NBA: I have 3 but no D, and I still can’t dribble.

The time soon came to February 2st, 21pm local time in Denver.

Pepsi Center Arena.

The auditoriums on all sides were packed with people, and the boxes on the roof were also full.

Not only did many local Denver fans come to the scene, but also NBA fans from all over the United States and even from all over the world traveled thousands of miles to come here.

Just to be able to see the idols running and playing on the court.

Looking around, there are countless fans in the audience wearing the jerseys of their idols to support their favorite stars.

Among them, O'Neal's No. 32 jersey of the Heat and Iverson's No. 76 jersey of the 3ers are still the ones with the largest audience.

One is the league's number one center who is 2.16 meters tall. He is one of the top ten players in NBA history. He is the undisputed number one player in NBA history. He is the MVP, FMVP and Grand Slam winner. He represents the final glory of the four major centers in the league.

The other is a legendary guard whose official height is 183cm, but whose real height is less than 180cm. He conquered the world with his speed and gorgeous dribbling skills. He was a lone hero who competed with OK in the finals.

Before Jordan retired and Kobe's complete rise, O'Neal and Iverson were undoubtedly the two most successful superstars in the league at the beginning of the 21st century.

Tonight, O'Neal and Iverson are both in the All-Star camp in the Eastern Conference. What makes AI fans feel unfair is that Iverson's starting guard was squeezed out by O'Neal's two rookie teammates.

"Allen can't even make it to the starting lineup in the Eastern Conference. The two guys from the Heat are too fierce. Lin's vote-leading number is boosted by Chinese fans. It seems that Wade is also being loved!"

"So what about the substitutes? With Allen's status in the league, he will definitely not lose to Wade and Lin in terms of playing time tonight!"

"Man, I'm afraid you forgot who the head coach of the Eastern Conference team is. That's Stan Van Gundy, the head coach of the Heat!"

"Van Gundy is the coach of the Eastern Conference team. It seems that he will give his three beloved disciples a back door tonight!"

"The 76ers' record this year is worrying, and their lineup is not that good. It seems there is no hope of winning the championship. Alas, it's too difficult for Allen!"

"Philadelphia has been the king for ten years, so why not win a championship? Philadelphia forever, Allen Iverson forever!"

In addition to O'Neal and Allen Iverson, the third most worn jersey by fans is Tracy McGrady's Rockets No. 1.

After Tracy McGrady came to the Rockets this season, the chemical reaction with Dayao's partner is pretty good. The current record of the Rockets is also improving steadily, and it is expected to hit the top four in the West.

At the same time, McGrady's 12 seconds and 35 minutes in the Rockets vs. Spurs game in December also allowed him to quickly gain a wave of new fans in the league and around the world.

A moment is an eternity, and McGrady's 35 seconds and 13 minutes is indeed a rare miracle in NBA history.

In ten or twenty years, some people may forget the championship and regular season mvp winner in a certain season, but they will not forget McGrady's 35 seconds and 13 points.

McGrady's 35 seconds and 13 points also made Tim Duncan of the Spurs the most embarrassing backdrop.

During this All-Star Weekend, when Duncan met Tracy McGrady, they both sat at the table for the children and the elderly.

Even if Duncan has to beat Tracy McGrady in terms of personal honors, two regular season MVPs and two championship + finals MVPs are enough for Duncan to rank among the top 15 in history.

But McGrady's 35 seconds and 13 minutes made Deng Daidai look even more stupid, and he became a frequent target of ridicule among fans this season.

The fourth most conspicuous jersey is Kevin Garnett's Timberwolves No. 21.

As he won the championship last season and was crowned Finals MVP, Garnett's historical status has also been significantly improved, and his determination for one man, one city has become even greater.

Coupled with the passion for playing, this has also allowed the "Wolf King" to capture more fans around the world.

It's just that the Minnesota Timberwolves' overall record has also ranked sixth in the Western Conference this season due to the aging of the core lineup, especially the serious decline in the state of "Madman" and Cassel.

In this regard, Timberwolves boss Glen Taylor also urged the management to actively operate before the trade deadline to help the team obtain greater signings and reinforcements.

After tonight's All-Star Game, tomorrow happens to be the NBA's trade deadline for the 2004-05 season.

By then, many teams in the league will have completed their final transactions of the season.

Next, the jerseys of Kobe, Lin Fei, Carter, James, Wade and others are also more popular among fans.

Amid the cheers of the fans at the scene, the game started quickly. The All-Star starting lineups of both teams took to the court, which was a star-studded scene.

