Chapter 1719 The conspiracy of the All-Stars
In the NBA, people who are too short have always been discriminated against.
Even Iverson, the answer, suffered discrimination when he first entered the league.
He later earned respect by relying on his own strength.
For people who are too short, such as those under 1.8 meters tall, almost most NBA players will discriminate against them. Not only NBA players, but also the commentators and voting audiences will also discriminate against them.
Although Danny's performance was okay, he was not very good yet, so he was ignored in this year's Rookie Star voting, and ultimately failed to enter the Rookie Challenge.
Wang Yi's words were naturally an attempt to clear up the injustice for little Danny.
When the reporter heard what Wang Yi said, he smiled awkwardly and tried to change the subject: "Maybe Danny Russell can participate in the second-year rookie challenge next year."
However, Wang Yi interrupted the reporter and spoke directly to the camera as if to little Danny:
"Little Danny, respect is earned in this league. I think you have that ability, so I hope to see you in the All-Star Game next year. Do you hear me?"
Meanwhile, Sacramento.
Little Danny, who was sitting in front of the TV watching the game, saw a little moisture in his eyes.
The boss is trying to defend himself.
At the same time, he also secretly made up his mind.
Now that the boss has told fans all over the world, he must not embarrass the boss.
It was also from this day that little Danny started training harder than before.
Ross also saw this scene, and he was slightly moved in his heart.
I just mentioned it to Wang Yi at first, but I didn't expect Wang Yi to be so interested in little Danny.
After Wang Yi watched the Rookie Challenge, he did not watch the three-point contest and skills challenge the next night.
Because the three-point contest is boring, and he wants to put more energy into training.
Wang Gaddafi and his father also continued to caddy for Wang Yi.
Although Gaddafi obtained two tickets to watch the Three Points Challenge, they did not go.
Being able to stay so close to Wang Yi feels better than any challenge.
Wang Yi did not go to the Skills Challenge, which was again criticized by many people.
Some self-media said in his video: "Wang Yi did not go to watch the three-point contest because with his attitude, there is nothing to watch in the three-point contest. He completely looks down on these three-point contests."
players.”
And these players who participated in the three-point contest have long been unhappy with Wang Yi.
Coupled with Arthur Wang fanning the flames, they all made wild remarks about Wang Yi during the interview.
"Wang Yi is a guy who only knows how to talk. If he has the ability, he will try to participate in a three-point contest by himself."
"He no longer exists, he is no longer the three-point king he was back then."
There are many comments online that are very unfavorable to Wang Yi, and his reputation seems to be getting worse and worse.
When Wang Yi looked at these people's comments, he clearly felt that someone was deliberately messing with him.
But Wang Yi no longer cares about these things.
In the past, Wang Yi might have gone on a TV show or made a few remarks during interviews with reporters, but now Wang Yi has seen it clearly.
Everyone will have shortcomings, and as long as there are shortcomings, the scumbags will cling to them.
And the more famous you are, the more negative fans you have.
In the past, if only ten people knew you, there might be only two black fans among them. Later, if 10,000 people knew you, there might be 2,000 black fans among them.
So there is a saying that goes well: as many people love you as there are people who hate you.
Now Wang Yi has already seen it clearly and ignores it at all.
Finally, on the afternoon of the second day, it was the All-Star Game.
The All-Star Game is different from those skirmishes like skill challenges and three-point contests.
If the other games are the dessert before the meal, then the main game is the real meal.
During the main game, this year’s All-Stars will appear one by one.
This year, in order to increase the competitiveness and visibility of the All-Star Game, the league changed the format back to more than 10 years ago.
It's a showdown between Eastern stars and Western stars.
Stars in the Eastern Conference include: Benyama, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Chuang Yang, Sanqiu, Irving, Harden, Embiid and others;
Stars in the Western Conference include: Wang Yi, Arthur Wang, Thick Eyebrow, Mitchell, Doncic, Zion, Towns, Edwards, Lillard, Morant, Jaylen Green, and Teacher Yue.
Today's alliance is in a situation where the west is strong and the east is weak.
Overall, there are more stars in the west than in the east, and their quality is higher.
However, due to the restrictions of the All-Star Game format, there are 12 players from the East and West.
According to All-Star standards, the Eastern Conference simply doesn't have enough 12 players.
There are some players in the Western Conference who are good enough but cannot be selected as All-Stars.
According to the All-Star voting, the starters in the Eastern Conference are: Harden, Three Ball, Irving, Embiid, and Wenban Yama.
The starters for the Western Conference are: Wang Yi, Morant, Arthur, Jokic, and Tang Shi.
The game is scheduled to start at 8pm.
Wang Yi arrived relatively late because he attended training in the morning and had a good sleep at noon.
As for the other stars, they had already arrived in the locker room around 5 p.m.
In the Western Team's locker room, everyone was already present.
Among these people, Wang Arthur is obviously the strongest.
And this guy can really liven up the atmosphere, so after he arrived, all the stars present became excited.
After a brief exchange of greetings, Wang Arthur talked about recent events.
"Jalen Green, honestly speaking, do you want to see Wang Yi make a fool of himself?"
Jaylen Green didn't hesitate: "Of course."
Arthur Wang turned around and asked Morant: "What about you?"
Morant thought about it and replied: "Of course, I don't want to see a foreigner showing off in our country's league."
Arthur Wang turned to look at Downs, Edwards and others: "What about you?"
Basically all these stars have been defeated by Wang Yi.
That feeling was really unpleasant, so they were more or less angry with Wang Yi.
So Downs and the others nodded.
Only Doncic and Teacher Yue remained silent.
Neither of these two people are Americans. Like Wang Yi, they are outsiders.
Sometimes they also suffer from the same embarrassing situation as Wang Yi, being ostracized by the local indigenous people.
But Arthur Wang doesn't care about them, as long as most of the other stars are unhappy with Wang Yi, that's enough.
He looked at the stars who were unhappy with Wang Yi: "To be fair, do you think that guy is arrogant?"
Jaylen Green was the first to answer: "It's not just arrogant, it's simply too arrogant."
Ja Morant also nodded.
Wang Yi was arrogant in front of him not once or twice.
Edwards nodded too.
