The ball jumper here in the east is none other than Jiang Dalin.

Two Chinese players jumped the ball for the All-Star game, and a huge burst of cheers rang out in the domestic CCTV live broadcast room. This scene was something that domestic commentators and fans could never have dreamed of.

The NBA used to be so far away from China.

This time, that is, six or seven years ago.

Who would have thought at the time that in just six years, two Chinese players would become the starters for the All-Star Game, standing together and serving...

This is something no one thought of.

Therefore, all the fans watching at this moment have light in their eyes!

"Dayao, look what that is."

Jiang Dalin was seriously waiting for the referee to serve, and suddenly pointed to the side. Yao Ming followed him and looked to the side, and Jiang Dalin took advantage of the opportunity to seize the initiative.

This time, everyone laughed, even Yao Ming himself laughed.

Of course the first ball has to be given to Michael Jordan.

Yao Ming stood in the low post and watched Michael Jordan come over with the ball. In 1985, when Jordan participated in the All-Star Game for the first time, Yao Ming was still in kindergarten. At that time, he didn’t even know what basketball was, let alone

I didn’t know that I would have a deep relationship with basketball from now on.

Of course, if you really want to talk about it, it was Michael Jordan's first time participating in the draft. Most of the people standing on the field were not very old, and Jiang Dalin was only 2 years old.

At that time, Big Ben was still at the age of playing games, while Big Z had already shown his talents in basketball and football. Of course, Big Z said this himself. He did not expect that he would grow so tall.

It is worth mentioning that watching today's game, you really have a feeling that things are different and people are different.

Because standing in front of the Eastern Conference All-Star bench, their coach was none other than Michael Jordan's most hated guy, "Smiling Assassin" Thomas.

If you had told Michael Jordan in 1990 that Thomas would be your head coach one day, I'm afraid he would have immediately replied: "Is it a game without me?"

But now, the two people can be under the same lens.

Just after Michael Jordan passed halftime, Kobe came up to him.

In the media interview before the game, some media asked Jordan who is your successor. Michael Jordan answered him directly without thinking about it: "Ginger!"

But this time the media were not dismissed so easily. Of course, it may be that they could see that Jordan was indeed in a good mood today. They asked Jordan to choose a successor among players in the same position as him.

Jordan's answer was: "Not one, but a group of them, all of them!"

Kobe was obviously not satisfied with this answer, not to mention that he had just lost to Michael Jordan in last year's finals, so he was full of energy in this game.

Michael Jordan faced him, hit a steady jump shot, and stepped back with a smile. He was familiar with himself, and he was also familiar with Kobe.

In the West, if the ball gets into Kobe's hands, it won't come out.

Kenny Smith said: "Wow, are you so fierce now?"

In the domestic studio, Director Zhang also said "hey": "It's like a needle point to the wheat field when it comes up. This ball looks good hey!"

Garnett originally planned to come up and set a pick-and-roll for Kobe, but thinking of Karl Malone back then, he finally decided to just stand on the sidelines and watch. He couldn't keep up with Kobe's brain.

"Whoa!"

Kobe also felt very good today and made a successful shot.

It's just that Michael Jordan didn't ask for the ball.

Before today's game started, he had anticipated many outcomes, including the fact that Kobe would be eager to challenge him for a duel, which was also within his expectations.

But even so, before today's game started, all he wanted to do was enjoy this All-Star weekend.

It's up to Kobe to challenge him.

But as far as Michael Jordan is concerned, even if Kobe has won two championships, he is still too far away.

Well, when he said that the successor is a group of people, he may have another meaning. It is these few who add up their honors and may be called "the next Michael Jordan".

Of course, as far as Jiang Dalin knows, it may not be enough together. Even if Kobe can follow his original career trajectory and win his two championship trophies, they will still be two championship trophies away from Jordan.

Championship trophy.

Not to mention other honors...

What Michael Jordan left behind at the No. 2 position is indeed a big mountain.

Even LeBron James, who has received various honors later, is far behind Michael Jordan in a single comparison of honors.

