Chapter 444 Dark Box Operation
It is not difficult for Barrett to play the whole game, and his crazy personal performance has also harvested many fans for him, especially the audience in China.

In the second stage of voting, Barrett successfully overtook Chris, and got his wish and came to the No.3 position.

However, the number of Chris votes behind him is very tight, especially since he recently led the team to a wave of victories. Of course, it is nothing compared to the Heat's 15-game winning streak, but for the Nets themselves and their fans, the three-game winning streak is enough to make them laugh for a while.

During the Nets' three-game winning streak, Chris scored 35.6 points, 8.8 rebounds and 7.4 assists. He was the first contributor to the team's winning streak. With this wave of three-game winning streak, the Nets ranked fifth in the Eastern Conference.

Surpassing Chris in the All-Star vote made Barrett feel particularly comfortable. Taking advantage of the halfway point of the schedule, he presented a pair of specially customized sneakers to each of the team. The sneakers given to Mu Chenfeng also used the red color that symbolizes the five-star red flag as the main color.

Generally, when the NBA schedule is halfway through, the half-time champion will be determined, that is, the team with the best record in the regular season. The Heat scored 41 wins and 36 losses in the first half of the 5 games, becoming the team with the best performance in the first half of the season.

The NBA All-Star Game will be held in Orlando one month later. James has surpassed 100 million votes in the second stage, successfully widening the gap with Wade, who is "addicted to rest". If he can still maintain this ranking before the All-Star Game, then this will be the fifth consecutive season for him to win the All-Star votes. Such a result is unprecedented.
Mu Chenfeng's votes increased by leaps and bounds, from 18th to 7th, on par with many top players in the league.

"Be sure to close the All-Star voting channel in China in advance." In the conference room, high-level officials of the US government are meeting with high-level officials of the NBA. They don't want to see players other than American players appear in the NBA All-Star Game starters. If possible, they don't even want him to appear.

Closing the voting channel in advance means that the audience in China will not be able to continue to exercise the right to vote after the channel is closed. Mu Chenfeng’s All-Star voting will also be frozen when the voting channel is closed. Now the All-Star voting has just entered the second stage, and there will be two stages of voting in the future. If it is closed at this time, Mu Chenfeng’s All-Star votes will also be fixed at 716253. Although Mu Chenfeng currently ranks seventh with this number of votes, after two stages, this number of votes is likely to be squeezed out of the top 24 Therefore, Mu Chenfeng will also miss the first All-Star in his career.

The NBA disagrees with the government’s opinion. After all, China is the NBA’s largest overseas market and has the largest number of fans in the world. If they are deprived of their right to vote, it will definitely affect the image of the NBA in the Chinese market, and even lead to unpredictable consequences.

However, the attitude of the government is very obvious. They want to freeze Mu Chenfeng's votes in the second stage and order the NBA to stop the subsequent voting in China.

After all, the NBA is just a league. Facing the coercion of conquest, the NBA had to bow its head, so the voting channel in China was closed before the start of the third stage of voting. Mu Chenfeng's All-Star voting plummeted in the third stage, with an increase of less than 1 votes in a week.

Since the All-Star voting adopts the principle that one account can only vote once, viewers who have voted before will not be able to continue voting.

The huge vote gap is unbelievable. Mu Chenfeng's All-Star ranking suddenly dropped to 23rd, only one step away from being squeezed out of the All-Star.

The U.S. government's conspiracy is about to succeed. Seeing Mu Chenfeng approaching the brink of being eliminated little by little, the officials all showed sinister and smug smiles on their faces.

In their view, controlling a player's future and career is something to be proud of.

The inability to exercise the right to vote made the audience in China very dissatisfied, and even exploded the NBA's official website directly across the border, causing the entire NBA's official website to be paralyzed for a full 24 hours.

"We underestimated the ability of the Chinese audience." The huge base of Chinese fans shocked the NBA, and they exploded the NBA's official website just by logging in.

Seeing that the votes of other players surpassed Mu Chenfeng one by one, the anger of the Chinese fans also reached its peak. They demanded that the NBA immediately open the voting channel in China, and demanded that the voting data of other players during this period be withdrawn. All the data returned to the ranking at the end of the second stage.

Of course, the alliance agreed with such an approach, but the government directly rejected it. They stated that they would not open the voting channel in China, nor would they withdraw the existing data. They even tampered with the existing voting results in a "secret operation", and Mu Chenfeng was directly squeezed out of the top 24.

In order to prevent Mu Chenfeng from becoming an All-Star, the U.S. government took great pains to exclude him abruptly. This kind of behavior made the anger of Chinese fans completely explode.

Suddenly, at 00:00 the next day, the voting channel in China was reopened. Chinese fans frantically loaded data for Mu Chenfeng, allowing him to return to the All-Star list. His ranking was even topped at one point, surpassing the original No.1 James by a full 1000 million votes.

"What's going on?" The sudden accident caught the government and the alliance off guard, and they immediately found out the reason.

It turned out that a hacker from China hacked the official website of the NBA at 23:59 the day before, and used the code to change the data in the background, so that Mu Chenfeng's votes were added by more than 1000 million votes, and he became No.1.

The staff of the government and the alliance tried to restore the data, but it was of no use. Mu Chenfeng's votes were still increasing at a rate of 10000 votes per minute.

With his way, he will also be used to his body!
The U.S. government used shady means to prevent Mu Chenfeng from being on the All-Star game, and Chinese fans used the same method to bring Mu Chenfeng back to the All-Star, and he was still the "voting king".

Seeing that the data was damaged and could not be recovered, the NBA announced overnight that the voting for the third stage would be terminated, and all the data would be restored to the results at the end of the second round. However, Mu Chenfeng's name disappeared from the seventh place.

The explanation given by the NBA is that this time was caused by Mu Chenfeng, so he was disqualified from the All-Star voting.This is clearly the government and the alliance's blame for Mu Chenfeng. This incident was originally a conspiracy arranged by the US authorities because they wanted to stop Mu Chenfeng.

Mu Chenfeng was very calm about this time. Although he was disqualified from being an All-Star, he saw what the Chinese audience did for him, which made him know that he was not alone, and there were countless fans behind him supporting him.
