"Roy, did you find a name?" Abby swiped through the checklist on her phone and kept asking Roy.

"No, there's no list of Eastern backcourt players, where are you? Abby. Roy was also anxiously searching for his name on his phone, his expression obviously unnatural at the moment.

"There doesn't seem to be a list of frontcourt players in the East, probably because we are dazzled, or we will change it, you come to find the frontcourt players, and I will find the backcourt players."

"Okay."

Roy and Abby are now no longer excited when they first got the All-Star shortlist, and this is the second time they have searched for the All-Star shortlist, but neither the Eastern Conference frontcourt players nor the Eastern Conference backcourt players have seen Roy's name.

HOW CAN YOU NOT FIND SUCH A SIMPLE TWO WORDS AS "LUO YI"? An agitated mood is spreading in the air.

"Could it be that some careless staff member put you on the Western Conference All-Star shortlist? It's probably almost Christmas, and these brainless editors are relaxing. Why don't we look for it in the Western Conference All-Star shortlist? ”

"I don't need to look at it, Abby, I've already looked at the Western All-Star shortlist just now, and it really doesn't have my name, and besides, this list is arranged by the alphabet of the last name, and it is generally not mistaken."

"No, no, maybe it's just an official mistake, how can you not be on the All-Star list, even the names of those water cooler keepers who play an average of 1 or 2 minutes per game, it is impossible not to have you. Rest assured, Roy, let's watch it again. ”

Abby is right, in fact, since the 2015 All-Star Game, the NBA has changed the All-Star shortlist, which used to only recommend four players per team (120, 60 in the East and West, and 30 in the front court and 30 in the backcourt) to a large list of candidates for all players in the league to vote on. In other words, as long as you have a guaranteed contract with an NBA team, you have a chance to be selected as a starter for the All-Star Game, even if you're just a water cooler keeper.

Abby's comfort didn't soothe Roy's slowly agitated emotions in the slightest.

Roy put down her phone and pondered expressionlessly, Abby also gave up checking the list, and she looked at Roy blankly.

Quiet, quiet room, the air seemed to be frozen, and the calm at this time was in stark contrast to the laughter and play of the two before.

The clock ticked by, and after a moment of silence, Abby's phone rang suddenly, one, two, three...... It's Abby's text messages, and there are constant text messages coming in.

Abby wanted to ignore it, but the news really came flooding in.

Helpless, Abby could only pick up her phone.

"Abby, have you seen that All-Star shortlist? Roy actually failed to be selected for the All-Star shortlist? Is this true or false? Is the alliance mistaken? I'm going to call the coalition headquarters tomorrow, what about you? ”

"Abby, big news, big news, Roy's name didn't appear on the All-Star shortlist, his name is 'LUO YI', right? God, if Roy really didn't have Roy on this All-Star shortlist, the Internet would definitely explode tomorrow. ”

"Abby, I don't know if you've seen that all-star shortlist? It's a shame that I'd love to vote for your idol Roy, but his name doesn't seem to be on the list at all. ”

Is this true? Did Roy really fall off the All-Star shortlist? No, it's not so much a defeat as a punishment, a punishment for Roy alone.

With the confirmation of these journalist friends, Abby felt that she might not have to check the All-Star shortlist again.

A bad thought immediately arose in Abby's mind, Roy will definitely become a news figure in the next few days, those gossip media will definitely not let him go, those who hack him will definitely not let him go, will Roy be crushed by such public opinion pressure?

What does it mean that Roy is not on the All-Star shortlist? It means that Roy, the popular new king of New York, will be embarrassed to miss this year's All-Star Game, which means that those who are black Roy can be ashamed to criticize Roy for not even being as good as a water cooler keeper, which means that Roy may have to bear huge public opinion pressure from all sides, which means that Roy's arrogant self-esteem may be dealt a fatal blow.

Roy will be drowned in saliva, it's certainly a given. As the year-end debriefing performance of the NBA's super sports show, the All-Star Game is every star's dream honor. Competing for popularity, showing talent, giving full play to personal charm, and reflecting commercial value, it can be said that the All-Star Game is the biggest stage for many NBA stars to compete for their own prices. And now, Roy, who is bound to win, is not even qualified to compete for a ticket to this stage, what is going on? How do you have to explain this? How can this be relieved? You know, even the Knicks' water cooler keeper Mindaggs Kuzminskas is on this All-Star shortlist, and there's no reason why Roy would not be selected.

"No, I'm going to have to write a column right away to lash out at the NBA, there's no reason why they shouldn't let you go to the All-Star Game, that's blatant racism." Looking at the comfort of his peers and the pale-faced Roy, Abby's anger suddenly rose.

"It's okay, Abby, don't get excited, isn't it an All-Star Game, if you don't go, you won't go, since someone doesn't want me to go, then I'll accompany you in New York." Roy fought back his anger and squeezed out a smile.

"No, Roy, you can't just leave it at that, this is the United States, if you feel that you have been treated unfairly, then you have to fight back, otherwise those guys will do this to you in the future."

"You're right, Abby, of course I'm going to fight back, but I'm not going to complain to those guys in the media, it's just going to show that I'm calculating, I have my plan, trust me." After Roy finished speaking, he suddenly stood up, "Abby, can you give me a little time?" I may not be able to spend Christmas with you for the past two days. I'm sorry, I'll let Mr. Su Dong bring you the gift, don't worry, I'll be back in two days after I disappear. ”

Roy spoke resolutely, and before Abby could react, he walked over, kissed Abby lightly on the forehead, and left without looking back.

