Super Lord of the Rings

Vice President Adam Silver personally went to Los Angeles and asked Wang Jun for an interview, with full sincerity. [w. Sui Mеng. lā

Wang Jun would not lose face, he asked for a small private room at Yuan Hao's Harbor Restaurant, and invited Xiao Hua to dinner.

Xiao Hua's image is like a university professor, giving people a sense of intimacy, and he is the best candidate for negotiation.

He cut straight to the point and said with a smile: "Wang, you have been resting for a year and a half, are you going to come back this summer?"

Wang Jun didn't talk nonsense, nodded and said: "Yes, I will definitely come back, but I haven't figured out where to stand next. Adam, do you have any good suggestions?"

Xiao Hua cursed secretly in his heart: What a little fox, so I can't ask where you are going, can I?

He remained calm and asked, "Are you leaving the Bulls? Isn't it good to stay in Chicago? Big city, where you established a dynasty, and the fans miss you very much."

"But I don't want to follow Michael Jordan's old path. I want to play comfortably, even if I go to a bottom team." Wang Jun sighed.

Xiao Hua loves to hear these words, his small eyes lit up immediately, he lifted his glasses lightly, and smiled: "Your thinking is not bad, if you can lead a weak team to win the championship, you can prove yourself even more."

"So, will the league support me to go to a weak team? I am quite conflicted now."

"As long as you don't cut your salary and sign the contract strictly according to the regulations, the league will not interfere in any way. We will not support or oppose it, it all depends on your idea." Xiao Hua smiled.

"Then I'm relieved."

Go, go to bad teams like the Kings and Warriors. Xiao Hua thought silently in his heart.

League officials felt that Wang Jun would choose the California team. The Kings and Warriors are the closest to Los Angeles, so going there is the core.

It is difficult for these two teams to win the championship. Wang Jun scored high points to attract fans, which can improve the commercial value of the league. The league hopes to see him become a lone hero.

If Xiao Hua knew that a superstar they were promoting was about to give up his hometown team at his peak and win the championship with Wang Jun's thigh, I don't know how he would feel.

Then, Xiao Hua brought up the matter of making Wang Jun appear on the Star Weekend and asked him to be the judge of the slam dunk contest.

As long as he goes to Dallas, the media will definitely ask where he will come back,

Wang Junxian was troublesome and readily refused. "Sorry, I'm going to screen scripts with Theron at home for the next movie."

Failed to persuade him to change his mind, Xiao Hua gave up.

He brought back good news to Stern, thinking that Wang Jun is addicted to movies, and it is difficult to compete with Kobe, James, Paul, Wade and others when he is distracted.

The next day, CCTV5 invited Wang Jun to be a guest commentator for the All-Star Game, but Wang Jun declined for the same reason. As soon as the news spread, it caused an uproar on the Internet.

There was a discussion on the "China King Forum", and the princes were a little worried. Could it be that Wang Jun really doesn't want to play basketball anymore and is planning to develop in Hollywood?

Star Weekend started in an atmosphere of doubt, complaints.

On the 13th, the league added a new game called the "All-Star Celebrity Game", played before the Rookie Challenge. They invited some entertainment stars to play, but they didn't form a team with the All-Stars.

Without professional players, it won't attract many fans.

In the rookie game, the first-year team upset the second-year team. Evans of the Pistons and Blair of the Spurs became the MVP together. Westbrook of the second-year team scored 40 points and was radiant.

On February 14, when the Eastern Stars were training, James complained in an interview. "We still had the best record in the league this year, but it's not fair that Mo Williams didn't make the All-Star team."

James continued: "We have three top ten three-point shooters in the league, and there are no players to participate in the three-point contest. Obviously, we don't get enough respect."

Stern and others didn't pay attention to James' words, and their minds were full of thinking about how to support a big market team.

That night, Pierce overwhelmed Curry and Billups in the final to become the new three-point leader. Curry wanted to win too much, played abnormally, and only shot 17 points.

There were no new tricks in the dunk contest, only DeRozan scored 50 points in the second dunk, which resonated with the audience.

DeRozan scored a total of 92 points in two dunks in the preliminaries, and Robinson, who scored 89 points in two dunks, advanced to the finals.

Gerald - Wallace and Shannon - Brown's play is disappointing, dunk moves are very simple.

Especially Brown, who cooperated with Kobe in an alley-oop dunk. It was not difficult at all, it was just an ordinary dunk, and everyone was stunned after it was completed.

That's the end? Does this kind of ball appear in every game in the NBA?

In the slam dunk final, after throwing the ball to the backboard, Robinson rebounded and caught the ball in the air to complete a double-handed dunk, which won a lot of applause.

DeRozan's second goal called many spectators to sit in the backcourt to build momentum. He sprinted forward from the backcourt. His indomitable morale and determined expression made all the fans ignite!

Brave boy, hurry up and create a miracle.

Everyone believes that he will try unprecedented moves, such as jumping and dunking from behind the free throw line.

Then, DeRozan ran to the basket in one breath and completed a fairly ordinary two-handed windmill dunk...

After landing, he had an expression of "you didn't expect it, did you?", which was quite wretched.

The commentator of the Japanese radio station went crazy and shouted: "This year's slam dunk contest should not appear in the NBA, it should only appear in "Gintama"!"

The final selection results were announced later. Robinson, who received 51% of the votes, narrowly defeated DeRozan and won the slam dunk contest for the third time in his career.

On the 15th, the NBA All-Star Game was staged. Led by Wade’s 28 points, 11 assists, 6 rebounds and 5 steals, and 12 of 16 shots, the Eastern Stars finally defeated the Western Conference 141 to 139. Wade also won the "MVP of the Star Game" ".

The best performer in the West was Anthony with 27 points and 10 rebounds. Dirk Nowitzki had 22 points at home and Nash had 13 assists.

The game is mainly about performance, but the fight is not exciting.

Wade imitated Tracy McGrady's classic throw board dunk.

"Warcraft" Howard is the most surprising. He not only blocked Anthony in defense, but also scored a three-pointer in the counterattack.

Other than that, there's nothing memorable about it.

The players were generally lackluster, especially Gerald Wallace of the Bobcats, who only scored two points on 1 of 3 shots. There was no room for a blue-collar player like him in the exhibition game.

Tickets outside the All-Star Game were not expensive, and the stadium was filled with 100,000 people, setting a historical record.

Many locals who usually don't have the opportunity to watch the All-Stars went to experience the atmosphere together, and the evaluation they generally gave was "but that's it."

According to media reports, according to statistics, more than 15 million people chose to watch "Saturday Night Live" instead of the NBA All-Star Game that night. As many as 100,000 people watched the game live, but the ratings were only 3.8, setting a record low in 10 years.

What is the ratings ranking of the NBA All-Star Game among the four major professional league star games? In 2006, it was on par with the NFL's Pro Bowl. Since 2007, it has been the third-ranked iron player, only better than the NHL.

The third looks good? The cruel fact is that in 2005 the NHL canceled the All-Star Game due to the lockout, and in 2006 and 2010 it did not host the All-Star Hockey Game because of the Winter Olympics.

After David Stern looked at the statistics, he had to admit that they had to bring Wang Jun back as soon as possible. The NBA has been in a slump since he retired.
