NBA Backer King: Chapter 221 All-Star starter

   Chapter 221 All-Star Starter

   "Damn, how could this be?"

  Dameng is very annoyed, he is the strongest super center, just counting the votes?

   "Could it be Barkley's fault? He must have divided my votes." He kept muttering in his heart.

  Spurs, David Robinson is in a worse mood than Big Dream.

   Two-time All-Star starter. With this momentum this year, he has no chance to even come off the bench. Where can he make sense?

  On the 23rd, Wang Tiejun got his 1000th career rebound and received a system reward of 300 points.

After the third week of    All-Star voting, the situation is still the same. Jordan's votes surpassed 800,000, and Wang Tiejun's votes also reached 610,000, ranking first in the West.

   But by this time, his vote growth rate has begun to decline, Arizona's voting potential is almost the same, and if it can't be maintained in the last week, his final vote is likely to be overtaken by Barkley.

  Barkley is now 600,000. He is a superstar with popularity and influence in the United States. Although he is not as influential as Jordan, he still has some votes.

   And Barkley is also participating in some influential shows, which have won him a lot of votes.

   But no matter what, he should still be able to get the starting position of the western center.

   "The tragic soft egg dream, the strongest super center, has been suppressed by Robinson for two years. This time it is my turn to suppress you." Seeing that the number of votes for Da Meng was only 330,000, he couldn't help but complain.

   After this week's voting ended, it was the end of January, and the Suns' record had been stable at third in the Western Conference, and his MVP ranking had been stable at fourth.

  On January 28th, his career score reached 2000 points, and he received a system reward of 300 points.

   Now that he has accumulated 1200 points in his hand, he immediately redeemed four training cards, namely balance, bounce, flexibility, and rebounding.

   In addition to the ongoing speed and coordination training, there are a total of six system trainings, which are a little more, but there are not many items that consume physical energy.

   The three trainings of rebounding, speed, and jumping will consume some physical strength. This can be done during team training.

   The other three exercises can be performed at home or in a hotel room, with little physical energy consumption and will not affect his physical reserves.

   The longest of several newly exchanged trainings is three months, and the shortest is only one month.

   For example, flexibility, the current level is 75/77, and the 30-day training has increased by two levels, reaching the ceiling.

  Balance, the current level is 76/87, for a period of three months, it will be increased by 6 levels.

  Bounce, the current level is 70/74, the bullet height is 68/73, and the bullet speed is 72/75. For a period of three months, the bullet height is increased by 2 levels, and the bullet speed is increased by 3 levels.

   Rebounding, it was also three months, and now he is level 90. He can improve by 2 levels at that time, but the speed of improvement is slow. It is estimated that if he wants to improve in the future, the speed will be slower, which should be related to his athletic quality.

   He also noticed that this time the training card is more open to the number of time off from training. As long as the number of consecutive days of interruption of training does not exceed three days, you can ask for an unlimited number of leave. But there is also an additional limit. Every time you ask for leave, the training period will be delayed by two days.

   On this afternoon at the end of the month, his Oprah talk show also aired. The ratings were good, surpassing thirteen million, and the impact just continued with the fourth week of All-Star voting.

   "Old K, you really bought a street in your country's capital? And it's downtown?" During dinner, Kevin Johnson called.

   "Hey, yes." He thanked Brother Fei in his heart, and he said proudly.

   "Tsk tsk, how much does that cost?" Kevin Johnson asked, smacking his lips.

   "Well, tens of millions of dollars, it will take years to complete the plan. What, Kevin, you want to invest too?" he said.

   "Of course, give me an introduction. Old K, if you make money, I will share with you." Kevin Johnson laughed.

"It's not busy, you can think about it first and talk about it after calm down. Our spending power there is not very good now, the average monthly company in the capital is only more than 300 yuan, oh, it is less than 100 US dollars, it may be paid back. It's been a while..." he said quickly.

   "What, less than a hundred dollars a month? Then I won't be able to earn back my annual property tax. Forget it."

  Kevin Johnson immediately backed off. Isn't that throwing money into the water? Poor old K, this is going to be a loss.

   He quit, and Old Wang breathed a sigh of relief.

  I am all worried now. I don’t know if I have built the street in my hand, and I will lose my life in the future. How dare I bring Kevin Johnson and the others in?

   Then, he received a lot of calls from people, and finally Barkley called.

   "Old K, I have money in my hand. Let me introduce. I also want to buy a street in the capital of your country."

   Lao Wang is speechless, you dare not I dare, if you lose, can't you chase me with a knife and cut it?

   He also fooled Barkley by fooling Kevin Johnson, and Barkley immediately backed off.

  The time entered February, the 6th, and the last week of voting ended. He actually won 340,000 votes in the last week, bringing the final number of votes to 950,000.

   Before him, Jordan broke one million again, even reaching 1.1 million, 150,000 higher than him.

   After Pippen's 920,000, Jordan also made some efforts and pulled some votes, but Pippen himself is also a superstar, which is a manifestation of his popularity.