The starting five for the Eastern Conference Stars are:

Dwyane Wade, Lin Fei, Vince Carter, LeBron James, Shaquille O'Neal.

The starting five for the Western Conference Stars are:

Kobe Bryant, Tracy McGrady, Kevin Garnett, Tim Duncan, Dayao.

O'Neal and Dayao jumped into the center circle at the same time. The players were smiling and the atmosphere at the start of the game was also very good.

The Western team took the lead in attacking. Kobe dribbled to the frontcourt and connected with McGrady. He broke through and made a lateral back pass, assisting McGrady to catch the ball and jump up to deliver a 360-degree turn dunk.

"Boom!"

Looking back, the Eastern Stars were not to be outdone. Wade lobbed to O'Neal under the basket. Yao's defense was very loose, allowing O'Neal to easily turn over and break into the basket, but it was a fake shot and a real pass.

Send a rebound assist.

"Snapped!"

Wade, who accelerated to the basket, caught the ball and jumped up, then changed hands and turned 180 degrees to dunk.

"Boom!"

This dunk is more difficult than McGrady's simple 360-degree turn just now, and the new dunk king is well-deserved.

Both teams played relatively relaxedly at the beginning, having a great time with various wonderful passes and dunks.

The scene is always filled with screams and applause from fans.

Kobe Bryant, Vince Carter, Garnett and others also delivered explosive and gorgeous dunks.

About three minutes into the game, Lin Fei got a chance. After receiving a pass from Wade, he decisively shot a long three-pointer from a position more than two meters beyond the three-point line at the top of the arc.

"Shh!"

After all, the All-Star game was just an exhibition game, and Kobe, who was facing Lin Fei, didn't defend himself, so Lin Fei made a decisive three-pointer.

At the beginning, other stars were showing off various gorgeous breakthroughs, wonderful passes and dunks, but Lin Fei unexpectedly hit a super long three-pointer.

However, this does not seem too inconsistent, but adds a different kind of excitement to the game.

Cheers from Lin Fei's fans also came from the scene, but at the same time, some fans complained, thinking that Lin Fei's three-pointer was a bit of a spoiler.

In front of the live commentary desk on the sidelines, Charles Barkley, the league's number one Lin Fei, played Lin Fei's long three-pointer in a refreshing and refined way:

"Lin's super long three-pointer is no less difficult than other people's gorgeous dunks. Although the All-Star Game is an exhibition game, the performance is not limited to dunks and passes. Three-pointers also have their own highlights! "

The Western team counterattacked.

Kobe became interested this time. Seeing that Lin Fei did not guard him seriously, but took two or three steps away, he directly shot back one step away from the three-point line.

"Shh!"

Kobe also had a three-pointer, and showed a bright smile to Lin Fei while retreating.

Seeing that Lin Fei and Kobe seemed to have a sense of gunpowder,

Wade, who advanced the ball to the frontcourt, did not hesitate and directly passed the ball to Lin Fei again.

This time, Lin Fei was three to four meters away from the three-point line at the top of the arc. Kobe stepped back two meters away and just made a defensive move, indicating that Lin Fei would come back if he was confident.

Lin Fei breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the basket and jumped decisively.

The moment the shot landed, Lin Fei didn't even look at the basketball that was still flying in the air. He turned 90 degrees and faced the audience. He put two fingers to his mouth and made a gesture of blowing a pistol.

"Shh!"

In the next moment, the basketball hit the net hollow, splashing beautiful water, and the fans in the Pepsi Center Arena also exploded.

"Haha, two consecutive long-range three-pointers. If you don't guard Lin carefully in this All-Star Game, then this will completely give him points!"

"This has always been the style of the All-Star Game. It's hard to defend in the first quarter, and it's from such a long distance. It doesn't make sense!"

"There is no way, who made Lin's shot accurate? Can Kobe still respond?"

On the court, the Western Stars fought back.

McGrady also took the initiative to return the ball to Kobe. The star players of both teams were waiting for Kobe to respond to Lin Fei.

Seeing the star players on the court and on the bench looking at Kobe, waiting for him to take a super long shot.

And Lin Fei directly let go of himself more than three meters away, Kobe could only grit his teeth with a smile, took two steps back, and also came to a position 11 meters away from the basket, trying to shoot a super long three-pointer.

"Shh!"

Kobe also hit this super long three-pointer, and the cheers at the scene became even more intense.

