In addition to the All-Star Three-Point Contest, as well as the All-Star Skills Contest and All-Star Mixed Contest that have only been added in recent seasons A shooting contest will also be held today.

The first thing to do is the All-Star Three-Point Contest. After Meng Xu won three championships, the All-Star Three-Point Contest resumed the previous situation of taking turns. Peja Stojakovic, Voshan Leonard, Quentin Richardson, successively crowned as the All-Star three-point champion, finally in this year's All-Star three-point contest, Dirk Nowitzki, who has been with him for many seasons, finally got his wish and defeated in the final Ray Allen, and Gilbert Arenas, raised the trophy symbolizing the championship of the All-Star Three-Point Contest.

After the three-point contest is the All-Star Skills Contest. This year's All-Star Skills Contest has an extremely strong lineup. In addition to the defending champion Steve Nash, there are LeBron James, Dwyane Wade And Chris Paul three.Originally, it was expected before the game that there were Steve Nash and Chris Paul, and LeBron James and Dwyane Wade must play the role of accompanying the prince to study, but in the first round of preliminaries, LeBron James and Dwyane Wade delivered outstanding results of 40.5 seconds and 39 seconds respectively, eliminating defending champions Steve Nash and Chris Paul to advance to the finals. Wynn Wade won this year's All-Star Skills Championship with a record time of 26.1 seconds.

The All-Star Mixed Shooting Game was held after the Skills Contest. In order to create more gimmicks and attract more attention, the NBA started with the All-Star Game in 04 and added an all-star game on the second day of the All-Star Weekend. In the All-Star Mixed Shooting Contest, each participating team will send an active player, a famous player in team history, and a special guest from the WNBA. So much for it, and the San Antonio Spurs, featuring Tony Parker, Steve Kerr, and WNBA Silver Star forward Kendra Wick, beat the Rockets, Suns, and Lakers in this year's All-Star Shootout , won the final championship.

After the appetizers were over, the main meal on the second day of the All-Star Weekend slowly appeared, although after Vince Carter, Meng Xu and others withdrew from the All-Star Slam Dunk Contest one after another, the slam dunk contest was not as exciting as it was every year It's been a year, but the All-Star Slam Dunk Contest is still like a magnet full of magnetism, tightly attracting the attention of almost all fans.

"Where did Allen go?" Amid the enthusiastic cheers of the fans, all four players participating in the dunk contest appeared one after another. However, while applauding, Meng Xu found that Allen Iverson was sitting behind him. disappeared.

"Allen answered the phone just now, and then left quietly." Mai Di, who was sitting next to Meng Xu, said while applauding.

"It should be to cooperate with Andre in the game for a while! But seeing Allen's expression is a little flustered, maybe it's because of other things." After McGrady finished speaking, Ke Bryant also interjected Mouth.

"Is it true that something big will happen as Rick said?" After listening to what McGrady and Kobe said, Meng Xu recalled what Rick Carlisle said to himself last night.

The All-Star Weekend is a grand event for all basketball fans, reporters and media. Similarly, the All-Star Weekend is also an excellent opportunity for the management of each team in the league. It’s a perfect opportunity for everyone to sit together and discuss trades. It’s really appropriate to take advantage of the fire. Almost every season after the All-Star Weekend, there will be big deals. Of course, this season’s All-Star Weekend is not There will be exceptions. As the head coach of the Pacers, Rick Carlisle must have heard something. It is said that the general manager of the Pacers, Kevin Pritchard, also rushed to Houston early this morning.

"Could it be related to Allen?" Recalling what Rick Carlisle said to himself, he looked at Allen Iver, who had appeared beside Andre Iguodala, but was obviously a little disturbed. Sen, Meng Xu has to wonder, is the 76ers going to make a big move, trading Allen Iverson?As soon as this idea came up, Meng Xu shook his head and vetoed it. The management of the 76ers is definitely not as good as the management of the Magic and Raptors. Although Allen Iverson's performance in leading the team in recent seasons is not very good The same, but Allen Iverson's appeal is still very strong. Even from the perspective of selling tickets, the 76ers will not easily trade Allen Iverson.

With all kinds of speculation, Meng Xu didn't even bother to watch the wonderful All-Star Slam Dunk Contest. Compared with last year's slightly dull dunk contest, the level of this year's Slam Dunk Contest has obviously improved a lot. The two players who reached the finals, regardless of Whether it was Andre Iguodala or Nate Robinson, both contributed two perfect dunks.

Nate Robinson's 180-degree dunk on a touchdown rebound in the preliminaries, and the dunk after the jumping potato Spotter Webber in the finals, and Andre Iguodala's post-up from behind the backboard The dunk, and the slam dunk with the ball under the crotch are extremely exciting. Perhaps the dunks of Andre Iguodala and Nate Robinson are too exciting. After the completion of the two rounds of dunks in the finals, the two It was evenly divided. Finally, after a round of overtime, Nate Robinson beat Andre Iguodala to win this year's All-Star Dunk King. Nate Robinson, who is only 1 meters tall, is called Another short dunk king after the little potato Spotter Webb.

"Meng, Chris Webber is going to the 76ers." After the slam dunk contest, Meng Xu received a call from Rick Carlisle. The big thing Rick Carlisle said was close to being settled. The record this season has always been unsatisfactory, so the Sacramento Kings, who have no hope of the playoffs, are ready to rebuild ahead of schedule. After Peja Stojakovic, the Kings who have fought for the Kings for 8 seasons Reece Webber will also be sent away by the team. The NBA is a business field that is fully reflected at this moment. For the Kings who have decided to rebuild, Chris Webber has 3 years left on his contract of nearly 6000 million US dollars. A very huge burden.
