Chapter 393 The Best All-Star Weekend in History
During the All-Star weekend, the tiny city of Cleveland was packed with fans from all over the world.

DeWeese also easily found Zhang of the Celestial Dynasty to guide their film crew.

Tianchao attaches great importance to this All-Star Game this time, and sent a film crew of more than 20 people to film the whole process.

DeWeese was lucky to be their first interview subject.

After a cordial exchange, DeWeese ran to the locker room.

What is going on today is the Rookie Challenge, or is the Magic challenging the Western rookies?

Duncan, Garnett, Iverson, Kobe, and Ray Allen were all selected. As the main players of the Magic, they have the best record in the league. It is reasonable to be selected for the Rookie Challenge.

In the Rookie Challenge, the Magic's quasi-starting lineup was a complete blow to the rookies in the West. In order to prevent the game from entering garbage time early and ensure the viewing of the game, in the second quarter, the head coach of the East directly came up and down.

Of course, in the fourth quarter, the five guys from the Magic started.

There is one thing to say, five years later, these five people will be the starters of the All-Star Game. . .

All in all, the 96-97 All-Star Rookie Challenge ended.

Duncan became the MVP of the rookie game with the data of 23+12+5.

In the evening, DeWeese took a large group of younger players to the annual All-Star Party.

The scale of this year's All-Star Gathering is also extraordinary. There are no. 30 people, old and young, new and old.

Because the Cavaliers really didn't have a star to show for it, Davis took over the task of organizing the party without hesitation.

No way, who made him the richest. . . .

Kobe, Deng Dadai, and Ray Allen were eye-opening. The superstars who are usually aloof and cold also sometimes get red-faced after drinking, and some shamelessly seek out Davis to get close. . .

A group of people played until midnight, and the unbelieving Jordan once again asked to go to the gambling table to have a showdown. Since DeWeese swept Las Vegas, Jordan has also restrained a lot, but he still occasionally goes to the casino to play.

And when Davis participated in the All-Star Game for the first time, there were not many players left.

With Johnson and Byrd fanning the flames, everyone unanimously agreed to go to the casino to try their luck.

It's okay to try. . .

The next day, all the All-Star players walked out of the casino in disgrace.

Except for DeWeese, who is full of joy. . . .

Davis looked at the money he had won cheerfully, and calculated whether it was enough for organizing the party this time.

And from this year on, not to enter the casino with Davis, especially not to bet against him, has become an iron rule in the NBA All-Star world.

DeWeese, who is already full-fledged, certainly won't let the money that fell into his pocket fly out again like the first year, and his current status also determines that he doesn't have to do that kind of thing.

The dunk contest and three-point contest on the second day are also worthy of the title of the most luxurious All-Star game in history.

By "paying tribute" to Davis' tomahawk and his iconic 360-degree turning dunk in his previous life, Carter undoubtedly defeated Kobe and other opponents and won the dunk king.

Steve Kerr of the Magic, on the other hand, showed his dominance in the absence of Davis, almost breaking the record set by Davis and winning the title of three-pointer.

Then came the most eye-catching part of the race.

"Hey, Erwin, you start for me today." Davis suddenly found Magic Johnson in the locker room before the game.

At the same time, Carter also expressed similar meaning to Bird after discussing with DeWeese.

After some persuasion, Johnson and Byrd agreed to their proposal.

This year's Eastern Conference head coach is still D'Antoni, and the Magic's record this year is really explosive. . .

D'Antoni definitely has no reason to refuse. The palms and backs of his hands are full of flesh, so who can let him go?

So, when they played, the fans' initial surprise quickly turned into crazy cheers.

So now there is a question, which team can stop Johnson, Jordan, Bird, Webber and O'Neal when five people are on the court at the same time.

The answer is: Payton, Drexler, Hill, Malone and Olajuwon.

O'Neal jumped to the ball over Olajuwon's head. This sentence seems to have appeared many times. Johnson got the ball and pushed forward.

Relying on his super defensive ability, Payton wants to take advantage of the "old" Johnson.

But Johnson simply pulled the ball to change direction when Payton's hand was about to touch his own ball.

Then he passed the ball directly from an incredible angle to O'Neal who was stuck inside Olajuwon's position.

O'Neal pushed Olajuwon behind him twice, and shot directly with a small hook.

But his shot was blocked by Olajuwon head-on.

The big O'Neal walked to the backcourt with a look of embarrassment.

This time, Payton is not very comfortable. His organizational ability is not good among all top point guards. He has not averaged double-double assists per game in his entire career.

And Johnson's defense made Payton restrained, because the gap in size is really a bit big. . .

Johnson's whole person seemed to wrap Payton.

There is no way, Payton can only pass the ball to Drexler who assists him.

The two old rivals of glider and trapeze meet again.

The two entangled for a while, and Drexler got an open space through Malone's pick-and-roll. He released the ball to Malone, and Malone made a successful mid-range shot from the free throw line.

As soon as the two teams came up, they fought together with real knives and guns. It was a competition between skills and tactics.

Next, O'Neal didn't waste the second chance Johnson gave him, completely squeezed Olajuwon, and dunked over his head.

Next, Bird steals Drexler and hits a three-pointer in the frontcourt.

Bird learned a DeWeese move. He threw the ball in front of the returning players. He turned around and opened his hands as a tribute to the fans as soon as he took the shot.

This ball once again ignited the passion of the fans in the audience.

The two teams were tied 29-27 before the first substitution, with the West trailing by just two points.

Olajuwon's inside defense and Malone's stable mid-range shot have become the core of the West's offense and defense.

Hill and Drexler struggled against Jordan and Bird's defense, and Payton was even more miserable. . .

What a disaster when the glove meets a magician. . . .

And Davis and Carter, the two real starters, finally set foot on the court after substitutions.
