One Guard

phone-reading

Staples, Los Angeles, California.

This place is not an exaggeration to say that it is the sanctuary of the basketball world, and this year, the highly anticipated All-Star Weekend was held here, and it successfully attracted the attention of all basketball fans around the world.

The white Staples Center stood quietly in front. Yiyang and Dirk were sitting in the official NBA bus, looking at the red letters on the huge wall outside from the window.

Yiyang has not had the excitement that he had when he first came into contact with this basketball temple up close, and of course he would not point to the buildings outside and say like a tour guide: "Look! This is the famous Staples Center. !"

After all, Yiyang has come here to play a few times this season, and all of them have performed well. In the game against Kobe and the Lakers, Yiyang and the Mavericks even took away the victory from Staples. But once again seeing the crowd of people outside the arena, Yiyang still opened his mouth.

Outside the Staples Center, the large posters of the Lakers players are no longer hung, but replaced by posters of all the players selected for the All-Star Game this year.

Each of these characters is the best basketball player on the planet at the moment. Being able to be selected into the All-Star team is also a performance that the player's strength and popularity are double recognized.

Kobe Bryant, Carmelo Anthony, Chris Paul, LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Dwight Howard...Look at these names, it seems that each one shines Light. And this weekend, these stars who shine in the league will compete on the basketball court, bringing a visual feast to basketball fans all over the world.

At the end of the Western Conference All-Star team, Yiyang also found herself wearing a set-up photo of the All-Star team jersey. To be able to appear in the same place as those shining names, Yiyang felt it was really incredible.

Strictly speaking, Griffin was the top pick last year. Just because he was reimbursed for the season before the start of his career, the rookie season was postponed to this year.

If you want to talk about it, Yiyang, the 2010 Flower Show, is the only rookie selected for the All-Star Game this year. He is also one of the few players in the history of the NBA to be selected for both the Rookie Challenge and the All-Star Game. This kind of honor, coupled with Yiyang's complexion, naturally made him the most topical among this group of stars.

"Hey, don't look serious. All-Star Weekend is a huge party. Don't put too much emphasis on winning or losing, just enjoy it!" Seeing Yiyang staring outside, he can see clearly, sitting next to Yiyang Nowitzki also patted this guy on the shoulder.

When he and Cuban watched the video of the game at Yiyang University, they never thought that the Chinese could become an All-Star so quickly. Nowitzki is already a frequent visitor to the All-Star Weekend, but the Germans believe that Yiyang will also become a "VIP" on the All-Star Game list in the future!

"I only watched the All-Star game on TV before." Although he has played professional basketball for half a season, the boy was still a little nervous when he thought of his upcoming appearance in the star-studded All-Star weekend.

"Trust my boy, it's more interesting to experience it yourself than watching it on TV!" Nowitzki finished speaking, and the bus stopped. Suddenly, countless fans and reporters swarmed like ants who saw the cake.

The police officers in Los Angeles held hands to besiege the city wall, and barely opened a trail for Yiyang and Dirk.

"Let's go kid, the crazy weekend has begun!" Nowitz got up, got off the bus, and waved to the fans around him.

Countless fans wearing Mavericks jerseys made their most enthusiastic shouts, and many people who were not Mavericks fans also joined in the excitement.

Yiyang got out of the car behind Dirk, and he didn't interact with the fans when he was dull. But what was unexpected is that when Yiyang appeared in the eyes of everyone, many fans actually shouted his name directly.

The fans were restless behind the wall of people surrounded by the police. Some of them raised signs related to Yiyang, while others broke their throats directly. And what is unexpected is that there are not only Chinese fans, but also many local American fans. It seems that Yiyang's influence is no longer limited to his compatriots. This guy's excellent performance in the past half season has been recognized by everyone.

"Hey, I really didn't expect this kid in your country to be so popular." Mourin, who was crowded in the crowd, was surrounded by many American colleagues, and this made Mourin full of pride.

"Hey, don't be so cold, man. Did you see that, they like you!" Dirk didn't expect Yiyang to be today's protagonist, so he stabbed the Chinese with his elbow and motioned him to go with him. The fans interact.

If professional players refer to a full range of professions, then Yiyang is obviously unqualified. He is only professional on the basketball court. Under the basketball court, Yiyang doesn't seem to match the term "professional player" at all.

After Dirk’s "pointing", Yiyang signed a few fans lamely, and then nodded with the fans with a stiff smile on the rocks on the beach in Los Angeles.

Although Yiyang is not doing well enough, the fans seem to be happier. After all, this guy's distinctive character is one of the reasons why he is attractive.

With the support of the fans, it took Dirk and Yiyang 20 minutes to complete the distance that would normally be completed in 2 minutes. When the two of them squeezed into Staples for all their hardships, Yiyang, who thought he could breathe a sigh of relief, realized that this crazy weekend had just begun!

Advertising shooting, interviews arranged by NBA officials, fans Jialianhua... Inside the Staples Center, there are far more activities than outside the arena.

Before Yiyang realized what was happening, two official NBA staff led Yiyang and Dirk to a place covered with black cloth.

