I'm really not a 3D player

Chapter 226 The All-Star Weekend Comes to an End

On February 2, the All-Star Weekend continued.

First up is the Shooting Star game.

The Los Angeles team, which played at home, did not win the final victory amidst the cheers of the fans.

The Atlanta team composed of Al Horford, Kirk Miller, and Steve Smith won the Shooting Stars championship.

After the appetizer-like event, the high-profile triathlon kicked off.

The first was the skills challenge, and the Warriors had Curry participating.

The other four contestants are: Russell Westbrook, Chris Paul, Derrick Rose, and John Wall.

Westbrook entered the finals with the first place in the preliminaries. Paul, Rose and Wall's results were not very satisfactory, and they were eliminated from the bottom of the rankings.

Curry made it through to the finals.

In the final, the elementary school students seemed to have found the feeling, and completed each project very smoothly. They overwhelmed Westbrook with a time of 28.2 seconds and won the championship of this Skills Challenge.

Then came the three-point contest, and the Warriors also had players involved.

Curry participated in the Skills Challenge and didn't have the energy to sign up for the three-pointer contest, and plans to participate next year.

Anthony Morrow represented the Warriors in the three-point contest.

This season, Morrow's three-point shooting rate is as high as 39%, second only to the same team's Curry and Sun Yi, ranking tenth in the league.

If he performs well in the game, he has a high chance of winning the championship.

The other five participating players are: Ray Allen, Pierce, James Jones, Daniel Gibson, Durant.

In the preliminaries, Durant was the first to play, and his shooting was substandard. He only scored 6 points, almost equaling the lowest score in the three-point contest.

In the live commentary, in order to mobilize the emotions of the fans, Barkley jokingly said: "This is the closest Kevin is to Michael."

In the front row of the audience, Sun Yi, Curry and others who came to cheer for Morrow heard this and burst into laughter.

As the god of basketball, one of the few black spots of Mr. Joe is that he participated in the three-point shooting contest. He only scored 5 points in the game, creating the lowest score in the three-point shooting contest.

Not only did the Flying Pig Jazz, who did not take too much trouble to watch the excitement, teased Durant, he also whipped Jordan's corpse by the way.

The next player to play was James Jones, who scored 16 points.

The third player to play was Morrow, who performed normally and scored 18 points, temporarily ranking first.

The fourth player to play was Daniel Gibson, who played abnormally and scored 7 points, 100% will be eliminated.

The fifth player to play was Ray Allen, who played well and scored 20 points.

The last defending champion, Pierce, played mediocre and only scored 12 points. Unfortunately, he missed the chance to defend the champion of the three-point contest.

So far all the preliminaries are over, and James Jones, Morrow and Ray Allen have advanced to the final.

In the finals, Ray Allen was the first to appear and performed abnormally, scoring only 15 points.

James Jones, who played second, recovered a bit and scored 18 points.

Morrow, who played at the end, greatly increased his confidence and played super-level, scoring 22 points.

In the end, Morrow defeated Ray Allen and James Jones and won the three-point shooting contest.

The last was undoubtedly the highly anticipated slam dunk contest.

Since Sun Yi completed several incredible dunks in the rookie game last night, fans are looking forward to this dunk contest, hoping to make a breakthrough.

But after the game started, neither creativity nor tricks could meet the fans' expectations, which made them feel very disappointed. They felt that this year's slam dunk contest was still as boring as ever.

The players who signed up for this dunk contest are: Ibaka, McGee, Griffin and DeRozan.

In the preliminaries, McGee completed two creative dunks, scored 99 points, and advanced to the finals with the first place in the preliminaries.

Griffin made it through the danger, beat Ibaka and DeRozan, and won the final place in the final.

In the finals, Griffin took out the bottom-of-the-box trick, gliding over the hood of the flying car and dunking, and won 68% of the fans' votes, beating McGee to win the slam dunk contest championship.

In the auditorium, Sun Yi lacked interest and couldn't lift his spirits.

If Griffin could fly over the top of a car, that would be impressive, but there are plenty of guys in the NBA who can jump over the front of a car.

"That's it?! The level is too low."

After Curry made a comment, he turned to Sun Yi and said, "Sun, if you go to participate, you will definitely win the championship."

"Stephen, although I have a high chance of winning the championship, don't be arrogant!" Sun Yi said modestly.

"Sun, I believe you can do it. By the way, will you participate in the dunk contest next year?" Curry asked curiously.

"Man, I'll think about it again." Sun Yi replied, then got up and left the arena with Curry and others.

At the same time, in the NBA president's office, David Stern frowned when he heard the assistant's report.

This year's Rookie Game, Skills Challenge and Three-Point Shootout Contest all satisfied fans, but the much-anticipated Dunk Contest left fans extremely disappointed.

"If we want to restore the reputation of the dunk contest, we have to do everything possible to get Sun Yi to sign up for it next year."

Stern is a little tired, he is about to retire, and he has to trouble him to make suggestions for such a trivial matter. Adam Silver is really useless!
……

……

On February 2, the All-Star Game officially started.

Yao and Nowitzki, who were originally selected for the All-Star Game, were absent due to injuries.

They were replaced by Kevin Love and Blake Griffin.

Sun Yi knows that the Mavericks are aiming to win the championship this season, and it is understandable for the players to recharge their batteries and prepare for the playoffs.

The starting lineup of the Western Conference All-Star Team is: Paul, Kobe, Sun Yi, Durant, and Duncan.

The starting lineup of the Eastern All-Star team is: Rose, Wade, James, Stoudemire, Howard.

After the start of the game, Sun Yi didn't have a high desire to attack. After two or three explosive dunks, he started to paddle all the way, and occasionally gave him subtle assists to give him a sense of presence.

On the other hand, Kobe is the most serious player.

This is chatter territory, and it must be up to him to call the shots.

Under Sun Yi's wonderful pass, Naka turned into a ruthless scoring machine and quickly opened up the point difference.

Seeing this situation, the Eastern All-Star team didn't want to catch it without a fight.

Under the leadership of James, the Eastern All-Star team fought back frantically and quickly narrowed the point difference.

When the game reached the last 3 minutes of the fourth quarter, Kobe stepped up to reap the game and hit consecutive fadeaway jumpers, opening the point difference to double digits again.

The Eastern All-Star team wanted to fight hard and gambled on the outside, but fell short and failed to achieve a lead.

In the end, the Western All-Stars defeated the Eastern All-Stars 148-140.

In terms of statistics, the best player on the Western All-Star team is Kobe.

在上场的35分钟内，砍下了37分14篮板3助攻3抢断的全面数据。

The most outstanding player on the Eastern Conference All-Star Team is James.

In 36 minutes on the court, he scored a triple-double of 29 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists.

At the post-game awards ceremony, Kobe received the All-Star MVP trophy from NBA Commissioner David Stern.

So far, the All-Star Weekend is over, and each team will go all out to hit the playoffs.

The battle of the regular season is on the verge of breaking out again!
