"The China Storm."

In ESPN's latest report, they used such a headline.

Sun Hao, Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian set off a Chinese storm in the NBA.

"This is a great positive boost for the NBA to expand the Chinese market, and it also helps China to enhance its basketball influence and discover more young players, which is a win-win situation."

ESPN's analysis and evaluation are on point.

Sun Hao's intervention has made history develop rapidly in another direction.

Fast forward to January, the Mavericks have had some injuries, and Finley needs to rest for about a month due to the injury.

With Bodiloga's departure, his playing time skyrocketed from 28 minutes last season to 38 minutes, which caused him to react a bit.

Johnson had no choice but to put Josh Howard in the starting lineup.

But that's what makes Josh Howard shine.

More often, Howard showed not only the defense he's shown, but also the offensive end.

In addition to the low-post back-to-back play that he has already shown in preseason, his ability to switch between offense and defense is also a perfect fit for the team.

Domestic fans even nicknamed Howard, "ugly and hard".

He looks ugly, but his playing style is tough.

Sun Hao couldn't help but laugh when he saw this.

Domestic fans are really talented, and he also thought of another word, ugly and handsome.

The representative of that player, well, Durant.

When Sun Hao thought of this, he wrote a letter to Durant to ask about his current situation, and sent him a pair of Adidas SH95 by the way to encourage him to continue to play hard.

Soon Sun Hao also received a reply from Durant, in addition to thanks, Durant also mentioned that he was going to transfer to National Christian College to play.

It's the same as it was in history.

Durant went to Oak Hill High School, but his real rise to fame came when he was at National Christian College.

Before you know it, it's late January.

Taking advantage of the ups and downs of the Mavericks' record due to injuries, the Timberwolves have quietly climbed to the first place in the West.

It was at this time that voting for the 2004 NBA All-Star Game was about to begin.

But just a year later, the league has changed a lot.

The two forward guards who exploded last year, Kobe Bryant and Maddy.

Kobe Bryant's overall performance declined significantly because of internal and external troubles.

Maddie was even worse, suffering a wave of 19 consecutive defeats with the team at the beginning of the game.

After that, the Magic team saw the situation and went straight to the slump, and Maddie became disheartened and began to fight alone.

Although his points per game average is still the highest in the league, his efficiency value has also dropped significantly.

Even his excessive solo play has led some Orlando fans to suggest that the team send him away and start rebuilding early.

Obviously, stopping in the first round for many years has made fans tired of this former "white horse spear".

Maddie is also extremely disgusted by this sound.

His understanding is that it was Hill's contract that dragged the team and could not be strengthened, but in the end the responsibility fell on him, which made him also have the idea of leaving the team.

Next summer, there is bound to be a wave of turmoil.

Of course, the back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and the front waves die on the beach.

In addition to the 03 generation of topicality, there are also people in the east and west who shine this year.

The biggest delight for fans in the East is Michael Reed of the Bucks.

This second-round pick who participated in the Bulls tryout with Sun Hao has grown into the core of the Bucks this season.

In addition to his breakthrough skills, he also developed a low-post single, and even practiced three-point shooting to the top level.

This kind of improvement is something that no other team could have imagined at the time of the draft.

But regardless, he is averaging 21.7 points per game this season, which has amazed everyone.

The most amazing thing in the west is naturally Sun Hao.

Up to now, Sun Hao's average points per game have broken the 25-point mark, with an average of 25.1 points per game, which is higher than Kobe, second only to Maddie and Iverson, ranking third in the league!

And he shot 45.5 percent from three-point range.

Many people have no idea about the three-point shot of this era, and in the non-small-ball era, the top three-point shooters can't shoot this kind of shooting percentage, except for Nash's.

Take Ray Allen as an example, he only had a three-point shooting rate of more than 45% in his career, and it was already 11~12 seasons.

Not to mention that Sun Hao has cast so much, this kind of hit rate is completely enough to be in the category of "perverted quasi".

It was in this situation that the league once again sent an invitation to Sun Hao, hoping that he could re-participate in the three-point shooting contest.

Sun Hao politely refused again.

Now he's waiting for his eldest nephew, Curry, to join the league, and then there's an uncle-nephew showdown.

