NBA: Be the GOAT starting today!

Chapter 111 Zhou Yi's Connections

Cleveland, the editor's office of The Plain Dealer.

Susan Goldberg sat in her office, looking at the recent flood of news reports advocating for Durant's vote, and smiled with satisfaction.

Everything was going according to her and Los Angeles Times editor Ross Stanton's plan.

With the two newspapers making their moves, a whole host of local newspapers followed suit, launching their own campaigns to garner votes for Durant in the All-Star game.

Charlotte newspapers, in particular, were very vocal, as their star player, Sam Jackson, is still undergoing rehabilitation.

This tacitly agreed-upon scheme of using someone else to commit murder is unfolding in some media outlets across the United States.

"OK, Leon Rose, I've kept my promise."

Susan Goldberg took out her phone and sent a message to LeBron's agent.

As a media outlet that has been working with LeBron James since 02, James' agent team was also involved in this matter.

The sudden rise of the I Ching not only frightened James, but also worried some people around him.

Compared to Durant of the Thunder, these guys are more afraid of Zhou Yi of the Clippers.

Because Durant's competition with James was at most on the court, while Zhou Yi's stronger business acumen crossed the line for those around James.

After all, the NBA is, in essence, just a large-scale commercial event using basketball as a pretext.

After Susan Goldberg sent the message, Leon Rose did not reply.

So she continued browsing social media, but the more she looked, the more uncomfortable her expression became.

On social media platforms such as Twitter, Zhou Yixin's campaign video was widely shared by numerous media outlets.

The video was flooded with comments and discussions from fans, a scale that truly frightened Susan Goldberg.

But that's not the scariest part.

"Please vote for Zhou, thank you."

When Beckham's two sons were speaking in their childish voices in the video, campaigning for Zhou Yi, Susan Goldberg could see a visible and rapid increase in likes and shares.

Especially at the end of the video, Beckham, looking doting, was pulled in front of the camera by his two sons.

"Dad, please say something, please."

"Zhou Yi is a great player, and I hope everyone can support their children's idol."

When Susan Goldberg saw this, her pupils contracted, and she was completely stunned.

Oh my god!

That's David Beckham, currently the world's most commercially valuable athlete and a global icon.

If we're talking about fame alone, the Beckhams are one of the world's top families.

Their family has tens of millions of fans worldwide.

It's surprising that Zhou Yi was able to get this whole family to campaign for him; it seems that Beckham's two children are loyal fans of Zhou Yi.

While still in shock, Susan Goldberg continued to check Twitter.

Besides the Beckham family, many celebrities from the arts and sports circles who are on good terms with Zhou Yi were also speaking out and campaigning for him.

"Zhou deserves to be an All-Star starter this year."

On set, Spielberg smiled at the camera and said, "By the way, he'll also be starring in my friend John Whitesell's movie next summer."

On the set of "Jonah Hex", Megan Fox also showed off a photo of herself wearing the jersey that Zhou Yi wore when he defeated the Lakers.

"Zhou is amazing, I'm a fan of his too, and I hope to see him in Dallas."

Watching the campaign videos recorded by these two top celebrities in the US and even the world for Zhou Yi, Susan Goldberg's hand holding the mouse was already trembling slightly.

As these three top celebrities released their campaign videos, many other stars, either sincerely or simply following the trend, also began campaigning for Zhou Yi.

"Leon Rose, perhaps you can't stop Zhou Yi."

Susan Goldberg took out her phone and sent this message after the previous one.

Now she understands why Zhou Yi didn't care about the vote count when talking about the All-Star game in front of the media before—because he was just too popular.

What Susan Goldberg didn't know was that on the other side of the ocean, there was an even more "terrifying" group of fans who had just seen Zhou Yi's campaign video.

At a certain industrial university, Li Xingchen was watching videos on his computer out of boredom.

"Look, Xingchen! Yi Ge posted an All-Star campaign video, wow, there's even a detailed voting guide from Sina below."

Li Xingchen's interest in watching the video was interrupted by her roommate Lao Zhu's shout.

.

"Where? Oh my god, look at the next news article. Beckham and Spielberg are both campaigning for Yi Jianlian to be in the All-Star game over there."

As Li Xingchen shouted, he snatched the mouse and opened the news, followed by two wolf howls from the dormitory.

"Holy crap, the female lead from Transformers 2!"

Wow! Megan Fox still keeps Yi's jersey.

The two men drooled as they watched Megan Fox's stunning figure in the video.

After trembling for a long time, the two finally remembered their purpose: to vote for Brother Yi.

Meanwhile, across the land of China...

Zhou Yi's campaign video was widely shared by major media outlets, and more and more people participated in this voting frenzy for Zhou Yi.

On the NBA's official website, each ID can only vote once per day.

Therefore, Chinese football fans who voted for the I Ching mobilized the power of the masses.

One by one, the supportive electronic votes converged on the network signal at the NBA headquarters in the United States for the All-Star voting statistics office.

The NBA headquarters in Manhattan, New York.

Stern's mood has improved recently, and Arenas' negative news has been overshadowed by Zhou Yi's winning streak.

Fans are praising the NBA's rising stars, and everyone is starting to love this vibrant and youthful league again.

Sitting behind his large desk, Stern was planning the Dallas All-Star Game.

The biggest highlights of the All-Star Game are the All-Star Game and the Slam Dunk Contest, which is everyone's favorite.

However, the dunk contest entry list recently submitted did not contain any names that Stern was very satisfied with.

How can we get those famous athletes to participate?

Stern was deep in thought when there was a knock on his office door.

"Come in."

Entering Stern's office was a female official named Jeanie, who was in charge of All-Star voting statistics. A few days later, the NBA...

The alliance is about to announce the latest round of voting results.

"President, this is the latest All-Star voting result. Your decision is required."

"What's wrong?"

"Please take a look at this yourself."

"Jenny said, her face full of shock, as she shakily handed the document to Stern.

Seeing this official, who had worked for many years, act this way, Stern glanced at him with displeasure and took the document.

The document contains a detailed record of all the current All-Star voting information.

Stern reviewed the documents, now wanting to see what exactly was going on that had shocked even seasoned NBA officials.
