Chapter 800 Fifty-Eight Is Fifty-Eight!

In the 2009 All-Star Weekend, the league adopted a new interactive mode with fans and spectators.

Whether it is the All-Star Rookie Challenge, the Skills Competition or the All-Star Game, all teams will participate.

The winning team of the Rookie Challenge can get two points, the winning teams of the three Skills Competitions will get 1 point each, and the final winning team of the All-Star Game will get 3 points.

The team with the highest total score during the All-Star Weekend will become the winner of this year's All-Star Weekend.

All members of the winning team will become the main body of the league's donation of 10 million US dollars from this year's All-Star income.

This All-Star Weekend, the league played very, very big.

Setting him as a target stimulated those who must step on him for their own interests.

Taking out 10 million for charity stimulated those who wanted fame in the All-Stars.

David Stern saw it very clearly. In the NBA, as long as there is a stimulus of fame and fortune, even Jordan, there will be rookies to step on him!

However, Yes had no opinion on David Stern's operation in this year's All-Star.

David Stern wants to make this year's All-Star stage bigger and more gorgeous.

At the same time, he is set up as a target and focus. This is not to embarrass him with this bigger and more gorgeous stage.

Although he may embarrass himself on this stage, there are not so many things that can be said clearly in the All-Star arena. Jordan's performance has been ruined, and not just once.

But there is no doubt that this time David Stern has arranged this stage so big and so gorgeous, and put him in the center of the focus. He is preparing to use this All-Star to officially put him on the lap of the NBA spokesperson, the first person, above all NBA stars.

Although he already has such a position and such momentum, fans and media all over the world also think so, but the league has not yet recognized it.

So, for many other people who participated in the All-Star weekend this year, this weekend is a relaxing occasion.

But for Yes, he needs to do a lot of things, even if he does not participate in some activities of the All-Star, but he still needs to show up.

For example, in the game before the All-Star Rookie Challenge, the McDonald's All-Star Charity Game, Yes watched the whole game from the sidelines, watching the whole game expressionlessly. At the same time, when NFL star Owens raised the MVP trophy, he also applauded with the audience expressionlessly.

"Yes, this kind of game is boring, right?"

"..."

"Haha, boring, I can beat ten people by myself!"

Afflalo whispered proudly in Yes's ear.

As if it was a proud thing that one person could really beat ten of these people.

"Yes, next is our own stage!"

"Tonight's stage is a bit big, so big that I want to be very excited!"

Afflalo's face was full of excitement, and Westbrook next to him was also full of excitement.

From the faces of Afflalo and Westbrook, it can be seen that this is the effect David Stern wants.

This stage is designed for him, but at the same time, this stage does not reject anyone who wants to perform and shine on it!

At 8:30 pm on February 14, 2009, the Phoenix Suns' home court, the American Airlines Arena, which can accommodate more than 18,000 spectators, was packed tonight.

A game that should not have been so popular,

now it was so popular that even David Stern on the sidelines felt a little scared.

"I used to see Yes playing on the court in a jersey, but this time I saw Yes standing on the sidelines in a suit, it was really, really strange!"

"Before tonight, I had never seen Yes in a suit, so cool and stylish!"

Listening to the excited voices around him, David Stern was very satisfied.

This year's All-Star Game was a reform of his. The grouping and teaming format of the entire All-Star weekend made the competition more interesting, and the sense of belonging and honor among the players was also improved.

In the past, these young players in the All-Star Rookie Challenge were not considered real All-Stars.

But after his reform this year, they are also members of the Yes team, just like the All-Star players in the All-Star Game. The games they participate in during the All-Star Weekend will also be counted into the team's results, just like the players in the All-Star Game.

When they are playing, the most popular player in the NBA, the leader of the entire team, is standing on the sidelines of the court. The players sitting on the sidelines cheering and cheering for him are the players in the All-Star Game, and none of them are absent, all sitting there neatly!

David Stern feels that he has arranged such a huge stage for his players. Those players who are unwilling to be the supporting role of Yes, on such a stage and in such an atmosphere, will definitely make this year's All-Star Weekend extremely exciting!

The atmosphere in the stadium is very warm now. Most of the audience came here to see Yes, but seeing that the players on both sides of the court are really like that, it instantly becomes interesting.

"Boys, get high!"

"This is the best stage for you to show your talent and ability in front of the whole world, in front of Yes, and in front of us!"

