With three points at the start, Nash begged for a maximum salary to renew his contract

Chapter 366 All-star game, revenge and revenge
The host of the 2019 All-Star Weekend is the Charlotte Hornets. Perhaps this may be one of the reasons why Kemba Walker can squeeze out Wade, who has a higher number of votes, and become the All-Star starter.

Although the host Hornets failed to be like the Lakers this season, all three players were selected as All-Stars. Oladipo missed this All-Star due to injury, but Davis and Kemba Walker were both selected as All-Star starters It is already the only group this season.

On February 2, the All-Star Weekend officially opened, and the Rookie Challenge and Masters Game were held on the first day.

What is more worth mentioning is the Rookie Challenge. After the restructuring, the Rookie Challenge has already changed from the previous confrontation between first and second graders to a script for the confrontation between the local American team and the rookies of the world team.

And this time everyone is more concerned about, of course, the amazingly high number of votes in the All-Star voting. If it is not because of the league's current selection mechanism, 100% of Doncic has already entered the All-Star Game.

However, no one expected that the one who really shined in the rookie game was the little-known Kyle Kuzma.

Kuzma of the Nuggets played on behalf of the U.S. native team, scoring 35 points, leading the U.S. native team to defeat the World Team and winning the MVP of the Rookie Challenge.

This is really unexpected.

Last season, as the main substitute player of the Nuggets, Kuzma's performance was impressive. Many people think that Kuzma is a player who can perform well with a little training.

Kuzma also proved this this season. After Wang Chao left the team, he replaced Wang Chao and became the team's new starting power forward.

Currently averaging 15.6 points and 6.3 rebounds per game, he is the third scoring point for the Nuggets outside of Mitchell and Murray.

In this Rookie Challenge, his limelight overshadowed his teammate Mitchell, and even the much-anticipated Doncic, becoming the most dazzling boy in the 19 Rookie Challenge.

With Kuzma's current performance, his worth can be said to be rising every day. After the rookie contract ends, he may be another talent who needs a high salary or even a maximum salary to stay.

And he is another example of Wang Chaopin's high-quality and low-cost players.

Over the years, how many potential rookies have been discovered by Wang Chao?There are even many veterans who have rejuvenated their careers by following him.

There are already many team managements who are starting to think about when Wang Chao officially retires, and they will immediately offer an olive branch. Even if they are hired with a high salary, they must let Wang Chao come to their team. benefit.

Of course, it is no secret that Wang Chao is the richest player in the current league and even in the history of the league. The high salary may not be very attractive to him. People don't care about these two stinky money at all.
-
The second day of the All-Star Weekend, as usual, is still a single-player event, that is, the skills challenge, the three-point contest and the slam dunk contest.

Today's individual events, skill challenges and slam dunk contests are no longer interesting. Before the three-point contest, Wang Chao had ruled with terrifying dominance for many years. After he withdrew from the three-point contest, other three-point shooters became Started to emerge, including Curry.

Curry obviously belongs to the type of official games that are more accurate than performance three-point contests. He has never missed a three-point contest for many years, but he has won very few championships. Up to now, there is only one three-point contest trophy. His status as second only to Wang Chao in the field of three-pointers is seriously inconsistent.

But this time, he failed again without any suspense, and lost to Joe Harris in the final.

As for the winner of the slam dunk contest... I'm sorry I didn't remember the name, but it doesn't matter anyway.

The first two days of the All-Star Weekend were spent like this, and finally it came to the last day of the All-Star Weekend on February 2, which is the highlight of the All-Star Game.

This All-Star Game, in the eyes of many censorious media, is very likely to be a game full of explosive points.

There is no other reason. James, the Western Conference All-Star captain, is not worthy of his name and has been questioned online. He deliberately did not choose Wang Chao during the selection process, which also triggered a lot of topics.

Although neither James nor Wang Chao has expressed any views or opinions on this matter so far, neither of them mentioned a word at all, and it is also a bit intriguing, which inevitably makes people think about it.

Some experienced media reporters boldly speculated that the two of them would probably have to settle this grievance in this All-Star Game.

To be precise, Wang Chao will not let James go and will definitely fight back on the All-Star stage.

After all, it is no secret that Wang Chao is petty.

