NBA: Start by torturing Jordan and add points to upgrade

Chapter 282 The All-Star Game with the highest expectations in history!

The Mavericks' resistance tonight did not last long. In the middle and late second quarter, the point difference between the two sides was widened to more than 20 points.

Although Finley and Nash worked together in the third quarter and once narrowed the point difference to less than 15 points, this was their limit. They were unable to continue their firepower, and the point difference between the two sides was also narrow most of the time. Over 20 points!
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Bird once again took on the lineup that scared everyone: Lin Tian, ​​Carter, Miller, Christie and Webb!

This pure offensive lineup only took 3 minutes to smash the Mavericks' position. In 3 minutes, the Pacers played an 11:2 offensive climax, pushing the point difference to 30 in one fell swoop. points or more!
Then, the suspense of the game was completely lost!
Bird retreated and replaced his main players on the court.

The Mavericks did not put up much resistance. Finley, Nowitzki and Nash played on the court for another 3-4 minutes. After narrowing the point difference to 20 points, they also walked off the court and began to rest.

In the end, the score between the two sides was fixed at 121:99!
The Pacers won another 20-point or more victory!

In this game, Lin Tian scored 20 points in the first quarter, but in the second three quarters because Nelson directly hid Strickland, Lin Tian also put away his brutal style of play and did not let Nelson feel it. They didn't know what despair was, and they didn't let the Mavericks experience the joy of being bombarded with 62 points in three quarters in advance.

最终林天拿下了39分12次助攻5篮板4抢断的漂亮数据，韦伯则有22分11篮板4助攻入账，卡特也再次拿下21分！步行者三剑客，再次联手轰下82分！
Their firepower is indeed the best in the league!
For the Mavericks, Nowitzki scored 18 points and Finley scored 20 points. Nash, who came off the bench and got a lot of playing opportunities in the last three quarters, scored 16 points and 8 assists! As for the summary, although he scored 5 points as soon as he came on the stage and performed well, he only scored 7 points in total in the whole game!
在登场的惊艳之后，他在其余的时间里3投只有1中，全场比赛5投3中拿下7分3篮板1助攻1盖帽，对他来说也算得上是还不错的表现。

For Nelson, he knows very well that his team's goal is not to quickly become the league's top team within one or two years. Today's team still needs to grow and adapt.

So after losing to the league's No. 1 player, Nelson was neither anxious nor angry at all. It was normal to lose this game! He was even actually very happy!
Because he discovered Nash!

"Lewis was flying behind the basket with his clever steps, and decisively attacked from outside the 3-point line. After scoring 5 points in a row, he just smiled! 》

"Watch the replay of the wonderful steps from multiple angles!" In terms of footwork alone, he is definitely among the top three in the league today! 》

After all, it’s only a few hundred a month… Well, it’s only that little money a month anyway, so there’s no need to go all out!

"The complete list of the strongest 3-point contest lineup in history!"

"Old Nelson will get out of class sooner or later!" This rare player is not given a chance or a tactical position. He ranks among the top three in the NBA in terms of stubbornness and stupidity! 》

"5 points and 2 rebounds in a single quarter led the team to chase points! He probably wanted to kill the enemy, but Nelson didn't give him a chance and was helpless! 》

This list can indeed be called the most luxurious 3-point contest in history!
Among them, Cole was the 1997 Three-Point Contest Champion, Hornacek was the 1998 Three-Point Contest Champion, and Rice was the 1995 Champion!

Nelson has decided to correct Nash in the second half of the season!

Even though it was an official announcement, league officials did not hold back and uncharacteristically added a sentence before the list for the three-point contest.

As for Strickland? Go wherever you like, Nelson can't stand this kind of cowardice. If nothing unexpected happens, Strickland will be sent away before the deadline, and the Mavericks will find another point guard with similar strength to Nash. Dangdang substitute.

Such headlines, which are very funny at first sight, are flooded with major portals and forums, attracting countless fans to click, laugh, abuse and tear each other up, and the fans are having fun.

In short, Nash's performance today left a very deep impression on Nelson. Nelson also regretted that it took him half a season for a player of this level and talent to realize that this year, he spent too much energy on Nowitzki was involved, causing the growth of other players to be ignored.

