Chapter 138 The Most Popular People
The four teams in the star shooting game are San Antonio, Los Angeles, Phoenix and the host Houston.

Although luck is more important in this kind of thing, several people from the Knicks still pretended to analyze it. They believed that the defending champion team led by Marion and the Los Angeles team led by Kobe were stronger, but the host team led by McGrady was not strong. Be favored.

The San Antonio team led by Parker seems to be strong, but not as sure as the Los Angeles and Phoenix teams. Everyone else placed their bets on the Los Angeles and Phoenix teams, and Li Hai chose the San Antonio team.

The San Antonio team was the first to play. Tony Parker, female player Kendra Wake, and retired veteran Steve Kerr finished the game with the best time in history of 25.1 seconds. Everyone else knew that one hundred dollars can only be exchanged for a cup. Rice spent.

Sure enough, the other three teams were all 40 seconds away, and there was no suspense for Li Hai to win.

The second competition is the skills challenge, and the four players participating are Chris Paul, Steve Nash, Dwyane Wade and LeBron James.

Those who lost the bet before were still not convinced. The Skills Tournament was the fourth. In the previous three years, the point guard won the championship. Nash was the defending champion. He and Paul were the most favored.

LeBron James is the least favored player. Why would a forward join in the fun? Wade is the kind of guy who is possible but not as good as the two guards.

Same as the previous game, only Li Hai overwhelmed Wade, and the others were Nash and Paul. As a result, Nash and Paul were eliminated in the qualifiers. James, James won and they tied, but the result still didn't make them do what they wanted.

"Continue, continue." The enthusiasm of several people was aroused, and they insisted on winning once.

"Next, we will fully support our teammates. Let's finish with a little fun...Okay, I'll treat guests to a supper later, and let you eat back." Li Hai smiled happily.

In addition to Quentin Richardson in the three-point contest, there are Jason Terry, Dirk Nowitzki, Ray Allen, Chauncey Billups and Gilbert Arenas.

After the start of the game, Quentin Richardson's performance was like this season's state, which was far worse than last season. He was directly eliminated in the qualifiers with the lowest score, and finally the big man Dirk Nor was crowned in the final. Wizki became the second foreign three-pointer in the history of the three-point contest.

Finally, it was the second day's main event, the slam dunk contest. Nate Robinson had three opponents: Andre Iguodala, who had just won the MVP in the rookie game, Josh Smith, the eagle dunker, and Li Hai's college teammates. Hakim Warrick.

As the Knicks' best bouncer, Nate Robinson is full of confidence this time.

Because he is only 1 meters tall, he has earned a lot of attention before he even played. He dribbled the ball for the first time and then smashed the ball to the ground. Then he caught the ball with both hands, turned 75 degrees and dunked with both hands.

He also entered the finals with Iguodala without much suspense. The two performed even more excitingly in the finals and both scored a full score.

Iguodala made a run-up after throwing an air ball at the free throw line, caught the ball with his left hand in the air and switched the ball to his right hand to complete the dunk, while Nate Robinson made his idol, who was only 1 meters tall, dunk in 7 Wang "Little Potato" Webber asked Webber, who was wearing the championship jersey that year, to stand under the basket and hit the ground to pass the ball. Robinson took off after a run-up to catch the ball in the air, leaped over the standing Webber, and completed a dunk.

After two dunks in the final, the two tied for a tie. In the end, Nate Robinson narrowly beat Iguodala by 1 point in overtime, which made the Knicks excited for a long time.

After the game, Li Hai didn't break his promise, and took a group of people to the sea to have a meal. It's a fool not to do this kind of thing that can increase the intimacy of his teammates without paying for it himself.

On the third day, the main event of the All-Stars finally started, the Eastern and Western All-Stars duel.

In this home game, Yao Ming undoubtedly won the vote champion. A total of six players from the east and the west had more than 200 million votes, which represented a high popularity. However, another host player, McGrady, did not enjoy this treatment. Another highly popular player in the West is Kobe, and the other four highly popular players are all from the East, Lehi, James, Iverson and O'Neal.

The starters selected by the fans, the East is Allen Iverson, Stephon Marbury, LeBron James, Lehi and Shaquille O'Neal, and the substitutes are Dwyane Wade, Vince Carter, K. Reece Bosh, Richard Hamilton, Chauncey Billups, Gilbert Arenas and Ben Wallace, of which Arenas is replacing O'Neal who was injured and unable to play, the head coach is the Pistons Coach Philip Saunders.

West starters Steve Nash, Kobe Bryant, Tracy McGrady, Tim Duncan and Yao Ming, with Sean Marion, Elton Brand, Dirk Nor Wicki, Tony Parker, Ray Allen, Kevin Garnett and Pau Gasol, head coached by Mavericks coach Avery Johnson.

When preparing, the stars let go of the grievances in the usual games, and laughed together in twos and threes.

James took the initiative to find Li Hai, and said with a smile: "Brother, as a senior in the All-Star Game, I solemnly tell you that Tim Duncan in the Western Conference will be yours after a while, and I believe you can beat him. "

The starting lineup in the Western Conference was unreasonable. There were no power forwards at all. One of them would always have to face Duncan. James did not hesitate to hand over this task to Li Hai, who was playing in the All-Star Game for the first time.

It's okay to play power forward Li Hai, but it's hard to say against Duncan. Fortunately, this is only an All-Star, and it's good to feel the power of the top insider. Maybe there will be misalignment in the official game in the future. A little experience is always good.

After the start of the game, the East got the chance to attack first, James made the first goal, and Yao Ming, one of the hosts, completed the offense in the West with a dunk.

In the first quarter, both sides were playing, and Li Hai was really not used to it. After receiving the ball specially passed to him by Marbury, Li Hai also went straight to the basket and made a tomahawk dunk, which attracted O'Neal behind The expression is exaggerated and funny.

The first quarter of the game was relatively peaceful, and the East and West also drew 28:28.

In the second quarter, the western stars consciously created opportunities for McGrady, just like the first-year team gave the host player Hyde a chance in the rookie game, but Hyde is not strong enough, but McGrady has this strength.

Seeing the widening gap in the score, Li Hai, who came back on stage, put the performance behind him and became serious.
