NBA opening draw to twilight Shaquille O'Neal

Chapter 210 The winner of the skill competition
After a perfunctory conclusion of his acceptance speech and another wave of interviews, Wang Zelin returned to the locker room to take a shower, and was going to go back to the hotel with Lillard and Will Patton to rest.

As soon as he arrived at the door, a familiar figure came into view.

"LeBron, you haven't left yet..."

After the rookie game, many big names who came to watch, such as Wade, Anthony, Paul and others, have left the arena.

The third of the four Banana Boat brothers has left. Wang Zelin thought that James would also leave, but this guy is still here.

"Wang, congratulations on winning the rookie game MVP!"

James walked in on his own, staring eagerly at Wang Zelin's rookie MVP trophy.

"...I didn't say that, but you have three regular season MVP trophies and one FMVP trophy. What is a mere rookie MVP trophy to you?"

Wang Zelin looked at James who put his hand on his trophy and rubbed it repeatedly.

"That's different," James reluctantly returned the trophy to Wang Zelin, and said, "For every NBA player, there are only two chances to compete for the rookie MVP trophy in his career. The commemorative significance is so great...I have never won it, alas!"

"Hey, LeBron, you didn't win the rookie game MVP?"

In Wang Zelin's impression, apart from a very few superstars like Kobe who came off the bench slowly, like James, who has attracted much attention since his debut, wouldn't it be enough to have the MVP of the rookie game?
He is very clear: this thick-eyed guy in front of him will really have 4 regular season MVPs and 4 finals MVP trophies in the future... All-star MVP Wang Zelin really has no impression.

After all, for a historical superstar like James who is dedicated to chasing the figure of the basketball god, only the top honors can really add points, and the All-Star MVP is obviously not enough.

"If I remember correctly, the MVP winner of that year's rookie game was Carmelo Anthony!"

Then Aldridge said.

"Oh……"

Then there's nothing wrong with it.

When James and Anthony first debuted, they were hailed as the peerless twins of the 03 generation. The outside world compared them to an old enemy in their careers, including themselves.

If it weren't for Anthony's constant disputes outside the court, his impression points in the hearts of the Utah people would be greatly reduced, which would lead to a weakening of the support given by the league...

Generally speaking, Melon was really fierce when he debuted!
After speaking with emotion in his heart, James explained the reason to everyone.

In order to celebrate Wang Zelin's record-breaking nomination for the MVP of the rookie game, James has already found a venue and is going to invite everyone to go out happy!

The Four Banana Boat Brothers are also known as the Four Wind and Dust Heroes!

The NBA can also be regarded as a river and lake, and the rivers and lakes have always had only wrong names and no wrong nicknames... No one really thinks that James doesn't like to play, right?
It's just that his public relations are better than 99% of the players in the league!

Considering that tomorrow is an entertainment game like tricks, three-pointers, and slam dunks, the day after tomorrow, which is the 18th, will not be the main game.

Therefore, Wang Zelin wanted to go out and have fun from the bottom of his heart.

We all know athletes are notoriously high energy!
The only problem now is that Lillard will participate in the skills competition tomorrow. In my impression, Lillard finally defeated all the fierce players with a time of 29.8 seconds and successfully won the championship.

At least as far as the original history is concerned, the All-Star Skills Championship can be regarded as a small honor that Lillard can get.

Although it is a bit reluctant, mosquito legs are also legs!

Not everyone is like James, surrounded by a bunch of top honors, even the All-Star MVP can only be called so-so.

"Damien, are you going?"

Wang Zelin turned his head and asked.

If Lillard doesn't go, then he can only say sorry to James.

"Go, why not go?"

Lillard was confused by the question.

In his opinion, Wang Zelin deserved to celebrate when he won the MVP of the new game.

"Don't you have a skills competition tomorrow?"

"You were worried about this." Lillard glanced at Wang Zelin quite moved, "It's okay, it's just an entertainment game, it doesn't matter whether you win or lose..."

Okay, the righteous master has no objection, so naturally Wang Zelin can't say anything.

About 10 minutes or so, James drove everyone to the destination.

After getting off.

"king!"

Follow the sound ~ Klay Thompson.

"Clay, I didn't expect you to be here..."

Looking around for a week, Wang Zelin suddenly found that the players participating in the rookie game were basically there.

em, except for Kyrie Irving and his younger brothers.

