The Rockets lost to the Hawks on the road, although they lost, but this game is not unacceptable, after all, the bus plays for the Hawks, and there is always a bit of incense. However, in the drinking battle after the game, these stinky boys were merciful and drank until they were all killed.

And the bus and Da Yao are the only two who did not get sick, the bus after these basically knocked down, dragged Da Yao back to his home, a very quiet villa, the bus smiled and said: "I know that you kid wants to eat meat skewers, before you came, I have fed all kinds of meat skewers, charcoal is also ready, I asked my assistant to prepare for us, but it is a pity that we didn't come, otherwise our brother and sister have a good drink, to be honest, those foreign wine or something, too unpleasant, not as enjoyable as our background two pots." ”

Da Yao also smiled when he heard it, and he was very moved in his heart, his big brother really looks like a big brother, he can roughly be said to be his buddy, and the Mongolian man in front of him, who has worked hard in the NBA for several years, can be called his big brother.

I heard Da Yao say: "Pug, you just spare me, you let me order beer and red wine or something, and you think too highly of me if you go directly to the second pot." ”

The bus raised his hand and pointed at Da Yao and said, "I know that you Shanghai men can't drink, I have prepared black plum wine and rice wine, you can drink less, but you can't stop drinking." ”

Seeing that the bus was ready, Da Yao could only shake his head and smile bitterly: "Okay, Pug, I can't drink it today, but declare in advance, if you drink too much, you will sleep in the place you are responsible for." ”

The bus laughed and said: "Today, it's here for me, although the house is not very big, but it's definitely enough for you, okay, I haven't eaten serious Chinese things for a long time, and many things today are my friends in the country to get it, absolutely good." ”

After speaking, he picked up Da Yao and walked to the backyard, there is a small pavilion in the backyard, and there is a swimming pool, but now in winter, it is completely useless, plus the surrounding lawn of about 200 square meters, it is really a very comfortable nest.

Da Yao looked at it and said enviously: "Pug, this place is good, very quiet." ”

The bus smiled and said a little proudly: "Yes, when I bought this place, I liked the environment here, and everything I did well in the property in the community, so I chose this place." ”

Da Yao continued: "You still have a choice, I still sit in the apartment provided by the club, living with my parents." ”

The bus patted Da Yao lightly and said: "Okay, boy, your future is brighter than mine, you are the champion, although I am known as the first person to land in the NBA, but in terms of influence, you are much stronger than me, and the future is brighter than mine, you must know that the future of the Rockets is the main players are you and Kevin, Big Ben will become your super substitute, when Hakim retires, Mark Jr. and the new Mohammed will become your spare tire." The boss's vision is really too far-sighted, and from now on lay the foundation for the future of your people. ”

Looking at the somewhat embarrassed bus, Da Yao hurriedly changed the topic and said, "Pug, I've had a lot of foreign wine with those drunkards for half a night, let's get something to eat." ”

The bus didn't say anything else, but walked into the small pavilion and saw that the assistant he had brought from China had already grilled a lot of meat skewers and was waiting there.

Da Yao sat on the stool politely, grabbed the meat skewers and began to stroke, the familiar taste echoed between the teeth, a feeling of being in his hometown came to his face, Da Yao said with some feelings: "Pug, the taste is really authentic, I feel homesick when I take a bite, I remember that there is a small barbecue spot not far from my home, the shop is not big, but the taste is excellent, when I was in the youth team, I had no money, so I could only go home every week, buy 10 yuan with my own allowance, and then take it home to eat, Later, when I joined the club and the national team, I had more money in my hands, and when I was on vacation, I went there with a few little brothers from our Shanghai youth team to have some barbecue and drink some beer secretly, which felt very good, but now I am in the United States in a blink of an eye. ”

The bus also said with some emotion: "When you and I were 20 years old, I was brought out of the country by the boss, it took a lot of effort at that time, and the General Administration of Sports at that time was alarmed, it is said that a very high leader said to the Basketball Association at that time, my affairs have to be done specially, I just came out of the Yanjing team, I remember when I first arrived in the United States, I was really unfamiliar with life at that time, and it was difficult to add a language barrier, but the boss did not give up on me at that time, and found a translator for me, Find a personal trainer, develop a special training plan for me, supervise me to complete it every day, recruit a second-level basketball league team to let me exercise to play, it took me more than a whole year to integrate into the American basketball environment, 96 Olympic Games, I can have such a high competitive state, after 96 years, I became a player on the Rockets, at that time my salary was not very high, you must know that I was an undrafted player after all, at that time the boss arranged for me agent, And then in order to contact sponsors in the country, I know which ones are also to expand the influence of the rockets. But the biggest beneficiary became me, at that time I was worth in China, you may also be very clear, so at that time I was determined to end the rocket, as long as the rocket still wants me, I stay in the rocket, this can be said to be my final idea, but what I didn't expect is that after the rise of your kid, the boss is focused on you, you are much stronger than me, your height, your skills, your feel, your talent, but I can't compare, as many people say, in the future I can't compare roughly, And it's probably not as good as you, you may be the most successful of China's three major center forwards in the future, and I believe in that very much now. ”

After speaking, I picked up a glass of wine about a tael or so, and dried it down in one sip.

