Chapter 141: All-Star Weekend (Part 2)

Anyway, after the meeting with Duffy, please go back to nutritionist Bob, Su Dong's work in the United States is basically completed, and the trials of each team will not start until June, and the next three months will be completely handed over to Duffy to operate various tasks, and let Bob take care of Roy.

The following February, March, and April are busy seasons for basketball across the United States, and it is also an annual festival for fans.

The first is the NBA All-Star Weekend in February, followed by the NCAA "March Madness" in March, and finally the NBA playoffs in April.

Roy will not be idle in these three months, he will play his first All-Star Game at the end of February, the All-American McDonald's High School All-Star Game, just a few days ago, he received an invitation from the organizing committee, which not only stated that Roy was required to report to Chicago on February 29, but also asked Roy if he would participate in various individual competitions.

Roy is looking forward to this All-Star Game, and he feels that his efforts have finally paid off, does this mean that the arrogant American basketball community also acknowledges his strength?

Perhaps, anyway, as the MVP of the California Championship, Roy has no reason not to be selected for the All-Star Game.

As for whether to participate in each individual event, Roy still has to think about it, such as making a decision after watching the NBA All-Star Game, which may be a good idea.

After completing the All-Star Game at McDonald's High School, Roy will return to China in March for a month-long training camp, followed by the International U22 Men's Basketball Invitational Tournament in April.

In other words, in the past, in various invitational tournaments held in China, the participating countries would send some unpopular guys to deal with things, but this time it was different. It is said that the organizers and sponsors of this tournament spent a lot of money to invite the United States, Croatia and Australia to participate, and stipulated that the players must be under the age of 22 NBA, NCAA, and even the main players in the leagues of various European countries.

This increased the intensity and actual effect of the game, which was also one of the games that Su Dong tried his best to ask Roy to take seriously.

With the timing right, what Roy has to do is to maximize his abilities during this time.

Through the "Ball King System", Roy is now quite clear about his strength level and existing strengths and weaknesses, but unfortunately, with his current potential level, the upper limit of the ability that can be increased by all attribute points is 75, and if he wants to improve, he can only wait for the potential to slowly increase, or buy props, but there are no props in the "Ball King Store" that can increase the upper limit of ability.

Therefore, what Roy can do at this stage is to make up for his shortcomings.

Of course, before Roy plays his first All-Star Game, he will first watch another higher-level, more star-studded All-Star Game — the 2016 NBA All-Star Weekend.

At this time, it is mid-February, the NBA schedule has passed the halfway point, and the teams have almost reached a small physical bottleneck at this time, and the impact of the playoffs is almost at a clear moment, the league arranges this All-Star Weekend, which can allow all teams to take a temporary break, and second, to give the audience the performance of the league's top stars, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

The 2016 All-Star Weekend was scheduled for February 13 to February 15 at the Air Canada Centre Arena in Toronto.

The schedule is as usual, with the All-Star Weekend Masters and All-Star Weekend Rookie Challenge on February 13; On February 14, the plot people held a skills challenge, a three-point contest and a slam dunk contest; Feb. 15 is the main event of All-Star Weekend.

Cheng Yuyang originally wanted to invite Roy and the three to Canada to participate in this All-Star Weekend, but Roy politely refused Boss Cheng's invitation in order to avoid suspicion.

He watched his first All-Star weekend at home with Elan, Su Dong, and Bob.

Needless to say, the shock that the All-Star performances brought to Roy was quite amazing.

Leaving aside the entertainment of the All-Star Weekend Celebrity Game, the first wave of shock came from the All-Star Weekend Rookie Challenge: a group of young people who went to the sky and jumped into the sky gave Roy a glimpse of the power of newcomers from all over the world, white-skinned and dark-skinned, some of them are good at dunking, some can shoot, some are terrifying in bounce, some are as fast as the wind, some are dribbling through flowers, and some are passing the ball with long eyes in the back of their heads.