   Then there is Barkley's 850,000 votes, only 100,000 votes less than him, and the same 250,000 votes in the last week.

  The fifth place was O'Neal with 820,000.

   In this way, he and O'Neal got the center starting position of the 1994 All-Star East and West.

  Phoenix, Colangelo is talking to Stern.

  After the results of the votes come out, it is time to get the final results.

He is actually not sure about Stern's attitude towards Old K. Although the president hopes to develop the market there, and it is effective, CCTV purchased some copyrights this year, but the Suns won Jordan's championship last year, destroying the The three consecutive championships of the Bulls have also destroyed Stern's plan to create a god. Maybe the president is very annoyed with the old K.

   And last time Old K got Karl Malone to be reimbursed for the season. The reimbursement of a superstar still has an impact on the league, which may also affect Mr. Stern's perception of Old K.

  The two exchanged a few words after they got on the phone.

How shrewd   Stern is, he received this call just after the voting ended. He knew very well that Colangelo must have made this call for old K.

   For Old K to become the Western All-Star vote king, his attitude is normal. Although the Suns blocked the Bulls and destroyed his God-building plan, it does not mean that he has to target the Suns and their core players.

   CCTV started purchasing regular season copyrights this year, which is a very good start. At this time, how could he target Lao K for the past? He is not crazy.

   If you want to target it, it was done in the finals last year. With the tyrannical style of old K, it is okay to call him a few more offensive fouls per game.

   And old K is a CAA person. Although CAA is a Hollywood brokerage company and has no control over the NBA, but such an influential behemoth can not be offended, of course not.

   "Jerry, congratulations to you, and congratulations to old K, I really hope Phoenix's football market will grow further, that city has that potential." He smiled.

   Colangelo was overjoyed when he heard it. Old K's All-Star starter is no problem.

   In this All-Star, in addition to the starter of the old K, Kevin Johnson also got the bench position, and the Suns got two All-Star positions.

   After getting the news from Colangelo, Pharaoh and Hoxman were very happy.

  Hawksman opened the first drawer on the left, took out the first sponsorship contract, and was ready to start a new business negotiation.

   This is a global sponsorship endorsement contract from Mercedes-Benz. It is the company's latest off-road vehicle, which is very suitable for the violent style of old K.

   This evening, the Suns played against the Bulls who came to challenge.

Although Wang Tiejun really wanted to win, his strength was really insufficient. The Bulls adopted the tactics of opening the inside line, breaking through the outside line in turn, and blasting his team into slag. Jordan broke out again and hit 50+, and the Suns once again defeated the Bulls. The men ushered in a big defeat, and they were blown up by the Bulls at home and away.

   The next day, on February 7, the Suns arrived in Los Angeles to challenge the Lakers away.

   On this day, the league announced the 1994 All-Star starters and substitutes.

  Eastern starters: Shaquille O'Neal, Derrick Coleman, Pippen, Jordan, BJ Armstrong

   Eastern Substitutes: Ewing, Mark Price, Dominic Wilkins, John Starks, Charles Oakley, Mookie Brelock, Horace Grant.

  Western starters: Wang Tiejun, Barkley, Sean Kemp, Clyde Drexler, Mitch Richmond.

   Western Substitutes: Olajuwon, John Stockton, Latrell Prewell, Danny Manning, Gary Payton, Kevin Johnson, Chris Mullin.

   After checking into the hotel and getting the news of the All-Stars, Pharaoh was excited and called Barkley on the phone, "Charles, don't you congratulate me?"

   "Brother, the big dream is complaining that I have diluted his votes, I'm annoying." Barkley said a little depressingly.

   "Haha, then tell him, come over and hug my thigh next year, and I'll find some big stars to canvass for him." He laughed.

   "Shit, old K, don't be arrogant, who doesn't necessarily have more playing time on the All-Star team." The roar of the big dream sounded immediately over there.

   "Come in, Fatty, this thing is with you?" he scolded.

"Ha ha…"

  Barkley laughed. After laughing, he said helplessly: "Old K, I have been injured again in the past two days. This time the All-Star game can't be played. I just asked the league for leave."

"What?"

   Old Wang was startled, hurt again? Are you afraid that you will retire next year?

   "Who fills your position?" he asked casually.

"Looking at the arrangement of the league, it is not ruled out that Hakim will fill in. He is the biggest player in the bench. If he fills in, then David Robinson may fill his position. But this is just my guess, it doesn't count." Barkley said .

   "If it was me, I'd rather not have it. I don't have that face, Big Dream, are you picking up trash?" Old Wang said.

   "Old K, what do you mean? Ah, what do you mean? Asshole, don't let me see you, kid, don't let me see you..."

   The big dream of exploding temper broke out, and this sentence almost made him angry.

"Ha ha…"

   Old Wang and Buckley on the other end of the phone laughed at the same time.

   hung up the phone, he opened the system and took a look. The 1000 points rewarded have been credited, and now there are 1400 points.

  …

   That night, Pharaoh and Roberts had a tryst at the private hotel, and thanked her for canvassing for her.

