Scott Pippen is the NBA's prince, and the kind of prince whose time to ascend the throne has long been determined.

However, with Scott Pippen officially taking office, the NBA has moved from the David Stern era to the Pippen era, which still caused a lot of repercussions.

Not to mention the outside world, even within the league, even within the two All-Star teams, most of the All-Star players are no longer satisfied with the commercial interests of the NBA that David Stern said when he finally left, but have begun to pursue the meaning and value of basketball itself.

Similarly, for David Stern, the future of the league is no longer based on the commercial interests of team owners, but on the people's consideration of the needs of fans and players and the NBA.

"Yes, do you think this All-Star Game, will the league start to encourage more normal physical confrontation between players and players?"

After Pippen's inauguration, Bryant's eyes lit up.

Ye Si nodded noncommittally after thinking for a moment.

As players of his and Kobe Bryant's level, they certainly know that there have always been two voices within the NBA.

One is the previous NBA prince joke, hoping to increase the commercial appreciation of the NBA, for the sake of commercial interests and enjoyment and even the maximization of the story, you can even sacrifice something, making money is the most important thing, but the bottom line of basketball and competition can not be too concerned,

This is the most mainstream voice at the top of the NBA, even if the joke has left, this voice is still the loudest.

After all, the boss doesn't care if such an extreme pursuit of short-term profit maximization will hurt basketball, most of them are not players, nor head coaches, let alone fans, they want financial reports, rising broadcast fees, constantly noisy topics and traffic, and everything else doesn't matter.

And the other voice, is to Pippen and other more professional basketball practitioners want to see, that is, the basketball game is not single, nor should it be single, the basketball game is a game of winning and losing, yes, but you can also score more than others to win, you can also let the opponent score less to win, these two statements seem to be a bit awkward, but the fact is this fact.

Many of the necessary elements of basketball must not be sacrificed for the sake of so-called commercial interests.

When the time comes, the artificially created prosperity may make the fans tired of one or two seasons, and the players will complain.

In fact, this kind of voice only appeared later in David Stern.

It only came after David Stern supported Pippen.

In fact, even David Stern was a supporter of the first voice before.

In addition to Yes's lack of appearance, David Stern was already on the verge of collapse by the Pistons and Spurs.

The NBA really didn't even have to eat at that time, who still talked to you about ideals?

Who told you the long term?

Even if it's poison, let's do it first.

It's just that later, people are not as good as heaven, and the NBA came out with a Yes.

Let the whole NBA be fed.

That is to say, only when you have eaten and drunk enough can you be qualified to talk about the long-term development of NBA and basketball, and only then can you carry out the construction of concepts and spiritual civilization.

If it weren't for really feeding the NBA bosses so that they didn't support or oppose it, David Stern wouldn't have been able to subdue all the first voices and get Pippen on stage.

Of course, Ye Si knew these things, but he only knew that he had never been involved in such a thing.

But he knows that David Stern's arrival means that the NBA is indeed likely to turn around.

At the very least, the NBA won't have that endless offense-friendly change in the future.

Even in the future, in order to balance, the NBA may even retroactively implement some of the old rules in the NBA, and even introduce some rules of the FIBA or the NCAA, so that not only will not continue to press the offense, but may even increase the defense.

Ye Si doesn't think that he is an extremely intelligent person, and what he can see clearly, others can naturally see clearly.

After all, this is the cry of the players and fans.

Now, more and more fans and players are tired of the endless whistle of the referee on the pitch, and the endless controversy caused by the whistle.

Now that David Stern has said that they have heard the voices of the players and fans, it is natural that they will make changes.

"Yes, if this year's All-Star Game encourages stronger confrontation, you won't have any chance of winning this game!"

The look on Bryant's face was confident.

Yes, of course, also understands Kobe's self-confidence.

After all, according to outside experts, how can the quality of fifteen people of the supersonic team be compared with the quality of fifteen people of the Union team?

