In order to win the All-Star vote, Xie Chen did not hesitate to offend Carter, the great god, in order to become the All-Star vote king again and prove that he is still the most popular star in the league.

On the night before the news was announced, Hassan Wade and other good brothers talked to Xie Chen about drinking, they also talked about Porzingis, Xie Chen thanked Wade for his encouragement to Porzingis in the game, and asked Wade rhetorically that the Heat and Knicks are likely to become each other's fierce rivals in the playoffs and help grow Porzingis, is Wade not afraid of losing to him? Wade said something very meaningful, he said that if the Heat are not destined to reach the Finals for six consecutive years, he hopes that the last person to win is Xie Chen.

The next day, Hassan woke up a little drunk, and after washing up at Xie Chen's house, he found that Wade and Xie Chen hadn't woken up yet, and Hassan opened his mobile phone to browse it out when he was bored, and suddenly found that the NBA officially announced the results of the second round of All-Star voting.

Hassan was pleasantly surprised: "The results of the second round are out? I don't know if my ranking has improved, I really want to partner with Xie to become an All-Star, this kid bragged two bulls before, and now it goes without saying that the number of votes must surpass Curry! ”

Hassan found himself first, and the votes did increase compared to the previous results, and it seems that there is still a good chance to go to Toronto for the All-Star Game this year!

Looking at Xie Chen again, the ranking did not rise but fell! The first place is still Stephen Curry, and the gap between him and Xie Chen is getting bigger and bigger!

"Hell, how can this be?" Hassan wondered, this doesn't make sense at all, last year, Xie Chen bragged about his dunk ability. Everyone voted for Xie Chen because of curiosity, and finally assisted Xie Chen to surpass Stephen Curry, is it that everyone has stopped eating this set this year? But this doesn't make sense, because Xie Chen didn't brag last year, he fulfilled his promise, and everyone should continue to believe that he is.

"Hey. Thanks, wake up, come and see your All-Star voting results! Hassan rushed into Xie Chen's room, and since Xie Chen was partying with them last night, Katie was staying with Xie Chen's parents.

Xie Chen was woken up by Hassan, and vaguely heard Hassan mention the results of the All-Star vote, and then suddenly realized that today is the day when the results of the second round of voting are announced, Xie Chen squinted his eyes and said calmly: "What are you excited about." Didn't I just surpass Curry and become number one? Not last year, Hassan, you should get used to these things. ”

Xie Chen thought that Hassan was shouting excitedly because Xie Chen had a high number of votes, but he didn't expect Hassan to tell him: "You guessed wrong, brother, you can't even beat Jimmy Butler in the rankings now." ”

"What? Are you sure you're not kidding me? Xie Chen hurriedly took the phone, and sure enough, he saw that in the latest ranking, his ranking not only did not rise, but declined!

"How is this possible! There's no reason why the fans shouldn't vote for me because of the fight. And as far as I know, there should be a lot of people who voted for me. Xie Chen immediately sat up from the bed. Then he quickly called the agent, and he also learned the news as soon as possible, and he didn't believe it, and was communicating with the people at the headquarters if there was something wrong.

Hassan sighed: "Last year's All-Star, I wasn't qualified to participate with you, this year." But I can't go, but you can't go, that's a pity, sorry brother, I can't accompany you. I'm going to join the team and fly out of New York. ”

Xie Chen nodded and hugged Hassan goodbye.

After that, just when Xie Chen was worried and confused, Ci Shiping actually came.

Speaking of Ci Shiping, he is indeed a rare guest, although this guy was recruited by Xie Chen to New York, but since Ci Shiping joined the team, he often deliberately avoided Xie Chen, and this time he took the initiative to find Xie Chen, I don't know why.

"Why are you here?" Xie Chen asked curiously.

Ci Shiping looked angry as soon as he came in, took off the leather jacket on his body and threw it on the carpet, took out his mobile phone and slammed it on the sofa, Xie Chen was shocked, he was not curious about what Ci Shiping was angry about, but he was still a little surprised that he still knew how to protect his mobile phone.

"Thanks, can you bear it?" Ci Shiping asked angrily.

"What can I bear?" Xie Chen was still confused.

