Chapter 156: Peja Template, Eastern Conference All-Star Team Leader!
[Congratulations on winning the honor of the three-point king in the 2005 Denver All-Star Weekend Three-Point Contest with 23 points in the final!] 】
[You have achieved the three-point king achievement and obtained a three-point king player template lottery opportunity, is it a lottery?] 】
At the same time that Doon lifted the three-point king trophy, the system prompt also sounded in Doon's head.
"Lottery!" Doon said silently in his heart.
[Congratulations on getting the Peja Stojakovic template!] 】
"Peja? It's ok......"
Among the previous three-point kings, there are not many who are better than Peja.
Peja was the fourth MVP in the regular season at his peak, and he belongs to the stars above the All-Star and below the superstar.
And not only was he able to win the NBA championship, but in the 02 World Championships, Peja and Divac also led Serbia and Montenegro to win the world championship.
In terms of three-pointers alone, before Curry came out, Peja was eligible to compete with Ray Allen, Reggie Miller, and Larry Bird for the first three-point player.
Peja's only regret is that his physical fitness is relatively poor, and when the defensive intensity comes up in the playoffs, and the physical confrontation is insufficient, it is easy to pull his hips.
However, this is also a common problem of white shooters, and the only exceptions are a few historical superstars such as Larry Bird and Nowitzki.
"Brother, congratulations on becoming the king of three points!"
Seeing Doon standing in place with the trophy, Anthony also came to the field from the audience.
At the same time, there were Wade, Bosh and others.
"Brother, I knew you would be the king of the threes!"
"It's amazing, Doon's three-point ability, I recognize!"
"Last year's dunk king, this year's three-point king, next year should be able to become the king of skills, right?"
Don also quickly came to his senses when he heard the compliments from the others.
"To borrow everyone's auspicious words, I will treat you in the evening, and I invite you to appreciate your face." Doon said politely.
The three-point king is just an appetizer, and the All-Star MVP is what Doane is bound to get.
By winning the three-point title tonight, Doon spoke to Wade well.
Anyway, in this year's All-Star Weekend, Wade has gained a lot and has already won the MVP of the Rookie Challenge.
Come to think of it, Doon invited Wade to a meal and told Wade bluntly that he wanted the All-Star MVP.
As a good brother, Wade will definitely not shirk.
Sure enough, after three cups and two lamps, Wade not only had no opinion, but patted his chest and packed the ticket with Doon.
Wade said that he reassured Doon that he would help Doon get O'Neal and Big Van Gundy after returning to the hotel, and would definitely help Doon get the All-Star MVP.
Doon has no doubt about this, and bluntly says that good brothers are righteous.
This also made Anthony on the side envious enough, and while being silent, he put on an expression that I came first.
……
On February 20, the last day of All-Star Weekend, the All-Star Game will start tonight.
The time quickly came to night, and in the visiting locker room at the Pepsi Center in Denver, many Eastern Conference All-Star players walked in one after another.
"Brother, we're going to fight side by side again, let's beat that Kobe guy together!"
As soon as O'Neal entered the door, he took the initiative to greet Doon, exchanged greetings with Doon, and threatened to seek revenge on Kobe.
Doon wanted the All-Star MVP, and he was supposed to beat the Western Conference All-Stars and beat Kobe.
Therefore, I am also more interested in O'Neill's proposal.
"Shaq, I'll pass you the ball, but Dwyane should have told you, right?"
Before the All-Star break, Doon had to talk to O'Neal first.
Hearing this, O'Neill also nodded, then lowered his head to Doon's ear and whispered, "We are brothers, Shaq will definitely help you."
You know, back last season, you were my MVP!
If we keep playing together, we're going to keep winning, and no one can stop us! ”
Although they have parted ways, O'Neill still habitually pua Doon.
Come to think of it, Wade has been with O'Neal for half a season, and he should have been eaten to death by O'Neal.
Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here!
Wade and O'Neal also walked into the locker room with front and back steps, and saw O'Neal chatting with Doon, so they immediately came up.
"Brother, I've got you covered!
Tonight, let's enjoy the game together!
Your playing time at the Rookie Challenge was so short that I didn't experience the joy of playing together at all. ”
Wade invited credit and said that he would play brother basketball with Doon for a while tonight.
Naturally, Doon had no opinion on this: "Thank you, brother!"
Together, we must be unstoppable!
Let's beat the Western All-Stars, enjoy the game, and enjoy the win! ”
At this time, Arenas also walked into the locker room, because he didn't know anyone else, so he chose to get together.
"Doon, are you interested in betting on your three-point shot when you're warming up?"
Obviously, Arenas was a little concerned about the poor performance in last night's three-point contest.
I want to find Doon, the new three-point king, to prove his three-point ability.
Doon also knew that Arenas was too nervous and didn't play well last night.
As long as there is no pressure to play, Arenas' three-point ability can still be trusted.
It just so happens that Doon also needs to entrap some people to ensure that he can beat the Western All-Star team more securely and win the All-Star MVP of this All-Star Game.
Therefore, instead of rejecting Arenas, Doon immediately responded.
