"Brother, welcome to my turf, it's great to be able to play together!"

As soon as Doon walked into the locker room of the Eastern Conference All-Star team, he was greeted by Carmelo Anthony, his former college brother who played side by side.

"Me too, it's an amazing feeling.

Although it has been two years, it seems that more than ten years have passed.

Just like when we were in Syracuse orange people, it was more than ten years in the blink of an eye. ”

Doon hugged Anthony for a moment, then continued: "To tell you the truth, when I was thinking about retiring two years ago, I thought about it, so be it!

I've made enough money, it's time for me to enjoy it!

I've achieved so much in the NBA that people talk about me with Michael, and some even say I've gone above and beyond.

But even if you are in the same era as Michael, what if you beat Michael head-on?

I've won so many games and beaten so many opponents in this era, and I feel like I've lost the joy of winning.

But I'm back, and basketball has become a part of my life.

Besides, I can't bear you! You're still playing in the NBA, and there's no reason for me to stop so quickly.

It's amazing to be able to fight with you again, and it's so nostalgic! ”

"Haha, who's to say it's not?" Anthony laughed heartily when he heard what Doon said.

But soon, Anthony put away his bright smile like a melon and asked tentatively, "Brother, do you think there is a possibility......

In a few years, will we play on the same team for one or more seasons?

We should have such an opportunity to cooperate, right? ”

When people reach middle age, they have to soak wolfberries in a thermos cup.

Doon immediately understood what Anthony meant.

One thing to say, the Knicks team, no matter how strong the team leader is, is indeed not suitable for winning the championship.

Not to mention that the management is relatively bad, the players are in a metropolis like New York, and they are tempted by so many temptations all day long, and they really don't have the heart to play.

If a team wants to win the championship, at least the main players must be 100% committed to the game, and everyone will be united and united to overcome all difficulties and win the biggest result of the next season.

Anthony has been in the Knicks for more than ten years, the hometown filter has long been broken, and the new daughter-in-law has become a yellow-faced woman.

Anthony clearly felt that there was no way to achieve his desire to win an NBA championship with the Knicks.

And Anthony must have something to know about his own physical condition.

If he didn't rely on technology and hard work to maintain his state, his peak would have entered the countdown!

If he waits until it really declines, and then finds a path that can really lead to the championship, even if he gets a championship ring, it will greatly shrink his honor in the NBA.

As a former proud son of the sky, Anthony is quite arrogant in his heart, and naturally he doesn't want to end up like this in the later part of his career.

To put it bluntly, Anthony wants to get the championship ring he has in mind as the core of the team in the late stages of his prime.

And the only one in the entire league who can help Anthony achieve this goal is Doon.

Not to mention Doon's previous honors, Dune's personal ability and playing style alone are very compatible with Anthony.

Doon is both offensive and defensive, as well as possession and organisational skills, and most importantly, he can play without the ball.

In Anthony's vision, teaming up with Doon doesn't have to worry about anything else, he just needs to do what he does best.

However, there is a difficulty in the current plan of the brothers' basketball, that is, whether Doon agrees.

After all, there is no shortage of scorers like Anthony around Doon who can only score.

The Bulls are not short of a star like Anthony who can only score.

"I've always dreamed of playing on the same team as you, just like we did with the Syracuse Oranges.

For me, the championship is not worth mentioning, and the friendship lasts forever!

If there's a chance that we can play on the same NBA team, I'd definitely like to. ”

Doon gave his own reply, not because he was hypocritical, but because he was indeed willing to take melons to get a championship ring.

As for whether the melon is willing to pull down his face, he took the initiative to defect to Doon while the peak was not over, and came to the bull to be the third and fourth masters.

Or is it that after Melon was swept away by the Knicks, he regained his free body and helped the Bulls win another championship as a middle-class and low-salary player.

This is not something that Doon can predict, anyway, everything depends on Anthony's own choice.

Doon is only responsible for giving Anthony some hope, and is also willing to take in Anthony when he is homeless, and fulfill Anthony's desire to win the championship.

"Brother, thank you, with your words, I feel at ease.

But I want to give it a try! I'm not someone to give up so easily!

I also hope that your form can be better and that you can continue to be competitive.

Otherwise, just a few of us old guys, we wouldn't be able to defeat the young people in the league so easily. ”

Anthony wanted to hug his thighs, but he was a little reserved.

After all, he is still a top 20 or 30 star in the league, and he still has three years left on his contract with the Knicks.

Anthony doesn't want to be like James, who has fallen into notoriety for joining the Heat.

Now taking the initiative to talk to Doon about these things is just a reassuring pill in advance.

Just like five or six years ago, James, Wade and Bosh had already talked about the plan to form a super team and join forces to win the championship.

It's just that they were in a hurry and didn't huddle in the late stages of their peak, but took a shortcut at a young age.

Breaking the unspoken rules made them criticized, and the failure of the huddle to achieve results made them a laughing stock.

Now Anthony's reputation is average, but at least it is better than James.

And because Anthony still has a few years to go in his prime, he is not in such a hurry to play brother basketball.

"Brother, in order to welcome you back to the NBA, I will help you win tonight's MVP!"

Anthony is the starting forward of the Eastern Conference All-Star, and if it is combined with Doon's data, it can indeed greatly increase Doon's chances of winning this year's All-Star MVP.

"Melon, I've got a lot of All-Star MVPs! You know, I'm not a big fan of data. ”

Doon wasn't duplicitous, but he really didn't take the All-Star MVP seriously.

At Doon's point now, the regular season MVP needs to be paid a little attention.

All the rest is to take the championship as the first goal!

When Anthony heard this, he nodded secretly, and then he could only laugh with Doon, so as to entertain Dune, a good brother who came from afar.

