Chapter 399: Voluntary Labor
ESPN has a unique insight into this, they list the numbers they are good at to explain this phenomenon, writing before the All-Star break: Please stop chirping about the number of bad teams like Granger and Crawford's strong team brush to be selected as an All-Star, at least Granger has led the team to overturn many giants, Crawford's team is the first in the league, in fact, there are many All-Stars in NBA history who are much worse than their team record and personal strength.
There have been nine players in NBA history who have been named All-Stars without winning 10 games that season, the most outrageous of which was John in 1973. Bullock, who has 17.9 points and 9.2 rebounds, looks good, but the problem is that his Philadelphia 76ers only won four games at the time, which is the worst All-Star in history......
He was followed by Nell, who played for Philadelphia in 1953. Johnston and John Brown, who played for Cleveland in 1971. Johnson, who won 6 games; In 1967, he played for Don in Baltimore. Orr, who won 8 games; 1969 Lakers' Gail. Goodrich, the Sun Fan. Walter of Asdale and the Bulls. Bellamy – It's unbelievable that there were three guys this year, and with Wade last year, they all won just nine games.
It's weird enough that the first people can be selected as an All-Star, but it's even weirder that Magic Johnson is even more weird. Before the start of the 1991-1992 season, he suddenly announced that he was living with HIV, causing a sensation in the sports world. Because the blow was so sudden, the Lakers management refused to give up and still included the Magic in the team's roster. Also unwilling to give up is the league, where on November 5, the All-Star voting began, and MagicJohnson's name was prominently listed. Two days later, the magician tearfully announced his retirement. originally thought that things would come to an end regrettably, but unexpectedly, the fans of the Magic were even more unwilling to give up, they fully carried forward the spirit of unity, dare to fight, and turned the impossible into a possibility, and insisted that the Magic, who did not play for a minute, was selected as the Western All-Star starter.
The Magic was naturally very moved, dragged his sick body, and played in a game, scoring 25 points, 5 rebounds and 9 assists on 9-of-12 shooting. Jordan and Isaiah. Thomas hit three consecutive three-pointers to lead the West to a 153-113 sweep of the East, and as a result, he lifted the All-Star MVP trophy amid cheers and screams from the audience.
The capitalist Huang Jiguang and Qiu Shaoyun were born, which is also the reason why Magic fans always believe that if Johnson does not retire, Jordan will not be able to become a god, or that he will not be able to become a god so soon. It seems that there are good reasons, the fame of the dead fat man is not blown, and the greatest point guard lives up to his name.
The list of All-Star games was as expected by the media, and the elder Dunleavy did not want Bilian to follow the original Pistons, so he was stunned to get all four of his own players. Roy, the second-best shooting guard in the West, couldn't make it to the All-Star, and the Portland media lashed out at the elder Dunleavy for cronyism.
But no matter how much you curse, it's useless, that's the rule, who calls the Clippers have a good record? If the Trail Blazers are not convinced, they will get the title of No. 1 in the West, and it will be no problem to get their own five players when the time comes.
Ji Guoqiu did not participate in any other games this year, except for the rookie game and the All-Star game. However, the riotous fox was not so low-key, he accepted the invitation of the league and participated in the "three-point contest", not only did he participate in the "three-point contest", but also participated in the "slam dunk contest" election.
Everyone knows that the little fox wants to win the championship of the slam dunk contest with his brother.
This year's slam dunk contest has introduced a new way to select qualifications and the rules of the game. Among them, the qualification is not decided by the league, but the players who accept the invitation are determined in the form of voting on the official website, and the four players with the most votes will participate in the slam dunk contest.
The final four people who participated in the 2009 Slam Dunk Contest, that is, the four people with the most votes, were Ji Guoyi and Dwight. Howard, Nate. Robinson, J.R. Smith.
LeBron. James said last season that he would participate in this year's slam dunk contest, but he changed his mind again this summer, and then said he wanted to participate in the early part of the season, but when it was time to vote, he regretted not accepting the invitation again......
As for the poor monster, he participated in the slam dunk contest again this year, this is his third time participating in the dunk contest, but facing a new opponent who beat him exactly like last year, he has a premonition that he will continue to play the best green leaf before the All-Star starts, which feels too bad!
Howard has already let out the words that whether he wins or loses, this year will be the last time he will compete. It can be said that for the ratings of this game, Howard has been the second child for two consecutive years, and if he starts with the second child again this year, Warcraft has indeed done his duty, and he can't pull Superman out once a year to be the second child, right?
The rules of the three-point contest have also been changed this year, becoming the same as the slam dunk contest, where the league invites first, and then a large number of players who accept the invitation vote to select the final six contestants.
