Chapter 1731 Messi is here
In fact, not only Chinese stars, but also American stars have been affected.
According to statistics, Wang Yi has more than 5 million fans in the United States alone.
And he also has four to five million sunspots.
As the saying goes, black and red are also red.
Adding up his fans and his followers, there are almost 100 million.
You know, the total population of the United States is only over 300 million.
So adding up the traffic of 100 million people, this is already very huge in the United States.
Therefore, as long as Wang Yi makes any big moves, the US network will inevitably cause a wave of ripples.
Most of the traffic is tilted towards him, while other celebrities can only watch helplessly from the side.
So now American stars have to check the NBA schedule before they want to cause trouble.
Let’s go back to Wang Yi’s press conference.
Seeing that no one came to ask him questions anymore, he said directly to everyone:
"Then see you next time."
After saying that, he stood up, turned around and walked out of the media room.
And just as he walked out of the media room, the beautiful publicist said to Wang Yi: "Wang, someone wants to see you."
Wang Yi frowned slightly when he heard this.
According to the procedure, after he attends the press conference, it is his private time.
No one likes to have their private time interrupted.
However, he did not refuse immediately, but asked: "Are you a young fan?"
NBA stars do one thing better - they are very friendly to children.
Even if they are in a bad mood after losing, if there are young fans who want to communicate with them, they will communicate with these young fans in a friendly manner.
That's why Randolph was grabbed by someone. He was a little annoyed at first, but when he turned around and saw that it was a child, he greeted the child enthusiastically.
When James was in a bad mood, he passed by the player tunnel and met a fan saying hello through the glass door. He didn't want to pay attention to it at first, but when he saw a child, he enthusiastically went over and gave the child a high-five through the door.
When Durant was on the sidelines, a young fan shouted "Kevin Durant" from behind. He turned around to communicate with the child.
From this aspect, the distance between CBA and NBA is still far away.
The PR beauty heard Wang Yi's question and shook her head:
"No, not a child."
Wang Yi shrugged apologetically to the beautiful woman: "Then I'm sorry, it's my private time now, I should go back and rest. As you can see, I'm really exhausted from 50 minutes tonight."
As he spoke, he made a face to the beautiful woman that was so tired that she stuck out her tongue.
The beautiful woman couldn't help but smile, but then she looked troubled: "But... he is Messi."
Wang Yi subconsciously said: "Messi has no chance either."
After saying that, he walked directly to the players tunnel.
But just after taking two steps, he suddenly reacted and turned back to ask the PR beauty: "Wait, who are you talking about?"
"Lionel Messi."
The beautiful publicist replied.
Wang Yi was suddenly surprised and raised his eyebrows: "Lio Messi?!"
The public relations person reflected for a moment before nodding: "Yes, that's him, the Messi who plays football."
Wang Yi immediately became excited: "Where is he? Take me there quickly!"
In fact, Wang Yi not only likes basketball, but also likes football.
The reason why I finally embarked on the path of basketball is because of my father’s influence.
And his love for football is actually almost the same as basketball.
He was born in 2000 and graduated from elementary school in 2012.
During the summer vacation of that year, Wang Yi was influenced by several elementary school classmates and began to play and watch football regularly.
And that year was also Messi's peak year.
This year, he scored 91 goals, which can be called the ceiling in the history of human football.
It was at that time that Wang Yi became a fan of Messi.
He wanted to visit Messi afterwards, but missed it due to various reasons.
However, he still watched Messi's retirement battle live in the summer of 2024.
Although Messi has retired for 6 years now, when Wang Yi thinks of football, Messi is still the first thing that comes to mind.
I didn't expect Messi to come to the All-Star Game today.
The beautiful publicist took Wang Yi to the dressing room.
At this time, most of the other players had left the locker room.
Wang Yi quickly came to the door of the locker room. When he opened the door, he saw Messi in front of the TV screen in the locker room, admiring the highlights of Wang Yi's game.
Six years after retiring, Messi has not gained any weight at all. Apparently he still maintains his fitness habit.
His beard is still so sexy.
Seeing Wang Yi's arrival, Messi showed a kind smile: "Wang has finally met you in person."
Wang Yi Wenyan also came over and hugged Messi.
He has been a fan of Messi since he was a child, and it is a rare feeling to be able to embrace his idol now.
Messi patted Wang Yi on the back and said with a smile: "Your performance is wonderful, it can even be said to be a miracle. You are probably the only person in the world who can hit a curve ball on the basketball court."
Originally, Messi was watching the All-Star Game in the box today.
He had no plans to meet any basketball superstars.
He retired for 6 years and slowly faded out of people's sight.
He also enjoys the feeling of not being taken seriously by others - for any celebrity, it is definitely a pleasure to be able to go to the supermarket comfortably without being recognized anytime and anywhere.
If he continues, he should slowly be able to go to the supermarket.
So he didn't plan to meet any NBA superstars when he came here today.
But until he saw Wang Yi's curve ball, he finally decided to come and see Wang Yi.
At this time, Messi asked Wang Yi: "Isn't it difficult to practice hitting a curve ball with your fist?"
Wang Yi nodded: "Of course."
Messi grabbed Wang Yi's hands and looked at them. He saw that the fists of Wang Yi's hands were still slightly red.
The skin on the back of the hand looks very rough.
Obviously this is the result of practicing fist hitting for a long time.
Messi nodded: "You can also hit a curve ball with your left hand."
Wang Yi smiled and said, "I was discovered by you."
Messi let go of Wang Yi's hand and patted Wang Yi on the shoulder.
Looking at Wang Yi's long hair, his eyes were filled with memories.
Wang Yi is full of himself from back then.
It was the 2006 World Cup in Germany. The 19-year-old Messi had just made his debut and had long hair.
He is also a man of style on the football field.
But now he has retired for 5 years.
Looking back, it all seems like just yesterday.
It's quite sad to think about it.
Wang Yi also knew that Messi was recalling the past.
He didn't bother him.
After a while, Messi seemed to come back to his senses:
"If you're not in a hurry, let's go have a late-night snack together? Do you have any delicious food you can recommend?"
Messi asked with a smile.
Wang Yi nodded: "Of course, let's go to Chinatown. We have a lot of Chinese delicacies."
