Basketball Legends: Strikers Are King

The All-Star Game is a grand event for fans. They can vote to form a team of popular players to show off their unique skills and gain cheers from the fans at the scene;

For ordinary players, these precious 7 days of rest in the long regular season schedule are enough to prepare them for the second half of the game;

Star players like it even more. Although the All-Stars will take up their rest time, if they are selected to participate in the All-Stars, it will be a good thing for them to increase their popularity.

Before the All-Star game, there are a series of pre-events such as the Rookie Challenge, Shooting Stars, Skills Challenge, Three-Point Contest and Slam Dunk Contest. There are also various activities interspersed with various interviews with famous players and the participation of popular players.

Various signings, etc.

Only George, the Pacers' only youngster, participated in the Rookie Challenge, which is normal.

There are 60 people from the East and West on the shortlist for the All-Star voting. The Pacers' record is not outstanding enough, and the traffic is not big enough. If you want to make the All-Stars, you have to rely on the support of fans. Granger's vote count is not even better than that of the Magic.

Turkoglu of the Bulls, Luer Deng and Boozer of the Bulls.

Except for Granger, Stephenson and others who will come to the scene to cheer George, the rest of the team has their own arrangements.

It is indeed lively for the players to get together, but when they go to Orlando, they are just one of many players. The spotlight will always be on those few people. In this case, why bother asking for trouble?

Qi Tian naturally carried out the original plan with West and went to that distant place to have a look.

Like many rising cities in the United States, Indiana's pillar industry is also very developed industrial manufacturing. High-quality limestone from the south is supplied as building materials for the construction of the Empire State Building, Rockefeller Center, the United Nations Headquarters, the Pentagon and other buildings.

What makes Qitian most satisfied is that because the racial composition of the population is very complex, there is almost no discrimination.

The largest proportion of the population is non-Hispanic whites, with more than 80% being African Americans, Hispanics or Latinos, Asian Americans, Native Americans and mixed races of two or more races.

Today, he will return to his hometown with his parents, accompanied by David West, who is very interested in China, and his assistant and translator.

For this trip, they will spend more than ten hours on the plane.

But after getting off the plane and looking at his parents with tears in their eyes, Qi Tian felt that all the suffering he had endured was worth it.

The group of them took a bus for several hours before arriving at their parents' hometown, Taotuan Village.

Just after turning the corner, Qi Tian saw dozens of people gathered in the village square, holding banners:

"Welcome our relatives Qi Yuanli, Li Zuxiang and Qi Tian to go home."

"Coming, coming!"

"arrive!"

"hurry up!"

Seeing the bus approaching, the crowd immediately started shouting, pulled out several large plates of firecrackers and set them off.

"Crack, crackle!..."

"Third brother!"

Qi Yuanli got off the bus and hugged his younger brother Qi Yuanxin tightly.

"I miss you so much!"

Qi Yuanli left home when he was young and traveled across the ocean to the United States. He has not been back for nearly forty years. Seeing that his younger brother, who is five years younger than him, has almost reached the age of knowing his destiny, he can't help but burst into tears.

"It's me, I came back late..."

The people next to them were also moved by their affection, and many of them touched the moist corners of their eyes.

Qi Tian, ​​on the other hand, looked at his mother with some embarrassment.

"Mom, why don't I want to cry? Am I too indifferent?"

Mother Li Zuxiang shook her head and said:

"These people are your father's memories. It's normal for you not to feel them."

"is that so?"

Qi Yuanli and Qi Yuanxin sighed for a while before asking their son to come over and meet his fifth uncle.

Qi Yuanxin looked at his nephew who was just over two meters old and was filled with joy.

The Qi family took Qi Tian and others back to their ancestral home. After comforting their ancestors, they took them to Qi Yuanxin's house for dinner.

Qi Tian was a little worried that West would be unbalanced if others ignored him. After eating, he followed West out for a walk and asked:

"David, I'm so sorry, you have become a supporting role."

In order to accommodate the Qi Tian family's schedule, West changed his planned activities for sneaker manufacturers.

West looked at the old-fashioned buildings in Taotuan Village with excitement, followed by his assistant and translator.

"No, Qi, this is the best choice."

He saw the old man sunbathing on the roadside, stopped and said to Qi Tian,

"I have to thank you for being able to see this with my own eyes!"

Without waiting for Qi Tian to speak, he walked straight towards a few old people.

"Oh, this black charcoal head!"

The bald old man, who was concentrating on studying the chess game in front of him, saw his eyes darken, and then he saw the two-meter-tall strong man next to him.

"Imagine howling~"

West greeted them in non-standard Chinese, and then sat on the maza with a warm greeting.

"Oh, this is the boy from Lao Qi's family. He is just as strong as they say!"

The bald old man showed off his eight dentures that he had just installed.

"It's just this skin color. It's so tanned that it reflects light!"

The gray-haired old man next to him immediately laughed at his friend:

"Old Yutou, you are really out of your mind. How can you be a kid from the Qi family?"

"Why not?"

The bald old man immediately became anxious.

"His skin color is obviously black!"

After hearing what the white-haired old man said, he immediately made up his mind:

"Maybe Guangzi found a black wife and inherited it!"

Guangzi is the nickname of Qi Tian's father, Qi Yuanli. He got this nickname because his hair was sparse when he was just born. Until he was four years old, he didn't have many hairs on his head.

The white-haired man glanced at the thimble, ah no, he saw Qitian behind West, pointed at him, and said:

"The boy from the Qi family is definitely that one!"

It was only after the translator translated that West realized the joke had been made, but he was not angry and continued chatting with the two old men through the translator.

What made the old man very happy was that West was very interested in their early years.

"Big man, you don't know how hard we were back then!"

When Lao Qi recalled the time when he was poor, he also felt a sigh of relief.

"Rough noodle steamed buns are only eaten during New Years and holidays. They don't add anything, just two drops of sesame oil. Haha, it smells so good..."

"It's better now. You can make white flour steamed buns at will. My little grandson is spoiled by his parents. He is picky about food all day long. He won't eat coriander. If he eats a chicken drumstick, he has to ask him to peel it. You think it's irritating.

No?!"

West's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he just nodded.

It seems that the poverty alleviation work here has been done very well. It is really surprising that the development has been so rapid in just a few decades.

West couldn't help but praise the poverty alleviation work in this strange country.
