Las Vegas is a strange attraction. People who come to the United States for the first time may not know Boston and Philadelphia other than Los Angeles and New York, but they must know and yearn for Las Vegas.

In addition to the title of the world's number one gambling city, the pervasive American culture has already rendered this place into a grotesque, colorful, and sleepless city that is about to move.

Huge and unimaginable number of casinos decorate the facade of Las Vegas, sightseeing helicopters are always cruising in the sky, and the huge light boxes that never go out make the main street full of casinos full of temptations.

It was already evening when Keyan and his party arrived in Las Vegas.Go to the hotel to pack your bags and take a rest. The night world of feasting and feasting has just kicked off.

The rainbow lights of the whole city are all lit up, and the neon lights are ever-changing, which can be described as colorful and colorful.

When you are indoors, you may not have any special feeling, at most, you feel that the lights are bright, which makes the gorgeous decoration even more resplendent.

But when I went out to the street and saw the surrounding scene, I found that the tall buildings were emitting colorful lights.The night seemed to turn into day, and the rainbow lights were like countless stars in the sky, red for a while, green for a while, half purple and half yellow for a while, like rainbows and flowers, with endless changes in shape and ups and downs. People are dazzled and lost in this bustling night.

Activities similar to garden fairs are held once or twice a week in Los Angeles, but there are various tricks every day in Las Vegas.I saw all kinds of shows and casino buildings of various styles.Wang Lifan and Ke Yan simultaneously thought of their first meeting, which was also under such circumstances.

It has been more than two years in a flash, and the relationship between the two has also made rapid progress. The only thing that remains the same is that no matter then or now, both of them have a big light bulb beside them!

Seeing the magic of the casino, Huo Qingshu was so excited that he completely forgot that he was still sad about "leaving his hometown for the Spring Festival" on the plane.

But after playing for a while, Huo Qingshu felt a little bit worried about money. You really have to be careful with your wallet here, slot machines can be seen everywhere are waiting to swallow your green bills.You know, this is just foreplay, and you haven't entered the casino yet!

Finally, the three of them walked to the famous music fountain and stopped to watch the bohemian performance.

This is the largest music fountain in the world, the beautiful scenery and the wonderful performance made the three people who were late all night stop and watch for a while.

The three of them stood under the air vent, with water mist spraying on their bodies from time to time, Huo Qingshu shivered, feeling a little cold in his body.Seeing this, Ke Yan took off his coat and asked Wang Lifan to help her put it on.

Putting on his coat, Huo Qingshu felt a little embarrassed, took a peek at Ke Yan, and said with a smile, "Thank you, Ke Yan, I'm really happy today!"

Ke Yan smiled and said, "Are you all tired?"

"A little bit. Shall we go back?" Wang Lifan looked at Huo Qingshu and replied after confirming with his eyes.

"Ah."

.

.

After Valentine's Day, starting from February 2th, Ke Yan's time is not entirely his own.Various photo-taking activities and interviews are arranged very tightly. The league organizes the All-Star Weekend mainly to expand its influence and promote the NBA. It is not really for the stars to enjoy the holiday!

As the most popular and most topical coach in the league, and catching up with the traditional Chinese New Year, Ke Yan is even as busy as those All-Star players.

Ke Yan accepted an exclusive interview with a reporter from Huaxia. One was to promote the NBA All-Star Game, and the other was to send New Year greetings to the people of the whole country!

"This is the first time I have the opportunity to participate in the All-Star Game. This kind of game is very special. I don't need to arrange complicated tactics. I just need to enjoy a visual feast at close range. This should be a rare experience in my coaching career." Experience opportunity." Ke Yan said.

"Do you care about the outcome of the game?" the reporter asked.

"I have been winning recently, and I am very lucky. If you want to preserve your character and lose a game, then lose this game, haha~" Ke Yan joked.

"It's not like what your scientist said." The reporter said seriously.

"???" Ke Yan put on a surprised expression, "pointed" at the other party, "You.

.

.

Are you teaching me how to do things? "

On the night of the 15th, it was the "Celebrity Game" performance held by the NBA to expand its influence. Except for some retired NBA players, Ke Yan didn't know other "celebrities". "Vegetable chickens pecking at each other", Ke Yan did not watch the battle live, but took Wang Lifan and Huo Qingshu to the Caesars Casino to throw coins.

"Sir, what service do you want?" After entering the casino, the waiter stepped forward and asked.

"Exchange the chips, thank you." Ke Yan signed a check for 10 US dollars and said.

"Please wait."

Wang Lifan clicked his tongue: "We're just playing around, why do you exchange so much?"

Ke Yan smiled, held her small face and kissed her: "It's not necessarily a loss."

