The Fifth Point Guard

　　 This year's Atlanta All-Star Weekend will run from February 9th to February 10th, a total of two days.

　　 The first day's programs include Rookie Challenge, Skills Challenge, three-on-three exhibition match, three-point shooting contest, and slam dunk contest.

　　 After the rich appetizers, the All-Star Game of the All-Star Weekend dinner will kick off the next day, and there will be an All-Star celebration after the game.

　　......

　　 After the NBA All-Star Game's starting lineup was hotly released, the substitute list was quickly produced.

　　 On January 28, 2003, 29 NBA coaches voted for 7 substitute players for each of the Eastern and Western parts of the All-Star Game.

　　The high-profile Michael Jordan was selected to the All-Star for the 14th time with his strong influence.

　　 Karl Malone lost the election for the first time since 1987.

　　 Jordan has confirmed before the All-Star Game that this will be the last season of his career.

　　Such a result can’t help but be embarrassing. In 1998, the Bulls played against the Jazz in the dark and dark finals, as if it were yesterday.

　　 Years make people grow old.

　　 The Yangtze River rolls eastward and dies.

　　 The gears of history cruelly ran over the glorious era of those stars.

　　 In addition, the players who missed the game were Jason Stackhouse and Jalen Rose.

　　......

The Eastern Conference's bench is ultimately composed of Washington Wizards' Jordan, Nets' Jason Kidd, Celtics' twin stars Pierce and Walker, Pacers' Miller, Cavaliers' Ilgeskas, and Hornets. The team's Marshburn formed together.

　　 Among them, the 2.21m Lithuanian team center Ilgoskas was selected as an All-Star for the first time in his career.

　　 This season, the big Z, who is firmly in the team's starting lineup, has averaged 17.2 points, 7.5 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.9 blocks per game, and his performance is very impressive.

　　 The current boss of the Cavaliers, Ricky Davis, was not selected, but the big Z won the favor of all coaches in the East.

　　 Among them, the birth of Yao Ming, who is 2.26 meters tall, has also allowed Ilgeskas, who is also above 2.20 meters tall, to regain everyone's attention and scrutiny.

　　 On the offensive end, Big Z can either force an attack, or make a layup by dangling the opponent through realistic fake moves. His low singles and high jumpers are the Cavaliers' offensive weapons. When the first offensive point-Ricky Davis's offense is blocked, Big Z can rely on his height and technical advantages for the team's offense. Open the situation.

On the defensive end, Big Z's defensive skills are still praised. He relies on his own field experience to make up for his own physical weakness. The only regret is that due to physical problems, his lateral movement and defense can be described as heart. He has more than enough strength, and his natural muscle type is destined to be not the kind of strong man who can fight his opponents inside.

　　 Like his predecessor Sabonis, Big Z is a typical European center player with long-range attack ability, high basketball IQ, and able to use physical confrontation reasonably. Big Z's full benefit from his early training in Lithuania. As a teenager, he played as a point guard, then as a small forward, and finally moved to the center position. The fly in the ointment is that his assist ability is far inferior to Sabonis, and his defensive ability is insufficient.

　　......

　　 The bench for the Western Conference consists of O'Neal of the Lakers, Marbury and Marion of the Suns, Nowitzki and Nash of the Mavericks, Payton of the Sonics and Webber of the Kings.

　　 There are many fans complaining about the Kings.

　　The record ranked first in the Western Conference. Peja Stojakovic and Mike Bibby both played an eye-catching season, but missed the All-Star, which is puzzling.

　　 But there is no way. The selection of substitute players is not based on the votes of the fans, but the choices of the coaches.

　　......

Jordan, who was selected for the first 13 All-Stars, was the main starting player in the All-Star Game. Although he was shortlisted as a substitute this time, similar to the last All-Star Game, he once again won McGrady's starting qualification to make way with his extraordinary influence. .

　　Although Jordan repeatedly declined his resignation, McGrady said to Jordan that Ron Artest was his buddy, and Jordan was more respectful than his fate.

　　 This selection makes Jordan, Malone, and West rank second in the total number of All-Star selections, only behind "Sky Hook" Kareem Abdul-Jabbar 19 times.

Before the game, there were media reports that Jordan averaged 21.3 points per game in the All-Star Game, the first record in the game's history. At the same time, he was only 10 points behind Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in total points, ranking second in history with 241 points. This game As long as Jordan scores 11 more points, history will be rewritten.

　　 After the full list of the All-Star Game was released, the list of participants for several other events has also been produced.

　　 The most eye-catching is undoubtedly the list of this year's slam dunk contest, because the current league player Balloon Shentong has confirmed that he will participate in this contest.

　　 In addition to Shentong, the Suns’ explosive inside dunker Amare Steadmeier will also participate for the first time.

　　 These two "first brothers" will challenge last year's dunk king Jason Richardson and the previous year's dunk king Mason.

　　 This event was hot before the match, and people were looking forward to what a yellow race from Asia would do in the dunk contest.

　　 Soon after the slam dunk contest list was released, the participants of the three-point shooting contest were officially confirmed.

　　 Last year's three-pointer Wang Shentong did not continue to participate in this event, which also created better conditions for other players to win the championship.

　　 A total of 6 players participated in the three-pointer contest this time.

Peja Stojakovic of the Kings, Antoine Walker of the Celtics, Brent Barry of the Sonics, David Wesley of the Hornets, Wess of the Grizzlies Leigh Person and Pat Garrity of the Magic announced their participation in the three-point contest.

　　 Skills Challenge’s personnel list is on ~www.ltnovel.com~ fans finally saw the name of a Nets player-Jason Kidd.

　　 He will participate in this game with Payton of the Sonics, Parker of the Spurs and Marbury of the Suns.

　　 This skill challenge was also given high expectations by the fans because of the participation of multiple first-line point guards.

　　 In addition, today's NBA Rookie Challenge is very different from previous years because there are a record 6 overseas players shortlisted.

　　 The Grizzlies Spanish center Paul Gasol will lead the Jazz’s Russian forward Kirilenko and the Spurs’ French defender Parker this year to compete with a first-year team composed of rookies such as Yao Ming.

　　 Due to the tight schedule of this All-Star Weekend, it has been determined that Yao Ming, who will participate in the All-Star Game, will "miss" the rookie game on February 9th. Also absent is another Chinese player, Shentong.

　　 However, Richard Jefferson of the Nets will represent the second-year team in this rookie challenge.

　　 Other rookie players include Williams of the Bulls, Butler of the Heat, Gooden of the Grizzlies, Stoudemire of the Suns and Boozer and Wagner of the Cavaliers.

　　 In addition to Gasol and other three international players, the list of other players selected as the second-year team includes Chandler of the Bulls, Jefferson of the Nets and Arenas and Murphy of the Warriors.
