On February 19, the All-Star Weekend continues.
The first thing to do is the shooting star game.
The Los Angeles team, playing at home, did not win the final victory amidst the cheers of the fans.
By Al Horford, Kirk Miller
, Steve Smith's Atlanta team won the Shooting Star championship.
After the appetizer-like events, the high-profile eventing event kicked off.
The first thing to be held was the skills challenge, and the Warriors had Curry participating.
The other four contestants are: Russell Westbrook, Chris Paul, Derrick Rose, and John Wall.
Westbrook entered the finals with the first place in the preliminaries. Paul, Rose and Wall's results were not very satisfactory, and they were eliminated from the bottom of the rankings.
Curry took risks and successfully advanced to the finals.
In the finals, the primary school students seemed to have found the feeling and completed each event very smoothly. They beat Westbrook in 28.2 seconds and won the championship of this skills challenge.
What followed was the three-point contest, in which the Warriors also had players participate.
Curry participated in the skills challenge and did not have the energy to sign up for the three-point shooting contest again. He plans to participate next year.
Anthony Morrow represented the Warriors in the three-point contest.
Morrow's three-point shooting percentage this season is as high as 39%, second only to Curry and Sun Yi on the same team, ranking tenth in the league.
If he performs well in the game, he has a high chance of winning the championship.
The other five participating players are: Ray Allen, Pierce, James Jones, Daniel Gibson, and Durant.
In the preliminaries, Durant was the first to appear, and his shooting was substandard. He only scored 6 points, which was almost equal to the lowest score in the three-point shooting contest.
In the commentary box, Barkley jokingly said, "This is the closest Kevin has ever been to Michael in order to arouse the fans' emotions."
In the front row of the audience, Sun Yi, Curry and others who came to cheer for Morrow heard this and burst into laughter.
As the god of basketball, one of the few black spots of Mr. Joe is that he participated in the three-point shooting contest. He only scored 5 points in the game, creating the lowest score in the three-point shooting contest.
Not only did the Flying Pig Jazz, who did not take too much trouble to watch the excitement, teased Durant, he also whipped Jordan's corpse by the way.
The next player to play was James Jones, who scored 16 points.
The third player to play was Morrow, who performed normally and scored 18 points, temporarily ranking first.
The fourth player to play was Daniel Gibson. He performed abnormally and scored 7 points. He will definitely be eliminated.
The fifth player to play was Ray Allen, who performed well and scored 20 points.
Pierce, the last defending champion to appear, performed mediocrely and only scored 12 points. It was a pity that he missed the opportunity to defend the three-point contest championship.
At this point, the preliminaries are all over, and James Jones, Moreau and Ray Allen have advanced to the finals.
In the finals, Ray Allen was the first to appear and performed abnormally, scoring only 15 points.
James Jones, who played the second time, recovered a little bit and scored 18 points.
Morrow, who played last, was greatly confident and performed beyond his level, scoring 22 points.
In the end, Morrow defeated Ray Allen and James Jones and won the three-point shooting contest.
The last one was undoubtedly the much-anticipated slam dunk contest.
Since Sun Yi completed several incredible dunks in the rookie game last night, fans are looking forward to this dunk contest, hoping to make a breakthrough.
But after the game started, neither creativity nor tricks could meet the fans' expectations, which made them feel very disappointed. They felt that this year's slam dunk contest was still as boring as ever.
The players who signed up for this dunk contest are: Yin Baka, McGee, Griffin and DeRozan.
In the preliminaries, McGee completed two creative dunks, scored 99 points, and advanced to the finals with the first place in the preliminaries.
Griffin overcame the danger and beat Yin Baka and DeRozan to get the last spot in the finals.
In the finals, Griffin used his most powerful move, gliding over the hood of a car and dunking. He won 68% of the fan votes and beat McGee to win the slam dunk contest.
In the audience, Sun Yi was watching with little interest and couldn't cheer up.
If Griffin could leap over the top of a car, that would be impressive, but there are a lot of people in the NBA who can do that leaping over the front of a car.
"That's it?! The level is too low."
Curry made a comment and then turned to Sun Yi and said: "Sun, if you participate, you will definitely win the championship."
"Stephen, although I have a high chance of winning the championship, don't be blindly arrogant!" Sun Yi said modestly.
"Sun, I believe you can do it. By the way, will you participate in the dunk contest next year?" Curry asked curiously.
"Man, I'll think about it again." Sun Yi replied, then stood up and left the arena with Curry and others.
At the same time, in the NBA president's office, David Stern frowned after hearing the assistant's report.
This year's Rookie Game, Skills Challenge and Three-Point Shootout Contest all satisfied fans, but the much-anticipated Dunk Contest left fans extremely disappointed.
"If we want to restore the reputation of the dunk contest, we have to do everything possible to get Sun Yi to sign up for it next year."
Stern is a little tired, he is about to retire, and he has to trouble him to make suggestions for such a trivial matter. Adam Silver is really useless!
…
…
On February 20, the All-Star Game officially started.
Dayao and Dirk Nowitzki, who were originally selected for the All-Star Game, were absent "due to injury."
Their places are replaced by Kevin Love and Blake Griffin.
Sun Yi knows that the Mavericks are aiming to win the championship this season, and it is understandable for the players to recharge their batteries and prepare for the playoffs.
The starting lineup of the Western Conference All-Star Team is: Paul, Kobe, Sun Yi, Durant, and Duncan.
The starting lineup of the Eastern All-Star team is: Rose, Wade, James, Stoudemire, Howard.
After the game started, Sun Yi's desire to attack was not high. After two or three explosive dunks, he began to paddle throughout the game and occasionally provided exquisite assists to Nao Chi to increase his sense of presence.
On the other hand, Kobe is the most serious player.
This is the place where chatter takes place, and he must be the one to take charge.
Under Sun Yi's wonderful pass, Naochi turned into a ruthless scoring machine and quickly widened the point difference.
Seeing this situation, the Eastern All-Stars didn't want to just take it easy.
Under the leadership of James, the Eastern All-Star team made a crazy counterattack and quickly narrowed the point difference.
When the game reached the last 3 minutes or so of the fourth quarter, Kobe stepped up to close the game and hit consecutive fadeaway jumpers, opening the point difference to double digits again.
The Eastern Conference All-Stars tried to give it a try and gambled on touch on the outside, but fell short and failed to achieve a go-ahead lead.
In the end, the Western All-Stars defeated the Eastern All-Stars 148-140.
In terms of statistics, the best player on the Western Conference All-Star Team is undoubtedly Kobe Bryant.
In the 35 minutes he played, he scored 37 points, 14 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 steals.
The best player on the Eastern Conference All-Star Team is James.
In 36 minutes on the court, he scored a triple-double of 29 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists.
At the post-game awards ceremony, Kobe received the All-Star MVP trophy from NBA Commissioner David Stern.
At this point, the All-Star Weekend is over, and each team will go all out to compete for a playoff spot.
The regular season war is about to break out again!
