Chapter 799: The No. 1 Star in the League!

"Hello friends in front of the TV, welcome to the special program of Basketball Frontline. I am frontline reporter Wang Han."

"It's February 12th in the United States now and February 13th in Beijing time. The 2009 Phoenix All-Star Game that the whole world is looking forward to has not yet started, but in Phoenix, the atmosphere of the All-Star Weekend is already very strong. ”

"Following our footage, you can see that the urban area of ​​Phoenix is ​​not very big, but it is quite exquisite and clean. For this All-Star event, the entire Phoenix city has been fully prepared from top to bottom. ”

"We all know that competition for spots in this year's Phoenix All-Star and Western Conference All-Stars is fierce. Nash is the only Suns player to be selected for the All-Star Game. But you see, there is still no way to stop the people of Phoenix. enthusiasm."

"because……"

"This year's All-Star is Ye Si!"

"As we go along, we can see fans wearing the No. 9 jersey of the University of Washington everywhere. We can see fans wearing the jerseys of Garfield High School and the Seattle SuperSonics everywhere. In Phoenix, the player who is most concerned about by domestic fans, Ye Si, is the most popular player. Welcome stars!”

"Phoenix City's All-Star Weekend starts tomorrow. Today, let me show you how Ye Si, Yao Ming, Yi Jianlian, Sun Yue and many other NBA All-Stars started their All-Star Weekend."

On TV, a very young and beautiful hostess with a stable temperament walked confidently while talking.

Outside the TV, on the other side of the ocean in China, I don’t know how many viewers are watching this beautiful host on the other side of the ocean on TV.

The 2009 All-Star Weekend can be said to be the All-Star Game that Chinese fans pay the most attention to.

If we talk about last year's 2008 All-Star Game, the protagonist was also a Chinese player, Ye Si.

But compared to this year, being the protagonist last year was not a protagonist at all!

In this year's All-Star Weekend, the two teams are no longer Western Conference teams or Eastern Conference teams.

In the main game of this year's All-Star Weekend, the two teams are called Ye Si's team and Yao Ming's team!

In this year's All-Star Rookie Challenge, the first- and second-year teams are also called the Leafs' team and the Yao Ming team.

Even the skills challenge, three-point shooting contest, and slam dunk contest were divided into Ye Si's team and Yao Ming's team to compete!

Skills Challenge, Three-Point Contest, Slam Dunk Contest, first two teams compete with each other. After the two teams compete, the winning team competes for the championship.

It can be said that this year's All-Star Weekend has not yet begun. Judging from David Stern's reform, this directly tells the world that the two protagonists of this year's All-Star Weekend are the popular Ye Si and Yao Ming. !

For fans in other countries, I won’t say whether such reforms are successful, but for Chinese fans, this year’s reforms like David Stern’s are really great!

Therefore, for this All-Star Weekend, CCTV has really spent a lot of money, using the standards of last year's finals to report this year's All-Star Weekend, hoping not to miss any shining moment of Ye Si and Yao Ming.

Thus, it provides a comprehensive report on the current popularity and status of Ye Si and Yao Ming, two representatives of the Chinese sports world, in the United States.

"The place we are standing now is the first stop for all the All-Stars when they arrive in Phoenix. It is also the first stop for the fans who are participating in the Phoenix All-Star Weekend. The first stop for reporters when they arrive in Phoenix is ​​the Phoenix Airport International Airport."

"Look, a huge poster for this year's All-Star Weekend has been put up at the Phoenix Airport International Airport. When we got off the plane,

When you go to the luggage area to pick up your luggage, you can clearly see these two huge posters on both sides. One is on the ceiling and the other is on the large wall in front. The pictures of these two posters are exactly the same, both are seven. The heads of the stars, from left to right, are Bowen, Arenas, Yao Ming, Yes, Nash, O'Neal, and Kobe. Among them, Yes is located in the middle of the poster. The width of Yes' poster is also seven people. The largest among them, 20% larger than the others. Next to Ye Si are Yao Ming and Nash, the three of them are in the middle. "

"When we were coming to Phoenix to watch the All-Stars, when we got off the plane and saw these two huge posters, we knew who the players we were paying most attention to during this year's All-Star Weekend were. , to see Yao Ming, to see Nash, to see Arenas, to see Bowen, and also to see OK reunite. At the same time, it is also to see Ye Si, Yes, because Ye Si is the NBA All-Star Weekend this year The number one hit, even the local Phoenix fans think so!”