Huo Qingshu also persuaded from the side: "Everyone has this kind of thinking before entering the casino, that's why they fell into it."

"OK, so you have to supervise me~" Ke Yan took the chips from the waiter and gave Huo Qingshu a dozen.However, Huo Qingshu was nervous and refused to accept it, and only took two small chips.

"Let's not go to the VIP room, but play the slot machine in the lobby." Ke Yan once again expressed his favor to Wang Lifan.

Wang Lifan sighed and emphasized: "Only this once, never again!"

Speaking of it, Ke Yan can be considered a "wonder at a young age". He has the ability to be a coach and has a reputation far and wide;But no matter how rich you are, you are vulnerable to gambling.Wang Lifan felt that he had to pull Ke Yan back from the wrong path.

"Just this time, I will never come to Las Vegas again~"

"It's almost there."

Slot machines, blackjack, Texas Hold'em, Ke Yan played very relaxed, and it didn't count as cards or anything. If you lose, you lose.

In his own words, it is already very nerve-racking to lead the team to play games, fight with Popovich, D'Antoni, Sanders, and Avery Johnson.So when he came to the casino, he really didn't want to spend all his time counting cards, he just wanted to play with luck and play casually.

"Hey, Boss~, Never!" Ke Yan used the method of "throwing coins" to relieve the pressure. He didn't expect to meet acquaintances in the casino. Daniel Gibson also came to the casino, and a plump woman was beside him. Right now, he is looking at Keyan with great interest.

"Daniel, are you here to relax too?" Ke Yan raised his head and looked at Gibson, good guy, he has exchanged much more chips than himself!

He is a second-round pick, where did he get so much money?

"Don't worry, I won't stay here until after two o'clock~" Daniel Gibson said cheerfully.

This is also the rule set by Ke Yan in the Eagles. He is not allowed to play after two o'clock at night, otherwise he will not be able to play the next day!

"Ah."

"This is Kohler, a member of the Kardashian family." Gibson said to Ke Yan in a showy tone.

"!

! "Hearing these thunderous three words, Ke Yan's heart sank.

It's over!Gibson is gone!

"Hello, Mr. Earl." Kohler looked at Ke Yan with a smile, and offered his hand.

"Hello." Ke Yan didn't even look up, with the image of a gambler who was concentrating on the game, he stretched out his fist and bumped Kohler.

The three words Kardashian are too lethal, so Ke Yan can't help but not be afraid.

Wang Lifan beside him pouted, very satisfied with Ke Yan's actions.

Strong sense of boundaries, full of desire to survive!

On the way back to the hotel, Ke Yan called to notify Hamblen, who was in charge of training in the team, and then focused on Gibson's training. If there was any serious training or weak legs, he would report to him immediately.

Others don't know the situation, but Ke Yan knows that the woman of the Kardashian family is a DPOY-level celebrity in the NBA.

Players hooked up by their family will most likely decline, so that netizens commented on them as "toxic in 13".

From a scientific point of view, their 13 li should be non-toxic.But their extremely unhealthy lifestyle is very harmful to professional players!When you are close to the women of the Kardashian family, you have to spend your time on eating, drinking, dressing up, and participating in various banquet activities. In this way, you spend less time on basketball; So come two more rounds.For these beasts with perverted physical fitness, indulgence is nothing, but singing every night is very harmful.If you come and go, can you not slide down?

Gibson obeyed the rules set by Ke Yan, and got stuck in Caesars Casino before two o'clock, but he didn't know that he was already on Ke Yan's watch list!

On the night of February 2th, the Rookie Tournament started first.As always, the Sophomores came out on top with an easy win.

Since the All-Star Weekend and the All-Star Weekend, the first-year team has never won the second-year team.Although Paul, who will participate in the Skills Challenge and the All-Star Game, missed the rookie game, Deron Williams and David Lee still led the second-year team to firmly suppress the first-year team.In the whole game, David Lee scored 26 points and 9 rebounds, and won the MVP of the rookie game.

Flies with short legs are also meat!For a player of David Lee's level, it is not easy to get some personal honors!Ke Yan, who was watching the game from the sidelines, also encouraged David Lee after the game.

When I came to Minnesota, I could better understand the gap between Casey’s coaching staff and Ke Yan, and learned about Ke Yan’s help to him. David Lee felt less resentment and more respect for Ke Yan.

Gibson, who had been up for most of the night, played on behalf of the first-year team, played 22 minutes, made 7 of 4 shots, 4 of 2 three-pointers, and scored 10 points.The performance is quite satisfactory, and the efficiency is not bad, but after all, the degree of confrontation in the game is limited, and there is not much reference value.

On Saturday, in the mixed shooting competition, the trio of Sun Marion, Tauris and Dan Marier took a total of 31 seconds to complete the game, won the crown and took away the $3 prize money.