"Lin and Kobe are really shooting for super long three-pointers. One is farther than the other. Isn't this more interesting than watching dunks? If you like watching dunks, why not watch the dunk contest more times!"

"The long three-point shot is a shooting event that Lin has long been accustomed to in pre-game warm-ups. Peter Pan has no chance of winning against him in a super long three-point contest!"

On the court, Lin Fei stood directly in the center circle with the logo this time, received a pass from Wade, and hit a super long three-pointer across the half court again.

"Shh!"

A hundred hits, no miss.

Three consecutive ultras, one farther than the last.

The confrontation between Lin Fei and Kobe brought tonight's All-Star Game to its climax in the first quarter.

Kobe's wife Vanessa, who was sitting in the front row on the sidelines, also came to the scene with her eldest daughter to cheer for her husband.

As early as November last year, the Eagle County incident also came to an end, and the relationship between Kobe and Vanessa also improved again.

In the front row not far from Kobe Bryant's wife and daughter, a Chinese beauty wearing women's formal attire, also smiling like a flower, applauded Lin Fei's wonderful opening performance.

This person is Lin Fei's manager and girlfriend Qin Dongmei.

As early as last night, Qin Dongmei took a plane from California to Denver. The young lovers were separated for a long time and were newly married. Naturally, Lin Fei and Qin Dongmei had to have some ups and downs in the hotel.

The school will not start until March, so Qin Dongmei will also accompany Lin Fei back to Miami during this period, and at the same time contact with some commercial shooting activities.

In addition to signing Anta's sneaker contract, Qin Dongmei also considered letting Lin Fei endorse a car brand, which would be good for his personality and image.

At present, many car companies around the world have also handed over olive branches and contract quotations to Qin Dongmei.

Brands such as Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Audi, Porsche, Lamborghini, and Land Rover are all interested in signing Lin Fei.

At the same time, domestic brands such as BYD and Geely, which are just starting out, also hope to win high-quality spokespersons like Lin Fei to improve their brand image and learn from Anta's successful experience.

on the field,

Not to be outdone, Kobe turned around and also shot a half-court three-pointer from the center circle, hoping to respond to Lin Fei's provocation again.

But Kobe didn't have Lin Fei's perverted touch after all. This half court was not too far away, but the basketball still bounced out of the frame heavily.

"Bang!"

Kobe also smiled and shook his head, and gave a thumbs up to Lin Fei in front of him with conviction.

Although Kobe missed the long three-pointer, McGrady grabbed the offensive rebound and assisted teammate Dayao for a dunk.

"Boom!"

In less than 5 minutes of the first quarter, Lin Fei made all 3 shots and scored 9 points, temporarily ranking the highest in the game.

However, with Kobe's willingness to admit defeat, Lin Fei no longer insisted on shooting three-pointers and became more integrated into the team. Wade, O'Neal and others also got more opportunities to play.

LeBron James, who was also the starter, seemed a bit out of place. He played more than half of the first quarter and only scored 2 points on one dunk.

After all, it was an All-Star game, and the head coaches of the two teams quickly made a rotation, allowing the substitute stars to come on stage and meet the fans as soon as possible.

Allen Iverson may be dissatisfied with his status as a substitute, and he is obviously holding his breath. The second half of the first quarter and the beginning of the second quarter have also become AI's performance time.

Fans were delighted to watch the various gorgeous dribblings and breakthroughs. Among them, Allen Iverson changed directions and passed Nash, Ray Allen and Nowitzki in a counterattack breakthrough.

Go to the basket and deliver a one-armed dunk.

"Boom!"

The substitute players on the Western Stars team played in a relatively balanced manner. Under Nash's coordination and organization, everyone had a chance to score. Nowitzki also received a lot of care from his old friends.

Halftime is over,

Eastern Stars (72): (78) Western Stars.

The West is slightly ahead by 6 points.

Lin Fei only played 7 minutes in the first half, scored 3 points on all 9-pointers, and also contributed a steal on the defensive end.

After the start of the third quarter, the defensive levels of both sides improved significantly, and the intensity of the game became even greater.

Kobe was obviously dissatisfied with Allen Iverson's continuous scoring. During a defense, he rushed up directly with a diagonal stab, jumped up, and gave AI a solid big block.

"Snapped!"

The basketball that was blown away fell into the hands of the Eastern team again. Wade made a wonderful pass back without looking at people in the breakthrough, obviously imitating his teammate Jason Williams.

The ball flew out from the side of Garnett. Lin Fei, who was outside the three-point line, took off decisively after catching the ball and shot another lightning shot.

"Shh!"
