runaway point guard

Chapter 295 All-Star Voting

Zhong Yu's entire movement was extremely skillful.

Yao Ming did not expect that he could complete this action so skillfully.

He said with some emotion: "From [-] to now, it has been more than a year. Look at you, you really look like a pure southerner in the United States."

Zhong Yu waved his hand and said, "I just said casually that although I am from the south, I am from southern China."

"Seeing how proficient you are at eating crayfish, I really feel a little...how should I put it..."

Zhong Yu said: "This is also very normal... You also have some local customs in Houston now. I just said it casually just now, don't think too far... Come, I will teach you how to eat."

Zhong Yu finally taught Yao Ming, and then Yao Ming suddenly said, "Do you like the city of New Orleans very much?"

Zhong Yu thought for a while: "It's not like I like it too much, but I'm really used to this city. I'm used to the English accent here, I'm used to the people here, I'm used to the Hornets uniform."

"That's what I want to say." Yao Ming said, "Ayu...it's not that I want to separate you and your Paul..."

"Stop!" Zhong Yu's head was as big as a bucket, and he said, "What about me and my Paul... how do you calculate..."

Yao Ming smiled dryly: "A slip of the tongue...it's you and the Hornets..." At this point, he became serious.Zhong Yu also stopped joking with him, because he felt that Yao Ming really wanted to say something to him.From [-] to the present, Yao Ming has spent nearly seven years in this league, and he is also a veteran. What he said will definitely be of great help to him.

"You should start thinking about these issues now. If you are Ah Lian, I might not say so much to you. It's not that there is a difference between closeness and estrangement, but that your situation is different. I would also say To put it bluntly, Ah Lian's performance is indeed far worse than yours. Moreover, he is a first-round pick and has not yet faced contract issues. But you, this issue is imminent for you now."

Zhong Yu nodded, his face gradually became serious.

Indeed, even if he didn't want to face some problems, he had to face them.

"You have a 1+1 contract, that is to say, after the end of this season, you can jump out of the contract. At that time, whether to leave or stay is up to you..."

What Yao Ming said was not entirely correct. In his situation, the league still has regulations.After this year's contract ends, Zhong Yu will face a new choice, but it is likely to be the team's choice of him, not his choice of the team.There will be sayings such as matching contracts. Of course, his own will will also become the key...

"You are now in the Hornets, I think you are doing well..." Yao Ming said: "So, you need to consider these issues... I think the Hornets will definitely be willing to give you a big enough contract. But, Whether their financial resources can support your contract, you must know that they already have a maximum salary in the team, and there are several annual salaries of tens of millions... There is absolutely not much room for salary and salary.”

Zhong Yu nodded, but still didn't speak... If he had the habit of smoking, he might have already lit a cigarette by now.

Yao Ming said: "Then, have you made up your mind? Do you want to stay with the Hornets? Also, continue to fight with Paul..."

The last sentence is indeed very sad.

Zhong Yu knew that Yao Ming really cared about him, otherwise, no one would talk to him about such a topic.

Yao Ming didn't say anything after that, he was waiting for Zhong Yu.

Zhong Yu smiled wryly and shook his head, and then said: "How should I put it... Brother Yao, I haven't thought about many things right now, and I think I should take one step at a time. I don't think about those things for the time being, but I just feel that when things come When the time comes, I'll think about it carefully... Presumably at that time, I should have other ideas of my own."

Yao Ming nodded: "Okay... It was inconvenient for me to say more, but I said a lot today. You should think about it yourself. Of course, the Hornets may definitely give up other players and use big contracts to keep you. , Have you ever thought about that situation?"

Zhong Yu said: "It's just that if it really comes to that point, if it really comes to the point where I have to make a choice. Otherwise, I will choose to continue to stand with my brothers, or... I won't stay In New Orleans. Brother Yao, let me also say something from my heart, New Orleans is too small...really too small. Here, just talking about the population, 120 million, is not even comparable to an ordinary provincial capital city in our country Go. Maybe because I am still young, I also want to go to a bigger city.”

