The fans from all over China who were waiting in front of the live broadcast on TV and text live broadcast on mobile phones were naturally very excited at this time, celebrating Lin Fei's magical three-point championship:
"Oh my God, Lin Fei was so cool when he shot three-pointers blindfolded in the last two points. He was able to hit 8 out of 10 just like that. It's crazy!"
"Lin Fei's touch and muscle memory have long been engraved in his bones. He is the most talented three-point shooter in NBA history, bar none!"
"I won the championship with a record-breaking 28 points, and easily scored 30 points in the preliminaries. Is it necessary to continue the All-Star Three-Point Contest? As long as Lin Fei participates, there will be no suspense!"
"Look at the expressions of people like Ray Allen and Jason Terry. Haha, they were completely shocked by Feige's three-pointer!"
"This three-point contest alone is enough to make this year's All-Star Weekend go down in history. I'm afraid no one can take Fei Ge's title as the NBA's three-point king away from him before he retires!"
"Chinese basketball is on the rise. With Fei Ge and Yao here, our men's basketball team is not afraid of any powerful country in the world!"
"Both the country of Xiaoli and Bangzi are probably very tired now. From the two countries combined, there is only one Ha Shengzhen playing in the NBA, averaging only 1.4 points and 0.9 rebounds per game!"
"Ha Shengzhen will be laid off sooner or later. With his level, can he still dare to compete in the NBA? Bangziguo obviously used the back door of the American father. Not to mention compared with Fei Ge and Yao Ge, he is probably a few blocks behind. !”
Outside the Chinese dynasty, among all Asian yellow people, Lin Fei also quickly bred a large number of enthusiastic fans because of his skin color and appearance.
Of course, in areas such as Xiaoli and Bangziguo, some extremely extreme fans will still turn into haters to discredit Lin Fei and Tianchao Basketball.
"Suga, Lin only knows three-pointers. His glory in the NBA is just a flash in the pan, and his true colors will be revealed soon!"
"Lin winning the All-Star vote will only bring the NBA to a bad side. Basketball is a comprehensive sport, and there is really no beauty in just shooting three-pointers from the outside!"
"I really don't understand why Lin has so many fans? If it weren't for the fact that there are always superstar players around him to help, he would never have such a high level of attention!"
"Shaquille and Wade can easily win the championship even if they bring a dog with them, right?"
Although fans around the world have mixed praise and criticism for Lin Fei, they cannot deny that Lin Fei's sudden emergence has brought huge influence and changes to the NBA and world basketball.
Nowadays, in some youth basketball training camps in the United States and other countries, or on the wild courts, there are always figures wearing the No. 22 jersey of the Heat or Timberwolves.
These teenagers are all loyal supporters of Lin Fei. They have changed their habit of ball dominance on the court. Instead, they have seriously strengthened their movement without the ball. After participating in more pick-and-rolls, catching the ball and three-pointers have become the most important thing. way of scoring.
They competed against their friends wearing jersey No. 24, and competed against opponents wearing jersey No. 34, jersey No. 3, jersey No. 23 and jersey No. 1.
These stadiums are often filled with enthusiastic shouts:
"Hey, you're the only one who still shoots three-pointers? Do you think you're Lin?"
Looking back at the Pepsi Center in Denver, after the three-point contest ended, the fierce dunk contest also began soon.
A total of four people participated in this year’s All-Star Slam Dunk Contest, namely:
JR Smith (Hornets),
Josh Smith (Eagles),
Dwayne Wade (Heat),
Chris Anderson (Hornets).
The physical fitness of the four of them is quite strong, but in terms of reputation, Wade was selected as the starter in the Eastern Conference after all, and his influence is at least three levels higher than the other three.
In his rookie season, Josh Smith has not yet reached the height of the "Eagle King". In the Hawks, he was still an assistant to Antoine Walker and Al Harrington.
JR Smith is also in his rookie season. He and "Birdman" Anderson are currently playing in the Hornets and have not been traded to the Nuggets.
Wade and O'Neal cheered Lin Fei on the sidelines during the three-point contest. Now it's Lin Fei's turn to sit on the sidelines and cheer for his teammate Wade.
At this stage in 2005, the slam dunk contest was still very entertaining, and its popularity was significantly higher than that of the three-point contest.
Under the leadership of Kobe Bryant, Vince Carter, and Jason Richardson, who have won the dunk contest in previous years, the dunk contest has become more and more popular.
Originally, Wade did not like to participate in the dunk contest. During the All-Star season last season, Wade was still a rookie and was asked why he did not participate in the dunk contest.
