Rebirth of Yidi Legend

Chapter 96 Before the All-Star Weekend
The 08 All-Star Weekend was held at the New Orleans Arena of the New Orleans Hornets.

Speaking of which, this is the first time in the history of the Hornets to host the All-Star Weekend. Similarly, this is also the first time that this arena hosts the All-Star Weekend.

More importantly, the NBA All-Star Weekend 08 is the first sports event that New Orleans has hosted since Hurricane Katrina in 05.

For the fans in this city, this is the spiritual comfort brought to them by the league.

"Unity, friendship, and building a better homeland" was originally the main theme of this All-Star Game.

But because of someone or something, many fans of this All-Star Game are focusing on other places - they are more concerned about what kind of results that guy named Yi Jianlian can achieve in the All-Star Game.

"Heh heh, it would be funny if no one passed the ball to him! I remember the same thing happened when Yao of the Rockets participated in the All-Star Game for the first time. No one interacted with him at all!"

Some fans remembered that when Yao Ming was selected as the first All-Star starter, it also caused quite a shock, which was even worse than Yi Jianlian this time.

At that time, Yao Ming was just a fledgling, but he wanted to be the champion of the three consecutive championships, the winner of the three consecutive fmvp championships, and the league's number one center, Shaquille O'Neal, would serve as his substitute.

In order to vent their anger on O'Neal, a group of veterans in the West basically had no interaction with him except Kobe and Francis. Even in the final game, he played as the starting center but only took one shot.

It can be seen how much the other stars in the league didn't like Yao Ming at that time.

Many fans believe that Yi Jianlian will definitely repeat the same mistakes this time, and will be forced to follow Yao Ming's old path to experience this embarrassment.

"Who let him occupy a position that didn't belong to him? This position should belong to the Wolf King!" Well, some fans still stubbornly believe that this position should belong to Kevin Garnett.

"Don't forget, Michael Reed is also participating in the All-Star Game this time, I believe he will definitely help Yi show up in the All-Star Game!"

As expected, Michael Reid, who has performed well this season, also entered the East bench in the All-Star Game as he wished.

And with his name appearing on the Eastern Conference All-Star bench, the Bucks can finally have two members of the All-Star lineup in the same year after many years.

Milwaukee's sports channel and official website even reported on this incident specifically, and also made a lot of associations from it.

If it weren't for the limited space, maybe the three consecutive championships would have been written.

Not long after he was selected as a substitute for the Eastern Conference All-Stars, Michael Reed once again claimed in an interview that Yi Jianlian, the starting power forward in the Eastern Conference, was obtained by himself with his strength. He did not let anyone down, and he is absolutely worthy of this honor.

Just looking at the posture of standing up for Yi Jianlian, it is comparable to Francis back then.

In the previous life, when Yi Jianlian first entered the league, Michael Reid also took good care of him and helped him speak in front of the media, but it was a pity that Yi Jianlian was too restrained at that time, and coupled with the excessive inner pressure, he was not good to anyone. With a straight face, he couldn't fit into the circle at all, and gradually even Michael Reed stopped speaking for him.

It can be seen from this that the quality of character can really determine many things!

"Yi, you have to hold this camera to shoot during the All-Stars. In addition, you have to take out this phone from time to time and touch it in your hand. These are all signed contracts!"

The day before the official departure for New Orleans, Dan Fagan chased Yi Jianlian's house with a large bag of things and more than a dozen contracts, and told him one by one.

"Also, these are men's casual suits provided by Youngor. You must wear this brand's clothes on the first two days of the All-Star Weekend. There are three sets in total!"

"And the leather shoes are..."

"This watch is..."

Yi Jianlian let Dan Feigen stuff all kinds of things out of the bag into his hands, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: The money came so quickly!
Yi Jianlian made a rough estimate, and in just one All-Star Weekend, the endorsement fee he could earn has already exceeded 30 US dollars.

"Don't bother me, Yi, I swear in the name of God, these are the results after I turned down most of the endorsements. After you became an All-Star, all of China's sponsors are crazy, OMG of!"

As if recalling the scene at that time, Dan Feigen seemed to be complaining about something in his mouth with lingering fears, but seeing the smile on his face, Yi Jianlian was sure that this guy did not lose money this time!

"OK, you can take me to the airport now!"

There was a burst of boredom for no reason.

Yi Jianlian has no hatred or dissatisfaction with Dan Feigen. On the contrary, this guy's handling ability is definitely one of the top group of people in the broker circle.But when I thought about how badly this guy had done the original Yi Jianlian back then, and when I thought about how much money this guy had made from him, more or less, I still felt a little uncomfortable.

Forget it, forget it, don't think about it so much, when you have a chance in the future, teach this guy a lesson, and you can take revenge for the original Yi Jianlian!
***
Yi Jianlian went to New Orleans with Michael Reed, and there happened to be a companion along the way.

It may be because of the coming of the NBA All-Star Weekend. At the New Orleans Airport, Yi Jianlian saw many stars: Ariana Grande, Selena Gomez, Emma Roberts.

Hey, why are they all female stars!

"Hi Michael!"

What surprised Yi Jianlian was that Michael Reed seemed to be recognized by some celebrities, but it was normal when he thought about it. Anyway, Michael Reed was an All-Star two or three years ago, and he is still a little famous!
"easy?"

What surprised Yi Jianlian even more was that among these celebrities, there were some who could recognize him!
Uh... you are not talking nonsense!With your skin color, plus the discussion about you on the Internet these two days, if you don’t know him, you have to know him!
It's just a pity that even if Michael Reed secretly introduced the works of these guys to him, he still hasn't heard of any of these celebrities who know him. Well, to put it simply, they are not popular.

I still have to work hard!

Yi Jianlian sighed in his heart, the popularity is still not enough!

Look at Kobe Bryant, Jessica Alba, Kelly Brook, Nickrich, these guys are obviously going up!
If you really reach that level, you don’t need anything else, Scarlett, um~ it’s pretty good~
Of course, Yi Jianlian will definitely not have the idea of ​​drinking bath water, the taste is too strong, let Dudu realize it by himself!He just wanted to hold hands, kiss, and talk about life ideals in the hotel.

No, no, no, I can't think about this, the more I think about it, the more I get excited, "Xiao Xiaoyi" is ready to move.

It was only then that Yi Jianlian realized that he was able to spend every day in the training ground not because of his excellent concentration, but mainly because he did not encounter these things!
"Fortunately! Fortunately, I'm not famous yet!" Thinking of the end, Yi Jianlian patted his chest with lingering fear, with a trace of rejoicing on his face.

　There will be 6000 recommendation tickets soon, brothers, please work harder, tomorrow will be the third watch, thank you, thank you...