Ci Shiping pointed to his mobile phone and said, "All-star vote!" Didn't you watch it? Your ranking has fallen instead of rising, and now you are even inferior to Jimmy Butler, this is simply naked deception! I suspect that the NBA's official stats are falsifying, and this must have been done by the old man Adam Shaw, who is the best at doing this, isn't he? Last time we beat up in a group, oh, no, it was you who beat in a group, and you banned Lao Tzu! Although I apologized and compensated me in the end, did that work? If I can play that game, maybe we Knicks can get a win! ”

Xie Chen finally understood why Ci Shiping was so angry, why he was screaming and running to find him, it turned out that he still cared about being played by Adam Xiaohua before, this time the discerning people could see that Xie Chen's votes were abnormal, Ci Shiping wanted to join Xie Chen to find trouble with Adam Xiaohua.

Xie Chen patted Ci Shiping with a smile and said, "It's not easy to come here, sit down first, dissipate your anger, I'll make you a cup of tea, you are also 36 years old, and don't call Adam Xiaohua old man, he is not much older than you, and he looks younger than you." ”

Ci Shiping touched his rough skin and said angrily: "Nonsense, he is just whiter than me, he looks older than my grandfather." ”

Seeing Ci Shiping complaining so much about Adam Xiao Hua, Xie Chen was also helpless, speaking of which, the last time Adam Xiao Hua rectified Ci Shiping, it should have been done for Xie Chen.

Xie Chen poured Ci Shiping a cup of tea and sat down, and asked: "You guessed right, I talked to my agent, and he also said that my votes may not be accurate, it can't be so long, and the number of votes has only increased so much, but we as players can't interfere with this kind of thing, what are you going to do when you come to me?" ”

Ci Shiping hurriedly said: "What else can I do?" Go directly to the headquarters to find him and reason with him! ”

Xie Chen nodded: "It's really simple and straightforward, go!" ”

Seeing Xie Chen get up on the spot, even Ci Shiping was startled, he didn't expect Xie Chen to agree so quickly! Ci Shiping didn't say anything, and waited for Xie Chen to change his clothes. The two went straight to the NBA headquarters and waited for about twenty minutes before waiting for him to appear in Adam Shaw's office.

Adam Xiaohua walked over gracefully, still shyly and kindly when he smiled: "I'm sorry, you two, suddenly there is something to deal with." So it's late. ”

When Ci Shiping saw Xiao Hua walk in, he immediately rushed forward as if he was going to fight, but Adam Xiao Hua was not David Stern, Xiao Hua was very tall, Ci Shiping couldn't cause any oppression to the other party in terms of momentum, coupled with the disparity between the identities of the two, Xiao Hua didn't even look at Ci Shiping.

Ci Shiping leaned to Xiao Hua and said, "Mr. President, don't blame us for messing around, but the number of votes for Xie is too strange." You also know that he has attracted a lot of attention by relying on the hype on the Internet, how can the ranking be lowered? Is this a mistake in your calculations? ”

Adam Xiaohua has not stopped since he entered the office, and he did not sit down until he walked to the seat, put his hands on the desk, and said seriously: "Are you also here to talk to me about the number of thanks?" I was going to talk to Xie about this, could you please stay outside for a while? ”

Ci Shiping was suddenly stunned, why did he put himself aside? Ci Shiping came here with selfish intentions, but he was unwilling to leave like this. hurriedly brought up the old thing: "Last time, you banned me for one game for no reason, which directly led to the Knicks' current losing streak. Now the whole team has no fighting spirit, and you have to be responsible for it! You're going to give me an explanation! ”

Adam Xiaohua guessed that Ci Shiping would mention this matter, and said helplessly: "I don't know what Mr. Ci Shiping wants to explain?" "For the ban, they officially apologized and lost money, what else could they want? Ci Shiping thought for a moment. said: "If the next time I am banned for something like this, you have to deal with it lightly, at least reduce the standard of two bans, how about it?" ”

"Deal!" Adam Xiaohua only thought about it a little, and agreed to Ci Shiping's request on the spot!

"Oh. This guy is making a lot of money. Xie Chen also smiled.

"Hahaha." Ci Shiping hurriedly laughed, stepped forward to shake Adam Xiaohua's hand, and said, "Thank you, Mr. President." I'm sure you'll have a pleasant conversation with Xie, so I won't bother. ”

Tzu Shiping walked out of the room full of joy.

