Chapter 138: The Most Popular People

There are four teams in the Star Shooting Tournament, which are San Antonio, Los Angeles, Phoenix and the host Houston. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Although luck is more important in this kind of thing, several people in the Knicks still pretended to analyze it, believing that the defending champion team led by Marion and the Los Angeles team led by Kobe Bryant are stronger, but the host team led by McGrady is not favored.

Parker's San Antonio team looked strong, but not as sure as Los Angeles and Phoenix, and everyone else bet on Los Angeles and Phoenix, with Lehi choosing San Antonio.

San Antonio was the first to play, with Tony Parker, women's Candela Wake, and retired veteran Steve Cole finishing the race with an all-time best of 25.1 seconds, and everyone else knew that a hundred dollars would only be exchanged for a cup of popcorn.

Sure enough, the other three teams were all 40 seconds away, and there was no suspense for Lehi to win.

The second event is the Skills Challenge, which features four people from Chris Paul, Steve Nash, Dwyane Wade, and LeBron James.

Those who lost the bet before are still not convinced, the skills competition is the fourth edition, the previous three years have been point guards to win the championship, Nash is the defending champion, he and Paul are the most favored.

The least favored is James, a forward who has a lot of fun, and Wade is the kind of guy who has a chance to be possible but not as good as the two regular guards.

As in the previous game, only Lehi pressed Wade, and the others were Nash and Paul, but Nash and Paul were eliminated in the qualifiers, and Marbury and others all looked like dogs, and turned to support James, and James won and they were tied, but the result still didn't make them get their wish.

"Go on, go on." The enthusiasm of several people was aroused, and they had to win once.

"Now we're going to give our full support to our teammates, and that's the end of the fun...... Okay, I'll have a late night snack and let you eat back. Lehi smiled happily.

In addition to Quentin Richardson, the three-point contest also features Jason Terry, Dirk Nowitzki, Ray Allen, Chauncey Billups and Gilbert Arenas.

After the start of the game, Quentin Richardson performed as if he was in this season's form, far worse than last season, directly eliminated in the qualifiers with the lowest score, and finally crowned in the final by the big man Dirk Nowitzki, becoming the second foreign three-point champion in the history of the three-point contest.

Finally, it was the turn of the second day's slam dunk contest, and Nate Robinson faced three opponents, Andre Iguodala, who just won the MVP in the rookie game, Hawks dunk Josh Smith, and Lehi's college teammate Hakeem Varik.

As the best person in the Knicks' jump, Nate Robinson can be described as full of confidence this time.

Because he is only 1.75 meters tall, he has not yet played and he has earned enough eyeballs, he smashed the ball to the ground after the first dribble a few steps, and then caught the ball with both hands, and dunked with both hands after turning 180 degrees, and won a full house.

He didn't have much suspense to reach the final with Iguodala, and the two performed even more brilliantly in the final, both scoring a perfect score.

Igouodala is to run and jump after throwing an air balloon at the free throw line, catch the ball with his left hand in the air and switch the ball to his right hand behind his back to complete the dunk, while Nate Robinson is to let his idol, the 1986 dunk king "Little Potato" Webber, who is only 1.7 meters tall, let Webber, who wore the championship jersey that year, stand under the basket and hit the ground to pass, Robinson helps to catch the ball in the air after jumping, and crosses the standing Webb to complete the dunk.

The two were tied after two dunks in the finals, and in the end, Nate Robinson narrowly beat Iguodala by one point in overtime, which made the Knicks excited for a long time.

After the game, Li Hai did not break his promise, and took a group of people to the sea for a meal, this kind of thing that can increase the intimacy of teammates without paying for it himself, it would be a fool not to do it.

On the third day, the highlight of this all-star finally began, the East and West All-Star showdown.

In this home game, Yao Ming undoubtedly won the vote king, with a total of six players in the east and west with more than two million votes, representing super popularity, while the other host ball McGrady did not enjoy this treatment, another popular player in the west is Kobe, and the other four popular players are all from the East, Lehi, James, Iverson and O'Neal.

The fans have chosen the starters in the East, Allen Iverson, Stephen Marbury, LeBron James, Lehi and Shaquille O'Neal, and the bench players are Dwyane Wade, Vince Carter, Chris Bosh, Richard Hamilton, Chauncey Billups, Gilbert Arenas and Ben Wallace, with Arenas replacing O'Neal Jr. who is injured and cannot play, and the head coach is Pistons coach Philip Sanders.

The West starters are Steve Nash, Kobe Bryant, Tracy McGrady, Tim Duncan and Yao Ming, the benches are Sean Marion, Elton Brand, Dirk Nowitzki, Tony Parker, Ray Allen, Kevin Garnett and Pau Gasol, and the head coach is Mavericks coach Avery Johnson.

When it came time to prepare, the stars let go of their usual grievances and laughed together.

James took the initiative to find Lehi and said with a smile: "Brother, as a senior in the All-Star Game, I solemnly tell you that Tim Duncan in the West will be yours in a while, and I believe you can overturn him." ”

The starting lineup in the West is not reasonable, there is no power forward at all, and one of the two of them always has to play against Duncan, and James did not hesitate to hand over this errand to Lehi, who played the All-Star Game for the first time.

It's no problem to play power forward Lehi, but it's hard to say about Duncan, but fortunately, it's only an All-Star, and it feels like the power of the top interior line is also good, maybe there will be misalignment in the official game in the future, and it's always good to have more experience.

After the start of the game, the East got the opportunity to take the lead in attacking, James shot the first shot, and the West was completed by Yao Ming, one of the hosts.

In the first quarter of the game, both sides were playing, and Lehi was really a little uncomfortable, after receiving the ball specially passed to him by Marbury, Lehi also rushed to the basket and came to a tomahawk split, which caused O'Neal's expression to be exaggerated and funny.

The first quarter of the game was relatively peaceful, and the east and west sides also fought to a 28-28 draw.

In the second quarter, the Western star consciously created opportunities for McGrady, just like the first-year team gave the host player Hyde a chance during the rookie game, but Hyde was not strong enough, but McGrady had this strength.

Seeing that the score gap had widened, Lehi, who had returned to the game, put the performance behind him and became serious. (To be continued.) )
