"Good evening, everyone, and welcome to the 1985 NBA All-Star Game! This is the Indianapolis Mountain People Dome, and I'm going to talk about the star-studded race, and I'm Dick Stockton. ”

The 1985 NBA All-Star Game finally kicked off at the Dome on the evening of February 10.

The main venue of the tournament, the Mountain Man Dome in Indianapolis, is not a basketball court, but a large football field.

Therefore, it covers a much larger area than the average basketball hall, and the number of spectators it can accommodate is much larger, and the audience who came to watch this basketball feast tonight reached 60,000, which is more than three times that of an ordinary basketball hall.

This stadium was built in 1984, that is, just last year, after becoming the home arena of the Indiana Colts, it was immediately temporarily renovated to undertake the 85-year All-Star Game, and perhaps only such a magnificent venue is more suitable for the glamorous All-Star Game.

As soon as Gan Guoyang entered this large gymnasium, he began to sigh at the strong economic and scientific and technological strength of the United States at that time, and he thought that China would have to develop such a large gymnasium for another 20 years before it could be built.

At the same time, he looked at the gymnasium stands, which were 50 percent higher than the ordinary basketball stadium stands, and the dense fans and spectators on it, and his heart couldn't help but speed up a little.

"First of all, let's introduce the honorary captains of both sides, the honorary captains of the Western All-Star team, a shooting guard from the Los Angeles Lakers, a six-time All-Star selection, Jerry West!" In the first part before the start of the game, the players entered the stadium and introduced the honorary captains on both sides, that is, the retired veteran stars.

The Western All-Star team chose Jerry West, the legendary "logo" man, as the honorary captain, he looks like an elite in a suit and leather shoes, and Gan Guoyang also knows that this big man is not only powerful on the court, but also turned his hands into clouds and rain in the NBA after retiring.

Immediately afterwards, the star players of the West are introduced one by one, and the appearance of the stars is also particular, in terms of seniority, generally speaking, the more famous the player, the higher the age of the player, the lower the appearance.

Of course, the five people who started must be the last five to play, but the ones who are generally mixed with the starters must also be famous and powerful players with old qualifications.

Although Gan Guoyang is only a rookie and is still Chinese, he was able to play in the fourth, behind Inglish, Larry Nance and Calvin Knight, which fully shows that Gan Guoyang's strength is still recognized by other players in the league.

Olajuwon followed Gan Guoyang into the market, one on the list and one champion, and the superstar status of the two was undoubtedly revealed in the first All-Star.

The starting five in the West are, in order, Ralph Sampson, Adrian Dantley, George Gervin, Magic Johnson and Abdullah Abdul-Jabbar.

Ramsey became the head coach of the Western Conference All-Star team, with two assistant coaches sitting next to him.

Immediately afterwards, there was the introduction of the Eastern All-Star team, the honorary captain of the Eastern team, who was a former superstar point guard, a star from the Rochester Royals and the Milwaukee Bucks, "Big-O" Oscar Robertson.

Of course, Gan Guoyang knew that this Oscar Robertson was the famous triple-double little prince in NBA history, and he once won a three-double-double per game in the season, but he didn't expect that the applause and cheers from the audience were much warmer than Jerry West.

"This Robertson doesn't seem to have won any particularly awesome honors in NBA history, why is his popularity so high?" Gan Guoyang watched Robertson button up his suit and slowly walk on the court to greet the cheers of the fans, and he was a little puzzled.

On the eastern side, the starting five, Isaiah Thomas, who was still sitting on the bench and smiling like a child until he came on the court; Michael Jordan, his face is more nervous, a little tight, similar to Gan Guoyang; Moses Malone, immersed in the water as always; Dr. J. Owen, with a hint of a smile, looked decently generous; Larry Bird, nothing on his face.

Gan Guoyang took a closer look at Jordan standing opposite, it makes sense that Jordan could be selected as an All-Star starter in his rookie season, because his individual performance is so dazzling, although he has been surpassed by Bernard King and Larry Bird in points per game in the season, but he is still in first place in total points.

And his perfect combination of spectacular style of play and practical efficiency has made him a new idol for young fans.

Gan Guoyang expressed great envy for this, and at the same time, this is also his goal of constantly working hard to surpass Jordan, but he will not suppress Jordan.

Gan Guoyang saw Jordan's somewhat sullen appearance, and knew that he must still mind the previous behavior of Thomas who excluded Jordan from the circle in the elevator intentionally or unintentionally.

In this regard, Gan Guoyang looked at Thomas very unpleasantly, he was also a newcomer, he just couldn't see Thomas bullying the newcomer, so he was talking to Jordan all the way.