"I can't ask for it! I know how good you really are, and I'm looking forward to making the next bet with you. ”
Hearing Doon say this, Arenaston burst out laughing, and there was no embarrassment in walking into the locker room alone.
It didn't take long for the rest of the Eastern Conference All-Star team to arrive.
Doon sat with Wade, O'Neal, and Arenas.
Next to him are O'Neal Jr., Pierce and Carter, and the three of them are sitting together.
As for Grant Hill of the Hummers, Iverson of Reebok, and Big Ben of AND1, I don't know what happened and sat together.
The Cavaliers' two All-Star benches, with James and Big Z sitting in a corner.
Everyone sat distinctly with each other, each with a partner to chat with.
It wasn't until Eastern Conference All-Star head coach Big Van Gundy entered the locker room that all eyes were on Big Van Gundy.
Big Van Gundy boiled two sentences of chicken soup, and the members of the Eastern Conference All-Star team warmed up.
Ten minutes later, Doon and Arenas prepared to execute the bet and open up outside the three-point line at the top of the arc.
Others watched the lively members of the Eastern All-Star team, and they also stopped what they were doing and came up.
Iverson even took the initiative to coax: "Gilbert, Doon is the three-point king, you are not his opponent, I think it's better to forget it!" ”
"Aaron, I have a lot of respect for you! But it's between me and Doon, what are you talking about? Do you have the ability to come along? ”
Arenas replied strongly to Iverson.
Iverson smiled, "Okay, I'll do it too...... I pressed Doon to win, a thousand dollars, did you bet against me? ”
"Doon is my brother, and I will also press Doon to win, then a thousand!" Wade also came to join in the fun.
Although Wade has not signed any big contracts now, after becoming the boss of the Heat, he has a lot of endorsement contracts.
At this time, O'Neill, as a human spirit, saw that everyone was not optimistic about Arenas, and in order to give Arenas a step, he took the initiative to step forward.
"Shaq crushes the Western All-Stars to lose! We can win tonight, will anyone follow? Hehe, what's the point of just winning or losing within the team? ”
Arenas knew that O'Neal had come forward to clear him, and he glanced at O'Neill gratefully.
Then he responded, "Yes, I'm just having fun with Doon."
The key tonight is to win against the Western All-Stars!
We've got Shaq, and we're not going to lose! ”
In today's Eastern All-Star team, if anyone can be the leader of the team, it must be O'Neal, who has four championships and four FMVPs in hand.
Then it was the turn of Iverson, Big Ben, and O'Neal Jr.
However, O'Neal doesn't have much in mind about being the leader of the Eastern Conference All-Star team.
"Haha, Shaq just wants to beat Kobe, and the rest will be left to Doon, Shaq believes in Doon!"
O'Neill giggled as he pushed Doon out.
Now Doon is almost fifth or sixth on the list of regular season MVP media predictions.
This is mainly due to the fact that the seniority is too shallow, and the team's record is a little weaker.
In fact, Doon's stats are still very eye-catching, enough to deserve the regular season MVP.
And the quality of Doon's teammates this season can be seen by anyone.
Doon led the Eastern Youth Army and played half a season in the league, and there were few other Eastern All-Stars on the scene who disagreed with Doon.
Now that O'Neill has said so, as long as Iverson and O'Neill Jr. don't stand up against it.
Then the leader of the Eastern All-Star team tonight is Doon's!
"I also believe in my brother, Doon is absolutely fine with leading the team."
Although Wade was soft-spoken, he also stood up for Doon for the first time.
Seeing this, Arenas also expressed his support for Doon: "I recognize Doon's strength!" I'm not unconvinced.
The reason why I want to make a three-point shot with Doon is just to have a play.
Doon, you shouldn't say no, right? ”
"No problem, it's just a game!
Is there anyone else you'd like to learn from?
Vince, Paul, do you want to compare them together? ”
Doon took the initiative to form a faction.
Pierce didn't know if he wanted to join Doon, O'Neal's group, or if he was interested in Doon's proposal.
In short, Pierce also said happily: "Three-point fight? Add me one! ”
Carter, who was a good gentleman, also walked towards Doon after Pierce spoke: "Then let's be together!" ”
If you get four three-pointers, this lineup can hold a three-point contest.
However, the comparison between Doon and others is not so troublesome, that is, shooting three points at the top of the arc.
The rules are very simple, shoot in turn, you score one, I score one, until ten shots are made.
In the first few, basically no one missed, Arenas was competitive, and took the initiative to open the shooting distance, wanting to succeed.
Not to be outdone, Doon followed up with a three-pointer from beyond the arc.
Pierce and Carter also tried, but they were clearly not as accurate as the regular distance shots.
Before the fight was over, Iverson came up again: "I pressed Doon to win, did anyone bet with me?" ”
"Haha, then I'll press Gilbert, no matter what the result, I win!"
Doon smiled and took Iverson's bet.
"Well, I'll bet you."
Iverson ostensibly sided with Doon, but in fact he took the initiative to join Doon's team and admit that Doon was the leader of the Eastern All-Star team.
In this way, it doesn't matter whether other people have opinions or not.
