Chapter 72 All-Star Weekend 03
All-Star Weekend?
Only then did Zhu Wan realize that it was mid-February, and the 2 All-Star Weekend in Atlanta was just around the corner.

As the last All-Star of Michael Jordan's career, he certainly wanted to see it.

It's just... the ticket price is too expensive!

Especially for the All-Star Game, even the seats at the end to feel the atmosphere cost several hundred dollars. As for the front row tickets and sideline tickets, that is a figure that Zhu Wan dare not even think about now.

Unexpectedly, Caron Butler, a "big family", consciously called.

I am very pleased!
Agreed in one go.

Zhu Wan also specifically asked Oakley if he would go to Atlanta to watch the game. If he did, he would go with him, but Oakley lacked interest: "What is there to do in that poor place!"

The Gold Club was banned late last year.

There is no more "golden legend" in Alexander.

Atlanta has become what Oakley called a "broken place".

"This is your brother's last All-Star Weekend!"

"This is already the third time he has retired, and I can't shed tears anymore!"

"..."

Listening to Oakley's complaints, Zhu Wan couldn't help saying in his heart: This relationship is really in place.

Otherwise, how could it be possible to complain like this.

Juwan and Okafor then changed their tickets to Atlanta.

When they arrived, it was the day before the All-Star Weekend, and Caron Butler had already arrived and booked a room for them in advance.

"Wow, Caron, your clothes are enough for me to spend for a year, right?"

Juwan and Caron Butler had met at a party last summer, so they were already familiar with the gold and silver gear he was wearing, and Okafor was drooling enviously.

Caron Butler high-fives him: "You'll be walking soon, bro!"

"Morning, this guy plans to stay in the NCAA for another year!" Zhu Wan was speechless. He had returned to the right track from the team. He had asked this guy many times. Okafor told him that he wanted to stay in Connecticut for another year, including this time after training with Oakley. He still answered the same: I want to play in the NCAA for another year.

Caron Butler was surprised: "You should be able to win the championship this year, right?" What are you doing in the NCAA?This is what he didn't say.

Zhu Wan continued to complain: "He just has to prove himself, and I don't know what he wants to prove!"

Okafor smiled foolishly, but did not answer.He is the youngest among them, the three of them walked together, as if time went back to a year ago, he was always the object of complaints by his two brothers.

Since we still have to watch the game tomorrow, and Zhu Wan and the others just got off the plane today, they just had dinner and the three of them went to rest.

The next afternoon, Caron Butler came to ask Juwan to go out with Okafor. Today is the first day of the All-Star Weekend. Although the Rookie Challenge will not start until evening, there are some activities in the afternoon to give back to fans in the league, which are worth visiting.

In the end, it was also very rewarding. In just over an hour, Zhu Wan and the others had many items related to this All-Star Weekend.

Before entering the arena, they also consciously put on the free All-Star jerseys of the same style.

The seat that Caron Butler bought was quite forward, which also allowed Zhu Wan to experience the exposure of what is called an NBA All-Star. He saw a lot of familiar faces, some from the entertainment industry, and some from other sports industries. It is not an exaggeration to describe tonight's All-Star Weekend auditorium with the stars.

Zhu Wan suddenly saw a familiar star: Tony Maguire, the one who played Spider-Man. Last year's "Spider-Man 1" became popular in the United States, and Tony Maguire became the top of the American film industry. At the same time, it attracted a large number of fans, including Ju Wan's current girlfriend Sona.

As for Zhu Wan himself...he doesn't chase stars, even though he likes Spider-Man, he only likes the role of Spider-Man, just like he likes Xu Fengnian and Fan Xian, but he doesn't feel that their actors are shining because of this.

Many actors often don't understand that it is the role that makes them, not they make the role. The halo of most actors comes from the roles they play, not themselves.

But Zhu Wan didn’t chase stars. He subconsciously thought that Sona wanted Tony Maguire’s signature, so he pulled Caron Butler and leaned over him. Anyway, this is an active NBA player. There can be an explanation, but Zhu Wan also underestimated his current popularity. Finished the photoshoot with him.

The person who helped them take pictures was a reporter on the sidelines. He added Zhu Wan's email address, and then he would export the photos and send them to Zhu Wan.

"Come on, man, I look forward to your performance after entering the NBA!"

The two shook hands, and Zhu Wan was a little surprised by his last words.

He realized it later, and it turned out that he had unknowingly made many people look forward to it.

It was only after getting Tony Maguire's signature that Juwan realized that why should I ask for this signature, just because of Sona?

You're miserable, you're in love!

Zhu Wan seemed to hear Wu Mengda's voice, which made him a little dazed,
But before he could think too much, the Rookie Challenge officially started.

