Chapter 442: The Rise of the Legend and the Fall of the Legend
Today's All-Star Dinner was very interesting, especially for Zhuang Fei, there was some different fun when Jordan and Nash appeared.
Jordan's impression of Zhuang Fei is very strange now, the 40-year-old veteran who has been performing better and better so far has made Zhuang Fei feel more and more that he seems to be enjoying basketball and enjoying the thrill of competition, this god is not as struggling as Zhuang Fei saw in his previous life, in his previous life, although Jordan was also coming back in the Wizards, but his performance was extremely struggling, the team's record was also very poor, and he himself was very unhappy, but now all these things are gone.
Zhuang Fei can now feel that this great god has now reached another realm, which is also the reason why this great god was able to defeat Carter in this season's Christmas war, you must know that this great god's ability is now 91, which is too far and too far worse than Carter's 97, in terms of ability, he is almost the same as Pierce, and even a little worse than Pierce, every time Pierce meets Carter, he is completely blown up, but this great god has a different ending, whether it is experienced or other reasons, This great god now gives people the feeling that he is standing on the highest peak of the NBA and looking down on everyone's competition, sometimes provoking some competition, and then he himself is also involved in it by the way, and the current great god is very freewheeling.
It's just that this great god does what he wants, but those disciples of Zhuang Fei around him don't have the mentality like him, and after Jordan shouted the remark that he wanted to win the MVP, Pierce, the Western All-Star player on the side, just quit. The successor hand-picked by Jordan, and the small forward who has always regarded Jordan as an idol jumped up directly and went toe-to-toe with Jordan, Pierce also came to the MVP this game, the Timberwolves player is preparing to win the All-Star MVP this year dedicated to his mentor, in the former Timberwolves, Garnett was the double MVP of the regular season and the Finals, and Nash was the MVP of the Finals. He is the only one of the three cores who has an empty hand, and he himself is extremely unhappy with such a situation, so he is full of energy to win this year's All-Star MVP. In addition, the coach of the West this year is Van Gundy, and in addition to him, there are Garnett, Wang Zhizhi and Ginobili in the Western All-Stars, his teammates. And these teammates also expressed their support for him, in this case, the small forward who couldn't hide his words directly argued with his idol Jordan, and several other young players on the side also had some eager feelings, such as Maddie of the Celtics, the small forward also wanted to tell everyone that he could also win the All-Star MVP, but he didn't open his mouth, he was pulled by his cousin, and Zhuang Fei looked at Jordan God with a very relaxed face. Teasing these young stars, appearing to see these young people are being played by this Jordan god.
After Jordan and Nash, of course. The dinner party on the scene was lively, and the focus of the whole party was no longer Zhuang Fei, now in the NBA can be compared with Zhuang Fei and Jordan, but this great god doesn't seem to have the intention of going somewhere else, this great god is following Zhuang Fei throughout the dinner. Even after the president of the league David Stern came, the great god didn't give any face to the president of the league, and he didn't plan to slap him like everyone else, so in the end, David Stern's appearance did not change the interest of Zhuang Fei and a group of them, how to play or how to play, and in the end, the NBA's godfather personally ran to Zhuang Fei and sent them a 'affectionate' condolences. The other NBA bigwigs on this side are a little confused, but what these people don't know is that the three aces that the entire league relies on the most are here, and David Stern is also ready to use these three aces to fight against the NFL league of football, and he is really extremely indulgent to these three people. …,
When he participated in the all-star in the past, although Zhuang Fei also participated in some dinners, he never felt like today, after all, today gave her the feeling of the stars holding the moon in the wine shop, and he was surrounded by his big-name disciples throughout the dinner, which is a very strange sense of happiness and achievement, but this happiness also needs to come back at some cost.
For example, at the end of the dinner, Jordan left with Nash, and the other Timberwolves and Western All-Stars also left, while Carter stayed by Zhuang Fei's side, and then looked at Zhuang Fei expectantly. Then when leaving, I didn't forget to remind Zhuang Fei.
"Coach, you haven't forgotten the promise you made to me two years ago."
In the end, when the Grizzly Bear leader left, Zhuang Fei saw that Maddie next to him was also looking at him expectantly, and the message conveyed by this Zhuang Fei can naturally understand, this young swingman is also interested in MVP, if you add the last All-Star MVP Iverson as the host, then this year's Eastern All-Star will really be very difficult. When he thought of this, Zhuang Fei also shook his head helplessly.
One MVP isn't enough
Zhuang Fei didn't bother too much about the MVP for the Eastern players, and now there is not much time for Zhuang Fei to bother, today is February 8th, it is the first day of the All-Star, at the end of the dinner, this year's All-Star Rookie Challenge has begun, this year's All-Star Rookie Challenge Zhuang Fei's assistant coach Stephen Green was invited to serve as the head coach of the first year, which is also his first personal coaching experience, although this game is not so formal game, But Zhuang Fei's assistant coach was still very important, so he left with Kirilenko, Yao Ming and Arenas, the three first-year rookie challengers, not long after the dinner, and Zhuang Fei and they decided to watch Stephen Green's game after the dinner.
"Huh? Coach, how did the game between these two teams play like this today? ”
When Zhuang Fei and the Boston Celtics players came to the arena and sat down, they were a little stunned when they saw the score on the scoreboard, and it was already the beginning of the third quarter. However, the score on the court was 55 draws, which was really low for the All-Stars, especially for the unguarded All-Star Rookie Challenge, and Zhuang Fei also saw something unusual from the shouts from the fans on the spot.
