Las Vegas is a strange attraction. People who come to the United States for the first time may not know big cities like Boston and Philadelphia except Los Angeles and New York, but they definitely know and yearn for Las Vegas.

In addition to the title of the world's number one casino, the all-pervasive American culture has already rendered this place into a bizarre, colorful, and sleepless city.

Several unimaginably huge casinos decorate the facade of Las Vegas, sightseeing helicopters are always cruising in the sky, and huge light boxes that never go out make the main street lined with casinos full of temptation.

When Keyan and his party arrived in Las Vegas, it was already evening. They put away their bags at the hotel and took a short rest. The night world of lights and feasting had just begun.

The neon lights in the entire city are all on, and the neon lights are ever-changing and colorful.

When you are indoors, you may not feel anything special. At most, you may feel that the lights are bright, making the gorgeous decorations even more splendid.

But when I went out to the street and saw the scene around me, I found that the tall buildings were all emitting colorful lights. The night seemed to have turned into day, and the rainbow lights were like countless stars in the sky. After a while,

Red, sometimes green, sometimes half purple and half yellow, like a rainbow or a flower, the shapes are endlessly changing, ups and downs, making people dazzled and lost in this bustling night.

Activities similar to garden parties are held once or twice a week in Los Angeles, but in Las Vegas there are various activities every day. After seeing all kinds of shows and casino buildings in various styles, Wang Lifan and Ke Yan agreed.

It reminds me that the first time the two met was in this kind of environment.

Fast forward more than two years, and the relationship between the two people has also made rapid progress. The only thing that remains unchanged is that no matter then or now, there is a big light bulb around them!

After seeing the magic of the casino, Huo Qingshu was so excited that he completely forgot that he was still sad about "leaving home to celebrate the Spring Festival" on the plane.

But after playing for a while, Huo Qingshu felt a little worried about money. You really have to be careful with your wallet here. Slot machines everywhere are waiting to swallow your green tickets. You know, this is just foreplay, and you haven’t entered the casino yet!

Finally, the three of them walked to the famous musical fountain and stopped to watch the bohemian performance.

This is the largest musical fountain in the world. The beautiful scenery and wonderful performances made the three people who were late all night stop and watch for a long time.

The three of them stood under the vent, with water mist spraying on them from time to time. Huo Qingshu shivered and felt a little cold. Seeing this, Ke Yan took off his coat and asked Wang Lifan to put it on for her.

After putting on his coat, Huo Qingshu was a little embarrassed, glanced at Key Yan, and said with a smile: "Thanks, Key Yan, I'm really happy today!"

Ke Yan smiled and said, "Are you all tired?"

"A bit. Do we want to go back?" Wang Lifan looked at Huo Qingshu and replied after confirming his eyes.

"Um."

.

.

.

After Valentine's Day, starting from February 15th, Ke Yan's time is no longer entirely his own. Various photo-taking activities and interview activities are arranged very tightly. The league holds All-Star Weekend, mainly to expand its influence and promote the NBA.

, it’s not really for the stars to enjoy their holidays!

As the most popular and talked-about coach in the league, and in time for the traditional Chinese New Year, Ke Yan is as busy as those All-Star players.

Ke Yan accepted an exclusive interview with a Chinese reporter, firstly to promote the NBA All-Star Game, and secondly to wish the people of the country New Year!

"This is my first opportunity to participate in the All-Star Game. This kind of game is very special. I don't need to arrange complicated tactics. I only need to enjoy a visual feast at close range. This should be rare in my coaching career.

Experience the opportunity." Keyan said.

"Do you care about the outcome of the game?" the reporter asked.

"I've been winning recently and I've been very lucky. If you want to conserve your character and lose one game, let's lose this one, haha~" Ke Yan joked.

"This is not like what your scientist said." The reporter said seriously.

"???" Ke Yan put on a surprised expression and pointed at the other party, "You.

.

.

Are you teaching me how to do something?"

On the night of the 15th, it was the "Celebrity Game" performance organized by the NBA in order to expand its influence. Except for some retired NBA players, Ke Yan did not know other "celebrities". He did not have the spirit of entertainment in this area and could not stand this kind of performance.

"Rookies peck each other", Ke Yan did not watch the battle live, but took Wang Lifan and Huo Qingshu to the Caesars Casino to throw coins.

"Sir, what service would you like?" After entering the casino, the waiter came up and asked.

"Exchange chips, thank you." Ke Yan signed a check for US$100,000 and said.

"Please wait."

Wang Lifan clicked his tongue when he saw it: "We are just having fun, why did you exchange so much?"

Ke Yan smiled, held her little face and kissed her, saying, "You don't necessarily lose."

Huo Qingshu also tried to persuade him: "Everyone thinks this way before entering the casino, so they fall into it."