The final six participants in the 2009 All-Star Three-Point Contest were: Ji Guoyi, Kevin Brown. Durant, Danny. Granger, Jason. Kapono, Rassad. Lewis and Kyle. Korver.
The six players who participated in the three-point shooting contest this year are only higher than last year's three-point shooting strength, and each of them is a good player, and there is no guy who has come to make up the numbers. It seems that the alliance doesn't want Ji Guosha to really win three consecutive championships, these two animals have achieved enough honors, and the alliance now has plans to limit it.
So if Ji Guoyi wants to defend his title this year, the difficulty is not ordinary, his five opponents are not so much elected by netizens, but rather the alliance launched to prevent him from defending the title, that kind of vote as long as you want to do tricks, it is a matter of minutes for the alliance, Ji Guoyi must maintain last year's performance to be sure of the success of defending the title.
The rest of the other All-Star projects have nothing to do with the two brothers, except for Ji Guoyi's inevitable victory in the "Three-Point Contest", "Slam Dunk Contest", "Rookie Game MVP", and "AMVP", Brother Panda, who has already won a grand slam, is not ready to play on the All-Star, he doesn't care about these titles for a long time, and this time he really intends to assist the Dead Fox throughout the whole process.
"Damn, it's really better if you don't fight with me, no, you *** say that every time, but every time you snatch the honor, I don't believe you now. Otherwise, don't go. Ji Guoyi came to Phoenix City with his teammates on the 13th and stayed in the hotel designated by the alliance, feeling that the dead panda Bacheng was playing him again, and the bastard jumped out at the end every time to take away the victory.
"You're sick, if I don't help you, have you ever brushed Kobe? There's no Iverson dragging him back this year, people have already released rumors that they want to win the MVP, and you're still playing fart without me! Ji Guoqiu's words made the dead fox move, although it was cruel, but he alone really couldn't snatch Kobe's big brush, this bastard had to be beaten in a group.
"No, speaking of group fighting, I remembered, maybe I could kill him without relying on you this time. Don't forget, without you, Dunleavy Sr., Billups, and Crawford helped me. By the way, there are also Yao Ming and Nash, so Kobe Bryant can't do it alone, and he can't play me at all, hahaha......"
Thinking of this, Ji Guoyi couldn't help but laugh in the hotel lobby, startling Howard and his teammates next to him, and the people next to him didn't know what this guy was laughing at suddenly, it was just brainless!
This year's All-Star, the two brothers have become familiar with each other, and they follow their teammates to the hotel, waiting for the regular dinner party the day before the All-Star Game every year.
Taylor. Swift and Emma. Roberts followed his boyfriend to stay in the hotel, and the league does not prohibit bringing his girlfriend with him, otherwise how can Vanessa be seen cheering for Kobe Bryant on the sidelines with her two daughters every year?
The two brothers each asked for a single room, and they took a break in the afternoon to recharge for tomorrow's game.
This year's All-Star Weekend, Feb. 14, will feature the "Celebrity Game" and "Fan Carnival" on the afternoon of the first day, followed by the "Rookie Challenge" in the evening. On the evening of February 15, the "Shooting Star Competition", "Skills Challenge", "Three-Point Shooting Competition" and "Slam Dunk Competition" were held. On the evening of February 16, the finale of the "All-Star Game" will be held.
This year's Rookie Challenge, the first-year lineup - Derek. Rose (Bulls), O.J. Mayo (Grizzlies), Mark. Gasol (Grizzlies), Greg. Oden (Trail Blazers), Rudy. Fernandez (Trail Blazers), Russell. Westbrook (Thunder), Eric. Gordon (Bucks), Michael. Beasley (Heat), Brooke. Lopez (Nets).
Second-year team: Ji Guoqiu (Clippers), Ji Guoyi (Clippers), Kevin Lee. Durant (Thunder), Jeff. Green (Thunder), Al. Horford (Hawks), Teddys. Jan (76ers), Ronnie. Starkey (Pistons), Aaron. Brooks (Rockets), Louis. Scola (rocket).
The "Rookie Challenge" on the first day of the All-Star Weekend attracted a lot of attention, and the second-year team has Ji Guoqiu, Ji Guoqiu, and Durant, and they have an absolute advantage in strength. Cross, in his first chronology, was not as brilliant as these three.
So in the eyes of fans, there is basically no suspense about the outcome of the game, but there is a lot of suspense for the MVP of the rookie game. Kevin. Both Durant and Ji Guoyi announced in a high-profile manner before the game that the MVP was in their pockets, which made the media very excited, and it was not good that fans could see an infighting caused by the competition for MVP. If this kind of thing really happens, then it will be fun at that time, the first-grade team is not without a chance, as long as the second-grade team is infighting, then it is possible!
