NBA: Start with a Kareem Abdul-Jabbar template card

Chapter 204 Don't give the shooter a way out?
On the day after the All-Star Weekend, the highlight of the day is naturally the individual events in the evening, especially the slam dunk contest that attracts the most attention.

However, in addition to the evening game, this year's ALL STAR players will all appear in All-Star jerseys at noon.

Unfortunately, this year's Eastern All-Star starting guard, Rondo of the Celtics suddenly felt unwell after the double overtime game with the Eagles at the end of January. After diagnosis, it was confirmed that the cruciate ligament of his right knee was torn, and During the game, Rondo didn't feel the slightest.

This means that Rondo may have run on the court with such an injury and fought fiercely for hundreds of seconds, which may have exacerbated his injury.

Rondo is unable to participate in the All-Star. According to tradition, the league president will have the privilege to designate a player to be a member of the Eastern Conference All-Star this year.

Obviously, the Nets and Hawks, who are among the top 8 worst teams in the Eastern Conference, are likely to have this last spot.

Not counting Rondo, this year's Eastern Conference All-Star lineup is "top-heavy." The only backcourt players are starter Wade and substitutes Irving and Walker.

Now that Rondo is injured and unable to play, it is only natural to add a backcourt player accordingly.

As a result, the name of Nets coach Deron Williams is about to come out.

Before Stern made his choice, the "well-known media" on the other side of the ocean, Delong's Chinese website, had already posted an article to celebrate his promotion to the All-Star.

In the end, the answer was revealed. Stern's choice was the backcourt, but it was Philadelphia's backcourt, Jrue Holiday, who averaged 19+9 per game and had excellent statistics.

After Holiday was selected, this Eastern Conference All-Stars can be called the base camp for "rookies", including Chen Xiao, Walker, George, Holiday, Irving, Chandler, and Noah, a total of 7 junior All-Stars.

……

At the Toyota Center Arena, Chen Xiao slowly walked into the locker room of the Eastern Conference All-Star players.

Entering through the open door, you can see many old acquaintances already in place.

Oops, a room full of defeated men~
The Big Three of the Heat had a double kill, one of the Big Three of the Celtics had a double kill, "Holiday" had a double kill of Philadelphia, Noah had a double kill of the Bulls, and the Knicks, Gua and Quan had a single kill.

Chen Xiao glanced around. Except for his own man Walker, the Pacers core George who came and went, and the Cavaliers Irving who was upset stood up, everyone else sat still. I want to say, everyone here is~~.

"Hello, buddy." George, who was closest to the door, stretched out his hand and punched Chen Xiao, "I watched yesterday's game, congratulations."

"Thank you, PG." Chen Xiao thanked. This is the sympathy between the opponents back and forth. Paul George was selected as an All-Star for the first time this season.

"Chen, MVP of the Rookie Competition~" A strange voice echoed in Chen Xiao's ears.

You can tell from the voice that it is "Boston Chen Xiao", an old acquaintance who is very tough.

Chen Xiao turned around to face the tough guy wearing the No. 5 All-Star jersey, and retorted: "Can I understand that this is your envy of me, old guy?"

"Who is the rookie MVP of the 96 All-Star Game?" Chen Xiao turned to ask everyone in the locker room.

The locker room was at a standstill for a while, seeing that Chen Xiao and Garnett seemed to be conflicting. "Newcomers" like Holiday and Noah didn't want to get involved, and they were really unfamiliar.

Chen Xiao looked at Walker. Walker looked like he was thinking hard. He wanted to be a compliment, but he was only 96 or 7 years old in 8. He was racking his brains and couldn't remember who it was.

"Little Flying Squirrel." "Damon Stoudemire." There were several answers in the locker room.

The Big Three of Irving and the Heat gave the answer. Of course, the nicknames and names are the same.

Look at Irving and Kemba, you don’t even know the seniors in your position, tsk tsk.Chen Xiao glanced at Walker, who was still thinking about it.

At the critical moment, the senior has to be reliable, Respect!

Chen Xiao nodded to Owen, his opponent yesterday and his comrade today.

As for the Big Three of the Heat, they and the Celtics can't deal with it either, so it's not a big deal to watch the excitement.

"Hey, I don't care, OK? It's just a rookie game MVP, not an official game." Garnett countered.

