Chapter 155: Basketball Prosperity, Beauty Gathers!
Time flies by and All-Star Weekend has its most remarkable moment, and today is the last day and the day the All-Star Game will be the main event.
Security has been improved throughout Phoenix, and there is no way to do it, there are so many fans who come to watch the game today, they come from all over the world, and even though they don't have tickets, they are still happily watching the live projection on the big screen outside the arena.
The stadium is heavily guarded, flying in the sky, running on the ground, bicycle police, and groups of security teams, maintaining order while living like a grand festival.
I have to admit that the basketball atmosphere in the United States is really good to explode, and there is a reason why so many basketball superstars can be produced.
Just like table tennis in China, seven or eight-year-old children can give you a forehand and backhand teaching, and it is simply unreasonable not to rule this field.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, the East and West All-Stars began to shoot makeup photos.
In the group photo, Lin Mu stood in the C position, not as imagined that year 18, standing in the corner like an ant in adversity, Lin Mu, as a rookie, was recommended to the C position by all the big brothers, as for Kevin Durant of the same team, he could only stand in the corner, looking at Lin Mu and leaving tears of envy.
As the voting king of this year's All-Star Game, Lin Mu is also fully qualified to stand in the C position, even if he doesn't want to, the league will force Lin Mu to stand here, no way, who calls him the most famous now.
Because of this, the pre-game interview of the All-Star Game is special because of Lin Mu, and the league has set up an interview time for Lin Mu, and the rest of the players will be interviewed one after another in the normal order. And all the remaining time will be owned by Lin Mu alone, and he will be interviewed by reporters in the most detail.
Either way, this wave of arrangements looks very good!
In the interview session, a reporter who provoked trouble asked the big shark O'Neal in person, whether Lin Mu's sudden rise would steal his limelight, and in the just-concluded game, Lin Mu led the Thunder to defeat the Sun, would such an opponent cause a great burden on the big shark psychologically.
"Nope! I'm not worried! This is my territory, and the big sharks won't allow other fish to make waves on their territory! ”
"I'm the focus here, I'm going to be the prettiest cub in Phoenix!"
"Today's all-star I will show my style and become an absolute star!"
O'Neill said with a bit of a grin, a typical shark-like answer.
As a veteran who is about to retire, this year may be the last All-Star of the Big Sharks, and he will become the brightest presence in the All-Star field every time.
Moreover, in the case that no star deliberately competes for the All-Star MVP, the star who plays at home has a greater probability of winning the MVP on the All-Star field.
However, just when O'Neill was halfway through pretending, the on-site reporters instantly lost more than half.
It turned out that Lin Mu's interview time was up!
O'Neill smiled bitterly and shook his head, it is outrageous that Lin Mu can have such a terrifying reputation in his own territory, and the league's love for Lin Mu is no longer at the same level as other players.
Especially this year, Lin Mu was selected as an All-Star as the ticket king, just like Yao Ming who entered and exited the league that year, like a Chinese star in the middle of the question, which will bring great benefits to the NBA league.
Not to mention that Lin Mu's performance in the first season is much better than Yao Ming, even without the full support of the Chinese people, with his average data per game and the current team ranking of the Oklahoma City Thunder, Lin Mu can become an All-Star substitute.
This is a very terrible fact!
Because even LeBron James failed to complete the achievement of entering the All-Star ranks in the first year of his rookie season, Lin Mu's future is limitless!
During the interview, the reporters in front of Lin Mu's desk were like marquees, one squeezed in, one squeezed out, one just finished asking, and the other directly handed over the microphone in his hand.
Lin Mu sat comfortably on the bench, and the reporters asked questions one after another.
"Lin, some people say you have more lace news at All-Star Weekend than you do on the court, what do you have to say about that?"
Lin Mu spread his hands: "You can never wake up a person who pretends to be asleep, my performance on the field is obvious to all, but some people just can't see this, selectively blind, I'm used to it." ”
The next reporter asked: "In the regular season matchup, the Thunder twice double-doubled against Kenneng's playoff opponent, the Phoenix Suns, do you have anything to say about this team?" ”
"Or do you ignore them completely after you've defeated them?"
This question is punishable!
You're blatantly rhythmic.
