February 10, 2001, MIC Arena, Washington.

Today is the second day of the NBA's 2001 All-Star Weekend, and a trio stands out in the front row of the south stands at the MIC arena.

When these three people appeared, the stands were boiling, and at this time, the TV broadcast camera also swept to the Chinese man who caused the audience to boil.

"Are you Mr. Zhuang?"

"Huh? It's really Coach Z."

"Wow, Mr. Zhuang, can you sign my name and take a photo?"

Zhuang Fei is a little helpless about these crazy fans around him, but although he is a little helpless in his heart, he still maintains a smile on the surface, and then takes the trouble to sign autographs for the fans around him, in fact, for the fans of the Washington Wizards, they have no shortage of opportunities to see big-name stars, and the small owner and general manager of their team are basketball emperor Michael Jordan, it can be said that the vision of these Wizards fans has been very high after Jordan's baptism, There are very few people in the NBA who can make them as crazy as they exist, and it's clear that Coach Z is one of those minority.

"Uncle, is this the second day of the NBA All-Star, it looks so lively, it's more lively than yesterday, but it's not as tense as the target center at all, everyone looks like they're smiling all the time."

Zhuang Lin stood between Zhuang Fei and Scarlett and kept looking around, it was obvious that this was his first time, and this first-time little boy was very curious about everything here. Seeing his nephew like this, Zhuang Fei also smiled, and then directly picked him up and pressed him to the standing position. After pressing the curious Zhuang Lin on the seat, Zhuang Fei and Scarlett also sat down side by side.

"Uncle, do you think I'll be able to participate in the slam dunk contest like Paul in the future?" Zhuang Lin was sitting in his seat and suddenly saw Pierce warming up on the court. This kid knows that Pierce is going to participate in the slam dunk contest this year. Although his uncle has always hit him before, Zhuang Lin still likes to ask this question, according to what the Timberwolves players told him, his uncle is one of the most authoritative authorities in the NBA, and his answer must not be wrong.

"No, Xiao Lin definitely can't participate in the slam dunk contest," Zhuang Fei said with a smile as he looked at his little nephew who was looking at him expectantly. After Zhuang Fei finished speaking, Xiao Zhuang Lin quit, and his 'nasty' uncle hit him again, which also made the little guy's two little cheeks bulge, and both Scarlett and Zhuang Fei laughed when they saw the little guy like this. In fact, Scarlett also likes Zhuang Fei to tease this little guy like this.

"Although our family Zhuang Lin can't participate in the slam dunk contest, but you can still participate in the three-point contest like Paul" Zhuang Fei gently scraped the nose of his little nephew who was angry and puffed up and said, Pierce still participated in the three-point and slam dunk contests this year, according to his meaning, he must win the championship of the dunk contest and the three-point contest at the same time, if this goal is not achieved, he will continue to participate like this, although Pierce was a little joking when he said it, but Zhuang Fei knew that he was serious, If he hadn't achieved that goal, he might have kept racing.

"Yes, can I still participate in the three-point contest, so uncle, am I having a chance to enter the NBA" Although Xiao Zhuanglin has a stupid head, he can still turn a corner sometimes. My uncle used to always say that he couldn't enter the NBA, and today he said that he can participate in the three-point contest, so isn't participating in the three-point contest already entering the NBA? At least that's what Xiao Zhuanglin thinks in his heart.

"Eh" Zhuang Fei looked at his nephew's excited look and secretly wiped his cold sweat, but he didn't expect to get around himself today.

"Xiaolin, I lied to you just now, in fact, you can't even participate in the three-point competition" Zhuang Fei wiped a cold sweat and said with a smile, but at this time, Zhuang Fei's smile was so embarrassing. …,

"No, you're lying to me now, you must be jealous that I'm a genius. I'm afraid that I will beat you after I enter the NBA, so you keep hitting me, it must be like this, hmph, I will definitely practice three points in the future, and I will show you a three-point contest championship when the time comes."

Zhuang Lin confidently despised Zhuang Fei with his small chest and said, Zhuang Fei made Scarlett on the side laugh directly, while Zhuang Fei smiled helplessly on the side.

The problem of his stupid nephew's tendons and his strong self-confidence that he didn't know where it came from made Zhuang Fei a little speechless.

