Super all-around point guard

Chapter 454 Slam Dunk Contest!

Xie Chen is going to carry out the "Little Freshness" to the end this time. LeBron James has invited hip-hop king JAY-Z, and Xie Chen is planning to invite pop queen Taylor Swift.

Taylor Swift is a female singer-songwriter of American country music pop music. It can be said that she is one of the most popular female singers in the world. However, she not only has achievements in Grammy, but also has boyfriends one after another.

Xie Chen himself also likes Taylor Swift's songs, such as "love story" and "you belong to me", Xie Chen can also sing.

Because this year's NBA All-Stars are so attractive, big names like Taylor Swift have also come to Toronto.

But what Xie Chen was worried about was: "Taylor Swift? Will she be willing to help me?"

Wang Zhihui said: "I remember that when you tweeted 'bragging', Taylor forwarded your tweet, and then took the initiative to solicit votes for you. From this, it can be seen that she should be your fan. If you ask yourself, I believe she has no reason to refuse."

Xie Chen is not a person who likes to trouble others, but James has already called in JAY-Z first. If he doesn't call a well-known and important star in the United States, he will lose too much. Xie Chen is the All-Star vote champion, and he also wants to win the slam dunk contest. He doesn't want to lose his aura.

Wang Zhihui quickly asked for Taylor's contact information through his relationship. Xie Chen talked to her personally. After the invitation, Taylor seemed very excited and accepted it readily. Since the two were not far away, Xie Chen invited her to discuss the details in detail.

However, before Taylor came, it was Chen Yihan and Zhang Junning from Baodao who met Xie Chen first.

It was not the first time Xie Chen and Chen Yihan greeted each other happily after meeting. Chen Yihan smiled innocently and introduced to Xie Chen: "This is my good sister, Zhang Junning."

Zhang Junning is also an actor. She is taller than Ivy Chen, has an outstanding temperament, and looks very quiet. She does have the temperament of a goddess. No wonder Xie Chen's manager regards her as a goddess.

Xie Chen knew that Zhang Junning was Wang Zhihui's goddess, and specially introduced him to the two beauties. The two were chatting when the door rang again. This time it was Taylor Swift who came in.

As soon as Taylor Swift saw Xie Chen, she ran over excitedly, and really surprised the two beauties beside her: "You also invited Taylor Swift? She is our idol!"

Fortunately, Chen Yihan and Zhang Junning's English is also good, there are not many obstacles in the communication between them, and it is just an appearance, no rehearsal is needed, just a general communication is enough.

The next day is the real start of the All-Star Weekend. On this day, at the Air Canada Center Stadium, there will be four competitions, namely Shooting Star, Skills Challenge, Three-Point Contest and Slam Dunk Contest.

Last year, in the All-Star Game in New York, the three-point contest rarely overwhelmed the finale dunk contest. That was because the players in the three-point contest last year were too strong. There were Xie Chen, Curry, Irving, and Harden.
The home court of the Toronto Raptors is already crowded with people from all over the world. This year's All-Star is also the most popular one over the years.

First of all, this year is Kobe's last All-Star trip, and then there is the slam dunk contest between Xie Chen and James. These two alone are enough for fans to follow.

Because the slam dunk contest is the finale, so before the slam dunk contest, Xie Chen and James also wandered around the sidelines in long-sleeved sportswear, enjoying other programs. Many stars came to the scene, including those from the sports and entertainment circles, such as Ronaldo, Leonardo, Chinese artist Shawn Yue, Korean girl groups and boy groups.

Of course, Michael Jordan came too.

James and Xie Chen came to Jordan and Carter in suits very early. They are both judges of the slam dunk contest. How could they not say hello in advance?
Jordan joked to Xie Chen: "Last year in the All-Star Game, I gave you 10 points for your first dunk, but don't think that I will give you 10 points casually today. My standards are very high."

Carter quickly followed up and said, "I'm the same as Michael. Although the historical lows of both of you in the NBA may be similar to Michael's in the future, in the slam dunk contest, I will only watch dunks."

