Chapter 771: Appetizers?

Arlington, Texas, February 12, 2010.

The 2010 NBA All-Star Weekend kicked off in the northeastern Texas city. This All-Star Game, in the official information, is called the Dallas All-Star Weekend. But Arlington is actually a 32-kilometer drive from Dallas, which is not a long or short city, and it is considered a neighboring city of Dallas.

"We, Arlington, are actually part of the Dallas-Fort Worth metropolis along with several cities like Dallas and Fort Worth. You've heard of it! The fourth-largest metropolitan agglomeration in the United States! ”

Naturally, the official team is equipped with special cars for the players who participate in the All-Star Weekend. The local driver drove a luxury car, taking Chen Mu and Su Yin all the way to the venue, and at the same time proudly introducing the local customs.

"Don't call me bragging! We in Arlington, summer is a little annoying, hot, rainy. But the winter is very comfortable, not cold at all, cool, cool feeling, you know? ”

"Yes, yes."

Chen Mu listened to the driver's blind BB, and turned around and grimaced at Su Yin, the two looked at each other and smiled, and Xiao Nizi's face was almost red.

"No, no, no, I know Philadelphia has a good climate, but it's not comparable to our Arlington!"

The driver was still excited, and his eyes widened and said, "I'm telling you, it's the perfect time to come to Arlington for All-Star Weekend!" You see, our Arlington city is not so congested, there are not so many people, although the scale is smaller than Dallas, but the climate is pleasant! That way, you stars can ...... when you come."

THE DRIVER BLABLA'S GU SAID TO HIMSELF, CHEN MU AND SU YIN DIDN'T HAVE THE HEART TO LISTEN AT ALL. Looking out the window, the two enjoyed the city scenery and the cool breeze, and their hearts were indeed very cool.

Cities in the United States have a special characteristic, and each city has its own characteristics. A city like Arlington isn't too obvious, but it looks different from other cities.

The scenery and trees here exude the atmosphere of Arlington in every place. It is obvious that there must not be so many people in the city on weekdays, and the All-Star Weekend is still very good for the local economy in a short period of time.

According to the official arrangement, the 12th is a fan carnival and an all-star wheelchair basketball game designed to convey the spirit of sports. This basketball game is part of the NBA-CARE program, and it can be regarded as a way for the NBA to give back to the community.

On this day, Chen Mu, as the most popular superstar in the league today, naturally wanted to show his face at the carnival, shake hands with the fans, hug them, take a photo or something.

Speaking of which, for this kind of activity of meeting with fans, Su Yin has some ideas in his heart. Chen Mu is not a traditional American handsome guy in the minds of Americans, but he is also a superstar, with thousands of fans.

However, as one of the top names in the alliance, Chen Mu can't refuse much. In the United States, this kind of physical contact is not so important, Chen Mu generally responds with a smile and nods to some overly requested.

Pity Su Yin, standing not far away and watching, he was very unhappy in his heart, and he had to pretend to be very generous on the surface and smile slightly.

There's no way, the media are all filming on the side!

Su Yin still remembers that when she came to All-Star Weekend with Chen Mu for the first time, she played some carnival games with Chen Mu, who was not so popular at the time.

Now that Chen Mu's fame is getting bigger and bigger, it is getting more and more difficult to do something of his own.

"Yin'er, shooting machine, do you want to play??"

"Hmm...... Yes? ”

Su Yin was still in the circle here, and Chen Mu suddenly stepped forward over there, laughing and said, "I remember that you like to play very much, do you want to come?" ”

"I ......"

Su Yin's heart throbbed, this little thing, Brother Mu actually remembered.

But......

"It's okay, don't worry about the media, my task is about to be light."

Chen Mu smiled, turned around and pointed to the door.

The two luxury cars in front and behind stopped, the doors opened, and the big black man wearing sunglasses stepped forward to open the door.

“…… Bryant!!! LeBron !! ”

Two other popular monsters are coming.

"Go shoot, shoot now!! Chen's side has enough materials! Leave half of the people to follow Chen, don't care about the content, what to shoot! ”

After a lot of commotion, the staff divided into three ways and followed the three most popular stars in the league at present.

LeBron and Kobe Bryant are both old rivers and lakes, and they are easy to handle. In fact, for an event like a carnival, stars of this level generally don't come. But this season has come, and it has to be said that it is also a change in the NBA's marketing process.

"Me? All-Star Game MVP? Haha, of course if you have a chance! ”

Reporters asked Kobe Bryant's opinion on the All-Star Game, and the Lakers supergiant looked calm and showed his competitive spirit to win any game with ease.