Dirk went to the locker room to change clothes as familiarly as possible, but Yiyang was still stunned.

"Sir, the dressing room is over there." It wasn't until a petite female photographer's assistant talked to Yiyang that he realized that the NBA official wanted to shoot him and Dirk for a set of pre-All-Star weekend publicity.

After changing their clothes and coming out, Yiyang and Dirk took various interactive poses according to the photographer's request. For example, hook shoulders and back, for example, two people standing together with their hands around the chest back to back...The NBA's official intention is very clear, that is, to highlight the concept of Yiyang and Dirk Dallas dual-core. After all, the last time two Mavericks players were selected for the All-Star Weekend at the same time, it was a combination of Kidd and Nowitzki. In this group of photos, there are also some meanings of Yiyang inheriting Kidd.

After the official shooting of the NBA, Dirk has a Nike advertising campaign to participate in. And Yiyang will also take a few photos of all-star color sneakers for Adidas. These things, Bill Duffy had already explained clearly to Yiyang.

After that, the two met again in the media reception room of the Staples Center to participate in the press conference before the All-Star Game.

Although several celebrities have been baptized, the reporters below felt a little excited when they saw Dirk and Yiyang walk into the room at the same time.

"Congratulations, Dirk, for being selected for the All-Star Game again, what do you want to say to the fans?" At the beginning of the press conference, the reporters first focused on the old star.

"Thank you for your support. It is my honor to be here to perform for the fans." Dirk's smile is very amiable, which contrasts sharply with Yiyang's stiff smile.

"Last season, you and Jason Kidd were selected to the All-Star team. But this year, the player who participated in the All-Star Game with you has become Yi. Do you think you can succeed Jason as the Mavericks star point guard? After that, the reporters began to connect the two. Yiyang didn't like to talk, so the reporters dug news from Nowitzki.

"I think? I think he is already an indispensable star player in the Mavericks team. As we all know, my teammate is the only player among the rookies in the 2010 All-Star game. In fact, there are many simultaneous players in NBA history. Players selected for the All-Star rookie game and the main game, such as compatriot Yao Ming, and current superstars James, Wade, etc., have participated in the All-Star rookie game and the main game at the same time. A player can participate in the All-Star at the same time. The rookie game and the main game show that he has shown very good strength and potential when he entered the league. Look at these names, now, he is already one of them!" After Dirk finished speaking, he turned around. Chong Yiyang blinked. It can be seen that the two All-Stars, one young and one young, are very harmonious both on the court and in private.

"Then you too, being selected for both the rookie game and the main game at the same time is of great significance to you."

"I am very happy to be recognized by everyone. Of course, this is closely linked to the help of my teammates. Without them to help me adapt to this league, I would not have where I am." Yiyang's well-preserved answer obviously cannot satisfy the reporters' ambitions. . So, these guys who were not too big of a problem immediately asked the next question.

"Do you think that next year, you can be selected for the All-Star starting lineup? If not, do you think you will be selected within a few years?" Hearing this question, Dirk shook his head. The reporters nowadays are getting more and more naughty.

"It is every player's dream to be selected for the All-Star starter, and it is also my goal to get the recognition of the fans. I don't know if I can be selected for the All-Star starter. I only know that I will do my best every day." Yiyang smiled stiffly. The plain and tasteless answers made the reporters instantly give up the idea of ​​digging up the best news.

The reason why fans like Yiyang is because of his performance on the court. But for reporters, the players' off-court performance is more attractive than on-court performance.

In this way, the regular All-Star Weekend press conference belonging to Yiyang and Nowitzki is over~www.novelmtl.com~ Although it is said to be an "offseason", for players participating in the All-Star Game, This weekend was not much easier than match day.

Yiyang and Nowitzki arrived at the Staples Center at one noon, and did not complete all the tasks until 5:30 in the afternoon, giving them a real break.

When the two panting guys met again in front of the Staples Center, it was sunset in Los Angeles.

"I'm fairly familiar with Los Angeles, how about it? Let's have dinner with my family." Dirk suggested that Yiyang be with himself. Anti-Wenxue will not arrive until tomorrow.

"Um...I have an appointment with Dirk, you and your family have fun by yourself." Yiyang declined Dirk's invitation gently. Dirk was not angry, but rather curious. .

"Have an appointment? Didn't you say that your mother will arrive in Los Angeles tomorrow?"

"Yes... it's Vignalie. She is coming to Los Angeles to participate in the NBA Masters."

"That Italian girl?" Dirk heard Vignali's name and smirked.

"That's right."

"Hey, pay attention to rest, man. All-star game, don't play it badly." With an obscene smile on his face, the German patted Yiyang on the shoulder.

"How come you have become exactly the same as Jeter." Yiyang looked at Nowitzki's expression and shook his head.

"Maybe you think this is just an ordinary dinner, but for that Italian girl..." Dirk paused. He really wanted to see Yiyang, this wooden bump, besides basketball and his mother. what. "For a bold Italian girl, tonight is a romantic date, boy."

appointment?

There does not seem to be an explanation for this word in Yiyang’s dictionary...
