Chapter 091: An Unprecedented Event

Even before the All-Star Game, Dallas and the NBA league were already creating the atmosphere as they sought to make the game the most attended All-Star Game in history. And things are really going in the direction they want them to.

According to various media reports, the All-Star Game at the Dallas Cowboys Stadium will have an audience of nearly 100,000 people, in fact, people greatly underestimate the ability of the organizers and the super enthusiasm of the fans at the scene. According to the final statistics, the number of live viewers of this year's Dallas All-Star Game reached 108713, which is undoubtedly the largest in history.

"It's a huge basketball party." Mavericks owner Cuban proudly said in an interview, "We said we were going to have the biggest basketball party, and it was going to be something that people have never seen before, and it turned out that we could do it all." ”

Before the All-Star Game began, Cuban, along with Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, announced a record for 108713 attendees, a number that has been entered into the Guinness Book of World Records.

The reason why it is called the latter is entirely because he is one of the investors in the stadium used by this year's All-Star. The stadium is said to have cost $1.2 billion to complete and was officially opened last year.

The stadium in Arlington, between Dallas and Fort Worth, has a population of 370,000, but today it houses nearly a third of the city's population. You can expect the grand occasion of this All-Star Game.

In fact, not only NBA games, but also 108713 the largest number of spectators compared to the NFL (National Football League). Previously, the Dallas Cowboys had the largest attendance at the stadium by 105121 attendees. That was a record set against the New York Giants last September.

The most recent crowd was last month, when the Cowboys drew 92,951 fans during their playoff game against the Philadelphia Eagles. It also became the record for the most attendance in the history of the NFL playoffs, even surpassing the Super Bowl finals.

For the Dallas All-Star Game to set a record for the number of spectators in 108713, Cuban, who faced the camera, was very proud. "It's crazy that everybody can have a great time here, and I haven't heard a single negative comment about it so far."

Kobe Bryant missed this All-Star due to injury. But this did not prevent him from holding his wife to come to the court, and under the background of a casual suit, the first person in the NBA looked very handsome. Vanessa, who was previously rumored to be pregnant, appeared in a black tights, and from her tight figure, it can be seen that there is no possibility of adding Ding to the Black Mamba House for the time being.

"Boy, do you know why I'm absent? That's because I don't want to fight with you, so. Go for it! Although this is Dallas. But no one says that the MVP should be awarded to the host! The boss gave the former little brother a big bear hug, "There are so many people here today, it is very suitable to win an honor worth remembering!" ”

Compared with yesterday's miserable situation, today's Big Apple is much happier, except for the absence of the super royal sister who is rumored to be in the outside world, all of Li Chen's rumored girlfriends have all arrived, and the warbler Yanyan in the stands makes people have to envy the Yanfu of the Big Apple.

Seeing from afar that Kidd was coming towards his side, Kobe Bryant whispered to Li Chen. "I'm sure Jason, that guy can't leave the woman as soon as he opens his mouth. It's nothing more than asking you how to get involved with several girls at the same time. ”

Li Chen's disapproving appearance made Kobe a little unhappy, "Believe me, that old pervert has been doing things like this all day, don't believe you ask Dirk, they are teammates, and he knows everything about Jason very well!" ”

Nowitzki, who was next to him, smiled awkwardly after listening to Kobe's words, but his attitude had already given the answer, and Kobe didn't seem to be lying.

Sure enough, the old pervert didn't disappoint, "Hey, Cruze, your girlfriend group is going to make my eyes fall with envy, honestly, how did you do it, I promise not to share it with others!" ”

The crowd looked at each other because of Kidd's opening remarks, and then burst into laughter, Kobe Bryant in one language was secretly proud, and everyone's strange reaction made Kidd completely confused, he really didn't understand what the group of guys on the other side were laughing at?

"What did I say wrong? Or why do you refuse to share your happiness with me? ”

Because of the affection of his teammates, Nowitzki quietly told Kidd the cause of the incident, although the romance is not ashamed, but Kidd, who is not too old, is still a little embarrassed, and the old pervert who is over thirty years old is no longer the little pervert who was jealous in the 3J contradiction, so many years, he has learned to be calm.

"It's normal, who of you dare to say that you don't envy Cruz," Kidd said indignantly, "and you don't eavesdrop!" ”

Of course, it's impossible not to eavesdrop, all of them are quietly waiting for the Big Apple to teach their experience, although many of them already have girlfriends, but after all, Yiduo is not pressing.

How can there be any experience in this kind of thing, Li Chen thought about it for a long time and didn't say why, but because of everyone's expectant eyes, he had to throw down some experience, "If you want to be like me, first ...... You have to be handsome, so don't think too much about it! ”

In response to the big apple is a row of middle fingers, all the people in the NBA are a group of self-confident guys, who have never been modest in appearance, not to mention that there are indeed some handsome Anthony and Kobe Bryant and others, even Zhan Huang never doubted that he was a handsome guy!

