Chapter 62 All-Star Voting Begins

The league recently released a message on its official website, low-key announcing the start of the 2009-2010 All-Star vote.

All-Star Voting Begins!

This news shocked the attention of the world, and many celebrities and experts in the basketball industry began to predict this year's NBA All-Stars.

This year's NBA All-Star Game will be held in Dallas, and as early as the beginning of the season, Cuban, the owner of the Dallas Mavericks, had predicted the stars selected for this year's All-Star.

The bohemian off-court boss predicted many possibilities, but he kept silent about Steve Nash of the Phoenix Suns, who avoided talking about it whenever a media reporter pointed the microphone at him.

Nash is a thorn in the heart of the Kuban, an old thing in the league that the old sesame seeds rot the grain. It stands to reason that no matter how deep the grudge and entanglement are, they should fade with the passage of time, don't you see that the grievances between Kobe and O'Neal have also dissipated.

Maybe the two may still collide in private, but the OK group has returned to the original scene of harmony at least in the public eye, and there is no longer a situation where they don't get along with each other.

Even when the Lakers lost, O'Neal saw a lot of media blatant fire at Kobe, and the righteous old shark would still put on his big brother posture to defend his former little brother Kobe.

But Cuban, the owner of the Mavericks, is a dead eye, and once he leaves a shadow in his heart, this stingy boss will recognize and hack you to death.

Nash is a perfect example. In '04, Cuban's refusal to offer Nash a contract caused the young Son of the Wind to leave Phoenix and begin his own path to Nirvana.

Nash was considered to have struggled to play well, but the Canadian still told everyone his stubbornness and refusal to admit defeat with a hard air.

A long history of not eating foods processed with sugar and flour, supplemented by hard and planned training, has made Nash a two-time MVP in Phoenix.

This sentence is not just talking, Rao is Nash's answer when asked this question, although his answer is light and light, but you can still feel his bitterness.

For the basketball dream, he gave up too much, and in order to ensure a healthy body to fight for his dream, he even gave up the lifestyle of a normal person!

However, such a hard-working Nash still did not make Cuban show remorse, and Cuban, the owner of the Mavericks, still believes that letting Nash go in the first place was not the biggest mistake.

And after this year's NBA All-Star voting was announced, Mavericks owner Cuban couldn't wait to express his opinion: "LeBron James? Yes, I think he has a good chance of competing for the All-Star ticket crown this year! He's young, but he's just as dominant! ”

When a reporter from New York pointed the microphone at Cuban and asked what he thought of Li Shihao, the Mavericks owner once again showed his wayward nature:

"Bruce Lee? Who's that? Does he qualify as an All-Star, relying on what he calls the Chinese market? In the position of defender, the Chinese cannot yet represent the views of fans all over the world! ”

When this remark was arrogant, it expressed Cuban's disdain for Li Shihao, and at the same time showed that he did not believe that Li Shihao could be praised in the All-Star Game like Yao Ming.

You know, in the NBA, there is no shortage of outside superstars, especially in the West, Chris Paul, Steve Nash, Kobe Bryant, Chauncey Billups...... Which one is the easy one?

They all have their own style of play and their own loyal fan following, especially Kobe Bryant, Steve Nash and Chris Paul, these three are the three most popular outside superstars in the Western Conference, and no one would think that Lee Se Ho can take the All-Star opportunity from these superstars!

As soon as Cuban's words came out, he regretted it, maybe this is another sentence similar to the one given to Nash back then, and he may become a laughing stock in the league again in the future.

However, the hooligan spirit in Kuban has also risen, he is from an ordinary background, and he can fight from an ordinary person to a billionaire today, and Cuban also has a certain amount of courage.

Even if Li Shihao's performance is good now, Cuban is still a dead duck with a hard mouth, and after letting go of his wild words, he walked away arrogantly, refusing to show the slightest regret.

This incident, which was supposed to end, became popular the next day, and a reporter from the New York Times published the interview in the newspaper of the same day, and Li Shihao became popular again.

This time he was accompanied by Kuban's wild words, even a little insulting.

After the news spread, Li Shihao received a call from far away in Phoenix, it was Nash calling, the Canadians are still very kind, seeing that their favored juniors were "bullied" by Cuban and suffered their original treatment, they called quite intimately to comfort him.

After some conversation, Nash hung up.

Immediately, Nash was interviewed by the local media in Phoenix, and the Canadian said quite righteously in the interview: "I'm optimistic about Bruce Lee in this year's rookie, that's right, it's that amazing Chinese kid, his ball skills are great, he is likely to enter the All-Star Game this year, this is a very likely thing, you have to believe in Bruce Lee's strength, he has this qualification!" ”

"At the same time, you have to trust the fans! They'll make their own choices to put a popular star on that stage! Nash said with a smile, his words light.

But the media reporters present all felt the dissatisfaction of the Canadians, and linked to the remarks of Mavericks owner Cuban, who apparently made the Phoenix leader dissatisfied again.

This farce did not end, the NBA league officially issued a clear fine to the owner of the Mavericks, Cuban, worth $1,000, like a slap in the face to Cuban.

The league gave an official response that the Mavericks' owner, Cuban, made some unwarranted overtones about the All-Star vote.

Such a bland response was undoubtedly like a boulder thrown into the pond water, which undoubtedly made the owner of the Mavericks, Cuban, angry, and his mansion was full of broken ashtrays in the past two days, which naturally made many people who were secretly waiting to see the Mavericks' jokes cry out for joy.

The manifesto was naturally written by David Stern, now the president of the Alliance, a shrewd Jew who could not easily undermine his long-standing marketing strategy in China.

Asia is a big cake, and China is the most delicious part of the cake, full of fresh and delicious fruits.

For this year's rookie Li Shihao, he naturally has a very concerned attitude, and to his surprise, the performance of this Chinese kid is comparable to the performance of last year's Bulls champion Derrick Rose.

It can be said that he has spotted a rising red star, and after Yao Ming was reimbursed last season, he can undoubtedly use Li Shihao to stabilize and expand the overseas Chinese market.
