Legend of Tomorrow

During Star Weekend in Philadelphia, O'Neal brought his girlfriend Shani and Kobe brought Vanessa, and the four of them showed off their affection on the sidelines.

Guo Xu still didn't bring Megan with him, even though Megan seemed to be looking forward to it, he would definitely agree to the invitation.

After going to Philadelphia, it was difficult for Guo Xu to accommodate Megan. The hotel was arranged by the organizer, and other stars and their girlfriends and wives could live together directly. If Meghan lived in the same room with him, it would be over. The media would definitely expose big news that he was sleeping with a 15-year-old girl.

Guo Xu became the public enemy of Philadelphia last season. He was booed as soon as he appeared on the court. He said that he could not be caught in Philadelphia.

Big news broke out on the first day of the event. It was not made by Guo Xu, but by Iverson.

Iverson actually played a big role in his home court and did not attend the media meeting. For this, the NBA headquarters fined him 10,000 US dollars. Since Philadelphia held the All-Star Game for the first time in 26 years, Iverson's move was also widely criticized by the Philadelphia media.

Iverson's uniqueness once again disappointed his fans. As the only player in the league currently averaging more than 30 points per game, everyone hopes that he can fully demonstrate his personal abilities in the All-Star Game.

Some people speculate that Iverson did not attend the meeting because his popularity has declined this season and he did not want to be Jason Guo's foil. In the home game against the Rockets in early January, he made 21 of 42 shots, 2 of 3 three-pointers, 14 of 14 free throws, scoring 58 points and 6 assists, and his All-Star votes did not increase much.

Guo Xu was indeed the most popular star at the meeting, even surpassing O'Neal and Jordan. Reporters rushed to interview him, asking him about the Lakers' record-breaking regular season, and asking him to talk about his thoughts on being selected for the All-Stars for the first time, etc.

Guo Xu is the busiest star this weekend. The league has changed the rules for him. He not only has to participate in the star game, but also the Rookie Challenge, and there will be a long-range shooting contest the next day. In his spare time, he also has to participate in community service and promote and sell shoes for Nike.

The Jason1 launched by Nike was Guo Xu's first pair of personal basketball shoes. The shoes also featured Guo Xu's personal logo, which he requested and registered. The person in charge of Nike thought it was cool and agreed. .

Guo Xu's personal logo, at first glance, looks like a horizontal 8. If you look closely, you will find a bulge at the intersection, which is a pattern of an ouroboros biting its own tail.

Ouroboros is a primitive creature in the universe, immortal, biting its own tail. It is a symbol of ancient Greece, representing cycle and meaning rebirth.

Guo Xu looked up information about Ouroboros while reading in the time loop, and it felt very similar to the situation he encountered.

Guo Xu is also very satisfied with the boots designed by Nike. The shoes are red and yellow in color and have a bit of a Flash feel. They have an obvious structure and sharp edges, and the hollow design at the ankle is very classic.

On the first day, Guo Xu wore new boots and participated in the Rookie Challenge. His sophomore performance was obviously much stronger and he easily won 123-97.

Jason Richardson scored 32 points, 10 rebounds and 4 assists and won the MVP. Guo Xu only played 20 minutes and mainly passed the ball, scoring 15 points and 13 assists.

The next day, eight people participated in the long-range shooting competition.

Defending champion Ray Allen only scored 14 points in the first round and was eliminated. Steve Smith, Pierce, Mike Miller, Quinyan Richardson and others were also eliminated.

Guo Xu has experience from participating in last year's competition. He is relatively stable when throwing flower balls and scored 16 points. He entered the finals together with Peja Stojakovic who scored 20 points and Nash who scored 15 points.

In the final, Guo Xu performed better and scored 20 points. Nash and Peja scored 18 and 19 points respectively. He narrowly defeated his opponent by 1 point and won the three-point king.

He still has never coached a fixed-point three-pointer, and winning depends entirely on luck. The players in this class did not perform well, and 20 points was already their best performance.

The person who stole the show that day was Jason Richardson, who successfully defended his dunk title. The favorite before the game, Rockets point guard Steve Francis was eliminated in the preliminaries. He only jumped high and had no tricks to dunk.

On the third day of the All-Star Game, the Big Three of the Lakers used skillful coordination to defeat the Eastern Conference. When the three were replaced after 7 minutes, the Western Conference already led by 18 points. Even if they missed the shot, Duncan and Garnett both Grabbing multiple offensive rebounds, the Eastern team was completely unable to defend.

O'Neal pulled out several times to cover Guo Xu. Guo Xu's style of play was to catch the ball and shoot three-pointers, shoot three-pointers during counterattacks, and shoot three-pointers against Iverson.

In the end, the Western Conference defeated the Eastern Conference 146 to 120. Guo Xu played 30 minutes and won the All-Star Game MVP without much effort. He made 14 of 21 shots, 8 of 14 three-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, and scored a game-high 38 points. assists.

He set another NBA record. His eight three-pointers in a single game in the All-Star Game ranked first in history, and his 38 points in a single game ranked second in history, second only to Chamberlain's 42 points.

Guo Xu received the MVP trophy amidst boos from Philadelphia fans, ending the star weekend.

Michael Jordan, who came back, unfortunately became a backdrop. He made 4 of 13 shots and only had 8 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists.

The bigger background is Iverson. After consulting with former 76ers superstar Dr. J Irving, he wore Irving's No. 6 jersey in the All-Star Game. Due to Dr. J's outstanding military exploits and representing the team's glory in the late 1970s and early 1980s, the 76ers' No. 6 jersey has been honorably retired.

Today, Iverson, wearing the No. 6 jersey, made 2 of 9 shots at home, 1 of 2 free throws, and scored 5 points, 4 rebounds, and 3 assists. His points were not as many as those with his number.

Iverson was beaten in the finals last year, and was severely suppressed by Guo Xu in the All-Star Game. Amy was already desperate. This was his nemesis. There are only a few peak players left who firmly believe that their idols don’t want to score, otherwise it would be no problem to score 25+ with his ability.

As a result, the media revealed the news after the game that Iverson's sluggish state was because he had a party at a Philadelphia bar last night and invited a group of friends to hang out all night. His mind was focused on playing, and his legs were weak from staying up late. It would be strange if he could perform well.

President David Stern made it clear that he wanted to promote Guo Xu to the top and completely suppress Iverson.

If it weren't for the league's push behind the scenes, Guo Xu would not have participated in so many activities and had the most playing time in the star game. This was all arranged by the league before the game and greeted the media. As long as he performed well , carry out maximum publicity immediately after the game.

One is the mixed-race star Guo Xu, who does not have any negative news, has high emotional intelligence and football intelligence, is known for his handsomeness and humor, and has a large number of fans in North America and China.

One is the constant negative news. Iverson was criticized for being selfish on the court for his crazy blacksmithing. He had a group of gangsters fighting off the court. He was known for his hip-hop rebelliousness and unruliness, and attracted many young fans from the bottom of society with questionable values.

Guo Xu has the temperament of an upper-class elite. He dresses fashionably, respects everyone, and has never uttered a single curse word in public.

Iverson, on the other hand, has a black gangster temperament, is proud of dressing up in hip-hop, and has no respect at all.

In October 2000, Iverson released a notorious RAP record. The content was vulgar, full of swear words, and also involved sensitive content such as discrimination against women and derogatory remarks about homosexuality. It was severely criticized by Stern, and he has refused to change his ways since then.

Is it necessary to choose who should be praised by the alliance between these two people?
