Chapter 481 Entrance Ceremony
Wade's massage had somewhat relaxing effects.

The entrance of the stars in the All-Star Game has always been quite interesting. This time the league adopted a special way of entering the field. The substitute players of both sides stepped onto the stage at one time and stood side by side at the back of the stage.

When entering the arena, the team members were obviously a little nervous and couldn't let go. They simply waved to the audience and walked straight to their seats.

When the substitute players entered the arena, there was a lot of cheering at the scene, but when it was the turn of the starters to enter the arena, the audience fell into madness almost instantly, including the stars and famous people, who also followed the fiery atmosphere of the scene and joined the hustle and bustle.

The entry introduction of the starting players this time is different from the previous ones. It is based on the corresponding positions of the players on the field, and the Wade team and the James team will introduce them in turn.

"Welcome the first All-Star member of the James team, 2-time All-Star, All-Defensive Team, block leader, center from the Minnesota Timberwolves, No. 13 player Sanchez!"

The elevator carrying Sanchez slowly raised Sanchez from the ground. As Sanchez's appearance was gradually completed, the audience gave warm applause. As the league's block leader, Sanchez's blocks will always bring a strong deterrent to opponents. He can contribute 2.9 blocks per game, bringing the greatest protection to the Timberwolves' basket.

After introducing the James team, then introduce the center of the Wade team.

"From the Detroit Pistons, the best representative of a powerful insider, a three-time All-Star player, the league's rebounding leader, and No. 3 Wallace!!!"

Wallace inherited his surname's innate sense of rebounding. His height is not outstanding among the league's top centers, and he was selected with the 26th overall pick in the first round. However, he has become the player with the most strong rebounds in the league with his own efforts. He has accomplished many feats of 30+ rebounds in a single game.

After introducing the center, it is the introduction of the power forward position.

The power forward of the James team is Muller from the Denver Nuggets. Although he is in the power forward position, he has comprehensive skills and a soft shooting touch. He played as a point guard since he was a child. He has good ball handling ability and excellent coping ability. He is an organizational power forward.

Seeing his beloved apprentice, Karl also looked proud. Mueller is a typical example of a counterattack. He has never been favored to be an All-Star. Karl's training is indispensable.

The power forward of the Wade team is Lyles of the Spurs. Lyles' statistics on the field are not amazing, but he is very stable. He is one of the few players in the league who averages more than 10 shots per game and still maintains a 60% shooting rate. Lyles' style of play is not gorgeous, but his choices are extremely deadly.

Scout's evaluation: Lyles is the second Tim Duncan.

His style of play fits perfectly with the Spurs' style of play, and in San Antonio's post-GDP and post-Popovich era, Lyles is undoubtedly the greatest comfort for Spurs fans.

The stable to terrible output made Wade completely unable to find a reason to reject him, so he was chosen at a very high position at will, and he was also firmly in the starting lineup because of the number of votes.

James' small forward is Barrett of the Heat, the toughest player in the league, who can provide firepower for the team anytime and anywhere, and at the same time ignite the enthusiasm of the fans.

Barrett's style of play is sharp and entertaining. His game is like an All-Star, which can always be a feast for the eyes. This time, Barrett is ready to surprise the audience.

Wade is also very good at creating atmosphere. He mentioned the Nets star Chris, who was originally a point guard, to the position of small forward, which happened to match up with Barrett. This decision also satisfied the inner thoughts of the two.

Regarding the grievances between Barrett and Chris, the fans couldn't be more clear, so when they learned that the two played in the same position on the field, the audience also booed.

In any case, the matchup between Barrett and Chris is bound to be exciting.

If you want to choose a star whose playing style is the most suitable for the All-Star stage, then this person must be Chris. His playing style is so gorgeous that people are unknowingly intoxicated by his skills.

Every touch Chris has has the magic of igniting the field.

As for the position of shooting guard, James' choice is the core shooting guard of the Pacers: Fox, he is known as "the first of the new four major shooting guards". This is his fourth All-Star game.

Wade selected another "new four shooting guards", Hudson, who is also Fox's old enemy Washington Wizards.

Fox and Hudson entered the league in the same year, but their starting points were different. Fox entered the league with the third overall pick. He was the starter at the beginning and has always been the team's key training target, while Hudson was selected with the 15th overall pick in the first round. Out of control, the scoring average has risen to 27.5 points, second only to Fox in the ranking of shooting guards.

The duel between the league's No. [-] shooting guard and the No. [-] shooting guard sparks everywhere when you think about it.

The final point guard appearance: James and Wade, both of whom have played multiple All-Star games and have rich experience.

This matchup is somewhat surprising. Wade has been at the point guard this season, but James has never played a point guard game this season. He is an excellent point forward, but what kind of performance he can play at the point guard is still very exciting.

All the starting players have appeared, and the 24 players standing on the stage are star-studded.

Suddenly, the painting style changed suddenly, and Shaquille O'Neal suddenly became very danceable off the court. He danced towards the stage in the auditorium. O'Neal, whose beard was already gray, was not inferior to the younger generation in terms of vitality.

Where there is O'Neal, there is no shortage of surprises. He knows how to cater to the atmosphere of the All-Star Game, and he knows how to push the atmosphere to a higher climax. Seeing the excited O'Neal, the players on the stage danced together to the intense music, and immediately formed a lively scene of dancing on and off the court.