When I was in the Nets before, because Durant wanted to grab the FMVP's behavior, I could directly spray and grab the right to isolate Durant. Don't be too reckless. It is more ruthless than Kobe's MVP in the 04 finals. The only one The difference is that Wang Chao can still lead the team to win after the robbing. Kobe's robbing directly made the Lakers' F4 combination come to naught, and the OK combination completely fell apart.

James made such a disgusting thing in the All-Star voting, how could Wang Chao swallow this breath?

They guessed it right.

Of course Wang Chao will not let it go.

Before the All-Star Game started, Wang Chao had already made it clear to the players on Giannis Antetokounmpo's team in advance in the locker room.

"This All-Star, whoever gets the ball will give it to me as soon as possible. I have a debt with James to settle."

Wang Chao's words are quite authoritative.

Now he is also a veteran who has been in the league for more than ten years, and he has created a great reputation in the league. He has won various honors such as championships and regular season MVPs. His historical status surpasses that of Jordan. He is a real historical No. 1.

Not to mention honors and achievements, in terms of qualifications alone, among all the All-Star players in the East and West, there are only three players older than him: James, Wade and Nowitzki, and although James is older than him One year into the NBA, but the age is even younger than him.

Therefore, as the oldest and most accomplished players in this All-Star Game, including captain Giannis Antetokounmpo, they must give the Football King extra face.

Besides, Wang Chao and James have a new and old grudge. This time, everyone is eating melons. It is really disgusting for James to snatch Wang Chao as the captain of the western region and deliberately not choose Wang Chao.

Although Wang Chao has many enemies in the league, including James, Durant can't wait to kill him, but he also has many friends, just like the Antetokounmpo team, there are Leonard, Butler, Jockey Qi and many other former teammates of Wang Chao.

So when Wang Chao said these words, including captain Giannis Antetokounmpo, they all listened obediently without any complaints, as if Wang Chao should have been the captain of the Eastern All-Stars.

Finally, the All-Star Game has begun.

Amidst the cheers and cheers of countless fans, the ten starters of the Antetokounmpo and James teams appeared on the stage, ready to start the All-Star Game.

Brother Antetokounmpo and Brother Nongmei, two older players, stood in the middle circle to jump the ball.

Alphabet is a talent, but in the field of talent, Brother Nongmei is not bad.

Although the thick eyebrows with a height of 2 meters are a little shorter than the letters, they are better in shoulder width and longer wingspan. The tonnage and jumping explosive power of the two are quite similar, so when jumping the ball, the two are almost evenly matched.

Brother Nongmei still relied on his rich experience in jumping the ball all the year round to move the ball to his side first.

Irving had possession of the ball for halftime, the game officially started, and James team attacked.

As if to reciprocate, Irving dribbled the ball past half court and quickly handed the ball to captain James, indicating that the All-Star captain would conduct the first attack.

But as soon as James received the ball, he saw Wang Chao who was coming up immediately.

James: "..."

Just looking at Wang Chao's serious expression, he knew that the opponent did not intend to relax his defense.

There has always been an unwritten rule in the All-Star Game, that is, no one will really defend seriously. At least in the early stages of the game, the defense is just for show. They all know what the audience likes to see, such as explosive dunks and elegant Dashing shots, fancy dribbling and passing.

Although there are occasional exceptions, there will be one or two incomprehensible guys to defend seriously, but it is only a minority after all.

At least in the past few years, Wang Chao's performance in the All-Star Game was completely in the state of clocking in and playing soy sauce. Let alone defense, he didn't even bother to engage in offense.

This time is obviously different, James can tell that Wang Chao is serious!

At this moment, James hesitated a little. He didn't know whether he should attack Wang Chao's defense forcefully.

With Wang Chao's defensive strength, it is more likely that the offense will be blocked.

After all, we are on the All-Star stage now. If we perform too poorly, it will be a bit embarrassing.

Therefore, after a moment of hesitation, James decisively chose to pass the ball to Durant not far away. The latter made a steady shot from the mid-range. Leonard in front of him did not take defense too seriously. Let Durant shoot at will.

There is only one protagonist in this All-Star Game, and that is Wang Chao.

