After the game, Li Kaiming received the MVP trophy of the Rookie Challenge from Adam Silver, the then NbA vice president in charge of the Development League.
Although this trophy is not valuable, it is the first official trophy that Li Kaiming received after entering NBA.
Tonight, all the players were like stars over the moon, surrounding Li Kaiming and Xiao Hua in the center of the court. Under the gaze of tens of thousands of people at Staples, Li Kaiming raised the ball that symbolized the best player tonight with one hand. Trophy.
The audience who came to Staples were also very generous. After Li Kaiming raised the trophy, they spontaneously started shouting "mVp! mVp! mVp!"
The surrounding players also applauded and congratulated Li Kaiming on winning the trophy.
Among the people present, Griffin may be the only one who is unhappy. As a player of the host country, he is still struggling to perform on the court, just because, as his agent said, from the mVp of this Rookie Challenge Will we start to gradually overtake Li Kaiming?
Unfortunately, things went against his wishes. The "Longzhong Pair" given to him by his agent died before the first step, and the first step was not successful.
Even if he didn't get the mVp in the rookie game, the mVp was taken away by Li Kaiming. Now the gap between him and the latter is even bigger!
Griffin wants to cry but has no tears!
Jiang Shan, who was sitting in the front row of the audience, applauded and looked at the boy in the field with a proud expression.
From today on, she no longer has to hide her emotions, because the most dazzling star on the court belongs to her!
After the award ceremony, Li Kaiming was about to go back to the locker room to change clothes, when Elliott Williams suddenly came over from the side.
Li Kaiming turned around and asked doubtfully, "What do you want to do with this expression on your face?"
Williams chuckled, then scratched his head and asked sheepishly, "Well, Li, can you let me touch your trophy?"
Li Kaiming:......
Although there was nothing wrong with what this guy said the whole time, he just felt a little weird.
But after all, he is his good brother, just a rookie mVp, let alone this, it is the regular season mVp and the championship trophy. If the brother wants to touch it, he has to let him touch it!
Li Kaiming casually threw the trophy towards Williams and then walked to the locker room.
Williams' expression changed, he caught the trophy with nervous hands, and then complained, "This is the MVP of the rookie game, can't you be more careful?"
Li Kaiming, who was walking in front, waved his hand without looking back, "It doesn't matter, it's just a rookie competition mVp!"
Williams: Damn, I accidentally let you show off again! I should just let it fall to the ground and see if you can still pretend!
But having said that, Williams still cherishes this trophy. After all, although it seems easy for Li Kaiming to get it, for him, he can only think about it in his dreams, so he won the trophy after After that, I wiped it with my hand and observed it carefully...
What Li Kaiming and Williams didn't notice was that their actions and conversations were all clearly seen by Griffin who was following not far away!
At this time, Griffin's face was almost green!
If you don’t want it, you can give it to me! You don’t lack this thing, I do!
He couldn't wait to rush up and snatch the trophy from Williams' arms and keep it for himself.
Griffin: Jealousy has changed me beyond recognition, jealousy has torn me apart!
Li Kaiming's victory in the Rookie Game mVp also made him the most popular guy during the All-Star Weekend so far, especially since he also announced his girlfriend before the All-Star Game, which immediately made him more popular. First place in the All-Stars this time!
"What? Li Kaiming has a girlfriend? No, I don't believe it!"
"A talented man and a beautiful woman are a match made in heaven. Is it your turn as a monster to oppose me?"
"Besides, it seems to me that the person who doesn't believe it is a man..."
"It's so outrageous!"
Li Kaiming never misses communicating with fans. He won a trophy in the rookie competition and also has a girlfriend. Of course, he has to share this good news with his fans.
So he posted a photo of himself and Jiang Shan holding the Rookie Competition mVp trophy, and then posted it on his personal social media.
"I accidentally got another trophy, how embarrassing~"
"Woooooo, I bless you, I'll kill you! I bless you, I'll kill you!" A fan who looked like he was stimulated left a message below.
But soon a sensible fan sent a reply.
"Check the mental status upstairs."
Li Kaiming smiled and liked this comment.
After finishing today's schedule, Li Kaiming and Jiang Shan spent a wonderful night in a luxury hotel in Los Angeles.
Of course, the paid plot with Jiang Shan still didn’t happen, only a goodnight kiss before going to bed.
Li Kaiming is not in a hurry. Haven't you heard that women only affect the speed at which I draw my sword? Although he is a basketball player and does not need to draw the knife, since it will affect the speed of drawing the knife, it will also affect the speed of his dunk!
Affect his dunk? Absolutely not! He will participate in the slam dunk contest the next day!
The second day's events are also very rich. Although this is nominally the NbA's All-Star Weekend, the NbA will also invite celebrities from all walks of life to participate in the Masters Game, inviting wNbA players and NbA players to form a three-person team for a technical competition. There will be a G League All-Star Game.
