Popovich was unreservedly supportive, and even he took advantage of his professional credibility.

As the best among the head coaches, as a TOP-level coach, he is willing to stand up for Xiao Shi and prove that Xiao Sa's remarks are not wrong.

Naturally, the questioning and abuse subsided.

After all, some self-righteous basketball commentators are still afraid to make a mistake for a decorated coach like Popovich. And rookie newcomers like Xiao Dash, who have no foundation and are fledgling, of course, they are very arrogant and sanctimonious.

And for these attacks and slander or arrogance, Xiao Shi never paid attention to them, he was very busy.

In addition to the All-Star thing, he's also taking a closer look at the Knicks' personnel changes. He made it clear to management that he wanted to trade a strong interior lineman, and that interior line was better defensive.

Although the matchup with the Cavaliers was finally won, it does not mean that the Knicks have firmly entered the ranks of the strong teams. It can even be said that the Knicks are still a bad team.

Although the outside world has mixed reviews, some people praise themselves to the sky, calling them the most exciting and exciting scoring guard since Kobe Bryant, and others say that Xiao Shi is just a number of brushes.

But only Xiao Sa himself knows his true strength, he knows better than anyone that his strength is impossible to make the New York Knicks a strong team immediately, this is Yan Zòng's unrealistic conjecture, Xiao Sa is not a dreamer. So he knew he had to do something else. to make the Knicks more competitive.

Shaw asked Knicks executives to seek a trade. And the All-Star Weekend has arrived as scheduled, and Xiao set off for Phoenix to participate in this All-Star Game.

This time, Xiao was selected to the rookie team and the All-Star Game, and in fact he was the only rookie to make it to the All-Star Game. Although many people are saying that he entered with super popularity, no one dares to stand up with a pat on his chest and say that Xiao Sa is a parallel All-Star, because Xiao Sa has created enough wonderful pictures in the past half season, in fact. So far, he holds the league's record for the highest scoring record this season.

Such a guy, maybe you can accuse him of this or that, but you can't ignore his existence. His existence zài is the topic, the topic generates public opinion, and public opinion influences the masses. The All-Star Game was meant to be a show, and unless David Stern and the NBA executives were collectively kicked in their brains, they couldn't find any reason to keep Xiao out of the show.

When Xiao arrived in Phoenix, he was immediately gathered by a large number of reporters.

Because of his recent remarks, reporters began to associate him with LeBron James. Even, some media regard Xiao Shi as the rookie who is arrogant and ignorant to provoke Emperor LeBron James.

Obviously. For the vast majority of people, Chick and LeBron James are not at all in the same class, although Chiao has won the previous encounters, and the number and record have been successful. However, this did not get him enough attention, or that LeBron James's status was too detached. The occasional setback doesn't affect his place in history, and the fledgling rookie is obviously no match for LeBron James at the moment.

And the reason why those reporters will put Xiao and LeBron James together, undoubtedly they want to be disgusted. They clearly want to use LeBron James and suppress the dashing edge, and among these media, ESPN is undoubtedly the craziest media advocating this comparison.

Since Xiao Shi's debut, ESPN has never bargained for Xiao Shi, but has done a lot of publicity for Xiao Shi. In this regard, ESPN is not only aggrieved, but also very aggrieved. And now that Xiao is on the bar with LeBron James, it has undoubtedly created a great strategic opportunity for them, after all, no matter how bad luck this guy is, it is impossible to defeat a genius like LeBron James, this guy is a superstar who can dominate the whole league, how can a fledgling rookie pull his authority?

As a result, under the advocacy of this kind of public opinion, Xiao Sa gradually evolved into a toad who sat in a well and watched the sky without knowing the sky, trying to subvert the authority of the little emperor.

This kind of public opinion is burning more and more fiercely, and Xiao Shi is also aware of it.

So, when asked by reporters if he was trying to make an enemy of LeBron James. With a smile on his face, he said very calmly: "LeBron James is the benchmark that every rookie tries to surpass, and I certainly won't be that exception."

The chic words are very calm.

The journalists rejoiced, but for them, it was clearly not enough. So, someone else asked provocatively, "So, do you think you can defeat him now?" ”

"I don't know what the rules of defeat you're talking about." Xiao replied very honestly.

His honest answer gave reporters a lot of room for imagination and play, so another reporter hurriedly asked: "So, you mean that you think you can beat LeBron James under some kind of rules, right?" ”

"Of course!!" Xiao nodded with great certainty, then added, "Do you think LeBron James' three-point shot will be more accurate than mine?" Do you think LeBron James will be more adequate at the free-throw line than I am? ”

The dashing addition apparently did not attract the attention of the journalists, who only remembered it for granted.

This is enough for them, enough to light a fire for the public opinion that is now becoming more and more enthusiastic.

But this was completely unexpected, because it was not him who mastered the speech, although he was the one who posted it.

The media is sometimes a double-edged sword.

Next, the reporters asked a little more about being on the Knicks and what he thought of being selected as an All-Star.

In this regard, chic talk and laughter are lively. Officially, he said that he was very happy with the Knicks, and he was honored to be an All-Star.

After the visit, Xiao went to the hotel arranged by the league, where he will spend the whole weekend, of course, this weekend will be very busy, after all, it is not just two games, there are many public welfare activities.

For his first All-Star trip, Xiao Sao didn't have much excitement, nor much excitement, he seemed exceptionally calm.

But in fact, public opinion outside has begun to gather into a storm.
