Chapter 177: Western Conference Finals

"Thank you for the compliment, you're such a likable boy." Ivanka used boy to describe Zhong Yu, Zhong Yu shrugged his shoulders and accepted, and then Ivanka said, "Then let's talk about work." ”

Zhong Yu nodded, didn't say much, in fact, Leon had already talked to him about the work content, and now he just hoped to be able to listen to her say it again.

Sure enough, what Ivanka said was similar to what Leon said, mainly to render a sense of family in the promotional photos. What Zhong Yu didn't expect was that in this shoot, he would partner with Ivanka.

As a very dazzling model, Ivanka has a beautiful appearance and a figure that makes men crazy, which inevitably makes Jongwook feel a little stressed. I've never done this myself, and I usually take pictures just as promotional photos for the team, and the requirements are not too high.

But this time it was clear that it was not the same as his previous photos.

"You might be able to try." When photographing a different position and different pose, Ivanka gently patted Zhong Yu's shoulder.

Then she straightened Zhong Yu's waist, which allowed Zhong Yu to feel her soft hands.

Ivanka is correcting some of Zhong Yu's small actions that are not quite in line with flat shooting, and the tone she uses is often a kind of negotiation, and there is no domineering attitude as a senior or boss.

"That's it!" After the last set of shots were taken, Zhong Yu felt a little tired, it seemed that it was not easy to do anything, Zhong Yu wiped the sweat on his head, and someone immediately brought something to drink.

It was a glass of watermelon juice, and what was handed to Ivanka was a carbonated drink, Zhong Yu noticed this small detail and felt that this woman was quite attentive, knowing that the players were not suitable for carbonated drinks.

While drinking, Ivanka suddenly said, "Zhongyu, to be honest, we found a bad time. If you were asked to advertise a month ago, the endorsement fee might not be that much. ”

Zhong Yu smiled, and reasoned: "Yes, it may be that he has been doing well recently." ”

"This can't be summed up in good terms, you're getting more and more famous." "It's very close to conquering all of New Orleans," Ivanka said. ”

Zhong Yu said: "I hope so, but I think it's only a matter of time before it becomes popular in the United States." He said it jokingly.

Ivanka looked at him with a smile: "Can you see that you are very confident?" But there are times when we have to talk about something that grabs the moment. Although he knew that Zhong Yu was joking, he felt that Zhong Yu had an indestructible self-confidence, and the pride that Ivanka herself had also had a little-for-tat.

At the same time, she was also a little curious about why this guy's confidence was so firm.

Zhong Yu shrugged his shoulders: "Time will tell." He doesn't want to say more, on these topics, if you talk too much, others may think that you are just bragging, but he himself knows that the name Zhong Yu will shine in the entire human basketball world in the future.

Then, he said, "The watermelon juice tastes good, thank you." ”

Ivanka smiled: "That's nature, I have prepared the best watermelon for you......"

After finishing today's work, Zhong Yu took a long breath, 200,000 US dollars were about to arrive, even if some taxes were deducted by the evil US imperialism, what went into his own hands would be enough to repay the debt owed to Paul.

As soon as he walked to the door, intending to drive away by himself, Ivanka suddenly called his name in the back.

Jongwook turned around a little strangely and asked her what was the matter with his eyes.

Ivanka shook the phone in her hand and suddenly said, "How about leaving a contact information?" I'm waiting for the day when you're really popular all over the United States. ”

"Okay." Zhong Yu exchanged a number with her, and then said, "The number you gave me can't be empty, right?" ”

Ivanka laughed, because of her extreme beauty and the huge wealth she could inherit, there were too many men who coveted her, so many people would ask her for a number, but it turned out to be an empty number.

That's what Zhong Yu said.

"Maybe you can give it a try," she said...... If not, I can have someone give you ten numbers for you to call one by one. ”

"It's corny." Zhong Yu smiled: "If it were me, I would write down all these numbers, and then post them in a conspicuous place and say that marijuana is provided, and then I think the police will tell me which number is correct." ”

Ivanka laughed and said, "It's really a jerk to do." ”

"Alright, goodbye, beautiful Miss Trump." Zhong Yu is about to get in the car: "Looking forward to the next meeting." ”

"Goodbye."

Zhong Yu in the car, there are many other feelings that cannot be described. Seriously, being popular all over the United States is indeed not a simple thing, especially for Chinese like him.

While his appearance and skills are enough to appeal to a large number of people, Jongwook's technical style is not the kind of rampage that Americans like, and many times he has to face a certain degree of congenital deficiency.

