Chapter 70: Commentator
After media reporters bombarded the rookie challenge the day before yesterday, yesterday's three-point contest and dunk contest, the 2oo2 All-Star Game officially kicked off.
My position was right behind the Eastern Conference All-Star bench, which was assigned by Michael Jordan, and I happened to be on the commentary bench next to me.
Mr. Charles Buckley ended up inviting me to the commentary table, handed me a headset, and began to make a big fuss:
"Ladies and gentlemen, today we have the honor of having the MVP of the Galaxy Men's Professional Basketball All-Star Weekend Rookie Challenge as the guest commentator for this game......
I was blushing with shame, I didn't even mix in the NBA now, and I was talking about the galaxy, although I knew it was a joke, but it really made people blush.
Kenny Smith saw that he was too far off topic, and quickly brought the topic back: "Kwame, Vince Carter cheered you on yesterday, are you here to cheer Vince today?" ”
"Yes, I'll be cheering Vince today, you know the two of us are very good friends!" I replied decently.
"What about Michael Jordan? Don't you cheer him on? Charles Barkley sowed discord.
It's a little difficult, but I'm still able to deal with it, and I said slowly: "Cheer for Vince Carter, naturally you also cheer for Michael, both of them are Eastern Conference All-Stars, and cheering for either of them is naturally cheering for the other." ”
"If they're part of a different alliance, Kwame, who will you cheer for?" Kenny Smith on one side also began to add fuel to the fire. Of course, you can't blame the two of them, the most important thing in all TV shows in the United States is to get ratings, and in order to get ratings, these commentators and presenters have to create all sorts of gimmicks, and obviously the question of who I cheer for is a small gimmick.
"I'm going to cheer myself on then!" I pondered for a moment, and could only channel the water of calamity to myself.
"Cheer yourself on? What do you mean? Charles Barkley asked, touching his head.
"When the two of them belong to two different leagues, I guess I'm almost an All-Star, and if all three of us are All-Stars, who do you think I'm going to cheer for?" I explained with a smile.
"Haha...... Kwame! You're such a big slippery head! Kenny Smith laughed.
"Kwame, do you think this year's All-Star East is more powerful, or is the West more powerful? Which of them can win this game? Kenny Smith then asked.
"This year's east and west strength is about the same, it's hard to say who can win this game, the key is to see who is in good shape, and the one in good shape wins the game." I can't offend anyone, I'll be sloppy.
"Whoever is in good shape wins the game!" Charles Barkley chewed on the phrase for three seconds, then shouted, "Kwamay! Why don't you apply for a White House press spokesperson! How do you say something and you don't say it! ”
"Hah! Kwame! If you apply for the White House press spokesperson, I will definitely vote for you, I think you were born to be a spokesperson! Kenny Smith was on the side to help Charles Barkley.
"Kwame, who do you think is most likely to win the MVP in this All-Star Game?" Charles Barkley continued to trick me.
"It's hard to say who can win the MVP, but I know who can't win the MVP!" I'm going to have a big move right away.
"Hah! So who can't win the MVP? Kenny Smith looked curious.
"Kenny, you're so stupid, Kwame will definitely say that you can't take it if you don't play!" Charles Barkley gave Kenny Smith a hint and laughed out loud, seemingly happy that he was so smart.
Kenny Smith sat in the commentary booth dumbfounded, and then said playfully:
"Nonsense! This doesn't count, let's just say who can't win the MVP among the all-stars of this year! Kwame you say! You have to say this! Don't cheat! "I've become a liar!
I straightened my tie, coughed, cleared my throat, and said solemnly, "O'Neal, the shark!" ”
"Poof!"
"Haha......"
Charles Barkley, who was drinking water, squirted water out of his mouth and laughed wildly. Kenny Smith's face was depressed, and this was an answer that no one guessed.
Shaquille O'Neal, the center of the Western Conference All-Star, is obviously the All-Star of this year, but unfortunately the big shark O'Neal suffered a little injury in a game against the Nets before the All-Star and has to rest for two weeks, so he can't play, so the organizers can only put Chris Webb in the Western Conference center position. I took advantage of it again.
"Kwamei, you disappointed me so much, I thought you were very honest, but I didn't expect you to be worse than Charles Barkley! You honestly answer, who can win the MVP and who can't?" Kenny Smith was ruthless, as if he had to satisfy me with my answer.
If this question is really answered honestly and positively, it is estimated that it will definitely cause dissatisfaction among many people. Regardless of the strength I'm talking about. So I absolutely can't answer.
"Kenny, you know, I'm a rookie, I don't think about a lot of things, I need to do my own calculations, okay?" Once again, I tried to change the subject.
"Charles, hurry up and get a pen, that piece of paper, and let Kwame calculate it!" Kenny Smith directs Charles Buckley to the road.
I drew a table on a blank piece of paper with a pen in a decent way, the first column was filled with the name of each player, and then the first line was written with playing time, rebounds, rebounds, rebounds, assists, steals, blocks, turnovers, two-pointers, three-pointers, points.
Kenny Smith and Charles Barkley craned their necks to look at the paper on the table, and then Charles Barkley burst out laughing, leaning back and forth, and then patting me on the shoulder and saying, "Kwamei, you're so talented!" ”
Kenny Smith's expression was as disgusting as if he had eaten a fly, and he took the paper in my hand, then showed it in front of the camera, and said solemnly:
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the formula for calculating MVP, as long as you can get these numbers, you will easily predict the best game of all the games, if you can bet on the best game around you, as long as you get these numbers, after careful calculation, I guarantee you to win. Ladies and gentlemen, you must remember that this is the work of Kwame Brown......"
Charles Barkley was dying of laughter.
It is estimated that the audience watching the live broadcast is also laughing in front of the TV......
The game started with Kenny Smith and Charles Barkley teasing me.
As in the previous life, from the very beginning of the game, the east began to lag behind, and the strength of the east really cannot be compared with the west. Tracy McGrady, who came off the bench, was brave enough to score 25 points, but he couldn't stand the frenzy of Kobe Bryant in the face of a barrage of boos. Philadelphia fans hated Kobe Bryant, who was born in Philadelphia, hated him for not playing for Philadelphia, hated him for taking away the 76ers' trophy last season, and when David Stern presented Kobe Bryant with the MVP trophy, the entire arena was drowned out in boos from the crowd.
All-Star Weekend is over, and fans are scattered. That's when I got a phone call.
