165. All-Star Weekend 2
Liu Ren was taken aback, when did Chen Hanni's chick appear? He thought to himself that his lustful eyes just now were definitely seen by the chick!
Sure enough, Chen Hanni stood on tiptoe as close to Liu Ren's ear as possible and whispered with vinegar: "Big color-ghost." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”
"What's there, Nini's cooking is also delicious, look at it, the dessert I brought back to you is our all-star starting Thackeray superstar to entertain us, Xiao Ai, and Linda, Betty, you come and try it, I brought a lot of it back." Liu Ren hurriedly opened the big food box that he had knocked out from Thackeray.
At this time, little Lori happened to come over with her mother Monica.
Looking at a large number of beautiful-looking desserts, the eyes of a group of girls instantly lit up.
Desserts are really the best way to please girls, especially the ones that seem reluctant to eat.
Chen Hanni also gave up the opportunity to pull Liu Ren's pigtails and took her mobile phone to take pictures of those dim sums......
……
The rest time always flies so fast, Liu Ren teases Xiao Lori at home, and eats all kinds of delicacies made by Big Lori, Big Lori Xiao Ai is an authentic Japanese housewife, and what she is best at is making all kinds of food. Occasionally, Liu Ren would go to the company to see Chen Hanni's busy heroic appearance, and two days had passed in a flash, and she was about to go to New Orleans.
However, this time it is different from ordinary competitions, players can bring their families with them!
"Robert, you're going to play in the Rookie Challenge?" Liu Ren looked at him in surprise and asked.
"Yes, it's probably because the league saw that I was selected as an All-Star starter, and it was a little inappropriate not to be selected for the rookie game together." Thackeray had come out of the throes of being ripped off for three days in a row and was leaving New Orleans with joy.
All the names for the All-Star Weekend were decided on both days.
The All-Star Eastern Conference starters were led by this year's All-Star voting champion James, and the remaining four were Paul George, Carmelo Anthony, Kyrie Irving, and Dwyane Wade, who overtook in the final moments to retain the All-Star starting position.
The Western Conference All-Star starters were Jen Liu, Blake Griffin, Robert Thackeray, Kobe Bryant, and Stephen Curry.
The All-Star benches were voted out by the coaches on the 11th, and the Eastern Conference All-Star benches were: John Wall, Roy Hibbert, Joakim Noah, Paul Millsap, DeMar DeRozan, Chris Bosh, Joe Johnson, who were re-overtaken by Wade.
Western Conference All-Star benches are: James Harden, Chris Paul, Dirk Nowitzki, Damir Lillard, Radmarcus Aldridge, Kevin Durant, Tim Duncan.
In Liu Ren's memory, Anthony Davis, who was originally selected by the league's official alternate selection this year because of Kobe Bryant's injury, was not selected as an All-Star, and Thackeray's selection as an All-Star starter squeezed out a position in Liu Ren's memory, and the person who was squeezed down was Howard!
Liu Ren remembers that Howard should have been in the 14-15 season, that is, next season, and was considered by coaches not to reach the All-Star level, and this time he was removed from the All-Star by a year because of Thackeray's relationship.
Just looking at the strength, Liu Ren feels that Howard is definitely still one of the strongest centers in the league where the interior line is declining, at least this year, Howard, who has worked hard to prove himself, is only a little worse than Noah and Hibbert before the All-Star weekend this season, but the coach also has personal emotions in choosing All-Stars.
Nowitzki is the only one who can be replaced by Howard, but Nowitzki has always been a pure player who is very popular with all coaches, and has never had a conflict with the coach, and Howard has almost broken up with all his coaches.
D'Antoni is very popular in the coaching world, Van Gundy is even more well-connected, and even several of his disciples have been NBA head coaches, Van Gundy is a veteran coach like Popovich, and both are disciples of the famous coach Larry Brown.
The All-Star rookie roster has nothing to do with Liu Ren, who is already in the third grade.
This year's All-Star has made a lot of reforms after the incoming president-to-be Adam Silva took over a lot of things, such as the All-Star voting from the media and professionals to select a few people from each team to let the fans vote, changing to the league where everyone can be voted on, which is the most important reason why Thackeray stepped on the big luck.
The Rookie Challenge was changed from the first and second graders to the retired celebrity to become coaches, and seven or eight players were selected from the first and second years to participate.
The two celebrity coaches this time are former Kings superpower forward Chris Webb and Nash's old buddy Grant Hill.
The members of the Webber team are: Lillard, Bradley Beal, Andre Draymont, Harrison Barnes, CJ McCollum, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Younas Valanciunas, Dion Vitesse and Pero Antich.
The members of the Hill team are: Anthony Davis, McCarvey, Tim Hardaway Jr., Trey Burke, Jared Sallinger, Mason Plumlee, Steven Adams, Kelly Olynyk, Robert Thackeray.
This time, the Lakers traveled to New Orleans with several people.
McCollum was also selected for the Rookie Challenge for his excellent performance and could participate in this annual event.
During the much-talked-about All-Star Weekend, Nick Young naturally wouldn't let go of such a good opportunity to flirt with his sister, and he also went to New Orleans together, even if he needed to pay for his own airfare and hotel.
After Liu Ren came to New Orleans, he began to get busy again, and he needed to attend several endorsement activities.
The first is Nike's sneaker press conference, Nike not only sells signed shoes, they also have a lot of sneakers that are not signature shoes to sell, and the biggest role of superstar signature shoes is not how many signature shoes fans of superstars buy, but to drive the sales of other shoes.
The most money made by these sneaker sponsors is not the signature shoes, but the ordinary casual shoes, after all, no one will wear a basketball shoe to the street when they are fine.
According to the news received from Chen Hanni, Liu Ren's signature shoes have entered the preparatory stage, and it is estimated that they will be launched by the time of next season.
Nike's sneaker launch was followed by the opening of Spalding Basketball's new store and an event at a restaurant where he was going to make a portrait and his first swing at a golf course......
On the first day of his arrival in New Orleans, Liu Ren received almost 4 million US dollars, and the reward of being selected as an All-Star Starter in Nike's bonus clause was also triggered. (To be continued.) )
