The H-O-R-S-E tournament ended with Durant defending his title, followed by the "Shooting Stars Game," which featured four teams, each consisting of three players, an active NBA player, a retired NBA player, and a WNBA player. Each team has to shoot three-pointers at six points, with the last point being the most difficult, and they have to shoot outside the midcourt.

Atlanta took the lead, squandered a number of shots in the half, and the team was led by Steve Brown. Smith hit the half-court shot, but the clock was 1:47. The other two players are Joe. Johnson and McCafferry.

Next up was the Los Angeles team, who were also led by the famous Brent Brown. Barry made the final shot, but their time was stuck at one minute, which gave them a temporary lead. The other two Los Angeles players are Paul. Gasol and Harris in the WNBA.

by Chris. Webb, Terek. Evans and Powell's Sacramento team was the third to play, and they also had a big problem in the midfield position, but it was Powell who hit the ball in the end, and they finished with 1:46 to mean that Los Angeles entered the final early.

Dirk. Nowitzki's Texas team was the last to play, and his other two teammates were Kenny Brown. Smith and Harmon. After a number of attempts in the midfield position, Smith hit the ball in the center circle and with 1:28 to put them in second place to reach the final.

The Texas team started in the final leg and had a very good first five positional schedule, taking just 17 seconds to get into the half-court position, when Nowitzki was a superstar when he hit the ball in midfield. The Texas team finished the final with 34.3 seconds.

The pressure is on the Los Angeles team. They took 25 seconds to complete the first five positions. However, in the midfield position, the Los Angeles team clearly did not have the hosts' luck, and it took 55.2 seconds for Gasol to shoot the ball to the home Texas team.

This time, the stars on the sidelines were no exception, and they all bet on the hosts to win before the game, and of course a game like this would have to give the Dallas some face, but in the end, Nowitzki's midfield shot hit once, which no one expected. If you talk about the preliminaries. Everyone put the water properly, and the final is the Dallasians' own ability.

Next up in the Shooting Stars Game is the Skill Challenge, which is the best test of a guard's passing ability, so it's a contest between the best guards in the NBA. Last year's Skill King was the Bulls' No. 1 pick, Rose, and this year he was supposed to face Nash, Delon. Old and new challengers like Williams and Jennings.

Steve. Nash is once again competing in the Skills Challenge this year, and the two brothers will naturally be on hand to support them.

The Suns are now in talks with the Nets, and Nash still has feelings for the Suns and doesn't want the Suns to get nothing next year, so the two teams are negotiating a trade between Harris and Nash.

The Nets are in no hurry to trade. The cards they are holding now are so good, Bobby, the highest paid player on the team. Simmons. The annual salary is only 10 million, and this year is the last year of the contract, which is simply a treasure; Tony, the team's third-highest paid annual salary. Barty, who has an annual salary of only six million, is also in his final year of contract; Other than that, they don't have players with an annual salary of more than five million, and many of them are in the final year of their contracts.

Next summer, the Nets' highest annual salary is Harris, but it is less than 9 million, and the salary of the entire team will only be more than 10 million.

The Suns' trade plan, the Nets don't care, they are willing to negotiate, it is completely to give Ji Guoqiu, the behind-the-scenes boss, face, everyone knows the relationship between Nash and the two brothers, this face must be given. Now the two sides are entangled in draft picks, and the Suns are of course embarrassed to ask for the Nets' draft picks, but the Nets want the Suns' draft picks, but the Suns don't want to hand them over.

"Stephen, I can't get into the talks at the top of the team, I hope you understand."

Before the game began, Ji Guoqiu muttered to Nash.

"I understand, you don't have to worry too much, I don't owe anything to the sun, after all these years, I'm so old, it's time to plan for myself."

Nash is naturally not going to be strong, and he knows that he will maintain his form for two more years at most, but Harris is different, this fast point guard is at the peak of his career, and the contract amount is small, and if the Nets want to trade, some teams in the league are rushing to ask for it.

Harris contributed an average of 20+6 All-Star per game last season, and this season also has an average of 18+7 per game, which is still an All-Star level, and is now worth more than the 36-year-old Nash. The Nets are willing to trade like this because of the face of the behind-the-scenes boss, and the behind-the-scenes boss naturally gives Nash face, so Nash has done his best to the Suns.

