In the 1996-1997 season, the All-Star Game in Cleveland officially kicked off on the last day of All-Star Weekend.

Twenty-four of the best players in the league and twenty-four of the best in the world have come together!

This is the prosperity of basketball in the United States and the basketball of the world.

When the Dream Team brought the American professional basketball team into the eyes of the world at the Olympic Games, the attention of the NBA in the world increased significantly.

Although there are not many changes in the four major leagues in the country, in the world, the NBA is recognized and chased by more and more fans.

At this year's Atlanta Olympics, although Jordan did not participate, the U.S. team still won the championship, swearing the dominance of American basketball over the world, and more and more basketball fans around the world have become avid fans of American professional basketball.

"Xiao Ming! Xiao Wei! Come here. ”

Far east, the Shanghai Sharks youth team, the coach gathered the players.

"Let you rise and see today! Don't think that playing wild balls and abusing vegetables makes you feel how great you are! This is the center of world basketball! This is what we want to transcend! ”

The coach sat a group of players on the floor with a television set in front of him, and a heavy TV set was showing CCTV5 live broadcast.

"Xiao Ming! Sit down! The coach shouted.

"Uh, Coach, I've sat down." 17-year-old Yao Ming smiled bitterly, he was already in his early two meters, and he sat down a lot taller than his teammates around him, looking as if he was standing.

"Okay." The coach is also a little confused, obedient, Xiao Ming grew up with what he ate.

"Xiao Ming, I really envy you. You've received an invitation to the national team. Liu Wei next to Yao Ming sighed with emotion, Yao Ming will go to the national team in April.

"It's just luck, Xiao Wei, you will definitely be selected for the national team in the future, and we will continue to fight side by side when the time comes!"

"Hmmm! That's it! The Chinese men's basketball team will be guarded by us in the future! ”

"Shut up! Stinky boys, watch the game quietly! The coach's roar interrupted the communication between Yao Ming and Liu Wei.

...

"It's Cleveland All-Star Weekend! The final race is about to begin! I'm Ervin Johnson, good evening sir and ma'am. ”

"Good evening, everybody, I'm Isaiah Thomas."

"Hi, Isaiah. How are you doing in Toronto? Is Canada still used to the climate? ”

Isaiah Thomas, on the court is an out-and-out bastard villain, but when he arrives off the court, he becomes a suave man with a gentle smile again.

Or maybe it's a knife in a smile.

LIVE ~ PLUG BAD BOY ARMY AND LAKERS SHOWTIME HAS A VERY DEEP GRUDGE, IN 88 THE LAKERS 4:3 LIVE ~ PLUG WON THE CHAMPIONSHIP.

In 8~9 years, the Lakers 4:0 were 4:0 and won the first championship.

In the two years between the Magician and the Smiling Assassin, the struggle on and off the court was also very fierce, and it was rumored that the Smiling Assassin was not selected for the Dream Team, in addition to Jordan, the Magician also contributed behind the scenes.

"Erwin, I'm doing well." Isaiah smiled.

"Indeed, you have done a great job in Toronto. The Raptors, who only joined the league in '95, and in those two years you drafted Damon Stoudemire and Marcus Camby, both players with bright futures. ”

"Haha, they're pretty good. But your Lakers are more powerful Kobe, why don't we change it? ”

"Then you'll have to talk to Jerry!"

"Okay, let's first introduce the audience to the all-star lineup that will appear this year."

"The starters on the Eastern team's side are Anfernee Hardaway, Michael Jordan, Grant Hill Edition, Scottie Pippen, Patrick Ewing. The substitutes were Dicambe Mutombo, Glenn Rice, Vin Baker, Tim Hardaway, Kristen Leitner, Joe Dumas, Chris Webber. ”

"Western starters: Gary Payton, Kobe Bryant, Karl Malone, Sean Kemp, Hakeem, Olajuwon. The subs are Mitch Richmond, Clyde Drexler, John Stockton, Eddie Jones, Kevin Garnett, Detreve Schramf, Tom Gugliotta. ”

"It's worth mentioning that Shaq O'Neal and Charles Barkley are both out with injuries, the West is missing two big men, and they have an 18-year-old rookie in their start, so I'm very unoptimistic that they can win."

"Oh? Isaiah looks down on our Kobe? ”

'It's hard to look down on, he's still a little bit away from the superstars on the pitch.'

"Hahaha, I'll bring your words to him, I'm looking forward to the next Lakers and Raptors game."

...

Harris, Kobe, Eddie, that's all the Lakers who went to the All-Star break, from coach to starter to bench.

"Kobe, I want you to play a little less later, save your energy, and the sprint in the second half of the regular season is very important." A group of three people went from the hotel to the Gunde Stadium.

"It's okay, coach. Anyway, there are still a few days of rest in the future, so I won't affect the state of the later games. ”

"Kobe Bryant I know you want to challenge Michael again, and I think it's better to save that momentum for the playoffs."

Kobe Bryant had no choice but to spread his hands.

"Coach, just give me 25 minutes of playing time, is that okay?"

"Deal." Harris smiled.

The trio arrived at the Gunde Coliseum, where most MLB games start after 6 p.m., and the All-Stars are no exception.

If it's a regular season, players mostly arrive at the arena at 2 or 3 p.m. for warm-ups, stretching, shooting drills, leggings.

Kobe Bryant had the foresight to bring Jeff with him. Let him give himself Eddie's leggings.

And several other players in the locker room who were participating in the All-Star for the first time came over enviously.

"Kobe, let him tie me a bandage too." Garnett brought his teammate Tom Gugliotta over.

"Okay." Bryant readily agreed.

This all-star, the western side is divided into several groups.

The first is the SuperSonics, whose Big Three, Payton, Kemp, and Detrev-Schramf, are All-Stars, and they are the team with the most All-Stars in the West.

The second is the Houston duo, Olajuwon and Drexler.

The third is the Utah Twins, Malone and Stockton.

The rest is a few rookies for the Lakers and the Timberwolves, all of whom are first-time All-Star players, and unlike these veteran superstars, everything feels new to watch.

"Ha, stinky boys, cherish the opportunity to be an All-Star. But you don't think there's much to show for it. Payton laughed wildly, he and Kemp were both starters, and Detreve Schramf was off the bench. Payton thinks the All-Star MVP is in his pocket!

"Little ones, don't be afraid when you get on the field, just pass me the ball! Uncle Carl protects you. Malone laughed obscenely.

The Houston duo, Olajuwon and Drexler smiled at the corners of their mouths, watching this scene thoughtfully.

After all, they are players who have won championships, and their style is still different.
