Chapter 210 The Storm Before the All-Stars

"This is an extremely bad remark. As an influential public program and person, I really can't believe that they have promoted such wrong values. I think CBS should apologize for this matter." The person in charge of the ESPN entertainment group said in Cbs was publicly criticized in its own newspaper.

Cbs didn't care about ESPN's accusations. The head of CBS' TV station told the media that this was ESPN's jealousy of CBS's popularity: "We have the right to pursue their inappropriate remarks."

But the reality is really just like ESPN accused, in this age when countless people want to be famous, the final summary of this episode of cbs show many people who want to be famous but are struggling to find a shortcut.

Although such a shortcut has existed for a long time, this program has undoubtedly made this so-called shortcut the fastest way to become famous in the hearts of countless people, and various celebrity scandals have appeared in just a few days.

What's even more exaggerated is that this incident has affected several first-line Hollywood male stars, and several waves of bed photos have been exposed, and the incident has intensified over time.

Not only big-screen actors, but even TV actors and first-class singers are involved, not to mention a lot of athletes who have messed up on the sidelines, which directly caused the entire cultural and sports circle to fall into a turmoil. Part of the reason comes from this episode of cbs.

After Apple launched its first mobile phone on January 1, Lin Sen, as a spokesperson, also entered the eyes of some people who don't care about basketball games.

This caused Lin Sen to be harassed by many women who tried to use him to get out. Lin Sen encountered a lot of trouble whether it was training or traveling.

Stan Van Gundy faced the media and publicly complained that these women affected the team's state in this way, but the madness of the women was obviously unstoppable.

In private, Van Gundy even asked Lin Sen to let his real girlfriend come over quickly, trying to use the real girlfriend to stop those women who tried to become famous through Lin Sen.

Just when the Magic wanted to continue their winning streak and increase the winning streak to eight games, the Orlando Magic ushered in the Los Angeles Clippers at their home court, the Waterhouse Center.

This season's Los Angeles record is hovering around eighth in the West. Linsen played against the Clippers when he was in the Timberwolves, and relied on key steals at the last moment to help the Timberwolves beat the Clippers.

But this time Lin Sen failed to help the team beat the Los Angeles Clippers. In the first half of the game, Lin Sen was as good as ever.

Although the scoring was far less eye-catching than the previous two games, Lin Sen scored 11 points and 6 assists at the end of the half, leading the Magic to lead the Los Angeles Clippers by 8 points at home.

Although the 8-point lead is not big, it made the Orlando fans at the scene feel that the eight-game winning streak is not far away from them.

However, just as Lin Sen and Dwight Howard were going to the player tunnel to return to the locker room, two women suddenly jumped out. Lin Sen and Howard thought they were enthusiastic fans. Lin Sen, who was much shorter than Howard when he was much shorter, was directly caught One of the women forced a kiss.

When Lin Sen reacted, the woman did not avoid the reporter's shooting, and even directly told the camera who she was.

On the other hand, Dwight Howard was hit by a woman who took the initiative to hit her chest. This unexpected situation directly shocked everyone.

"God, is this crazy?" The live commentator really couldn't believe the scene in front of him.

"Oh my God, that woman took my hand and touched her breasts," Howard yelled.

"You still want to feel how soft her breasts are?"

"If I could..." Just as Dwight Howard was about to say the truth, he immediately realized that the source of the voice was Stan Van Gundy.

"No, how come, I'm angry about this, it's too bad." Howard immediately showed indignation.

But everyone could see the excitement on Howard's face, while Lin Sen's expression was normal.

The intermission episode was unexpected by everyone, and the state of the Magic in the second half was also unexpected by everyone.

After the start of the second half, Dwight Howard, who was in excellent form in the first half, seemed extraordinarily excited, but the excitement brought about not outstanding performance but constant turnovers and iron strikes, and was even beaten by Elton Brand at the basket. Capped three times.

Off the court, Stan Van Gundy frowned. Howard's state made him very dissatisfied. In comparison, Lin Sen's state also experienced ups and downs, but he was much better than Howard in comparison.

But the Clippers have completely found the feeling. In the middle of the fourth quarter of the game, the Los Angeles Clippers are still 2 points behind the Magic.

At this moment, there was a sudden change on the court, because Mike Dunleavy chose the tactic that made Stan Van Gundy particularly angry-the slashing tactic.

The Clippers continued to foul Howard under the boos of the audience, sent Howard to the free throw line and stopped the clock. The rhythm of the game was completely disrupted, and the game was even more ugly.

