At the beginning of the second half, Boozer hit a jumper and caused Kaman to foul.

After the free throw, he shouted twice. It was obvious that he enjoyed the night.

Anthony made two consecutive breakthrough layups. Since both teams played at a faster pace, it was difficult for Yao Ming to touch the ball on the court. Stoudemire turned around and dunked, and James dunked again, and then Yao Ming grabbed it

Scored a jump shot on an offensive rebound.

This was his first score of the second half.

It is worth mentioning that Haslem of the Miami Heat had a chance to dunk after stealing the ball, but he did not choose to dunk. This aroused dissatisfaction among the fans, who booed Haslem from the sidelines.

But when it comes to Yao Ming, these boos can no longer be heard.

Instead, there were some cheers.

Except that there is indeed a contrast between Yao Ming and his gentle movements.

Another thing is that during the "Carnival" in the afternoon, the fans got to know Yao Ming better.

When the rookies were training earlier, official staff brought lucky fans into the field early to watch. At the end of the training, coach "Skyhook" Abdul-Jabbar asked everyone to walk from the baseline to the center line for the last shot.

.

Then the music started playing.

Along with the music playing on the sidelines, Ginobili danced a popular hip-hop dance while walking. Seeing him pouting his butt in a leisurely and contented manner, his teammates couldn't hold it back and started dancing to the beat of the music.

So many people danced, and the atmosphere suddenly became much better.

Immediately afterwards, it was no longer improvisation, but everyone was asked to come up with a section.

Because the fans on the sidelines are very happy to watch, and the purpose of holding All-Star Weekend is to give back to the fans.

I don't know whether it was because he was shy or because he really couldn't jump. He saw that everyone was twisting very hard, but Yao Ming tried to "fool" him with normal steps.

It's a pity that the fans didn't agree, and the coaches on the sidelines didn't agree either.

Assistant coach Michael Cooper became anxious and pulled Yao Ming to demonstrate.

Under Cooper's command, Yao Ming also learned to thrust up and down, but the soft belly and hip dance movements could not be learned at once. Yao Ming's movements were like a clumsy bear.

The fans on the sidelines burst into laughter.

It also brought us closer to this "little giant" from the East.

Looking at his deft turns and small hooks on the court now, it is in sharp contrast to what he did not long ago, so there will be no boos.

Besides, among people who are 2.26 meters tall, Yao Ming is probably the most dexterous in playing ball.

However, dunking is indeed enough to consume physical energy. As the game progressed, the two teams began to make more mistakes. At 14 minutes and 15 seconds before the end of the game, the sophomore led 91-74, and the freshman requested a timeout. Boozer made two free throws, and Yao Ming was replaced.

Next, he already got 15.

Wade scored on a fast break, Stoudemire scored on a two-handed dunk, and Murray scored on a jumper to bring the sophomore's score to triple digits.

When there were 10 minutes left in the game, the sophomore lead had expanded to more than 20 points. Wade scored a jumper, Bosh broke through the baseline and scored a dunk. Murray hit a three-pointer with a zero-degree jumper, and Kaman was in the basket.

Score a one-handed dunk.

With 5 minutes and 42 seconds left before the end of the game, the second graders led the first graders 120-99 and the former requested a timeout.

After returning, James hit a three-pointer and his first-grade score reached 100 points.

Seeing that there was no hope of chasing the points, both sides performed dunks again, but their physical energy was indeed exhausted. This can be seen from the fact that the players on the court dunked frequently, but many of them dunked the ball away.

In the end, the second-year rookie defeated the first-year rookie 142-118.

Yao Ming played 15 minutes and scored 6 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists. Stoudemire was elected as the MVP of this game.

The final score was 142-118, setting the highest scoring record since the 10-year Rookie Challenge.

The previous record was 132-112 for first-year rookies in 2003 and 112 for second-year rookies, which was what Jiang Dalin led the team last year.

Looking at Stoudemire winning the cup, Jiang Dalin felt a little sorry for Yao Ming, but he was really not suitable to play in this kind of rookie challenge.

Moreover, he would play in the All-Star Game later, so even if he did not win the award, Yao Ming did not feel disappointed. He had no expectations before the game.

Then the second day of the All-Star Weekend arrived.

The first thing to do is "Shooting Star".

