Chapter 253 Individual Competition

At the end of the song, Bruce sat under the stage, looking at the graceful and charming Mariah Carey, feeling indescribable in his heart!

Ever since he came into contact with these unattainable football stars and stars in his previous life, Bruce has been feeling emotional from time to time!
"Maria, your singing voice is so wonderful!" Seeing Mariah Carey walking towards his table with a smile, Bruce stood up slowly, and helped her pull the chair away with a smile.

"Heck, that's the most sincere compliment I've ever heard!"

Although Bruce's words were somewhat polite, who doesn't like compliments!
Afterwards, after Jordan and Stern sincerely thanked these celebrities who made contributions to charity, this very meaningful event came to an end!
Bruce, who was a little tired, drove back to the hotel alone, and even rejected some dispensable parties during the period.

Walking into the room, Bruce took a comfortable hot bath first, and then got into work!
As the mid-term deadline is approaching, although Bruce is not very interested in this trading period, the potential trade may have some small surprises for him!

The next day, according to the time set by the league, Bruce hurried into the MIC center arena at [-] pm when the three-point contest, slam dunk contest and rookie challenge were about to start!
"Hey, boss, this is not your habit!" Carter said with a smile, looking at Bruce who had just arrived.

"Dude, I'm not as laid-back as you guys!" Bruce pushed him pretending to be serious, and then asked enthusiastically, "Who do you think will win the slam dunk and three-point contest today?"

"I will be optimistic about Ray (Allen) for three-pointers. The winner of the slam dunk contest will be a bit confused!" Carter said slowly without thinking about it.

In the last All-Star, Ray Allen did not win the final championship due to his abnormal performance, but Hornacek, who played like him, of course, his victory is also regarded as the most successful three-point contest ever. Speechless champion!
Although there are many super shooters such as Alan Houston, Rashad Lewis and Peja Stojakovic in this competition, from all aspects, Ray Allen's more exquisite shooting skills are even more impressive. People are optimistic!
Since the slam dunk contest lost the participation of Carter, Francis, McGrady and others, this slam dunk contest has been described by fans from time to time as a slam dunk contest that will not be so exciting!

Apart from these, what excited Bruce the most was the Rookie Challenge.

"I didn't qualify for the rookie game this year, but with guys like Steve (Francis) Elton (Brand) Lamar (Odom) and Andre (Miller) involved, this class The rookie game will get a lot of attention!" Carter was in a very good mood—he counted the rookies who had attracted a lot of attention, and when he thought of Francis, who had a showdown with him in the finals last time, he said excitedly: "Look, Steve is going to put on a really good show for us!"

Then, just as Carter predicted before, with the start of the three-point contest, although Lewis and Houston performed very well, they all showed the willingness to bow down under the astonishing performance of Ray Allen. attitude!
Finally, after Stern presented the three-point championship trophy to Ray Allen with a smile, Carter looked at Bruce proudly: "Boss, you see, I knew Ray would definitely win the championship!"

"Okay, but I didn't bet with you!" Bruce looked at Carter, who was interested in begging for something from him, a little dumbfounded. He thought about the conversation between the two before they started, and said playfully.

"You." Carter looked at Bruce in astonishment. When he saw the other's playful expression, he could only shrug his shoulders helplessly: "Boss, shall we take a gamble next?"

"Haha, what are you betting on?" Bruce said with great interest.

"What do you think of the champion of the slam dunk contest?" Carter said with an excited glance as Desmond Mason and others slowly walked into the court.

"What?" Bruce looked at the players on the court pretending to be considerate, especially when he saw Mason's confident expression, a smile flashed in his eyes, and under Carter's expectant look, he said, "Of course, I'm optimistic about it." Desmond!!"

"Desmond??" Carter looked at the court in surprise. Although Mason has shown a good dunk ability this season, with the participation of Ricky Davis, who performed well last year, I am afraid that Mason Still a little underwhelming!
"Aha, then I'll choose Ricky!" Carter said confidently, looking at Ricky Davis, who was obviously more confident than the last All-Star on the court!

"Okay, so what are we betting on?" Bruce looked at Carter and said very interestingly.

"bet."

Just when Carter was about to say the bet, 6 players on the court had already started warming up before the game!
"Gentlemen and ladies, welcome to the MIC center arena!" The stadium DJ shouted excitedly to all the fans present, and then said before the upcoming slam dunk contest: "First of all, congratulations to Ray Allen for getting The champion of the three-point contest, we are really excited about his wonderful performance!"