It can be said that the All-Star Weekend is a basketball feast for the entire American League, not just the NBA.
However, among the events on the second day, the most eye-catching ones are the three-point contest and the dunk contest, especially the latter. The famous dunk contest in history will become a classic shot of the NBA, such as Jordan and Wilkins back then. The duel between half-human and half-god Vince Carter, and Kobe Bryant wearing the No. 8 jersey...
Every time the dunk contest is mentioned, this group of people is a memory that cannot be ignored.
But before showing off to the Staples audience, Li Kaiming had to show off a little first, because the three-point shooting contest preceded the slam dunk contest.
This arrangement is very good. It is very friendly to players like Li Kaiming who are proficient in three-pointers and dunks. It takes care of the possibility that he may not feel good in the three-point contest due to the loss of physical strength due to dunking.
Eight o'clock in the evening, star-studded Staples Center.
Countless stars and players, as well as prominent figures in Los Angeles, are sitting in the audience, waiting for the start of tonight's game.
Tonight's broadcaster tNt invited four star players to be the commentators tonight, namely current players Dwight Howard, Kevin Harlan, and flying pig Charles Barkley, who is very familiar to Li Kaiming, and Ray Jimmy. Le.
The lineup of this commentary team can be said to be very luxurious. Kevin Harlan wore a headset on his head, glanced at the three people around him, and then said with a smile, "Guys, it's time for the classic pre-game prediction session again! But Predicting our bet this time is not about kissing a donkey’s ass, Charles, you don’t have to worry!”
Bacchus burst out laughing, "It doesn't matter if I kiss the donkey's butt, I believe in Li Kaiming!"
"We all know that you are a staunch supporter of Li Kaiming, so I am more concerned about what Dwight and Reggie think!" Harlan's next words made Barkley choke and roll his eyes.
Howard hesitated for a while, and then said Li Kaiming's name, "We haven't beaten them this season because their three-pointers were so outrageous. Others didn't give me this feeling."
Reggie Miller reminded Howard, "Dwight, this three-point contest is different from shooting three-pointers in the game. What if Li Kaiming is not good at three-pointers at this pace?"
"Then who do you think will be the champion this time?" Harlan's eyes lit up after hearing Reggie Miller's words, thinking that the latter would have a different opinion than the other two, and immediately asked with expectant eyes.
"Without a doubt, I choose Li Kaiming!" Reggie Miller smiled and told the camera his answer.
cut!
The remaining three complained in unison!
You old boy said so much, what do you think you have? Isn’t it still the same as the one we chose?
So, before the game started, the four commentators in the commentary box had already reached an agreement on the championship prediction.
The other contestants must have never imagined that they would be sentenced to death by these commentators before they even showed up to perform...
Okay, now, Li Kaiming doesn't need to talk rubbish himself. These commentators have already helped him tell the rest of the people: Are you here to compete for second place?
The current three-point contest rules are like this. There are five points outside the three-point line, two bottom corners, two forty-five degrees and the top of the arc. There are five positions in total. There will be a ball rack at each position. There are five balls on the rack, four of which look like normal game balls and are worth 1 point each, and there is also a blue and white AbA style basketball, also called a flower ball, which is worth 2 points each. In other words, currently The full score for the three-point contest is 30 points.
Players choose one bottom corner to start, and then take shots in order within one minute. The final scores are compared. In the first round, 7 will advance to 3, and in the second round, the champion will be determined.
After the players were ready, the first one to appear was the well-known three-point shooter Ray Allen. It must be said that Ray Allen is indeed the top three-point shooter in history. He shot all 25 three times, five times and two times. The ball finally scored 20 points!
If others don't feel explosive, Ray Allen has already locked up a spot in the finals!
The next five people also played, James Jones had 16 points, Pierce had 12 points, Wright had 11 points, and Daniel Gibson had 7 points. The Oklahoma City single man scored the lowest 6 points in the game!
You know, the basketball god Jordan, who was ridiculed for even competing for first place in the three-point contest, scored the lowest score in history with only 5 points. In other words, Durant scored the highest score in history in tonight's three-point contest. Second, as expected, Durant and the number 2 are inseparable.
Then there is only one person left!
All eyes turned to Li Kaiming. Li Kaiming stood up from the waiting seat, then high-fived several opponents around him, and then stood in the bottom corner.
He lowered his head slightly, aimed at the basketball on the rack, and waited for the signal to sound.
beep!
A familiar whistle sounded, and the timer on the backboard started to beat!
Li Kaiming's eyes flashed, and then he picked up the first ball and started throwing it towards the basket!
state!
As a crisp sound of iron was heard, several people in the commentary box raised their eyebrows!
state! There was another sound of iron striking!
Durant, who was sitting in the waiting room, raised the corners of his mouth, as if he no longer had to be the tailgater tonight...
