Standing pretty old

Chapter 873 Drooling all over the sky, Sterling suddenly happened

The Sterling incident did not occur at the beginning of the All-Star Weekend. At this time, whether it is the official NBA media or various media that have no integrity for ratings, the focus of attention is still on the NBA players' war of words.

The influence of the two wars of words is quite large.

One of the causes was as early as September before the start of the 13-14 season.

At that time, "Sports Illustrated" ranked the current NBA stars.

But Durant has different opinions on the latest list of TOP10 NBA players for the new season selected by Sports Illustrated.

Although he didn't give a personal reason, he believes that former teammate James Harden, who first played for the Rockets, should replace the No. 8 Wade.

Obviously, Durant's introduction caused D. Wade's dissatisfaction.

Cheek posted a post on his Instagram account tonight local time as evidence: "On September 2013, 9, Kevin Durant said that James Harden should replace me in the TOP 24. Let him respect you again place in history."

A sentence was added next to it: "If you don't believe me, just wait and see!"

As a result, Durant did not show any weakness, and he immediately responded on his Twitter: "Don't just tweet, prove it to me!
Due to the existence of Ruan Erniu, although D. Wade failed to successfully compete with James for the championship, this man is the FMVP and championship owner after all.

It's true that Harden's rise is fast, but judging from his achievements at the time, it shouldn't be a big problem to rank his cheeks ahead of Harden.

But having said that, Harden's failure to be selected into the top ten active players is indeed a bit unfair to Beard.

And in terms of attitude, Beard's performance in this All-Star interview also seemed much more mature than those two superstars who were fighting each other.

"I don't even know who's on that ranking," Harden said. Leave it to you media to discuss."

Well, the emotional intelligence of the Uchiha clan must not be underestimated.

It is also worth mentioning that the giant tarantula and the gills once staged a fierce confrontation in the commercial of a famous sports drink Gatorade.

Therefore, American fans call this a real continuation of the "dream within a dream" story.

Of course, some fans said that it is meaningless to argue for the position of 8-10, because the active No.1 has no suspense at all, and the man sitting at the top has not said anything!
The annoying Ruan Erniu, who was being questioned by various media, had to stand up and fight at the end: "James (Harden) and D. Wade are both top-notch players in the league. represent themselves.

Players have to use their performance on the court to speak, and I think the audience will have their own judgment. "

Big media such as ESPN and TNT still broadcast the truth, but the tabloids have no integrity at all. All kinds of pictures + text, anyway, it seems that Kraft Ruan’s king is contemptuous, as if mocking a group of losers .

Speaking of influence, although Event [-] was not as protracted as Event [-], it lost to the latter in terms of topicality.

The cause of this incident was that LeBron James gave the NBA a "President Hill" ranking during an interview.

As soon as the news came out, it immediately sparked widespread controversy.

From the perspective of the active second player who led the team to the finals for two consecutive seasons but lost to the Clippers twice, the four major stars in NBA history in his mind are Michael Jordan, Larry Bird, and Magic Johnson. , Oscar Robertson.

It is said that there are only four presidents, but in this way, many celebrities who did not make it into the top four are impatient.

The Lord of the Rings "thanks" LeBron for not putting himself in the top four in history in a sarcastic tone.

In fact, there are many famous players in the NBA, and not one or two have won many championships. Excluding anyone from President Hill is prone to huge controversy.

Kobe also taunted in an interview: "Mount Rushmore?

You have to understand, I grew up in Italy, so I actually had no idea how many presidents there were on that Mount Rushmore! "

Let’s re-popularize the common sense of the United States. Mount Rushmore is the President’s Hill. This is actually a Memorial Park for the President of the United States of America located near Keystone, South Dakota, USA.

There are four 60-foot-high heads of former American presidents in the park, which are the four greatest presidents in American history: George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, and Abraham Lincoln.

The prototypes of the first four Hokage statues in Konoha Village also came from here.

Of course, it is impossible for Kobe not to know that there are only four people on President Hill.

In the subsequent interview, he announced his answer. Jordan, Bird, and Magician undoubtedly entered the top four, but the remaining position, Mamba did not leave it to Big O, but chose Lord of the Rings .

