NBA: Miracle Workers

Chapter 68
On February 1997, 2, there were no games on that day, and the All-Star Weekend was about to start.

For ordinary players, in the middle of the season, with 4 days off, it is natural to feel at ease on vacation.

The atmosphere group of the Knicks chose to join in the fun. Patrick Ewing was selected as the NBA 50 superstar, and Li You entered the NBA All-Star Game as a substitute. Witnessing history together is everyone's common choice.

John Wallace was also selected for this year's Rookie Challenge. Being able to go on TV and participate in the All-Star Weekend has made this cute newcomer into a chatter state in the past two days:
"Lee, it's the Rookie Challenge, remember to pass the ball to me more, I want to complete a beautiful alley-oop dunk in front of my family and friends!"

"It's so cool! The 4th Rookie Challenge has a sense of epic, I feel like I have become a rookie of the historical level!"

"How many points should I score? The names of the first-year players in the West are somewhat unfamiliar. Have these guys played in the regular season? Why do I have no impression at all!"

"God! Cardinal Auerbach will still serve as our head coach. I'm already getting nervous. If I make a mistake in front of this legend, it would be really embarrassing!"

"Mr. Holtzman will also serve as the head coach of the Western Conference. In fact, I look forward to him coaching us."

After getting on the plane, Mengxin John Wallace talked non-stop beside Li You, showing the unique rhythm and accent of black people vividly.

Li You helped his forehead helplessly. He is not a young man after all, and it is difficult to substitute John Wallace's excited emotions:

"Okay, John, I guarantee you can score points in the rookie challenge!"

"Relax! Treat it as an ordinary exhibition match, a duel between rookies, nothing to be nervous about!"

Charles Oakley on the side was in a good mood, he didn't care about the excited Mengxin, and just exhorted:
"Li, don't let him make a joke at the rookie challenge, remember to dress formally, don't dress like a street gangster."

"When it comes to the All-Star Game, don't expect to have too much playing time, that is the stage for the old guys."

After entering the All-Star team as a substitute, Li You has completely gained a foothold in the Knicks. Although Ewing is still the core of tactics, everyone will listen to his opinions.

Lemon Jing believes that Li You was selected because the NBA league needs gimmicks and is a product of the "star-making movement";

But within the Knicks, everyone recognized Li You's status as an All-Star player, and he could already enjoy some privileges.

Larry Johnson of Cha Lemon did not follow the crowd. "Auntie" decided to leave this year's All-Star weekend behind and finally chose to take a vacation to "heal".

Alan Houston did not take the plane together either. He planned to take his girlfriend to the All-Star Weekend to enjoy the world of the two first, and then take a good look around Cleveland.

Li You knew in his heart that Ewing didn't want to see him selected as an All-Star.

The team has only one boss. After playing in New York for so many years, Ewing will not give up his privilege even if his physical condition declines.

The Knicks have been circling around Ewing for so many years, and the gorilla is used to this kind of treatment, 20+10, priority to shoot, and giving up the core style of play, which is impossible.

In the same way, Li You will not give up his privileges. Unless one of them compromises, conflicts will erupt sooner or later.

"I'm a little curious, is Michael really not planning to attend the press conference of the top 50 superstars? This is a historic moment!"

Hearing Li You's low-pitched inquiry, and noticing the gloating expression on his face, Charles Oakley tugged on his tie and laughed lowly:
"I don't know, anyway, he called and invited me to play golf, press conference? Maybe he wanted to impress those old guys!"

"He's a jerk, but he should be respected. Four championships, one three-peat, 4th? I think these guys pissed him off."

With the arrival of the All-Star Weekend, Cleveland's superstars gathered, and the old guys came out to breathe this year. The happiest thing is the various sports media.

There are too many stars, and basically all the famous star players have come to Cleveland.

For the fans, this is also a basketball feast. No matter what era you were born in, you can always find your youthful memories here.

On the morning of February 2, Li You took John Wallace to join his good friends Ray Allen and Travis Knight.

In addition to the Rookie Challenge, Ray Allen will also participate in the dunk contest.

Many fans gathered around the Gund Stadium, home of the Cavaliers, and the giant party officially opened.

