When Isaiah Thomas turned on the TV and tuned into TNT, the game in the picture gave him an eerie sense of familiarity.

He subconsciously thought of the 1985 All-Star Game. Back then, because of the hostile relationship between the Pistons and the Bulls, and Michael Jordan's kid was so arrogant, he didn't even take the initiative to greet himself in the elevator. So, he teamed up with stars such as Moses Malone to block Michael Jordan, and as a result, the rising star who was selected to the All-Star Game for the first time scored just seven points in 22 minutes on the court.

And now, Snoopy didn't even score a point.

Thomas finally understood why Snoopy was adamant about making the playoffs on the phone. At the same time, he also understands why Michael Jordan will complete his evolution after that All-Star break.

Engel was right when he said that what stimulates mankind to move forward is either glory or shame. I didn't expect to be the decisive factor in making Michael Jordan the god of basketball. ”

Isaiah Thomas smiled slightly wryly at himself.

He suddenly thought again: "Can Snoopy complete the Michael Jordan-like evolution under the same stimulus?" ”

He fell into a long reasoning.

At this time, Snoopy, who appeared in the power forward position, still did not receive a pass from anyone, Allen Iverson, Dwyane Wade, LeBron James, Dwight Howard... The four of them seemed to be completely oblivious to Duge's presence.

This neglect has made Snoopy a marginalized person.

As the minutes ticked by, when the first commercial pause arrived, Dugg was replaced by East Force head coach Doug Rivers, and then sat quietly at the end of the bench.

"It seems a little too stingy for the Eastern Conference All-Stars to do that." Earl Johnson mentioned slightly.

He's not the kind of commentator who magnifies feuds between players, but Charles Barkley is.

The last time this kind of isolation occurred in the All-Star Game was in 1985, when Michael Jordan became the first rookie player to be selected to the All-Star Game in his rookie season after Magic Johnson and Isaiah Thomas, but Michael Jordan was boycotted by Isaiah Thomas that night, who deliberately did not pass Michael Jordan. This caused Michael Jordan's All-Star debut to be very embarrassing. ”

Charles Barkley turned up history: "And that sparked a frenzied revenge from Michael, who scored 49 points in Detroit in his first game after the All-Star break. And when he competed in the Olympics in '92, he directly rejected the decision to play with Isaiah Thomas, which caused Thomas to never be able to enter the dream team again. ”

"Are you comparing Snoopy to the god of basketball? And... I don't think there's any isolation in the team, Snoopy's style of play isn't attack-oriented, so why do you have to pass the ball to him? Kenny Smith offers a very different perspective.

At this time, the east on the pitch gradually took over.

Because the lineup of LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and the Celtics began to shine, this made basketball fans no longer deliberately pay attention to whether Snoopy was isolated...... After all, in the hearts of basketball fans, Snoopy's strength really can't compete with other All-Stars.

For entertainment fans, they pay more attention to the halftime performance.

The All-Star Game is a relaxed arena for players, with little physical contact and no forced collision defense. So, the game time went very smoothly.

Intermission also followed.

The halftime performers were Selena Gomez, Taylor Swift, and the finale, Lord Duke.

Such an arrangement can be said to have ulterior motives, and the Phoenix organizers are very obviously consuming the Duchess's popularity, and if it weren't for the fact that Miley Sellers is performing in Eastern Europe, they would even spend a lot of money to forcibly create an open confrontation between the DM Party and the DT Party.

Dugg knew their intentions, but... Why not receive a million dollars in remuneration and a great platform to play songs?

As a top student at the Anderson School of Business, he rarely struggled with money.

The successive appearances of Selena and Taylor Swift quickly ignited the home atmosphere.

And before Dugg took the stage, the West Jersey Arena was already boiling, DUKE! DUKE！ DUKE！

Frantic screams filled the entire field.

It sounds like a memorial concert for some rock singer.

When the prelude sounded, a beam of chasing light fell from the sky. After changing his costume, Duge appeared in the center of the stage, and when he sang the first lyrics, the whole scene exploded!