  On the 8th day, with weak legs, he led the team to lose to the Lakers, and rushed back to Phoenix overnight. In the back-to-back game on the 9th, he led the team to lose to the visiting bad team Timberwolves again.

   Before the All-Star break, the Suns had their first three-game losing streak this season, 32 wins and 14 losses, and they were still third in the Western Conference, with the Spurs under their ass.

   On the morning of the 10th, Wang Tiejun got up very early and made a phone call to return home.

  Today is the Spring Festival, which happens to be the evening of New Year's Eve in China. The family is having a New Year's Eve dinner. I am very happy to receive his call.

   "Tie Jun, your eldest and second sisters are back, too. There are dumplings made at home. Alas, you can't eat them. You and Changfeng brothers remember to make some dumplings. You still have to spend the new year outside."

   "Mom, don't worry, I invited Brother Zhang and the others to celebrate the New Year together, and they will come over soon," he said.

   "Older..."

   After chatting with my parents for a while, Da Ya Er Ya answered the phone.

   "Big sister and second sister, how is college life? Have you made a boyfriend?"

   "No, of course you have to study at university, but we are three years late. If we don't hurry up, we will fall behind even more." Da Ya said.

   "Old man, in addition to the subject of information and communication, I also took business administration as an elective, and I will help you manage Fengshen Street in the future, hehe!" Erya shouted.

   "That's good. Big sister, what did you choose?" He asked with a smile.

   "Eldest sister took two electives, mathematics and applied mathematics, as well as physics." Erya smiled.

  Pharaoh said he didn't understand. Didn't he learn mathematics and physics in junior high school, and he had to learn it again when he went to university? Has the eldest sister been fooled? I have to go to Tsinghua University next time I return to China. Don't be deceived.

   "Old man, I want to ask you something." Erya said at this time.

   "Second sister, tell me!" he said hurriedly.

"There are teachers in a few courses, they always say in class, how good are those western countries in the United States, we should learn from them in a comprehensive way, such as free medical care, happy education, salary of several thousand dollars a month, old man , you have been in the United States for so long, are those countries really that good?" Erya said hesitantly.

   He was startled, why did you teach this in college?

   He quickly said: "Second sister, there are only a few developed Western countries, but not all of them are developed countries. Some countries with the same system as theirs are even poorer than ours, poor and chaotic.

  For example, you mentioned free medical care. During my two years in the United States, most people have no savings, even a few hundred dollars..."

   "Huh? Can't come up with a few hundred dollars?"

  Er Ya was obviously surprised. Her father would cost thousands of dollars to sell her a family of clothes. It turns out that there is not gold everywhere in the United States.

   She did believe a little, because Wang Tiejun made so much money in such a short time when he went to the United States. This fact interfered with her ability to judge. Otherwise, with her logical ability, it would be impossible to believe it.

   "Let me tell you, second sister, most Americans, including those in the middle class, can't afford expensive medical insurance, and many Americans won't go to the hospital at all when they get sick..."

   He talked about some common situations in the United States, Erya said how it was different from what the teachers said.

   "It turns out that teachers can lie too." She said unhappily.

   "Er Ya, I told you, read with peace of mind and ignore those things." Daya said.

"Second sister, listen to the eldest sister, the domestic economy is indeed in some difficulties, but the United States is definitely not a paradise, especially not a paradise for the poor, but a **** for the poor. Well, I will record some videos for you to go back and let you Look at what America is like," he said.

   After he finished the phone call, he asked Liu Changfeng to call his family again, and he also said a few words next to him, saying New Year's greetings to his aunt and uncle.

   Originally, he arranged for Liu Changfeng to return to China for the Chinese New Year, but Liu Changfeng refused to go back, saying that he didn't do any work here, and that he had only been here for less than four months, so I was embarrassed to go back.

  Liu Changfeng's two younger brothers came back from working in the south. Hearing that Liu Changfeng is now hanging out with Pharaoh in the United States, he was envy to death.

Pharaoh asked them to go to Fengshen Street after the New Year. He called Bai Changsheng and arranged some things for them. The construction site over there still needs manpower. Brother, there is absolutely no problem with them engaging in security.

   Not only the uncle's house, but also many relatives who are close to the old Wang's family. They all came back during the Chinese New Year. When their family was in difficulties, they all helped, and those who can take care of them now have to be taken care of.

   Not long after, Zhang Lili, Su Qun and other five people came over.

  After breakfast, everyone went out to buy the ingredients for dumplings and the New Year's Eve dinner. When they came back from the supermarket, two cars were full.

   Chef Zhang Lili, it was after 6 o'clock in the evening, the sky was dark, a table of New Year's Eve dinner was also set, and the seven people toasted to celebrate.

   "Unfortunately, there are not many Chinese in Phoenix, and there is no Chinatown. There is no New Year atmosphere here, and it is worse than Chicago." Lao Zhang sighed.

   Old Wang said: "Indeed, I was in Manhattan's Chinatown last year. It was very lively. There were dragon and lion dances."
