Chapter 213 Phenomenal Popularity(1/2)
As a group of newcomers in the 2009 class, they are undoubtedly feeling aggrieved, and this feeling of aggrievedness can be said to have existed since the beginning of the 2009 draft last summer.
Because they are called the "young draft years"... Although later due to the emergence of Lin Ri, this statement was quickly no longer mentioned, but it can also be seen from media reports that when it comes to the 2009 draft, it is only
Lin Ri will be mentioned, but others rarely mention it. Apart from Lin Ri himself being really dazzling, the more important reason is probably that they still think that except for Lin Ri, there is nothing worth mentioning among the other players in the 2009 class.
people.
No, before the start of this year's Rookie Challenge, ESPN experts were extremely not optimistic that they could defeat the second-year seniors from the class of 2008. Only 2 experts out of 30 experts thought they could win.
Everyone has been in this league, and several of them can now average more than ten points per game. Such performance is not much worse than the players in the 2008 class.
Since it's not bad, why do you still look down on us?
No matter what, just do it!
Therefore, before the start of this game, their mood was already in a very unhappy state, and they were also very concerned about this game. Lin Rizai, who was originally going for the final Rookie Game MVP in this game, expressed in their performance
After showing his desire to win, he was naturally filled with joy.
Originally, he thought he had to find an opportunity to give them "chicken soup", but now it seems that it is completely unnecessary. They are very angry now!
The game then officially started.
Lin Ri went out to jump the ball with Lopez and successfully grabbed the first offensive right for the first grade team.
The ball was held by Tyreke Evans. After he took the ball past half-court, Derrick Rose immediately stopped him. These two guards, both from the University of Memphis, were chatting and laughing together yesterday. Today,
They met each other on the court...
But this is the first ball that has just been played. The game is still long, and Derrick Rose cannot play too seriously from this point on.
So he just blocked it, and when the latter tried his best to rush in, he got out of the way. Tyreke Evans drove straight in and completed the dunk so easily.
When he dunked in, the entire scene burst into loud cheers!
The cheers were faintly deafening.
Perhaps this is the enthusiasm of the fans who come to watch the game during the All-Star Weekend!
Evans walked toward the backcourt amid cheers.
The guys on the second-year team saw how ruthless Evans was as soon as he came up, and they were not polite. Derrick Rose took the ball to the frontcourt and gave the ball directly to Westbrook.
After you sing, I will come on stage. Now it’s our turn to dunk!
Westbrook, like Tyreke Evans just now, also took the ball and went inside. The 2009 team was not incompetent. They made room immediately and allowed Westbrook to go in.
"Boom!"
Westbrook dunked.
This also made the cheers at the scene that had just dropped become louder again at this moment!
This is the audience at the All-Star Weekend. They will not favor any side. Well, of course, if one of them is their home team player, the cheers may be louder. In this case, they will only
After approving the live performance, give a cheer of affirmation.
Just like Evans' dunk just now, and now Westbrook's dunk!
"The little guy here is really excited!"
"Yes, the stage of the rookie competition still needs to be played like this to make it lively!"
Reggie Miller in the ESPN commentary box was filled with emotion as he watched the wonderful dunks delivered at the beginning of the Rookie Challenge. At the same time, there was a lot of anticipation for this game in his eyes.
He is a person who likes to be lively, and obviously something is going in the direction of being lively now!
How could his expression not be good-looking?
And the freshmen and sophomores on the court did not disappoint him. After Westbrook and Evans dunked, others also dedicated their own dunks.
No matter how strong they are at dunking, or whether their physical fitness is strong enough, even if they are just performing an ordinary one-handed split dunk, they will not hesitate in their performance.
Because even if it is just an ordinary one-handed chop, the scene will immediately burst into huge cheers!!
This greatly increases the motivation of these guys to dunk!
For young people, nothing attracts them more than cheers!
The people on the court took turns performing like this, until the end, only Lin Ri was left not performing. The fans in the audience finally couldn't bear it anymore because of his delay in dunking, and stood up one by one.