"This kind of game is really ugly. Is this Dwight's free throw training time?" said the on-site commentator watching Howard who kept walking to the free throw line.

Howard's poor free throw percentage made Mike Dunleavy firm, cutting Huo tactics.

In less than 4 minutes, Howard got to the free throw line seven times in a row.

But Howard only made 14 free throws in these 4 free throw attempts. The poor free throw percentage gave the Clippers opportunity after opportunity.

When the game came to the last 2 minutes stipulated by the NBA that fouls against players without the ball were not allowed, the Los Angeles Clippers stopped the slashing tactic, but at this time the Clippers had already scored 4 points by virtue of the 6-minute slashing tactic leading edge.

The fans at the scene were looking forward to the Magic's reversal in the last 2 minutes, but the Magic fans were finally disappointed.

They didn't expect that they would lose to the Los Angeles Clippers, who had lost three games in a row, at their home court.

"This is our moment. This is a tactic. I don't think there is anything wrong with it." Mike Dunleavy said with a smile to reporters.

Compared to the Clippers winner, Stan Van Gundy has Don't Mess With Me written all over his face.

"I don't know why there are so many situations like this now, I know that Wood and Dwight are very popular especially with the girls, but the current situation has obviously deviated and even affected our rhythm.

Although some people will say that Dwight missed those free throws tonight is the main reason for our loss, but I don't think, I think those people affected us.

Like ESPN said, I think cbs as the national surname needs to take some responsibility. "Stan Van Gundy, who walked into the post-match press conference, looked at the reporters in the audience and said.

"Stan, what do you think should be done to prevent this from happening?"

Van Gundy took a sip of water: "I don't think this is what I should consider, because I have no way to prevent this from happening, unless we can only put male fans in the scene, but this is obviously unrealistic. It's all about guiding.

It’s not simply making news that they can get what they want, success will not come for no reason, I think God is fair, choosing such an impulsive way will only make them regret later. "

"Wood, what do you think about this? Is this the reason that affects your state today?"

"Wood, you were kissed at halftime tonight and someone said you enjoyed it? Can you talk about your thoughts at that time?"

"Wood, who do you think should be mainly responsible for the team's failure today and the end of the winning streak? You or Dwight's final free throw?"

……

"We played well in the first half, but we struggled in the second half, the rim was covered, but I know you can't feel that good every night and it's unrealistic.

The coach is right. I have been affected recently, especially during the intermission. I don’t mind if they have friendly names, but in fact they all come with a purpose. I think not only me, but also others. same feeling.

Here I implore every friend who has such an idea to withdraw such an idea, because doing so may not necessarily get what you want.

And I think every thing has its law, and the excessive occurrence of this kind of situation is obviously not in line with the law. I think it is necessary to prevent such a situation from happening. I don’t want to say too much about the other things. To be able to find myself. "

This way of gaining positions is like a wave, which makes many people unable to adapt, and also disrupts the rhythm of life of too many people.

Compared with those celebrities who were used to expose their pornographic photos or even other inside stories, Lin Sen and Howard undoubtedly suffered much less damage.

Many people in the entire cultural and sports circles and even in the business world have been hurt by this way of being out of position. Just before the Magic away game against the Phoenix Suns, the Hollywood Screen Actors Guild, the Hollywood Directors Guild, the Hollywood Screenwriters Guild, the American Singers Association and the official union of the four major American sports leagues cbs The radio station issued a statement against the purposeful gaining positions that hurt others.

Although it sounds like it has no legal effect, all parties involved in the statement have shown their actual attitudes.

For a while in this issue, fans who gained fame by relying on pornographic scandals and other incidents were blocked, and the tough attitudes of many parties gradually calmed down the turmoil.

On January 1, facing the Phoenix Suns, who had defeated him, Lin Sen showed an excellent state.

In the game, Linsen was not entangled by Marion one-on-one like he was when the Timberwolves played against the Suns. Instead, he used teamwork to attack. Penalties only conceded 14 goals.

In the end, the Magic defeated the powerful Phoenix Suns in the away game relying on the outstanding performance of Lin Sen and Howard.

At this time, the results of the third round of the NBA All-Star voting were also released. Yao Ming of the Houston Rockets was far ahead of all the participating players with a total of 1629832 votes, which was higher than the No.2 Stoudemire in the Western Center list. As many as 100 million votes.

