When the Sonics defeated the Utah Jazz, twelve games were played at the same time to determine the winner. You must know that there are only 26 teams in the league. Today, there are [-] teams playing at the same time. Only four teams have byes today.

After this game is over, the regular season will enter a short timeout, which is also a time for national entertainment. There is no chance to enter the All-Star players. You can use this time to take a short vacation, get together with your family, or simply completely Go relax.

And players who can enter the All-Stars can show their abilities to the fullest under the attention of hundreds of millions of fans. Whether it is the main game, the sub-events, or the rookie game, they are all rare and famous. Opportunities are like a siege. Some people want to get in, while others don't want to waste their time on it, but they are embarrassed to disappoint the love of the fans.

The Supersonics can participate in the All-Star Game except for the head coach Carlesimo, only Stephen and Durant. Durant is going to participate in the Rookie Challenge. Stephen finally surpassed Ai in the final round of voting. Ferson has become a legitimate starter. Except for the two of them, no one among the players can show his face in the All-Star Game.

Coupard didn't want to go back to that boring home, and he didn't want to play alone, so he planned to go to the All-Star Game with Stephen to see the world, the reason was to see the big scene, so as to boost his motivation, For this reason, Stephen also felt that this guy should be shown what true glory is, instead of showing off in front of a bunch of little people, just being an ordinary player is enough, so he brought this guy along.

Since holding the All-Star Game is not a team's business, all teams have to participate, so the Sonics also sent their own charter plane to transport four All-Star participants and more than 20 staff members to New Orleans, Plus some props and volunteers.

The All-Star game was given the concept of a show from the very beginning, and it was full of entertainment from top to bottom. Entering the All-Star Game does not mean that you are a group of people with superior strength in the league, but just fans The person I like the most, this is the meaning of the All-Star starter.

They may not be the most capable or dominant players in each position, but they must be the most popular players. Just like Yao Ming, since he entered the league, he has been the starting center of the Western All-Stars, and the number of votes is far ahead. The league's No. [-] center at the time, O'Neal.

Although Olney's dominance is unrivaled, although he is also a player who will please the fans very much, although he seems to be at ease in the All-Star show, the fans are more willing to see another player who is absolutely different from O'Neal Players appear here.

It has to be said that no matter what race or ethnicity they are, they all have a certain curiosity-seeking mentality. Although Yao Ming's personal temperament is definitely not suitable for the entertainment-oriented atmosphere of the All-Star Game, they still want to select Yao Ming for the purpose of Looking at Yao Ming's clumsy look.

Since Stephen's application for citizenship has been approved, this is equivalent to giving up American citizenship automatically, because the United States allows the second nationality, but China does not allow it, so Stephen has given up American nationality while possessing Chinese nationality, and he The nationality item of the data on the official website of the league and the players has also been corrected to China, and he has also become a part of the international players. Tony Parker and Ginobili also called Stephen specifically to talk about this matter, saying that everyone has become the same identity. .

Stephen and Yao Ming are two All-Star starters, plus Yijianlian who participated in the All-Star Rookie Challenge, equals China has three players participating in the All-Star, which makes the domestic fans suddenly excited like a sky turned upside down Similarly, even in the main match, all the players who can participate in the All-Star Game are added together, but there are only a few dozen, and we accounted for three.

Many people are still looking forward to it, let’s forget this year, and next year, let’s use the theory of strength in numbers and send Yijianlian to the All-Star Game, that’s called mighty domineering. Can dominate the All-Stars forever.

This kind of thinking is very common in China. Many young people tirelessly voted for them on the website day after day. Watching them all enter the All-Stars, they felt that their tiredness was swept away, and they didn't notice it. The website they voted on was basically the official website of the league, but a poll launched by some domestic sports websites.

Formal voting must be conducted on the official website of the league, and an account must be registered, but this argument not only affects domestic fans, but also affects players and fans from other countries, not only Stephen's votes are considered domestic fans The votes cast, even with Yao's name, are considered to be extremely watery.