The first-year coach is Yes, but seeing how O'Neal stimulated these first-year young people to blush, people who don't know would think that the first-year coach is O'Neal.

This fat guy is stealing the show!

Kobe, who was sitting there, saw it at once that this fat guy was stealing the show. This petty guy was taking revenge on Yes for disliking him when he chose him.

This fat guy is just this much, he doesn't dare to take revenge directly and likes to play these empty tricks.

However, this fat guy's mouth is as good as always.

On the first-year side, under the leadership of the 'assistant coach' O'Neal, everyone's fighting spirit was aroused.

Except for Mike Beasley, who looked calm and peaceful like a saint, it can be clearly seen on the faces of others that they can't wait to fight on the court.

On the first-year side, O'Neal was a little too much, and on the second-year side, it all became Garnett's stage.

Garnett may not be as good as O'Neal in terms of talking skills.

O'Neal's talking skills can make people blush.

And Garnett is not much worse. Although he can't make these young people blush, he can make them beat their chests and stamp their feet and scream.

Moreover, the participation of the first-year players in the second grade is obviously much higher than that in the first grade.

In the first grade, except for O'Neal, others like Sun Yue stood there like a little minion, while Oden and Yi Jianlian were on the Yes team in the regular game, but in the rookie challenge, they were on the second-year team!

As for Nowitzki, he was too shy, Richard Jefferson was too small, Kobe and O'Neal didn't get along well, O'Neal was screaming, and Kobe wanted to run to the Yao Ming team next door.

As for another All-Star James of the Yes team...

James was the only one who was still sitting there and didn't stand up. This posture, even ordinary audiences can see, this clear stream in the NBA undercover world, is he preparing to stab Yes for Wade?

On Team Wade, backstabbed Wade for Yes.

On Team Yes, backstabbed Yes for Wade...

This is too weird.

This year's All-Star Rookie Challenge was very lively.

But if it weren't for the presence of O'Neal, the first-year player who stole the show, the first-year player would have been completely defeated by the second-year player with the All-Star support before the game.

"Did Team Yes really look a little bit doomed this All-Star weekend?!"

"Indeed, Team Yao Ming looked more committed and more imposing, and stronger."

"This time David Stern made such a big noise just to build momentum for Yes. If the 10 million US dollars prepared by David Stern was donated in the name of Yao Ming and Team Yao, would David Stern and Yes be embarrassed?"

"It's embarrassing!"

The opening of the Rookie Challenge did make many viewers who supported Team Yes sweat on the sidelines and in front of the TV.

The strength of the All-Star Game Yes Team and Yao Ming Team is a little different. Everyone knows that the four strongest positions in the five positions in the NBA are in Yao Ming's team.

People usually pay more attention to the players in the All-Star Game, and there is not much discussion about the All-Star Rookie Game.

Now when seeing the first-year Yes Team and the second-year Yao Ming Team standing on the court, many people feel that the gap is also quite large.

The starting lineup of this year's Rookie Challenge, the five starting players of the first-year Yes Team are Gasol Jr., Mike Beasley, Westbrook, Derrick Rose and James Harden...

A center seems to be leading four outside players?

Four outside players are fine, and they are all the kind that need to hold the ball. Is one ball enough to score?

The strength is slightly inferior. Afflalo, one of the Big Three in the last year, is still sitting on the bench. These people who come up are still so unbalanced.

"Although Yes is the direct disciple of the greatest tactician in basketball history, Master Lorenzo Romar, it now seems that Yes did not learn the essence of tactics from Master Romar."

"Tactics is a rigorous subject. Yes is a rather willful and idealistic person. He is not naturally suited to study these tactics that require a little dirty heart and are not so simple. This is understandable."

"From the fact that Yes chose the starting lineup as the head coach this time, except for Gasol, all of them are brave and straightforward. It can be seen."

Compared with the unreliable first-year players, the second-year players, Oden, Yi Jianlian, Jeff Green, Nick Young, and Mike Conley, are much more reliable.

The lineup that Yao Ming arranged is quite normal.

"This is also in line with Yao's personality. This lineup is very meticulous. There are centers, power forwards, small forwards, shooting guards, and point guards. The lineup is very normal, not as spiritual as Yes."

When the first-year players and the second-year players all stood in the center circle of the court, the visual experience created by the contrast between the players on both sides was very strange.

