"Hey, Tracy, what's the matter, why don't you look happy at all?" On February 7, 2002, after the Pacers defeated the Mavericks 109-103 at home, Meng Xu took his two younger brothers, Jermaine O'Neal and Jamal Tinsley, to Philadelphia to participate in the All-Star Game of the 0102 season. As soon as he settled in the hotel, Meng Xu received a call from Iverson, saying that he had booked a box and wanted to invite all the Eastern All-Stars to get together, and before he had time to rest, Meng Xu rushed to the box that Iverson had booked in advance at the largest entertainment center in Philadelphia, but Meng Xu found that most of the people had not yet arrived, and only Maddie and Mutombo were drinking in the box, and it seemed that neither of them was very happy.

"Alas, Grant is injured again." Maddy said, took another glass of wine and drank it all, Grant Hill joined the Magic at the same time as Maddy last season, but played less than 5 games before the season was reimbursed, returned from injury this season, played 3 games and was injured again, after a half season of rest, Grant Hill felt that there was no problem Grant Hill came back in the last round of the Magic's home game against the Cavaliers, but after playing less than ten minutes, Hill was carried off the court, and after the game, after the doctor's diagnosis, Hill will miss all the remaining games of the season. Originally, Maddie was counting on Hill to take some of the pressure off him when he returned, and the two teamed up to try to make the playoffs this season with a better record, but now Maddie's hopes are dashed again.

This season's Eastern Conference is simply a big brawl, the top four teams, the Nets, the Pacers, the Pistons, the Celtics, the wins between the four teams have been maintained within one game, anyone has the potential to reach the top of the table, and among the remaining teams, 7 are still fighting for the remaining playoff spots, and the gap between them is also very small, the team ranked fifth today, as long as it loses one, it is likely to fall to eighth, and the Magic is one of these 7 teams.

After comforting Maddy a few words, Meng Xu said hello to Mutombo again, it can be seen that Mutombo is also very unhappy now, the 76ers, who ranked first in the East last season, collapsed after losing to the Lakers in the finals, and has now fallen to the seventh position in the East, and Mutombo is now embarrassed in the position of the 76ers, last season the 76ers spent a huge price to trade Mutombo, but in the finals, the 5-game series Mutombo was ruthlessly beaten by O'Neal, became the backstabbing man for the 76ers to miss the championship, so the current 76ers are questioning Mutombo from top to bottom, if it weren't for Mutombo's salary of up to $16.11 million this season, he really couldn't find a pick-up, and the 76ers would have sent him away a long time ago. This season is Mutombo's contract year, Mutombo's agent is already thinking about the last contract of his career, and the 76ers are still hesitant to renew the contract, and the 36-year-old Mutombo still wants to work hard for the championship ring at the end, but looking at the current state of the 76ers is hopeless.

This season's Eastern All-Stars, with a lot of new faces, Meng Xu, who left the West, once again became this year's vote king with a record 2567332 votes this season, and although Jordan after his comeback did not get as many votes as before, he still occupied a starting spot with a total of nearly 1 million votes, and because Carter was absent due to injury, Jason Kidd replaced Carter into the All-Star starting lineup, and compared with last season, the five starters of the Eastern All-Star have been replaced by three, and in the All-Star bench lineup, Paul Pierce, Jermaine O'Neal, Byron Davis, and Antoine Walker are all first-time All-Stars, and like Meng Xu and Kidd, Sharif Abdul Rahim, who came from the West, also occupies an All-Star spot, and the rest are Maddie and Ray Allen who were Eastern All-Stars last season.

Western All-Star lineup, O'Neal continues to be absent "due to injury", following last season, the "Big Four" Tim Duncan, Kevin Garnett, Chris Webber, Dirk Nowitzki, were selected as All-Stars again, in addition to Karl Malone, Kobe Bryant, Gary Payton, Peja Stojakovic, this season's Western All-Stars have also added several new faces, Steve Francis, Steve Nash, Wallis Zebiak, Elton Brand, are also selected as All-Stars for the first time.

After this season's All-Star lineup was released, Meng Xu called Wallis Zebiak as soon as possible, congratulating him on being selected as an All-Star before James Posey. And Elton Brand called before Meng Xu called him, and after showing off, he finally felt that the promise made by the two at the All-Star Rookie Challenge has finally been fulfilled.

After the curtain came down on the last round of games, the East and West All-Star head coaches finally settled, the Lakers lost to the 76ers on the road, and Phil Jackson also gave the All-Star head coach to the Mavericks' old Nelson by one point, because Adelman served as the head coach of the Western All-Stars last season, so this season's Western All-Star head coach is the second-ranked Mavericks head coach Nelson Sr. The head coach of the Eastern All-Stars, in the direct confrontation between the Nets and the Pistons, relied on Kidd's triple-doubles and scored double-doubles with the team's 8 players, the Nets not only defeated the Pistons, but also kicked the Pistons from second to third in the East, and the head coach of the Nets, Byron Scott, finally locked the seat of the head coach of the Eastern All-Stars.

Because it is the first time to be selected as an All-Star, Jermaine O'Neal looks a little cramped in front of the two old men, Maddy and Mutombo, especially Mutombo, this season the Pacers and the 76ers played two games, one win and one loss, but in both games, Jermaine Oni was abused by Mutombo, not only the shooting rate was less than 40%, but also gave Mutombo 11 blocks in the two games, so although several people chatted together, Jermainoni basically didn't talk much, and drooped his head, Take a peek at Mutombo from time to time.

Just when a few people were chatting, the big man of the Eastern All-Stars, Jordan, appeared, and Iverson was following Jordan, it seemed that Iverson should have gone to pick up Jordan just now. Damn Aaron, he actually left us here and snuck himself up to pick up Michael. Although Meng Xu scolded in his heart, seeing Jordan and Iverson who walked into the box, Meng Xu still put down the wine glass in his hand, stood up, and walked towards the door, and in addition to Mutombo, the other Maddie and Jermaine O'Neal also stood up and followed Meng Xu in the direction of Jordan.

"Meng, long time no see." Jordan smiled first with Maddie and Jermaine O'Neal hugged one by one, and then gave Meng Xu a bear hug.

"Michael, why are you here so late? And you, Aaron, call me and tell me to hurry up, but I can't see anyone before I run away. After hugging Jordan with excitement, Meng Xu complained to Jordan and Iverson.

"Three drinks for the late one, Michael won't mind." Mutombo, who was on the sofa again, handed the wine glass directly to Jordan in one hand, and held a freshly opened bottle of wine in the other.

"Does Dubeken still hold a grudge?" Seeing Mutombo shouting three glasses of wine, Jordan smiled and took the wine glass handed over by Mutombo, and drank three glasses in a row: "Dibaken, you see I also drank wine, do we also hug one."

"Okay." After staring at Jordan for a long time, Mutombo finally squeezed out a good word from between his teeth. Jordan's attitude today, to be honest, made Mutombo feel unbelievable, if Jordan in the past, it would be good if he didn't smash the wine glass in your face, how could he smile and hug you after drinking.

"What an amazing and great man." After hugging Jordan, Mutombo could feel that the little obsession in his heart had disappeared.