"China's top showdown takes place in the NBA!" Lin Tianke would give it 9 points, but I would give it roughly 10 points! 》

"Head-on confrontation!" Almost sacrificing his life, he made a flying dive to block Lin Tian's dunk, but Lin Tian moved around and dunked to score 2 points! 》

Call him an offensive foul? It's not that it's impossible, but that's something that only big inside players dare to do. There are really not many ordinary outside players who can do this.

"Lead the team to chase points with five consecutive points!" It only takes about two minutes to win the coach's trust! 》

Lin Tian's fans will not be attracted by these things.

If you write normally, you can get enough traffic!

As for why these abnormal posts are all related to general matters? The reason is also very simple.

"If you train him with all your strength, he will be no worse than Nowitzki!" 7 dimensions and 9 items of data prove that the rough one is the better one! 》

NBA games are still going on in an orderly manner.

"The No. 2 high school student in Xuangfei easily scored 3 points and scored 5 points after receiving the pass!" Roughly points in a row showed the style of the Moving Great Wall! 》

Another thing that impressed Nelson deeply was that in the second half of the third quarter, when Nash was defending Lin Tian on a fast break, he stood firm with his legs without any fear and stood in front of Lin Tian, ​​causing Lin Tian to What an offensive foul!
Although the referee gave an offensive foul, Nash was as if he was hit by a running buffalo. He almost flew off the ground with his feet, and then fell out of the baseline!
In today's league, who doesn't know that Lin Tian is almost the number one heavy tank and monster on the back line. The No. 1 position who is slightly less powerful and shorter will have to be crushed by Lin Tian's infinite back beating.

But after giving Nash enough tactical autonomy tonight, this guy played a performance that Nelson will remember deeply! His passing, overall view, and most importantly, his temperament when directing his teammates to move. As long as the basketball comes to Nash's hands, this guy doesn't care whether you are Finley or Nowitzki. If he wants you to pick and roll, he will do it. Come up!

Yes, the official endorsement of this 3-point competition directly gave this competition the title of the strongest in history!

In this era of brutal growth of the Internet, some domestic portals have begun to enter the public eye. After this game, in order to attract the attention and clicks of fans, these wildly growing portals also started various activities. What a chore!

And when the fans carefully read this list, they didn't have any objections, but they all said: It is indeed the strongest in history!
The eight-man roster for this three-point contest is as follows: Steve Kerr, Jeff Hornacek, Ray Allen, Reggie Miller, Glenn Rice, Brent Barry, Gary... Payton, Lin Tian.

Anyway, Lin Tian’s fans were very satisfied today and said they enjoyed watching it quite well!
Of course, after this game, there are other repertoires.

If Tim Legler, who won the championship in 1996, had not declined significantly and became a marginal member of the team, and Price, who won the championship in 1993 and 1994, had retired, there is a high probability that Stern would have Bring them here too!

……

Before tonight, his impression of Nash had always been that he was a decent point guard who could shoot and pass but was hard to say on the defensive end.

Lin Tian no longer needs these.

On February 2, one week before the start of the All-Star Game, NBA officials first announced the list of participants for this season's 5-Point Contest!

In the second half of the season, there will be some rain and dew!
Well, just do it.

Although there are roughly the highlight moments of scoring 5 points in a row, his highlight moments are only 5 points.

And with the All-Star Game approaching, the league has used all the hype methods they can. If they continue to play like this, they can only make up something like Lin Tian and Carter for the dunk contest. It's bullshit that they drew guns and shot each other in the locker room due to quotas.

Fortunately, at this time, thanks to Stern's efforts, everything has been settled!

When reporting news related to Lin Tian, ​​just use the most basic and normal method.

Speaking of this New Year's war, it was actually a bit anticlimactic. The two sides did not quarrel for too long. The Mavericks hardly put up any resistance in the second half, and Lin Tianhe's match on the same court actually lasted less than 10 minutes.

But fortunately, Lin Tian still performed at a high level today, and he brought an extraordinary visual feast to the fans!

