Chapter 413: Los Angeles All-Star Game Opening

"Fifth shooting guard new ( to find the latest chapter!
In the fall of 1950, the NBA was just four years old, but it began to decline.
NBA’s first chairman Podorov and Boston Celtics president Walter Brown agreed to select the best players from the Eastern and Western Districts (at the time there were only 11 teams in these two regions in the NBA) halfway through the season. A rivalry.
On March 2, 1951, Brown, president of the Boston Celtics, provided the Boston Garden Stadium for free and hosted the first All-Star Game.
The NBA All-Star began in 1951. This was the proposal of Hask Cohen, the head of the public relations department at NBA headquarters at the time.
Initially, Cohen was just to imitate the All-Star Game of the National Professional Baseball League. Baseball's All-Star Game is scheduled to be held in the middle of each season, so the NBA All-Star Game follows this habit.
Now, the annual NBA All-Star Game has become a holiday event for basketball fans around the world.
...
The Los Angeles All-Star Game will last for 3 days.
February 14th is the Rookie Challenge.
February 15th is the Shooting Star Game, Skills Challenge, Three-Point Shooting Game, and Dunk Game.
February 16th is the dinner, the East and West All-Star Game.
...
The list of entries for the eastern and western parts of the All-Star Game are as follows.
Eastern All-Star starting:
Center: Ben Wallace (Detroit Pistons);

...
From the lineup point of view, the Eastern All-Stars dominate the outside players, while the Western is dominated by insiders.
In the Western Conference starting roster, "Shark" O'Neal was once again squeezed onto the bench by Yao Ming.
This time, he did not complain that most of Yao Ming's votes came from China as he did last season, but instead accumulated his strength to break out in the game.
...
The highly anticipated, the first event of the All-Star Game, the Rookie Challenge, kicked off on Valentine's Day on February 14th!
Don't underestimate this year's rookie game, it can also be described as a crowd of stars.
Yao Ming and James, the two champions of the heavens, will compete directly in the game.
Last year's best rookie Amare Stoudemire was also in the second-year team.
In addition to James, the first-year team also has names such as Anthony, Wade, and Bosh.
Yao Ming, Stoudemire, Boozer, Ginobili and Jaric started for the second-year team.
Carman, Anthony, James, Wade, and Hinrich formed the first-year starters.
What, don't you know who Jaric is?
That must be popular science.
Jaric’s full name is Marco Jaric. He is 2.01 meters tall. He is a Serb who can play double guards. He was selected by the Clippers in the second round of the 2002 draft.
Okay, let’s focus on introducing Jaric’s Victoria’s Secret supermodel wife, Lima.
Lima was once regarded by the media as the sexiest woman in the world, and she was also the model with the longest contract time for a Victorian lingerie brand. Her appearance fee ranked third among all models in the world.
Some media broke the news that the price of a set of underwear in Lima is higher than Jaric's annual salary.
However, Jaric would not respectfully fold his underwear on the foot of the bed when doing errands, he would definitely throw it away after untying it, and then dance to his heart...
The income gap between the two makes most people not optimistic about this marriage.
...
Due to the presence of teammate James and future national teammate Yao Ming, Shen Tong, who had no game on that day, still came to watch the game.
He came with Wagner, the team's live treasure.
When the game was about to start, the first-year team arranged for James and Yao Ming to jump the ball, which made Shentong and Wagner laugh haha.
"LeBron is taking his own humiliation. There is so much difference in height between them, even if you are joking," Wagner said with a smile.
Shentong has a different view.
"I think LeBron will win."
"why?"
"intuition..."
As a result, James really grabbed the ball.
...
Soon after the opening, Yao Ming received a pass from his teammates and used his stunt "turn around jumper" to score the first 2 points for the second-year team, which is also regarded as saving the face of losing the opening jumper.
However, "Little Emperor" James immediately broke through to the frontcourt with the ball and returned the color with a mid-range shot.
Yao Ming then got the ball inside and assisted Boozer, who cut the ball and dunk with both hands.
Anthony completed the air pick after receiving the assist from James!
At the beginning of the game, Yao Ming and James had the momentum to compete.
Wagner said: "Shin, why do I think these two are a little bit tit-for-tat?"
Shen Tong replied: "We are extremely jealous when we meet the champion."
Wagner said: "They are all your teammates, are they also competing to see who is your strongest partner?"
Shentong looked at Wagner.
The idea is clear...
...
The first quarter of the game belongs to the first grade.
James and Anthony frequently connected, staged various slam dunks.
Two-handed dunk, breakthrough dunk, air relay...
The first-year team gradually opened the score and set off the first wave of emotions in the audience.
After replacing the bench players, the second-year team began to play a role.
Boozer and Prince's layup tied the score to 22-22.
Then Stoudemire began to exert force.
In the 10 minutes of the second quarter, he alone scored 10 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist. He performed very well.
Prince's defense against James and continuous mid-range shots allowed the second-year team to open the point difference to 13 points ~ EbookFREE.me ~ the end of the first half, the second-year team led the first-year team 72-59.
In the second half, although James staged a wonderful performance in front of Yao Ming, the difference between the two teams has been around 18 points.
In the final moments of the game, due to the large difference in points, both sides did not defend, allowing the opposing players to perform to their fullest.
James' dunk performance makes people regret that he did not participate in the dunk contest.
In the end, the second-year team beat the rookie team 142-118.
Stoudemire made 17 of 23 shots and 2 of 4 free throws. He scored a game-high 36 points and was elected the MVP of the game.
Yao Ming tried his best and scored 6 points and 5 rebounds on 3 of 4 shots.