Chen Xiao made an FMVP lip-sync to the hard guy. This finals is finally an official game, right?
Poor wolf king, Pierce was not selected, Rondo was reimbursed, one person faced the two Bobcats, the Heat three, all alone, Chen Xiao would like to call him a wolf.

The two chattered, and at this time the staff also came over to remind them to come out.

Chen Xiao took down the All-Star jerseys that had been placed in his closet.

The main color of the Eastern All-Star jersey is blue, and the word ALL STAR on the chest is missing, which looks much simpler, but the shoulders and waist of the jersey and the position of the trousers are dotted with red, which is equivalent to the color of the east and west in special positions. exchange.

"GO~" Walker, whose wardrobe was next to Chen Xiao, had already dressed and urged Chen Xiao excitedly.

"Deling, the All-Star starting player." Chen Xiao also finished dressing up at this time, and teased Walker.

Rondo is reimbursed, so in addition to an All-Star player, someone also needs to fill his starting position. Although Holiday seems to have filled Rondo's position, the starting position still has to be decided by the coach.

This year's Eastern Conference coach is his own Lao Deng, and there is no doubt that he will replace Rondo as the starting candidate. Compared with Irving and Holiday, Walker does not have the embarrassing situation of insufficient qualifications and unworthy honors. The data and honors are all rookies. The team's record is crushing.

Dunlap also officially announced before the All-Star weekend that Walker will partner with Wade as the starting guard for the Eastern All-Stars.

Reasonable, very reasonable, the top three teams in the East are distributed by 2, 2, 1 in the number of starters.

Kemba Walker, in the second year of his rookie, he directly likes to mention the All-Star starter. You must know that although he is a substitute, he is also considered a starter in honor.

When the Eastern Conference All-Star players filed out, they naturally didn't want to go to training first, put on their jerseys and dress up, but they naturally wanted to pose for photos first.

Both the east and west teams were at the same shooting location, and everyone greeted each other in a leisurely manner.

It's also a coincidence that the symmetrical pattern of east and west is 221. As for the record ranking?Some people said in a strange way that No. 12 in the Western Conference still has two starters, so I don't understand it. The Lakers are No. 1 and 2 in the Western Conference. They are also 1 and 2, the same.

……

Noah, Bosh, and George are on the left, Chen Xiao and James stand prominently in the middle, and Anthony, Garnett, and Chandler are on the right.

The four backs of Irving, Wade, Walker, and Holiday sat in the front row, and Wade Walker sat in the center as the starter.

Click.

The Eastern All-Star family portrait will freeze at this moment.

……

That night, the official program of the second day of All-Star Weekend was staged.

Chen Xiao, Walker and Middleton came to the Toyota Center Arena.

"Shua", "哐", the sound of shooting baskets came to Chen Xiao's ears one after another.

The first thing to do was not a three-point contest, nor a skill contest, but a shooting star contest. The two teams led by Westbrook and Bosh shot and shot on the court.

"When Bosh is going to make a 3-pointer like this, it will be difficult for us to play." Walker looked at Bosh who made a [-]-pointer to help his team win with emotion.

Before Chen Xiao could answer, he retorted to Middleton, who didn't seem to like Chris very much: "When he comes out of practice, the Heat will know if he's still here or not."

Are you the prophecy emperor? Chen Xiao looked at Middleton in surprise, "Why did you say that, Chris."

"Um, I was talking nonsense."

amount.

After the lackluster response from the fans and the stars on the sidelines, it may be the first truly single-event challenge in traditional cognition.

Chen Xiao glanced at the roster and saw that he was still a full-back this year, and it was not yet time for a group of big men to play for entertainment.

It is also the first appearance of this year's All-Star players. Parker represents the Western team and Holiday represents the Eastern Conference.

But it was the host Jeremy Lin who sparked the cheers of the audience. Jeremy Lin, who is in the same division as defending champion Parker, is under a lot of pressure tonight.

However, the cheers did not bring enough support to Jeremy Lin. Parker pulled his hips today, but rookie Lillard performed brilliantly. He rushed out of the Western Conference in 28.8 seconds in the preliminaries and finally won Holiday in 29 seconds, crowning the Skills Challenge. champion.

After the awards ceremony, Lillard held up the "bronze ball" with an unruly expression.

