Chapter 208: The Stars Are Gathering Just to Wait for You
Dallas, Feb. 13.
The All-Star Weekend will continue today at the American Airlines Center Stadium, and tomorrow's All-Star Game will be held at the home stadium of the NFL Dallas Cowboys.
Now Dallas regrets it a bit. If it had known that the slam dunk contest was getting so much attention, it would have held the slam dunk contest in that gymnasium that can accommodate 80,000 people.
The home court of the Mavericks is a bit small!
...
Lin Yi got up early today. His two pairs of "Reaper Generation" sneakers were actually delivered yesterday, but Lin Yi still decided to reveal the mystery of these two pairs of sneakers in the slam dunk contest.
I have to say that the LOGO designed by Nike this time is very beautiful.
Just when Lin Yi was trying these two pairs of sneakers, suddenly——
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for getting his own exclusive series of sneakers! The charm value of the host is +999!"
Lin Yi: "???"
What the hell is charm value?
It's a pity that Lin Yi didn't have time to study what this charm value is. He called his agent Zhong Muchen, and he was very useful tonight about these two pairs of sneakers.
...
Today's American Airlines Center is still overcrowded. NBA Commissioner David Stern also visited the scene in person. Stern didn't even bother to listen to his assistant report the ratings.
Because it is nothing more than the yield rate has been refreshed again.
What is there to be thankful for?
CCTV also sent a commentary team to the All-Star game today. Yu Jia, Zhang Weiping, and Yang Yi will be responsible for explaining today's All-Star game.
Yu Jia said with emotion: "Today is really a gathering of superstars from all walks of life in Dallas."
There are too many celebrities in the courtside seats to count...
That handsome uncle is David Beckham, the star of the Los Angeles Galaxy.
That tall beauty is the popular American singer Taylor Swift.
There is also Scarlett Johansson, whom Durant has always wanted to drink bath water.
See, the guy shaking someone's hand is "Old Hooligan" Michael Jordan.
And the one with rings all over his hands is Mr. Russell, Lord of the Rings.
The fat man in a suit and leather shoes may not know much about football because his name is Jerry West.
Kobe, who withdrew from the All-Star Game due to injury, also came to watch Lin Yi's dunk contest as scheduled. Lin Yi is his fan. As Lin Yi's idol, Kobe felt that he had to come and support Lin Yi.
On the sidelines, this year's Eastern Conference All-Stars are lined up on one side, and Western All-Stars are lined up on the other side...
Stars gathered in Dallas, don't get me wrong, today is not an awards show, today is just the day of the 2010 Dallas All-Star Weekend for skills, three-pointers, and dunk contests.
More than 19,000 fans at the scene can't wait!
They'll have to wait, though, because the main action is always at the end.
...
The first thing to do tonight is the Shooting Star project, an interesting shooting activity. Unfortunately, fans still thought that Shooting Star was fun before, but why does time pass so slowly today?
Hurry up and decide the champion, okay? We want to watch the slam dunk contest!
I don't know which fan started first, "We want to watch dunks! We want to watch Lin!"
The entire basketball arena was instantly filled with such voices, and Stern felt helpless about it, wondering if this was a good thing or a bad thing? ...Actually, to be honest, Stern is also quite afraid that the fans' expectations are too high. If they are disappointed later, they will be sprayed to death...
The championship of the shooting star project was won by the Texas United team of Beth Harmon, Kenny Smith and Nowitzki. After all, it was the home of the Mavericks. The home fans applauded the "old driver", but Nowitzki Just got my award...
"We want to watch the dunk! We want to watch Lin!"
"We want to watch the dunk! We want to watch Lin!"
here we go again!
The NBA stars sitting on the sidelines couldn't laugh or cry,
But to be honest, in fact, they also have the same idea as the fans.
"Would you like to eat something? Come back later?" James proposed to Wade.
"Stone Buddha" touched the head of Kidd who was sitting next to him, but unfortunately he was a little bald, and the hand didn't feel very good.
Kobe and Westbrook were communicating, "Russell, you have to shoot more decisively!"
"Turtle" nodded again and again! Is it because I am not decisive enough that I am not allowed?
Durant, who was sitting on the sidelines, was a little jealous of Lin Yi. It would be great if he could have such a high popularity. Why is he almost winning the scoring title this season, but still can't make the All-Star starter?
Even the final number of votes was still far away, and Durant just tried to say hello to Scarlett Johansson, but Scarlett just nodded politely and didn't want to talk to him too much, which made Durant Rand was frustrated.
...
After Shooting Star ended, it was the NBA Skills Challenge. This year's Skills Challenge invited the star of the Suns, Steve Nash. As a result, as soon as Nash went up, he easily won the championship.
When Nash won the award, he smiled as if to say: Young people, your basic skills are too poor.
Nash, who won the championship, sat directly on the side seat. Duncan moved a seat consciously, and then looked at Nash's flowing long hair with a kind face...
Next is the turn of the three-point contest. Curry also participated in this year's three-point contest, as well as Lin Yi's teammate Gallinari. Lin Yi himself did not choose to participate in the three-point contest because he had to save enough energy to go Make trouble in the dunk contest.
The three-point contest is still very exciting. Gallinari scored 13 points in the preliminaries and missed the final.
The elementary school student, your uncle, and the true core were shortlisted for the final of the three-point contest.
Curry missed the mark in the final, and Billups also performed poorly. Pierce only scored 17 points to win the championship.
When winning the award, Pierce said excitedly: "I have been working hard for this. The experience in 2002 has made me very sad. I hope I can regain my self-esteem."