As this New Year war comes to an end, China's fans have had their fill of addiction, and then began to devote themselves to their happy Spring Festival holiday!

Although there are two of them missing, there are three champions of the last four 4-point contests gathered on the court. There is absolutely no doubt about the gold content and excitement of this three-point contest!
Apart from the three of them, although Miller has never won the 3-Point Contest, he is recognized as the number one shooter in NBA history, and Ray Allen is called by everyone the best shooter after Miller!

In addition, although Payton shot only 36% from three-point range, he averaged 2.5 three-pointers per game this season, ranking second in the league.

If Payton wins with quantity, then Brent Barry wins with quantity and quality. He averaged 2.4 3-pointers per game this season, ranking third in the league, and his field goal percentage is as high as 41%, ranking third in the league. six!
These two most important shooter statistics are all ranked in the top 6 in the league. Barry is definitely one of the best shooters in the league today!

As for the last Lin Tian, ​​he averaged 2.9 3-pointers per game this season, ranking first in the league, with a field goal percentage of 43%, ranking fourth in the league!
Regardless of quantity or quality, Lin Tian can hold down Barry again! Today, Lin Tian is almost the top shooter in the league!

And it is worth mentioning that because Lin Tian has a very high grasp of 3-pointers and often shoots chasing 3-pointers and long-range 3-pointers, the league has now set off a wave of shooting long-range and chasing 3-pointers. trend.

Although it has not yet become a truly orthodox offensive method, the top shooters in the league have more or less increased their number of 3-pointers. In contrast, their number of 3-pointers has also increased. What a big increase!
This is because Lin Tian does not regard 3-pointers as his special skill and does not shoot crazy shots in every game. If Lin Tian really imitates Curry and throws so crazy, even if he can lead Curry to The 3 wind ball atmosphere was brought into the league more than 10 years in advance!

It's just that throwing a few long-range and chasing 3-pointers is cool, but if you keep throwing and only throw 3-pointers, it's almost boring.

It’s the combination of sudden shots that makes him the most handsome!

In any case, these eight top shooters in the league are also the eight shooters with the highest status, the best reputation, and the most convincing people in the league. To be honest, let the fans find 1-2 more people to replace these eight people. , they can’t find it!
These eight people are indeed the best and top shooters currently active in all aspects.

TNT, for the first time, gave this 3-point contest a very high but very unsophisticated name: Battle of the Gods!

While various media and fans were discussing who was most likely to win the championship and who had the best chance to become the three-point king, the league announced the participants for the slam dunk contest one day after the three-point contest list was released. Player list!
Vince Carter, Tracy McGrady, Steve Francis, Larry Hughes, Jerry Stackhouse and Lin Tian!

The six participating players in the slam dunk contest were also in place at the same time!
The list of these six people also makes fans excited!
One by one of these 6 people, they are all the top dunkers among the younger generation in the league!
Needless to say, Carter was famous throughout the United States for his dunks as early as high school. In college, he was known as North Carolina's strongest dunker after Jordan! His physical fitness, actual dunking ability and the fierce beauty shown during dunking are definitely the dunkers that fans are most looking forward to, if not one!

As for McGrady, he played step by step in his three years with the Raptors, getting better and better. From the beginning as a pure substitute and sixth man to finally becoming the starter this season, he even became a ball player after Rose left the team. One of the most important players on the team, it can be said that he has a bright future!
Compared with Carter's fierce, violent, and crisp dunk style, McGrady's slender and perfect body makes his dunks look elegant, elegant and casual! He and Carter can be said to be two extremes of dunk styles.

As for Francis, the second overall pick who caused a lot of controversy for not reporting to the Grizzlies at the beginning of the season also showed his terrifying talent after arriving with the Rockets. He is the shortest among the six, so he When performing folding, turning and other fancy tricks in the air, it is also the most complete and beautiful one that can be done!
These three people are also considered to be the three most promising to win this slam dunk contest. Many people believe that the final champion will appear among these three people!
As for Larry Hughes and Stackhouse, although both of them have amazing physical fitness, they are flying in the air when they play. In other years, they would actually be qualified to compete for dunks. The seeded players for the championship, but this year, those three guys are really a bit abnormal.