"I don't think so at all, one or two successes don't mean anything, I want it all the time!"
"Accolades don't come overnight, and I'm never complacent about winning a game."
In the midst of the reporter's words and me, time flies, and the ESPN reporter asked the last question: "Are you interested in the MVP of the All-Star Game?" ”
"It's a battle between the best players and I want to prove that I'm the best, it doesn't matter what MVP is, I just want to win the game." Lin Mu said very seriously.
In my impression, this year's MVP trophy was shared by Kobe Bryant and O'Neal, the former Los Angeles partner, the inside-outside team that created the dynasty, and after parting ways for several years, they also completed the reconciliation on the court.
After the interview, the official pre-match performance began on the center of the stage.
NBA All-Star Weekend usually invites international superstars as guest stars before the start of the main game to set off the warm atmosphere of the scene.
Among the guests performing today, the biggest name is the singer Beyoncé, who wore a one-piece dress with a super low V collar and showed off her unparalleled singing voice and singing skills on stage.
But such a revealing outfit made David Stern sweat.
In the recent Football Super Bowl, halftime performer Jenny Jackson directed and staged a serious strip show, and the falling jersey caused an uproar, which also made the NBA All-Star organizers worry that this scene will be repeated.
After all, in such a fiercely competitive environment, it is very likely that there will be unscrupulous means in order to become famous.
Although Beyoncé's status is far from using these means to improve herself, speculating on the malicious heart of others is the basic quality of these alliance leaders.
Beyoncé sang a total of two songs on stage, a new song and an old song, and her appearance was also quite ingenious, slowly rising in the center of a stage surrounded by many pink diamonds, full of cards.
And Beyoncé's husband Jay-Z was not idle offstage, chatting with rapper Kanye there, and then deliberately found Lin Mu, who was watching the performance on the sidelines, and took a group photo like an ordinary fan.
I don't know if this scene was captured by Beyoncé who performed on stage, she went straight to Lin Mu after the performance and asked for a group photo.
For these particularly promising players, American stars are especially willing to make friends with them.
Whether it is a singer or an actor, it is very difficult to be active on the TV screen all the time, without good works, you may be like an ordinary person in daily life, except for those die-hard fans, most of the audience's impression stays in the stage of your popularity.
However....
That's not the case with NBA stars!
There will be a new season every year, and as long as they are not injured, they who have been active in the field will be the most convenient way to improve these actors and singers.
A simple show of your face is enough!
Seeing this scene, Lin Mu himself was a little ridiculous, can't you husband and wife go together, do you have to come one by one?
In the next second, the lights of the entire stadium suddenly became dim, and a cart loaded with ten layers of cakes slowly drove in.
The Celtic celebrity shook his head embarrassedly, and in shock, joy, and emotion, the old man puffed up his strength and blew out the bottom candle in one go.
Cheers, applause, I wish you a happy birthday The voice lingered in the center of the stadium, and the camera brother was also very sensible to look for unusually eye-catching beauties in the stadium.
first switched the camera to a blonde, who was the second eldest of the Kardashian family, Kim Kardashian, and then the camera switched continuously, and Hilton and Mendes appeared on the big screen one after another.
Not only that, but there were many more beauties who came to the scene.
Anne Hathaway, Jessica Alba, Megan Fox....
Too many celebrities have come to the scene, and this is also one of the annual feasts.
"! The quality of this home beauty is inevitably too high! ”
"Envy those male compatriots who can watch the game on the spot, a feast for the eyes, it's a feast for the eyes!"
"I feel that some of these girls are a little familiar, as if I have seen them somewhere."
“FUCK! I remember, isn't part of it Lin Mu's rumored girlfriend?! ”
On the commentary seat, Barkley was already smiling from ear to ear: "The camera brother on the sidelines is really a bit funny, and at a glance, you can see that the usual lace news is not less." ”
Kenny Smith also snickered on the side: "It is estimated that the organizers will add chicken legs to this big brother after the All-Star Game." ”
"I don't know if it's a coincidence or it can be arranged, how did these people sit side by side? From such a distance, I could feel a sense of murder. ”
Kenny Smith laughed when he heard this: "Charles, you are exaggerating! Maybe people don't care much at all, but I'm curious to see what these people are talking about when they sit together. ”
Barkley touched his bald head and smiled cheaply: "I think they should have no shortage of common topics, after all, they have both owned the same man." ”
Barkley is bold and lives up to the name of Big Mouth.