Big man Travis Knight with a cropped haircut looks like a tough guy.

After entering the Lakers, he didn't play much time, but recently O'Neal was injured, and Knight also got more opportunities:

"Li, you are a big star now! I can see your news every day in Los Angeles. You may not know it, but there are also many fans who like you here!"

"ClayGod, this move is so cool, how does it feel to pass Michael Jordan, I watch this goal every day!"

The big Knight talked non-stop with excitement after meeting him, and he also felt very honored that his friend became a big star.

Ray Allen just smiled and bumped fists with Li You, still as silent as before:

"Second in the East, a well-deserved All-Star, I know how hard it is for you to play like this! Don't care about those boring reports!"

Li You raised his eyebrows. He took those questioning articles and reports as fun. Ordinary news could not attract him at all. Only the random fabrications of UC media could make him smile knowingly.

It's just that it's hard for others to believe in this situation, and Li You didn't explain it. He hugged and greeted the two friends in front of him, and then jokingly said:
"I thought you guys would bring your girlfriends, but it seems like everyone is focused on basketball, which is great! I'm so relieved!"

Li You is mainly to comfort Ray Allen, long-distance love is really too difficult.

After introducing John Wallace, the 4 were also going to visit Cleveland.

Everyone was dressed in sports. I thought it would not attract too much attention, but soon, some enthusiastic fans surrounded them:
"Lee! I came to Cleveland to support you, can you take a photo with me first?"

"Too young, I didn't dare to confirm just now, Li, you are cooler than on TV! Your same armbands, God! I love your look so much!"

The fans began to chirp, realizing that this was an opportunity to get close to the All-Star players, and the number of people around Li You increased for a while.

Ray Allen, who has always been calm, realized that he had been neglected. Looking at Li You, who was smiling and taking a photo with the fans, he also had lemons in his heart:

"If I could go to the Celtics as I wished"

On the afternoon of the 8th, before the start of the Rookie Challenge, the NBA also held a press conference for the top 50 superstars.

Making an appearance in front of the media is a well-established event procedure, but Michael Jordan slapped his face when he came up.

At the press conference, Michael Jordan didn't go at all, and chose to play golf with his friends.
46?Not taken seriously?

Michael Jordan turned the tables and stopped playing!If you don't participate in the activities, you will be fined if you have money!
At the press conference, Chamberlain and Bill Russell were naturally well-deserved protagonists, and the event held in the Gund Stadium in the afternoon was also star-studded.

But without Michael Jordan, the media present always felt that the 50 superstars were almost meaningless.

Michael Jordan once again showed his great influence. Without seeing Jordan, the fans were blown away. They bought tickets to participate in the event, not to see these old men!

In the end, the event at Gund Arena ended with a lackluster response, and the NBA blew up and fined Michael Jordan before the rookie challenge.
Other stars not present include Jerry West and Shaquille O'Neal.

Taking the Sharks away from the Magic during the offseason, the NBA believed that this involved illegal recruitment, so it directly investigated Jerry West.

It's just that this kind of behavior seems to have touched the bottom line of Jerry West. The legendary superstar believes that the NBA lacks respect for him, so he simply bid farewell and left!

Jerry West declined to attend this year's event, citing ear surgery.

As for the Sharks, this one was really injured and never came to Cleveland at all, and the All-Star position was replaced by second-year Kevin Garnett.

On the first day of the event, moths appeared, and the happiest people were the melon eaters.

Before the rookie challenge in the evening, the newbies were also discussing this matter:
"It's so fucking cool! Michael should give those old guys some color, 46, go to hell! I support him!"

In the eastern rookie locker room, Allen Iverson was particularly excited and praised Jordan's counterattack loudly.

Antoine Walker looked very calm. After changing his jersey, he said casually:
"Michael Jordan also has to respect his predecessors. That's Bill Russell, a true legend. He shouldn't be absent from events like this."

Upon hearing this, Marcus Camby on the side immediately mocked:
"Look at this guy, less than a year into the Celtics, the blood is green! That's what Michael Jordan should do, 46th? This is humiliating!"

