Chapter 800 Fifty-Eight Is Fifty-Eight!
During the 2009 All-Star Weekend, the league adopted a new interactive model with fans and audiences.
Whether it's the All-Star Rookie Challenge, the Skills Competition, or the All-Star Game, all teams will compete.
The winner of the Rookie Challenge will get two points, the winner of the three skill competitions will get 1 point, and the winner of the final All-Star Game will get 3 points.
The team with the most total points during the final All-Star Weekend will be the winner of this year's All-Star Weekend.
As all members of the winning team, they will be able to become the main body of the league donating the US$10 million in this year's All-Star income.
This time during the All-Star Weekend, the league played very, very big.
Setting him as a target only stimulates those who must step on him for their own benefit.
Using 10 million for charity will stimulate those in the All-Stars who are just for fame.
David Stern sees it very clearly. In the NBA, as long as there is the excitement of fame and profit, even Jordan, there will be rookies to step on it!
However, Yeas has no objections to David Stern's actions in this year's All-Star game.
David Stern wants to make this year's All-Star stage bigger and flashier.
At the same time, he was established as a target and focus. This was not to embarrass him on this bigger and more gorgeous stage.
Although he may be embarrassed on this stage, there are not so many clear things to say in the All-Star Game. Jordan's performances have been smashed, and not just once.
But there is no doubt that this time David Stern has arranged the stage so big and gorgeous, and put him at the center of the focus. He is preparing to use this All-Star to officially make him the spokesperson of the NBA. The first person, a position above all NBA stars.
Although he has had such a position and momentum before, and fans and media around the world think so, the league has not recognized it yet.
So, for many others attending All-Star Weekend this year, the weekend was a relaxing occasion.
But for Ye Si, he has a lot to do. Even if he doesn't participate in some All-Star activities, people still need to show up.
For example, in the game before the All-Star Rookie Challenge, the McDonald's All-Star Charity Game, Yeas watched the entire game with a blank expression, while NFL star Owens lifted the MVP trophy. During the performance, he was expressionless and applauded along with the audience.
"Yes, this kind of competition is boring, right?"
"..."
"Haha, it's just boring, I can hit ten of them if I go up there!"
Afflalo proudly whispered in Ye Si's ear.
It seems as if it is something to be proud of if one person can really beat ten of these people.
"Yes, next is our own stage!"
"The stage tonight is a bit big. I want to be excited about it!"
Afflalo's face was filled with excitement, and the face of Westbrook next to him was equally excited.
You can tell from the faces of Afflalo and Westbrook that this is the effect David Stern wanted.
This stage is designed for him, but at the same time, this stage does not deny anyone who wants to perform and shine on it!
At 8:30 pm on February 14, 2009, the US Airways Arena, the home of the Phoenix Suns, which can accommodate more than 18,000 spectators, was packed tonight.
A game that shouldn't have been so hot was so hot that even David Stern on the sidelines found it a bit scary.
"I used to see Yes wearing a jersey and playing on the court. This time I saw Yes wearing a suit and standing on the sidelines of the court. It was really, really weird!"
"Before tonight, I have never seen Yes wearing a suit. He is so cool and stylish!"
Listening to the excitement around him, David Stern was satisfied.
This year's All-Star Game is a reform for him. The grouping format of the entire All-Star Weekend makes the competition more interesting and the sense of belonging and honor among the players is also improved.
In the past, these young players in the All-Star Rookie Challenge were not considered true All-Stars.
But after his reforms this year, they are also members of the Yes team like the All-Star players in the All-Star Game. The games they participated in during the All-Star Weekend will also be counted as the players in the All-Star Game. Team performance.
And when they were playing, the person standing on the sidelines of the court was the most popular player in the NBA, the leader of the entire team, and the players sitting on the sidelines cheering him on were All-Star players, and every one of them was No one is absent, they are all sitting there neatly!
David Stern feels that he has set up such a huge stage for his players. Those players who are not willing to be Yes supporting players, on such a stage and in such an atmosphere, will definitely be able to make this year's All-Star Weekend Become extremely exciting!
The atmosphere in the arena is very lively now. Most of the audience originally came here to watch Ye Si, but when they saw the players on both sides of the court actually acting like that, it instantly became interesting.
"Boys, get excited!"
"This is the best stage for you to show your talents and abilities in front of the whole world, in front of Yes, and in front of us!"
