Three days of commercial activities and dance training rehearsals are also over.
On the 16th, Wang Zelin and the members of the dance troupe got together in the morning, conducted a serious rehearsal, and then participated in a roundtable meeting and charity activities.
After three years, Wang Zelin has become familiar with the series of procedures on the day of the race.
During the interviews, the media and public opinion were all heading towards tonight’s opening show.
Fans also want to know what new tricks Wang Zelin can come up with this year.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, after congratulations to the school for special groups, the six-member dance troupe rehearsed again.
As the opening show approached, Wang Zelin felt more and more ashamed and embarrassed every time he practiced.
But fortunately, every time he planned to retreat, James and Curry would always strongly encourage him.
He never expected that the two sons of Akron would actually reach an agreement on dancing.
That's all, as long as I'm not embarrassed, others will be embarrassed.
Finally, he thought this.
…
…
Since the 2013 All-Star Game, many fans have turned on their TVs, computers, and mobile phones early, waiting for the dance group headed by Wang Zelin to perform the opening song.
If this happened in the past, no one would care about other performances except the All-Star Game.
I'm afraid in many people's minds, when it comes to the performances during the All-Star Game, the first thing that comes to mind subconsciously is the 2003 All-Star halftime, when Mariah Carey sang "Here" to pay tribute to Jordan, and Jordan burst into tears.
Famous scene with full eyes.
Apart from this classic touching moment, only the All-Star Weekend during the O'Neal era can leave some classic scenes among the fan base.
But now, countless fans have become accustomed to the opening prepared by Wang Zelin and are looking forward to it extremely.
At 7:30 pm US time and 8:30 am China time, the All-Star Game kicked off at Madison Square Garden.
Jenna and her sisters watched from the front row.
As the live spotlight hit the center of the stage, the host in a blue suit began to introduce the star players to the melody of the live music.
First the substitute,
After that.
When Carmelo Anthony from the East comes on the scene,
The cheers of the fans at the scene reached a climax instantly.
The Knicks are terrible this season.
It can be said that he has dived all the way to the bottom of the league, but after all, he is the only star selected for the All-Star Game by the Knicks and Nets, the organizers of the All-Star Game. The cheers at the scene were very enthusiastic.
As the substitutes and all-star players all appeared, the cheers and applause at the scene became louder and louder.
But then, some fans discovered... there seemed to be a few missing.
At this moment, the inside of the arena went dark, and then the host shouted:
"Ladies and gentlemen! Next, let us warmly welcome the opening performance of the "Kini Too Beautiful" dance group composed of six all-stars!"
But as several large spotlights hit the center of the stage, six giant pandas walking upright appeared.
As the rhythmic music played, people's bodies began to sway.
Given that the opening shows performed by Wang Zelin and his group in the past two years have always been local and local, this year, they are ready to continue the same style.
The lights dimmed and the melody sounded. When the fans heard the music, they secretly thought, "I knew it." But after seeing the six cute giant pandas, they suddenly felt that the song had returned to its native land, but it did not
It influenced Wang Zelin and his team to act cute on the field as pandas.
There is a saying that goes well,
It's shameful to act cute,
But it works!
The fans at the scene burst into cheers instantly.
The All-Stars had just been introduced, and everyone belatedly knew who the six people performing on the field were.
This earthy and earthy dance is so skillful that its execution is so impressive.
Especially in the final stage, when this group of big men with an average height of more than two meters began to roll around without faces, a large number of fans stood up and cheered with their hands raised high.
"Wow, but the wonderful performance of the Gini Taimei Dance Troupe, I think everyone should know who the dance troupe members are by now, please shout out their names!"
After the dance, the host came to the front of the dance troupe and shouted loudly.
Curry, Harden, James, Wang Zelin, Aldridge, and Lillard stood in a row and took off their hoods one after another.
Along with the restless cheers of the fans at the scene, the lights dimmed and the performance ended!
The cheers at the scene reached a peak! The all-stars who had already appeared on the stage also whistled and applauded constantly.
Durant was on the sidelines at this time, listening to the cheers that had not been heard for a long time, and felt inexplicably sour in his heart.
"Kevin, I have already agreed with Wang to join them on stage next year. Do you want to come with me?"
