You should cross the mountains like a brave man

Chapter 398 The Most Selfless Second Grader
From the first day of All-Star Weekend, Wesha hated it.

Perhaps, the All-Star weekend in the middle of the regular season in the 60s is better.

At least that kind of competition is serious and serious, no one will smile, bluff, and just play tricks to amuse the audience.

The first day of the All-Star is a single event and rookie challenge.

Wei Xia didn't participate in any individual events, and, for the results of the individual events—yes, it was the skill challenge where he dribbled around and didn't know what he was putting.

It's the skill challenge where a bunch of top players are running around dribbling the ball, maybe because of nervousness or other weird reasons, they can't pass the ball in the hole and fail.

It is the skill challenge that superficially tests the players' airlifting ability and passing ability, and finally ensures that the players make three-pointers at the top of the arc to lock the championship.

Rather than watching this boring game, he would rather find a place to sleep or close his eyes to rest.

Also, he's not interested in the three-point contest, unless someone can beat Michael Jordan's record.

However, as role players become increasingly sophisticated in outside shooting, the possibility of breaking Jordan's record is getting lower and lower.Therefore, Jordan's record in the three-point contest may become a record that will never be broken, just like Chamberlain's 100 points in a single game.

And to be honest, although no one can surpass Jordan in the short term.But if the NBA introduces something like a four-pointer in the future, then the basketball at that time will be completely different from the basketball we see now.

Different rules, different people, different data, maybe all the regular records Jordan left in NBA history will be broken.

But his record for the lowest three-point contest, yes, may stay there forever, for people to look up to because the player's shooting ability continues to evolve-like this "once, there was a god in the league."

In the end, Wei Xia likes dunking very much, but he doesn't look forward to the dunk contest at all.

In the beginning, the slam dunk contest should allow the most refined people to shout out the novelty of "Limara is a dick that smashes the ball and the **** can be dunked like this?", but now it makes the audience feel dull and boring like "I already know, you fucking finish dunking so I can applaud".It's not that he looks down on dunkers in today's league, it's that there is no such exciting performer as Vince Carter in today's league.

So he is not interested in the dunk contest, unless he wants to participate.

But before watching these boring individual events start, he has to play another meaningless game-the Rookie Challenge, where he participated as a second-year All-Star.

During the game, his unselfishness was rare.His decisive attack was barely visible, as if a throw could kill him.

In the seven minutes between his appearance and his replacement, he had four rebounds, two assists and no field goal attempts.

The commentator can always find "Angle" for the game overview like a big Sima playing billiards: "Wish knows that he no longer needs to prove himself through his performance in the Rookie Challenge, and we expect him to become more selfless."

Want to see Wei Xia more selfless?It's not difficult at all.

Wei Xia has decided that he will fight for another title, "The Most Selfless Second Grader".How to prove that he is selfless?The best way is not to attack, not even a single shot, not even a single shot.

The game went off the rails, and teammates wanted to thank him for his unselfishness.

They took the initiative to call a tactic to let Wei Xia run out of opportunities.

Then, ignoring his opening, he dribbled into the crowded lane and managed to get the ball inside through the crowd.

"Oh, my God! Wish's selflessness is beyond our imagination. He can shoot, he really can. But he still creates better opportunities through breakthroughs. He is really a selfless person to the extreme!"

"What a bunch of idiots!" Kobe, who was watching the game, shook his head again and again, "Can't they see that this bastard is not even willing to shoot?"

It didn't take long for them to see it.

The Rookie Challenge was originally a stage for each to fight on their own, and Wei Xia's "selflessness" infected his teammates.The passing of the ball in the second grade has increased, and the mutual support seems more like a team, rather than a temporary formation of stragglers.

They completed an excellent defense one after another, making sure that no one stood in front of Wei Xia on the way to counter the fast break.In this way, they can pass the ball to Weixia and let him complete the fast break.

The results of it?Wei Xia exposed!
He rushed to the frontcourt and threw the ball over the backboard, allowing teammates behind him who had no chance to score at all to catch the ball and score a layup.

"Uh... Has Wish reached an agreement not to score with someone?"

It's not too late to know now. If the commentator can't see it, Kobe will seriously doubt whether their IQ is a problem.

The teammates who realized that Wei Xia might not shoot a single ball today never passed him the ball again.

In the end, Wei Xia played 30 minutes.