Iverson also immediately counterattacked with the choking sound. The game has not started yet, and there has been a lot of hype here.
After Li You exchanged pleasantries with Knicks legend Holtzman before the game, he returned to the locker room and found that everyone was arguing:

"Hey, don't tell me I'm infighting now? If I don't want to win, then I won't pass the ball tonight!"

"With Ray and John, it's enough to clean up the rookies on the opposite side!"

After returning to his seat, Li You teased the few people who were still arguing. When Iverson heard this, he immediately turned his gun:
"The youngest All-Star player in NBA history? If you weren't in New York, you wouldn't have that treatment at all."

"If I wasn't in New York, I would have averaged 24+10 per game, and the best rookie would not be booked by you."

Li You smiled and teased Iverson for scoring points, but Antoine Walker's eyes twitched slightly. He really scored points for the Celtics, but he hadn't scored against Iverson yet.
Ray Allen had long been quarreled by the crowd, and at this moment he said helplessly:
"There is no need to fight back and forth. Mike has his reasons for doing so, but that is too far away from us. I just want to win tonight, and I don't want to disappoint the family members present."

Ray Allen's words made everyone stop arguing, and being able to participate in the Rookie Challenge on TV naturally wanted to perform well in front of friends and family.

On this point, everyone reached a consensus. Iverson tidied up his jersey and said coolly:
"I will go all out to play on the court, and no one can limit me one-on-one!"

Upon hearing Iverson's words, everyone in the locker room laughed out loud. A basketball game is not a one-on-one match. Li You even said in a coaxing tone:
"Don't worry, we will take good care of you and try to create one-on-one opportunities for you!"

"."

The Rookie Challenge has only been held four times this year, and it just happened to catch up with the NBA's top 50 superstars and top 10 coaches. This year, the two new teams are coached by legendary head coaches.

Cardinal Auerbach was more approachable than expected, wearing a black formal suit, and looked older. When he came to the locker room, he greeted Mengxin with a smile and didn't talk about the game at all:

"It's good to be young. I can express myself as much as I can after playing. I don't think the fans who watch the game live will want to see complicated and boring tactical coordination."

"Guys, go enjoy the game!"

"Li, after coming on stage, you will be in charge of controlling the rhythm of the game. You are already an All-Star player, show your strength!"

Before playing, the old man simply took care of him and patted Li You on the shoulder with a smile. Among all the new players, only he has the highest achievement so far.

Li You, who had already changed his jersey, was not polite, and responded confidently:

"Although the opponent is coached by Mr. Holtzman, I have said hello before the game. Tonight's game, we will win."

Hearing Li You's words, Auerbach turned into a fan of fun after seeing the serious appearance of all the cute new players, and couldn't stop laughing for a while:

"It's nice to be young!"

There is no complicated appearance ceremony in the Rookie Challenge at this time. Everyone changed into their uniforms and sat on the bench safely, waiting for the DJ to shout:

"Let's welcome the 6-foot-3 All-Star guard from UConn --

"Clay—Lee!"

In Gund Gymnasium, the fans at the scene saw Li You wearing the Knicks white No. 1 jersey, got up and waved, and immediately burst into cheers.

In the eyes of fans, those who can often score top 10 goals must have good abilities. For this, Iverson and Li You are the most well-known.

Li You used "Sam Gold" to flash past Michael Jordan and scored 2 points. This round has been played repeatedly recently, which brought him a huge popularity bonus.

First-year rookie starters in the Eastern Conference:
Li You, Allen Iverson, Ray Allen, Antoine Walker, Marcus Camby;

On the other side, there are 5 first-year rookies in the Western Conference:
Matt Maloney, Kobe Bryant, Roy Rogers, Shareef Abdul-Rahim, Travis Knight.

Compared with the rookie starting lineup in the East, 5 players come from 5 teams. For the rookies in the West, Maloney is currently the starting point guard of the Rockets, and the other 4 spots are taken by the Grizzlies and Lakers.

The expression on Iverson's face was "you can't do it", looking very confident, but Li You was smiling and bumping fists with the people opposite.