"My colleagues and I have been in Phoenix for two days, chatting with local fans. Whenever we ask about Yes, we will get two answers like this. Yes is too strong, he always Able to create miracles, Yes is already a representative of the entire NBA and the entire basketball world. When you really like basketball, you will fall in love with Yes. He is already the best player on the planet and he can already represent the planet. As a sport of basketball, the recognition Ye Si received in the United States in Phoenix is ​​incredible. He is powerful and has an excellent public image. Many people in Phoenix told us that he can become the number one superstar in Phoenix. Going anywhere in the United States, anywhere in the world, even Antarctica, they believe that even the most beautiful and strongest penguins can't take away Ye's glory. No one can take away Ye's glory, as long as this event is about basketball. "

“Most of the games during this year’s All-Star Weekend will be held at the American Airlines Center, home of the Suns, which is where we are standing now, at 201 East Jefferson Street in Phoenix, the most prosperous area in the city, and the urban area of ​​Phoenix is ​​very It’s so small that you can almost walk all over the entire Downtown. You see, now around the arena and the central street square in the city, there are already fans wearing various jerseys everywhere. There is a lot of traffic and people coming and going. It is very lively. The entire city is very lively. It seems that the surrounding shops have all been transformed into shops selling souvenirs related to the All-Star Weekend.”

“During the few days we were in Phoenix, many Phoenix locals told us that if you didn’t come to the city center of Phoenix, you wouldn’t know how huge the influence of Yes in Phoenix is. Look, the people there This building is a landmark building in Phoenix. The Bank of America skyscraper is located on the west side of the Aviation Center Arena. On the front of this skyscraper, a superstar poster produced by T-mobile hangs. This picture compares The poster we saw at the airport just now is much larger, but except for Ye Si, there is no Yao Ming, no Nash, and no other All-Stars."

"The Bank of America building is one of the tallest buildings in Phoenix, so to speak, as long as you come to the east side of Phoenix, you can see this huge poster of Yes, and everyone can see it here, outside the Bank of America building, Enjoy Ye Si’s smile towards you. Look, many fans from all over the world are taking photos with the smiling Ye Si on the poster.”

"Of course, this is not the only company with huge posters of Yes outside the building in the city center. You see, there is also a huge poster of Yes on the window of the luxury hotel over there. There are also publicity outside the aviation center. In addition to Nash and Apart from the Suns players, the most eye-catching thing is the poster of Yesh walking among the grateful Suns players.”

"It's February 12th in the United States now. Later, Leafs and the SuperSonics players will play perhaps the most important regular season game of this season in Los Angeles. In Phoenix, although the All-Star Weekend has not yet started, Many preparatory activities for the All-Star Weekend have already begun. Later in the evening, a fan carnival called the "Cap Party" was held in the square on the west side of the arena to my left. At the same time, we also received news that at This year, many NBA stars will arrive in Phoenix one after another and stay at the Hilton Hotel, which is very close to the arena. After these stars come to Phoenix, their private parties will also be gradually launched. Tonight, the All-Stars of the Leafs, the Heat Player James will have a private party near the arena."

"At that time, our CCTV will also broadcast and report LeBron James' private party, so please watch it."

Although it was a special report from the frontline of the NBA, and although it lasted a lot longer, when Wang Han disappeared from the TV, many people were still upset.

Although many fans can now see a lot of news about Ye Si in the United States on the Internet.

However, such direct first-hand information is still rare.

Domestic fans now want to directly get first-hand news and information from the front, and the first channel is the NBA Frontline hosted by Wang Han and Lin Rui.

The second channel is Zhalang’s Weibo, which is the number one fan of the NBA and says, “If you’re not fifteen, you’re second.”

Not Fifteen is the second person who accepted Zhalang’s invitation and joined Zhalang’s Weibo last year, instantly becoming the most popular blogger in China.

Although there are many foreign celebrities on Zhalang Weibo, there are really no celebrities who are as down-to-earth as Fifteen is Second and can communicate with domestic netizens in Chinese throughout the whole process!

Some time ago, No. 15 and No. 2 had a late-night brawl with a Rondo fan, which caused a sensation on the entire Internet.

Although Not Fifteen is Second often posts news from the front, but most of it is not on-site, but some online news from the front. Not Fifteen is Second is responsible for translating these online news from the front.

Therefore, as the influence of Ye Si and Yao Ming increases, the domestic influence and ratings of programs like Frontier will become more and more terrifying.

However, after the front line ended, the regretful domestic fans quickly got over their regrets.

Because the programs broadcast on CCTV are still watched for their own reasons.

Although there is no longer the entire Phoenix City's admiration for Yees, there are also other NBA All-Stars' views on other Chinese players.