In other words, during Doon's conversation with Anthony, many stars also walked into the locker room of the Eastern All-Star team.

The locker room is so big that everyone can more or less hear the conversation between Doon and Anthony.

Knowing that Doon didn't have any thoughts about the All-Star MVP, the boulder in everyone's hearts suddenly landed.

For Doon, the All-Star MVP accolade has become a scrap.

But for them, even an All-Star starter is a good honor, not to mention an All-Star MVP that symbolizes the star of stars.

If there is a chance, the next All-Star Game is naturally to start first, brush up a little more data, and wait for the game to be over, and then take advantage of the trend to win the All-Star MVP.

However, this All-Star Game, although it was played in New York, the Eastern All-Star team was at home.

But the Western All-Stars who came from afar are not weak.

If you really want to talk about it, the overall strength of the Western All-Star team this year is even better.

In fact, there has been a phenomenon that the west is strong and the east is weak all these years! Even if the Bulls win six championships in ten years, the overall strength of the Western team is better than that of the East.

As the saying goes, the economic base determines the superstructure. Perhaps this is also because the western teams are located in cities with relatively developed economies, which make it easier to recruit high-quality stars.

And some teams in the East, because the city where they are located continue to fall into economic recession, have not produced All-Star level stars for several years, or even more than ten years.

It is also because the overall strength of the Western All-Star team is often better, and the Eastern All-Star team has won the All-Star Game relatively less times in recent years.

Tonight, the Eastern Conference All-Stars are gearing up one by one, and if they want to win the title of star within stars, they need to work harder.

It is precisely because most of the Eastern All-Stars have this heart and have this plan.

Tonight's All-Star Game changed the image of the previous All-Stars going back and forth in the first three quarters of the first three quarters, but as early as the first quarter, the Eastern and Western All-Star teams had already played gunpowder.

Of course, there is still a lot of gap between the seventies and eighties, when the All-Star Game was full throughout the game, and some stars even needed oxygen directly after the game because the confrontation was too fierce and the pace of the game was too fast.

After all, these years pay more attention to fame and show themselves.

Even with some defensive attitude in the first quarter, everyone was up to the point and didn't go all out.

However, tonight, there are few stars on both sides who play fast offense and go to the basket to score points like in previous sessions.

In tonight's game, because the defensive intensity has improved, it is not so easy to score under the basket, so the stars of both sides have to increase their shots.

Speaking of Doane alone, the three shots in the first quarter were all three-pointers.

The feel was okay, hitting two shots, and he scored 6 points in the first quarter without much shooting.

If Doon is interested in tonight's All-Star MVP, Doon, who played the full fourth quarter, is not without a chance to compete with other stars.

However, Doon doesn't need an All-Star MVP, and he is still the brightest star of the show!

Maybe Doon will have an All-Star MVP in his career, but not tonight, but in his last season before retiring.

Although Doon did not intend to maintain the style of the first man in history, Doon's approach tonight was to give up the stage to the young people in the league like those veteran stars.

Doon was uncontested and inactive on the pitch.

However, when he got off the field, he kept waving towels, cheering people on happily, and even imitated his teammates' goal actions after they scored, so as to live.

Seeing Doon's happy appearance, many fans also grinned along with Doon.

It's worth mentioning that Doon wasn't exactly playing around near the bench either.

Sometimes they would come to the side of the technical table, stand on the sidelines and pretend to be the coach, and then give orders to their Eastern Conference All-Star teammates on the court, and occasionally greet their teammates from the court.

In short, tonight's Doon showed a funny side, and also showed the image of a basketball predecessor who connects the past and the next and passes on the torch.

Many viewers who noticed Doon were also misled by Doon, thinking that Doon had played in the NBA for fifteen or six years, was almost forty years old, and was about to retire......

However, the truth is that Doon is only in his early thirties.

If Doon wants to, it won't be a problem to continue playing in the NBA for another ten years.

Then again, the game quickly entered the fourth quarter.

Doon didn't have any idea about the All-Star MVP, so he wasn't ready for the fourth quarter.

On the Eastern Conference All-Star side, the three main players in the fourth quarter were the Heat's three, plus Anthony and David Lee from the host New York.

This configuration is fine on the offensive end, but there is no defense.

On the contrary, the Western All-Star team, led by the Thunder Twins, plus Thompson, Cousins and Gasol Jr., can be called both offensive and defensive.

After a hard-fought battle, the score was fixed at 143-138 tonight.

The Western All-Stars, who were the visiting team, won the All-Star Game by five points by beating the Eastern All-Stars.

"Russell, congratulations, you did a great job tonight!"

As soon as the game was over, Doon took the initiative to come to the field and compliment Wei Shao.

After a brief hug with Wei Shao, Doon continued to encourage: "I have followed your games this season, and you can play better."

I like the way you play, you have a lot of energy.

I'm sure you'll get your first NBA MVP right away.

I think you can try to get more MVPs! ”

Although the overall strength of the Bulls has reached the point where they can regain the championship, this does not prevent Doane from making a divisive strategy.

Bryant was able to come up with a strategy for wrapping a contract year.

Doon won the All-Star MVP, and even the regular season MVP and the Finals two peach kills, and it is not impossible to separate Wei Shao and Durant.

Wei Shao was also a little excited when he received Doon's encouragement.

Now Doon's words are tantamount to Jordan saying in front of Kobe Bryant that the future is yours......

Seriously, Wei Shao doesn't particularly care about All-Star MVP, regular season MVP, and Finals MVP.

But is it just because you love to play every game? Not really.

A man who can brush an average of three doubles per game must have a certain obsession with data.

So, for what Doon is saying now, these honors that he seems to have by rubbing his hands, will he refuse?

Presumably, under the temptation of Doon, time will give Wei Shao's answer. (End of chapter)
