Chapter 211: A Popularity That Even the Emperor Fears

Does the slam dunk contest championship matter?

It can be said to be very important, or it can be said to be unimportant.

However, the significance of this Dallas All-Star Slam Dunk Contest is different.

Lin Yi became the first person of yellow race to win the slam dunk contest.

His four dunks completely detonated the scene in Dallas. Many years later, this slam dunk contest will be mentioned by people, because Lin Yi has become an insurmountable monument in the history of the dunk contest.

After typing the last few paragraphs of text on the keyboard, Wu Xiaolei rubbed the center of her brows. The editorial department was already crazy about waiting for the manuscript. 10 years is the last golden period for all paper media. "Sports Weekly" Temporarily decided to print an additional issue, specifically reporting on Lin Yi winning the slam dunk contest.

Wu Xiaolei, who hasn't returned to China for a long time, doesn't know what's going on in the country, but Lin Yi's popularity in the United States is growing crazily at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Many people in the outside world say that Lin Yi has a professional team behind him to advise him, but Wu Xiaolei scoffs at such claims, because she has known Lin Yi for a long time, "His success is not based on hype and accidents. , but necessarily."

In the NCAA, Lin Yi aroused people's curiosity with his unique style of play.

When he first entered the NBA, the Knicks fans were crazy and screaming for him. Then, he quickly gathered his own fans with a series of incredible performances.

After this slam dunk contest, Lin Yi's popularity should have reached its peak.

Looking back on the interview work in the United States for more than a year, Wu Xiaolei is very fortunate that she has become the chief reporter of "Experience Weekly" by writing Lin Yi's news. It can be said that she grew up with Lin Yi.

Popularity is not the same as strength, but without popularity, you can't move an inch.

"It's crazy." After writing the manuscript, Wu Xiaolei was also browsing the news on the American sports website.

Almost all topics are related to Lin Yi.

It is said that FedEx in the United States took a fancy to Lin Yi's idea of ​​delivering sneakers by express, and hoped to find him as an endorsement.

Nike's official website has been crowded, and many fans are asking about the specific release time and pricing of Lin Yi's "Reaper Series" sneakers.

Lin Yi's LOGO has received unanimous praise. The unique Xiaozhuan style and the style full of martial arts elements are really unique.

The highlights of Lin Yi's dunk contest have been blown up on YouTube. NBA President David Stern even found that he still has a lot of promotional methods that are useless. Lin Yi has already made basketball the craziest topic in the United States. .

The Dallas All-Star Game was an unprecedented success.

Many Lin Hei people think that the fans praise Lin Yi too highly, and as expected, the black fans are the true love. They rationally analyze that Lin Yi's current statistics and achievements cannot be called a real super giant. To the height that people expect, once it falls from the altar, it will be fun.

Stern also knows the truth that extremes lead to opposites, so he held down the backhands of those propaganda, as it is now, it's good.

...

It was a crazy night in Dallas.

Lin Yi was also tortured a lot after the game. Curry and Harden were arguing that Lin Yi must hold a celebration banquet. There was no way, Dallas is not Cleveland, so Lin Yi had to bring the four strong players together go hi.

Athletes also occasionally need some entertainment to adjust their lives. What Lin Yi remembers most is the allusion of "The Three Heroes Fighting the Vietnamese Female Thieves at Night".

Hey back, Lin Yi and Curry returned to the hotel ahead of time. The elementary school students will get married next year, so they dare not make mistakes. Lin Yi will participate in the All-Star Game tomorrow. He intends to kill the enemy, but he is powerless.

After returning to the hotel, Lin Yi curiously asked what the system's "charm value" was.

"The charm value can improve the charm of the host itself, especially the attraction to the opposite sex."

That's the way it is, no wonder Lin Yi said that "Sister Widow" and "Da Yuemei" wanted to eat him in one bite today, this system is very conscientious this time,

Knowing that I've been single all along is commendable.

"The system, do you think I'm handsome?" Lin Yi asked curiously.

"Sorry, this system doesn't know what the host is asking."

In fact, Lin Yi already knew that such an answer would be given. This system is just a deadly program.

"Oh! You mean, I'm already handsome beyond the sky? Even you can't define it? Sure enough, I'm troubled by being woken up by myself every day!"

"..."

"Sleep, sleep! A handsome man must go to bed early."

...

February 14, Valentine's Day.

Cowboys Stadium, home of the NFL's Dallas Cowboys.

When the roof of the stadium was opened, two helicopters with camera crews ready to take off took off for aerial photography.

The moment the Cowboys Stadium, which is known as the world's largest screen TV, was turned on, nearly 100,000 fans finally waited for the main meal of the All-Star game: the All-Star confrontation between the East and the West!

The giant scoreboard hanging over Cowboys Stadium is currently the largest high-definition television scoreboard in the world.

This scoreboard consists of two 1080p LED displays with a length of more than 50 meters, a span of about 54 meters, and a weight of 600 tons. It consumes as much electricity as an American uses for four months in one game.

