The convulsion superstar of basketball

Chapter 244 243. The All-Star Weekend Comes to an End (Ask for a Monthly Ticket)

February 2.

Following the completion of the Rookie Challenge and three-point, dunk and other contests, the league also ushered in the last day of the All-Star Weekend, which was the All-Star Game.

For the upcoming All-Star Game, this is definitely very attractive to fans.

Throughout the All-Star Weekend, what fans most want to see is the performance of the All-Star Game.

Because only in this case, fans can see these big names working together to satisfy their usual fantasies.

This All-Star Weekend is absolutely full for the Magic. First, Su Jiu and Courtney Lee participated in the rookie challenge on the first day.

Then on the second day, Courtney Lee participated in the three-point contest, Howard participated in the slam dunk contest, and finally in the All-Star Game, there will be Howard, Iverson and Su Jiu.

And if Lewis is not accidentally injured, then this also means that the Magic will play four players at the same time in this All-Star Game.

But even though Lewis is currently absent due to injury, the honor of Lewis being selected as an All-Star still counts.

So this year, the Magic also had four players selected for the All-Star Game, shocking the league in one fell swoop.

Before the game started, the commentators at the scene also read out the names one by one, and then the players entered the field according to their names.

And every time the commentator reads a name, the audience at the scene will burst into very warm applause.

After all, being selected for the All-Star game means that this player either has top strength in the league or has top popularity.

But no matter what it is, this represents the player's personal strength. After all, after the league changed the All-Star voting rules, simple voting is no longer enough to send a player to the All-Star team.

While a player has a certain popularity, he must also have a certain strength in the league, so those who can be selected for the All-Star game will definitely not be too bad.

"Let's applaud and welcome, the next Eastern Conference All-Star player, Su~~~~~~"

After the on-site commentator read out Su Jiu's name with a long voice, Su Jiu also raised his hands high, with a faint smile on his face, and then jumped into the arena.

And when Su Jiu entered the arena, the whole scene erupted into very violent cheers, which were not far from the previous LeBron James.

So if you only talk about popularity, then Su Jiu is definitely a good player in the league.

With all the players on both sides entering the court, the East and West teams are also warming up for shooting in their respective halfs.

But before that, players from both sides hugged and talked.

There were relaxed smiles on each other's faces, and they didn't take this game seriously at all.

After all, in today's era when Arenas, Marbury and others are gradually withdrawing from the stage of history, the All-Star Game has become a real entertainment exhibition game.

Unless in the last 2 minutes of the fourth quarter, the scores of the two sides are almost the same, otherwise the stars of the two sides will never show their housekeeping skills to the duel.

This time, the head coaches responsible for serving as the head coach to coach the two All-Stars in the East and West are Phil Jackson, who is ranked first in the West, and Stan Van Gundy, who is ranked first in the East.

These two people are currently leading the team to the top spot in the Eastern and Western Conferences, and they are also far ahead in terms of predictions for winning this season.

So the two also hugged each other before the game, and talked with each other with a smile.

It is worth mentioning that in the last round of voting before the All-Stars, Howard also made a sudden appearance and completed a successful counterattack in terms of votes.

And things are far more than that. As the "vote king" of this All-Star Game, Howard won a record-setting 3150181 votes in the end.

While securing the top spot in the league without any suspense, it also easily broke the previous record of 2558728 million votes set by Yao Ming four years ago.

And Chinese center Yao Ming has been the starter of the Western Conference All-Star for seven consecutive years, so Yao Ming has definitely made a huge contribution to the development of Chinese basketball in overseas NBA leagues.

In addition, Yao Ming also had 2532958 votes in this All-Star game, ranking third in the entire Western Conference, second only to Black Mamba Bryant and Stone Buddha Duncan.

As for Su Jiu's final votes in this All-Star Conference, although there were only more than 170 million votes, it was enough to help Su Jiu successfully break out of the backcourt in the Eastern Conference.

After all, those guys above are some perverts in the alliance, and it is very rare for Su Jiu to get more than 170 million votes.

At least in the past 10 years, apart from Yao Ming, there is no All-Star record of getting 170 million votes in his rookie season.

Before the start of the game, the two sides also announced the starting lineup of the game:

Western All-Stars:

Paul, Kobe, Stoudemire, Duncan, Yao Ming.

Eastern All-Stars:

Iverson, Wade, James, Garnett, and Howard.

If you look at the lineup alone, then the Eastern All-Stars will obviously be more reasonable.

Whether it is on the offensive end or the defensive end, the distribution is very even, and each position is relatively perfect.

But for this All-Star game, everyone is obviously playing with a play mentality.

So this also caused the defensive intensity of the game to be very low after the two sides came up, and each other often witnessed some fancy mid-air dunks by the other side.

Among them, Howard made frequent shots from beyond the three-point line, treating this as a game.

Seeing Howard having a great time on the field, he shot a three-pointer with perfect accuracy, which also made Su Jiu shake his head off the field, and had to sigh:

"His grandma, this is really not taking the All-Stars as a game, I dare not play like this in the game..."

