O'Neal bodes well for the All-Stars in the West, as his first Shaq Cup wrist wrestling tournament was won by the All-Stars in the West, not only slaughtering the local tycoons in the East, but also taking a small lead in momentum.

All-Star appearances vary from year to year, with top designers designing a variety of appearances for the most dazzling stage.

This year's Phoenix All-Star Weekend Organizing Committee invited the famous masquerade dance troupe to serve as the biggest foil before the All-Star debut. And O'Neal is very active, I don't know where to get a mask, then he obviously has other arrangements, under everyone's constant questioning, O'Neill had to spit out the truth, it turns out that he has prepared a dance with the Kamen Dance Troupe, which will be his alternative way of appearance.

Everyone admired O'Neal's whimsy to the extreme, and Phoenix fans were lucky enough to have the best time of O'Neal's career.

When the lights came on, the DJ on the scene began to introduce the east and west coaches who had already stood on the stage. First up is the East, head coach from the Cavaliers, Mike Brown. Then there's the West, head coach from the Lakers, Phil Jackson.

Immediately afterward, the masquerade troupe ran out of the backstage, and to the dynamic music, the masquerade performed their best hip-hop performance. Basketball and hip-hop are both street-friendly sports, and those who love basketball also love hip-hop, and the moving and rhythmic performance of the Masquerade Dance Troupe immediately caused the biggest cheers of the evening so far. The audience applauded and whistled vigorously.

The masquerade troupe's performance ended in time. Before the audience could remember, the boys of the masquerade ran off the stage, and then the slightly bright lights lit up the stage. A group of beautiful female players wearing short bandeau tops and hot miniskirts ran out of the backcourt, they generously showed their white thighs to the audience, and shook the colored balls made of cellophane strips in their hands vigorously, which attracted a lot of applause from the audience.

According to the pre-game arrangement, the DJ on the scene began to introduce the all-star players who appeared later.

First is the Cavaliers' Mo Williams, who was praised by the media as follows: His arrival has strengthened the quality of the unreliable shooters around James, and the Cavaliers are now able to achieve a league-best record of 40-11. "Don't pass it on" is indispensable. He trotted over excitedly, and he spread his hands and waved to the audience. The audience immediately responded with a burst of cheers.

Then came Parker's appearance, Harris's appearance, and so on. In order, the East and West alternate All-Stars are next to each other.

By the time the thirteen substitute All-Star appearances were over, a door designed at the front of the stage slowly opened, with the smoke sprayed. One wears an all-star jacket at West No. 32. A tall man like a demon god wearing a strange white mask walked out of the gate with domineering shark steps. Surrounded by the newly finished masquerade troupe, they circled the "big shark" like the stars holding the moon.

"Now, let's welcome our favorite, ever-mighty and domineering, super center from Phoenix - Shaq O'Neill~~"

The DJ fell. The scene was like an explosion, and the cheers of the mountains and tsunamis rang out. Zheng Ke in the background was taken aback.

"I didn't expect Shaq to become the darling of Phoenix fans after just over a year." Zheng Ke was surprised.

Yao Ming glanced at Zheng Ke angrily and said, "Are you embarrassed to talk about him?" You see you've only been in the NBA for two years, and now you're about to become the most popular player in the NBA, so obviously you're even better! ”

"Hey, hey!" Zheng Ke laughed twice and did not speak again.

"What do you say?" Although Bryant often starts summer trips to China, he still doesn't know much about Chinese, and he didn't understand a word of the Chinese that Yao Ming and Zheng Ke just used to communicate there.

"It's nothing, Shaq is so good, he's such an interesting person." Zheng Ke said with a smile.

Kobe's face changed, and then he barely squeezed out a smile, patted Zheng Ke's shoulder, and did not speak. Zheng Ke tilted his head, looked at Peter Pan in surprise, and exchanged glances with Yao Ming, revealing a puzzled expression. Yao Ming couldn't cry or laugh, slapped his forehead, and pretended not to know this guy.

O'Neal was happy and walked off the stage with applause from the audience, leaving the ten All-Star starters standing on the stage.

First introduced the Eastern All-Stars from afar, Iverson, Wade, James, Garnett and Howard have performed, James was not to be outdone and showed a hip-hop dance, which also won a lot of applause.

"Next, let's welcome the six-foot-eight small forward from Minnesota, Zheng ~~Ke~~~" DJ finally introduced Zheng Ke.

Zheng Ke stretched out his right hand and waved his hand simply, which also caused a warm applause, and even mixed with the screams of many girls, which made Zheng Ke quite useful, and thought in his heart: It seems that he is also a hero for a while, and he can't play the ball one day, and he has to be an actor.

