Chapter 448 Jerry West takes action! The alliance situation is turbulent again! 【Subscription】
In mid-February, the Orlando All-Stars kicked off on time, and dozens of star players, countless spectators and movie stars all gathered in Orlando, the city of Disney.
Although this year's All-Stars lacked Lin Long, Kobe, Shaquille O'Neal and others, it has become the most bleak year in recent years, but there are still countless fans crazy about it, come to watch this annual NBA entertainment event.
In fact, the East Team is better without Lin Long and others. They still have Allen Iverson and Vince Carter, a new generation of popular superstars, and they are still full of highlights.
But without Kobe and Shaquille O'Neal, the West would have been a lot worse. Their starting roster was filled with the aging David Robinson, the boring Tim Duncan, and the defensive 'glove' Payton. , Just looking at these names, they are obviously more suitable for the playoffs or even the finals, but the All-Star Game is really not suitable for these few.
No way, after all, Kobe Bryant, who has the most gorgeous style of play in the entire West, and O'Neal, who has the most coquettish character, all missed this year's All-Star Game.
Fortunately, this year's All-Star Rookie Tournament adopted a new format, which finally gave the audience some new expectations.
The members of the rookie game have expanded from the first grade to the first grade and the second grade. At the same time, choosing more than 20 players from the two rookies to play the game is definitely more convenient and reasonable than selecting players from only one rookie. The level is naturally higher.
And because this year, only Chinese people generally participate in this event.
This rookie game has also become an All-Star game that attracts the most attention from Chinese people.
The general performance did not disappoint all Chinese people. His style of attacking and defending is very suitable for the almost completely non-defensive atmosphere of the All-Star Rookie Game, especially the first-year team has a team that is very happy to pass him. Ginobili with the ball.
In the whole game, he played for about 20 minutes, scored 19 points and 5 rebounds on 8 of 12 shots. Although he failed to win the mvp, his performance still amazed many people!
In the game, roughly whether it is a 3-point shot, a mid-range after a move, or a singles under the basket, all of them have the same appearance and make people addicted. Especially in the middle of the third quarter, he roughly faced the 1998 No. 4 rookie Jamison under the basket, showing off his fantastic footsteps.
The continuous feinting and stepping up and down made Jamison swayed from east to west, north and south, and he was roughly tricked into jumping several times in a row, making it very ugly.
When Jamison was completely shaken in the end and ended the round with a step-up layup, the audience was filled with enthusiastic cheers and shouts.
Lin Long and his good friend Billups, who were watching the game from the sidelines, even stood up in disgrace, one imitated roughly, the other imitated Jamison, and exaggeratedly re-enacted roughly the actions just now, causing the audience to burst into laughter again. .
Roughly closed his eyes, enjoying the cheers and shouts of the audience, it was all for him!
Even if Jamison has averaged 19 points and 7 rebounds per game this season, he is probably no longer afraid of him!
His self-confidence has completely returned!
In the end, the rookie match ended with a Year 1 victory!
Ginobili of the Celtics scored 11 points and 7 assists, Lewis 21 points and 5 rebounds, and the MVP of the rookie game was picked up by Elton Brand, the No. 1 draft pick from the Bulls!
In the dunk contest that followed, without Lin Long's participation, Carter, who played again, easily defeated the crowd and won the championship.
The champion of the 3-point contest was picked again by Hornacek, who participated in the competition again. He lost only 13 points in winning the championship, which was not even half of Lin Long's last year.
When all the individual events were over, everyone suddenly realized that without Lin Long, no matter the 3-point contest or the slam dunk contest, there was actually a lot less fun! It has almost become the biggest highlight and highlight of the All-Star!
In the days without him, the game is really less interesting.
And the subsequent All-Star Game has become the proof of this view!
The All-Star MVP was actually taken into the arms of Tim Duncan, the least and least good at playing the All-Star Game.
When the awards were presented, there were even sparse boos.
Not that the fans didn't like Duncan.
But even if Duncan made 12 of 14 shots, scored 28 points and 12 rebounds to lead the West to win easily.
But fans still don't like his style of laying up and never dunking, and never making more hooks when he can easily lick the basket.
The 12 goals that Duncan scored all came from the basket, but there were only 2 dunks, and they were all common people-style dunks that were just scratching the surface of the basket with both hands.
It's no wonder that all-star weekend, fans want to see the stars flying around and playing cute tricks.
Instead of Duncan's scrupulous teaching of basic scoring skills for interior players.
Just when this All-Star Game ended slowly in a dull and unfinished state, a piece of news that was enough to shock the league suddenly detonated the entire league!
The Lakers made a brand new deal that shook the league!
Jerry West strikes again!
The former NBA legend and top team manager has been thinking hard about how to keep the team moving since the Christmas fight, and has been trying to bring changes to the team.
And all of this, finally after the All-Star Game, the melon was ripe and the official announcement was made.
Jerry West first sent Scott Pippen to the Vancouver Grizzlies, eager to get rid of their bad reputation, where Pippen will join Raheem and others Together, the Lakers got a $10 million trade exception and two 2000 and 2002 hand-on picks from the Grizzlies, the 2002 one without any first-round protection!
Immediately afterwards, Jerry West used the two first-round picks he obtained, as well as the Lakers' own 2000 first-round and 2025 first-round picks, plus a trade exception obtained from the Grizzlies, packaged and sent together. In Indiana, he got the league's top assassin and toughest shooter.
Reggie Miller!
The reason why West sold iron and overdrafted all the draft rights and futures the team could come up with to exchange for Reggie Miller, what he saw was his top firepower in the league and his shooting range all over the court!
