"Brother Zhuang, laugh at one, that's right"

Zhuang Fei was a little helpless in the face of the other party's camera and reluctantly showed a smile, originally he didn't like this kind of publicity campaign very much, but there was no way, as the head coach of this year's Western All-Stars, he couldn't hide from such a thing, just after participating in the ABC publicity shooting, he immediately rushed to the location of the CCTV film crew, but here in CCTV Zhuang Fei has to cooperate with Wang Zhizhi, as this year's all-star player Wang Zhizhi has been snubbed since he came to Oakland, On the contrary, his substitute O'Neal is very popular, all the guns and short guns are all around him, in fact, the All-Star is a show, here is the best test of a player's popularity and prestige, the media and reporters here are very realistic, Zhuang Fei is a head coach is okay, for the player is quite cruel, take Wang Zhizhi as an example, all 12 All-Stars in the West, more than 100 media came here to interview, but in addition to the Chinese media, there are almost no media for Wang Zhizhi's pursuit, Super-star balloons like Carter basically attract more than half of the media attention, while All-Star regulars like Fat O'Fat, Payton and Malone also attract a lot of attention and attract more than half of the remaining media, and the young players such as Kobe, Pierce, Nash, Garnett and other young players are a little embarrassed.

By the time Zhuang Fei finished all these interviews, it was almost six o'clock in the afternoon, but fortunately, Zhuang Fei didn't have anything to do on the first day of the All-Star, the first day of the All-Star was the All-Star Rookie Game, and this All-Star Rookie Game was different from the previous ones. In the past, it was divided into the Eastern and Western Leagues, but this time it was divided into one and two years of challenge mode, the Timberwolves participated in the rookie challenge players in the first year Wang Zhizhi, the second year Pierce, Mobley, this year's rookie game The first and second years are eight players, and the first-year players in addition to Wang Zhizhi also have Brand. Andre Miller, Odom, Francis. James Posey, Artest and finally Adrian Griffin, while the sophomore side has Vince Carter in addition to Pierce and Mobley. Nowitzki, Jason Williams, McBibby, Michael Olowokandi, Wallis Zebiak.

On paper, the first-graders are not the opponents of the second-year at all, whether it is Carter or Pierce or even Szebiak is better than all the players in the first-year, but the result of this game is not as simple as everyone thinks, the second-year team did not show their overwhelming advantage, the reason is that Carter and Pierce basically came up to play a soy sauce game this game, Pierce because he just played a game with the Suns a day ago. Considering the reason why he still has an All-Star Game, this game is only a little symbolic, as for Carter, the situation is actually similar to Pierce, Carter will participate in the next day's slam dunk contest and three-point contest in addition to today's rookie game, and of course, there is also the task of the All-Star Game. It can be said that he is the busiest player in the entire All-Star weekend, and it is for this reason that the gap between the first and second graders is not very large, although the advantage of the second year is not large, but it does not mean that there is no advantage, under the leadership of the host Warriors' leading player Szzebiak, the second graders finally defeated the first year team 123-118. The MVP trophy of this game was undoubtedly awarded to Szebiak, who scored the most points in the game, and Szebiak tearfully won the MVP trophy of the Rookie Challenge to the cheers of all the fans in Auckland. For Zhuang Fei, he is also very happy to see his disciple win this trophy, especially Szebiak, who has been under too much pressure recently, and Zhuang Fei also hopes that this trophy can relieve him of pressure. …,

"Coach, do you say that Paul can win the championship today" Nash looked at the six players who had stood in a row on the court with some nervousness, the Timberwolves' Paul Pierce was impressively listed, today is the second day of the All-Star, today's game in Oakland is a dunk contest, in Zhuang Fei's previous life, this year's dunk contest has always been the most memorable competition for fans, the talent of the players in this dunk contest is shocking, but because of Zhuang Fei's butterfly effect, the participants in this tournament have changed a little, but like Maddie, Carter, Frances hasn't changed, but the other three have changed, with Kobe Bryant, the winner of the last year's slam dunk contest, and Pierce of the Timberwolves and Ray Allen of the Bucks also participating in this tournament.

"Paul is all about participating," Zhuang Fei said with a smile to Nash and the other Timberwolves players who came to cheer for Pierce, who was definitely at the bottom of the list for these six people. For Zhuang Fei, although the participants in this competition have changed, it can be said that the competition is more fierce than the competition in his previous life, but in Zhuang Fei's heart, there are basically no players who can threaten Carter, even if Jordan comes to dunk, it is estimated that it will not work, as long as Carter plays normally, it is difficult for others to make a difference.