The Antetokounmpo team attacked, and Curry dribbled the ball across the half court without even a moment's hesitation. He passed the ball directly to Wang Chao, then turned his head and ran to the bottom corner.

After Wang Chao received the ball, he found that the defensive player in front of him was actually Durant.

Durant was also stunned at this time.

What the hell?Shouldn't I be playing against Leonard?
He subconsciously turned to look at James, and then realized belatedly that when he was returning to defense just now, James made a defensive gesture to him, then twisted his butt and chased Leonard, who was slowly crossing the half court. passed.

"That rascal……"

Only then did Durant realize what was going on, scolded James bloody in his heart, glanced at Wang Chao, took a step back, and simply said you should vote.

Although Durant and Wang Chao also have a deep feud, Wang Chao is very unhappy to see, but it is obvious that Wang Chao is targeting James today, so why should he block the fire for James?
Since you asked me to defend Wang Chao, then I will defend according to the normal defensive intensity of the All-Star Game. Let’s see who can withstand whom?
Durant was so witty, and Wang Chao didn't even think about it. He directly pulled out from outside the three-point line, and the basketball was precisely guided into the basket like a missile.

James: "..."

In the current league, everyone knows that even if Wang Chao is allowed to make a breakthrough, he must not be allowed to shoot a three-pointer. He can really shoot deadly shots. This is why Wang Chao's real breakthrough ability is average, but the breakthrough efficiency is very high. One, anti-shot but not anti-burst has always been a set routine especially for Wang Chao.

Who dares to let Wang Chao open for a shot?

James didn't expect that he asked Durant to defend Wang Chao, and he directly gave him a step back to defend.

If this All-Star game is lost, fans will not care how many points Wang Chao scored in front of Durant. Everyone will only remember that James deliberately did not select Wang Chao during the selection process, and then in the All-Star game. He was beaten by Wang Chao in the game and lost all face.

Offensive and defensive transition, this time Irving subconsciously looked at James again after halftime, and then found that James ran directly to the bottom corner, looking like I was a spot-up shooter, and had no intention of attacking with the ball at all.

Owen was also speechless, since the big brother back then wasn't up, then I'll do it myself.

Ou Shenxian dribbled the ball in a flashy way, passed Curry and went to the basket, and a beautiful pull-bar layup was about to score.

But at this moment, Wang Chao suddenly burst out from the wing and slapped Irving's layup onto the backboard.

Although Wang Chao is planning to target James in this game, the premise must be to win the game. Only by winning the game can everything else have a foundation.

Otherwise, no matter how good the statistics of the whole game are for Wang Chao, it would be meaningless for his Antetokounmpo team to lose to the James team.

There is nothing to do with an almost undefensible mid-range shot like Durant, but it is not a big problem for Irving's fancy layup to take a cold shot.

After completing the block, Wang Chao successfully confiscated the ball, and then ran towards the frontcourt non-stop!

Signature defensive counterattack fast break.

With the speed of a fast break expert, Wang Chao's long-distance sprint speed is extremely fast. He obviously started sprinting from the backcourt, but when Wang Chao rushed to the frontcourt, the only ones standing in front of him were James and Durant and two.

Durant made it clear to watch the excitement, and the only one who really wanted to stop Wang Chao's fast break was James.

Seeing Wang Chao approaching the three-point line, James didn't dare to neglect, and hurried forward to defend.

But what he didn't expect was that Wang Chao stopped and took off outside the three-point line without hesitation to shoot after he was already blocked in front of him.

James reacted quickly and jumped up immediately. Although he couldn't block Wang Chao's shot, it also caused a lot of defensive interference.

But... "Shua!"

The basketball flew across the sky, and then fell into the net again with precision.

Wang Chao faced James's defensive pull-up shot and hit it again!
6: 2!

The audience at the scene were all excited.

Wang Chao is firing on all cylinders as soon as he comes up!Within 2 minutes of the start of the game, he had already made two three-pointers and scored 6 points, and James was so tight in defense that he was able to make the shots. It was really accurate.

Wang Chao, who shot James in the face, had a calm expression. He didn't turn around and return to the defense immediately. Instead, he kept his shooting posture and retreated slowly, staring at James with meaningful eyes.

"On the stage of the All-Star Game, we will revenge for revenge, and revenge for injustice!"
