The dunk contest is over, and the All-Star Weekend is halfway over.

The rest is dinner, which will be the All-Star Game at the Toyota Center on February 17.

For Li Liang, everything ahead, including the three-point contest, is just an appetizer.

The All-Star Game is the stage for his performance.

Now there are still a lot of voices in the outside world that it is unfair for Li Liang to get an All-Star starter.

He could already predict that when TN-T commented on the game, O'Neal, the dead fat man, would definitely take Yao Ming's story and bring up the old story again.

This all-star game is being held in Houston again, Boss Yao's home stadium, and this topic will not be let go by any media.

If Li Liang didn't come up with something, how could he keep these people shut up?

A three-point championship is enough to prove that Li Liang is indeed talented in some aspects.

He has the potential to be a star, so it's not a big deal to be an all-star.

In the future, the Lakers' starting lineup will no longer be "one shot and four stars", but "five-star Lakers!" ”

During the day, Li Liang was invited by Yao Ming to play in Houston for a whole day.

For Li Liang's magical performance in the three-point competition, Boss Yao was full of praise.

"If you play in the national team, I don't think anyone in Asia will be your opponent. Why haven't I heard of you before? “

Yao Ming mentioned the national team, and expressed curiosity about Li Liang's details.

In the past, China's best basketball players were all trained within the system, including Yao Ming himself.

In the past two years, some Chinese basketball players have wanted to follow the NCAA route, but they have not succeeded.

Li Liang can be regarded as a sudden uprising, and he suddenly appeared, startling everyone.

Li Liang has been asked this kind of question countless times, and he has his own set of arguments to fool Yao Ming.

As for the issue of the national team, Li Liang said: "When you become the chairman of the Basketball Association, I will definitely play for the country." ”

Regarding the national team, Li Liang has seriously thought about it, and if the country needs it, he will definitely play for the country.

It's just that an athlete like him, who has never played in the system in the past and has not been trained by the system, is unprecedented to participate in the national team.

So, there will definitely be all sorts of questions.

Li Liang's attitude is that if you invite me to go, I will definitely go, and I will not take the initiative if I don't mention it.

Improving his strength and achieving his goals in the NBA is Li Liang's ultimate goal.

and Yao Ming's words, Li Liang just said it casually, but he didn't expect Yao Ming to take his words to heart.

……

In the evening, it was getting dark in Houston, and inside the Toyota Center, the All-Star Game was about to begin.

TN-T broadcasts live the annual basketball entertainment extravaganza.

In addition to the hosts, TN-T appeared in the Four Heavenly Kings, O'Neal, Barkley, Kenny Smith, Chris Webb.

The "half-ton combination" of Barkley and O'Neal began to bicker again before the game.

The host mentioned Kobe Bryant, who was selected as an All-Star for the 14th time and started the NBA.

It is enough to see Kobe's super popularity in the NBA.

Barkley pointed out that at the beginning of the Lakers, Kobe Bryant was the popular responsibility of the Lakers, and without Kobe, the Lakers would not have so many fans only on O'Neal.

O'Neal, of course, was not convinced, claiming that when he was in Los Angeles, he was a real sports entertainment star, and he was the best fit for Hollywood.

And Kobe Bryant is not very Hollywood in terms of personality, he is a Philadelphian.

Barkley said: "Your jerseys, shoes, and popularity are not as good as Kobe, maybe not even Bruce Lee." Oh yes, you're the weight bearer of Los Angeles. ”

Barkley is also embarrassed to say that others are burdened......

After yesterday's three-point contest, Li Liang's popularity has risen again and again, and even his stock with Under Armour has also risen.

His influence is getting bigger and bigger, and even Barkley has used Li Liang to suppress O'Neal.

O'Neal didn't retort, but held out four fingers and shook them in front of Barkley.

None of the others spoke, just laughed, and Barkley could only laugh and shake his head helplessly.

Because O'Neill meant, "I've got four championships, what about you?" ”

This is Barkley's eternal scar, and O'Neal is merciless in revealing Barkley's scar.

With this topic over, the All-Star Game is about to begin.

Highlights from past All-Star games were shown on TV, with TN-T conducting pre-game interviews with Kevin Durant and Carmelo Anthony.

By 7:30 p.m., the lights dimmed.

The opening scene is a performance by the famous rapper Ne-Yo, and basketball and rap are almost a natural pair.

But this only started when black streetball culture entered the NBA, and in the early years of the NBA, college basketball and the streets were incompatible.

In recent years, the NBA has re-taken the middle-class route, with a dress code and zero tolerance, in order to eliminate the excessive invasion of hip-hop street culture into the NBA.

Therefore, NBA reporters are constantly poisonous and merciless to Ne-Yo's rap.

