Chapter 292: All-Star Vote
Zhong Yu's entire movement is extremely skillful.
Yao Ming didn't expect him to be able to complete this action so skillfully.
A little emotionally said: "From two thousand and seven years to now, it is indeed more than a year, you look at you, you really have a bit of a pure American Southerner appearance." ”
Zhong Yu waved his hand and said: "I just said casually, although I am a southerner, I am a southerner. ”
"When you look at your skill in eating crayfish, I really feel a little ...... How can I say it......"
Zhong Yu said: "This is also normal...... You have some local Houston customs now, don't you think? I just said so casually, don't think too far ahead...... Come, I'll teach you how to eat. ”
Zhong Yu finally taught Yao Ming, and then, Yao Ming suddenly said, "Do you like the city of New Orleans very much?" ”
Zhong Yu thought for a while: "I don't like it too much, but I do get used to this city." Accustomed to the English accent, accustomed to the people, accustomed to the Hornets' uniforms. ”
"That's what I'm trying to say." Yao Ming said: "Ah Yu...... It's not that I want to break you up and your Paul......"
"Stop!" Zhong Yu's head was as big as a bucket, and he said, "What me and my Paul...... How do you count that......"
Yao Ming smiled dryly: "Slip of the tongue...... It's you and the Hornets ......" At this point, he became serious. Zhong Yu stopped joking with him, because he felt that Yao Ming really wanted to say something to him. From two thousand and two years to the present, Yao Ming has spent nearly seven years in this alliance, and he is also a veteran, and what he says will definitely be of great help to himself.
"You should start thinking about these questions now, if you were the United Arab Emirates, I probably wouldn't talk to you so much, it's not that it's not that it's intimate, it's that your situation is different. Not to the United Arab Emirates, I will also say a damning word, the performance of the United Arab Emirates is indeed far from being as good as yours. Moreover, he is a round show and has not yet faced contract issues for the time being. But you, now this question is imminent for you. ”
Zhong Yu nodded, and his face gradually became serious.
Indeed, there are problems that he must face even if he doesn't want to face them much.
"You're on a 1+1 contract, which means you're going to be able to get out of the contract at the end of the season. When the time comes, it's up to you whether you leave or stay......"
What Yao Ming said is not entirely right, in his case, the alliance still has some regulations. At the end of this year's contract, Jong-wook will face a new choice, but it will most likely be the team's choice of him, not his choice of the team. There will be matching contracts and the like, and of course, his own will will also be the key to it......
"You're on the Hornets right now, and I think you're doing well......," Yao said, "so you need to think about these issues even more...... I think the Hornets will definitely be willing to come up with a big enough contract for you. It's just that whether their financial resources can support your contract, you must know that they already have a maximum salary in the team now, and there are several annual salaries of tens of millions...... There is definitely not much room for wages and salaries. ”
Zhong Yu nodded, still not speaking...... If he has a habit of smoking, he may have lit a cigarette by this time.
Yao Ming said: "So, have you thought about it yourself?" Is it to stay with the Hornets. Also, continue to fight with Paul......"
The last sentence is indeed very heartbreaking.
Zhong Yu knew that Yao Ming really cared about himself, otherwise ordinary people, who would talk to him about such a topic.
Yao Ming then stopped talking, he was waiting for Zhong Yu.
Zhong Yu shook his head with a wry smile, and then said, "How do you say it...... Brother Yao, I haven't thought about a lot of things now, and I think I should take one step at a time. I don't think about those things for a while, I just think that when the time comes, I'll think about it...... I guess by that time, I'll have other ideas of my own. ”
Yao Ming nodded: "Okay...... Originally, I didn't want to say much, but I said a lot today, so you can think about it yourself. Of course, it's absolutely possible that the Hornets will give up other players and use a big contract to keep you, have you ever thought about that situation? ”
Zhong Yu said: "It's just that if it really comes to that point, if it really gets to the point where I have to make a choice." Either I would choose to continue to stand with my brothers, or ...... I wouldn't be in New Orleans. Brother Yao, I'll also say something from my heart, New Orleans, it's too small...... It's really too small. Here, just talking about the population, 1.2 million, is not even comparable to an ordinary provincial capital city in our country. Maybe I'm still young, and I want to go to a bigger city. ”
Yao Ming nodded and said: "It's not wrong for you to think so, indeed, China, and even Asia, a player like you suddenly appeared, it is indeed something that many people never thought of, don't wronged yourself." ”
"Brother Yao, you praised me...... Zhong Yu said: "Actually, this kind of thing, there is no point in thinking about it, anyway, this season has just begun...... I'd better think about how I can help our team win the championship. ”
Yao Ming laughed: "You kid ......"
