NBA's strongest prince

Chapter 276: First Change
The rookies selected by the Suns every year are actually very good, but because there are not many opportunities to perform, there is no one from them in this rookie game, and Russell is too lazy to go to the scene to watch.

But while staying with his girlfriend in the hotel, he still watched the live broadcast by the way.

There are also good players in this rookie game, but there is no particularly popular type.

In the end, the second-year team easily defeated the first-year team, and David Lee won the MVP of the rookie game.

Russell feels that the level of the rookie competition is still a bit low, and there is no suspense in the competition, and it is not as good-looking as a girlfriend.

In the second day's game, Russell did not go to the scene either, and now he has nothing to desire.

And all kinds of competitions, in fact, are just like that, not as good as official competitions.

The Detroit team won the mixed shooting competition. Now the players participating in this project are not as good as Bosh, Russell feels that it is not interesting.

However, the episode in the game was more attractive. There was an accident in the game for the Chicago team. When they shot a three-pointer from the baseline, they collided with a ball shot by someone who did not know, and the ball went into the basket instead. There was a celebration, only to have their score canceled after the referee watched the video.

Such a situation will also occur in the performance competition above the All-Stars, which makes people laugh a little bit.

The next skill competition is still professional, and it will be competed by Wade, Kobe, Paul and James.

James didn't participate in the slam dunk contest that the outside world expected, but he came to the skill contest again, which was also speechless.

I don't know if he has no confidence or what. If Russell is expected by so many fans and releases his words, he will definitely perform. After all, he can't win the championship in skill competitions.

In the end, Wade and Kobe entered the finals. Unfortunately, Kobe made a mistake in the finals, which caused the finals to be less exciting than the preliminaries, and Wade easily won the championship.

In fact, in the games above the All-Stars, there are many accidental reasons for winning or losing, and it is hard to say that it represents strength.

So many stars lack interest, but making it purely technical will lose entertainment, so the league is also more difficult to manage.

The subsequent three-point contest was considered to have more players participating, and the fans still regret that Russell did not continue.

But Russell has already participated, and fans can understand.

Compared with the winning streak created by the Suns before, the All-Star game is really nothing.

"Who do you think will win the championship? Arenas seems to be pretty good, he fought so fiercely with you last time." Nora asked casually.

Nora is also watching the live broadcast with Russell, and now she also knows a lot about basketball, although it is still relatively superficial.

It doesn’t matter if everyone’s hobbies are different, as long as they can understand each other, Russell will also accompany Nora to watch her favorite movies, or reality shows, there is nothing to embarrass.

"The All-Star game is not necessarily the case. Pure shooters are more comfortable with the three-point game. On the contrary, star players will be a little uncomfortable because they have less time to hold the ball." Russell also said casually.

He doesn't know if the result of the game will be the same as in the original history, but the pure shooting game is indeed different from the shooting in the game, because the time is limited, people who like to dribble a few times before shooting in the game may not be able to play. good.

However, Arenas performed really well in the qualifiers, with 23 points being the highest among all players, and entered the final together with Nowitzki and Kapono.

It was a bit of a slap in the face, but Russell was thick-skinned and unmoved at all.

However, both Arenas and Nowitzki performed poorly in the final, and Kapono won the championship with 24 points, which seemed to prove Russell's statement.

Of course, what he said is just a situation, and the chance of this kind of game is still relatively large.

However, the previous games were all determined by strength, but the more popular slam dunk contest will have a certain degree of subjectivity.

Russell has always disliked games scored by judges, and sports should be decided by athletes.

Of course, this does not prevent him from watching the live broadcast of the game.

Generally, there are not many big names in the slam dunk contest. This year, there are short ones, the last slam dunk champion Nate Robinson, and tall ones, not so famous Dwight, Howard, Tyrus Thomas and the Celtics. Gerald Green.

Small players in the dunk contest may have sympathy points, but Nate was the last champion, because the difficulty of defending the title will increase, which can be said to cancel each other out.

Relatively speaking, big players dunks will not be so aesthetically pleasing.

As for referees, sometimes they like creativity, and sometimes they like pure dunks, which is hard to say.

In the end, Nate and Nine Fingers Dunk King entered the finals. However, in the finals, Nate made consecutive mistakes and wasted a lot of time. This time, the referee did not get used to him, and Green easily won the championship.

This leads to a decline in the excitement of the comparison. Fans all want to see a super showdown. However, during the All-Star Weekend, which is mainly about entertainment, the preparation time of the players varies. It is normal for accidents to occur.

The games of the first two days are over, and then there is only the most watched All-Star game.

Russell is still looking forward to the main game. This time D'Antoni is coaching again, and they also have the opportunity to operate.

Because of Dayao's injury, Stoudemire got the chance to start.

Russell has already spoken to several teammates, and this time he will help everyone perform.

Especially Stoudemire, he needs some encouragement after the injury, of course Russell didn't say it directly.

As the boss of the team, he should treat everyone equally, and the same is true on the field, but Stoudemire has the opportunity to start, and he will have more opportunities than the other two.

On February 2th, the All-Star Game began.

The starters in the West are Russell, Kobe, Garnett, Duncan and Stoudemire, and the East is Arenas, Wade, James, Bosh and O'Neal.

There are still a few power forwards in the West who are relatively popular, so there is no real third position in the starting lineup.

Each position is also feng shui in turn. In the past, many of the fourth positions were tool people, and they would not be so popular. Now, the fourth position is relatively popular, and it will be a small forward in a few years.

In fact, it also depends on the player's ability. If the performance is good enough, more fans will naturally like it.

The Suns have a large number of people this time, so Russell naturally smiled at the rest of the West.

There is no need to say hello to people, this feeling is cool.

Russell actually doesn't have any real enemies in the league, at most they are confrontations between teams, and he doesn't often make exaggerated remarks.

Of course, McGrady, who has some minor faults in the All-Stars, can only sulk now.

This season, he chose to participate in the All-Stars as a guard. In fact, he wanted to share Russell's votes. He didn't expect that because the fans' expectations of him were gone, he was not as good as Russell and Kobe in the past. He could only be a substitute. Fold soldiers.