The second event, the skill challenge, may be the single event with the highest star quality in history. Four future "75 members" Kobe, James, Paul, and Wade participated in the competition.

In terms of player types, in addition to Paul, the other three are actually more suitable to participate in the dunk contest.Because of this, as the only pure point guard player among the four, Paul should have been the favorite to win the championship, but perhaps because the other two of the Banana Boat Brothers have lost their hands in the past few days, Paul became so hot , sent a score of 36.9 seconds, ranked first from the bottom, and was directly out!

Kobe Bryant overestimated himself when he participated in the Skills Challenge for the first time. His time of 35.8 seconds was also a bit dismal. He watched James and Wade advance to the final. The final became a civil war between the banana boat brothers James and Wade!

James VS Wade, the two are both representatives of the 03 golden generation, and they are also good brothers in private.They are also talented, one is fierce and unparalleled, the sustained acceleration ability is the first in the league, and the impact force when running is like a speeding truck; The army took the general's head from it!The duel between these two people will definitely be exciting.

.

.

Right?

Wade, who took the lead, showed his underestimated sense of the ball, shooting and passing the ball with ease, and completed the game in just 27.8 seconds.

And James, who appeared later, may have been affected by Wade's performance, and his performance was abnormal. He made three mistakes in a row on the second ground pass point. He lost the chance to win the championship early and watched his good brother Wade reach the top.

It's a pity that there is no scoring for the Skills Challenge, otherwise Ke Yan would give him 9 points every minute.

In addition to the "Skills Challenge", this year's three-point shooting competition is also star-studded. Nowitzki, Arenas, and Joe Johnson, three all-stars in the main game, all participated in this year's three-point shooting competition.

Joe Johnson, who played on behalf of the Eagles, scored 20 points in the preliminaries and entered the final together with Nowitzki and Arenas; "Points" only hit one color ball. Although a total of 5 basketballs were hit, the performance was not bad, but only 2 points were scored, basically missing the possibility of the championship.

Also hit 25 of the 16 balls, Nowitzki hit all five suits, scored 21 points, beat Joe Johnson and Arenas, and won the three-pointer.

Today's last event is the slam dunk contest with the highest review rate. In addition to the last dunk king Nate Robinson, this year's dunk contest also includes Warcraft Howard Howard, Nine-Finger God Beggar Gerald Green, and JR Smith of the Nerve Knife. It's a very high level.

The game started, and the first player to play was JR Smith.

JR is a very talented player. His physical fitness is not inferior to Kobe. He is also 198cm tall. He is even more accurate than Kobe in three-pointers. The highest achievement in his career is only the best sixth man.The fans' highest evaluation of him is also very objective, "JR is not nervous, and he is an All-Star every year!"

And he himself is also a dunk general of the actual combat school. In actual combat, he often shocks everyone with flashes of inspiration, but performing on the stage of the dunk contest is not what he is good at.A back-handed dunk went in.This action is not new now. The tastes of the judges have been spoiled by Carter and Josh Smith. They gave 9 points and 8 points respectively, with a total score of 43 points. Even the reaction of the audience is relatively average.

Howard, who was the second to appear on the stage, chose a very simple move, an unremarkable and powerful dunk, which made the fans puzzled for a moment.

That's it?That's it!

It wasn't until the on-site director focused the camera on the backboard that the fans at the scene saw the mystery of Howard's action. He posted a photo of himself on the backboard!

Leaving aside the difficulty, this idea is a plus in the first place!And Howard's giggling appearance gave him a good impression. Of the five judges, two scored 10 points, one scored 9 points, and two scored 8 points. The total score was 45 points, which showed that the judges were quite satisfied with this dunk. !

Gerald Green, who played third, is seen as a favorite to challenge Nate Robinson.His first move was a difficult bottom line crotch change plus a backhand dunk!This movement is very elegant and powerful, and it is much more exciting than the first dunk of others. The judges unanimously gave full marks.

Nate Robinson, who played in the finale, also had reservations. He started from the bottom line, his hands drooped, he turned over and dunked, and he succeeded once.The power of the ball and the height of the flight are good, but there is nothing new, and only 45 points were scored.

After the first round, Gerald Green won a 5-point lead for himself, and the promotion is in sight!

In the second round, JR played first. This time he asked the Nuggets mascot "Rocky Lion" to cooperate. The latter bounced the ball off the ground. Smith made an alley-oop half turn and dunked successfully, scoring only 45 points.

Difficult, uncreative, and mediocre in visual effects, JR is still suitable for showing his slam dunk talent in actual combat.

