Chapter 300 All-Star Game

Chapter 87 All-Star Game

The All-Star Game hasn't started yet, but it's like the situation before all games start.There was also a war of words between the stars of the East and West.Their cause was that Bosh replaced O'Neal as the starting power forward of the Eastern Stars.

A war without gunpowder has begun—the 03-level rookies are starting to challenge the 96 golden generation, so who is stronger?Kobe, as a representative of the golden generation, bluntly said that the 96th grade is stronger, but James, the No. 03 pick in the [-]rd grade, did not admit defeat, saying that it is only a matter of time before he surpasses his predecessors.
As the representative of the 96 golden generation, Kobe Bryant faced the question of who is stronger between the 03 class and the 96 golden generation.Directly stating that "the answer is self-evident", he said: "Our class was more in-depth and accomplished more. Of course, this still needs time to test, because the 03 generation is just fledgling, but we have been in the NBA for many years. Ten years! Because of these experiences, I think we should have a say."
The 96 golden generation gathered talents, and those selected for this All-Star game include Kobe, Ray Allen, Iverson, Nash, and O'Neal. In addition, they also include the famous Camby, Marbury, Walker, etc. , With such a lineup as the backing, Kobe speaks with confidence.
In the face of the strength of the 96 golden generation, James also admitted the gap. However, in his opinion, this gap is only temporary. He said: "Now we are indeed not as good as them. They produced many great players in that year. They won the MVP. , They have a championship ring ... But we are not inferior, so we will not escape, we are determined to be the best generation - the best generation in NBA history."
Both Wade and Bosh agree with James' views, but in Wade's view, he is more willing to compare the 03 class with the 84 generation-there are immortals such as Jordan, Olajuwon and Barkley. Star, "Our 03 generation is indeed very strong, and we will shine through the annals of history just like the 84 generation." Wade said.

The game has not yet started, however, about who is the strongest in league history.As a result, the relationship between the two parties became extremely tense.

Even, the All-Star Game is also called an exhibition game.However, if it develops according to the current situation.It's also a possibility that the exhibition match will really be played.

………………

On February 2th, local time in the United States, at 18 o'clock in the evening, fans with tickets, wearing their T-shirts supporting the stars, filed into the arena.

The game hadn't officially started yet, but the scene became extremely noisy.The discussion among the fans, the singing at the scene, and the sounds made by the fans walking around.

Inside the locker room at the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas.

There was a lot of voices outside the locker room, but the stars in the locker room were talking and laughing freely.Just kidding, what scene have these people never seen?It's not the first time they have participated in the All-Star Game, and the cheers outside are nothing.

There is still a period of time before the start of the All-Star Game, and the players are chatting with each other.They are all a group of men with excess male hormones. When they gather together, they can and will talk about anything.If you think about it with your toes, you know what they are talking about.

"Hey! Hey! Hey! The girls in Las Vegas are good! Their bodies, their work in bed, they are all top-notch. Oh, oh, oh... I can't stand it." Western All-Stars Starting center Stoudemire first brought up this topic.

After hearing this sentence, all the players in the locker room had lewd looks in their eyes, and everyone was like-minded.

"Oh, oh, oh... that sound makes me feel excited. I really hope to stay in Las Vegas after the All-Star Game. I love a city and beautiful women here. Ahhhhh ...That feeling, that feeling is so cool! Ah!" Tracy McGrady said lewdly with her eyes slightly closed.

…………

Among this group of people, Jack is considered a newcomer, and Jack is a topic of conversation for this kind of man.I didn't intend to interrupt, just listened to it and laughed occasionally.Jack is a rookie with a head and tail, and he doesn't have enough weight in the league. Naturally, he won't become the focus of the locker room.

And as the ticket king of this All-Star Game—Kobe Bryant is sitting next to a chair, closing his eyes and resting his mind, preparing to wait for the upcoming game.

Everyone can see that Kobe wants to win this game.Losing is something that is absolutely not allowed.At the All-Star press conference, Kobe had already spoken: This All-Star Game must belong to the West, because the East has defeated the West for two consecutive years, and this time the Hornets must beat the Eastern Stars no matter what.

"Pa..." The door of the dressing room was opened.Spurs coach Popovich walked in.