Almost everyone thinks: They are totally out of luck!

As for the last Lin Tian, ​​since the peak showdown between Jordan and Wilkins, it has been a long time since an MVP-level player in his playing years has participated in the dunk contest.

The reason is that many players do not want to be called a dunker, and many top stars are worried about being embarrassed if they lose or fail to dunk well.

For players at the All-Star level or above, it doesn't matter whether they have a title like the Slam Dunk Contest champion, but if they lose, they will definitely suffer a loss!
But this year, Lin Tian is here! This truly top star who was the regular season MVP last year and leads the MVP list so far this year has joined the Slam Dunk Contest!

This has completely heated up the entire dunk contest! In 1997, the slam dunk contest almost collapsed because of Kobe's poor dunks. This time it attracted enough attention and attention early!
What makes fans even more excited is that in addition to the head-to-head showdown between top dunkers, there are also the judges of this year's All-Star Slam Dunk Contest!

The league announced the list of this year's referees almost at the same time as it announced the contestants.

The position of dunk contest referee was never introduced specifically in previous years, but it is introduced this year, which means it will definitely be completely different from previous years!
'The Best of Human Cinema' Dominic Wilkins!
'Potato' Spotter Weber!

'Little Eagle' Larry Nance!
'Scoring Machine' Rick Barry!
'Flying Pig' Charles Barkley!
As soon as the list of these five judges came out, the fans immediately became extremely excited!
Of these five people, the first three, Wilkins, Weber and Nance, have all won the slam dunk contest, and they all have classic dunks that are extremely valuable and worthy of repeated review by fans!

The three of them are definitely Beidou-level figures in the NBA dunk world!

As for Rick Barry, although he is not famous for dunks, he is the Warriors' number one star besides Chamberlain. This All-Star Game is held in Oakland, so naturally they have to find a Warriors star to fill the venue.

It's a pity that Chamberlain died young, otherwise Stern would have to find this 'Big Dipper' anyway.

As for the last one, Buckley, who looks out of place with the other four people and doesn't have the same style of painting at all...

Well, he's the alternative to Stern.

It was Stern who couldn't find another suitable person to serve as the fifth judge, so he brought in Barkley.

Stern originally wanted to find Jordan to be the judge of the slam dunk contest, but he didn't expect that this guy was inexperienced and unwilling to be a judge at all. Stern tried his best to speak his mind, but Jordan Just unmoved.

Say nothing.

However, Stern was already prepared for this matter, because Jordan had disappeared in the past six months after his retirement, and it was very difficult to find him.

But recent news shows that Jordan is in Washington, and he is discussing with the Wizards owners about acquiring the team!
He wants to buy a team to play with!

As for the details and content of the discussion between him and the Wizards, whether it is to buy some shares or to buy the entire team, Stern does not know. I am afraid that the two parties will not announce the details until the final decision is made.

Because Jordan was unwilling to participate, Stern couldn't find another dunker who could sit side by side with the three, so he simply contacted TNT and borrowed from them Barkley, who was good at doing chores and creating program effects. !

At this point, the dunk contest judging panel has officially taken shape!
The judges of this dunk contest are definitely the most luxurious and anticipated ones in NBA history!
Fans and players are very curious, what will these top dunkers think of those young dunkers, and what kind of scores will they give them? And what kind of dunks will this group of top dunkers in league history produce?
The fans' expectations have been completely peaked one week before the official start of the All-Star Game!

After attracting a lot of traffic with the three-point and dunk contest gimmicks, the league also announced the list of All-Star substitute players for this season before the All-Star Game!
Over in the West: Michael Finley, Rasheed Wallace, Scottie Pippen, David Robinson, Mitch Richmond, Jason Williams, Antawn Jamison!
Eastern Team: Grant Hill, Karl Malone, Dikembe Mutombo, Gary Payton, Reggie Miller, Ray Allen, Jerry Stackhouse!

Judging from the books, the Eastern team's bench lineup is obviously much more luxurious than that of the Western Conference. The reason is also very simple: Stockton retired, Payton and Malone traveled east.