Warcraft Howard appeared on the stage, holding two basketballs in his hands, and challenged the achievement of one take-off and two slam dunks. The fans were ignited by this idea, and the judges in the field also got up to watch Howard's performance.

Under heavy pressure, Howard's first attempt was 90% successful. After the first ball was dunked steadily into the basket, the second ball was a bit unsustainable, basically half-dunk and half-throw the ball into the basket basket.However, the audience was very satisfied with the idea of ​​Howard's ball, and the audience applauded.

The fans applauded thunderously, and the judges followed the public opinion and gave it a perfect score of 50 points.In this way, Howard scored 95 points, and the probability of making it to the finals is pretty sure!

Gerald Green made his third debut, cutting in from the left wing, jumping from the penalty area line, dunking heavily with a big windmill on his left hand, scoring 46 points, with a total of 96 points, and was the first to secure a seat in the finals.

The take-off height is astonishing, the movements are stretched, and the completion is perfect.From Ke Yan's point of view, Gerald Green is the most powerful slam dunk champion after Carter. He only won one slam dunk champion in his peak period. It is purely because the league pays more attention to gimmicks than strength. Howard put on a superman suit and made a lot of gimmicks. When it came to Griffin's speeding championship, there was no need to compare. Everyone showed their faces and then presented the award to Griffin.

Nate Robinson was a little overwhelmed in the first round, putting himself in a passive position.The second round of action was mindless and difficult. He started running to the basket from the baseline, changed hands under the crotch, and dunked with a backhand with both hands.The difficulty of the movement is fine, but it took him four times to complete the movement. No matter how much the audience supported him, the judges only gave him 45 points.

After the preliminaries, Howard and Gerald Green advanced to the finals!

In the final, Howard played first.

He dribbled from the baseline, rushed to the basket, and completed a reverse folding dunk.

The ball was extremely difficult, but the visual effect was "average". Three judges gave it 9 points, and the final score was 47 points.

It was Gerald Green's turn to perform. He rushed into the basket from the right wing, made a reverse turn and 360-degree left-hand dunk, similar to Carter's classic action, and scored 50 points.

For the last dunk, Howard asked his good brother Josh Smith to help. The latter threw the ball to the backboard. Howard caught the ball in the air to complete a small windmill and smashed the ball into the basket.

The difficulty of this ball is average, and the focus is not on dunking, but on the fact that the partner is Josh Smith, who is known as the "third-generation dunk king", and his "feeling points" are full.It's like whoever participates in the slam dunk contest can invite Carter or Jordan to help out, and there will be 10 more points out of thin air. This is not a joke.

Howard played the "feelings" card, and Gerald Green made full use of the elements of the "Las Vegas" casino. He asked someone to move a gaming table and completed the windmill flying over the gaming table. Dunk, which means "fly over Las Vegas", pays tribute to this casino!

Compared with Howard's "blunt", Gerald Green's tribute is obviously more advanced. This kind of creativity closely connected with the venue was unanimously recognized by the audience, and finally scored the second 50 points.With 3 outstanding performances of "50 points", he won the slam dunk king!

The NBA has always hoped to add an NBA team to Las Vegas. This year's All-Star Game is held in Las Vegas. In a sense, it also undertakes the important task of expanding the boundaries of the NBA. It can be regarded as the most prestigious session in history, and many big-name players are willing to participate, making the game exciting and interesting.

On the morning of the 18th, the Eastern All-Star team practiced. Looking at James, Howard, and Wade standing in a row in front of him, Ke Yan felt a little sense of accomplishment.

I have never fought such a rich battle in eight lifetimes!

There is no secondary attack, the whole mother's main attack!

fire!

In just one training session, there is no such thing as designing any complicated tactics. Ke Yan focused on the up-line flanking defense system with Garnett and Howard as the core, and stated that he would use this set of tactics at a certain period of time in the game. Beat the Western Conference All-Stars by surprise.

In the Eagles, it was Joe Johnson, Battier, and Stevens who implemented this defensive tactic; but when it came to the Eastern Stars, it became James, Wade, and Carter.

.

.

The pressure suddenly increased by more than two levels!

In fact, for these talented "beasts", this set of tactics is practical!

In the Beijing Olympic Games in 08, the old coach K used this set of tactics. Before the finals, he crushed all the way, and defeated all opponents!Only the Spanish team is dead standing.Compared with the Dream Six and Dream Seven teams that were suffocated by European teams before, this set of online flanking and quick counterattack tactics avoids the weakness of the US team's inside line, and fully utilizes the physical fitness and athletic ability of NBA players compared to international players. Player's Dimensionality Reduction Strike.

Tactically marginalized, O'Neal started to be funny during free training, pulling James Howard to dance in turns, which made the audience and reporters laugh out loud. smile.
