"The player ranked 12th in Western Conference All-Star votes is... Zhao... Feiyang."
When the host finally called out Zhao Feiyang's name, many fans in front of the live broadcast screen finally breathed a sigh of relief. Even Zhao Feiyang's agent David Stock is like this.
He even clasped his hands and prayed, "Thank God! Fortunately, Zhao was successfully selected for the All-Star list... It really scared me to death..."
Chinese fans on the other side of the ocean were also frightened.
"Damn it! I almost thought Zhao Feiyang couldn't make it to the All-Stars... So many of us Chinese fans voted for him. If he can't make it to the All-Stars, then it's really our problem... ..”
"But we are still very curious. There are so many of us, there are a lot of fans, and there are some passerby fans... So many votes were cast for Zhao Feiyang, how could it be possible that he was just the last one to be eliminated? Selected?"
"The last one picked is a bit of a loser! Just this one moment, if it's just a little bit close, Zhao Feiyang will lose..."
At the same time, Zhao Feiyang, who was sitting at home, was also very depressed. After experiencing the surprise and joy after the results were announced, Zhao Feiyang gradually became unhappy.
He believes that many Chinese fans support him, but he doesn't know if there are also many Timberwolves fans supporting him.
In short, the fans' voting performance actually proves one thing, that is, they have no confidence in him, or they do not have enough trust in him.
Otherwise, the number of votes would not be so bad!
Being looked down upon is undoubtedly a very unpleasant thing.
Especially the last one was selected, which made Zhao Feiyang feel quite ashamed! He doesn't think he's any worse than the players drafted first, especially when some of them don't have as good numbers as him.
On the night when Zhao Feiyang was depressed, ESPN also reported specifically on the All-Star lineup. Of course, ESPN made a special introduction to the online voting selection. In order to make the topic more interesting, the last-minute decision has undoubtedly become the focus of this selection.
Zhao Feiyang, as the last selected Western Conference All-Star substitute player, also attracted the attention of many people.
Some Warriors and Lakers fans commented on this matter online.
"Didn't you say he was great before? Why did he almost fail to be selected as an All-Star this time? Looking at it this way, no one should be optimistic about him... He is just an older rookie, who cares? Lakers We don't need him at all, we have Kobe Bryant and that's enough..."
"The Warriors don't need him either. We have Klay and Steph... Some Asian fans think he's great, but I don't think so... It's definitely wise for the Warriors to trade him." decision......."
"That's right. He's just a kid from China. If it weren't for the NBA needing the Chinese market, who would need a player like him? All of this is just for some kind of rightness. I don't care, so I dare to say it... ...This guy doesn't deserve to be an All-Star at all..."
Zhao Feiyang's approval rate was not low before. Because of the voting situation this time, many Lakers and Warriors fans who didn't like him suddenly stood up.
As Asian players, they were already facing tremendous pressure, and these people were quite unscrupulous on the Internet. As a result, these voices suddenly became the mainstream on the Internet. From the outside, it seemed that Zhao Feiyang was being ridiculed by the crowd.
Zhao Feiyang has not yet responded to these voices. Timberwolves fans have already organized themselves to fight back.
"You ugly guys, who cares what you think? Zhao's performance is absolutely All-Star level, and we Minnesota fans are willing to support him because he leads us out of this difficult situation..."
"The Lakers do have Kobe, but what about your record? Kobe has reached the end of his career. Do the Lakers still rely too much on him? Man, wake up! Where are the super rookies you selected? Where are they now? The bottom team should just shut up!”
"The Warriors are nothing special. Didn't Stephen lead the Warriors to lose to us before? Could it be that you deliberately let us do this? If you lose, you lose. Zhao has proven his ability, but the Warriors themselves will not cherish it. A player like Zhao..."
"Damn Ice Man, shut up! That guy is willing to go to your kind of ice and snow place. Any one of our teams is better than you. Even if you are at a low point, it is only temporary, but you will never have a chance. Competing for the championship..."
Fans of several teams are quarreling on the Internet, but in reality, after the roster of the All-Star Game is determined, the arrival of the All-Star Weekend is only a matter of time.
In order to warm up the NBA All-Star Game in advance, the officials specially called together the selected players and specially designed a poster.
Above are the Eastern All-Star team led by LeBron James and the Western All-Star team led by Stephen Curry.
The two of them stood in the C position, and the other players were arranged in order.
There wasn't much of a problem during the shooting, but after the poster was shot, Zhao Feiyang found that he was placed at the very back.
Not only are there only a small part, but even if you don't look carefully, you may not notice them all.
Such treatment also made Zhao Feiyang a little unhappy, but he knew the rules here. Whether someone from the official side did it deliberately, or they ignored him unintentionally, in short, strength always speaks on this court, and only strength can resolve all these disputes. .
"Wait!"
"This time I will never let down the fans who support me!"
Zhao Feiyang posted an update on his personal social media account, and then devoted himself to the game.
Perhaps the hard work brought about by all this turned into motivation. Before officially entering the All-Star Weekend, the Timberwolves won another game under the leadership of Zhao Feiyang.
After this game, the Timberwolves also completely stabilized their eighth place in the Western Conference.
Not only that, they have every chance to go one step further.
Once the All-Star Weekend is over, if the Timberwolves continue to win most of the victories in the remaining regular season, they will have a chance to get a good ranking in the playoffs.
Not long after, the All-Star Weekend officially arrived.
This time, Zhao Feiyang specially flew to New York in advance, where Jiang Qiuyue was waiting for him.
The two hadn't seen each other for a long time, especially after he came to Minneapolis. Zhao Feiyang didn't let Jiang Qiuyue come to see him because of the long distance.
Now that the two finally met, Zhao Feiyang's "anger" that he had accumulated for a long time was finally put to use again.
