Chapter 433: The Champions Are All New York?

The All-Star Game of the 99-00 season was held at the Oakland Arena in Oakland, California.

The Oakland Arena was later known as the Oracle Arena, and in 06 they signed a 10-year contract with Oracle and changed its name to Oracle.

The All-Star Game was held at their home stadium, and the Bay Area fans were very happy, but the fly in the ointment was that the Golden State Warriors were so bad that no one was selected as an All-Star, and Warriors fans could only watch the star players of other teams play.

This All-Star Game is the same as last season, there is no show on Friday, it is Saturday and Sunday. February 12 is Saturday, a two-ball game, a three-point contest, a slam dunk contest, and a rookie game, and on Sunday, February 13, an All-Star Game will be held.

Because of his league-leading three-point shooting percentage, Li Wei received an invitation to the three-point contest, but he did not participate in another event, a two-ball game.

As mentioned earlier, the 2-ball game NBA is a game specially designed to promote the NBA, a man and a woman, an NBA star and an NBA star team up together, and shoot the basketball.

In '02, in order to enhance the watchability of the game, they no longer compared to shooting, but joined retired NBA stars and celebrities, playing 3-on-3 halves, and in '04, the game returned to shooting, and the new game is called the Shooting Star Game.

At the last Madison Garden All-Star Game, the players who represented New York were Houston and Rebecca Lobo, but Rebecca Lobo was now sold by the Liberty team, so they sent the team's rising star Becky Harmon to the game.

On the men's team's side, Li Wei originally wanted to send Alan Houston, but Harmon begged Li Wei to compete with Li Wei.

Li Wei pondered, anyway, it was an entertainment program, and it was not a big deal to participate in the competition.

The specific rules of the 2-ball game are as follows: the organizer draws 7 areas on the court, from near to far, male and female athletes take turns to shoot, and they can shoot in any area, but the score is different for different positions, from near to far, from 2 points to 8 points.

If a team scores in all 7 zones, they will receive 10 bonus points, but if any team does not shoot at every point, then 10 penalty points will be deducted.

Li Wei and Harmon were the third to play, and after the game, everyone found that Li Wei was standing at the point where the baseline was 7 points, and he shot 7 points in the bottom corner!

Harmon is standing on the other side of the 4-point point, specializing in grabbing rebounds and shooting 4-pointers from close range, or 2-pointers under the basket!

"Hahaha!" The audience burst into laughter.

The strategy of the New York team is obviously not to care about being deducted 10 points, and to find two points to shoot!

In the last competition, the Phoenix team also adopted this strategy, and the final score was 59 points, but because they did not shoot in all positions, they were deducted 10 points, leaving only 49 points!

Houston and Utah scored 44 and 43 points respectively, but they scored at every point to earn a 10-point bonus to the final score of 54 and 53, eliminating the likes of Phoenix and advancing to the second round.

In the second round of the final, Drexler and Cynthia Cooper's Houston team won the final championship!

This year, the New York team adopted the strategy of the Phoenix team last year, the point of 8 points is in the midfield, too far, the shooting rate is too low, Li Wei and Harmon are difficult to score, it is better to keep shooting 7 points in the bottom corner, it is easier to score, and the efficiency is higher.

Li Wei's bottom corner three-pointer was accurate, but Harmon had some holes, and the New York team scored 70 points in the first round, and there were 60 points after deducting 10 points.

In the previous 2-goal competition, it was the Utah team and the Phoenix team that reached the final.

Hornacek and Utah Superstar star Natalie Williams formed the Utah team, with the elder Holly hitting seven 7-point three-pointers in the corner to score 49 points, Natalie Williams scored 26 points, the two combined for 75 points, and Kidd and Mercury star Jennifer Gillum formed the Phoenix team with 62 points, ranking second.

In the finals, it was still the Utah team that was better and won the championship!

In this life, Kidd's Phoenix team scored 62 points as in his previous life, but Hornacek played for the Knicks, and Utah could only send Stockton out. Stockton didn't play as well as the elder Ho, and the Utah team scored just 59 points.

Another team also scored 59 points, and that was Detroit with Grant Hill and Jennifer Azie!

The New York team beat Utah and Detroit by 1 point and qualified for the thrilling time!

The finals were coached by the Knicks and the Phoenix team.

Becky Harmon recovered a bit, Li Wei continued to show bravery, and the New York team scored 75 points, leaving 65 points after being deducted 10 points!

Next, Kidd and Jennifer Gillum came on, and they performed slightly worse than in the first round, scoring 61 points!

Thus, the New York team won the 2-ball tournament!

Becky Harmon excitedly threw herself into Li Wei's arms and gave Li Wei a fragrant kiss!

Li Wei hurriedly said: "Don't be like this, the camera is shooting!" ”

Harmon said, "I'm sorry, I'm so excited, I'll go to your room in the evening!" ”

Li Wei said: "No, my daughter came with me." ”

Becky Harmon said: "Then I'll wait for your daughter to sleep, and then sneak in, anyway, you live in the presidential suite, and there are a lot of rooms!" ”

Li Wei said: "Ahem, no, I want to be a good father!" ”

Becky Harmon glanced at Xie Siqi and Sylvia in the audience, looking aggrieved.

Three-point contest.

Allen Iverson participated in this three-point contest, but unfortunately only scored 10 points and was eliminated in the first round. If you think this is the worst result of this tournament, you would be wrong, Bob Sula of the Cavaliers scored just 9 points!

The Mavericks' Hubert Davis scored 14 points, and the Grizzlies' Mike Bibby and the Spurs' Terry Porter scored 15 points, all eliminated.

Rounding out the finals are the Bucks' Ray Allen with 16 points, and last year's champion Jeff Hornacek with 17 points. The top scorer in the first round was Dirk Nowitzki, a second-year German with 18 points!

In the final, the three major marksmen suddenly hit the iron collectively, Ray Allen only scored 10 points, the iron became Iverson, Nowitzki was slightly stronger, 11 points, Hornacek scored 13 points, and successfully defended the title!

became the 3-point king again, Hornacek was very happy, and Li Wei and others also walked over to celebrate with him!

NBC host Costas said: "The winner of the 2-ball contest is New York, the champion of the 3-point contest is still New York, and if they win another slam dunk contest, then all the championships will be New York!" ”

Because of the participation of some popular players, this year's All-Star Game has added a slam dunk contest.

Costas's partner Doug Collins raised his eyebrows: "The New York Knicks are participating in the slam dunk contest with Tracy McGrady, this kid is very talented, he really has a chance to win the championship!" ”

Costas said, "However, I am more optimistic about the other one!" ”

Doug Collins laughed and said, "Vince Carter, right? ”

Sophomore Vince Carter can become this year's All-Star vote king, firstly because of the good results of the Raptors, he also played an MVP-level performance, and secondly, because of his gorgeous style of play and gorgeous dunks!

Everyone is optimistic that Carter will win this year's slam dunk contest, and in the pre-game prediction vote on the ownership of the championship, Carter ranked first with an absolute advantage of 82%!