After that, Kobe emphasized that this kind of selection cannot be rated as the top four or top five at all, because there are unique superstars in every era in the NBA, and it is unfair to ignore anyone.

Kobe said: "It's impossible and unfair to only pick 4 people (as the greatest players), man,"

Perhaps because he felt that his words were not satisfactory enough, Kobe finally said that Kareem Abdul-Jabbar should also be elected to the Presidential Hill.

Well, just didn't mention O'Neill!
However, some fans still expressed dissatisfaction, because Kraft Nguyen, who is No.1 in the league and already holds 5 championship rings, was ignored.

Fortunately, Erniu's attitude towards this is relatively peaceful, and he doesn't complain too much.

It is said that he is a foreigner and not a citizen of the United States. Even if his strength is really superior, he cannot enter "President Hill".

The tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop. If he doesn't speak, it doesn't mean that no one speaks for him.

Jon Jonson and CP3, two teammates who have worked with Er Niu successively, stood up and said: "Kraft will definitely be in the top four. There is no reason for such an epoch-making great player to be excluded!"

The war of words will never end, because where there are people, there are rivers and lakes.

Back to the All-Star Weekend, let's talk about the Rookie Challenge first.

Barkley and O'Neal, the two fat guys finally didn't come out to pollute the eyes of the fans.

The league did a big thing this year, letting Grant Hill and Chris Webber be the head coaches of the rookie game.

While the appearance is rising rapidly, the level of competition does not mean to decline.

Anyway, it's an exhibition game, so it won't be too ugly to catch dunks when you have time.

In the end, Team Hill defeated Team Webb 142:136 to win the Rookie Challenge.

The "Zhuang Shen" of the Hill team-Andre Drummond also won the MVP with 30 points and 25 rebounds.

The data obtained by the second-year Zhuang Shen at this time is good enough in the eyes of most people, but the premise is that there is no such terrifying ruler as Ruan Erniu.

Because as early as the rookie season, Er Niu scored 34 points, 22 rebounds, and 22 assists when he participated in the Rookie Challenge for the first time.

There is no way for people to survive, why are there Kafu Ruan everywhere.

Even American fans found out in despair that as long as the Trisolarans don't attack the earth, the bull's rule over the NBA will never end.

The competition on the first day ended successfully, and the individual competition continued on the next day.

The rules of the skills competition have been changed again this year. This time, instead of participating solo, it is a team confrontation. According to the future MOBA games, it should be called double row and open black.

In the end, Lillard of the Trail Blazers and Burke of the Jazz had the last laugh, defeating the eastern rookie combination McAway and Oladipo by 0.1 seconds, and successfully won the championship of the skills competition.

In the three-point match, Ruan Erniu, who participated in this event for the second time in his career, once again reached the top and successfully defended his title against Irving, Love, Bill, Belinelli and many other players.

This is the sixth player in the history of the three-point contest to complete the record of winning consecutive championships. In front of Er Niu, only Larry Bird and Craig Hodges, who have three consecutive three-pointers, are left.

But unexpectedly, Er Niu made it clear after the game that he would withdraw from the three-point contest.

In Er Niu's mind, three-pointers are just one of many offensive weapons, even though he holds a lot of single-game three-pointer records.

The slam dunk contest that attracts the most attention is of course. From the viewing point of view, although the star level of this year's slam dunk contest is not top-notch, but from the scene, it is indeed picturesque.

John Wall and Paul George made it to the finals. As a result, Jon Wall won the favor of the fans by relying on the mascot's flying mascot to dunk the bar in the air. "Slam Dunk King".

There are talented people from generation to generation. Although this year's All-Star Game is full of drool, the scene is really exciting.

After the individual events ended, it was finally the finale of the All-Star Weekend—the All-Star Game.

Before the start of the game, the most attractive thing is the jerseys of this year's All-Stars.

It has a sense of technology and looks like a future fighter. The logo on the chest is also very dazzling. At least in Erniu's personal opinion, this is the most brilliant All-Star jersey in the past few years.

The starting lineups of the East and West have changed dramatically again:

In the East, Irving, Wade, George, LeBron, and Anthony became the starters.

You read that right, there is no center forward, and three capable forwards form the eastern frontcourt. Blake Griffin's personal performance is not bad, but limited by the record of the Hawks, he had to be arranged as a substitute.

