"He took the NBA's global influence to new heights."

The front-page headline of a newspaper called the Basketball Herald attracted the attention of a large number of fans in China.

"He did something that Michael Jordan never did, and the appearance of Sun Hao has raised people's expectations for basketball to a new height."

And fans who read the first issue of the newspaper quickly found that the style of this article is so simple and familiar.

When I saw the last writer, those who had read it suddenly realized.

Because what is written is: Su Qun.

In the summer of this year, Su Qun had already pulled a group of people out to work alone, and "Basketball Herald" also came out in October this year.

Although Su Qun's name is very big, because of the "Sports Weekly", the living space of "Basketball Pioneer" was very small when it first came out.

However, Su Qun was very smart, and labeled this newspaper as Sun Hao at the beginning, and a lot of space was devoted to reporting Sun Hao.

is not only Sun Hao's performance on the field, but also some locker room anecdotes, exclusive revelations or something.

And this time, a unique lottery code appeared at the end of the newspaper, and lucky fans could have a chance to get Sun Hao's signed jersey!

This part is the handwriting of Yang Yi, a disciple of Su Qun.

Compared with his teacher, Yang Yi is more like a businessman.

But it has to be said that this businessman played a great role in the promotion of this newspaper.

This time, Sun Hao was the unprecedented ticket king, Su Qun's unique literary style, coupled with Yang Yi's business experience, "Basketball Pioneer" exploded at once.

Fans who used to go to the newsstand and commissary every day after work or class now have an extra selection of newspapers to read.

……

After the All-Star starting list, the league's bench list and individual game list were also released.

Eastern subs: Arenas, Wade, Pierce, Anthony, Grant Hill, Milicic, Ben Wallace;

This year's bench list in the East can be described as a "big change".

Because of the Auburn Hills palace brawl, Artest and O'Neal Jr., the two All-Stars who officially entered the peak of their careers, missed the All-Star Game.

And Kidd, Billups, and Francis were all unexpectedly defeated.

Wade, Anthony, Milicic...... There are a lot of new faces on the bench list.

Anthony's stats for the Pistons this season have improved from last year, and of course what's more obvious than the stats is efficiency.

He averaged 22.6 points, 4.9 rebounds and 4.1 assists per game while shooting 46.7 percent from the field.

These figures are much better than the same period in history.

As it turned out, Anthony was drafted by the Pistons and was not scrapped like Milicic did in history, but played like a fish in water under Brown.

In fact, this is completely understandable, the talent of players is graded, although Anthony is not at the level of Jordan and James, but he is also historic.

This kind of player is not just a change of environment that will make him unable to play.

In stark contrast to Antony, Milicic is the player.

Historically, he was suppressed by Brown with the Pistons, but when he got more opportunities with the Cavaliers, his performance has also steadily improved.

This season, he is averaging 18.7 points and 11.2 rebounds per game while shooting 48% from the field.

Although it did not reach the level that experts said in the draft that they could catch up with Yao Ming, it was already excellent.

And his luck is good, O'Neal Jr. is suspended, and with the withering of the Eastern interior line, he just squeezed in.

As for Wade, O'Neal didn't go to the Heat, but the Heat seemed to hold the Nets to occupy fourth place in the East.

Wade is averaging 25.9 points, 6.2 rebounds and 6.5 assists per game!

He redeems his talents faster than Anthony.

He wasn't selected for the starting lineup in large part because he was only in his second year and he had two popular bug players in front of him, Iverson and Maddy.

Of course, the most unexpected ones were Arenas and Hill of the Magic team.

Arenas got more shots after changing teams, with 24+5+6 data, and now the Magic team is also ranked fifth in the East and is expected to enter the playoffs.

Of course, all this is inseparable from Hill.

The No. 1 Jordan successor who has been on the free card since Maddie joined, after Maddie left, suddenly got better.

He has only missed 5 games so far, averaging 19.7 points, 4.7 rebounds and 3.3 assists per game, and his shooting rate has reached 50.9%!

Arenas, Hill and Howard, who are doing well, have a resurgence of the Magic team hopefully.

