New Orleans was originally a beautiful city, but due to its special geographical location, it has been hit by hurricanes this year, especially on August 29, 2005, when Category 5 Hurricane Katrina made landfall in the town of St. Bernard in southeastern Louisiana.

This small hurricane that was supposed to land in Florida caught everyone off guard, made a big detour from Florida, and quickly strengthened to a level 5 in the Gulf of Mexico, hitting many New Orleans who were still unknown, the lake embankment that had been in disrepair for a long time collapsed in the shock of the hurricane, the Pontchartrain Lake in the north of the city poured into the bowl-shaped city of New Orleans, many people who had no time to evacuate due to poverty were trapped in the river, the communication system between the New Orleans area and the outside world was completely paralyzed, and the basic living materials were exhausted. For a time, the situation got out of control, riots, looting, fleeing, panic enveloped the city, and the tragic scene of the end of the world was widely broadcast by the television media.

In this catastrophe, New Orleans, Louisiana, was the most devastating, with the highest death toll of all affected areas, with a total of 1,577 dead and 705 missing according to incomplete statistics.

Hurricane Katrina caused more than $81 billion in total damage, the highest in the history of the United States, until today, four years later, most of the worst-hit and poorest Ninth District in New Orleans is still in ruins, and the road to recovery is difficult, and the NBA League is to revive the economy here, the All-Star Game is set up here in the New Orleans Arena, hoping to restore the glory of this troubled small city through basketball and All-Star charm.

Before the start of the All-Star Game, there are two round tables, one is the press conference held externally, and the other is the internal meeting of the stars, which is not interesting to the outside world, but those big bowls make promises and bold words on the TV, and at the same time, it is also objective to let others see who is more famous from who is surrounded by more reporters, but the internal meeting that outsiders don't know is very important, just to discuss the matter of sharing the cake, such as who wants to get a high score this year and who wants to win MVP or something, Basically, the cake is divided in this meeting.

My Neighbor Totoro is an All-Star starter, and he was naturally invited to participate in this meeting, and to this day, there are many black players who hate him, but those who have played against him have basically recognized his strength, and as long as he has a level, he will be respected as long as he has a level, whether he can be a friend is one thing, and whether he can qualify is another thing.

The first press conference was held at a Sheraton hotel in New Orleans, Totoro and Yao Ming arrived here was already overcrowded, Kobe Bryant and James's global appeal was not casually talked, the two of them were almost surrounded by reporters, in addition to them, the second most popular is Chris Paul, as the host of this All-Star game, the queen bee has also received a lot of attention!

My Neighbor Totoro came to the table with his name written on it and sat down, and just as he was about to take a sip of the tea on the table, a large group of reporters who looked like sharks smelling blood hula surrounded him.

"Hold the grass! What is the situation! ”

Totoro, who was completely unprepared, was a little dumbfounded, he had carefully analyzed the situation before he came, and felt that although he performed well, his popularity should not be high enough to compete with orangutans and little black snakes, after all, this is a solid foundation laid by people in the league for 5,6 years or even decades, and he is just a fledgling, and the devil knows if he will fall in everyone's field of vision as quickly as a meteor, there are too many examples of this in the NBA.

But now through the facts, he still underestimated his fame.

"Mr. Totoro, I'm a reporter for the New Orleans Truth-Telling, and this is your first season and your first All-Star event, how do you feel right now?"

A heroic female reporter broke through the encirclement, forced back the other big men with elbows, and handed the microphone to Totoro first.

"Uh........ Actually, I'm not very nervous right now. ”

My neighbor totoro said this, but a few drops of cold sweat had already flowed down the back of his neck.

Bu Jiai, as My Neighbor Totoro's royal agent, long before Totoro came to New Orleans, she had already prepared a complete draft for him that had been changed I don't know how many times, which was enough to deal with all kinds of emergencies, but the uncaring Totoro didn't read it carefully at all, just casually looked at it a few times to deal with it, and now it's not fun, everything has to rely on his own improvisation.

However, Totoro didn't really can't say a word, compared with those stars who only have a high school or even junior high school education, Totoro was also a graduate of a legitimate Chinese university in his previous life, and his general social skills and vocabulary are still not a problem.

"In my opinion, the All-Star Game is a stage for the stars to give back to the fans, and it is also a stage for the players to relax, so I didn't get nervous, I came here with a relaxed mindset, and I will give my best performance to the fans and at the same time give the citizens of New Orleans who have been devastated by the hurricane a little help in any way I can."

"Bang Bang!"

The reporters burst into applause, they applauded Totoro's last words, the All-Star Game was meant to help the refugees, but few stars would go out of their way to click on it when they visited.

"Hello Mr. Totoro, I'm a reporter for the Basketball Herald, you can play in the All-Star Game in your first season as a rookie, and you are the first player in NBA history to participate in the Rookie Challenge, Three-Point Contest, Slam Dunk Contest and the main game in an All-Star Game at the same time, do you have anything to say about that?"

The second one to appear was a male reporter with an Asian face, who asked questions with pride written all over his face, and at the same time deliberately bit the words "first in history" very hard, and that kind of smug appearance suddenly made the American reporter next to him a little unhappy.

This is a naked recruitment of Totoro, but Totoro himself does not care, Chinese have suffered a lot of discrimination in the United States, and have been oppressed and excluded in basketball, his dream of entering the NBA is to smash all this, and now what is the point of being proud?

"I'm honoured and a little ecstatic because it's an affirmation from the fans and the league, and for me, the only thing I can do is give the best of me back to the fans in the game."

"Mr. Totoro, according to you, you are well prepared and will definitely be able to compete in these events?"

