Chapter 117: Crotch dribble godfather

After Christmas, the NBA officially promoted that the 1997 All-Star voting officially started!
The All-Star candidate list was announced immediately, with 60 people in each of the east and west.
For the 76ers, Iverson, Li Nan and Stackhouse are on the list!
...
The NBA All-Star Game started in the 1950s, and it is now the 46th.
The All-Star Game is 5 years earlier than the establishment of the regular season MVP award, which shows the importance of its existence.
In the past, fans voted for their favorite stars mainly by calling and emailing. There are also a few people who go directly to the NBA headquarters to vote, of course you have to be close to there.
So the number of All-Star votes for superstars was relatively small.
In the early 1970s, the All-Star vote was no more than 100,000 votes.
It was not until the 1980s that the Internet began to appear in the United States.
The "Magic" who led the Lakers to regain the championship in 1985 received 1,060,892 votes in the 1986 All-Star vote, becoming the first star in NBA history with more than 1 million votes.
In the 1990s, the Internet began to spread all over the world. More fans participated in the All-Star voting.
In the 1995 All-Star, Grant Hill became the first rookie vote king in NBA history and was hailed as "Jordan's successor."
At that time he got 1,289,585 votes.
In the 1996 All-Star, Hill even overpowered Jordan to win the title of "All-Star Voting King."
And what new faces will appear in the upcoming 97 All-Stars? Who will become the new vote king? Hill last year, or the 72-win trapeze Jordan?
Various teams and media professionals from all over the world have also begun to promote their own stars.
The Chicago people are naturally the main push Jordan!
Of course Pippen and Rodman are also their stars.
"Michael must be the best of the year! If his number of votes is not as high as someone else, it really is not justified!"
"Yesterday we saw the difference between a flying man and a real flying man. As long as the eyes are not blind, everyone knows how to choose."
"Support Michael! He must be CSG Wan this year!"
Jordan, who led the Bulls to a record-breaking record of 72 wins last season, is naturally sought after by everyone. It is foreseeable that it will inevitably be an explosion of votes.
…
The Detroit Pistons also actively promote Grant Hill.
"Average 25 points, 8.3 rebounds and 9.5 assists per game! He is on the MVP list."
"On the court, he can do everything!"
"He is the man closest to a flying man!"
Grant Hill has been the top voter for two years in a row. It would be a beautiful thing this year if he could win three games in a row.
…
The Philadelphia 76ers are also particularly active this year.
Of course, what they focused on was the champion Allen Iverson!
"The strongest champion in 85 years!"
"Allen Iverson is currently third in the MVP ranking! Second in the scoring list!"
"Superb skills, swift speed, gorgeous style, dare to challenge everything, he is Allen Iverson!"
...
The OK combination launched by the Lakers,
"The first center in history!"
"The youngest NBA starter!"
The black and white of the Jazz, the Ewing of the Knicks, the trident of the lowly team, the Hardaway of the Heat + Mourning, the Penny Hardaway of the Magic, the Supersonic Gloves + Rainman...
...
Voting in the All-Star Game is in full swing, and some thoughtful stars are beginning to express themselves more.
And on this day, the 76ers also ushered in another opponent of their own, an opponent that everyone was very impressed with.
Miami Heat!
The last time the 76ers won eight straight!
The culprit who caused Iverson's injury!
The most hated opponent of 76ers fans!
Use the other way to return the body!
This time, the 76ers didn't make the opponent feel better at home.
The Heat players did not sleep well last night.
The hotel suddenly became "haunted" in the middle of the night, suddenly someone moved things, and some inexplicable men knocked on the door to provide small services...
The bus to the arena the next day also had a problem. The tire is flat and the gas is all gone!
Going to rent a car again, only a leaky bus was rented.
In the end, the wealthy guys took a taxi by themselves, while the less wealthy players blew a cold wind all the way.
When arriving at the 76ers Arena, the Heat players can actually predict that the locker room will not be too good. But when they saw the disgusting garbage in it, all of them looked bad.
Pat Riley went directly to the pre-match press conference angrily.
"You wouldn't have thought of what the Sixers' home locker room looks like! There are all kinds of disgusting garbage inside, and the smell makes the stomach juices toss..."
"I want to complain to the league! I won't let this matter go!"
Won't let it go?
76ers coach Davis also responded with a smile, "Nothing, don't listen to him nonsense."
The smell of gunpowder is very heavy before this game has started.
...
"Huh~~~"
The Heat players were booed by the 76ers as soon as they came out!
Beep beep! ! !
Double players debut.
Marley found Iverson at once.
"Boy, are you scared?"
"Hen ~ clown!" Iverson was full of disdain.
Marley has made an inch.
"I made you unable to take a point today."
"Aren't you talking anymore?"
"I know you are afraid of me..."
Marley chattered and Iverson stared at each other coldly.
This quickly attracted the referee.
Separating the two, the referee stared at Marley fiercely, warning him very strongly:
"Marley, I'll be watching you this game! Don't mess with those dirty tricks. It won't be as simple as banning two games then."
Marley spread his hands, very innocent,
"Referee, I just said a few words to her, I didn't mean anything."
no offence? Is it true that you use "she" without any malice?
"You do it yourself!"
The referee did not do anything to Marley.
As soon as the referee walked away, Marley squeezed over to Iverson.
"Boy, you..."
Before Marley had finished speaking, someone squeezed in.
It's Li Nan!
Li Nan squeezed Marley away, but said to Iverson:
"Alan, your opponent is not him~EbookFREE.me~ it should be him!"
Following Li Nan's gaze, Iverson saw Tim Hardaway.
"Alan, if you want to be in the All-Stars, he is your opponent. Beat him."
Tim Hardaway is one of the hottest stars in the Eastern Conference in recent years.
It may be a little worse than Gary Payton and Stockton in the west, but he is definitely not.
Tim Hardaway is an excellent ball master. The unpredictable dribble under the crotch is his signature action. He is therefore considered the godfather of the NBA's crotch dribble.
Fans call him "TheBug", or "bug", to describe Hardaway's difficult-to-prevent dribble breakthrough.
In the last game, Iverson was injured early, and then the Heat smashed the 76ers directly under Hardaway's leadership.
This time, the godfather of crotch dribble vs. Iverson, wear a butterfly step!
