Chapter 197: After All-Star

The NBA All-Star Game, which has been watched by countless fans around the world, was held in Dallas, and more than 100,000 fans set a new record in the history of the World Basketball Tournament. Although the withdrawal of stars such as Kobe, Iverson, Paul, O'Neal and Roy is regrettable, the stars led by James and others still gave a wonderful performance, and finally the Eastern Stars defeated the Western Stars under the leadership of James, and the AMVP was tied again, and James and Wu Huang jointly won the All-Star MVP.

-- The New York Times

"The moment Hugo lifted the All-Star trophy, the 2009-2010 All-Star Weekend ended, and all the individual accolades were taken away by the Emperor of New York except for a slam dunk title, and Hugo became the pride of Liberty City."

-- Los Angeles Times

"In this All-Star Weekend, there is a team that has won the four honors of 'Three-Point King', 'Skill King', 'Rookie Game MVP', and 'All-Star MVP', let's congratulate the Knicks, their rookie core has just made history!"

-- USA Today

"This All-Star belongs to Hugo!"

-- The Cleveland Truth-Telling

"Hugo needs to thank LBJ, the most valuable honor he has received, which is brought to him by the true king."

-- Fox Sports

"A brilliant little guy who, although not yet the test of time, has done what the 23rd has not done!"

-- Yahoo Sports

"Hugo may not join the Dream Team, the Red Nation is calling for America's best rookie."

Wu Huang after the All-Star Game. Looking at his AMVP trophy in the hotel, he couldn't help but fall into a giggle.

The league has only one AMVP trophy in place today, and James has already won the AMVP twice. Naturally, I'm embarrassed to rob him, and the gorilla alliance will reissue him afterwards.

Of course, in addition to the trophy representing honor, Wu Huang also received a $5 million reward from UA. Among the additional bonus terms of his sneakers, the three rewards with the most money are the regular season MVP, All-Star MVP, and Finals MVP, which can be awarded $2 million each, the rookie game MVP and the All-Star game starter are $1 million, and the skill challenge and three-point game champion are $500,000 each. The six items add up to a total of $5 million in rewards.

When Emperor Wu first signed the contract, he felt that these bonuses were very generous, but when he got these honors. Looking back, this bonus doesn't seem to be much, because his current fame is fully worthy of these bonuses, and the UA company is not losing money. His sneaker sales are sure to see a big increase after the All-Star break. The five million dollars have already been earned.

ESPN reported the next day -- The first All-Star Game in history to be held at the Grand Stadium ended with a 151-147 victory over West Force, and while this year's East-West match lacked a lot of entertainment compared to previous All-Star games, the intensity of the game at the end made up for the lack of entertainment.

Let's start with the lack of entertainment elements, which showed signs from the opening of the game, the starting lineup in the East was better because of the presence of James and Howard, and they all made a few simple dances after their debuts. The All-Stars in the West don't have any entertainment elements, and Duncan, Nowitzki, and Nash just walked out of the aisle with a smile on their faces and high-fives with everyone.

This was also reflected in the course of the competition. In this official All-Star game, there were not too many impressive shots, the only thing worthy of praise was Superman Howard's long-range three-point shot, but this is also something that O'Neal and other old people have played many times. The rest of the thing, that is, a few air relays of the stars on the field is slightly better, but it can only be a performance, and it does not rise to the level of entertainment.

In the All-Stars of previous years, because of the existence of O'Neal, the big shark who likes to be funny the most, the entertainment on the All-Stars is always full of unexpected content, such as a dragon dunk from the backcourt to the frontcourt, such as continuous crotch dribbling on the outside line to prepare to break through the small man, such as passing after the crotch, such as the opening dance and the midcourt twisting the butt and so on. Led by him, Howard and James, two new generation players, also followed, making the court look lively.

And this year's all-stars are at the time of renewal, this year's all-stars belong to an all-star of "no Yao, no wheat, no Ke, no Ai, no shark, no Carter", and without the leadership of the old men of the sharks, there are many newcomers who are selected as All-Stars for the first time or the second and third times, so the atmosphere on the scene is neither intense nor relaxed, and there is a taste of four dislikes.

Stylistically speaking, this All-Star Contest seems to present such a result, that is, the favorite to play did not come, some of the people who like to play have no partner, those who want to learn to play do not know how to play, and those who don't want to play destroy the play of others, and finally make it a result of playing but not playing.

However, these shortcomings were compensated for in the final moments, and at the end of the game, the excitement and intensity of the confrontation between the two sides rose to a certain level, and they led and tied in the final minute, which is rarely seen in the All-Star Game in previous years, and in the end both sides had a chance to win the game in the final moments, but unfortunately in the end the East seized the opportunity and won the game.

This result is also caused by the fact that there are more young players, after all, everyone doesn't know how to play as an All-Star, so they have to play in the way they are familiar with, and the way they are familiar with is the 82 games of the regular season, so the two sides are full of intensity at the last moment.