"Next, the ones who will give us the best performances are Ricky Davis of the Hornets, Strommel Swift of the Grizzlies, DeShawn Stevens of the Jazz. Sen, Desmond Mason of the Sonics, Corey Maggette of the Clippers and Jonathan Bender of the Pacers!"

Hearing the DJ calling out several players who are about to play in turn, Bruce couldn't help looking at the court!
"These players have amazing dunk skills, and everyone has shown us their best dunks this season!"

Under the DJ's commentary, Swift, who was the first to appear on the stage, moved a little bit, and then, under the signal of the referee, held the ball in both hands. With the advantage of his height, he took great strides and quickly moved towards the basket. run in the direction!
I saw that when Swift was two steps away from the basket, with a slightly violent loop with both hands, he suddenly dunked the ball into the basket!

Looking at Swift's dunk, although it feels good, this action really seems a bit commonplace!

When several judges gave Swift 8 points and 7 points in turn, this fully explained the monotony of this dunk!
Afterwards, after all the participating players completed the first round of competition one after another, Mason really advanced all the way to the final with his outstanding performance!

"Vince, do you have anything to say?" Bruce looked at Carter, who looked a little unhappy, playfully, but his heart was full of joy!
"Uh, okay!" Carter shrugged gloomily, and then said treacherously under Bruce's slightly expectant expression: "I didn't say anything about the bet, it seems that an expensive buffet is indispensable! "

"Oh, God, Vince, this is your bet?" Bruce said pretending to be surprised, and then his expression changed suddenly. Under Carter's "panicked" expression, he clasped his hands proudly on his chest, a picture of what can you do? What do I look like!
"If that's the case, then I can only renew your contract with an average annual salary of 80 yuan!"

"Oh no!!" Carter's eyes were full of smiles, and he looked at Bruce exaggeratedly!
With the final decision between Desmond Mason and Deshaun Stevenson, Mason was awarded the trophy by Stern, and the dunk contest ended in some disappointment!
"The final champion of this slam dunk contest was only won with a total of 88 points in two actions. This is really surprising and regrettable!" Back at the hotel, Bruce and Carter sat in the restaurant of the hotel, not without regret Said!
"Haha, is this the result of not having me participate?" Carter stuffed the last piece of steak into his mouth proudly, and said in a very happy mood!
"You are really a narcissistic guy!" Bruce looked at Carter amusedly, then wiped his mouth, called the waiter, and after paying the bill, the two returned to the arena after a short rest!

After finishing the individual competitions in the morning, under the expectation of all the fans, after a good performance in this rookie game, Francis and others walked out of the player channel one after another, amidst the cheers of the fans. The warm-up before the game began!
I don't know if the final result of the game in the morning has been guessed by the stars. The delicious food before the All-Star game has attracted a lot of stars to the scene!
"Hi, Bruce, long time no see!" Wearing a chic suit, O'Neal walked over with a big grin!

Looking at O'Neill's chubby figure, if it weren't for his tall figure, Bruce would definitely make fun of him!

"Shaquille, how does it feel to not be able to participate?" Bruce couldn't help but joked when he thought that O'Neal could not participate in the main game due to injury.

"Aha, this feels so bad!" O'Neill squeezed Carter away with a smirk with his fat butt, exaggerating his anger!

"God, if you don't play, I think I will tell Cole!" Bruce pushed O'Neal amusedly, and said dumbfounded.

"Really??" O'Neill exaggeratedly widened his eyes and said seriously.

"Of course, you are a big fat man who is born to act in comedy!" Bruce looked at O'Neill "seriously", and nodded vigorously!
"Guys, what did you hear??" O'Neal's unbelievable voice suddenly came out, which made most of the surrounding stars look over curiously!
"Shaquille, what did you hear?" Duncan looked back and forth between Bruce and O'Neal, and asked curiously!

Iverson, who was sitting on the other side closer to Bruce, explained loudly as if he was afraid of chaos: "Mr. Bruce said that if Shaquille didn't play, he would be very happy to sign this ridiculous man. Big Fatty!"

"Hahaha!!"

Iverson's funny shout made all these super giants burst out laughing!

　Because the 5 long holiday is coming soon, due to the nature of the unit, many arrangements and contingency plans for the long holiday have to be made.

　　Therefore, there may be two updates in a few days, please forgive me!
