Chapter 1515 The Light that Cannot Be Concealed Even on the Sidelines
This All-Star Weekend has once again made reforms based on the original. In addition to hosting the first wheelchair basketball game yesterday in order to raise people's attention to sports for people with disabilities, the entire Dallas has turned into a basketball this weekend. city.
Whether it is a longer fan carnival or a richer interactive program, it undoubtedly shows Stern’s ambition. He has been committed to making the NBA have greater social influence. The popularity of the NBA in the past two seasons has made him Seeing the hope of pushing the NBA to another level before retiring, this All-Star class can be called the one with the most publicity and investment since the new century.
The fan carnival brings a lot of fun to basketball fans, and various platform activities and promotions are also good.
However, the embarrassing thing is that there are really too many injuries to the stars, which directly weakens the promotional effect of this session a lot.
In the community care activity in the morning, Kobe, Roy, Rose, Paul and others in suits and ties formed the most beautiful scenery. Some fans joked: "The great gods on the injury list can form a team and compete with things." I will attack the Three Kingdoms and kill them all."
Therefore, even if the Masters Game in the afternoon is very successful, it is not difficult to cover up an embarrassing fact of this All-Star Game, that is, compared with other activities, the attention of the official game did not meet the league's expectations. No matter how good the Masters Game is, attention will be paid to it. No matter how high the speed is, the effect on the entire league will be very limited, and the real results will still have to be seen in official competitions.
You must know that for this game, Dallas has moved the main game venue to AT&T Stadium, the home of the Dallas Cowboys.
It was a super stadium with a capacity of 100,000 people. It would be embarrassing if it failed to achieve the expected results.
So tonight at the American Airlines Center, David Stern unexpectedly appeared at the scene in person, which shows how much he attaches importance to this rookie game held at the American Airlines Center Arena.
6pm!
The stadium was already full of spectators, and players from both sides were warming up on both sides. However, it was not the players on the field that attracted the most attention, but Ji Feng sitting on the sidelines.
I saw Da Ma Jin Dao sitting on the sidelines, surrounded by a large number of reporters, with guns and cannons surrounding three floors inside and three floors outside. This treatment made the CCTV reporter who wanted to do an exclusive interview for Ji Feng secretly smacked his lips. It's just that I came a step late, and in the end I missed the whole world...
Half an hour later, the two sides returned to the locker room to make final preparations before the court. Ji Feng did not return to the locker room until Curry and the others had changed their clothes and arranged their protective gear.
"Coach Feng, is the interview over?" Harden came over and said with envy. In the entire rookie game, no one had done more interviews than Ji Feng alone, and there was an endless stream of people who were sitting there visiting Ji Feng. , celebrities I knew and didn’t know greeted Ji Feng one after another. This is the winner in life.
"Well, it's over. By the way, how are you prepared? It's time to go out." Ji Feng turned around and said.
Everyone: "Ready!"
"OK, tonight belongs to you!"
…
"Okay, audience friends, the 2010 All-Star Rookie Game is about to begin, and both parties have completed their appearance ceremonies."
"Tonight's starters, first-year team: center Blair, power forward... Harden? Small forward Evans, shooting guard Jennings, point guard Curry!"
"Second year, center Lopez, power forward Love, small forward Beasley, guard Mayo plus Westbrook!"
When Yu Jia introduced the first-year lineup, he almost felt that his glasses were broken, because he clearly saw Harden's name at the power forward position, but he did not complain immediately due to his long-term professionalism.
But after talking about the starters of the two teams, he couldn't bear it anymore. He directly asked Coach Zhang: "Coach Zhang, this first-year lineup is a bit strange."
"Haha, yes, one senior and four juniors are equal to four guards. Except for Blair, strictly speaking, everyone else can play guard. Although Evans can swing, he still mainly plays guard. This is really amazing. What a special lineup, Ji Feng has prepared a surprise for everyone." Director Zhang didn't think it was wrong. It was an entertainment game. I had never seen any lineup before. Last year, the five major players played against the five minor players. I still remember it clearly.
The first-year center and four guards also attracted the attention of the neighbors. Beasley walked coquettishly and shouted to them: "Hey, have you given up? Then leave quickly, buddy." Give you a break!”
Naturally, the first grader chose to ignore Beasley's provocation. Curry glanced at him calmly, and then Shi Shiran left.
"Do it." Beasley, who was ignored, cursed secretly, determined to give them some color for a while.
But after the opening, Beasley knew that he was really too young...
jump ball.
Although this guy Blair is only a second-round pick, his ability to gain a foothold in the Spurs relies on his body. 201 played as Duncan's substitute. How could it be possible without some ability? At least Lopez, a tall man, was given the ball by Blair.
The second grader didn't care at first, but after landing, Blair started to fork forward. What's even crazier is that after the ball was given to Curry, the first grader was like a wild horse, rushing to the frontcourt instantly.
Blair directly used the three-point line pick-and-roll. After Curry bypassed it, he directly threw a three-pointer. Mayo didn't defend. After all, it was an exhibition game and he didn't know how to defend, so he just let it go!
The ball goes in!
Hit a three-pointer in the opening game.
It's the second grade's turn to attack. The first grade's defensive strategy is very simple, that is, don't defend very much and let them shoot.
Beasley also wanted to return one, but the three-pointer was a direct hit, making Westbrook who was passing the ball want to chop off his own hand to let you pass the ball!
Black, who averaged 9 rebounds in 20 minutes per game, was naturally not polite and took the rebound and gave it to Jennings.
Jennings was still in the Ritian era at this time. He quickly went to the frontcourt and made a three-point jumper directly, and scored again!
Two consecutive three-pointers at the beginning also made the audience applaud.
After being shot twice in a row, the second grader became anxious. Westbrook rushed forward with the ball, wanting to eat Evans alive. But to be honest, as a guy who averaged 20+10 points per game this season, Evans has almost already Booked for the Rookie of the Year Award, his physical fitness is absolutely top-notch, and Westbrook regrets that he failed to make a breakthrough.
Blair added another rebound and passed it to Harden. This time the sophomore finally returned to defense, but Harden also raised his hand and shot a three-pointer. Although he didn't score, Blair forced Lopez to collect the rebound and passed it casually.
Curry catches the ball and shoots again!
Hit again!
Then the second-grade team hit the iron again. This time the basketball hit far enough. Mayo's standard operation, Curry cleverly protected the backcourt rebound. The moment the elementary school student grabbed the rebound, all the members of the first-grade team instantly Transformed into a track and field player and rushed directly to the sophomore half!
How fast is it? Just ask Lopez, who is bleeding quickly...
Curry passed the ball in the frontcourt, and Harden did not take action immediately this time. Instead, he faked a European step and went inside to score a goal.
Starting 11-0, the first graders took the lead!