In fact, this year's All-Star Weekend is a lot colder than last year, after all, Carter, Pierce, Szzerbiak and a group of NBA stars participated in the All-Star Rookie Game last year, it can be said that everyone is very excited, after all, the NBA stopped for a year last year and last year was the first year to restart, and this year's All-Star Rookie Game looks a little star-starry, and even the arena is not full, yesterday Zhuang Fei took his nephew and Scarlett to this arena and saw a large open space, Just like Zhuang Lin said yesterday, there is no all-star atmosphere here, that is, in that extremely cold atmosphere, the All-Star sophomore team slaughtered the first-year team led by Kenyon Martin under the leadership of Ginobili and James Posey and Brand and Francis, and the second-year James Posey won the MVP trophy of the Rookie Challenge with a triple-double, which is also the second consecutive year that Wake Forest players have won this trophy, the last one is Szzebiak, This also allows many teams to see the ability of James Posey, a little Pippen, whether it is offense or defense or scoring, assists, rebounds, there are no shortcomings, although his overall height is not as strong as Pippen, but his all-round is definitely not worse than Pippen.

This also made Zhuang Fei, who was sitting on the sidelines, very happy, James Posey's MVP is the fourth player to win the MVP honor of Wake Forest, which can also be seen from the side Wake Forest, which was known as the strongest team in history, The depth of the players, and now the Wake Forest Five Tigers are only behind Ragapel.

Although yesterday's rookie challenge was cold because of the dim star, today's three-point contest and slam dunk contest will definitely not be cold. In addition to the fact that these two tournaments are the main dishes of the NBA All-Stars in all competitions, the players participating in both tournaments this year are definitely star-studded, and the three-point contestant is Pierce of the Timberwolves. Nash, Jackson. Defending champion Lakers' Szczebiak, supersonic Lashad Lewis and Celtics' Anthony Walker, this time the Timberwolves have three players to sign up, the current NBA three-point shooting percentage and the most shots are Szczebiak, it can be said that this three-point contest is the group of heroes to encircle the defending champion Szczebiak.

In Zhuang Fei's view, the three-point contest has great chance, and no one will think that they can win the championship before the game starts. The same is true for Szczerbiak, who is even more pressured and more likely to stumble because he is the defending champion, which is why many pre-match markets believe that Nash and Szczerbiak have the same odds of winning the title. But after the start of this game, everyone saw a different scene, the Celtics' Anthony Walker was constantly hitting at the beginning, and he shot a super high score of 25 points in the first game, which also tied the record of the highest score of former Bulls player three-time three-point contest champion Hochis, it is obvious that the performance of the Celtics' nerve knife at the beginning made the players who came out behind have great mental fluctuations, especially Nash, who followed Walker, The Timberwolves point guard All-Star caliber pitcher shot an average 15 points, which is a very average score, and Nash probably won't make it to the Finals, as expected. The next few players who played were a little average, Jackson 14 points, Pierce 17 points, Lewis 16 points, until the last Szzczebiak came on the court to suppress the atmosphere generated by Walker, Szzambiak also shot 25 points, when the results came out, Zhuang Fei in the stands obviously felt the boiling of the whole court. …,

"Uncle, these two people are so amazing," Zhuang Lin said as he looked at Walker and Szebiak on the court, and the state of these two people made the boy who vowed to become the 'champion of the three-point shooter' a little amazing.

"yes. Both of them are in good shape today" Zhuang Fei said with a smile, no wonder the Celtics were able to overturn the Lakers away the day before yesterday, this Walker happened to be extremely accurate these days, when Anthony Walker was on time, he was a player no worse than anyone else, and Szczebiak obviously wanted to take revenge in this game, and this year the Lakers were killed by the Celtics made him feel very wronged.

In short, the two men soared, and the Timberwolves player Pierce, who was lucky enough to make it to the finals, was a little embarrassed, and the Timberwolves player who made his first appearance in the finals only threw out 10 points.

And Anthony Walker, who played the second time in the finals, once again set a new record for the highest score in the three-point contest in the exclamation of the fans, this time the score of this nerve knife is 26 points, which is also the highest score in the final of the three-point contest. The previous highest score in the finals was 24 created by the Cavaliers' Mark Price.

"It's amazing" Zhuang Fei looked at Walker who looked at Szzerbiak with some contempt on the field, but Zhuang Fei looked at Szebiak again, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and now Szebiak has entered the state. The outcome of this match is still unknown.

"Uncle, do you say Szczebiak can still win" Zhuang Lin is a Lakers fan who likes Szczebiak in addition to Kobe, and he certainly hopes that Szzambiak can win.

