Chapter 202: Referendum (400 monthly votes plus more!) )
When Lu Fei saw the names of these stars, he immediately understood that it was Scarlett Johansson who was canvassing for him.
These stars all have one thing in common, they are all good friends of Scarlett Johansson.
Lu Fei picked up his phone and sent a text message to Scarlett Johansson: "Thank you!" ”
I guess I'm busy and haven't received a reply.
After a while, the mobile phone rang, and Lu Fei walked over to take a look, but it was not Scarlett Johansson's phone, the caller ID was Wang Zhizhi.
"Hey, Brother Zhi, what's wrong?"
"Did you read the news?" Wang Zhizhi asked.
"Look, there are a few celebrities I don't know to help me canvass ......for votes," Lu Fei said indifferently.
"No, you can watch Seattle TV today."
"Seattle TV?"
Lu Fei picked up the remote control and changed the station, only to see that the host of Seattle TV was calling on all Seattle citizens to help Lu Fei vote, and announced that all Microsoft employees would vote for Lu Fei today.
Three All-Stars from the Seattle Seahawks, quarterback Matt Hasselbeck, running back Sean Alexander, and tripper Walter Jones, came out en masse to canvass for Lu Fei.
Paul Allen is not afraid of the Trail Blazers' stars being jealous of this?
In the morning, it seemed that the streets and alleys of the United States were discussing the matter of voting for Lu Fei.
Voting for Lu Fei has become a keyword in today's Internet searches.
Lu Fei has become the most watched star in the United States, and even many people who are not basketball fans are asking who Lu Fei is? Where can I vote for Lu Fei?
Domestic fans even discovered the mistake as soon as Lu Fei fell behind Francis, and fans would open the voting website on the computer even when they went to work in the morning.
The words of greeting in the morning are also from, "Have you eaten?" ”
became, "Did you vote?" ”
On the voting website of the NBA's All-Star Poll, Lu Fei's vote skyrocketed on this day, and the increase was amazing, and the back-end technicians thought there was a problem with the server.
Finally, in the early morning of the next day, that is, before the start of the SuperSonics and 76ers game on January 19, the NBA website officially closed the All-Star voting channel, and Lu Fei surpassed Francis overnight to become the starting backcourt player of the Western Conference All-Star.
even almost blew up Kobe Bryant, who was ranked above him.
So far, the 2003-2004 All-Star Game roster has been released.
Western Conference starting lineup roster: Lu Fei, Kobe Bryant, Tim Duncan, Kevin Garnett, Yao Ming.
West bench roster: Shaquille O'Neal, Brad Miller, Andrei Kirilenko, Peja Stojakovic, Ray Allen, Dirk Nowitzki.
Eastern Conference starting lineup: Jermaine O'Neal, Tracy McGrady, Vince Carter, Ben Wallace, Allen Iverson.
Eastern Conference Bench Roster: Kenyon Martin, Ron Artest, Paul Pearce, Jason Kidd, Michael Reed, Byron Davis, Jamal Magloyer.
In terms of coaching, McMillan unexpectedly squeezed out Timberwolves head coach Sanders to become the coach of the Western Conference All-Star Game, and the Eastern coach was Carlisle, the Pacers coach who ranked first in the East and was also the first in the league at this time.
The SuperSonics also lost to the Pacers at the start of the season.
The Pacers currently sit first in the league with a win rate of over 70 percent, and this year their team is aiming for a championship.
Lu Fei also doesn't know if this year's Pacers can enter the Finals, originally the Pacers should have lost to the Pistons in the Eastern Conference Finals, but now Rasheed Wallace, one of the five Tigers of the Pistons, is in the SuperSonics, which gives the Pacers, who originally lost to the Pistons, a chance.
Well, it's a bit early to think about that.
However, the current record of the Pacers also shows that Carlisle is indeed the best head coach of the year, if not one of them.
On the other hand, the Western All-Star coach McMillan is obviously a little watery, and the Timberwolves and Lakers have a record before the SuperSonics, but because the SuperSonics' record this year has improved too much compared with last year, McMillan is more prominent.
At the same time, Lu Fei was also selected for the Rookie Challenge, and signed up for the Skills Challenge.
The Skills Challenge was a new addition in 2003, largely because in 2002, the American Dream Five, made up of NBA players, made up of the American Dream Five, won the World Championships in Indiana on home soil.
The U.S. team lost to Argentina and the former Yugoslavia, which not only disgraced the NBA, but also ended the U.S. men's basketball team's record of 58 consecutive wins in international competitions, and left the Americans out of the semifinals of the World Championship for the first time.
The NBA realized that the players' admiration for physical confrontation and individual performance, as well as their negligence in basic skills, were the key to the defeat of the Dream Five team, in order to motivate the players to pay attention to the three basic skills of "dribbling, passing, and shooting"; In order to allow American basketball to regain its lost halo, in 2003, the NBA added a new event to the All-Star Weekend - the Skills Competition.
Last year's skills event was won by Jason Kidd and runner-up was Gary Payton.
Lu Fei also wants to play with a skills championship.
However, for Lu Fei, it is clear that now is not the time to think about the skills game, the most important thing today is the game against the 76ers, and as for the All-Star Game, it still has to be in the back row.
On this day,
Lu Fei came to the arena early, and even before the staff worked, he had already started shooting training in the court.
After more than an hour, Lei Allen was about to walk into the locker room, when he suddenly heard the sound of basketball 'dong dong' in the arena, and walked over to see that it was Lu Fei.
"Coming so early?" Ray Allen said with a smile, and the voice interrupted Lu Fei's shot.
Lu Fei smiled: "Yes." ”
"When I played the Lakers, I didn't see you come to the arena so early, as for the 76ers?" Ray Allen Road.
The 76ers' record this season is not very good, and it is not even as good as the Cleveland Cavaliers, relying on Allen Iverson alone.
"When I played the Lakers, it wasn't me who was opposite Kobe, of course I don't have to worry, the 76ers are different, if Iverson blows up, can't I hang on my face?" Lu Fei raised his hand and flicked his wrist, and the basketball crossed a perfect arc and fell into the basket.
"Then who do you think is stronger, Kobe Bryant or Allen?" Ray Allen asked with a smile.
"Huh?" Lu Fei touched his nose: "This question is not easy to answer, after all, although I have fought with Kobe, it is not a direct match, not to mention that I haven't fought with Iverson yet, and I will only know the answer until I have played." ”
"Then you have to be careful, don't blame me for not reminding you that the kind of performance of Arenas in the last game would have been easier for Iverson to do."
Lei Allen patted Lu Fei on the shoulder and said with a smile: "You will definitely know the answer after you fight." ”
"Because, he's the answer!"
Lu Fei was stunned, for some reason he was a little nervous when Lei Allen said this, and even ......
There was an urge to stretch.