However, it is also understandable that Irving at this stage is thinking about revitalizing Kecheng, surpassing James, and becoming a new symbol of Kecheng.

Owen believes that if he agrees to come to the party, let alone embarrassment, he feels in his heart that he will bow to James.

Wang Zelin had to sigh with emotion that James has a wide network of contacts, and he is really a brother wherever he goes!

……

17 am on the 7th.

After fighting all night, Wang Zelin pushed away the [-]th-line Hollywood actresses who couldn't name them, and left after washing up.

It's not that he doesn't want to do morning exercises. Last night's cross-country battle did give him some insight, but he hasn't forgotten that 9:30 in the morning is the start time of the skills competition.

Back at the hotel, Wang Zelin ran into Lillard who was eating breakfast. The two finished eating together and drove to the Toyota Center.

At 9:30, the All-Star Game Skills Challenge officially started.

Yo, and old acquaintances!
"Lin, long time no see!"

Although he knows that Jeremy Lin's English name is Jeremy Lin, Wang Zelin still prefers to call him by his last name.

"Wang, congratulations on getting the MVP!" Jeremy Lin said enviously.

"Dididi, the rookie competition is about to start, please enter the field as soon as possible!"

The host's voice came suddenly, and Wang Zelin and Jeremy Lin ended their greetings.

"come on!"

"Thank you!"

At the same time, the list of 2013 players participating in the 6 All-Star Skills Challenge was exported on the big screen.

and Tony Parker of the defending champion Spurs
Compared with 12, the star power of this skills challenge has declined. Last year, the participating players included Rondo, Deron Williams, Irving, Westbrook and many other All-Star players.

In the end, the French sports car, which overwhelmed the crowd and won the championship, undoubtedly became the No. [-] championship seed in Tianzi.

Jeremy Lin of the Mosaic team was the second most vocal.

Especially after Wang Zelin won the rookie game MVP yesterday, another Jeremy Lin, who is also of yellow race, got a lot of attention for no reason at the All-Star Weekend.

After the skills competition started.

First up was Jeff Teague.

Perhaps because it was his first time participating, Jeff Teague wasted a lot of time in the passing session, and then when it came to the layup session, the starting point guard of a dignified NBA team actually failed to make a layup, which really made everyone dumbfounded.

A fan: Another day closest to the NBA.

In the end, Jeff Teague returned to the rest area dejectedly in 49.4 seconds.

With this kind of result, it is certain to be out.

The second to appear was Brandon Knight.

Knight played only a handful of minutes in the Rookie Challenge yesterday, and his performance was extremely mediocre. In order to avenge his shame, Knight tried his best, and the final time was 32.2 seconds.

The No.2 player's time was nearly 1 seconds longer than No.20's, which cheered up the sleepy fans. Knighton's time was even better than Tony Parker's 32.8 seconds to win the championship last year.

Finally something to watch.

The third player to play was Holiday, who performed even better, taking 29.3 seconds.

"Holiday! Come on!"

There were bursts of cheers on the field, being able to cut into 30 seconds, and gradually winning Ledi's excellence.

"Hahaha!"

Holiday couldn't help laughing out loud, he himself didn't expect to be in such a good state today.

Into the final ~ steady!

Holliday thought so.

"Friends from the audience, the fourth player in the Skills Challenge must be familiar to everyone. He is Jeremy Lin, the head guard of the Mosaic team..."

When Jeremy Lin appeared on the field, the commentator of Tianchao Sports Station, who was broadcasting the game, suddenly became energetic and his voice became much louder.

"Brother Hao, come on!"

"Brother Hao is the most handsome!"

"I want to give birth to a monkey for Brother Hao!"

At the same time, the Chinese fans who were watching the preseason games through other channels started swiping their screens on the message boards.

It is rare for an Asian guard to appear in the NBA, which is naturally attractive to Chinese fans, let alone the "Linsanity" that Jeremy Lin started not long ago.

If it weren't for his mediocre personal data, Jeremy Lin might have been selected for the All-Star Game this year.

But next, Jeremy Lin's performance explained what it means... If you are hot, you will die!
At the beginning, Jeremy Lin's rhythm was great. After bypassing three obstacles, CIC took three chances to hit, which was a fatal mistake.

In the end, Jeremy Lin took 35.8 seconds, currently ranked second to last, and missed the final.