The two judges are villains first and then gentlemen, and they put down harsh words first, which also put pressure on Xie Chen and James. It seems that it is really not easy for them to come up with a 10-point brand.

The four of them were talking, when suddenly, Kobe in a handsome leather jacket came forward: "Hey, what are you talking about? LeBron, thank you, are you two trying to please the judges? This is a bit difficult, but if I were the judges, I might give you more points for the sake of our friendship. There is no way, the old guy Xiao Hua disagrees."

Several people laughed out loud after hearing this. In fact, after the NBA officially announced that Jordan and Carter would be the judges of this All-Star Slam Dunk Contest, Kobe immediately called Adam Silver and said that he also wanted to be a judge of this year's All-Star Slam Dunk Contest.

When Kobe and Jordan met again, they could read too much from each other's eyes. As long as the two stood together, the people around them could feel a strong murderous aura, but now they are heroes and cherish heroes.

Jordan and Kobe hugged: "You have finally reached this day."

"Hahaha." Kobe laughed wildly and shook his head: "Yeah, you passed the torch to us 13 years ago, and now I should hand it over to them."

At this time, James stood up and said: "It's my turn to be the next one? Oh, my God, I really can't imagine how I feel at that moment."

Qiao Dan and Xie Chen looked at each other with deep meaning, but neither of them spoke.

After that, Xie Chen suddenly asked Jordan: "Have you ever thought about participating in the All-Star event? For example, the next shooting star game, didn't Pippen come to play last year? How about it, would you like to form a team with me?"

Jordan was taken aback: "Is that super long-range shooting? Let me think about it, if I start practicing from now on, maybe by this time next year, my super long three-pointers will be on par with Stephen Curry."

After Jordan finished speaking, he laughed, but seeing that Jordan was really interested in agreeing to Xie Chen's invitation, Kobe immediately became excited: "Michael, are you serious? You want to participate in Shooting Star? Oh, great, I said why do I always feel that I will come to the All-Star Game next year, so I want to challenge you!"

Kobe's biggest regret is that he didn't meet Jordan at his peak. The opponent he wanted most was Jordan. When he heard that Jordan was going to participate in the game, Kobe immediately decided to participate.

As soon as Kobe finished speaking, James grabbed Kobe's shoulders: "Brother, we are on the same team! Thanks, Michael, we have an appointment today, and we will fight together here next year!"

The news of Kobe + James VS Xie Chen and Jordan quickly spread to the ears of NBA president Adam Silver. Adam Silver couldn't help hearing the words, and next year's All-Star attention will definitely be high again.

Soon, the All-Star Shooting Star competition began on the scene. The Bosh team won the championship again this year. They have won the championship for four consecutive years, and Bosh also said that next year’s All-Star will continue to participate. After the host heard the news that Xie Chen, Jordan, and Kobe Bryant James would also participate, they asked Bosh what he thought.

After that, it was the Skills Challenge. This time, many star players participated in the Skills Challenge, such as John Wall of the Wizards, Russell of the Lakers, Kyle Lowry of the Raptors, Teague of the Eagles, Jimmy Butler of the Bulls, etc., all participated in the Rookie Challenge.

Before the start of the challenge, the stadium floor was once again used as a big screen to introduce the rules to the fans. It is still quite cool, and the technology is better than last year. It seems that Katie's father has worked hard on it.

The current skill challenge competition is closer to actual combat. It doesn't matter if you are fast enough, it depends on the result. John Wall played the best among them, and finally won the championship of the skill competition easily.

However, although many stars participated in the skills competition, such as Jimmy Butler and John Wall, who were selected for the All-Star Game, the response on the scene was still mediocre.

Last year, there were Xie Chen, Curry, and Klay Thompson in the three-point contest. This year, none of the three three-point masters participated.