The league was unwilling and once again invited Sun Hao, but this time it changed from a three-point contest to a dunk contest.

And this time, in order to increase the success rate, they also told Sun Hao such a thing.

They have already made contact with James, who will be in the dunk contest.

This made Sun Hao a little moved.

Originally, as the bounce continued to increase, his dunk ability continued to improve.

Now in the system, his dunk attribute has broken through 80 to 84.

Otherwise, how do you think he completed a 360° dunk in a shameful trip to China last year, and also staged an actual dunk in the game?

He's no longer the boy he used to be when he slipped and slipped and was exposed to the basket!

Although it is a little reluctant to participate in the slam dunk contest to win the championship, the level of the dunk contest during this period of history is not particularly high.

And the slam dunk contest is turning to creativity as king, and he has a great advantage as a traverser.

And most importantly, James will be there too!

The fact that James has never participated in the slam dunk contest in history is a big regret for many fans.

Sun Hao is also one of them.

He actually wants to see how James will perform in the slam dunk contest.

If you want to talk about actual dunks, James can also be ranked in the top ten or even the top five in history.

It's a pity that such a player hasn't participated in the slam dunk contest.

As for why he agreed, it is estimated that he is also a fledgling.

Like Kobe Bryant and Carter, when they participated in the slam dunk contest, they were still rookies.

Sun Hao finally agreed.

But what he didn't know was that not long after he agreed, the league approached James, hoping that James would participate in the slam dunk contest.

"Sun has decided to participate, and this is your best chance to challenge him."

This sentence finally succeeded in persuading James.

So, I don't know which guy came up with the idea, and it just worked.

All in all, in the end, Sun Hao and James both agreed to participate in the slam dunk contest!

And, don't forget the two-time slam dunk king Jason Richardson!

This time, the appetite of the fans has been completely suspended.

You must know that compared with last season's collective outbreak of Comai and Jordan's entry into the Finals, although there are Lakers F4 and the rise of the Pistons and Pacers this season, the overall focus is not as good as last season.

But this is definitely a big surprise!

On this off-season, Sun Hao pulled Nash to train with him.

Although All-Star Weekend is entertainment, since you are participating in it, and you have to compete with James and Richardson, you naturally have to prepare well.

And he specially called Nash from Auckland, and he was also ready to surprise the fans.

Time came to the end of January in a blink of an eye, and the results of the all-star vote, as well as the list of substitutes and individual competitions were released one after another.

In the East, starters: Iverson, Carter, Maddy, O'Neal Jr., Yao Ming;

Subs: Kidd, Francis, Byron Davis, Michael Reed, Pierce, Artest, Big Ben.

Arenas and Anthony were unfortunately not selected.

On the west side, starters: Sun Hao, Kobe, Garnett, Nowitzki, O'Neal;

Subs: Nash, Sam Cassel, Ray Allen, Peja, Kirilenko, Brad Miller, Duncan.

After Nowitzki was picked up by the Chinese fans, Garnett and Duncan took turns in and out of the starting lineup.

James also regretted not being selected.

However, Kirilenko's selection was a bit of a surprise.

However, his style is very similar to that of Artest in the East, and even more versatile.

The accident is just that the Jazz team has just experienced a double bad departure, and the record is not not outstanding.

In terms of individual competitions, this year the league has set up a new "Shooting Star" program.

This was originally Sun Hao's intention to participate again, but according to the rules, the team composition of this project must be an active player, a WNBA player and a retired NBA player.

Sun Hao didn't find a suitable teammate in the end, so he had to give up in the first year.

This year's All-Star Game was held in Los Angeles, and the Lakers also sent a "luxury lineup", Fisher, the first MVP of the WNBA to complete a dunk, Lisa Leslie, and "Magic" Johnson.

In addition, the remaining three teams are the Pistons, Spurs and Clippers.

Skills Challenge: Byron Davis, Fisher, Marbury, Nash;

Nash, who lost to Kidd last year, made a comeback this year, but unfortunately defending champion Kidd didn't compete.

Three-Point Shootout: Billups, Korver, Walsh Leonard, Rashad Lewis, Mobley, Peja;

If Peja can continue to win the title, he will complete a third consecutive title in this event.