The Western Team also suddenly has three more All-Star spots, which can be allocated to players who do not seem to be qualified.

For example, two players from the bottom team, Jamison and Williams, have good statistics, but the team's record is so bad that it stands to reason that the coaches will not choose them.

But when there were several more spots in the Western Conference, the coaches voted for 'White Chocolate' Williams, who was very popular among fans, and Jamison, the star of the host Golden State Warriors.

According to previous standards, it is obviously difficult for these two people to be selected.

But in this year's situation in the Western Conference, these two still benefited from a lot of benefits from the strong East and the weak West, and were successfully selected as All-Stars.

Compared to the Western Conference, which doesn't know who to pick, the Eastern Conference has several players who have become All-Stars.

Houston of the Knicks, Glenn Robinson of the Bucks, Glenn Rice of the Hornets...

At least from the aspects of team record, player strength and personal data, they are obviously more qualified to be selected for the All-Star Game than Williams and Jamison.

But there is no way, the rules are like this. These players who were not selected for the All-Star bench can only look forward to the next opportunity with regret.

Judging from the number of selected players, the Pacers are the only team with four players selected to the All-Star lineup. The Heat and Spurs also have three players selected respectively, and the Pistons have two players selected.

Although the Lakers were selected as All-Star starters, they were not included in the bench. On the contrary, both the Trail Blazers and Spurs were selected as the bench, becoming the biggest winners in the Western Conference.

Then, the league announced a new way to play the rookie game! Because last year's All-Star Game was canceled and in order for more players to appear in the All-Star Game, the NBA's rookie game was divided into two teams based on east and west teams, and became first-year players versus second-year players. !
This new way of playing will not only allow more and better players to appear in the All-Star Game, but also eliminate the problem that previous rookies were not good enough and could not make up the best players for both teams, resulting in All-Star rookies. Very boring situations happen.

And changing from a matchup between the East and West to a matchup between first and second graders will make it easier for players and fans to develop a sense of belonging and responsibility, making the game more exciting and exciting!
After all the preparations and participants for the All-Star Game were finalized, everyone's thoughts had already come to Oakland over the weekend, which directly caused the final regular seasons to become less attractive, from the team to Fans have become 'victims' of the All-Star Game.

But fortunately, these days of being ignored are only a few days!
On February 2, all teams in the league concluded their last game before the All-Star Game.

On the 10th, representatives of each team and participating players arrived in Auckland in small groups.

And because this year’s host Warriors team has only Jamison selected as an All-Star, but Jamison is only a sophomore and has no friendship with many players, so this year’s Oakley Airport did not even have anyone organized. Pick up at the airport and have an evening party!

The players can only use their own subjective initiative to hold various parties and programs without a host, so that the players can have a great time while the fans enjoy watching it!

From the morning to the evening of the 10th, players from all walks of life participating in the NBA All-Star Game arrived one after another, and soon the hotel officially chartered by the league was full. At night, as long as they came to the lobby of this hotel, , you will find that the place is full of NBA stars chatting!

After all, during the day on the 11th, NBA officials arranged a whole day of caring activities for the players, allowing the players to go deep into the community to build good relationships and interact with local civilians and charity organizations. And on the night of the 11th, which is Friday In the evening, it’s the All-Star Rookie Game that opens up a new way of playing!
There were still some events during the day on Saturday, but the highlight was obviously the All-Star individual event in the evening!

Then comes Sunday. On this day, the league will no longer arrange any activities for the players. Instead, it will open the training grounds of the Eastern and Western Star Teams from early in the morning, allowing reporters to take close-up shots of the training content and status of the two teams.

In the afternoon, there is the reporter's favorite roundtable meeting. They will have almost an entire afternoon to communicate closely with the players and ask various questions to the players.

Finally, of course, the last main course of every All-Star Game is also the most important game: the All-Star Game!
As the NBA's most star-studded, relaxed and most anticipated game of the year, the All-Star Game has always been fans' favorite program during All-Star Weekend.

But this year, something has changed.

Because when fans voted for the most anticipated event this year, 41% of fans chose the dunk contest!
From the participants to the viewers, everyone is full of confidence in this year's slam dunk contest!