Zheng Ke was later introduced to Duncan, and there was a huge boo in the American Airlines Center.

Yu Jia and Yang Yi, the two hosts of the imperial court station, were immediately happy, and Yang Yi said: "No way, who let Lao Deng eliminate the Suns countless times?" He is the least persona non grata in this land. ”

After the first introductions of the two teams, they both walked off the stage, and then left the stage to the stars, dance troupes and performances invited this year.

Zheng Ke and the others walked onto the basketball court and began a simple and effective pre-game warm-up, and suddenly countless orange ball-like objects flew in the sky, Zheng Ke pressed his legs, bent over, and stretched his whole body.

More than ten minutes later, the brightest lights were turned on at the scene, illuminating the stars doing warm-up exercises on the field.

The staff found Yao Ming, as the ticket king of the 09 All-Star, he handed Yao Ming a microphone and asked Yao Ming to make a speech before the game.

Yao Ming said: "Thank you for your love for me, we will work hard to compete and dedicate a wonderful night to everyone, so that everyone can feel the joy of happiness." ”

The starters of both sides took off their training coats, hugged and shook hands ceremoniously, and then walked onto the field.

Zheng Ke checked his full set of equipment again, he wore the ZK II sneakers designed for him by Adidas today, the overall appearance is streamlined, the color is a bewitching red, and then the iconic "ZK" is engraved on the edge of the heel of the sneaker, with the white jersey of the Western All-Stars, which is particularly eye-catching.

The referee took the ball up to the center circle, held the whistle in his mouth, and looked ready to kick off the game.

Howard beat Yao Ming and grabbed the ball for the East Army.

Iverson possessed the ball past half court, and he passed to James, who then distributed it to Wade at 45 degrees to the left. Garnett ran out to make a pick-and-roll for Wade, who made a feint with the help of a pick-and-roll, and then made a jumper directly from outside the three-point line.

"Huh!"

Hit!

"Oh, the first ball of the game was shot by Wade!" The on-site commentator sent by the imperial court, Yang Jian said.

Zhang Weiping echoed at the same time: "That's right, Wade played the ball very skillfully, he first made a fake move that seemed to use Garnett to block and dismantle, and then suddenly threw a cold arrow on the outside. ”

The first ball in the West was given to Yao Ming for an inside single, facing his old rival Howard, Yao Ming accidentally shook his hand after dribbling twice, and the basketball smashed off, smashed on Yao Ming's foot, and then popped off the bottom line.

Every position of today's Eastern and Western All-Star starters is very interesting, Yao Ming vs. Howard, Duncan vs. Garnett, James vs. Zheng Ke, Kobe Bryant vs. Wade, basically the first and second places in every position, and the strength is inseparable.

James controlled the ball over half court, and after a simple breakthrough in the face of Zheng Ke, he rushed directly into the interior with the ball.

Zheng Ke actually followed, but he was suddenly blocked.

"Pick-and-roll?"

Who in this place helped James with the pick-and-roll? Zheng Ke turned his head and found that it was Duncan, and the two stared at each other for a long time, and when they came back to their senses, they found that James had hit a layup.

5 to 0.

Kobe missed a shot from beyond the three-point line, and the rebound was grabbed by Garnett.

Garnett split the ball Iverson, Iverson immediately advanced to the frontcourt, his dribble seemed to be a little shaky, Paul saw the opportunity, itched, a lunge rushed up, trying to cut off Iverson's dribble.

Unexpectedly, this was a trap set by Iverson, seeing Paul pounce on the layup, Iverson pulled his hand, his body rotated, coquettishly and gorgeously turned past Paul, and he rushed into the interior line with a smoke.

Yao Ming happened to stand in front of Iverson, ready to make up for the defense.

Dribbling to Yao Ming, who looked like a mountain, Iverson was not in a hurry, he grabbed the basketball with his right hand and made a feint to divide the ball outward, Yao Ming was unfortunately hit, and his footsteps had a pause.

Iverson took the opportunity to pull the basketball back and hit a layup with two steps with a low hand.

The fancy dribble and streetball layup won applause from the crowd and erupted in the loudest cheers at the American Airlines Center after the game began.

"This year's All-Stars seem a little different, huh?" Zhang Weiping is worthy of being a person who has studied in the United States, and he saw the difference between the all-stars on the court at a glance, and said: "I feel that so many all-star players in the east and west this year seem to be playing in real games, and they are not here to play!"