Of course, this is not a bad thing, after all, turnip and cabbage people have their own love, some fans like entertainment, some fans like confrontation, and this year's All-Star is just a reflection of the latter characteristic.

After the game, the media focused on the Gang of Three, and the connection of James, Wade, and Bosh in this game was eye-catching, and many of the Eastern team's cooperation was completed by these three people.

Wade and Bosh spoke after the game about partnering with James. "You can see how we feel together, passing each other, dunking," the Flash said. I've been playing with him for a while, like in the Olympics, and he's made it easy for all the guys, and Cleveland is an example of that. ”

Bosh said: "I have the opportunity to be a team-mate with him for a day and I just enjoy it, he always passes me the ball in the game and makes me feel my rhythm. A couple of times he's been assisting me to score offense, and it's a good feeling to play with LBJ, always. ”

James, Wade and Bosh will all be free agents this summer. There is media speculation that Wade and Bosh may be able to play on the same team as James, they are both elites of the 03 generation, and they are both in the East, the key is that they have a very good relationship in private.

But on this issue. Wade and Bosh both played Tai Chi.

"Have you ever wanted to be teammates with LeBron for more than one day a year?" The reporter asked Wade. "I'm still wondering. Why is it so long to ask this question? Wade smiled, "We can dream, right?" Why not? I dream of this day. Bosh also laughed: "I can't imagine this scene, there are too many people who want to be teammates with LeBron, and I'm worried that someone will come to me to duel." ”

Wu Huang saw these three people flirting and scolding after the game yesterday, and he was really disgusting in his heart, and he couldn't help but shiver several times, and almost threw up!

The media in New York focused on Wu Huang. The All-Star Game has always been a star-studded affair, even if there have been too many injuries this year. But most of the injured stars are concentrated in the West, and the stars in the East are still alive, so the competitiveness of the East team has not diminished at all.

It has always been difficult for young players to shine on this stage, and it is even more difficult to win the AMVP in their rookie season! Since the launch of the All-Star Game in 1951, there have only been three All-Star MVPs in history in their rookie seasons, namely Baylor, Robertson and Zhang Erwan, and now Wu Huang has become the fourth player to win the AMVP in his rookie game, and he is also the only active player.

Therefore, yesterday's Wu Huang is the real protagonist, although he is sharing the trophy with James, although his comprehensive performance is not as good as James, but when it comes to the ability to brush data, I think only Robertson can compete with him back then.

Da Sabi even thinks that if Wu Huang can get the "Double Twenty" yesterday, then he will not be tied with James, but will enjoy this honor exclusively.

James commented on Wu Huang after the game: "Obviously from the beginning, Hugo went for this, his performance was unbelievable, his talent was amazing. ”

NBA officials also feel that this year's All-Star Game is different from most All-Star games in the past years, and the suspense of the outcome of this game has been extended to the last minute, so that the "lack of suspense" that has often been blamed in the previous All-Star games has been completely filled.

Looking at the scene of the players on the court in the fourth quarter being caught by two All-Star opponents, looking at Nowitzki's silence when he made free throws and the huge boos when the Eastern All-Star made free throws, the All-Star Game really entered the most perfect mode this year: "All-Stars in the first three quarters, Finals in the last quarter".

Officials believe that if this model can be continued, and the staffing and strength distribution of the East and West All-Stars can be more balanced and reasonable regardless of the factors of popularity, then the All-Star Game may truly become a festival for real fans.

The fly in the ointment is that there are too many injuries in the West this year, so that the only thing that can compete with the East in the West is the inside, Duncan, Nowitzki and Stoudemire VS Howard, Garnett and Bosh, but the final result is obviously different from what was expected before the game, Howard and Bosh's interior combination is good offensively and defensively, so that the only thing that can be played in the West is also lost. What's even more a headache for the Western Stars is that the Eastern Stars have three strong offensive points: LeBron James, Wade and Wu Huang, and it is difficult for the Western Stars to find a way to limit the three.

At last year's All-Star Game, Kobe Bryant and O'Neal laughed and shared the MVP title. This year, both missed the All-Star Game, and the AMVP ended up in the East, and the show-hungry Wu Huang and James shared the honor again.

This may be the inheritance between the second and third generations of players, and in recent years there have been many talented rookies in the NBA, just like the inheritance of the 03 and 96 generations, and the league will fall into a group dance of the old, middle and young generations in the next few years. This is sure to bring more great stories to the fans.

On February 16, Wu Huang returned to New York and had no time to rest, and was about to leave for Chicago. Against Derrick Rose, whom he had just beaten in the All-Star Game

Derrick Rose is also unlucky, his hip injury is not very serious, he has almost recovered from the injury in the days leading up to the All-Star Weekend, and if he does not play in the rookie game, then his injury will not get worse, and maybe he will not miss the next game. However, he heeded his agent's instigation and entered the rookie game with an injury. Not only did he not defeat Wu Huang head-on to increase his fame, but he did not perform well because of the injury, and the second-grade team lost to the first-grade team. There is also a reason for his poor performance.

