Chapter 411 Fifty Star Awards Ceremony + History Ninth
The 9th, the main game day, is also the award day for the top 50 superstars.
Last year, because he was in a hurry to apply for a marriage certificate during the All-Star Weekend, Lao Wang only went through the cutscene. This year, he prepared a set of two-handed knife skills as the opening show.
"Zheng!"
As soon as he appeared on the stage, the sword roared like a roar, and the sword flashed. A cool and explosive sword-drawing gesture aroused cheers from the audience, and then the rolling sword light appeared on the catwalk. The fierce sword power was shocking, woo woo The whistling wind of the sword was clearly audible, and the killing atmosphere permeated the entire venue, causing the cheers and screams to reach peaks one after another. Before the All-Star Game even started, the atmosphere reached a climax.
"Damn old K, it's like this every year, he always steals the show alone."
"That's right, we have all become supporting roles."
"Just a reminder, this guy is narrow-minded, so give him a round of applause, otherwise if he cuts you with a knife, it will just be an accident."
"Thanks for the reminder! Thanks for the reminder!"
"What a risk! It's really possible."
A group of all-stars who appeared stood nearby, clapping their hands and making complaints.
David Stern is extremely satisfied. Last year, Old K was perfunctory. He was still a little unhappy. Today, Old K was good and worked very hard. I will support him in the future. If his All-Star performance is okay, AMVP can give him a regular season title this year. mvp, as long as the old K maintains continuous performance, it can also be considered.
"Friends from the audience, Tie Jun is performing his two-handed sword skills. He comes from Cangzhou, Henan Province. He comes from a martial arts family and is proficient in various traditional martial arts..."
In the CCTV live broadcast, Zhang Lili boasted excitedly...
"Old K is proficient in eighteen kinds of martial arts..." Su Qun also fully cooperated.
If Lao Wang looked back and saw their live broadcast content, it would definitely be a bit embarrassing. He is good at all kinds of martial arts, but he would never dare to say "proficient". Millions of people in Cangzhou would laugh to death.
In the eyes of connoisseurs, his sword skills are nothing more than this, taking advantage of his own strength and just showing off.
At the end of the show, Lao Wang came off the stage carrying his Miao Dao and was immediately surrounded by the stars.
Tom Cruise grabbed his Miao Dao and shouted excitedly: "Old K, this knife technique is so cool, can you teach me? I want to use it in the movie."
"Tom, you go to the martial arts company run by my wife and Cheng Long. If they don't know how to use two-handed swordsmanship, you can come to me again. I will find a brother in the K martial arts school to teach you. He is the master of this set of swordsmanship." The orthodox successor." Lao Wang smiled.
"It's a deal."
After Tom Cruise finished speaking, he did not let go of the Miao knife and shouted: "But you want to give this knife to me, give it to me quickly, and let go!"
"Hey, hey, hey, Tom, I want this knife." Arnold squeezed over and grabbed the blade with one big hand.
"I think my Eastern fighting style is best suited for this knife." Steven Seagal also squeezed over and grabbed the knife with one hand.
"I'll treat you to chicken ten times, so don't fight with me," said Tom Cruise.
"Twenty times," said Arnold.
"Although I don't have as much money as you, I can still afford it thirty times." Siegel said unwillingly.
"You can decide for yourself, I don't care."
Lao Wang simply gave up. He didn't want to be in trouble with the customer, and it wasn't worth much money anyway.
At half past eight, the main game begins.
This year's All-Stars attracted more attention than previous years because the top 50 stars were awarded, so the All-Stars also strived to perform.
There was no defense in the first half. Both sides played a very gorgeous offense. Even Lao Wang performed a one-stop fast break dunk after grabbing a backcourt rebound, which won the full house.
After the first half, we entered the most interesting Top 50 awards ceremony.
Current All-Stars such as Wang and Jordan hurried back to the locker room. All the top 50 superstars had to put on the league's uniform leather jackets, which came in two colors, and so did they.
Lao Wang chose red, then left the locker room with everyone, lined up in the corridor, and prepared to play.
The guards are at the front, with Michael Jordan first, then John Stockton, then the guards, then the forwards, and finally the center.
He automatically stood at the last one. Although he was not the last one in terms of honors, he was the most junior and the youngest. Anyway, there was no ranking among the top 50, so there was no need to fight for this.
Everyone lined up casually, with George McCann right in front of him, Russell in front of him, and Chamberlain in front of him.
