Chapter 167 Little Nelson's Thanks
Dallas Mavericks General Manager's Office.
It's 1 o'clock noon now.
Little Nils was not in the mood to eat.
He was scratching his hair with a haggard look on his face.
He looked at the ticket sales record for the Mavericks' next game again, and his eyes were already a little bloodshot.
This sales record clearly shows that the attendance rate for the Mavericks' next home game is nearly 20% higher than the attendance rate for the previous game.
But Nelson would rather not have this 20% growth now.
Because their opponent in the next game is the Trail Blazers.
It’s funny to say that if you show this report to any Dallas fan, they may know the reason for the increase?
These 20% of fans came to watch Wang Dachun's game.
The recent Dallas Mavericks ticket sales have been a bit bleak, with attendance only 2/3 of last season.
Why does this happen?
The Mavericks have a pretty good record this season.
Currently 20 wins and 7 losses, ranking second in the Western Conference.
Do you think this is a great achievement?
But the Trail Blazers are ranked first in the Western Conference.
Moreover, the Trail Blazers started the new season with a 21-game winning streak, attracting all the attention.
This makes the Mavericks' second-place record in the Western Conference look a bit bleak.
Of course, this is not the main reason for the loss of Mavericks fans.
Although there are indeed some reasons in it.
The main reason is from a damn photo!
This damn photo! It became the trigger for the loss of Mavericks fans.
When Little Nelson thought about this reason, he felt a little ridiculous.
Isn't this just a photo of Wang Dachun standing under a streetlight looking at a house?
Although there is no Wang Dachun's face in this photo, it is from the side and only the outline can be seen roughly.
But anyone familiar with Wang Dachun should be able to tell who is in this photo.
Little Nelson didn't understand how a photo could have such magic power.
Allowing so many fans to give up the home team they have always supported.
When this photo first came out, not many people cared about it, including Nelson himself.
He even said with some irony that this was a very "artistic" photo.
But this artistic photo, I don’t know when, started to be spread and circulated by some people on the Internet.
And it comes with many different opinions and explanations.
Some people say this is the origin of human nature.
Some people say this is true love.
Some people say this is the loneliness you feel when you are hurt.
someone said….
A lot of people have been saying….
When Nelson saw these insights and explanations, he also wanted to say something.
"Nima, a crappy photo can explain so many things and rise to the level of the origin of human nature. Why not take it to participate in a photography award? Maybe it can even win a prize!"
Nelson really got it right.
This photo really won an award.
This photo won the PND Web Photography Award.
Although this kind of award is just a traffic award on the Internet and is not officially recognized.
But it has once again heated up the popularity of this incident in Dallas.
More and more people know, and more and more people believe.
And as the level of the incident escalated, Nelson Jr. was involved again.
At that time, Nelson Jr. had just forced Wang Dachun to break the rebounding record at the Mavericks' home court. It caused a series of negative impacts, and he barely had time to suppress them. He didn't even have time to breathe.
Immediately afterwards, some of his dark information and dark history were constantly uncovered.
Later, it started to involve all the Mavericks' management.
The Internet began to curse the Mavericks and Nelson, and fans also began to curse the Mavericks and Nelson.
"They're just a bunch of idiots!"
"All the potential rookies have been traded away by them!"
"The ones we got back are all remnants!"
"Without these operations, I would have been the championship long ago!"
"Maybe there will never be a championship!"
"King, you are so pitiful!"
"Get Nelson out of here!"
"Little Nelson even takes his father's position! Beast!"
"…………"
This has caused more and more fans to become resistant to the Mavericks.
The incident gradually evolved to directly affect the Mavericks' basketball market.
At that critical moment, Nelson Jr. wanted to thank all the Mavericks players.
It is they who use victory after victory to maintain the fans who are about to lose.
It was their second record in the Western Conference that gave some fans who were about to give up confidence in the Mavericks again.
Through their efforts, the Mavericks' attendance rate was finally able to maintain 2/3 of its original level.
He would also like to thank his boss Cuban. Although he scolded him several times, he still gave him time to adjust.
He even wanted to thank Aldridge. Because of Aldridge's injury, the Trail Blazers' winning streak ended.
This will make the Mavericks very likely to rush to the first position in the Western Conference.
At that time, he believed that no one would question his operation and the Mavericks' market would definitely pick up again.
He also wants to thank Oden, because Oden is currently averaging 11 points and 10 rebounds per game. He has proved that Oden is not that watery anymore!
But before Nelson's thanks were sent out, Oden was injured!
In the last game against the Rockets, Oden injured his knee again.
The final result of the injury was that Oden was completely eliminated for the season.
Little Nelson was about to cry.
"Why didn't you get injured earlier or later? Why did you get injured just before this game? And it was completely canceled for the whole season!"
Little Nelson felt that his life was really miserable.
He originally planned to let Oden improve his statistics in this game, at least to let the fans know that Oden is not much worse than Wang Dachun.
If Oden is not injured and performs better, and the Mavericks can defeat the Trail Blazers, fans who came to watch Wang Dachun's game may return to the Mavericks camp.
But now these are completely in vain.
This means that he must do everything possible to suppress Wang Dachun's performance at the Mavericks' home court. He must not be allowed to have good statistics.
If Wang Dachun were allowed to play at the Mavericks' home court again, he would get super high statistics again.
Not to mention the 20% of fans who came to watch Wang Dachun's game. Even the 2/3 of his original fans may be lost again.
Little Nelson lay on his office chair, looking at the ceiling, maintaining this posture, thinking for a whole afternoon.
Just as the sun was about to set, I suddenly sat up.
Na picked up the phone and dialed a number vigorously. He seemed to have made up his mind.
The phone rang a few times and then the call was answered.
"Hey, Mr. General Manager, how come you have time to call me!" came the voice on the other end of the phone.
Chapter completed!
