"I just want to know that yellow-skinned rookie...... To be clear, I don't mean anything to discriminate against the yellow race, but I want to know what kind of qualifications that rookie from the Heat team made to the All-NBA team?! I know his stats are good for a rookie, but John. Wall & Carey. Is Owen's stats worse than his?! I also know that he helped the team reach the playoffs in his first season of career, but the question is whether Kyrie and Wall didn't contribute to the team's advancement to the playoffs?! I don't know how to express myself tactfully, but I think it's absolutely ridiculous for Addison to be on the All-Star team! ”

On the same day that the league announced its best team, former NBA player Jalen, who had already worked for ESPN. Rose openly bombarded Addison, who was selected to the third team, on the show, complaining that the Heat point guard was not eligible to be selected for this year's Rookie of the Year, and that the criteria for this selection were "funny and ridiculous." There are many people across the United States who share the same sentiment as the former professional player, especially those of Addison's black fans and Kyrie. Owen and John. Wall's supporters were so strong that the topic began to flood forums almost as soon as the lineup was announced, with fierce war of words arguing whether Addison was eligible to be named to the All-Star team.

Judging from the data, Addison's regular season data of 16.2 points, 3.5 rebounds, 10.1 assists, 2.1 steals and 0.2 blocks is not unworthy of the honor of the best team, not to mention that his statistics are even glamorous as a point guard. But his opponents are no worse than him. Irving had 21.7 points, 3.2 rebounds, 5.2 assists, 1.5 steals and 0.3 blocks, John Wall had 17.6 points, 4.6 rebounds, 10.0 assists, 1.7 steals and 0.6 blocks, and Damian Lillard had 21.0 points, 4.6 rebounds, 6.2 assists, 1.2 steals and 0.3 blocks...... All three are already well-known superstars in the league, but they didn't make the All-NBA team this season, and the three-team guard spot was instead occupied by a rookie who had just entered the league, which is obviously biased when the statistical lead is not obvious.

Many Addison supporters used him to lead the team to eliminate John in the playoffs. Wall's Wizards came to refute the doubts, but the doubters in turn eliminated the Heat with Irving's Cavaliers, and 'Addison never completely suppressed Damian in the regular season. Lillard's remarks were also a lot of noise, all aimed at pointing out that the Heat point guard was not eligible to be named to the All-Star team.

"I knew Eddie was in the All-Star team, I knew it from the first official announcement, so I have to congratulate him. But I don't feel like I even qualify for the All-Three team, and this season my team and I have done a league-wide show, and I dare say I'm no worse than anyone on the All-Star team. "Kerry, who is preparing for the second game of the Eastern Conference finals. Irving said in an interview that although he has a good personal relationship with Addison on weekdays, it does not mean that he will not be dissatisfied with his failure to make the best team. However, his grievances are more directed towards the media who participated in the All-NBA selection than at Addison, but in the eyes of those with tinted glasses, this is his declaration of war against the Heat's Chinese-American rookie. Plus John. Wall & Damian. Lillard's response to the interview was similar, so all kinds of news and forum headlines popped up, and even several people involved were a little shocked when they saw it.

However, the league officials did not respond to these doubts, and there is no shortage of such doubts about the All-NBA nomination in BA's history, and the league does not bother to respond to this so-called talk, not to mention that it can also attract greater attention to Addison, who is now very popular in the United States. Xiao Hua and other high-level officials were also happy to wait and see the situation.

Addison himself doesn't care about the doubts of the outside world, he thinks he deserves this kind of honor, and since the best team is selected by the national media, it proves that his strength and achievements have been recognized by most observers, otherwise why would he be a rookie on the list of the league's best three teams......

However, he never imagined that the first public figure in the league to stand up for him was not Bill. Wharton, nor Isaiah. Thomas, but with whom he has only played two games, Kobe Bryant. Bryant.

"Why didn't he make the All-Star team? Isn't this kid good enough? Or is it that he hasn't been able to do enough this season? I think people with a little common sense should know how important a role he plays for the Heat, and have seen what kind of results he led the team after Dwyane and Bosh retired from injury, and he deserves such an honor, absolutely deserved! ”

"You and Kobe. Is Bryant on good terms? Joe asked with some surprise when he saw the news.

