Chapter 137 All-star voting begins

Ji Guomo's eyes lit up when he heard this. Since the beginning of the regular season, he has always experienced technical fouls or malicious fouls. If he is also picking up girls, buying a car, renting a house... these are all extremely expensive projects. With his salary, he bought a car and renting a house, he hasn't much left. If he has no other income, he will be unable to pay the fine.

"Dear Brian, don't breathe first, tell us what contract it is?"

"Speaking of this, these two contracts are thanks to the 'Century Battle' you created a few days ago. Maybe you don't know what this means yet? To put it simply, as the protagonists, you have followed this fight and become popular all over the world! To be honest, I think this fight will have a greater effect than what you got a triple pair or breaking the LBJ record."

Both of them looked very good, and Brian's excited voice continued to come from his phone: "Brother Fox, Aston Martin has offered you a three-year, $6 million endorsement contract, and they promised to provide you with three sports cars for free during the contract period. I think you will definitely like this."

When Ji Guomo was overjoyed when he heard this news, he had long been salivating at Artest and others' luxury sports cars. Even Taylor Swift recently changed to a Mercedes-Benz Sl500, which made him very embarrassed. But his salary was not as good as those guys. There were at least three or five taels of sports cars in his garage in his home, and he could drive it every day as he feels. He was a damn nouveau riche!

"Mr. Brian, I have long thought you are capable, what is the good news?"

"There is another good news, and they suddenly came to the door yesterday, and the goal is clear, and they designated Brother Panda to endorse him."

Ji Guochou was surprised and asked, "What contract is the one who wants to find me?"

Brian said: "It's Nokia mobile phones. They made a offer that I can't refuse. It costs 10 million US dollars in four years. Through this offer, we can see that Nokia is very sincere. They hope that you will endorse this world-renowned mobile phone brand."

Ji Guochou's expression became very strange when he heard this. He thought of the first time that he used Nokia's mobile phone to knock out Odom's two front teeth that day. This was one of the news that the media began to report yesterday. I think that Nokia should have taken the initiative to come to him because it was because of his favourite record.

"Don't worry, these two quotes have additional terms. If you win the 2007-2008 Rookie, both endorsements can be increased by 10%, the All-Star selection will be increased by 5%, the 3-point champion and the Slam Dunk Championship will be increased by 5%, and the playoffs will be increased by 5%. These are just some of these examples. I have added many similar terms to your contract. If you can complete half of them, you will get an extra 30% endorsement fee. So for the sake of the US dollar, you have to keep working hard, and I will look for other endorsement contracts to continue you, and what you have to do is to have a better performance on the court and give me more capital to bargain."

That night, the two brothers ended the call with their agents and were immersed in the excitement of obtaining endorsement contracts. After obtaining these two endorsement contracts, they finally no longer have to worry about money in a short period of time. At the same time, they can also have the confidence to continue bargaining with Nike and Adidas, and they have to make a big splash in the two sports giants.

On the same day, on the evening of December 19, the NBA officially announced the results of the first phase of the All-Star voting. Kevin Garnett ranked first in the league with an undisputed advantage, and LeBron James was slightly inferior to the limelight, ranking second in the East.

In the western region, Kobe and Yao Ming occupy the top two positions. As the media and fans expected, the Chinese twins ranked fifth and sixth in the western region. Another Chinese player, Yi Jianlian, also received 152,828 votes, ranking fifth in the Eastern Front.

There are more than 500 NBA players, not everyone is qualified to participate in the All-Star campaign. There are only 120 candidates per season, and the 30 league teams are submitted to the list. Four players in the Los Angeles Clippers are running, namely Ron Artest, James Percy, Ji Guohuo, and Ji Guoqiu.

In the past, on the 120 All-Star Candidate List every year, the NBA was very strict with the candidates for rookies, mainly depending on the rankings. By default, only the No. 1 pick and the No. 1 pick of the year, Tanhua could only become three of the 120 players. Whether they were the All-Stars depends on their personal fortunes.

However, this year's Trail Blazers No. 1 pick Oden is directly reimbursed, and Durant, the second-place winner, is naturally qualified to become a candidate. The twin brothers who have always occupied the top two rookies are naturally exceptional. They have unknowingly set another record and become the rookie player with the lowest draft pick in the NBA history of the 120-person campaign list.

