Chapter 279 Star Among Stars!

"A magical night of championships, Yes makes Las Vegas go crazy!"

“The most perfect personal performance of God’s most perfect work!”

"Yes at full strength! Yes without the ball! Yes at the strongest level! Yes once again dominates the NBA All-Star Game!"

"The duel between the chosen ones, the duel between the destiny, the 2007 NBA All-Stars staged the greatest slam dunk contest in history!"

…………

…………

Looking at the newspapers in his hand, David Stern was so excited that he couldn't contain himself!

first!

For the first time, the NBA All-Star Game has received so much attention!

Even when Jordan was still at the peak of the NBA, it was impossible for an NBA All-Star Game to gain such high attention!

Every time I watch the news about Yes, David Stern has an extremely magical feeling.

Yes seems to have the magical power to attract everyone's attention. He is always so special. Wherever he appears, he can always create magic in that place!

From the very beginning when he tied the world record in marathon, his every move has become the focus of the world.

The American media, the global media, and even the media from all over the world that he worked so hard to collect, there is only one theme at this moment!

Because Yes!

The 2007 NBA All-Star Game seems to have become the biggest focus in the world now!

This is only the second day of the All-Star Game!

All-Star weekend is three days long!

Yesterday was Saturday, and tonight’s All-Star Game is the climax of All-Star Weekend!

David Stern reluctantly put down the pile of newspapers he had read countless times, and his mind was filled with images of the final dunk showdown between James and Yes last night.

Yes!

He will be the one who takes the NBA to the top!

What is the NBA's chosen son!

This is the NBA's chosen one!

As soon as David Stern made a tactical step back and leaned his body on the armchair behind him, the door to his room was pushed open.

"President, last night's ratings are out!"

“The average viewership rating for the Skills Challenge is 11%, the average viewership rating for the Three-Point Contest is 15%, and the average viewership rating for the Slam Dunk Contest is 18%! The peak of last night’s ratings came when Yes’ fifth dunk that surpassed the human limit! The real-time viewership rating is 21%!”

"President, the ratings for the NBA All-Star Game have exceeded 20 for the first time!"

Over twenty? !

Is it really the first time to break 20 during the All-Star Weekend? !

The excited assistant looked at David Stern's dull expression, which was very understandable!

No one knows better than him the efforts the president has made to improve the All-Star Game!

In recent years, many people have criticized the president for hyping up the feud between O'Neal and Kobe every year.

From the Christmas game all the way to the All-Star game.

No matter how thick O'Neal's fat is, it has been drained by the president.

The president doesn't want to exploit O'Neal all the time.

But besides O'Neal, who else can the president exploit?

After Jordan retired, the league entered a spring in which a hundred flowers bloomed.

Without Jordan's dominance, the NBA, where all heroes come together, is a paradise for superstars to rise.

Duncan, O'Neal, Kobe, Garnett, Iverson, Kidd, Nash, etc., their sky is no longer covered by shadows.

Each of them can see the hope of the championship, and each of them seems to be able to touch the final and most sacred trophy.

This is a time of great competition, this is the best era for superstars!

But this is indeed the most painful era in the NBA!

The history of the NBA has long proved that the NBA does not need a world of great competition among the heroes!

Since the commercialization of the NBA, what the NBA needs are high-volume king players who can attract attention!

The NBA needs a king!

A king player with excellent strength, flow and spirit!

No one knows better than the president that the NBA needs kings, because only those with stories can continue to grow.

Only the king player who can dominate the NBA in the end can inspire the fans' craziest enthusiasm and sense of involvement!

The popularity and cohesion that king players bring to the NBA is unimaginable.

But those superstars who had high hopes for the president were disappointed one by one.

O'Neal is the most capable of becoming the king who dominates the NBA, but he does not have the character of a king.

Duncan is the most likely candidate for the king besides O'Neal, but his character is even more hateful than O'Neal's!

Neither O'Neal nor Duncan can shoulder the task of gathering popularity for the NBA.

After O'Neal and Duncan, the president can only focus on Kobe, Iverson, Tracy McGrady and Carter.

These four people can gather popularity and also have outstanding talents and strength.

But these talents and strengths are not enough to dominate the NBA.

In the end, the president could only watch as the popularity of the NBA condensed by Jordan slowly dissipated.

To what extent has it dissipated now?

In terms of the ratings of the NBA Finals, the last few years have been the lowest ratings for the NBA Finals since 1974.

The current NBA is the darkest period in history!

And there is no end in sight for this darkness!

Even LeBron James, who has high hopes, has not changed anything since coming to the NBA.

