Chapter 149: All-Star Ends
Li Mojie pounded his chest excitedly after dunking.
"See, Lao Tzu's strength!"
This classic dunk completely ignited the atmosphere of the scene, and at the same time cheered up the stars.
In the course of the next game, the Eastern and Western Stars played an efficient attack.
When the whistle blew at the end of the first half, the Western Stars led the Eastern Stars by 13 points at 89:76.
At halftime, the two top scorers on the Western Stars' side were Durant's 22 points and Griffin's 20 points. On the Eastern Stars' side, Kyrie Irving scored 20 points.
In addition, today's game is halfway through and has already set a lot of history.
For example, the Western Stars scored 89 points in the half, the two teams scored a total of 165 points in the half, the two teams handed out 50 assists in the half, and the two teams shot 74 goals in the half.
If this trend continues, it is likely that a new scoring record will be set at the end of the game.
There are two previous All-Star Game scoring records, one not counting overtime, which was set at the 2012 Orlando All-Star Game, when the Western Stars scored 152 points, the Eastern Stars scored 149 points, and the two teams added a team to score 301 points.
Another overtime scoring record was set in 1987 at the Seattle All-Star Plug, where the Western Stars scored 154 points while the Eastern Stars scored 149 points, for a total of 303 points.
But just when everyone was playing, Li Mojie was replaced and was never sent to play again.
When the first half was over, the West played a little slack in the second half, and when they led 123-105 and then didn't score a point in four minutes, a rare occurrence in the All-Star Game. The East seized the opportunity and chased the score closer. With 1:04 left in the game, Anthony hit his eighth three-pointer to set an All-Star record and give the East a 159-155 lead. After that, Durant and Harden missed three consecutive three-pointers, the West lost the game, and the East ended a three-game losing streak against the West in the All-Star Game. Irving had 31 points, 14 assists and five rebounds, and he won the MVP trophy for his all-around performance. In the West, Durant had 38 points, 10 rebounds and six assists, and Griffin had 38 points and six rebounds. The two teams scored a total of 318 points in the game, setting a new All-Star single-game scoring record, up from 303 points in the 1987 All-Star Game. In addition, the two teams have scored a total of 135 goals, surpassing the 128 in 2007.
So far, the 2014 All-Star Game has come to a successful conclusion.
The full weekend is over, and after playing a full-star game, Lee is rushing to the Denver Plateau to take on the Nuggets on the road on February 18, 2014.
Originally, Hornacek wanted to take a break from Li Mojie in this game, after all, Li Mojie did not rest during the All-Star Weekend, but he was rejected by Li Mojie.
"During the All-Star Game, I didn't sweat, I'm very energetic now, let me play!" Li Mojie looked at Hornacek firmly at that time and said.
As a result, Li Mojie scored 34 points, 14 assists and 11 rebounds at the Nuggets' home court, and won the second triple-double in the regular season!
After the game, the Suns returned to Phoenix.
Early in the morning, Fleischer came to the door, "Mo Jie, what's the matter, you look unhappy!" ”
"Nothing!" Li Mojie calmly drank oatmeal porridge and said.
"He's still not happy about the All-Star Game!" Anella next to her said with a smile, she has been with Li Mojie for so long, and she knows very well what the temper of the person next to her is.
"No, didn't you win the All-Star Rookie MVP? Why are you still not happy! Fleihill picked up a piece of omelette and was surprised.
"It's not the rookie MVP, it's the main game, Mo Jie was replaced halfway, and he didn't play until the west lost to the east, he was very unhappy!" Anella explained.
"Hmph, I won't lose at all if I continue to play in that game, the players of the Western Army at that time are much stronger in the Eastern team, and then Durant and Griffin will lose, so it is impossible for me to replace any of them!" Li Mojie said indignantly.
"I know, I know very well about your strength, but after all, you are a rookie who has just entered the league, and Brooks, the coach of the Western team, is not the coach of your Suns, he is the coach of the Thunder, so how can he let you play for so long?" Fleischer explained with a smile.
"I know, of course I know these unspoken rules of the NBA, but I just don't want to." It is Li Mojie's most unwilling not to lose, but that he is ignored, when the Western Army is about to lose, Li Mojie asked to play, but was rejected by Brooks, which made Li Mojie's self-esteem, which was smooth sailing after crossing to the United States, suffered a huge blow.
"If I had Jordan's status, let alone Brooks, who would dare ignore my opinion?" Li Mojie bit his lip and said.
After hearing this, Fleihill said: "Then you have a long way to go, don't say anything, Jordan's salary in the 90s has reached 30 million US dollars, and now 20 years have passed, how many have reached his level?" ”
In 1986-87, the Chicago Bulls had 650718 home crowds, a net increase of 181492 from 1985-86 (when Jordan missed 34 games due to a leg injury) and a net 39% increase on the road. Thanks to Jordan's participation, the Chicago Bulls have become one of the highest-grossing clubs in the NBA. In addition, the revenue from tourism and souvenirs brought to the city of Chicago by Jordan has also increased by about 35%.
Before the Chicago Bulls won the NBA championship in 1989, Jordan earned $14.7 million. Of that, he earned $4 million in wages with the Chicago Bulls, and the rest came from advertising and sponsorships. Before he retired from the NBA in 1993 with two Olympic gold medals, three NBA championship rings, and three NBA Most Valuable Player honors, his annual income had reached $36 million, of which $4 million came from the Chicago Bulls' salary, and the rest came from advertising and sponsorships. After he joined the baseball team in 1994, his total income was $30 million, the baseball team's salary income was $10,000, and the advertising and other income was still about $30 million. Jordan made a comeback in 1995, and advertising revenue surged to $40 million. According to Forbes magazine, Michael Jordan, who has been ranked first among the top 10 highest-paid athletes in the world for a long time, has earned a total of $170 million since 1990.
"I believe in myself, if someone can do it, I can do it too!" Li Mojie said with a firm face.
"Well, yes, I believe it too!" Anella said with a little fan on her face, holding Li Mojie's hand.
"Uh, don't sprinkle dog food on me, okay?" Fleischer swallowed the food in his mouth and said: "I'm here for business, Mo Jayer, your value has increased again, the MVP of the rookie game, the rookie was selected as an All-Star starter, and now it seems that the best rookie in a few years must be that you are not running, the Suns can still enter the playoffs this year, and now there are countless companies that are optimistic about you, you have to choose!" ”