These fans are not at all as relaxed and happy as watching the All-Star Rookie Challenge, but these people are nervous, and then when Zhuang Fei looked at the court with extremely curious eyes, he had already found the answer.
It's a serious one. In the real game, Zhuang Fei also saw that his assistant was now shouting loudly to the field, and at this time he had a little bit of Zhuang Fei's style. And just when Stephen Green was shouting loudly into the arena, another figure on Stephen Green's side also made Zhuang Fei a little stunned.
Chuck Daley? The second-year coach who was also serious about putting pressure on the players on the court next to Stephen was the legendary coach of the Pistons, the head coach of the Dream One team, Chuck Daley.
"How did I forget about it. No wonder this game will play like this" Zhuang Fei looked at the two figures on the side of the court and finally said with a wry smile in his heart, this is Green's first real game, the previous summer league is not counted, he is really serious about this game, and the second-year head coach Chuck Daly on the other side is also not a person who can play casually, and Chuck Daley is a native of Pennsylvania, this is his home field, and this is also a game specially set up by the league for him to return home, How could he possibly accept that he was beaten by a young rookie coach in such a game. …,
Now that both managers are like that, it's no surprise that the game is playing like this. And after Zhuang Fei watched the game for a while, what made him feel even more happy was that the composition of the players of the two teams was also extremely interesting.
In addition to Yao Ming and Kirilenko, the first-year lineup also includes players such as Joe Johnson, Pau Gasol and Tony Parker, and Arenas and Battier are on the bench on the sidelines of the first-year. Kwame Brown, Jason Richardson and a large number of excellent young players, and the opponent's sophomore team is much worse than the first-year players, except for Kenyon Martin and McMiller, the others are some role-type players, even Reed and Crawford, who were in the Timberwolves last season, have no way to enter the sophomore roster because they have played too little time this season.
Superior in the first grade of pure strength. It's just that the experience of the second year is better than that of the first year, which makes the court always maintain a delicate balance, which is also one of the reasons why Shuangfei can play like this. And surprisingly, this balance has never been broken.
In fact, although the sophomore is definitely stronger than the first grade in terms of experience, this is inevitable, but even if it is stronger, it is not too strong, and the strength of the first-year player is really a big block higher than the second-year, but the second-year coach Chuck Daley on the sidelines can firmly control the rhythm of the game.
"I really want to control the rhythm of the ability, really an experienced legendary coach" Zhuang Fei finally looked deeply at the old man on the court and sighed, this game The old coach did a better job than Green, at least in terms of controlling the rhythm of the game, Green is still too tender, some substitutions and lineup adjustments are a bit rushed.
"After all, the experience between the two is too different, and it is understandable that such a situation will occur," Zhuang Fei finally looked at Stephen Green, who was wiping the cold sweat on his forehead on the other side, and shook his head with a wry smile. In this game, the young rookie coach was eaten to death by Chuck Daley. According to Zhuang Fei's idea, if he is allowed to be the head coach of this first-year team and play seriously with the second-grade team of the other party, the battle can be over in half a game, and the winner and loser will be clear, and after the third quarter of the game, you can enter garbage time, and there will definitely be no such taste that the first-grade is faintly suppressed.
Although Stephen Green was defeated in the coach's competition, the winner of this game was not lost in the first grade, and the result of this game made everyone a little speechless.
"Coach, how many extra hours will there be in this game? Is this really an All-Star Challenge? It's too intense," James Posey asked Zhuang Fei as he watched the two sides of the game on the court with a shocked expression, he used to be the MVP of the All-Star Rookie Challenge, but it would never be like today's game.
And Zhuang Fei was also a little speechless after hearing James Posey's question, now there have been 2 overtime, and the score is still a tie between the two sides, and it looks like it is about to go to the third overtime, who knows how long the second grade of this game can last.
When the game comes to this, the first grade will actually reverse the situation, after all, the hard power is here, and the longer the game, the better it will be for them, but what makes them very depressed is that the other party's group of people is like an immortal who can't be killed, and they can't get rid of it.
"It seems that the All-Star Game is probably not going to be able to use him anymore," Zhuang Fei was also speechless in the end, looking at the Chinese inside line on the court who had been fighting for 50 minutes.
The result of this game was that the first-year team defeated the second-year team 140-138 through four overtimes, and Kenyon Martin missed the basket in the final moment, missing the opportunity to drag the game into the fifth overtime.
"It's finally over" Zhuang Fei got up from his seat with a smile and applauded the stadium, and the fans on the court did the same, this game was very exciting, for these fans it was a very different game.
Just facing the applause of the fans, Zhuang Fei could obviously feel that Stephen Green on the sidelines was in a bad mood, although he won the game, he lost very badly in the direct competition.
"The fall of a legend, the rise of a legend" Zhuang Fei looked at the young coach who was not in high mood and hugged the old coach with a smile in his heart, thinking that the two people on the sidelines seemed to have completed the handover ceremony.
The MVP of this game was finally won by Yao Ming and Kirilenko of the Boston Celtics at the same time, Yao Ming scored a game-high 42 points and 21 rebounds in this game, and was the first player to play 40+20 in the All-Star Rookie Challenge, while Kirilenko played a quadruple-double performance of 12 points, 11 rebounds, 10 assists, 10 blocks and 5 steals, and the two descendants of Green are also the best players in this game with the longest playing time. So the final MVP was also given to the two of them without a choice. (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
