Chapter 406: Should I play in the rookie game or not?
There is a saying that "the more you think about it, the angrier it will be; if you take a step back, the more you think about it, the more you will suffer!"
No, the All-Star Game is coming soon, and this is the first time in my career that I have been selected for the All-Star Game, so I have to find a chance to show my face!
Stealing the show in the main game?
It seems that I don’t have enough coffee spots!
Rookie competition for MVP?
It seems that my competitive advantage is not as good as that of Wang Zelin.
After some thought, Lillard believed that the best time to show his face was to sign up for the other three individual events.
Skills Challenge, Three-Point Shootout Contest and Slam Dunk Contest!
Among these three individual competitions, the most popular one is the Dunk Contest, followed by the Three-Point Shootout Contest, and finally the Skills Challenge.
I already won the Skills Challenge Championship once last year, so if I win it again this year, it won’t feel very fresh, unless I can guarantee that I will win it three times in a row!
However, since the inception of the Skills Challenge, it seems that no one has won three consecutive championships. The difficulty of winning three consecutive championships may be more difficult than winning the Three-Point Shooting Contest or the Slam Dunk Contest.
At this moment, Lillard began to have a headache. If he had known earlier, he should not have signed up for so many individual events. He should have concentrated on one event to increase his chances of winning the championship!
It's not like now, if you think about one thing or another, if this continues, I'm afraid you won't even win a championship.
After having breakfast for almost an hour, Lillard finally decided on the individual event he would specialize in:
Three point shooting contest!
Yes, he finally set his goal to win the Three-Point Shootout Contest.
The skills challenge is too random, and one mistake might mean you won't even make it to the preliminary rounds.
As for the slam dunk contest, don’t look at the slam dunk contest. The popularity is much lower now than before. But the league lacks everything except birds and beasts with great running and jumping abilities. If you want to win in this competition
Laurel, for him, is quite difficult.
When he thought of this, Lillard wanted to slap himself. He had been idle and sick for a long time to participate in some slam dunk contest?
After Dandan felt sad for a while, Lillard began to make a plan. In the next few days, he began to practice three-pointers in an orderly manner!
…
…
Another day passed, on the morning of the 14th, Wang Zelin couldn't wait to board the plane flying to New Orleans.
Of course, Will Barton, Adams, Lillard and Aldridge were also traveling with him.
Among the few people, in addition to preparing for the rookie competition, there is another thing to solve, and that is when the dance troupe performs.
At this time, Wang Zelin had to praise James again!
It has to be said that when making friends with James, most of the time he will consider all aspects of things in advance, and all Wang Zelin has to do is to meet him on time!
That's why Wang Zelin always feels like "being usurped for power".
As the leader of the dance team, I might as well leave it to James, who does his job much better than me.
Last night, Jay Chou sent the choreography video of the song of the same name to Wang Zelin via email.
Although he himself has also engaged in music, he is the only one who knows how valuable it is.
Therefore, professional matters should be left to professionals!
No, after Jay Chou heard that Wang Zelin had assigned him the most important choreography job, he was so excited on the other end of the phone that he almost lost his way.
You know, in a few days this dance will be used as a warm-up show during the NBA All-Star Game. The number of people watching it at the same time around the world will definitely be measured in hundreds of millions.
Ahem, don’t look at every Jay Chou album in recent years. In Southeast Asia alone, hundreds of millions of people are listening or watching the album MV at the same time. But when he choreographs for others, it’s still on such a high-standard stage. He is really
first!
However, after the choreography work was entrusted by Wang Zelin, Jay Chou still made a decision on the spot and agreed.
What's even better is that just two days after Wang Zelin called to invite Jay Chou to perform live on the night of the 11th, Wang Zelin had just finished playing the Eagles in an away game and received the complete choreography video.
While taking into account efficiency, quality is also outstanding!
Sometimes I have to admit that the ridicule of later generations of netizens is right. Before Jay Chou fell in love with milk tea and got married, he was absolutely invincible in the field of music!
James' side.
After receiving Wang Zelin's email, he called all the members of the dance troupe and arrived at a previously rented arena in advance to wait for everyone's arrival.
It is worth mentioning that he also had people install two rows of equal-length mirrors on the left and right in the arena. In this way, you can practice both ball and dance in the arena. When you get tired, you can change to another one.
, perfect connection!
After getting off the plane, everyone went about their business.
Will Barton and Adams went out to play together. As for Wang Zelin, Lillard and Aldridge, they came to the arena rented by James and met everyone first.
At 11 o'clock in the morning, the dance troupe members had already gathered.
Trail Blazers trio: Wang Zelin, Lillard, Aldridge.
Heat duo: James and Wade!
After all, they are the James and his wife. James is here, so how can they miss Wade?
Besides, Wade was a member of the dance troupe last year. Although Wade was extremely ashamed of his awkward dance at the time, but when he thinks about the heated discussion among fans afterwards...
Mmm, it smells so good!
In addition to the two new members Curry and Love, although Duncan and Howard are not joining this year, the number of members of the dance troupe has not decreased but increased, from 6 last year to 7.
Jay Chou's choreography is not very long, only 4 and a half minutes. The content is specific to the positions of the formation, performed individually, and finally the collective ending of the seven people.
It's a one-stop service, everything that needs to be considered is taken into consideration, and Wang Zelin and the others only need to be responsible for the step-by-step practice.
In the next hour, everyone was practicing their dance steps. Wang Zelin, after practicing for a few minutes, was basically familiar with everything!
This makes other members of the dance company even more certain: Wang Zelin's artistic talent is definitely an extremely rare type among NBA players!
It seems like this guy is really not bragging!
If he hadn't played in the NBA and chosen the path of professional basketball, Wang Zelin might have become an artist!
However, Wang Zelin is secretly thinking about whether he will play in this year's All-Star Rookie Game?
If you go to fight, it always feels like you are bullying someone!
No matter how the competition system is changed, Lillard will definitely form a team with himself. In this way, not only will the game experience of others be poor, but his one-sided abuse will also be very boring!