And when he continued to sing, the screams did not stop until the last line was sung, and the enthusiasm of the scene was still spreading.

"It's hard to imagine that this is a basketball game with at least 8,000 female fans in the West Jersey Arena." Earl Johnson lamented after Snoopy's exit: "But there's no denying that it's a very brainwashing melody song. I believe it won't be long before it tops the Billboard title. ”

"Snoopy is the first player in NBA history to put on a show in the midfield and take a million dollars. If I were any other player, I would have pantothenic acid in my heart. Kenny Smith muttered: "Why can he be an All-Star starter, have an affair with a female star, and take away $1 million?" ”

He spoke to the players.

At the time of Dugg's performance, everyone on the Eastern Conference All-Star bench except for Dwyanwade who danced along. There are even players who deliberately make expressions of disdain.

In their opinion, Snoopy is not the same person as them at all: the ball is not very good, and he wants to do whatever he wants with just a handsome face and a few scandals?

So, when Dugg came back after changing his jersey, only Wade high-fived and hugged him.

Everyone else's eyes are looking away.

When the camera caught this scene, the speculation about 'isolation' was completely confirmed.

The third quarter started quickly, and Dugg was still sitting at the very end of the bench.

Doug Rivers doesn't seem to have any intention of bringing Dugg back on the court, and while he admires Dug's style of play, he doesn't intend to upset everyone else for Snoopy. After all, judging from his qualifications and experience, Snoopy's presence here tonight is indeed a bit out of place.

When the game reached the end of the third quarter, many spectators in the audience couldn't stand it anymore, and they paid a lot of money to buy tickets to come in, not to stand on tiptoe to see the back of the Duke's head. They wanted the Duke to play.

So, someone started shouting, Snoppy!

When the sound first started, it was just a scatter.

But soon the spark was ignited.

When the time entered the fourth quarter, it was already in unison.

The 8,000 female fans who Barkley called infiltrating the basketball arena began to play their amazing decibels, and their shouts in unison enveloped the entire arena.

Doug Rivers had to call a timeout with the fifth minute of the fourth quarter.

He couldn't continue to turn a deaf ear, and if he continued to hold Snoopy on the bench at this time, the headliner of tomorrow would be himself.

And, in today's highly commercialized NBA, whoever makes the fans who buy tickets to enter the stadium unhappy, David Stern will definitely find a way to make him unhappy.

But Kevin Garnett's mouth was still snarky: "Hey, boy. You should rent this arena. Those ignorant girls are looking forward to your concert. Why don't you become a singer......"

"It's your business."

Before he could finish speaking, Dugg glanced over with a cold eye, and he stared coldly at the tough guy who had been commenting on himself since the morning.

Garnett didn't expect that the rookie, who had been obedient all day, would suddenly get mad at this time, not only interrupted coldly, but even looked at himself defiantly.

Suddenly, he felt a little uncertain in his heart. But after hesitating for two seconds, he glared back viciously, and took out the big brother's head, stretched out his hand and pointed at Duge: "Rookie, do you want to fight?" ”

Syllable!

Dugg slapped his fingers open.

"yes. I'd love to beat you up. Dugg said bluntly: "I can't stand a seven-foot strong man babbling like a and saying harsh things. If you don't like me, you can ask me to fight, whether it's here or in the official ring, I'll accept it. ”

Dugg's directness was beyond Kevin Garnett's imagination, he originally wanted to find the court through strong moves, but he didn't expect Snoopy to be a bastard, he not only directly hit his fingers, but also proposed a heads-up.

The remark immediately made it difficult for Kevin Garnett to ride the tiger.

As an NBA player, he'd heard about the Nuggets locker room. He doesn't think he's better than Kenyon Martin or J.R. Smith.

Just when he didn't know how to be 'tough', Dwyanwade reached out with a smile on his face and hugged the two: "It's all a joke." ”

Then he whispered: "A lot of cameras are aimed here, don't make a big deal out of it." ”

Hahahaha!

Kevin Garnett burst out laughing.

Then he reached out and put his arm around Duge's shoulder, as if nothing had happened.