"Of course you can win," Zhuang Fei said with a smile and touched his nephew's head.

It is difficult for Szzambiak to win this game, but he has the ability, and Zhuang Fei is extremely confident in his disciple who has a shooting of 98.

"Hmph, now that I've scored 26 points, I don't believe you can hit them all" Anthony Walker looked at Szebiak's side from the sideline seat and said, he was extremely unhappy with this old opponent, he was also suppressed by him when he was in the NCAA, Szzebiak was the first pitcher in the NCAA, and the NCAA championship was also robbed by him, and this guy still pressed him after arriving in the NBA, although Szczebiak is not the first pitcher now but is still considered better than him, This made Walker, who had been holding back his anger for a long time, want to find an opportunity to take out this old opponent one-on-one, and it was clear that this time was a great opportunity. Anthony Walker was extremely pleased with his results, which were 26 points, the first in history.

Just when Anthony Walker was thinking about what he should say about to lift the championship trophy, he suddenly heard all the fans in the scene actually start counting. And when Anthony Walker looked at Szzebiak, he found that his old opponent had not missed a single shot so far. Now I've hit 15 in a row, and the last time I broke at the 14th.

"He's not going to really hit all, is he?" Anthony Walker was shocked. By the time Szzerbiac hit 20 in a row, he had already risen from his seat, but Anthony Walker was not alone. Zhuang Fei also stood up directly from his seat, while Zhuang Lin on Zhuang Fei's side stood directly on his chair very uncivilized.

"Will it be all hit?" Zhuang Fei was also a little surprised, although he had confidence in Szczebiak, he couldn't believe that anyone could hit all the three-point shots in the All-Star Game, but now Szzambiak has hit 23 goals in a row.

"24 balls hit again" Zhuang Fei's heart tightened again, and at this time everyone looked at the last ball thrown by Szczebiak. The ball landed on the hoop in a beautiful parabola, and then the ball brushed out of the hoop after brushing it twice on the basket.

"Hey"

When the ball came out of the basket, the audience sighed. After the sigh, everyone applauded, and it was clear that the three-point matchup between Szczebiak and Anthony Walker could go down in history. …,

At this time, Zhuang Fei and Zhuang Lin also had some regrets.

"Uncle, I swear that I will be all successful in the future" Zhuang Lin looked at his uncle seriously again and said, this time Zhuang Fei actually did not hit him again but touched his head. This made Zhuang Lin a little surprised.

This is a very thrilling and exciting three-point contest, after this contest Zhuang Fei obviously felt that the atmosphere of the fans on the scene was brought up, and the next slam dunk contest once again carried the expectations of the fans, this time by Larry Hughes, Pierce, Francis, Maddie, Ray Allen The lineup is also luxurious, Pierce, Maddie and Ray Allen are all All-Star players. But these three obviously did not meet the fans' expectations for this slam dunk contest, the absence of the first two slam dunk contest champions Kobe and Carter made this tournament a little dull, and finally in the sigh of many fans, the Celtics' Maddie won the championship with a 360-degree crotch split dunk, which also made the Timberwolves' Pierce hate again.

"Paul is really pitiful," Zhuang Lin said with a sigh as he looked at Pierce on the court. Zhuang Fei on the side shook his head with a smile, he knew that Pierce was not lost now.

For the trio of Zhuang Fei's family, this time in addition to watching the All-Star, it is to travel, Zhuang Fei is indeed too busy this year and rarely has time to spend with his family, so it is impossible to miss the All-Star vacation that he finally got this time, and Zhuang Fei took advantage of this gap to find the head coach of the Wizards, his old assistant D'Antoni, and the general manager of the Wizards, his old friend Michael Jordan, went to have a drink together.

In fact, D'Antoni has had a very unpleasant time with the Wizards after leaving the Timberwolves this season, and the Wizards' current roster is very poor. The team does not have players who meet D'Antoni's tactical system, and for the running of small-ball tactics, there must be a point guard who can break through and quickly divide the ball, such a guard is not easy to find, although the Wizards' veteran point guard Strickland's strength is very good, but it does not meet the requirements, plus the team's leader Juwan Howard is not interested in D'Antoni's tactical system, it can be said that the current D'Antoni is simply embattled, If it weren't for the team's general manager, Jordan, the head coach who currently brings the Wizards to the bottom three in the East, would have been out of class long ago.