They are all looking forward to the birth of a historic slam dunk contest!

On the afternoon of the 10th, Lin Tian got off the plane with three of his teammates who were participating in the All-Star Weekend and Bird, who was going to coach the Eastern All-Star team. They had just played a game in Vancouver, almost halfway across the United States. I finally made it to Auckland.

But what dissatisfied Miller, a veteran, was that no one picked him up at the airport!
"These brats in Oakland have no rules at all!" Miller curled his lips and complained.

"Come on, Reggie, you already know they are brats. Do you have the phone number of any of them? You haven't even spoken to them, why should they come to pick you up?" Lin Tian glanced at him and said nothing. He mocked without hesitation.

"Then how do we get to the hotel? Can we take a taxi?" Weber was very sober and asked a very core question.

"I'm prepared." After Lin Tian said this, he took the lead and walked towards the parking lot. As soon as a few people reached the parking lot, Lin Tian picked up his mobile phone and made a call.

In less than two minutes, a white bus with dark solar film on all the windows but a simple and tattered body drove towards a few people.

"Get in the car!"

After Lin Tian finished speaking, he was the first to board the bus.

Although the other four people were a little strange, they followed closely and followed Lin Tian onto the bus.

Then... they saw Rashid sitting in the driver's seat, waving to several people excitedly.

"This is a trick we learned from Lin! This All-Star Game, there are paparazzi everywhere, cameras and reporters everywhere! If we want to go out and have fun, we must find a way to avoid them!"

"A bus that couldn't be simpler, has nothing special, and is anti-peeping, is our best choice!" Rashid boasted excitedly.

"This car has 54 seats, which can accommodate all the players attending the All-Star Weekend! And it is low-key and difficult to be found. Who would have thought that a group of our top players would drive a shabby bus? Where are you looking for fun in top nightclubs?”

"I'm leading the way this time. I'm sure I'll take my brothers to visit the entire Bay Area!" Rashid excitedly turned on the audio button on the bus, and then a loud and deep black voice came from the entire bus. RAP song, then the car darkened, and a burst of flashing lights lit up on everyone's seat.

Not to mention, the sound effects are great and the atmosphere is great!

“This junk car cost less than $5000, but I spent $3 to change the sound system! It’s an absolutely top-notch experience! I also added leather seats, a refrigerator, and ambient lighting! The last two rows of seats can be folded down at any time! "Rashid's whole body was swaying to the music at this moment, with an expression on his face like "I'm awesome, please praise me."

"Rashid, you know how to play!" Lin Tian certainly knew what this little brother wanted. He sat next to him and gestured with a thumbs up: "Let's go, call the guys, I'll treat you tonight!"

"What are you talking about! How can I ask BOSS to treat me when I come to my territory! I am treating you! Damon, Scott and Avidas are all here! Anyway, they are not far away, and they are all here to play. This time , we arrange to BOSS you!" Rashid shook his head, then stepped on the accelerator, and the bus immediately drove away into the distance.

"When did you have such a good relationship with these Portland cockroaches?" Miller saw Lin Tian return to his seat and couldn't help but ask, Lin Tian had played with these Portlanders before, who was he? really do not know.

"I don't know either. I just feel like all of a sudden, these people treat me as their big brother." Lin Tian spread his hands, saying that he really didn't know what was going on.

The only reliable guess is that I can fight, and I can fight until this gang of gangsters regard me as the second master of Guan.

Although it is outrageous, it does seem to be very logical?

But those are obviously not important. What is important is that Lin Tianzhen did not expect that these guys who are making a living in Portland are so familiar with the Bay Area!
There are even a few places that Webber, a guy who played for one year in Oakland, is completely unaware of.

Rashid's explanation for this was: "This guy didn't have all his hair when he was playing in Auckland, so he wasn't even qualified to enter many places!"

how to say? Lin Tian can only say that every city has its unique charm, every city has completely different customs and customs, and every city has its own scenery that is worthy of recognition and unforgettable.

When it comes to Auckland, what is the most impressive thing?

