Super Lord of the Rings

Chapter 952 [Lively New York Celebrity Weekend]

After the star lineup was announced, a series of controversies arose.

The Knicks have the third-worst record in the Eastern Conference. Many people believe that Anthony should not be selected for the All-Star Game. The team with the second highest salary in the league is outrageous.

The Bulls' popularity plummeted after their record-breaking loss to the Kings. Some people also believed that David Lee should not be selected for the All-Star Game and that Rudy Gay might as well be included.

Lillard is the most controversial. This season, he scored a career-high 43 points in an away game against the defending champion Spurs.

He averaged 21.8 points, 4.6 rebounds and 6.2 assists per game, and together with Horford, Valanciunas, Batum, Matthews and others, he had an outstanding record of fourth in the Western Conference.

However, this was still not enough to help Lillard be selected for this year's New York All-Star Game. Kobe was injured and he was not selected as a substitute. The fans didn't vote for him and the coaches turned a blind eye.

In an interview with Yahoo Sports, Lillard, who couldn't hide his disappointment, simply replied: "No comment."

Also angry is Dwight Howard of the Rockets. The Rockets are currently ranked eighth in the Western Conference. He shot 60.3% from the field and scored 16.2 points and 10.5 rebounds.

Eric Gordon of the "Modern Combination" only averaged 15.2 points and 3.8 assists per game. He was able to maintain his playoff hopes mainly because of Howard, but he was ignored.

After leaving the Lakers, Howard jumped into the big pit of the Rockets, and his popularity was not even half of his peak.

Several people were selected for the first time. With Rose and Lopez suffering from constant injuries, Jimmy Butler supported the Bucks and performed well on both offense and defense.

As the new core of the Bucks, he averaged 20 points, 5.8 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.8 steals per game, and the team ranked sixth in the Eastern Conference.

Ellis finally proved himself after leaving the Western Conference. The Hawks' small ball tactics are very sharp, and his breakthrough skills are fully utilized.

Cousins ​​averaged 24.1 points, 12.7 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.7 blocks per game. He is the best insider in the league and the Heat is seventh in the Eastern Conference.

Cavaliers fans are therefore very dissatisfied with the summer management deal. They believe that if Cousins ​​stayed and partnered with James in the post, the Cavaliers would not currently be ranked third in the Eastern Conference.

The management will not tell the public that James wants to send Cousins ​​away, and the manager feels a little uncomfortable. There are not many 20+10 stars in the league, and it will be difficult to replace him with another one.

In the final analysis, James did not have the confidence to suppress Cousins ​​and was afraid that he would cause trouble. If it were Jordan, would he be worried about not being able to handle Rodman?

The only Kings players participating in the Star Weekend this time are Wang Jun and Curry.

Wang Jun continues to participate in the slam dunk contest, preparing to win the fourth championship, surpassing Nate Robinson and holding the exclusive record.

Curry participated in the three-point shooting competition. His shooting percentage was very high in the competition, higher than Wang Jun, but he did not win the three-pointer title, which was very disappointing.

On the day off, Abby was sitting on the sofa watching Wang Jun practice the longevity method, and suddenly asked: "Don't you ask us if we would like to go to the celebrity weekend?"

"I know you don't like that kind of occasion, so I didn't ask." Wang Jun said with a smile.

Abby shook the ticket in her hand and hummed: "We have even prepared the tickets. We will go together this time, and Elsa will go too."

"Huh?" Wang Jun turned over and saw Theron giggling while holding the child, waving to him. "Why do you want to support me this year?"

Theron smiled and said: "Elsa was too young before, so it was inconvenient to take her on a long trip. Now that she is three years old, she can go to the scene. And there are many people this time, so there is no need to worry about safety issues. The tickets were handled by Vivek, who The whole family goes..."

Abby simply said that Vivek brought his wife, and Xia Bowen and his sister also went out with their whole family. It is difficult to get tickets for the All-Star Game, but it is too easy for ordinary people to get tickets for Vivek.

This was a family trip on Vivek's private jet, which was not very spacious and was more than enough for two families.

The next day, the two families traveling together made the news.

Wang Jun has a good relationship with the boss, which makes Kings fans more optimistic about the team's prospects. The boss is willing to spend money, and the stars are willing to fight for this team. It may be possible to surpass three consecutive championships in the future.

Unity is the biggest feature that makes the Kings better than all teams, and they lost last season because the players were not united.

Kingdoms often collapse from within.

The Rookie Challenge has been revised again, and it has become very interesting, the United States vs. World Rookie Tournament. Let first-year and second-year players from the United States go against first-year and second-year players from other countries. In addition, Hawks assistant coach Kenny Atkinson serves as the international team coach, and Kings assistant Joe Prunty coaches the U.S. team.

In the end, World Company won, and Canadian No. 1 pick Wiggins won the MVP.

When lifting the trophy, people noticed that Wiggins had an awkward smile. He didn't feel good about not having a chance to perform in the regular season.

In the individual challenge on the second day, two Kings players stole the show.

Curry defeated Harden, Thompson, Korver, Belinelli, Irving and other masters to win the three-point championship.

After the three-point contest, the All-Star Weekend entered the most thrilling dunk contest. This year's competition is still divided into two rounds. In the first round, players have to complete two dunks, and each dunk has three attempts. It is no longer 2 minutes. limit.

The referees will score the players based on their dunk performance, and the two with the highest dunk scores in the first round will advance to the finals.

Wang Jun's opponents are "Antetokounmpo" Antetokounmpo, 2012 No. 1 pick Oladipo, and Timberwolves guard Zach LaVine.

Wiggins, who is extremely physically fit, did not participate in the dunk contest because he was stimulated.

In 2013, Wiggins participated in the McDonald's Slam Dunk Contest, which also included Jabari Parker and Aaron Gordon. Wiggins performed a beautiful 360-degree reverse dunk in the game, but the dunk contest championship was won by University of Florida forward Chris Walker, who is currently playing in NBAL.

After losing that time, Wiggins didn't want to participate anymore. He didn't want to feel the taste of failure, which was very similar to James.

In the afternoon, several players trained separately so that they did not know the strength of their opponents.

LaVine waited for Wang Jun to come to the court and took the initiative to talk to him. Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers.

LaVine said: "Wang, in terms of overall ability, there is a long way between you and me, but in the dunk contest, I am confident that I can beat you."

"We'll find out in the evening. I'm looking forward to your performance." Wang Jun patted LaVine on the shoulder, smiling to show encouragement, and his attitude was high.

LaVine really wants to win against Wang Jun because of his experience.

When he was 5 years old, after watching the movie "Space Jam" starring Michael Jordan, LaVine had an almost obsessive desire to dunk. Such an interest was enough for him to devote himself wholeheartedly to basketball.

LaVine was too young when Jordan was still playing, and he lacked a direct impression of the flying man. When he was growing up, the NBA had another star with a similar style to Jordan, Kobe Bryant, so "flying man" was very popular. He soon became his idol.

Now, Wang Jun is surpassing Jordan, suppressing Kobe and making him unable to lift his head, which makes LaVine feel very uncomfortable.

Of course, LaVine's desire to win will not put pressure on Wang Jun.

No matter how strong LaVine is, in Wang Jun's eyes, he is just an earthling, and he is definitely incomparable to someone like him who has obtained an alien ID card.

He didn't believe he would lose.
