In the three-point contest, Damon Jones surprisingly won the championship.

The subsequent dunk contest has nothing to do with the Grizzlies, although the Grizzlies have no shortage of dunks, but Qiao Hai's tactics are more inclined to outside shooting, so the Grizzlies have fewer dunks, so they are not invited.

A total of six people participated in this year's slam dunk contest, but the popularity has been greatly reduced, and there are superstars such as Kobe, Maddy, and Carter in previous sessions, and the most famous this year has become Byron Davis.

In addition to Byron Davis, the other five are Desmond Mason, DeShaun Stevenson, Jonathan Bender, Stroy MyersSwift and Cory Magetti.

In the end, Desmond Mason defeated everyone and won the dunk title, with Deshawn Stevenson and Byron Davis in second and third respectively.

……

……

On the last day of All-Star Weekend, the main event was staged.

The MCI center is lively all day long, and the East and West All-Stars arrive early in the morning to start joint training, of course, this joint training is open to the public, and major media can enter to shoot and interview as long as they have an interview card.

Qiao Hai also arrived early in the morning, took a few tactical boards, and prepared a few sets of tactical playing styles in advance.

Of course, it is a very simple tactical coordination, basically take it out and arrange it when you are on the field, and you can play it perfectly on the field.

After thinking about the tactics, Qiao Hai was dragged away by the press officer sent by the alliance.

In the past two days, Qiao Hai has been wearing a suit customized by Versace for the All-Star Weekend, one set a day, and the appearance has probably not changed, mainly because the color is different, Qiao Hai wore a black suit on the first day, sky blue on the second day, and today, he is wearing a brown-red suit.

A group of reporters gathered on the sidelines, Qiao Hai was pulled over by the press officer, and the group of reporters immediately surrounded him.

"Joe, it's your first time coaching an All-Star Game, is there anything you want to say?"

Qiao Hai went straight into the state: "I'm very happy to be able to coach the All-Star Game, this coaching is an affirmation of me, thank you to the league for giving me a chance." ”

The official cliché, what Qiao Hai really wants to say now, he can say a bunch of things.

However, the reporters in front of him are also a little helpless, the current Qiao Hai, in addition to saying more than one sentence when saying these clichés, Qiao Hai's answer to other questions is as short as it can be.

Questions that can be answered in two words, never in three words.

"What are you expecting from this fight?"

Qiao Hai thought for a while: "I have a lot to look forward to, this is my first time coaching an All-Star Game, and it is an exciting thing to have so many star players on the team, and I want to use this group of talented players to play a more exciting and intense All-Star Game." ”

In 2001, the meaning of the All-Star show was not so strong, Maddy, Kobe, Iverson...... This group of players are all players with a particularly strong desire to win, even if it is an All-Star Game, it is a real fight.

In Qiao Hai's view, such an all-star game is really exciting.

"So, will the Western Force win the game?"

Qiao Hai smiled: "Of course! ”

"So predict the MVP, right? Who will be the MVP of this game? ”

"Then it depends on who's in good shape."

"Regardless of the state, who do you think has a better chance?"

"It's not okay to talk about the state, everyone is a star player, and the strength is similar, of course, whoever is in good shape has a better chance."

At this time, Qiao Hai became shrewd again, anyway, he didn't answer these reporters' questions head-on.

However, Qiao Hai also has his own ideas about the MVP of this game, if Maddie wants to brush an All-Star MVP, he will become Maddie.

……

The joint practice soon began, and Qiao Hai arranged two sets of starting plays.

One is the triangle offense of Kobe and O'Neal, with other starters playing role players, and the other is the Princeton offense of Maddie and Webb and Duncan.

The defense is naturally not arranged, even if the All-Star is more serious, it can't be more real on the defensive end, anyway, this is also an exhibition game, and the offense still has to be encouraged.

During the joint practice, Qiao Hai talked to Maddie.

"Tracy, do you want to win an All-Star MVP?"

"I want to take it, boss."

Maddie clearly wants this All-Star MVP.

Because of the injury that missed almost three months of games, Maddie has missed the regular season MVP this season in advance, and Maddie, who is hungry for personal honors, naturally fell in love with this All-Star MVP.

He has an innate advantage, the coach of the main game is Qiao Hai, as long as Qiao Hai helps, and the Western Army wins the game again, the MVP will most likely be won by Maddie.

Maddie wanted to take it, Qiao Hai nodded: "Okay, adjust your condition, do your best to play in the evening game, I will give you a chance." ”

"Thank you, Coach."

……

Time flies, night falls, the MCI Center is brightly lit, and the cameras of major sports television stations in the United States are focused here.

It also includes some foreign TV stations, such as CBC TV in Canada, CCTV in the Celestial Empire, and BBC in the United Kingdom.

A large number of fans gathered inside and outside the stadium, wearing various jerseys, and poured into the stadium.

In the front row of the stadium, a large number of North American celebrities appeared, treating the All-Star Game as a show.

Joe stayed at the MCI Center all day, and as the game got to begin, he also met Michael Jordan.

This season, Jordan became the general manager of the Washington Wizards, therefore, he is also half the owner of the MCI center, Qiao Hai and Jordan are not familiar with each other, but Jordan saw Qiao Hai and took the initiative to say hello.

"Hello, Qiao Hai."

Qiao Hai also smiled: "Hello, Michael." ”

Qiao Hai and Jordan don't have much to talk about, but Jordan is now in management, and obviously needs to maintain a good relationship with some powerful coaches.

Especially Qiao Hai is still a coach with transfer power, Michael Jordan naturally wants to get to know Qiao Hai.

"Michael, I'm your fan."

Facing the god of basketball, Qiao Hai first complimented.

Jordan waved his hand, but joked with Qiao Hai: "I know, many people say it's my fans, but I don't believe most of them. ”

Qiao Hai smiled sincerely: "Michael, you have to believe that I am indeed your fan." ”

Jordan nodded: "Okay, okay, I believe it, do you want me to give you an autograph?" ”

"Okay!" As he spoke, Qiao Hai really took out a small notebook, added a pen, and handed it to Jordan.

Jordan was still a little blindsided, but he signed his name anyway.

In this way, they exchanged two sentences without embarrassment and made a few jokes.

Michael Jordan finally came with a truth: "Joe, when do you want to leave the Grizzlies, call me." ”

Qiao Hai smiled and nodded: "Okay, no problem." ”

He said that it was no problem, but in his heart he thought differently.

Qiao Hai knows what Michael Jordan's style is as a manager, the draft can be called Lei Feng, as the owner is very picky, and infinitely interferes in the team's operations.

Such a style is obviously not suitable for Qiao Hai.
