Chapter 239 Opening Ceremony
The selection criteria for All-Star starters is not absolute strength, but the combination of popularity and strength.Back then, Yao Ming was able to enter the All-Star starting lineup in his rookie season. In addition to relying on the huge domestic market, he also had the support of the league's top strength. Otherwise, it would be difficult to complete such an achievement.
Mariah Carey, nicknamed Butterfly, is a well-known American female singer with many masterpieces. The song "Hero" sent off Michael Jordan, who was about to retire, made the eyes of the best player in history red.
Time flies, and the most influential star in the post-Jordan era is also ushering in the last season.Mariah Carey once again accepted the league's official invitation and took the time to fly to the Air Canada Center Arena to prepare for the opening performance of the All-Stars.
After talking with Steve Kerr, Xu Tian got a general understanding of his tactical thinking.Cole hopes that he and Curry can play more off the ball to open up space for teammates, thereby enhancing the game's appreciation.
Xu Tian could not agree with this point.
James has never played against Xu Tian, but in tonight's game, the opponent he cares more about is the legendary Lakers star Kobe.
The appearance ceremony of the All-Star players is not the same as usual. The starting players from the East and West will be introduced first, and then the substitute lineup will be introduced.
The previous All-Star starters will receive the most cheers and applause. In order to repay the enthusiasm of the fans, they often design ingenious appearance actions to increase the sense of ceremony of the appearance introduction.
Xu Tian's personality is not lively, he has not been taken care of by the seniors of the alliance, and has not designed any appearance actions.
The first thing to introduce is the Eastern Conference All-Star starters.
The first player to play was Julius Randle, a power forward from the Pacers who went to Indiana from Los Angeles.
Julius Randle used to be teammates with Xu Tian for a period of time. After coming to the East, he successfully won the fan votes with an average of 20+10 per game, and beat Bulls forward Jimmy Butler to be elected as the starter in the East.His appearance was a mechanical dance with simple movements.
The second person to be introduced is one of the leading stars of the Raptors, Kyle Lowry, a small steel gun.
Kyle Lowry's personality is not ostentatious, and the designed appearance actions are also unpretentious.
The third person to be introduced is the perennial All-Star starter, one of the four best players in 03, and the Knicks boss Carmelo Anthony.
Carmelo Anthony has a strong aura and does not need extra appearances to set it off. He simply waved his right hand to greet the fans on the scene.
Immediately after being introduced, it was the soul of the Heat, the shooting guard who brought three championships to Miami-Dwyane Wade.
When Wade was young, he was selected as one of the fifty most beautiful men in the world. With the increase of his cheeks, his appearance has declined slightly, but he still has the top appearance among black people, and he has received many screams from fans.
The finale in the Eastern Conference was Cavaliers forward LeBron James.
James is a superstar who is used to the situation, with a serious and relaxed expression. He opened the show with a sensual Popping dance move, and also received unusual cheers.
The western all-star lineup is full of stars, and the starting list is all top existences with both strength and popularity.
First to be introduced is Kawhi Leonard, the current star of the San Antonio Spurs.
Kawhi Leonard is generally considered to have facial paralysis, and he rarely shows a smile. Even a bloody dunk can't cause the star player's expression to change.Because of this, his number of fans is quite large.
The second person to be introduced is one of the Oklahoma City Thunder twin stars, the small forward second only to James in the league, the talented Kevin Durant.
Durant knew who the central figure was tonight, and simply waved his hand to thank the fans for their cheers.
The third person to be introduced was Xu Tian, the hottest rookie recently, the current head star of the Los Angeles Lakers, who came from the far side of the ocean.
Cheers and boos came together, and mixed with Xu Tian.
Although Xu Tian has not been in the league for a long time, he has already experienced countless boos. This scene does not affect him at all, and he waved his right hand lightly to thank the fans with a relaxed expression.
The fourth starter to be introduced is Stephen Curry, the star of the Golden State Warriors with the league's first record and the start of the small ball era.
Stephen Curry relished the entertainment-filled game, swaying his shoulders a bit and showing off with his customary post-goal celebration.
Kobe Bryant is the finale appearance of the star.
The on-site host at the Air Canada Center Arena listed Kobe's accumulated championships, All-Stars and best team times in his career.
All the fans at the scene stood up, turned their love for the star into motivation, and shouted Kobe hoarsely in unison.
Kobe is like a master in the martial arts. He has experienced several ups and downs in his career, and his heart has long been relieved.With a light swing of his right hand, he responded to the enthusiastic shouts of the fans at the scene.
Wade looked at the grand occasion of the Air Canada Center Arena, and thought of 2008.That year, the enthusiasm of domestic fans for Kobe made the superstar from the United States feel deeply shocked.
The cheers lasted for a long time, and after they fell, the relatively boring introduction of the substitute lineup began.
After all the 24 star contestants appeared on the stage, a temporary stage was temporarily set up on the scene, and the performing dance troupe and artists were in place.
The spotlight above the venue changes, adjusting the atmosphere of the venue softly and orderly, creating an atmosphere for the appearance of the well-known dance troupe Kinjaz.
Kinjaz is the top dance troupe in the United States. It is famous for its ninja dance. Its wonderful performances have always caught the attention of fans and players on the scene.
Xu Tian marveled at the powerful and beautiful movements of these dancers, and applauded calmly, expressing his respect to the utmost.
Black dancers are very talented, and most of the stars are more excited than Xu Tian, dancing to the rhythmic accompaniment for a short time.
After the Kinjaz dance troupe exited, after years of baptism, Mariah Carey, who was a little fatter, appeared on the stage.
Kobe looked at the smiling butterflies with a little surprise, and the originally calm heart lake suddenly stirred up waves that could not be calmed down.
Hero's prelude sounded, and Kobe's emotions broke out completely. Just like Jordan with red eyes 12 years ago, he began to look back on his long and brilliant career in the past 20 years.
Xu Tian's career had just begun, so he naturally couldn't understand such a mood, he just sighed in his heart that the once peerless master, after all, was no match for the years and was gradually withdrawing from the stage of history.
At the same time, ESPN released a piece of news, which was an interview with the famous Lakers magician, and the headline of the news was "Magician: Kobe is the strongest star in the history of the Lakers!"
Mariah Carey's singing gradually drifted away, leaving only Kobe sitting in place, full of melancholy and sadness.
Happy New Years Eve!I wish you good health and good luck in the new year!