Allen Iverson held the ball forward. From the corner of his eye, he saw Jiang Dalin behind him eager to try. He also directly smashed the ball on the ground in front of him and walked quickly.

Jiang Dalin caught up in one step, grabbed the ball, jumped high into the air, and hit the ball directly into the basket with a "big loop" that rounded his arms.

With a "bang" sound, the entire audience suddenly burst into loud cheers.

The All-Stars on the bench all had their eyes widened. Jiang Dalin's first ball shocked their scalps.

We are all extremely talented people, why can he be so explosive!

Jiang Dalin's dunk ignited the passion of the audience and made everyone on the Western Conference court prepare for two dunks.

The ball goes to Kobe again.

This time, Kobe was no longer obsessed with competing with Michael Jordan. He signaled not to give the ball directly to him, but instead threw it on the backboard. Francis understood the idea and hit the board with a layup. Kobe followed suit and couldn't catch it with one hand.

He can only hold it with both hands, and then use a small lever to perform a one-handed chop!

It's quite exciting, but... completing such a dunk behind Jiang Dalin always makes people feel that something is missing. Maybe this is called "The dunk king is also different"!

The Eastern side continued to dominate. Vince Carter came up with the ball and replaced him. This ball made the whole audience roar with loud cheers.

And the viewing angle of this ball is better than that of Kobe.

Kobe was also speechless. If he had known better, he would not have dunked.

Caught between these two monsters, he is destined to be unable to excel.

The Western Conference seems to know that Dunk is no match for him.

Then you can only...

"ball!"

Kevin Garnett took the ball directly from outside the three-point line and shot with his hand.

Since you can't dunk, then do some extra work.

Just like an inside player shooting a three-pointer.

To be honest, after 20 years, the fans are really disgusted by this.

But in this era, it suddenly caused a lot of laughter.

The ball bounced out of the frame.

Jiang Dalin shouted "I'm coming!"

Also shot from the top of the key.

Now the whole audience was even more playful.

Kevin Garnett usually shoots two three-pointers occasionally in games, so to be really fresh, Jiang Dalin's three-pointers are more fresh.

But Jiang Dalin had something even more novel. He wanted the ball in the midfield and dribbled under his hips from outside the three-point line, which once again ignited the cheers of the audience.

Shaquille O'Neal was unhappy sitting on the sidelines.

Wow, a Chinese top pick stole my starting spot, and another Chinese top pick copied my moves.

Shaquille O'Neal never imagined that the biggest difficulty in his career would not be before 2000, but after he won two consecutive championships with high spirits.

This is crazy...

Lanshou, shiitake mushrooms!

Thinking that he was getting older day by day, and that the two of them had to slowly reach their prime, he felt even more congested in his chest.

Compared with Jiang Dalin, who played with ease on the court, Yao Ming had no sense of presence. It was his "good big brother" Francis who passed the ball to him and scored the first 2 points of the game with an alley-oop dunk. The audience burst into applause.

.

In the domestic CCTV studio, Director Zhang looked at this scene and said: "The main thing is that Dayao is still too nervous. He needs to score two goals to relax and find a feeling."

He thinks Yao Ming will slowly show his presence.

But in fact, Yao Ming only has one thought in his mind right now: I want to rest!

Today's schedule made him very tired, and he had no intention of performing seriously in the All-Star Game, even though this was his first appearance on the All-Star Weekend stage.

With more than 4 minutes left in the first quarter, the Western Conference was the first to take him off the field, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

On the east side, Jiang Dalin was still working hard. He asked for the ball at the midline and gave it directly to Anne Hathaway, who was sitting in the audience in front of him.

Not only everyone in the audience was stunned, but even Anne Hathaway was stunned.

"What am I doing?"

Jiang Dalin motioned to the basket.

At first, he was worried that Anne Hathaway wouldn't be able to throw the ball, but he soon found that he had been worrying too much. Although the throw was not far, it was also thrown near the free throw line. Jiang Dalin observed where the ball landed when it fell.

At that time, he was running at full speed. After the ball was about to fall, he successfully caught it and at the same time flew his whole body towards the basket.