It was already miserable enough to lose, and then Rose was unable to participate in the most important All-Star Game because of repeated injuries.

And that's not all. Rose is still unavailable for this game. He could only wear a suit and sit on the bench to watch Wu Huang beat his team with a pit performance of 3 of 11 shots.

In this match, although Wu Huang was not in good shape because he participated in too many All-Star games, Iguodala, David Lee and Gallinari, who had no All-Star results, were in explosive form, and Wu Huang hugged his teammates' thighs and went home to win.

Gallinari scored a game-high 30 points, Iguodala had 24 points and 10 rebounds, David Lee had 22 points and 15 rebounds, and Wu Huang had a measly 11 points. But he contributed 10 assists and still had a double-double.

The schedule arranged by the league is interesting. The Knicks are going to play the Bulls on the road and will soon return home to play the Chicagoans again, but this time it will be their turn to play at home.

Wu Huang was full of confidence before the game, although he and his teammates were not particularly in good physical condition, but the Bulls were back-to-back away from home, and their physical condition was worse than their own side. Besides, they have already won an away game yesterday and the pressure is much less on them today. On the contrary, the Bulls must win today, their two teams are barely the same level of teams, and they are also playoff rivals, and losing one game is counted as two, and losing two games in a row is too passive.

"I think the pressure should be greater than ours, the Bulls are now competing with the Bucks, the Heat and the Bobcats for a playoff spot, and today we have home-court advantage and Rose doesn't know if they can play, so the Knicks are bound to win." Wu Huang was unceremonious, and he would provoke before the game.

Today was the first time Wu Huang returned to the home game after being an All-Star, and the fans at the scene put up countless banners and slogans, most of which were written with words such as MVP.

The Knicks haven't had an MVP for many years, but this year they have produced an All-Star Grand Slam, and Wu Huang's two MVPs and two individual project championships have made the whole Big Apple City a sensation!

Wu Huang himself doesn't know what it means for a first-year player to win the MVP of the rookie game and the All-Star MVP, and win two championships in individual events?

The American media was not enthusiastic enough about Wu Huang's report, in fact, if he didn't get the final AMVP, the American media might have reported more actively, but now he has got too many things, which has made most of the American media silent and consciously snub him.

In the past two days, the Asian media has long been crazy, Wu Huang is about to be pushed to the altar by the crazy media in Asia, and many Chinese fans think that Wu Huang has surpassed Jordan in the same period, as for James and the like, he can't be compared with him at all, that gorilla was robbed of half of the MVP by a first-year rookie, and he should feel ashamed.

When Wu Huang returned to New York today, he felt what kind of miracle he had accomplished, he had already set a record by winning three trophies in an All-Star, and now he got four, I am afraid that except for himself, no one will be able to replicate such a miracle from now on.

But now Wu Huang didn't have time to feel his achievements, and as soon as he returned to New York, he was almost divided in half by several girls.

Taylor Swift and Christine face Emperor Wu like wolves, and there is a Lori at home who doesn't leave, this kind of good thing of hugging left and right may feel very happy at first, but after a long time, it begins to feel troublesome.

In this game, Christine took Emma Watson, Taylor Swift took Emma Roberts, his agent took Chloe Moretz, and the five girls in Wu Huang's notebook all came to the scene today, and his support exploded all of a sudden, and as a result, he made 4 of 13 shots in the game, and finally almost was sent off for six fouls.

The home fans were embarrassed, and the entire Madison Square Garden was the slogan of MVP, but today Wu Huang played nothing to do with MVP.

Rose finally returned to this game, and he made a bold statement before the game that he would definitely get back the loss of the last game at Madison Square Garden.

He didn't brag, Rose performed very well today, shooting 11 of 20 from the field, cutting 31 points and 5 assists, beating Wu Huang, who was not in good shape after the All-Star. But the tragic Bulls core still did not get a victory, he did not complete the pre-game rhetoric, the reason is the same as the last game, the Knicks' second brother, third brother, fourth brother and fifth brother incarnate thighs, and the Knicks' potential was shown in the slump of Wu Huang.

David Lee had a game-high 26 points and 13 rebounds today, Iguodala had 20 points, 5 rebounds and 7 assists, Harrington had 20 points and 9 rebounds, and Wu Huang only scored 12 points.

Wu Huang hugged his thigh again and succeeded, he himself felt that it didn't matter, his team still won the final victory, his own performance was not good, the right to be the eldest aunt came, who hasn't performed in the slump?

"In these two games, I played badly! I know what the reason is, everyone who plays knows that the general warm-up is as fierce as a tiger, 0/5 at the beginning, today I hit ten three-pointers in a row when I was warming up, and it is normal to hit five irons in the opening game. Wu Huang shook his head self-deprecatingly, "That's it, if I shoot a little iron in the next warm-up, the hit rate in the game should come up." ”

Wu Huang made fun of himself after the game, and he was a little embarrassed by the performance of these two games, but seeing that the other four main players of the Eastern Star Team were not in good shape after the All-Star break, he could certainly find an excuse for himself.