The intensity of the game has increased, just because the consumption of the game has increased, and it is difficult for the supersonic speed to maintain its combat power for 48 minutes, but the league team can, and the fifteen of them can be divided into three groups of players with five up and five down, and they will not lose their strength.

But hypersound doesn't.

So, after Scott Pippen's inauguration, the All-Stars of the league team had a look of anticipation on their faces.

On the supersonic side, the faces of the players are as dignified as Jordan on the side.

After Pippen's inauguration, at 9 p.m., the second day of the NBA All-Star Weekend kicked off with the skills game.

Because of the addition of a heads-up contest to this year's All-Star Skills Event, the previous tournament Shooting Star was canceled.

At the same time, the second day of the skills competition was also half an hour earlier.

After all, tonight's heads-up tournament is a five-on-five finale, which is quite time-consuming.

Compared to yesterday's Rookie Challenge, today's All-Star Weekend skills match is undoubtedly more interesting.

The All-Stars of both teams are arguably going to be in the game tonight.

What's more, the NBA finally has heads-up games!

Single-handedly in this game, it can be said that the fans and even some players have been shouting for an unknown amount of time.

However, because some of the top stars were not too afraid to participate, this competition has never been able to happen.

After all, if there is no participation in those top singles, there is no point in holding this competition, even if a group of rookies fight to finally decide the heads-up king, and finally this NBA heads-up king is a role player in the regular season, then wouldn't the league be embarrassed?

The title of heads-up king, unlike the three-point king, dunk king, skill king, is not a title that can be taken away by role players.

To put it simply, to be taken away from this title by a role player is an insult to the title.

So, this competition is designed for the stars of the league.

If the participation of the stars is not high, even if the rest of the audience shouts again, the league will not be able to hold such a competition.

But this year is different, whether it is the superSonics or the league team, no one is afraid of fighting.

It can be said that this time the singles players of the whole league are very enthusiastic about this game.

In this case, of course, fans will be extremely excited about which NBA's singles king is.

Even if Yes's voice is the highest, it needs to be crowned.

Of course, tonight's All-Star Skills Match, the heads-up contest was the focus of attention, and most of the fans in the stadium and in front of the TV were here for this.

However, the heads-up tournament was the finale of the final game.

There's also tricks, three-pointers and dunks ahead.

The first competition to be played is the skills competition.

Rondo, James Harden and Reggie Jackson are represented in the SuperSonics in the skills game, and Rose, Irving and Wade are represented in the league.

In terms of the level of the players, both teams are not of the same level, and Rondo's historical status Rose + Irving + Wade is not comparable, of course, this is a joke.

The two teams are indeed not in the same class, and regarding the odds of Spinach in this game, the supersonics' three player title odds are all at the bottom.

Because the spinach company does not believe that the Yes team has any hope of winning this duel, if they can't win the duel, they won't be able to enter the finals, and naturally they won't be able to win the championship.

And why is supersonic so miserable, of course, because of the skill competition, Rondo's reputation is too big!

As it turns out, the predictions of these experts are accurate at times.

It was Rondo who led the way for the SuperSonics, while Rose led the way for the League team.

With a historic pass, a historic ball possession, and a historic shooting percentage, Rondo doesn't have to win this matchup easily?

But the facts are always a little different from the data, and all the data seems to be because of Ross's Rondo, and he was beaten by Ross as soon as he came up.

Rondo completed the full set of tricks in 45 seconds, which is already a very good result for Rondo.

But Rose finished in just 28 seconds.

The difference in performance is not an exaggeration to say that it is three levels behind.

So, when Rondo, who was aggressive, was defeated by Rose so easily, the audience even the supersonic fans burst into laughter.

"Rajan doesn't really think he can beat Rose, does he? No way?! ”

"Hahahaha, Rondo without Yes Catbell is like a postman who can't go to work, and the Rondo we are familiar with is now lying on his stomach in his nest 'sleeping' and has not appeared."

All kinds of cynicism appeared for a while.

Fortunately, Rondo is already very familiar with such battles.

No matter how miserable it is, can it be worse than when he was at the Spurs?

