Basketball Dragon

Chapter 74
Li Hai was not the first second-round pick to win the MVP of the Rookie Challenge, but he managed to refresh the lowest pick for this achievement.

Many reporters surrounded him, including many domestic reporters.

"As long as it is a game, I will go all out, and I will do the same in the next regular season."

"Yes, I can play multiple positions, and I've actually played inside."

"For things like All-Stars, as long as the strength is reached, there will naturally be opportunities."

"I enjoyed today's game very much. I would like to thank everyone who supported me. It is you who make me persevere. I will not be satisfied."

Yao Ming, who came to participate in the All-Star Game, also came to support Li Hai's game. With Yao Ming, he shared many reporters' questions.

Facing the bombardment by the reporters, the performances of the two were slightly different. Yao Ming responded well with humor, but Li Hai was a little more "arrogant", almost like Marbury claiming to be the number one in the world.

The days of looking forward to the NBA seem to be still yesterday, but the trophy of the Rookie Challenge is in the first hand.

He also wants to put some pressure on himself and urge himself to pursue higher goals.

Many domestic reporters, like online fans, were looking forward to the cooperation between Li Hai and Yao Ming in the national team, asked a lot of questions in this regard, and got the answers they wanted.

After playing the Rookie Challenge, Li Hai was completely a spectator and a tourist. It was the first time in the past few years that he had a completely relaxing weekend. For him, it was a special experience.

Ever since he became a basketball player, he rarely watched games as a spectator. On the second day of the All-Star Weekend, Li Hai sat in the audience.

The first start is the Mixed Shooting Contest, with four teams participating, each consisting of an NBA player, a WNBA player and a former NBA player.Each team hits the target at each shot point in sequence within the specified time, and the team with the shortest time wins.

Seeing Xia Weiliang looking forward to it, Li Hai couldn't help joking, "Test your vision, which team do you think will win."

"Hey, don't look at you as a good player, the level of analysis and prediction is definitely not as good as mine." Xia Weiliang brushed her long black hair, full of confidence.

"Then did you predict the result of the rookie competition?" Li Hai teased.

"That's...Of course, you don't believe me, or let's make a bet."

"Bet again, haha!" Li Hai laughed happily.

He still remembers what happened when he first arrived in the United States. It was quite interesting to tease his wife.

Xia Weiliang obviously also remembered that incident, Li Hai fulfilled the bet to a small place, she felt despised even more, and always wanted to get back the place.

"You will lose this time. There are four competitions today. Let's compare who is more professional."

"But I have to choose first." Xia Weiliang vigorously stuffed a handful of popcorn into her mouth.

She was afraid that something unexpected would happen like last time, but the four events should be about the same.

Li Hai said disdainfully: "You choose first, and I will tell you what is called a profession."

"Okay, the Los Angeles team will be chosen for the mixed shooting competition. Which team do you choose? If everyone chooses the wrong team, it will only be a tie." Xia Weiliang was still full of confidence in the first half of the sentence, but saw Li Hai's cunning in the second half. The smile is a little weak.

Mixed shots are actually the worst guesses, because there is a midcourt shot at the end, which requires luck, but Los Angeles' lineup of Luke Walton, Lisa Leslie, and "Magic" Johnson seems to be more difficult to shoot. Be stronger.

"The Phoenix team." Li Hai said calmly.

"It's not about the attacking power of the season team." Xia Weiliang muttered dissatisfied.

Phoenix has Sean Marion, Diana Taurasi and Dan Mayer, Detroit has Ronald Dupree, Sven Cash and Adrian Dantley, Denver has Andre Lew Miller, Alex English and Becky Harmon.

Then Xia Weiliang's first guess was a tragedy, the Los Angeles team was only second, and the Phoenix team won the first place with a big advantage.

Li Hai knew the result before the competition, so how could he lose?

The next skill challenge was between Steve Nash, Earl Boykins, Luke Ridnour and Gilbert Arenas.

Xia Weiliang said angrily: "I bet on Steve Nash, I won't believe it."

Li Hai said with a smile: "I also bet on Steve Nash, I don't believe it either."

"Why do you bet the same as me."

"I didn't say anything different, anyway, I'm already in the lead, and if I'm the same as you in the future, I'm sure I'll win."

Xia Weiliang froze for a moment, opened her mouth to bite someone, Li Hai quickly gave up.

Sure enough, after Steve Nash and Earl Boykins entered the finals, Nash, who performed extremely well this season, won the Skills Challenge Championship.

In the subsequent three-point long-range shooting competition, a total of six players participated, Quentin Richardson, Kyle Korver, Wash Leonard, Ray Allen, Joe Johnson, Radmano Vitch, among them, Wash Leonard and Ray Allen have already won the championship.

"I think Ray Allen is the strongest, but Kyle Korver was also very good at three-pointers in yesterday's game, ah... I won't guess, you guess, if you guess wrong, you have to look good."

"Okay, then Quentin Richardson." Li Hai was extremely calm.

"You're not a fan of the Suns, are you? You're the one who guessed them in the third round." Xia Weiliang was a little curious.

Li Hai touched his forehead, "Of course not, I prefer a team with a balanced offense and defense. As far as the game is concerned, I'm just discussing the facts. Please trust my professional vision."

The best scorer in the first round was defending champion Wash Leonard, who advanced to the finals along with Kyle Korver and Quentin Richardson.

In the final, Quentin Richardson defeated Kyle Korver by 1 point to win the championship. Xia Weiliang looked at Li Hai with a little admiration.

Li Hai smiled smugly, didn't he just want to have fun just to see this kind of eyes.

The final slam dunk contest consisted of Josh Smith, Amare Stoudemire, JR Smith, and Chris Anderson.

"I know the rules, it's Amare Stoudemire, right?"

"No, according to professional analysis, it's Josh Smith."

In the preliminaries, Josh Smith and Amare Stoudemire still scored the same score. In the final, Josh Smith scored two perfect points and won the slam dunk contest undisputedly.

Li Hai once again put on a frightening look, and once again accepted the adoring gaze.

As a result, there were admiration eyes all around, "Dude, can you professionally analyze how far we can go this season?"
