【Chapter 1059】 All-Star Game (Subscription Requested!)

In this All-Star Game, Xiao Feng did not participate in other events, just an All-Star Game, so his itinerary seemed much easier.

Last year, because he entered the All-Star Game for the first time, Xiao Feng not only participated in the rookie game, skill competition, three-point contest and dunk contest, but also won the MVP of the main game.

Xiao Feng won multiple events at the All-Star Weekend and also made All-Star history, and he was the most popular superstar last year. This time, the theme of All-Star Weekend was nostalgia, and Xiao Feng was not good at stealing the limelight with Kobe, so he simply did not sign up for any projects.

For Xiao Feng now, he no longer needs to participate in these additional events to prove himself, and his performance in the NBA in the past two seasons and the magic of the Rio Olympics have laid the foundation for his international basketball event.

In the comments of many media, after Kobe Bryant's retirement, the title of the first person in the NBA will fall on Xiao Feng's head, even if James is in his prime, he is powerless to compete.

The only regret for fans and pundits is that Xiao Feng is now almost 31 and has not been playing in the league for a long time, otherwise he could surpass more Hall of Fame superstars.

Xiao Feng, who only has the task of the main game, is not idle, and together with other All-Star players, he has to go to orphanages, welfare homes and other places in Los Angeles in batches to carry out activities, which is also the practice of the NBA league.

Last year, Xiao Feng, Kobe, Wade's trio was the most eye-catching existence in the entire All-Star Weekend, and this year, another member of the group became the United Arab Emirates;

The UAE is no stranger to participating in various charity activities, after all, he has been selected for the All-Star Rookie Game and has related experience with the Lakers.

For the UAE, this season has been nothing short of fantastic. Because he won the All-Star bench by relying on his double-double performance per game, this is very different from the embarrassing situation of being voted in the top three by Chinese fans that year.

To this end, major American websites have also launched a series of surveys, and the results show that most American fans recognize the performance of the United Arab Emirates this season, believing that he is second only to Duncan, Aldridge and other stars in the West, and is worthy of the name of being selected as an All-Star.

When I first returned to the NBA. The UAE only thought that they could be qualified for the role of the main substitute, but the team sent the main power forward Aldridge away and let him play as the starting power forward. At the beginning, the UAE was still a little nervous and nervous, but fortunately he was getting better and better, contributing enough strength on both offensive and defensive ends.

The Lakers have been invincible this season, and they have not suffered a loss in the link of power forward, and a neat lineup is one of the secrets of its victory!

This time, the UAE was rightly elected as an All-Star. Becoming a substitute power forward for the Western Star United, even in the face of media interviews and chases, can be faced calmly.

…………

All-Star Weekend is a basketball carnival, and because it's actually held in Los Angeles, the whole All-Star adds even more entertainment, with heavyweights in the North American pop and entertainment scene performing at Staples Arena.

At the Rookie All-Star Game, Britney Spears, Justin Bieber and other divas and superstars all appeared on the stage, feasting the audience's ears.

Ultimately. Downs' American United won the rookie game with a comfortable win over the World League. Towns also won the MVP with 32 points and 16 rebounds.

Now Downs has gradually grown up after last year's training, and has begun to share playing time with Mark, and the average data per game is also quite beautiful.

It is foreseeable that the talented Towns will gradually grow into a top center in the NBA under the deliberate cultivation of the Lakers. Perhaps it will lay the foundation for the Lakers' interior for the next 15 years.

When Downs lifted the MVP trophy, as a teammate and owner, Xiao Feng sat in the stands and smiled with satisfaction, after all, the growth of young players means that the future of the Lakers is still infinitely bright.

In the case of Kobe Bryant's imminent retirement. As the owner of the Lakers, Kobe Bryant naturally has to plan for the future of the team, and how to successfully defend the title next season has become the most important topic in front of Xiao Feng.

Compared with the top superstars with an annual salary of more than 10 million, Xiao Feng hopes to use a lower salary to cultivate the descendants of the Lakers, and a genius like Towns is undoubtedly the best choice. Now that Towns is playing out, maybe in another two years, when Mark's contract expires, the Lakers' luxury tax can be reduced a little bit.

