Rebirth of Hayes Cyclone

Chapter 208 [One-sided All-Star Game]

After two days of laying the groundwork, the All-Star Game is finally about to start.Before the game time, fans had already poured into the arena.It is also very interesting to watch the stars train. This All-Star Weekend did not have an All-Star dance scene. Maybe Hayes will improvise during training?

Yao Ming is practicing three-pointers, he dare not play in normal games, but in the All-Star game, he wants to show it.Last season, he made three three-pointers in a single game.

Howard and Wade performed dunks, feasting the eyes of the audience who hadn't watched the slam dunk contest yesterday.

The western stars were much quieter.Iverson, Garnett, Duncan and others are all veterans, and they were very quiet before the game.Nowitzki's All-Star Game has always been soy sauce, and he seems to have no energy.Western Conference ticket king Kobe Bryant has a finger injury.His finger injury is a hidden danger. Originally, the Lakers hoped that Kobe would rest and find a substitute to play, but the league rejected the request of the Lakers. It makes no sense for you to be able to play in the regular season but not to be an All-Star!Without Kobe, the All-Stars would not be exciting.League executives asked Kobe to either play or accept a one-game suspension.Forcing him to go through the motions.

The fact is true, no matter where Kobe goes, fans in New Orleans will flock to him, screaming, shouting, asking for autographs and group photos.Although he was sitting off the court, many fans shouted his name.

In this game, Hayes felt that the East should be easily won.Without Kobe in the west, the star strength is also much worse than that in the east.Especially inside, Duncan is more like a center than Stoudemire.Hayes practiced for a while, sat off the court and watched the court quietly in a daze.

LeBron James sat next to Hayes and asked, "Why don't you practice anymore?"

"You guys make the fans happy by dunking. I'm going down to take three slow steps to spoil the scenery. In fact, you should also participate in the dunk contest." Hayes said lightly.

"It's hard to come up with new ideas for dunks now, and SB can do what I can do," James said.

"What?"

"I mean Shannon Brown," James explained.

Shannon Brown's English name is Shanon Brown, and Cavaliers players like to use the first two letters SB as an abbreviation to call him.poor guy.

James' dunks regularly top 10, but until 2010, he did not participate in a dunk contest.Hayes was quite disappointed about this in his previous life. Later, James transferred to the Heat, and Hayes began to think that he was a person who liked to escape.

If he participates in the slam dunk contest, James might be able to win a slam dunk contest, because in recent years, the slam dunk contest has become less and less creative. If James can follow the hearts of the people to participate in this competition, then he is very likely to use this to capture the hearts of the people .The reason James gave was "I don't want others to think I'm just a dunker."Jordan, Kobe, Barkley, and Drexler have all participated in the slam dunk contest. How come they haven't worried about being dunked by others?
What James really worries about is failure.He's just running away, which also leads to the fact that he may never be able to surpass some legends.Jordan is also a tribute to the contestants over the years. The iconic trapeze action at the free throw line is a classic that will be reproduced in every competition.Kobe's 97 slam dunk contest was known as the lowest level, but Kobe, an unknown rookie at the time, at least dared to try.

The two chatted a few words.James spoke as if he wanted to defeat Hayes and kill the Bobcats as his lifelong goal.Get Hayes very embarrassed.

In 20 minutes, the All-Star game will begin.

The jazz in New Orleans is famous all over the world. In order to highlight the local characteristics, the organizers turned the appearance ceremony into a jazz performance.In the eyes of foreign friends who don't understand jazz and watch the live broadcast, this is more like a circus performance, slightly chaotic.

Stars from the east and the west appeared one after another.When Western coach Scott, defender Paul, West and others played, they received the most applause because this is their home court.

The debut ceremony was very lively, but when the players took off their jackets, they revealed their jerseys that were indistinguishable from friend and foe.The audience felt a little dizzy.

The reasonable words of Zhaoting 5 expressed the aspirations of most fans. "The design of this jersey is too unreasonable. Why do they look the same? Who designed this jersey? Who the hell?!"

The jersey design for the New Orleans All-Star Game really failed.Perhaps it is intentional to keep up with the trend and adapt to the player configuration, perhaps because many Eastern players have participated in the World Championships and America's Cup, so the eastern uniform design is blue and white, similar to the uniform of the US national team.The bad thing is that in order to cater to the main colors of gold and white in this year's fashion industry, the western jerseys are designed as yellow and white with white on the front and gold on the back.It's hard to tell.

In Go, if both sides use white pieces, then there is no need to compete.But basketball is different, so even though the players feel uncomfortable, the game still has to be played.Just a little more mistakes.

Eastern starters: Yao Ming, Hayes, James, Joe Johnson, Kidd.

Western starters: Stoudemire, Garnett, Anthony, Kobe, Iverson.

The East team came up to play mainly Yao Ming, which was not the arrangement of the head coach.Although Mike Woodson and Byron Scott are coaches in name, they don't really arrange tactics for anyone, they just let the stars perform by themselves.The players took the initiative to pass it on to Yao Ming because no matter what clothes Yao Ming wore, he could not be mistaken.

James and Hayes are relatively similar in size.At 5 minutes into the first quarter, Kidd saw the opportunity and threw the ball into the sky, only to find that "James" who cut the baseline did not jump, and watched helplessly as the basketball hit the backboard and bounced back to Gane In the special hands, the West counterattacked and Iverson made a dunk.