The first-year head coach is Ye Si, but seeing how O'Neal is irritating these first-year young people to blushing at this time, people who don't know think that the first-year head coach is O'Neal.
This damn fat guy is stealing the show!
Kobe, who was sitting there, could immediately tell that this fat guy was stealing the show. This petty guy was seeking revenge for Yes's dislike of him when they originally chose him.
This fat guy is only good at this. He doesn't dare to take revenge directly and just likes to play these imaginary things.
However, this fat guy's talk is as good as ever.
In the first grade, under the leadership of 'assistant coach' O'Neal, everyone's fighting spirit was boosted.
Except for Mike Beasley, who looked calm and peaceful as a saint, it was obvious on everyone else's faces that they wanted to go on the field and fight right away.
On the first-year side, O'Neal was somewhat dominant, while on the second-year side, it was all Garnett's stage.
In terms of talking skills, Garnett may not be as good as O'Neal.
O'Neal's words can make people blush.
And Garnett is not much worse. Although he can't make these young people blush, he can make these young people beat their chests and scream.
Moreover, on the second-year side, the participation rate of the selected All-Star players is obviously much higher than on the first-year side.
On the first-grade side, except for O'Neal, others like Sun Yue stood there like a minions. As for Oden and Yi Jianlian, they were on the Yes team in the main game, but in the Rookie Challenge, they were second-year players. Team!
As for Nowitzki, he was too shy, Richard Jefferson was too small, and Kobe and O'Neal were not very good at dealing with each other. O'Neal was screaming there, and Kobe wished he could go to Yao Ming's team next door.
As for the other All-Star James of the Yes team...
James is the only one who is still sitting there without standing up. With this posture, even ordinary viewers can see that this clean figure in the NBA undercover world is preparing to stab Yes in the back for Wade?
On Wade's team, backstab Wade for Yes.
On the Yes team, backstabbing Yes for Wade...
This is a bit too weird to play.
This year’s All-Star Rookie Challenge is a blast.
But if it weren't for the presence of O'Neal, a scene-stealing master in the first grade, the first grade would have been completely overwhelmed by the second grade with the All-Star support before the game.
"This All-Star Weekend, Team Yes really seems to be a little bit in danger?!"
"Indeed, Yao Ming's team seems to be more engaged, more energetic, and stronger."
"David Stern made such a big noise this time just to build momentum for Yes. If the 10 million US dollars prepared by David Stern were donated in the name of Yao Ming and Yao's team, David Will it be awkward for Stern and Yes?"
"It's really embarrassing!"
The opening of the Rookie Challenge really made many spectators supporting the Yes team sweat on the sidelines and in front of the TV.
There is a big gap between the strength of the Yes team in the All-Star Game and that of Yao Ming's team. Everyone knows this. The strongest four of the five positions in the NBA are on Yao Ming's team.
People usually pay more attention to the players in the All-Star Game, but there is actually not that much discussion in the All-Star Rookie Game.
Now when they see the first-year Yes team and the second-year Yao Ming team standing on the court, many people feel that the gap is quite big.
The first-year Leafs' five starting players in this year's Rookie Challenge are Gasol, Mike Beasley, Westbrook, Derrick Rose and James Harden...
One center seems to be carrying four perimeter players?
Forget about the four perimeter players, and they all need to hold the ball. Is one ball enough to score points?
The strength was already slightly inferior. Afflalo, one of the Big Three in the final year, was still sitting on the bench. The people who came up were still so unbalanced.
"Although Yes is the direct disciple of Master Lorenzo Romar, the greatest tactician in the history of basketball, it seems that Yes did not learn the essence of tactics from Master Romar."
"Tactics is a rigorous science. Yes is a very willful and idealistic person. He is not naturally suitable for studying tactics that require a little more heart and are not so simple. It is understandable."
"It can be seen from the fact that the starters selected by Yes as head coach this time, except for Gasol, are all strong players who charge forward and go straight into the battle."
Compared with the unreliability of the first-year team, the second-year team of Oden, Yi Jianlian, Jeff Green, Nick Young, and Mike Conley are much more reliable.
The lineup Yao Ming arranged is quite normal.
"This is also in line with Yao's character. This lineup is very meticulous. There is a center, a power forward, a small forward, a shooting guard, and a point guard. The lineup is very normal and not as spiritual as Yes's."
When the first-year players and second-year players all stood in the middle circle of the court, the visual experience caused by the contrast between the players on both sides was very strange.
