The Fifth Point Guard

Chapter 315: Sico

　　 On February 9, 2003, the NBA All-Star Weekend will be held at the Philips Arena in Atlanta.

　　 According to the first round of the All-Star voting, Shentong has undoubtedly become the hottest star in the league.

　　 With 120,000 votes, he overpowered second-place Kobe and third-place Carter and became the league's top voter!

　　 What makes Chinese fans even more delighted is that Chinese player Yao Ming, who played for the Houston Rockets, even led the Lakers' Shark O’Neal by a narrow margin, ranking first in the Western Conference center's votes!

　　Although O'Neal has recently truce due to injury, the votes may have been affected to a certain extent, but Yao Ming's ability to reach the top spot really surprised most people.

　　 The number of votes for each position in the east and west of this year is relatively concentrated. The current starting list may remain until the end.

　　 According to the current votes, the Western Conference's All-Star starting lineup will be:

　　 Center: Yao Ming (Rockets), forwards: Duncan (Spurs), Garnett (Timberwolves), guards: Kobe (Lakers), Francis (Rockets).

　　 And the Eastern Conference's All-Star starting lineup is:

　　 Center: Wallace (Pistons), Forwards: Carter (Raptors), Tracy McGrady (Timberwolves), Defenders: Shen Tong (Nets), Iverson (76ers).

　　 In addition, Shentong has also received two invitations from the All-Star Weekend Organizing Committee, one for the three-pointer contest and the other for the dunk contest.

　　Since he has basically determined that he will participate in the Rookie Challenge and the All-Star Game, Shentong does not want to accept both invitations.

　　 The champion of the three-pointer contest has already been won. This invitation letter is not very attractive to Shentong. It is the dunk contest. Shentong is interested in trying it.

　　 There has never been a player in history who can win a double championship in the three-pointer contest and the dunk contest at the same time.

　　 Among the current players, Ray Allen is the player closest to this achievement.

　　 In 1997, Ray Allen, who was physically strong, signed up for the dunk contest that year. In the final contest, he unfortunately lost to the last dunk king Kobe by 2 points.

　　 In 2001, Ray Allen signed up for the three-pointer contest and scored ten goals in a row at the end of the game to win the three-pointer contest.

　　Except for Ray Allen, no star has been so close to the double crown in these two games.

　　 The things that no one does, the most challenging things are the most attractive.

　　 Shentong made his own decision and participated in this year's dunk contest.

　　 So, he accepted the invitation to the dunk contest and gave a reply confirming his participation.

　　 Soon, the All-Star Weekend Organizing Committee announced the list of people participating in the Dunk Contest this season.

　　 There are a total of four people, namely Shentong (Nets), Mason (Supersonic), Richardson (Warriors), Stoudemire (Sun).

　　 Richard Jefferson was eager to try, but after hearing that Shentong planned to register for the competition, he immediately dismissed the idea of participating.

　　......

　　 After bombing New York, the Nets returned to the home court, defeating the Hornets 98-84 and defeating the Cavaliers 104-79 to win three consecutive victories.

　　 With a three-game winning streak, the New Jersey Nets headed to Los Angeles to challenge the Los Angeles Lakers without Shaquille O’Neal.

　　 The Lakers have been plagued by injuries this season, perhaps because they covered too many problems during their three consecutive championships.

　　 Since the start of this season, the team has experienced personnel injury problems one after another, which has made it difficult to play a few games with the complete lineup of the past year since the start of the game.

　　 O'Neal’s injury is even more bizarre. His thumb toe was accidentally caught by the door. He has been sitting on the bench for a whole week. It is said that it will take another week before he can play again.

　　 This is a bitter Kobe, leading the Lakers to struggle in the strong West.

　　 Fortunately, the recent Kobe Bryant may have received some stimulation, scoring high points again and again, the Lakers' record has not declined.

　　 After losing O'Neal, the 2.08-meter Ukrainian Stanislav Medvedenko got the chance to start.

The performance of this third-year student was disastrous. Perhaps it was the pressure of the starting line that he could not breathe. His performance on the court was not as good as when he was on the bench, so that when he ran outside to make a pick-and-roll for Kobe, he was caught by the latter. Directly scolded "Get out of the way!".

　　 In addition, Rick Fox is also in a truce due to illness.

　　 Fight during the day and fight at night, even if it is a man who beats iron, he can't hold it!

　　 However, Robert Horry recently returned from injury, and the line of fire rushed to help, and he played well.

　　Today's game, the starting lineup of the Lakers is:

　　 Center: Medvedenko, power forward: Walker, small forward: Horry, shooting guard: Kobe, point guard: Fisher.

　　 The Nets’ starting lineup has also changed from before. Mutombo sprained his index finger during a training session within the team and had to take a truce for two games.

　　 Although he can barely play, but Uncle Mu believes that the bandaged index finger is not lethal when shaking the finger, so he would rather rest for a few days before healed back.

　　 Byron Scott did not reluctantly, after all, the current position of the Nets in the Eastern Conference is almost unshakable.

　　 In this game, the Nets' starting lineup is:

　　 Center: Ewing, power forward: Martin, small forward: Jefferson, shooting guard: Shentong, point guard: Kidd.

　　 Scott did not arrange for the regular center to replace Collins to start, but arranged for Ewing to stimulate the vitality of the veteran.

　　......

　　 Before the game, the basket **** space refreshed a main task.
