"You got the first vote on the All-Star, why did I invite you to dinner?"

"You're a senior, and you saw that a rookie in the same city was selected as an All-Star starter for the first time, shouldn't you treat me to a meal?"

Kobe rubbed his beard, pondered for a moment, and responded, "You're right." ”

Vivian, who was next to Li Ao, couldn't hold back her laughter, attracting Kobe's attention.

Vanessa, on the other hand, was very experienced, tilted her head and snickered, absolutely silent.

Vivien resisted the urge to continue laughing and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry that Leo's mom said to send us the sausages she made herself, and I'm happy." ”

“……”

“……”

“……”

Bryant felt he was being ridiculed, but there was no evidence.

Forget it, I finally found a reason to deny that it wasn't.

In the evening, Bryant brought Vanessa to Memorial Stadium to block the door, and he predicted someone's prediction.

However, he originally wanted Li Ao, who was elected as the king of votes, to invite him to dinner, but when he arrived at the restaurant, he didn't know what was going on, so it became his treat.

The point is that he still thinks it makes sense, and it seems that he should have a treat.

He has no jealousy about Li Ao being elected as the king of votes, he is far from the king of votes, but he is quite happy, after all, Li Ao is one of his few friends.

In the eyes of others, it was he who endured Li Ao's broken mouth, which was really not easy.

But he knew that his character was far more difficult to accept than Li Ao, and if he changed people, he would have ignored him a long time ago.

On the contrary, what he learned about it, Li Ao is quite popular with players in the league, such as the fat man in his team.

…

After a dinner, Li Ao and Vivian were in a good mood.

After the meal, they said goodbye to Kobe and Vanessa, and the two returned home, watching the news together with a TV, two computers, and three devices.

Elected as the All-Star vote king in his rookie season!

Only Grant Hill had done it before.

Neither Magic nor Jordan did.

When Hill was elected All-Star vote champion in his rookie year, he also broke Jordan's all-time highest number of votes.

Li Ao also broke it, coincidentally, it was Jordan's record that was broken, Jordan got 2451136 votes in the 96-97 season, and he got 2519527 votes.

And he is also the vote king who defeated the slam dunk king Carter.

Now major TV stations and online media are hyping up this matter.

Who doesn't like to be sought after, anyway, Li Ao and Vivian are very happy to watch these news.

In sports forums, this matter is also hotly discussed, but there is a lot of controversy here, revolving around the point of 'worthiness or not'.

This Li Ao had long expected that, not to mention getting the vote king, even if he was only selected as the starter, there would be such a controversy.

When Hill won the vote king in '95 and Kobe Bryant was selected as an All-Star starter in '98, it was also very controversial.

The assistant aunt of the hospital was very happy to watch the news, and she also carried Li Ao's schoolbag and landed on Li Ao's trumpet to match the black fans.

Li Ao looked at it for a while, and then forcibly diverted his attention.

Some of the touted news is too much and is easy to float.

The all-star ticket king, selected, is also selected.

This will not improve his strength, but will definitely attract some veteran stars.

He turned on the system and looked at the 46975 achievement points in the upper right corner, this is real, much more real than an all-star ring or something.

After being elected queen of votes, he received 3 rewards.

The first reward is 20,000 achievement points, and the ticket king is rewarded with an additional 10,000.

The rookie was elected the vote king and got a level 5 skill upgrade card.

Now he doesn't have a level 4 skill, and looking at the level 5 skill upgrade card, he is drooling and melancholy.

He wanted to accumulate achievement points, and when he arrived in the NBA, although the rewards of achievement points after winning the game became more, and the rewards of tasks were also more.

But it's harder to win, and the task isn't always done, so you have to plan for the offseason earlier.

This summer, he has a lot of places that he wants to train and strengthen, and the physiotherapy function and training tasks all have to consume achievement points, and with these, he can get twice the result with half the effort.

However, what if one of the souls draws a level 4 skill upgrade card?