At this stage, the Wizards-Magic summer trade was a win-win.

Western subs: Nash, Ray Allen, Ginobili, Marion, James, Stoudemire, Nowitzki.

Milicic is the lucky one in the east, but that is not the case in the west.

All of the people who have been selected this season have performed impeccably.

It is worth mentioning that the Suns' record so far ranks first in the West, and no one has been selected to start them, but three have been selected as a substitute.

This is the same as in the East, there are two popular bugs in the starter, Sun Hao and Kobe, and it is still difficult for Nash to turn over.

However, if he continues to play like this, Nash will have a good chance of winning the MVP.

The substitute list is attracting attention, and this year's individual competition is also eye-catching, because of Sun Hao.

Sun Hao will participate in two events this year: the Shooting Star and the Slam Dunk Contest!

This year, the Lakers sent a lineup that can be called luxurious, "Magic" Johnson, "Little Emperor" Sun Hao, and 4-time WNBA champion Tina Thompson.

It's a straight line for the title defense.

Of course, this is a team event, and it takes three people to win the final championship.

And this time there are a total of four teams registered, which is one more than last year.

In addition to the Lakers, there are the Nash-led Suns, the Arenas-led Magic, and the Maddy-led Wizards!

So this year's shooting star may have attracted more attention than the three-point competition.

And the other slam dunk contest is the same.

Although Richardson, the only three-time champion of the slam dunk contest, is no longer participating, Sun Hao and James both announced that they will fight again!

And then there's JR Smith of the Hornets and Stoudemire of the Suns!

This year's slam dunk contest is still exciting and exciting!

The main event is worth looking forward to, and the individual competition is also worth looking forward to, and this year's Denver All-Star Game has attracted a lot of attention.

Time flies, and it's mid-February in a blink of an eye.

The teams have ended their pre-All-Star breaks, and the first half of the season has come to an end.

The top eight rankings in the East and West are currently available.

West: Suns, Spurs, Sonics, Lakers, Mavericks, Kings, Nuggets, Timberwolves;

East: Pistons, Wizards, Celtics, Heat, Magic, Nets, 76ers, Pacers;

This is also the impact of the reform of the competition area.

More divisions make the playoffs look fairer, but it also means that if you can't finish at the top of the division, you're better off finishing fourth.

That's the case with the Lakers, who have a better record than the Spurs and the SuperSonics, but are only fourth because they are not as good as the Suns.

The same happened to the Mavericks, who were not as good as the Spurs and could only settle for fifth.

If the playoffs start now, the Lakers and Mavericks will meet in the first round.

It may not be what Stern wants to see, but it's quite exciting for the fans.

However, only half of the season has passed, and the real ranking in the end will only be known on the last day.

Along with the rankings is determined is the All-Star starting head coach of the East and West.

Larry Brown and Mike D'Antoni became All-Star coaches in the East and West.

After D'Antoni and Nash switched to Phoenix together, they finally made it to the top of their game.

On February 19, the All-Star Game officially kicked off.

The first day was a Masters and Rookie game.

Among them, the rookie race attracted attention.

Especially on the second-year team, the starters Wade, James, Anthony, Yi Jianlian and Milicic, and the bench also has Bosh, Korver, Haslem, Carman, Hinrich......

Four of the 03 generation were selected for the All-Star Game this year, and the stars completely overshadowed the first-year team.

The final result of the game was also expected.

The sophomores put on the first-graders in a slaughtering game, 133-106.

James, who played at home, performed exceptionally bravely, scoring 31 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists, and was elected MVP of the rookie game.

In addition, Anthony scored 26 points and 5 boards, Korver scored 21 points on 7-of-10 three-point shooting, and Yi Jianlian scored 20 points and 11 boards.

The talent of the 03 generation was vividly displayed in this game.

This performance is also a good start to this year's All-Star Game.

The next day, the individual tournament was played at the Pepsi Center, home of the Denver Nuggets.

The stadium, which can accommodate 20,000 people, was full, and there were many fans standing in the aisles.

This shows how popular this year's All-Star Game is.

The first to start shooting stars!

When the teams were introduced one after another, the atmosphere on the scene was already too high.

