legendary point guard
Chapter 210 The storm before the All-Star
"This is an extremely bad statement. As an influential public program and figure, I really can't believe that they promoted such wrong values. I think CBS should apologize for this matter." The person in charge of the ESPN entertainment group said.
He publicly criticized CBS in his own newspaper.
CBS did not care about ESPN's accusations. The person in charge of CBS's TV station bluntly told the media that this was ESPN's jealousy of the popularity of CBS programs: "We have the right to pursue their inappropriate remarks."
But the reality is exactly what ESPN accused. In this era when countless people want to become famous, the final summary of this CBS program has allowed many people who want to become famous but are struggling to find a shortcut.
Although such shortcuts have long existed, this program has undoubtedly made this so-called shortcut the fastest way to become famous in the minds of countless people. In just a few days, various celebrity scandals have emerged.
What's even more exaggerated is that this incident has affected several Hollywood first-line male stars, and several waves of bed photos have been exposed, and it has become more and more serious over time.
Not only big-screen actors, but even TV drama actors and first-class singers were involved, not to mention the athletes who were messing up a lot on the sidelines. This directly caused the entire cultural and sports circle to fall into a turmoil, and there is no doubt that this turmoil has a big reason.
Part of the reason comes from this CBS program.
After Apple launched its first mobile phone on January 11, Lin Sen, as a spokesperson, also came into the eyes of some people who did not care about basketball games.
This made Lin Sen even more harassed by many women who tried to take advantage of him. Lin Sen encountered a lot of trouble whether it was training or traveling.
Stan Van Gundy publicly complained to the media that these women were affecting the team's state, but the madness of the women was obviously unstoppable.
Privately, Van Gundy even asked Lin Sen to get his real girlfriend over as soon as possible, trying to use his real girlfriend to stop those women who tried to become famous through Lin Sen.
Just when the Magic wanted to continue their winning streak and increase their winning streak to eight games, the Orlando Magic welcomed the Los Angeles Clippers at their home court, the Waterhouse Center.
Los Angeles' record this season is hovering around eighth in the Western Conference. Lin Sen played against the Clippers when he was with the Timberwolves, and relied on key steals at the last moment to help the Timberwolves defeat the Clippers.
But Lin Sen failed to help the team defeat the Los Angeles Clippers. In the first half of the game, Lin Sen was as good as ever.
Although his scoring was not as eye-catching as the first two games, Lin Sen scored 11 points and 6 assists at the end of the half, leading the Magic to an 8-point lead over the Los Angeles Clippers at home.
Although the 8-point lead was small, the Orlando fans at the scene felt that their eighth consecutive victory was not far away.
However, just as Lin Sen and Dwight Howard were heading to the tunnel to return to the locker room, two women suddenly jumped out. Lin Sen and Howard thought they were enthusiastic fans. Lin Sen, who was much shorter than Howard, was directly hit by
One of the women forcibly kissed her.
When Lin Sen reacted, the woman did not avoid being photographed by reporters and even told the camera who she was.
As for Dwight Howard, the woman took the initiative to pick up her hand and hit his chest. This unexpected situation shocked everyone.
"Is God crazy?" The commentator at the scene couldn't believe the scene in front of him.
"Oh my God, that woman actually took my hand and touched her breast," Howard yelled.
"You still want to feel how soft her breasts are, right?"
"If only..." Just as Dwight Howard was about to tell the truth, he immediately realized that the source of this voice was Stan Van Gundy.
"No, how come, I'm angry about this, it's too bad." Howard immediately showed his indignation.
But everyone could see the excitement on Howard's face, while Lin Sen looked normal.
The intermission at halftime was something no one expected, and the Magic's state in the second half was also something no one expected.
After the start of the second half, Dwight Howard, who was in excellent form in the first half, seemed particularly excited. However, his excitement did not lead to outstanding performance but constant mistakes and irons. He was even beaten consecutively by Elton Brand at the basket.
Blocked three times.
Off the court, Stan Van Gundy frowned. Howard's state made him very dissatisfied. In comparison, Linsen's state also had ups and downs, but it was much better than Howard.
But the Clippers completely found the feeling. In the middle of the fourth quarter, the Los Angeles Clippers were still 2 points behind the Magic.
At this moment, there was a sudden change on the court, because Mike Dunleavy chose a tactic that made Stan Van Gundy particularly angry-the tactic of cutting Ho.
The Clippers continued to foul Howard under the boos of the entire court, sending Howard to the free throw line and stopping time. The rhythm of the game was completely disrupted, and the game looked even more ugly.
