Chapter 168: The nervous Yao Ming

Stojakovic won the final victory. He came for the three-point shooting contest trophy, and he successfully defended the title as he wanted.

And this time it was not an embarrassing victory with 9 points to win the final championship, but a beautiful victory over Barry with 22 points to 19 points.

But for the fans at the scene, especially Jiang Dalin and the others, this three-point shooting contest had already ended when Michael Jordan shot 4 points!

Compared to Peja and Barry, for them, the most outstanding player in the finals is definitely Michael Jordan.

"Seriously, I can get 5 points every time I go up there!"

Jiang Dalin shook his head at Michael Jordan with a look of "How did you do that?"!

Michael Jordan had a bad cold and was confused. He didn't want to talk to these bitches anymore.

Just after the first round of voting, he didn't feel much, but when the second round started, he didn't know if some of his physical energy had been consumed by the previous round, and he felt dizzy.

Of course, this is not the biggest reason why he scored 4 points. The more important reason is that he was impatient...

After missing a single shot in the first round, his shooting rhythm changed.

These two reasons combined eventually led to another famous performance in the three-point shooting contest.

Michael Jordan wanted to explain, but Jiang Dalin stopped listening and ran to cheer for his good brother Jason Williams.

Next came the All-Star Slam Dunk Contest, and Richardson also participated in this dunk contest just like before.

Although Jiang Dalin robbed him of the Slam Dunk King trophy last year, if we really want to say it, Richardson gained greater fame on the stage of this dunk contest than if he had won the championship.

Sometimes it really matters who the opponent is.

In the end, he also won the championship of this year's All-Star Weekend Slam Dunk Contest as he wished.

Under the spotlight, he once again thanked Jiang Dalin, because two of the dunks were completed with the help of Jiang Dalin. He felt that he could not do this well with anyone else.

In this way, the story about these two Michigan State University teammates takes on a new level of sophistication.

However, what was discussed more after the dunk contest was Michael Jordan's 4 points in the three-point shooting contest finals!

This is really hard not to make people complain!

A reporter interviewed Jiang Dalin and asked him what he thought about this.

Jiang Dalin said: "I think he is very courageous. After all, not everyone has the courage to participate in the three-point contest again after having an embarrassing record."

He acknowledged Michael Jordan's courage.

"Not to mention, this time he participated in the competition even though he had a cold..."

"It's really not easy for someone who has such a successful career!"

Michael Jordan would definitely be very touched if he were here right now, because Jiang Dalin is actually saying nice things to him, and he keeps saying nice things to him.

"Of course, I say all this from the perspective of Michael Jordan. It is indeed a fact that his three-point shooting ability is terrible!"

Well, sure enough!

This guy is really full of bad ideas!

Just say how could this guy keep saying good things for Michael Jordan?

I knew it!

The reporters all showed expressions as if this was the case. They knew that Jiang Dalin would definitely not praise Michael Jordan all the time!

The turning point is here!

Because Michael Jordan's raucous night of four points in the All-Star Finals has passed.

Early the next morning, Jiang Dalin went to the arena early this time. When he arrived at the arena, many reporters had already arrived. His appearance suddenly made many reporters around him.

This made him lucky that he didn't bring Anne Hathaway with him, otherwise he wouldn't know how many ugly photos would have been taken.

No woman is perfect enough to be beautiful in 360 degrees, so she has to retouch her pictures in post-production. But these reporters will definitely not be as serious as those in the studio.

He specifically went to the Western Conference All-Star lounge to take a look around.

Today is the day of Yao Ming's All-Star debut. From the news that Jiang Dalin originally watched, Yao Ming is still very nervous today. As a compatriot, he naturally has to say hello, talk or something, maybe it can eliminate some of the tension and relieve it.

his emotions.

The most fundamental reason for being nervous is that you are too focused.

As soon as he entered the players' lounge, he heard Kevin Garnett, the Wolf King, greeting Yao Ming enthusiastically.

"Yao! How are you?"

Yao Ming responded with a reserved look: "Okay."

"Congratulations on your first All-Star selection. Are you happy?"

"Yes."

Just like being interviewed by a reporter...