How hard is it to become truly famous? Kobe Bryant also stepped on the altar step by step after 81 points in a single game, so what about himself? When will it be earth-shattering?

Zhong Yu didn't know, but he was still young anyway, and there were still a lot of opportunities and time ahead of him to explore and discover.

The next day, the Lakers defeated the Jazz with a total score of 4-2 on the road, and the result of the Western Conference matchup came out.

The Hornets and Lakers will play the first battle of this year's Western Conference Finals on May 17, Yencing time, at the Staples Center, the Lakers' home court.

Such a showdown really made the forum hype.

In China, entertainment is still not before it has resumed, but in many basketball forums, there is still a lot of attention about the battle between the Lakers and the Hornets. All kinds of posts will be drowned in the sea of other posts as soon as they are sent.

What makes everyone discuss passionately, the first thing is naturally the rapid rise of the Hornets.

"A few years ago, the Hornets were struggling in the lotto zone, but this year they got to the point of the Western Conference Finals all of a sudden, and that progress is really amazing." Some netizens commented: "All this may be said to be the birth of a miracle. In short, the Hornets have a whole new look. ”

"It's amazing how the Hornets have grown, but it's all about two people, starting with Chris, who has grown into the league's No. 1 point guard. Paul, and then there is Jongwook, who has grown rapidly in the second half of this season. They make one of the strongest backcourt combinations in the league. ”

………… No one can deny Jongwook's merits, especially in a few games against the Hornets and Spurs, where he had a one-minute 13-minute performance and a few consecutive games with more than 30 points.

It's a testament to the help he brings to the Hornets.

On the other hand, the place where this game attracts the attention of Chinese fans is the matchup between Zhong Yu and Kobe.

"The showdown between Kobe and Zhong Yu admits that it is too early to talk about this. But that's the case with the Chinese media, they like to play ...... Rendering is true, but I hope it doesn't hurt Zhong Yu. In any case, he is just a player who has just entered the NBA before he is 22 years old. ”

Many fans said that Zhong Yu is still not qualified to talk directly with Kobe Bryant for the time being.

The situation is also the same, Zhong Yu is just a rookie who has just achieved some achievements, and there is still too much progress in many places compared to the current number one in the league, Kobe.

But the Chinese media is often able to ignore those things.

The fans are quite calm, even Zhong Yu's fans are relatively calm: "Zhong Yu's current strength may be quite good in offense, but compared to Kobe, he lacks a lot of experience, and he needs more effort and transformation to really become a player against Kobe...... I believe that one day he will be able to really fight Kobe, but it shouldn't be now. He doesn't have to prove anything to Kobe, after all, he's just a rookie right now. ”

………… In the discussion of domestic fans, many of them are more pertinent.

A lot of black in China, Yao Minghei, Yi Di Hei, in fact, is largely cultivated by the media, Zhong Yu's black still exists, but under the current big wave, they can only hide under the suffocating influence of Zhong Yu's fans, at most they can sneer a few times behind their backs, and they will be silent for a moment.

In the United States, the game also attracted a lot of attention.

After one minute and thirteen minutes, the current status of Zhong Yu in the United States is no longer the same.

Even though he is yellow-skinned, even if his style of play is light and elegant, this still appeals to a large number of American fans.

"The Hornets made it to the Western Conference semifinals, and it would have been absolutely impossible without Jong-wook. With his presence, the Hornets have the ability to blossom at five points, and they have at least three players who can support the team at critical moments. This season's Hornets are very strong......"

"It's an accident that the Hornets have played to this extent, but it's also inevitable...... Because with the backcourt combination of Zhong Yu and Paul, it is not unusual to come to this point. ”

"I've looked at Jongwook's stats these days and found that he has scored more than 30 points in many games, and he has scored 13 points a minute in one game...... Coupled with his appearance and Chinese identity, maybe this time the Hornets and Lakers will create a new god in the NBA league from Kobe's head......"

Many of the media in the United States also focused on Zhong Yu, a young Chinese man who suddenly rose like a star suddenly lit up in the night sky, shining, but full of a strange atmosphere.

His fame came suddenly, and now his influence is invading the entire American basketball world, which is a miracle, but it is also an inevitability that his strength can really affect everyone's eyes and vision.

And his real sweep of the United States still owes some fire, and the Lakers may be the source of this fire.

There are many people who are making bold predictions that if Jongwook maintains his perfect performance, he may be stepping on Kobe Bryant to become the new favorite in everyone's eyes