Xiao Feng is not just a fan, after all, it is important for the team to win the championship, but if the cost can be further reduced, why not?

Zhou Qi has officially submitted an application to the NBA to participate in the 2017 draft, and the Lakers traded Aldridge back for a first-round pick, and it is a lottery pick. Xiao Feng hopes to be able to pick Zhou Qi back in the summer, and maybe he will leave the NBA in a few years, and the lineup composed of UAE, Zhou Qi, Towns, Jeremy Lin and others can still dominate the NBA.

Towns' success means that the 'Five Bird Play' and 'Space Spiritual Spring' have played an accelerated role in the growth of players, which is also an important foundation for Xiao Feng's confidence in the future of the Lakers.

"Thank you to my family, thank you to my teammates for their support!" Holding the MVP trophy, Downs was interviewed by reporters in the center of the court, saying: "Special thanks to the boss, it is because of the advanced training methods and world-class hardware and software facilities he provides that I have been able to make great progress!"

When Downs thanked Xiao Feng, the on-site lighting engineer shifted the spotlight to Xiao Feng in a timely manner, and he had no choice but to stand up and wave to the audience.

In addition to fans from all over the world, most of the spectators who came to watch the All-Star Weekend were local fans in Los Angeles.

Towns winning the MVP of the Rookie Game is a happy result for both the NBA League and the Lakers, which means that this All-Star Weekend is off to a good start!

…………

The next day, the Shooting Star Competition, the Skills Competition, the Three-Point Shooting Competition, and the Slam Dunk Contest were released one after another, and the NBA stars showed their best basketball skills to fans around the world. Impressive.

The three-point contest without Xiao Feng's participation turned into an exhibition game for the Splash Brothers, and both of them threw more than 25 points in the first and second rounds, and finally Curry won the championship with 28 points. At the same time, this score also broke Curry's own record of 27 points set in the 2015 All-Star Game, although it is not comparable to Xiao Feng's shocking 32 points, but it is enough.

Last season. Curry threw in 400 three-pointers and set a new three-point record, but it still couldn't be compared with Xiao Feng's record of 460, which made Curry a little depressed.

This season, Curry is on fire, and Xiao Feng is not to be outdone, and the two have launched an all-round competition in terms of three-point shooting, shooting percentage, etc., and it has also become an important matchup for the NBA to attract fans and media.

Curry, who is at an all-round disadvantage in various statistics, naturally hopes to compete with Xiao Feng in the three-point contest on All-Star Weekend, but unfortunately Xiao Feng can't avoid the battle. It was also unwilling to let Curry win the championship.

It is worth mentioning that when the slam dunk contest began, the judges sitting on the sidelines made the audience at the scene and in front of the TV exclaim!

Slam dunk superstars such as Kobe, Jordan, ****** Drexler, and Vince Carter all sat on the judges' bench, perhaps the most luxurious lineup of judges in the NBA All-Star Slam Dunk Contest.

20 years ago, the fledgling No. 8 Kobe Bryant with explosive curly hair won the championship in the slam dunk contest, and at the age of 18, he was the youngest 'dunk king' in NBA history. This is also the first time that Peter Pan has made a stunning appearance in front of fans around the world. Since then, everyone knows that the Lakers have a talented young man.

However, no one expected that this slightly young man would become the first person in the league in the next 20 years. became the existence of the demigod and half-demon closest to Jordan.

Kobe Bryant's appearance on the judges' bench of the slam dunk contest is not only a respect for Kobe, but also an encouragement to young people, and I have to say that the NBA league still does a good job in various gimmicks.

In the end, Griffin defeated the other opponents with explosive dunks and won the championship of this year's slam dunk contest. It can also be regarded as a successful end to various warm-up events!

Next, fans around the world will be focused on the All-Star Game starting tomorrow at 8 p.m. Los Angeles time, which will be the final appearance of Kobe Bryant and Duncan in the All-Star Game.

…………

On February 19, 2017, at 7 p.m. local time in Los Angeles, the highlight of the NBA All-Star Weekend was grandly staged. The Staples Arena was packed.

More than 600 reporters from 500 media outlets from 60 countries around the world participated in the All-Star Game, setting a new record in All-Star history.