There is no doubt that it is the Warriors’ logo and the Bay Area Bridge, the landmark building of the entire city!
Lin Tian never imagined that this group of people could rent a yacht under the Bay Area Bridge and be happy on it.

Drinking and dancing while looking at the bridge is really a wonderful feeling.

Then, the next day, Rashid and the others found a few more guides to introduce Lin Tian and the others to the characteristics of the Bay Area.

How was it introduced?

Simply put, it’s cosplay!

Several good-looking female secretaries in OL uniforms gave the players a personal lesson, from the origin of the Bay Area to the naming of the city, from the gold rush a hundred years ago to the major economies, Technology and financial companies have made this the technology center of the entire West Coast.

how to say?

Educational and entertaining!

Lin Tian likes this teaching method of teaching by words and deeds, especially the part of teaching by example!
There is indeed something worth learning from him about the capitalist teaching methods!

In the past few days, under the leadership of Rashid and others, a group of All-Stars sat on that shabby-looking bus like travelers in the dark night, shuttling through the streets and alleys of the Bay Area, wandering around here, except for being chivalrous and righteous. , no different from Batman.

During the day, he held charity activities and put on a smiling face, showing his care for the people at the bottom, giving back to the society, and serving the community.

In the evening, you can feel the enthusiasm and hotness of the girls here.

Then comes the All-Star Rookie Game.

As the first confrontation between first-year and second-year players, this All-Star Rookie Game is quite a spectacle.

Every rookie has its own supporters, and every rookie calls himself the best!

This kind of challenge match between first and second graders can obviously make the topic very hot!
Moreover, playing on behalf of this year's rookies can also give the players a greater sense of belonging. It is far easier for the players to compete with all their strength than representing the Eastern or Western Conference!

The ratings of this rookie game have already broken the record of previous rookie games as early as the start of the game! Reaching the highest point, when the game reaches its most exciting and exciting moment, this number will definitely be higher!

Stern was listening to the data reported by the staff in his box, feeling proud. After all, he came up with this new rookie competition system, and it is now a great success. Of course he is happy!

Next time, do it again!

Well...just do it!
Needless to say, the quality of the rookies from the 98 and 99 classes is still very high!
Although Ogwokandi, the No. 98 pick in the class, was mediocre, they still had the North Carolina twin stars of Carter and Jamison, as well as Nowitzki and Pierce, two attackers who have grown into the team's second-leading attackers. There is Jason Williams, who was also selected for the All-Star Game!

In addition, there are powerful players such as Mike Bibby, Reeve Lafrentz, Larry Hughes, and Bunchy Wells who play important roles in the team.

Compared with the class of 98, the level of the class of 99 is not bad at all!

The No. 20 pick Lang Brand averaged 10+18 per game in his rookie season. The No. 5 pick Steve Francis also averaged 5 points, rebounds and assists per game. The Clippers' Odom and the Timberwolves' Steve Francis also averaged points, rebounds and assists per game. Zerbiak, Andre Miller of the Cavaliers and Marion of the Suns, these players have also established themselves in their respective teams!

Therefore, in this game, the two sides played extremely exciting, especially since both sides have many talented jumpers and passers. This game is full of wonderful shots, and it can be said to be a climax.

As an appetizer for the All-Star Weekend, this rookie game is absolutely perfect!
Originally, this game was supposed to be dominated by the second-year team relying on their experience and more mature style of play, but because Carter, Jamison and Williams were all selected for the All-Star Game, Carter will have to play tomorrow night. By participating in the dunk contest, their exposure rate is bound to be much higher than that of other players.

For this reason, the coach of the second-year team, Carlisle, the assistant coach from the Pacers, did not give the three of them too much playing time, but let the other players play more and give them more exposure. .

Without these three strongest guys on the team, the second-year team was inevitably at a disadvantage. In the end, they failed to win. Instead, they were counterattacked by the rookie team and lost the game, scoring 16 points and 21 rebounds. The top pick Lang Brand became the MVP of the first rookie game after the rules were changed!

Then?

Then the big guys from each team left the game early, got on the mysterious bus, and disappeared into the night in the Bay Area.

(End of this chapter)
