Chapter 679 [Ordinary teammates, the biggest winner]
Yang Jian once again played a milestone game. When he arrived, he was fully prepared to compete for MVP, and he greeted coach George Karl and teammate Payton.
Anyway, the Western Conference team doesn't have any stars to play at home, so he doesn't need to be humble.
Even if someone plays at home, Yang Jian still wants to get this honor, because the All-Star Game MVP is one of his best honors. On this occasion, he can get many easy singles opportunities. Usually he is always double-teamed and his opponents force him
Pass the ball.
Yang Jian got a mid-level elixir in a lottery, which can guarantee a person's youth for five years. No one can use it for the time being, so he has already saved two pills.
The good news is that winning the All-Star Game MVP for the fourth time is a milestone. This means that any time he gets this honor later will be a milestone.
Iverson also provided a point, and his first All-Star Game MVP was robbed. Unless Yang Jian misses the All-Star Game, the Eastern Conference players will probably never get the MVP, and the Eastern Conference team will not win.
After the game, the media reported the game. Many fans of the Eastern Conference teams felt sad for their idol. Yang Jian suppressed the stars of the same period so hard that many people will always live in his shadow.
Jordan did not have such a strong dominance back then. In the first six years of his debut, Jordan was suppressed. Yang Jian is also in his sixth season of his career and seems to have no opponent.
President David Stern couldn't think of a way to suppress Yang Jian, unless the referee blatantly blew the whistle. The scary thing about Yang Jian is his ability to lead the team, he can bring out "ordinary teammates".
The group of rookies from the SuperSonics were mediocre before they joined the team. They were not even lottery picks, and there were even some undrafted players that no team wanted. They played with Yang Jian for two years, but they became qualified role players and even
Quasi-star.
The top four shooting guards in the United States that the league wants to promote now are obviously not the same level of stars as Yang Jian.
The league must also promote local new stars. Only when local stars become more popular can they attract big-name players from the free market to join their teams and join forces to fight against the Sonics.
The previously pitifully low salary cap restricted the team-building behavior of the stars. If they wanted high salaries, they could only do it one person per city.
The good news is that because of Yang Jian, the NBA's international influence is growing, and the salary cap will increase a lot next season. In the past, each team could only have two players with an annual salary of over 10 million, but now there can be three.
, it depends on whether the bosses are willing to spend money to compete for the championship.
The bad news is that the Sonics can also sign a capable star with a high salary to assist Yang Jian. The league must find a way to prevent stars from joining the Sonics, and things like Barkley joining with a minimum salary to join a team must be eliminated.
.
After the All-Star Game, Yang Jian frequently appeared in entertainment news.
Because Britney didn't go home, she flew back to Seattle with Yang Jian and lived in Yang Jian's home. They were so famous that together they became the star gossip that the media around the world paid attention to.
Unless they use disguise glasses, it is impossible to avoid the paparazzi. Whether in Washington or Seattle, in front of the hotel or in front of the house, there are paparazzi ambush.
If Britney is photographed wearing disguise glasses, there will probably be news the next day saying that Yang Jian has a new girlfriend.
Naomi Watts also added fuel to the fire between the two. She participated in a talk show and was asked by the host about the three music videos she co-produced with Yang Jian and their relationship. Naomi said that she was a non-marriage activist.
The host asked: "Then has he ever proposed to you?"
"He doesn't dare. What if I really agree?" Naomi said bluntly.
She no longer uses "just a good friend" as a perfunctory excuse. Everyone on earth knows that it is a lie to not have friends like them.
On the 21st, Yang Jian and Britney attended the Grammy Awards held in Los Angeles together.
Among the seven nominations, Yang Jian won five of them, including the important award of Album of the Year, becoming the biggest winner of this year's Grammy.
In addition, he also won the best single of the year "you're beautiful", the best pop male singer, the best pop duet "senorita", and the best pop vocal album.