Compared with the second-year players, the first-year players look much shorter and thinner. It even gives the impression that the players on both sides are not on the same level.
When a first-year team with four young players faces off against a normal second-year lineup, the one with the greatest pressure is Marc Gasol, who serves as the first-year center on the court.
In the Seattle SuperSonics, although Milicic has been Oden's long-term opponent, he has also competed with Oden. There was a little bit of competition, and the three of them could not handle Oden and his brother.
Although Oden no longer has his brother by his side, there is a good news!
But there is really no Milicic and Millsap around him!
Should Milicic make a cameo from the sidelines?
Gasol was under a lot of pressure, but Oden had a look of confidence on his face.
Although he is the All-Star of the Master Team, even if the team is deep in Yao, he will go all out. He will not like to stab back and forth like LeBron James does!
As the whistle blew, the referee Crawford threw the basketball in his hand high, and Oden strongly pressed Gasol to jump to the ball.
"The gap is too big!"
"The gap between Marc Gasol and Oden is too big!"
"Team Yes is going to suffer tonight!"
The visual experience caused by Oden and Gasol's jump ball was quite amazing. Gasol felt as if he didn't jump and was directly knocked out by Oden.
After Oden succeeded in jumping the ball, Conley, who worked very well with Oden, received the ball and launched an attack directly.
"Not only are the players stronger, but the second-year team also has a better understanding of each other!"
"There is also a combination like Oden Conley in the first grade. Love, Afflalo and Westbrook can also become the team's tactical core like Oden Conley, but Yes kept Afflalo and Love on the court. Down!"
"Although with Afflalo, Love and Westbrook as the core, the first-year players are no match for the second-year players, but they shouldn't lose that much!"
"Now, it's hard to say how much the first graders will lose in this game!"
"Beautiful fast break, beautiful distribution, beautiful shooting!"
"Yi took Greg Oden's fast break pass and hit a mid-range jumper!"
A swipe!
The sophomore led the way with two points.
A flowing two points that made many viewers who supported Ye Si and the first grade feel a little desperate.
"This second-year offense really crushed the first-year team in all aspects, including tactics, player strength, and coordination. The two teams are not on the same level at all!"
The second graders completed their offense and when it was the first graders' turn to attack, the audience on the sidelines saw the strength gap between the two sides even more obvious.
The second-year offense was running smoothly just now.
Turning around, on the first-year side, James Harden immediately responded with a vicious top-of-the-arc dribble for 15 seconds...
Seeing James Harden making luck alone, many people on the sidelines were stunned.
Isn’t this too sexy? !
“James Harden is on!”
“James Harden lights up Nick Young!”
"James Harden went at Greg Oden!"
"James Harden was cheated!"
Moreover, this is too simple!
Looking at James Harden who was knocked to the ground on the court, the originally exciting and crazy scene was extremely quiet.
Even James, who had been sitting on the sidelines very confused, was blinking in surprise.
"Isn't this gap too big?"
"What a huge gap in all directions!"
Yes, who has never been humiliated or beaten by anyone, will not be beaten in this game...
Thinking of this, James and a certain 1.83 meter man in the stands who was wrapped tightly in a hat and glasses stood up almost at the same time.
The atmosphere on the sidelines was quiet and strange.
Even O'Neal, who had always been very excited and crazy, looked at the scene that just happened on the court with his mouth wide open.
This bearded boy's attack just now was even more powerful than that poisonous snake's most powerful attack!
A person has been working there for so long without looking at his teammates. When he finds an opportunity, he has to go through it all.
Damn it, who do you think you are? Don’t you know how good Oden’s defense is?
How did Yes train tactics this afternoon?
O'Neill felt that he had failed a bit in his attempt to steal Yes' limelight just now.
The first grader was really going to be beaten by 58 points. He stole the spotlight from the head coach. Why wouldn't he be tricked to death by Yes?
Thinking of this, O'Neal, who has been treating himself as a first-year head coach since the start of the game, carefully and quietly retreated to his seat from the position on the sidelines in front of Yes, and sat down at lightning speed.
"Coward!"
O'Neill didn't think anyone noticed.
Kobe, who had been looking at O'Neal from the corner of his eye, cursed secretly.
This damn fat guy is as cowardly as ever!
Why haven't I seen you so cowardly when it comes to grabbing benefits?
Look how calm Yes is!
58 is 58, afraid of a ball!
