Chapter 214 All-Star Game

In the final, it was Jones who shot first. The first ball was shocking. Jones seemed to want to show off his jumping ability and sense of distance. After throwing the ball high, he hit it with one arm and backhand in the air. A feeling of gliding lingered in people's hearts.

, the judges scored 50 points again!

Defending champion Richardson chose a very difficult move, turning 360 degrees in the air while switching hands to dunk. Originally, this move was too difficult. Richardson failed to do it four times in a row.

In the end, he changed his move and dunked the ball in, scoring 45 points.

But this time, I don’t know if Jiang Dalin was watching from the sidelines, but he actually made the dunk!

Of course, it's not a 360-degree turn in the air and a change of hands under the crotch.

That difficulty level is really too high.

But it also reached 279 degrees plus changing hands on the crotch!

The referees were also very considerate and gave an overall high score of 49 points, which was one point less than Jones.

But there was nothing I could do about it, Jones was really ruthless, just like a glider gliding by.

Jones came up with his own new idea in the second round. A friend threw the ball into the court from outside the court. Jones made a dunk. However, Jones unfortunately let go of the ball and touched the backboard lightly into the net. The judges gave him 36 points. The result was only

86 points.

This is the same as before.

It is worth mentioning that Richardson, who could easily defend the title, did not take advantage of this. He also chose a very difficult 360-degree turn in the air. As a result, the ball flew up and Richardson lost with 78 points and failed to achieve it.

The great achievement of winning three consecutive slam dunk contests.

In other words, he was originally capable of defending his title!

But he didn't want to be dishonest, so he still chose the spicy chicken dunk method.

But this time, Jones only had 36 points, and Richardson only needed 40 points to defeat him.

So he called Jiang Dalin and completed the last dunk with a crotch switch dunk similar to the one used by Vince Carter and Tracy McGrady!

With this dunk, he scored 45 points!

Defending the title successfully!

Jiang Dalin looked at him holding the trophy high. He was also sincerely happy and applauded as hard as he could.

This is how the second day of the All-Star Weekend came to an end.

Then comes the third day of the All-Star Weekend.

That’s the All-Star Game!

This is also the highlight of all previous All-Star Weekends!

The lineups of both sides were finally determined.

Eastern Conference starters: Jason Kidd, Allen Iverson, Vince Carter, Tracy McGrady, Jiang Dalin;

Substitutes: Kenyon Martin, Ben Wallace, Paul Pierce, Hamilton, Michael Reed, Baron Davis, O'Neal;

West starting lineup: Francis, Kobe Bryant, Kevin Garnett, Tim Duncan, Yao Ming;

Substitutes: Shaquille O'Neal, Brad Miller, Andrei Kirilenko, Peja Stojakovic, Sam Cassell, Ray Allen, Dirk Nowitzki;

It is worth mentioning that this All-Star Game will also be a watershed of an era. After the end of the 2003-04 season, many players went downhill and began to stay away from people's attention:

The king fell apart due to internal strife, and Peja left Indiana a year later, bidding farewell to the treatment of the leading lady;

Martin wanted to prove that he could survive without Kidd, so he went to Denver and suffered from altitude sickness for many years;

The swap between Tracy McGrady and Francis turned out to be not a good deal;

ak47 probably didn’t expect that this would be his last All-Star tour;

The Auburn Hills brawl ruined Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Artest.

In Hornets Journey West, Baron Davis became an All-Star for the first time and then fell into his dream of directing.

It was also after this season that Kobe gradually stood out from the "four major shooting guards".

It is indeed Los Angeles. There are so many stars on the sidelines. All kinds of big-name stars can be seen everywhere. Those who didn’t know it thought it was the Grammy Awards.

Probably because there are so many stars on the sidelines, these guys are very motivated.

After the first quarter started, Garnett grabbed a rebound in the frontcourt and scored a tip-in, then beat his chest domineeringly.

Jiang Dalin also caught the ball immediately, then turned and dunked. Kevin Garnett, who was standing behind him, quickly got out of the way. He didn't want to get into trouble on his big day.

This dunk was so fierce and domineering that Jiang Dalin didn't even need to make any moves, and the crowd burst into loud cheers.

Francis succeeded in a fast break and responded quickly, but he did not dunk, which caused a burst of boos from the audience.

He was speechless for a while. Is everyone's requirements for scoring so high now?

