Chapter 692: 2016 NBA All-Star Game (2/4!) Ask for a commuter pass! )
In All-Star history, it is customary for the person with the highest score to win the MVP, which is the norm in both the main game and the rookie game.
For example, Jokic also got a triple-double last year, but in the end, the MVP was given to Wiggins for the most points.
"The MVP of the 2015~2016 NBA Rookie Challenge is ...... Nikola Jokic! ”
However, when Xiao Hua announced the final selection results, it surprised many people.
The courtside media eventually voted for Jokic, who was significantly brighter.
He wasn't the top scorer, but he got a big triple-double.
In other words, he broke the norm with a better performance than last year!
When Jokic could no longer hide his smile and lifted the MVP trophy, there were also whistles and cheers from the audience.
They have watched the game and naturally know who the most outstanding person in this game is.
After the competition, Tang Tian also went down to the venue to congratulate his disciples.
The alternate was selected for the All-Star Game and won the MVP of the rookie game, Jokic is only a sophomore, and his accolades came much sooner than expected.
Jokic's show was unexpected, and fans at the scene had higher expectations for the All-Star Game.
The three-point contest and slam dunk contest to be held on the second day naturally attracted more attention.
The two favourites were preceded by a skills challenge that ended up with Anthony Davis beating Thomas Jr. to become the champion, the first time a big man has won the title.
Such a result also further whetted the appetite of the fans.
When the Splash Brothers played the three-point contest again, the fans at the scene had not yet begun to climax.
The Warriors started the season with a 24-game winning streak, played 52 games so far, and only lost a total of 5 games, which is absolutely phenomenal.
Now the team's duo has played consecutive three-point games, which has made this single event more attention than ever.
The final result did not disappoint the fans, and the Splash Brothers felt hot in the preliminaries. The Heat, who scored 23 and 24 points respectively, both advanced to the finals, while Booker also continued the feel of yesterday's rookie game, scoring 21 points and becoming the third player in the competitive finals.
Booker took the lead in the finals according to the rules, and after more than half a season of ups and downs for the Nets, his mental quality has been improved a lot, hitting all the first points, and finally shooting 22 points.
When everyone's attention was on Curry and Thompson, Booker came out strong.
Immediately following the defending champion Curry, the pressure created by Booker did not affect him, and he also made five shots in the first point.
Unfortunately, he didn't shoot well from the top of the circle and at a 45-degree angle on the left, and although he scored three of five points in the last flower, his score was fixed at 22 points.
With Booker's score, if Thompson throws a lower score than that, the two sides will have a championship play-off.
Last on the field was Thompson, who had the best results in the heats, but the heat was still worrying, considering that Thompson didn't play very well in the finals last year.
However, after the opening, Thompson's performance dispelled everyone's doubts.
The first point is all-in.
The second point is also all in.
The third point at the top of the circle is 5 and 4 are in.
In the fourth point, 5 went in 3.
At the last color point, he scored 4 of 5 balls!
In the end, his score was fixed at 27 points! Same results as Curry last year!
At the end of the game, the audience was cheering, and Curry also went up to Thompson to hit his chest, and the two really took their three-point shooting ability to the extreme, and it was their turn to be the champion of the three-point game.
Tang Tian was also watching thoughtfully from the sidelines.
Although the Nets won one game against the Warriors before, the Warriors' Splash Brothers' performance is really difficult to beat them in a series.
The success of the Cavaliers in the previous life had a lot to do with Curry's injury, and now no one knows if he will be injured again.
The fans who watched the three-point contest were excited, but the slam dunk contest that followed really made their blood boil.
Although Tang Tian knew that this was the most exciting dunk contest in the past ten years, he still couldn't hold back his excitement when he was on the scene.
LaVine, Aaron Gordon, Will Barton, Andre Drummond, because of LaVine's strong performance in the slam dunk contest last year, this should have been a game in which LaVine said to others "I'm sorry, I'm not targeting anyone, I just want to say that everyone here is garbage", but after the game really started, Gordon cooperated with the mascot to dunk all kinds of perfect points to make it all an illusion.
Gordon's final dunk on the bench forced the strongest LaVine out, the free throw line windmill, the free throw line crotch, and the fans on the scene were dumbfounded.
The two played the preliminaries and finals and even couldn't tell the winner, and in the end, it was through overtime, LaVine's 7th perfect dunk to decide the final winner.
The ups and downs of the process made fans addicted, and many people even compared this game with the three-point shooting contest of Carter, Maddy, and Kobe.
It can even be said that from Jokic's rookie game, to the three-point contest, to the dunk contest, the excitement of this year's All-Star Game is the highest in this decade.
It was also when the individual competition was exciting, and the focus of the media and media people began to shift to the main competition one after another.
TNT's latest episode of the show started all kinds of talk about the All-Star Game.
"The overly fictitious defense has made the All-Star Game less enjoyable year by year, and the excitement of this year's individual games can't hide this."
"Stars are scared of injuries but forget that the fans voted them in to be there for the real game, time and time again, and that will one day make them not want to pay."
The TNT Big Three's discussion of the intensity of the main match played right into the hearts of fans, and the ratings for this episode hit a record high in recent months.
In addition to discussing this issue, Yi Jianlian also became the focus of their discussion, after all, he was also the first yellow person to be selected after Yao Ming.
"He's as reserved as Yao, and his individual strength is much worse than Yao's, so I don't think he'll score many points in the game." Barkley was the first to speak.
"He's improved a lot in the past few years, and this season is at the peak of the Nets, not only the stats are good, but the ability is really good, I think he will still get some points, you have to know that he is in the East." O'Neill is still more optimistic.
"I also think so, Yi He was selected this time more on personal strength, he will hit some shots, and even I am looking forward to him to dunk or something." Smith originally paid attention to Tang Tian's attention to the rockets, so he knew more about Yi Jianlian.
"Hey guys, you don't understand what I mean, do you think he's going to get a lot of chances? Or how many shots do you think he'll have? Think about it, he'll get 0 points. Barkley retorted to the two, inadvertently touching on a slightly sensitive topic.