Mengxin Kobe was wearing the Lakers away purple and gold jersey at this time, with a particularly serious expression.

It was difficult for him to get too much playing time with the Lakers. When it came to the Rookie Challenge, he naturally wanted to prove himself.

With Marcus Camby jumping the ball successfully, Li You took control of the ball and the Eastern Rookies took the lead in attacking.

Iverson didn't ask for the ball either, and quickly ran across the half court, commanding his teammates to go up the line and open up the offensive space.

Except for Marcus Camby, the other four are all outside players. Therefore, Camby has no chance to show off his low-post skills and honestly come to the pick-and-roll at the top of the arc.

Everyone wants to win, so naturally they have to go all out to play the game. Kobe noticed that Li You was holding the ball in his left hand, approaching the three-point line and slowly slowing down. He subconsciously moved forward, preparing to squeeze past the screen.

Li You didn't shake too much either. At the moment Kobe put on the defense, his left hand quickly and slightly in and out, while his body was shaking, he took advantage of the trend to circle the ball behind his back.

Re-catching the ball with his right hand, Li You quickly lowered his body's center of gravity and accelerated his breakthrough. Kobe followed his body's instinctive reaction and hurriedly slid to the left rear.

Li You pressed his shoulders and broke through the three-point line. Taking advantage of the opponent's slippage to defend, he quickly dribbled the ball behind his back.

Kobe then changed the center of gravity of his body again, and just about to slide to stick to the defense, Li You, who was holding the ball in his left hand, suddenly turned around sharply, grabbed the ball again with his right hand, and immediately accelerated with all his strength.

The fans at the scene only saw that Kobe took two steps and then completely lost his defensive position. Li You's fancy shaking made the fans cheer along.

The teammate was out of position, and the big Knight was forced to delay ahead of time. At this time, Camby quickly slid down, and just about to raise his hand to signal, Li You, who broke through to the left block position, threw the basketball high with his right hand.

Marcus Camby, who went down the middle, hurriedly accelerated and took off vigorously. After catching the ball with both hands in the air, there was a slight pause, and then he grabbed the ball with his right hand and pulled it back. A powerful tomahawk-style dunk came directly!
"Boom!!" The empty catch dunk was successful!
"WOW!!"

The wonderful aerial link ignited the atmosphere of the scene at once, and the fans exclaimed, and then there was a burst of shouting.

After landing, Marcus Camby almost put his mouth on the back of his head, and excitedly gave Li You a high-five to celebrate when he returned to defense.

This cake is too delicious!

Mengxin Kobe felt that he was being teased, so he didn't say a word. He just took the initiative to ask for the ball when he came to the right flank outside the three-point line when attacking.

Matt Maloney also gave face, and immediately sent a cross pass. Just after the basketball was released, Iverson saw the opportunity, suddenly accelerated, and directly intercepted it!

Before everyone in the Western rookie team could react, the fast Iverson had already crossed the center line.

With the ball in his right hand, Iverson continued to accelerate. When Iverson came to the paint area, he immediately jumped with both feet, grabbed the ball with one hand with his right hand, and dunked with one arm!
After completing the dunk, Iverson immediately beat his chest and roared to the camera under the basket. The camera is full of sense!

The cheers from the fans made Matt Maloney's face a little ugly. He didn't expect Iverson to be so serious.
Kobe Bryant wanted the ball, but Matt Maloney chose to attack himself

Facing Iverson's defense at the top of the arc, Matt Maloney dribbled the ball under his crotch, smashed through with the ball in his right hand, turned around quickly in the paint area, and tried to use his height advantage to get rid of Iverson's defense.

After turning around and catching the ball with one hand with his left hand, Matt Maloney felt that he had completely swayed the defense and picked the basket with one hand.

Just as the basketball flew into the air, Marcus Camby suddenly burst into a slap shot head-on!
The moment the basketball was shot flying, Ray Allen saw who had the opportunity, took control of the ball, and then took advantage of the situation to throw the ball to the frontcourt, ran without the ball, and accelerated across the half court with all his strength.

After catching the ball with his left hand, Li You continued to accelerate along the left sideline, ignoring the physical confrontation given by Kobe on his side, rushed across the center line to the left flank beyond the three-point line, and threw the ball towards the basket. .

