NBA: Start with a Kareem Abdul-Jabbar template card

Chapter 207 The Ruler

Passing by the mixed interview area on the way out, Chen Xiao was inevitably asked among the reporters what he thought of Rose winning the championship, and what he thought of Irving beating a bunch of three-point shooters to win the three-point title. As for Lillard The skills competition seems to be neglected.

"Congratulations to Rose, I'm very happy to see the Raptors' No. 15 jersey return to the Slam Dunk Contest. He had a great first round in the final round.

But it is a pity that James White and Gerald Green failed to truly show their strength. This is regrettable. Maybe this slam dunk contest could have become a classic in history. "Chen Xiao stopped talking. The implication was self-evident, but it was almost meaningless.

There are bright spots and slight ups and downs, but judging from the reaction of the fans in the audience, it may only be 2 or 3 goals that are truly recognized by them.

Although he has not retired, McGrady, who came to the Toyota Center Arena as a Rockets star, said in an interview with reporters that this slam dunk contest is terrible. Can we go back to the past model of one dunk per round?
JR Smith even regretted why he didn't come this year. Maybe in his mind, if he came, the championship would be his?
Wall and Jordan also said that their buddies will also do one tomorrow.

But in Chen Xiao's view, if you two come together, it's just another pair of Bledsoe and Faried, coming to make a difference, right?

The slam dunk contest ended amidst the chaos, and the All-Star Weekend is about to reach its final day, which is also the most important part of the year.

……

February 2th, the day of the All-Star Game, is also Michael Jordan’s 17th birthday.

"Happy 50th birthday, Maikou." Chen Xiao also sent birthday wishes to Danzi.

"Thank you, so, where's my gift?" Jordan joked with a hearty smile.

"No. [-] in the Eastern Conference, the Bobcats' All-Star starter, and the top vote-getter, isn't this gift enough?" Faced with Jordan's "asking for a gift," Chen Xiao, who was empty-handed, asked confidently without any embarrassment.

"OK, this is the best gift. I like this and enjoy this weekend." Jordan showed a happy smile and patted Chen Xiao on the shoulder.

"Yeah, 5 is greater than 1, 6 is greater than 5." Chen Xiao said with a wink.

10 years ago, the 40-year-old Jordan participated in his last All-Star Game, and 10 years later, Jordan can still stir up the NBA with just a few words.

During the All-Star Weekend, although Chen Xiao won the vote, the most popular was the enduring "23vs24", or "6vs24". As a "top replacement", Qiao Qiao was also often compared. God cannot escape this topic.

"Although it is difficult to choose between the two, 5 is greater than 1." As a general saying, Qiao Shen still said that the champion is the hero.

The reporter who got Qiao Shen's golden words couldn't wait to find the person involved, flirt with him, and completely add fuel to the fire before the two were about to face off on the court.

"This is a truth that everyone understands. Let the championship speak for itself. This is the most important thing." Kobe looked relaxed. He also appreciated Jordan's words very much. "Since entering this league, we have known that you must win the championship." Only a champion can be compared with Moji and Jordan, LeBron understands this, and I am also fighting for it."

Faced with a situation where 1 is obviously less than 5, James will naturally not miss the excellent example of King of the Rings. "Championship rings often cannot define a player's career. Just as I would not put Russell in front of Jordan, Russell Serge has 11 rings and Jordan has six, but I’m not going to do that.”

After giving this example that would pop up in most people's minds instantly, James came even more prepared. It seemed that he had done a lot of homework before the interview, "Yard Buechler has several rings, and Charles "Barkley doesn't have a ring, but it's obvious that he's no better than Barkley."

Barkley was shot while lying down again. As for who Buechler is, most fans who hear this name will not be able to find this figure in their minds for a while. He was a water cooler player in the three consecutive periods after Jordan, averaging per game. 2 or 3 points.

Zhan Zi, he also said that you didn't come prepared. You found such a scrap from the corner beside Dan Zi to compare it with Lord Barker, who once won the MVP from Jordan.

The reporter thought James had finished speaking. There were quite a lot of examples, including the Lord of the Rings and unknown players.

However, the reporter is still young and talked endlessly about James today. Then James mentioned Ewing and Miller and said, "The ring depends on the conditions you are in, the team you are in and the era you experience."