"This game is so ugly. Is this Dwight's free throw training time?" the commentator said as he looked at Howard who kept walking to the free throw line.
Howard's poor free throw shooting made Mike Dunleavy determined to cut Howard's tactics.
In less than four minutes, Howard got to the free throw line seven times in a row.
But Howard only made 4 free throws in these 14 free throw attempts. The poor free throw shooting rate gave the Clippers opportunities again and again.
When the game came to the last two minutes of the NBA regulations that did not allow foul time on players without the team, the Los Angeles Clippers stopped the tactic of cutting Huo, but by this time the Clippers had already scored 6 points with the tactic of cutting Huo in four minutes.
Leading advantage.
The fans at the scene were looking forward to the Magic's reversal in the last two minutes, but the Magic fans were ultimately disappointed.
They didn't expect that after seven consecutive wins, they would lose to the Los Angeles Clippers, who had three consecutive losses, at their home court.
"This is our moment, this is a tactic, I don't think there is anything wrong with it." Mike Dunleavy said with a smile to reporters.
Compared to the role of the Clippers' winner, Stan Van Gundy has don't mess with me written all over his face.
"I don't know why there are so many situations like this now. I know that Wood and Dwight are very popular, especially among girls, but the current situation has obviously gone wrong and even affected our rhythm.
Although some people will say that Dwight's missed free throws tonight were the main reason for our loss, I don't think that. I think it was those people who affected us.
Just like what ESPN said, I think CBS, as a national television program, needs to take some responsibility." Stan Van Gundy walked into the post-game press conference and looked at the reporters in the audience.
"Stan, what do you think should be done to prevent this from happening?"
Van Gundy took a sip of water: "I think this is not something I should consider, because I have no way to prevent this from happening, unless we can only let male fans on site, but this is obviously unrealistic. If I want to solve this problem, I think
The fundamental thing is guidance.
It's not just by making news that they can get what they want. Success doesn't come for no reason. I think God is fair. Choosing such an impulsive method will only make them regret it later."
"Wood, what do you think of this? Is this the reason that affects your state today?"
"Wood, you were forcibly kissed during halftime tonight and someone said you enjoyed it? Can you talk about your thoughts at that time?"
"Wood, who do you think should bear the main responsibility for the team's failure today and the ending of the winning streak, you or Dwight's final free throw?"
…
"We played very well in the first half, but we struggled in the second half. It was like there was a lid on the basket, but I know you can't feel that good every night. It's not realistic.
The coach is right. I have been affected recently, especially during halftime. I don’t mind if they are friendly, but in fact they all come with a purpose. I think it is not only me but others.
Same feeling.
Here I implore every friend who has such an idea to take it back, because doing so may not necessarily get you what you want.
And I think everything has its own rules. Too many occurrences of this kind of situation are obviously against the rules. I think it is necessary to prevent such situations from happening. I don’t want to say too much about other things. I’ll go back and summarize them. I hope we can play in the next game.
Able to find myself."
This way of getting out of position is like a wave, which many people cannot adapt to and disrupts the rhythm of life of too many people.
Compared with those celebrities who were exploited to expose nude photos or other insider information, Lin Sen and Howard undoubtedly suffered much less harm.
Many people in the entire cultural and sports world and even the business world have been hurt by this way of taking action. Just before the Magic challenged the Phoenix Suns away from home, the Hollywood Screen Actors Guild, the Hollywood Directors Guild, the Hollywood Writers Guild, the American Singer Organization and the four major American sports leagues officially jointly joined CBS
The radio station issued a statement against harming others for the purpose of gaining status.
Although it does not sound legal, all parties involved in the declaration took a practical attitude.
For a time in this issue, fans, who relied on scandals and other scandals to gain fame, were banned. Only with the tough attitudes of many parties did the turmoil gradually subside.
On January 13, facing the Phoenix Suns, an opponent who had defeated him, Lin Sen showed excellent form.
In the game, Lin Sen was not entangled one-on-one by Marion like when the Timberwolves faced the Suns. Instead, he relied on teamwork to attack, and Howard also swept away the poor state of the previous game and even scored 14 at the free throw line.
Only 4 goals were conceded from free throws.
In the end, the Magic defeated the powerful Phoenix Suns on the road relying on the outstanding performance of Linson and Howard.
At this time, the results of the third round of NBA All-Star voting were also released. Yao Ming of the Houston Rockets was far ahead of all the players who participated in the election with a total of 1,629,832 votes, higher than Stoudemire, who was second on the Western Conference center list.
As many as 1 million votes.
