Chapter 24: [All-Star Rookie, Envy, Jealousy, Hate]
Sushi didn't go on a date with Scarlett Johansson, and the Pacers' bus was surrounded by media and left the arena with the help of security guards.
"It's crazy, I've only seen scenes like this at Madonna's concerts." Reggie Miller said.
Su Xi was also surprised, he had only heard that the All-Star Ticket King with more than 5 million votes was exaggerated. Now, Houston has given him a little bit of a popularity boost.
Scarlett Johansson and Hillary Duff were also surrounded by reporters.
They were surrounded by long guns and short guns, answered many questions, and were able to leave under the protection of security personnel.
On the way to Memphis, Suhi received a text message from Scarlett: At four o'clock in the morning, I saw the begonia flowers sleepless, and I always felt that at this time, you should be by my side.
It's poetic, it's lovesick.
Suhi felt that she should respond and not let people down. So, he replied, "Oh, got it." ”
At this time, Ron Artest next to him came up, and he couldn't help but ask Suhee: "Jack, can you tell me how to make a woman pursue herself so crazy?" ”
When Atai asked this, the people next to him were listening with pointed ears.
Although many basketball players are sanctimonious to say that Sushi puts too much energy into things that have nothing to do with basketball, who doesn't want to have Suxi's charm.
"I don't know." Su Xi spread his hands and said, "Maybe it's because I saved her." ”
"Ron, if you have a handsome face like Jack, you don't have to learn any tricks at all." Reggie Miller teased in the front row: "Do you think Jack really has any unique secrets?" The secret of uniqueness is that only ugly people will study it. ”
Miller's words amused the car with laughter.
None of us have slept yet.
Artelio was embarrassed.
This is the straight man of steel who was caught secretly wearing women's makeup.
"I... I asked for a friend. Do you think I need it? Reggie, as soon as I took off my pants, they rushed to get them on. "Atai forcibly saved his respect.
But Reggie Miller was too sharp-tongued, and he then quipped: "... As soon as the pants are taken off, and then a group of women wait for it to be hard? ”
Hahahaha.
The atmosphere in the carriage was very lively.
…
The next day, all the major media in the United States reported on Scarlett's victory, and the SS Party was boiling.
The overwhelming coverage made Suhi's popularity soar again. In terms of fame, he is even worthy of those popular stars.
Especially on the Internet, the competition between the SS Party and the SJ Party is extremely fierce.
Even under a normal news story, as soon as someone mentions Sushi, it will immediately trigger a 'war'.
The funniest thing is that Su Xi saw his name under a news story of a river thief.
"His modus operandi is very similar to Scarlett stealing Suhee the sheep's heart, he pretends to be weak at first, then takes advantage of the weakness, and then plays with his skills in public..."
Suhi couldn't hold back.
From this floor, the painting style below completely collapsed.
"Poor SJ Party turns black and white upside down. Jessica Alba is not as good as Scarlett in terms of appearance, figure, and temperament, and she can only talk about how she met Jack earlier. But the length of time they have known each other does not determine the depth of their relationship, Scarlett and Jack are the real men and women, the love of life and death. ”
"The SS Party only knows how to put gold on their faces, just like Scarlett has been upside down. Did Jack ever say he loved Scarlett? Scarlett kissed him twice, and he didn't stick out his tongue. The body doesn't lie. ”
"Did Jack save Jessica's life too?"
“……”
There was another quarrel.
Su Xi doesn't even dare to read social news now.
It can be seen how hot Suxi has been recently.
Although many people say that the popularity is like flowing water, it may drop in a few days.
However, five days later, Jessica Alba appeared in Philadelphia, wearing Suhi's No. 33 jersey and sitting on the sidelines to cheer on Suhi.
This once again ignited a media coverage boom.
What's even crazier is that Jessica Alba was photographed showing up at the hotel where the walkers were staying.
Although there is no photo of Suxi and her in the same frame, it is enough to arouse the infinite reverie of the SJ party, and they raise their eyebrows.
In fact, on this night, Jessica was almost wiped out by the lamb.
It's so cool.
This is the 'shock' from the soul level.
That's why Jessica is so desperate, since she was with Suhey, she has lost interest in other men all over the world, and no matter how handsome a man is, she won't give her a second look in front of her.
This is probably the additional magic that thunder and lightning bring to Sushi.
…
January passed quickly, and on January 30, the NBA All-Star voting closed, and Suhi received 5.69 million votes. Breaking Jordan's vote record set in 1997, Jordan got 2.45 million votes at the time!
Now, Suhey is twice as much as his.
