In 05, the NBA issued a dress code, prohibiting sleeveless shirts, T-shirts, shorts, hair accessories, and necklaces...... Basically, if you don't compete, you're going to have to wear a suit.

In the 10-11 season, the league revised the dress ban again and included the head coach in the scope of management.

Today, the NBA's clothing requirements are not as strict as they were in later generations, and players and head coaches are free to dress as they please. Li Wei has always been a player and coach, so he didn't wear a suit, but a sportswear, ready to play at any time.

Now, he's the Eastern Conference All-Star head coach, and this Sunday he only coaches, not players, so he wears a neat suit and comes to the Oakland Arena.

"Wow, Coach Li, you're so handsome in a suit!" Countless reporters quipped.

ESPN's reporter interviewed forward: "Coach Lee, when I was an All-Star in the last year, Larry Bird said that the difference between you and him is that he can stand here and coach an All-Star, and you can only be a spectator in the audience. You're the head coach of the Eastern Conference All-Star team this season, is there anything you'd like to say to Bird? ”

Li Wei smiled: "Tell Bird that I'm here, and when we lifted the championship trophy last season, he could only watch in front of the TV!" ”

"Haha——!" The reporters screamed and heckled in unison!

Larry Bird was also in attendance for the All-Star Game today, and reporters quickly found him.

"Coach Bird, what do you think of Coach Lee's statement?"

Larry Bird has reconciled with Li Wei, but bickering still happens from time to time.

Hearing the reporter's words, Bird chuckled: "I love David and I'm happy to see David coach this year's All-Star Game." But I want to say, last season they ran shit luck, this season won't, let's see in the playoffs, the Pacers will knock the Knicks out! ”

It was the first All-Star Game in the post-Jordan era, and some old faces disappeared and some new ones popped up.

Carter, a sophomore, announced to everyone in an incomparably gorgeous way that his time has come, and countless fans have been conquered by him!

However, will Carter, like Jordan, gradually dominate the alliance, or will he become an angel with broken wings in the blink of an eye, like Hill, who will gradually become a surprise after the fire, or like Penny Hardaway?

No one knows the answer!

In this era, there is no way to select people to form a team in the east and west, the stars in the east will play for the east troops, and the stars in the west will play for the west troops, and the all-stars will be the east troops VS the west troops!

In the All-Star Game of '97, the NBA abandoned the uniform and began to wear the jerseys of their own teams. In 98, and this year, it was all the same, and the previous life did not return to unification until 03.

Although each wears its own uniform, there are also some special ones. The players in the east are wearing the home team uniform, which is mainly in white tones, while the players in the west are wearing the away team uniform, which is darker than the other, and it is still easy to distinguish.

The Eastern All-Star starters are Iverson wearing the 76ers' white No. 3 jersey, Houston wearing the Knicks' No. 20 white and orange jersey, Carter wearing the Raptors' No. 15 white and purple jersey, Garnett wearing the Knicks' No. 21 white and orange jersey, and Mourning wearing the Heat's No. 33 white and red jersey!

The Western All-Star starters are Kidd wearing the Suns' No. 32 purple and gray away jersey, Kobe Bryant wearing the Lakers' No. 8 purple and gold jersey, Pippen wearing the Trail Blazers' No. 33 black jersey, Duncan with the Spurs' No. 21 black jersey, and O'Neal wearing the Lakers' No. 34 purple and gold jersey!

There are two stars in white and orange Knicks jerseys in the East and two Lakers players in purple and gold jerseys in the West, which also shows that the Knicks in the East have the best record in the league this season, and the Lakers in the West are kings!

At the beginning, O'Neal jumped the ball to win Mourning, and Kidd dribbled the ball to the front court and passed it to Pippen, who in turn passed it to Kobe.

Kobe dropped the ball to O'Neal on the inside, O'Neal singled Mourning, but Garnett ran to the bag, and O'Fat had no choice but to pass the ball back to Kobe!

Kobe Bryant waved a three-pointer and didn't score, Duncan took the frontcourt rebound from Carter's head and showed off a 45-degree angle to hit the board!

0:2, the Western troops lead!

For fans, there are many highlights of this game, such as the showdown between O'Neill and Mourning's 92nd Bangyan Tanhua!

O'Neal is the champion in 92, Mourning is the leader, last season Mourning was the league's first center, the best defensive player, but O'Neal is only the center of the second team!

Ao Pang needs to defeat Mourning in order to prove his dominance!

Another example is the duel between two No. 21s.

Spurs No. 21 Duncan and Knicks No. 21 Garnett were opponents in last year's Finals.

Fans felt that this year's All-Star was full of highlights and confrontation, and after the players performed wantonly in the first half, the second half was also very confrontational.

After Jordan's comeback in '95, the East Army won three consecutive tournaments, Jordan won two All-Star MVPs in three years, and Gllay Rice won another. The stars of the West, who have not seen a victory in many years, are holding their breath, this year is the home of the West, and they want to win!

In this kind of game, Li Wei couldn't design too complicated tactics, so he made a few simple ones, letting the five people on the field take turns to score, as for how to execute it, it was up to them.

Phil Jackson's side apparently had the same idea, leaving the game to the players!

In this way, the comparison between the two teams is the feel, the talent, and the rationality of the lineup!

In terms of feel, the two teams are almost the same, but in terms of lineups, the interior of the Western team is O'Neal and Duncan, and the benches also include David Robinson, Ewing, Rasheed Wallace, Webb, Carl Malone and others, which are really strong!

On the eastern side, the three interior lines Mourning, Uncle Mu, and Dale Davis are all defensive giants, but the whole game is not as good as defense, and Garnett can't change the situation before the Knicks are a pseudo-big player!

The inside line of the west crushes the east!

Compared to the outside line, the West Force has two historic organizers, Kidd and Payton, and the East Force does not have a decent point guard!

The only person under Li Wei who can be considered a point guard is Iverson, but if his playmaking skills are really good, he will not be arranged by Larry Brown to play point guard.

At the last moment, the Eastern Army fell behind, and Li Wei drew a tactic, wanting Iverson to hand over the ball to Garnett or Grant Hill, and Garnett or Hill would organize the game with the ball high and play the game the way the Knicks played!

But Iverson had other ideas, he didn't implement Li Wei's tactics on the court at all, and he threw several key balls by himself!

Li Wei understands Iverson, this is the first time in his career to participate in the All-Star Game, he wants to score, he wants to win the MVP, as the league's scoring champion, a defender for a while, he is also qualified to be the protagonist today!

Unfortunately, his personal heroism didn't help the Eastern Force win!

126:137, the West team won, Duncan scored 24 points and 14 rebounds, both of which were the highest in the West, but O'Neal scored again and again in the last moments to help the West team win, and the performance was not bad, with 22 points and 9 rebounds.

Finally, O'Neal and Duncan shared the All-Star MVP trophy!

In the East Army, Iverson scored a team-high 26 points and 9 assists, but unfortunately the last few key shots were not scored. No one blames him, All-Stars is fun, lively, relaxed, as long as everyone has fun!

For Li Wei, it doesn't matter if he wins or loses, it is enough glory to be an All-Star head coach!
