Starting from the last bus in the NBA

Chapter 134 All Stars End

Wang Hao witnessed Carter being crowned the champion of the 2000 Slam Dunk Contest, and I have to say that the dunk was wonderful.

Even he felt eager to try.

But, then again, is Carter's deduction really shocking?
In fact, not so, his dunk is indeed very exciting, but it is not unique.

Especially for Wang Hao, he has seen the peak duel between Zach Laven and Aaron Gordon.

It can only be said that Carter appeared at the right time.

Just when the NBA needed someone to save the slam dunk contest, Carter appeared at this time.

NBA officials can't praise Kat, and this news is thrown out as if they don't want money.

It seems that the reason why Jordan became a god, in addition to two three consecutive championships, is also related to his comeback that saved the NBA.

Well, the reason why I said so much is because Wang Hao is a little envious, envious of people who can dunk.

There is no way, he can be regarded as Seattle LaVine at most now, and he has not yet had the strength to go to the slam dunk contest.

Although he can't participate in the slam dunk contest, he can participate in the All-Star game!
Before the All-Star game, NBA officials still arranged a training session, and the twelve Western Conference stars gathered together.

When they saw Wang Hao appearing, everyone's expression changed, either they were curious or dissatisfied.

He didn't care, because no one would dare to make trouble.

What's more, he is not unsupported. Needless to say, Gary Payton has a good relationship with O'Neal.

Not only that, including Kobe and Duncan, both of them had friendly exchanges with Wang Hao.

Both of them are All-Stars who entered as rookies, so they will naturally have more sense of identity.

Perhaps when they entered the All-Stars, they were also targeted by older players.

Don't think this is impossible. After all, in the NBA, there is a tradition of bullying rookies.

In this training session, Phil Jackson appeared, but he didn't arrange any triangle offense.

It is a very simple pick-and-roll tactic, there is also a fast break tactic, and then there is a singles tactic.

With so many stars, whatever tactics you want, you can play singles one by one.

In the training session, O'Neal was very active and seemed to be full of confidence in the MVP.

At 20 o'clock local time in Oakland, the 2000 Oakland All-Star Game officially started.

Facing Mourning's scrimmage, O'Neal worked hard and grabbed the first chance for the West to attack.

Gary Payton dribbled the ball halfway, O'Neal was already in the paint, and Wang Hao ran to the bottom line honestly.

As for Garnett and Duncan, one stands at the bottom line, and the other comes to a high position to prepare for support.

Gary Payton was just about to pass the ball to O'Neal. Who would have thought that Mourning was really defending.

No way, Gary Payton had to hand the ball to Garnett, and Garnett was not polite, and directly pulled.

2:0
With almost no defense, if such a goal is not scored, Garnett is too useless.

Only O'Neill looked at Mourning with resentment on his face. This is just an All-Star, do you want to be so serious?
The state of the All-Star game is like this, focusing on performance.

Even if it was Mourning, it was impossible for one man to defend against five. It really gave O'Neal a lot of opportunities.

It's a pity that O'Neal didn't live up to expectations today. Except for two dunks, his shooting percentage was not very good.

As for Wang Hao, he didn't deliberately move his position, mainly because his teammates may not be willing to pick and roll for him and play tactics.

That being the case, it's better to stand up and stand a little farther away from the three-point line, and the defender will ignore him.

When teammates have nothing to do, they will always pass the ball.

Not to mention, two steps away from the three-point line, Wang Hao hit two three-pointers in halftime.

Another time, I cooperated with Gary Payton and played an alley-oop. It was a little bit, and if I jumped five centimeters higher, it would be an alley-oop dunk.

Pity!
Throughout the first half, Wang Hao played 11 minutes and scored 8 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist. His performance was not bad.

It's basically a clock out of get off work.

Although he is a starter, he is a rookie after all. Phil Jackson will definitely consider this when arranging his playing time.

As the head coach, and also the head coach of the All-Stars, they don't actually have too many personal opinions.

Even Yao Ming, under such huge controversy, still played 17 minutes.

As for scoring 2 points and 2 rebounds, it was purely because he didn't want to play and gave all the opportunities to his teammates.

Of course, this is also related to his style not being suitable for an All-Star.

Finally, at the end of the game, Wang Hao played 23 minutes and scored 14 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists.

In the absence of too many shots (8 of 4 shots), this data is already very good.

In the end, the West team won 137:125, and O'Neal and Duncan won the All-Star MVP together.

This is very interesting, the two won the MVP at the same time.

Strictly speaking, Duncan actually performed better, making 14 of 12 shots, 24 points and 14 rebounds.

As for O'Neal, he hit 20 goals in 11 shots, and his shooting percentage was average. He only scored 22 points and 9 rebounds.

However, the final All-Star MVP still has O'Neal, which the NBA officials have thought about in advance.

O'Neal's ability to take so many shots is naturally related to the head coach's arrangements and the help of his teammates.

Another interesting thing to mention is that neither O'Neal nor Kobe played more than 25 minutes.

However, Duncan and Garnett played more than 33 minutes at the same time, which is very interesting.

It is said that all-star head coaches will do this, that is, let their own players conserve their energy, and then try to use other players' players.

It's just that, how much physical energy can be consumed by playing for so many minutes?

The 2000 Oakland All-Star Game ended.

Wang Hao returned to Seattle with his parents, but instead of reporting to the team immediately, he asked his parents to stay in the hotel.

Wang Hao also stayed in the hotel, of course this is temporary, when his parents return to China, he will go back to live in the apartment.

"Son, I have seen your apartment. Although it is not bad, you must have your own house."

"I know, but the problem is, I have a one-year contract with the team, and I don't know where I will be next year?"

This is the truth. In fact, Wang Hao also wants to stabilize, and he is quite satisfied with the Supersonics.

It's just that signing a contract is troublesome.

It's not realistic to sign in advance, not to mention, he doesn't want to wrong himself.

Although money is not money, he doesn't care that much. If he wants to make money, he doesn't have to play basketball.

However, he is not willing to do things that are obviously going to suffer.

"That's it, then we can wait and see."

It is not very necessary to buy a house in the United States, but it is very necessary to buy a house in China.

You can buy a little everywhere in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, which is definitely the easiest operation for investment appreciation.

I saw it when I read online articles before, I don’t know how to get rich after being reborn, just buy a house!
