Is Harden popular in China?

Wow, even their demigods are catching Beard fever.

 

LOL that's some serious machine translator fail there. It's a little hard to read some of that simplified crap, but what she says is more along the line of:

"I think this is the current trend:

Players the Rockets acquire automatically becomes underestimated. Examples: Lin, Asik, Harden.

Players the Rockets let go are automatically apotheosized. Examples: Martin, Lowry, Buddinger, Dalembert, Lamb, Lee.

While I'm at it, let's have a few more words: To sum it up, in the eyes of black people, the Rockets are just stupid. While the traded players were on the Rockets, the Rockets are the bottom of the pile in the NBA, and none of the players is any good. Once they are traded, they undergo immediate apotheosis. The Rockets team is just blind. It's a superstar graveyard that only acquires garbage and continue to be the bottom of the pile in the NBA.

Just saying, every year people say the Rockets are the bottom of the pile, so how come in the last three years they have been the champions in the draft and finishes in the top 15? How is that bottom of the pile?"

 

He's big in Japan.

 

Beardzilla?

 

Hardon is big in Amsterdam, Budapest, and Southern California. Only problem is they prefer him shaved.

 

Alphaville... one of my favorite. I remember the time. The year Rockets got the Dream and I was dreaming of hotties pretty much whole year. Those were the good old days.

 

Kobe and Nash are more popular than Harden for sure.

So no, he won't get voted in as a starter into the All-Star game at least not this season. I say he'll make it as a reserve if he does get into the game.

 

if not now, he will be soon :grin:

 

not sure which line u r referring to ,i think it should be "hei zi" which means haters,an internet slang actually.eg kobe hater.
it's not just you,I have trouble reading the internet posts initially because of the usage of internet specific slangs.

what i posted is the general board response ,something similar to real gm general board.

here's the rockets board:http://bbs.hupu.com/rockets

 

it's Guan Yu = HARDEN
that's taoist god of war (he is actually more like a Saint (historical character which existed for real)
totally badass!

chinese opera - i think it's sung in chinese dialect

wiki

 

No, I was not familiar with that internet slang, "hei zi" is literally "black son" or "black person" and that is internet slang for haters? Wow. That is pretty friggin...just wow.

 

Wait, we traded out Martin, Lamb and two first round picks and we couldn't even get straight Harden??? Another example of how Morey's assets have gotten us nowhere...

 

i don't know, but Lin is popular here

 

lol this translator seriously could start wars .....
Marcia_Gay_Harden is a hollywood actress

Grigori: "apotheosized"

wow, seriously impressed

never would have imagined reading that in a basketball forum ... props

 

mirus, so what are fans in China saying about the Harden trade? how much do they like it?

 

ah no... it's not racist term...sorry if i didnt make it clear.i think it derives from "mo hei" ie to blacken one's name .
so it could be like this "i am a morey basher/hater(Morey - hei)
the opposite is fan ie "mi" .not sure why they use this instead of literal translation of "fan".

will come back 2 u later nbafever .it's quite a lot of things to read at.

 

Now that slang I am familiar with, they use the characters for rice noodle (literally "powder" and 'thread') for fans because it sounds like "fans." I don't see "mi" (literally "obssessed") used much anymore. I wonder how long it will be before restaurants start selling Lin-only rice vermicelli in Houston?

 

i can only say about internet fans on the forum since i'm not a native nor i lived there.
rockets fan love this.in fact they are ectastic (maybe there's some minority that dont like nit).finally got a star after years,so it's the same with us lol.
and yeah,now they want another star(same).

like this one:

http://bbs.hupu.com/4515362.html

I'm a morey basher,but i should objectively evaluate the trade

My main dissatisfaction for Morey is mainly his thinking is unclear in terms of constructing the team,
when the core of Yao & T mac collapsed.There's only two roads.Use Tmac/yao for draft picks and get a new core.Two,
tank as early as possible.....no real stars
...
But I'm cheering for Morey after the trade for Harden...martin has injury history,and his contract is expiring
so he wont be a cornerstone for a franchise.
lamb is a 12th pick,but we dont know if he could
play like one.And also,the toronto & mavs pick ,are more likely to be mid lotto picks.
Harden is one of the few 09 picks that becomes are star.(other notables i remember are blake & holiday).
A 23 year old,with finals experience,high attendance rate,has experience with a contender,
a guy who use only two years to proof his worth .Chances are lamb & the two draft picks
(likely to be mid lotto picks are not likely to exceed harden's performance.

(Part translation only)

i cant find main boards(ie other fans ) comments.Will post later.
some other comments includes like what most other forumers would ask such
as is harden a max player?

http://bbs.hupu.com/4515995.html
There's an saying that whoever is the winner (in nba trades) is the one whose players
they traded are in the headlines.

I cant believe that when i opened hupu(SPORT FORUM & NEWS).The title is
"Shocking! Martin & Lamb traded to OKC!"

 

maybe the group i frequented?some commonly used are like Melo,whom they called "gua" (direct translation of melo).so a melo fan should be "gua-mi".
i dont like mi,but i'm not sure how wade,le bron fans called themselves.
vermicelli tasted the same so why i should buy a specially branded? lol.
it'll be funny btw:grin:

btw feel free to ask me to translate .tq.
