At the beginning of the death entanglement, Curry followed me to slam dunk

Chapter 84 All-Star Preheating

After returning home and lying on the bed in his apartment, Du Zhe turned on the system and checked his current milestones.

【Name: Du Zhe】

【Score: 576】

【Rebounds: 143】

[Assists: 50]

[Steals: 133]

[Caps: 31]

Each data is still a certain distance away from reaching the next milestone.

However, he has already accumulated 31 system points, which is enough to buy a suitable dunk experience package in the system mall to cope with the upcoming All-Star Weekend.

This season's All-Star Weekend is scheduled to run from February 2th to February 12th, which is almost a month away from today.

The game will be held at Cowboys Stadium in Dallas.

Cowboy Stadium is the home of the Dallas Cowboys in the National Football League (NFL). The stadium was just completed last year, costing nearly 12 billion dollars, and can accommodate more than 10 spectators.

Its scale is so large that not only the arenas of NBA teams are hard to come by, but even in the NFL, it is also the number one existence.

It can be seen that in order to run this All-Star Weekend well, the NBA executives have also spent a lot of thought.

According to the arrangement of this All-Star Game, the Rookie Challenge will start on February 2.

Du Zhe believes that with his stable performance since the start of the season, it should not be difficult to book a starting position in the Rookie Challenge.

If nothing else happens, he will represent the second-year rookie and face off against teammate Curry.

The voting for the All-Star Game started in November last year.

Backed by the vast Huaguo market, Du Zhe should have been far ahead in the number of votes.

However, due to last season, the UAE was almost thrown into the All-Star Game by enthusiastic Huaguo fans, and even almost asked Garnett to substitute him.

So since then there have been rumors that votes outside the United States will be officially reweighted.

There are even rumors that the votes from the entire Huaguo region will not be counted in the valid votes for the All-Star voting.

Although these are not official news, judging from Du Zhe's current votes, this statement is not groundless.

His current All-Star votes are indeed much lower than those of the UAE in the same period last year.

In addition, there are bright stars at the forward position in the Western Conference at this time. Duncan, Anthony, Nowitzki, Gasol, Durant... are all gaining momentum. Now Du Zhe wants to squeeze them out of the All-Star selection, which is indeed a bit difficult. difficulty.

However, although he may not be able to participate in the All-Star Game, the league has also sent an invitation to Du Zhe, asking him if he intends to participate in the three-point contest and slam dunk contest.

In principle, NBA players cannot participate in these two competitions at the same time.

However, this principle is not expressly stipulated, and Du Zhe has performed very well in these two items. In addition, his agent Lao Wang has been working hard to negotiate for it.

In the end, NBA executives preliminarily agreed to Du Zhe's request to participate in these two games at the same time after considering factors such as enriching the game's gimmicks and expanding the Huaguo market.

Of course, what Du Zhe didn't know was that the reason why the NBA executives would agree to his request was not only the obvious reasons, but also the meaning of compensation.

Because the alliance did not expect that Du Zhe's progress would be so fast.

In November, when voting began, he was just an unknown role player with a minimum salary.

And one month before the All-Star Game, he had grown into the core of the Warriors, and he was able to compete with all kinds of stars without falling behind.

If the voting rules are not changed, Du Zhe's recent performance would give him a high chance of entering the All-Star Game.

As a result, in order to target the UAE this year, the alliance accidentally injured Du Zhe by accident.

That being the case, in order to compensate Du Zhe, the alliance is willing to make an exception and give him a little privilege to participate.

The MVP of the Rookie Challenge, the champion of the three-point contest, and the champion of the slam dunk contest, these are Du Zhe's three goals for participating in the All-Star Weekend.

Among them, the champion of the three-point contest, Du Zhe felt that he was holding the championship.

After all, with his current shooting skills, open three-pointers can basically be said to be a sure shot.

And he has also conducted targeted training in private for a long time, and he is already familiar with the rhythm of the game.

As for the MVP of the Rookie Challenge, this is still a bit difficult. After all, the opponent has Tyreke Evans, who is in the peak season of his career, and his teammates also have a ruthless guy like Rose.

If you want to win the MVP of this game, you still have to work hard.

And the slam dunk contest...

According to the memories of Du Zhe's previous life, he will meet a strong opponent - Nate Robinson.

Compared with other participating players, Robinson has a significant advantage, that is, he is shorter.

With a height of just over 1.7 meters, he can also complete explosive dunks. This visual impact alone is enough to throw off a lot of other players.

It seems that I have to work hard in the slam dunk contest...

Du Zhe fell asleep on the bed while thinking about the dunk action.

…………

Due to the previous rounds of long road trips, the Warriors can stay at home for a while recently.

It can be said that playing at home is comfortable, you don’t have to travel around, you don’t have to change hotels every day, the game environment is familiar, and there are spectators cheering on the sidelines... In short, there are many benefits.

On January 1, the Warriors played against the Heat at home.

At this time, the Heat had "The Flash" Wade on the outside and O'Neal on the inside.

In addition, Michael Beasley, the second overall pick in 08, has also grown rapidly and begun to show his talent.

Although Du Zhe was able to defend Beasley to death in this game, Wade could easily break through the defense line composed of Curry and Ellis.

Although Du Zhe can also interfere with defense, it is ultimately a temporary solution rather than a permanent cure.

In addition, there is O'Neal Jr. to provide support on the inside, and Wei and Ao, one inside and one outside, cooperate inside and outside, making Du Zhe a little exhausted.

In this Warriors team, apart from Maggette and him, the other players feel really average.

In the end, after the Warriors missed the perfect opportunity, they slammed the home court 106:109, ending their three-game winning streak.

杜哲全场14中7，砍下19分2板4断1助，得分位列全队第二。

The Warriors' highest score in this game was scored by Maggette. Although the veteran played alone, his performance was very solid today. He made 11 of 7 shots and 11 of 11 free throws, scoring 25 points.

As for the Heat, Wade scored 29 points and 9 assists, but he also made 7 turnovers under Du Zhe's defense pressure.

O'Neal Jr. scored 24 points and 7 rebounds, becoming Wade's most reliable helper in this game.

Although it is frustrating to lose by three points, winning or losing is a common matter in military affairs, and Du Zhe will not be hit by a single defeat.

But when he returned to the locker room after the game, he actually received another post-match text message from Jessica.

"Didn't this girl say that she doesn't understand football? How can she become addicted to watching a game?" After unlocking the phone screen, Du Zhe looked at the text message with a question mark on his face.