However, last year James Harden came, Kyrie Irving also came, and he also attracted an All-Star player, Paul George. The duel of these three stars alone is indeed attractive enough, but it is still worse than the battle between Xie Chen and Curry.

Paul George has made a lot of three-pointers this season, second only to Stephen Curry in the number of goals, and he always hits consecutively during the game, but unfortunately he always misses the last ball, which affects the score.

James Harden's performance was similar to last year, but Kyrie Irving was different. Irving's first few shots were not very good, but he soon got better, and finally hit all five basketballs at the flower spot!It caused quite a commotion at the scene.

In the end, Kyrie Irving beat Paul George to win the three-point contest of this All-Star Game.

After presenting the award to Irving, the lights dimmed again.Everyone knew what was going to happen next, and they all roared excitedly.

"It's finally here! The most exciting slam dunk contest!" The fans couldn't help standing up and shouting for the players they supported.

The black host also tried his best to mobilize the emotions of the fans on the scene. Soon, the contestants would appear one by one, and the ratings of all broadcast media reached their peak at this moment.

CCTV commentator Yu Jia said excitedly: "My friends, the long-awaited 2016 All-Star Slam Dunk Contest is about to begin. I would like to tell you that this year's All-Star Slam Dunk Contest is slightly different from last year's. Last year, the previous player came out and dunked first, and the next player came out next. This year, they all played first, and then dunked one by one. Last year's slam dunk contest champion, second-year player Zach LaVine from the Timberwolves first appeared!"

Dunk King LaVine is the first to play!As soon as he made his appearance, the atmosphere of the scene was instantly detonated. Whether it was those who supported him or James or Xie Chen, they all cried out excitedly when they saw LaVine. LaVine also found two blond, blue-eyed, and hot Caucasian beauties to accompany him, and walked in with dance music.

The next one to play is Westbrook.

Westbrook participated in the slam dunk contest because he lost a bet with Xie Chen, so he was also the one who didn't care about the result and was the least prepared among the four. He didn't have any performances when he entered the arena, but he got a lot of cheers.

Yu Jia: "Okay, after Westbrook, the next player to play is LeBron James from the Cleveland Cavaliers. In front of him is JAY-Z, the famous American hip-hop singer and the owner of the Brooklyn Nets!"

As soon as JAY-Z and James appeared on the stage, they immediately showed the kingly spirit. Both JAY-Z and James are kings in their respective fields. The combination of the two can be said to be perfect, especially when JAY-Z performed an impromptu rap for James on the spot, and the lyrics were obviously for James' new work, and the song was "my president is black".

"The two are really domineering! Before the competition started, James seemed to be announcing to the world that this slam dunk contest belongs to me." Zhang Weiping commented after hearing this.

Yu Jia also said: "That's true. I don't know if there will be any plans for Xie Chen's next appearance."

After the exciting rap music, the prelude to "love story" sounded on the scene. Tomorrow is Valentine's Day in the United States. Many people who came to watch the game today are couples. After such a warm song appeared, it immediately aroused a lot of repercussions.

Then, Taylor Swift's singing appeared, followed by "Prince and Princess". Xie Chen held Ivy Chen with his left hand, and Zhang Junning with his right hand. Both of them were dressed in white dresses, and the picture was extremely beautiful.

Even James was dumbfounded: "He actually invited Taylor Swift."

When it came to the chorus part, the audience began to sing in chorus, and Xie Chen also picked up the microphone to accompany everyone humming. Suddenly, the scene turned into a concert, which was extremely lively.

Perhaps, James' appearance is more domineering, but it is by no means as contagious as Xie Chen.

Since the audience sang along with the chorus, the two basketball commentators didn't know how to explain.On the contrary, Chinese netizens were all surprised and shocked. Americans don't know Ivy Chen and Zhang Junning, but Chinese people know them. The two goddesses accompanied Xie Chen to appear together, and it was during Valentine's Day in China. It was really too cruel for those singles.

"In view of Xie Chen's appearance ceremony, I decided to turn from fan to black! Support James."
