Healing Basketball

Chapter 414 414. The so-called favor

After posting the data of the top five starters in the Eastern Conference and playing everyone's highlights, the TV screen switched back to the sulky face that joked in the studio.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the next announcement is the starting lineup of the Western Conference All-Stars, Liu, Bryant, Garnett, Duncan, Yao, and the five of them have been selected for the All-Star starting lineup for the second consecutive year!"

This way is quite fresh.

Or jokes will live on.

Happy is happy, but Liu Xiu just feels a bit regretful.

Even if you know the answer, you still want to have that 'suspense' process.

Just like small money, Stern will carry out multi-layer packaging at any rate. When it comes to the joke, he directly writes "I want just bad money" on his face, for fear that others will not know.

The TV joke continued: "Congratulations to Bryant for being selected as the All-Star starter with 267 million votes, and Nash with 143 million votes and ranked third among guards. It is a pity that he was not selected as the All-Star starter.

Congratulations to Duncan for being selected as the All-Star starter with 249 million votes. Congratulations to Garnett for being selected as the All-Star starter with 241 million votes. Anthony ranked third among the forwards with 188 million votes. "

The results of the All-Star voting were posted on the TV screen.

On the western side, Yao Ming and Liu Xiu ranked first in their respective positions, but their votes were counted.

Western center Wang Zhizhi got second with only 89 votes, and Kwame Brown third with only 75 votes, lower than the second and third Eastern centers.

The third to fifth votes of the western guards are quite high. Nash has 142 million votes, Ray Allen has 101 million votes, and Ginobili has 72 votes.

Liu Xiu was a little nervous, and the atmosphere in the living room was also very tense. It's okay if you can't get the ticket king, but of course you want to get it if you can.

With 316 million votes, O'Neal became the second player in the history of the All-Stars to get more than 300 million votes.

The first to break 300 million votes was Liu Xiu last season, with 322 million votes, which is still the first in history.

But seeing the votes of other western guards, Liu Xiu really can't guarantee that he will be higher than O'Neal.

As long as Yao Ming and O'Neal are not in the same division, they can always form a vote monopoly.

This season, Ben Wallace, Mourning, Kwame Brown, Wang Zhizhi and other centers are relatively popular, and the topic is quite high, but they can't get many votes.

After showing the votes for a while, the one who should come still came.

The joke continued: "Yao and Liu got the most votes for the centers and guards in the Western Conference. They are also the top two players in the Western Conference. Will the All-Star vote champion appear among them, or will O'Neal be the All-Star vote champion for the first time in his career? Next, let’s announce the number of votes for Liu, the western defender with the highest number of votes..."

"屮!" Liu Xiuxian couldn't help but rant when she heard her last name.

Anne Hathaway immediately said: "Jess can't swear!"

"Hey, Annie, do you also learn swear words first when learning a foreign language?" Liu Xiu asked in surprise.

"I didn't learn swear words first, I recently watched a few Jackie Chan Chinese movies... No, is this the point, how did we talk about this?"

Anne Hathaway quickly looked at the TV screen, the mosaic on Liu Xiu's votes was gone, 362 million votes!

Joke shouted in his sharp voice: "Congratulations to Liu for breaking the record of the highest votes in the All-Stars maintained by him!"

Qing'er cheered first, and Anne Hathaway also cheered, but the two of them found that other people in the living room were not so happy.

Anne Hathaway asked: "What's wrong with you? You seem unhappy?"

The aunt replied: "Annie, Jess just broke the record of last season's votes, not necessarily the top vote, and the top vote is usually announced last."

Anne-Hathaway finally came to her senses, no wonder Liu Xiu swears just now.

On the TV screen, the joke is also playing up the atmosphere at this time: "...Is it Liu Lianzhuang who broke the record for the top vote? Or Yao set a new record with a higher number of votes and became the new All-Star vote champion?..."

With this impassioned and sharp voice, the hearts of Anne-Hathaway and Qing'er also became chilled, and the loser who was closest to the winner of the vote was really miserable...

After Joke finished building the atmosphere impassionedly with a shrill voice, the mosaic on Yao Ming's votes disappeared.

Yao Ming finally got 335 million votes.

The joke said loudly: "Unfortunately, although Yao became the third player in the history of the All-Stars to break through 300 million votes, he failed to surpass Liu. Congratulations to Liu for becoming the NBA All-Star vote leader for two consecutive years!"

The sighs and voices of regret in the living room stopped suddenly, and it was so quiet that only the sound from the TV remained.

It was still a child who reacted quickly, Qing'er exclaimed: "Brother, brother, you have won the ticket! You have won the ticket again!"

Liu Xiu was really shocked this time!The system prompts him to get the 1W healing value for being selected as the first starter of the All-Star, and the 2W healing value for winning the All-Star ticket champion, but he can't recover from the disconnection.

The ups and downs of life are so exciting!
……

The same sentence - the ups and downs of life is too exciting, and it appeared at the same time in the living room of a villa in another city in the United States.

The loser who is closest to the champion of the votes is also miserable-this kind of emotion disappeared in the No.1 family of the Chinese basketball outside line, and suddenly appeared in the No.1 home of the Chinese basketball inside line!

