The 2015 All-Star Game was held in New York.

New York, once the center of American basketball, is now sinking in the NBA.

Li Liang once thought about whether he would go to New York one day to play and strive to win a championship in New York?

After thinking about it, forget it, this difficulty may be comparable to qualifying for the group stage of the Chinese men's football World Cup.

It's a bit hard.

This All-Star Weekend, like the previous ones, was divided into three days.

13, 14, 15 three days.

Starting with the Rookie Game Open Training on the 13th, the All-Star Player Interview, the NBA Masters Game, and the Rookie Challenge will follow.

Then to the three-point contest, slam dunk contest, skill challenge, and shooting star contest.

The final day was the Development League All-Star, All-Star Pre-Game Concert, and All-Star Game.

Basically, the league is to use every bit of value of the stars to the extreme.

Auditions, appearances, interviews, pre-game training, pre-game side events, and finally the official events, as well as various media, reporters, commentary, televises, fan events, and events surrounding the All-Star Weekend......

Li Liang, as the ticket king of this All-Star, is of course the primary target of the league.

Because there are the most fans who like him.

Therefore, after arriving in New York, Li Liang became an emotionless photo machine, a signature machine, and a mascot for community activities.

There are already a lot of Chinese in New York, and Chinese fans are unusually enthusiastic.

Li Liang has always been very good to the fans, and on the night he arrived in New York, he also participated in a large gathering of the Overseas Chinese Basketball Fans Association, and met many Chinese New Yorkers, including many good-looking beauties, but none of the contact information was left, and all of them were taken away by the agent.

After playing an emotionless humanoid machine for most of the day, it is difficult for Li Liang to have any great interest in the All-Star Game.

This all-star, Li Liang did not participate in any individual events, did not participate in the slam dunk contest, and did not participate in the skills contest.

Xiao Hua very much hopes that Li Liang can participate in the three-point contest and compete with Curry, Thompson and others again, and fans and the media are also very much looking forward to it.

But Li Liang refused, saying, "I'm not interested, I'll think about it when someone breaks my record." ”

In fact, Li Liang is lazy, the previous continuous games + tasks, and being punished at night, caused him to be really a little lacking in energy.

On the one hand, he wanted to have a good rest, and on the other hand, he didn't want to stop completing the task.

It's a bit tiring to participate in various competitions during the day and then do tasks at night.

If you just watch and play on the sidelines during the day, sleep or something, you will have more energy to deal with the old man Russell at night - that's right, Russell is on the mission, and he is about to torture Li Liang crazy.

Li Liang found that these old stars in the system were more difficult than the other.

Fraser used all kinds of props to choke Li Liang before, and now it is Russell's turn to educate Li Liang on the training ground.

Theoretically speaking, with Li Liang's current level of layups and dunks, he should not use a center of Russell's level to train.

It may be that the judgment of the system is not based on historical status, but according to the actual level, Russell is a team in the 60s after all.

Even so, Li Liang is still choked enough, Russell is very smart in the key system, and he is not the first person in history.

After more than a week of practice, Li Liang's [confrontation/dunk ability] barely improved from 20 points to 30 points.

That's a bit slow.

After all, Li Liang is no longer than when he first got the system, and the overall level has made great progress.

It's quite easy to do some basic tasks, competitions and training.

I didn't expect to suffer a loss here in Old Bill, and the teaching progress was quite slow.

This made Li Liang very unhappy.

Lao Tzu is about to play all the games of the Celtics in various periods in the system, and he is about to become the father of the Celtics.

You, old Bill, as the founder of the First Celtic Empire, can't you release water for me, just practice and help me improve my ability points, isn't it over?

However, as an NPC in the system, Bill Russell inherited the cold personality in reality and trained Li Liang extremely harshly.

On the evening of the 14th, at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, several individual events before the NBA main event will be played here.

This All-Star Game is jointly organized by the New York Knicks and the Brooklyn Nets.

The All-Star Game on the night of the 15th will be held at historic Madison Square Garden.

The rest of the previous events were held at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn.

Li Liang sat on the sidelines as a spectator and watched the progress of the individual events.

Among them, the Shooting Star Competition, without Li Liang's participation, was won by Bosh's team without any suspense.

If it weren't for Li Liang's miraculous performance to win the game last year, Bosh would have achieved three consecutive championships as a great shooting star and created the "Bosh Shooting Dynasty".

Because of Li Liang's existence, he has two crowns in three years, and he can only be a small court.

A skills challenge ensued, and the final championship was taken by little-known Rockets guard Patrick Beverley.

Suffice it to see, there is still quite a bit of chance in this skill challenge, and you can't say that Beverley is the best defender in the league, right?

Of course, the opponents who compete with him on the same stage are not bad, and it is basically a project without the participation of big-name stars.

In fact, the NBA's individual projects face such problems.

At the beginning, there were top stars in attendance.

For example, the slam dunk contest, the three-point contest, Dr. J, Jordan, Kobe, Bird, etc.

The same is true for the skills competition, which started with Kidd, Payton, Nash, Davis, Wade, Paul and so on.

But as time went on, these individual competitions increasingly became a battleground for unknown players in the league to raise their profile.

The willingness of top stars to participate is getting weaker and weaker, for example, James has been rumored to participate in the slam dunk contest, and as long as he participates, the ratings and impact of the dunk contest will definitely skyrocket, but now that he has been in the league for more than ten years, he still has not moved, and it is estimated that he will not participate - unless Li Liang really participates.

Like the three-point contest, the three-point shot has risen in the past two years, and there are still some superstars who participate.

The Skills Challenge, which is not much to watch and is already a little stiff, will only have fewer and fewer stars participating.

This year has come to a low point, and the biggest players in the tournament are the Wizards' John Wall and the Bulls' Jimmy Butler.

As a result, both men withdrew from the game for personal reasons, with Beverley and Schroder coming in place.

Beverley, who replaced the game, won the championship.

It's a great honor for Beverley, the equivalent of a wildcard player winning the championship.

But from a commercial point of view, well, not commercially.

The real attraction is still in the three-point contest.

Although Li Liang did not participate in this three-point competition, it was also star-studded.

Some of the league's best three-pointers have all signed up lately.

Warriors' Splash Brothers, Irving, JJ Redick, Korver, Harden, Matthews and more.

It was the Warriors' Splash Brothers and Kyrie Irving who made it to the finals through the preliminaries.

This year's three-point contest scoring has changed compared to the past.

In the case of five balls per point, four normal balls, and one flower ball, it is stipulated that each player can choose one point and all the flower balls are arranged.

In this way, players can place five flower balls at the spot they think they are best at, adding to the drama of the game.

Of course, this is nothing more than an official assumption to add to the drama.

If you can't make it, there's nothing dramatic.

In the end, Curry, the popular fried chicken this season, won the championship with a performance of 27 points in the final.

This score surpassed Li Liang's record of 26 points in the three-point contest.

However, Curry's total score this time is 34 points, compared to the previous total of 30 points.

Therefore, Curry's goals are still not as good as Li Liang's.

After the three-point contest, the reporter interviewed Li Liang and asked Li Liang how many points he could get.

Li Liang said unashamedly, "It's definitely 30 points, just put the flower balls in the bottom left corner." ”

In an interview with the champion, Curry said, "I won the championship, but I hope that some people will be brave enough to accept the challenge next time." ”

Of course, these words were aimed at Li Liang.

Li Liang thought to himself, if you have the ability to participate in the slam dunk contest together next time, if you can enter the finals, even if you win, the Lao Tzu FMVP trophy can be divided into one for you to play.

After the three-point contest, it was finally time for the slam dunk contest.