In 2002, Pierce once participated in the three-point contest, but suffered a disastrous loss. This time, Pierce won the championship, and Pierce's dream has come true.
But just when Pierce held up the trophy in his hand and wanted to interact with the fans at the scene——
"We want to watch the dunk! We want to watch Lin!"
Pierce's old face turned dark and his soul faded, so can't you praise me?
Although I also really want to watch the dunk contest.
After participating in the three-point contest, the players didn't even bother to go back to the locker room. They sat directly on the floor beside the court. The place was taken by...
"It's finally coming!" Countless people thought in their hearts.
...
In Lin Yi's memory, the 2010 slam dunk contest was actually a very boring slam dunk contest. Nate Robinson's three slam dunk contest champions actually had some moisture in it.
Because of Lin Yi, history has changed. The four players who participated in the finals of the slam dunk contest this year are: Lin Yi, Gerald Wallace, DeRozan, and Shannon Brown.
Obviously he is also a battle-tested veteran, but for some reason, "Elvis" Gerald Wallace actually felt a little nervous.
coming!
When the four entered the arena one by one, the enthusiasm of the fans finally reached the climax of tonight!
Especially when Lin Yi played.
"LIN---YI!!"
It is no longer a question of envy or jealousy.
The entire stadium was like a volcanic eruption in an instant... Crazy fucking opened the door to crazy, crazy home!
Lin Yi felt a little surprised, it was just an appearance, but was there such a big movement?
Lin Yi didn't know that when he played, many fans had such an illusion: Lin Yi always feels extraordinarily handsome tonight!
Even Durant's goddess Scarlett Johansson screamed.
"Strange, I've seen so many handsome guys, but why do I think Lin is so handsome tonight?" Scarlett Johansson couldn't help cursing inwardly.
Taylor Swift was also very excited, she blew a kiss directly to her "best friend" Lin Yi.
Gallinari, who was sitting on the floor waiting to watch the slam dunk contest, opened his mouth wide. Isn't Lin Yi single? Hasn't Lin Yi never been in love? Why does he seem to be more popular with girls than himself?
Durant even wanted to raise his knife and go one-on-one with Lin Yi. He just went to say hello to Scarlett Johansson. Scarlett would ignore her, but Lin Yiren was just playing, Scarlett Johansson Immediately become a "nympho"?
Why?
After enjoying the cheers from the audience, Lin Yi also gave high fives to all the bosses sitting on the sidelines.
James patted him on the back, "GO! I haven't slept well all night waiting for your slam dunk contest!"
Wade's cheeks were still bulging: "Let's have a big fight, Lin!"
"Stone Buddha" was unsmiling, and took the opportunity to touch Lin Yi's head with a big hand, "The future is yours!"
Fuck!
Still can't escape the blessing from Duncan!
"Boss" Kobe looked at Lin Yi with a look of relief: "Come on! You are the heir of the Mamba spirit!"
Well, I, Zhang Tielin, may have a place in the "Dalaran Blacksmith Shop" in the future.
In addition, Lin Yi also saw Curry, Harden and others. After saying hello, Lin Yi obediently stood back in the center of the arena.
At this time, the on-site DJ also introduced the five judges of this year's dunk contest.
It's not the same as Lin Yi's memory.
Because the five judges are:
"Dr. J" Julius Erwin.
"Potato" Webb.
"The Essence of Human Cinema" Dominique Wilkins.
"Glider" Drexler.
"God's Left Hand" Mullin.
Boy, this lineup is a bit luxurious.
It seems that the NBA really takes this slam dunk contest very seriously.
"Director Zhang thinks how Lin Yi will buckle tonight?" CCTV, Yu Jia asked curiously.
"I don't know about that, haha, but Lin Yi said that he has a big move, so it must be extraordinary." Zhang Lili said.
"Actually, in the slam dunk contest, what big players fear the most is that their movements are not as elegant and agile as the small ones. Let's take a closer look today and see what kind of big move Lin Yi has prepared." Yang Yi said.
"Yes, you can see that these celebrities and superstars on the sidelines can't hold back their inner excitement." When Yu Jia was explaining, the warm-up of the four players in the American Airlines Center Arena was also over.
The first to appear was DeRozan.
As in Lin Yi's memory, he ran up from the baseline, then jumped up suddenly, and changed the back button of his crotch at the moment he was about to jump over the basket.
It's a pity that DeRozan's movements were not elegant enough, and he only scored 42 points in the end.
The second one was Shannon Brown. Shannon Brown invited a bunch of real elementary school students to help out. Unfortunately, he failed to dunk the original free throw line and turned around for a dunk. To 37 points.
The third person to appear on the stage is Gerald Wallace. This muscular fighter with excellent physical fitness contributed a very ordinary back-up folding dunk. No matter in terms of strength and height, it is far worse than the one made by Gordon in the future. , The judges only gave 38 points.
For a while, what Stern was most worried about came.
It seems that this slam dunk contest... is a bit boring!
The fans had great expectations, but what were the three dunks?
Not creative!
Not elegant!
Not good looking!
But everything disappeared with Lin Yi's appearance.
"LIN——YI!"
"LIN——YI!"
"LIN——YI!"
Everyone in the basketball arena stood up.
Yes, that's right, we didn't come to see others, we came to see Lin Yi!
Lin Yi said he has a big move!
What kind of big move will it be?
At this time, Stern was more nervous than Lin Yi.
"Come on! Little guy, success or failure depends on it!" Stern had already prayed to Lin Yi in his heart.
Just when Lin Yi was about to dunk, suddenly on the court, Lin Yi who was about to dunk...
