Basketball's best forward and guard

Chapter 248 168 [What is an All-Star]

Bang!
Sure enough, as the champion of the new slam dunk contest, Bayonet immediately contributed a visual feast for people with a passionate basketball back dunk.

.........

From the perspective of the entire first quarter, both sides maintained a good level of competition intensity. Therefore, at the end of the first quarter, neither side scored more than 30 points in a single quarter.

Frankly speaking, compared with the previous All-Star games, this score in a single quarter is very different, because under normal circumstances, with the current intensity of the league, the average score in a single quarter in a regular season game is 30 points. Points are not difficult to do.

"This is unexpected. Although the two sides have shown a serious attitude from the beginning of the game, to be honest, they are a bit too serious. Since the first quarter of the game, there are so many All-Stars on both sides, and no player has scored. Breaking through 10 points is unimaginable in previous competitions."

The atmosphere in the TNT broadcast room was a bit strange at this time, because for Shaq O'Neal and the others, of course they felt that a more serious All-Star game would be better, but to be honest, they didn't expect the two sides to be serious enough.

"So, in this game tonight, who will win from the East and the West? Who will be the All-Star Most Valuable Player?"

Kenny Smith will always play the role of throwing bricks and jade in the middle of the tnt trio.

"It's hard to say. On the surface, the West has the Bayonets, LeBron James and Stephen Curry. Under normal circumstances, their chances of winning will be greater, but in fact, the East is also not a fuel-efficient lamp. Antetokounmpo, Kawhi Kawhi Leonard and Kevin Durant, they are equally capable of leading the East to victory"

"Of course, if I had to make a prediction, then I'd be on the West's side"

No one should be surprised by the last prediction Charles Barkley made, as the bayonets are in the West.

"I also think the West will win, but I don't think this is the reason why the bayonet is in the West, but the last few All-Star games, the West always wins in the end"

That's it, in the tnt live room, you can never see a consistent rhythm, because Charles Barkley and Shaquille O'Neal are always singing the opposite tune.

Kenny Smith shook his head, obviously he has been used to this situation for so many years.

"After the first quarter of the game, the player who got the highest score in the game now is the 9 points of the Eastern All-Star captain Antetokounmpo. From this point of view, if the Eastern All-Star team finally wins, then Antetokounmpo has nothing Doubt is the most likely recipient of the All-Star MVP"

"And the current score is second only to Antetokounmpo is the bayonet of the Western All-Star captain. The bayonet scored 8' in the first quarter. Similarly, if the bayonet can beat the Western All-Stars and win, then he is the most valuable All-Star player"

"So, to a certain extent, the competition for the Most Valuable Player of this year's All-Star is actually the competition for the captains of the Eastern and Western All-Stars."

Fans are more and more full of expectations for this intense stimulation.

"Just enjoy, this is my first All-Star, for me, it's great, a wonderful start"

"Yes, this is what I proposed with Giannis. There must be a change, right? We can't repeat the past forever. I am very grateful to my teammates and Giannis' teammates for supporting our proposal"

"So, everyone has also seen that a dozen or twenty All-Stars are going all out between offense and defense. This time, this game is completely exciting."

Jiang Hao was interviewed by reporters on the sidelines during the break between festivals. Facing the camera, Jiang Hao admitted frankly that his proposal with Brother Antetokounmpo made the game uncharacteristically serious from the beginning of the game.

In addition, Jiang Hao also said that he felt that this was a successful proposal. It not only won the support of other All-Stars, but also attracted more attention from fans. Jiang Hao told reporters that as the Western All-Star Captain, he understands that the All-Star game is second and entertainment is the first, but he naturally hopes that the Western All-Star team will win in the end.

This year's All-Stars, the head coach of the Western All-Stars is Dallas Mavericks head coach Rick Carlisle, and the head coach of the Eastern All-Stars is Nurse of the Toronto Raptors.

Obviously, as the head coaches of the two teams with the best records in the East and West, it is reasonable for Rick Carlisle and Nas to be selected as the head coaches of the All-Star Game.

Of course, for the two head coaches, like the fans, they also didn't know that this game would increase the intensity of the game before the game started, and everyone will play seriously.

Therefore, when the first quarter of the game was over, the two of them also communicated with their team captains. Both of them obviously wanted to know from their respective team captains what the final rhythm of the game would be. In the same way, should we only play high-intensity in the first quarter of the game, or continue to play like this throughout the game.

"Of course it was played like that the whole game"

Jiang Hao told Rick Carlisle with certainty.

"However, this will exceed everyone's expectations, and various accidents may occur. Once someone is injured, you as the captain will definitely be under various pressures, and Jiang, I must remind you that you cannot work too hard. We must put more Save more energy for the game after the All-Star Weekend, because winning this season is our biggest goal.”

Rick Carlisle thought about it again and again, but he still spoke his mind. To be honest, in his eyes, games like the All-Stars are meant to be entertaining.Jiang Hao really didn't need to pay too much attention to it. He felt that Jiang Hao was putting the cart before the horse, and he might end up with a thankless result.

"Rick, I understand your concern, but I want to ask you a question, what is an All-Star? What is a championship?"

Jiang Hao looked at Rick Carlisle very seriously. To be honest, he felt that Rick Carlisle's thoughts were too selfish.

"Without the audience, there would be no actors. In other words, the real driving force for the development of the NBA to today is not the players, not Michael Jordan, nor Kobe Bryant, nor you and me, but the fans. If there are no ballless fans Our support, we are no different from ordinary people, we are not all-stars”

"In the same way, if there are no fans, is the championship still meaningful?"

"Rick, you know me. On the court, I will never regard the game as pure entertainment. As long as I stand on the court, I will go all out. This is not rigid, but instinct. Besides, you also I see, everyone agrees with my proposal.”