While there have been many calls for an All-Star voting system, it should be decided by fans, journalists, and players at the same time.
However, the official alliance did not make any moves at all. David Stern's mouth is almost up to his ears with a smile these days.
In addition to being selected for the All-Star Game, Sushi was also voted to the rookie team. This is indisputable, Suhi has averaged 14.7 points, 9.1 assists, 4.1 rebounds, 3.5 steals and 1.2 blocks per game so far, coupled with the Pacers' current 45-9 record, Suhi, who is recognized as the Pacers' recognized outside core, can enter the rookie game in any year.
The Pacers are 26-4 after getting Susie, the best record in the league, and the first in team history.
Rick Carlisle has a new glory after leaving the Pistons, and he is considered to have a good chance of winning the head coach of the year. Now, he's the head coach of the All-Star East Force.
O'Neal Jr. was named All-Star starting power forward.
Five days after the voting deadline, Ron Artest was named to the alternate All-Star team.
At this point, the all-star list is complete.
The starting line-up of the East Force is: Suhi, Iverson, Carter, O'Neal Jr., Ben Wallace. Substitutes: Tracy Maddy, Jason Kidd, Byron Davis, Michael Reed, Paul Pearce, Ron Artest, Kenyon Martin.
The starting lineup of the Western team is: Francis, Kobe, Garnett, Duncan, Yao Ming. Subs: Ray Allen, Sam Kassel, Andrei Kirilenko, Dek Nowitzki, Pejastojakovic, Brad Miller, Shaq O'Neal.
There is a lot of talent, and the talent is bursting.
Every year after the final All-Star list is released, there are always many stars who jump out and complain: why I didn't get elected.
An All-Star is a very big honor, and there is a huge difference between having an All-Star and not having an All-Star on the resume, and many players have sharpened their heads to get into the All-Star.
All-stars not only represent recognition of ball skills, but also recognition of influence. At the same time, it can also allow players to get a lot of practical benefits, when the contract is renewed, the price can be raised, and when signing commercial sponsorship, it can also be raised by a notch.
Since Su Xi and Yao Ming, two Chinese players, occupied the two starting positions in the east and west, all the players pointed their guns directly at them, some yin and yang, and some directly fired.
Among these people, Suns forward Stoudemire is the most intense.
"All-Stars have deteriorated, and now it's not about strength at all to get into All-Stars. One relies on female stars, and the other relies on more Chinese. Why did they dominate the All-Star starters? If they still have some reverence for basketball, they should give me the spot. ”
"I'm the best rookie in the class of 2002 and I'm better than all of them this year, so why not let me go?"
"I'm going to prove it to the whole world in the rookie game."
Amarestad Meyer said with great certainty: "I will put all my energy into packing up Sushi the sheep." ”
Everyone else is yin and yang, and Stoudemire is directly tearing his face. He also said that he was going to teach Sushi a lesson in the rookie game, and the smell of gunpowder immediately emerged.
In this year's rookie game, the first-year roster is: Suhi, James, Anthony, Wade, Bosh, Hinrich, Carman, Josh Howard, and Haslem.
The second-year roster is: Boozer, Dunleavy, Ginobili, Jarich, Nene , Murray, Prince, Stoudemire, Yao Ming.
The same talent is abundant, and the talent is explosive.
Interestingly, Suhi is the only player on the first-year team to be an All-Star, and Yao Ming is the only player on the second-year team to be an All-Star, and both of them need to play two games during the All-Star Weekend.
After Suhi helped the Pacers beat the Bucks at home, she took the same flight to Los Angeles as Fraser Jones, Ron Artest, Reggie Miller, O'Neal Jr. and Rick Carlisle.
This season is the year in which the Pacers have been elected the most All-Star players in history, and it is also the year that Pacers fans believe are the closest to the championship dream.
So, on the way to Los Angeles, Reggie Miller kept saying to Suhey: "Jack, it's good to have fun with the All-Stars." Even if someone provokes you, you don't have to compete with them in the All-Star Arena. It's not good in case you get hurt. ”
Miller doesn't want to get out of the way.
For him, the good situation was not easy to come by, and he has been looking forward to it for many years to get to where he is today.
As the team goes from strength to strength and gets closer to the playoffs, Miller's desire for a championship has never been greater.
But what he didn't know was that Suhi was more hungry for a championship.
…
Suhi was given a cold reception in the locker room.
When he entered the locker room of the rookie game and went to change clothes for a promotional photoshoot, Howard, Bosh, Hinrich, Carman, Haslem, and James were all there, and none of them spoke to Suhey. As if Suhey didn't exist.