……
After bidding farewell to Yao Ming, a wry smile appeared on the corner of Zhong Yu's mouth.
Seriously, how could he not have thought about these questions? The people in this alliance have learned to think about a lot of things, and Zhong Yu's current situation really needs to think more.
In many ways, staying with the Hornets probably won't help him much, the city is really too small.
He just felt that the brothers and fans of this place made it a little difficult for him to let go......
However, after thinking about it a lot, he still felt that what he had just said was the biggest weapon to calm him down - it was far from happening. Zhong Yu still has a lot of time to think about these things, so let him go with the flow.
The arrival of January 2009 is always a little emotional, after all, two years later, many things have their own new meaning.
Zhong Yu won a big victory in the comeback game with the Rockets, and Zhong Yu's own score once again soared to more than 30 points, defending his dignity.
He also proved his quality.
After the game between the Hornets and the Rockets, one of the NBA's biggest annual events began......
That's where the NBA's All-Star voting begins. The league announced this year's All-Star shortlist for the East and West, and Jongwook's name was impressive.
In this year's all-star vote, there is actually a lot of suspense mixed in it.
First of all, there is the question of the west.
All-Star point guards in the West...... Whether Paul can blow up a few other players and serve as a starter, and Hornets fans are concerned about whether the likes of West can make it to the All-Star.
However, now almost all fans are focused on two of them - Kobe Bryant and Zhong Yu!
The real question everyone is now about whether Zhong Yu can beat Kobe Bryant of the Lakers and get the start of this Western Conference All-Star.
There is no doubt that Zhong Yu can definitely become a member of the Western All-Star team, and not only because he has a huge China behind him, and so many compatriots will vote for him. More importantly, because of Zhong Yu's current performance, many people have reminded him of Jordan the Great, who has left the league for many years...... Even, some people think that Zhong Yu will be better than Jordan.
Now Jongwook retains the position of the scoring champion, and his surname of the game is also watching...... And his huge fan base that now spans the world...... This has become Zhong Yu's strong backing.
So, there's no doubt that he'll be on the roster of players for the Western Conference All-Star Game. Now, though, the question arises - can he be the starting point guard in the Western Conference All-Star Game?
Can Jong-wook beat Kobe Bryant?
If it were on other players, it would be said that a sophomore beat Kobe Bryant at once and reached the top...... It sounds like a fantasy. However, Zhong Yu is completely different, it can be said that Zhong Yu's real popularity was on the Lakers last year, to be precise, on Kobe's head......
In those games, Zhong Yu and Kobe Bryant often scored more than 30 points crazily, and in those games, Zhong Yu was really known by people in the world.
And this season, Zhong Yu has become the league's new scoring champion and a guy who needs a lot of attention.
Zhong Yu has also cultivated a lot of his own fans in the whole world.
What's more, no one can ignore the huge China behind Zhong Yu...... It was a supernation of 1.3 billion people and close to 500 million fans.
In last year's All-Star vote, Zhong Yu was still unknown at that time, but Yi Jianlian began to emerge and almost defeated power forward Garnett in the All-Star vote in the East!
One can imagine how powerful the power of Chinese fans is.
Of course, Kobe Bryant also has a large number of fans in China, but, after all, only Zhong Yu is a Chinese with black hair and yellow skin.
Therefore, such a vote immediately attracted the attention of many fans.
