Chapter 88 Before the Christmas War (seeking a monthly ticket)(1/3)

After drinking too much Coke, Lin Xing walked around twice before confirming when he went out to let the water out.

This big bird walks around the bar is just a black bar.

"Damn it, no wonder they are all black girls!"

Xiao Chong is just a black man, and the bar he often goes to is a black man bar, which is understandable.

but……

Lin Xing couldn't say anything about his suffering. If he had said this, he might not be labeled as racial discrimination.

But he is really not racist. It can only be said that most black girls have not grown into his aesthetic taste.

"Next time I won't accept the invitation from my black teammates!"

Lin Xing made up his mind, but for the Warriors, he was the only one of the yellow races, and the only ones were Mulin and Luke Longley.

Langley just arrived, and he was probably not as familiar with the Bay Area as he was.

As for Mullin...

One of the taboos in the Warriors is not to invite Mullin to the bar.

Even, don't call Mullin any off-site activities related to wine.

The reason is that when he was young, Mulin had the bad habit of alcoholism.

Although it has been corrected, Mulin is still participating in the activities of the Muslim aid association until now.

This shows that alcohol is still quite tempting to Mulin and he needs to stay away from it.

For Lin Xing, this warrior is a bit boring.

...

On the third day after returning to the Bay Area, Lin Xing drove to the training hall with an unhappy look on his face and started a day of training.

But as soon as you arrive at the training hall, there will be good news immediately.

"Star, the league sent an invitation letter, hoping that you can participate in this season's All-Star Weekend Dunk Contest."

The team's press officer Peter Russo walked into the training ground with an invitation letter and interrupted Lin Xing's shooting practice.

"Invitation letter to the slam dunk contest?"

Lin Xing was still scratching his head and thinking, and his teammates gathered.

"The league specially invited you to participate in the dunk contest? Wow, Stah, this treatment is a bunker!"

"Yes, yes, I haven't heard that anyone who participated in the dunk contest was invited by the league. Didn't they all sign up for it themselves?"

A group of people expressed their surprise in a lingering manner, and the madman was even more sour:

"My dunk is also pretty good, why don't you invite me?"

At this time, Lin Xing had already thought about it almost.

Should he accept the invitation? Of course he wants it!

Just as these teammates said, the league came to invite him in person, and if he refused, it would be too disgraceful.

Or even if Lin Xing wants to refuse, Nike will not allow it.

Of course, more importantly—

There are trophys in the slam dunk contest, and the trophy is equal to the honor point.

And the slam dunk contest in 1994-

Jordan retired, Dominic Wilkins may still be able to fly, but he has clearly refused. Vince Carter has not entered the league yet, and Zach Lavine has not even been born...

In this situation, even Kobe's short hand can win the dunk king, not to mention Lin Xing, who can touch the upper edge of the rebound.

Who will Lin Xing’s opponent be? He doesn’t know either.

But what he can be sure of is that this slam dunk king trophy is basically a free gift.

He has to get the honor points given for free!

"In addition, the All-Star vote has begun, and Stam, Tim, Chris and Ratreal are all popular candidates for this All-Star class.

So, in the next two months, you will keep mentioning this matter in front of the media and canvassing for yourself.”

Nowadays, there is no Twitter or Facebook. Players want to canvass themselves, but they can only go through the media.

The little cuckold man nodded and said that they would remember the canvassing, but Lin Xing focused on another matter.

"Well, Peter, where is my place to participate in the All-Star vote?"

"Power forward."

"This is not right, I'm obviously a point guard!"

"Ah, are you a point guard?"

"Of course I'm the point guard!"

Although he had a dispute with Peter Russo, to put it bluntly, Russo's words did not count.

The league has the final say on which position to participate in the All-Star Voting.

Moreover, the alliance is not just talking casually, they are supported by big data.

In all the games Lin Xing participated in, his main position was power forward.

Lin Xing was not very happy to have a point guard attend the All-Star weekend as a power forward.

The second is that the competition in the forward position is too fierce.

All-Star Voting, defender, forward and center, each competes.

Because Jordan retired, because Isiah Thomas, Clyde Drexler grew old, and because the new generation of Kidd, Carter, Iverson and others have not yet entered the league.

The competition in the defender position can be said to be pitiful.

Take the West for example, the starting lineup competition for defenders is-

Drexler, a glider who has averaged less than 20 points per game so far this season, led the Kings into the playoffs, Mickey Richmond, three point guards who have played against the super giants (John Stockton, Kevin Johnson and Tim Hardaway), and Gary Payton, whose personal data is not as outstanding.

With this back line, Lin Xing joins it, isn’t that easy to compete for the starter?

Let’s look at the competition for forward positions—

Last season's regular season MVP Charles Barkley, Sean Kemp, who can fly and deduct a lot of fans, and Carl Malone, who just had a fight with Lin Xing.

Compared with the defender position, the depth may not be that outstanding.

But with Barkley here, Lin Xing, the point guard, could have competed for the first place, but when he moved to the power forward position, he could only compete for the second place at once.

Don’t underestimate the gap in this ranking. If Lin Xing loses to Kemp or Malone, then he can only play as a substitute.

The gap between the All-Star starter and the substitute is quite big.

But the facts have been decided, and Lin Xing can only compete with Barkley, Camp and Malone according to the league's ideas.

In fact, when it comes to competition, the competition at the center position is the biggest these days.

Although the center is single, in the East, there are three well-known names that compete for the starter - Shark, Gorilla and Kidney Fighter Morning.

In the West, there are three well-known names that compete for the start of the competition - Dameng, General and African Mountains.

This is not the case with Brad Doherty and Vlad Divac, who are also very popular.

In the early 1990s, it was a prosperous era for centers.

The most intuitive manifestation of the center's prosperity is—

The regular season has been going on for a month, and the average score is on the table:

The first place is the Shark, the second is the General, the third is the Big Dream, and the fourth is the Gorilla. Lin Xing, who averages 25.7 points per game, ranked fifth.

And the one ahead of him was just a coincidence that they were the four centers.

"Jordan retires and this league becomes a league dominated by the four centers."

...

Lin Xing sighed and followed his warriors to continue on the road.

On December 4, they faced the challenge of the Indiana Pacers at home.

At this time, the Pacers were already Reggie Miller's team.

However, Reggie Miller was not really famous at this time.

He has not yet played a series of masterpieces that will be remembered by later generations. He has not been praised by Pat Riley as "like Jordan", nor has he pushed Jordan away and completed the final victory.

But at this time, he was already an arrogant and bold shooter on the court.

In this game, he has been provoking the madman who defended him.

The provocative madman's movements became increasingly powerful, but he still shot in and scored 5 three-pointers under the madman's defense, scoring 28 points.

On the other hand, Lin Xing encountered strict defense because the Pacers' head coach was Larry Brown.
To be continued...