"This trophy looks a bit like the Ballon d'Or in football." Walker said, looking straight at the "Bronze Ball".

Time flies to the next item of slightly higher concern - the three-point contest.

This year's Three-Point Contest also features two All-Stars, both gathered in the East, two All-Star rookies George and Irving.

"Curry, 44.9% three-point shooting, second in the league, he will win this trophy." Faced with Ernie's question, Barkley answered firmly, just as he was shocked by Curry's loss before, He is optimistic about Curry.

Chen Xiao on the sidelines is actually quite optimistic. After all, the Splash Brothers are basically the three-point champions. Moreover, Chen Xiao has no idea who will win the three-point championship this year.But Owen, who stood up not far away, was passing by him.

"Kayli, come on, I'm optimistic about you." Chen Xiao encouraged sincerely.

"PG, come on, I'm optimistic about you." George passed by, warming up and getting ready, Chen Xiao still encouraged sincerely.

"Here we go, Stephen Curry starts shooting."

After watching Curry hit 2 goals from the first corner and missed a goal from a 45-degree angle, Chen Xiao felt that Curry was out of luck this year.

2 ordinary balls and 1 flower ball at the top of the arc, 4 points, total 6 points.

45 degrees on the left, all hits, 6 points, 12 points in total.

The slap in the face won't come so quickly, right?
"Swish", "swish", "swish", "swish", "swish", and another 5 points were recorded.

Curry, who was the first to play, scored 17 points.

Silently calculated, under the current rules, a car with 4 general balls and 1 flower ball has 6 points, 5 cars with 30 points, the full score is 30 points, 17 points is not bad, and there is still a chance to advance.

Ryan Anderson, the next player in the division to wear the Hornets' No. 33 striped jersey, played.

The Hornets' sharpshooter's shooting percentage so far this season is relatively not too high, less than 4%, but his 147 three-pointers rank first in the league. He is a productive and efficient shooter, with thick eyebrows and thighs, ahem.

The first two cars scored 9 points steadily, and Chen Xiao took a look at Curry who was sitting in the next position.

Hey, Kuzi is very open-minded, and applauded.

During the applause, Anderson only hit one flower ball at the top of the arc, and 1 cars passed 3 points. Curry still kept the chance.

Speechless, Anderson, the second-to-last driver, hit all 5 goals and scored 17 points directly, which was the same score as Curry who had already shot.

After losing 2 goals in a row, Curry was eliminated with 18 points, but missed the next 2 goals.

Anderson ranked first in the Western Conference with 18 points, one point ahead of Curry.

The last player in the Western Conference has a much dimmed star compared to the first two. He is just a role player, following the "human victory cigar" of the Spurs in winning the championship in 07, and Bonner, who fought against the Heat's Big Three last year.

5 consecutive starts, 3 points after 15 cars, Bonner is less famous but in good condition.

Curry also applauded steadily in support. Just after he finished applauding, Bonner, who had already scored 3 points after scoring 18 more goals, suddenly lost his touch and missed consecutive goals.

Kuzi has received supernatural powers.

Bonner's last ball went through the net, sealing the victory with 19 points.

After scoring 17 and 18 points, the fans on the scene who were mobilized to a high level also broke out in violent cheers after a fiery start.

The last flower ball missed, and Bonner scored just 19 points.

"Congratulations to Matt Bonner, he will represent the Western Team in the finals!" the on-site commentator shouted.

"17, 18, 19, this is too funny. These three-point preliminaries in the Western Conference are interesting." Chen Xiao clapped his hands and said happily.

Middleton and Walker next to him also let out a sigh of relief. Obviously, as quasi-three-point shooters, they also entered it. As for Chen Xiao, just watch for fun.

After the west is finished, it's the east's turn. Irving, George and Novak's three-point contest is also a lot to watch.

After the previous ups and downs in the Western Conference preliminaries, everyone looked at Irving who was about to play.

You kid is special, right? Everyone else wears serious team jerseys, but Irving is wearing a "blue short-sleeved" trousers, which are dubbed by fans as royal-colored Cavaliers trousers.

Irving, who scored 2 points in the last two cars in a row, scored 5 points, which is on par with the players in the West.

It has become fierce, and the fans are also looking forward to the Eastern Conference like the previous three.