Moreover, I don't know if it was an intentional arrangement by the league, in short, on the fourth day after the All-Star voting began, there was a game between the Hornets and the Lakers......
It's a coincidence that last season's Western Conference Finals, two rivals who fought seven games, are now going to meet again...... It is estimated that it will also be very red-eyed.
This season's Kobe Bryant, ranked on the MVP list, was squeezed out by Zhong Yu and Paul. And now, Jongwook may threaten his position again...... Kobe Bryant may not be feeling well in his heart either.
So, this game has rightfully attracted the attention of many people.
It is conceivable that the result of this game will affect the judgment of many fans and judge whether they should vote for Kobe Bryant or Zhong Yu.
――――――
As soon as the all-star voting began, Jongwook received a call from his agent.
"Hey, Jongwook...... I haven't slept yet. ”
"Haven't slept yet...... Can I help you? "Zhong Yu is also very familiar with his agent now.
"That's right, the All-Star voting starts today, and you have to think of a good way to get some popularity now...... I've got to tell you, if this time, you outnumber Kobe Bryant in the All-Star selection...... Then your future popularity will be unpredictable. ”
"Good idea? For example? ”
"For example, uploading videos on YouTube, asking for votes on Weibo, in short, there are many ways...... Now it's up to you how you choose. ”
"This ...... Don't do that. Zhong Yu himself was a little unaccustomed to it, originally he thought that at least last year, he never thought that he would be able to enter the All-Star. And now they are discussing whether they can make the All-Star starting lineup and beat Kobe Bryant......
This jump is very big, and Zhong Yu is already very satisfied with his identity, but when he reminds him like this, he thinks it is indeed the case...... If he can beat Kobe Bryant this time, it is conceivable that he may suddenly win the title of 'No. 1 quarterback in the West' or even 'the strongest quarterback in the league'.
Zhong Yu has never been a person who is indifferent to fame and fortune, and if he is indifferent to fame and fortune, he will not come to play in the NBA. If he can gain greater fame, Zhong Yu himself will not refuse.
"You have to prepare, this time, it's more obvious, you have to be ready to do a big job. Chris of the Raptors. Bosh, who has uploaded a video of himself dancing on youtube......"
Zhong Yu was about to squirt, and he thought it was very interesting to think of Bosh dancing......
"Well, I'll try to ...... I pulled down the ticket for myself on Weibo, and if I had time, I uploaded a video myself. ”
……
The plane stopped in Los Angeles.
The players walked down.
"Damn it...... This is the big city......" Chandler sighed in Zhongyu's ear, "You have to look at these buildings, and there are so many people." ”
Zhong Yu also sighed a little, Los Angeles is Los Angeles after all, and this kind of prosperity is indeed difficult to compare with other places.
"It's really good."
"What's the arrangement later? I guess you'll say go straight to the hotel......" Chandler glanced at Zhong Yu, saw his expression, and suddenly sighed: "You really want to go directly to the hotel, and you want me to say that you can walk around and find some beautiful girls." ”
Zhong Yu shook his head: "I don't go to the hotel, I still have a lot to do today...... I'm waiting for another commercial to be filmed, and it's been a bit long, and I think those people are a little upset. ”
Chandler said enviously: "That's awesome, I have to say, I envy you, you can't make enough money." ”
Zhong Yu waved his hand and said, "Don't mention it, my annual salary is only 700,000...... How can I compare with you. ”
Chandler put his arm around his shoulders and said, "In this world, if you are famous, you will be rich. Your income in a year will definitely exceed mine. ”
Chandler was not wrong about this, Zhong Yu is now also a six-million-dollar net worth.
With so much money, you can also squander it wantonly.
It's just that Zhong Yu doesn't like to spend money very much, and he doesn't have much place to spend money, so he filmed an advertisement, bought Scarlett something to eat by the way, and spent the evening at Scarlett's.
The next day, the game between the Hornets and the Lakers began.
The game attracted more than 20,000 spectators.
Among them, there are many fans of Zhong Yu, and there are also some neutrals, in short, today's game has attracted a lot of people, and many of them still like to watch the excitement.