The first phase of the vote results are the Eastern Overview:

The Celtics have outstanding record this season and have always been the leader of the league, which has made Garnett stand out in the vote battle, with his total votes of 616,690. Last season's vote leader LeBron James won 600,733.

The boss of the Eastern Conference center is undoubtedly Dwight Howard, who received 565,506 votes in support. Wade and Kidd played the lead role, who received 427,764 votes and 389,333 votes respectively.

In the second echelon, Bosh (213,983 votes) and Pierce (208,926 votes) ranked third and fourth in the forward line, but they were too far apart from James and could not pose a threat at all. Yi Jianlian ranked fifth with 152,828 votes.

The competition for the Eastern Conference defender is relatively suspense. Carter (338,051 votes) and Ray Allen (324,810) have not been completely left behind, while UAE teammate Michael Reed ranked seventh with 103,309 votes and basically withdraws from the starting competition.

Another center in the East, the "Big Shark" O'Neal, is no longer in the season, and the number of votes of 296,292 can only be "sighing to the monsters".

Next is the West. This year, Chinese twins joined the battle, just like two big bombs thrown into the Western interior, making the competition in the Western interior, which was already in a tragic situation even worse. In addition to the starting lineup between Duncan and the two of them, the impact caused by the Little Giants back then was no less than that.

Overview of the West: Since the competition in the West is more intense, the votes are relatively scattered. No one of them voted in the first stage has exceeded 500,000.

First of all, Kobe Bryant ranked first in the West with 498,716 votes, and McGrady followed closely with 423,141 votes.

Among the inside players, "Stone Buddha" received 435,059 votes and continued to lead the forward player. "Melon" Anthony, whose popularity soared, ranked behind Duncan, with his votes of 421,722.

Yao Ming's position in the Western Conference center is unbreakable, and the Little Giant's 493305 votes allowed him to firmly sit at the top of the Western Conference center.

The twin brothers who were regarded as shit-breakers by American fans, the two of them squeezed into the first echelon as expected. Ji Guomomiya ranked third in the Western Front with 415,980 votes, and his brother Ji Guoqiu followed closely behind, ranking fourth in the Western Front with 412,208 votes.

The Clippers reported the positions of the two men as power forwards and small forwards, deliberately avoiding the more popular Yao Ming.

If the two can still maintain the voting of three or four in the second and third stages, and even surpass Anthony Melon, it would be wonderful. One of the two will be the starting small forward of the Western Conference, recreating the scene of rookie Yao Ming defeating the peak O'Neal.

Chinese fans have already called on major forums to ask Rocket fans not to vote for Rumai, and strive to select the twin brothers and Yao Ming as the starting lineup at the same time. By then, the West will become the world of Chinese people. I'm excited to think about this scene!

Although the San Antonio Spurs fans are worried now, fearing that the Chinese vote that "many people are **" will squeeze out their Stone Buddhas from the start, compared to Duncan, who is currently safe, the most annoying thing now is the Denver Nuggets. The Clippers had previously competed for the eighth position in the Western Conference, but it hasn't been long since then, and now they are here to compete with their team's core for the starting small forward position. What kind of resentment?

The competition in the second-tier West also exceeds that in the Eastern Conference. In terms of defenders, Nash (396,493 votes) and Iverson (384,291 votes) will continue to put pressure on McGrady.

Nowitzki also maintains strong competitiveness. His (386,853 votes) cannot make Anthony and Duncan rest assured, but the same frustrating Germans are now only ranked fifth in the peak position. If this continues, King Nothing may be squeezed by the twins to the embarrassing level of guarding the water dispenser.

It is worth mentioning that the Clippers' two-dollar defensive champions, Artest and James Percy, ranked seventh in the Western Conference forward and fifth in the defender with 186,853 votes and 126,853 votes respectively, which is obviously due to the twin brothers.

The starting center position in the Western Conference lost its suspense due to Yao Ming's unique appearance. The Suns' Xiao S ranked second in the center with 303916, completely losing the qualification to compete with Yao Ming for the starter. However, the smart Phoenix made Xiao S become center, at least it firmly ensured that Stoudemire could play as a substitute, while Nowitzki, who had more votes than him, could only guard the water dispenser, which was the suppression of IQ.