The leading position in the Eastern Conference vote is LeBron James of the Cleveland Cavaliers. At the end of the third round of voting, James' number of votes has come to 1587738.

The answer to the Denver Nuggets who switched from the East to the West. Iverson ranked third among the guards in the West with 1157031 votes. The top two are still Kobe of the Lakers and McGrady of the Rockets, but the second McGrady has a lead of less than 5 votes .

Lin Sen, who also changed because of the trade, ranked second in the Eastern Conference in the second round, and still ranked second after the results of the third round, but the number of votes was only less than 1191403 less than the number one Wade 4 ten thousand.

Vince Carter, the third half-man and half-god of the Eastern Conference guards, is 30 votes behind Lin Sen, while Arenas and Carter, the fourth Eastern Conference guards, have a gap of less than [-] votes.

Not surprisingly, Lin Sen will become the starting player of the All-Star Game in another rookie season after Yao Ming.

Linsen's teammate Dwight Howard trailed Shaquille O'Neal, who was still recovering, by 80 votes.

When the results of the first two rounds were released, Lin Sen’s votes were attacked by many people. After this time, the criticism of Lin Sen still exists but is obviously much smaller. Only the media in New Jersey will speak sourly about Lin Sen. A large part of the votes came from women and Chinese fans from across the ocean.

"I think Wood deserves such a number of votes. I won't be surprised even if it is higher. I think everyone should see his outstanding performance." Stan Van Gundy made no secret of his support for Linsen.

And Otis Smith is also making the final active operation, hoping to help Linsen and Howard enter this year's All-Star stage.

Lin Sen's performance did not disappoint those who voted for him. Before the results of the fourth and final round of the All-Star voting were announced on January [-], Lin Sen once again led the Magic to three consecutive victories.

On January 1th, fans and players, as well as the uniforms of each team, are waiting for the announcement of the final voting results for the 20 NBA All-Star Game.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the nba official website officially announced the voting results. Some people were happy and some were worried.

Yao Ming was selected as the starting lineup for the Western All-Star Game for the fifth consecutive year, but in terms of votes, Yao Ming, who had been in the leading position in the first three rounds, was surpassed by last year's All-Star Game mvp LeBron James.

In the end, the little emperor James became the "vote king" of the 2516049 All-Star Game with 2007 votes, and this number of votes also ranked second in NBA history, second only to Yao Ming's record of 2558278 last year. .

Yao Ming received 2451718 votes this year, ranking fourth in history.

In the attention-grabbing competition for the starting guard spot in the Western Conference, McGrady defeated the "answer" Iverson who had just switched to the Western Conference with 1942796 votes, and was selected as an All-Star for the seventh time in his career.

The other three starters in the West are Lakers guard Kobe Bryant, Spurs forward Tim Duncan and Linson's former teammate Timberwolves forward Kevin Garnett.

In the Eastern Conference lineup, Shaquille O'Neal was selected to the All-Star Game for the 14th consecutive year at the center position.

Ticket king James and Chris Bosh, who led the Raptors to an outstanding record, started with the Eastern striker.

But the most eye-catching is the rookie Lin Sen who has been the second guard in the Eastern Conference in the first three rounds.

As a rookie, Lin Sen finally won 2129591 votes. In the end, he not only kept his starting guard position in the Eastern Conference, but also left behind Wade, who was in the leading position in the first three rounds.

Although people are already mentally prepared for Lin Sen to start in the All-Star Game, Lin Sen's final votes are only behind James, Yao Ming and Kobe Bryant in the league. Nearly 3000 tickets were sold.

This number of votes undoubtedly shocked many people and was very tasty. New Jersey, Washington, and Miami naturally stood for the interests of their players and publicly stated that the league should impose certain restrictions on voting.

"This number of votes is a bit unexpected, but it is also a symbol of your popularity, and you finally don't need to wear other people's sneakers anymore."

Listening to what David Falk said on the other end of the phone, Lin Sen was extremely excited.

"Adidas will send your personal signature shoes to Orlando in the near future, and then they will conduct commercial shooting in Orlando. They will officially launch your first personal signature shoes during the All-Star Weekend in Las Vegas."

From the beginning of playing, Lin Sen has been extremely envious of those players who have their own signature shoes. Having a personal signature shoe is undoubtedly a symbol of identity, status and ability.

