119: Appearing in the rumors(1/2)
The game ended, and the legendary slam dunk contest in 2000 finally came to an end.
Stern couldn't help laughing as he looked at the stars rushing into the court.
To be honest, he never expected that the one who could knock on the door to NBA globalization was actually a Chinese player.
Li Angcai joined the NBA for half a season, but the NBA's influence in China has become different from the past.
After this dunk contest, Li Ang’s popularity will definitely soar.
Starkhouse, Francis, McGrady, Carter, Kobe...
Look at these names, they have all become a foil for a Chinese today!
In fact, Stern initially wanted to use this dunk contest to hype Carter.
As we all know, since Jordan retired, Stern has been busy looking for a successor to Jordan.
In the past few years, Jordan's successor has been enough to form a team.
Anyway, the league hopes to find the next iconic character.
But Li Ang's appearance completely opened up Stern's situation.
The second one, Jordan, will be there sooner or later, but not in the dunk contest.
But I don’t know when the second stepping stone to open up a global market will be found.
Therefore, whether Carter wins or Li Ang wins are both the result of Stern's satisfaction.
But in his heart, he still felt that Carter had a greater chance of winning.
Stern didn't expect that Li Ang could really defeat Carter.
This brick is very hard!
Li Ang was put down by the Shark, and the reporter also came over to interview the heavyweight superstar: "Shake, which of Li Ang's dunks do you think do you have the most exciting one today?"
O'Neal grabbed the microphone excitedly: "It's so wonderful, I even forgot what other people's dunks are like!"
Kobe felt like he had been stabbed in the heart.
"So, do you think Li Ang is the real champion of the dunk contest?"
"Of course, he is simply the strongest dunker in the contemporary era! People actually won't remember most of the previous dunk contest champions. But no matter how long they took, people will always remember him!"
Kobe's pain had not yet been relieved, and Shaq inserted a second knife.
It seems that Shaq knows the principle of killing people and killing his heart.
I am convinced by the volute. Please, please don’t talk anymore, fat man!
If you continue, no friends can do it!
After the interview with Shaq, the reporter came to Li Ang and prepared to get to the point.
Shaq also stepped aside tactfully and did not steal the scene.
After retreating into the crowd, Shaq turned his head and saw Kobe.
Kobe pretended to be angry, it's still time for you to coax me now!
As a result, Shaq almost made Kobe vomit blood as soon as he spoke: "Crabs don't have meat, why are you here too? Oh yes, you just participated in the competition, look at my memory hahaha."
Shaq laughed silly, but Kobe's heart was bleeding.
Fatty...I want to break the mercy with you!
It's really not Shaq. You just pulled someone out at the scene of tens of thousands of people and asked him which of Kobe's dunk impressed you the most.
It is estimated that eight out of ten cannot answer.
There are two others who don’t know that Kobe has participated in the competition.
At this time, the focus of the whole world was Li Ang, and the cameras in the audience were aimed at him.
With this dunk contest, Li Ang's popularity will definitely rise like a cheat.
Although Li Ang broke the record of two-double in his rookie season and entered the All-Star Game.
But in this era of underdeveloped Internet, many people still don’t know Li Ang, or have just heard of the name.
But after this dunk contest, Li Ang will undoubtedly become a household name among basketball fans.
The host came to Li Ang and asked before the award ceremony: "Li, what do you think is the biggest reason you can reach the end today?"
"It's a great opponent, come on Vince, come here!" Li Ang waved to Carter, then hugged Carter's shoulder.
A great game requires a great opponent.
Just like Lavin VS Gordon in Li Ang’s previous life, just like Jordan VS Wilkins in 1988.
Without Carter and this half-human and half-god-like opponent, Li Ang's victory would not be so great.
Li Ang pulled Carter to his side. To be honest, Carter lost very much like Gordon this year.
It was all because a 9-pointer gave a 9-pointer.
Of course, no one knew at that time that Kenny Smith's 9 points would affect the results of the game.
Therefore, although Carter lost, he still received a very high popularity bonus.
Just like Gordon, although he is second, his popularity is not lower than that of the hot literary man in the first place.
"Without Vince, who has been pushing me with all kinds of perverted dunks, maybe I can't always go beyond the limit. Thank you brother, we created a great game together.
Marvin just said that we are two half-human and half-god creatures.
So, when we combine, we can contribute to the god-level competition!"
Then, Li Ang gave Carter the microphone and asked him to say a few words too.
"Congratulations to Lee, if I lost to someone else today, I might be crazy. But if I lost to Lee, I was convinced."
Carter during this period, that's it.
Fighting well is more important than anything else.
As for whether to win or not, it is just an additional reward for being refreshed.
Because of the good growth and educational environment, the card's characteristics are very humble and low-key.
But the disadvantage is that few things can irritate his emotions, even if it is victory.
Haven't you seen that the old snake below is already furious?
Congratulations? How can you say this?
The second place is the number one loser, Vince!
All fifth place is better than second place!
Kobe forced himself to think that he was better than Carter.
Francis looked at Li Ang who was close to Carter and sighed.
Sure enough, was I just asking for the "a friend" who was not worthy of having his name when I was asking for the picture?
Just kidding, how could Li Ang forget Francis?
Without this short Captain America, this good show that China and the United States would have been so beautiful.
"Second, I have to thank my good friend Steve. Come on, Captain!"
Li Ang waved his hand and let the short Fu Lao Er stand beside him.
"Thanks to Steve for his cooperation, there would be no wonderful last dunk without him. I also hope everyone will give him some applause. After all, he is the shortest and smallest player among all the contestants. It is already amazing to be able to produce so many beautiful dunks."
Kobe:???
Why do I feel like I'm cursing when I hear this?
Are you telling me, isn’t it an excuse to have a small hand?
Fu Lao Er was moved, I just said, how could my good brother forget himself?
He hugged Li Ang excitedly: "Li Ang won the championship, which is equivalent to me winning the championship!"
If there weren't so many people at the scene, Li Ang would have pushed Francis away.
I don't even want my face!
You really can gild your face. If you win the championship, do you have the strength?
Forget it, because you are willing to wear a tights for me, let you get a hit.
After that, Li Ang thanked McGrady again. Although he didn't know what to thank him for, he would still mention it.
McGrady smiled and shrugged, "You guys hurry up, I want to go back to bed!"
I thought Li Ang chose me to make up the numbers.
If I had known that I could reach the finals with just any deduction, I would not have come!
Looking at the four people standing together and laughing, Kobe and Starkhouse looked at each other.
"Kobe, we are so miserable! We are both people who are falling into the world!" Starkhouse was about to get close to Kobe, but the volute shell was pushed away.
"Go and go, who is the same as you, the worldly descent? I won't talk to the last one!"
Although it is fifth, Swallow also has a little charismatic as fifth.
