You are the pearl, Mo Mengchen

Chapter 637
This year's Rookie Challenge is quite interesting. In the second grade, Carter has already been selected as an All-Star, so he will not participate in the Rookie Challenge.

Nowitzki is absent due to injury, which is regrettable.

Carter and Nowitzki can be said to be the strongest immediate combat power among the second-year players. If they don't participate, the second grade will lack a super-class ace core.

The rookie team, led by No. [-] pick Elton Brand, played steadily.

Although Ginobili was also selected for the rookie team, he was only a substitute, and the coach didn't like him very much. He only got the chance to play in the last 3 minutes of the first quarter and the last 5 minutes of the third quarter.

In nine minutes of playing time, he impresses in two acts.

One of the scenes took place in the last minute of the first quarter, when Ginobili forced Bibby hard, using his tough style different from other European players to make the white devil realize the deep potential of the Argentine.

Ginobili averaged 17 minutes of playing time per game in the Pistons, averaging 8 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists per game. style of.

Free running and bombing, there is no limit to his talent.

This is the biggest difference between Detroit and Sacramento. Under Adelman's hands, Bibby became a porter who lost himself, while Ginobili developed freely according to his original track. The weird Eurostep got rid of Bibby. Forcing a 2+1 - Bibby again, who serves as the backdrop for Ginobili's impressive second-act performance.

The current narrator still calls him by his first name.

"Manuel Ginobili, what beautiful feet!"

I don't know how long it will be before similar exclamations shorten his name to "Manu" for convenience?

The stunning second act was a fast-break counterattack. Ginobili held the ball in one hand and slammed it forward.

The ball hit the ground, spun quickly, crossed the second-year defensive line, and gave it to Odom.

In return for this second pass, Odom resorted to a left-handed dunk to end the attack.

Ginobili's statistics don't look very good, but every point he gets and every action he makes are deeply imprinted in the hearts of fans.

From this point of view, he is very similar to Mo Mengchen.

They are the kind of players who perform more, have a greater impact on people, and are more impressive to others.

In addition to Ginobili, there is another person who is impressive.

That person is white chocolate.

This kind of game where seven points are serious and three-point performances is a natural stage for him, his evil spirit, his aura, his natural and never forced imagination, with that classic elbow pass Shocked the audience.

Although the elbow pass did not form an assist, this scene will surely become a classic and be played back constantly.

In the first grade, various show operations, the top pick Lang Brand, who can already contribute 20+10 steadily, is in charge of harvesting the game.

Facing the bleak second year, Brand was unstoppable, bombarded inside, and finally led the rookie team to victory over the second year.

Brand also won the Rookie Challenge MVP trophy.

Then came the preliminaries of the individual competitions. Skills competitions and three-point competitions were insignificant. As for the slam dunk contest, it was the highlight of the crowd's anticipation.

Because Carter signed up.

Carter was able to win the league's third-ranked vote rate as a sophomore, of course not only because of his rapid progress, but also because of his top-notch game viewing.

Before the game even started, Sure Smith said; "The tricks on the court can't revive the game."

His partner, Ernie Johnson, followed up: "We've struggled in the dunk contest for a few years now, in large part because the top players don't want to participate."

In terms of star power, no slam dunk contest can match the 80s.In those days, eight of the best players in the league routinely participated in the game.But by the 2000 slam dunk contest, the NBA completed a strategic change.

The league selected six of its most promising young players.

They were Carter, McGrady, Francis, Stackhouse, Hughes and Antawn Jamison.

"Jerome, did you bring my video camera?" Mo Mengchen asked.

Williams yelled, "Ready, Dad!"

"If a frame is missed, I only ask you!" Mo Mengchen shouted.

"You still have a camera?"

Miller was frightened by him, isn't it just a slam dunk contest?It looks like no one has seen it. A few years ago, Kobe was able to win the championship with an ugly crotch dunk. It can be seen that the slam dunk contest is dead, so what is there to look forward to?
Little did the gang realize that the moment Carter stepped foot here would change the Slam Dunk Contest forever.

"Let's wait and see." Mo Mengchen said.

No accidents.

Carter started from the left and rushed to the basket, and after a few powerful dribbles, he took off.He made a 360-degree turn, but the direction of the turn was reversed, which seemed unnatural for a right-handed dunker.It didn't matter, though, as he finished the spin with a windmill and then dunked the ball into the basket with a ferocity never seen before.This ball got the first full score of the night - 50 points.

Just come up and come up with a dunk like that -- everybody's like, "Wow, wait a second! Let me react!" We've never seen a dunk like this, no one's ever done it, are you sure it's Was it your first dunk?
It took a long time for the crowd to calm down, long enough for Stackhouse and Davis to pull off their first dunks in obscurity.

