Chapter 344: How much do you pay attention to?
Zhang Qi didn't really give Jordan face in the end, and the old gang leader's two games could only be exchanged for a pretending result.
Jordan almost got his head back at the "Slam Dunk Contest", but this shouldn't be blamed on Zhang Mao for embarrassing him, the high scores that the koala baby should give have been given, but you go back and forth with those three moves, is it possible that all the dunks will add feelings to you?
Then there is no need to compare, just send the trophy directly to you.
This is also a result that can be expected a long time ago, if Zhang Qi doesn't kill Jordan, he won't be able to really come out, since you don't want to give way, then I can only kick you down.
The name Maddie has made many fans remember, although Zhang Zhu's evaluation of him is not high, but this little guy has at least entered the super-class ranks in terms of athletic talent, and Kobe Bryant is a little worse than him in this regard.
The final day of All-Star Weekend is a real star stage, and New York fans may not be too happy because they don't have a single player making it to this year's All-Star.
Ewing was originally the first place in the Eastern Center vote, but like the tragic Olajuwon, two of the four centers were injured at once this year, plus the sea generals who were reimbursed for a whole year last year, everyone knows that an era has passed, and the frequent injuries of these three people mean that the era that once belonged to the four centers has passed.
O'Neal may not be convinced, but he is a junior who was added to the "Big Four", just look at the starting lineups on both sides to understand, in addition to Jordan and Malone, how many players are left who entered the industry in the eighties?
If you look at the players who missed the All-Star due to illness this year, most of them are stars who debuted in the 80s.
Before the words fell, Stockton announced before the game that he was quitting the All-Star Games, citing an ankle discomfort.
It wasn't an injury, no one was going to blow it up at this time, Stockton really felt uncomfortable with his ankle, and he would have gone straight to the doctor.
The league doesn't care about that, they want more young players to be on the All-Star stage, and it's best for Stockton to give up a spot now.
David Stern didn't ask for other people's opinions this time, he directly named Kobe Bryant, and the president at this moment was very domineering.
In fact, he can't ask other people's opinions, everyone knows that the "madman" Sprewell is now far beyond Kobe, and Drexler is also better this year than last season, but these two are not as good as Kobe Bryant, who has a picturesque style of play, and of course the opportunity has to be given to the most valuable person.
Kobe Bryant entered the All-Star in such a daze, although it is a lot worse than the starter in another time and space, but it is already worth celebrating to be able to enter the All-Star, Drexler and Sprewell can't get in if they perform better, what more bike do you need?
"Shaq, don't listen to other people's rumors, I said that if I help you get the MVP, you will definitely not be able to eat salt."
Every year before the All-Star Game, there is an internal roundtable, this year Zhang Yu first appeased O'Neal, because the outside world is rumored that he wants to win three consecutive games, so O'Neal is very skeptical of his previous commitment, at least in exchange for him to win two MVPs in a row, and he must also hope to achieve three consecutive hegemony, just like everyone wants to get three consecutive teams, Zhang Qi will not want to?
Of course, Zhang wanted to win the three-in-a-row, but he was sincere when it came to refuting the rumors, although he and his teammates didn't say that in the morning, including head coach Harris, who also got his instructions.
O'Neill still looked suspicious, and then he finally remembered that last year's Zhang Qi seemed to be like this, should he be doing it again?
Zhang Qian secretly glanced at Peyton, who was silent, and wanted to say to him: "You help me get the third company, and I will push you to be the person to talk about next year." But the thought that he had said the same thing to Kidd this morning made it a little hard to speak.
In fact, whether O'Neill wants to or not, it will be difficult for him to interfere with Zhang Qi today.
Zhang Mao will coax him, completely because the winning side basically wins the MVP in the All-Star Game, and the league has made a special exception for him last year, and this time the MVP will never be awarded to the losing side again, so the premise for him to win the three-game is to win, which has to be helped by O'Neal and Payton.
Payton has long given up the competition in his heart, he is mainly here today to show up, just get a few points for a while, and tomorrow he has to go back to continue to rub with those teams, and he really doesn't have the heart to earn an MVP with no chance.
