The King of the NBA - Chapter 179
Since February 12, the Timberwolves have not played since the All-Star weekend is approaching.
The 2014 NBA All-Star Weekend starts on the 15th and ends on the 17th. As usual, it is divided into rookie games, individual events, and All-Star games.
For Ning Yi, he has been busy on the 14th. The 14th is the rookie challenge training day. As one of the players in the rookie challenge, Ning Yi naturally wants to participate.
This is an indoor training arena, there are many people, there are players, there are reporters.
“Ning.”
“Ning Yi.”
Each player greeted Ning Yi, almost on the Hill side. After all, Ning Yi is also on the Hill side, everyone is a teammate.
McAway, Hardaway Jr., Drummond, Salinger, Pramley, Adams, Ornik, Oladipo, this is the Hill players except Ning Yi, including Ning Yi a total of nine people.
A large part of them are first-year rookies, just like Ning Yi, so even though they are also in a competitive relationship with each other, at this time, a group of people are still relatively united. After all, Weber is strong and most of them are second-year players. , My own book strength is weaker, if you are not united, you will lose.
Everyone is a player, who wants to lose?
Not far away, all players of the Weber team also looked at Ning Yi.
This season, Ning Yi split too hard, and will naturally receive attention. It can be said that this rookie challenge, the most noticed are Ning Yi, Davis, and Lillard.
“Ning.” Drummond patted Ning Yi, whispering not far away, and whispered: “Lillard looks a little wrong in your eyes, be careful.”
“Oh, rest assured.” Ning Yi responded.
Drummond smiled.
Looking at the players on the Weber team, Ning Yi shook his head helplessly. I’m afraid not only Lillard was hostile to himself, but the others were estimated to be similar. As soon as this person became famous, there were more right and wrong.
“It’s mediocrity not to be jealous.” Ning Yi chuckled and stared at Lillard’s eyes fiercely. Come, isn’t it just the eyes to kill? Who doesn’t know how?
Lillard was suddenly stunned, made speechless by Ning Yi’s reaction, and turned his head in sorrow: “Humph…”
The so-called training day is actually similar to nba’s media open day.
After all, this is a rookie challenge, not a regular season, nor a playoff. Players and coaches are all temporary patchwork. If you want to really train according to the rules, then you are wrong. That is to familiarize the players, communicate with the coach, and deal with the reporter.
In fact, the delay time is not much, it will end soon.
The players dispersed, and Downey followed Ning Yi.
Entering the national team, and the arrival of the All-Star weekend, Ning Yi’s popularity has soared again. Downey is also very busy, dealing with various companies that invite Ning Yi to speak, some business activities, and a continuous number of media calls. Ning Yi who wanted to be able to interview did not know how many.
Donny had to discuss with Ning Yi.
“Ning.” Downey handed Ning Yi a document, “This is a company that wants to invite you to speak for you. I have selected it and you will take a look.”
Ning Yi’s result, nodded.
There are many companies that have invited Ning Yi to speak for them, but Ning Yi is not very keen on this, so Downey selects more strictly, only a small part is selected, and then Ning Yi removes a part.
In this way, there are few winners.
Ning Yi did not care about this, and Downey also figured it out. Although these are all the money that can be obtained, compared with the future, it is not worth mentioning.
With such a growth rate as Ning Yi, as long as there is no accident, his value will only increase in the future. At this time, it is not important to sign these contracts.
“Also.” Downey said again: “espn, tnt, fox, etc. are calling, hoping to interview you. In addition, some of your domestic media in China, such as penguins, etc., also want to interview you. In addition to these In addition, there are more newspapers and magazines, including “tusa” on the US side, China Sports “Pioneer News”, “Slam Dunk” magazine, “Basketball Weekly”, etc… you see, these How to reply?”
Ning Yi thought for a while, and said: “Tomorrow is the rookie challenge, I don’t want to be distracted. Please screen these interviews first, and wait until after the full weekend.”
“Good.” Downey responded.
For Ning Yi, the most important thing is tomorrow’s rookie challenge. The Weber team obviously doesn’t have a cold for him, and tomorrow’s game will definitely target him. And the same, for Ning Yi, he must be good enough in this game, he needs to prove himself, but also to fight back against Webber.
Nba is a world of weak flesh and strong food. Moving forward step by step, such as sailing against the current, not retreating, Ning Yi has no retreat. He must maintain this sharp edge and go all the way.
Once he retreated, he would be overwhelmed.
……
The next day, the All-Star weekend came.
There are three activities on this day. One is the announcement of the Hall of Fame; the second is the All-Star Masters; the third is the Rookie Challenge.
People are more concerned about the list of the Hall of Fame~www.mtlnovel.com~ and the rookie challenge. As for the celebrity game, there is not much to watch, it is almost equal to pure entertainment. . After all, participating in the celebrity tournament is almost all celebrities, there is no player.
But after all, it’s an All-Star weekend. NBA’s annual event is very loud and attracts many fans, even some popular stars, business tycoons and so on.
“Look, Yao Ming is here too.”
“What’s so strange about this? Isn’t Yao Ming coming often. And there is a rookie challenge today. The relationship between Yao Ming and Ning Yi is too normal.”
“Oh, that’s Stallone.”
“But it feels that his three daughters are more compelling than him.”
“That is, one is more beautiful than the other, if he can be the son-in-law of Stallone…”
“Are you dreaming of you, I still want to be Taylor’s boyfriend. Hey, that’s Taylor? Even she is here too, Taylor I love you…”
At this time it was only a celebrity game, but there were many people sitting in the audience, including many stars. After all, most of the participants in the celebrity game are stars, singers, actors, etc…
These people naturally include some hot artists. Each of these people is the focus of entertainment. When they appear here, they also attract the attention of many people.
Some people take pictures with their mobile phones, some people shout loudly, and the atmosphere is fiery.
“Huh, this is the All-Star Weekend.” Ning Yi sat in an inconspicuous corner and felt the atmosphere of the scene.
Of course, this atmosphere is different from that of the game. The game is tense, but now it is relaxed, making every player and every fan easy. This may be the meaning of the NBA All-Star Weekend.