Come on, shouting crazily towards the field:
"Man, it's your turn, yes, it's your turn!"
"The sun, let's dunk one, let's have a climax!"
"I've been waiting for this, need I say more? The sun, it's your turn!"
These sounds came to the field from the auditoriums far or near. Basically all the players heard these sounds, which made them immediately cast envious eyes towards Lin Ri... They were urged by the audience at the scene.
Going on the court and dunking, this is the dream of many young people!
Because, this is so cool!
The first-grade team didn't hesitate and gave the ball to Lin Ri after halftime.
Lin Ri was blocked in front of him by Kevin Love, but he didn't even raise his hand. He also signaled Lin Ri that he could pass by at any time, and made an expression as if he was waiting for the performance to come.
Lin Ri didn't hesitate. He took the ball and went inside. As he stepped into the free throw line with one foot, he suddenly threw the ball toward the backboard. Then he jumped into the air and caught the rebounded ball.
He hit the basket hard with his hand.
"Boom!"
There was only a loud dunk, and then Lin Ri grabbed the basket and tore it apart like a vicious tiger pouncing on its prey. This ferocious look caused a huge cheer to burst out from the venue.
This was a cheer that was obviously much louder than before, and even the players on the field could clearly feel the difference in volume.
But what no one expected was that the cheers were far from reaching their climax. After Lin Ri released his grip on the basket, fell to the ground, and shouted towards the audience, the entire scene was already filled with excitement.
The loud cheers reached a higher level at this moment.
Looking at the posture, it seems that it can knock over the ceiling of this arena!
Reggie Miller was also completely excited at this moment. He clenched his hands into fists excitedly and said loudly: "The Sun officially kicked off tonight's challenge with this dunk, and also let everyone know through this game.
It’s time for the slam dunk contest, he’s ready!”
"Dwight and Nate, are you ready?!"
"The Chinese beast is here!"
…
Lin Ri's dunk shook the audience completely.
This influence not only made the reporters, experts and commentators on the sidelines have expressions of "This kid's influence is really...", but also made every first-year student and student standing on and off the court look like "This kid is really influential..."
The second graders were stunned. Is this the legendary "top class"?
Okay, I admit I’m sour!!
Including Derrick Rose, he just showed a scalpel-like breakthrough and a rimless dunk. The cheers he aroused were only higher than those of other players on the court. You know, he is also
As a member of this year's All-Star lineup, he only received such cheers... He is not on the same level as Lin Ilwan.
Is this guy really only in the league for half a season?
wtf, what the hell have I been doing all these years?
It seems that this stage tonight will be his alone!
In addition to the surprise of these people, the super stars who came to watch the game also looked incredulous at this moment. Although Lin Ri is this year's "vote king", he is not the only "voter king" from China.
Yao Ming was once the "voting king", but judging from the situation at that time, there was no difference between the cheers he received as the voting king and other All-Star players. Even LeBron James and Kobe Bryant received cheers.
Even bigger.
Therefore, Lin Ri, the "voting king", in their opinion, should be similar to Yao Ming. The most important reason for being elected is because he has Chinese fans voting for him behind his back.
But after Lin Ri's dunk, most of them no longer had this idea...
The reason for not having this idea is very simple, because even if they go up and dunk, they probably won't make such a noise.
This newcomer is really popular!
To have such popularity after only half a season in the league not only made these superstars slowly think "?" in their hearts, what the hell have I done in these years? The accumulated popularity is not as good as
A guy who’s only been in the league for half a season…
This, this is really, really, um, okay, I won’t beat around the bush, I’m so sour!
How can one become as popular as Lin Ri?
Waiting online, it’s very urgent!
They were talking like this, Lin Ri got the ball again now, and no one stopped him this time. In the Rookie Challenge, if you play so seriously, you will get scolded, so you have to perform!
As for why Lin Ri got the ball again.
Just kidding, with all the cheers at the scene, do you dare not give him the ball?
I'm just afraid that I'll be drowned in saliva in a matter of minutes, right?