"Okay, so you have to supervise me~" Ke Yan took the chips handed over by the waiter and gave a dozen to Huo Qingshu. However, Huo Qingshu looked nervous and refused to accept them, so he only took two small chips.

"We're not going to the VIP room, we're just going to play the slot machines in the lobby." Ke Yan once again showed his kindness to Wang Lifan.

Wang Lifan sighed and emphasized: "It's just this once, it won't be the same next time!"

Speaking of which, Ke Yan can be regarded as a "young man". He has the ability to be a coach and is famous far and wide. He has a vision in investing and has made hundreds of millions of wealth at a young age! But no matter how rich he is, he is vulnerable to gambling. Wang Lifan feels that he

It is necessary to bring Keyan back from the wrong path.

"Just this once, I will never come to Las Vegas again~"

"That's pretty much it."

Ke Yan played slot machines, blackjack, and Texas Hold'em very relaxedly. He didn't care about cards or anything. If he lost, he lost.

In his own words, it was already very nerve-wracking to lead the team in games, fight Popovich, D'Antoni, Sanders, and Avery Johnson. So when he came to the casino, he really

I don’t want to spend all my time counting cards, I just want to just try my luck and have fun.

"Hi, boss~, never!" Ke Yan used the method of "throwing coins" to relieve stress. Unexpectedly, he also saw an acquaintance in the casino. Daniel Gibson also came to the casino, accompanied by a plump woman.

At this moment, he was looking at Keyan with great interest.

"Daniel, are you coming to relax too?" Ke Yan raised his head and looked at Gibson, what a good guy, he has gained many more chips than himself!

How could he, a second-round pick, get so much money?

"Don't worry, I won't stay here until after two o'clock~" Daniel Gibson said cheerfully.

This is also the rule set by Ke Yan in the Eagles. You are not allowed to play after two o'clock at night, otherwise you will not be able to play the next day!

"Um."

"This is Khloe, a member of the Kardashian family." Gibson said in a showy tone to Ke Yan.

"!

!" Hearing these three thundering words, Ke Yan's heart sank.

It’s over! Gibson is dead!

"Hello, Mr. Earl." Kohler looked at Keyan with a smile and took the initiative to extend his hand.

"Hello." Ke Yan didn't even look up, looking like a gambler focused on the game, and extended his fist to fist bump with Kohler.

The word "Kardashian" is so lethal that Ke Yan can't help but be afraid of it.

Wang Lifan next to him pursed his lips, very satisfied with Key Yan's actions.

I have a strong sense of boundaries and a strong desire to survive!

On the way back to the hotel, Ke Yan called Han Bron, who was in charge of training on the team, and would focus on Gibson's training. If there was any lack of seriousness in training or weakness in his legs, report him immediately.

Others don't know the situation, but Ke Yan knows that the women from the Kardashian family are Dpoy-level celebrities in the NBA.

Players hooked up by their family will most likely decline, so much so that netizens rated them as "13 miles poisonous".

From a scientific point of view, their 13-year-olds should not be poisonous. But their extremely unhealthy lifestyle is very harmful to professional players! If you are close to the women of the Kardashian family, you have to spend time on eating, drinking, having fun, dressing up, etc.

Participate in various banquets, so that you have less time to invest in basketball; the parties last until late at night, and you can have sex again. For these beasts with abnormal physical fitness, indulgence

It’s nothing, but playing and singing every night is very harmful to the body. Can you not go down after going back and forth?

Gibson followed the rules set by Keyan and left Caesars Casino before two o'clock, but he didn't know that he was already on Keyan's watch list!

.

.

On the night of February 16th, the rookie game started first. As usual, the second-year team won easily.

Since the All-Star Weekend, the first-year team has never defeated the second-year team. Although Paul, who had to participate in the skills challenge and the All-Star Game, missed the rookie game, Deron Williams and David Lee still

Led the second-year team to steadily suppress the first-year team. In the whole game, David Lee scored 26 points and 9 rebounds, and was awarded the rookie game mvp.

A fly with short legs is also fat! For a player of David Lee's level, it is not easy to win some personal honors! Ke Yan, who was watching the game from the sidelines, also encouraged David Lee after the game.

After coming to Minnesota, I could better understand the gap between Casey's coaching staff and Ke Yan, and knowing how much Ke Yan helped him, David Lee felt less resentful and more respectful towards Ke Yan.

Gibson, who had been high most of the night, played for the first-grade team and played 22 minutes. He made 4 of 7 shots and 2 of 4 three-pointers, scoring 10 points. His performance was quite satisfactory and his efficiency was pretty good, but after all, the level of competition in the game was limited.

, does not have a high reference value.

On Saturday, in the mixed shooting competition, the trio of Suns Marion, Tauris, and Dan Mariel completed the game in a total of 31 seconds, won the championship, and took home a prize of $30,000.

