I just play ball

Chapter 297

Since someone is willing to take the initiative to guide, Li Yue is naturally willing to listen, and immediately raised his hand to signal please speak.

LeBron immediately opened his mouth and narrated logically and clearly for about 2 minutes, almost mentioning all the rules. Lawson and Rondo then made supplements, probably writing some special gameplay, which is simple to understand.

After listening to Li Yue, he thought about rebuilding the BOORAY gameplay, and soon realized that the core rules are very simple. There are only some simple strategies. Winning or losing each game mainly depends on luck. For a long time, these two points highly match the style of NBA players, which is the reason why it can be widely popular.

When he said that he had figured it out, everyone started fighting immediately, and the bet for the first game was [-] US dollars.

In just half an hour, Li Yue lost the entrance fee of [-] U.S. dollars through a risky strategy, and then shirked that he could not adapt to this game, and turned around and left smartly amidst the sound of "very regrettable" from everyone.

Back in the room, Li Yue chatted with Taylor about this matter. Taylor said that those players were not trying to win money, but just wanted to beat him in a certain event to seek excitement, but there is no need to explore whether it is true.

...

At 16 a.m. on the 9th, Li Yue came to the Smoothie King Center to participate in the collective training of all-star players.

Training is just a name. After the players selected from the east and west arrive, they will either accept interviews with reporters or chat with friends. Only Lillard and other first-time rookies who actually shoot the ball. They are a bit thin-skinned and take the league arrangements too seriously.

After accepting the interview with CCTV5 reporter, Li Yue was about to enter the field to shoot and warm up, but was stopped by Durant with a smile.

"I heard that you lost face in BOORAY last night, so you ran back to your room early?"

Li Yue was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that he deliberately let the water go. It was rumored that he was too embarrassed to continue playing. Just when he was about to explain, Durant patted him on the shoulder and continued: "I'm a BOORAY master. You should report this matter to me." I learn."

Hearing this, the corners of Li Yue's mouth turned up slightly, thinking why all of them are masters, and immediately asked: "How good are you?"

"I'm at least among the top three players in the NBA." Durant was full of confidence, "Every time I play this in the team, I only lose 100 out of 10 times. I'm basically the genius actor in "Blackjack". s level."

"Then if you have a chance, you must play with LeBron. He claims to be the best BOORAY player in the world. I want to see which of you two can win in the end, otherwise I can't tell which of you is bragging."

"Of course, I think it will be fine at noon or evening today."

"Then it's settled."

...

The group training ended at ten o'clock. According to the arrangement of the league, Li Yue, as the representative of the Western Conference players, attended a press conference reported by as many as 200 media together with LeBron and the new president Adam Silver.

The three of Li Yue entered the waiting area first, and the staff sent a general list of questions with guiding answers.

After browsing through it roughly, Li Yue found that the questions related to himself were mainly how he felt when he became the vote leader, what expectations he had for entering the All-Star for the first time, whether he would lead his teammates like he did with the Lakers, and how he planned to introduce this All-Star to Chinese fans. Weekends, All-Star Weekends from previous years, whether you have impressive memories, etc.

Generally speaking, these are insignificant, and they are inserted between Silver and LeBron as a buffer, while the problems of LeBron and Silver involve high-end types such as NBA future trends and humanistic care, and the differential treatment is very obvious.

With such an arrangement, Li Yue didn't have much opinion, but he had a question about how to evaluate the new rules of this slam dunk contest, and the attached guiding answer actually mentioned that Adam Silver brought a new atmosphere to the All-Star Weekend ...

Such a stupid rule is actually used to flatter the new president, it is simply unconscionable, and it is absolutely unacceptable.

After waiting for about 10 minutes, the press conference was officially held, and the three of Li Yue took the stage under the shouts of the host.After a brief introduction, the press conference entered the questioning session. The first question asked what changes Adam Silver will bring to the NBA.

Xiao Hua's eloquence was eloquent, and he continued to talk endlessly. Three minutes passed in the blink of an eye, and he still didn't finish speaking.Li Yue looked at LeBron a little irritably, and LeBron also cast the same look, and the two of them complained silently.

Xiao Hua didn't finish his answer until he promised to bring fans a better viewing experience. It took four and a half minutes, and the reporters in the audience were almost overwhelmed. The host hurriedly called the ESPN reporter to ask Li Yue questions.

"You are about to participate in this All-Star Slam Dunk Contest, and it happens to meet this year's new rules. What's your comment on this?"

"The new rules are too bad!" Li Yue blurted out, "First of all, the east and west teams form, which causes the individual performance of the players to be affected by the performance of other players. What should I do if my teammates perform poorly and fail to win the championship, it will become a permanent regret in the slam dunk contest."

After saying this, Li Yue turned his head slightly to look at Xiao Hua, and found that the other party's eyebrows were shaking frequently, but he still pretended to be calm.

"The second is the 90-second free dunk in the first round. I don't know who proposed this rule. Could it be to deliberately interfere with the audience's sight or make it more difficult for the broadcaster? Why can't everyone do it alone? Is it not exciting enough?"

"If there is a lack of tacit understanding among participating players, it may even affect teammates to dunk, why bother?"

"Finally, let's talk about the judging criteria. Why is it not a scoring mechanism? Only two votes from three judges may result in two dunks with similar levels of excitement, and one will lose. This is neither reasonable nor fair, I think ..."

"OK, I think your understanding of the new rules of the slam dunk contest is somewhat biased." Xiao Hua forcibly interrupted with a smile on his face, "These ideas may also be determined by your personal preferences. Naturally, other audiences like to form teams."

"No one will like it." Li Yue shrugged and spread his hands, "Let's see."

The atmosphere at the scene became extremely awkward, and the host hurriedly called the TNT reporter to ask LeBron questions.

...

At eleven o'clock, the press conference ended, and Li Yue and LeBron took the same car to the hotel.

LeBron euphemistically suggested that you don’t need to ask any questions to speak your mind. Li Yue expressed his understanding. At the same time, he sent a BOORAY invitation, emphasizing that he wanted to see if Durant was bragging. It didn’t take too long, just a few games.

After checking the schedule, LeBron agreed, and by the way, invited those players who participated last night, and spread the news widely.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, dozens of NBA players gathered on the top floor of the hotel to start the eight-man BOORAY invitation.

There are too many changes in the eight-person game, and it depends on luck to win. The main strategy is to ensure that you persist for a long time.

Li Yue participated and watched the whole process from the sidelines. He fully understood why OJ Mayo and Tony Allen would fight because of this kind of card game. .

The key is that these pains come from the opponent's deliberate actions. It is easy enough to feel that it is aimed at oneself, but when it is aimed at others, it is so cool that it explodes.

After an hour of hard work, Durant and LeBron both came to the bottom, and Rondo became the biggest winner.

All the players were still unsatisfied, and the assistants of all the players kept reminding them, so all the players reluctantly started their respective schedules.

Li Yue also left the hotel and went to the Smoothie King Center to attend the skills challenge and other activities as the captain of the western region.

PS: Originally, there was a detailed description of BOORAY's gameplay and specific scenarios, but considering that it was difficult to understand and emotional transmission was too troublesome, it was finally deleted.
