Versatile Point Forward

Chapter 139 All-Star Weekend ([-])
The All-Star Weekend is a good time to rest. Although Ye Feng fought a rookie challenge and won the MVP, but in the second day's main game, he completely sat on the sidelines and acted as a spectator.But the All-Star Game is really good, especially for a rookie like him who has just entered the league, it is simply a visual feast, and it is also a joy to watch a large group of top stars in the league compete on the court.There are many people who are equally interested in the All-Star Game as he is. The 2008 rookies sat in a row on the sidelines. No one mentioned the grievances of the NCAA period. Everyone looked at the game with intense eyes.

Thanks to the poor defense, six players in the East scored in double figures and seven players in the West. Kobe scored a game-high 23 points on 12 of 27 shots, helping the West beat the East 146-119.But the All-Star MVP is not his alone. Perhaps it is to eliminate the contradiction between the "OK combination", or O'Neal has stepped down from the altar. In the end, Kobe and O'Neal, the teammates and enemies of the year, won the MVP of this game. Sharing, when two people hold up the trophy together, it is considered to be a smile and an end to all grievances.The only thing Ye Feng feels a little uncomfortable about is that Yao Ming, as the starting center in the West, scored 12 points in 2 minutes of playing, the least score among all players in the West, but he is not alone. The starting point guard in the East, Iverson, played more After 4 minutes, he also only scored 2 points. Dayao can be regarded as having a companion.

But for the All-Star Game, everyone just wanted to have fun, otherwise how could they score such a high score?In fact, there are routines in this main game. In the first three quarters, everyone can play casually, and the coach can also change players casually. It is no problem if you dare to replace five small men or five big men, but in the fourth quarter, you will have to work hard. When the defensive strength comes up, everyone can play as they usually play.If you encounter some head coaches who are not entertaining, it is the top of the league who should cry, such as the 2006 Eastern Conference All-Star head coach Saunders.As the head coach of the Pistons at the time, he sent Billups, Hamilton and two Wallaces without any scruples in the last quarter, plus Pierce, and he just pulled back the huge disadvantage, but the game scene One can imagine how.

In addition to the main race, other competitions are also in full swing.In "Shooting Star", the Detroit United team composed of Afflalo, Lambiel and Katie Smith successfully won the championship after two rounds of competition, and once again won the shooting star championship after 2007.The Skills Challenge was the only game with rookies participating that day, and Rose also saved face for the rookies of the same class. Facing the three seniors, Devin Harris, Mo Williams and "French Sports Car" Parker, Rose first In the first round, he ranked first with a time of 33.3 seconds. In the final, he also only took 35.3 seconds to easily win the championship of the skills challenge.The competition between Howard and Nate Robinson in the slam dunk contest was exciting, but in the end, according to the player vote, Robinson became the dunk king for the second time with 52% to 48%.As for the three-point contest, Bibby, Cook, Granger, Kapono, Lewis and Mason participated in the competition, but everyone felt bad in the first round, and Cook, the highest, only scored 18 points. In the end, he won With 19 points, he became the champion of this year's three-point contest, but Ye Feng just wanted to say that this year's three-point contest was too weak.

Leaving aside the other things, he really wanted to participate in the three-point contest, but the league would not say so, even recommending himself.Speaking of this three-point contest, it is actually not as simple as it seems. This is an all-star repertoire. The contestant who gets the most points within 1 minute is the winner.There are a total of 5 shooting points in the three-point contest: two are symmetrical at the bottom angle, two are symmetrical at a 45-degree angle, and the other is at the top of the arc.There are 5 balls in each shooting spot, 4 balls (orange ball) get 2 point, and the final flower ball (red, blue, white) gets 30 points.The flower ball is called a "moneyball" and the full score is 1998 points.The game is normally divided into two rounds.Each player has one chance per round.The top three in the first round advance to the final.The second round will be played in the same format as the first round.In the event of the same score in the final, there will be an extra match until the ranking is obtained.It is worth mentioning that Hornacek, Ye Feng's shooting teacher, won three-point contest championships in 2000 and [-], which is tied for the second most in the league.

Ye Feng's eyes twitched when he saw those guys who were constantly hitting the iron outside the three-point line: You are not rookies who have just entered the league, so be nervous, especially Kapono, you are in the top three after all. You won the championship, and for two consecutive years, you were the one with the lowest score among the three finalists. The result was that there was no lowest score but lower scores. In the finals, you only scored 14 points, and you handed over the championship to Cook.Otherwise, he can be compared with seniors like Bird and become the third player in NBA history to win the three-point contest championship three times, let alone the three-point contest championship for three consecutive seasons.But there is no way, who told you to do it yourself?If you can't grasp a degree, you can only watch helplessly as others take away the championship trophy.

However, Ye Feng was depressed, so he still had a good time with his friends, and took Oden, Westbrook and Love around all day long. Fortunately, Phoenix is ​​the largest state capital in the United States, and its population exceeds that of other states The capital and the capital of the United States, Washington, D.C., is the third largest capital city in the United States in terms of area, and there are a lot of places for them to hang out.In addition, it is not summer that can kill people, the climate is warm and sunny, which is more conducive to their travel.Of course, the other three teamed up to kill Ye Feng, Ye Feng was not angry, friends, there is no need to worry about it so much.

But the rest time is always short. After the All-Star Weekend, the regular season will resume the battle.With the Thunder and Timberwolves basically out of the playoffs, Ye Feng's Trail Blazers have become the only hope for the UCLA troika. They don't want to end the season early and start vacationing, but now it seems that only Ye Feng Only then can we go further.Before parting, Westbrook and Love patted Ye Feng on the shoulder, and said proudly: "You try the intensity of the playoffs first, and we will all enter this rank soon. Don't come if you are eliminated by us. look for a job."

Ye Feng rolled his eyes, gave each of them a middle finger, and boarded the team's bus.