Su Xi also put away the smile on his face, walked to his place, and changed into clothes and sneakers.
After a while, Anthony walked in.
He's a social guy and he has a good relationship with everyone, including Hinrich.
After greeting James, he came to Suhi's side: "Hey, Jack! I never dreamed that you would become an All-Star before me. You're amazing, bro, I'm so proud of you. You are the pride of our entire class of '03. ”
Anthony said loudly.
But no one around responded.
Anthony glanced to the side, "Hey, LeBron." Let's go have fun tonight. ”
James was stunned and said, "No, Mero." I also have a sponsored event, you know, All-Star Weekend, and I'm very busy. ”
Just then, Mike O'Connor walked in.
With an expression of his eyes above the top, he looked around arrogantly, and then came to Su Xi's side: "Boss, you have to hurry up and finish taking this rookie promotional photo." We still have 8 commercials to shoot today, 3 press conferences, and 2 opening greeting videos from local LA-based businesses. Don't waste your time here, hundreds of thousands of dollars per minute. ”
O'Connor's voice wasn't too loud, but it echoed in the locker room and everyone could hear it.
Anthony saw James' cheeks bulge and heard teeth rattle.
"Hey, LeBron. I heard your signature shoes are coming out over All-Star Weekend, congratulations. Mike O'Connor turned to James and said that they were old acquaintances.
However, although O'Connor was congratulating others, his tone sounded like he was 'praising the juniors': Yes, you also scored 61 points, and with your level, a passing grade is very good.
This makes the Chosen One very uncomfortable.
He hated O'Connor for a long time, and this arrogant goatee offended himself not once or twice.
"Yes. I can give you a pair of signed shoes if you need them. "James is in control of his emotions and has a high level of emotional intelligence.
"It doesn't have to be." Mike O'Connor waved his hand and said, "I don't like to wear hard center shoes, and Jack's signature shoes are coming soon." It will come out before the playoffs. For Nike's signature shoes, we want to spend more time launching elaborate fist products. The playoffs are a good stage. You're going to have to do the playoffs this year. ”
Forehead....
James' chest was blocked. This is which pot is not opened, which pot is not opened, Lao Tzu is the tenth in the East, and it is also a playoffs, and it is a hairy season.
Suxi the Sheep, you deliberately let your agent come in and show off, deliberately let him stimulate me, sarcastically mock me, and ridicule me!!
James even hated Suhey.
Suhi knew that O'Connor was such a 'superior' person, and he did this to everyone, and he did the same in front of the president of Nike. It's really not against James. But Suhey waved his hand at O'Connor, motioning for him to stop.
Suhi said goodbye to Anthony, and he hurried to take a promotional photo.
When he and O'Connor left, the locker room immediately erupted with chatter.
"Who does this kid think he is, arrogant like a peacock. He was a caddie when we were making a name for ourselves in the NCAA. Dallas rookie forward Josh Howard said with a disgruntled face: "Isn't it just that Hollywood female stars earn some advertising endorsements, I really think I'm a superstar." ”
"Yes. I don't think he can go long. Bosh craned his neck, echoing.
"This kid is crazy and knocked Margety over when he hit the Clippers. He has made a lot of enemies in the league, and this All-Star Game, some will see. "Kaman also watched the excitement.
There is also Xinrich, although Xinrich does not speak, he is very unconvinced by Suxi.
He was once defeated by Sushi in the NCAA Finals, but he felt that Suhi didn't really have the ability, and that time it was his luck.
Now, Suhi is getting better and better in the NBA, and he feels that Sushi stole his luck and that's why he is performing so well. If I were in the Pacers, I could have played better than him. He now has so many endorsements, as well as the favor of beautiful stars, and was elected an All-Star starter.
All of this was supposed to be mine.
Hinrich thought resentfully.
"Melo, when you play, you have to pass me the ball more." James suddenly said: "You can't deliberately make a ball for Suhi the Sheep in the game just because he is a teammate, he is good enough." Compare all of us to the bottom. ”
James said this at this time, and the emotions in the locker room immediately became complicated.
yes, isn't Suhi beautiful enough?
He's already the only All-Star in the first grade, so do you want him to continue to shine?
Envy, jealousy, and hatred are intertwined, breeding, and spreading in this locker room.
Anthony said, "LeBron, you're my good friend, and Jack is also my good friend. Whoever has a good opportunity will pass it on. Also, I don't think Jack needs someone else to pass the ball now. On the inside of the second-year team, except for Yao Ming, no one has an advantage over him. ”
