Chapter 858 Boring All-Star Night

() For this year's All-Star Game, Stephen, who put all his thoughts on the championship, really didn't want to participate. He even thought of an excuse that he couldn't participate due to injury, but it's a pity that the league rejected this possibility. He's like a cow, and he said in a blink of an eye that he was injured and couldn't participate in the All-Star Game. Isn't this nonsense. <-"

I didn’t see that Yao Ming participated in it, didn’t say anything, and you said you were injured, at least you took two games off and didn’t play. You didn’t miss a game, and you performed so well. How can people believe your injury? , and Stephen is not like before. Now Stephen has the momentum of No.1 in the league, and he just won the Olympic gold medal. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is No.1 in the world basketball. Players can not be convinced or believe it. The media likes this title very much, and the league also likes it very much. How can Stephen be absent from a media feast like the All-Stars.

If Stephen did not have a mixed-race background, the American media and fans would not accept him so easily, because in the eyes of white people, no matter whether it is black or yellow, they all belong to the colored race, and there is basically no difference between them. It is acceptable for black people to dominate the sport, and it is also acceptable for yellow people, not to mention other colored races.

Excluding Stephen's personal performance, the Supersonics became No. [-] in the Western Conference in the first month, and then advanced to No. [-] in the league in the second month. Until now, no team has been able to shake the Supersonics' status. , Such a team is very popular even if it does not have any star quality. Otherwise, with so many players, the league president would not have appointed Durant to replace Carmelo Anthony to participate in the All-Star Game.

Stephen really didn't want to participate. The name of All-Star sounds scary, but it is actually an entertainment activity in the form of a party that Westerners like most. For those who are indifferent to these things, it is better to take this opportunity to go on vacation.

Many players participating in the All-Star game are driven by commercial interests behind them, just like Yao Ming. Because of the change of the team, many manufacturers are worried that his popularity will decline, and Yao Ming still enters the All-Star starting strongly to make these manufacturers lose Don't worry, after all, this is an obvious weather vane. Fans vote means that fans still like this player, and Yao Ming's votes this year are not inferior to previous years, which fully demonstrates this point. Obtained when O'Neill stole some of the votes.

But since the league refuses to let Stephen go, Stephen can only go to Phoenix with Yao Ming, Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook and Serge Ibaka. Arriving at a chick from the University of Washington, the two people who are in love are planning to go to Brooks Lake in Dubois, Wyoming to enjoy the world of two people at this time. time.

When they arrived in Phoenix, they were surrounded by the media as soon as they got off the flight. Almost everyone seemed very helpless about this. They had just returned from the game, and what they longed for most was quiet and rest. It's already tiring enough, and it's really not interesting to be surrounded by more media when you get here.

The media didn’t have anything to ask, they were just old questions. The Sonics are doing well now, and they couldn’t ask any embarrassing questions. Someone asked Stephen about Brandon Roy Question, after that game, Brandon Roy bid farewell to the fans with tears in his eyes, and ended his season at the Rose Garden Arena with a victory, although many fans had already I heard the news, but when it really happened, I still couldn't accept that a player who was playing just now was going to leave them in a blink of an eye, and they prayed in the stands, hoping that Brandon Roy would stay. Come down, even if it is playing for more than ten minutes per game.

Brandon Roy told everyone with emotion that, as a victorious supremacist, he could not bear to sit on the sidelines and watch, and for his own complete health, he could only choose to bid farewell to the fans temporarily, but at the same time he also guaranteed , If he can return to health, he will still be a part of Portland, and at this time the team's general manager Kevin Pritchard also said that the team will continue to pay attention to Brandon Roy's recovery from injury.

Because Brandon Roy did not blame the team, the team naturally maintained kindness to him, not only giving him sufficient rest time, but also considering the team option to implement Brandon Roy's rookie contract next season, a The season is nothing more than 300 million US dollars, which is really nothing to the rich and powerful Portland Trail Blazers. The most important thing is to appease Brandon Roy.

On the one hand, Brandon Roy's injury doesn't look that serious. Didn't he just score 34 points, six rebounds and six assists? Yi probably won't be able to return to the court in a year, so it is very necessary to implement this one-year contract, otherwise he will risk competing with other teams. It is worth buying an insurance for several million dollars, and the insurance company also pays Will pay half of it.

On the other hand, it is also the confidence in Chen Yingjie. Chen Yingjie's treatment does not require surgery, so there is almost no harm to the players, and there is no risk of surgery. It seems so unworthy now, the Portland Trail Blazers can't do such a thing.