Selfless 0 points, 0 shots, 0 free throws - this data is very important, only zero shots and zero free throws can prove that this player has never had any offense in a game.

Although he didn't make a single shot, Wei Xia's other data is objective.

11篮板8助攻4抢断1盖帽，全面的数据，要是有人故意打个哑谜:韦夏今天得到11+8+4+1，请问哪个是得分？哪个是篮板？哪个是助攻？哪个是盖帽或者抢断？
Presumably it is impossible for any fan who does not watch the game to guess the correct answer.

He didn't take a single shot, didn't score any points, and still got headlines and a lot of media attention that night.

The reporter asked him: "Why do you insist on getting zero points?"

"Because Gilbert invited me to dinner yesterday to pay tribute to him." Wei Xia said wittily.

Then the reporter realized he was joking: "Any other reasons?"

"If you insist on saying something, it should be related to Kobe."

Kobe, who hadn't met Wei Xia since the victory over the Spurs, lay down innocently.

"Since the beginning of the season, Kobe has been trying to prove to us that he can also play unselfishly. Well, we have all seen his performance. I believe that you are as unaccustomed to this Kobe as I am. So I hope to show him what is truly unselfish. If he can't endure a whole game like me, if he can't control his desire to score, then just be yourself, that Kobe who takes 30 shots a night is more suitable for him."

Wei Xia's words spread to Kobe, and he protested frankly: "Damn, that bastard is talking nonsense again! I never had a '30 shots per night' season!"

Next, Wei Xia can enjoy his "vacation" time with peace of mind.

He doesn't care about those stupid stakes who dribble past at skill contests.It doesn't matter who is lucky enough to put the ball in the hole in one shot, and it doesn't matter how those guys with inconsistent shots can lock up the title of "the fastest man in the league" by hitting a ball from the top of the arc.

Then again, he doesn't care about all the shooters who can't beat Jordan's record.

Unless they can leave behind an exciting legend like Larry Bird.

The final slam dunk contest was as boring as imagined.

Gerald Green dunked the only full-score dunk in the game. Michael Jordan’s high standard has been criticized a lot, but anyone who really cares about the slam dunk contest knows that if you don’t set the full-score standard a bit higher and see a dunk just like Kenny Smith reaching an orgasm and screaming “Old man, you win”, then the pinnacle of this great traditional event will always stay in 2000, which belongs to Vince Carter.

At the end of the slam dunk contest, Wei Xia signed autographs for fans outside the arena.

He didn't congregate in the arena to boo like other All-Stars.

By the end of the dunk contest, more than 200 fans got his autograph.Each of them had bright smiles on their faces.

If he stayed in and watched those boring dunks, the result would not change much.

He may be affected by the scene, just like the difference between watching a comedy at home and watching a comedy in a movie theater-he will be driven by the audience on the spot, but he still will not feel happy.

Here, he signed autographs for more than 200 fans.Their smiles made Wei Xia feel great satisfaction.He made more than 200 people happy at the cost of missing the Slam Dunk Contest that he could go home and watch reruns.

As soon as the slam dunk contest is over, the highlight of the All-Star Weekend begins with the All-Star Game.

Wei Xia is one of the All-Stars with the lowest number of votes.

He sits at the end of the bench and watches the game.

Not long ago, he experienced the All-Star Game in the 60s, and he had the opportunity to watch and compare the All-Stars of two different eras up close.

The result was as he expected.

The All-Star Game in the 60s had no performance elements, and everyone played the game as a regular season. Since the 80s, the league has made its debut with black and white duo, and insists on making the league a popular league that is suitable for all ages and is harmless to humans and animals. Naturally, the All-Star Weekend must be well utilized, and various events emerge in endlessly.

However, the All-Star Game at that time was still played more seriously, because the gimmicks of the magician and Bird itself revolved around the word "enemy".

The loosening of the All-Star Game is something that happened after the 90s.

Halfway through the second quarter, Wei Xia got the chance to play.

Then, within a few minutes of playing, he was replaced.

The rest of the second half was nothing more than that, and he didn't have much enthusiasm for acting, because the protagonist of the night was Kobe.

McGrady, who kept saying that he wanted to grab the MVP, became Kobe's green leaf.

Under the cheers of the audience, Kobe led the Western Stars to defeat the Eastern Stars and won the amvp trophy as expected.