"Young man, if you can stay healthy for ten years, you will rule the turn of the century." George McCann looked back and said.
"George, I think I will."
Facing the league's first true superstar, the first strongman to force the league to change its rules, Lao Wang did not dare to be rude and spoke very seriously.
"Young man, your defense is getting better and better. A real superstar can't do without defense." Russell, who was in front, heard the conversation behind him and turned around and said.
"Of course." Lao Wang nodded and smiled.
Chamberlain also turned around, thought for a while and said: "Young man, you have never scored more than 60 points in a single game. Keep working hard."
Russell and George McCann both laughed and did not answer Chamberlain's words.
Lao Wang was also startled, old guy, do you think I am a scumbag like you?
The first time he heard Chamberlain's name, he scored 100 points in a single game. He was very shocked. There was such a god?
Unfortunately, when he later collected written materials related to that game, he discovered that it was just an ugly point-grabbing battle.
With a lead of more than 30 points, his opponents gave up the game. He continued to rack up points on the court, asking all his teammates to pass the ball to him, and he scored alone, so that the opponents could only defend him with all their strength.
, would rather let his teammates score than let him score. In the end, there was no other way. The opponent could only use foul tactics and let him take free throws.
His score dropped due to poor free throw shooting, and he also thought of a good way. If you let me take free throws, I will let you take free throws, and then I can get the ball back.
So, with the score difference of several ten points, the two teams began to use disgusting foul tactics.
In the end, he achieved his wish and scored an unprecedented 100 points in a single game.
…
"Now, ladies and gentlemen, it's the 50th anniversary of the founding of the NBA, and it's time for the Top 50 Star Awards Ceremony..."
At this time, the on-site host began to preside over the ceremony, and then came the exit ceremony. As the music sounded, the lights in the audience were extinguished, leaving only the lights above the stadium.
A seven- to eight-meter league sign is placed in the middle of the court, with the NBA logo on it and a huge 50 next to the sign.
Jordan was the first to walk out of the tunnel, and the audience immediately burst into warm applause and cheers. Then the next one, the top 50 superstars came out, and Pharaoh was the last. The audience also burst into warm cheers and applause.
The top 50 superstars lined up in five rows after entering the stadium. The guards lined up in two rows on the left and right of the sign stand. The forwards lined up in the two rows on the left and right behind. At the end was the center with the largest number of people. In front of each row, there was a one-foot-tall award winner.
tower.
"Dear audience friends, Tie Jun has made his final appearance." Zhang Lili said excitedly.
If Lao Wang hears this, okay, Brother Zhang, don’t brag about me, I’m not the finale, I really am not.
"Now, my guest is Michael Jordan!" the host shouted while the music was playing.
Jordan chewed gum, waved to the fans, and then stood on the podium.
"John Stockton."
"Clyde Drexler."
"Isaiah Thomas."
…
"Wilt Chamberlain."
"Bill Russell."
"George McCann."
"Wang Tiejun."
As superstars stood on the podium one after another, cheers and applause continued to ring out from the scene. At this time, no fans would be stingy with their applause and cheers.
On the sidelines, all NBA players and celebrity guests stood and applauded.
Wang Tiejun was the last one to stand on the podium, enjoying the cheers of the fans. At this time, the system screen suddenly rang, and a point reward prompt appeared: "Congratulations to the host for being officially selected into the top 50 NBA superstars. 2,000 points are hereby awarded.
"
"So much for 2000, haha, not bad!"
This is a surprise. It is becoming more and more difficult to obtain point rewards now, and the general honor system does not look at it at all.
Now he has another 2,800 points in his hand, which is of some use.
"One day, I will be one of them."
In the audience, Iverson, Kobe, and a group of young rookies were very excited, and they all had similar thoughts.
"marvelous!"
Zhang Lili said excitedly: "It is the 50th anniversary of the founding of the league. By the end of last season, Tiejun had only played 4 seasons and was already among the top 50 superstars. His career has just begun. What achievements will he have in the future?
I really can’t imagine it now.”
At the TNT live broadcast, Albert the groom said with a smile: "More than half of the fifty superstars belong to ancient mythical beasts. They are also the memories of our generation. It feels really great to see them appear here!"
Kevin Harlan smiled and said: "What's even better is that there are great players like Michael Jordan in the league who have opened up the market. If we want to rank the top 50 superstars, I think he should be ranked first."
