Not winning the skills competition did not affect Li Yan's good mood.
He sat on the sidelines and had a lively chat with Swift. Iverson couldn't stand the "sour smell" of love and moved to another place to breathe fresh air.
Not far from Li Yan and "Taylor Swift" are Tony Parker and his girlfriend Eva.
This is another cross-border combination between the NBA and the entertainment industry.
In 2005, Eva became one of the most popular actresses in the United States because of her appearance in the American TV series "Desperate Housewives"; in 2006, Eva and Spurs star Tony Parker, who was 7 years younger than her, announced that they were getting together.
In Li Yan's impression, Parker and Eva's marriage ended in divorce. The reason was that Parker secretly engaged in "landlord fighting" with the wife of teammate Brunk Barry.
Li Yan simply said hello to Parker. After all, this kind of comrade who misses other people's wives is really very dangerous.
Unexpectedly, the white wife of "Son of the Wind" Steve Nash gave birth to a black child. In the end, the whole world knew that Nash was cuckolded by a black man.
Li Yan didn't want such a situation to happen to him.
…………
Wade defended the skills competition with the best result in history.
"The Flash" is indeed very capable. If it were not for injuries and some uncontrollable factors, his historical status should have been higher.
In the final analysis, the NBA is a business. Wade has never received a maximum salary in his glorious career, which made Li Yan full of emotions in his previous life.
In this business alliance where interests are paramount, if your boss has a relationship with you, it can only mean that he wants to steal your money.
The five players participating in this year's three-point contest are Dirk Nowitzki and John Terry of the Mavericks, Arenas of the Wizards, Damon Jones of the Cavaliers, Kapono of the Heat and Mike Miller of the Grizzlies.
Among them, Nowitzki was last year's three-point champion, and the German tank naturally looks forward to defending its title in Las Vegas.
In addition to his teammate Terry, his strongest opponent in the defending journey is the Wizards' "General" Arenas.
The first player to appear was Kapono from the Miami Heat. With the help of O'Neal on the sidelines, although Kapono performed poorly in the first two shooting points, he made all 5 shots from the top of the circle. Kapono's final score was 19 points!
The second player to appear was Mike Miller. The Grizzlies general performed poorly at the first shooting point, but in the end he did pretty well, scoring 18 points.
The third player to appear was Jason Terry. The Mavericks' main point guard seemed to have a too fast pace, which obviously affected his shooting percentage. In the end, Terry's score was only 10 points.
The fourth player to appear was Damon Jones from the Cleveland Cavaliers. He did not show his best strength at the last point. In the end, Damon Jones scored 15 points.
The fifth player to appear was Arenas. "Agent No. 0" performed extremely accurately at two 45-degree angles. In the end, Arenas scored 23 points!
The last player to appear was defending champion Nowitzki. Under the attention of Mavericks boss Cuban, Nowitzki withstood the pressure and scored 20 points.
In this way, Arenas, Nowitzki and Kapono advanced to the finals.
The first player to appear in the final was Kapono. The Heat youngster's performance was almost perfect. He performed averagely at five shooting points and finally scored 24 points!
O'Neal, Wade and Mourning on the sidelines all stood up and applauded Kapono!
Then Nowitzki came on the scene, and the always stable Nowitzki performed abnormally. He only scored 10 points.
The last one to appear was Arenas. As a result, the "general" performed mediocre this time. When there was no hope of winning the championship at the last shooting point, Arenas actually made a very outrageous one-handed shot. In the end, Arenas got the 17 points.
In this way, the three-point contest directly caused a big upset. The little-known Kapono unexpectedly defeated the "German King" Nowitzki and "The General" Arenas to win this year's three-point contest.
The three-point contest is over and the finale dunk contest finally begins.
The four people invited to participate were the previous year's dunk champion Nate Robinson, Gerald Green, Dwight Howard and Tyrus Thomas. All four of them are regulars in the top ten.
Of course, many fans who wanted to see the big names were still a little disappointed, but at this time, the five judges who walked out in suits and ties from the back were definitely the biggest names among the big names.
Julius Erving was the dunk king in 1976, Wilkins was the dunk king in 1985 and 1990, Jordan was the dunk king in 1987 and 1988, Kobe was the dunk king in 1997, and Carter was the dunk king in 2000. .
Such a luxurious judging panel can be called the first judging panel in history.
It is not even an exaggeration to say that even if they did not give 10 points, no one would dare to refute.
Maybe it’s because all the judges have seen big scenes, so this slam dunk contest is particularly strict.
In the first dunk of the game, Tyrus Thomas hit an alley-oop under his own crotch. Although it took some time, it was not bad to watch. As a result, the jury only gave 37 points. 37 points was also the first single score since 2004. Lowest score for dunks.
After the first round, the highest score was only 48 points, and the second highest score was 47 points. Both deductions were made by Gerald Green, who also successfully advanced to the finals.
Another person who advanced to the finals was Nate Robinson, who scored 45 points on both of his first two dunks.
It is worth mentioning that Howard delivered a "sticker dunk" in this dunk contest. When he completed the alley-oop with Nelson, he stuck a sticker of himself close to the top edge of the backboard. The height is incredible.
Such a creative dunk only scored 42 points.
After entering the finals, Nate Robinson made mistakes in both dunks and only scored 39 and 41 points respectively.
Gerald Green only scored 41 points in the first dunk. Fortunately, he used a big windmill to fly over the stage in the second dunk and received a perfect score. Finally, he won the championship with a total score of 91 points.
In the entire dunk contest, Jordan only scored 10 points for this last dunk.
I have to say that Boss Qiao is really strict.
Even sitting on the sidelines, Li Yan felt the pressure from the "old gangster", let alone the players in the competition.
After winning the championship, Gerald Green also said: "These referees are really nervous sitting on the sidelines and have to be a little creative because they have seen almost all dunks."
The funniest thing is that Jordan himself admitted that he was a little stricter.
Jordan said that he wanted to give young people a little encouragement so that they should not be complacent and be a little self-motivated.
Li Yan almost laughed in the audience. It seemed that Mr. Qiao had no idea how terrible he was.
Not everyone is like Iverson, Kobe, or Artest. If Kwame Brown were here, he would have a lot to say.
…………
After the dunk contest ended, Li Yan took "Taylor Swift" to Kobe to get his autograph.
Kobe knew the "art of war" and he still didn't stop recruiting when he signed autographs for "Taylor Swift".
"Taylor, if you play music, you must stay in Los Angeles a lot. It will be very convenient for Li to come to the Lakers to play, otherwise, if you two are separated..."
When I heard "Taylor Swift", I went, it makes so much sense! He immediately looked at Li Yan with big eyes.
Of course Li Yan couldn't agree. He was still staring at the "answer" if he knew it!
(Iverson: (•́へ•́╬)! Fire prevention, theft prevention, and Kobe Bryant prevention!)
