Chapter 795: Frustrated Man

The All-Star Game weekend is not only a grand event of the All-Star Game, but also a relaxation and a break for the players in the middle of the season.

The guys who can appear on the stage of the All-Star Game are players who have enough popularity.

Of course, there are also some unknown players who are eager to show themselves on this stage, such as the slam dunk contest.

Slam Dunk Contest champion Gerald Green hopes to continue to crown himself through this game, and then Magic's Dwight Howard, Grizzlies' Rudy Gay, and Raptors player Jamario Moon, as his opponents, several people are supermen with amazing bounces, especially Gerard Green and Moon, whose heads are flat and framed is just a routine operation, and they can even make their heads half as small as they are out of the frame and easily look down at the hoop.

In the end, Dwight Howard won the championship of this dunk contest with a dunk based on creativity and popularity.

His championship dunk is to jump up and take the ball from the basket, and then make a big windmill, through online voting, and Dwight Howard's network approval rating is as high as 78 percent, no way, after all, he is an upstart in the East, and he is the league's No. 1 center in the United States today.

On the evening of the 18th, the All-Star Game began.

It kicked off at the New Orleans home arena, and all New Orleans fans were hoping that Paul could get the MVP of this All-Star Game.

As Paul's friend, Yang Di naturally gave Paul the opportunity to control the ball when the two were partners.

But no matter what, the 03 session has become the main theme of this All-Star Game, Yang Di, James, Wade, Bosh, Anthony, several people are players who can cut points.

In the first quarter, Chris Bosh of the Eastern Conference Stars had 8 points and 1 rebound, and LeBron James had 2 points and 3 rebounds. Yang Di scored 6 points and 2 rebounds before Paul played, becoming the most eye-catching force group in the game. Iverson started but did not perform well, and Kobe Bryant had a small injury on his body and played three minutes before resting, just meaning the game.

By the end of the first half, LeBron James had 12 points, 6 rebounds and 7 assists, and Anthony had 10 points and 4 rebounds. In the second quarter, James and Carmelo Anthony performed with wonderful shots again and again, and stars of the class of '96 such as Iverson, Nash and even Ray Allen gradually became supporting roles in the game.

Allen Iverson scored in quick succession in the second half with the Western Stars trailing, but his strength was nowhere near as strong as James, who was aiming for MVP.

James was full of fighting spirit throughout the game, and the desire to win the MVP honor was very strong at a glance.

Yang Di has relatively little fighting spirit, and Chris Paul has no right to speak, and he doesn't have much ball power, purely watching the performance of bigger stars.

Paul was just a junior star who was making his way to the All-Star Game for the first time.

In the final 55 seconds of the game, the little emperor helped the Eastern Stars take the lead with a dunk that made the scene boil. This dunk not only helped the Eastern Stars achieve the final victory, but also allowed him to win the All-Star Game MVP, marking the arrival of the era when the 03 generation will fully replace the 96 generation as the main force of the NBA.

Yang Di smiled and applauded, from boos to applause in the New Orleans home arena, James held the trophy high, no matter what, James won the MVP for his performance, which deserves praise and encouragement.

.......

Yang Di scored 18 points in the All-Star Game without any fighting spirit, and that night, he hurried to Salt Lake City with Byron Davis, Ray Allen and others.

The Utah Jazz are the next opponent they will be up against.

The Jazz have the fourth record in the West, and according to the division system, their fourth record in the West is very solid, and in the end, the Lakers may only be third, and the Spurs will be second.

Even if it is fourth in the division system, the Jazz actually have a good record.

But as a result, the Jazz's two core star players did not make it to the All-Star Game, including Deron Williams, who averaged 19+11 per game, and Carlos Boozer, who averaged 21+10 per game.

The statistics of these two people are so good that they explode, and in today's league, there are only a few people who can average two doubles per game, and the Jazz account for two at once.

Especially Deron Williams, who averaged 10.8 assists per game, only had 3.4 turnovers, and his passing was not only strong in the big picture, but also very solid.

It's a pity that both of them were defeated, and the coaches subconsciously ignored this low-key team, which is even more low-key than the Spurs.

In the end, the most dissatisfied became Jazz fans, Jazz fans felt that the Jazz team had no problem being selected as three, like Andrei Kirilenko, but a perennial block + steal double defensive giant.

Deron and Boozer must have breathed a sigh of relief, recovering a lot of energy during the All-Star weekend, and were thinking about proving themselves in the regular season, when the Warriors came to the door.

Salt Lake City, Energy Solutions Arena.

On the night of the 19th, the two sides set up positions.

It is still that special three-dimensional vertical design, and the voices of fans throughout the stadium converge, as if they can directly dive into the players' eardrums.

Jazz starters: PG Deron Williams, SG Ronnie Brewer, SF Andrei Kirilenko, PF Carlos Boozer, C Memet Oku.

The Jazz's starters are all very strong, with tendons and flesh, while the Warriors are strong and thin, and they are different.

The position comparisons are Byron Davis, Ray Allen, Danny Granger, Jandy and Tyson Chandler.

Byron met Delon, who was far ahead of Byron in the assist list and scored higher than Byron in points, but Byron entered the All-Star Game, Delon did not score, and Delon was very disappointed.

When two strong defenders meet together, it's like the tip of a needle meeting Maimang.

At the beginning of the game, the two of them were on the same page, and in the first wave of Byron Davis's attack, he shook off Deron Williams with the ball on the outside, and Byron Davis stepped directly on the outside line to hit a jumper.

Byron Davis, who scored the goal, was particularly arrogant, probably because of the sequelae after playing the All-Star Game, and directly spewed trash talk at Deron Williams.

"That's the difference between you and Chris [Paul], even if you're tall and strong, you can't defend, you're always just a blank ride."

If Yang Di heard his words, he would definitely roll his eyes, when did Byron and Chris Paul become so familiar? The two are just the intersection of the former Hornets and the current Hornets.
