Chapter 166 As long as Jason Kidd is not allowed to score

I saw Anne Hathaway again. This guy was carrying big and small bags.

Five suitcases in three days, she is worthy of being a Hollywood actress!

It works!

In addition, Anne Hathaway also brought some photos of herself and placed them in the living room and Jiang Dalin's room.

In mid-January, she came to Jiang Dalin's house and saw the photos of her children sent by Kim Kardashian. At that time, she felt that her expression was strange, but it turned out that this was what she had planned in her heart!

After putting them up, she no longer felt so insignificant. Anne Hathaway even muttered: "There are really too few photos of us. This time we go to the All-Stars, we must take more photos..."

Jiang Dalin didn't say anything. As "Jiang Dalin's girlfriend", these were all things she could do, and he wouldn't feel like he was ruining the decoration of the house.

Perhaps the only difference is that the child's photos were taken by himself.

And Anne Hathaway did it herself.

But this woman is really good at finding angles. You can see her as soon as you enter the door.

Then they stayed at home one night before heading to Atlanta the next day.

On the first day of the All-Star Weekend, there was the Rookie Challenge. Originally, Jiang Dalin, as a sophomore, could play this year, but he already won the MVP of the Rookie Challenge last year, so he simply abstained from this year's Rookie Challenge.

.

For this reason, many media are saying that the first-year team is very likely to defeat the second-year team. After all, Jiang Dalin has retired and is missing a major force. Although the overall strength of the second-year team is still stronger than last year, it is not obvious.

Kwame Brown was very angry when he saw the outside world questioning the second-year team.

As the second pick in the first round in 2001, he felt that in the absence of Jiang Dalin, he had an obligation to say something as the leader of the second-year team: "I believe we can still win, this is a sure thing!"

At the same time, he felt that with Jiang Dalin gone, he would just have the opportunity to show off himself.

There are actually many capable players in the 2001 class, but because Jiang Dalin's shine has been overshadowed, many people are not very familiar with the other players in the 2001 class.

Now, it’s time for everyone to know who Kwame Brown is!

Jiang Dalin arrived in Atlanta on the first day of the All-Star Weekend. Since he didn't have to prepare for the game, he and Anne Hathaway took a good tour of the fan plaza outside the Hawks Arena.

It is now the All-Star Weekend, and the NBA has launched a lot of activities, including selling retro jerseys. In terms of design, compared to the original jerseys designed in the 1990s, in addition to the material being better, the entire pattern has also been slightly adjusted.

In short, they can be clearly distinguished.

Jiang Dalin bought a retro Karl Malone jersey and wore it.

After the news was published in the newspaper, Jiang Dalin received a call from Karl Malone that night. His tone was so exciting: "I knew it, I knew it!"

In the evening's Rookie Challenge, the second-year team won easily in the end. However, the most outstanding person in this challenge was not Kwame Brown, who thought before the game that Jiang Dalin was not around and could represent the 2001 class. Although he scored 18 points

The data of 12 rebounds and 2 blocks is still far behind Gasol's 24 points, 14 rebounds and 4 blocks!

This is even when Pau Gasol didn't play much...

The final Rookie Challenge mvp belonged to Jason Richardson. He scored 30 points, 6 rebounds and 7 assists, becoming the ultimate "Rookie Star"!

This season, Richardson has taken a step closer to scoring with the Nets, averaging 16.8 points, 4.5 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 steal per game. His performance is extremely comprehensive. He has the potential to become an All-Star.

The original Richardson had such talent, but unfortunately, due to various reasons, he did not become an All-Star player. Now because Jiang Dalin, a college teammate, is so famous, he is secretly working hard and is much more diligent than he originally was.

.In addition, he and Jiang Dalin were college teammates, and they "fell in love" with Jiang Dalin in the dunk contest last year. Although he did not win the "Slam Dunk King", his reputation did exceed that of himself at the same time.

After averaging more than 20 points per game this time, Jiang Dalin believes that the All-Star head coach will no longer turn a blind eye to him when choosing a substitute.