While surfing on social media before the game, Chen Xiao, who was a high-intensity eater, couldn't help but think to himself that the conditions possessed by Barkley, Ewing, and Miller and the teams they were in were not weaker than Jordan at a certain period of time. But in the end they were still without the title, so whose era are the three of them in?
……

The All-Star Weekend finally reached its climax on the last day. More than 20 All-Star players gathered at Toyota Arena, and the Starlight War was about to begin.

"Welcome to all viewers to watch the 2013 NBA All-Star Game brought to you by TNT on time. Today it will still be me and Charles, Kenny and Shaq who will be the commentary partners." Ernie made the opening speech, "The game hasn't started yet, let's talk a little bit. what?"

After Ernie finished speaking, Kenny and Shaq immediately couldn't hold back their laughter and burst out laughing.

"Jaded Buechler, Charles, do you know this person?" Ernie looked at Buckley, a smile appeared on his lips unconsciously.

"Shxt, Bro." After complaining, Barkley shouted to the camera solemnly, "Thank you, LeBron, thank you for your recognition of me, but it would be better if you could choose a more ideal player to compare with me. alright."

"Of course I know Buechler, he is a good man, but obviously, he does not have any personal honor." Barkley expressed helplessness with his hands.

"OK, let's also talk about this topic, Kobe or LeBron, Shaq, as the person who probably knows Kobe the best in the world, and you were also LeBron's teammate, what do you think?" Ernie took out this The hottest topic of the weekend, I believe fans are also looking forward to TNT's views on this.

"I agree with what Mike said, LeBron is still young, he is only 28 years old, he may put another ring on his finger this year, he still has many opportunities to make his career great, but as far as At present, Kobe, who already has 5 crowns in his hand, is obviously the better side, LeBron has not reached the time when he can be compared with Kobe, let’s talk about it when his ring can be worn on one hand.” O’Neill recognized Fan James, but it is still the championship theory, 5 is greater than 1.

"Charles, what about you?" Ernie turned the topic to Buckley again.

"Listen, I didn't play against LeBron, but I played against Kobe later in my career, in the regular season and in the playoffs, and I gotta say, Kobe Bean Bryant was awesome. Excited, he is going to destroy his opponent on the court, no matter who it is, sorry, LeBron, I have to say, Kobe is a more powerful existence." Barkley replied firmly.

"LeBron said that whether you have a ring or not depends on the era you are in. He mentioned Patrick Ewing, Reggie Miller and Charles." Ernie looked at Barkley mid-sentence. "OK, I admit it. McQueen ruled the 90s. We once had a chance to defeat the Bulls, but McQueen destroyed us with an average of 41 points per game." Barkley said with a look of conviction. That finals completely made Barker fat. I am convinced of my good friend Jordan and am convinced.

"McKun dominated the 90s." Ernie concluded. Looking around, the other three players who experienced that era had no objections. "What about the 00s? Was there one person who dominated these 10 years?"

"Shaq, Tim, Kobe." Kenny proposed his own candidates.

Three people only missed the championship twice in the 00s, the civilian Pistons and the resurgent Green Army.

O'Neal has no objection to this. The only thing is to emphasize his leading position: "I am the best, winning three consecutive FMVPs and three consecutive FMVPs, but Tim and Kobe are also one of the best players in this decade. They can compete with me." stand together."

"So, LeBron James was still a challenger in his first seven years in the league." Ernie concluded, "LeBron James, who is now on the South Coast, is heading towards the second championship of his career. Is there any hope of becoming the ruler of this 7-year period?"

Some fans sneered at this. Putting aside the game, James surprised the league during the offseason that had just entered its 10th year. He dominated the league, dominating live broadcast traffic and news topics.

I will bring my talent to XXX, which once became the most popular phrase. Although Chen Xiao verified that it actually existed in ancient times.

"He will probably become one of the rulers, with one championship in hand, and then he may win consecutive championships or even create a Heat dynasty, but obviously, you know, he will not become the same ruler as Jordan, the unquestionable ruler. ” O’Neill commented.

Mavericks fans who are paying attention to the All-Star Game and listening to the serious chats of the TNT commentary team before the game will smile. Obviously, if they want to match Jordan or even surpass Jordan, then the Heat should win two consecutive championships now.

"The Big Three lost to Dirk, hum, LeBron James was dominated by the German tanks first." A Mavericks fan named "Golden Rooster Independence" tweeted.

