I am so Accurate

During the press conference, it was the reporters in the audience who bombed.

By the time the press conference was over, the entire basketball circle was in turmoil.

"I'm sorry, I don't think there is any problem with Sun being the All-Star ticket king!"

"This time I fully support Sun as the ticket king, and no one can speak well!"

"If Sun is not the vote king this year, I will be in a hurry with him!"

...

In the American forums, the fans' attitude has changed by 180°.

Jordan did not mention a single word to canvass for Sun Hao at the press conference, but what he said was more effective than a hundred or even a thousand sentences.

Because Jordan is the youth of almost all fans!

It was Sun Hao who gave them the opportunity to relive their youth!

Stern was dumbfounded when he saw the news at night.

He couldn't tell whether Jordan was telling the truth, or he was just trying to confront him, or he was trying to win over Sun Hao.

Because every possibility exists.

It may not even be just one, but several possibilities mixed together.

But no matter what the reason is, what Jordan said at the press conference has completely changed the current direction of public opinion.

Although it made him uncomfortable, it had already helped him solve the predicament in front of him.

At least this year he won't have such troubles anymore, and it will be next year.

Thinking of this, he called Jordan back and said some words of thanks to him.

A man can bend and stretch, otherwise he would not have been able to knock on the door of the Chinese market.

Sun Hao was a little confused when he saw the news.

Although Jordan is just telling the truth, but doing this kind of thing at this time point, it is difficult for him not to have a good impression of Jordan.

Not to mention anything else, when his contract with Adi expires, he will have to struggle for a while.

The time came to mid-January, and the results of the All-Star voting were hotly released.

Eastern Conference starters: Iverson, Jordan, Carter, Antoine Walker, Yao Ming.

Carter won the Eastern Conference vote for the third consecutive year with 1.5 million votes.

Yao Ming's final vote count was fixed at 1.1 million votes, and he also successfully became the All-Star starter in his rookie season.

And he also has a reason to be selected. In addition to the background of Chinese players, he has averaged 14.5 points, 10.1 rebounds and 1.9 blocks per game so far this season, which is also among the best centers in the Eastern Conference.

Jordan got 1.05 million votes, and as he said, he became an All-Star starter as soon as he came back.

And he averaged 23.5 points, 5.1 rebounds and 5.5 assists per game. Although his shooting percentage is lower than his career average, his selection is not just about feelings.

Not to mention that under the leadership of him and Yao Ming, the Wizards are currently ranked fourth in the Eastern Conference and have great hopes of reaching the playoffs.

Western starters: Sun Hao, Kobe, Nowitzki, Garnett, O'Neal.

Nowitzki finally got 900,000 votes, beating Garnett by 50,000 votes and ranking first in the Western Conference forward list.

Bryant and O'Neal received 1.23 million and 1.27 million votes, respectively.

The two add up to exactly 2.5 million votes.

Then, Sun Hao's final vote count was... 2.51 million votes!

No more, no less, exactly 10,000 more votes than the OK combination combined.

Moreover, his voting result also broke Jordan's previous record of 2.45 million votes!

This result was expected, and even many fans are ready to complain.

But because of Jordan's press conference, there was a burst of cheers on the forum.

Basketball is a matter of sophistication, and it was fully demonstrated in this incident.

Of course, nothing can please everyone.

After the results of this vote came out, Popovich expressed his dissatisfaction in his own way.

"You're telling me Tim Duncan isn't the All-Star starter in the Western Conference?"

Popovich expressed his dissatisfaction in front of the media with an extremely ironic discourse.

"In the future, many fans will ask why Tim Duncan didn't appear in the All-Star starting lineup at the peak of his career. I told him because he didn't have a Chinese teammate?"

This is Popovich's way, and Iverson's is another way.

After the end of the game against the Wizards, Iverson innocently missed the post-match press conference.

This incident was also considered by the league to be an act of protest against the voting results, because Mutombo of the 76ers was not elected as the All-Star starting center.

On the second day, he received a $10,000 fine from the league.

In a follow-up interview the next day, Iverson said he had been misunderstood.