Ray Allen, who was about to come down, rushed up in three strides, easily caught the ball in the air, and then took advantage of the situation to turn the ball around, grabbing the ball with one hand with his right hand, and hitting the buckle with the wheel arm!

"Boom!" The windmill dunked successfully!

After landing, Ray Allen gave Li You a thumbs-up, with just the right height and a tacit pass.

He was beaten 6-0 at the beginning of the game, but the Knicks legend Holzman, who was sitting off the court, still kept a smile on his face, and applauded Li You by the way, indicating that he played well.

It was Raheem who took the lead in scoring for the rookie team in the West. This low-key striker and inside singles Antoine Walker easily succeeded.

Although it was only an exhibition game, Antoine Walker still raised his hand to signal that he was lax in defense.

This time it was Iverson's turn to hold the ball in the backcourt and advance quickly. After halftime, he signaled Li You to run across.

He often played against the Knicks, and Iverson also knew this tactic. Li You moved from right to left, crossing the line quickly, and Marcus Camby at the elbow on the left side of the free throw line delayed Kobe who was chasing.

When Li You received a cross pass from Iverson and dangled the ball, Kobe subconsciously wanted to jump up to block the block after chasing him, but his center of gravity moved forward. Li You released the ball with his right hand, broke through step by step, and passed the defense .

Near the bottom line on the left, Roy Rogers immediately wanted to step forward to help defend. Seeing Li You suddenly pull the ball back with his right hand, he subconsciously thought that he was going to give the ball to Ray Allen in the left corner.

Roy Rogers was swayed by Li You and slipped towards the left corner. He came back to his senses completely, only to find that Li You had rushed up in three strides, easily broke through to the basket, and succeeded in picking the basket with one hand with his right hand!
"Oh!!"

The exclamation of the fans at the scene recalled again that many audience members were also deceived by Li You's fake moves.

"Brilliant attack! Lee once again showed his superb skills. He not only fooled me, but also almost fooled the entire defense line!"

In the TNT commentary booth, Hubie Brown blew along, while on the court, Kobe pursed his lips and raised his hand to signal to his teammates that it was his problem.

8:2, all the rookies in the Eastern Conference scored except for Antoine Walker.

Most of the new players are Jordan fans. Walker bad-mouthed Mike in the locker room, and no one passed him the ball except Li You.

The clock ticked, and Antoine Walker felt it, but the fans didn't care.

Li You and Iverson showed different styles of play, and no one cared about the Celtics' new players.

Kobe broke through to the inside with difficulty in the last round, scored two points, quickly served the bottom line, and was chased by Li You through the half court.

In a half-conversion attack, while the opponent was still retreating, Li You, who was holding the ball in his right hand, continued to accelerate and came to the paint area to quickly dribble behind his back.

The moment he switched to his left hand, he immediately jumped in reverse, and at the same time quickly changed hands behind his back. Li You completely shook Kobe in front of him, grabbed the ball with one hand with his right hand, and easily picked the basket from the bottom right of the basket!

"Oh!!"

In Gund Gymnasium, as Li You changed hands behind his back and hopped and scored a layup, the scene was immediately blown up. Many spectators in the front row stood up and cheered, the show exploded!

In the future, Crawford's signature move, Shake and bake, was easily used by Li You. Feeling the cheers from the scene, Li You, who returned to defense, raised his right hand with a smile and put it in his ear, making a gesture of listening.

In the on-site commentary booth, Hubie Brown might be getting old, and he didn't seem to keep up with Li You's movements. He waited for a while before raising the volume:
"God, how did Lee swing by! Very creative goal!"

The cute new Kobe who was shown his face again was so angry that he always felt that Li You's movements were gimmicky, but he was able to stand out
The first half of the game lasted only 20 minutes. During the time Li You played, he continued to show off his showmanship.

Breaking through at the top of the arc, Li You passed the ball without looking at people's backs!
During the transition attack, the right hand circled the ball under the crotch with one hand and then the top turned around, and Li Yousao Bao completed the pick basket!