'Punch Nursing Home' is exactly level 3...... One time! Just smoke it!

He gave instructions in his heart, the intermediate lottery.

"Congratulations to the host for obtaining 1 Silver Equipment Upgrade Card."

Li Ao:( ̄- ̄)

It's not bad.

'Tracey's elbow pads' he already wanted to rise, the tabula rasa bonus is not dribbling and shooting bounce +2, hard bonus, it is very useful for him who uses catch and shoot as the main means of scoring, and he can use it when eating cake and dunks.

He used the equipment upgrade card he had just gotten to this one.

"Tracy's elbow pads (silver): When jumping and shooting without dribbling, the bounce is +2, which reduces the shooting impact caused by the pre-shooting action, and the core strength is slightly improved."

did not continue to improve the hard bonus, Li Ao had a loss of hope.

But the core strength of the catch-and-shoot is slightly improved, which is great, and it can improve the stability of the shot.

It's just that...... Shooting pre-action?

What else can you do with catch-and-shoot?

Shake the invincible Hot Wheels like in a basketball fire?

Huh! Wrong!

Tracy's elbow pads......

Li Ao thought of the picture of Maddie bending over and stretching one leg back, grabbing the ball with one hand and stretching it to the right back, and suddenly jumping upright and throwing the ball overhead.

He didn't know how this pre-shot action would help him score a goal, but he was pretty handsome!

Only then did he remember that this equipment was probably in the service of this trick.

As a result, he used it as a catch-and-shoot and shark dunk......

The riotous shooting action, you can practice it when you have time, and occasionally play when the small guard changes defenses.

Look at the 30,000 achievement points, and then look at the level 5 skill upgrade card.

couldn't hold back, he issued another lottery instruction and spent 10,000 yuan.

"Congratulations to the host for obtaining 1 level 3 skill upgrade card."

Sure enough, it was hard to get into the soul.

But luck was good.

He upgraded his defensive skill 'Heavy Pressure Level 2'.

"Heavy pressure level 3: When the host defends one-on-one, if the height and weight are dominant, the speed is +3, and the strength is +3; in a single game, after the host completes the steal and block in the one-on-one defense, the sense of defensive pressure brought to the opponent is greatly enhanced.

Note: The effect of improving the sense of defensive pressure depends on the psychological quality of the opponent and the reputation of the host's defense. ”

'Heavy Pressure' and 'Siege' are both level 3 skills, and it's always right to improve defense, no matter how iron your shooting is, if you can contribute on the defensive end, you won't play too badly.

Seeing that there were still 26,000 achievement points left, Li Ao immediately turned off the system.

Housing gambling and drugs really can't be touched, it's too harmful.

He looked at the appearance of the assistant aunt carrying a small schoolbag and black powder on the line, and couldn't help it, and in the exclamation of the other party, he started the adult game......

…

The next morning, Li Ao arrived at the Staples Center more than ten minutes early, and the staff had already changed the nameplate in the home team's locker room.

He put different brands and models of mobile phones in the wardrobes of different teammates.

This was bought by Vivian when she took Li Ao's parents to go around a few days ago.

Li Ao gave purchase suggestions according to the brand and appearance of the mobile phones used by his teammates.

Although the vote winner was not confirmed at that time, the All-Star starters had already stabilized.

Giving a small gift once in a while is good for the atmosphere in the team.

After putting the gifts, he went to practice, and at 9 o'clock, there were cheers from the dressing room, and he was in a better mood.

At noon, good news came from Schwartz's side - Columbia Pictures finally agreed to jointly hold the sneaker trademark.

He was elected All-Star vote champion and became the main driving force.

AJ is also willing to spend more money because of this.

Give money, and things will be easy to talk about.

However, Columbia Pictures also put forward some other requirements, one of which is to ask Li Ao to make a cameo appearance in the movie, which he has no problem with, and the filming is also quite fun, occasionally filming for two days, and the right to adjust the pressure caused by the competition and training.