"Uh...... Not really, but he said two words during the game......" Addison shrugged his shoulders noncommittally, and then looked at his father in surprise, "You actually know Kobe?" Didn't you say—"

"How many times have I said that I'm just not interested in basketball, not in contact with the outside world...... Is there anyone in the nation who doesn't know Kobe's fame? 'Michael. The closest player to God since Jordan', I'm afraid even the NFL superstars aren't as crazy as his popularity in the United States, let alone the world......" Joe rolled his eyes, he was used to the look of surprise that Addison put on when he heard him talk about basketball, and he thought the kid was doing it on purpose.

Addison didn't know why Kobe, who he didn't know well, would stand up for him, but he was grateful that the legendary superstar who had been influential throughout the era was on his side, even if he didn't care much about what the outside world thought of his honor. And after Kobe Bryant's incident, some Addison opponents complained on the forum that if the best team was changed from the media vote to the uniform group vote of all teams in the league, then Addison would not have a chance to enter the best team at all, but this kind of remarks just came to the fore by the authoritative pole basketball expert Hubi. Brown's objections.

"If the All-Team voting really becomes a selection for the uniforms, it's likely that Addison will be more likely to be selected...... You must know that the uniformed team does not think about popularity and influence like the media, and their focus is all on ability and efficiency on the field. Addison's offensive and defensive efficiency this season, even if I don't put the statistics out, no one will deny that his defensive efficiency value is only behind Chris. Paul and Patrick. Beverley, even better than John, who was selected to the All-Defensive Second Team. Wall is even taller...... The league-wide uniforms know that the Chinese rookie is a supernova with both performance and efficiency on the court, so why shouldn't they include Addison in the All-Match team? ”

"It's an absolute opportunity, and if your first signature sneaker is released now, it's going to be a huge sales boost with your current attention!" Sam. Bernie said excitedly and regretfully on the phone, "It's a pity that this opportunity was too short-lived!" The continuation of the playoffs is bound to quickly take away most of the attention that is now being thrown at you, so that doesn't make any sense......"

"I'm a very patient person, Sam, and I'm sure so are you, and so is NIKE, who is in a contractual relationship with us right now. And I don't want anything else to stop me from enjoying the game, it's one of the few times I don't have to worry about it as a participant, it's too precious for a professional footballer. Addison said without complaint, he is a person who is unwilling to be distracted and multitasking, and before the playoffs are over, he just wants to be able to watch the competition between these league giants seriously, and analyze how the core figures of these teams rule the league. In fact, this is also a kind of laziness, and I don't want to be distracted by other things while concentrating on one thing.

"I agree with that, Eddie, that leisure time is precious for a professional footballer, especially for a player like you who is paranoid about yourself. It's good to have this time, take a break, get a girlfriend, and enjoy your love life. The agent's tone teased that Addison hadn't had a girlfriend since college, which puzzled him. Most of the first-round rookies who entered the league at this age and were young and golden, would not lack the opposite sex around them, and Addison's situation is really rare, if it weren't for the fact that he does have a normal feeling for beautiful women that a man should have, Sam. Bernie might think that the young Chinese sexual orientation is off track......

"Love life...... Ha, it will come when it's supposed to come, and I'm still a little confident in that. Addison brushes the subject with a smile, and his Chinese-American identity has a somewhat conservative personality, sometimes avoiding things that he has not been deeply exposed to. Off the court, Addison wasn't a paranoid, on the contrary, he was gentle.

Sam. Bernie didn't say much about it, instead turning the conversation to another business: "Also, I think you should pay more attention to your own team's uniforms, they're busy right now." All the games in March Madness are over, and the newcomers to this year's NCAA draft are beginning to be pre-divided by the teams in the league. Riley's uniform team won't sit idle. ”

"The Heat? I remember Miami didn't have a draft pick this year...... "Addison raised his eyebrows, the Heat's 2015 first-round pick was sent to the Philadelphia 76ers in a trade, although this is a first-round pick 10 pick, but the Heat reached the Eastern Conference semifinals in the 2014-15 season before being eliminated, naturally it is impossible to get a lottery pick, and this first-round pick rightfully belongs to the 76ers. And their second-round pick this year was also sent to the Kings in last year's Addison trade, which means they don't have a draft pick this year.

"Who says you can't be part of this year's rookie market without draft picks? Don't forget that some of your players have turned into attractive trade chips through a season, and I don't believe Pat. Riley guy wasn't interested in that situation......"
