0748: Rihanna's Secret
The 60th NBA All-Star Game will be held at Staples Arena.
This is undoubtedly an excellent showcase for the NBA. As the second largest city in the United States, the City of Angels is the world's largest gathering place for magnesium lights. Placing the annual All-Star Game here is undeniably the attention it gets.
At least... TNT, which broadcasts the tournament exclusively, doesn't have to worry about ratings at all.
And Adam Shaw, the vice president in charge of marketing for the event, no longer has to worry about the halftime lineup, because here, he can easily find more than double-digit A-list singer schedules.
In fact, even if they don't spend money on invitations, some big-name stars will come uninvited.
After all, it's Hollywood. The last thing Hollywood lacks is stars.
β¦β¦
The NBA had considered making Snoopy a halftime guest, and with the current reputation of the little duke, if he appeared in the performance session, it would definitely trigger a carnival of the entire arena and an explosion of global ratings.
However, in the end, the tension based on the current collective bargaining situation was lifted, and now many players are dissatisfied with the 'duke clause' thrown out by the management. If the little duke is allowed to take millions of dollars from the All-Star Game, those guys won't have to chew all the lemons with the skin and swallow them in their stomachs? But not everyone has a big heart.
Based on solidarity considerations, the NBA's final selection of three groups of halftime performers were: Aken, Drake, and Rihanna and Kanye West.
After this information was announced, Miley Sellers immediately called Rihanna to draw a line.
Even though they used to be so friendly.
However, Miley Sellers can't accept that Rihanna is partnered with Kanye West, who once offended Snoopy, and that's her bottom line. She thinks Rihanna is ignoring her emotions and deliberately embarrassing Snoopy.
However, Rihanna is also very aggrieved, as a top female vocal, working with a rapper is something very helpful in her career. Moreover, Isn't West already reconciled with Snoopy? When Snoopy released his new album "The Duke's Diaries" last summer, he and Jay-Z were working hard to promote him, and BeyoncΓ© even shared the stage with Britney recently.
However, Miley is not one to forgive easily.
She quickly hung up and blocked Rihanna.
Her posture was even more decisive than Snoopy's rejection of an invitation to the slam dunk contest.
Ahead of All-Star Weekend, David Stern and Nike have been working on a dunk showdown about the Duke vs. Kings. This season, Snoopy, who showed his talent, averaged nearly four violent dunks per game, which made many fans have high expectations for him, hoping that he would show his skills in the slam dunk contest and sweep away the current sluggish situation in the slam dunk contest.
As for LeBron James, since he even entered the league, veteran basketball fans have begun to hope that he will soar to the sky and win the championship in the slam dunk contest.
After all, from its inception in 1984 to 2001, the Slam Dunk Contest has been a stage for the league's top guards to showcase their talents. Especially after Michael Jordan, Wilkins, Larry Nance, Kobe Bryant, Brent Barry and other stars relied on the slam dunk contest to gain greater fame.
However, since the beginning of the new century. With Vince Carter becoming a god in 2000, Mason, Richardson, Gerald Green, and Josh Smith have never been able to polish their golden signs. Immediately, Nate Robinson and Dwight Howard used various funny performances to completely lower the style of the slam dunk contest for three consecutive years.
Since then, no top perimeter has wanted to enter the ring. In the words of one commentator, the dunk contest is becoming more and more like a Japanese film, with the help of various props (such as superman capes, senior jerseys, and fancy basketballs) for sensory stimulation, and there is no longer the display of pure technical and physical talent with real knives and guns.
This year, Snoopy was surprisingly consistent with James' reasons for refusal: "I'm only good at actual dunks, not showmanship." β
This gave David Stern a huge headache.
With the King and Duke refusing at the same time, fans can only watch the four forwards and center players compete on the field. Ibaka, Griffin, McGee, and DeRozan competed for the dunk title.
What else can fans say about this?
There's even a voice that says, why not just cancel the slam dunk contest?
Such doubts are the same as Rihanna's depression.
She finds out that not only has she been blocked by Miley Sellers, but Taylor Swift has stopped answering her calls.
The three of them used to form a close alliance. Albeit... She never entered the group of duchess girls. But she was the one who brought Taylor and Miley together.
Of course, her purpose is to fish in troubled waters, so that she can take advantage of the chaos of the Duke's fragrance. After all, that night, she had seen Snoopy's continuous combat power while pretending to be drunk, which haunted her dreams, and she tossed and turned for countless nights, with magical sounds in her ears.
β¦β¦
The first day of All-Star Weekend.
Snoopy traveled to the rookie game with first-time All-Star selection Russell Westbrook and second-time All-Star Game selection Derrick Rose to watch three of the other five brothers, sophomore's Stephen Curry and James Harden, and first-year team's Paul George.
"Rihanna said she knows a lot of secrets about your relationship with the Duchess Girl, so, do you know her well? Can you introduce me to the introduction? β
James Harden has been chattering in front of Snoopy before the start of the game, and Rihanna is his idol. He was hoping that Snoopy would introduce him on his behalf.
But frankly, Snoopy and Rihanna don't know each other. It's just that when she was in New York, she saw Miley Sellers take her to a 'pillow fight', when she was still drunk and unconscious.
As for the secret? What's the secret.
The little duke thinks that the news that has been hyped by the media since yesterday is simply nonsense. Rihanna is just looking for trouble.
Unbeknownst to him at this time, Taylor Swift and Miley Sellers were discussing countermeasures. At the time, Rihanna did get involved in some plans on how to take Snoopy down. Moreover, there was a lot of gossip about the team's lineup, Scarlett Johansson, and Selena Gomez.
"Hey, Snoopy. How many points do you think the sophomore team will win this year? "Stephen Curry came over, another thing he cared about.
Snoopy gave him an annoyed look: "I think you'd better keep a low profile, Paul George is ready to shoot your layup out of the box at any moment." And, let's not forget that there are two top finishers in the first-year team. John Wall, Blake Griffin with a year of repetition! β
As the two were talking, first-year leader Carmelo Anthony walked over and took the initiative to high-five Snoopy.
He looked very happy.
Having been mired in trade rumors lately, it's rare for him to be so happy.
"It's pretty much certain, and the Knicks' offer was approved by Denver." Anthony whispered over the little duke's shoulder.
This embarrassed Snoopy a bit, and as a former Knicks player, he didn't know what to say. He hesitated for a moment before he said, "...... Congratulations, congratulations. β
"Thanks again for your advice. Tonight my wife, Lala, threw a private party in Los Angeles and we had a lot of celebrities to it. You should definitely come and participate. Carmelo Anthony patted the duke's dog on the shoulder, very enthusiastic: "I have announced that you are going to participate, and now everyone is waiting to see you at the party, so you must not refuse me." β
"But... I promised Kobe Bryant......"
Anthony hurriedly said: "Kobe Bryant also received my invitation, and he and his wife will be present. β
Forehead.......
What else can Snoopy say. "Okay!"