Seeing this, Kenny Smith hurriedly changed the topic, if he continued to talk, for fear that those female celebrities would publicly criticize themselves on their public relations accounts, and fans would explode this kind of thing, which would be terrible.
In the end, the photography brother gave Lin Mu a big close-up.
Lin Mu looked casual, talking and laughing with Da Yao next to him, and didn't seem to notice the pictures of his rumored girlfriends on the big screen.
Is that actually the case?
Of course not!
Lin Mu is not blind, so can he see such a big person there?
Life is like a play, it all depends on acting skills!
Lin Mu pretended not to see, otherwise what could he do? Waving at these girls one by one?
Lin Mu looked calm on the surface, but in fact, he was already a panicked horse in his heart, and he said that three women in one play, good guy, this permutation and combination can give the whole whole play.
However, compared with the embarrassment, Lin Mu was more worried about how to get along with these "girlfriends" after the game.
Before, I could shirk it because of various excuses, and once the All-Star Game is over, I can't run away anyway when there is nothing!
Hey, sometimes there are too many women, and it's really a happy annoyance.
But...
"Anne Hathaway, she's here too?"
In his previous life, Lin Mu especially liked to watch Hathaway's "Love and Elixir", in which he played an Alzheimer's patient and staged a sad love affair with the protagonist.
Of course, Lin Mu still can't forget the whole fruit shot.
After the tidbits, the DJ stars who served as the scene began a very grand introduction.
East and West All-Star players are starting to appear one after another!
The first to be introduced are the alternate All-Stars of the East and West.
All-Star subs in the West: Shaquille O'Neal, Tim Duncan, Amare Stoudemire, Brandon Royin, Pau Gasol, Dirk Nowitzki.
What is somewhat surprising is that the Phoenix Suns, as the host, did not have a single All-Star starter, which made Phoenix fans very angry, but they seemed helpless.
After all, this is the result of everyone's vote, and the starting spots of Lin Mu and Durant are also a reflection of the strength of the two.
At least this season, the performance of the Thunder Twins is far better than that of "Little Overlord" and "Big Shark"!
It is worth mentioning that because of the appearance of Lin Mu, David West of the Hornets and Chauncey Billups, the brain of the Nuggets, were not successfully selected for this year's All-Star, which is also a pity.
The All-Star benches in the East are Paul Pearce, Mo Williams, Rashad Lewis, Ray Allen, Glenn Harris, Danny Granger and Joe Johnson.
This was not the case with the original Eastern Conference All-Star bench, Chris Bosh and Nelson were unable to participate due to injuries, and Mo Jr. and Joe Johnson took their place and were successfully selected for the All-Star spot.
After the introduction of the bench, the next step is the starters of the East and West All-Stars.
Eastern Conference All-Star starters: LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Kevin Garnett, Dwight Howard, and Allen Iverson
"The Great Age of Genes"
Western Conference All-Star starters: Kobe Bryant, Yao Ming, Kevin Durant, Lin Mu, Chris Paul
When the live DJ introduced Lin Mu and Durant, the scene erupted in boos.
To be precise, it was a mixture of boos and cheers, and even when Kobe Bryant appeared, the scene failed to erupt into such a vast sound.
Obviously, Phoenix fans were very angry that their star was not selected as an All-Star starter, and then vented this anger on Lin Mu and Durant.
No, among the starters, they have the lowest qualifications.
"Lin Mu, don't worry, I'll pass you more later, and use my performance to completely close the mouths of these fans!"
Da Yao and Kobe Bryant said intimately.
Paul stood aside and was silent, he was not familiar with Lin Mu, besides, the situation in the West this year is grim, and the sudden rise of the Thunder has made the already violent West more difficult, and Paul's Hornets and Lin Mu's Thunder are likely to become direct competitors in the playoffs.
Paul was hesitant to do so.
"What is this, the fury of a bunch of useless people, I don't care in the slightest."
"That's right, Kevin."
Lin Mu turned his head to look and found that Durant had already erupted angrily with a fan on the sidelines!
