Chapter 233 All-Star Ticket King and Fingertip Dribble
2001年1月31日，马刺客场战胜灰熊之后，终于结束了地狱般1月份，在整个1月份中马刺输掉了16场比赛中的8场，比开赛初的两个月输的所有比赛还多，而马刺现在也以29胜14负的战绩排在西部第4的位置。

On the day the Spurs returned to San Antonio, the NBA's official website and major media across the United States announced the final results of this season's All-Star voting. Meng Xu became the season's top voter with a total of 214 million votes. Meng Xu's total votes of 214 million votes is also the second player in NBA All-Star history to receive more than 9697 million votes after Jordan in the 200 season. After Meng Xu, Tim Duncan received 157 million votes , defeated Chris Webber very thrillingly, and ranked second in the western forward position.In this year's All-Star Game, Duncan and Meng Xu from the Spurs will take over the two starting forward spots.

In the guard position, Kobe and Kidd, as expected, won the two starting places in the West. The votes for the two were 143 million and 107 million votes, respectively.At the center position, O'Neal won the second most votes in the West with 2 million votes, becoming this year's All-Star starter.However, just before the announcement of the All-Star starting lineup, the Lakers announced that O'Neal tore his ligament in the game against the Nets and will rest for at least a month, so he will miss this year's All-Star Weekend.O'Neal was injured at this point in time, and with the addition of O'Neal's various paddling this season, it is very easy to think of something.

In the East, Vince Carter became the top voter in the East with 175 million votes, while the other starting forward position was won by Grant Hill.In the guard position, Iverson and Tracy McGrady became the All-Star starting guards in the East with 151 million votes and 87 votes respectively. In the center position, Mourning became the starting center with a total of 91 votes.This year's Eastern Conference All-Star voting also presented a very strange scene. At the beginning of the season, Hill and Mourning, who had been reimbursed for the season, were still voted into the All-Star starting lineup by their own fans in the end.

At the same time, the result of this season's All-Star voting is also what the league most wants to see. Several players currently favored by the league, Duncan, Kobe, Carter, McGrady, and Iverson have all entered the season's full-name starters. After announcing the injury, the league decided after deliberation that Chris Webber, who ranked fourth in the West in total votes but was squeezed out of the starting position by Meng Xu and Duncan, would replace O'Neal as the All-Star starter for this season.At the same time, Garnett and Nowitzki, who have performed well this season and are quite popular, are also likely to become the All-Star substitutes this season. Then, in this way, the "four power forwards" and "four power forwards" that the league is currently touting, and the "four power forwards" The most popular of the "big shooting guards" will all enter the All-Stars of this season. It is foreseeable that the league will soon enter the situation of a group of heroes.

At the same time, this season's East and West All-Star head coach has not been determined until now. The battle for the first place in the Eastern Conference between the Eastern 76ers and the Bucks has reached a fierce state. The gap between the two teams has always been within one game. There are still 3 games before the All-Star Game. This time, the All-Star head coach of the East is George Karl or Larry Brown. It depends on the last 3 games.The candidates for the All-Star All-Star head coach in the West are basically the same as those in the East. At present, the two teams with the best records in the West, the Trail Blazers and the Kings, have already led the Lakers and Spurs behind them by several wins. The star coach will also be produced between Mike Dunville and Adelman.

After returning to San Antonio, the first thing Meng Xu did after returning to the apartment was to enter the system space. Because of winning the All-Star ticket champion, Meng Xu once again won a milestone award. After collecting data for such a long time, Meng Xu's hard work has finally paid off. Meng Xu's points have now exceeded 3000 points. He can go to the advanced training center to try it out and learn a ball-handling skill that he has always dreamed of. up.

In the 43 games that have ended this season, Meng Xu played a total of 37 games, averaging 16.7 points, 8.3 rebounds, 9 assists, 3.3 steals, and 1.7 blocks. In half a season, he scored 7 triple-doubles, so Meng Xu was called the next Grant Hill by some media, but when he thought of Grant Hill's tragic experience in his career, Meng Xu sighed. I hope that I will not be jealous of talents like Hill and Hardaway.At the same time, Meng Xu and Duncan are now also called the "Wake Forest Duo" by the American media. What's more exaggerated is that Wake Forest University is said to be considering retiring Meng Xu's No. 3 jersey. The players from Wake Forest, Meng Xu and Duncan are the only two Wake Forest players who have won the NBA championship, but Meng Xu would blush unconsciously when he thought of the past of sitting on the bench in Wake Forest .

