In a relaxed and happy atmosphere, the starting forces of the East and West Star Team played very harmoniously, the defensive intensity of both sides was not high, Chamberlain and Howard, the two defensive beasts, did not take it seriously, the two of them counted on their teammates to pass the ball to an air relay and the like, but the guards were red-eyed, and they didn't care about them at all, as for Yi Jianlian, he didn't even have a chance to get the ball.

In fact, strictly speaking, it was not the two sides that killed the red eye, but the eastern side killed the red eye, the western troops failed to hit, and the eastern troops quickly took a 7-0 lead.

Fortunately, Duncan's left jumper hit opened a pot for the Western Army, and it was clear that this three-center tactic in the West was not reasonable, Phil Jackson called a timeout, he replaced Yao Ming off the court, replaced him with Paul, Kobe moved to the small forward position, Iverson specialized in playing point guard, and Chamberlain went to play center.

Eastern Brown also replaced Yi Jianlian, and Garnett finally had a chance to play.

Seeing this scene, the fans were very unhappy, many Phoenix local fans chanted 'we want to see the little bully', this year's Suns are more sad, in previous years, they at least two players Nash and Xiaosi can be All-Stars, and occasionally Marion can also enter the All-Star if they are lucky, so they have three people who can play this prosperous game.

As a result, it was their turn to host the All-Star this year, Nash, the iron-clad star, was not selected, the Suns' record this season was too bad, and Nash was hacked as the big brother of the team, if it weren't for the center, there was no one, O'Neal would not be able to enter the All-Star, Nash's competitors were too strong, Kobe Bryant and Iverson were not as popular as him, and the All-Star bench was voted by thirty head coaches, in the eyes of the referees, the current Nash could not compare with this season's assist king Billups, Not to mention compared to Paul, the rookie king.

As soon as Paul came out of the game, he made a dashing breakthrough, he moved left and right like a spirit fox, Wade was thrown by him and couldn't even see the shadow, but he didn't go to the basket but passed the ball to Kobe, Kobe Bryant rushed into the basket quickly and waved his hand is a violent dunk.

Chamberlain ran sideways, Paul is a good old man's temper, and when the two staggered, he comforted Chamberlain and said, "I'll pass you the next ball." ”

Hearing Paul's comforting words, Chamberlain couldn't cry or laugh, he said angrily: "I don't care, this time I'm here to play soy sauce, hey," suddenly his eyes lit up, looking at the number above Paul's ball, he smiled, "Why did you change the number of the jersey?" I remember you weren't number 3? ”

Paul grimaced at Iverson, who was smirking at the No. 3 All-Star in the West.

This is a more common thing in the All-Star game, the NBA is the same as China, the stars are very superstitious, generally speaking, they choose the same number, for example, the organization guard likes to choose the No. 3, such as Iverson, Wade, Paul, Marbury, Francis is at the peak of the number, the scoring guard likes the No. 1, Maddy, the new champion Rose, the Warriors lead the big brother Jackson and the former penny Hardaway.

It usually doesn't matter, but when it comes to the All-Star, it's not easy for these players to get together, so that the jersey number has become a scarce resource, at this time, the status of the guò rivers and lakes can only determine the ownership of the number, and the unknown can only find another good name, although Paul is now famous, but compared to Iverson, he is undoubtedly a junior.

In fact, Paul is not bad, the worst in NBA history should be Carl Malone, Malone is good enough, the dignified Jazz big brother, the second person on the scoring list, his number is 32, and there is a 32 on the Western All-Star team, that is, Magic Johnson.

No matter how famous Malone is, he can't compare to the magician, who led the NBA trend in the eighties and nineties, was a key figure in the rise of the NBA, and once became a symbol of the NBA. In this way, Malone can only search everywhere for numbers that others don't want, from high school team numbers, college team numbers, Olympic numbers to the number of All-Star participations, wife's bust, children's birthdays, pet weights, etc.!

Last season, fortunately, General Arenas was injured and failed to participate in the All-Star, otherwise Chamberlain would have to change the number, although the number 0 is relatively rare, but those who dare to choose this number are all ruthless.

The East has the advantage, these people play more easily, James and Howard came to cooperate, and the Monster went straight to the basket and came to Duncan with a violent dunk. Duncan was also unlucky, not because he was brave and fearless to defend, but because he chased Garnett to slip to the bottom line, and he didn't dodge being deducted miserably for a while.

Wade, James, Howard and Garnett, the four of them are all extremely energetic, taking turns to stage a dunk battle, and Chamberlain is smiling and does not defend, at most interferes. Last season, he offended a lot of people in order to help Billups All-Star MVP, and this time he learned to be obedient, and the newcomer must have the consciousness of the newcomer, and he will play with it for a while.

Then James hit a three-point shot from the right side, Paul stole Wade's pass to the ground and made a quick layup, James hit the basket again to dunk, Chamberlain happened to be there against Howard, he saw that the little emperor was so arrogant and gave him a big hat without saying a word, but the poor little emperor didn't expect Chamberlain, who had not been defending, to suddenly break out, he thought that this kid had opened his mind today, how do you know that people are waiting to give him a ruthless.

Iverson and Chamberlain have partnered for half a season and are very familiar with his style of play, as soon as he saw him jumping at the little emperor, he followed from behind, the ball flew out and was just received by him, Iverson held the ball and bowed his head to attack, Wade quickly organized the defense, Iverson did not take it too seriously, and when he saw Kobe Bryant following up from behind, he chose to pass the ball, so that Kobe Bryant came to a glide heavy dunk.