Most of the players on both sides have this attitude, only a few people are qualified to compete for MVP this year, and most of the rest are here to gild, including some players who have entered the All-Star several times, they are just to make their All-Star appearances better, and they will be more confident in negotiating with endorsement businessmen when the time comes.
Looking at it this way, Zhang Qian has a great advantage, because he has brought three helpers who will seriously assist him, and only the bull trio on the opposite side can pose a threat to him.
Of course, Zhang Wei didn't forget to refuse O'Neill's proposal for the hip-hop entrance ceremony again, which was too stupid.
In the past two years, O'Neill has always been worried about pulling the other four people into the arena with an awkward dance, but Zhang Zhu has always opposed this brain-dead way of entering the arena.
still remembers that in his rookie season, Zhang Wei felt that he was a powerful + idol player.
But now you ask him, should the powerful faction be ranked last, or the idol faction is more attractive to young fans, those fools don't look at you at all, they only look at your appearance and style, and don't even talk so much, as long as your appearance is high enough.
Therefore, he has a heavy idol burden now, how can he have the kung fu to dance with you!
However, in terms of dress, he is still as sassy as ever, following yesterday's red scarf suit, tonight he wore a double-sided metallic silver suit for the interview, the highlight is that it can reflect all the light, almost blinding everyone's eyes.
Reporters protested against this mischievous behavior, because Zhang Zhu's suit turned all the flashes back, which made many reporters' eyes burst into tears on the spot, and it was really uncomfortable.
David Stern was helpless about this, and he said in a playful tone: "It looks like I'm going to have to give the players a 'dress code'. β
At this time, everyone really thought he was joking, only the little bald head next to him knew that his boss was really going to set up a dress code.
Unbeknownst to Zhang, his attire had spurred the birth of a new rule, and at the moment the koala baby was being interviewed by the media before the game.
"Leon, let's predict the outcome first."
"No one can let me lose unless I don't want to win!"
Zhang Yi came up with a wave of 13s, and the other players were a little uncomfortable with his answer, because they were opponents most of the time.
"Will you dance again?"
"I walk on the ground, I don't dance in the clouds."
This is not his own original snack, but 60E brain-dead fans will definitely think that this is his original, don't ask why.
"Who would be your most trusted person on the Western team?"
"Whether it's the regular season, the playoffs, or the All-Star Game, I'm the most trustworthy."
"I mean except for Leon."
"It has to be Lyon, there is nothing to say except this"
Kobe Bryant showed a look of adoration when he heard this, when would he be able to say such domineering words to reporters!
"Will you get your third AMVP trophy?"
"The third one is a matter of time and evening, but I don't have any space in my house now."
Zhang Qi said this a little too wildly, and O'Neill said that he was very uncomfortable.
"It seems that you don't take this game very seriously."
"It can't be said that it is not taken seriously, it is too crazy to say that, so let's say that it is medium-valued."
After Zhang Qi finished speaking, he silently put on his sunglasses, this 13 he felt that it was not his highest level, but it was only an average level.
The stars of the West experienced the daily life of a Lakers player today, and Zhang Qi loaded all the 13s as soon as he sat there, and at the moment they had mixed feelings of envy and jealousy.
O'Neill was also very uncomfortable, and made a silent decision in his heart, he must steal the limelight from Zhang Qi with his newly practiced mechanical dance.
This is obviously thinking too much, when I saw Zhang Qiu appear surrounded by a group of beautiful cheerleaders, O'Neal, who was about to appear in the second place, almost called the police, because no player has ever pulled a cheerleader to help when he entered, which is a bit cheating, right?
O'Neill felt unfair at first, but then took a few deep breaths, thinking that even with the help of the cheerleaders, it might not be able to beat his mechanical dance, and he still had a chance to steal the show for a while.
However, the moment he saw that Zhang Qi was arranged to speak after entering the arena, O'Neill knew that he could no longer steal the limelight, because this was obviously the alliance behind him, how could he steal such a limelight?
