Chapter Ninety-Eight: Comparing Hearts to Boys
"Huaxia Channel 5, Huaxia Channel 5, here is the scene of the 08 All-Star New Orleans Arena, I'm Yang Yi!"
"Today, I am honored to have Zhang Weiping and Coach Zhang to explain this All-Star Game with me!"
Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian were selected for the All-Star Game at the same time, setting a record for the number of Chinese players in NBA All-Star history, and China will naturally not miss this broadcast.
A commentary team was also sent to the scene to explain.
"Okay, from our commentary bench perspective, the Eastern Conference All-Star Players Appearance Ceremony has begun! The first to play was Jason Kidd......"
The No. 1 All-Star starting point in the East is Jason Kidd, and if history remains constant, this will be his last year as an All-Star starter, and it will also be his last game as a Nets.
After this All-Star weekend, Jason Kidd will be traded to the Mavericks, and the Nets will completely become a rotten Nets team, which will not be relieved until 2018......
As a veteran of the All-Star all year round, Jason Kidd appeared very relaxed, greeting the cheers from the audience with a faint smile.
The cheers were even higher after the second start in the East, when Dwyane Wade came on as the starting point guard in the East, and the cheers in the audience were noticeably louder!
The moment all the fans saw him, they instantly remembered the 06 finals, where he single-handedly reversed the unfavorable situation of 0-2 and successfully completed the counterattack!
This became the third Finals MVP in NBA history to lead the team to victory from 0-2 down!
Some people even called him "a man 5 centimeters shorter than God" for this series.
He also squeezed Kobe Bryant out at one point and became the best scoring guard after Jordan.
Of course, with the Heat's crushing loss in the playoffs in '07, Wade's popularity began to decline all the way, and that man was still the first man in the league.
The third Eastern Conference All-Star starter to appear was LeBron James, who received no less cheers than Wade, mainly because he put on an extreme individual show against the Eastern Conference Giants Pistons in Game 5 of last year's Eastern Conference Finals, scoring 25 points in the fourth quarter, almost by virtue of a single person, no, he just took the Cavaliers to the Finals.
After this battle, "Little Emperor" LeBron James officially ranked among the top five in the league.
From these two, it can be seen that if you want to become famous, you must play the classic masterpieces of your career, not in the regular season, but on the bigger stage of the playoffs!
The cheers plummeted when the next All-Star starter came up, and then turned into a massive boo.
"Hahahaha, this may be the first guy in NBA history to be booed for the first time in the All-Star Game!"
Barkley didn't talk about the live broadcast today, he came to the scene as a guest, sat with other celebrities, and his mouth was almost grinning to the root of his ears when he heard this boo.
can make him laugh so happily, you don't have to guess to know that it must be Yi Jianlian who is booed......
It's just that Yi Jianlian's expression didn't change, but the corners of his mouth rose, revealing a green smile, as if he heard not boos, but cheers.
"Wow~" Yang Yi and Zhang Weiping glanced at each other, the expressions of both of them were a little embarrassed, they really didn't expect that there would be so many people booing the UAE at the scene.
"I hope the UAE can ......"
"Huh?"
Zhang Weiping and Yang Yi on the on-site commentary platform watched Yi Jianlian's next actions, and the worry on their faces turned into astonishment, what is this?
The thumb and index finger of the left hand overlap each other, exposing the tips of the fingers, which seems to be ...... Love?
"The United Arab Emirates showed love to the audience?"
"Huh?" Yang Yi smiled, he reacted first, with a relaxed tone: "It seems that the United Arab Emirates is still in a good mood?" So many spectators were booing him, and he was still in the mood to make a gesture of love. ”
"Hahaha~"
The big screen was fixed on Yi Jianlian's body for a long time, so many viewers also saw Yi Jianlian's gestures clearly, and the boos suddenly became more than half smaller, and a lot of laughter came out of the audience.
This big Chinese boy is quite cute!
"Hahahaha, Yi, what kind of action are you? Hey, is that so? Walking to the bench, next to Michael Reid had not yet sat down, who was already there studying Yi Jianlian's gesture.
Not only him, but Wade next to him also glanced at him, as if waiting for his action to explain. No wonder, Saowe! Where would a man who dares to wear a pink jersey not like this kind of coquettish gesture?
Yi Jianlian unexpectedly had a common topic with Wade.
It didn't matter, and LeBron joined in...... was so happy, and even when it was time for both sides to warm up, Wade took the initiative to feed Yi Jianlian two balls, and then walked away with a smile.
"The UAE and Wade had a good time!"
Zhang Weiping and Yang Yi's eyes were naturally on Yi Jianlian and Yao Ming, and when they saw Yi Jianlian and Wade playing together, they couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "I didn't expect that the UAE's adaptability was better than Da Yao's original, I remember that Da Yao was nervous at that time!" It was Kobe Bryant who came over to tease him, and he relaxed a lot! ”
"yes!" Yang Yi sighed, he was sincere, to tell the truth, when those boos were made on the sidelines just now, he didn't know how to explain it, but it was Yi Jianlian, as the party concerned, who resolved the embarrassment with a small gesture.
Yi Jianlian has really grown up in the United States this time, not only in terms of performance on the field, but also in all aspects, and it can be seen that he can calmly face all emergencies.
"Hey, Charles, look, don't you learn like that? I just went looking for Easy Learning! Kenny Smith approached Barkley and showed him his work.
"Get out!" Barkley, who was smiling like a flower just now, now has his face down again.
Hey, it's getting harder and harder to serve every year after kissing the donkey's buttocks!
***
The '08 All-Star was a significant stroke in the history of the NBA.
If it weren't for Yi Jianlian's life like a dark horse, then the 03 golden generation of LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Carmelo Anthony and Chris Bosh would all start the All-Star East and West for the first time.
It can be said that the '08 All-Star Game was supposed to be the year when the '03 rookies officially entered the league's main stage.
It's a pity that this year, because of Yi Jianlian, Chris Bosh can only sit on the bench and watch several other "same periods" in 03 show their demeanor first.
Hey, I'm so envious~