The competition kicked off with a song "More" by rap king Arthur, according to the king himself, this is a single specially recorded for this year's NBA All-Stars, and the effect of the song is really good, and the exciting melody instantly makes the audience enthusiastic. Especially since there are already 100,000 spectators today, you can imagine how lively the stadium is.

When the players are introduced, the players move differently. The superstars of Emperor Wade are already very stylish, while stars such as Gasol Johnson and Rose are slightly low-key and shy, and this slight difference also shows the character and personality of the players.

As for the Big Apple. This guy never knew how the word stage fright was written, he just won the three-point king title yesterday and was as high-profile as ever, a pair of local tyrant golden basketball shoes almost blinded everyone's eyes, and the newly added tattoo on the arm also became a magic weapon to show off, although no one knows why the big apple tattooed the name Eve, but this does not stop their enthusiasm.

In this part of Dallas, of course. No one could steal Nowitzki's place as host, and even if the Big Apple won the hearts of the audience with his hip-hop dance, it was only when the German tanks entered the arena. The enthusiasm of the audience still rose a notch in an instant. After all, he's the star of the Dallas Mavericks, and after 12 seasons here, he's become a hero to the city's people.

Nash also surprisingly received a high voice, considering that he had been away from the calf for a long time at this time, and the current Canadian baby belonged to Phoenix. However, such regrets will not make fans forget the legendary veteran who has been in the NBA for 14 years. The audience gave a round of applause to Nash, who spent four seasons with Nowitzki in the city, and people are still grateful for his selfless performance.

The stadium of 100,000 people was full of people, and everyone could have foreseen that it would be a feast for the players and a carnival for the fans.

The starting lineups of the two teams have successively moved to their positions, as previously introduced, in the West because of Kobe's absence. This year's starters are a bit odd. Nash, Anthony. Nowitzki, Duncan, and Smalls are simply antonyms for a large four-small lineup, but fortunately this is only an All-Star Game, otherwise such a lineup really doesn't know how to play.

There are also many strongmen sitting on the bench in the West, after George Karl's selection, the Nuggets' Billups, the Jazz's Delon, the Lakers' Gasol, the Thunder's Durant, the Grizzlies' Randolph and the Clippers' Carman became the last lucky ones, although they are not starters, they still have the opportunity to be able to perform in front of 100,000 people.

The starting lineup in the East is slightly better, and the status of Wade of the Heat and James of the Cavaliers is very expected, and it is expected that they will be able to rub the spark of love in the All-Star Game, especially since both of them are in contract year at the same time next year, and no one can guarantee that such a combination will only appear in the All-Star game forever.

Although the Big Apple in New York is only a sophomore player, what he has done makes people dare not treat him with the same attitude as a sophomore, and in the land of Dallas, the handsome Big Apple is obviously more popular than the Cavaliers' James.

Garnett and Howard, a pair of interior strongmen, are also very expected, the wolf king has had a legend of touching the eaves of rebounds N times in a row, Howard also has the reputation of kissing the frame man, the new and old generations of sports inside line make people have to worry about whether the basket on the court can withstand their attacks, after all, the former big shark has proven that the NBA basket is not 100% safe.

The bench lineup in the East was also selected by the coaches, and Van Gundy's big back brought in a bunch of good pieces, Rose of the Bulls, Johnson of the Hawks, Rondo of the Celtics, Wallace of the Bobcats, Bosh of the Raptors and Horford of the Hawks.

There are two players selected for this year's All-Star class of 08, namely the starting Big Apple and the substitute Rose, and there are also two in the class of 07, namely Durant and Horford, but both are substitutes, in contrast, the 08 class has been approved by people one step ahead.

For the final selection of the lineup of this year's All-Stars, many fans of the older generation have sighed, although the absence of Kobe Bryant is very unaccustomed, but after all, the great god is absent due to injury, which can't blame anyone, what really makes fans feel sad is the defeat of the old star players like Big Shark, Pierce, Ray Allen, and Iverson.

Even if we all know that time will bury everything, but when things really come, people will still be a little uncomfortable, the funny of the big shark has brought a lot of happiness to people, the gorgeous steps of the answer have made countless people crazy, and the tenacity of the captain of the green army, the demeanor of the gentleman Lei, everything has gradually faded away, the world is always changing, but the passion for basketball has never wavered.

On the other side of the ocean, in a web page full of all kinds of lace news, a post caused a response from many people, who may not have personally watched the idol's competition, but this does not prevent them from sticking to their beliefs.

"Time passed quietly, and before I knew it, they were old, and I was old, thank God for arranging for me to meet your most passionate performance in the most unruly years!" O'Neal, Iverson, too many names to be missed, and in this day when everyone is all about All-Star, such nostalgic posts inadvertently add a sense of sadness.

Of course, nostalgia is not the theme, competitive sports have always been like this, a generation has a generation's beliefs, people are always changing, but the madness for basketball has always been the same! (To be continued......)
