The man is in Philadelphia and just got off the plane.

After just meeting, Li Ang was surrounded by a bunch of reporters and asked him crazily about the dunk contest.

Li Ang was convinced, you are extraordinary, yes, ask every day!

Stern, the old man, deliberately leaked information to the reporters. Now, he doesn't need to put pressure on him, and the reporters will also put pressure on Li Ang.

It's like urging updates.

"I'm still thinking, I'm still thinking!"

Li Ang escaped from the crowd. For a moment, he really wanted to agree to participate. He would be over, and at least he would not have to be annoyed by reporters every day.

Li Ang broke through the siege and walked into the locker room of the first league center arena. He thought his ears would finally be quiet, but he received a call from his agent Butter Stern.

"Wrong, isn't it said that you won't endorse sports protective products?"

Li Ang was really convinced. Who would endorse that thing if you were serious?

I, Lao Li, have a long-lasting thing, and I can use publicity? Isn’t that everyone knows!

"No, today I don't talk about sports protective products."

"What are you talking about?"

"Talking about picking up legs!"

"Catch the legs? Whose legs?" Li Ang's head was buzzing. Why did this agent lose his understanding of his words? No matter how cruel I don't care, it seems that I have never done anything like knocking my legs off, right?

At most, knock two ribs.

"Catch Stern's thigh, his leg was broken."

"How did you break it?"

"Jordan retired, suspended last season, and the All-Star ratings were sluggish. The dunk contest was suspended for two years. The revenue situation in the league in the last two seasons is very worrying!"

“Uh, so”

“So, we have to connect this leg for Mr. President!

Participating in the slam dunk contest, increasing popularity, and re-invigorating the All-Stars is a win-win situation.

At that time, the fans' swords will be divided into three to seven points! At that time, the endorsement of sports protective products will be worth a hair on Jiuniu's body!"

Good guy, after talking for a long time, Butterstern also came to persuade Li Ang to participate in the dunk contest.

From the perspective of increasing visibility, participating in this year's slam dunk competition is indeed the best choice.

How can rookie players make the fastest?

Participate in the slam dunk contest!

I don’t know how many unknown rookies in NBA history have become popular through the slam dunk contest.

If Li Ang made a name for himself in the dunk contest, his business value would definitely double directly by then.

Li Ang wiped the sweat from his forehead: "I thought it was a step by step and a meal was ate-by-bit. It wasn't great to participate in the dunk contest as soon as you came up. If you took a big step, you would easily pull the eggs!"

"With your strength, it's not a big deal to participate in such a competition. Think about it, I think this is an opportunity to make you become popular quickly."

After saying that, the toolman Batterstern hung up the phone.

He just proposed, but the decision to participate or not is naturally in Li Ang’s own hands.

Li Ang is not unaware of the weight of this slam dunk contest in 2000. Because Stern himself attaches great importance to it, this slam dunk contest will be widely promoted.

The current dunk contest is not the same level as the 2021 dunk contest that was sandwiched in during the All-Star Game halftime.

As Butterson said, this dunk contest carries the arduous task of saving the event.

Therefore, even ten years later and twenty years later, people will remember the winner of the 2000 slam dunk contest.

As long as you can win, the league will promote you for a lifetime.

Just like Carter, if he didn't have the championship in this dunk contest, he would just be honored by the second team and the third team, do you think he would be so popular?

But the premise of all these dividends is to win the championship!

These dividends are all prepared for the winners.

To put it bluntly, if you can't win the championship, then this is a thankless thing.

Li Ang struggled for a while, but still felt that his chances of winning were not too high. He couldn't have a slid-skimming dunk to amazed the four seats, right?

Forget it, don't worry about the leg contact matter for now.

Now, I'll think about how to get this game done.

It can be seen that Iverson is hostile to the cute dragon.

There can only be one Haonan in Causeway Bay, and there can only be one dark horse in the east, that is Philadelphia 76ers.

When Iverson entered the market today, he was wrapped in a headscarf and a big gold chain. The strong street smell, you can't tell that he was a millionaire.

Although it does not look formal, this kind of dress cannot be said to be a big problem.

People’s personality needs to be shown.

Li Ang also feels that future dressing orders may not be a good thing.

Some people wear formal clothes, and their temperament is really

Why!

Iverson's entry naturally ushered in a flash of news from the reporters. After all, he is the only star in Philadelphia.

After Larry Brown came to Philadelphia, he took away Starkhouse and others, and introduced a bunch of defensive players around Iverson.

This is a team that is completely centered on Iverson, and the spotlight is all on him.

"AI, who do you think the Cute Dragon team will send to defend you today?"

"It's useless for anyone to come, my friend." Iverson nodded with a smile. He wouldn't be polite to his opponent before the game.

"So, is the team listening to you or coach Brown today?"

Hearing this question, Iverson stopped.

He is not invincible either.

"Listen, I know you all want to watch me fall down and watch everything gets messy. But I tell you, don't think about it!"

Iverson walked into the locker room angrily, and he knew that all the contradictions were actually because the team could not win.

Why did Brown explode some time ago? Because until now this season, Iverson played 76ers 4 wins and 7 losses when he was on the court, while AI was absent due to injury, the 76ers 6 wins and 4 losses.

If Iverson can lead the team to win continuously, will Brown still have so many problems?

Iverson also wants to end all these contradictions, and winning is the best way.

This game was filled with murderous spirit before it even started.

When both sides stepped into the stadium, Philadelphia fans were shouting the name of AI.

Larry Brown stood on the sidelines, and the eyes behind the glasses revealed a hint of coldness.

Before the game started, Brown stood in front of everyone and finally reminded him: "Play in the right way!"

Iverson almost laughed disdainfully, you know this every day!

Both sides appeared, and the five tigers on the 76ers were Iverson, Eric Snow, George Lynch, 95 All-Star Tyrone Hill and the three blocking champion Theo Ratliff.

On the bench were also sitting Aaron McGee and Larry Hughes.

The 76ers lineup is actually very good in this era when the Big Three has not yet begun.

Larry Brown has built the team's defense to the extreme.

This team building model of "the whole team focuses on defense + relying on a super scorer on the offensive end" is what Larry Brown has always pursued.

Besides, he may not be able to use it if you give Brown a bunch of scorers.

To put it bluntly, people today rely on defense more than offense.

So sometimes it’s not Iverson’s intentional shot, just this lineup, he gave the ball to others, can others play?

Just Tyrone and Hill are considered the team's No. 2 scorer. He can't play the scorer. You know if he doesn't have this strength.

The competition is about to begin, and Li Ang jumps around and is eager to try.

Ratliff won the first attack for the 76ers, and cheers from Philadelphia fans immediately resounded throughout the audience.

Toolman Elvin Williams is on high alert. The task he gave himself today is to limit Iverson's score to below 25 points!

Then why are you laughing at? Iverson averaged 31 points per game so far this season.

It's already amazing to be able to keep his score below 25.

Elvin kept encouraging himself in his heart, I was the best, I was the best!

No matter how strong Iverson is, can he move instantly? What can’t be defended against?

Fuck him!

At this time, the AI ​​got the basketball outside the three-point line and began to change hands continuously under the crotch.

When he reached a step outside the three-point line, Iverson's entire center of gravity shifted to the left, as if he wanted to break through to the left.

Elvin Williams was very happy, and I predicted Iverson's breakthrough direction!

Sure enough, AI is not a god, and he is not that scary either.

Then the next second

"Swoosh!"