When Richardson stood under the spotlight, Jiang Dalin was off the court and gave him a thumbs up.

In this way, the two MVP trophies of the two Rookie Challenge games were won by the two of them.

This is the best result.

Yao Ming also played tonight, with a double-double of 16 points and 10 rebounds. However, there is a huge gap in strength between the first-year team and the second-year team.

He was unable to support himself alone, and in the end he could only watch the second-year team win.

However, it can be seen from this game that although physical fitness is still a big problem for Yao Ming, his current confrontation at the basket is not inferior at all. From Pau Gasol to Kwame Brown, no one can compete with them.

Take advantage of others!

In the past, after the Rookie Challenge, the first week of the All-Star Weekend ended, but this year is different. After this year's Rookie Challenge, fans are looking forward to it even more.

Because in February, the NBA official uniform team had already announced that there would be a new event during this year's All-Star Weekend called "Retro All-Stars."

Just from the name, you can tell that this is a plan to bring together those who have retired but not retired to play a game.

If the "Black and White Hegemony" brought the NBA back to stability from the brink of disintegration, then the 1990s, when stars were shining brightly and Jordan dominated the crowd, was definitely an era of rapid development for the NBA.

Although the "NBA 50" was just selected in 1996, it was a tribute to the past 50 years of the NBA. In fact, the 1990s are also worthy of tribute.

However, in order to be different from the anniversary celebration, it is naturally impossible to hold any kind of voting activity like "Top Ten Football Stars of the 1990s".

The disputes that belonged to that era have passed. What we want now is "love and peace." Even if we are just competing on the same field, David Stern believes that the fans in the audience will definitely cheer!

He was not wrong about this.

"Glider" Drexler!

"The best second-in-command in the NBA" Pippen!

"Flying Pig" Barkley!

When the retired superstars from the 1990s who were still able to play the ball walked onto the court again through the player tunnel, the whole arena was filled with excitement!

The cheers were overwhelming, and many fans were so excited that they couldn't help themselves.

Although some of these old guys' bodies have been completely deformed, this is their youth!

Jiang Dalin was also cheering along. This was not because of his youth, but the atmosphere at the scene was just a matter of cheering along!

In terms of the excitement of the game, it is actually not as good as the Rookie Challenge, but who makes them the superstars of the 1990s? Even a simple dunk can cause cheers lasting up to 10 seconds.

But yes, this is really difficult for these old guys!

After the Retro All-Star Game, the official also specially played some classic shots from the 1990s to commemorate that unforgettable era!

It was only after this short video was played that the first day of the 2003 All-Star Weekend officially ended.

After it ended, the fans at the scene ran to the temporary store one by one and looted all the retro jerseys specially made in 2003. At this moment, all the fans were thinking about was the 1990s that would never come back!

After the game, the folks from home even went to the nightclub to have fun together.

And when the men and women in the nightclub saw them appearing, the whole atmosphere once again reached a new climax!

All in all, it was a sleepless night for Atlanta fans!

Jiang Dalin also gained something this night. The NBA launched All-Star peripherals. He bought a set of big-headed dolls that were first released in the Eastern and Western All-Stars in 2003.

Then the All-Star Day came.

Michael Jordan finally agreed to participate in the All-Star Three-Point Shooting Contest.

If there is anything imperfect in the entire career of the "God of Basketball", it may be the embarrassing record of the lowest score in history in the three-point shooting contest!

Before the 1990 All-Star Weekend Three-Point Shooting Contest began, no one expected that Michael Jordan could leave such a "shattering, earth-shattering" record.

Sure enough, Michael Jordan, even Michael Jordan, would lose even more outrageously than others!

This embarrassing "No. 1 in history" has always been there. Michael Jordan had no intention of proving himself, but who told him that after last season, his entire career was too perfect?

For Michael Jordan, who has always been strong in life.

He had to erase this flaw!

Moreover, he has been practicing three-pointers for a season. No matter what, he shouldn't be bad this time, right?

Of course, this was what he thought after choosing to participate in the All-Star Three-Point Shooting Contest, but when he woke up early this morning, Michael Jordan suddenly felt that something was wrong.