Moreover, because every time he proves that he can do without Yes, it ends in failure, which also makes Rondo now fully realize what level of player he is.

So, he's very happy with what he's getting now.

Compared to Rose's easy hanging of Rondo.

The other two matchups in the skills competition were much more intense.

The competition between Wade and James Harden is quite fierce.

James Harden was a little anxious and hit the iron once, but he still got a high score of 27 seconds with his super-fast completion action.

Wade, on the other side, is not as impatient as James, neither fast nor slow, all of them completed all the project actions at one time, and the final results are also quite good In this case, although James Harden also performed very well, he was still defeated, and the first skills game of the Supersonic All-Star was also declared a failure.

The team with two wins of three duels wins.

After the first two sets of duels are played, the league team will be completely promoted, but in order to give face to the players on both sides, whether they are promoted or not, the game must be finished.

In the end, in a game that was not about victory, the very hard-working Reggie Jackson was easily defeated by Irving, and in the final, Irving, Rose and Wade, and finally Wade defeated Rose and Irving, two young players, in 25 seconds, and won the title of the skill king of this skill challenge.

Both Ross and Owen are a little frizzy.

Especially Owen.

Owen's technique is very good, but the technique of the trick competition is completely different from the skill of Owen's club.

A bunch of stakes, how much skill does Owen need to come up with?

In such a game, his Owen's possession advantage could not be played at all.

Even if he is better on the ball than Wade, in a game like this, his skills can only be used to the extent that Wade is already the limit.

"It would be nice if the trick competition was a little more difficult."

In terms of possession, Owen is a top student, and of course he wants this game to be more difficult and opponents.

But to his disappointment, this game mode does not simulate more complex situations,

Owen was a little regretful though.

But Wade's opening tonight for the league team was also the start of the league team's All-Star weekend, which still made the league players next to him sing and dance with some excitement.

"If you don't have Yes, don't try to be fast in this game, no one in the history of the NBA has the ability to control at high speeds as Yes!"

This result, even Wade, who won the challenge king tonight, is staggering.

His trick win tonight is mainly against a group of young opponents.

There's no comparison with a real boss like Yes.

And immediately after the skill game, the game will be the second biggest game of the game tonight, the three-point contest!

Why is the three-point contest the second most important game?

Take a look at the line-ups of both teams.

Yes, Leonard, Durant, Kobe, Nowitzki, Curry!

Isn't this lineup luxurious?

If tonight's four games, the slam dunk contest and the skill contest are the most star-studded, then the three-point contest is the same as the heads-up contest, it is the most star-studded game!

However, compared to the bright stars of these players who participated in the three-point shootout, their results were ......

The first to play was Kobe, who scored 8 points with a fierce operation......

O'Neal laughed uncontrollably, while the All-Stars of the league team on the sidelines were equally dumbfounded.

Boss, aren't you, are you so iron tonight?!

This score, Kobe himself is a little embarrassed.

And Durant, who is his opponent, is not very scored, with 9 points......

"This is the first time Durant has scored in a single number of points in the three-point contest?"

"Three times or four? No matter how many times, this time, Durant finally won, congratulations to Durant, he beat Kobe Bryant by a narrow score! ”

Looking at Kobe Bryant, who had a 'black' face on the court, and Durant, who was laughing awkwardly, the whole scene had turned into a sea of joy.

Because the next matchup between Leonard and Nowitzki was also full of laughter, Leonard scored 11 points and Nowitzki scored 12 points.

"The three-point contest suddenly became an iron contest, and at the level of the four of them participating in the three-point contest, I think many fans at the scene will think, 'I can do it too', hahahaha!"

O'Neal is laughing, Barkley is laughing, the fans are laughing, everybody is laughing.

And these crazy laughter came to an abrupt end until Curry, who was the fifth to play, threw a 28-point shot!

28 points!

The Yes Gymnasium, which had been laughing and laughing just now, instantly fell silent.

Everyone was staring at Curry on the court with his finger outstretched and the ...... Curry was pointing in the direction

Yes！