When asked if he needed the league to understand him, he shook his head again and said no.

"I won't beg others to understand. My mother understands me best. Maybe I will die before her. If that's the case, I will let her engrave the word 'misunderstanding' on my tombstone."

What Iverson said was touching.

On the second day after the voting results came out, in the game between the Magic and the Wizards, Jordan was absent due to injury, and then McGrady scored 50 points and 10 rebounds to lead the team to victory.

No one knows if he's outraged that he didn't make the All-Star starter.

What the fans can see is that Jordan watched McGrady's performance from the bench, and his eyes were full of love.

A week after the results of the All-Star voting came out, the bench lineup selected by the league's head coaches, as well as the list of other individual competitions, were also released.

Eastern Substitutes: Francis, Kidd, Pierce, Ray Allen, McGrady, O'Neal, Mutombo;

West: Payton, Szczerbiak, Peja, Karl Malone, Chris Webber, Duncan, Brand;

There were discussions when the starting lineup came out, and it was inevitable when the substitute list came out.

Pistons head star Stackhouse broke out strong dissatisfaction.

"We're No. 3 in the East and none of us make it? Just because we're a Detroit team? That's a piece of shit!"

Stackhouse's complaints are not without reason.

This season, he sacrificed shooting rights for the team and gained more victories, but he still didn't get the approval of the league, uh, the coaches.

No one will be unconvinced by this.

But in fact, similar things have happened in the NBA in the past, and will continue to happen in the future.

In the 15-16 season, the Heat led by Dragic and Whiteside ranked fourth in the Eastern Conference before the All-Star Game, and no one was selected.

Of course, these are the little episodes that play out every year before the All-Star ticket game.

Popovich's protest will not have any effect, and Iverson's fine by the league has become an established fact. Stackhouse... Unless a player is injured, he will also lose his chance to be selected as an All-Star.

Controversy, legacy, this is the eternal topic of the NBA All-Star Weekend.

The league invited Sun Hao to participate in the three-point shooting contest and the slam dunk contest, but he declined them all.

He is not Curry, and he is not that interested in this kind of game.

Of course, the more important thing is that his current three-point level is crushed all the way to the three-point contest.

He will not participate again until there is no strong enough opponent.

As for the dunk contest, forget it, let's talk about the next topic.

The next topic is related to Nash.

With Francis being traded to the Bulls, there is actually a bit of a vacuum for the guards in the West.

Stockton is getting old, Payton is 31 years old, and then there are Marbury and Bibby.

But the record of the Suns is too poor, Bibby's data is not impressive in the Kings, Nash theoretically has a good chance of being selected.

But in the end he was not selected.

This has something to do with the Mavericks already having two players selected, and it has something to do with Nash's poor defense.

But in any case, as brothers, after Nash lost the election, both Sun Hao and Nowitzki need to do something.

They are well aware of Nash's character.

At this time, the role of Sun Hao, the traverser, came into play.

He remembered that both O'Neal and Carter missed the All-Star Game due to injuries this year.

Don't ask him why he knows, Jordan came back this year in history, and no one will miss such an All-Star Game.

In other words, there will be one more spot in the West.

There are enough inside players in the substitute list, and there are too few point guards.

Nash has a great chance.

Of course, the premise is that Nash can perform well enough before the opportunity comes.

Speaking of which, they have done this kind of thing twice before, so it can be said that they are very familiar with it.

They have done it for Sun Hao and Nowitzki before.

So this time, they got started very quickly.

And speaking of it, it was the two of them who had the greatest influence on Nash.

Give up part of the shot and try to hit Nash's pass as much as possible. The method is simple and effective.

And they did.

When the time came to February, the Mavericks continued to perform steadily, and Nash's data increased.

A very intuitive statistic, before the release of the All-Star list, Nash's average data was around 14+8.

But half a month after the roster came out, his average per game was 17+10!

At this time, the Lakers announced that O'Neal will miss this year's All-Star Game due to a recurrence of his left foot injury.

The league didn't need to think much about it, and let Duncan replace O'Neal as the starting center.