The commotion last night lasted until 3:30 in the morning. He drank a few more drinks because he was happy, and seemed to have been given a "champagne bath." He didn't know why this happened. Maybe it was because of the atmosphere.

!

He didn't take it seriously at first, but when he woke up today, he felt like his head was spinning and his nose was very stuffy.

This is……

Got a cold?

Michael Jordan hurriedly got up and went to the hospital. It was obvious that he had a cold. It was not an ordinary cold, but a severe cold. It was almost as severe as the "flu" he had in the Finals!

omg!

Did you look like this after taking a "champagne bath"?

I'm really...

Michael Jordan feels old again.

But the problem now is that in this state, we don’t know what level we can perform by then.

If he plays normally in the end, Michael Jordan believes he can win the championship. After all, he has been practicing three-pointers this year. Maybe from the perspective of shooting percentage, the 33.3% shooting rate is not high, but this is because the Wizards

The tactics required him to shoot some unreasonable three-pointers.

This will maximize the space.

If he really were allowed to shoot three-pointers "in the river", he believed that his average field goal percentage could reach 4...40...2,3...

Um!

Why am I so conservative!

Since it’s all assumptions!

That’s more than 50%!

Yes, that’s 50%!

But now that he has a cold, Michael Jordan is really not sure whether he can win the championship...

How about temporarily withdrawing from the competition?

A thought came to Michael Jordan's mind, no, no, we can't retreat!

If he really quits, others will think he is a coward!

He, Michael Jordan, the "God of Basketball", really has to be strong in his life!

Moreover, with his strength, even if he loses, it won't be too outrageous. If he catches a cold, others won't say anything to him and will actively find reasons for him.

But if we win the final championship!

"Ten years ago Michael Jordan won the championship with the flu, and 10 years later Michael Jordan won the three-point shooting contest with a bad cold!"

Thinking about that scene, Michael Jordan felt that it was a bit of a risk and it was worth taking!

Jiang Dalin continues to enjoy this holiday.

On the second day of the All-Star Weekend, he still didn’t have a game, so he continued to walk around the city center with Anne Hathaway. Anne Hathaway specially brought a camera, taking pictures here and there, and even found passers-by to give to the two of them.

I bought a lot of photos.

It is estimated that there are three or four volumes.

Sure enough, no matter what era, this woman always likes to be patted.

Speaking of which, in the past two days, the two of them have frequently been in public places, even in pairs, and the entertainment media has reported a lot about the two of them.

Although he doesn't like the words used about Jiang Dalin, such as "passionate seed" and "love prodigal son", but... just be happy!

It was not until after 7 o'clock in the evening that they arrived at the scene when the skills challenge started.

The NBA All-Star Skills Challenge is a new project entering the All-Star Weekend this year. Its purpose is to showcase the skills of the best point guards in the league. The content of the game is for four players to compete in a variety of different situations within a specified time.

Complete dribbling, passing and shooting in an obstacle course, and the one with the least time is the winner.

This project was not just thought of...

Last summer, the American Dream Team, composed of five NBA players, failed to win at the World Championships in Indiana held in their home country.

They lost to Argentina and the former Yugoslavia.

This ended the American men's basketball team's record of winning 58 consecutive games in international competitions, and also caused the American Dream Team, which claimed to be the "basketball supremacy", to lose face.

And this also made the Dream Team miss the semi-finals in the World Championships for the first time.

After learning from the painful experience, NBA officials and the media realized that the players' admiration for physical confrontation and personal performance and their neglect of basic skills were the key to the defeat of the Dream Team 5. The Skills Challenge came into being!

The NBA also put a lot of effort into the first skills challenge. They invited Kidd, Payton, Marbury and Parker, the four point guards with the best ball-handling skills in the league, to compete on the court.

.

In the end, Jason Kidd was superior. He made only three mistakes in the final, defeated Gary Payton, and became the champion of the first Skills Challenge!

Jiang Dalin also had to sigh, as long as Jason Kidd is not allowed to score, then in other aspects, he is really full!