In fact, D'Antoni's strength is definitely no problem, after learning by Zhuang Fei's side, many of his abilities are stronger than the D'Antoni in his previous life, just because he didn't meet the right player, Zhuang Fei believes that there will definitely be new changes in the Wizards next season, and the Wizards will definitely change next season.

This meeting with D'Antoni completely turned into a grievance meeting between D'Antoni and Jordan, and Zhuang Fei could only comfort his two friends from the side, and the three of them were all drunk in the end. This also made Zhuang Fei and them almost miss the All-Star Game on February 11

February 11, evening, MIC Arena in Washington.

Today is the finale of the three-day All-Star Weekend, the main game of the East and West All-Stars, this is the first time Zhuang Fei watched the All-Star game in the stands, which also makes Zhuang Fei a little strange, in today's game, the Timberwolves in addition to the three generals and Pierce were also selected as the bench. The Timberwolves have four players and three All-Star Game selections for the second year in a row, which is also a league record, and so far only the Timberwolves have done so.

"Iverson is amazing" Scarlett looked at the small East player on the court and said, the most amazing thing about this game was the 76ers' Iverson, she is a New Yorker, of course she will support the East, the reason why the East was able to bite the score in this game is all because of this small guard.

"Yes, my uncle always said that a short man like me has no future, don't you see that Iverson is also very short" Zhuang Lin said with a dissatisfied face, and at this time Zhuang Fei could only smile bitterly. …,

Iverson did perform extremely strongly in this game, a very important part of the reason is that the defense of him is the Timberwolves' Nash, the coach of the Western All-Stars in this game, Phil Jackson, is too poisonous, all four players of the Timberwolves including Wang Zhizhi stayed on the court in the fourth quarter of the game, and these four people have been playing for more than 30 minutes, it is obvious that this is the coach wants to use this All-Star to consume the physical energy of the Timberwolves players, and this game continues the pattern of last year's serious play, This game was also played seriously by both sides from the beginning, and this kind of physical consumption is definitely not comparable to ordinary games, and now halfway through the fourth quarter, Phil Jackson's three Lakers disciples have all sat on the sidelines and watched, and the four Timberwolves players plus Duncan are the last five of the Western All-Stars.

Although Phil Jackson wants to consume the Timberwolves players, he doesn't want to lose this game, so far the Eastern All-Stars are in a comprehensive weak position under the blocking of Duncan and Garnett's double interior line, and now any player in the league is a little powerless when he encounters this dream four team's interior partner, Duncan and Garnett's double ghost shooting is too strong.

This is true for most players, but at this time Iverson, who was raised out of state by Nash, was not among them, in fact, in the first three quarters of the game, the Western All-Stars have been using their interior advantages to achieve the suppression of the East, but after the game came to the fourth quarter, Iverson suddenly broke out, the score of the two sides at the beginning of the fourth quarter was 80-99, and the East was 19 points behind, but after the start of the fourth quarter, Iverson started his own personal mode, With three minutes left in the game, he scored 22 points and led the Eastern Conference All-Stars to tie the score, and in the final minute of the game, he and the lone wolf Marbury hit two three-pointers in a row to give the Eastern All-Stars a 120-118 victory over the Western All-Stars.

In the first three quarters of this game, Iverson actually had a precursor to an outbreak, after all, Phil Jackson let Nash defend Iverson throughout the game, which simply made Iverson slowly find his touch, and in the fourth quarter, he didn't replace Wang Zhizhi so that there were three big men left on the court of the Western All-Stars, although the movement speed of the three was not slow, but in the face of Marbury, Iverson and Maddy's speed flow This lineup is extremely disadvantaged, and the most speechless thing for Zhuang Fei is that Eastern head coach Larry Brown really dares to use Iverson like this, Although the 76ers are ranked first in the East, the gap between the Heat and them is not big, and they may catch up at any time, Mourning has been sitting off the court in this game, it is obvious that he wants to stay, and Larry Brown is good, let Iverson play alone for 40 minutes, but with Zhuang Fei's understanding of Brown, he is not such an ignorant head coach, it is very likely that Iverson himself wants to play.

However, although the game was reversed in the West with the form and lineup superior, there was no doubt that it was an Iverson solo show, a solo show that singled out the Western leaders.

So the MVP of this game was also awarded to Iverson, who scored 45 points, and Iverson also won his first All-Star MVP trophy. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to (.) to vote for recommendation, monthly pass, your support is my biggest motivation. )
