Chapter 387: Kobe Bryant's Retirement Season (3/5)

"This is the first time in his career that he has been selected as an All-Star, and he is the shortest All-Star in NBA history, Isaiah Thomas!"

"This is the fourth All-Star in his career, and he's one of the best scorers in the league, James Harden!"

……

The players were introduced one by one, and Tang Shuai was getting closer and closer to the players' tunnel, and when he looked up, he could see the gorgeous lights outside the stadium and the sea of spectators, as well as the girls swaying left and right on the stage.

"This is his ninth NBA All-Star selection, from the Los Angeles Clippers, Chris Paul!"

Paul was the last player to be introduced off the bench, and by the time he was out, the All-Star benches were all introduced, leaving only the East and West starters in the tunnel.

Tang Shuai took a deep breath, but the introduction of the starters did not start immediately.

Before them, Drake Graham, who is also a famous Canadian singer in North America, walked out and gave a short rap introduction, separating the substitutes from the starters, and also stirring up the emotions of the audience.

"This is the second time he's been selected to the All-Star Game, Kevin ~~ Lowry!!"

The first to be introduced was Lowry, and the host deliberately elongated Lowry's name.

As soon as Lowry appeared, the cheers on the scene soared instantly, and the popularity of the home team was absolutely top-notch.

Lowry was followed by Leonard, and although his style of play and personality were positive and low-key, the cheers were obviously much higher than those of the previous substitutes.

After Leonard, George and Curry also appeared one after another, especially the prefix of Curry's appearance was particularly long. No. 1 jersey sales, overall champion. MVP, the cheers Curry received when he came out were absolutely explosive. In one fell swoop, it surpassed the decibel level when Lowry came out.

Undoubtedly, the first man in the league.

Tang Shuai couldn't help but take another deep breath at this time, it was his turn to play soon.

After Anthony, it is Tang Shuai.

"This is his first All-Star Game start, he is the MVP of the rookie game, he is the new three-point game champion, the new three-point game record holds, Don ~~ handsome!!"

When the host began to read out Tang Shuai's name, the scene suddenly burst into a burst of enthusiastic cheers, although it was only the first time to enter the All-Star. Although his strength is undoubtedly the weakest of all the starters, the wonderful performances of the previous two days have already earned him super popularity.

Tang Shuai walked out of the players' tunnel, and was unconsciously stunned when he went out, he didn't expect that he would receive so many cheers.

"Hey, Don, come over here." It wasn't until Anthony shouted at him that he came to his senses.

He hurriedly waved to the audience, and then stepped forward to give Anthony a hug.

This little episode caused a burst of laughter from the audience. However, the fans' faces were filled with more sincere smiles, and it was obvious that Tang Shuai's performance in the first two days was very popular with them.

It is also customary for players to be introduced through a narrow passage surrounded by spectators and then to the field. In order to give fans a chance to get in touch with the All-Stars.

When Tang Shuai went down, he clapped his hands with the audience who stretched out their hands on both sides.

He was also very excited at this time, when he used to watch the All-Star Game. Fantasizing about being one of those spectators and getting in touch with the all-star players you love. But now this wish has not come true, but he has become the one walking in the middle of the passage.

It's still a long way to go. By the time he arrived, James had already been introduced.

The cheers James received were also completely worthy of Curry, two of the league's most popular top superstars.

Tang Shuai walked to the players' team at this time, clapped his hands with his teammates one by one, and then stood at the end of the team.

At this moment, the host suddenly stopped.

When this period was blank, the scene was already full of cheers.

The next player to be introduced knows who it is without introduction, and it doesn't need any language to describe it, it has already won super popularity.

"He's one of the greatest players in history, he's been in the league for 20 seasons, this is his 18th season as an All-Star, and the last All-Star of his career, he's an MVP, a two-time FMVP, a four-time All-Star Game MVP, a five-time championship winner, he's one of the league's greatest outside scorers, he's Kobe Bryant~~ Bryant!"

With the introduction of the host, the cheers of the fans at the scene are getting higher and higher.

At the moment when Kobe's name was pronounced, Kobe waved his hand to the audience, and more than a dozen beams of fireworks burst out behind him in an instant, and the cheers of the audience completely exploded.

It was deafening and overwhelming, and it felt like the entire arena was shaking.

Tang Shuai stood on the court, listening to this cheer, he was already deeply shocked, this was higher than all the cheers he had heard since he entered the NBA, it was absolutely explosive, and he couldn't even hear what the host was saying.

Kobe Bryant's retirement season, any place where Kobe appears becomes different.

Until Kobe Bryant walked into the team, the cheers on the scene did not diminish in the slightest.

After introducing the players, all the players waved to the crowd and then walked back to their respective halves.

The Raptors cheerleaders followed the court, and the sexy and fiery cheerleaders presented a hot dance for all the fans at the scene.

Harmon gathered his starters together and Popovich prepared the tactical set-up for the game.

Tang Shuai stood in the innermost circle, listening to Popovich's tactical deployment.

Although it was an all-star game, the old man was still very serious.

Tang Shuai listened, and could clearly feel that the old man's old way, whether it was Kassel or Billups, was obviously not at the same level.

But just as he was listening to the tactics, he suddenly noticed a strange gaze.

The owner of the gaze is Westbrook, and that kind of look is very complicated, with a hint of unhappiness, a hint of unwillingness, and even a hint of anger.

For Wei Shao, Tang Shuai didn't know anything before entering the NBA, after all, the "Turtle" very performative style of play is easy to make people's blood rush, but after seeing Wei Shao's eyes at this time, he always felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

But he didn't say anything, he didn't see it at all, he replaced Wei Shao as an All-Star starter with the support of the fans, and it was normal to feel a little unhappy, not to mention that the other party was still the All-Star MVP last season.

After the cheerleaders' dance performance, the starters from both sides followed.

At this time, Westbrook's eyes became more and more resentful when he looked at Tang Shuai.

It was Durant and James who jumped the ball, and the smiles on their faces when they jumped the ball could not be stopped, and it could be seen that this was probably the first time they stood in the center circle to jump the ball after entering the NBA.

Referee Crawford threw the ball into the air, and the two sides jumped into the air, accompanied by a tsunami-like shout on the spot, and the All-Star Game officially began!

Durant, who is tall and has long arms, slapped the ball directly over James's head.

The Western troops were given the first opportunity to attack.

Tang Shuai's opposite is Lowry. (To be continued.) )
