Dominate the basketball world, starting from the skyhook skill

Chapter 173 The upcoming all-star

Although the camera on the field did not find the figure of the Bucks coach Griffin, the reporters outside the field will not let go of this rambunctious person.

The reporters in Los Angeles continued the Western journalists' usual traits of fear of chaos. When Griffin, who was about to reorganize his emotions, appeared in the interview room, they rushed forward, as if seeing a hyena whose prey had just arrived on the African grassland.

This is Los Angeles, this is America, a country where entertainment comes first!

Griffin sat down, and the first question made his old face dry for a while.

"Coach Griffin, you said before the game that you would make targeted arrangements for Li Kevin, let him fall into the ocean of the Bucks, and let him taste the pain of the NBA."

“然而今天李凯文却拿下了38分6篮板5助攻4抢断4盖帽的超级数据，对了，这还是他第一节受困于身体原因没怎么得分、第四节提前下场的情况下拿到的。”

"Is this what you call the suffering of the NBA? Do you mean letting a rookie lead the team to defeat you?"

"Then I have to say that many people are willing to eat this bitterness!"

Griffin smiled wryly, not knowing how to round up what he said earlier.

It can only be said that the head of the Lakers in the post-James era, Li Kevin.

Very good at running and... fighting.

In fact, after Antetokounmpo played again in the last few minutes of the fourth quarter, Li Kaiwen also felt that his physical strength had bottomed out.

If the Bucks didn't dig such a big hole for themselves at the beginning, it's really hard to say what the result of this game will be.

Li Kaiwen can only be thankful that he is in the West, and the possibility of encountering the Bucks before the finals is zero.

The Bucks' muscular confrontation was indeed fierce. After the game, Kevin Li fell into a dream when he returned home. The muscle soreness all over his body made him twitch in his sleep.

After conquering the Bucks, the Lakers also ushered in a sweet schedule.

Throughout January, the Lakers had a record of 1 wins and 10 losses, driving the Spurs from the second place in the West and only two games away from the Nuggets in the West.

Li Kaiwen got his wish and won the best rookie in the Western Conference in January, and almost set a record.

In the selection of the best player of the month, he narrowly lost to Jokic by 2 votes, and almost became the first person since Larry Bird to win the rookie of the month and the best player of the month at the same time.

Although this history did not manage to make a success, he was awarded another honor.

That is to become the second Chinese player to be selected as an All-Star starter in his rookie season after Yao Ming!
This year's NBA All-Star Game will be held in Indianapolis.

In December 2016, the NBA adjusted the voting rules for the All-Star starters.From the previous "fans vote to determine the starting lineup" to "fans, players, and media vote together to decide".

According to the new rules, fans’ votes account for 50%, players’ votes and media votes each account for 25%, that is, players’ vote ranking = fan vote ranking × 50% + player vote ranking × 25% + media vote ranking × 25% , if there are multiple players with the same ranking, the player with more fan votes will be ranked first.

In the end, the top 2 backcourt players and the top 3 forward players in the East and West became the All-Star starters in the East and West.

Although he failed to pass the fans' decision to enter the starting lineup, Kevin Li still conquered the league's players and media with his outstanding performance, and won the starting qualification for the Western Conference All-Star Game!
Now, the roster of the All-Star Game is also confirmed.

Since this year is still the continuation of the cross-selection of the captains of the two teams, Curry and Giannis Antetokounmpo, to determine the starting lineup, the stars of the East and West were all disrupted again, and a big fight began.

For the Antetokounmpo team, Antetokounmpo first selected Li Kaiwen into the team. After losing to the Lakers last time, he calmed down and found that this kid really played well, so he also seized the opportunity in this All-Star. With him and Li Kaiwen as the core, a super lineup has been built.

Antetokounmpo, Kevin Lee, Durant, Tatum, Doncic.

The Curry team over there is Curry, Jokic, Zion Williamson, Mitchell, and Big Eyebrow.

This is destined to be a match between Mars and Earth.

On the bench, Irving, Mitchell, Embiid, Lillard... Wait for a bunch of old faces to continue to appear. In addition to Li Kaiwen, the biggest surprise this year, No. [-] pick Wen Banyama was also selected as the All-Star substitute for the Curry team.

Of course, Harden, who was automatically discriminated against as soon as February entered, also lost the All-Star selection again, and it is foreseeable that as he gets older, his chances of being selected for the All-Star again are getting slimmer.

What a hero's twilight!
Even because the All-Star substitutes are voted by fans, the vast number of Huaxia fans almost voted in Zhou Qi who hadn't played a few games.

And this three-day All-Star Weekend, it is certain that Kevin Li is the busiest person.

Not only did he have to participate in the All-Star Game on the last day, but he also had to participate in the Rookie Challenge on the first day and the Skills Challenge on the second day.

Before leaving for Indiana, Li Kaiwen decided to use up a lottery draw that he had won in the last month to increase his winning chips for the upcoming All-Star Game.

"Start the lottery!"

"Stop the lottery!"

The results came out quickly.

"Congratulations to the host for winning the skill: Serpentine Breakthrough (Manu Ginobili)!"

"Skill description: Enable the skill wearer to break through the opponent's defense with a strange posture and pace, and increase the layup attribute by 5 points."

"A sports car in good times is a Buddha in adversity, and a demon sword in a desperate situation cuts down chaos. ——Manu Ginobili"

Li Kaiwen, who was drawing a lottery with his eyes closed on the team bus, slapped his thigh, awakening Zhou Qi who was sleeping next to him.

Manu Ginobili's Serpentine Breakthrough!
The Argentine "20-minute Jordan" is one of the strongest sixth men in NBA history.

4 championships in his career, 1 best sixth man, 2 NBA All-Stars, the Spurs' steals leader in team history, and was selected into the Hall of Fame.

In addition to these, he also led the Argentine team to defeat the American dream team at the Athens Olympics in 2004 and won the gold medal.

This win is also the first time that the Dream Team has lost in an international competition.

At his peak, his "serpentine breakthrough" could score all kinds of high scores in the 00s who advocated defense. Even the team's defensive master Bruce Bowen said that he could not defend him.

Li Kaiwen's previous breakthroughs were mainly based on strength and speed. Once he encounters a team with a tall insider and a lot of strikers, the effect of the direct breakthrough will be greatly reduced.

Now with the help of "serpentine breakthrough", Li Kaiwen is confident that he can make a big splash in the All-Star Game!