Until the emergence of Yes, in this darkest period of the NBA, we finally saw the dawn of the future and hope!

The dunk contest's highest viewership rating exceeded 20%!

How significant is this?

This means that the NBA has a chance to come back to life!

How many NCAA fans and casual fans have gathered around Yes now?

This amount is unimaginable.

Hurricane Garfield!

As long as Hurricane Garfield continues to blow, this attention will remain in the NBA!

The president and the league will have enough time to wait for the king who can condense the popularity of the NBA to appear!

This king may be Yes, it may be LeBron James, it may be someone else.

None of this matters.

Yes's Garfield Hurricane is saving the league now!

Now the league is being saved by a rookie!

This is something David Stern never imagined.

But that's the truth!

"President, the All-Star Game tonight?"

All-star game?

David Stern knew exactly what the expectant look on his assistant's face now meant.

Since Yes has raised the popularity of the All-Stars to such a high level, NBA officials can definitely take advantage of the trend.

Now that we know that the All-Stars in the East and West are preparing to suppress Yes, and those viewers who are paying attention to the All-Stars want to see Yes' performance.

Of course, the alliance can come to the rescue of Yes.

Even if those superstars don't give face, the league can let them give 'face' to Yes and the league.

Now that Yes is the NBA's greatest asset, protecting Yes is a matter of course.

"No need to intervene."

David Stern's words surprised aides.

The president was not like this before.

David Stern ignored his assistant's confusion and this was his final decision.

Since Yes entered the NBA, the NBA has undergone many changes.

Some people are slowly adapting to these changes.

Some people are uncomfortable with such changes.

Whether it's adapting to the changes in the NBA or resisting them.

The NBA is indeed getting better because of Yes.

The NBA is getting better and better again!

Could the NBA be getting better and better sooner?

This is a huge temptation!

David Stern really wants to make some drastic changes around Yes.

In the end, David Stern rejected this huge temptation.

He didn't want to make another James mistake.

In the case of James, he has now realized his mistake.

The same chosen son, Yes is only 19 years old and can do almost anything in skills challenge, three-point contest and dunk contest.

And LeBron James is still playing with raw talent!

You know, James is three years older than Yes!

Judging from the performance of the two standing on the court, James seems to be the younger one.

The Chosen One's potential is limitless, and he and the league destroyed James' potential.

If it hadn't been for the intervention of the league, even if James wasn't as omnipotent as Yes, he wouldn't have been able to take two steps away from him like he is now, right?

If the appearance of Yes hadn't made James aware of his vulnerability, the league would have destroyed a chosen one!

"Yes is not as fragile as you think. Don't forget, he is one of the strongest players in the league and he has endless potential!"

David Stern is looking forward to the different surprises that Yes can bring him!

In tonight's All-Star Game, can Yes use his strength to let the fans who follow him see what they want to see?

David Stern is looking forward to it!

On February 18, 2007, the Thomas & Mack Arena was packed at eight o'clock in the evening!

The three-day feast of All-Star Weekend will come to a perfect end tonight!

After the magic of the previous two days, the entire city of Las Vegas is now looking forward to whether tonight's NBA All-Star Game can continue to perform magic!

"In this All-Star Game, Yes has already won the MVP of the Rookie Challenge, the Champion of the Skills Challenge, the Champion of the Three-Point Contest, and the Champion of the Slam Dunk Contest. As long as he wins the MVP of the All-Star Game, Yes will complete the All-Star Game." A grand slam of star honors!”

"Winning the regular season MVP and Finals MVP in a single season is called dominating the NBA for a season. Yes, winning all the All-Star honors in a single season can be called dominating this year's All-Stars, right?!"

Before this year's All-Star Game begins, this is what fans across the United States are looking forward to most!

"The Western Conference All-Stars are starting!"

With a huge roar in the Thomas & Mack Center, five people, Yez, Yao Ming, Kobe, Tracy McGrady, and Duncan, walked out of the elevator!

There was no gorgeous dance or funny moves. The five people raised their right hands to greet the fans at the same time.

And the roar at the scene was almost only one voice!

"Yes! Yes! Yes!"

"Yes! Yes! Yes!"

"Yes! Yes! Yes!"

Kobe just raised his right hand, but McGrady was so frightened by the loud sound that he almost forgot to wave!

What about our cheers? !

Couldn't it be because they didn't have money to buy tickets and were blocked from the arena?

Even Duncan, who had always been paralyzed, was blinking crazily.

Not Kobe, not McGrady?

This feeling is completely different from previous years!

Ye Zi’s popularity is incredible!

This is the star among stars!