As an ordinary Chinese fan, Cai Dehua just likes to see the praise of Chinese players from all over the world. It feels like he is being praised.

But what is being played now is the scene of O'Neal being interviewed.

As the spokesperson for Li Ning, O'Neal, holding Li Ning shoes, talked about his relationship with Yao Ming and the relationship between Yes and Si.

"Yes and Yao are both very special to me. In Phoenix, I can be teammates with Yes and opponents with Yao. These are two happy things added together. I can get double happiness."

"Why do I look like I am getting double happiness now, but rather a bit painful? Hahahaha, don't get me wrong, I absolutely don't care about Yes's dislike for me or Yao's not choosing me in the end. Man, I am a generous person. The whole world is true. Yao and Yes, we just like to joke."

"In fact, I can tell you now that I actually love Kobe and Phil very much. This reunion will definitely give us a chance to renew our friendship and mentorship. From 2000 to 2003, we were the undefeated champions. No one could beat us. Now we can be together again, and we have Yes. This is another double happiness. Huh? Why don't I look so happy on my face? No, you are wrong. I am very happy now!"

Is O'Neal happy now?

Cai Dehua could see that O'Neal was smiling, but there was a little hardness on his face.

"Shaq, will you take your two sons to this year's All-Stars? Can you tell us who their favorite NBA players are? Besides you."

"Of course they will go to this year's All-Stars with me. They are Yes's crazy fans. They are the happiest to know that I will be teammates with Yes this year. These two guys don't care that their dad is the one that Yes dislikes. They even told me that we are the sons of Yes's teammates. They are very happy to be related to Yes in this way. As the father of these two little guys, I am very jealous of Yes."

"Shaq, have you ever thought of doing something at the All-Stars that you want to do but haven't done yet?"

"There are many, but many are unnecessary. I am ready to play in the 16th All-Star Game. For me, being able to be teammates with Yes is the most satisfying thing."

"The last question, can you select the five strongest players in the league? Besides you."

"Yao, Tim, Cameron, Yes, who else is there (others suggest: Bryant), yes, and Kobe."

Watching O'Neal's interview, Cai Dehua really had an urge to laugh up to the sky. This fat guy is so funny. He never forgets to tease Kobe. Although he always likes to tease Kobe, he can't forget Kobe in the end, and he can't forget to acknowledge Kobe. This feeling is so strange.

This year, CCTV is very concerned about the Phoenix All-Star Game, which can be seen from the program arrangement that can tickle the Chinese audience all the time.

Cai Dehua, who had watched O'Neal's interview and was ready to ask his son Kunkun to sing and dance rap and basketball, finally sat back on the sofa.

Because the scene on TV has changed from the Cavaliers' training hall to the Timberwolves' training hall, and the TV has changed from O'Neal to Rudy Gay.

Rudy Gay is a star that many Chinese fans like very much.

"Rudy, the All-Star Game is a big show for all NBA stars, but you were not selected at the last minute. Can you tell me what this means to you?"

"It means that I need to become better. When I first got the news, I felt very uncomfortable, just like when I knew I was going to Minnesota, but now I have come out of the frustration. I will conquer the All-Star stage like I conquered Minnesota in the future!"

"Your success in the Timberwolves proves how stupid it was for many people to miss you. Do you still imagine your future without coming to the Timberwolves?"

"Hahahaha, yes, but no, I would imagine what kind of career I would have if I hadn't come to the Timberwolves, but thinking about it, I dare not think about it. I love this place, and I dare not imagine what kind of scene it would be if I left here."

"Is it someone who can't bear to leave here? For example, Yi Jianlian?"

"Well, you can think so Jie, Yi, Al, OJ, and every Timberwolves fan who loves us.

"The Timberwolves have many young and excellent players, and you get along very well. Do you discuss who is the team leader? You or Yi Jianlian or someone else?

"I can tell you with certainty that Yi and I are leaders, but we are a very united team. We have common pursuits, common beliefs, and common goals. We also know that to get what we want, we must rely on everyone's efforts, not just one or two people. Yi and I can't make the Timberwolves perform so well this season. Yi and I can play a leadership role. We can be relied on by our teammates at critical moments, but we also need to rely on our teammates.

"Many Chinese fans know that you and Yes are very good friends, and you are also Yi Jianlian's most trusted teammate. Can you tell me what the labels of these two people are in your mind? ”

"Yi is a very smart and hard-working player. As long as you spend time with him, you will find that he is a perfect teammate. He is very quiet and rarely talks in the locker room, but he is very reliable, even more than me. Reliable, and Yes... He has many labels in my heart, maybe I can’t count them all in one day, but I will never forget that his biggest label is that he is powerful!”

