147. Forced to hype

November 28.

After defeating the 76ers at home, the Magic, who was on the verge of the waves, was finally able to get a chance to breathe.

This opportunity is very valuable to the Magic's generals and head coach Stan Van Gundy.

And for Van Gundy, the team's biggest surprise is not only that it welcomes Lewis' personal comeback in the last game, but also that the team's potential newcomer Su Jiu will also make his comeback debut in the game against the Trail Blazers tomorrow.

I'm afraid this is definitely very important news for Van Gundy.

Not only because Su Jiu had already demonstrated his personal strength at the beginning of the season, but also because the Magic are too short of people in point guards this season.

In addition, he was already used to Su Jiu's defensive fighting spirit on the court, so when Su Jiu was not around, Van Gundy became more and more angry when he looked at Nelson in a daze.

It's already hard to bear Nelson's bad defense that often misses people on the court.

So just when the Magic Today officially announced that Su Jiu would come back in tomorrow's home game against the Trail Blazers, it instantly caused a stir among the entire Orlando fan club.

After all, during the period when Su Jiu was absent due to injury, Magic fans were in a mood like a roller coaster, and had a very bad experience.

This bad experience also made Magic fans miss the potential newcomer Su Jiu very much.

Let’s not talk about whether Su Jiu’s presence can bring qualitative changes to the Magic team. Just talking about Su Jiu’s fighting spirit when he was on the court moved the fans. This is also the main reason why fans began to like Su Jiu.

So after the official announcement that Su Jiu will return in the next game, the entire Magic team's home tickets are hard to get, and they were instantly sold out.

This is completely unexpected for the team management.

Not only that, the media have a very vicious vision. With this momentum, they are crazily promoting various news related to Su Jiu, and want to take this opportunity to attract the attention of Yibo'er fans and attract a wave of traffic for themselves.

It was in this situation that Su Jiu, as the person involved, was forced to hype in a daze.

And this hype has nothing to do with him personally, it is the media that have promoted him to heaven for their own interests...

Su Jiu, who knew this afterwards, was simply amused and crying, because although this seemed like a good thing, once he played this game in his debut after his comeback, the consequences would probably be very terrifying.

At that time, I’m afraid you will not only endure the anger from the fans, but also the slander and criticism from the media from all sides.

After all, exposure can make a person successful, but it can also ruin a person at the same time. This sentence definitely has its own reasons.

However, compared to Su Jiu's own inner concerns, the Magic Team's management seemed to have discovered some business opportunities later.

Taking this opportunity to promote this comeback battle from the media.

In addition, a tent was temporarily set up at the entrance of the ticket office of the stadium, and people were asked to sell Magic Team tops with Su Jiu No. 44 jersey printed on it.

If this is the case alone, it is not enough to show the madness of the Magic Team management. At the same time, the Magic Team management has temporarily recommended a delicacy.

The name of this food is simply unheard of, but the management has claimed that this food is Su Jiu's personal favorite. Su Jiu really wants to say this:

"I'm going to the uncle, why don't I know I love eating so much??"

This series of operations also helped Su Jiu win a lot of popularity, and made this originally mediocre regular season instantly attract attention.

However, Su Jiu, who was the person involved, was not happy at all at this time, and even felt a little sad.

"I'm a damn, you guys join hands to play me!!"

Although Su Jiu wanted to stand up and refute the food he loved to eat, after thinking about it after repeated thought, Su Jiu gave up this idea. After all, people were under the roof, so he had to bow his head...

Ahem, okay, to be honest, the Magic Team's management also asked someone to find Su Jiu, saying that they would give 20% of the sales of this food as a reward for false endorsement.

At first glance, 20% is not a lot, but Su Jiu has no effort at all. Apart from taking up a little bit of his fame, it can be said that he is completely useless to eat.

After repeatedly confirming that the food fully meets the local food standards, Su Jiu agreed without any hesitation. After all, who would be unable to get along with the money?

Not only that, on this day, the alliance also proved to people that this kind of thing is not just the specialty of the media.

As a business alliance, NBA will never miss this opportunity.

With this momentum, the league also launched the new rookie ranking list that should have been launched recently.

This list can be said to have attracted much attention in the United States. Although the attention in China is not very high, Americans also pay great attention to potential rookies compared to famous superstars.

In the official new rookie rankings, No. 1 pick Derek Ross has completed a complete personal rebound.

This time, Derek Ross also surpassed Mayo and Su Jiu, reaching the top with averaging 17.6 points, 4.1 rebounds and 5.6 assists per game.

And recently, he has led the Bulls to a three-game winning streak.

The second place in this list is OJ Mayo, who has been competing with Derek Ross.

Compared with Derek Ross, Mayo has averaged 18.5 points, 3.1 rebounds and 2.7 assists so far.

The reason why he ranks below Rose on this list is probably because the team's record is not as outstanding as the Bulls.

Compared with this subtle changes in rankings, the biggest change in this list is probably that Su Jiu personally experienced a serious decline.

Due to injuries, Su Jiu has missed up to four consecutive games so far, and his consecutive absence has also made Su Jiu fallen to fifth place in the rookie rankings in this list.

In addition to Derek Ross and OJ Mayo, the remaining two were Michael Beasley and Brooke Lopez.

As for Russell Westbrook, who should have appeared at the top of this list, the reputation in front of the media has declined significantly after the game with Su Jiu.

If there is no accident, Westbrook has been definitely eliminated early in the battle for the best rookie.

The different ranking changes of this list each update make the best rookie this year confusing.
