You should cross the mountains like a brave man

Chapter 482 Meeting with the Governor

The next day, Wei Xia attended an event prepared for him by Adidas.

The participants of the event were screened by officials, excluding those who might cause damage, and choosing those who don't care about Wei Xia's off-site remarks.

However, there are always some deeply hidden wolves, such as a reporter from Boston.

The question he asked Wei Xia was this: "If you had to choose, would you still choose your current life?"

"It depends on how you look at my life—as an NBA player, I will naturally bear some pressure, but with some ordinary people who are running around for a living, worrying about credit card bills, and worrying about their children's studies, there is no doubt much happiness—if I were given another chance to choose, I would still choose to be an NBA player."

Normally, this would be the end of it.

"You are very correct. Being a public figure will naturally bring some pressure, but you have a better life than ordinary people. So, do you think as a player, should you express your opinions on social issues?"

Murderous... Wei Xia looked carefully at this reporter from Boston, but he didn't expect Adidas to be on all possible precautions, and there was still a fish that slipped through the net.

"Of course, as early as the 60s, there were many great players who spoke out for social issues." Wei Weixia paused, "However, this does not affect some people who want to become pure basketball players. Michael Jordan was my childhood idol. I hope to play purely like him."

Although the reporter's question will bring some problems to Wei Xia, it is not as extreme as other media people.

For his way of asking questions, Wei Xia is acceptable.

Wei Xia's political incorrectness has already spread outside the alliance, which has greatly increased his popularity among ordinary people in the United States.

A Chinese American who grew up in the United States eats American food, earns American money, sings the American national anthem, and turns his arms outward?It's a shame for America's cooking education!

Therefore, no matter how much Adidas takes precautions, some unfriendly or ill-intentioned people will eventually appear in Weixia's activities.

Wei Xia's activities lasted from 08:30 in the morning to [-]:[-] in the evening. Wei Xia and several other Adidas superstars attended Adidas' internal party.

Only Arenas and Duncan are willing to show favor to Wei Xia.

The others are intentionally or unintentionally keeping a distance, not approaching, not speaking.

It just so happened that Wei Xia also didn't want to establish superficial friendship with these unfamiliar people.

During the period, Duncan said a cold joke: "Wish is the most kind person here."

"Why?" Arenas asked cooperatively.

Duncan replied: "Only he dares to show that he is just a player in this era when everyone has to speak out for social issues, so I think he will definitely become the second Michael Jordan because of this pure professionalism in the future."

This joke is cold because no one can hear him telling a cold joke.

Everyone just thought Duncan was bragging about Weixia, and didn't think about it deeply.

"Of course," the person involved heard Duncan's cold joke, and naturally picked up his stalk. "The Chinese also buy 'wipo'." (Weicha's exclusive sneakers)

Arenas asked strangely: "But if you do this, won't more Americans refuse to buy your sneakers?"

"You don't understand this. This is a more advanced way of patriotism."

Till here, Arenas realized that Wei Xia put this nonsense!
After the Adidas business party, Wesha seemed to have little to do.

Tomorrow is the first day of the All-Star Weekend. Wei Xia did not participate in any individual events, so he is completely free to allocate time.

The next morning, after Wei Xia woke up, he ate the breakfast arranged by the hotel, and then went to the gym to exercise properly.

As a result, Wesha bumped into Arnold Schwarzenegger who was staying in the same hotel as him.

The governor found Wei Xia, looked at him from a distance, and finally walked to his side and said a word: "Hi, may I bother you for a while?"

"Of course, sir."

Wescha basically grew up watching Governor movies, and he'll never forget that Jamie Lee Curtis dance in "True Lies."Although he never made a vow to marry her back home in this life, Curtis was the first female star to ask him to set up a tent.

awesome!Everyone who hasn't seen it should watch it.That sex dance alone was worth two hours of my time.

"You've been 'showing off' recently. It's not good to be too conspicuous at such a young age...Most young players at your age will be cautious in their words and deeds."

The governor often came to Staples to watch the game and gave Wechat a standing ovation many times for his wonderful counter-dunk dunks. He had a good impression of this young man.

"Sometimes, I don't want to express my opinion, but the media insists on expressing my opinion, but my answer is not what they want to hear." Wei Xia asked, "What should I do?"

The governor said with a smile: "At the end of last year, LeBron encountered the same problem as you. Guess how he did it?"

The famous "I need to know more".

Wei Xia's problem is that he can be tactful, and at the beginning, he also wanted to get things over tactfully.But the reporter misinterpreted his words, which made him hit the wrong side.He was forced to find out the inside story, and what he learned was completely contrary to what the mainstream American media reported.

What should he do?To be an American who accepts democratic screening of information, or to be an American who tells the truth?
In the beginning, it was just the media making things difficult for him, but later on it was different, he didn't want to tell lies.

"LeBron's situation is different from mine. No one will keep asking him, but the media is forcing me to express my opinion every day. I tell the truth about what I have learned, and they are still not satisfied." Wei Xia said angrily, "Since what I do is wrong, let me be wrong to the end."

Besides, me!not at all!wrong! ! !

The governor said regretfully: "You put yourself in a dangerous situation and stubbornly embarked on the road against everyone. The pressure you will bear in the future will exceed your imagination. What you have to fight is not only your opponent, but also the prejudice rooted in people's hearts."

Although Schwarzenegger is a governor who shouts slogans, his reminder is far better for Wesha than those who want him to change how to do it.

He saw through the essence of the matter.

Afterwards, the topic of communication between the two gradually became lighter, and they exchanged experiences about fitness.

In the end, they said good luck to each other.

Good luck, a simple word with eight letters, is extraordinary to them.

Return from the gym to the hotel room to take a shower and change into clean clothes.

The popular star is preparing to start a day of activities, and Wei Xia turned down most of the unnecessary activities after what happened yesterday.

Except for some that cannot be shirked, none of the others are left.

Just like that, on the first day of the All-Star Weekend, he actually had to wait until night to have anything to do.