The first team to play was the San Antonio Spurs. This team was composed of future Warriors head coach Cole, Ginobili and NBA player Archie. Their previous shots were not smooth, but the female player Archie

The crucial 3-pointer took a total of 46 seconds.

The Los Angeles Clippers, composed of Jaric, Tinsley and Cummings, took 49.8 seconds and Jaric hit a midfield ball.

The Detroit team was composed of Stackhouse, Ford and Sully. The previous steps were completed relatively normally, but the veteran center Sully had to shoot five or six times from outside the three-point line, which he was not good at, before he succeeded. Surprisingly, he succeeded.

Or he hit a super long 3-pointer from midfield in one shot!

However, they spent a total of 1 minute and 05 seconds and had lost hope of winning the championship.

The Los Angeles first team, composed of "Magic" Johnson, Fisher and Leslie, was very good at all events. In the end, it only took 43.9 seconds to pass all the tests, and Fisher made the final shot.

In the end, the Los Angeles Lakers won.

All I can say is that he is really restrained!

Whether it's the regular season or the All-Star Game, the Lakers are "blood-suppressing" against the Clippers.

After "Shooting Star" came the "Skills Challenge". Last year, this project entered the NBA All-Star Weekend Challenge for the first time and unexpectedly gained huge popularity.

This program has been preserved ever since.

The people participating in this event are Fisher from the Lakers and Baron Davis from the Hornets.

The "bearded generation" is really good this season, averaging 23.3 points and 7.9 assists per game. He was also selected for the All-Star Game for the second time.

In addition, Marbury, who transferred to the Knicks from the Suns, has averaged 20.1 points and 8.7 assists per game so far this season. He is the only active player in the NBA who has averaged more than 20 points and more than 20 assists per game in his career.

8 players, and only Oscar Robertson has done this in history.

Such a guy is called a "lone wolf", no wonder he is unhappy.

In addition, the Nuggets' "dwarf" Boykins also participated in this skills challenge. He is currently the shortest player in the NBA, with a height of only 1.65 meters. The picture of standing with Yao Ming will also become the future

"World Famous Painting".

It is worth mentioning that this year, he had the best season of his career, averaging 10.7 points and 4 assists per game. I am afraid that many people who are 1.90 meters or even 2 meters cannot achieve this data. Boy

The strength of Jins is evident!

The first person to appear in the preliminaries was Davis. All events were a success, and it only took 28.7 seconds.

Next was Marbury. He had trouble with the 3-pointer in the center circle. It took him 2 attempts to succeed, and the final time was 36.4 seconds.

Then came Boykins, who was also not very comfortable outside the three-point line. It took him three attempts to hit the ball, and it took 34.9 seconds in the end.

Fisher, the host country, was not very successful in the ground pass, but he did not make any mistakes after that. It only took 31.6 seconds to enter the final with Davis.

At this time, there was a huge cheer.

They didn't expect Fisher to make it to the next round.

In fact, not only did they not expect, but Fisher himself did not expect that he could actually advance to the next round.

But in the finals, things didn't go so smoothly for him. His performance in both passing and three-point shooting was not as good as in the first round, with a total time of 37.6 seconds.

Davis maintained a good condition and basically passed the test in one go. He ended the final layup with a slam dunk in only 31.6 seconds, and finally won the championship.

Compared with the result at the end of the preliminaries, no one was surprised this time. Obviously, this result was within their expectations.

Baron Davis held the cup, and looking at his high-spirited look, Jiang Dalin just said, "It's a pity."

Then, the three-point shooting contest began, and the popularity of this event gradually surpassed that of the slam dunk contest.

There are many reasons, the most important of which is...

Compared with the dunk contest, those stars prefer to participate in the three-point shooting contest.

Before the shooting contest started, it is worth mentioning that the SuperSonics' Barry Sr. finally chose to withdraw due to injury.

The person who replaced him in the three-point shooting contest during the All-Star Weekend was "American Jay" Korver.

Others participating in the three-point shooting contest include the previous champion Stojakovic, Lewis of the Seattle SuperSonics, Leonard of the Denver Nuggets and Mobley of the Houston Rockets.

In addition, there is Billups who is on the same team as Jiang Dalin.

Stojakovic of the Kings hopes to become the second player to win this tournament three times after "Big Bird" Larry Bird.

In the preliminaries, he also entered the finals with the highest score of 21 points as expected.

