Soul of the Golden State

Chapter 517

After the wonderful three-pointer contest ended, the slam dunk contest that followed was still very exciting in terms of the scene, and the game process was full of twists and turns. However, such a game could no longer make the audience's emotions return to highest point.

To put it simply, in the last round of the game, the dopamine in the brains of the fans had been secreted too much, and they were too excited.

So much so that it has entered the sage mode now, and it is completely uninteresting.Therefore, in the face of the hard-working performances of many dunkers, the fans have never been as happy as watching Jordan shoot a three-pointer.

In fact, this year's slam dunk contest is quite intense.

In the first round of preliminaries, the first-year rookie, "Rain Man" Kemp dunked twice and ranked first with a total score of 98.2 points, followed by Wilkins, Kenny Walker and Kenny Smith. The second to No.4 all advanced to the semi-finals, while Pippen, who participated in the competition for the first time, ranked fifth and was eliminated with a difference of 0.8 points.

Poor Pippen, since last season, the score of the slam dunk contest was accurate to one decimal place, which caused Pippen to lose so regrettably.

After entering the semi-finals, Kenny Smith unexpectedly got the highest score, and joined hands with Wilkins to reach the finals. Kemp performed poorly in the semi-finals and fell to No.4. In the last dunk Wang Kenny Walker was also eliminated along with Kemp with a slight gap of 0.3 points.

As a veteran who reached the final of the slam dunk contest for the fourth time, Wilkins finally defeated Kenny Smith in the final with his rich experience. After five years, he was crowned the "Slam Dunk King" again and became After Jordan, the second player to win the "Slam Dunk King" twice.

As Wilkins got his wish, the first day of the All-Star Weekend was officially over. The fans walked out of the arena unsatisfied, savoring the experience, and looking forward to the next day's main game.

This year's All-Star Game is not like last year when superstars retired, nor was it like the year before last when newcomers ascended the throne, which also makes this year's All-Stars still lack some highlights.

Moreover, due to the injuries of some old stars, some young stars joined this year, which made fans feel strange about these stars.

However, soon as the game started, when the various stars showed their housekeeping skills on the court, the fans soon became enthusiastic again.

No way, the fans are so realistic.

This year's Li Weisi, although he won the All-Star ticket again, it is a pity that for him, the team's poor situation makes it difficult for him to focus on the court.

Therefore, in tonight's game, he was completely fishing in troubled waters on the court, and he had no interest in competing for the AMVP at all.

On the contrary, Magic Johnson, who played quite aggressively, seemed to want to win the AMVP.

In fact, it's no wonder that he has been selected to the All-Star 10 times and participated in the All-Star Game for the ninth time, but Magic Johnson has never won the AMVP.

Seeing that Li Weisi and Jordan, who are younger than him, have already got it, if he doesn't get it, it may be difficult to get a chance in his life.

Therefore, Magic Johnson, who has always been popular, communicated with other teammates in the locker room before the start of the game, expressing his hope to get this AMVP, and at the same time gave each teammate a watch.

For these All-Star teammates, the magician did not lose any of them. Even Karl Malone, who had an awkward situation last year, the magician still gave him a piece.

Although Karl Malone himself is a master who is not afraid of anything, but in the face of the magician's gift, Malone still accepted it, and did not quarrel with the magician.

In fact, it's not that Ma Long is afraid of magicians. As a person who is not even afraid of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, it is impossible for him to be afraid of magicians!
The reason why Malone accepted the magician's kindness is because he himself knew that it would be difficult to compete with the magician for the AMVP.

The magician is a point guard, and the ball is basically either in his hands or in the hands of Li Weisi. If he wants to win the AMVP, then he needs Li Weisi's full support, but if you think about it with your heels, you know that this is impossible!

Since he couldn't compete, Malone simply took advantage of the slope to get off the donkey, which happened to ease his relationship with the magician.

With these early foreshadowings, coupled with the lack of manpower, almost all the western teams let the magicians attack tonight, and sometimes they will actively create opportunities for the magicians.

However, at the same time, the Eastern team did not receive a gift from the magician, so they naturally would not show mercy, so the two teams played fiercely.

Li Weisi played for more than 5 minutes in the first quarter, and left the field early in less than 6 minutes. Although he made it clear that he would not compete with the magician, he was too lazy to play hard.

The head coach of the Western team this year is Nelson again. Since Riley, the head coach of the Lakers in the West, has been an All-Star head coach last year, it is Nelson's turn this year.

As his own coach, Nelson certainly knew what Li Weisi was thinking, so he took the initiative to replace Li Weisi with Li Fu before Li Weisi even spoke.

The following game was uneventful, and Richmond also appeared in the last 2 minutes of the first quarter, officially entering the All-Star game.

It's a pity that as a second-year rookie, his status naturally cannot be compared with other big shots, so he still seems somewhat transparent on the court, and rarely has the opportunity to perform.

Nelson also didn't let Richmond play more. After all, this year's injury situation really scared Nelson. If Richmond was injured in the All-Star Game, where would he go to reason?

In this way, the entire All-Star has almost nothing to do with Li Weisi. They go to the point to make a card, and then fish in troubled waters for a few minutes, just like this. At the decisive moment of the fourth quarter, Nelson even directly hid Li Weisi. It was useless He came to play the final stage.

In the end, the magician got what he wanted. With a mid-range jumper in the final stage, the magician helped the western team seal the victory and beat the eastern team 133:130. The magician scored 25 points and 8 assists, regardless of the score. Still, the assists are the highest in the game, and naturally won the AMVP trophy without dispute.

Li Weisi played a total of 15 minutes, the least playing time among the five starters. This is seriously inconsistent with his status as the All-Star ticket champion, and many of his fans feel a little disappointed.

However, even so, he still made 6 of 4 shots and scored 11 points with amazing efficiency.

With the end of the All-Star Game, the entire All-Star Weekend has come to an end, and it also indicates that the second half of the regular season is about to begin.