After a horizontal cut, the right flank outside the three-point line received the ball, and Li You drifted a three-pointer and scored.
It wasn't until Kobe interfered with a jumper in the elbow area on the right side of the free throw line during an attack and knocked out of the frame that Li You temporarily ended his performance.

With 11 minutes and 31 seconds left in the first half, with Iverson's two free throws, at 22:12, the Eastern Rookie Team has led by 10 points.

Taking advantage of free throws, Mengxin John Wallace also replaced Li You.

Seeing Li You return to the bench, the excited audience first sighed with regret, and then sent out cheers. Tonight's game is much better than the previous three Rookie Challenges!
The future No. [-] center in the Western Conference, Eric Dampier, who was sitting on the bench, took the opportunity to get close to Li You and smiled softly:
"I can assure you, as long as you wave and give them some chances, these chicks will automatically climb into your bed tonight!"

Li You, who returned to his seat, followed his gaze and found that it was the cheerleading girl who was performing for the warm-up show, waving to this side again:

"Let's leave this opportunity to you. After playing a few beautiful dunks, these chicks will definitely fall in love with you!"

The girls in the cheerleading team have thick thighs, and they are all small tanks. Although Li You is used to the culture of chatting among players, he is really not interested in driving a tank.

The game continued, and the Eastern Rookies also replaced Iverson with Corey Kidders;

On the bench of the Western rookies, Steve Nash and Derek Fisher also made their appearances, and Li You was familiar with more and more faces.

Perhaps it was because after the opening game, the performances of Li You and Iverson raised the expectations of the fans at the scene. During the rotation time, the freshmen who appeared on the stage played a little boringly, and the atmosphere cooled down again.

Mengxin Kobe scored consecutive points at this time, and stood at the free throw line in several rounds, but the point difference was gradually widened, and the Eastern rookie played more methodically.

With 4 minutes and 01 seconds left in the first half, Li You and Iverson appeared on the stage again, and the fans cheered loudly.

After several lateral cuts, Iverson either directly made a jumper or made a breakthrough and rushed to the basket.

With the same tactics, Li You is more to attract the defense, find Dampier who goes down or John Wallace who stays on the bottom line, and strives to make everyone score.

At halftime, 56:36, the point difference has come to 20 points.

The strength gap between the two sides is very obvious. Only Rahim has the most stable scoring in the western rookie team. Kobe and his teammates are not on the same channel, and everyone plays their own games.

In the second half of the game, the rookie team in the Eastern Conference was having a good time. Everyone's defensive enthusiasm remained undiminished. As long as the opponent hit the iron, they would run wild after receiving the rebound.

Steve Nash, who took the lead in the second half, played a pick-and-roll with Rasim at the top of the arc. Iverson squeezed through the screen desperately, hitting Nash with the ball in his left hand.

Li You saw the opportunity on the left side, suddenly rushed up, and completed the steal face to face. Seeing that Iverson had already charged, he immediately threw the ball forward, and at the same time exerted force with his feet, and quickly rushed across the center line.

Aware of the movement behind him, Iverson began to slow down through the three-point line, and then threw the ball to the backboard.

After the basketball rebounded, it flew into mid-air and rushed to the paint area. Li You jumped up to catch the ball with both hands, quickly spun the ball in front of him, and dunked the basket vigorously with both hands!

"Boom!" The empty catch dunk was successful!
The fans cheered loudly. Iverson just pretended to be X and pointed to the basket, signaling to Li You that he owed him an assist.
The slam dunk action was not graceful enough, and the audience didn't mind it, and they still cheered for the beautiful cooperation.

Alan Houston, who was sitting in the front row cheering for Li You, noticed that Ewing beside him was not in a good mood, and said casually:
"Pat, take this opportunity to rest. Don't worry about the team's record. Although Lee is only 19 years old, he plays very cautiously."

"Seriously, I don't want to drop to No. 4 at all. Meeting the Bulls in the semifinals, that would be the worst possible situation."

Ewing, who was dressed in formal attire, didn't say anything, just nodded, subconsciously helped his knee with his right hand.

