NBA: Magic Johnson opens the season, crowned MOP

February 17, Toyota Center.

The morning events were individual events, namely Shooting Star, Skills Challenge, Three-Point Contest and Slam Dunk Contest.

Joey drove to a famous hotel in Houston, picked up Elizabeth Olsen, and then quickly entered the Toyota Center.

The first individual event today was"Shooting Star".

The rules of this event have also been reformed this year. In the past, teams were organized to participate, but this year it was changed to the East and West.

In the end, Chris Bosh, the former Dragon King and current non-famous CBA player on the South Coast, led the East to defeat the West led by Westbrook and won successfully.

(But the West did not have a big chance of winning, after all, it was Westbrook who led the team, and the dog head saved his life)

Bosh also won this year's"Shooting Star" award.

Then came the"Skills Challenge", and Tony Parker, one of the three drivers of the Spurs GDP, also signed up for this event.

Although the French sports car, which was the champion of this event last year, was just a"playing ticket", its main purpose was actually to spread the"mystery" of the Spanish Catholic Church to the female"fruit plate workers" in Houston."……

But Joey, Leonard and Duncan actually appeared together in the VIP seats in the first row of the sidelines to cheer for them.

"I told you that Joey is a Frenchman at heart!"

"Damn, another Hollywood actress fell into the clutches of the devil……"

As a contestant, Parker had no intention of preparing for the game at the moment. He was wearing warm-up clothes and talking bad about a rookie with Old Stone Buddha on the first row of the bench.

The"No. 21 rookie", who was dressed in work clothes and a peaked cap and looked like a migrant worker, looked worriedly at Joey, who was holding the Rockets No. 11 jersey with a beautiful female star in the distance and asking Yao Ming for an autograph.

"Anthony is right. Joey always makes a fortune quietly. I need to learn more to prevent being cheated in the future.……"

He stared at the pair of perfect couple opposite him with dead eyes and expressionless face, secretly confirming what Davis said to him after the game yesterday.

"But we both have very low-key and dull personalities, so why can't Tim and I always have such good luck?"

"God, you can't be so partial.……"

Leonard was daydreaming when Duncan beside him suddenly sneezed.

The final champion of this Skills Challenge was won by the Trail Blazers' older rookie, Damian Lillard.

He defeated last year's champion, French sports car, Lin Madness from the Houston Rockets host team, and others with a score of 29.8S.

In fact, this event invited Joey to participate in the end of January, but he was not interested in it at all at that time, so he rejected the invitation from the league officials.

So this opportunity was given to Jeremy Lin, who is also a"Chinese" and a player of the host team.

After this event, the three-point contest will be held, which is the third hottest game in the All-Star Weekend every year.

There was a period of rest in the middle, mainly for the staff to adjust the basket and clean the venue.

Joey also took this opportunity to leave Olsen, who had already received Yao Ming's autographed jersey, and find Jeremy Lin who was about to pack up and leave the stadium.

In fact, the two are both of Chinese descent, so they should have a lot of topics and common points, but Joey's body is filled with a"thorough" red son, so the two of them just exchanged a few words.

Then, with the"matchmaking" of domestic media such as Coach Zhang, they accepted an interview together in front of the camera.

During the interview, Joey's fluent Mandarin and the Jiangsu and Zhejiang dialects with a strong local flavor shocked Jeremy Lin, who answered questions in English throughout the interview. After the interview, the latter pulled Joey to exchange contact information.

He also said that they could exchange game experience together, and asked Joey for tips on learning Mandarin.

In this regard, Joey could probably understand his purpose, so he did not refuse.

As the last"backhand" of the league president Mr. Stern to expand the Asian market before his resignation, the two are both opponents and"comrades-in-arms."

After all, the huge domestic basketball market dividend is there. Looking at the NBA, they are the only two who can expand their commercial value by relying on their skin color and ethnic advantages.

………

"Damn it, it must be that brat Joey, he found another female celebrity without telling me, if she has a best friend, that would be great……"

"Yes, it must be him, he affected my state!"