"Shaq is right. Last year, the Heat almost lost to the Celtics. This year, the Bobcats have been occupying the top spot in the Eastern Conference for a long time. I even doubt whether the Heat can break out of the Eastern Conference this year. If the Heat remain the same in the next two games, If it is difficult to win, I would rather the league return to the era of center dominance than LeBron." Barkley made an impassioned statement.

While the commentators were "warming up" for the game, the All-Star players also finished warming up and walked onto the court one after another.

"First of all, congratulations to Kobe Bryant. After stepping on this floor, he has also become the player with the most All-Star starts in the NBA with 14 All-Star starts. At least at this point, he has surpassed McQueen and Kareem. .”

Paul, Griffin, Kobe, Howard, Durant, Chen Xiao and five opponents gave friendly gestures. As far as the eye could see, the huge All-Star pattern on the floor was extremely conspicuous.

With signals broadcast in 215 countries and 47 languages, and with the attention of tens of millions of people around the world, Chen Xiao came to the center line and stood opposite Warcraft.

During the pre-game warm-up session, the players who were also paying attention to the pre-game public opinion news were obviously watching the excitement and not taking it too seriously. Howard from the Western Conference said that he jumps the ball every day, but he didn’t want to jump today. The other players were heckled and asked Kobe to jump.

The same is true here in the East. Chen Xiao said that he was alone in defeating the ball. The fans must be tired of seeing it in the All-Star event. We should come up with some tricks and let the tallest person besides me do it properly.There is no serious power forward in the Eastern Conference, and James is the next one.

The two sides communicated for a while, but in the end it didn't work out. Kobe agreed, but James said, you know, the jump ball is a matter for the Giants, and Chen Xiao and Dwight should still be allowed to do it.

It seems that it is still a bit difficult to stage a face-to-face "23vs24" at the beginning.

Today's referee was Leon Wood, who was wearing referee uniform No. 40. He took back the basketball that had been caressed by Gua Ge and Warcraft and came to the midline.

Referee Wood was about to serve. Chen Xiao, who was wearing the ALLSTAR logo, was twisting left and right, but he was very relaxed. Unlike a junior brother who was debuting in the All-Star Game for the first time, his expression was relaxed. After completing a set of "broadcast gymnastics", he bent down slightly and performed a take-off. action.

The moment the basketball took off Wood's hands and rose up, Howard, who had spring-like feet on his feet, jumped up and hit the ball toward the Western backcourt with his right hand.

Chen Xiao, who rarely missed a jump ball, ran happily to the backcourt. It was time for him to lose. Dugu Qiubai was also in a high position. Of course, Warcraft was indeed a great threat. This time, if he didn't have enough energy, he would give it to Warcraft. Down the ball.

After the kickoff, the Eastern side still put up a decent defensive formation. After all, they were all regulars, so they were not as incompetent as the rookie recruits the day before yesterday.

However, Walker, who was selected as an All-Star for the first time and took the first step directly, was still excited. He defended quite seriously in front of Paul, who took the ball to the top of the arc.

"Hey, Kemba, relax." Paul was not in a hurry to break through or pass the ball, so he expressed relief when his younger brother Walker was nervous.

Then, his old partner White Monster came up for a pick-and-roll, and Paul easily broke into the paint. Facing James' defense, he jumped up and passed the ball. Griffin easily caught the ball under the basket. After sinking the ball and accumulating power, Paul dunked hard with both hands, "Boom."

At this time, Chen Xiao, who had a few symbolic squeezes with Howard, actually had enough space to give Griffin a hat. It was not pleasant to give the White Monster, who had been selected as the All-Star starter for consecutive times, but Chen Xiao still felt uncomfortable after thinking about it. As the person who ruins the atmosphere, we are not a new recruit like Walker. We still need to be relaxed and calm, and we should not be hasty for a while if we want to use real weapons.

"Come on~" Chen Xiao clapped his hands, and the clapping sound was extremely loud with the support of the most high-end radio at the scene.

At this time, Kobe was outside the three-point line in front of Chen Xiao. He received a pass from his teammate and stood up with the ball.

Chen Xiao said he wanted Kobe to use his strength, but he just stretched his hand forward and immediately returned to his position without raising his hand.

"Kobe Bryant for Three~" The ball held by Kobe was all

Without putting it down, he paused and took action.

The movements were not fully completed, and "bang" was the first piece of semi-fine iron in this match. Some of the short movements were not picturesque enough. According to Chen Xiao's close analysis, the quality of the iron was also slightly compromised.