He originally planned to come back immediately after the All-Star Game, but the coaching staff and teammates are persuading him to take a good rest
Holzman, who coached the rookie team in the Western Conference, didn't even look at the score. He sat on the bench all the time and became a spectator with a smile on his face. The same was true for Cardinal Auerbach on the other side. The two came to watch the game tonight.

Seeing that there was no hope of chasing points, the game time passed, the two sides began to make large-scale substitutions, and all the new players selected got the chance to play.

In the end, at 97:86, the Eastern Rookie Team successfully won the fourth Rookie Challenge.

The game process was quite exciting, at least the audience who bought the tickets felt that it was not a loss, and the noise in the arena did not diminish at the end of the game.

It's just that the MVP selection process after the game was difficult, and the eastern rookie team scored relatively evenly.

李佑出场24分钟，10中7，三分线外2中1，罚球2中2，17分4篮板8助攻1抢断。

艾弗森11中7，罚球2中2，16分3篮板5助攻2抢断2失误，马库斯-坎比18分12篮板。

"The commander of the rookie team in the East, who controls the rhythm of the game excellently, the MVP of the [-]th Rookie Challenge is Clay-Lee!"

"Ladies and gentlemen, tonight we have witnessed a new record together!"

The host will remove the microphone and hand over the silver trophy to Li You.

Witnessed by nearly 2 spectators at the scene, the trophy was lifted high by Li You, and the Gund Stadium once again burst into loud cheers. Obviously, the fans also like such a gimmick.

Seeing Li You toast with a smile, Iverson on the side showed an indifferent expression, Ray Allen and Knight were applauding vigorously, and no one cared about Kobe who stood at the back of the crowd with reddish eyes.

Mengxin Kobe scored a game-high 31 points. When everyone gave up the game, he still insisted on playing and chasing points hard, but in the end he got nothing:
"I'll win it back!"

On the morning of February 2th, in just one night, the wonderful goals of the All-Star Rookie Challenge swept the United States, and Li You, who pretended to be X, was on TV again.

The cute new Kobe, who took a breath, defeated Chris Karl and Michael Finley in the subsequent slam dunk contest, and was successfully elected as the slam dunk king!

In the three-point contest, Steve Kerr no longer accompanied him. He scored 22 points in the final and finally won the three-point contest after years of accompanying him.

It's just that these individual events and fancy dribbles and beautiful alley-oop dunks are less interesting, and the discussion among fans is also less than half.

But as the All-Star Game is about to begin, the hot spot is back on Michael Jordan again!

After refusing the press conference, Michael Jordan did not accept an interview, and he was still playing golf with his friends, which made many media angry:

Come out and squeak!

After the makeup photo shoot in the afternoon, Michael Jordan still didn't say a word.

It was not until the start of the All-Star Game that night that Michael seemed to get the news, and he showed a smiling face in the locker room
Facts have proved that when the NBA league encounters a superstar like Michael Jordan, it will also become a licking dog, and the league finally took the lead in compromising.

Li You can pretend to be X at will in the Rookie Challenge, and in the All-Star Game, he will be treated the same as Mengxin Garnett:
"Just call me Xiao Li."

During the photo shoot in the afternoon, only Grant Hill and Mutombo took the initiative to say hello, and everyone else ignored the youngest Li You.

For such a situation, Li You had already been prepared, and he was not interested in getting close to everyone. After completing the filming task of the alliance, he immediately slapped his ass and left.

The sophomore Garnett was treated better than Li You, but the old guy who started the All-Star Western Conference ignored him.

These old guys have a strong concept of hierarchy. The boss talks to the boss. Even if Pippen has won 4 championships, some people still look down on him:
"It's just a thigh hug!"

Before the start of the All-Star game in the evening, as Mike's mood improved, the atmosphere in the Eastern All-Star locker room also improved, and everyone began to chat and fart.

"Dunk? Michael never dunks on me!"

"What I said is the truth, Pippen may be able to testify for me!"

Mutombo, who was binding his feet, teased Michael Jordan, who had already changed his uniform. The latter showed a surprised expression, laughed and shook his head and said:

"Man, stop talking, you know the consequences of pissing me off!"