Between the Portland Trail Blazers and Brandon Roy, there is a mutual understanding between the team and the players, and it is also because Brandon Roy's knee problem not only makes the curse of professional players more colorful among the fans In addition to the thick, the pressure on the Blazers team doctor has increased.

In the past, the big men on the inside had knee problems, and now even the guards have knee problems. In addition, the news uploaded vaguely said that Brandon Roy's knee was caused by his early comeback. In this matter, the management has a certain responsibility, but your team doctor is not in charge, so that the players come back without fully recovering, and you have to bear the main responsibility.

The reason why the media came to Stephen was that Brandon Roy, like Yao Ming, found Chen Yingjie under Stephen's suggestion, and then came to a conclusion different from that of Western medicine, which also caused many medical problems. They think that this is a challenge to their profession. Unless there is definite scientific evidence, Chen Yingjie cannot make such an evaluation of the patient's injury. However, some people support Chen Yingjie's side, especially It was Professor Amilke who even believed that the treatment method proposed by Chen Yingjie was from another perspective. Although the existing technology could not fully explain the various treatment methods, their efficacy could not be denied.

The reporter wanted to drag Stephen, a popular figure, into such a debate to attract attention and create topics. As for whether it would bring trouble to Stephen, that was not their concern. Who knew that Stephen's answer was very good. Unexpectedly.

"I don't know much about Chinese medicine." This was the first sentence Stephen started to say, and the reporters were taken aback by this. It shouldn't be. It is said that the treatments of Yao Ming and Brandon Roy are highly recommended by Stephen. How did they get there? How can I say here that I don’t know much about Chinese medicine? Stephen went on to say: “What I have learned is not a kind of medical skill, but a kind of religion called Taoism. , Taoism has developed its own way of health preservation. As the name suggests, health preservation is to maintain life, focusing on nourishment and taking care as the foundation. It advocates preventing the occurrence of diseases in advance, rather than treating them after occurrence. It has absorbed many advantages of Chinese medicine, but it is very different from Chinese medicine."

The reason why Stephen reduced the color of his own or Chen Yingjie's medical skills and attributed it to religion as much as possible is also to reduce disputes and relieve pressure. If it is medical skills, it will be subject to many legal restrictions, but if it is religion, The degree of freedom is very high. Religious freedom is almost comparable to personal freedom. Naturally, it cannot be compared with medical treatment that is restricted by strict laws.

After hearing this, the reporters felt very rewarding, and they wrote it down one after another. For celebrities like Stephen, digging out their true nature and inner unknown side is what the media like to do most, and Stephen's active cooperation They are indeed very rare.

Stephen has been known for being good at dealing with the media since his debut, and he seldom gives the media a chance to play. This makes the media love and hate. What they love is that Stephen is very cooperative in their interviews, and what they hate is that they hardly give them any play. Opportunities, they rarely get what they want from Stephen.

Regarding the situation of Brandon Roy, Stephen avoided the reporters' siege and walked away on the grounds that he didn't know much about it. At this time, the others had already run away. An angry Stephen shouted at them for their lack of loyalty while speeding up. He lost his footsteps and chased after him.

In the party culture in the United States, charity is always the most popular theme. As soon as they arrived in Philnick, the staff of the league sent invitation cards, inviting them to participate in a charity dinner held by the league. Stephen readily agreed to be on time After going, the staff left with satisfaction.

Every year, the All-Star Game is said to be new, but it is almost the same as last year. The Rookie Challenge, Shooting Star Contest, Skills Challenge, Three-point Long-range Shooting Contest, Slam Dunk Contest, and then the finale All-Star Game, It’s like this every year. Although there are many different and interesting small activities throughout the weekend, these activities are not enough to attract the attention of fans around the world. However, it is impossible to give up as part of the tradition and as the focus of the media’s most attention. All-Star game. The festival gala is almost the same, there are not many with him, and there are not many without him. "Yao Ming added on the side. Although the people here don't understand what the Spring Festival Gala is, they can still guess

Yao Ming was talking about dude or something.

On the second day, the rookie challenge began. Kevin Durant, as the biggest player of the second-year team, led the second-year team to easily defeat the first-year team led by the No. 46 pick Derrick Rose, and Durant won With 36 points, he broke the record of [-] points in the rookie challenge held by Amare Stoudemire. For this, Stephen, who was sitting on the sidelines, continued to applaud Kevin Durant and attracted a lot of attention.

