repair his body's injuries, then Chen Yan will inevitably miss G6 or even G7, and in that case the direction of the entire series will change.
Not only the Suns, there is also bad news for the Lakers.
After the G5 game, Kobe's finger injury worsened, and his knee also swelled.
But based on Chen Yan's understanding of Kobe, he would play in a wheelchair in the Western Conference Finals, so the news that he was doubtful was just a smoke bomb thrown by the Lakers.
As soon as the news broke that star players from both sides were doubtful, the most nervous person was not the management of both sides, nor the fans of both sides, but NBA President David Stern.
The reason for the high ratings of this year's Western Conference Finals is the confrontation between Chen Yan and Kobe Bryant.
If these two people are absent from G6, there is no doubt that the ratings of this game will drop off a cliff.
May 28th is the day when the Suns vs. Lakers G6 begins. The game starts at the American West Arena, the home of the Suns.
This game was broadcast live in more than 200 countries around the world and in 36 languages, which also set a new NBA record.
Obviously, the media in various countries have treated the Western Conference Finals as the Finals.
Compared with the upcoming finals, the media unanimously believe that the Western Conference Finals is much more valuable, and the talk that the winner of the Western Conference Finals is the championship has long been spread.
It’s not that the outside world looks down on the Eastern Conference, but the gap in strength between the Eastern and Western Conference this year is too great. The Cavaliers, ranked second in the Eastern Conference, can only rank seventh in the Western Conference in terms of wins, which is about the same as the Nuggets who were swept by the Suns in the first round.
Hundreds of millions of fans are paying attention to this game, and domestic fans are even more crazy. In the last game, Chen Yan scored 71 points in a single game, which directly pushed the popularity of basketball to the highest peak in recent years. Coupled with Kobe's own traffic,
So this game has almost reached the point where every fan must watch it.
Needless to say, college students, regardless of whether they have classes or not, just gather in the cafeteria to watch the game!
Compared with the dormitories, college students think that watching football in the cafeteria is more atmospheric.
As for working people and middle school and high school students, it is much worse. If you can ask for leave, take it. If you can't, then skip classes and classes. If that doesn't work, you can only secretly watch text live broadcasts on your mobile phone, or stay up until noon break and sneak home to watch it.
ball.
At the pre-match press conference, fans breathed a sigh of relief when the head coaches of both teams confirmed that Chen Yan and Kobe Bryant would appear in the starting lineup.
When entering the player tunnel, the attentive media discovered that all Suns players were uniformly wearing black clothes.
This was proposed by Chen Yan, and his explanation and the media's explanation was that this was not an ordinary Western Conference finals, but a funeral battle.
All Suns players wore black uniforms for only one purpose, and that was to mourn their rival Lakers.