Next up, Paul George and Irving were dressed exactly the same, with a blue shirt and yellow shorts.

Take a closer look, oh, it turns out to be the training uniform of the Eastern Conference All-Stars, so that’s okay.

But George, who shot slower and slower, looked like something was wrong. The first car was empty, and there was a slight improvement later, but in the end he only got 10 points. The last one spent money and didn't even have time to make a move, but there seemed to be no difference between 10 and 12.

Novak, who was the last to play, looked up at the screen after scoring the last two goals in a row. His expression turned from hope to regret. His score was fixed at 2 points, which was another 17 point difference.

Not only himself, many fans also expressed regret.

"Oh My God, Novak only has 17 points." Chen Xiao vaguely heard fans or players sigh.

Indeed, the All-Star three-pointer system has a time limit of 60 seconds, all five points are covered, and fixed-point shooting is designed for a fixed-point fort like Novak. His predecessors are also famous for fixed-point three-pointers. Bono swept the three-point contest in 07 and 08 consecutively, scoring 24 and 25 points respectively, and even tied the record with 25 points.

When I arrived at Nuozi, I couldn't even make it to the finals. I really deserved the name of the high fort.

At the end of the preliminaries, excluding the soy sauce PG, the competition was very fierce, 17, 17, 18, 19.

"It's great. Bonner, who has the highest score in the West, and Irving, who has the highest score in the East, are also the top two of everyone. They will represent the two teams in the final battle. I can't wait." On behalf of TNT today, he explained the three-point contest Reggie Miller flexed his arms and legs as he spoke.

"Reggie, we all know that you are also a frequent visitor to the three-point contest. At the same time, you are the player with the second most three-pointers in NBA history. Irving and Bonner, who do you like?" The commentary partner Brian Anderson asked.

"Oh, this is a difficult problem. Matt is an outstanding fixed-point three-point shooter, and Kyrie is a killer. I will choose Kyrie Irving." Miller replied after thinking.

Miller chose Irving, who is more like himself, but more fans in front of the screen are still more optimistic about the trebuchet-like mechanical three-point king Matt Bonner. After all, this is what people rely on for a living, mostly as a good dribbler. Irving, who shows off his face, can't win in areas where others have different tricks, right?

After a short gap, Irving and Bonner came on the court again to stage the final battle of the three-point contest.

Miller is optimistic about Owen. As the same division, Chen Xiao, an alumnus, naturally supports Owen even more. Just now Owen helped to slap the hard special.

"Wow." Surprise came from Chen Xiao's ears. Owen, who kept jumping up and shooting in his sight, had hit 5 consecutive hits and scored 6 points in the first drive from the bottom corner.

7 points, 8 points, 9 points, 11 points after interrupting a goal, the first two cars have scored 11 points.

Another series of three-point rain, Irving used 5 consecutive hits to clear all the basketballs at the top of the arc, 17 points.

The cheers gradually rose from the audience. Fans who are familiar with the three-point contest know that the current scoring record is 25 points, 25/30, jointly held by Hodges and Kapono.Irving, who now has 17 points in the first three games, has a chance to change the score.

"Shua", "shua", "shua", scored 3 points in a row. At this time, Irving, who scored 20 points, had scored 10 consecutive goals.

But then three consecutive strikes dashed the audience's hopes of seeing a new record.

Irving, who was still making steady shots on the court, finally made 3 ordinary balls, but missed the last flower ball.

"23 points, although the last goal was missed and failed to tie the record, but 23 points is already a very competitive score." Miller commented on the three-pointer Dashanmenqing.

Bonner, who played later, performed by no means badly. He only missed 3 shots and scored 5 points after 13 shots. I can lose one.

"Bonner scored 20 points in the end. Congratulations to Kyrie Irving. His three-pointer is amazing." Miller was proud of his vision and sent congratulations.

……

This year's three-point contest was really exciting. Chen Xiao, who was watching from the sidelines, stood up and applauded Irving.

In the following interview session, the bobcat trio who saw the host all laughed, it's not suitable for children, it's not suitable for children.

He once appeared in the fourth season of "The Big Bang Theory" and was described by Amy as "the sexiest man I've ever seen in my life" - Rick Fox.

After Irving lifted the "bronze ball" after Lillard, the most important thing tonight is the slam dunk contest.
