February 11.
After defeating the 76ers at home, it was finally possible to give the Magic, which was on the cusp of the wave recently, a chance to breathe.
This opportunity is very valuable for the generals of the Magic and head coach Stan Van Gundy.
And for Van Gundy, the team's biggest surprise is not only the personal comeback of Lewis in the last game, but also the team's potential rookie Su Jiu will also usher in his comeback debut in tomorrow's game against the Trail Blazers.
I'm afraid this is definitely a very important news for Van Gundy.
Not only because Su Jiu has shown his personal strength at the beginning of the season, but also because the Magic team is really short of point guards this season.
In addition, he was used to Su Jiu's defensive fighting spirit on the field, so when Su Jiu was not around, Van Gundy became more and more annoyed when he saw Nelson who was in a daze.
It's already hard to bear Nelson's poor defense that often misses people on the field.
So when the Magic officially announced today that Su Jiu would return in tomorrow's home game against the Trail Blazers, it instantly caused a commotion among the fans in Orlando.
After all, during Su Jiu's absence due to injury, the mood of the Magic fans went up and down like a roller coaster, and they experienced a very bad experience.
This bad experience also made Magic fans miss the potential newcomer Su Jiu very much.
Leaving aside whether Su Jiu's presence on the court can bring qualitative changes to the Magic, the fans are moved by Su Jiu's fighting spirit when he is on the court. This is also the main reason why fans began to like Su Jiu.
So after it was officially announced that Su Jiu would return for the next game, the entire Magic team's home tickets were hard to find, and they were snapped up in an instant.
This can be said to be completely unexpected for the team management.
Not only that, but the media are very vicious, using this momentum to crazily publicize all kinds of news related to Su Jiu, hoping to take this opportunity to catch the attention of fans and attract a wave of traffic for themselves.
It was under such circumstances that Su Jiu, the person involved, was forced to carry out a hype in a daze.
And this hype has nothing to do with him personally, it's just that the media have promoted him to the sky for their own benefit...
Su Jiu, who knew this after the fact, couldn't laugh or cry, because although it seemed like a good thing, once he messed up the game in the first show after his comeback, the consequences would be very terrible.
At that time, I am afraid that it will not only bear the anger from the fans, but also bear the slander and criticism from all media.
After all, exposure can make a person, but it can also destroy a person at the same time. This sentence definitely has its truth.
However, compared to Su Jiu's inner worries, the management of the Magic team seemed to have discovered some business opportunities belatedly at this time.
Taking this opportunity is also fueling the flames from the media to promote this comeback battle.
In addition, a temporary tent was set up at the entrance of the ticket office of the arena, and people were found to sell Magic team shirts with Su Jiu's No. 44 jersey printed on them.
If this alone is not enough to explain the madness of the Magic team management, at the same time, the Magic team management even temporarily recommended a delicacy.
The name of this delicacy Su Jiu is almost unheard of, but the management announced that this delicacy is indeed Su Jiu’s personal favorite. Su Jiu really wants to say something about this:
"I'm going to uncle, why didn't I know that I love food so much??!"
This series of operations also successfully helped Su Jiu win a lot of popularity, and even made this ordinary regular season game instantly become eye-catching.
However, Su Jiu, who was the person involved, was not happy at all at this time, and even felt a little sad.
"I'm Nima, you join hands to play me!!"
Although Su Jiu wanted to stand up and refute the delicacy that the magic management falsely advertised as his favorite, but after thinking twice, Su Jiu gave up this idea. After all, people are under the eaves, so they have to bow their heads...
Cough, well, the truth is that the management of the Magic team also asked someone to find Su Jiu, and said that they would use 20% of the food sales as a reward for false endorsements.
20% doesn't seem like a lot at first glance, but Su Jiu didn't give anything at all. Apart from taking a little bit of his fame, it can be said that it is completely free.
After repeatedly confirming that the food fully meets the local food standards, Su Jiu agreed without any hesitation. After all, who would be against money?
Not only that, but on this day, the league also proved to people that gossiping is not just a good game for the media.
As a commercial league, the NBA will never let go of this opportunity.
With this momentum, the league also launched a new rookie ranking list that should have been launched recently.
This list can be said to have attracted a lot of attention in the United States. Although the attention in China is not very high, compared to the already famous superstars, Americans also pay a lot of attention to those potential rookies.
In the new official rookie rankings, No. [-] pick Derrick Rose can be said to have completed a complete personal rebound.
This time Derrick Rose also surpassed Mayo and Su Jiu successively, reaching the top with an average of 17.6 points, 4.1 rebounds and 5.6 assists per game.
And in the near future, he led the Bulls to a three-game winning streak.
The second place on this list is OJ Mayo, who has been competing with Derrick Rose.
Compared with Derrick Rose, Mayo's averages of 18.5 points, 3.1 rebounds and 2.7 assists so far are not stingy at all.
The reason why it ranks below Rose on this list is probably because the team's record is not as good as the Bulls.
Compared with this slight change in the ranking, the biggest change in this list is probably the serious decline of Su Jiu personally.
Due to injuries, Su Jiu has missed up to four games in a row so far, and the continuous absence also caused Su Jiu to drop to the fifth place in the rookie rankings in this list.
Apart from Derrick Rose and OJ Mayo, the ones ahead of Su Jiu are Michael Beasley and Brook Lopez.
As for Russell Westbrook, who should have appeared at the top of this list, it was because his reputation in front of the media had seriously declined after the match with Su Jiu.
If there is no accident, then Westbrook has been determined to be out early in the battle for the best rookie so far.
And the ranking changes that are different in each update of this list also make this year's best rookie confusing.
Even some online fans listed the competition for the best rookie as the most intense competition in the past ten years...
I hope that all brothers can vote for recommendation after reading the book. Compared with those great authors, every recommendation vote from you is my code word motivation! !