"This is just the beginning. You will have the second and third generations in the future. I believe your shoes will be a hit. In addition, the league has officially sent out invitations. They invite you to participate in the three-point and dunk contests and skill challenges of the All-Star Game. game, plus you need to participate in the All-Star Game and the Rookie Challenge, you are too busy, you can choose your surname to participate." ""

"so much?"

Lin Sen even suspected that there was something wrong with his ears.

"Yes, there are so many. If you participate in all of them, I suspect that you will not be able to bear it. What's more, I have arranged a job for you during this period, so from my personal point of view, you have to make a choice."

"do you have any good advice?"

"Of course, I have already thought about it for you. I personally suggest not to participate in the All-Star Rookie Game. After all, there will be a more influential All-Star Game later on.

To be honest, it is very good to be able to participate in the slam dunk contest. Michael participated in that year and has gained a lot of influence since then.

But now the slam dunk contest has fallen into a bottleneck since its peak in 2000 and it is not particularly brilliant, but David Stern definitely wants you to participate in the slam dunk contest.

Then you will become the first person of yellow race to participate in the slam dunk contest in NBA history. Such a gimmick can guarantee the ratings of the slam dunk contest and may even create a new high.

And if you don’t participate, we can also use it to cause topics, just like LeBron James, but your topic name is not worse than him. After you don’t participate this year, they will definitely invite you. I personally recommend not to participate. "

Lin Sen listened carefully to David Falk's suggestion. As long as there are a few players who don't have longing for dunks, this is why Lin Sen will never give up dunks when he has the opportunity under normal circumstances in the game.

In the game, Lin Sen's dunks did leave a deep impression on many people. Whether it was the excitement of the dunks on the court or his physical fitness data, he gained great popularity.

But David Falk's words are also very reasonable. He didn't prepare anything specially. He still needs to spend more time practicing his mid-range shooting and strength.

"Okay then, reject the slam dunk contest and rookie challenge. The three-point contest and skill contest should be fine, right?"

"Of course no problem. Although these two items are not as influential as the slam dunk contest and the main game, fortunately they don't require much energy from you."

"Well, you can help me arrange everything."

Lin Sen hung up the phone, and the past six months echoed in his mind. The time from the draft to the present has passed too fast.

In the early days of entering the league, his idea was just to enjoy basketball, and he didn't even want to make much effort, but as time went by, Lin Sen changed his original idea.

To become a legendary player is Lin Sen's own goal.

Although the league has not officially announced who will be invited to participate in the slam dunk contest, three-point contest and skill challenge, reporters continue to find out who will participate in which competition.

When the news came out that Lin Sen would participate in the three individual games of the All-Star Weekend, the entire league was shocked.

If the facts are really as the news broke, Lin Sen's popularity will undoubtedly reach a new height.

It also shows that the league's praise of Lin Sen is not convincing to everyone. Most people are more or less dissatisfied with Lin Sen receiving such attention.

"Yes, Wood's dunks are good, but I don't think he is eligible to participate in the dunk contest. The three-point contest is what he should participate in." As last year's dunk contest champion New York Knicks Little Potato Nate . Robinson said in an interview with reporters.

LeBron James, who is this year's All-Star ticket king, expressed his opinion in an interview with reporters: "This is not a normal scene. I think the nba is a bit off the development track now. I don't think the nba should deliberately ask someone to Although he has this ability, I think the eyes of the whole world should see that his ability has not reached that point."

Although James did not directly call names, everyone knew who he was talking about.

Not only Nate Robinson and LeBron James, but Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade have expressed their views on Linson's participation in the All-Star Game weekend.

"What's wrong? Wood has this ability. If he doesn't have this ability, I can't think of anyone? The All-Star Weekend is a show, isn't it? Some people turn this show into a competition for the trophy. This is the change." The development of the NBA." As Lin Sen's former teammate Kevin Garnett, he directly stood up to support him.

And Iverson, who scored 49 points against Lin Sen, also stood up to support Lin Sen. To Lin Sen's surprise, Kobe Bryant also stood up to speak for him: "Wood Lin, a great guy , In time, he will become a super existence in this league, I have watched his games and played against him, I know his ability, why can’t he participate in so many games, I think he has this ability.”

Just as the All-Star Weekend incident was raging, Lin Sen went away to challenge the New Jersey Nets.

The New Jersey media is expecting the Nets to give that rookie a look at their home court, while the entire league is staring at Lin Sen. Some people expect Lin Sen to perform well, and most people expect Lin Sen to make a fool of himself. (To be continued.)