The Slam Dunk Contest is also the event that fans pay the most attention to in this year's All-Star Game.

In addition to Sun Hao, James and Richardson, the fourth person is James' teammate, Chris Anderson, who has played in the CBA before.

In anticipation of the fans, the time will soon come to mid-February, and the 2004 All-Star Weekend will kick off in Los Angeles.

As in previous years, Adidas made another big move before this year's All-Star break.

The success of AdidasSH95 made Adidas determined to launch the "sun" series.

Launched before this year's All-Star Game is also the first generation of this series, 1.

This sneaker is full of anticipation, and it is also the first time that the ultra-low top has been designed, and the color is also designed in the color of volcanic rock, which complements the monkey in the logo.

This is a sneaker that combines extreme technology and beauty, and it has already made fans full of expectations before it is officially released.

In order to promote the sneakers, Adidas also let Sun Hao wear these shoes in advance.

On the first day of the rookie game, Sun Hao's feet became a place for reporters to take pictures.

Because the appearance of this new shoe is really a little too high.

Even based on this appearance alone, it can be predicted that he is another hit that surpasses AdidasSH95.

Of course, Sun's sneakers weren't all the focus of the first day of All-Star Weekend.

Because of the 03 golden generation, this year's rookie game has also attracted much attention.

On the first-year team, James, Anthony, Milicic, Yi Jianlian, Wade, Bosh, T.J. Ford, Hinrich, Carman, Josh Howard, ...... These rookies who shine in their rookie season are all selected.

On the sophomore side, Bodiloga of the Year Rookie has returned to Europe, relying on Stoudemire and Caron Butler to support the scene, which is a little bleak in comparison.

However, after the start of the game, the two teams were still evenly matched.

Although the first-year team has outstanding talent, after all, he has only been in the league for most of the season, and his experience is a little worse than that of the second-year team.

But that's it, they still play back and forth with the sophomore team.

Playing until the final moments, Stoudemire's violent dunk helped the sophomore team take a crucial two-point advantage.

In the last attack, James forced the basket and then distributed the ball to Anthony on the outside.

Jamgua connected, and Anthony received the ball and almost shot at the whistle.

"Huh!"

Unlike the previous game against the Mavericks, Anthony showed his big heart ability this time, hitting a three-point buzzer to help the first-year team win a thrilling 126-125 victory.

At the end of the game, the scene was in a carnival.

It's rare for a rookie game to be so exciting.

But that also seems to set the tone for this year's All-Star Game.

Unlike last year's exhibition game, this year's All-Star Game is back for real people.

The final MVP went to James, who had 27 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists in the game.

This is also the second trophy he has won in his career in addition to Rookie of the Month.

In addition, Anthony scored 21 points, Wade 16 points, and Yi Jianlian 15 points and 10 rebounds.

After the first day of rookie games, fans can't wait to start the second day.

Because the slam dunk contest they've been looking forward to is on this day.

The next day's Staples Center was packed, and the fans were as enthusiastic as the main game.

The first to start was the shooting star, and "The Magic" played a brave role to help the Los Angeles team successfully win the first tournament.

In the skills challenge that followed, Nash also had a feeling that he had no opponent without Kidd and easily won the championship.

With Arenas leaving the team this season, Nash's stats have grown dramatically.

However, judging from Sun Hao's chat with him on this day, the decline in the team's strength made him not as happy as last season.

Although his style of play looks elegant, he is also a competitive person like Kobe Bryant in his bones.

After the Skills Challenge, the day's main event is the Three-Point Shooting Contest and Slam Dunk Contest.

Peja was aiming for a three-game winning streak and scored a game-high 21 points in the preliminaries.

However, in the final, he played abnormally again as he did last year, scoring "only" 16 points.

This time, Lady Luck didn't favor him anymore, and in the end, Walsh Leonard of the Nuggets won the 2004 three-point contest with 18 points.

There was also a pity at the scene, Peja missed out on the triple crown.

However, this voice of regret did not last long, because the next thing to start was the long-awaited slam dunk contest! (Recommended reading: Reading Files 2013)