Gregg Popovich was selected as the head coach of the Western Conference All-Stars due to the excellent record of the Spurs since the start of the season, and their winning percentage has improved a lot compared to last season.The head coach of the Eastern All-Stars is Eddie Jordan of the Wizards. When he led the Wizards to a record of 26 wins and 6 losses, he was voted by the reporters as the head coach of the Eastern Stars.

Popovich is also in charge of the All-Star for the first time, but he is also an old coach who has seen big scenes, so he knows how to line up.The All-Star starting lineup is selected by votes, so there is no need to worry about it, so he just said a few words, "Everyone have fun, have fun, and waved for the stars to go to the All-Star stage to get ready to play."

In fact, there is no so-called tactical arrangement in the full name competition.Among them, the vast majority are the personal performances of the stars.Therefore, Popovich did not arrange tactics too much before the game.

The players in the All-Star Game did not simply walk in through the aisle, but there was a star platform behind the fans, and the players stood on the platform, and then the DJ began to introduce, first introducing the substitute players, and finally introducing the five starters players.

After introducing the substitute players of both sides, the appearance of the main players followed:
Jack has the smallest qualifications among all the players in the West, so when DJ introduced him, Jack was placed first.He smiled and looked at the cheering players, then hugged Parker beside him, and then jogged into the stadium.In front of him is the old coach Popovich, and the head coach is the first to be introduced.

After all the players entered the arena, the DJ played the national anthem of the United States "The Star-Spangled Banner Never Falls". All the fans stood up and hummed the national anthem together.

After these things are completed, the All-Star game will begin immediately.Jack and the others started to warm up and prepare for the start of the game.

Jack stood on the free throw line, his wrist flicked with a "swap", the basketball rolled out from Jack's fingertips, and the basketball hit the net, "I feel good today!" Jack thought in his heart.

At this time, there was a "boom", and the fans at the scene cheered.Jack felt very strange, and Jack's first reaction was: No way?When did I become so attractive.This is just a shot, they shouldn't be like this!Jack felt very curious, turned his head and turned around, it turned out that before the game started, James and Wade cooperated in an explosive alley-oop in the air.

With a "boom", James used his arm as a tomahawk, and directly smashed the basketball in his hand into the basket.

He was not the only one who was curious about Jack's appearance. He even turned his head away from the extremely cold Kobe Bryant, watching James and Wade cooperate.

Seeing James and Wade cooperate, Jack sighed: So it seems that the combination of the two of them is already doomed?The current cooperation is already in such a tacit understanding.

"Hey! Rookie, don't look here! Pass the ball to me." Kobe shouted at Jack who was in a daze with an unquestionable tone.

Jack turned his head and turned to see Kobe rushing towards the basket at high speed. Kobe wanted to return an alley-oop.

When Jack first started, he was really upset, and Kobe called him a rookie.However, Jack weighed the pros and cons.In the end, he still passed the basketball in his hand.

For the benefit of the whole team, Jack endured his unhappiness with Kobe.

Kobe rushed to the basket like lightning, bent his knees, kicked the ground, his body flew up from the ground like a spring, leaped in the air, grabbed the basketball that had just risen to the highest point with one hand, and there was a "boom" There was a loud noise, and the basketball smashed into the basket with a thunderous momentum.

"Boom" The fans at the scene rang out a large number of exclamations again.The game has not yet started, but the relationship between the two sides has become extremely tense, and the two sides are filled with monstrous flames.

"Beep..." The long whistle sounded, and there were still 3 minutes left before the start of the game.

The referee for this All-Star Game is Whistle Dick Bavita.Whistle Dick Bavita is a well-known whistle in the league.Since becoming an NBA referee in 1975, the old man has never missed any game assigned by the NBA.Legendary star 'Iron Man' AC Green's record of 1192 consecutive appearances made many people speechless, but Bavita was far more tenacious than Green, and he had more than 2300 consecutive law enforcement games.Since two years ago, this thin, strong old man has set a record for NBA referees' law enforcement every time he plays.

Players on both sides watched the starters prepare to play.

"Crack...crack...crack...crack...crack...crack..." Applause like a tidal wave hit the court.