At this time, Westbrook's inappropriate voice came.
Even his good brothers betrayed him?
Hearing this, Durant looked at the applause and cheers enjoyed by James and Wang Zelin, his two biggest rivals, on the court, and his heart became even more sour.
…
…
Returning to the locker room prepared by the league for them alone, Wang Zelin saw James, Harden, and Curry celebrating wantonly; saw Lillard and Aldridge, who seemed to be discussing something; and listened to the fans outside for a long time.
Endless cheers and warm applause...
He was very satisfied with today's performance!
The entertainment time is over and it’s time for the official competition round.
After a brief celebration, several people began to change jerseys and training clothes, and then returned to the scene under the leadership of the arriving staff.
At this time, female singer Ariana Grande, who had just received a Grammy nomination for Best Duo/Group Performance of the Year last year, completed her performance, and the lights were turned on to both parties.
The host introduced:
“Now let’s bring in this year’s Eastern Conference All-Stars:
John Wall!
Kyle Lowry!
LeBron James!
Carmelo Anthony!
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! And DeMarcus Cousins, the first-time center!"
Then came the Western Conference All-Stars, Curry, Harden, Durant, and Aldridge appearing one after another...
"Welcome to the 2015 NBA All-Star Dance, Wang~Ze~Lin!!!"
When Wang Zelin stood up, the host called out Wang Zelin's name.
As the most popular player for this year's regular season MVP, cheers of "mvp" immediately erupted from the scene.
After the players on the court have finished warming up, the All-Star Game begins immediately.
Players from the East and West came to the center circle.
Wang Zelin and Cousins faced each other. The two were talking and laughing, preparing to jump the ball.
According to traditional practice, the opening of the All-Star Game is mainly for entertainment. In addition, he and Cousins not only have no hatred in private, but they even get along well, so the two of them don't have the usual game on their faces.
The serious expression inside.
only……
"Snapped!"
The referee threw the ball up, and Wang Zelin leaped high, beating Cousins and winning the ball for the Western Conference Stars.
Hey, the personal relationship is good, but in the opening jump ball, he still maintained his dominance, which made Cousins feel helpless.
The Western team attacks.
Curry advanced to the frontcourt with the ball, and Wang Zelin went directly to the basket and reached for the ball.
At this time, Durant also stretched out his hand at a 45-degree angle on the left to signal Curry to pass the ball.
this……
Curry just hesitated and quickly handed the ball to Wang Zelin inside.
On the one hand, it’s because Wang Zelin is the top vote-getter for this year’s All-Stars and the captain of the Western Conference team; on the other hand, I want to express my gratitude to Wang Zelin for taking me to play during the opening show.
"whee!"
After receiving the ball, Wang Zelin looked at Durant with his head full of black lines, smiled at him, and then started to push in.
Seeing this, Durant's face turned darker again.
Behind him, Cousins hurriedly tried to force Wang Zelin away.
Obviously, when it comes to actually facing Wang Zelin, his subconscious still wants to defend seriously.
However, Wang Zelin did not use his strength to get beaten, but performed his sky hook!
Bang!
After bumping into Cousins, Wang Zelin suddenly turned around, leaned against Cousins, grabbed the ball with his right arm and hooked it high.
Swish——!
The basketball drew a perfect arc in the air and finally fell into the net.
2:0, the Western team won first.
Wall received the pass, quickly advanced to the frontcourt with the ball, passed Curry in one step, and went straight to the basket.
At this moment, only the image of himself leaping into the sky and dunking was left in his mind.
"Bang!"
However, something unexpected happened on the flank.
Wang Zelin took a heavy step and rose up.
"Snapped!"
After gliding in the air for a certain distance, he swung one arm behind his head to pick melons, and pinned Wall's dunk on the backboard.
"Oh ho ho ho!"
At the beginning, he contributed a wonderful hot pot shot, which made the whole audience cheer.
"Wow!"
In the commentary box, O'Neal exclaimed in surprise: "An incredible block by Wang! I think not only John Wall, but all the players on the Eastern Conference must be careful next!"
Immediately afterwards, Barkley on the side also said: "It seems that our Chinese youngster does not intend to simply play tonight!"