Yao Ming was ready to call Liu Xiu just now, and asked Liu Xiu to play World of Warcraft together to brush up the dungeon. He was so excited that he was already writhing. Now, he is also sluggish. He can't hear Ye Li talking to him, and he is also disconnected. up.

After a while, Yao Ming came back to his senses, touched his body frantically, and said to Ye Li, "Lily, where is my cell phone?"

Ye Li thought for a while and replied: "Charging in the room, what's wrong? Do you want to call someone?"

Yao Ming hurriedly said: "I'm not calling anyone, you go and turn off the phone, I unplug the phone line, hurry up..."

Yao Ming was in a hurry and responded quickly, but it was still too late, the phone in the living room had already rang!

With Ye Li's confused face, Yao Ming stood in front of the landline for a long time. After the call time expired and the phone was automatically rejected, he called again. Yao Ming struggled for a while before he picked up the phone and answered it.

"Dayao, do you have time in the afternoon? You don't seem to have a game tomorrow, so let's open a black dungeon together in the afternoon... By the way, did you know that I was elected as the All-Star Voter King again..."

……

……

Liu Xiu broke the record for two consecutive years and won the All-Star vote, replicating the achievements of Grant Hill in the first and second grades!
当时的格兰特-希尔也是新秀年就以128万票打破了乔丹保持的121万票的全明星票数纪录，二年级以135万票自己打破了自己保持的票数纪录，以一万7000多票的优势力压72胜赛季的乔丹连庄全明星票王。

After Liu Xiu asked Yao Ming to be rejected, he was very sad. Afterwards, many phone calls and text messages of congratulations calmed his inner sadness.

Anthony and James, both forwards and third, called.

Although James is regretful, it's okay. As a sophomore, it's easy for him to compete for a substitute among the Eastern All-Star forwards.

Anthony congratulated Liu Xiu for a few words. Before Liu Xiu had time to heal his good brother, the phone was hung up.

There is no way, the Western forward group is not comparable to the Eastern Conference.

Nowitzki, Marion, Stoudemire, Randolph... these names, Liu Xiu looked desperate for Anthony.

However, the All-Stars will always be selected, and sooner or later, Liu Xiu can only silently cheer for the society, Brother Dong, and chat for three seconds to express his heart.

...

According to the usual practice, my uncle and aunt prepared a party, and Liu Xiu invited his teammates to come.

The teammates were also already prepared. When Liu Xiu was elected as the All-Star Voter again, they guessed that there would be a party.

Payton, who came to the party, brought the recommendation letter that Liu Xiu asked him to get before.

Although Liu Xiu thought it would be no problem to ask Peyton for this matter at first, but after thinking about it later, it might be a little troublesome for Peyton. He still planned to find the boss's secretary.

However, after he discussed with his agent, Bill Duffy suggested that it would be a better choice for him to find Payton.

The boss's network is natural, and it will not become better. If you have the conditions to open up new contacts, of course you have to try, just make a phone call and talk.

Payton has been in the basketball world for so many years, so he must have his connections. Sometimes it is not a bad thing to deliberately trouble the other party. Only when there is a request, will he be asked by the other party in the future. Similar to reciprocity, you have to give the other party a chance to ask.

Liu Xiu received the recommendation letter and said to Peyton, "Gary, thank you so much, if you need my help in the future, just ask."

Payton said with a smile: "We are teammates, you don't need to keep such small things in mind, Oregon State University, I still have a bit of face there."

Just as he was talking, Peyton shouted towards the entrance of the yard.

Monique James, who Liu Xiu knew before, Payton's wife, was also a basketball player in high school and college.

Hearing Peyton's voice, Monique came over with the four children, and gave Liu Xiu a warm hug.

"Jess, long time no see, is it my illusion? Why are you so handsome again?"

"No, no, no..." Liu Xiu raised her index finger and waved it, "It's not your illusion, I also think I'm handsome again."

"Hahaha..." As soon as Monique came, Payton became a supporting role. She introduced to Liu Xiu: "Jess, they are my son, Gary II, Julian, little Gary, my daughter Raquel, they I studied in Los Angeles last semester, and just transferred to Portland this semester..."

Liu Xiu looked at Payton's four children. The oldest should be thirteen or fourteen years old, and the youngest should be five or six years old. They may all be born in the 90s, that is, they may have been born in a concentrated manner in [-]... Really able to give birth!

It is this talent for naming, which can catch up with the magician family.

After Monique introduced him, he slapped the oldest child on the head: "Son, I have fulfilled my promise to take you to the warden's party. In one semester, if you can't become the strongest player on the new team , you don’t even want to get a ticket to the Rose Garden in your life...Jess, don’t look at my eldest son’s stupid look, his basketball talent is not bad, he led the team to the Southern California championship last year, you have time If you want to, help us take him, he doesn’t listen to me talking to Gary, mentioning basketball is your name..."

Liu Xiu knew that Monique had a rather wild character, the one who always had the upper hand when talking to Peyton, now that she saw Monique with children, she knew what it means to be truly wild...

However, Liu Xiu felt that the last sentence was the key point.

For a letter of recommendation, Liu Xiu owed Peyton a favor that was not big but not small.

They are both parents. It seems that the Peyton couple decisively used this favor on their eldest son!