Lakers reporter Gray Lee said: "The girls on stage were twitching, I don't know if it was because of the lights, or because of Ne-Yo's singing. ”

Johnson, a reporter for KCJHoop, said: "Ne-Yo is testing my bottom line. ”

Sean Huggins threw out a sentence directly: "Save us, save the children!" ”

American media reporters are so ruthless, and their psychological quality is not strong, and they cannot be public figures.

Li Liang will inevitably encounter some poisonous snakes, but yesterday's three-point rain shut everyone up.

If you're good enough, no one will dare to tease you, because that's self-inflicted.

After the cabaret performance, the all-star players entered the ceremony and walked out of a passage one by one, like a catwalk.

The first to appear was the Eastern Conference All-Star bench, Noah, Chandler, and others walked out in turn, waving to the fans in the white air that spewed out.

This dry ice sprayed like the Jade Emperor Heavenly Court.

Then the Eastern Conference All-Star starters were different, and they were raised from below with a lift.

The first is Chris Bosh, who relies on the length of his neck and manages to enter the ranks of frontcourt players.

The second is Kevin Garnett, who has been high in popularity despite his age.

There's no way, beating your chest and stoning, and roaring with iron and blood, it's still very fan-attracting.

The third is Dwayne Wade, who has a cheek raiser that is getting bigger.

The fourth is Anthony, this year's Anthony has a chance to impact the MVP, depending on whether the Knicks are strong in the future.

Needless to say, the fifth, of course, is LeBron James, who just won the championship and the head of the Heat's Big Three.

When it was the turn of the Western All-Stars, Ne-Yo came out and sang another song, which was even worse than the previous one.

The first song has an electronic music base, plus the dance performance is good, so I can barely listen to it.

In the second song, Ne-Yo's throat feels like a reed is stuffed, and he can't spit it out or swallow it, and the tone is not sharp, thick or thick, and he hangs in mid-air and doesn't go up or down in one breath.

The song itself is even more featureless, the most ordinary dance music, the most ordinary lyrics, and the live sound effect is so bad that it explodes.

During this time, Li Liang was walking to the bottom of the lifting platform and preparing to appear on the stage, when he heard the singing above, he was about to explode.

What kind of song is this, NBA All-Stars, singing incomprehensibly, it's hard for the fans below to sway along.

This Nima is all childcare, right?

It's better to ask Jay Chou to sing a nunchuck.

It was easy to get through the song, and the Western Conference All-Star players appeared.

David Lee, Westbrook, James Harden and others emerged from the tunnel.

It's foggy again, as if the Queen Mother opened a peach meeting.

When it came to the starting lineup, the first one to appear was Kevin Durant.

He pouted a little coyly and waved to the fans.

Durant has evolved again this season, but he still looks like a big boy.

The second one to appear is Li Liang!

When Li Liang's image appeared on the big screen, the audience cheered.

Because of Yao Ming's relationship, there are many Chinese fans in Houston.

Li Liang was selected as an All-Star in Houston this time, and many Chinese fans came to the scene to watch the game.

So the cheers were particularly explosive, several notches louder than James appeared before.

Only when James Harden appeared just now, he could be slightly quieter than the current voice.

Li Liang slowly walked out of the elevator, and the cheers became louder and louder, which was deafening.

Barkley said: "It's hard to imagine that this kid is so popular right now. ”

O'Neill said: "Because he is a newcomer, he is still a Chinese, and now everyone loves him." But I'm betting on you, in a few seasons, if he wins a championship and grows into a real star, the people who love him and hate him will be half and half and half people. If he had been an ordinary player, the number of people who loved him would have gradually decreased, depending on his performance on the field. ”

O'Neal's words are very realistic, many rookies have just entered the league and shown their talent, and fans will like him and like that freshness.

Once the novelty wears off, if you grow into a superstar, the fans of other teams will slowly hate you because you will beat their team.

If you don't know everyone, then naturally everyone will forget about you.

Subsequently, Howard, Chris Paul, and Kobe Bryant appeared in turn.

Kobe Bryant's popularity is still undiscriminately high, and Houston is no exception.

At the end of the appearance ceremony, Ne-Yo sang another song...... Hard work Houston fans.

After the national anthem, the main competition is finally about to start, and there is no need to sing anymore.

Before the game, Chris Paul and Dwayne Wade expressed their gratitude on behalf of the East and West All-Stars, like Houston fans.

The referee appears, and the players from both sides appear.

The head coach of the East is Heat coach Spo, while the West ... Mike Brown!

Before the game started, Li Liang stood next to Mike Brown and whispered to him: "Mike, don't replace me first, let me play a little longer!" ”

Mike Brown pushed his glasses and said, "I'm a fair coach. ”

The two exchanged glances, understood each other's meaning, and OK.

Li Liang can play well.

He said silently, "Black Pearl's top hat!" ”