Halfway through the first quarter, the West Army trailed the East 10-20 and Phil Jackson called a timeout for substitutions again, this time with Chamberlain and Duncan, and O'Neal and Smalls on the pitch.

When O'Neal came on the court, Kobe Bryant suddenly came over and raised his right arm to him, and the shark did not hesitate to raise his right arm, and the hands of the two were tightly clasped together.

The Zen master smiled and looked at this scene, Kobe and O'Neal didn't just pretend, after the two played together, they got together to discuss tactics, Phil Jackson sighed in his heart, if these two guys didn't have such a strong power mind, but worked together with one mind, how good it would be.

If O'Neal and Kobe Bryant stay close, the OK combination is guaranteed to win five consecutive championships.

Chamberlain applauded along with the others, and after he sat down, Billups asked curiously, "It's not like you, man, 4 rebounds, 1 block, 0 points, 0 assists, Z, did you just fall asleep on the court?" ”

Chamberlain was proud, he patted his chest and said, "Open your dog's eyes, Uncle Ben is now an all-star old bird!" It's not my character to be aggressive, this is an all-star, everyone has fun, who wins the MVP? Anyway, even if I win the MVP, it won't be a record. ”

Big O Robertson, Big Shuai Zhang Erwan, and Baylor, these three fierce people won the All-Star MVP in their rookie season, and compared with these ancient gods, it is purely looking for death.

"But you should also fight for it, don't leave regrets for yourself, all-star regrets, tsk, how regretful it will be in the future." Iverson also said the same, and Chamberlain was just about to speak, when AI added, "I know you want to say that you are very young and have a chance, and KG and I thought the same way when we were young, but we haven't won the championship until now, so if you have a dream, then don't care about any damn humility, the NBA enforces the rules of the jungle, the law of the jungle!" ”

At this time, a voice also came from behind him: "Yes, Z, don't let yourself be left with regrets." ”

Chamberlain looked back and saw Nash, dressed in a modest suit, smiling at him.

As the host and Phoenix's city hero, it is a pity that Nash was not selected as an All-Star, O'Neal and Jr. are both All-Stars, and the latter almost started, as the real core and boss of the Suns, Nash should not be selected as an All-Star, in addition, Durant's loss is also embarrassing, if he is in the East, he will definitely be an All-Star and a starter, look at what their guards are, Joe Johnson, Devin Harris, except for Wade's real materials, the others are indiscriminate copycats.

That's it, Nash really deserves to be an All-Star, after all, this is likely to be the only time in his career that he has been an All-Star in Phoenix, and his defeat is like the Formula 1 competition held in Italy and Ferrari did not participate, as if Maradona was absent from the World Cup in Argentina, and it was like the AV competition held in Tokyo, where Taka Kato and Sora Aoi failed to participate.

However, Nash's regret is nothing, compared to the Flyer, his failure to be selected is better, and wouldn't it be more embarrassing if he was selected and didn't get the MVP? The Flyers are invincible in the NBA, and he is an All-Star regular, but there are two major regrets in the All-Star Game that he still can't let go, the first is that in the 1997 All-Star Game, the Emperor played a unique triple-double record of 14 points, 11 rebounds, 11 assists in NBA history, but the league awarded the MVP to Glen Rice, on the grounds that the latter scored the highest score - 26 points, and he was also an All-Star substitute.

Of course, this is not a long-standing regret, after all, Wilt Chamberlain had 42 points and 24 rebounds in 1962, and Magic Johnson had 15 points, 9 rebounds and 22 assists in 1984, but neither of them won the MVP at that time.

What really makes the Flyer still sigh is the 2003 All-Star Game, which is also the All-Star Game that fans know, that is the last All-Star Game of the Flyer's career, thinking about the grand occasion of the year, everyone thinks that it is the special game of the Flyer, and the generation of singer Maria Carey came to sing a song "HERO" for Jordan in halftime, although Jordan did not qualify for the starter before the game, Iverson Maddie actively asked to give up the starter to the Emperor, In the end, the Great replaced Carter as the starter.

In that game, regardless of whether it was an old star or a new star, everyone desperately passed the ball to him and made him score, and Isaiah Thomas, who was the head coach of the Western Conference All-Star at the time, also designed a strategy specifically for Jordan. That year's All-Star MVP trophy was different, the league had never made a supreme Baoding-style trophy, and people who didn't know the truth from the outside thought that Stern sent someone to steal the Chinese national treasure Simu Wuding.

What happened later is clear to everyone, the league underestimated Kobe Bryant's ruthlessness, and overestimated the intelligence of the referee and Jermaine O'Neal, and the three joined forces to interpret Jordan's perfect curtain call into a bloody drama that Tieling TV disdained to film. In the end, Garnett won the MVP award, and the wolf king was stunned at the time, and he was embarrassed to make a speech when he went up to receive the award, and he didn't have the face to take the MVP trophy - the word 'Michael-Jordan' had been engraved on the base of the trophy!

It is said that at the last moment, Stern didn't have time to erase the engraved Jordan's name, he took a large band-aid from the medicine box of the medical team, pasted it directly on the base and handed it to Garnett, and then Garnett lifted the trophy, and someone found that the golden trophy base was white and seemed to be the girl who came to the eldest aunt, that is, Stern's masterpiece.

By the way, that All-Star Game was on February 17, 2003, and Michael Jordan was born on February 17, 1963. It must be said that even God wanted to see the Emperor take the MVP that day!