"powerful?"

"Yes, that is powerful that we must defeat!"

Rudy Gay on TV is very straightforward. Not only is he a good big brother to Yi Jianlian, he is also the leader in guiding Yi Jianlian to adapt to the United States and the NBA. He is also a good friend of Ye Si. In terms of personality and skills, he has many talents in China. Lots and lots of fans.

Even if you're not a fan of his, you certainly won't hate him.

It can only be said that CCTV used this interview with the NBA All-Stars to warm up this year's All-Stars in China, which was quite successful.

After interviewing O'Neal and Gay, what comes next is such as

"Arenas analyzes what kind of person Sun Yue is and talks about the ins and outs of his feud with Ye Si."

"The Wolf King humorously responded to the embarrassment of sweeping the finals."

"The All-Star host responded that Ye Si is my number one idol."

"Derrick Rose: Wang reminds me of Carter, Zhu will win the three-point contest."

"..."

Damn it, CCTV simply doesn’t want him to leave the TV.

Originally, I was going to teach my son how to sing, dance, rap and play basketball today, but now I look at the time and it seems I can only teach basketball.

However, his son Kunkun is very talented in basketball, and his dribbling is very similar to that of Ye Si. He is indeed planning to train Kun Kun to become an alumnus of Ye Si. In the future, he will have the opportunity to let Ye Si see his son's dribbling. Maybe his son's dribbling is better than that of Ye Si. His unique dribbling method can also be taught to Ye Si in the future, so that Ye Si can be inspired.

With the arrival of the 2009 All-Star Weekend, not only the Chinese media are frantically warming up to the All-Star Weekend, the United States and the world are also warming up to this year's All-Star Weekend.

"Yes, your All-Star mission this year is very heavy. Can you handle it?"

"no problem."

Faced with Lin Rui's concern, Ye Si nodded expressionlessly.

When you have a title on your back, you need to work hard for it.

This is equivalent exchange.

Ye Si likes the kind of equal exchange where hard work leads to reward, and he also abides by such equal exchange.

After recording the CCTV interview on the plane, Ye Si and his SuperSonics teammates arrived in Phoenix at noon on Friday, February 13, 2009.

His preparation for this All-Star Weekend is indeed quite tight.

After arriving in Phoenix at noon, before he had time to rest, he took the team's two first-year players, Gasol and James Harden, to the training facility.

As a first-year head coach in the Rookie Challenge, he also needs to meet with seven other first-year players.

Rose, Beasley, Mayo, Afflalo, Russell Westbrook, Kevin Love, Eric Gordon.

There are many old acquaintances.

And some old acquaintances are always disobedient.

"Yes, I think there is something wrong with your tactical arrangement. In other words, Yes, you don't need to arrange any tactics at all. This year's Rookie Competition can be left to me, Russell and Kevin. The three of us Tiger can defeat any opponent!"

"Stay there."

Ye Si couldn't bear it any longer and kicked the bully of the rookie first-year team to the ground.

Seeing this scene, all the other rookies who had been nagged by Afflalo, Westbrook and Kevin Love all morning burst out laughing.

With Afflalo's current status, I'm afraid only players of Yes' level can treat him like this.

And after being kicked by Yes, Afflalo was still smiling.

"Yes, it's not that I don't believe in your tactics. You have to use it yourself. There is no problem with this tactic. If you don't use it, who can beat it?"

Afflalo, who was about to say something else, became honest after being glared at by Ye Si.

Unlike the first graders who were disobedient to discipline, the second graders were quite united. Even Yao Ming himself was surprised by the unity.

It’s really not the atmosphere of unity created by him, but created by these young people themselves.

"Beat Yes!"

"Beat Yes!"

"Beat Yes!"

A common goal brings these people together.

Oden, Al Horford, Jeff Green, Aaron Brooks, Luis Scola, Nick Young, Yi Jianlian, Mike Conley, Noah...

With Oden, Arab League and Nick Young, as well as Conley and Jeff Green, they should be invincible, right?

There’s no problem in defeating Little Leaf, right?

This time, the trend of Little Ye Zi being established as the number one star in the league by the All-Stars is too obvious. Regardless of these young rookies, many people want to become famous in one fell swoop and step on Little Ye Zi to the top...

It's not just these young players who have these thoughts.

Many players on his team feel the same way...

"President, is this target too big?"

"Is it too big..."

Looking at the huge poster of the Bank of America Building that shone brightly in the night sky, David Stern smiled and shook his head.

Now that we have won the championship, it's time to be crowned.

"This position has been vacant for too long..."