"Ugh!"

Jeremy Lin pulled his jersey angrily, and returned to the rest area very unwillingly.

It was obviously not like this during training yesterday.

How did you get to the scene...

After Jeremy Lin, the Skills Challenge won the climax of the game.

Like several previous players, Lillard, who participated in the Skills Challenge for the first time, showed his calm demeanor. It took only 28:8 seconds to directly lock a place in the final.

"Dude, I knew you could do it, work harder, you will be the champion of the skills competition!"

Wang Zelin rushed onto the stage excitedly, rubbing Lillard's small cut head fiercely.

"Hey hey man, stop your bad moves!"

When Lillard, who is so cold, encountered such embarrassment in public, he shamefully slapped Wang Zelin's big hand off.

After the joy, the pressure came to defending champion Tony Parker.

"call!"

A close-up was given to Tony Parker, who let out a sigh of relief and started acting.

The results were disappointing.

Everyone could see that Tony Parker wanted to win too much.

But this is also normal. If the defending is successful, Tony Parker will become the second player to win two consecutive championships in the Skills Challenge since the 21st century.

The first one is Wade the Flash. In 06, Wade won the skills competition in the third grade, and later won the MVP of the finals!

In 07, Wade successfully defended his title in the skills game, proving that The Flash deserved his name.

But then it was embarrassing again.

Wade, who was preparing for three consecutive championships in 08, missed consecutive shots due to dribbling errors, and finally took 53.09 seconds to complete all the projects.

In this regard, Wade set a new historical record - the worst result in the history of skills competition.

With Wade's lessons learned, Tony Parker's overturning behavior will not be taken seriously.

As long as it doesn't refresh Wade's worst record!
"It's unbelievable that defending champion Tony Parker finished second to last..."

Narrator David Middle nearly laughed out loud.

"So, first of all, we would like to congratulate Holiday of the 75ers and Lillard of the Trail Blazers, congratulations on their success in the finals, and then comes the most exciting moment of the preseason, who will be the final champion?"

After a short break, Holiday, who was less successful, took the lead.

"Come on kid, if you win, I'll give you a car!"

Iverson, who was sitting in the front row, stood up, and a hip-hop outfit directly became the focus of the audience.

As the champion of the 96 golden generation, Allen Iverson's career is undoubtedly great, and it is also embarrassing.

Since the end of his career in the Turkish League in 11 years, Iverson has gradually dimmed the basketball world and is infinitely close to the edge of retirement.

But as long as this man appears on the stage, he can instantly become the focus of the audience.

"I accepted your gift in advance, Allen!" Facing the encouragement of his idol, Holiday smiled confidently, as if the champion was close at hand.

Iverson's episode ignited the atmosphere of the audience.

Soon it was time for the game to start.

"The final has officially begun. The first contestant to appear is: Zhu~Holiday!!!"

Holiday held the ball, dribbled steadily over obstacles, and became faster and faster. He dribbled the ball under his crotch and turned back and forth. The rhythm was very coherent. The final stopwatch stopped at 28 seconds.

A large group of fans at the scene exclaimed "wow", and Lillard's 28.8 seconds in the first round of the game was actually surpassed.

After a while, the host's voice sounded.

"It's unbelievable, more outstanding results have appeared, maybe this is the charm of sports competition, constantly surpassing..."

"Next, let's invite another contestant in the final: Damien~Lillard!!!"

"Come on! My brother!"

On the sidelines, Wang Zelin kept cheering.

"Look!"

Lillard turned his head and made an OK gesture, and started a simple continuous crotch dribble warm-up action.

"cool!"

"Damien! You are the best!"

Lillard's simple move made many fans cheer for it.

Compared with Holiday, Lillard wins in all aspects, whether it is appearance or temperament.

It really is a world of faces.

At the beginning of the game, Lillard obviously accelerated the pace of dribbling. Although it took two shots to complete the ground pass, he easily hit the ball with only one shot.

Over the final two hurdles, Iraq finished with a dunk.

When a series of competition events are completed, the stopwatch on the big screen stays at 27.7 seconds.

Seeing this result, the fans at the scene rejoiced again.

"Damien! Damien! Damien..."

Lillard put on a unique look at his watch to celebrate, and this scene was recorded by the camera "click".

The winner of the skill challenge is out.

his name is……

Damian Lillard!

　home slightly.
