Chapter 244: Champion
The Staples Center Arena was bustling with flowers and streamers on this day.
The cheerleaders of the Lakers wore the most beautiful clothes and showed off the explosive body of an athletic woman.
Celebrities and celebrities can be seen everywhere, it was originally the second largest city in the United States, and it is also the location of Hollywood, there are too many entertainment stars, and even Schwarzenegger and BA celebrities have also come to share the festival with fans.
Naturally, the top level of the alliance will also be present and take control of the overall situation.
After a cabaret performance, the entrance ceremony began with a cabaret in the middle of the pitch.
First up is the coaching staff, led by the Pacers' Rick Carlisle in the East and Timberwolves' Philip Sanders in the West.
Then the East players came out first.
The first is Paul Pearce, the "Uncle Skin" from the Celts, with a blue headband and a rigid expression. It caused a burst of cheers from the fans, and the sound was not small, but it was not loud either.
Pierce's strength is undoubted, but his popularity is really poor.
11 All-Stars in his career, all of them were substitutes, were selected by coaches, and none of them were pushed to the All-Star starting position by fans.
So far this season, Pierce has averaged 23.0 points, 6.6 rebounds, 5.2 assists, 1.7 steals and 0.7 blocks per game, but the Celtics have only a 23-31 record.
The second to appear is Ron Artest "The Beast" from the Pacers, who also wears a blue headband.
It was Atay's first All-Star and he looked much more excited, interacting with the fans as he walked through the crowd.
Artest's stats are 18.1 points, 5.3 rebounds, 3.9 assists, 2.1 steals and 0.8 blocks, which doesn't look flashy. But everyone knows that his number one priority on the team is to defend opponents, and the Pacers' No. 1 record in the league is inseparable from Artay's performance.
After all, with little O'Neill here, it is not Artest's turn to be the boss.
But Artest is defensive, defending all opponents at less than 8.1 points per game this season, and their defensive ability is outrageous.
Some media even claimed that Artest was the best small forward this season. In the final Best Defensive Player competition, Artest also won this important individual honor.
The third appearance was Jason Kidd, the "old demon" from the Nets, Kidd's appearance immediately caused huge applause and cheers, far surpassing the previous Pierce and Artest, and the popularity was not at the same level at all.
Of course, Kidd received more than 1.12 million votes, second only to Ye Feng, Iverson, and Maddie, and only more than 100,000 votes less than Maddie.
If this result is placed in the West, Kidd is only behind Kobe Bryant and far ahead of Francis, and can be the starter.
Kidd has 16.9 points, 6.6 rebounds, 9.6 assists and 1.8 steals so far this season, and he is still all-round, passing, defending, and controlling the tempo...... Almost anything.
However, if his shooting ability can be slightly better, the Nets will definitely have a record of more than 31-19.
The fourth to appear was Kenyon Martin, Kidd's teammate, a representative of the NBA's brutalist players, and a master of pie-eating ability.
With 17.9 points, 9.8 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.3 blocks, Martin's stats are also very versatile.
But there are also a lot of doubts, and many people believe that if it weren't for being Kidd's teammate, Martin wouldn't have been able to make it to the All-Star.
The fifth appearance was Baron Davis "The Bearded" from the Hornets.
Baron Davis has been phenomenal this season, both in terms of his stats and his team's results.
The data of 23.0 points, 4.2 rebounds, 7.8 assists and 2.4 steals can be said to be gorgeous.
The sixth player is LeBron James from the Cavaliers, who has 20.4 points, 5.7 rebounds, 5.8 assists, 1.5 steals and 0.7 blocks so far this season.
What else is there to say that a rookie can play 20+5+5, everyone knows what such data means.
That's the template for a superstar.
The seventh to appear was Tracy McGrady from the Magic, and Maddy's appearance was met with huge applause and cheers, as well as injustice.
Maddie playing as an All-Star off the bench is unthinkable.
But there is no way, who is called Maddie's opponent is too strong, one is the standard Mi Guo-style lonely hero Iverson, and the other is Ye Feng with oriental magic.
So far this season, he has 27.2 points, 5.7 rebounds, 5.9 assists, 1.3 steals and 0.7 blocks.
If there is no suspense, Maddie will be the scoring champion this season.
Iverson, the only one who can compete with him, has been injured and absent too much, and he is basically no longer eligible to participate in the comparison.
Next, the starters.
The first is Vince Carter from the Raptors, this year's All-Star ticket king.
Carter appeared, and the effect was even worse than Maddie's, and the cheers and applause were overwhelming.
In recent years, Carter has become a "half-human, half-god" in the eyes of fans, and he has a hundred ways to score like Jordan.
But all it takes is a dunk to drive all the fans crazy.
So far this season, 21.2 points, 4.7 rebounds, 4.8 assists, 1.1 steals and 0.9 blocks.
Carter's real problem now is his defensive attitude, and many celebrities assert that if he continues to maintain this attitude, he will never be able to catch up with Jordan, and will even be pulled away by Kobe.
The second appearance was Jermaine O'Neal from the Pacers, the absolute core of the Pacers, one of the league's most dominant power forwards, and versatile both offense and defense.
O'Neal Jr.'s ability does not need to be doubted, before he was plagued by injuries, he was able to explode with Duncan and Garnett, Webber was already injured, Nowitzki had just risen, and he was simply not enough to see in front of him.
So far this season, he has 20.3 points, 10.3 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 0.8 steals and 2.0 blocks.
O'Neal Jr.'s stats are also not flashy, much worse than the Wolf King, and even inferior to Duncan.
That's because he has a lot of good helpers, Artest, Reggie Miller, Al Harrington, he doesn't need to take on the responsibilities of the Wolf King, the answer, and be a lone hero.
The third to appear is "Answer" Aaron. Iverson.
Iverson's popularity goes without saying, even in Los Angeles, where he was once the biggest nightmare and fear, he was able to win countless cheers.
Iverson was too strong at the top of his game to keep up with him, and no one could stop him from scoring.
With a gorgeous style of play, a good appearance, a flamboyant personality, and a never-say-die style, Iverson is deeply loved.
Not to mention, his height as a dwarf in the NBA alone makes fans unable to forget him.
He's not the shortest in the NBA, but he's the strongest of the NBA's shortest.
The fledgling dared to challenge the god of basketball, led the team to challenge the invincible OK combination with a single core, and was not in the line of fire with minor injuries......
Everything about Iverson is worth blowing for his fans for a lifetime.
In addition, don't think that Carter is the king of tickets, and his popularity is higher than Iverson.
Carter's influence was only in basketball, and Iverson was influencing countless fields at that time.