Jiang Dalin was not familiar with Kevin Garnett, so he didn't say it out loud, he just complained in his heart.

However, after hearing this conversation, he became even more convinced that Yao Ming was really nervous and could hold a press conference with his teammates.

Well, it may also be because Kevin Garnett's status is a bit high. As a rookie, he will inevitably be a little nervous. Not everyone is as nervous as Jiang Dalin.

And, more importantly, when your teammate is Michael Jordan and you are hurting each other in the training hall with him every day, you don't have so much restraint towards other stars.

Men who have been in love with Zhou Huimin will feel that Li Lizhen is generally the same.

Jiang Dalin entered the locker room, which caused Kevin Garnett and Yao Ming to turn around. Kevin Garnett seemed to be in a good mood today. When he saw Jiang Dalin coming in, he teased the group of people following him.

"He's not very happy walking around with all these people. Man, put the camera away."

When he said "him," Garnett pointed to Yao Ming, who was sitting diagonally across from him, which caused laughter.

He also rushed forward and blocked the camera with his clothes playfully.

Now Yao Ming's smile turned into an emoticon and he wasn't so nervous anymore.

"Let's go, it's almost time to go to the training ground!",

Jiang Dalin chatted with Yao Ming for a while, and when he saw that the time was almost up, he took him to the basketball court. The warm-up for the All-Star Game started very early, but some time would be given to continue the warm-up before the game.

When they arrived at the training ground, many stars had already arrived.

Jiang Dalin and Yao Ming met Kobe, and Kobe greeted them warmly.

Um……

With Yao Ming.

Maybe it was because he had lost to Jiang Dalin three times in the finals, so he didn't look good towards Jiang Dalin. But, that's right, this is the "Black Mamba"!

Jiang Dalin did not regard him as an opponent.

This is something the Wizards should worry about on the outside. He is an insider and doesn't need to worry about these things.

A white-skinned little boy shouted loudly on the sidelines: "Yao! Yao Ming! I don't know how to say it in Chinese! Yao, look here, look here!"

He was holding a camera and waving his hands constantly. Next to him stood a little boy who was slightly younger than him. It looked like the two of them were brothers!

Of course, this was the first reaction of others when they saw these two little boys.

Jiang Dalin recognized these two children directly!

Isn't this just Stephen Curry and his brother when they were kids?

Wow, you are really a primary school student now!

In fact, Curry was already fourteen or fifteen years old at this time. At this age, he was about to enter his first year of high school.

But his face is too immature, he could only be eleven or twelve years old at most.

"Do you want to take a photo with Yao?"

Jiang Dalin looked at his appearance and asked him.

Seeing the two brothers nodding, they called Yao Ming over and took photos with the two famous future NBA brothers whose combined height was barely 20cm higher than his.

Because the scene was too noisy, Yao Ming didn't hear it at first.

He was dealing with other players saying hello to him, but Jiang Dalin finally ran to call him, and then he succeeded in taking a photo.

Jiang Dalin and Yao Ming each pinched Curry's face, leaving several funny pictures.

At the pre-game press conference, Yao Ming was once again surrounded by opponents. His expression seemed a little nervous, and he stared at reporters who asked questions warily.

Teammate Francis saw his little brother so nervous and said from the side: "Hey, guys, just focus on Yao's face. Why is the camera now pointed at his toes and his fingernails?

Facing his head, all the cameras are pointed at him, so don’t I have no camera?”

This caused a roar of laughter, and the whole atmosphere suddenly became much more relaxed.

Yao Ming's expression also relaxed a lot, with a faint smile, he was not so nervous, but soon he couldn't laugh anymore. After the interview here, the staff took them to the new room,

The interview continues, and then another round...

Yao Ming looked at the time, it was almost 3pm, but the interview was still going on.

After the interview was finally over, Yao Ming thought he could go back to his room, but then he went to various parties and met with fans. The entire All-Star weekend made him exhausted.

Yao Ming almost fell asleep in the elevator.

But there are still activities waiting for him.

Jordan, who happened to be at the same venue, noticed this scene and ran over to give him some advice: "You have to get used to a scene like this where millions of people are focused on. When you are in it, you just want to relax. You don't want to feel like

It’s like carrying some kind of baggage.”