In the end, Kevin Durant also got his wish to get the Most Valuable Player of the Rookie Challenge. You must know that this is the same as the best rookie. Once you miss it, you will never have a chance to get it again. rookie vs.

On the second day, it was time for the miscellaneous game. Although there were no Supersonic players participating, Stephen still sat on the sidelines and participated in the live broadcast throughout.

In the Shooting Star game, the Detroit Pistons and the Phoenix Suns stood in the finals. The Phoenix Suns were the home team. Although the Phoenix Suns won the most applause, the applause could not replace the results after all. In the end, it was still three seconds behind the team. The Detroit Pistons won the championship.

In the skill challenge, Devin Harris from the New Jersey Nets performed the best in the first round, but in the finals, he lost to rookie Derek Roy and was awarded by Rose.

The award was designed for point guards, but the Sonics don't have a strong candidate.

Not all those who participated in the three-point long-range shooting competition are good at three-pointers. Very surprising.

Then there is the slam dunk contest that attracts the most attention. Now it has completely become a game to please fans. Although the genre is updated every time, it is still unavoidable that the participating players are becoming more and more low-end and younger.

In addition to the superman Dwight Howard, the participants also included Nate Robinson, the slam dunk king of the previous year's All-Star Game, and Jr Smith, the participant of the previous year, and the only new face was from the Spanish national team, now a player from the Portland Trail Blazers Rudy Fernandez, this talented and elegant Rudy Fernandez was voted by fans to defeat Russell Westbrook to enter the slam dunk contest, and he was also the first international player to appear in the slam dunk contest.

Rudy Fernandez was very nervous, and Brandon Roy patiently comforted him. If he has been participating in this state, it is definitely impossible to achieve good results. No player who is so nervous can complete his own design. Sure enough, in the competition, although his design plan was unanimously approved by everyone, but because his overall condition was too poor, his score was not too high, and he was eventually eliminated.

In the championship competition between Nate Robinson and Dwight Howard, Nate Robinson won the championship by relying on the creativity of the Kryptonians and the pioneering work of Leaping Dwight Howard. Although the champion was voted by the fans, everyone basically recognized him. To this laurels is not in dispute.

Facing this little potato-like player, Stephen was the first to rush forward to express his congratulations. Nate Robinson was not arrogant at all for Stephen, an outstanding player of the same class, and expressed his greetings to Stephen very humbly.

The slam dunk contest is over, and the link to the global broadcast is gone, but it does not mean that there will be no activities, but without the global live broadcast, Stephen has no need to stand on the sidelines. After returning to the hotel, he has a good sleep and is ready To cope with the All-Star Game tonight.

In last year's New Orleans All-Star Game, Stephen scored 47 points, eight rebounds and ten assists. Not only did he break Wilt Chamberlain's record of 42 points in the All-Star Game, but he also almost missed Break Jordan's All-Star Game triple-double record that year.

But this All-Star Game, Stephen doesn't want to create anything anymore. Even for the All-Star Most Valuable Player trophy, Stephen doesn't have much thought. It is necessary to pay attention to it.

In the game at night, Stephen was not in a good state. Since this game is likely to be the last All-Star Game for Shaquille O'Neal, and it is held in Phoenix again today, many people think that This trophy was handed over to him as a memento. For this reason, Yao Ming generously expressed that he could reduce his playing time, but the guys in the Eastern Conference are obviously not that interesting. They were spoilers last year, and they plan to do the same this year , Unfortunately, they ran into another Stephen.

In the third quarter, Stephen went up to play for 2 minutes and then asked for a rest. But seeing the Eastern All-Stars’ offensive getting stronger and stronger, and Phil Jackson had other ideas, he replaced Stephen again. As soon as he came on the court, there was a dunk on LeBron James' head, which directly sent LeBron James flying more than three meters away.

Then Stephen opened up, like a fierce tiger, showing power around the basket of the Eastern team. Several people were able to block it, and the others cooperated quite well. Almost all of them handed over the ball to Stephen. In the short half of the quarter, Stephen scored [-] points by himself, widening the score gap in one fell swoop.

In the fourth quarter, after seeing that the score was leading, Stephen went off to rest again, but as soon as the situation on the court changed, Phil Jackson replaced Stephen again. As long as he played, Stephen mercilessly Attacking the basket of the Eastern All-Star team, and finally helped the Western All-Star team win again, and at the same time won the Most Valuable Player of the All-Star Game with 36 points, eight rebounds and eight assists. Holding this trophy, Stephen With a wry smile on his face, he really didn't intend to win this award.