"I absolutely dunked you, I dunked every center in the league, Pat, am I right?"

Ewing, who also changed his jersey, had already put on his coat at this time, and when he heard Michael Jordan's joke, he immediately said angrily:

"I trust Di Kembe, he never lies!"

The bosses were farting and chatting, but Li You could only act as a little transparent in the dressing room. Last night was so beautiful, today he is standing like a minion.
Michael Jordan seemed to realize that this year's All-Star Li You broke the record at this time, turned his head and shouted loudly:
"Li, how many points are you going to score tonight? Don't worry, I won't target rookies like that bastard Thomas. However, I suggest you pass the ball more!"

"Trust me, this is definitely good advice!"

Noticing that everyone was looking at him, Li You shrugged and said indifferently:

"Give me enough playing time, and I will get an AMVP by the way. If I have less than 10 minutes of playing time, I will consider your suggestion!"

Everyone in the locker room laughed loudly, the rookie still wants to win the trophy?

"Okay, don't embarrass my little brother, Mike, remember to give him more chances, the All-Star Game can't end with zero points."

Seeing Ewing helping Li You speak, Michael Jordan restrained his smile and said seriously:
"Li can score, but I don't want to see the rookie on the opposite side score easily, listen, give him some color, and get serious!"

All the sycophants patted their chests and made promises. Tonight, the cute new Garnett, don't even think about scoring easily.

The Gund Stadium was full that night. As the highlight of this year's All-Star Weekend, the fans couldn't wait to see the demeanor of the 50 superstars.

There were many fans supporting Li You at the scene, and there were cheers when he came out, but when Michael Jordan came on the stage, he immediately stole everyone's limelight.

The All-Star Game started, and Li You sat obediently on the bench.

Maybe it's because he played too much golf. Michael Jordan's touch was average after the opening game, and he was more about organizing offenses.

The game was quite exciting, but Li You was out of his mind. It was quite boring to watch Michael wear X.

With 1 minutes left in the first quarter, head coach Doug Collins greeted Li You:
"Li, get used to the atmosphere first, don't stress!"

Li You nodded, took off his jacket and moved his body briefly, and then walked onto the field to replace Anfernee Hardaway.

The Jordan successor ignored Li You, and walked straight to the bench with a face like I am a big star.

For the Western Conference All-Star team, Gary Payton's second free throw still hit the iron. The moment the ball hit the basket, Mutombo grabbed the rebound and threw the ball to Li You, who was on the right wing outside the three-point line.

After catching the ball, Li You didn't even look at the old guy behind him. Holding the ball in his right hand, he rushed forward.

The fans at the scene also cheered. After halftime, they went to the right flank beyond the three-point line. Li You was still unguarded.

The old guy on the opposite side seemed to think that Li You would slow down and stop the ball, waiting for his teammates to get in position to attack.

No one stepped forward to match, Li You didn't stop the ball, and quickly cut in from the right flank with the ball in his right hand.

Olajuwon, who had just returned to the basket, saw that Li You was about to rush into the paint, and subconsciously moved to help defend.

Amid the cheers of the fans, the moment Li You approached the paint area, Li You started to start. While walking, he pretended to join the ball with his left hand, grabbed the ball with one hand with his right hand, and threw the ball into the air from under his left arm!

The illustration threw the ball, and Olajuwon, who was assisting in the defense, was taken aback for a moment. By the time he realized it, Li You had already jumped up, turned sideways in the air, and grabbed the ball again with his right hand.

Realizing that he was shown off, Olajuwon quickly turned around to block the block, while Li You curled up at this time, leaning against the opponent and gliding to the bottom left of the basket.

In the air, Li You leaned forward, twisted his right wrist, and the basketball spun around and flew towards the backboard. After hitting the board high, it went into the net hollowly!

"Oh! Oh!!"

The Gund Gymnasium exploded in an instant, and all the audience at the scene subconsciously shouted crazily, the show exploded!

After landing, Li You put a smile on his face again, took small steps, and retreated quickly.

Noticing the surprised eyes of the old guy on the field, Li You was in a good mood for a while:

"Run after installing X! Completely comfortable!"