From the game, Roy got to know this powerful "rookie".

Not to mention the "old acquaintance" Andrew Wiggins, who scored 30 points in this game, which is considered a rebellion, but he is far from the only super newcomer in the game.

Wiggins' teammate, Karl-Anthony Towns, who took his big spot; Also from the Timberwolves, spring-like Superman Zach LaVine; Devin Booker, a shooting machine with a similar style to himself; the all-powerful big man Kristaps Porzingis; and Emanuel Moodier, a tall athletic point guard who played in the CBA.

These guys gather here from all over the world just to establish themselves in the NBA and prove themselves, so it can be seen that becoming an NBA star is definitely not as simple as he imagined, and Roy definitely doesn't want to be a frog at the bottom of a well.

The second wave of bigger shocks came on Valentine's Day.

When Carl Anthony Downs defeated Isiah Thomas, the "175th Strongest on the Surface", with a three-pointer, Roy was not calm, and it was the first time he had seen such a well-rounded big man.

You know, Downs is a pure interior line with a height of 211 cm, but his dribbling, passing, layup, and shooting skills are all done well, and Isiah Thomas, who was defeated by him, is a 175-centimeter traditional point guard, so you can imagine how comprehensive and perverted Downs is.

If he can land in the NBA this year, then he will also be Roy's competitor in next year's rookie game, Roy lamented.

The next three-point contest was also a classic, and the other two old acquaintances "Splash Brothers" Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson both reached the finals, and Roy of course remembered that the first NBA game he watched was the game between them and the Kings, and in that game, the three-point iron of the two brothers made Roy remember it vividly.

However, it was just an accident, an accident that made the "Splash Brothers" know Roy, and after arriving in the United States, Roy also began to watch NBA games slowly, and he knew very well that the most accurate backcourt combination in the NBA was the two in front of him.

And today they are "brothers", just to decide who is more accurate, Stephen Curry shot first, his shot is as fast as lightning, unique posture, it is said that this is a stunt that he has practiced hard since he was a child, fast shot, strange timing, high arc, chaotic position, which makes his three-point defense invincible, in fact, after coming to the United States, Roy's three-point shooting is also quietly learning the essence of Curry, judging from the situation with Wiggins, the effect is not bad.

The other finalist was Devin Booker, the aforementioned rookie, who shot first in the final and barely scored 16 points to basically quit the competition.

Then the defending champion Curry came out and shot as usual to score 23 points, which is already a championship score.

However, Thompson, who came out in the finale, was even more ruthless, scoring 27 out of 34 points, tying the highest score in the three-point contest to win the championship.

Roy counted the numbers to watch the game, it was too accurate, he could only say that it was too accurate, could he score 20 points with such a shot? Maybe.

Finally, the biggest shock came from the slam dunk contest, and Roy should feel lucky that he was able to catch this "battle of the century".

Not to mention the hot preliminaries, let's talk about the incredible finals.

The two dunks who entered the final showdown were Zach LaVine, a sophomore he had just met, who won last year's slam dunk contest, and Aaron Gordon, a rookie this year, from the Orlando Magic.

The slam dunk final between the two men was destined to go down in history, with LaVine bouncing and Gordon being creative, and the duel between the two lasted for four rounds.

Switch-to-hand dunk from Gordon's tossed crotch, LaVine's back-tossed sliding dunk; to Gordon's leapfrog mascot catches the ball under the crotch and changes hands angrily, LaVine's free throw line catches and flies dunks; 180-degree turn-dunk from Gordon's catch, 180-degree turn-dunk from LaVine's self-throwing; then to Gordon's catch-and-dunk across the mascot folding dunk, LaVine's free-throw line windmill one-handed dunk; In the end, the game ended with LaVine's ungodly free-throw line crotch changing hands for a dunk.

It is said that thousands of fans watched this slam dunk contest on their knees, others may not know, but at least Roy knelt down......