He didn't know how long he had been flying in the air, but it was obviously longer than usual.

"Boom!"

Another dunk.

The scene exploded!

From the perspective of returning to defense, the place where Jiang Dalin jumped was actually in front of the free throw line, and then he slid all the way to the basket in the air and completed this dunk with both hands!

“It’s so explosive!”

The old guys on the bench were all frightened by the ball. They all thought to themselves, what the hell kind of monster is this!

Jiang Dalin walked over and high-fived Anne Hathaway. Seeing Anne Hathaway's silly smile after her high-five, which was not up to the rhythm, a large group of fans suddenly felt that this year's All-Star Weekend was boring.

Fortunately, Jiang Dalin also knew that "dog abuse" should not be abused too harshly. After that, he did not interact with Anne Hathaway anymore and focused on the game.

The referee still ruled that his dunk went in. It was the All-Star game anyway, and no one would care about whether the two points counted. Since it caused the whole audience to scream, it was definitely a good shot.

Michael Jordan will continue to work hard. Although he has no idea of ​​​​playing any crazy performance in this All-Star Weekend, if he can score 20 points in this game, then he can become the main game of the All-Star Weekend.

The man who scored the most points in history, this record can be broken incidentally, and fans also expect him to win this record, so if Michael Jordan must have a goal in this game.

That is to get 20 points.

Since most of the first quarter was a "slam dunk" performance, when Michael Jordan got the ball, it was almost more than 8 minutes into the first quarter. Michael Jordan ultimately only scored 6 points in the first quarter.

However, he only needs to score 20 points, that is to say, he only needs to score 5 points in each quarter.

In the first quarter, he basically scored 1 more point.

In the second quarter, Kobe was also on full fire, and the Western Conference team gradually overtook the score.

At the end of the first half, the two sides were 61 to 65, with the Western Conference leading by 4 points.

Kobe Bryant scored 11 points. It is worth mentioning that this season, Kobe is ushering in the most mature season of his career. He averaged 28.6 points per game, second in the league. He averaged 7.3 rebounds and 6.7 times per game.

Assists and 2.2 steals, these are new highs in his career.

He finally began to truly enter the peak period of his career, but unfortunately he was still a year late. This was Michael Jordan's last season.

Maybe from this perspective, we can understand why he is always so anxious!

But the person with the most points in the Western Conference is Kevin Garnett. He made up one here and deducted one there, and by the end of the first half he had already scored 18 points.

The person with the most points in the East is Michael Jordan, who scored 12 points. Among the others, Jiang Dalin scored the closest to him, with 10 points, all of which were dunks.

It's not that there were no other shots. In the first half, Jiang Dalin took 5 crazy three-point shots, but didn't make any of them. He was definitely targeted!

His goal is to hit a three-pointer before the end of this game.

Yao Ming had no sense of presence in the first half. After scoring those two points, he never had a chance to perform. Jiang Dalin wanted to pass the ball to him.

Of course, it's not that Yao Ming didn't have the opportunity to take action. Maybe he felt that his strict scoring style was not in line with the All-Star Weekend, and he was deliberately avoiding the ball.

Then came the much-anticipated intermission.

Originally, this year's All-Star halftime was a very heartwarming moment and has become a classic shot of the NBA.

First, Mariah Carey sang the song "Heroes". When her infectious voice sounded leisurely over the Phillips Arena, in just a few minutes, the entire scene was immersed in Michael Jordan's music.

Throughout his career, everyone is recalling his greatness.

To be honest, Michael Jordan deserves such a farewell party.

Perhaps it was fate that he had to have such a farewell party, so God allowed him to choose to come back for the second time.

This is the most correct way for "God" to leave the court.

Only this time, Michael Jordan met Jiang Dalin, and the story of the "God of Basketball" became more legendary than the original one.

This time, Mariah Carey accepted the invitation, still wearing the Wizards No. 23 special dress, elegantly appeared on the stage, and with her voice, in a few minutes, led everyone watching this

All-Star Game fans revisited Michael Jordan's legendary career.
