Chapter 312. 312. Online Selection of Teammates
After serious thinking at home for a long time, Li Cha made a certain screening of his teammates, and made a general mental preparation for the ones he needed and the ones he definitely didn't want.
On the evening of February 2th, the All-Star Online Group officially broadcast live.
Last year's All-Star group James and Curry completed it offline, which disappointed many fans who wanted to know the situation first.
This year, TNT seized this opportunity and cooperated with the NBA to grab the live broadcast rights ahead of ESPN.
TNT will connect the two captains in the live broadcast, allowing the two captains to choose their own team members in front of audiences all over the country and even the world, so that everyone can feel the pressure of the game and psychology.
To put it bluntly, it is to make a lot of money. After all, this gimmick has been played out by the alliance, and this will be a long-term meal ticket in the future.
After successfully connecting to the live broadcast, Li Cha was still a little nervous.
after all……
Um?What the hell is there are basically no audience on the live broadcast?
Is it so easy to prepare?
After the video connection, what Li Cha faced was only two screens, one was Antetokounmpo's big head, and the other was the two hosts and a guest at the live broadcast.
One of the hosts was standing in the center of the stage, holding a microphone in his hand and chatting endlessly, while the other was sitting behind the curved commentary table with the female guest, interjecting from time to time.
Since you can't see the audience, the tension is much less, it's just a video chat.
Antetokounmpo looked obviously more nervous than himself.
However, both parties are often interviewed, and there is no problem in controlling their expressions without facing a large audience.
"Everyone knows that this year's All-Stars will still be conducted according to the captain selection system. Today we invited the captains of the two teams to select players during the connection. Welcome Li~~! Welcome Giannis Adetobalabara..."
Does the host also think Antetokounmpo's name is too long?
This made Antetokounmpo's expression a little ugly.
When Li Cha called his name, he stepped back and waved.
Luo Xi was sitting next to him with his fists clenched in front of his chest, more nervous than himself.
However, there is no Luo Xi in the connection screen, and there are TNT staff at home to ensure that the connection is normal, and they will appease Luo Xi.
Luo Xi also asked for leave to go home to accompany her, but it turned out that school hadn't started yet, so the leave was for nothing.
"The starting ten players, except for the two captains, are familiar to everyone, including LeBron James, Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant, Anthony Davis, Kawhi Leonard, Joel Embiid, Kyrie Irving and Kemba Walker. Let the two captains think about it. How about asking the two captains to say hello to each other?"
The host brought the atmosphere of the show to a climax, so he wouldn't start selecting candidates so simply.
This is the time for two people to trash talk each other.
"Li? You come first." Li Cha was the top voter this year, so Li Cha should be given priority no matter what.
"It's an honor for me to be the captain of the All-Star, but the opponent is Giannis, so I don't think there is any pressure." Before the show started, the staff had already explained that it was necessary to intentionally jump up the opponent's emotions, and that they had communicated in advance, so they could speak unscrupulously.
Unexpectedly, Antetokounmpo was much more serious than Li Cha, and his expression was obviously much weirder when he heard these words.
"Li, even if you have the right to choose first, I can easily defeat you by selecting people!" Antetokounmpo said angrily.
Antetokounmpo, who lacks variety show skills, made the host a little dumbfounded, but this also made the scene more gunpowder, and the effect was achieved.
"Haha, don't worry, you two, we are about to start choosing. I believe that choosing teammates this time will give you more experience, how difficult it is to form a good team."
"The starting player is Li Xian's choice." The host gave an order, and the list of eight starting All-Stars was displayed on the screen.
Of course, Li Cha couldn't see these lists. He had another printed list in his hand.
Li Cha looked at the list in his hand very seriously, showing a thoughtful expression.
Who should I choose?Needless to say, well, the first round must be James and Durant!
All-stars are good-looking, and they rely more on some gorgeous moves and skills. Players like Curry Irving almost use their skills in actual combat, and there will be no greater breakthroughs during the All-Stars.And strikers rarely have a chance to perform brilliantly. In addition, these two are the main candidates for No. 1 in active service, and it is impossible to choose others.
Although the host wanted the tense effect of the variety show, he didn't expect Li Cha to play too much, and could only answer awkwardly, "Li once said that he..."
Before he finished speaking, Li Cha started, "LeBron!"
I said in front of the media that I will definitely choose James when I am the captain, so I must fulfill my promise.
Of course, it also has something to do with not liking Durant that much.