01 was a small draft year, and 02 was also a small draft year, and Dayao did not participate, which made this Rookie Challenge not very interesting, but the atmosphere on the scene was good.

The first day of the All-Star weekend has just passed.

The reporter was also very trustworthy, and sent a photo of Juwan and Maguire to his mailbox that night.

Zhu Wan was going to send it to Sona, but after thinking about it, he finally put it in the computer first. Except in bed, he has never been so active with Sona, which made him feel a little weird.

It was Sona who called him: "Honey, did you take a photo with Tony?"

"Is it in the news?"

"Yes."

"Well, I also got his signed jersey, and I will bring it to you when I come back!"

Zhu Wan happened to tell the latter the news, and then Wu Mengda kept talking about it in his mind all night.

The next day, Caron Butler looked at Juwan with a strange look: "Dude, you are too hot!"

He also saw the news.

"It's just a photo with Tony Maguire, is it worth reporting like this?"

In fact, the news also mentioned him, but it was also in Zhu Wan's favor.

Zhu Wan tactically leaned back and said, "Do you understand what a super rookie is?"

Get punched by Caron Butler.

He is so sour.

The second day of the All-Star Weekend is the three major challenge events.

Zhu Wan felt that the atmosphere in the auditorium was good yesterday, but only today did he realize that the atmosphere yesterday was unbelievable. Hearing the deafening cheers from the sidelines, he murmured softly: "Dare to love this is the All-Star Weekend!"

Especially during the slam dunk contest, not to mention the cheers.

Zhu Wan's ears were buzzing.

In fact, the 03 slam dunk contest is not considered a classic in previous slam dunk contests, but it still caused such a huge cheer, which made Zhu Wan curious. How big was the cheer in the "War of the Century" in 00?
Watching in front of the TV and feeling on the spot are really two concepts.

Zhu Wan said, "It's too early!"

If he wears this until 94, he should be able to catch up with the scene to witness the "War of the Century" in 00!

After a whole night of fun, finally the third day of the All-Star Weekend, which is also the "finale event" of the All-Star Weekend, the All-Star Game, has officially arrived.

To a large extent, Zhu Wanlai's All-Star this year came for the main game.

This year's All-Star Game will have two major events. One is that Michael Jordan, who everyone knew before the start of this season, will retire after the end of the season. This All-Star Weekend is also the last All-Star for the "God of Basketball";
Yao Ming, who has just entered the league this year, relied on the votes of domestic fans to overwhelm Shaquille O'Neal, who had just completed his "three consecutive championships", to become the All-Star starter in the Western Conference this year.

This shocked everyone and ushered in a lot of criticism.

But in the end, in order to take care of the feelings of the Chinese fans, David Stern finally decided that according to the statistical results, Yao Ming has more votes than Shaq O'Neal, so he is the starter in the Western Conference of the All-Star Game!

This once again fully revealed his determination to open up the Chinese market.

Of course, he also learned how to manipulate the number of votes in the backstage and appropriately reduce Yao Ming's votes. Otherwise, with the enthusiasm of Huaxia fans, there may be no suspense about the "Voting King" after the All-Star Weekend.

However, the reduction is reduced, and the Western Conference starter should belong to Yao Ming, and it should still belong to Yao Ming.

This is the embodiment of David Stern's decent handling of things.

Unlike Xiao Hua, seeing that 077 is about to be voted as the All-Star starter, he directly invalidated the votes of foreign fans, but still let foreign fans continue to vote. He called it: "Vote, just have a sense of participation, don't take it seriously!"

It's really disgusting, fucking open the door for nausea, it's so disgusting!
Just that one time, the Slovenian fans were directly offended.

Caron Butler also knew that this was the main event, so the tickets for this game had to be bought at the front, just a row away from the seats on the sidelines, and Juwan could almost see the pimples that just appeared on O'Neill's cold face.

"Shark" was very unhappy to be squeezed out of the All-Star starting position by Yao Ming, a rookie.

He pretended not to be greeted by a prim Tim Duncan.

Well, Juwan didn't hear what Tim Duncan said to Shaquille O'Neal either.

"Yo, all-star substitute, are you here?"

Listen, is this called human talk?
Who would have thought that the serious Tim Duncan would have such flirtatious words in his mouth.

Zhu Wan also saw Yao Ming, but couldn't find a chance to talk to him, so he could only watch him like this.

"Chairman Yao", who will talk and laugh with the media in the future, is still very young at the moment, and because of the pressure from the outside world, he seems very reserved.

Kobe ran to his side at this time, squeezed Yao Ming's shoulder, and shook his own shoulder. His voice was not low, and Zhu Wan heard it too.

"Come on, Yao, just like me, shake up, shake up!"