After drinking, the bus let out a breath and said very heroically: "When I left the rocket, the boss said to me, your bus is the eagle on the grassland, the eagle should not be in love with home, the eagle will fight in the sky, soar thousands of miles, you go, but the rocket will always be your home, when you can't fly the day, you will come back, the rocket will always open the door to you." Do you know, Da Yao, when I heard this, I knew that I didn't care about it in the future, my heart was forever left in the rocket. ”

Da Yao listened silently on the side, silently listening to the first person in the Chinese NBA, telling the vicissitudes of his NBA, in the mouths of his compatriots, he understood the rocket better, and also strengthened his belief in staying in the rocket, the two just didn't listen, drinking, eating, when the two rested, it was already 2:30 in the morning.

Not to mention the bus, Da Yao has been a rocket player in Atlanta drunk a daz, at this time Tiger is leading his wife and family to fly directly to Oakland, on the plane Tiger Mom is constantly torturing Tiger, Tiger Mom is constantly chattering: "What kind of plane, it's not very far to Oakland, it's good to be a train, too much air flying is not good for children." ”

Tiger's father looked at the book seriously, no matter what else he did, he could only express his spiritual support to Tiger with his eyes in an instant, and Clark was also playing with his notebook with a solemn expression, as if there was some important archaeological information in the notebook.

However, judging from the gloating smile on the corner of his mouth, his spirit was definitely not on the notebook, but on watching his mother, how to rest his brother, Trill and Amy were whispering on the side, and they didn't care about Tiger. In this way, Tiger alone was enduring his own mother's intensive attacks on Germany and the already planned bombardment by the Allies during World War II.

Tiger is really helpless at this time, there is no way, bear with it. However, the speed of the plane was very fast, and it reached the sky above the airport in Auckland in a short time.

After getting off the plane, the family made a beeline for their pre-booked hotel in the local offices of a business consortium controlled by Tiger in Auckland.

After settling in, Tiger began to connect with many players from the Rockets, and this year's Rockets were three All-Star selections, Garnett, and Ray? Arun and Bodi Loga, they should be coming to Auckland soon, too.

As one of the best and most beautiful natural deep-water ports in the United States, Oakland is very beautiful, and I don't know how many people are fascinated by the majestic bridge.

I knew on the phone that the Rocket's stinky boys had a hangover in Atlanta, as long as the bus and Da Yao ran away. However, the two did not escape the fate of getting drunk, and Da Yao's votes this year are also quite high, because the domestic Internet has just started, Da Yao's all-star vote has not yet been perverted to the extent of later generations.

When talking to Lao Tang on the phone, listening to Lao Tang's complaints, Tiger could only smile bitterly, there is no way to be the All-Star Game right away, it is time to have fun, and now to reprimand the players can only backfire, in fact, Lao Tang also understands this truth, that is, when he is fine, he spit out to Tiger and vent his inner depression.

The next day, when Tiger led Amy on a tour of Oakland, the Rockets players also arrived, and their families also came, and Olajuwon even led a large family to Oakland.

The All-Star Game is actually like a temple fair in China, everyone is happy and venting, and everyone's task at this moment is to play.

The roster of the East and West Divisions of this All-Star Game has long been out, and the Western Stars team has Garnett, Duncan, O'Neal, Kobe, Kidd, Payton, Webb, and Rashid? Wallace, Finley, Malone, Ray? Arun and Bodi Loga.

Eastern Conference has Carter, Hill, Mourning, Eddie? Jones, Iverson, Allan? Houston, Glenn? Robinson, Mutombo, Dale? Davis, Starhouse House, Reggie? Miller and Kassel.

It can be described as star-studded, and at the scene of the game, Clark participated in the All-Star Weekend for the first time, looking at this strangeness, he wanted to try everything.

At the beginning of the game, the 18,325 fans in the Oakland Arena were also very excited, such a grand event held in Auckland, which is really a big festival for such a small city.

This year's All-Star Game was a great one, probably the first All-Star Game after the shutdown, and all the players were excited, with the Stars holding the lead for the first three minutes, but then the West gradually gained the upper hand and led 33-29 at the end of the first quarter. The East tried to mount a comeback in the second quarter, but as a result, they were still trailing at halftime, 59-64. With 2:8 left in the third quarter, the East finally tied the score at 91. However, Chris Webb (chriswww.xstxt.orgvp) Duncan and O'Neal combined for 46 points and 23 rebounds in the West. This is the third time in the history of the All-Star Game that a player has shared MVP honors. The other two were Bobpettit and Elgin Baylo in the 1959 All-Star Game and John Stockton and Karlmlone in the 1993 All-Star Game.

