The Strongest Bishop in the NBA

Chapter 242 All-Star Weekend

Curry naturally didn't know why Wang Xiao wanted to see the 2011 All-Star roster, just like he didn't know what Wang Xiao was going to do as the head coach in this All-Star Game.

The All-Star Weekend was held as scheduled. Although due to the lockout, this year's All-Star was the lowest in terms of publicity, voting and other aspects, but the entire Orlando was still much more lively because of the All-Star Weekend.

Starting from the 23rd, various activities of the All-Star Weekend will start one after another.

The 23rd and 24th are the various publicity activities carried out by the NBA with all the players participating in the All-Star, so let's skip it for now.

On the 25th, it was the Rookie Challenge.

This year's Rookie Challenge has been restructured, from a confrontation between the first and second grades to a draft confrontation. O'Neill and Barkley will be selected for the draft respectively, and then they will compete in groups.

O'Neal chose Jeremy Lin, Klay Thompson, Griffin and others.

On the other hand, Barkley chose rookies such as Irving, George, Wall and Leonard.

Introducing the old and bringing forth the new has made the rookie challenge a lot more exciting, but the expected confrontation between Jeremy Lin and Irving, and the battle between Jeremy Lin and Wall, the two No. 1 picks in 10 years, did not take place.

Jeremy Lin only played less than 15 minutes in the whole game, got 7 points and 3 assists and left the field hastily.

On the one hand, as a Chinese American, it is difficult for Jeremy Lin to integrate into such activities dominated by American players.

On the other hand, Jeremy Lin is not only a participant in the Rookie Challenge, but also participated in the All-Star Game, so it is normal to play a little bit in the Rookie Challenge, just like his player Griffin also participated in the All-Star Game. The reason for the main game is that we didn't play for too long.

Since the two All-Star players in the team failed to play for a long time, the O'Neal team naturally lost to the Barkley team.

It was Kyrie Irving, the No. 1 pick in 2011 who scored 34 points, who won the rookie challenge trophy.

After the Rookie Challenge, there will be various other events on the 26th, such as Shooting Star Competition, Skills Challenge, Three-Point Contest, and Slam Dunk Contest.

Among the members of the Wizards, Curry participated in the skills challenge, Thompson participated in the three-point contest, and George participated in the slam dunk contest.

It is worth mentioning that Jeremy Lin also participated in the skill challenge and will compete with Curry on the same stage.

...

To be reasonable, I think these entertainment-oriented competitions are worthy of competition, the gold content is very low, and the attention they receive is not high. The only one that has received a little attention may be the slam dunk contest. However, in recent years, the slam dunk contest has become more and more effective. Poor, the ratings keep dropping.

In the Skills Challenge, as the MVP of last season's regular season, Curry, who currently ranks first in the scoring list, was upset in the first round. The final shot of the whole set of skills challenge must be a three-pointer. In the part he is best at, he encountered Waterloo.

It's not that Curry's touch is really that bad, but that when he shoots a three-pointer, he insists on making a shot in the midfield, trying to make a super long three-pointer.

The result of this is that he missed several shots in a row. Although he finally made a three-pointer in the middle circle, the time has expired.

Although he was eliminated because of overtime, Curry smiled happily on the court. Not only him, but the audience on the court were also amused by Curry's funny scene.

Another disciple of Wang Xiao, Jeremy Lin, advanced to the second round and successfully reached the final. Unfortunately, it may be because of some nervousness, Jeremy Lin performed abnormally in the final and only won the third place.

After the skills challenge, there will be a three-point contest.

As expected by Wang Xiao, although Thompson is very good at the three-pointer, after participating in this kind of competition for the first time, he still performed a little abnormally. In the end, he scored 17 points and was eliminated, and it was not another time and space who won the three-pointer contest Love, but another player who is somewhat related to Wang Xiao, Kevin Durant.

As for the finale of the slam dunk contest and Paul George, who signed up for the Wizards, just like another time and space, he did not win the slam dunk contest trophy.

In fact, the quality of this year's slam dunk contest is very low, and the selection process based on online voting also lacks a certain amount of suspense and appreciation, which is not very interesting.

But with all the events on the 26th over, the main event is finally coming.

NBA All-Star Game, the peak duel of the 24 strongest players in the league!

At the same time, Wang Xiao has also been looking forward to it for a long time!

On February 27, the All-Star Game officially arrived.

In the dressing room of the Eastern All-Stars, Wang Xiao looked at the 12 players in front of him and said with a smile: "Guys, the All-Stars are a stage for you to perform. Let go of everything on the field and enjoy it."

For some reason, for no reason, several of them suddenly felt a little cold, as if a malevolent gaze focused on him.

Wang Xiao looked away with different expressions, and there was still a faint smile on his face.

Enjoy it, hehe, the All-Star bench seat should be quite comfortable...

...

The players didn't stay in the locker room for long, because this is the All-Star Game, there is no need to stir up the atmosphere in the locker room to study any tactics. As long as the players can play on the field, it is enough to excite the fans.

Therefore, before the All-Star Game, the live DJ will also grandly introduce the starting players from the East and West.

The Eastern Conference All-Star starting lineup is Stephen Curry, Derrick Rose, LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony and Dwight Howard.

The All-Star starting lineup in the West is Chris Paul, Kobe Bryant, Kevin Durant, Blake Griffin and Andrew Bynum.

After the routine work was ready, the starters of the Eastern and Western teams boarded the court, and Wang Xiao shook hands with the Western All-Star coach Mike Brown to pay tribute.

After saying hello, Wang Xiao returned to the Eastern Conference bench, and then naturally sat next to Jeremy Lin and George.

"How does it feel to be selected as an All-Star for the first time?"

Wang Xiao looked at George who was beside him and asked.

George smiled excitedly.

"It feels good, this is an All-Star! I even feel like I'm dreaming, can I be called a star player?"

"Of course, you are already a star!" Wang Xiao smiled slightly, patted George on the shoulder, then looked at Jeremy Lin and said, "You two will be warming up for the game in a while, and you will perform well later."

Jeremy Lin and George were taken aback by Wang Xiao's words.

The game hasn't started yet, why are you ready to warm up and play? Are you doing well? what's the situation?
