Chapter 131: All-Stars Are Coming
The North American League All-Star Game is an exhibition game held by the National Basketball Association in the fifties of the last century that brings together many stars of the North American League, and every year the 15 most popular stars from the East and West regions form two teams to hold a winner-winning game.
By 1973, the date of the All-Star Game in the North American League was set as an official holiday, and the All-Star Game lasted for three days, so there were three days off in the United States.
Every year, the All-Star is the most popular game in the North American league after the Finals, and the impact is huge.
Meng Xiaohao was suspended by the league last season because of a conflict with the team's starting point guard, and was not allowed to participate in the rookie game, so Meng Xiaohao did not enjoy the All-Star Game live in the first year.
But this time, Meng Xiaohao will not miss it......
To Meng Xiaohao's surprise, in the All-Star voting, he ranked fourth in the Eastern backcourt and was a solid substitute All-Star.
entered the All-Star in the second year, which is a great honor for Meng Xiaohao.
Of course, Meng Xiaohao himself also knew in his heart that he could win the fourth place, which was inseparable from Chinese fans.
In the Eastern backcourt, it was Lucas who got the All-Star start, which is beyond doubt, because Lucas's strength has really conquered countless fans.
But there are still many people who think that Lucas is not suitable for the All-Star entertainment game.
Their reason is very simple, Lucas is playing too seriously, and he can't tolerate a little sloppiness, as can be seen from last season's rookie game, the other players are enjoying and playing, and he is playing seriously, which has caused dissatisfaction among many players, and even almost had a quarrel.
But Lucas, with his own strength and his weird personality, gained many fans and forced himself to start.
Meng Xiaohao has no dissatisfaction or envy or jealousy that Lucas can enter the starter, he knows why Lucas can enter the starter, but he can't, so he has to work hard to surpass Lucas.
Of course, now Meng Xiaohao doesn't want to think about surpassing Lucas, and now, enjoying the All-Star is the most important thing.
The North American League's 2021 All-Star is really good to be held in New York, which is the 10th time that New York has hosted All-Stars, and it is indeed the largest and most prosperous city in the United States, and the economic benefits created are also terrifying to the naked eye.
As the only player from the New York Fortune Players to make it to the All-Star Ratings, countless New York fans have sent him their blessings, and they know that this young man, leading the Fortune Players, is on the right track......
……
"Xiaohao!" Edward was in Meng Xiaohao's apartment at this time, and he brought a few more contracts for Meng Xiaohao to consider.
Meng Xiaohao looked at the contract and said, "What's wrong?" ”
"Upcoming All-Stars, are you looking forward to it?" Edward asked.
"Of course I'm looking forward to it!" Meng Xiaohao nodded, "This is a big event in the North American Alliance!" But then, Meng Xiaohao's face was not very good-looking, "Aren't these contracts very good?" Either it's a matter of money, or there aren't many terms in my favor! ”
Edward nodded, "I know, so I'll show you!" ”
Meng Xiaohao shook his head and put the contract aside.
"The all-star cover I shot before was good, and the commercial was also good, it seems that you are still very suitable for acting!" Edward looked at Meng Xiaohao with a smile and said.
Meng Xiaohao glanced at Edward, "Don't lift me up!" How can I be as good as you say! Besides, with my appearance, how can I act well! ”
"Oh yes! Something suddenly occurred to me! Edward ignored Meng Xiaohao's eyes and said......
"What about the female reporter who was previously said to be at Columbia University's School of Journalism? You haven't had any contact lately, have you? ”
Meng Xiaohao shook his head, "Although she occasionally talks on Facebook or WeChat, she said that she has been interviewing me, and she has not seen his so-called interview." ”
Edward looked at Meng Xiaohao with a lewd expression, "It seems that there is still a connection, I think that little girl is quite in line with your aesthetics, why don't you consider it, and add some exposure by the way?" ”
Meng Xiaohao glanced at Edward again.
"What are you thinking about this day, what are you considering, what exposure is added, and my exposure is not enough now?"
"But sometimes certain exposures are more effective!"
Edward looked at Meng Xiaohao with a grin, there was no kindness in his smile, it was all obscene and evil.
"Pull it down! Stay away from me, you obscene uncle! ”
Meng Xiaohao didn't like Edward's expression very much, and immediately pushed Edward out of his apartment.
Watching Edward walk away, Meng Xiaohao sighed helplessly, "Edward, this person, really!" Sometimes it's annoying! ”
……
"Are you there?"
Three hours after Edward left, Meng Xiaohao's mobile phone rang, and it was the female reporter at Columbia University's School of Journalism, Li Xueqing, whom Edward had said.
"Edward, is your mouth open?"
Meng Xiaohao smiled bitterly twice, and then turned on the phone......
"Yes, what's wrong?"
"Well, do you remember that you promised me that you would be interviewed by me?"
When Meng Xiaohao saw this, he smiled slightly, it seems that he has something to ask for.
"Of course I do! How? Want to interview me? ”
"Yes, yes! Our school now has an interview assignment, so I want to interview you! Yes! ”
"Of course you can!" Meng Xiaohao smiled, "Since I promised you, I will definitely accept your interview!" ”
"Great! Is it okay after the All-Star Game? Did you make the All-Star bench? ”
"What?" Meng Xiaohao was frightened, "You want to interview me after the All-Star Game?" ”
"Yes, yes!"
Meng Xiaohao smiled bitterly twice, it seems that this Li Xueqing still doesn't know how crazy the reporters of the North American League are after the game, they will go crazy to rob people in order to get the scoop for themselves, the media at that time is really terrible.
"You...... Are you sure? ”
Meng Xiaohao didn't believe that Li Xueqing would arch all the media people after the main match, and then come to him.
"It's terrible if they don't! You have to be mentally prepared, even if I promise you, I can't guarantee that I will be snatched away by other media, you know? ”
Meng Xiaohao must give Li Xueqing a preventive shot, in case she really didn't interview herself, and then make a fuss in front of herself, Meng Xiaohao believes that Li Xueqing can do that kind of thing.
"It's okay! You can rest assured! Li Xueqing's answer was unexpectedly very refreshing, "Even if I didn't interview you, I won't blame you, as long as you promise to accept my interview." ”
With Li Xueqing's words, Meng Xiaohao was relieved, at least he wouldn't feel so guilty.
"See you on All-Star Day, and have a perfect All-Star weekend!"
"You too!"
The conversation between the two sides ends......
"It's finally over!" Meng Xiaohao put it on his stomach, stretched his waist, and let himself relax, "I've been really busy lately!" It's an endorsement again, and it's an interview again! It's really hard! ”
Meng Xiaohao rolled over, "But it's All-Star Weekend soon!" I've got to be happier! It's the first All-Star Weekend, it's fun to think about! ”
Meng Xiaohao lay on the bed, closed his eyes and rested......
Time flies, February 16, 2021......
2021 New York All-Stars, Begin!