Today's Tricks Challenge, Bull Champion. Derek. Rose will be unable to participate due to injury, and will be replaced by Russell of the Thunder, a sophomore who had previously played well in the Rookie Challenge. Westbrook.

Derek. Rose, who won last year's All-Star Skills Challenge, was determined to defend his title this year, but now has to withdraw from the All-Star Skills Challenge due to a hip injury. However, Derek, who is currently recuperating from a hip strain. Rose will still be back in the All-Star Game, and he has given a relatively clear odds number: between 80 percent and 90 percent.

There were four players in the competition, divided into two rounds, the preliminary round and the final, except for Russell, who replaced Rose. Westbrook, the other three are Jennings, Nash, and Delon. Williams.

Westbrook came out on first, and he didn't look comfortable in his first trick game, and he wasn't prepared for the make-over, taking 44.1 seconds to complete the contest. Rookie Brandon. Jennings was close behind, with good momentum at the start, but he made back-to-back errors on the second pass and finished with 35.7 seconds.

Nash's third appearance, he was very relaxed, and he was comfortable with his gestures, and it could be seen that in terms of passing and control skills, Nash was indeed at least one level higher than the first two. With Nash's layup complete, the clock stopped at 32 seconds and the Son of the Wind had already secured his place in the finals.

Delong. Williams came out last, although it seemed that his movements were not as chic and free as Nash, but compared with the first two, the little fat man's passing and control skills were more unpretentious, and his basic skills were solid, far above the first two. In the end, he spent 33 seconds and teamed up with Nash to reach the final, which was a duel between the '05 and '08 champions.

Nash was the first to play in the final, he picked up the pace noticeably, and his expression was much more serious than in the preliminaries, with passes and shots completed in one go, and the final shot hollowed into the net, which was greeted with a standing ovation from the crowd. The 36-year-old Nash today explained what it means to be a pass-and-shoot player, and also gave the two rookies a glimpse of what a true point guard is. Son of the Wind ended the race in just 27.2 seconds, beating Rose's 35.5 seconds to finish the final.

DeLong came out under pressure, but the little fat man still had enough confidence in himself, after all, he still set the record in this event. DeLong got the first few positions right and got off to a very smooth start, but in the third pass, DeLong looked impatient after the first unsuccessful first time, which wasted a lot of his time. At the end of the layup, Nash, who had already won, jumped out to feign a block, which caused cheers from the fans, and Nash won the skills competition for the second time after '05.

Nash won the Skills Challenge again, and in fact, yesterday he was in his native Vancouver, Canada, for the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics, where he won the Skills Challenge despite a severe lack of sleep.

"I just slept for a few and a half hours today, I arrived at Dallas at 7 a.m., then I went to the hotel, I had a little rest, I did the morning training, and then I went back to the hotel and slept for half an hour," Nash said after the skills challenge. But it's worth it, and an extra title can add a stroke to your resume. ”

In the second round, Nash almost bumped into the cameraman at the start, and he laughed after the race: "I was just surprised if they wanted me to jump over them too." Luckily, I wasn't hurt myself because I was already a little tight and it was good that they moved away. ”

Finally, Nash explained why he can maintain such a high level of fitness at an advanced age: "You have to enjoy playing, being an integral part of the team and enjoying the process. Without these, all the hard work would be impossible. Only if you like basketball, you like to play, so you can train hard, because you love to play, you love the team. ”

Nash is a big fan of football himself, revealing that he will be keeping an eye on this year's World Cup in South Africa: "I can't wait, but the World Cup is only every four years, it's useless if you're in a hurry, I'm excited to wait for this summer. ”

Ji Guoqiu was next to him, and the reporter took the opportunity to ask him if he would go to the World Cup in South Africa.

"No, I'll keep training in the summer."

Ji Guoqiu has no interest in football, and South Africa's security is not very good, so he would rather go to Asia with Little Radish than go to South Africa.

The reporter asked Ji Guoqiu about the Nets again, and there have been a lot of trade rumors between the Nets and the Suns recently, and the reporter took the opportunity to ask about the odds of the two becoming teammates next season?

Of course, Ji Guoqiu will not answer such a question, and he doesn't know anything about it, and Nash also said that these are all things that will only be considered next summer. (To be continued......)