After all, Wade's physical talent is obvious to all, and his dunks in actual combat are always quite explosive.
But Wade publicly stated in front of the media that his dunks were more about actual combat than performance.
However, this year the Heat's Big Three joined forces to join the Eastern Conference starting lineup. Wade's popularity is unprecedented. He has completely surpassed James and Anthony in the 2003 Platinum Generation, following Lin Fei.
Therefore, with the enthusiasm of the fans, Wade decided to participate in this All-Star Slam Dunk Contest.
After all, teammate Lin Fei also participated in the three-point contest, so Wade thought that he and Lin Fei could have good things come together and win the championship at the same time.
In terms of physical talent, Wade is definitely the strongest among the four. Therefore, according to expert predictions before the game, Wade's probability of winning has reached 60%.
During the preliminaries, Wade first made a rebound and then turned around 360 degrees and then dunked with his hands. This dunk directly received a full score of 50 points.
This extremely complete dunk alone shows Wade's explosive physical talent.
Not only Lin Fei but also O'Neal, Jason Williams, and others jumped up from their seats excitedly and applauded Wade.
Even James and Anthony were shocked by their friend's explosive dunk.
When Wade is fully healthy, his talent is truly incredible.
For the second dunk, Wade chose a more conservative one-step jump from the free throw line and switched hands in the air for a dunk. This action scored 45 points.
In the end, Wade entered the finals with Josh Smith with a high score of 95 points, while JR Smith and "Birdman" Anderson were eliminated.
In the first dunk of the final, Wade chose "Shark" O'Neal as his partner, and the suggestion for this action came from Lin Fei.
This is a complete imitation of Aaron Gordon's classic dunk, except that the mascot was replaced by O'Neal sitting on a stool.
Wade will sprint on one side, raise his legs high and fly over O'Neal's head while the ball changes hands under his legs to complete the dunk.
This action was all very difficult, and Wade did it twice before he successfully dunked the ball in.
The entire audience was in an uproar, and many fans marveled at Wade's shocking action. They also believed that this was probably the most classic dunk performance in the entire NBA All-Star history.
But what is regrettable is that in the end, among the five judges, four of them gave 10 points, and only one gave 9 points.
The dunk contest judge who gave Wade a 9-point score was none other than former dunk king "Dr. J" Julius Erving.
In response to this, Wade just puffed out his cheeks and smiled naively, without showing too much dissatisfaction.
But in Wade's own mind, his dunk definitely deserves a full 50 points.
As a veteran of the NBA, Julius Erving is definitely an epoch-making superstar. He has won regular season MVPs and championships in both the ABA and NBA.
At the same time, in the field of dunks, Dr. J was also the first person to complete a dunk from the free throw line. He can be said to be the first generation king of the dunk contest. Jordan and Carter are just juniors.
Wade still has a certain respect for Dr. J. Since the other party gave him a 9 points, there is nothing to say. In short, Wade is still very confident about the final championship.
But Charles Barkley, who was the on-site commentator, began to avenge Wade's outrageous dunk:
"If Dwayne's dunk just now with his legs raised over Shaquille was not enough to get full marks, then everyone's dunks tonight may not be worthy of full marks!"
"I hope Josh Smith, who will appear next, will not have too much pressure, because his dunk may not even score 9 points!"
"Dwayne's movements are too relaxed. I really don't understand what kind of personal grudge there is between Julius and this kid!"
Next, Josh Smith was indeed affected by Wade's shocking dunk, and his performance was only 45 points.
The second dunk, logically speaking, as long as Wade can dunk more than 46 points, he can lock the dunk contest championship in advance.
Lin Fei, a time traveler, designed the same move for Wade. Just now he dunked on Gordon, and now he dunked on LaVine.
Wade performed this action to the extreme by taking off half a step inside the free throw line and dunking with his hips. The whole action was completed in one go, which was full of explosiveness.
Compared with Raven's championship-winning dunk in later generations, Wade's starting position for this dunk is obviously closer to the basket.
Lin Fei also took into account Wade's excessive weight and the slight gap between his height and wingspan compared to LaVine.
But when the action was really shown, Lin Fei believed that Wade was no worse than LaVine in dunking.
LaVine is only 82 kilograms, and his take-off movement is more elegant, while Wade's is more aggressive, more powerful, and more shocking.
When Wade completed the second dunk, the judges' table exploded with five 10-point scores.
Wade finally used his wonderful dunk to conquer Dr. J, who gave him a 9-point score.