Albert thought for a moment and nodded: "Michael now holds three championships. He is not the superstar with the most championships, but since he joined the league, the development of the league has been on the fast track. From a small sports league
He has indeed made the greatest contribution to the development of one of the four major professional sports leagues in North America. All NBA players now should thank him. If you say he is number one, I agree."
Many viewers in front of the TV nodded at this time, because most of them were attracted by Jordan and became NBA fans.
Kevin Harlan continued: "Then second is Wilt Chamberlain. He has unparalleled statistics in the regular season, averaging 5,020 points per game and 100 points in a single game. Even Old K is far behind. I think he deserves to be ranked
second."
Albert had some opposite opinions and said: "I think Russell should be ranked second. After all, he has too many championships."
This time, the opinions of the viewers in front of the TV were not unanimous. Some thought Lord of the Rings was better, while others thought King of Data was stronger.
"Okay, then they are ranked second and third. Marv, who do you think is fourth?" Kevin Harlan said.
Albert thought for a moment and said: "Fourth? Magic Johnson, before Jordan appeared, he was the core of the NBA, and everyone was watching his performance."
This is the same as Jordan just now. Most of the viewers in front of the TV recognized that the gorgeous performance of the showtime era is still fresh in their memories.
Kevin Harlan thought for a while, nodded, and said: "Then I think fifth is Oscar Robertson, who averages a triple-double per game and is the only one in history. The only pity is that Big O was unlucky and only won
A championship."
Albert shook his head and said: "I think it was Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Big O's only championship was won with Sky Hook.
He has six championships, six MVPs, 19 All-Star appearances, and is the leading scorer in history. He even thinks he should be ranked fourth."
Kevin Harlan said: "Okay, let's just talk about seventh. I think seventh is Larry Bird, Bird's MVP for three consecutive years, and the black and white showdown with Magic Johnson was extremely exciting, and he should be ranked
This location.”
Albert nodded and said: "Agree. Then eighth, I think it is Jerry West. He is the only person who lost the finals but won the FMVP."
Kevin Harlan nodded noncommittally and said, "What about ninth?"
Albert said: "Da Meng? No, his honor is not as good as that of old K. Kim Baylor? He couldn't win a championship and was ranked ninth. Da Meng is not convinced.
Moses Malone? Just like Dameng, he has one championship and one FMVP. He has three MVPs, but he is more qualified than Dameng to be ranked ninth."
"Isn't the ninth old K? You are out of your mind!"
"Lao K is definitely qualified to be in the top five. If I don't give him ninth place, I won't accept it."
"Does this need to be considered? In the finals, we averaged 50 points per game and swept the championship in four rounds as a core player. This is the best record in history. If Mr. K doesn't make the top five, you can all go fuck yourself."
"Chamberlain was ranked second and third, but I didn't even give him ninth place. Where is TNT's professionalism?"
"Give me another five years, and I'll definitely be in the top three in history. Now I'll give you ninth, so you guys can still have some dignity, otherwise you'll be embarrassed by then."
Countless Laowang fans in front of the TV began to complain.
In the live broadcast booth, Kevin Harlan also muttered these three names in his mouth, and suddenly said: "Kim Baylor will definitely not be able to sit in the ninth position. The Dream only has one championship. He is not as good as Moses Malone, and Moses
If Ma Long sits in ninth place, where will Lao K sit?"
"Old K?"
Old K's honor immediately flashed through Albert's mind, and then he compared it with Moses Malone.
Moses Malone has two more mvps, but one less championship and one less fmvp. The most important thing is of course the championship.
Moreover, Old K’s Finals record is really eye-catching, averaging 50 points per game. This is a statistic that even Jordan, the real first player in the history of the Finals, cannot achieve.
This data is definitely not inferior to Chamberlain's 100 points in a single game. With this data alone, Old K is qualified to enter the top ten in history.
He nodded and said: "Okay, Old K is ranked ninth, Moses Malone is tenth, and they will be in the top ten. Of course, this is just our opinion. Media professionals and fans will each have their own judgment on the specific position..."
In New York, O'Neal was a little disappointed. TNT actually ranked the old K as ninth in history. He has fallen far behind in the competition with the old K.
Originally entering the league in the same season, everyone was on the same starting line. Unexpectedly, in just four or five seasons, the difference was already so big, which was difficult for him to accept.
The grand awards ceremony ended, and the All-Star Game continued. In the end, the Western Conference won, and Old K won the second AMVP trophy in his career.
He paid attention, and sure enough, he looked down upon this useless honor system and had no reaction at all.
