Basketball: Serious injury at the start!Turn on hell mode

New York, USA, nba headquarters building, president's office.

"What's the matter? Duke's vote is understandable, what's the matter with Yi Jianlian's vote?"

Stern had already guessed the brow, but still wanted to confirm it, and asked Xiao Hua.

Xiao Hua also complained endlessly, so he could only smile wryly and say:

"The ballots are all from China. Chinese fans are so crazy that so many ballots can be sent across the Pacific Ocean. (At this time, votes are all on paper)"

Stern was also shocked, but then ecstasy.

Years of hard work finally paid off, and all his painstaking efforts were not in vain.

With a market of 14 billion people, it is exciting to think about it.

Xiao Hua next to him knew how to observe words and expressions, and immediately asked:

"How about letting the All-Stars play a Chinese derby?"

Stern thought for a long time before slowly shaking his head.

"Although the market of 14 billion people is huge, don't forget that our roots are still in North America!"

"If Yi Jianlian is the team's second-in-command, if his statistics are better, then it doesn't matter if he is selected."

"However, if he is selected based on his performance, then there will be more people who doubt us, but our influence in North America will be hit."

"Besides, Yao Ming has already been selected in the West, so there is no need to worry about the Chinese fans. Besides, our vote champion has Chinese blood!"

Speaking of Duke, Stern couldn't help laughing.

This little guy gave him too many surprises, and he even planned to make the opponent the face of the alliance, on the premise that there would be no more fights.

Xiao Hua also understood what Stern meant, and got up to leave.

On December 12, the Knicks' training arena.

"Hey, isn't this the third-ranked Arab League in the East?"

As soon as Duke entered the door, he saw Ah Lian warming up and training, and couldn't help but tease him.

"But pull it down, I'd rather not be selected, let's see what the media has made of me."

Ah Lian had a bitter look on his face, no matter how hard he could stop the enthusiasm of the fans, he was helpless.

Duke smiled and patted Ah Lian on the shoulder.

"Come on, Sao Nian, if you have my strength, no one will dare to blame you."

"Besides, you chew on the Green Arrow, take it easy, play...for three to five minutes, the pressure will be gone."

Duke almost uttered the famous quote used to tease Emperor Yi.

Fortunately, Ah Lian didn't care, and still practiced hard with his head covered.

Indeed, in the past two days, he was really blackened as an African native.

Take mainstream media for example.

Sports Illustrated: "The disgrace of the league, the 13+9 forward beat Bosh and Pierce, can you believe it?"

"I don't know what's going on with this vote. I only know that the credibility of the league has been challenged. A person who doesn't know who the team is, is able to overwhelm the core of the other two teams?"

“这个世界实在太疯狂了，我实在想不出20+5+3的皮尔斯和22+10的波什会排在一个13+9的球员后面！”

USA Today: "If Yi Jianlian is selected this time, this year's All-Star may create the lowest ratings in history!"

"I'm not surprised that Duke is the top voter. His contribution and strength are there, but Yi Jianlian's third place among forwards makes me unacceptable. Could it be a mysterious force from the East."

"But I can guarantee that if the league allows Yi Jianlian to be selected into the All-Star, then I believe that countless fans will choose to refuse to watch this All-Star."

Of course, the UAE is not without allies, and the Knicks' own newspaper is on his side.

New York Times: "Please know that the All-Star voting is based on popularity, not statistics!"

"Those who criticize Yi Jianlian, please first understand the definition of an All-Star. Yi Jianlian can be ranked third in the Eastern Conference forwards, which shows that his popularity is much higher than that of Bosh and Pierce. There is nothing strange about this."

"He is the idol of our New Yorkers, and even the idol of 14 billion fans on the other side of the Pacific Ocean. It is a matter of course for him to be an All-Star."

In addition to these mainstream media, the fans are even more noisy.

The UAE's social media was even forced to turn off the comment function.

Feb. 12, Madison Square Garden.

Knicks vs Timberwolves.

At this time, the Timberwolves are a group of huskies without the leader of the wolf king.

The entire team does not have a star who can be named, and the biggest player is only one Al Jackson.

In recent years, the team has also been dominated by poor performance.

"Let's welcome our number 9, Yi~~~~~~jian~~~~~~~lian~~~~~~~"

Huge cheers erupted instantly on the field, even more enthusiastic than Duke who was the first to appear on the stage.

Obviously Knicks fans are supporters of the UAE in this way.

Ah Lian was also very moved, waving all the way to the field.

This also made the Timberwolves players on the opposite side very envious. The attendance rate of their fans at home was barely over half, let alone how much enthusiasm they had. It would be nice if there were no boos.

"Ah Lian, you are quite proud, are you going to turn against customers?"

Duke looked at Ah Lian with a smile on his face and complained a lot.

"Calm down, just this once."

Allen smiled.

Yu Jia, the commentator of the Central Sports Channel, was also very moved:

"It seems that the Knicks fans still stop supporting the UAE. This is completely opposite to when they were in the Bucks. The UAE feels the treatment in Guangdong here. Good Knicks fans!"

Zhang Lili on the side almost rolled his eyes, not only secretly sighed in his heart:

"Yu Jia, Yu Jia, you are still too young, you watch too little football, and you have a little misunderstanding of the New York fans. Only when the UAE plays well can you get this kind of treatment. If you don't play well, the New York fans may boo you harder than anyone else. "

Yep, it's New York.

.................................................. .........

There was not much suspense in the game. Encouraged by the enthusiasm of the fans, the Knicks launched a strong offensive ability as soon as they came up.

The UAE was encouraged, and its desire to attack was greatly enhanced. Duke, who was holding the ball, also consciously passed him a few more balls.

The first quarter begins.

At 11:52, Duke made a mid-range jumper after breaking through.

At 11:18, after Duke and Alian picked and rolled, they made a wonderful pass to the opponent for a layup.

At 10:41, Duke and Ah Lian connected again, and the other side dunked successfully.

.................................................. .....

In the end, the Knicks defeated the Timberwolves by 127-102 with 25 points, adding fuel to the opponent's poor road.

Duke clocked in three quarters and easily scored 24 points, 4 rebounds and 11 assists.

The UAE also scored a double-double of 26 points and 12 rebounds under Duke's feed.