"Everyone wants to interview you because you are from China, and because you are still obeying the official arrangements. You must learn to say no."

In the end, Jiang Dalin ran over directly and took Yao Ming back to the hotel. Only then did Yao Ming have time to rest, with a look of exhaustion on his face. He originally thought that the All-Star Game was just a game, but as a result, now he is worse than

Playing games is even more tiring.

In the end, he just lay there like this, closed his eyes and slept for nearly 40 minutes. When he woke up again, his overall condition was much better.

Finally, after the period of time for "rookie" Yao Ming to adapt to the All-Star Weekend, the All-Star Game on the last day of the NBA 2003 All-Star Weekend has officially arrived.

The Eagles' home court was packed to capacity, with almost 25,000 fans.

It is worth mentioning that Yao Ming's parents also came to the sidelines today.

Shaquille O'Neal, who had been robbed of his spot, had a bad look on his face when he first entered the court, but he quickly recovered and even came over to greet Yao Ming's parents with a very warm hug.

"Yao Ming's mother? Nice to meet you, Yao Ming!"

Yao Ming's mother stared blankly at the "fat shark" and nodded blankly. Everyone who saw Shaquille O'Neal with their own eyes would have this reaction.

Hmm... Just like everyone who sees Yao Ming in person, they will be stunned for a moment. It's the same truth.

Yao Ming's father, Yao Zhiyuan, smiled and said to the translator, "Come, take a picture for us."

After learning that this was Yao Ming's father, Shaquille O'Neal suddenly realized: "Now I know why Yao is so tall."

The translator told Yao's father, and Yao's father smiled. He was indeed quite tall, just like Jiang Dalin, 2.08 meters tall. He also played for the Sharks when he was young.

After saying hello, Yao Ming got busy again.

Many people came to take photos with him. For example, Christina Aguilera, the female singer who is as famous as Britney Spears, ran over. Shaquille O'Neal also came to take a shot.

Around these two people, Aguilera feels somewhat like a "dwarf"...

In addition, many celebrities came to take photos with Yao Ming. Again, when anyone sees Yao Ming who is 2.26 meters tall, his first reaction is to take a photo!

These group photos made Yao Ming relaxed for a while, but when he returned to the court, he began to become nervous again. During the pre-game warm-up, Kobe took the initiative to contact Yao, rubbed his shoulders and said: "Relax, relax, relax!

"

Yao Ming didn't seem to understand: "What?"

Kobe shook his shoulders and said: "Relax, relax." Seeing that Yao Ming still didn't understand, he waved his hand to Yao Ming.

Now Yao Ming understood and showed a shy smile, and Kobe also laughed.

Jiang Dalin was also very busy before the game, looking for him to take photos. Later, Anne Hathaway simply pulled him next to him and sat down. Whoever wanted to take a photo would be scanned up and down first.

Jiang Dalin looked at her and couldn't help but smile: "Is this a security check?"

Then he officially came on the court to warm up, and it was at this time that he ran over to say hello to Yao Ming.

Finally, the game officially started.

As the boss, Michael Jordan received cheers from the audience as soon as he came on the court. Before he came on the court today, he was also the last one to come on the court. As the "God of Basketball" during the last All-Star Weekend, he became the final "ticket"

king".

Jiang Dalin couldn't help but sigh again: Michael Jordan is so lucky to have me!

This is really not a "grandma selling melons", but think about the original Michael Jordan who had to rely on Carter to give up his position before he could enter the starting lineup. Look at the current Michael Jordan. Not only did he enter the starting lineup, he was also the final "voting king"

!

It's really a world of difference.

If the original Michael Jordan interpreted what it meant to be a "hero in his twilight years", then the current Michael Jordan has proven what "God is God" means!

Unless he insists on embarrassing himself again at the age of 45, his entire career can only be described as perfect.

During the jump ball session, Yao Ming was so nervous that he wanted Duncan to jump the ball. Kobe shouted to him: "Go jump the ball quickly, Yao, stand over, man, you are almost 7 feet tall! Who will jump if you don't jump?"
