You clearly know how wronged you are.
Moreover, Xiao Gen was similar to Lao Liu, facing Catherine's questioning, wishing he could prove he only ate one bowl of noodles.
"What are you talking about?"
At this moment, Tang Long apologized to a few reporters who were interviewing and walked towards the two.
"She..."
Xiao Gen opened his mouth, but ultimately didn't finish his sentence.
She was still a kind person.
It's just that people like Catherine, apart from being arrogant, had another characteristic: they were relentless when they had the upper hand.
What's more, she didn't have any valid reason, yet she brazenly said, "According to the interview order, I should have been before her..."
"I thought it was something serious."
Tang Long waved his hand, impatiently interrupting Catherine, and pulled Xiao Gen, saying, "What line? With our relationship, we can just come over and interview, right? Who do you want to interview, LeBron or Coach Brown?"
As he spoke, Tang Long pulled Xiao Gen next to James, "LeBron, our Xiao has a few questions for you."
Xiao Gen was stunned.
Her face was flushed, especially when she saw the naked stares of her colleagues, she felt like she wanted to burrow into a crack in the ground.
But she still felt a little proud inside.
"Xiao, what do you want to ask?"
James pulled Tang Long over, put his arm around Tang Long's shoulder, and said, "Like Tang said, what's our relationship? Just ask away."
Her colleagues were now truly envious.
Their gazes towards Xiao Gen were full of deep envy.
Fortunately, Xiao Gen had been through some training recently. She had not only done an exclusive interview for Tang Long but also for the Cavaliers team. She quickly adjusted and began to ask questions with the microphone.
The questions were professional, indicating that Xiao Gen had prepared.
"Xiao, do you want to interview our coach? I think everyone must be eager to know his mood right now."
After the interview, Tang Long and James took Xiao Gen to the locker room to find Mike Brown.
The cameraman holding the camera was dumbfounded. This actually worked.
Back in the locker room, Mike Brown still couldn't hide his excitement.
The Cavaliers, under his leadership, had achieved 30 consecutive wins!
...
"First, let us congratulate the Cavaliers. This season is destined to be a record-breaking season for the Cavaliers. We can see that even though the game is over, the fans at the scene are still unwilling to leave. Everyone is happily interacting with the players."
Yang Yi first congratulated the Cavaliers and Tang Long, then looked at Zhang Zhidao and Yu Jia.
"The Cavaliers have achieved 30 consecutive wins. The next few opponents are not very strong. For example, the upcoming away game against the Grizzlies, and the away game against the Timberwolves. These teams in the West are already giving up. What do you two think is the maximum number of consecutive wins the Cavaliers will achieve? And who will end the Cavaliers' winning streak?"
"It's hard to say," said Zhang Zhidao with a smile. "The gap in strength between the Eastern teams is quite obvious. Compared to the East, the gap between Western teams is not that large. Moreover, the Cavaliers are currently on a roll, and everyone wants to defeat the Cavaliers. I think every game for the Cavaliers will be difficult."
"My opinion is a little different from Coach Zhang's."
Yu Jia nodded slightly towards Zhang Zhidao, first showing respect, and then continued, "The teams Coach Zhang mentioned just now are bottom-tier teams in the West, especially the upcoming away game against the Grizzlies, who are still on a losing streak. Even if they want to ambush the Cavaliers, their strength doesn't allow it. I think it will be more difficult against the Raptors or the Nuggets."
Not only were the commentators in the broadcast booth divided, but the fan base also had differing opinions on how many consecutive wins the Cavaliers could achieve.
Some said the Cavaliers would continue to win consecutively in the regular season, while some fans agreed with Zhang Zhidao's analysis.
Of course, there were also fans who agreed with Yu Jia's analysis.
The two groups of fans argued with examples, and for a time, whether on the forum or on the message boards, discussions about the Cavaliers' winning streak analysis were heated.
Just as no one could convince the other, Tang Long's New Year's greeting video arrived.
At this moment, everyone realized that another year had passed.
Under the website's promotion, a major event caught everyone's attention.
All-Star voting.
That year, Yao Ming received the most votes. Some players and fans in the United States were unhappy, claiming Yao Ming was faking votes. As a result, the league had to step in and announce an investigation.
The result, of course, was no faked votes; it was purely due to China's love for Yao Ming.
After that, the NBA changed the voting rules. Fan votes accounted for only 50%, and China's votes were also diluted.
This angered Chinese fans, but also made them proud of Yao Ming, as not many players could force the NBA to change its rules.
"Who are you voting for?"
"Of course Yao Ming, Yi Jianlian, and Tang Long."
"And you?"
"I'm voting for Tang Long."
"It's not one vote per person. Yao Ming and Tang Long are not in the same conference. You can vote for two centers in the East and West together."
"It can be like this, then can I also vote for Sun Yue?"
...
All-Star voting was in full swing.
Soon.
American basketball fans discovered that Tang Long was ranked first with over 2 million votes, more than 1 million votes ahead of Garnett in second place. Even his teammate James only had over 1 million votes.
While the Cavaliers fans were okay, fans of other teams were not.
What did this mean?
Everyone else had over 1 million votes, and even China's Yao Ming only had over 700,000 votes at this time, but why did he alone have over 2 million votes?
For a time, news of Tang Long faking votes dominated the major sports sections in the United States, and even the news sections published articles about the huge discrepancy in All-Star voting.
Many fans demanded that the league recount the votes. Some extreme fans even demanded that China's votes be invalidated because China's large population would still give them an advantage even if calculated at 50%.
It was fine when fans made a fuss, but then some star players spoke out, believing that the league needed to give the players an explanation.
Especially Kenyon Martin of the Nuggets, and Don Chaney, the head coach of the Clippers, directly criticized the voting fans as stupid, saying that votes should be based on on-court performance and that popularity alone should not grant an All-Star ticket!
After Don Chaney's statement, a number of coaches and players implicitly or explicitly stated that the voting was unfair and that the votes needed to be recounted.
Under pressure, Stern had to recount the votes again.
This made Don Chaney and others happy.
Especially during the pre-game interview, Don Chaney frankly stated that when the tide recedes, it will be clear who is not wearing clothes!
Don Chaney's meaning was clear: Tang Long's position as the top vote-getter was clearly due to vote manipulation.
Don Chaney's interview made the already highly anticipated Cavaliers and Tang Long the focus of attention in the United States. Countless American reporters swarmed the Cavaliers' training facility, asking one tricky question after another.
Mike Brown, tired of the annoyance, not only imposed a gag order on the players but also sternly stated that no one was allowed to accept interviews!