However, Meng Xu has been criticized in some places now, even being pulled out and whipped by those Meng Hei people day after day.After switching to point guard, Meng Xu's ball possession time is getting longer and longer, but due to the lack of ball-handling skills support, and Meng Xu himself is not a talented player, so Meng Xu's average The number of turnovers was as high as 4.7 times, and the assist-to-turnover ratio reached 2 to 1. Both statistics are the worst among all point guards in the league.Therefore, after having enough points, Meng Xu is now very eager to learn a ball-handling skill.

However, after Meng Xu entered the system space, he hesitated. Summoning a legendary star requires 500 points for an hour, but a B-level skill only needs 2000 points. If the summoned star cannot learn A-level skills , then my efforts in the past two months will be in vain.

"I didn't expect you to look forward and backward." Seeing Meng Xu stretching out his fingers and counting back and forth, Anna, who had appeared behind Meng Xu at some point, sent her most ruthless ridicule to Meng Xu.

"Forget it, let's try it." Rolling his eyes at Anna, Meng Xu finally decided to summon a legendary star in the advanced training center. At the same time, just to be on the safe side, Meng Xu only spent 1000 points to summon him. two hours.The legendary star Meng Xu summoned this time is Jordan's mortal enemy, the greatest point guard in the history of the Pistons, Isaiah Thomas.

Although compared with Thomas, Magic Johnson's height is more similar to Meng Xu's, but when he saw that Magic Johnson's ball handling skills were only B-level, Meng Xu gave up his plan to summon Magic Johnson and finally chose With fingertip dribbling, one of the strongest ball-handling skills, Thomas the smiling assassin.

"Boy, your basic ball-handling attributes are very good, but because of your height, your physical coordination when handling the ball is very poor, so it is easy to be intercepted by others in the game, or make a mistake in the press. "So many points are really not in vain. After Meng Xu just dribbled the ball in accordance with Thomas' request, Thomas, who was still smiling, immediately pulled his face down, and pointed out that Meng Xu was dribbling. insufficient.

Meng Xu is also very clear about what Thomas said. Due to his height, Meng Xu will deliberately lower his body's center of gravity when dribbling, especially when changing directions and breaking through, but Meng Xu has no guards. The player's ball-handling feel makes it easy to make mistakes when encountering a small defender pressing.

"Let me teach you today, what is real ball control." Taking the basketball from Meng Xu's hand, Thomas began to show Meng Xu his famous stunt, dribbling with his fingertips, which is like hitting the street. The ball-like fancy dribbling, combined with Thomas' excellent sense of basketball control, also made Meng Xu fascinated. In Thomas' hands, the basketball seemed to be a part of his body, and he was at his disposal.Watching Thomas show off his skills on the field, Meng Xu rushed forward unconsciously, wanting to have a one-on-one match with Thomas, but what surprised Meng Xu was that with Meng Xu's current defensive ability, he was able to fight against Thomas. Helpless, knowing that Thomas was going to change direction from the left side of his body, he could only watch as Thomas dribbled the ball under his arm, especially when the side of his body was almost touching the ground, and at the same time he controlled the basketball very well. The low breakthrough made it impossible for Meng Xu to guard against it.

"This guy should be the best combination of dribbling and breakthrough in NBA history." After the one-on-one with Thomas, Meng Xu stood on the sidelines and stared blankly at Thomas not far away. .

"Ding, the 2-hour advanced training time is over, the host has gained 2 points of agility attribute, 2 points of breakthrough attribute, congratulations to the host for obtaining A-level ball control skills, fingertip dribble." When the system's prompt sounded, Meng who was still in a daze just now Xu jumped up excitedly.

"It's really good to lose one's life. You can step on dog shit every time." Anna, who originally wanted to ridicule Meng Xu, had to leave resentfully.

"My shortcoming is the same now. Let's see if you will criticize me for my poor ball control and many mistakes." After adding all the remaining skill points to fingertip dribbling, Meng Xu also squeezed his chin, With a smirk on his face, he wondered if those sunspots would drop their jaws in shock when he used Thomas' stunt in the next match.

Thank you for the two monthly tickets of the obedient little Pippi, thank you.