Yao Ming nodded and said, "You are right to think so. Indeed, the sudden appearance of a player like you in China, or even in Asia, is indeed something that many people have never thought of. Don't feel wronged."

"Brother Yao, you praised me..." Zhong Yu said: "Actually, it's meaningless to think about this kind of thing. Anyway, this season has just started... I'd better think about how to help our team win the championship."

Yao Ming laughed: "You kid..."

………………

After bidding farewell to Yao Ming, a wry smile appeared on the corner of Zhong Yu's mouth.

Seriously, how could he not have thought about these questions?Everyone in this alliance has learned to think a lot. Zhong Yu's current situation really needs to think more.

In many ways, staying with the Hornets may not help him much, the city is indeed too small.

He just felt that the brothers and fans in this place made it hard for him to give up...

However, after thinking about it a lot, he still felt that what he said just now was the greatest weapon to calm him down—things hadn't happened yet.Zhong Yu still has a lot of time to think about these things, so let him let nature take its course.

The arrival of January 2009 always makes people feel a little bit emotional. After all, two years alternate, many things have their own new meanings.

Zhong Yu won a complete victory in the game against the Rockets when he came back, and Zhong Yu's own score once again soared to more than 30 points, defending his dignity.

He also proved his strength.

After the Hornets-Rockets game, one of the NBA's major annual events kicks off...

That's when NBA All-Star voting began.The league announced the All-Star candidates for this year's East and West, and Zhong Yu's name was impressively included.

This year's All-Star voting, in fact, has a lot of suspense mixed in it.

First of all, it is still a problem in the West.

The All-Star point guard in the West...Whether Paul can blow up a few other players and serve as the starter, and Hornets fans are concerned about whether West and the like can enter the All-Star.

However, almost all fans' eyes are now on two of them - Kobe and Zhong Yu!
The question that everyone really cares about now is whether Zhong Yu can beat Kobe of the Lakers and get the first start of the Western Conference All-Star.

There is no doubt that Zhong Yu can become an All-Star player in the Western Conference. This is not only because there is a huge China behind him, and so many compatriots will vote for him.More importantly, Zhong Yu's current performance has reminded many people of Jordan, who has been away from the league for many years... There are even some people who think that Zhong Yu will be better than Jordan.

Now Zhong Yu maintains his position as the scoring leader, and the enjoyment of his games... and his huge fan base all over the world... these have become Zhong Yu's strong backing.

Therefore, there is no doubt that he can enter the roster of the Western Conference All-Star Game.Now, though, the question arises -- can he be the starting shooting guard in the Western Conference All-Star Game?

Can Zhong Yu beat Kobe?
If it is placed on other players, to say that a second-year student defeated Kobe in one fell swoop and reached the top... This sounds a bit like fantasy.However, Zhong Yu is completely different. It can be said that Zhong Yu's real success was with the Lakers last year, to be exact, with Kobe...

In those few games, Zhong Yu and Kobe often scored more than 30 points crazily. It was only in those few games that Zhong Yu was really known by people in the world.

And this season, Zhong Yu has become the league's new scoring leader, and he has become a guy who needs a lot of attention.

Zhong Yu has also cultivated many fans of his own throughout the world.

What's more, no one can ignore the huge China behind Zhong Yu...it is a super country with 13 billion people and nearly [-] million fans.

Last year's All-Star voting, Zhong Yu was still unknown at that time, but Yi Jianlian began to emerge, and almost defeated power forward Garnett in the All-Star voting in the Eastern Conference!
It is conceivable how powerful the Chinese fans are.

Of course, Kobe also has a large number of fans in China, but after all, only Zhong Yu is a Chinese with black hair and yellow skin.

Therefore, such a vote immediately attracted the attention of many fans.

Moreover, I don't know if it was a deliberate arrangement by the league. Anyway, on the fourth day after the start of the All-Star voting, there will be a game between the Hornets and the Lakers...

This is indeed a coincidence. The two enemies who fought seven games in the Western Conference finals last season will meet again... I guess they will be extremely jealous.