In the West, Curry, Harden, Durant, Ruan Erniu, and Love became the starters. From a reasonable perspective of the lineup, it is much more reliable than the East.

Er Niu and Love are both experienced and short insiders, and they both play positions they are familiar with.

Paul's decline in popularity is surprising, but Stephen Curry's average data is better than CP3.

It would be a joke to say that the alliance did nothing wrong. Not to mention Er Niu became the king of the votes for granted, but relying on the big ticket warehouse of the Celestial Dynasty alone failed to make Sanpao kill the elementary school students. It was almost telling everyone that the alliance was to favor newcomers.

Due to the absence of a center forward, the pace of the game between the two sides has become quite fast. Sometimes they can even play 1 or 5 offensive and defensive transitions within 6 minute. The various fancy performances on the sidelines are dizzying.

In order to increase the fun, during the intermission of the first quarter, the league also specially arranged for "Magic" Johnson to organize all the stars to sing birthday songs for Bill Russell, and the participating all-stars also sent birthdays to Lord of the Rings in turn. bless.

Among them, it naturally includes LeBron James who did not put Wang Wang on the Presidential Hill.

Say a thousand words and ten thousand, and the historical status is made!
The offensive battle continued until the last quarter, and the Western All-Star team led by Ruan Erniu and Durant maintained a slight advantage.

At the critical moment, Irving stepped forward and scored consecutive points in the last 3 minutes to overtake the score.

However, Ruan Erniu went into a runaway state since then, and on the basis of protecting the backcourt rebounds, he scored two unreasonable ultra-long-range three-pointers in a row.

They were all decisive kills completed one step before the middle circle when the offense and defense were switched.

165:163, the Western All-Stars defeated the Eastern Conference for the fourth consecutive year and won the All-Star Game.

Ruan Erniu, who scored 44 points and 33 rebounds, won the AMVP trophy for the 4th time in his career, thereby surpassing Michael Jordan and tying the ancient legend Bob Petty who also won 4 times Special, shoulder to shoulder to become the No.1 in history.

Ruan Erniu didn't have much humility after the game. He said with a smile: "If I have the chance, I definitely want to be the unique one."

Well, Erniu didn't expect at this time that he won the AMVP for the fifth time in his career, but he was several seasons late.

However, there is nothing to regret, because his championship ring has already been dissatisfied with one hand.

Before the Clippers players who successfully completed the All-Star Weekend could return to Los Angeles, Er Niu received a call from Ouyang Haotian at the airport.

"You haven't returned to Los Angeles yet, something serious happened to you!" Ouyang Haotian said.

"Don't be a joke, Steven, talk about something!" Er Niu said.

"Do you still need me to tell you? Check it out on your mobile phone, Donald Sterling was fucked!" Ouyang Haotian laughed.

As soon as Er Niu heard this, he immediately hung up the phone and turned on the phone. As a result, the screen was full of news exposed by Sterling's recording.

A gossip media called "TMZ" exposed the recording of Sterling's racially discriminatory remarks.

In the recording, Sterling hoped that his girlfriend would not bring black people to the Clippers Arena, and lost his temper because she posted a photo with "Magic" Johnson on social media.

The red line of racial discrimination is naturally untouchable, but this is not the first time Sterling has made a mistake.

David Stern also raised it high before, but put it down gently. Could it be that after Xiao Hua came to power, he can really attack the capitalists of the alliance?

After returning to Los Angeles, Er Niu, who didn't think so, fully understood that this time it was really not a casual talk.Because judging from the scene, Donald Sterling has already been pushed down by everyone.

On the following day, the league's big-name players spoke out first.

Kobe said that he would not play for Sterling; LeBron James also voiced his boycott of Sterling, saying "If I am playing for Sterling, then I will choose to strike."

Earl Lloyd, the first black player in NBA history, came out and blasted Sterling as a "fool".

Adam Silver, who has taken over as president, has publicly stated that facts will be gathered and investigated "quickly".

"We plan to investigate this matter quickly, because from my personal point of view, this situation is very unfair to the Clippers coaches and players." Silver said at the press conference.

Okay, the Clippers' head coach and players haven't said a word yet!