The Western Stars outscored the Eastern Stars 137-126, with Shaquilleoneal and Tim Duncan co-elected as the tournament's MVPs. Alleniverson scored a game-high 26 points.

And the most exciting project of this time is the slam dunk contest, when Carter, Maddie, Francis, Ricky? Davis, Starhouse House, Larry? Hughes, when he appeared on the court, Tiger knew that Carter's godhood dunk had begun.

This year's slam dunk game was not tarnished by the absence of Kobe, the "future emperor" of the slam dunk contest. On the contrary, it can be said to be the most memorable competition since 88. Francis, McGrady, Stackhouse and Ricky Davis and many other first-class dunks participated. Their performances are like several bright rays of light in the new century, sweeping away the depression of the 90s. And the brightest and most dazzling one of these lights is undoubtedly the best rookie in 98-99, graduated from the prestigious North Carolina school, and came from the Raptors' "Canadian Flyer" Vince Carter in the first round of the game, Carter showed people his amazing jumping ability and extraordinary dunk skills. He started with the first dunk from the left side, and took off with both feet to hit a 360-degree windmill dunk that turned around and rounded, as if the essence of Wilkins and Kenny Walker was completely concentrated on this dunk. 50 out of 50 points. The atmosphere of the whole stadium has never been like this competition, which has been fully entered at the beginning.

And the game wasn't Carter's one-man show. This is also the highlight of this year's game, the 1.91-meter-tall "Sky King" Francis can also make an explosive dunk action with super bounce height. McGrady, Carter's cousin, who is also from the Raptors, also doesn't want to let his cousin shine alone. He also performed a very difficult throw-and-reflexive dunk

Here's Carter's final dunk from the first round, and he's already sure to make it to the final. But he will continue to stimulate the audience. I saw him whisper to McGrady for a moment, ran from the backcourt, and just right to catch the latter's floor rebound jump and take off, stopped in the air, and then the ball passed through the crotch and changed hands, and finally dunked the ball in heavily. The audience was boiling, and the NBA players and judges watching the game on the sidelines were all dumbfounded. At this time, the audience on the stage used 12 10-point cards to form a row, and played 1 and then 12 zeros. Indeed, this classic moment is no longer a simple 50 points can express, Carter entered the final with a total score of 100 points, and just as Carter was completing this action, Tiger couldn't help but say to his wife Amy: "Wife, come and see UFO." ”

Many reporters on the side remembered this sentence deeply, and for a while Tiger once again became a popular person sought after by the news media.

And McGrady was not to be outdone, he advanced with a total of 99 points, Francis finished third with 95 points, and Carter, who entered the final with 95 points, was still surprising, and he was a frontcourt run-up with two feet in the air. Suddenly, he violently stuffed his entire forearm into the hoop and scored a perfect score again. At this point, competitors are already weak. Francis struggled with his height to make more upside, and while the final throw-and-reflex dunk was still impressive, it wasn't enough to stop Carter. And McGrady was no longer in the preliminaries, and his last-ditch dunk left him in third, with Carter's title almost in hand. But he also intends to challenge history. I saw him dribble the ball all over the court, take off with both feet after stepping over the free throw line, and glide with both hands for a long time to dunk the ball into the frame

Carter interprets this title so perfectly. In the years to come, we can still cherish the first slam dunk contest of the new century in our memories as it did in '88

2000 Slam Dunk Contest Final Standings:

1st Place: Vince Carter 2nd Place: Steve Francis 3rd Place: Tracy McGrady 4th Place: Ricky Davis 5th Place: Jerry Starkhouse 6th Place: Larry Hughes Watching the end of the noisy All-Star Game, Tiger led his wife and family to complete the six-day journey to Oakland, Tiger and Amy had a good tour of Oakland, Tiger's parents lived the same two-person world, and Clark could only be grabbed by Trier as a mobile warehouse.

When he watched Clark return to the hotel with large and small hanging bags on his body every day, Tiger felt a burst of amusement, and he secretly slandered in his heart: Let your kid see my jokes, Lao Tzu gave Trill a credit card with a face value of $1 million, it's strange if he can't bear to buy things, my companion Amy, you kid will be unlucky with Trill, who let Trill's boyfriend go to Europe with a subject during this time, hehe, let me laugh at me, I can't kill you if I play with the sample.

Tiger, who came here first, was a burst of pride.

However, a subsequent piece of news left Tiger unhappy, as Bodiloga and Saullius were ready to tell him where they were going after the end of the season.