After Ci Shiping left, Adam Xiaohua looked at Xie Chen with a smile, and did not mention the All-Star voting results first, but talked to Xie Chen about himself: "Xie, do you know? I grew up in New York, I've been a Knicks fan since I was a kid, and I love this team even more than you, and when I knew you were coming to play in New York, I was so excited, it's been a long time since this team has had such a talented player! I thought everything was going to go the way I expected, but I didn't expect it to happen, and I really want to say that you were in Orlando and I was so embarrassed. ”

Xie Chen didn't speak, as a president, from the perspective of interests, Adam Xiaohua did not like Xie Chen's behavior, but from Xie Chen's point of view, Xie Chen did not do anything wrong.

Adam Shaw continued: "It's good that you didn't hurt that fan, which is a lucky point, so you can rest assured that you won't be banned all the time." ”

Xie Chen finally spoke: "I know that you have not announced the number of games I have been banned for my consideration, but I really want to know, the results of this all-star vote, am I really not popular?" Are the fans disgusted with my tricks? ”

Adam Xiaohua suddenly laughed: "Wow, it's really rare, the first person in the alliance is starting to doubt his popularity." Let me tell you the truth, in the second round of voting, your votes are not after Jimmy Butler, but before Stephen Curry. ”

Xie Chen was shocked on the spot: "What? You say I'm the voter in the second round of voting? Am I number one? ”

Adam Xiaohua smiled and nodded: "You're still so popular, aren't you?" The fans still eat what you brag about, don't they? However, before announcing this result, I thought about it, is it the only way to publish it directly? If you naturally become the ticket king and be selected as an All-Star, there will still be fans who say how to let a person who plays fans participate in the All-Star, or as the ticket king? So I want to deliberately lower your ranking, so that fans worry that you will not be able to participate in the All-Star Game because of the impact of the fight, people all over the world want to see you participate in the All-Star Game, the dunk duel with LeBron James, the rhetoric of surpassing Vince Carter to become the strongest dunk player in history, and the challenge of beating Curry without Curry's posture, everything is too attractive to them, so in order for you to be an All-Star, they will do everything to support you, and at that time, they will really forget what you have done in the past. ”

Speaking of which, Adam Xiaohua is also well-intentioned, Xie Chen finally understood what was going on after hearing this, so he asked, "Then when will you restore my normal votes?" ”

Adam Xiaohua stood up and shook his head: "It's not that simple, you need to do what I say." ”

Depend on! I knew that Adam Xiao Hua did this to threaten Xie Chen about something! Cunning old man!

"Okay, what do you say?" Xie Chen said helplessly.

Adam Xiaohua said: "First, do some activities to give back to the fans, I'm afraid you have to go to Orlando to do it once, we will arrange everything, and you may need to donate some money." ”

Xie Chen didn't have any objection to this matter, and he had already guessed that Xiao Hua would ask him to do this, so he nodded: "What else?" ”

Adam Xiaohua didn't say it directly, but asked: "By the way, I heard that you have been training in Los Angeles since you were banned?" Will you go to Los Angeles after that? ”

Xie Chen nodded solemnly, not understanding what Adam Xiaohua was asking for, and replied: "I want to train quietly by myself, so I chose to be in Los Angeles, what's wrong?" ”

Adam Xiaohua smiled: "Good choice, I suddenly thought that T.NT TV was there, and then it happened that the host of opencourt was a little uncomfortable for the past two days, I have already arranged with you, you used to be the host of the substitute shift for a period of time, and your wife has also been the host of ESPN, I believe she will also support you." ”

"What? Going to TNT as a host? Bragging with O'Neal, Kenny Smith, Barkley, Thomas? Xie Chen stood up excitedly, never expecting that Adam Xiaohua would arrange this job for him.

Adam Xiaohua patted Xie Chen on the shoulder and said: "Let people all over the country and even the world feel your humor, kindness, fun, and optimism through TV, this is the best way to save your reputation, come on, I am optimistic about you!" ”

Adam Xiao Hua left after speaking, but Xie Chen really doubted that going there to listen to them brag B Xie Chen could calmly maintain humor, kindness, humor and TMD optimism! (To be continued......)