With the passage of time, the head coaches of the two sides also made several substitutions and adjustments. After all, those who can be voted into the All-Stars have a certain popularity.

So as a head coach, you can't let people sit on the bench all the time, no matter how long you play, you should always let them show their faces.

So during the first substitution and adjustment, Su Jiu also got his wish and was taken to the field by Van Gundy.

After all, this is his own disciple anyway, and Van Gundy is quite clear about this. Anyway, he has a thick skin, and he is not afraid of the media saying that he is deliberately partial.

After Su Jiu came on the field, the defensive strength given by both sides was still relatively low, basically it was mainly for entertainment and performance.

Facing this situation, Su Jiu was not polite at all, and just bombarded the basket frantically, scoring wildly.

After scoring in two rounds, Su Jiu didn't forget to send a few wonderful passes to his teammates and get a few assists along the way.

Su Jiu, who came back from later generations, knows very well that if you can't hide your face in the All-Star Game, your stats will definitely be ugly.

At this point, Su Jiu also insisted on learning from Westbrook of the later generation, and just went straight to work frantically.

Regardless of what the fans will complain about after the game, the stats are already in hand anyway. After all, this is an honor that can be used to brag after retiring...

"Ahem, I think back then I was also a man who could kill all sides in the All-Star Game. If you don't believe me, go and see my personal honor and game statistics..."

With this entertainment-oriented mentality, players from both sides played relatively easily on the court.

However, the Eastern All-Stars are obviously more dominant in terms of touch, so at the end of halftime, the Eastern All-Stars also:

86:72

Leading by 14 points.

During the intermission, the coaches of both sides did not make too many arrangements.

After all, for such a game, neither Phil Jackson nor Stan Van Gundy paid much attention to it.

Because compared to such an entertainment exhibition game, the second half of the schedule after the All-Stars is the most important thing for the two of them.

After returning from the second half, the Western All-Stars also tried to start to exert their strength, trying to catch up with the score.

However, under Kobe's four-up and three-iron operation, the Eastern All-Stars also completely established the victory.

Finally, after the end of the game, this game without much defensive intensity was completely over, and the Eastern All-Star team successfully ended with:

168:151

An 17-point win over the Western Conference All-Stars.

At the end of the game, the fans at the scene immediately applauded all the players.

No matter whether the two sides played this game with intentions or not, it is a visual enjoyment in itself to see so many big names gathered together at the same time.

Under the cheers of the audience, the players from both sides also had a conversation with each other, hugging and encouraging each other.

Because all the players here know very well that after the end of this All-Star Weekend, if they can meet each other again, then they will definitely fight with all their strength and have not regressed in the slightest.

After the game, facing the cheers from the audience, the staff finally awarded the MVP trophy of the All-Star Game to Howard.

Howard was very happy in this game. Everyone was feeding him the alley-oop. Among them, Su Jiu alone fed Howard no less than four times.

在全场比赛出场的28分钟里，霍华德一共是17投14中，其中三分球竟然神奇的5投中2，以两分球100%命中率的表现拿下了30分11篮板以及2次助攻的数据。

Although LeBron James finally contributed 29 points, 5 rebounds and 7 assists.

However, the staff finally awarded the MVP trophy of the All-Star Game to Warcraft Howard.

Obviously, the title of All-Star vote king also gave Howard a lot of bonuses.

In addition to Howard and James, another Magic player, Iverson, was relatively restrained in this game.

I don't know if time has made Xiao Ai less enthusiastic about performance, or Iverson is not interested in this All-Star game at all.

全场比赛艾弗森一共上场了21分钟，其中4投2中，三分线外2中0，如咸鱼划水般的贡献出了4分1篮板2助攻的数据。

Obviously, Iverson's desire to attack in this All-Star game is not particularly strong, and he still wants to go through a cutscene.

Apart from Howard and Iverson, Su Jiu, who participated in the All-Star game for the first time in his career, performed quite eye-catchingly in this game.

With the help of head coach Stan Van Gundy, Su Jiu, who came off the bench, played a total of 25 minutes in the game.

其中个人10投7中，三分线外2中0，最终是拿下了一份14分4篮板以及6次助攻的数据。

It can be said that as Su Jiu participated in the All-Star Game for the first time, instead of showing the slightest hesitation on the court, Su Jiu played more relaxedly.

The posture on the court is simply more experienced than the veterans. Of course, the performance he contributed in the end is also relatively perfect.

And with the end of the All-Star Game, this also means that the vacation time for the 2009 All-Star Weekend has come to an end.

In the future, each team will launch a fierce counterattack for the playoffs.

Whether it is a team that is currently in a high position or a team that is struggling on the edge of the playoffs, no one dares to be careless.

Because throughout March, not only the NCAA has the legendary March Madness, but for NBA teams, as long as they want to make a difference in the ranking battle of the playoffs, then this will definitely be a crazy journey...

　Thank you Brother Tenber for your support, thank you brother, thank you very much!
