Wang Jun is not participating in the three-point contest, and Korver has been invited, and he will not miss this opportunity to perform.

Kidd stayed in New York to spend time with his family and not join in the fun. There are two All-Star starters on the team, but he can only watch TV at home, which is shameless.

To make a night flight, Wang Jun, Carter, and Korver arrived in Denver more than four hours later, purely for the sake of quietness, without worrying about being watched by fans at the airport.

When they left the airport, they were immediately picked up by the organizer's staff and drove them to the hotel to rest.

The organizers are very well prepared, no matter what time the stars come, as long as they say the flight time, someone will be responsible for picking them up.

There are no games on Friday, giving the stars time to adjust, free to move around during the day and press conferences in the evening.

At noon, the three of them left the hotel together to taste the food of Denver and said that Wang Jun was in for a treat.

I found a private room at the Bikerkims restaurant recommended by Carter, and the three of them ordered some specials. Reindeer meat, wild boar, rattlesnakes, fried macaroni and more.

While eating, Wang Jun talked about the Star Game. "Vince, this All-Star Game, do you want to compete for MVP?"

Carter replied, "Not interested." ”

"Then you can help me, pass me more, I want to fight for MVP."

Carter is an All-Star every year, and he doesn't have that excitement anymore.

Wang Jun is different, the first time he was selected is full of freshness, and it is an honor. Every year, 24 out of 400 players can be selected, which is a symbol of strength, and he doesn't want to just play soy sauce in the main game.

"I want to compete for the scoring title in the regular season, and I want to compete for MVP in the first star game. You're strong enough to perform. Carter shook his head and sighed.

He is not optimistic about Wang Jun. I feel that it is difficult to succeed. Everyone is a star, who will give him face as a second-year newcomer. What about creating opportunities for him?

Wang Jun was very serious. "That's right, I think the more honors, the better, and the MVP of the All-Star Game is lightweight, and it's also a good opportunity to show yourself. Have you never thought of competing for personal glory? ”

Hearing him ask, Carter was a little ashamed.

Now he is 28 years old, and in his seventh season in the NBA, he has not won any personal accolades except for a slam dunk king and a rookie of the year.

He didn't even make the All-Star team for a while. Maddie, who was originally his younger brother, also had two scoring titles, two for a while.

Carter suddenly felt that he had wasted his youth, he really didn't want to compete for honor like Wang Jun, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to get by in the Raptors for three years, which is why the Raptors management disliked him.

As soon as Maddie left, it was said that he had the best chance to fight for personal honor, and no one grabbed the ball with him.

As a result, he was full of complaints, dissatisfied with the operation of the management, and wanted help. I don't want to lead the team independently, and I can't work this season. Even before Bowen didn't hurt him, he was only averaging a little over 20 points per game in his healthy games that season.

Hearing Wang Jun express his thoughts so frankly, Carter's first thought was not to compete with him. In the rest of the time, he tried to let the fans get to know himself anew, but decided to help Wang Jun play this star game.

People have inertia, once they get into a habit. It's hard to get serious anymore, so competitive sports always emphasize mental attributes.

As a North Carolina senior. Jordan was initially bullish on Carter, but later ridiculed him for his poor defense. Why don't you hate iron and not steel?

Seeing that he was stunned, Wang Jun smiled and asked, "Vince, can you do me a favor?" Now Iverson's scoring charts are ahead of me, and I don't want to watch him perform in the All-Star Game. ”

"Okay, I'll give you more passes." Carter replied.

"Thank you."

Wang Jun knows that if James is an organizational striker, he will definitely pass the ball to himself, and he doesn't need to say much. If Carter is dealt with again, even if Iverson is a point guard, it will be difficult for the ball to get back into his hands when he passes it.

The defense of the star game will not be very tight, and it is estimated that the opportunity to run more on the periphery will come out.

In the evening, the stars were interviewed by reporters.

Wang Jun is surrounded by groups and is one of the stars who are most attracted to reporters. It's not that he's the most popular, but the most topical.

The other players are very careful when they speak, only Wang Jun sometimes comes to a few unexpected words, which is big news.

ABC Radio reporter Philip came and interviewed Wang Jun very actively, wanting to catch him.

Wang Jun remembered this annoying middle-aged man for a long time, but he did not refuse his visit.

Philip asked, "How did you feel about your first All-Star event?" ”

'It's great to be teammates with the stars and I'm sure it's going to be a lot of fun and everyone is at a high level.

"Do you have any goals?" Philip asked.

"MVP, just pass me the ball and I'll put it in the basket." Wang Junzhi said.

Philip was very happy, felt that Wang Jun was still too tender, and immediately went to make up the news.

Wang Jun didn't think there was anything wrong, he didn't believe that this was his last star game, even if he gave up the first place in the scoring list, he proved his scoring ability.

One day, he will become a star among stars. Since you are working in that direction, what are you afraid of when you say what is in your heart?

The next day, ABC Radio reported the news and mentioned that Wang Jun was going to compete for MVP, although he did not directly sarcastic, but the host's expression and tone were clearly laughing at him and not knowing how thick the sky was.

Chinese media also reported Xu Xuejiao's interview with Wang Jun. In the face of CCTV5 interview, Wang Jun also confessed that he wanted to win MVP.

Xu Xuejiao said: "You are so straightforward, fans may think that you are not modest enough. ”

"If I wasn't so straightforward, I would feel like I wasn't confident enough." Wang Jun smiled: "I never think it's good to be modest. ”

Xu Xuejiao got acquainted with him and directly put forward her opinion: "What if you don't win the MVP?" ”

Wang Jun thought for a while and replied: "If you don't get it, it's because the opponent is strong, I have learned something, I have no loss, and I will try to win against them in the future." ”

The Celebrity Weekend has officially begun.

Abby also came to the celebrity weekend for an interview, and the two stayed in a hotel together in the evening. Accompanied by beauties, Wang Jun's mind was not on public welfare activities at all, and he followed the time like the walking dead.

After lunch, he went to practice, and he also stayed on the sidelines to mingle and chat with James, Hinrich and others.

James said that his mind is on the regular season, saying that he wants to lead the Cavaliers to the playoffs, and he is here to relax on the star weekend, and he is willing to pass the ball to Wang Jun more in the main game.

Everyone reached a consensus on the sidelines that the protagonist of this challenge was Anthony, and everyone would not fight to create more opportunities for him.

After the start of the game in the evening, Wang Jun did not attack, did not want the ball, attracted the defense on the periphery, and was very low-key.

Defensively, he was in charge of the low post, grabbing rebounds and launching a fast break with a pass. Wade, James, and Anthony went down quickly and staged many wonderful aerial relays.

It's a pity that Anthony is not as beautiful as James, and he is still robbed of some limelight.

In just half time, the sophomore was far ahead by more than 30 points, and the opponent had no power to fight back.

The commentators all admit that it was a game of disparity, with the All-Stars beating the fringes of several teams. In the first grade, apart from two beautiful dunks from Iguodala, there were no bright spots on offense.

In the second half, James, Wang Jun, and Wade played less time, and the first year failed to recover the score, and Anthony successfully won the MVP of the challenger, scoring 31 points.

Wang Jun played 18 minutes, 6 points, 8 rebounds and 3 assists, and his performance was also good, which can be regarded as a warm-up for the main game. (To be continued.) )