What O'Neill didn't know was that Zhang Ke didn't have the idea of competing with him for the limelight, because he never felt that anyone could steal his limelight, dream.
But he also doesn't want to listen to the league's ideas to make any speeches, although it is difficult to shirk as the first spokesperson of the NBA, he can not follow the speeches provided by the league.
"I'm sorry, I forgot to take my dozen pages of speech?"
Zhang Wei still accepted the task, but his first sentence made David Stern's heart tremble and shouted: What is Godfather doing? Don't mess around!
Zhang Zhu is not fooling around, he just doesn't like to be so hypocritical, so he rarely makes long speeches.
"My 10-page speech is very inspirational, and probably a lot of people need this kind of motivation, or want to see or see inspirational language or scenes. If so, they will surge, they will be infected, and they will re-establish their purpose. But unfortunately, this is just blindly following, and you still want to give up when you wake up the next day. β
Zhang Mao's words are not very inspiring, David Stern was suddenly scared to pee, could it be that his godfather knocked the drug?
Of course, he didn't take drugs, but his words also stunned the fans at the scene, and a group of elites who claimed to be upper-class society all looked at Zhang Fu with surprised eyes at the moment, and their thoughts were similar to those of David Stern, and they all thought that this prince was taking drugs?
Today's game can be watched on the spot, which also shows that O'Neill is too naΓ―ve, today is Zhang Zhu's real home field, which black player can steal his limelight?
Zhang Wei continued: "I know that even if some people ridicule and contempt, there will always be people who will insist and tell themselves: the dream is still there, and I am still there. Really, I especially admire this kind of people, they will definitely succeed in achieving their dreams. But the reality is that most of us don't have that will. Yes, let's be generous and admit that this is most of the real you and me. Instead of this, it is better to use my quick fix - when you need to work hard but are lazy, you have to tell yourself: the rival is trying; When you watch a movie and play a game and can't help yourself, you have to tell yourself: the enemy is reading a book.
Zhang Mao's words made many people at the scene cry and laugh after listening to it, is this still a representative of their high society?
This one...... Seems a bit ...... Too down-to-earth, right?
If Zhang Qi knew what these people thought, he would definitely complain: "If I don't have the strength, will I be slapped in the face if I pretend to be forced?" If I were an ordinary person, would the alliance praise me like this? He knew very well that what he was saying now was based on the previous two establishments, so his words were not dirt, not pretending.13
He also knew that these elites at the scene would definitely come up with their own appropriate meanings to interpret their words, because it would prove that they were excellent.
Zhang Qi is using the vanity and hypocrisy of these people to make them applaud themselves willingly, so that they can paint colors for themselves without reluctance, in fact, the truth Andersen has long told us with fairy tales, and now you know why Zhang Zhu is even fragrant when he farts?
Of course, he also has a natural advantage in the elite group, that is, when the subsequent players come out one after another, the black stars one after another immediately make him more acceptable to the elite as a mongrel.
Western Stars starters β
Center: Shaquille O'Neal.
Power forward: Karl Malone.
Small forward: Zhang Mao.
Shooting guard: Gary Payton.
Point guard: Jason Kidd.
Eastern Stars starters β
Centre-forward: Alonzo Mourning.
Power forward: Sean Kemp.
Small forward: Grant Hill.
Shooting guard: Michael Jordan.
Point guard: Tim Hardaway.
Zhang Qi greeted the Eastern stars one by one, and the 1997-1998 All-Star Game was finally about to begin......
The lights were turned on, O'Neal and Mourning began to jump the ball, the Sharks won the ball for the West, and the Orlando fans in front of the TV scolded "traitors" when they saw this!
As soon as Kidd got the ball, Mavericks fans began to scold, and Zhengtai instinctively found Zhang Qi who was running.
"Stupid, didn't you see me posing?"
At this moment, the young ladies all over the world screamed, but Zhang Wei didn't want to catch the ball so quickly, he was still posing there, and he almost fell flat in order to catch the ball.
"Here you go!"
