The older superstars of the NBA

Chapter 214 Barclays Center

The annual All-Star Weekend has finally arrived. This time the game is held in New York, but it is jointly organized by the Knicks and the Nets.

Both teams are in New York.

To this end, the two teams made a division of labor. Except for the All-Star Game being held at the Knicks' Madison Square Garden, other events such as the three-point contest and dunk contest were all hosted by the Nets. Hosted at Barclays Center Arena.

This is the first night of the All-Star Weekend, and the event is the newly restructured All-Star Rookie Game.

Compared with the previous first-year students against second-year students, this time the league changed the competition system and played new tricks, allowing the rookies to be divided into two groups.

One group is the U.S. team, and these players are all young players from the U.S.; the other group is the World Team, which is young people from other countries who came to play in the NBA.

After such a change in the competition system, it really attracted many fans to watch the game. The entire arena was already extremely lively before the official game started.

Zhao Feiyang specially bought two VIP tickets, and he took Jiang Qiuyue to watch the game live.

He had never sat in the team bench before, and it was rare for him to sit in the VIP auditorium. At this time, his mood was completely different.

"Hey, Andrew!"

Before the official start of the two rookie teams, Zhao Feiyang saw Andrew Wiggins in the crowd.As soon as he waved, Andrew Wiggins also noticed him, and immediately walked over to give him a high five and hug.

"Dude, why are you here?"

"Are you kidding me, you are my teammate...how can I not come to such an important game? Andrew, play well today, I believe you will definitely win the rookie game mvp... "

"Thank you, man, I won't let you down!"

After the two chatted and laughed for a while, Zhao Feiyang saw Zach LaVine who had just entered the arena, and he waved at the other party as well. When Zach LaVine saw Zhao Feiyang coming up, he also stepped forward to give Zhao Feiyang a high-five and hug.

"Zach, fight hard!"

"Don't let so many fans down..."

"Yes. Zhao, you wait for me to perform a violent dunk for you... By the way, I will participate in the dunk contest tomorrow, and you will be able to watch the game live... Dude, I'll be disappointed if you don't come..."

"Of course, I will definitely be there. I hope you can win the slam dunk contest...I am very optimistic about you..."

The chat of several people ended soon.

Not long after, the host at the scene also began to introduce the game lineup, and the players came out one by one to greet the fans.

The lineup of the US team is dominated by young players such as Elfrid Payton, Oladipo, Pope, Noel, and Zeller; the world team has Andrew Wiggins, Schroeder, and Antetokounmpo , Mirotic, Gobert and other young players.

The strength of the two teams is not much different in terms of lineup, so it is also an extremely rare game for the fans.

After the introduction, the two sides quickly started fighting.

This is the first time to implement this new competition system, which not only makes the fans feel novel, but also makes the players full of motivation.

In the first quarter, the world team performed well, especially Andrew Wiggins.

As the No. [-] pick in the draft, he can be said to be worthy of the name. Although he occasionally uses a thermos cup for health therapy, when it is time for him to work hard, Andrew Wiggins will not relax at all, nor will he collapse halfway.

After the start of the second quarter, the situation between the two sides changed slightly, and Andrew Wiggins took a break temporarily.Oladipo performed well on the US team, breaking through into the basket and scoring successfully, which caught the world team by surprise.

The gap between the two sides began to narrow, and the situation seemed to be back on the same starting line again.

However, after the second half, the situation on the court changed again.

Giannis Antetokounmpo, the insider of the World Team, has been very low-key before, and this time he finally played a good continuous attack.

His style of play also allowed the World Team to continue to open the score until the end of the third quarter with a 7-point lead over the US team.

Waiting until the last quarter, the two sides fielded the strongest lineup.

Andrew Wiggins was still eye-catching after the break, and Oladipo on the US team also performed very well.

Another teammate of Zhao Feiyang, Zach LaVine, didn't play much this time, and because of the compression of the ball, he didn't score many points.

At the last moment, he only scored 12 points and was replaced before the end of the game.

Instead, Andrew Wiggins got enough playing time.

In the end, with the efforts of the world team, they defeated the US team 121 to 112.The combined score of the two teams also created the lowest record since 2006.

Andrew Wiggins also got his wish and successfully won the MVP of the All-Star Rookie Game with 22 points and 6 rebounds.

This concludes the first night of the All-Star Weekend.

When the next day came, Zhao Feiyang also waited early in the Barclays Center arena.There was not much suspense in the previous skills challenge. In the end, Patrick Beverly, the dark horse, successfully won the championship.

When it came to the three-point contest, Zhao Feiyang, who had already won the championship once, also became the focus of the fans before the game.

The live camera was aimed at him and gave him a close-up.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is Zhao Feiyang, the champion of the three-point shootout in the last All-Star Game... Let us welcome him..."

Zhao Feiyang didn't expect this to happen, so he stood up and waved to the cheering fans.

Stephen Curry and others on the field also came up to give high fives.

"Stephen, I like you!"

"You should have done this a long time ago... Hahaha, buddy, without your participation this time, I will definitely take away the trophy of the three-point shot contest..."

What Stephen Curry said may be just a joke, but the final result is as he said, he defeated Kyrie Irving and Klay Thompson in the final, and won the final championship of the three-point shot contest with 27 points .

Then it was finally the turn of the All-Star Slam Dunk Contest.

Before the game officially started, Zach LaVine appeared in the team. Seeing Zhao Feiyang coming, Zach LaVine seemed very happy.

"Zhao, wait a minute I need your help..."

"what?"

Zhao Feiyang didn't expect to need to appear on the stage by himself. When he was surprised, he didn't refuse, but agreed to Zach LaVine's request.

The other participating players are Plumlee, Giannis Antetokounmpo, and Oladipo. The participation of a group of newcomers also filled the scene with more highlights.

After the first three ended the battle with different dunks, Zach LaVine finally made his debut.

He called Zhao Feiyang under the gaze of the audience, and then asked Zhao Feiyang to stand behind the backboard, "Zhao, wait a minute, you hit the basketball behind the backboard, and I will fly over from behind to catch the ball and perform a 360-degree show for you." Turn around and dunk..."

"Fuck!"

Zach LaVine's words surprised Zhao Feiyang.