The second event, the Skills Challenge, may be a single event with the highest quality of superstars in history. Four future "75 members" Kobe, James, Paul, and Wade participated in the competition.

In terms of player types, besides Paul, the other three are actually more suitable to participate in the dunk contest. Because of this, as the only pure point guard among the four, Paul should have been the favorite to win, but maybe

In the past few days, the other two banana boat brothers have lost their hand in carrying bags. Paul was so popular that he sent a time of 36.9 seconds, ranking last, and was eliminated directly!

Kobe Bryant participated in the skills challenge for the first time and overestimated himself. His time of 35.8 seconds was also a bit miserable. He watched James and Wade advance to the finals. The finals became a civil war between James and Wade, the banana boat brothers!

James vs. Wade, both are representatives of the 2003 golden generation, and they are also good brothers in private. They are also talented, one is unparalleled in strength, the ability to continuously accelerate is the first in the league, and the impact of running is like a car

A speeding truck; an alliance that is as fast as lightning and can dodge with one hand, and can take the general's head from the rebel army! The duel between these two people will definitely be exciting.

.

.

Bar?

Wade, who was the first to appear, showed off his underrated ball sense. He made easy shots and passes, finishing the game in just 27.8 seconds.

James, who appeared next, may have been affected by Wade's performance, and his performance was abnormal. He made three consecutive mistakes on the second pass, losing the chance to win the championship early, and watched his good brother Wade reach the top.

It's a pity that there is no scoring in the skills challenge, otherwise Ke Yan would give him a score of 9 every minute.

In addition to the "Skills Challenge", this year's three-point shooting contest is also star-studded. Nowitzki, Arenas, and Joe Johnson, three All-Stars in the main game, are participating in the competition for the three-point king.

Joe Johnson, who represented the Hawks, scored 20 points in the preliminaries and entered the finals together with Nowitzki and Arenas; however, in the finals, Joe Johnson was unlucky and had 5 shots worth "2".

"Points" only hit one colored ball. Although they hit 16 basketballs in total, their performance was not bad, but they only scored 17 points, basically missing out on the possibility of the championship.

Also hitting 16 of 25 goals, Nowitzki hit all five of them and scored 21 points, beating Joe Johnson and Arenas to win the three-point title.

The last event today is the dunk contest with the highest review rate. In addition to the previous dunk champion Nate Robinson, this dunk contest also includes Howard Howard, the nine-fingered beggar Gerald Green, and Jr. Smith.

It’s considered a very high-level class.

The game started, and Jr. Smith came on first.

Jr. is a very talented player. His physical fitness is not inferior to Kobe. He is also 198cm tall and is even more accurate than Kobe in three-pointers. His highest career achievement is only the Sixth Man of the Year award. He is nicknamed "The Psycho Knife". Fans love him

His highest praise is also very objective, "Jr is not crazy, he is an All-Star every year!"

And he himself is also a practical dunker. In actual combat, he often shocks everyone with his flashes of tricks, but performing on the stage of the dunk contest is not what he is good at. He dunks the ball with his hands behind his back. This action is not considered now.

Fresh, the tastes of the judges have been spoiled by Carter and Josh Smith, who gave it 9 points and 8 points respectively, with a total score of 43 points. Even the audience's reaction was relatively average.

The action chosen by Howard, who came on the second stage, was very simple, an ordinary dunk that left the fans at the scene confused for a moment.

That’s it? That’s it!

It wasn't until the on-site director focused the camera on the top of the backboard that the fans at the scene saw the mystery of Howard's actions. He put a photo of himself on top of the backboard!

Putting aside the difficulty, this creativity is a bonus! Moreover, Howard's cheerful appearance made him favorable. Two of the five judges scored 10 points, one scored 9 points, and two scored 8 points. In total,

The score is 45 points, which shows that the judges are quite satisfied with this dunk!

Gerald Green, the third player to appear, is regarded as a popular candidate to challenge Nate Robinson. His first action was a difficult baseline crotch change and a backhand dunk! This action is very elegant, powerful, and

Others' first dunks were much more exciting, and the judges unanimously gave them full marks.

Nate Robinson, who played in the finale, also had reservations. He started from the baseline, dropped his hands, turned over and dunked, and succeeded once. The power of the ball and the height of the ball were good, but there was nothing new. He also only scored 45 points.

After the first round, Gerald Green gave himself a 5-point lead and is on track to advance!

Jr. played first in the second round. This time he asked the Nuggets mascot "Rocky Lion" to cooperate. The latter bounced the ball off the ground. Smith succeeded in an alley-oop half-turn dunk, scoring only 45 points.

It's difficult, not creative, and the visual effects are average. Jr. is still suitable for showing his dunking talent in actual combat.

