NBA opening draw to twilight Shaquille O'Neal

Chapter 626
Another half hour passed.

All the people participating in the rehearsal have arrived.

Wang Zelin and his team, the 09 generation duo, and a knight No. 23 who did not want to be named enthusiastically organized the rehearsal location, dance troupe costumes, and props from beginning to end.

Compared with last year's seven-member dance troupe, this year there are fewer Love and Wade, and one more bearded golfer, just six people.

By the way, even the dance video and instructor, James has arranged everything properly.

It was originally agreed to go to cook first, and then come back to rehearse with peace of mind after cooking, but the plan is not as good as changing.

The dance adapted from "Little Apple" is much simpler than last year's Jay Chou choreographed "Nunchaku" + Kung Fu.

For a three and a half minute dance, a dance troupe with six people is obviously better at arranging formation than a dance troupe with seven people.

Under the guidance of a professional teacher, everyone first got familiar with the dance steps, then practiced the formation and movement changes, and finally put on the leather jackets and formally rehearsed...

After a series of procedures, it took less than two hours.

At two o'clock at noon, the instructor left cursing.

According to his words: "For this kind of young and child-oriented purely cute dance, it is easy to find a college student majoring in dance and guide them. If it is not for the sake of money..."

After the basic understanding of the whole set of movements, everyone, who had been hungry for a long time, found a western restaurant nearby to cook.

After drinking and eating, everyone returned to the arena to start the afternoon practice, constantly consolidating and deepening their proficiency in dancing.

Since everyone has been selected as an All-Star, according to the past practice, everyone is very busy during the All-Star Weekend. In the next few days, not only will there be many sponsorship activities for endorsement brands, but there will also be public welfare activities organized by the alliance.

Therefore, during this precious time, everyone rehearsed carefully over and over again. At [-]:[-] pm, they finally left the arena and went back to the hotel to rest.

The next few days were very busy, but everyone still agreed to spend half an hour every day to rehearse several times to ensure that there would be no mistakes during the official performance of the All-Star Game.

Of course, this has to be attributed to the popularity of the opening dance in the past two years, which made fans have extremely high expectations for this year's performance.

That night, after asking Wang Zelin and James for their opinions successively, the NBA officially announced on the Internet that there will be six All-Stars participating in the opening show this year.

After that, the usual highlights of the All-Star Weekend seemed to be focused on their performances all at once.

This made the NBA's official operations department both happy and sad.

The joy is that, compared to the previous All-Star Game, where many stars were not willing to even play, the popularity has continued to explode in recent years.

All of this has to be traced back to the beginning of the Trail Blazers entering the league on the 36th.

But the sad thing is that all the attention of the All-Star game itself was taken away by the opening dance of these stars!
This makes members of the entire operations department feel like they are a bit redundant.

Fortunately, the wages that should be paid still have to be paid, so they are suffering and happy now.

……

……

at the same time.

This All-Star Weekend, with the official establishment of the dance show by Wang Zelin and others, the popularity was so high that the discussion of the original All-Star Game became low.

It also made other people who were selected as All-Stars very envious and jealous!
On the afternoon of the 13th, the third day of the All-Star Weekend, Wang Zelin met with the current All-Star players. Everyone took pictures of the officials and did various activities.

During the charity work, Wei Shao, who has always been straightforward, half-jokingly said: "Wang, I am actually quite interested in dance performances and so on. It shouldn't be too late to join you now."

"Haha, it's too late this year, let's go next year, next year my brother will take you to pretend to be 13 and fly together!"

Wang Zelin said with a smile.

"Okay, then it's a deal."

After the agreement was made, Westbrook turned around and joined the ranks of distributing gifts to the children.

Not far away, Durant glanced at Wang Zelin nervously, then turned his head and walked towards Westbrook.

After a busy afternoon, a group of all-stars waved goodbye to the children in the orphanage who looked at them reluctantly.

It was another night in a blink of an eye.

On the 14th, the 2015 All-Star Weekend officially kicked off. This year's All-Star Weekend will be more exciting than ever.

New York is one of the largest ball markets in the world, and the number of participants in this All-Star is huge and the number is astonishing.

At the same time, the excitement of this All-Star Weekend is also worthy of the fans' expectations and participation.

Starting from the first event in the morning, the Masters, the famous American comedian Kevin Hart, who represented the Eastern team, was once again favored by countless fans. Although the Eastern team lost 51:57 to the Western team, he was still voted For the MVP of the Masters.

By the way, this is also the fourth consecutive year that he has been elected as the celebrity MVP, creating a new NBA historical record.

After the game, Hart announced his retirement. He was crowned 4 times and will be the MVP of tomorrow, which can be regarded as a beautiful end to his Masters career.

In the afternoon, the rookie game of the All-Star Game started, which can be regarded as the first climax of the All-Star Weekend.

The selection system for the main game of this year's rookie game is still the same as last year's selection system, and the head coach of the team with the best record in the East and West will be in charge.

It's just that compared to last year's first- and second-year rookie battle, this year's All-Star rookie game has made a revolutionary change. Now the first-year and second-year rookies in the league will be divided into two teams according to their respective nationalities.

After the reform, the rookie game has since been divided into the US team and the international team.

The new gimmick is undoubtedly quite successful, what's more, this year's rookie game also has Wiggins, a super rookie who claims to have no less physical talent than "little emperor James".

The U.S. team will be coached by Kenny Atkinson, assistant coach of the Eagles with the best record in the Eastern Conference; David Vanderpool, assistant coach of the Trail Blazers, will guide the international team.

After the game started, they played very beautifully. The younger generation of international players is different from the older generation. They are as good at performing as the local players.

Jokic, who served as the starting center in the rookie game, ate more, made a wonderful pass, or assisted his former teammate Adams to cut into a dunk, or made a fake shot. German defender Dennis Schroeder broke through the defense and then pulled the limit.

Of course, Wiggins is indispensable for the performance of the International team.Wiggins, who has been trained by the Kings, has not yet embarked on the "point of no return" of health-preserving basketball. He broke through dunks several times, which made the fans hooked.

On the contrary, the local American team lacked enthusiasm on the court. Except for Oladipo, Zach LaVine, and Trey Burke, there were basically no other hot spots.

The game entered the 5-minute countdown and entered the real swords and guns link. The international team also showed richer actual combat experience.

In the final analysis, most of the players in the international team have made their debut in European professional basketball at a young age. There are actually very few foreign players like Wiggins who made their debut in NCAA colleges.

Therefore, the international team generally has more team spirit than the US local team.

In the last few minutes, the rookies of the international team showed good teamwork skills. Although it was their first time to cooperate, they were able to ensure the stability of the organization and at the same time suppress the counterattack of the straggling American rookies in time.

In this way, the international team defeated the US team 135:122, and they also became the first winning team since the All-Star rookie game was restructured.

The reformed rookie game has highlighted the elements of regional duels, coupled with the wonderful performances of a group of talented rookies, the fans have enjoyed it.

However, what they never thought was that the first day was actually just a small warm-up, because one day later, two people would appear in the three-point contest and the slam dunk contest, bringing this All-Star Weekend to another climax.
