1232. The Three-Point Contest for Doing Things! (4th Ticket Request)
It's time for the annual defending champion to visit the White House in the United States!
On February 4, the Grizzlies will take on the Washington Wizards away, and on the 2nd, Sun Ce practiced at home for a day, and the Grizzlies did not schedule a practice on this day.
On the 3rd, Sun Ce In the morning, Sun Ce took the ancestral goose and followed the team to start a four-game trip, and followed the team to the city of the first opponent of the four-store, Washington.
In the first leg of the road, all members of the Grizzlies were allowed to bring their families.
When they got off the plane, the men of the Fat Legion wore dog-like suits and leather shoes and went to the White House for a banquet.
The defending champions of the big four leagues visit the White House once a year, and the White House has long had a special reception process, and everything is going well.
For the Americans, this is already a routine, but for the Chinese side, this is the second time the defending champion has visited the White House, there are Chinese players, before Battle and Sun Yue won the championship ring have not played in the original team, the last time was Yao Ming came to the White House with the Mavericks.
Everything is going well, nothing special, but the players are in different moods, they are definitely excited, the officials of the White House don't think it's very special, but Sun Ce and other players and the families of the players are very excited, but the players who only joined this year have mixed feelings, they don't have championship rings on their hands......
At the press conference, after a series of official speeches to promote Sino-US friendship and sports without borders, Sun Ce handed over the Grizzlies' special jersey to the first black president in American history, and his visit to the White House officially ended.
Sun Ce was excited, but a little regretful.
Yao Ming called and repeatedly told him not to talk nonsense, and the leaders of the country came to Washington in person, and chatted with him for more than ten minutes before he and his teammates entered the White House, constantly admonishing him......
This made Sun Ce very angry, is he the kind of person who can talk nonsense? Free speech is not allowed?
But in the end, he honestly participated in this White House tour, because a certain No. 11 player who played in Dallas bribed Zu Ge, who kept staring at him......
……
The White House tour was just a small episode, and it was nothing new for American fans, who were most likely to talk about the final sprint of the teams in the first half of the season heading into All-Star Weekend.
On the Heat's side, they defeated the Hawks on the night of the 2nd, winning 16 in a row and going 40-7......
Sun Ce looked at the schedule before the Heat's All-Star Weekend, the Celtics, Pistons, Bucks, Clippers, four games, except for the Clippers who have hope of ending the Heat's winning streak, other teams have almost no hope, and the Clippers are only hopeful......
Unstoppable!
Sun Ce was speechless about this, he has been so excited for more than a month, all kinds of triple-doubles, plus four doubles, the caps are flying, and the steals have also increased to an average of 2 steals per game...... As a result, it was suppressed by the winning streak!
Anyway, the White House press conference ended at 1 p.m., and the Grizzlies came to Verizon Center to prepare for tomorrow's game against the Wizards.
This morning, the league announced its roster for the rookie game, and Klay Thompson was named to the sophomore team.
With less than half a month to go before the All-Star Weekend, the rosters for various events are about to be announced or have already begun to be announced, and the rosters that have not yet been announced, and some are making final invitations.
For example, in the slam dunk contest, Westbrook, Rose, James, Kobe, Howard, Carter and other dunk players collectively refused.
The league is also interesting, and the Heat bench small forward Maddy, who can't even jump, has been invited, just to attract the attention of fans.
Under the various smoke bombs of the league, there was a lively discussion online about the final roster of several high-profile events during the All-Star Weekend.
Sun Ce, on his side, is discussing with his teammates how to defend Wall against the defensive combination of Tristan Thompson, Dieng Wits, Ariza, and Okafor.
Just when Sun Ce and his teammates were having a heated discussion, Tim Hardaway approached Sun Ce.
"Noah, I have good news for you."
Looking at Tim Hardaway's evil smile, Sun Ce had a bad premonition, this good thing, there may be quotation marks.
"What's the matter?" Sun Ce asked uneasily.
"The league invites you to the Dallas All-Star Three-Point Contest! How about it, do you want to participate? You're almost setting all-time three-point shooting and shooting records in a single season! ”
As soon as Tim Hardaway finished speaking, Sun Ce's hint came.
"Because the host currently holds the highest average three-point shooting per game in a single season in NBA history, fans are very eager to see the host's performance in the three-point contest, special event: the glory of the three-point king triggered."
"The glory of the three-point king:
The host is required to participate in the 2013 Dallas All-Star Weekend Three-Point Contest.
Participation Rewards: All-Star Weekend Three-Point Contest Champion Random Player Star Experience Card.
Refusal to participate in the three-point contest penalty: The host will be in the following week's event, and the three-point shot will go into a cold state. ”
Tim Hardaway, for his part, continued: "...... In addition to Noah, you, Clay and Paul, Steve, Sean, and Otters Pace have all been invited, you think about it, I'll go and inform them first......"
Sun Ce was stunned for a while, and suddenly reacted to what Hardaway said later, why were the players of his own team who were okay with three points invited? Even Yimu Hualian was invited?
What does this mean?
……
A new event was triggered, and Sun Ce definitely wanted to choose to participate, so he responded.
As long as you participate, you can get a reward, and if you don't participate, you will be ...... the following week. Four games! Among them, he also has to play the Warriors and Hawks two playoff teams on the road, and this season, his three-point shooting has been a very important part of the team's scoring and playmaking, and of course it can't go wrong.
However, Sun Ce didn't expect that all five teammates except Klay Thompson did not participate!
Teacher Na, pickled pepper, president, nobleman, what do these four people want to do?
In the evening, after returning to the hotel, Sun Ce saw the NBA's official Twitter and broke the news that because he was going to participate in the three-point contest, Curry of the Warriors and Morrow of the Celtics accepted the invitation of the league to participate in the three-point contest of this All-Star Weekend!
"The slam dunk contest can't make any movement, and the league has started to make three-point points, right?"
Sun Ce looked at the replies of the fans under the NBA's official Twitter, and sure enough, the fans also found something strange.
The players participating in this year's three-point contest have a common characteristic, they are or have been teammates of his grandson!
