Learning in the NBA can make you a god

Chapter 70 The First Round of All-Star Voting
"Li, the All-Star voting is about to start? You must help me get votes. I think you will be able to help me get a lot of votes. The TV station will come over later. Don't forget to help me get votes." Gasol thought Let Li Tian help him solicit votes. He knows that there are many people in Tianchao, otherwise Yao Ming would not be the All-Star starter every year.

"Paul, I advise you to give up. That idiot is a frequent starter, and your chances are not great." Li Tian knew that Duncan had been an All-Star starting power forward for more than ten years, and Gasol had no chance.

"That's why I asked you to help me solicit votes, just to try it out and see if there is a chance." Gasol looked at Li Tian flatteringly.

"Okay, give me your promotional video and post it on Twitter for you." Li Tian asked Gasol for a promotional video, otherwise he couldn't help him promote it.

Gasol has entered the All-Star several times, all off the bench, and has never been a starter.

It’s really hard to say whether he can be an All-Star. He has skills and strength, but he has been in the Grizzlies for so many years. Fans in Memphis will definitely vote for him, but other fans may not be sure. Memphis is just a small city. .

Regardless of record, style of play, statistics and honors, there is a huge gap between Gasol and Duncan, and it is impossible to become an All-Star starter.

Li Tian didn't want to hit Gasol, so he agreed to help canvass.

"Li, aren't you canvassing for yourself?"

"For me, I can't be an All-Star, why canvass for votes?" As for himself, Li Tian knows that he has too few appearances and has no chance to become an All-Star.

Since Yao Ming landed in the NBA in the first year, with a huge advantage, he successfully rubbed the 'big shark' on the ground, forcing the league to revise the voting rules.

"Hi everyone, I'm Li Tian. I'm here to canvass for Gasol's All-Stars. I hope everyone will support Gasol." Li Tian also attached Gasol's promotional video.

I saw Li Tian sending a canvassing message.

"Can't support Brother Tian, ​​we vote for Gasol."

"+1, I also vote."

The majority of netizens are also very sorry, because the number of appearances of Li Tian has been limited, and he was unable to participate in the All-Star voting.

However, he still participated in the voting for the rookie competition, and Stern specifically indicated that Li Tian could participate in the rookie competition.

When Yao Ming participated in the All-Star Game for the first time, the live broadcast ratings of the All-Star Game that year set a new record, and the NBA quickly opened up the Chinese market.

It has played an indelible role in the promotion of the NBA in China.

It is hoped that there will be three Chinese players in the All-Star Game this year. How could Stern be willing to give up such a good publicity opportunity.

Yi Jianlian's performance shocked everyone, and he is very likely to be selected as an All-Star.

"Li, are you ready to participate in other All-Star competitions? This is an opportunity to attract the attention of countless girls, so don't miss it." Gasol knew that Li Tian's participation in the Rookie Challenge was a sure thing. There is no hope, and other events can also be used to attract some fans and lay a solid foundation for becoming an All-Star in the future.

Li Tian just wanted to train, and didn't have much expectation for participating in these competitions. "The three-pointer contest is good, you can consider it." Then I began to consider whether to participate in the three-pointer contest.

"Li, you can participate. If you participate in the three-point contest, it will remind me of Larry Bird." Gasol trusts Li Tian's three-pointer.

Larry Bird is a legend in the NBA. When he was in the 1986 All-Star Three-Point Contest, the best pitchers in the league gathered together to compete by one point.

When everyone was gearing up to compete for the championship, Bird said domineeringly to everyone: "Are you ready for who will take the second place?" One sentence extinguished everyone's arrogance.

Afterwards, Bird wore the training uniform and easily won the championship of the three-point shooting contest, which left everyone speechless, but infinitely impressed, and this famous saying has been left since then.

"Paul, just to say this to you, I must also participate in the three-point shooting contest, and I will also go up and talk about it, will I become the next legend?" Li Tian asked Gasol back.

"Of course we will, we all support you." Conley also stood up to support Li Tian.

……

After a wonderful Christmas break.

The Grizzlies' first game after Christmas will be on December 12, at home against the New Orleans Hornets.

Sure enough, the Grizzlies lost to the Hornets led by Paul again.

At this time, Paul is still very strong, not only in the organization of the team's offense, but also a great threat on the offensive end.

Paul, who broke out, is terrible. It is not uncommon to score 40 points in several consecutive games. Paul's average data per game is 20+10 players.

Paul broke out in this game, not only broke out himself, but also took his teammates away.

Paul scored 40 points, 9 assists and 5 rebounds.

The main players of the Grizzlies had no touch, and Gasol had very few shots. He only scored 8 points in the game, which was not as good as Li Tian, ​​who came off the bench, scored 15 points.

The Grizzlies came off the bench and sang. Lowry, Warrick, and Navarro all scored more than 10 points, but they still lost to the Hornets by 18 points.

Immediately afterwards, he lost the derby with Yao Ming to the Mosaic team again, and was then severely taught by a bunch of old men's Spurs.

It was another two consecutive 20-point defeats, and the Grizzlies ushered in another wave of three-game losing streak.

The Grizzlies are now a team that everyone can play. Anyone who sees the Grizzlies is like seeing a baby with experience, and can't wait to hug the Grizzlies and kiss them.

"Hey, I've been getting more and more depressed recently, so tired." Lowry couldn't help complaining on the way out of the Spurs Arena.

The only one who doesn't complain is Conley, because he finally made his debut against the Spurs.

"Damn it, keep losing, I have forgotten what it means to win." Gasol also hated losing, and began to miss the time when he first came to the Grizzlies.

He also led the team to break the team's best historical record. Many records of the Grizzlies were created by Gasol. It can be said that because of Gasol, the Grizzlies have the opportunity to try the taste of the playoffs.

"Lowry, Paul, don't complain, it's because we are not strong enough. If we are strong enough, we won't keep losing. We have to cheer up." Li Tian didn't want to see his teammates discouraged.

"Yes, we have to become stronger. Complaints are only for the weak. We have to become strong and let others complain." Conley changed his previous complaints once he was able to play.

"Yes, we need to become stronger. Only the strong can gain everything. The weak will only complain. We must be strong and not weak. We must become stronger."

Lowry feels that the current Grizzlies seem to be supported by a group of rookies.Looking back at Li Tian, ​​"Li, I've made a decision. Remember to call me when you train tomorrow, and I will train with you too."

"Lorry, aren't you afraid of ghosts at three o'clock in the morning?" Li Tian looked at Lowry with a smile.

"Um...can't we be at 5 o'clock in the morning? Can't we change the time? You can train later and don't wake up so early." Thinking about it at three o'clock in the morning, Lowry was a little scared.

"Well, I'll listen to you. Let's train together at 5 o'clock in the morning." Li Tian also wants to train with someone, so the effect will be much better, and he doesn't have to work alone behind closed doors.
