Bishop: since 1998

Chapter 113 All-Star Weekend!
January 2, Staples Center Arena.

The Lakers, who had ended their 23-game winning streak, took their anger out on the Jazz.

Then, the Jazz were in bad luck, but tonight, their shooting touch was not good, so the game turned into a disaster.

In the first quarter, the Jazz scored 14 points.

In the second quarter, the Jazz only scored 7 points.

The Lakers were fully fired and scored 59 points. In the first half of the game alone, the Lakers led by 38 points.

O'Neal, Kobe Bryant, Billups and other main players, symbolically hitting the third quarter, hurriedly clocked out of get off work. There was no way, the game was completely overwhelmed.

In the fourth quarter, the Lakers' rotation lineup was a little ignorant, and they actually played to death.

In the end, 67 to 118! !
The Lakers beat the Jazz by 51 points.

Next, take the Nuggets and Timberwolves lightly.

The record of the Lakers is very amazing, but when the All-Star game voting ends, the top voters are not either O'Neal or Kobe.

It was the alien Carter, who dunked out of gravity, which won him the love of a large number of fans.

O'Neill can only bully people with pure power. He has dominance, but he is not shocking enough.

Carter received 1911973 All-Star votes, ranking second in NBA history, ahead of O'Neal by more than 20 votes.

Kobe is even more than 80 votes behind.

It has to be said that between 2000 and 2002, Carter's popularity was so awesome.

It seems that his ability to lead a team is average, but no one can compare with him in popularity, not even Iverson.

The record of the Lakers leads the league, and it is a big city. Billups was magically selected as an All-Star.

No way, you can't vote for Bowen and Big Ben, Billups is a bit ugly.

Compared with those two, it was a little bit better.

Well, the head coach of the Western Conference is naturally Li Mu, who has the best record in the league. In other words, Billups was chosen by him.

So, the Western Conference stars started: O'Neal (Lakers), Duncan (Spurs), Garnett (Timberwolves), Kobe Bryant), Kidd (Suns).

Seven substitutes: Chauncey Billups (Lakers), David Robinson (Spurs), Gary Payton (Sonics), Michael Finley (Mavericks), Karl Malone (Jazz), Rasheed Wallace ( Blazers), Chris Webber (Kings).

The Eastern Conference All-Star starters, Allen Iverson (76ers), Grant Hill (Pistons), Vince Carter (Raptors), Eddie Jones (Hornets), Alonzo Mourning (Heat).

Eastern bench 7 people: Glenn Robinson (Bucks), Reggie Miller (Pacers), Dikembe Mutombo (Hawks), Alan Houston (Knicks), Dale Davis (Pacers), Jerry Stackhow S (Pistons), because Sprewell will be absent due to injury, replaced by Ray Allen (Bucks).

In addition, the head coach of the Eastern Stars is Larry Bird.

The Eastern Theater has several historical-level shooters, Reggie Miller, Ray Allen and Alan Houston.

The western theater has a terrifying lineup of star power forwards.

Duncan, Malone, Garnett, Webber and Rasheed Wallace.

In other words, this Star Weekend, some changes have been made in the rules, and the Rookie Challenge has become a first-year team challenging a second-year team.

Lewis of the Lakers participated in the battle, and Brad Miller, who had just been traded, was also selected.

Carter is also a sophomore, but he was only selected for the main game and did not participate in the Rookie Challenge.

The 98 NBA Draft was an underestimated draft with a lot of second-year talents, such as Nowitzki, Pierce, LaFrentz, Jason Williams, Bibby, Mobley, and Jamison.

Potential new stars such as Brand, Francis, Odom, Maggette, Marion, and Szczerbiak in the first grade are also very strong.

On the night of Friday, February 2th, the Rookie Challenge will start first, warming up the All-Star Game.

As the second-year head coach, Bilance arranged tactics for Lewis.

At the beginning of the first half of the game, Lewis hit three consecutive three-pointers and became the brightest boy on the court.

But soon, all eyes were attracted by Jason Williams.

In other words, White Chocolate is obviously very suitable for such a stage. The name of a nine-man panic with the ball is not earned for nothing. First, he made an unreasonable shot that was 3 or 4 steps away from the three-point line.

Then, he broke through the first-year defense line, reached the penalty area, passed the ball with his back, and at the same time, made an attractive layup at the moment of the pass.

At this time, the defensive players on the court were staring at Jason Williams, and the audience outside the court were watching Novitz's European step dunk.

The applause sounded loudly, and Jason Williams, who had a great time playing, displayed his unique skill, broke through and pulled the ball, and then used an elbow to pass the ball. "It seems to be telling everyone that the ball is passed like this."

This coquettish pass performance won the applause of the whole house.

Next, Novitzs stood up and competed with Lewis for a three-point shot.

Pierce used kaleidoscope of offensive skills to show his offensive strength.

In the first half of the game, the second graders led the first graders by 62 points with a score of 48 to 14.

In the second half of the game, Odom and Rambud stood up to score points. The two knew each other when they were not in the NBA. There was a pass from Odom and a sharp hit from Rambud's mid-range shot.

Of course, Francis' solo show, the explosive breakthrough dunk, is also very eye-catching.

The game went back and forth, and finally, the game went to overtime.

In the end, the second graders got consecutive lore chances, Nowitzki missed a three-pointer, and then Lewis hit a three-pointer, killing the first-year team.

Brand almost led the first-year team to a comeback to win yesterday, but unexpectedly, he was defeated by Lewis.

比分118比116，刘易斯16投10中，三分球12中7，轰下27分7篮板3助攻，当选了MVP。

Being selected by the Lakers, he got a lot of exposure opportunities.

Lewis is also very upbeat, he grasped it.

In Li Mu's previous life, Lewis performed mediocre in the second year of the Sonics and did not participate in the Rookie Challenge. Now, influenced by Li Mu's butterfly effect, he not only participated, but also performed amazingly.

On the 12th, various challenges began, and the first one was the three-point shooting contest.

The Lakers have Rice in attendance.

However, this year's three-point shooting contest can be called a three-point shooting competition.

In the first round, the shooting percentage of the contestants was very sluggish.

Hornacek, Ray Allen and Novitzs passed the test and entered the finals.

Hornacek, as the winner of the three-point contest in 98, naturally played in the finale.

Nowitzki was obviously a little nervous when he took the first shot. At the beginning, he shot repeatedly. He shot about 10 balls. After making a smooth shot, he only scored 11 points.

Unexpectedly, Ray Allen, who played second, as a historical three-point shooter, performed worse than Nowitzki, and only scored 10 points.

Gangzhen, there is no suspense between the two after the three-point shooting contest.

However, Hornacek's shooting started with 7 of 1. In the end, he used the flower ball to score 13 points before barely surpassing Nowitzki and winning his second three-pointer.

In other words, the finals are so bad, it is estimated that there will be no such scenes in the next few decades.

Winning the three-point champion with 13 points is likely to create a record low, the one that cannot be surpassed?