After the dinner that night, the little fox returned to his hotel room and resisted Taylor with great perseverance. Swift's seduction, resolutely without the C of the AB little singer, he wants to recharge for tomorrow's MVP, and must not let Taylor first. Swift snatched it.
The giant panda didn't have so many worries, and when he returned to the room and hugged the little radish shredd, he began to verb Daci, and he came to a set of ABCD to do it again
Just as the pandas were poking around the room, the NBA official website announced that Trail Blazers center Oden would miss the rookie challenge due to a left knee injury.
Oden, the unlucky guy who was reimbursed for the entire season due to minimally invasive knee arthroscopic surgery last season, was selected as the No. 1 pick in 2007 and is expected to face off against Durant, a collegiate rival in the rookie game, and there are expectations for him and the rookie team led by the rookie team led by the rookie No. 1 rookie Rose. However, the Trail Blazers revealed that Oden's knee was injured in their No. 12 win over the Warriors, and in the fourth quarter, Oden's knee hit Ellis and injured him.
The first-year team lost a general before the battle, and the tragic champion will continue to be a tragedy. The two brothers knew that if nothing else, Auden the Great might have said goodbye to the NBA from now on, and remembered that he never came back after this injury.
On February 14th, the first day of All-Star Weekend, in the morning, these stars did not play, and they volunteered as a group, and several buses drove over and pulled these guys to work on the construction site.
After more than two dozen All-Star players completed roundtable interviews, Yao Ming, Kobe, O'Neal, Wade and many other NBA players were pulled to a local Caesar. Chavez Elementary School, helping with the rebuilding of the school building.
Yao Ming was the first to arrive at the scene, in front of a pile of wooden whiskers as high as a small hillside, Yao Ming took out the spirit of "Yugong moves mountains", and used plastic sheeting with the children to carry heavy wooden whiskers, running back and forth between the playground and the open space, back and forth more than 10 times, working for more than 20 minutes, without stopping.
Twenty minutes later, Yao Ming went inside the house and drank a few sips of water, then came out again, muttering, "Do as much as you can." ”
The American media sighed that he is worthy of being a person from a socialist red country, and his work is serious, and he is ashamed!
Bryant arrived later, twenty minutes later than tomorrow, but Bryant, the scum of capitalism, was much more "lazy" than Yao Ming, and he did "movement in place" - taking a shovel and shoveling the wooden whiskers onto the plastic sheeting in front of the "hill". I have to say that Kobe's popularity is really unbeatable, and fans keep coming up to take photos and chat with him. So, Kobe Bryant didn't even bother to exercise on the spot, so he took the opportunity to steal a little lazy, shovel twice, straighten up, take a photo, shovel twice, and say a few words......
As soon as Nash arrived, he saw that the sun was raging, and suddenly covered his back and shouted: "I have committed this back injury again, who will help me?" ”
Ji Guoqiu reacted quickly, and immediately helped Nash up, and the two didn't know where to slip away in a blink of an eye, which is the origin of the title of Nash's son of the wind.
Ji Guosha also wanted to be lazy, or pretend to be injured or something, but Yao Ming's eyes were sharp, and when he saw Ji Guosha standing stupidly, he hurriedly beckoned and said, "Yo, it's here, hurry up and work." After Yao Ming finished speaking to the little fox, he immediately stepped forward and grabbed him in front of the "hill" and taught him how to work.
When the dead fox saw the hill in front of him, his heart suddenly galloped!
Ji Guoyan didn't know how to work, and accidentally got the sawdust on Yao Ming's head when he shoveled the sawdust, and the latter patted his head and smiled, "It's okay, keep working."
Just when the dead fox wanted to cry without tears and resigned himself to his fate, he suddenly saw James and Wade also arrive, he hurriedly beckoned and shouted to the two: "Here, there are few people here, come quickly!" ”
James and Wade saw the hill next to Yao Ming and Ji Guoyi, and were about to turn around and find a place to do the same exercise, but they were stopped by the dead fox in a hundred-decibel voice, and the two superstars were also galloping in their hearts.
"Hey, let's go together." James is not good at stubble, his heart said that everyone will die together, and when he saw O'Neill and Paul behind him planning to run away, he hurriedly pulled these two people together as a cushion.
Countless reporters sighed around: "These stars are really positive this year, in the past, they were scattered around the construction site as soon as they arrived, and then disappeared, no one did the hard work at all, but today they have come to work in front of the mountain, and our capitalism is not bad." ”R1152