Warcraft Howard appeared on the stage, holding two basketballs in his hands, and challenged the achievement of two slam dunks in one takeoff. The fans were ignited by this idea, and the judges in the venue also stood up to watch Howard's performance.

Under heavy pressure, Howard's first attempt was 90% successful. After the first ball was dunked firmly into the basket, the second ball was a little unsustainable. He basically sent the ball in with half dunk and half toss.

Basket. However, the audience was very satisfied with Howard's creativity in this goal and the audience cheered.

The fans applauded thunderously, and the judges followed the public opinion and gave a perfect score of 50 points. As a result, Howard scored 95 points and had a guaranteed chance of entering the finals!

Gerald Green made his third appearance. He cut in from the left wing, jumped from the penalty area line, and dunked hard with his left hand. He scored 46 points, with a total score of 96 points, and was the first to secure a spot in the finals.

The take-off height is amazing, the movements are stretched, and the completion score is perfect. From Ke Yan's point of view, Gerald Green is the most powerful dunk champion after Carter. He only won one dunk champion in his peak period. This is purely because the league pays more attention to gimmicks than strength.

Robinson took advantage of the "dwarf", Howard put on a Superman suit and pulled off all the gimmicks. When it came to Griffin's Speedy Race, there was no need to compete. Everyone just showed up and gave Griffin the award.

.

In the first round, Nate Robinson was a little overconfident and put himself into a passive position. In the second round, his movements were mindless and more difficult. He started to run towards the basket from the baseline, changed hands at the hips, and dunked with both hands. The movement was difficult to say, but he used

It took him four times to complete this move. No matter how much the audience supported him, the judges only gave him 45 points.

The preliminaries are over, Howard and Gerald Green advance to the finals!

In the finals, Howard was the first to appear.

He dribbled the ball from the baseline, rushed to the basket, and completed a reverse dunk.

This shot was extremely difficult, but the visual effect was "average". Three judges gave it 9 points, and the final score was 47 points.

It was Gerald Green's turn to perform. He broke into the basket from the right wing, turned around in reverse and dunked 360 degrees with his left hand, similar to Carter's classic move, and scored 50 points.

For the last dunk, Howard called on his good brother Josh Smith for help. The latter threw the ball toward the backboard. Howard completed an alley-oop and completed a windmill and smashed the ball into the basket.

The difficulty of this shot is average. The focus is not on dunking, but on the fact that the partner is Josh Smith, who is known as the "third generation dunk king". The "emotional points" are full. Just like whoever participates in the dunk contest, you can invite Carter or

If Jordan helps out, he will gain 10 points out of thin air. This is no joke.

Howard played the "feelings" card, while Gerald Green made full use of the elements of the casino city of "Las Vegas". He asked someone to move a gaming table and completed a large windmill that jumped over the gaming table.

Dunking means "flying over Las Vegas" and pays tribute to this casino city!

Compared with Howard's "brutality", Gerald Green's tribute was obviously more advanced. This kind of creativity closely connected with the venue was unanimously recognized by the audience, and finally scored the second 50 points. With 3 "50"

"Points" outstanding performance won the dunk king!

The NBA has always hoped to add an NBA team to the casino. This year's All-Star Game will be held in the casino. In a sense, it is also shouldering the important task of opening up territory for the NBA. Therefore, this year's individual games,

It can be regarded as the most exciting tournament in history. Many big-name players are willing to participate, making the game exciting and interesting.

On the morning of the 18th, the Eastern Conference All-Star team trained. Looking at James, Howard, and Wade standing in a row in front of him, Ke Yan felt a small sense of accomplishment.

I have never fought such a rich battle in my eight lives!

There is no secondary attack, just the main fucking attack!

fire!

There is no way to design any complicated tactics in just one training session. Ke Yan focused on the online flanking defense system with Garnett and Howard as the core, and stated that he would use this tactic at a certain period of the game.

Caught the Western Conference All-Stars off guard.

In the Hawks, it was Joe Johnson, Battier, and Stevens who implemented this defensive tactic; but when they came to the Eastern Stars, it became James, Wade, and Carter.

.

.

The pressure suddenly increased by more than two levels!

In fact, for these talented "beasts", this tactic is actually practical!

In the 2008 Beijing Olympics, Coach K used this tactic to crush all the opponents before the finals. Only the Spanish team could be considered dead standing. Compared with the previous dream of being suffocated by European teams.

Team Six and Team Seven, this set of tactics of attacking on the line and quickly counterattacking, circumvented the weaknesses of the American team inside and gave full play to the physical quality and athletic ability of NBA players compared to international players.

Tactically marginalized, O'Neal started to act weird during free training. He pulled James Howard and took turns dancing, making the audience and reporters laugh. Even Ke Yan, who was on the court, saw this funny scene and the corners of his mouth showed up.

smile.