In the final, his opponents were Philadelphia 76ers rookie Korver and Denver Nuggets' Leonard.

It was a pity that Billups fell in the preliminaries.

His shooting rhythm is obviously not as good as those more pure shots, even if his name is "Mr. Key".

Leonard scored 18 points in the preliminaries and again in the finals.

Korver scored 19 points in second place in the preliminaries, but only scored 15 points in the finals.

Stojakovic made his third appearance in the final.

There was a huge cheer at the scene, and everyone wanted to witness history.

He started very smoothly, but only scored 4 points out of 12 points at the third and fourth shooting points. When he stood at the last baseline shooting position, he only scored 10 points.

This means that he must hit all 4 ordinary balls and the last flower ball to tie Leonard.

Amid the crazy shouts of the fans, Stojakovic hit all the first four ordinary balls.

Before the most critical last 2-point ball shot, he stabilized himself a little and then made a decisive move, but the ball spun around the basket and slipped out of the net.

This once again shows that Peja has no big heart...

In short, it will be soft at the critical moment.

It is worth mentioning that this is a common problem among the Kings.

Because of this, Chris Webber encountered knee trouble this season, and Peja temporarily led the team. The final record was obviously not as good as before.

But Stojakovic said: "I am not disappointed. Of course it would be great to win three consecutive championships, but this idea does not add any pressure to me."

Jiang Dalin was sure that this man's whole body was soft when he died, but his mouth must have been hard.

Leonard performed the miracle of the little man.

During his acceptance speech, he also seemed very excited and was incoherent several times.

Finally, the much-anticipated slam dunk contest arrives!

This time the contestants include defending champion Jiang Dalin’s good brother Jason Richardson.

He won easily last time, which gave him the idea of ​​defending his title.

Well, actually he wanted to participate in the three-point shooting contest, but the number of people was already full. He could only settle for the next best thing and participate in the dunk contest.

Then there is Ricky Davis, now of the Boston Celtics. After saying "I thought he was here to assist me," Davis' current performance in Boston is obviously not as good as before, and his self-confidence has been affected.

Strong interference, and this time he is here to regain his confidence!

Also on the roster is Freed Jones of the Indiana Pacers.

And the Nuggets' Chris Anderson, the "Birdman" who once played for the CBA Zhongnan Steel Team. Of course, he is not a Birdman yet.

Among these people, Richardson is undoubtedly the most popular. This is his third consecutive slam dunk contest.

The mutual achievements between him and Jiang Dalin two years ago made him proud even though he lost, and later won the "Slam Dunk King" and gained a wave of fans.

In the pre-match predictions, he also topped the list with 65% of the votes.

Davis was the first to appear. His first action was a layup from the right side, then turned around and dunked in a 360-degree loop. The action was extremely chic and resembled the action in a video game. The judges unanimously scored 9 points!

This result is still very good!

Next came "Birdman" Anderson, who performed a layup and backhand dunk. However, his score was only 42, and the audience booed the judges.

Jones performed the most beautiful move in this round, hitting the ball with one hand and hitting the ball with one hand. It was very difficult. Five judges gave it a perfect score of 50 points.

When he saw this action, memories suddenly came to him, and Jiang Dalin remembered that he was the winner of this dunk contest.

Richardson came on the field at this time, and I don’t know if he saved his moves for the final. This time he simply performed a crotch move, and easily scored 45 points.

His movements are indeed beautiful!

But this also put pressure on him because he was behind two players.

But he soon became less nervous. In the second round, Davis marched along the baseline at a zero angle, took out the ball from his crotch and dunked it with both hands behind his back. The action was very beautiful, but the judges only gave him 31 points.

Anderson's second goal was to throw the ball head-on to the backboard, and then he jumped up and dunked with both hands in the three-second zone. I don't know if it was because he was booed in the previous round or because he thought this ball was really beautiful. The referees gave it a 45

point.

In this round, Jones changed to a side thrust and completed the side dunk at an extremely fast speed. It was not very difficult and not as beautiful as the first shot. The judges gave him 42 points.

From here we can also see Richardson's experience. His difficulty is gradually increasing. In this round, he threw the ball head-on towards the backboard, caught it and dunked it with one hand. Richardson

His jumping height and smooth movements made all five judges stand up and give him 10 points.

Yes, 50 points!

After two rounds, Richardson and Jones entered the finals with 95 and 92 points respectively.