Looking back at Popovich's acid words now, it will make people feel very unnecessary.

Duncan entered the starting lineup, and in theory, another big man will come in, but there are too many big men in the Western Conference.

On the contrary, defenders are rare in comparison.

The final favorite is between Marbury, Nash and Mike Bibby.

After fully considering the record and data, Stern finally made a choice.

Steve Nash will be an alternate All-Star in the West.

The Mavericks' record before the All-Star Game ranked first in the league, and they also successfully had 3 players selected for the All-Star Game!

After this news came out, the whole of Dallas was boiling.

This kind of scene is really unprecedented in history.

"This is the most glorious era of the Mavericks!"

Some fans even expressed such emotion in the forum.

The All-Star vote champion, three people were selected, the record is the first in the league, and the old Nelson became the head coach of the Western Conference. Everything is beautiful!

Against this background, Sun Hao is also looking forward to the All-Star Game.

Because he won the best rookie last year, he has always had a halo bonus this season, which is also an important reason for his huge performance improvement.

If he can win the MVP in the All-Star Game, then it is foreseeable that he will get a bigger bonus.

Originally, this matter was just a thought, but it is not impossible for two teammates and his own head coach.

Everything is ready, just waiting for the All-Star Game to come.

But before that, Sun Hao also took care of a matter that had been delayed again and again.

He finally went to Cecilia's house.

Regarding Cecilia's family, Sun Hao actually thought a lot about it.

Ceciari seems to need money, and it can be inferred that his family conditions are average.

Even Sun Hao thought that she might be from a single-parent family, which is very common in the United States.

There are not only rich people in the United States, but also poor people, and the gap between rich and poor is also very large.

But even with this expectation in mind, Sun Hao was still surprised when he actually arrived at Cecilia's house.

The family conditions of Cecilia's adoptive parents are not bad.

However, Cecilia was adopted!

And she was adopted by a group of black couples.

It's unbelievable in Dallas.

Sun Hao has lived in Dallas for so long, he knows how big the discrimination in this city is.

It is not an exaggeration to say that the hatred that has lasted for more than 400 years between black and white in the United States is in a state of being wiped out at any time here.

But Cecilia really subverted his cognition a bit.

Sometimes, though, skin color doesn't really determine anything.

In Cecilia's house, Sun Hao could clearly feel that the black couple were kind people.

In fact, it is true, it is not kind, it is impossible to adopt a person of a different skin color in this city.

When Cecilia went out to prepare dinner, Sun Hao had a private chat with her adoptive parents.

He was actually curious about why they adopted Cecilia.

You must know that if there is a white person among the blacks, it will be a huge psychological burden for both blacks and whites.

"We didn't think too much about it. Who saw a child who was discarded in a plastic bag with an umbilical cord on her body, and who could bear to watch her die?"

Sun Hao was moved by what his adoptive mother said.

In fact, let alone the United States, there are such news all over the world.

Many men and women don't know what a child means, and they have no ability to raise it when they are born, so they can only discard it in the end.

He still remembers a well-known news in China that an old woman adopted a black child and finally raised him to be an authentic Chinese.

After chatting with them, Sun Hao suddenly paid more attention to and understood the topic of "children".

He has traveled through time, is famous and rich, but these things should not be just for enjoyment.

In ancient China, it was emphasized that if you are poor, you will be good for yourself, and if you are rich, you will benefit the world.

He belongs to Da now, and he can go to something more meaningful.

Of course, his personal ability is limited, and it is impossible to do everything.

But the child, he can help.

Because children represent the future and hope, there are children like Cecilia, and even some children in war-torn countries.

This idea appeared in Sun Hao's mind.

For a moment, he felt as if he had found another meaning of life.

After dinner, Sun Hao and Cecilia returned to the villa.

Sun Hao talked about giving Cecilia a raise and finding a chef by the way.

"Thanks."

Cecilia agreed and thanked Sun Hao.

For the first time, Sun Hao didn't look down at Cecilia.

"By the way, I'm actually curious why you are working so hard to make money. Your family conditions are not bad."

Sun Hao then asked.
