Chapter 332: The Results of the Celebrity Match

The NBA All-Star Game was first held by the National Basketball Association on March 2, 1951, and has evolved into an annual exhibition game where NBA stars gather.

Each year, two teams are made up of the best players from the two regions of the East and West, and a match is held to decide the winner. After evolving, the contemporary All-Star Game has evolved into an "All-Star Weekend," a three-day event.

On October 3, 2017, the league officially announced that the NBA All-Star Game will usher in a major reform, the previous East-West competition will be canceled, and instead, the two captains of the All-Star Game will select players from the selected All-Star players to form a team and compete against each other. The two captains will be the players who have received the most fan votes in the Eastern and Western Divisions.

As always, the selection process for the 24 All-Stars will not change, with 12 in the East and 12 in the West. All-Star starters will still be voted for by fans, media and players, while the 14 benches will be voted for by the 30 team managers, including three forwards, two guards and two players in any position. If an injury is unavailable, NBA commissioner Adam Silva will be appointed to replace him. The captains of both teams will select their players from among the All-Star starters and the All-Star benches, respectively.

In addition to the cancellation of the East and West, the two teams will also play on behalf of different charities...

Wu Yifan was invited to play in the 2018 Los Angeles All-Star Weekend Masters, which is the third consecutive year he has participated in the NBA All-Star Masters after the 2016 and 2017 Masters. Wu Yifan is the first Chinese star to participate in the All-Star Celebrity Game, and now he has become the first Chinese star to be invited to participate in the competition for three consecutive years, making history.

In the 2016 Masters Game, Wu Yifan made his debut and scored 6 points and 7 rebounds in the start. In the 2017 Masters Game, Wu Yifan participated for the second time, and although he was troubled by a back injury, he still got 3 points and 3 rebounds. The 2018 All-Star Celebrity Game will be staged on February 17 Beijing time at the Verizon Up Arena at the Los Angeles Convention Center.

"It's really nice to be able to participate in the Masters for three years in a row and communicate with everyone in the way of playing. This time, I still hope to enjoy the process, after all, we don't usually have much intersection, and it is difficult to have the opportunity to play on the basketball court together. Every year I come to the NBA and meet some new people, which is also a great reward for me. Wu Yifan said.

Wu Yifan is a die-hard basketball fan, he started playing basketball as a teenager and received professional training, and during his studies at Guangzhou No. 7 Middle School, he led the team to win the South China Junior NBA Junior High School Basketball League South China Regional Championship. Wu Yifan once had a dream, that is, to enter the NBA. "After the age of eleven or twelve, I began to practice more and more professionally, to play basketball. I had this dream of making it to the NBA. Wu Yifan said.

In the 2016 All-Star Celebrity Game, Wu Yifan participated in the first game, and he gave a wonderful goal of beating Hart, the MVP winner of the Celebrity Game for 4 consecutive years, and changing hands in the air to pick up the basket. I wish Wu Yifan a wonderful basketball performance in this Los Angeles All-Star Celebrity Game, partnering with Maddy and others.

It can also be seen from the list that this Masters Game is led by two legendary stars, Maddie and Pierce... Maddy, 38 years old and 203 centimeters tall, was the 9th pick in the first round of the 1997 Raptors, and he officially retired from the NBA on August 27, 2013. Maddy averaged 19.6 points, 5.6 rebounds, 4.4 assists and 1.2 steals per game in his career, shooting 43.5% from the field, 33.8% from three-point range, 1.2 three-pointers per game, and 74.6% from the field.

From 2002-03 to 2003-04, Maddy won the NBA scoring title for two consecutive years, including averaging 32.1 points per game in 2002-03. Maddie has grown into a superstar with his crazy scoring performance in the past two seasons, and his single-handed pull-up jump shot is chic and memorable. In the summer of 2004, Maddie joined the Rockets as Yao Ming and formed the Yao Mai group.

After the Yao Mai combination teamed up, it brought the Rockets championship hopes, and also brought endless expectations and happiness to Chinese fans. The Yao Mai combination failed to lead the Rockets to win the championship due to injuries and other factors, but they left people with many good memories, such as Maddie's miracle of 35.13 seconds, Yao Mai's seven big battles in the playoffs and the Mavericks, etc.

Because of her outstanding contributions to basketball promotion, Maddie was inducted into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame in 2017 and became a legend of the NBA. Maddie is now playing in the All-Star Celebrity Game, partnering with stars such as Wu Yifan, and people can once again witness his former pull-up jumper stunt, and I believe many fans will not miss it.

Pierce, 40 years old and 201 centimeters tall, was the 10th pick in the first round of the 1998 Celtics draft and officially retired from the NBA after the 2016-17 season. Pierce played 19 seasons in the NBA, averaging 19.7 points, 5.6 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.3 steals per game while shooting 44.5 percent from the field, 36.8 percent from three-point range, 1.6 three-pointers per game and 80.6 percent from the free throw line.

Pierce spent 15 seasons with the Celtics, going through a low period for the Green Army, and also formed a big three with Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen to help the Green Army win the 2008 championship. On February 12, 2018, Pierce officially retired from the Celtics' No. 34 jersey and his story with the Green Army became legendary. It is believed that in the near future, Pierce will be inducted into the Hall of Fame for the first time.

In addition to the two legendary stars of Maddie and Pierce, the former NBA stars who participated in the Masters this time also include "Slam Dunk" Nate Robinson and "White Chocolate" Jason Williamson. At 175 centimeters tall and 33 years old, Robinson is physically strong and has a talent for acting and comedy. Williamson, 42 years old and 185 centimeters tall, was once one of the NBA's best-looking point guards.

The two sides of the game were named "Lakers" and "Clippers" after the two teams in the host city of Los Angeles. Wu Yifan represented the Lakers, with 2 points, 7 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 steal, and his score was only one point less than NBA Hall of Fame superstar Maddie.

What is eye-catching is that Wu Yifan can grab 7 rebounds in the NBA arena full of giants, which shows that Wu Yifan has the appearance of fresh meat and the strength of the man. In the end, although the Clippers celebrity team defeated Wu Yifan's Lakers celebrity team 75-66, the results are not the most important, showing the masculinity and sunshine of Chinese artists is the most important, and Wu Yifan did it.

Quavo of the well-known rap group "Migos" scored 19 points to lead the Clippers to victory and was elected MVP... That's the end of the Masters!
