Chapter 209: Soy Sauce
The pinnacle of All-Star Weekend is undoubtedly the star-studded All-Star Game. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
This year's All-Star Game has already earned a lot of eyeballs, and the benefits of hosting such an event in an international metropolis as convenient as Toronto are definitely not comparable to those of a second-rate city. Crucially, Toronto is located in southern Canada, and it is unknown how many fans from the East have crossed the Pacific Ocean to watch the event.
After an exclusive interview with Dolores in the afternoon, night fell quietly.
The underground parking lot of the aviation center was full of all kinds of luxury cars, and when Li Dong drove in the sports car provided by the Star Committee, it turned out to be inconspicuous.
"Hey, my dear Lee, what a coincidence!"
When Li Dong took Xing Jinwen's hand and walked through the parking lot in Area C, he happened to meet Chris Paul and her girlfriend Jada Claude around the corner. Paul was also holding a little boy who was more than 5 years old beside him, who was his lovely son, who was staring at Li Dong with dark eyes at the moment, but he was not afraid of life at all.
"Hello, Chris, Hello, CP4!" Li Dong stretched out his big hand and forcibly shook hands with Paul's son.
"He looks so much like you, you are so happy!" Li Dong said in admiration.
Paul was very modest, but there was inevitably a hint of pride on his face, "Yes, this is the crystallization of my love with Jada!" ”
Li Dong nodded, "Don't worry, you will be there on time." ”
After greeting a few people here for a while, they walked into the elevator together, and then Xing Jinwen, Paul's girlfriend and his son, walked through the exclusive VIP passage and went directly to the scene. Li Dong and Paul made a bend and pushed open the door of their respective locker rooms.
……
The lights shine and the smoke clears, and the all-stars make their debut.
As a star in the East, this time the Toronto All-Star Game can play later, George, James, Li Dong, Wade and Lowry.
When it was Li Dong's turn to play, the cheers he received were no lower than those of the other four stars.
That's largely thanks to his astonishing performance on Saturday night yesterday, and he's been the talk of the town, at least in Los Angeles, and his popularity has skyrocketed.
24 All-Stars compete for the exclusive glory of All-Star Game MVP.
Maybe there are stars who just want to play soy sauce and go through the motions, such as Draymond Green, who entered the NBA Western All-Star for the first time, and Li Dong, who is already tired.
The song reverberates, and the melody is elegant, rapid, steady, or passionate.
On the stage, hip-hop performers are indispensable. Basketball is a kind of street culture, and hip-hop dance is in the same vein, Iverson brought street culture into the NBA, and in today's increasingly international NBA, it is still indispensable to promote rap, hip-hop, and freedom.
After the wonderful performance, it was the little diva Rihanna's singing, and the NBA stars were dazzled and salivated, and they were all impressed by the graceful posture.
Finally, there was the host's official opening remarks, and then Los Angeles fans were pleasantly surprised to find that their beloved Magic Johnson had already sat in the live broadcast position early, partnering Barkley and Smith to form the best commentary trio.
"Kobe Bryant should win the MVP of this year's All-Star Game." Johnson made his point felt early on.
Neither Barkley nor Smith bothered to contradict Johnson, who is part-time the Lakers' most loyal supporter, will be on the side of the Lakers whenever and wherever he is, and the glory of purple and gold has been deeply seared into his blood.
After all the NBA All-Stars in the West were introduced, the two sides wore the official jerseys for All-Stars, blue in the West and red in the East, and walked onto the court.
A group of stars chatted with each other easily, such an exhibition game, for them, there was not much intensity, they came and went at will. Li Dong pulled the red arm guard on his left arm, and the blue of the eastern team with red accessories was also very suitable.
This year's Western starters have basically not changed much, Curry, Westbrook, Kobe, Leonard and Durant.
Once both sides are ready, the All-Star Game officially begins!
James lost the jump ball to Kobe Bryant, and the ball went straight to Westbrook's hands.
As soon as Westbrook got the ball, Wade took the initiative to meet it.
Westbrook dribbled rhythmically as the crowd opened the entire half to a duel between two top defenders.
He dribbled two steps, suddenly hit the basket, hit the floor on his toes, and rose into the air again.
Looking back at the moon in the air, Lowry stared blankly......
"Bang"
What a beautiful one-time hanging basket buckle!
This dunk, even Li Dong couldn't help but applaud, it is one thing to complete a beautiful dunk in the dunk contest, and it is another thing to complete a difficult dunk in an official game.
The All-Star team was fast-paced, and the Eastern side quickly served the baseline shot.
Li Dong and Wade ran away, and the Western players were quick to return to defense.
Lowry dribbled the ball to the front court and passed the ball to James, who was also opposite Kobe.
James saw Wade entering from the bottom line and threw the ball over directly, and Wade also saw Li Dong squatting in the bottom corner and quickly passed the ball over.
It's just that Li Dong's first shot didn't score.
The rebound was picked up by Curry, directly advanced to the frontcourt, passed to Leonard, and he also went around the 45° three-point line on the left side, received a pass from Leonard, and directly made a three-pointer, which also did not score.
Li Dong made a long pass to Lowry, and Lowry also saw Wade, who was about to come, and was ready to come to an aerial relay, but who would have thought that Wade did not choose to dunk, but continued to throw the ball upwards, and was received by James in the middle, and came with a two-handed violent dunk.
What an imaginative fit!
At the same time, I have to say that Wade and James are really good friends.
Switching offense and defense, Kobe Bryant received Curry's long pass, but did not catch it, and threw it to Leonard, who just made a turnaround jumper.
Leonard is worthy of being a Spurs player, and his style of play could not be more simple.
After Li Dongyun arrived in the front court, he used a cover from Lowry, that is, a three-point jumper, there was no defense in front of him at all, and Li Dong was completely empty.
Easy hits!
The two sides played a loose game for nearly half a quarter, and the players in the West did not deliberately feed Kobe Bryant, but Kobe Bryant kept giving his teammates a chance.
In the second half of the first quarter, after the coach replaced the substitute players on the court, Li Dong suddenly found -
He seems to have really come to play soy sauce, scoring 5 points on 2-of-4 shooting, in addition to 3 assists, while Kobe Bryant, who played in the same period of time, has scored 13 points and Wade has also scored 10 points.
