Chapter 639 639. All-Star Weekend

Lu Xun, Anne-Hathaway really heard about it after learning Chinese and Chinese culture. She didn't know if Lu Xun had said this, but seeing Liu Xiu shaking her head in a foolish way, she knew that her boyfriend was talking nonsense again.

Anne Hathaway said: "Last year you were so busy, I thought you were busy this year for the whole holiday, and you were ready to be your assistant. It was nothing... By the way, you turned down the promotion, sponsor Don't you have an opinion?"

"It's okay. I just signed a long-term contract last summer. When I signed the contract, I said that I might not participate in those activities during the All-Star Weekend... and I didn't reject all of them. There will be a new product launch conference for sneakers on the afternoon of the 18th and the morning of the 19th." The endorsement of my peripheral products that you have invested in...

Money is endless. Last year’s All-Star Weekend was so busy. It was planned before the start of last season. At that time, there was nothing else to do. Work should be done. Now that I have you, I don’t want to work if I can’t. . "

"You have a sweet mouth..." Anne-Hathaway rolled her eyes at Liu Xiu, then covered her mouth and laughed...

After taking care of the yard of the new house for two days, Liu Xiu put this matter aside for the first time, and will toss about it later when she has time.

On February 2th, Liu Xiuxin's new year has arrived - his 17th birthday!
Liu Xiu got up early, went to help her mother, uncle, Qinger, and Anne-Hathaway, and prepared a large table of dishes. Without inviting anyone else, Liu Xiu celebrated this birthday with her family.

In the afternoon, he brought his family to the Portland City Hall. The mayor, the vice president of the team, the head of the Oregon Department of Tourism... a bunch of people came and held a press conference.

The Mayor of Portland announced that today, February 2th, will be a new holiday each year, Portland Warden's Day.

This matter has been informed to Liu Xiu a long time ago. It is not a big deal. It is not even a legal festival. It is just a festival that may be marked in city manuals, travel guides, etc. He did not do publicity or show off. things.

On the one hand, it is because this is the treatment that many players have had. Jordan has 3 festivals in Chicago, and Magician and Bird are similar in Los Angeles and Boston.

Also, he suggested to the city hall to name the festival with 'General', but was rejected because no one would think of him on 'General's Day'...

...

The 4 days of pleasant rest time passed in a flash. On February 2th, Liu Xiu brought a large family and came to Houston on the "Rose Bay Prison" lent to him by the boss.

The family went sightseeing, got in the car to sleep and got off the car to take pictures. Liu Xiu started his work here - promoting the warden's third-generation war boots and peripheral products.

Liu Xiu turned down a lot of commercial activities. The sponsors were not very happy, but the sneaker endorsement brand must be very happy. His interaction with the fans in the promotional activities is obviously more active and enthusiastic than in the past two years.

In the past two years, the daily work schedule of the All-Star Weekend ranged from waking up in the morning to going to bed at night. Even if I wanted to interact more with the fans, I was powerless. Physical fatigue was fine, but mental fatigue was the most difficult to solve.

In the evening, Liu Xiu brought a whole family to the All-Star Weekend to watch the triathlon.

In yesterday's rookie game, Liu Xiu's family watched the live broadcast. Iguodala scored 30 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists, leading the sophomore team to easily beat the rookie team 106-96 and won the rookie game MVP.

This rookie competition was not as exciting as Liu Xiu expected, and it was the kind that I didn't regret at all if I didn't go to the scene to watch it.

04届和05届天赋方面没有质的差别，05届有保罗、04届也有霍华德，早一年进入NBA的04届展现出了巨大的整体实力优势。

This is the disadvantage of the rookie competition after the rookie challenge. The talent of the rookies must be significantly better than that of the second-year players. Like the 03 and 02, 01 and 00, there is a qualitative difference in talent. Make up for the strength gap brought about by a year of professional basketball experience.

After arriving at the scene, Liu Xiu saw many teammates also coming.

Although Ray Allen is maverick and difficult to get along with, as long as his teammates come to Houston, they all come to the scene to cheer for him.

How bad is it?
Liu Xiu is the player in the team who has had the most contact with Ray Allen, but in front of the camera, Liu Xiu greeted him enthusiastically, and Ray Allen just hugged him lightly with one hand, and it was as if the greeting was over.

And when Nate Robinson greeted his teammates who came to the scene to cheer for him, the level of cumbersomeness was similar to that of Little Flying Squirrel and Iverson... Liu Xiu was definitely not envious of Little Tudou who grabbed the camera, absolutely not!
As in previous years, Liu Xiu saw a lot of star players joining in the fun, such as Iverson, Kobe, McGrady, Carter, Bosh, Yao Ming... There is no society, my brother Dong.

At first, Liu Xiu thought that the league put Kobe at the small forward position to make room for Nash to start the All-Star, but now he finds out that it should not be, it should be to prevent Anthony from being selected as the All-Star starter.

At 8pm, the eventing began, starting with a skills challenge.

Unlike the players watching the excitement on the sidelines, Liu Xiu took it very seriously.

As soon as the Skills Challenge started, he received a system prompt, paid 3000 healing points, and started collecting training materials for the Skills Challenge.

He has already won the MVP of the Rookie Game and the MVP of the All-Star Game. If he can win all three championships in the three events, he will be able to get a piece of advanced equipment.

Equipment such as 'Little Overlord's Knee Pads', 'Big Black Bear's Ankle Pads', and 'Shoelaces to Prevent Shoes from Being Stepped Off' are of great help to him, so the new equipment is naturally not to be missed.

Last year, I collected the training materials of several participating players, and I plan to collect some more this year to learn from each other's strengths and prepare for the future preparations.

This year he received invitations to both the Skills Challenge and the Three-Point Contest, but he declined both. Firstly, the team is too busy this year and has no time and energy to prepare for the competition. Also, the preparation for the Slam Dunk Contest is still far behind. At least a few more bounces are needed...

There are 4 players participating in this year's Skills Challenge, including James, Wade, Paul, and defending champion Nash.

No matter how you look at it, Nash's skills crush his opponents, and Nash set a new record for this competition with a time of 25.8 seconds in the final last year.

As a result, Nash, who got the No. 1 pick in the preliminaries and was the first to play, announced the end of the game in advance with a time of 52.8 seconds.

There have been cases where the game time was too long and the results were canceled directly, but among the players with achievements, Nash, who set the best score last year, set the worst score this year. The worst score before was 51.7 seconds...

Not surprisingly, no one scored worse than Nash in this year's preliminaries!But what is surprising is that the other contestant who was eliminated was not one of Janeway, but rookie Paul!