"KD!" Antetokounmpo made his choice without hesitation after Li Cha's voice fell.
The host didn't have a chance to hype it up, and only announced with speechless excitement, "Lee first chose LeBron James, and Giannis chose Kevin Durant. These are both excellent choices!"
Li Cha rolled his eyes speechlessly, this can be made up, isn't it obvious?
"Giannis, you really need a few players who can shoot the ball to help you." Li Cha made a sarcasm to help the show hype the contradictions.
Antetokounmpo's performance during the season is indeed that he will only break through the basket and end, and his mid-range and long-range shots are all scum.
It was impossible for the host to say such things, and only Li Cha would say such things if he agreed to the show crew.
Antetokounmpo wrinkled his nose.
Before Antetokounmpo could speak, Li Cha quickly chose his second player, "Stephen."
James and himself are both mid-range and basket-type players. There must also be one long-range shot. Who would choose Curry instead of Leonard. Leonard is too practical to play in exhibition games.
Antetokounmpo was obviously disturbed for a while. If he chose Leonard at this time, he would have too many strikers. If Leonard is selected and Irving is also selected, there will be no backcourt players at all. This is an unreasonable lineup.
And Li Cha himself can swing forward and guard, and there is no problem reaching the third position. Antetokounmpo is very passive.
Although he subconsciously forgot about Walker.
"Kyrie." After thinking for a long time, Antetokounmpo finally gritted his teeth and chose Irving. It is intolerable to have no guard in the starting lineup.
"The second round of the two..."
"AD!" Li Cha didn't wait for the host to speak, and immediately selected the players.
Resolutely don't give Antetokounmpo a chance to breathe, let him make choices in a hurry, and then make mistakes.
Sure enough, Antetokounmpo stagnated again. Of the remaining Embiid, Leonard and Walker, Leonard is stronger in terms of strength, but in this case, he may face a situation without a center. Although he can also play a center, it is too tiring to be the captain.
"Joel." After thinking about it, Antetokounmpo finally chose Embiid as his center, so that the team would appear more balanced.
"So...do I choose Kawaii or Kemba?" When there was no suspenseful choice, Li Cha deliberately left suspense, making everyone look forward to it.
From any point of view, regardless of team configuration or strength, Li Cha should choose Leonard. In this way, Davis center, James power forward, Leonard small forward, Li Cha shooting guard, and Curry point guard are a perfect lineup.
If Walker is chosen, Li Cha will be pushed to small forward, and Walker or Curry would be awkward to play shooting guard.
But Li Cha put on a embarrassed look, making everyone think that Li Cha would not necessarily choose Leonard.
If Li Cha chooses Walker, Antetokounmpo will still face not enough guards available, and Leonard is not a good choice to play shooting guard.
This can completely kill one thousand enemies and damage eight hundred.
Li Cha whetted his appetite.
Even the host didn't know how to answer the call.
After thinking about it for about a minute, Li Cha finally decided on his teammate when everyone started to feel uneasy.
"OK. I still have to make my own decision. For the team to play better, my final choice is..."
Continue to use the usual routine in Huaxia Variety Show, and delay the announcement to re-mobilize the audience's emotions.
"Kawaii Leonard." Li Cha pretended to be deep, as if choosing Leonard was such a difficult decision.
A player who can be ranked in the top five in the league was placed in the final round to be selected, and the object of selection was Walker. If Leonard was on the scene, he would probably spit out a mouthful of old blood.
If you are watching the live broadcast now, you will probably spit out a mouthful of old blood.
And Walker, the weakest of the ten All-Star starters, suddenly felt enough attention, even comparable to Leonard.
It made Antetokounmpo feel relieved when he was forced to choose Walker, and felt that he had made a profit.
The host was even more dazed, his own studio was prepared for nothing, and the effect of the variety show was not as good as Li Cha's own.
"Ahem..." Cleared his throat, the host still had to play the role of connecting the programs.
"According to the selection of the two captains, we have already got the starting list of the two teams."
"Team Lee: Li Cha, LeBron James, Stephen Curry, Anthony Davis and Kawhi Leonard. It's a very balanced and strong team."
"Team Giannis: Giannis Antetokounmpo, Kevin Durant, Joel Embiid, Kyrie Irving and Kemba Walker. This team is also very strong."
"The All-Star Game is worth looking forward to!"
It's actually pretty much an east-west split, except Durant and Leonard have switched.
"Let's continue to divide the substitute players into teams!" The host announced with a loud voice.