Compared to the sophomores, the first-year players look much shorter and thinner, and even give people the feeling that the players on both sides are not at the same level.

The first-year players, such as one big and four small players, face the normal lineup of the second-year players. The one who is under the most pressure is Marc Gasol, the first-year center on the court.

In the Seattle Supersonics, although Milicic is Oden's opponent for a long time, he has also competed with Oden. There is a little competition, but the three of them can't handle Oden and his brother.

Although Oden no longer has his brother by his side, he still has Yi!

But Milicic and Millsap are really gone by his side!

Should Milicic come to the sidelines for a guest appearance?

Gasol is under a lot of pressure, but Oden's face is full of confidence.

Although he is an All-Star of the Master Team, even if he is deep in the Yao Team, he will go all out. He will not like to backstab like LeBron James!

With a whistle, referee Crawford threw the basketball in his hand high, and Oden jumped over Gasol with great force.

"The gap is too big!"

"The gap between Marc Gasol and Oden is too big!"

"The Yes team is going to be in trouble tonight!"

The visual experience caused by the jump ball between Oden and Gasol was quite amazing. Gasol felt like he didn't jump up and was directly knocked out by Oden.

After Oden successfully jumped, Conley, who cooperated very well with Oden, launched an attack directly after receiving the ball.

"Not only are the players stronger, the sophomore team also has better tacit understanding!"

"The first-year team also has a combination like Oden and Conley, and Love, Afflalo and Westbrook can also become the tactical core of the team like Oden and Conley, but Yes let Afflalo and Love stay on the court!"

"Although the first-year team is not the opponent of the second-year team with Afflalo, Love and Westbrook as the core, they should not lose that much!"

"Now, it's hard to say how much the first-year team will lose in this game!"

"Beautiful fast break, beautiful pass, beautiful shot!"

"Yi received Greg Oden's fast break pass and made a mid-range jump shot!"

Swish!

The second-year team got two points first.

A smooth two points that made many viewers who supported Yes and the first-year team feel a little desperate.

"The second-year team's attack really crushed the first-year team in all aspects. In terms of tactics, player strength, and tacit cooperation, the two teams are not on the same level at all!"

The second-year team finished their attack, and when it was the first-year team's turn to attack, the audience on the sidelines saw the difference in strength between the two sides more clearly.

The second-year team's attack was just smooth.

And turning around, on the first-year team, James Harden immediately returned a cancerous arc-top dribble for 15 seconds...

Seeing James Harden dribbling alone, many people on the sidelines were stunned.

Isn't this too xjbd? !

"James Harden started!"

"James Harden lit up Nick Young!"

"James Harden rushed towards Greg Oden!"

"James Harden was knocked over!"

And, this is too simple!

Looking at James Harden who was knocked over on the court, the originally excited and crazy scene became extremely quiet.

Even James, who had been sitting on the sidelines and was very entangled, was blinking in surprise.

"Isn't this gap too big?"

"The gap is all-round!"

Yes, who has never been humiliated, and has never been beaten by 58 points, will not be...

Thinking of this, James and a 1.83-meter-tall man in the stands who wrapped himself tightly with a hat and glasses stood up almost at the same time.

The atmosphere on the sidelines was very quiet and weird.

Even O'Neal, who had always been excited and crazy, looked at the scene that just happened on the court with his mouth wide open.

The attack of this bearded kid just now was even more independent than that venomous snake at its most independent!

He was running alone for so long, without looking at his teammates at all, and he wanted to go all out when he found an opportunity.

Who do you think you are? Don't you know how powerful Oden's defense is?

How did Yes train tactics this afternoon?

O'Neal felt that he was a bit unlucky in trying to steal the limelight from Yes just now.

If the freshman really got beaten by 58 points, and he stole the limelight from the head coach, wouldn't he be screwed by Yes?

Thinking of this, O'Neal, who had been treating himself as a first-year head coach since the game started, carefully retreated from the sidelines in front of Yes to his seat quietly, and sat down at lightning speed.

"Coward!"

O'Neal thought no one noticed.

Kobe, who had been keeping his eyes on O'Neal, cursed inwardly.

This fat guy is as cowardly as ever!

Why didn't you act so cowardly when you were trying to get benefits!

Look at how calm Yes is!

58 is 58, what's there to be afraid of!