The leader in the Eastern Conference voting is LeBron James of the Cleveland Cavaliers. At the end of the third round of voting, James' number of votes has reached 1,587,738.
Allen Iverson, the answer to switching from the East to the Denver Nuggets in the West, ranked third among Western Conference guards with 1,157,031 votes. The top two are still the Lakers' Kobe Bryant and the Rockets' McGrady, but the second-placed Tracy McGrady's lead in total votes is less than 50,000.
.
Lin Sen, who was also changed due to the trade, ranked second in the Eastern Conference in the second round. After the results of the third round were released, he still ranked second, but the number of votes was only less than 4 fewer than the first Wade, 1191403.
Thousands of sheets.
Vince Carter, the third-ranked Eastern Conference defender, is 300,000 votes behind Linson, while the gap between Arenas and Carter, the fourth Eastern Conference defender, is less than 10,000 votes.
Not surprisingly, Lin Sen will become a starter in the All-Star Game in another rookie season after Yao Ming.
Linsen's teammate Dwight Howard trailed Shaquille O'Neal, who is still recovering from injury, with 800,000 votes.
When the results of the first two rounds were released, Lin Sen's vote count was attacked by many people. After the results were released this time, the criticism of Lin Sen still existed but was obviously much smaller. Only the media in New Jersey would say sour things about Lin Sen.
A large part of the votes came from women and Chinese fans across the ocean.
"I think Wood deserves such a vote, and I wouldn't be surprised if it is higher. I think everyone should see his outstanding performance." Stan Van Gundy made no secret of his support for Linson.
Otis Smith is also making final positive moves, hoping to help Linson and Howard enter this year's All-Star stage.
Lin Sen's performance did not disappoint those who voted for him. Before the results of the fourth and final round of All-Star voting were announced on January 20, Lin Sen once again led the Magic to three consecutive victories.
On January 20, fans, players, and uniforms of each team were waiting for the announcement of the final voting results for the 2007 NBA All-Star Game.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, the NBA official website officially announced the voting results. Some people were happy and some were worried.
Yao Ming was selected into the starting lineup of the Western Conference All-Star Game for the fifth consecutive year. However, in terms of votes, Yao Ming, who had been leading the first three rounds, was surpassed by LeBron James, MVP of last year's All-Star Game.
In the end, little Emperor James became the "voter king" of the 2007 All-Star Game with 2,516,049 votes, and this number of votes also ranked second in NBA history, second only to Yao Ming's record of 2,558,278 set last year.
.
Yao Ming received 2,451,718 votes this year, ranking fourth in history.
In the attention-grabbing competition for the starting guard spot in the Western Conference, McGrady defeated the "answer" Iverson who had just transferred to the Western Conference with 1,942,796 votes, and was selected to the All-Star for the seventh time in his career.
The other three starters in the Western Conference are Lakers guard Kobe Bryant, Spurs forward Tim Duncan and Linson's former teammate, Timberwolves forward Kevin Garnett.
In the Eastern Conference lineup, Shaquille O'Neal is selected to the All-Star Game for the 14th consecutive year at the center position.
Voting leader James and Chris Bosh, who led the Raptors to an outstanding record, partnered as the Eastern Conference forward.
But the most eye-catching one is rookie Lin Sen, who has been the second-best defender in the Eastern Conference for the first three rounds.
As a rookie, Lin Sen finally received 2,129,591 votes. In the end, he not only retained his starting position as a guard in the Eastern Conference, but also left Wade, who had been in the lead in the first three rounds, behind.
Although people were mentally prepared for Lin Sen to start in the All-Star Game, Lin Sen's final vote count was second only to James in the league. The gap between Yao Ming and Kobe was only 3,000 votes, which was higher than Wade who originally led him.
Nearly 100,000 tickets were issued.
This number of votes undoubtedly shocked many people and was very satisfying. New Jersey, Washington, and Miami naturally stood up for the interests of their team's players and publicly stated that the league should impose certain restrictions on voting.
"This number of votes is a bit unexpected, but it is also a symbol of your popularity. In addition, you finally don't need to wear other people's sneakers."
Listening to David Falk's words on the other end of the phone, Lin Sen was extremely excited.
"Adidas will send your personal signature shoes to Orlando in the near future, and then they will conduct advertising shooting in Orlando. They will officially launch your first personal signature shoe during the All-Star Weekend in Las Vegas."
Ever since he started playing, Lin Sen has been extremely envious of players who have personal signature shoes. Owning personal signature shoes is undoubtedly a symbol of identity, status and ability.