As an All-Star veteran, he is very relaxed.

It's a pity that Dayao really can't let go at the moment.

Then amidst the cheers of the crowd, the "god" of the rivers and lakes officially appeared on the stage.

There is no doubt about Michael Jordan's aura. Everyone who greets him feels that his aura is automatically weaker by three points in front of him.

Zhu Wan couldn't help "Liu Bang" up: "A man should be like this!"

Don't ask why it's not "he can be replaced", just ask because you don't want to "kill yourself in Wujiang".

Amidst the cheers of the audience, the All-Star Game officially began. Although it was only an exhibition game, the abilities of these All-Stars were really strong. All kinds of pleasing goals made the scene burst into cheers, one after another, almost without a break.

Zhu Wan feels that the game will soon come to the last quarter.

According to the "rules of the rivers and lakes" of the All-Star Weekend, the next step is to do it with real swords and guns.

The intensity on the field escalated again.

During this period, Shaquille O'Neal slapped Walker's shot away, and the ball flew straight out of the field and landed in Juwan's hands.

"Vote for one, vote for one, and you'll be on the news again!"

Originally, Zhu Wan was going to just throw it back into the field, but Caron Butler was very excited and encouraged him to make a "super-long three-pointer from the auditorium".

In Connecticut before, they played this difficult shot a lot.

Zhu Wan saw that he was so excited, so he also looked towards the basket and took a few glances.

"Hey guy?"

O'Neill, who came to pick up the ball, saw that he was in a daze, and shouted that he didn't know Zhu Wan.

However, someone among the cameramen on the sidelines recognized him and quickly pointed the camera at him.

Zhu Wan, who had almost aimed at the ball, rubbed the ball in his hand without hesitation, and shot the ball with a motion similar to pushing the ball. The ball crossed a high arc, hit the backboard directly, and then bounced into the basket.

I rely on!

"Really entered!"

Caron Butler was taken aback by this, he didn't expect that Zhu Wan could really "go into the soul with one shot".

He was surprised, not to mention the others. There was a silence in the auditorium, and then thunderous cheers followed.

Shaquille O'Neal, who has always looked unattractive, stared at the goal and was stunned. At this moment, he forgot to be angry.

Michael Jordan, who was chewing on his braces and waiting for the ball, recognized Juwan. Seeing him score, he stopped chewing for two seconds, obviously frightened.

Yao Ming was also stunned. Fortunately, there were no cameras facing him at this time. Otherwise, another "chairman emoticon package" would be passed down and carried forward by sand sculpture netizens.

"Wow, a super long-range three-pointer from NCAA super rookie, Zhu Wan!!!" Barkley, who was explaining on the spot, also shouted excitedly!

Amidst the cheers, Zhu Wan spread out his hands: Little meaning, little meaning!
My heart is: I am rough, good luck, good luck!
His cupping was frozen by the sideline photographers.

Just like that, Zhu Wan became the focus of the audience. What he didn't notice was that a primary school student in the audience couldn't sit still when he saw his ultra-long-range shots.His movement caused his dad to reprimand: "Hey, Stephen, don't disturb other people!"

The commotion caused by this unexpected episode was slowly forgotten by the fans in the auditorium as the matchup on the field became more and more intense.

But I don't know if it's because of Zhu Wan's "troubleshooting" the ball. Many NBA stars on the field also played super long-range shots.

Not to mention, each one has two brushes.

Entered several.

What made Juwan a little dumbfounded was that after Stephen Marbury made the shot, he deliberately moved in his direction and made a gesture of spreading his hands like him.

Not provocative, Zhu Wanneng saw his smile.

This also made the ending of this game a huge change compared with the original.

Of course, for Michael Jordan fans, this result must make them more like it.

With 1.7 seconds left in regulation, Michael Jordan hit his signature fadeaway jumper from a nearly negative angle to give the East a 130-128 lead.

The West missed the last shot and the game ended.

This is a "quasi lore" from Jordan!
And Michael Jordan's many famous scenes made lore become synonymous with him.

Now with a quasi-lore to end his last All-Star trip, there is no doubt that there are only two words: perfect!

The fans at the scene also sent huge cheers at the moment the game ended. Michael Jordan, who had just completed the big scene, walked to the center of the field and blew kisses in response to the fans in the audience.

An era came to an end with his air kiss.

His lore is not just this game, but the stars of an era!
　The All-Star Weekend will not be disassembled, 4 words, and there is one more chapter today.

　　Next is the last paragraph of the NCAA. There are only two games written in a little more detail, so if nothing else happens, I can definitely finish writing the draft before it goes on the shelves, because everything that should be covered in the front has been laid out, and there is no place that needs a lot of explanation.