But after arriving on the field, it was Gan Guoyang in the west Jordan in the east, and several other young people were also in the west, so Gan Guoyang couldn't help him, and it was impossible to help Jordan.

Moreover, Gan Guoyang is trying to help another person tonight, and that is the starting power forward in the West, Ralph Sampson.

Both sides quickly took off their respective teams' sportswear and took to the court in All-Star Game uniforms.

Of course, Gan Guoyang was a substitute, so he had to sit obediently on the court and watch the game, which was also the first time Gan Guoyang served as a substitute player since coming to the NBA.

The Western All-Stars on the road wore a blue jersey, while the Eastern All-Stars on the home side wore a white jersey, and the old rivals Abdul-Jabbar and Moses Malone were already in the center circle ready to jump the ball.

Although Abdul-Jabbar is older, he really has an advantage in height, so he still jumped the ball and tossed the ball to Magic Johnson, and the All-Star Game officially began.

Although the All-Star Game is a performance game, and winning or losing does not matter, since it is a game, it is natural to divide the winner and loser, and Johnson also took the ball and began to organize the offense as usual.

According to Ramsay's simple arrangement before the game, his request was to "let go of the fight under the command of the magic", which was basically the same as no requirement.

But Ramsey still instructed the Magic to pass more balls to Ralph Sansenmp and give him more opportunities to perform, and his reason was naturally to hope that he could boost the youngsters.

For the Magic, he doesn't have to win the MVP, and his whole focus this season is on revenge against the Celtics.

Abdul-Jabbar is like an old fairy, and he has no interest in the All-Star Game MVP.

George Gervin had already won the All-Star Game MVP once in '80 and had little interest in winning again.

And Adrian Dantley, a picky, plus an ugly guy who plays ball, the Magic really can't think of any reason for him to win the MVP.

So the magician naturally happily agreed, so he began to look for opportunities to pass the ball to Sampson on the outside as soon as the game started.

And Sampson was also repeatedly stuck in the position, but Bird opened the defense quite actively, Sampson finally took the ball in the low position on the left side, turned over and made a jumper in the basket, but the shot was too hasty, the ball smashed into the neck of the basket, and the rebound was pocketed by Jordan.

"This guy is too anxious, he can die if he shoots slowly." Gan Guoyang sat off the court but was more anxious than Sampson, you must know that Sampson's opportunity was exchanged for his vow of "three assists per game".

Thinking of having to brush up on three assists per game, and he is now averaging only 1.2 assists per game, Gan Guoyang's head grew when he sat on the bench.

At this time, the Eastern All-Stars team had launched a counterattack, Thomas passed the ball to Bird on the baseline, but Bird was caught by two people, and the transfer ball almost missed, but he was picked up by Moses Malone under the basket by mistake, Malone wanted to go straight to the basket, but Abdul-Jabbar may be in the habit, and as soon as he saw Moses Malone going to make a layup, he slapped it and interfered with the layup.

However, Jordan later plugged in, ran and jumped past everyone, and with a light touch of the ball in the air, the basketball slid into the basket.

The first backcourt rebound, the first frontcourt rebound, and the first point of the opening game all came from Michael Jordan.

Gan Guoyang suddenly became worried, Jordan won't steal the show.

Sure enough, Jordan quickly grabbed the second rebound, George Gervin missed a layup, and Jordan took the rebound and launched a quick counterattack again.

The ball stumbled in the front court, and after all, these superstars were also a temporary patchwork performance team, so don't be tactical, and there is no basic tacit understanding in attack.

The ball finally came to the hands of Isiah Thomas outside the three-point line, and Thomas saw that the defender was far away, and it was an All-Star Game anyway, so he jumped directly to shoot a three-point shot.

The ball spun twice on the basket and went in! The Eastern Conference All-Stars opened with a 5-0 lead.

"This goal is scored too!" Gan Guoyang saw that Thomas's three-point shot could be shot, you must know that in the regular season, Thomas's three-point shooting rate was only 25%.

Subsequently, the two sides started a mistake battle on the court, either you made a mistake in dribbling, or I walked with the ball, two or three rounds in a row, and the whole court was a mess.

This is not because the level of the players is not high, but because their level is too high, but the players lack tacit understanding between them, and they want to play on the field, but they don't have such a fit, so it is naturally a series of mistakes.

And at the beginning, the players on both sides were really serious about defending, so the scene would definitely not be good.

However, as the game deepens, the two sides become more and more relaxed and begin to perform to their heart's content, then the game will naturally become more and more exciting.

(Half past ten, second shift)