On the field.
Glancing at Wang Zelin, Wall's face was as dark as carbon, and he complained: "Man, you are an All-Star now, why are you so serious!"
"Hey, you should get used to it! I assure you, this is definitely an accident." Wang Zelin replied with a playful smile.
Accident?
Wall rolled his eyes and turned away.
"..."
Wang Zelin was left standing there in embarrassment.
The Eastern team attacks.
James organized an attack from the outside and immediately found Anthony who was cutting in. His eyes lit up and he lobbed the ball in.
"drink!"
Anthony went straight to the basket, grabbed the ball with one hand, glided, and slammed it into the basket.
boom--!
As the host, Anthony scored the first point of the Eastern team.
"yeah!"
The surrounding fans also gave Gua Ge a lot of face and stood up and applauded to celebrate him.
"Ouch! A powerful response! An air connection from two representatives of the 2003 Platinum Generation!" Barkley shouted excitedly.
"Charles, look at Dwayne off the court, hahaha, his little expression is so funny?"
O'Neal's focus is not on the court, but on Wade off the court.
At this time, the camera also showed Wade at the right time.
Sure enough, people quickly saw Wade's rather strange face on the big screen, as if he was...jealous?
On the way back to defense.
Wang Zelin also specifically found Wall and winked at him, seeming to say:
Well, let me just say that it was not intentional.
However, what he received was another white eye from Wall.
The game continues.
Except for a nail-biting shot from King Zelin to Wall in the opening game, the entire first half was catering to the fans' preferences and began to attack like crazy without much defense.
Entering the second half, the defense gradually strengthened, and there were more and more consensual physical collisions. The scene gradually became filled with the smell of gunpowder.
After three quarters, 120:115, the Western team trailed the Eastern team by 5 points.
As the game entered the final quarter, the two sides began to engage in physical confrontation, and the defensive intensity also continued to escalate.
At the same time, because the Trail Blazers have the best record in the Western Conference this season, Terry Stotts has been able to serve as the coach of the Western Conference team for three consecutive years.
In the 6th minute of the fourth quarter, 143:129, the Western team was already 14 points behind, and the point difference between the two sides reached more than double digits.
At this time, Coach Terry handed over the first timeout after entering the final quarter.
Then, Durant, Curry, and Gasol were replaced, and Lillard, Aldridge, and Wang Zelin were replaced at the same time.
This move instantly attracted everyone's attention.
"It looks like the Western Team is preparing to chase points?"
"No, it should be said that Wang is planning to re-election as AMVP this year!"
As Barkley and O'Neal expected, Coach Terry's arrangement was precisely to create the best environment for Wang Zelin to compete for AMVP.
Ask yourself, who doesn’t have selfish desires in his heart?
If someone is truly beautiful, then he or she is not a human being. He should be called a saint!
Wang Zelin, who considers himself not a saint, is naturally full of interest in the AMVP of the Stars of the Stars during the All-Star Weekend.
On the other side of the East, Lloyd Pierce, who was serving as the head coach of the division star team for the first time, also saw the opponent's plan.
However, he had no intention of letting Wang Zelin get his wish.
You know, the Eastern team has lost to the Western team in the All-Star game for several years in a row. It's rare that they are now leading by more than ten points. He doesn't want to give up the victory to others.
To be honest, he was quite looking forward to the Eastern team he led being able to break the Western team's monopoly and win the All-Star Game again.
This will also be beneficial to the growth of his reputation.
Not only him, but James and others also have this idea more or less.
Although there is only one All-Star Game a year, it is precisely because there is only one game that it attracts extra attention from the outside world.
As a group of star players representing the Eastern Conference, losing to stars from another division for several consecutive years is, in a sense, a slap in the face.
Therefore, this year, from the coach to the players, the entire Eastern team wants to compete with the Western team to the end.
Return to the field.
The Western team attacks.
Lillard passed the ball lightly, and Wang Zelin grabbed the basketball and smashed it into the air against the defender.
Beep!
When the whistle blows, there will be an additional penalty.
"Whoosh!"
Effortlessly, he hit a 2+1 as soon as he came up, which also completely sounded the horn of the Western team's counterattack.