Disappeared for two days? What does that mean? Looking at Roy in the distance, another thought flashed through Abby's mind, the NBA is about to have big news......

Although there is still a day before the All-Star fan voting opens (the media got the list a day earlier), the news of Roy's failure to be selected as an NBA All-Star candidate has already been spread on the Internet.

The document on the 2017 NBA All-Star shortlist is now circulating all over the world, and it seems that Roy can't play the All-Star Game is ironclad.

The NBA's most popular "fried chicken" and the NBA's most commercially valuable superstar didn't even enter the all-star shortlist? The sensational effect that such a buzzing news can cause can be imagined.

"Is Adam Shaw joking? Isn't this so-called shortlist all the players in the NBA? And just like that, Roy will also lose the election? Are you sure it wasn't some careless typist who missed Roy's name? Or what idiot can't even spell Roy's name? ”

"I can't imagine how fans would react if Roy really didn't make the All-Star shortlist. That's definitely the biggest shady scene in the 70-year history of the NBA, who did I say Roy offended? Someone has always wanted to target him like this. ”

"What the hell is this old guy doing with Adam Shaw? If Roy hadn't been selected as an All-Star, I'd definitely take the lead in boycotting the All-Star Game. ”

Needless to say, the attitude of Roy's supporters was extremely resolute, and the radical fans and the media immediately set off a wave of public opinion on the Internet, poor Xiao Hua and the NBA official website, their Twitter, Facebook and homepage were attacked by angry Roy fans in just one day, and all kinds of doubts and abuses filled the online world.

But Xiao Hua is not an idiot, he certainly can't remove Roy, who he values most, from the All-Star stage for no reason, and he has the bitterness of having to exclude Roy from the All-Star shortlist.

When the bell struck 0:00 the next day and Christmas Eve on December 24 officially arrived, the NBA's official website also announced the shortlist for the 2017 All-Star Game on time. They originally wanted to give this All-Star shortlist to the fans as a Christmas present, but it was greeted with a wave of condemnation.

After the official list was released, anxious fans checked it again, and the result was exactly the same as the previously leaked list. That's right, everyone is there, the big stars are in the list, the bench players are in the list, the rookies are in it, the old people are in it, and the water cooler keeper is also in it, but only Roy is missing, Roy, who is in the top 10 scoring list this season, and Roy, the most popular superstar in the league.

As soon as the result of this coffin was announced, the fans exploded for the second time, and if many of them were convinced that the widely circulated All-Star shortlist was a fake list, then now they are really desperate.

Major fan forums and social media quickly forwarded the news of Roy's failure to be selected for the All-Star shortlist, and the originally happy Christmas Eve was also shrouded in a haze.

The NBA league is certainly not stupid, and an hour after the All-Star shortlist was announced, the press officer of the league's office immediately posted a note on the NBA's official website, a note about Roy's failure to be selected as an All-Star candidate.

The content of this note is very simple, but it is very detailed.

First of all, the NBA officially recognized Roy's strength and popularity, and they regretted that Roy could not be included in the All-Star shortlist. Secondly, because Roy was drafted in violation of the age modification this year, he is theoretically not eligible to participate in the All-Star Game, and the league also excluded Roy from the All-Star shortlist out of consideration for fair treatment of other players. Finally, out of recognition of Roy's rookie status, the NBA will still invite Roy to participate in this year's Rookie Challenge, hoping that Roy can participate as scheduled.

Obviously, Xiao Hua made the decision that Roy was not selected for the All-Star shortlist after full consideration. He must have expected this to happen today, but he really has no choice but to let Roy vote for this year's NBA All-Star Game, then with his super popularity, it must be a safe thing to be selected as a starter. And once Roy enters the NBA All-Star Game stage as a starter, those veteran NBA stars, owners of major NBA teams, including those fans who don't like Roy, will definitely question Roy's eligibility to participate in the All-Star Game again, and that kind of chaotic situation is what Xiao Hua does not want to see.

In order to prevent trouble, for the credibility of the league, and to calm the mood of those veteran stars, Xiao Hua had to make the decision of this strong man to break his wrist, a decision that disappointed Roy and his fans.

Was Roy disappointed? Of course, he was disappointed, even angry.

When he learned from Abby that he was not selected for the All-Star list, Roy made up his mind to launch a counterattack against those bad intentions, and his best way to fight back was undoubtedly to set off another bloody storm in the NBA. So on this Christmas Eve, he chose to practice alone in the training gym.

At this time, Roy was the only one left in the basketball hall, the team gave everyone a holiday, and the last person to see Roy was Derrick Rose, who accompanied Roy until 2 p.m. and left alone to have fun with Noah.

Roy originally wanted to ask Roy to open the "Infinite Training Ground" again, but unfortunately, maybe he was worried that Roy would delay his time to have fun, or maybe Roy was really reluctant, and his answer to Roy was no. Ross explained that the "Infinite Training Ground" could only be used once a month, and the price of using the "Infinite Training Ground" was also expensive, and he couldn't help it now.

To have one’s hands tied? That's fine, anyway, Roy has already made up his mind, even if he can't get anyone's help, he has to rely on his own strength to become strong, he wants to show everyone his ability and determination, he wants to show those so-called All-Stars his ability and determination, this is the power of anger......