Everyone only cares about how Carter will dunk the next ball, but there are still two opponents, McGrady and Francis, who did not surrender.On the second dunk, Tracy McGrady came up with a solid alley-oop with two hands, and Francis pulled off what might have been his best dunk of the night -- leaning toward the rim from a toss and a catch while pulling the ball Get behind to your ankles and slam the ball hard into the hoop.In the second dunk, McGrady scored 49 points, while Francis scored 50 points.

For many, it's all over.

By the end of the preliminaries, everyone knows who will wear the crown.

Miller couldn't help shaking his head. The sharpshooter who had few dunks in his career murmured, "Maybe, the slam dunk contest is not over yet."

However, in the next day's All-Star Game, it wasn't Mo Mengchen, the popular king, or Carter, who attracted countless fans in the slam dunk contest, but two power forwards, Duncan and Garnett, who showed their talents.

One of them represented the East and the other represented the West, and each scored the highest points in the division for the division.

Every time Mo Mengchen catches the ball, it will cause a tsunami on the scene. Although this is the home court of the Warriors, they have not been able to avoid the All-Star curse (teams that hold the All-Star Weekend at home will encounter bad luck that season. thing), this season, no one from the Warriors was selected as an All-Star.

Therefore, the audience here can only support people from other teams.

Mo Mengchen's popularity is already amazing, and with his Asian face, it is completely reasonable that he is popular in the Bay Area.

This game was not completely without gunpowder. O'Neill was very angry. He had been looking for an opportunity to dunk Mo Mengchen to vent his anger, but it was a pity that Mo Mengchen didn't go inside at all.

He failed to get the opportunity to deal with Mo Mengchen, but was seized by Mo Mengchen. After calling the pick-and-roll, he hit the ground and passed to Duncan beautifully.

Duncan took the ball, set fire to the sky, and even dunked the big shark on the spot.

Mourning, who could see clearly under the basket, stroked Duncan's head affectionately.

This surprised Duncan for a while. It was always him who touched other people's heads, but today it turned out to be the other way around.

The classic ball happened multiple times tonight.

Mo Mengchen also contributed a goal to add to the fun, and that goal was an accident.

He picked up a rebound from the outside before the end of halftime. At this time, there was still one second before the end of the time. They had no time. Therefore, Mo Mengchen simply used the power of one hand to throw the ball 20 meters like a football quarterback. outside the basket.

Miraculously, he threw it in.

The audience at the scene was full of faces, "Did you see it? This is fucking basketball?"

Then there was "Dor.Mo!" resounding through the audience.

Without a chance to seek revenge from Mo Mengchen, O'Neill could only force himself to divert his attention to entertain the public.

In the third quarter, he played singles with the ball from the outside. When he saw the Sharks dribble towards the basket, no one dared to step forward to touch him, so he simply emptied the restricted area for him to perform.

O'Neal fulfilled his mission and turned 180 degrees and dunked and scored.

Two minutes later, the confrontation between Kobe and Iverson became a classic.

Kobe first bullied Iverson for his short stature and made a three-pointer. Seeing Iverson's energy, Mo Mengchen immediately picked up the ball and sent it to him to counterattack.

Due to the suspension of the 1998-1999 season (the All-Star season was canceled), this is the first time that AI participated in the All-Star Game. The first time is always exciting. Kobe is the biggest threat to him.

A classic ball appeared.

Iverson's dribbler suddenly raised the ball a little bit. Carter on the right thought it was an alley-oop pass and flew up excitedly, but he didn't find the basketball.

It was just Iverson's blindfold. He flicked the ball gently, and the ball rolled in front of his eyes. Then, he jumped up, grabbed the ball with both hands in the air, and picked the ball into the basket in an extremely beautiful way.

For this ball, Kobe, Carter, Duncan and Mo Mengchen behind them all entered the shot.

The two Utah veterans and Admiral Robinson formed this All-Star senior tour group. This was the penultimate All-Star appearance in their careers. Stockton scored more than a dozen points, while Malone and the Admiral each swallowed zero eggs. Just played for a few minutes symbolically.They knew that stage no longer belonged to them.

In the end, the Western All-Stars, who had a stronger desire to win, defeated the Eastern All-Stars.

O'Neal and Garnett were elected All-Star MVP at the same time.

The two of them toasted together, marking a successful end to the first All-Star Game in the new century.

Mo Mengchen stood aside silently, he didn't care about these things.

The end of the All-Star weekend means that the regular season is coming to an end, and the laughter at this time will turn into blood, tears and crying.

The next NBA will be very lively, the old king is gone, and the new king will be established.In troubled times, heroes compete for the throne.

　The monthly ticket breaks [-], today is the third change