"This is just the beginning. You will have second and third generations in the future. I believe your shoes will definitely sell well. In addition, the league has officially sent out an invitation. They invite you to participate in the three-point and dunk contests and skill challenges of the All-Star Game."
In addition, you need to participate in the All-Star Game and the Rookie Challenge. If you are too busy, you can choose to participate."
"so much?"
Lin Sen even suspected that there was something wrong with his ears.
"Yes, there are so many. If you participate in them all, I doubt you can bear it. What's more, I have arranged work for you during this period, so from my personal point of view, you have to make a choice."
"do you have any good advice?"
"Of course, I have already thought about it for you. I personally recommend not participating in the All-Star Rookie Game, after all, the All-Star Game will be more influential later on.
To be honest, it's great to be able to participate in other slam dunk contests. Michael participated in it back then and has gained great influence since then.
But now the dunk contest has hit a bottleneck since its peak in 2000. It is not particularly outstanding, but David Stern definitely wants you to participate in the dunk contest.
In this way, you will become the first yellow person to participate in the dunk contest in NBA history. Such a gimmick can ensure that the ratings of the dunk contest will even reach a new high.
And if you don't participate, we can also use it to stir up topics, just like LeBron James, but your topicality is no worse than him. If you don't participate this year, they will definitely invite you again. I personally recommend not to participate."
Lin Sen listened carefully to David Falk's advice. As long as there are a few players who don't dream of dunking, this is why Lin Sen will never give up dunking if he has the opportunity under normal circumstances during a game.
Lin Sen's dunk in the game really left a deep impression on many people. Whether it was the excitement of the dunk on the court or his physical fitness data, he gained a lot of praise.
But what David Falk said makes sense. He didn't prepare anything specifically. He still needs to spend more time practicing his mid-range shooting and strength.
"Okay then, refuse the slam dunk contest and the rookie challenge. The three-point contest and the skills contest should be fine, right?"
"Of course it's no problem. Although these two items are not as influential as the slam dunk contest and the main game, fortunately they don't require you to expend much physical energy."
"Okay, you can help me arrange everything."
Lin Sen hung up the phone, with the past six months echoing in his mind. Time passed too fast from the draft to now.
In the early days of entering the league, his idea was just to enjoy basketball, and he didn't even want to put in much effort, but as time went by, Lin Sen changed his original idea.
Becoming a legendary player is Lin Sen's goal.
Although the league has not officially announced who will be invited to participate in the slam dunk contest, three-point contest and skills challenge, reporters continue to find out who is participating in which competition.
When the news came out that Lin Sen would participate in three individual games during the All-Star Weekend, the entire league was shocked.
If the facts are indeed as revealed, Lin Sen's popularity will undoubtedly reach a new height.
It also shows that the alliance's praise of Lin Sen cannot convince everyone. Most people are more or less dissatisfied with the attention Lin Sen receives.
"Yes, Wood has a few good dunks, but I don't think he is qualified to participate in the dunk contest. The three-point contest is what he should participate in." As the winner of last year's dunk contest, the New York Knicks' little potato Nate
Robinson said this in an interview with reporters.
As this year's All-Star vote leader, LeBron James expressed his views in an interview with reporters: "This is not a normal scene. I think the NBA has deviated from the development track. I don't think the NBA should deliberately sell certain products in order to open up the market."
Although a person surrenders, although he has this ability, I think the eyes of the world should be able to see that his ability has not reached that level."
Although James didn't name him directly, everyone knew who he was talking about.
Not only Nate Robinson and LeBron James, but also Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade expressed their opinions on Linson's participation in the All-Star Game weekend.
"What's wrong? Wood has this ability. If he doesn't have this ability, I can't think of anyone else. The All-Star Weekend is just a show, isn't it? Someone turned this show into a game for the sake of the trophy. This is the change.
The development of the NBA." Kevin Garnett, Linsen's former teammate, directly stood up to support.
Iverson, who scored 49 points against Lin Sen, also stood up to support Lin Sen. What Lin Sen didn't expect was that Kobe Bryant also stood up to speak for him: "Wood Lin, a great guy.
, In time, he will become a super presence in this league. I have watched his games and played against him. I know his ability. Why can't he participate in so many games? I think he has this ability."
Just when the All-Star Weekend incident was making a fuss, Lin Sen went to an away game to challenge the New Jersey Nets.
The New Jersey media is looking forward to the Nets showing off the rookie at their home court, and countless eyes across the league are staring at Lin Sen. Some people are looking forward to Lin Sen's outstanding performance, and a large number of people are looking forward to Lin Sen making a fool of himself. (Not finished yet.