Schwartz will next negotiate with both sides to fight for more interests.

There was more small money to take, Li Ao was happy, and chose not to pay attention to this matter.

He knows very well that he can get the attention of AJ and the filmmaker because of his popularity, and what brings him popularity is the performance on the court.

There was one thing he regretted.

After taking the ticket, he also called another man with a picturesque style and wanted to celebrate with the other party, but the other party did not answer the phone and did not reply.

In tonight's game, he also wanted to invite the other party to watch, but the other party still didn't answer the phone and couldn't return the phone.

He pretended to ask about sneakers, but he didn't pay attention.

…

At 5:40 p.m. at the Staples Center, the Clippers' opponent tonight, the Bulls, entered first.

Li Ao leaned on the entrance of the players' tunnel, looking at the opposite team, the most brilliant team in the last decade, and sighed.

Since Jordan's second retirement, the team has immediately become the worst team in the NBA, and there is no one.

And it's bound to rot for a few more years, and now the talent of this team is completely not enough to support their rise.

After Jordan retired, Pippen, Steve Cole, Rodman, Luke Longley ...... The main force of the second dynasty of the Bulls, except for Kukoc and Ron Harper, all the others left the team, some left on their own, and some were driven away by Crowder, the general manager of the Bulls who had long been unable to stand this group of people.

Ron Harper also Kukoczy, who only stayed temporarily because his contract did not expire, was quickly kicked out.

At the turn of the new millennium, the Bulls saw nothing Jordan-related except for the No. 23 jersey and six championship flags flying over the Union Center.

It feels like I can't wait to draw a line with Jordan.

But in the past two years, whenever the Bulls can't sell tickets, they use Jordan's name to hold activities to attract fans to buy tickets, and I don't know how many Jordan-worn jerseys and used basketballs the Bulls have hoarded.

When he was a fan, Li Ao watched this as fun, but as a player, he always felt that it was not like that.

But he sighed, and when it came time for the home team to enter, he immediately got high.

It's time to abuse the vegetables!

In the past two seasons, the Bulls have only finished first in the East, the Grizzlies have been at the bottom of the league in the '98-99 season, and last season they were at the bottom of the league...... It is Li Ao's Clippers team.

This year, the Bulls have gone one step further, currently 8-40, the penultimate first place is unshakable, and even the Wizards, who are trying their best to mess up, can only fight for second place in tears.

The whole team is very relaxed now, and Gentry didn't even conduct targeted preparation training for the Clippers today, and the offensive and defensive training sessions in the morning are all regular tactical training for the team.

It's not that Gentry doesn't want to be cautious, it's that he watched two Bulls game footage and couldn't really find a good entry point against the Bulls.

When the opponent is flawed all over his body, how should he fight this fight?

In the final preparation time before the game, when Li Ao and Matt Harplin, O'Neal Jr., and Big Q exchanged defensive cooperation, they talked about where to go to San Francisco to eat in the next away game......

While chatting happily, Li Ao's eyes suddenly widened.

This opponent is actually on a mission!

"In the barren ruins, there lurks a growing beast, and he longs to fight against all the strong ones, and every strong opponent is his goal...... Mission: Beast Attack triggers. ”

"The Beast is coming:

Goal: Score a single shot (including a foul on a shot) with Ron Artest defending.

Reward: 500 achievement points per ball. ”

Ron Artest, 21 years old, 201 cm, 105 kg, overall rating 77...... Averaged 10.8 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals per game...... Shooting 39.8 percent from the field and 29 percent from three-point range......"

Li Ao looked at the other side, Artest was staring at him, his eyes revealing a strong battle intent.

It's a beast lurking in the ruins!

The rest of the Bulls' players, including Elton Brand, who averaged 20 points and 10 rebounds per game, had numb expressions and gave the impression that they wanted to finish the game quickly and go home from work.

Only this one, with a competitive glint still shining in his eyes!