Before the official start of the game, the NBA held a grand ceremony to pay tribute to Duncan and Kobe, paying tribute to the two veterans of 20 years.

The fans at the scene were quite face-saving, not only Kobe Bryant enjoyed thunderous applause, but the popularity of the other protagonist Duncan was no weaker than Kobe Bryant playing at home.

After the game started, the superstars, who are usually accustomed to fierce scrambles, also put down the victory and defeat of the game and began to show their basketball skills on the court.

Whether it is James's Crab Overlord step layup or Kobe Bryant's elegant step-back jumper, Yang or Xiao Feng's unreasonable ultra-long-range three-point shot or Wade's lightning-fast breakthrough, all the audience are fascinated.

Without high-intensity defense, the players' performance on the field was like a hanging, and all kinds of difficult actions emerged one after another, making the audience on the sidelines exclaim.

In addition to ordinary fans, the most eye-catching spectators are NBA celebrities including Jordan, Zen Master, and O'Neal, as well as Hollywood superstars and kings and queens in the European and American pop music scene.

The NBA All-Star Game is a basketball carnival and a big gathering of European and American entertainment circles, with dozens of superstars sitting on the sidelines every year, not to mention that this year's All-Star Game is held in Los Angeles.

It is also these superstars who have attracted more attention to this year's All-Star, and the TV broadcast signal has reached a new high in ratings in various countries, and these Hollywood superstars have contributed a lot.

If the first half is a basketball skills display of the stars of the East and West, the two sides will gradually become serious in the second half, after all, it is related to the victory or defeat of the game and the ownership of the MVP, and these arrogant stars are naturally not far behind.

Therefore, although the second half of the game has decreased in spectacle, it has become more intense, and the scene has a feeling of sparks, which makes fans very enjoyable.

Xiao Feng also knew that the goal today was not only to win, but also to make Kobe Bryant and Duncan have more and better performances, so he could reduce the number of shots and create opportunities for the two old guys.

Under Xiao Feng's deliberate transfer, the Western Stars team is not at all like the team that has just been formed, they have a tacit understanding with each other, and they cooperate like mercury.

Gradually, the Western Stars pulled away from the score, and by the time the game entered the second half of the fourth quarter, the margin of more than 20 points had already made the game out of suspense.

Xiao Feng made only six shots, hitting five shots, including three three-pointers, and scored 13 points, but he did hand out 26 assists, breaking the record set by Magic Johnson with 22 assists in 1984.

The Western Stars eventually defeated the Eastern Stars 138-126, and Xiao Feng had a direct relationship with nearly half of the points, and in a sense, he could win the MVP.

Kobe Bryant scored 44 points on 18-of-30 shooting, including points and eight three-pointers, which also set a new All-Star record and became the best player.

In this way, Ko Ru willingly took the MVP trophy into his arms, which was also the fifth time he won the All-Star MVP, becoming the first person in history!

As for Duncan, the other protagonist of the All-Star Weekend, because his style of play is not suitable for this kind of showy game, he only scored 10 rebounds and 17 points, missing out on the MVP. However, for the veteran, being selected as an All-Star for the last time as a starter and receiving cheers and blessings from fans all over the world is already the happiest thing.

In the sky, Kobe Bryant held the MVP trophy in his hand, which became the final freeze frame of this All-Star Weekend, and perhaps this will be one of the deep memories of Kobe Bryant by many fans.

As the season continues to extend, Kobe Bryant's appearances on the court are getting less and less, and perhaps every appearance on every court will be his last.

Therefore, when the offseason of All-Star Weekend ended, the pursuit of Kobe's NBA career intensified, and the media around the world began to plan various reports and investigations related to Kobe, which also gave more and more fans a clearer understanding of Kobe's image.

Especially for those young fans who have only been exposed to the NBA in the past few years, they have only now discovered that this middle-aged uncle of No. 24 has a jaw-dropping brilliant career.

When Kobe Bryant retires, there may never be such a paranoid person in the NBA who appreciates the beauty of Los Angeles at 4 a.m. (To be continued.) )

PS: PS: Kobe Bryant has retired, perhaps this is the last paranoid person in the NBA with a 'hero' temperament! In 20 years, the little man has also changed from a young boy to a middle-aged uncle, to our youth without regrets!
