Legendary star

Chapter 814 Eternal Memory

At around 2013:2 pm on February 18, 7, the dinner of the All-Star Weekend, the 62nd All-Star Game is about to kick off at the Toyota Center in Houston. Under the tide of NBA globalization, the NBA All-Star Game has become the only one After the finals, the NBA's most influential event, taking this year's All-Star Weekend as an example, the All-Star Game, which will kick off tonight, will be broadcast to 215 countries around the world through NBATV, TNT and ESPN. Live broadcast with hundreds of millions of fans and viewers in the region.

This year's All-Star Game not only changed when voting, but Huaguo, which has the largest number of fans and second only to the United States in market size, has also become a beneficiary of this reform and signed a long-term broadcast agreement with the NBA. The Penguin Video has obtained the right to vote for the All-Star MVP and the Slam Dunk Contest champion. All viewers who watch the All-Star through Penguin Video can enter the All-Star voting interface through Penguin Video. Starting from this year’s All-Star Weekend, all Both the star MVP and dunk contest will increase audience voting.

This reform of the NBA also fully reflects the success of NBA globalization. According to conservative estimates, the upcoming All-Star Game will attract at least 4 million viewers around the world. There was some controversy, that is, the audience voted for the All-Star MVP, because according to the previous practice, the player with the highest score in the winning side of the All-Star Game will be elected as the star of the night, but now the audience vote is added , Audience votes will basically vote for their favorite stars, so it is easy to break the previous practice. If there is a player on the losing side, or a player who performs poorly and wins the All-Star MVP, it will be funny.

Compared with last season's All-Star game, this season's Western Conference All-Star starters have changed a lot. Meng Xu, who came back after four years, was elected as this season's No. 2 Duncan by 110 million votes. In addition to Meng Xu, Tim Duncan, who has missed the All-Star for two seasons, was also selected as the Western Conference All-Star starter this season with the second most votes after Meng Xu. Apart from Xu and Duncan, the remaining three starters in the West are still Kevin Durant, Kobe Bryant and Chris Paul.

As for the Eastern Conference, the biggest change this season is Dwight Howard's Westward Journey and Derrick Rose's absence due to injury. Jane Rondo, also unable to attend this season's All-Star Game due to injuries, eventually Chris Bosh replaced Rajon Rondo's starting position, and LeBron James, Dwyane Wayne Germany, Kevin Garnett, and Carmelo Anthony were selected as starters for the Eastern Conference All-Stars this season.

Judging from the starting lineups of both sides, the Western All-Stars undoubtedly have the advantage. Kevin Garnett's performance continued to decline this season. With Garnett's data and performance this season, it is difficult to be selected as an All-Star, and the backcourt composed of Dwyane Wade and Carmelo Anthony is also difficult to take advantage of Kobe and Paul. Of the five starters in the East, at least three positions are at a disadvantage against the All-Stars in the West.

Unlike LeBron James VS Kevin Durant during the All-Star season last season, in this season's All-Star game, everyone's focus will undoubtedly be on the Wake Forest duo and the Heat's Big Three. The All-Star Game is the first time since the Big Three of the Heat formed a team. The three were selected as the All-Stars at the same time as the starters. The collision between the new and the old between the Wake Timberwolves will undoubtedly spark many sparks.

Since there are no heavyweight stars in the host Rockets, and this year is the first time that the two heroes of Wake Forest have met after 12 years, most of the Western Conference All-Star players have reached their goals before the start of the All-Star Weekend. There is a tacit understanding and consensus, just like the All-Stars in the 09 season, all the Western All-Stars praised Kobe and O'Neal. On the stage, there was a beautiful talk about a smile and a grudge.

Therefore, after the start of the game, the All-Stars in the Western Conference, whether it was Kobe, Durant or Paul, played for Meng Xu and Duncan at every opportunity. The 6 consecutive offenses after the opening were all played by Meng Xu and Duncan. What Duncan has done, especially Meng Xu and Duncan's primary school brother Chris Paul, are constantly threading needles and are more active than their own affairs.

The Eastern All-Stars are basically playing around the Big Three of the Heat. Kevin Garnett, who is still injured, can paddle whenever he can on the court. Anyway, the Eastern All-Stars don’t need him. To score, and the current playoff situation of the Celtics is not very clear. After the end of the All-Star Weekend, Garnett will go back and lead the Celtics to fight for the playoffs, so Garnett Now it is also possible to save a little energy and save a little energy.

In the first three quarters, whether it was the All-Stars in the West or the All-Stars in the East, they played relatively easily. All kinds of dunks full of performances were flying all over the sky. Connections, Chris Paul's coquettish passes, and wonderful lob dunks continued to be staged.

After the official timeout of the fourth quarter, the two sides began to fight with real knives and guns. Before the starting players of both sides came on the field, the Western Conference All-Stars trailed by 118 points 121 to 3. After the starting players of both sides came on the field, Meng Xu First he made a three-pointer to tie the score, and then assisted Duncan to make a shot to help the Western All-Stars overtake the score. After the score was overtaken, the two sides began to enter the stage of tug-of-war. You score a goal and I return a goal. The game scene lasted until less than 2 minutes left in the game. Chris Paul succeeded in stealing the ball twice in a row. The Western All-Stars used two counterattacks to completely open the score. The Eastern All-Stars had no choice but to Foul tactics began to be implemented, and finally after Paul George and Carmelo Anthony missed three-pointers successively, the Western Conference All-Stars sealed the victory 146 to 139.

Meng Xu scored 29 points, 8 rebounds, and 8 assists in the game, and Tim Duncan scored 22 points and 17 rebounds. Finally, Meng Xu and Duncan were jointly elected as the All-Star MVP of this season after voting by fans all over the world.

"Congratulations, Meng, congratulations, Tim, congratulations on being elected as the star of the night!" After the announcement of the selection results, NBA Commissioner David Stern took out a prepared in advance, The All-Star MVP trophy with the names of Meng Xu and Duncan engraved on it was handed over to Meng Xu and Duncan.

Without too many words, Meng Xu and Duncan just looked at each other and smiled, and then jointly raised this special All-Star MVP trophy, and this moment will also become an eternal classic scene in the NBA All-Star Game!
