Chapter 14 The Difficulty of the Headline
"Hurry up, Lin, stop dawdling and pack your things so we can go out and have some fun. Monta said he's treating."
Not long after the reporters left, Little Potato called out to Lin Bei.
Lin Bei had no objection when he heard that he was packing his things to go out and have fun.
But when he heard that Monta Ellis was treating, he became less inclined to go.
The main issue is that he and Monta weren't very familiar with each other.
In today's game, Monta didn't pass the ball to Lin Bei much.
If it weren't for this guy in the middle actively calling for a screen for Lin Bei, Lin Bei would have suspected that the two of them had a grudge.
Lin Bei hesitated, but in the end, Little Potato said "Let's go, let's go," and forcibly pulled Lin Bei over.
The so-called "going out to have fun after the game" is really just going to a nightclub, dancing, drinking, and hugging a few girls.
Lin Bei, who was participating in this kind of gathering for the first time, was not reserved. He sipped a couple of low-alcohol drinks and ordered a girl.
But when Little Potato hugged a girl and said he wanted to take things to the next level, and asked Lin Bei to hug one too, promising to cover all the expenses, Lin Bei refused.
It's not that Lin Bei is chaste, nor is it that Lin Bei is a virtuous gentleman.
However, the little potatoes' games were a bit too complicated for Lin Bei; he wasn't that hungry yet.
but……
"It's definitely time to consider finding a girlfriend."
Little Potato left first, so Lin Bei had to take another taxi home by himself.
On his way home, he thought about finding a girlfriend and whether he should buy a car.
But thinking about the meager tens of thousands of US dollars in his pocket, Lin Bei gave up the idea.
In the car, Lin Bei took out his phone and opened Twitter.
He didn't tweet before his debut because there wasn't much to tweet.
The match is over, and it's definitely time to post something to maintain my persona as a daily blogger.
"A meager two-double for my debut, I hope it gets better and better."
Then, he flipped back and scanned the reactions of domestic fans.
"10 points, 14 rebounds, and 1 assist—Dalin's debut stats are the best among Chinese players!"
In chronological order, the statistics for Chinese players' NBA debuts are as follows:
王治郅6分3个篮板,巴特尔3个篮板1次助攻和1次抢断,姚明2个篮板,易建莲9分3个篮板1个抢断2个盖帽,孙悦4分。
Lin Bei's stats are all number one except for steals and blocks.
"It's just a weak team padding their stats, what's there to brag about, especially since it was a lost game."
There are white pieces, and of course there are black pieces.
But Lin Bei's performance speaks for itself, so it's not so easy to smear him.
This post has been met with various rebuttals.
"Why don't you try it?"
"Padding stats my ass! DeAndre Jordan was completely outplayed by Jeremy Lin this game. You're talking about padding stats? Just admit you didn't watch the game and only looked at the post-game statistics."
"That's right, anyone who watched the game knows that Da Lin's performance in this match was impeccable."
"It's not Lin's fault that the Warriors lost. Look at his plus-minus: +1. He's the only starter who isn't negative."
Lin Bei's plus-minus rating turned positive thanks to his aggressive play during the last six minutes of garbage time in the fourth quarter.
Although the key was that the Warriors played aggressively and fearlessly during garbage time, it must be admitted that the Warriors did not lose many points when Lin Bei was on the court.
Compared to Ekpe Udoh, his role is still quite significant.
First, there's his rebounding; he completely dominated DeAndre Jordan in that area.
Secondly, the Warriors have better spacing when he's on the court, especially in three-point situations.
After the game, Lin Bei realized that with his rebounding and three-point shooting, he was unmatched on the Warriors.
Even with Biedrins' return from injury, he couldn't take away Biedrins' starting position.
future?
As far as I can remember, the Warriors were going to trade Monta Ellis for Andrew Bogut in the last two seasons.
Although he disliked Bogut and always called him "Bogut," he had to admit that he was not as good as Bogut for the time being.
In particular, in terms of its impact on the competition.
"If I want to continue playing center and ensure that no one who joins the Warriors can take my place, perhaps I should think of ways to improve my defense and passing."
Improving defense is very difficult, and Lin Bei doesn't expect to suddenly have an epiphany. He can only hope that the system will bring back his [Talent: Defensive Awareness] next time.
As for passing, Lin Bei felt that he could practice a little. The high post playmaking at the top of the key and such was not too difficult.
After browsing through domestic websites for a while, Lin Bei gained a general understanding of the situation in China.
The "Lin Mama" group emerged after just one match.
However, most fans are still relatively neutral at present; they might say a few words of praise, but they won't go too far.
The important thing is that these fans have high expectations for the Warriors' upcoming games.
After summarizing this long list, Lin Bei flipped back to the previous page.
In the comments section of his recent tweet, someone asked him: "Do you really think LeBron doesn't feel a sense of belonging to the Heat? He once said: Not three or four, not five or six, but seven..."
Lin Bei replied with a smile, "How about we make a bet? Let's bet on whether LeBron will leave Miami in three seasons, that is, in the summer of 2014."
He wanted to make a big deal out of this, but unfortunately, the person who asked the question never replied.
……
The next morning, Lin Bei failed to do a full-on flip and could only roll over and sit up in bed.
The first thing I did wasn't to get dressed and wash up, but to open my laptop and browse the homepages of major authoritative media outlets.
ESPN's headline was: "LeBron's godlike performance in the opening game leads his team to avenge their loss to the Dallas Mavericks."
Lin Bei: Tsk tsk, LeBron James's lapdog!
Yahoo Sports' headline was: "Spurs start the season with rotations, Gregg Popovich: It's unavoidable due to the tight season."
Lin Bei: The Spurs can make headlines too?
The Athletic (TA): "Lakers lose their opening game, head coach Mike Brown again talks about 'the reasons for basketball'."
Lin Bei: No, aren't you from a media outlet headquartered in San Francisco? You didn't even mention the Warriors next to San Francisco after the opening day game?
Only the Bleacher Report: "Second-round pick discarded by the Heat scores 10 points and grabs 14 rebounds in his NBA debut. After the game, he utters a series of memorable quotes: Chris Paul needs to get his head checked, LeBron James is absolutely disloyal..."
Lin Bei: It has to be an open-air grandstand!
Unfortunately, only one of the four mainstream online media outlets made headlines.
There's also the NBA official website, but the NBA official website's reports are too formal, and Lin Bei knows he has no chance.
The rest, like Sports Illustrated and Slam Dunk, are magazines, only published once a week. Even if they were willing to put Lin Bei on the front page, it would be three or four days later.
CBS and Fox Sports are television networks, and "headline" means that they focus on discussing Lin Bei's topic extensively in their special programs.
Lin Bei only realized in retrospect that his post-match comments seemed a bit too violent.
Such violent remarks would be tantamount to CBS and Fox Sports taking sides if they followed suit, so they are unlikely to do so.
This was his first attempt, a trial run that showed him just how difficult it is to get on the front page of news, and how difficult it is to get a truly effective one.
Making headlines isn't actually that difficult; he made a violent statement, and Bleacher Report immediately followed suit.
However, getting a good headline is extremely difficult.
"Forget it, let's take it one step at a time. First, let's secure our starting position, and then we can consider further improving ourselves."
Lin Bei flipped through the Warriors' schedule, and the most important game for him was the Warriors' first game against the Heat this season.
"January 10th...wow! It's not far off?"