"Chuck, can you take off the headband? I think you're LeBron." Kidd said helplessly to Hayes.

Hayes casually tossed the headband into the audience.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Lili said: "It seems that Kidd saw the wrong person just now. Hayes took off the headband and sent it to the audience. Why didn't James take off the headband?"

Yu Jia laughed and said, "Have you ever seen James without a headband on the court? The headband has become one of his symbols, just like Monkey King's magic spell. If you take it off, you will feel that there is something missing on his forehead."

Zhang Lili said: "This year's All-Star jersey design has failed too much. The players of the two teams have been a little absent-minded for a few minutes. Kobe left the game without scoring a point."

"Kobe is here to play soy sauce, not to play ball." Yu Jia said.

The jersey has a big impact on the game.There were only 4 dunks in the entire first quarter. The game lacked passionate collisions and sparks, and the fans watched drowsily.

Such a game is not a real NBA All-Star Game.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Warcraft Howard received a pass from Hayes, and a vigorous dunk with both hands brought a little passion to the game.

Yu Jia said: "Finally there was a beautiful goal. Howard hid his head from the basket and dunked the ball in. He even greeted the audience in the air, 'Fans on the third floor, how are you?'"

Hayes sat on the bench, too lazy to look at the field.Because of the jersey problem, today's field lacked a lot of exciting cooperation.

"I don't pass the ball out. I can't tell who is who with this jersey. It caused me to make continuous mistakes." Yao Ming sat next to Hayes and complained.He had already made three turnovers in the first quarter.

"Yao, Kidd is white, you passed directly to Iverson twice..." Hayes said.

"Can I find a way to go down? Don't be so blunt." Yao Ming said with a wry smile, "You were the one who made a big splash in the Skills Challenge yesterday, but Ye Li was very envious of Gao Tongxuan and told me to work hard to win the All-Star MVP." , to make her happy too, it's too hard for me."

"No wonder Joe kept passing the ball to you. I heard you have to go back and kneel to the computer motherboard if you can't get the MVP?" Hayes laughed.

"..." Yao Ming was speechless.

"You try your best to score. I'll pass the ball to you. I won't do anything but grab rebounds when I play again." Hayes said to Yao Ming again.In this game, almost all players played singles after catching the ball, and he felt very boring.In fact, he played blue-collar in the first quarter, scoring only 2 points and grabbing 7 rebounds.

When he was sent to the court again, Hayes continued to be a blue-collar worker, grabbing backboards again and again, and handing them over to Wade and James to launch a fast break.

In the long and tedious first three quarters of the game, the elites from the East wantonly ravaged the basket belonging to the West.Wade sent the fire of the regular season to the All-Star Game; Yao Ming, who collected data for his wife, also used jump shots to tear up the defense of the West; Warcraft from Orlando also staged dunks many times; Ray Allen staged many times. Good show, with 24 points, the highest in the Eastern Conference; but James played the best, unknowingly he is only one step away from the triple-double record created by Jordan.

The West Stars didn't put up any decent resistance.Duncan, an idiot, was selected as a substitute for the All-Star this time, and he did the trick work with peace of mind; Kobe Bryant, who only played for 2 minutes, needless to say; Iverson and Garnett obviously wanted to Conserving his energy for the regular season, he didn't play hard enough; even Nash, who had high hopes on the bench, performed disappointingly. The assist king was dazzled by the jersey today.

Throughout the first three quarters, the only thing that can arouse the audience's interest is whether James, who has already got 8 rebounds and 8 assists, can contribute to the second triple-double in the history of the All-Star Game except for several dunks by Howard.

Zhang Lili said: "The current league structure is that the west looks at the team, and the east looks at the stars. This year's All-Star Game has an obvious advantage in the east. Yao Ming played well today, scoring 18 points and 14 rebounds in 5 minutes, but in the second half Yao Ming Only played 4 minutes, the Eastern Conference coach is Woodson of the Eagles, he may want to save the physical strength of Yao Ming and Joe Johnson, and will not let them play more."

Yu Jia said: "James may get a triple-double in this game, but Hayes also grabbed 18 rebounds in three quarters. It's terrible for these two people to be on the same team. Poor Queen Bee Paul, he definitely wants to win the MVP at home, he has sent 16 points and 9 assists, but the West wants to win now, unless there is no edge, heaven and earth..." (Yu Jia, are you crazy?)
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the scoreboard prominently showed 112 to 91, a score that made Paul feel ashamed.

Before the start of the game, although everyone knew that New Orleans was the home of the Hornets, when considering who would become the ruler of the All-Star Game, most people excluded Paul's name.Although the Hornets have soared this season and occupied the first place in the Western Conference, Nash, who was defeated by Paul twice this season, is still the first choice for point guards in the Western Conference. Paul will not be considered as the one who can lead the Western Conference to turn the tide. people.

In the last quarter, Paul, who was dedicated to defending the home court, tried his best.He assisted Stoudemire to score dunks many times, and he also scored 8 points in a single quarter with several successful breakthroughs.However, his outstanding performance could not stop the joint impact of the eastern stars.

Those who get inside win the world, and those who control the rebounds control the game.The East's inside advantage is too great, and the West is powerless.The final score was 143 to 128, and the East won a big victory!