Zhang Qi lost the ball to O'Neal less than three seconds after receiving the ball, who took the ball and turned his exaggerated back past Mourning, who was squeezing his muscles in front of the camera, and completed the first score with a one-handed smash that was extremely inconsistent with his figure.
"What a flexible fat man!"
Zhang Zhu teased O'Neill, and also made the fat man think that he was worried too much before the game, it seems that Zhang Zhu still keeps his promise.
The Western team is led by O'Neal, and usually the first player of the two teams to score with the ball is the protagonist of this year, so O'Neill is so happy.
The first ball on the East Army's side was completed by Hill, because Jordan didn't want to fight this year, Mourning's qualifications and honors were not enough, and Kemp was not popular here, so Jordan passed directly to Hill, who broke through the koala baby who was directing traffic to complete the dunk.
The All-Star Game was a show, and both teams didn't care about the score in the first half, and those two goals were all counted.
O'Neal does have a talent for showmanship, and he can keep entertaining the audience.
Halfway through the first quarter, O'Neal was as prepared to pass the ball as a defender, and then passed the ball to Zhang Qi through the gear, which caused many people to exclaim!
After receiving the ball, Zhang Yu faced the undefended penalty area, grabbed the ball with one hand and rushed to the basket, and in the exclamation of countless fans, he completed a violent dunk that was both like a tomahawk and a big windmill!
The live broadcast camera was immediately given to the sidelines, and I saw that Kobe Bryant on the bench and Maddie on the sidelines did not look good, especially the new "dunk king" was the most embarrassing, Zhang Fu's dunk was a little bit of a slap in the face, even if he was not sincere, but Maddie's face was still a little hot.
Zhang Mao's dunk is much more brilliant than the last dunk of Maddie's final, his wheel arm amplitude and tension are obviously much higher, and the whole process of dunking from jumping to completing the dunk is full of a sense of power that Maddie does not have, and the ornamentation and shock are immediately more than one grade higher.
"That's a perfect dunk!"
"Don't say that my koala baby only relies on creativity, this ball will break your ugly face."
"Leon is the only dunk king!"
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β
Zhang Mao's fans started again, but not only are they touting, at the moment the commentators from all over the world are licking and kneeling, and no one will complain about a global phenomenon, otherwise the house will definitely be gone the next day, and it's really not a joke.
The title of "God of Dunk" of baby Koala is also not a joke, after watching his slam dunk and then looking at others, I immediately feel bored, including Jordan's dunks when he was young, Zhang Yu is better in posture, tricks, strength, beauty, and difficulty, and the five items add up to more than a little stronger.
In the first quarter, when Zhang Qi staged this full-score dunk, fans were greatly less interested in the flying performances of other players. These players themselves also began to score more jumpers. Fortunately, the defensive intensity is still low, and the scores of both teams continue to skyrocket......
Harris began to make substitutions midway through the first quarter, and O'Neal didn't find himself out of the game at a staggered time with Zhang, but it overlapped with the rest of the Lakers' players.
Zhang Wei thinks he is too witty, and this is how he steals the MVP when he wants to save face - yes, when I'm on the floor with you, of course I'm going to pass you the ball. But I'm not there, you can't catch the ball, so it's none of my business.
Last year, he didn't dare to do that because other players might not be able to pass the ball to him.
But now he is not afraid, this is the result of his rise in status again, and no one will oppose him again.
Peyton has no idea of snatching the MVP with him, and after O'Neal goes down, who else can he pass to if he doesn't pass the ball to Zhang?
At the end of the first quarter, the score was 39:38, and the Western troops temporarily led by one point.
Then, the point is that the best data on the Western Army's side is not O'Neal, but Zhang Mao, who played ten minutes in the first quarter before leaving the game, he shot 6 of 6 and scored a game-high 14 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists.
On the side of the Eastern Army, Hill shot 6 of 7 shots, and cut down 12 points, 2 rebounds and 3 assists second only to Zhang Mao, the gap between the two is actually that one person has three points, and one person can only shoot two points.
At this time, you can also take a look at O'Neal's performance, in fact, the data of the sharks are not bad, shooting 5 of 6, cutting 10 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists, if it is not for the free throws and two misses, it is not much different from the other two.