In addition to the Lakers, another team in focus is the Wizards.

In addition to the active player is Maddie, the legendary star of their lineup is Jordan!

This is very exciting.

Everyone knows Jordan's lowest record of 6 points in the three-point contest, and he actually came to participate in the shooting star!

Fans really can't think of a second reason other than playing.

However, the All-Star Contest was originally played, and in terms of effect, the appearance of Jordan and the appearance of Sun Hao brought attention at the same level.

Before the game began, Jordan walked up to Sun Hao to say hello.

"Do you remember what you said to me when you won the three-point contest that year?"

Sun Hao was stunned for a moment when he heard this.

He won the three-point contest in the first year he entered the league, which was four years of shooting.

Of course, he must have remembered what he had said.

"Michael, you can only sit quietly and watch me pretend now."

That sentence was said when he finished throwing the last flower ball with his eyes closed and won the three-point contest.

The purpose of saying that sentence at that time was to provoke Jordan and make the latter choose to make a comeback.

As it turned out, Jordan's heart was a little too small.

"I spent a little bit of time after I retired, maybe a month or two to practice three-point shooting, and I'm pretty good at that now."

Of course, Jordan is still the same Jordan, and he will never miss any opportunity to pretend.

Sun Hao nodded seriously.

When it was time to cooperate with Jordan to pretend to be forced, Sun Hao was still in place.

After all, the god of basketball has the best face.

Jordan nodded in satisfaction and went back.

Looking at his back, Sun Hao really wanted to see what Jordan's three-point practice for a month or two was like.

The game started quickly.

First out of the game were the Wizards of Maddie and Jordan.

The rules of the game of Shooting Star set up 6 shooting points on the court, which are 45 ° three meters on the right side, 45 ° three meters on the left side, 3 points at the top of the circle, 3 points at the bottom corner of the right side, 3 points at the left 45° angle, and the super distance of the midfield.

And the three people have to be in order, only after the point of the previous person is shot, the person of the next point can continue to shoot.

In addition to Maddy and Jordan, the Wizards also have a new star Alanna Bilder, who led the team to an unprecedented good record when the star "Female Jordan" Chamick Hodsklaw missed the game due to depression, and is expected to enter the playoffs historically.

With the fans looking forward to it, the game started quickly.

The first point is 3 meters to the right, and the person who shot it is Beard.

This point is actually a bit like the starting point of basketball lovers' usual "climbing stairs and shooting" game.

Bilder uses a paddle-style shot, and the ball grabs the board and goes straight into the basket.

The Wizards started off well.

Then there is Jordan on the left, Jordan also plays the board, and the ball is also very stable into the frame.

Then there was Maddy's three-pointer at the top of the circle.

Maddie's three-point dry pull, the action is very elegant.

"Huh!"

And, the first time you entered!

Then there was Bilder's corner three-pointer.

She tried to smash the frame the first time, but the second shot went in!

It is not without reason that she was able to lead the team to a historic result!

The scene erupted in cheers.

The Wizards' state tonight can be described as hot!

Well, of course, Jordan's three-pointer at a 45° angle on the left side is crucial.

Everyone knows that Jordan and the word three-point shot have never been associated.

Jordan, habitually stuck out his tongue and shot three-pointers.

The ball's trajectory looks straight.

"Huh!"

Then, in everyone's stunned eyes, Jordan's first three-point attempt, it went in!

After the goal, Jordan raised his right hand high and made a three-point gesture.

At this scene, the aura exploded.

When he won six consecutive championships before retiring in 1998, Jordan made a "SIX" celebration with both hands, which was regarded as a classic by fans.

No one expected that after retiring, Jordan would prove himself on the three-point line!

Sun Hao was also a little confused.

Although a three-point shot is not a small element of luck, it is by no means something that can be practiced in a month or two.

Jordan must have put in a lot of sweat behind his back in order to pretend to be forced.

This is probably "Jordan Pretending to Learn".

He's not going to let everyone know how hard he's training like Kobe Bryant, and he's not going to say anything about Chicago at 4 a.m.

He will only tell you the result: I am strong.