"This game will make NBA history!" Mavericks owner Cuban said confidently. This time Cuban really didn't brag, because this is the first time that there are so many live audiences in the All-Star Game.

At the Super Bowl a week ago, the atmosphere made Stern drool.

But the All-Star Weekend a week later, in Dallas, was equally lively.

Of course, it is impossible for the NBA to challenge the Super Bowl, but there is something envious of the NBA in the Super Bowl.

You know, in yesterday's slam dunk contest, the NBA refreshed the overseas ratings of the four major American sports leagues!

Seeing the basketball empire he built with his own hands, Stern was very pleased.

Stern decided to take good care of his body. He felt that at the end of his career as president, he would witness a magnificent legend with his own eyes.

For Chinese fans, they have never looked forward to the All-Star Game so much.

Dayao's style has always been difficult to integrate into the All-Star Game.

But Lin Yi is different.

On the main stage of the Cowboy Stadium, with Usher singing on the stage, the fans at the scene also cheered up.

The cheerleaders of the Mavericks interacted with the fans. At the end of Usher's singing——

In the 2010 Dallas All-Star Game, the East All-Star substitutes began to walk out of the tunnel one by one.

It's time to test the live DJ's lung capacity!

"He's from Boston, Massachusetts, and the sky's the limit for him!"

"Rajon—Rondo!"

"He's the Windy City Rose, and he's the rising star in Chicago!"

"Derek-Ross!"

"He is the Superman of Orlando, an omnipotent monster!"

"Dwight—Howard!"

...

During DJ's introduction, the seven Eastern Conference All-Star substitutes had already stood in line. The one who was more embarrassed was student David Li. DJ really couldn't think of any vocabulary, so he fooled a double-double expert on him.

Rondo, Rose, Pierce, Howard, Bosh, Gerald Wallace, David Lee.

The fans at the scene applauded and welcomed. Of course, to really detonate the atmosphere of the scene, of course, the five starters of the Eastern Conference All-Stars had to make their debut.

Unlike the substitutes coming out of the tunnel, the five starters will appear directly in the center of the stage in the elevator.

"Let's welcome The Flash from Miami!"

"Dwayne—Wade!"

Seeing Wade enjoy the cheers of the fans, Ross and Rondo are envious of the two young men. This is the legendary boss. The appearance is completely different, okay?

The second All-Star starter in the Eastern Conference was Joe Johnson. The Eagles replaced Iverson as the All-Star starter in the Eastern Conference. Joe Johnson's popularity cannot be compared with that of Wade, but he still received a lot of applause and cheers.

The third person to appear on the stage is the iron-blooded and brutal Garnett. When the bloody Garnett appeared on the stage, he didn't forget to pat his chest. He was really domineering!

Both Bosh and David Lee's eyes looked straight, what should I do, I really want to beat up this "basketball hooligan"?

It's too pretentious. Since going to the Celtics, Garnett's pretentious index has caught up with Larry Bird.

In the adoring eyes of the substitutes.

The fourth Eastern Conference All-Star starter debuted.

"He's the new slam dunk champion, he's Death from the East, he's the King of New York!"

"Lin Yi!!"

Surrounded by a burst of artificial smoke, Lin Yi, who hadn't woken up yet, felt his ears suddenly explode.

Because, under the leadership of a girl fan at the scene, the Cowboys Stadium rebelled instantly!

"MVP—————!"

"MVP—————!"

"MVP—————!"

Rondo: "..."

Ross: "..."

Wade: "..."

Howard: "..."

...

James, who was fifth on the stage, realized something was wrong as soon as he came on stage. Why are everyone shouting MVP at the scene? Is my popularity already so high?

James began to smile and waved to the fans. It’s not good for the fans of the Mavericks to be so enthusiastic. Even if my contract expires, I can’t come to Dallas... Eh? No, wait a minute, James had to find out quickly, because he found out that Lin Yi's name was mixed in the voices of these fans.

James: "..."

Cuban, the owner of the Mavericks, never dreamed that the fans at home would mutiny!

Heck, this is the home of the Mavericks, cheers, and you guys cheer when Kidd and Nowitzki come on, okay?

It is said that this year is the home of the Western All-Star team, but how do you feel...

Cuban felt like he had the phrase MMP stuck in his throat.

On the sidelines, Scarlett Johansson also came today. Perhaps the mood of "Sister Widow" at this time can best represent the female fans at home, because Lin Yi's sleepy-eyed appearance is so handsome!

...

The reason for the Mavericks' mutiny at home is too simple. The impression Lin Yi left on people yesterday was too deep.

It is not an exaggeration to say that Lin Yi is now a "traffic star" in the NBA.

Because of this wave of "coquettish manipulation" by the fans at the scene, the well-designed dance before the Eastern Conference All-Star Game was forgotten.

Looking at the big man standing beside him, James secretly swore that he would never be on the same team as Lin Yi.

James doesn't want to be Pippen.

"Man, your popularity is too high." James looked at Lin Yi with a smile on his face, admiring him. From this moment on, James has regarded Lin Yi as the number one enemy in the future.

This kid hasn't grown up yet, the fans are all towards him, so what if he grows up?