The league did not explain too much, but only listed the number of physical votes in the entire North American region. It also stated that no matter the language of the official website, the voting page has strict technical means to limit the concentration or large number of votes. Fans do not need to doubt the votes. authenticity.

In terms of the number of physical votes in North America, Yao Ming and Stephen's votes are still high. There is no doubt that the All-Stars will start.

Originally, Stephen's naturalization caused great controversy in China, even worse than that in the United States. Many well-known figures were involved. Some said that the country is eager for quick success and quick benefits, and engages in gold medal supremacy. Sports should follow the road of universal popularization instead of Recruiting players from abroad like this, even if he has half Chinese blood, then the other half is not.

Some people say why a player uses the country's special talent clause, and what kind of special talent is a basketball player? How many people here are squeezing their heads and trying to get in?

Many people regard the green card as a proof of American citizenship. In fact, this is wrong. A green card is just a right of permanent residence, which allows a foreign citizen to live permanently on American soil and work here, but cannot enjoy normal benefits and political national treatment. .

In fact, it is similar to a passport without a visa date. You are still a person from another country, but you can live here, just like Yao Ming. He got a green card because of his work, because playing for the team is also a kind of life. work, and Stephen is now holding a green card.

After obtaining this permanent residency, Stephen also learned some things about nationality. For example, the United States does not recognize dual citizenship, but if you are originally an American citizen, you have a second nationality from another country because of your blood. , this situation can exist by default, as long as the country allows dual citizenship.

But if you are not a U.S. citizen and want to naturalize in the United States, unless you are a child born in the United States or a child whose parents are both Americans and have lived in the United States for more than ten years but were born abroad, you can only obtain permanent residency You can apply to the Citizenship and Immigration Services Bureau for more than five years, and you have been away from the United States for no more than half a year in the five years, or you have been married to a U.S. citizen for more than three years and have not left the United States for more than half a year.

To apply, you need to test your English listening, reading and writing skills. You need to have good credit and criminal records, no bad hobbies, and understand the basic history of the United States. Exist as a U.S. citizen.

This is "lenient exit and strict entry", which implements two different treatments internally and externally. If one's own nationals want to have a second nationality, as long as the other country does not object, there is no need to pursue it themselves, but those who want to come in must Give up your original nationality.

In fact, if Stephen is not a celebrity, he can still enter and exit the customs with an American passport, and if the Chinese side does not pursue it, he can even regain American citizenship, but for people like Stephen, nationality is not important. All kinds of relief, not enthusiastic about participating in politics, there is basically no difference between nationality and permanent residence, only taxes are always inevitable.

The overwhelming domestic controversy disappeared in less than ten days. At most, when people read sports news or reports, when they saw Stephen, they would point to him and say, "This guy is Chinese now. "There is no difference in other things, and the same is true for the United States. It turns out that all the things that Mordance was worried about did not happen.

This made Stephen realize that as a player, your performance on the court is the most important and the most concerned. As for the other things, not many people care about it. Think about it, Kobe’s qj case. The movement is much bigger than this, and how many times he has been in court, but in the end it did not damage his reputation.

When you perform well, no one will criticize you, the team will pamper you, the media will pamper you, the fans will love you, it seems that the whole world is looking after you, making you feel that everything is going well, but when Once you start to go downhill, the team hates you, your teammates criticize you, the media takes pleasure in destroying you, and the fans start to leave you.

Basically, every player will encounter this situation. The higher you go, the smoother you go, and the harder you fall, unless you have enough honors and achievements to offset this rule. , and the best way to deal with it is to always maintain a good performance and not give others a chance to make trouble.

Looking at Durant's calm rock-like expression, he is not at all excited to participate in the All-Star Game. He doesn't look like a rookie player who is not even 20 years old. The last rookie player who is as mature as him is probably only zero. LeBron James in Trinity, but LeBron James has a face bonus, but Durant does not. He is also a rookie this year. Odenbai has an uncle's face, which is not as calm and calm as Durant Well, such a player will undoubtedly become a great weapon.