This season, Kobe's ranking on the MVP list was squeezed out by Zhong Yu and Paul.And now, Zhong Yu might threaten his status...Kobe might also feel uncomfortable.

Therefore, this game naturally attracted the attention of many people.

It is conceivable that the result of this game will affect the judgment of many fans, deciding whether they should vote for Kobe or Zhong Yu.

------

Just as the All-Star voting started, Zhong Yu received a call from his agent.

"Hey, Zhong Yu...haven't slept yet."

"I haven't slept yet... What's the matter?" Zhong Yu is also very familiar with his manager now.

"It's like this, the All-Star voting starts today, you have to think of a good way to gain some popularity...I have to tell you, if you have more votes than Kobe in the All-Star selection this time... then your future popularity will It’s hard to predict.”

"A good idea? For example?"

"For example, uploading videos on YouTube, asking for votes on Weibo, in short, there are many ways... It depends on how you choose now."

"This...you don't need to do that." Zhong Yu himself was not used to it. Originally, he felt that he had never thought that he would be an All-Star at least last year.And now the question they are discussing is whether they can enter the All-Star starting lineup and beat Kobe...

This jump is very big, and Zhong Yu is already very satisfied with his status, but he reminded him that this is indeed the case... If he can beat Kobe this time, it is conceivable that he may win the "Western West" all at once. The title of "first shooting guard" or even "the strongest shooting guard in the league".

Zhong Yu has never been a person who is indifferent to fame and fortune. If he was indifferent to fame and fortune, he would not play in the NBA.If he could gain more fame, Zhong Yu himself would not refuse.

"You have to prepare well. This time, the situation is more obvious. You have to prepare for a big fight. Chris Bosh of the Raptors, he has uploaded a video of himself dancing on YouTube..."

Zhong Yu was about to vomit, thinking of Bosh dancing, he found it very interesting...

"Okay, I'll try my best... I'll vote for myself on Weibo, and if I'm free, I'll post a video myself."

………………

The plane stopped in Los Angeles.

The players filed down.

"Damn...this is a big city..." Chandler sighed in Zhong Yu's ear: "You have to look at these buildings, and there are so many people."

Zhong Yu also felt a little emotional, Los Angeles is Los Angeles after all, and this kind of prosperity is indeed incomparable to other places.

"Really good."

"What are the arrangements for later? I guess you will say go directly to the hotel..." Chandler glanced at Zhong Yu, saw his expression, and sighed secretly for a while: "You really want to go directly to the hotel. I said you could walk around and find some pretty girls."

Zhong Yu shook his head: "I'm not going to the hotel, I still have a lot of things to do today... I have a commercial to shoot later, the time has dragged on a bit, I think those people are a little unhappy."

Chandler said enviously: "That's awesome, I have to say, I envy you very much, you can't make enough money."

Zhong Yu waved his hand and said, "Don't mention it, my annual salary is only 70... how can I compare with you."

Chandler put his arms around his shoulders and said, "In this world, fame means money. Your annual income will definitely exceed mine."

Chandler was right about this point, Zhong Yu is now a man with a net worth of 600 million US dollars.

So much money can be squandered wantonly.

It's just that Zhong Yu doesn't like spending money very much, and he doesn't have much place to spend it. He shot an advertisement, bought some food for Scarlett by the way, and spent the evening at Scarlett's.

The next day, the game between the Hornets and the Lakers began.

The game attracted more than 2 spectators.

Among them, there are many fans of Zhong Yu, and there are also some neutrals. In short, today's game attracted many people, and many of them still like to watch the excitement.

I changed the paragraph yesterday, sorry... because the network was disconnected... and I thought I could find someone to upload it for me at night, but it was only in the last hour that I found out that my phone was out of charge...

Sorry sorry.

Also, this month, I have something to go to Chengdu, and the update can only last 6K words a day for the time being, I hope everyone will bear with me.

After all, the 24 hours of this book dropped from 1K4 to the current 400, I don't know what happened, and I also need to think about the future plot.

Thank you for continuing to support me.
