NBA: Be the GOAT starting today!

Chapter 112 The winning streak ends, and Stern suddenly appears. (Please subscribe)

"Tracy and Steve have almost the same number of votes. Oh, looks like Yao's fellow townsman likes him a lot."

"Kobe has already received 690,000 votes, more than I expected. He should be the top vote-getter in the first round, right?"

"It could also be Zhou; I think Chinese fans will vote for him in large numbers this time."

Stern continued reading, and he indeed guessed the top vote-getter correctly.

The numbers following Zhou Yi's name shocked even this veteran who had been in charge of the NBA for over two decades.

"Ninety-eight hundred thousand votes, Jenny, are you sure you didn't make a mistake in the tally? Kobe and Garnett don't even have as many votes as he alone?"

Stern put down the documents in his hand and looked sharply at Jenny, the official in charge opposite him.

She shook her head frantically.

"President, this vote used a brand-new anti-cheating system, and we even conducted random phone checks. There were no problems with the vote count."

"Zhou not only led Kobe, who was in second place, by a landslide of 300,000 votes, but also..."

'

As Jenny spoke, she flipped through the files at the back and pointed to a statistical table.

"Furthermore, we conducted a large-scale IP investigation this time. Of the week's votes, only about 600,000 came from China, and nearly 400,000 of those came from the United States."

Jenny's words instantly made Stern realize something.

Nearly 400,000 All-Star votes came from the United States.

This shows that this rookie, who has only played a few dozen games, is only less recognized by American fans than top-tier stars like Kobe, Wade, and Garnett.

He even has more votes than Duncan of the Spurs and Nash of the Suns, who currently only have two or three hundred thousand votes.

Seeing Stern's shocked expression, Jenny cautiously asked about the purpose of their trip.

"President, would you like us to modify the vote count so that the data doesn't look so alarming?"

Jenny's words instantly made Stern adjust his glasses and fall into deep thought.

Even Yao Ming a few years ago, in 2005 and 2006, only had tens of thousands of votes leading to become the All-Star vote king.

Zhou Yi took a commanding lead in the first round, so you can imagine how terrifying the final vote count will be.

If this true data were to be released, it would undoubtedly cause a huge uproar.

Seeing that Stern did not answer, Jenny could only stand quietly and watch the white-haired old man.

After what seemed like an eternity, Stern finally spoke.

"Just record the data normally. Wait for my message. I need to talk to this rising star of the league."

Los Angeles, Zhou Yi is not in a good mood today.

Because just today, the Clippers lost by a large margin at home.

The winning streak ended at eight games, and Zhou Yi's record of thirty consecutive wins also ended at eight games.

And the team that lost wasn't just anyone, it was the Golden State Warriors led by Ellis and Curry.

Zhou Yi had considered ending the winning streak, but he didn't expect it to happen so quickly, especially losing to the Warriors, currently one of the weakest teams in the league.

Losing to his former teammate made Zhou Yi even more upset.

这场比赛，周易面对勇士依然砍下26分11篮板4助攻2盖帽2抢断的豪华数据。

However, Clippers starting point guard Baron Davis performed very poorly.

It seems the wind on the mountaintop a few days ago gave this old guy a cold, or perhaps the female celebrity drained him dry.

Facing the Warriors' two guards, Baron Davis delivered a dismal performance, shooting only 3-for-12.

On the opposing Warriors' duo, Ellis scored 24 points, while Curry delivered a perfect performance, shooting 4-for-6 from three-point range.

"Haha Zhou, thank you for your 'kindness' in helping the Warriors end their two-game losing streak. I love you, brother."

On the phone, the elementary school student was talking very excitedly.

"Steve, don't get cocky. Next time, I'll kick your ass in Oakland."

The elementary school student's words severely provoked Zhou Yi, so after the game, Zhou Yi didn't go home but stayed at the stadium for extra practice.

As time went by, fewer and fewer people left the Clippers' training facility.

In the end, only the training ground and the head coach's office had their lights on.

Finally, the lights in the head coach's office went out, and McMurray came out.

Watching Zhou Yi practice shooting on the court, Mike Malone coughed a few times.

"week..."

"Coach Mike."

Upon hearing Ma Long's voice, Zhou Yi stopped training, sweat dripping from his forehead onto the ground.

Looking at Coach Ma Long under the lights, Zhou Yi suddenly noticed the middle-aged man's fatigue and signs of exhaustion.

A few strands of white hair were visible in Malone's short, yellow hair.

This dedicated head coach has put in a lot of effort to lead this struggling team to where it is today.

"Zhou, you should go back and rest."

Coach Ma Long handed over a towel and water while speaking, and then took the basketball from Zhou Yi's hand and placed it on the basketball hoop.

"That's how long the season is; a team might slip up and lose to a weaker opponent, or they might have a cold night."

Zhou Yi nodded at Mike Malone's words.

He understood this principle, but the sudden break in his winning streak made him feel a long-lost sense of defeat.

It's worth noting that during their eight-game winning streak, the Clippers went two weeks without losing a game.

The two chatted as they walked out of the Clippers' training facility.

Then Zhou Yi noticed that Coach Ma Long was carrying a backpack on his back, which was bulging with what appeared to be a lot of documents.

It seems that the coach is also filled with resentment over tonight's defeat.

The two continued walking until they reached the parking lot and parted ways. Zhou Yi then called out to Coach Ma Long.

"Coach, let's continue our winning streak!"

On the other side, Coach Ma Long nodded emphatically.

After finishing their game against the Warriors, the Clippers packed up and flew to New York the next day.

The Clippers will play an away game at Madison Square Garden.

The Clippers' visit tonight and Zhou Yi's arrival have sent the entire basketball mecca into a frenzy.

In the stands, Knicks fans were not only wearing blue and orange jerseys, but many were also wearing Clippers blue and white jerseys.

"Fakdolan!"

"Fakdolan!"

随着周易一场27分10篮板4助攻5盖帽2抢断的惊艳表现带领快船大比分获胜，场边的尼克斯球迷不断地在疯狂辱骂着尼克斯的蠢货老闆。

The more powerful the I Ching becomes, the more distressed Knicks fans become.

They were so close to this rising star, but foolish Dolan pushed it all away.

Now, only chants of "Fuck Dolan" can express the dissatisfaction in the hearts of Knicks fans.

After the match, Zhou Yi completed his routine away press conference.

However, when Zhou Yi was about to head to the away team's locker room, the appearance of a staff member made him feel strange.

"Zhou, this way with me, Mr. Stern wants to see you."