As soon as Zhuang Fei finished speaking, as the first player in this game, Pierce completed his first dunk, Pierce's dunk was a bit decent, just a two-handed back dunk cut from the right side of the 45 degrees, his dunk only scored 40 points, and the 5 judges all scored 8 points, but Zhuang Fei saw from Pierce's face that this disciple was not sorry, and he was obviously very satisfied with his performance, and after Pierce appeared was the new leader of the Raptors, Maddie, who also played back dunks this time, But it played more beautifully than Pierce, Maddie first threw the ball outside the three-point line at the top of the arc, and then went to the basket without the ball and waited for the basketball to bounce to the ground, and then caught the ball in the air with both hands behind his back, Maddie's dunk scored 45 points, and all the judges scored 9 points. The third Francis on the court was a one-arm flying dunk and Maddie was also 45 points, when the fourth player Vince Carter came on the court, all the fans in the audience stood up, and then all the judges also stood up, and finally many NBA stars watching the game on the sidelines such as Shaq O'Neal have picked up their cameras and pointed them at Carter, it is obvious that for these people, other people's dunks are not important, they are coming for Carter, as the league's first dunk player who has been recognized, Carter is here to take the throne, and he now owes only one slam dunk contest winner.

"This is crazy, isn't it" looked at the players of the Timberwolves who suddenly exploded the arena with some shock, this is not in Vancouver.

When Carter accelerated from the left side to cut the basket and then completed the 360-degree twist Thunderbolt windmill dunk, everyone in the audience opened their mouths wide, and a moment later the audience burst into warm applause, and the shout of "let'sgohome" in the commentary booth resounded throughout the United States through television. Let'sgohome, obviously it's a very apt word, to the effect that it's time to go home, and for the other contestants, it's okay to go home.

The dunk contest was a great one, but it didn't have a miracle, and the final victory was Vince Carter, who completed his ascension to the throne in Oakland, while Timberwolves player Pierce was eliminated in the first round.

"Coach, this kind of game is so cool" Pierce did not have a trace of frustration when he got off the court, but was full of excitement, this time he participated in the slam dunk contest because he wanted to compete with Carter again, and the final result ended in his fiasco, but being able to enjoy the competition with these geniuses of the same age has made the rising star very happy. …,

"Paul, cheer for Steve and Stephen" Zhuang Fei smiled and gave his disciple a hug, after the slam dunk contest is the All-Star three-point contest, this three-point contest Timberwolves have two players participating, Nash and Jackson, both of them have a three-point shooting rate of more than 40% this season, in addition to Nash and Jackson, other players also have the defending champion, one of the three elders of the Jazz Hornacek, and the other is Vince Carter, who just won the slam dunk contest, Carter's three-point shooting rate this season has also reached 40%, so he also participated in this tournament, the last one is the Warriors leader Szzczebiak who won the MVP of the All-Star Rookie Challenge yesterday, in Zhuang Fei's opinion, the best three-point shot among the five people is naturally Szczebiak, but after the first round, Szzambiak only ranked third and barely entered the finals, while Steve Nash ranked first in the preliminaries, Carter and Jackson were eliminated in the first round, and Carter only scored 5 points, This also makes the champion of the new slam dunk contest very faceless, mainly because he participated in the slam dunk contest, and now he is still in a state of excitement, so there will be problems with shooting. Szzczebiak, who finished third in the qualifiers in the final, played extremely well, scoring a game-high 23 points under the pressure of the first appearance, which also allowed him to win the championship in one fell swoop, while Nash was unusually good at 17 points and was the last of the three in the final, while Hornacek had 20 points.

After the three-point contest, Zhuang Fei and the Timberwolves players separated, because as the host, Szzambiak invited Zhuang Fei and his former Wake Forest teammates to dinner, and it was rare for the Wake Forest golden generation to get together like this.

"Hahaha, Wally's All-Star Game tomorrow, our three musketeers can work together again, and the head coach of the team is still the coach" Carter took a sip of a beer, he had been looking forward to the All-Star Game for a long time, and now that all the former Wake Forest teammates are together, he thought that such a thing would never happen.

After Carter finished speaking, Szebiak's eyes lit up, there were few things that could make him happy recently, but he was also looking forward to it, even Duncan, who had been expressionless, smiled, while Zhuang Fei smiled quietly on the side and looked at his disciples without speaking.

When Zhuang Fei and them left college, they knew that the only chance to reunite could only be on the all-star stage, and now this stage has been paved for them. (To be continued)