An American male reporter on the side interjected very rudely, and the alliance press officer who was following Totoro frowned and wanted to step forward to stop the other party's speech, but he was stopped by Totoro waving his hand.

"I dare to vouch for the All-Star Game and the Rookie Challenge, but I can make a promise to you here for the slam dunk contest and the three-point contest in the individual event, this year's new class slam dunk king and three-point king must be me, and you can let hundreds of thousands of fans who are now watching the live broadcast in front of the screen witness it together."

My Neighbor Totoro's words made all the reporters around stunned, My Neighbor Totoro's words are too crazy, what does he rely on, can he make him so angry, he can say this kind of thing in public before the game starts, will he definitely be able to defeat others?

You must know that you can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense, Totoro has such a status in the first season, it is not easy to come by, it is all by his goal by goal, but it is very simple for him to make these useless efforts, just put two big words in front of the media and fans that he can't do.

Although if he succeeds, his fame will rise accordingly, and he will soon be right, this kind of thing has both gains and losses, and he will not do things that are not proportional to income and risk.

"Is there anything else you'd like to ask? Eat without me. ”

My Neighbor Totoro's two sentences stunned the reporter speechless, but those veteran reporters quickly reacted, this kind of player who likes to make a big deal is the player they want to visit the most, this kind of person is not lacking in explosive news topics, they don't have to think about how to process it after they get it, it's really their "good friend"!

It's just that they didn't think of anything for a while, and there were any questions related to the All-Star event to ask Totoro, and it seemed that the other party had finished all the topics that might include All-Star in the first two sentences.

"Well, I heard that the famous Hollywood director Spielberg wants you to play the male lead in a magic drama, what do you think about this matter?"

Seeing that the impatient press officer was about to open his mouth to announce the end of the visit, the impatient sports reporters had to use this kind of lace news to stall for time.

"Well, I personally don't mind acting in movies, you must know that Jordan, the god of basketball, has also starred in movies after becoming famous, but now my main job is basketball, so I plan to think about other things after the NBA has achieved corresponding achievements."

My Neighbor Totoro smiled slightly, and immediately blushed the group of female reporters around him.

My Neighbor Totoro is lucky, the 2konlie fabricated person he crossed over looks good, although there is no kind of demonic beauty that is amazing at first sight, but the face of the knife and sword is angular, with the height and body shape There is a masculine beauty of a man, soft eyebrows, a very clever nose and deep eyes, but it gives people a taste of a melancholy and cold male god, this beauty of combining rigidity and softness, is really durable and eaten.

He has long been the representative of the league's appearance, and he is also the closest star to male fans and female fans among all NBA stars, 80% of women are first for Totoro and then for his skills, which means that they like Totoro's face and then like the sport of basketball, from this aspect, Totoro has made a large contribution to the basketball industry.

"Then how many girlfriends do you have now, according to rumors, you are very close to the now popular singer Taylor Swift, but another newspaper photographed you have a good relationship with a blonde beauty named Ivy, and recently you took a dark-haired woman to openly sit on the team's charter plane, what do you have to say about this?"

Another reporter asked a question unrelated to basketball in a vain attempt to delay time, but he was a bit of a fool on this question.

"I'm sorry, these are my good friends, and this is a question of my private life, please forgive me for refusing to answer, but which sports newspaper are you a reporter for? Or are you the paparazzi of gossip magazines? ”

My Neighbor Totoro's face sank, he usually hates people asking him about Lufa, Ivy and a few of them, and now the United States still stipulates monogamy, if the matter of his multiple girlfriends is exposed, he may be denounced as a scumbag by many well-fed people, even if it doesn't have much impact on him, but Totoro still feels that one less troublesome thing can be one.

"So, Mr. Totoro, what is your favorite thing to do in your daily life.......

"Mr. Totoro, what's your favorite dish?"

"Alright, that's the end of the interview, if you don't have anything else to do, please leave!"

Those reporters were still ready to die and struggle, but they couldn't even listen to the press officer next to them, so they forcibly interjected to end the reporters' visits, and asked these reporters whose professional quality was not up to par at all to pack up their baggage and get out.

The whole public reception only lasted half an hour, and later said that it was time for the players' private meals, Totoro Da Yao and a brother sat at a table as a player, Kobe Bryant brought his sister-in-law over to share the table, and a few minutes later Wade and his little brother Beasley also came to join in the fun, and finally Zhan Huang and Paul also sat down and left, and Totoro's table instantly became the most lively place in the entire hotel.

"I heard you've booked the slam dunk contest winner? You're not kidding me, are you? ”

Beasley, who originally looked like a hooligan ruffian, said with his nostrils facing the sky, and I don't know if it's the butterfly effect of Totoro's crossing this year, and the CBA celebrities who have never appeared in the dunk contest also participated in this year's dunk contest.

"That's right, I advise you to quit the competition, you can't win me, it's a waste of time for the two of us to go up, isn't it easier for me to win the championship directly?"

My Neighbor Totoro admitted it directly, and persuaded the other party to give up in a serious manner, Beasley said that he had never seen such a brazen person.

"Why are you so arrogant?"

"I'm not arrogant, I'm telling the truth, did you make a 720-degree dunk? Do you dunk to the free throw line? Those were all warm-up moves that I did in the regular season, and the dunks I prepared for the slam dunk contest were even better than that, do you think you can win? ”

.“ ............”

The CBA celebrity suddenly had nothing to refute, because he really couldn't do these actions, but he didn't know how, when Beasley saw Totoro's sincere eyes, Beasley said that he really wanted to beat the other party!
