"Michael Wu's nationality is doubtful!"
"Changing nationality just to enter the NBA? What is Michael Wu doing?"
On the night when the Nets defeated the Mavericks, one piece of news about Wu Hyuk's nationality dominated the front pages of major news forums in the United States.
There have been discussions similar to Wu He's nationality on some forums in China before, but soon with Wu He's strong performance, these voices gradually disappeared, but this time, it is obviously not that simple!
Major news websites in the United States rushed to report on the issue of Wu Hyuk's nationality.
There is even a website that broke the news that Wu He once rejected the invitation of the CBA team in order to distance himself from China, and also rejected the invitation of the Chinese brand Anta to sign a contract at the highest level!
And there are people posting pictures, Anta contacted Wu He, at least a month before the news of Wu He's signing with Under Armor was released!
"A second-round rookie who just showed some performance, how could he refuse the highest-level endorsement contract of an international brand? There is absolutely no other possibility except to distance himself from China!"
On the Internet, related remarks broke out, and American netizens were divided into several factions.
One group of fans believes that Wu He's decision is not a problem, and there is nothing wrong with pursuing ideals.
Another faction of fans believed that Wu Hyuk's character was problematic, and some people even began to declare on the forum: Resolutely boycott Michael Wu's entry into the All-Star Game!
"This kind of player who sells his country and seeks glory will not be liked by any country!"
Not only in the United States, but also in China, this incident caused a huge sensation!
A group of fans who had angered Wu He in the previous revelation incident appeared again, criticizing Wu He on the forums and portals where they could speak out!
Coupled with the recent news that Wu Hyuk was in the forefront of the All-Star race and signed a contract with an American brand, everyone turned their attention to Wu Hyuk!
If Wu He is really this kind of person, then all these will be the black spots of his life, which cannot be washed away no matter what!
"How is public opinion now?"
In the American branch of Anta, Tang Gu, who was sitting on a chair, asked his subordinates who were always paying attention to the trend of online speech.
Knowing from Chen Siming that Wu He may have entered the NBA after changing his nationality, Tang Gu decided to use this to make a fuss. No matter how great a player's potential is, as long as there are enough black spots, a little trick will naturally make him irreparable!
What's more, Wu He really rejected Anta's invitation to sign, and Tang Gu learned of the fact that Wu He had rejected the invitation of the CBA team when he was eating and chatting with some domestic informants.
Even if there are deviations in time or the content of the event, as long as the event really exists, Tang Gu has the public relations ability to turn right and wrong into black and white!
Wu He, you let me lose my performance, and I will let you fall to the bottom!
"Michael, what exactly is this?"
In the locker room of the Nets, Larkin obviously found out after the matter had fermented at this time. Looking at Wu Hyuk, he was very worried.
As a player who has been in the NBA for many years, Larkin naturally knows how influential public opinion is in this era, or how strong the "destructive power" of public opinion is to players!
Not to mention that Wu Hyuk is just a rookie who has just entered the league. Even those NBA All-Star players are rarely able to retreat unscathed when faced with pressure from public opinion, and will inevitably be hurt!
"Michael!"
At this moment, other members of the Nets apparently also found out about the news, one by two surrounded Wu He, with indescribable anxiety on their faces.
What Larkin thought of, they could naturally think of it, they didn't want to see their team's rising star be crushed by public opinion before reaching the peak!
However, completely different from everyone's anxious look, Wu He touched his nose, very calm.
"Everyone, are you going to Clover tonight?" After a pause, Wu He looked at the teammates who surrounded him: "I'm treating you, you can play whatever you want."
"Michael, what are you talking about?"
It was Lopez who spoke, and he knew the power of online public opinion: "What do you do about this matter?"
"What's the matter?" Wu He asked back, and then smiled: "Hey, guys, can this count?"
"Do you have a solution?"
Singles Joe also joined in. He was the first one in the entire Nets team to be optimistic about Wu He. Although he looked at Wu He with a confident look at this time, he was still a little flustered.
"Huh?" Smiling again, Wu He glanced at his teammates and patted his chest: "Next game, give me the ball."
"and then?"
"And then there is no after."
Looking at his teammates who were covered in circles, Wu He tilted his neck: "Who will go to Clover at night?"
US time, December 12th, New York, Brooklyn, Barclays Center Arena!
Here, what was supposed to be the site of Nets fans has long been occupied by fans who don't know where they came from. Most of them held up the sign "Michael Wu, get out of the All-Star, get out of the NBA!" What's more, they wore the Nets' No. [-] jersey with no name on the back, and said some obscenities to Wu He!
"Viewers, we're at Barclays Center, home of the Brooklyn Nets"
At the scene, the game hadn't even started yet, and the reporter from TNT hadn't finished his opening remarks when his voice was suppressed by the fans in the auditorium who angrily scolded Wu Hyuk!
"I think it goes without saying that you've seen the fans' dissatisfaction with this year's draft pick Michael Wu, and their anger is written on their faces."
Immediately afterwards, the reporter randomly interviewed several fans at the scene. Not surprisingly, these fans spoke a lot of bad things about Wu Hyuk to the camera. There were almost all such fans at the scene. For Wu Hyuk, at this moment, Barclays Center became an away game!
"Look at how embarrassing this guy is, now this is our home field!"
The Washington Wizards player Gortat, who was playing away from home, sneered at the team point guard John Wall beside him while practicing the ball: "I really can't understand that such a player can still be in front of you in the All-Star voting."
"This time, it really shows its true shape!"
Wall also sneered and shook his head at the Nets.
For the Nets, head coach Hollins did not expect this situation. Originally, he told his superiors about the situation, whether it was necessary to freeze Wu Hyuk depending on the situation, and let Wu Hyuk come out after the public opinion passed.
But the above instructions are almost the same as Wu Hyuk's request before warming up today.
"Let Michael play, this is a great opportunity!"
Although Hollins didn't know what the opportunity mentioned above meant, he could only bite the bullet and continue to let Wu He start the game despite the boos from the audience!
Standing in the center of the court, Wu He waved his arms towards the audience in response to the boos all over the sky, as if to signal for the boos to be louder!
At the same time, he said to his teammates: "Guys, remember what I said before."
"Give me the ball!"
The second update is here, will the third update be far behind?The fourth and fifth updates are just behind!
Sapo rolls around begging for a reward!The number of rewards reached ten people today, and the fifth update will continue tomorrow! !
(A reward of one yuan is also considered!)