O'Neal finally felt that something was wrong, Zhang Mao's stats were better than him, so he couldn't win the MVP!?
Now there is news outside, it is said that David Stern has recognized Zhang Zhu as his godson, how can the league not be partial, he must get better data than Zhang Zhu to have a chance.
Well, this rumor may be confusing the relationship.
However, O'Neal's feeling was right, especially after the start of the second quarter, when he was surrounded by a group of Lakers guards, he had a premonition that his MVP was going to fly away.
Harris switched to the backcourt combination of Kidd and Jones in the second quarter, and if Uncle Mu can play the No. 4 position, it is estimated that he will also be sent to surround O'Neal.
O'Neal only picked up the basketball once in the first three minutes of the quarter, and he grabbed the rebound himself, and his previous foreboding was now a reality, and his stats came to a complete standstill.
Zhang Wei said: This has nothing to do with me, you see that even Jones doesn't pass the ball to you, which can only show that your character is not good, maybe one day Kobe Bryant will turn his face with you after leaving the Clippers, this is all uncertain.
Kidd was obviously wilted, he first didn't pass the ball to O'Neal, and then continued to pass the ball to the ball that was difficult for the interior players to catch, not only passing low, but also picking on the timing of O'Neal's unstable body, for fear that O'Neal would catch the ball steadily.
Zhang Yu secretly applauded Xiao Zhengtai's despicable off the field, usually his pass is to lead people to empty positions, but today it is to bring O'Neal to a crowded place, each ball is not only tricky, but also makes O'Neill unable to attack at the first time, which is too bad.
O'Neal played just five minutes in the second quarter and made two turnovers without scoring a point.
Originally, he had a chance to dunk, but he was too anxious to dunk away, obviously his mentality was a bit explosive!
In the end, the fat man couldn't bear it anymore and was sent to reason with Kidd after a dead ball.
Harris didn't say a word on the sidelines, and directly replaced all of them, and Lao Mu and Zhang Yu appeared together.
The dead fat man came off the scene, and the scene seemed relatively dull, mainly because Uncle Mu had no entertainment spirit at all, and he began to shake his fingers. Fortunately, the Eastern Army also had Rick Schmitz defending just as seriously, and even stopped a dunk by Zhang Mao.
This is tantamount to poking a hornet's nest, Zhang said that the baby was very angry, and then two consecutive outside long shots, plus a foul against Iverson, made a hint of gunpowder on the court.
Iverson is very innocent, he didn't score a point, but he was slapped to the ground by Zhang Zhu with the ball, didn't they all say that the All-Star Game didn't defend in the first half?
Zhang Wei obviously got his anger back from Iverson's head, who let Rick Schmitz stay too far away from him, and didn't attack much, of course he had to find a soft persimmon to pinch it first.
The Eastern Army called a timeout, and then both sides started to get serious, and the game began to abandon entertainment from the second half of the second quarter, so this kind of game really shouldn't be played with a player like Mutombo.
But there are also benefits, once the two sides get serious, the poor interior defense of the eastern team is reflected, the western troops rely on Zhang Mao's breakthrough to continue to attack under the basket, and gradually widen the gap, playing to the end of the first half, the advantage of the western troops has expanded to nearly 10 points, and they ended the first half with a 74-65 lead over the eastern troops.
Zhang played 18 minutes in the first half and played the most minutes of any starter on the Eastern and Western Stars, scoring 24 points on 10-of-12 shooting, along with seven rebounds and six assists.
O'Neal's side was much more miserable, the first quarter was nothing, but after the end of the first half, his data didn't seem to have changed, still only 10 points, and 4 rebounds and 2 assists, which can't even be ranked as the No. 2 person in the Western Army, even Kobe Bryant took advantage of the chaos to brush up on 7 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists, and there is no need to mention how aggrieved O'Neal's big brother should be.
"Yes, I see it, the bastard still wants to be re-elected!"
O'Neill will finally confirm that he has been fooled, but his heart is strangely calm, why is this?