In the end, Wade also defeated Josh Smith's 92 points in the final with 99 points and successfully won the 2005 All-Star Slam Dunk Contest.
"OMG, one is the three-point contest champion, the other is the dunk contest champion, and they were both won in an overwhelming way. Plus, there is also the league's number one center. The Miami Heat are really too strong!"
"Dwayne Wade's dunk was so explosive, I feel his dunk talent is as good as Vince Carter's!"
"You have to know that Dwayne is a guy who gave the league a meniscus, otherwise his talent will only be more terrifying!"
"Lin and Wade are a perfect pairing with one outside three-pointer and the other driving to the basket. In addition, there is a big shark guarding the penalty area and a white chocolate who passes the ball exquisitely. As long as he stays healthy, he should win the championship this season. Only the Spurs can compete with the Heat!"
Lin Fei and Wade won the three-point contest and dunk contest respectively, which also fully warmed up the All-Star Game tomorrow.
In the entire history of the All-Star Game, this is the first time that two players from the same team have won both the Three-Point Contest and the Slam Dunk Contest.
That night, "Melo" Anthony, who was the host of Denver, also brought many All-Star teammates to the local entertainment club in Denver and had a lot of fun.
Anthony is quite a generous person and has a social background, so Lin Fei also gives Anthony a lot of face. There is no harm in having more friends like this.
What's more, if things don't change, there might be a possibility for Lin Fei and "Melon" to join forces one day.
Speaking of Anthony's entire career, it is true that he lacked a little luck, and he was worse than James Wade.
You must know that if the Detroit Pistons selected Carmelo Anthony with the second overall pick, then Anthony would probably win the championship with the Pistons in his rookie season.
Next, under the guidance of Chauncey Billups, personal playing style may also be tilted towards the team.
Moreover, the Pistons have been a strong contender for the championship in recent seasons, and Anthony is a very precocious player after entering the league. He quickly reached his peak in the first few seasons of his career.
In this case, the Pistons are likely to win more than one championship. Coupled with Melo's scoring output of 25+ per game, it is very likely that the Pistons will win another regular season MVP or even a championship MVP.
The whole person's all-time low has improved significantly, and he may even be among the top 10 in history before the end of his career.
By then, there may not be anything going on with James and Wade.
It has to be said that fate has its way, and the careers of players are just like the lives of ordinary people, full of too many uncertainties.
Of course, what Lin Fei imagined was the plot of the original world, and now that he is in this parallel world, even if Anthony was selected by the Pistons, he would never have such a bright glory.
After returning to the luxury hotel where they stayed that night, Lin Fei, O'Neal and Wade got together and began to discuss who should win the All-Star MVP in tomorrow's All-Star Game.
You must know that the NBA All-Star Game is mainly about performance. The core stars of each team gather together to play. There is no conclusion on who has the most shots and who has the highest status.
This All-Star game is more like a human being.
Which player has high prestige, or is a good player, will often occupy a dominant position in their respective teams. Your teammates are willing to pass the ball to you, and the head coach is willing to let you play more time.
In the end, if you put up good statistics, you will have a greater chance of winning the All-Star MVP.
The Heat now have Lin Fei, Wade and O'Neal all selected as All-Stars, and they are all starters in the Eastern Conference. In addition, the head coach is also one of their own.
In this way, the three people join a team and take care of each other. Naturally, they will get more ball rights, and the statistics will be better.
You must know that except for Lin Fei, O'Neal and Wade, the other nine starters and substitutes in the Eastern Conference are all from different teams.
The only ones on the team who have the strength to compete for this MVP are Iverson and Carter, while James, Pierce and O'Neill are a little behind in popularity and status.
Although the All-Star MVP is not a major award, as a star, if you can get one, it is also a great bonus in high-end games.
As a big brother, O'Neal smiled and said: "I have won the All-Star MVP twice. I am not surprised. This time I will make it happen for you two. Whoever votes accurately will get the AMVP!"
"As for winning, there's no need to worry about that. Our lineup in the Eastern Conference will definitely not lose to that of the Western Conference!"
Wade smiled and said: "It's more appropriate to help Lin get it. He is the All-Star vote winner and the most popular. Naturally, he should get the All-Star MVP!"
Lin Fei also said in a low-key manner: "Dwayne, you better take it. If you get to the basket more often tomorrow, I will open up space for you on the outside!"
The three guys were humble and respectful to each other, as if this All-Star MVP was prepared for their Big Three of the Heat.
If the stars of other teams heard this conversation, their lungs would definitely explode...
