NBA: Be the GOAT starting today!

Chapter 113: The First Round of Votes Announced, Shocking the Entire United States

As the staff member spoke, Zhou Yi followed him to a private box on the second floor of Madison Square Garden.

Pushing open the door, I saw the white-haired old man, Stern, sitting inside.

Zhou Yi went inside, and the staff member sensibly closed the door and stood guard outside.

After an unknown amount of time, Zhou Yi and Stern walked out side by side, both with smiles on their faces.

No one knows what the two talked about; they only saw Stern shake hands with Zhou Yi warmly before the two left.

After finishing their away game in New York, the entire Clippers team packed up and flew back to Los Angeles.

In their next game, the Clippers will face the third-ranked Mavericks at home, and then fly to Oklahoma City to play the Thunder.

Compared to the highly anticipated Clippers vs. Mavericks game, what fans and media are more eagerly awaiting now is the first round of All-Star voting.

The next afternoon.

At NBA headquarters in New York, the NBA All-Star voting statistics committee held a press conference.

Statistics official Jenny stood on the press conference stage, with a large number of media personnel sitting below, waiting for news.

When it was announced that Kobe had received 710,000 votes in the first round, the media reporters in the audience exclaimed in admiration.

"Oh, it looks like Kobe will dominate this All-Star voting from the very first round."

"Is there still a Zhou's name that hasn't been read?"

Many celebrities across the internet are campaigning for him, including the Beckham family and Megan Fox.

As he spoke, Barkley picked up a document and read it aloud in front of the camera.

"Look at Durant, who's being heavily promoted by the Los Angeles Times and the Cleveland Plain Dealer. He only got 27 votes. He's not even worthy of shining Zhou's shoes."

On the court, Zhou Yi also felt the hostility from all the Mavericks players towards him tonight.

After all, not everyone likes a young man who is both famous and talented, especially since this All-Star Game is being held in Dallas.

On the field, although Silver Horn King didn't say anything, his eyes clearly declared that he was going to win tonight's match.

Although he hasn't completely shaken off the reputation of being a "soft" player after winning the 11 championship, Nowitzki is now widely recognized as the most offensively potent power forward.

With 31 points and 12 rebounds, Jamison had absolutely no answer for Nowitzki tonight.

However, the Mavericks still left Staples Center by a narrow margin of 3 points.

Facing Marion, Zhou Yi, who had already scored 25 points, hit a crucial three-pointer and stole Nowitzki's pass in the final moments.

Finally, tonight, Zhou Yi avenged his previous loss to the Mavericks.

In front of the camera, Nowitzki and Zhou Yi embraced.

"Welcome to Dallas, All-Star superstar."

The driver was completely convinced of his defeat tonight, having witnessed the young man's relentless efforts on the field.

"Thanks, Dirk. See you in Dallas."

After the two hugged, reporters surrounded Zhou Yi.

Now, after each night's match, Zhou Yi experiences being interviewed by multiple layers of reporters.

The reporters naturally focused their conversation on the All-Star game tonight.

"Thank you for your support. I think this is not only an honor for me, but also an honor for them to stand with me on the All-Star stage."

As Zhou Yi spoke to the blonde reporter, he looked toward the ditch.

At that moment, another reporter next to him suddenly raised a question.

"Zhou, according to sources within the league, they invited you to participate in this year's Slam Dunk Contest?"