Ignoring the old teammate who failed and became a little weird, Duncan took Leonard to find Joey to discuss how to slack off in the afternoon All-Star Game... ahem... how to save energy.

The three-point contest really interested Joey, after all, yesterday's opponents, Klay Thompson of the Warriors and Kyrie Irving of the Cavaliers, both participated in this event.

In addition to the two of them, there were Paul George, white shooter Novak, anti-aircraft gunner Anderson, and the Warriors' star player, Stephen Curry.

The final champion was very surprising. The Cavaliers' second-year No. 1 pick, Kyrie Irving, successfully won the championship of this three-point contest with 23 points (final).

Kobe, who came to the scene And Kevin Love, the champion of the last three-point contest, who was on crutches, came on the court to present the trophy to Irving.

Seeing the smug look on Owen's face at the moment, Joey off the court couldn't help but complain in his heart:

After spending the past few days together, Kyrie doesn't look like a man who escaped from Arkham Asylum? He looks very normal, doesn't he?

Little did he know that in the eyes of Irving, who was the center of attention at the moment, Joey, who was applauding off the court, had become a member of his Arkham Project...

Before the dunk contest, Joey received a call from Bill Duffy.

After hurriedly hanging up the phone, Duncan, Parker and the other two were about to ask what happened.

Joey, however, looked normal, and after briefly explaining the reason to a few people, he left the stadium.

Olsen looked at Joey's departing back, thoughtfully.

——————

While the All-Stars are in full swing, the league's trading market has also reached its hottest stage in the last few days before the closing date.

The conflict between the Hawks'"Hawk King" Josh Smith and the management has become increasingly intensified. The Hawks management is planning a three-way or even four-way big deal in order to exchange for a large number of draft picks for reconstruction.

However, Josh Smith's thorny nature is also recognized by the league teams, and there are not many teams that dare to take over. For some championship teams, this Hawk King is a bit"useless", and the locker room must find a respected player to suppress him, otherwise there may be a few fights in the team before the game is played...

Ronnie Brewer, the Big Apple's guard, has just played the most efficient season of his career. The Oklahoma City Thunder and the Spurs are both interested in trading for this"defensive stalwart."

Boston's back line is extremely weak this season due to the consecutive injuries of Rondo and the Brazilian Flash. The management has recently been planning an operation to strengthen the outside line.

………

Joey's name also appeared in these trade messages.

According to the famous reporter WOJ, the boss of the New York Knicks was very dissatisfied with the team's privileges within the team (i.e. various requests during the injury process) of"Little Overlord" Stoudemire, and asked the management to use Little Overlord as the main body of the transaction to trade for Joey, the rookie who has performed well in the Spurs and has performed the best so far this season.

He believes that the team's front line needs a big outside player who can attack and defend well. It just so happens that Joey, who scored"40+" for the first time in his career and led the team to win at Madison Square Garden not long ago, meets his requirements.

After careful consideration, the management also agreed to this transaction. Although the value of Joey and Little Overlord is not equal at this stage, the latter has been repeatedly injured in his peak season due to injuries, while Joey's advantage is youth and unlimited potential. The all-around data of"16+8+5+2+1" before the All-Star Game scratched him as the"Magician" of the new era.

Once again, it must be an organizationally enhanced version."AK—47".

When Gua Ge retires from the throne of New York in the future, Joey can perfectly take over and become the new"King of New York"!

Therefore, the current general manager of the Knicks, Donnie Walsh, took Stoudemire as the main body of the transaction, and was willing to attach the Knicks' lottery protected pick this summer and two first-round protected picks next year to make a formal offer to the Spurs management - requesting to trade Joey, the third pick selected by the Spurs last year, and Danny Green, the emperor who played"12+4+2" this season.

They saw the"lack" of firepower in the Spurs' interior, and Tim Duncan could not support it alone, so they took Stoudemire, the little bully who is known as"the strongest power forward with explosive scoring ability", as the main body of the transaction.

"In their opinion, Popovich would never refuse this good opportunity to"win the championship immediately"