Britney and Yang Jian went on stage to receive the award together and gave an acceptance speech. Britney mainly expressed her feelings. This was her first Grammy trophy. She was so excited that she smiled like a beautiful fool.
Eminem also had a great harvest, and his popularity is second only to Yang Jian.
He won the Best Rap Artist and Best Rap Group/Group respectively for his songs "therealslimshady" and "forgotaboutdre", and the Best Rap Album Award for "themarshallmatherslp".
The trio of Yang Jian's "Legging Timbers" swept the music scene, and their album sales ranked first, third and fourth respectively in the United States.
The second place is the "Super Boy" group, which is not as super as Yang Jian. They have not had a single number one, and their popularity mainly relies on attracting young fans.
To put it bluntly, Superboy is just an idol group, while Yang Jian is a recognized singer-songwriter and a powerful person.
"American Dream" Britney can only rank fourth. Many fans feel that American music is about to enter its historical peak. However, on the contrary, everyone's album sales will go downhill.
It doesn't matter to Yang Jian. He doesn't rely on this to make a living. He has proven himself with two albums, and then occasionally releases singles. He does not pursue records such as the highest album sales in history, and he is not obsessed with Grammys. He has done it
There are no rewards from the system either.
Yang Jian's acceptance speech was similar to last year, focusing on thanking several girlfriends and saying that they are his muses.
Isn't that right? The mv was shot with them.
Yang Jian stole the show that night and turned the awards ceremony into a solo concert, singing three songs in a row during the performance.
He first played the guitar and sang "You're Beautiful", and played the piano and sang "All of Me". The accompaniments of both songs were very simple, which highlighted Yang Jian's voice and singing skills.
His performance is extremely soulful, unlike some singers who sing out loud, and the soundtrack is just noise.
When the audience watching the live broadcast thought Yang Jian's performance was over, Eminem appeared and sang "stan" with him. The live version was different from the one included in the album. Yang Jian accompanied the piano and sang Dido's chorus.
Song.
He imitated Elton John's singing style, and his voice was a magnetic subwoofer. He received a lot of applause as soon as he opened his mouth.
Eminem sang better live than in the studio version, with stronger emotional expression and explosive power, and Yang Jian's piano coordination was just right. The stage was beautifully arranged, with video footage of rain and lightning behind them.
Thunder.
Many singers of the older generation were shocked and secretly sighed that today's young people are really amazing. Yang Jian was still playing basketball yesterday. She didn't have time to practice when she came to Los Angeles, but her performance was still stable.
This is the best proof of his strength, his singing and attacking skills are unbelievable.
After the performance, Yang Jian walked to the center of the stage and hugged Eminem. Many viewers watching the live TV event were reminded of his identity as an NBA superstar. He and Eminem stood nearly a head taller together, and just looking at his image made him look taller than him.
Know who is the elder brother and who is the younger brother.
After the Grammy Awards, North America was full of news about Yang Jian. Not only did he win 5 trophies, he also gave a wonderful performance that could be recorded in the history of the Grammy Awards.
Fans who watched the live broadcast thought he was so awesome, and no one thought he deserved his reputation.
"Twenty years later, some people will mention Yang Jian's performance. He turned the Grammy Awards ceremony into his own personal concert for two consecutive years."
"The media used to say that Grant Hill was a gentleman. The main reason was that he could play the piano. Compared with Yang Jian, Hill's piano skills seemed too amateurish. How did Yang Jian practice? He can improvise."
"Yang Jian is definitely a musical genius who can be compared with Michael Jackson. He wrote all the songs himself and created many classics. The three songs he and Naomi performed should all have won awards. They didn't sing consecutively because he sang
There are too many.”
"I think the best rock song should also be the one by Yang Jian and Britney. The song that won the award is not good at all unless the lyrics and conception are mentioned."
"Yang said he won't release an album in the future. Who is going to persuade him? How can such a talented person not continue writing songs? If he comes up with a song, it feels better than anyone else's."