"The All-Star Game is a place for everyone to show themselves and have fun together, and we're here to give the fans an amazing exhibition game. Of course, I can't control the paranoid thoughts of Kobe and Chen, and at the end of the game, there will definitely be real guns fighting for victory. ”

LeBron's side, what he shows is his personal traits, and he never says anything too full. Even if a reporter asks a question about the MVP of the All-Star Game, he also said a few words lightly, which is LeBron's superb emotional intelligence.

Of course, there will be times when this emotional intelligence will deviate, such as a year later, and it is very likely that a certain decision will occur.

As for the third superstar, Chen Mu, he ......

"The Last Ball...... Hahahahaha I won!! Hahahaha!! ”

This one......

The reporters were next to him with a black line, wasn't Chen Mu playing with his legendary girlfriend with a basketball machine? Shouldn't all boys let girls? Although Chen Mu is shooting with his left hand, it is true that he has to be so serious, and he has won against a girl who has just graduated from college no matter how you look at it, is it really so worth being happy about? ?

“…… Hum! Bully! ”

Su Yin pretended to be angry, turned around and ran away, Chen Mu high-fived and celebrated with a few familiar reporters on the spot, and when a reporter pointed behind him with a dark face, he noticed that Xiao Nizi didn't know where to go.

Well...... In the night after the end of the day's activities, Chen Mu's life was not easy......

The first day of the event was just a weekend warm-up, and on the second day, the All-Star Weekend program began to increase and the atmosphere grew more and more enthusiastic. In addition to the fan carnival that still exists, stars have begun to participate in a wide range of NBA-CARE activities, going into communities, schools, hospitals, and other places to ignite the city with their own enthusiasm.

The All-Star Celebrity Game was held to attract the attention of people who were not so passionate about sports and basketball. A popular or not-so-popular star plays, and can also play with professional players, the game itself is nothing special to watch, but this atmosphere is the key.

Then there's the highlight of the second day of All-Star Weekend, the Rookie Challenge.

"It's a pity that this year's Rookie Challenge is a little less interesting."

Chen Mu and Su Yin came to the court and sat down, surrounded by Iguodala and Iverson, as well as some players who had a good relationship on and off the court.

Greeting each other and joking, each teasing each other's female companions is eye-catching, and the players get along with each other very simply.

Su Yin has been here a few times on similar occasions, and he greeted everyone calmly.

"yes, yes, it's a shame that Derek Rose didn't come. Hopefully his injuries aren't too much of a problem, last season really gave us enough surprises, against Philadelphia he was outstanding, all kinds of scalpel breakthroughs, spring man dunks, plasticine-like body flexibility, his game was so good! ”

The commentary booth came with a big lineup at All-Star Weekend, with Reggie Miller, Albert, Chris Webb, and Steve Cole sitting down together, and it looked quite spectacular. Among the four, one is a professional commentator, one is a famous poisonous mouth who throws into the lore man, one is a gorgeous Daqian who looks shy with a star face but loves to show off his skills in his bones, and the last one is a cold-faced smiler.

"That's right, Derek Rose reminds me of Mike, you know, that Mike."

Kerr continued: "I'm very impressed, the first time I played against Mike, I was still with the Cavaliers. I'm excited to play against the Bulls, against Jordan. You all know me, I'm confident, I think I'm the best in the world, he's just a jumping gecko, I can slap him to death. ”

"After the start of the fight, in the first round, Mike came to defend me. Who am I? O great god! With a sneer, he made a jumper and scored two points above his head. It felt so good that I was spewing trash talk to him. ”

"And then? Did he get revenge on you in the next round? Miller asked with interest.

“…… Eh, don't worry about the details, anyway, to make a long story short, we played a very tight game, and Mike and I were very anxious. At the end of the game, we had a combined 50 points. ”

Cole said a few words.

"Mike's points?"

Webb knew Cole was going to be funny again.

And he ...... 48 points, I 2 points. ”

"Hahaha......"

A bad joke, the regret of Rod's absence was brought over, and everyone began to introduce the rookie game appearances.

"The sophomore team is good, Rose is replaced by the Warriors' Morrow, and Beasley, Gasol Jr., Eric Gordon, Brook Lopez, Mayo, Gallinari, Love and Westbrook."

Albert said: "On the first-year team, Evans, Jennings, Curry, Flynn, Kespie, Blair, Harden, Gibson, Jerry Beko, almost a water outside. ”

"The first-year team is choked."

Miller frowned.

"No, I haven't won against a sophomore team in seven years."

Cole nodded.

Seven years ......?

Chen Mu looked at the court, and Curry on the court was greeting him.

Will this "appetizer" really be as boring as the commentators expected......?

The game begins. (To be continued.) )