Jiang Dalin caught the ball for the second time and dunked under the basket again.

As soon as he came up, he dunked twice in a row, and he seemed very powerful!

It can be seen that after the game started, the shooting percentages of both teams were relatively high.

At this time, Yao Ming finally started to perform and scored a dunk under the basket. This was his first goal in this game.

O'Neal and Iverson cooperated in an alley-oop, and the former dunked the ball in.

Then Yao Ming and Duncan cooperated again, and Yao Ming scored a one-handed dunk.

The "little giant" dunked twice in a row. Jiang Dalin was also excited. O'Neal on the bench was anxious, and at the same time he felt maliciously targeted!

Next is Maddie’s show!

Not to mention anything else, Tracy McGrady was famous for his ability to dunk, and his alley-oops were basically just for fun.

Speaking of McGrady during the All-Star season, we have to mention his iconic self-throw and dunk. We all remember the classic self-throw and dunk in 2002, but we don’t know that this ball was also handsome in 2004.

Get a sum.

McGrady broke through Kirilenko, rushed into the penalty area and threw a rebound on the backboard. He caught the ball with both hands and dunked!

After Tracy McGrady, few people can perform this move smoothly in the game. Even if they can imitate this move, such as LeBron James, it is difficult for his slender calves, well-proportioned figure, and elegant pace.

copy.

This dunk won a lot of praise!

In the next period of time, there were various dunks again.

After Jiang Dalin showed off, Yao Ming and Francis cooperated and scored a dunk in the air.

Kenny Smith exclaimed on the commentary stand: "The two Chinese top picks tonight are really eager to attack!"

Kobe finally took his first shot. He was not very interested tonight and hit a three-pointer with a jumper.

At 5 minutes and 17 seconds before the end of the first quarter, the West led 19-15 and Carlisle requested a timeout.

Yao Ming replaced O'Neal, and Kidd hit a three-point jumper. This shot made everyone's eyes widen, as if they couldn't believe that Kidd could actually hit a three-pointer!

As the host, O'Neal was like his butt was on fire off the court. At this time, he was full of desire to perform. He grabbed the rebound and passed it to no one. He pushed directly to the frontcourt, lowered his center of gravity and turned around. He made a series of guard-style breakthrough moves and missed the layup!

However, when a big center plays like a guard, the effect has been achieved, and the audience cheered for it.

Shaquille O'Neal cared more about results than scoring goals. Seeing that everyone was excited, he walked back very satisfied.

The Eastern side continued to work, Iverson received the ball and threw it on the backboard casually, and Carter, who rushed over, made a sideways tomahawk dunk!

Iverson is a poet who usually throws out bricks to attract good news, but Carter dropped from the sky and dunked hard.

Fans cheered loudly for this cooperation.

Many fans were shouting: "One more, one more!"

Soon, they got their wish!

Just a few minutes later, such a performance appeared again. After the Eastern Conference stole the ball, Iverson launched a counterattack. It was still the original recipe - only this time Iverson threw it directly into the air. Carter understood it and caught the ball with ease.

Dunk hit!

This dunk even shocked Jay-Z on the sidelines!

O'Neal also dunked hard.

At the end of the first quarter, the East led the West 33-31. Yao Ming scored 6 points and 3 rebounds, and Carter contributed 9 points, becoming the highest scorer on both sides.

Arlin Iverson has sent out 4 assists.

He didn't do anything else in tonight's All-Star game. He passed alley-oop passes to his teammates. After the pass, Carter passed to McGrady.

I don’t know if he is addicted to the rumor, but during the break in the first quarter, this guy even said to Jiang Dalin: “Man, when the time comes, let’s cooperate with the two of them, shall we?”

Allen Iverson's attitude towards Jiang Dalin is even more enthusiastic than before.

Not only because he was more and more eager to join forces with Jiang Dalin, but more importantly, Larry Brown was treated badly in the Wizards. This incident made him happy for a long time and even opened the champagne.

Jiang Dalin nodded, there's nothing to say, just have fun!

He wasn't so excited just because he was in Los Angeles.

Don’t get me wrong about “little fish”!

After the start of the second quarter, Stojakovic hit a three-point jumper from the bottom line, and Pierce attacked the basket and scored a layup.

Two mediocre attacks, but they also caused huge cheers from Xi Na. Now the atmosphere is so good that even if someone rolls on the court, they can still get screams.

Both teams' offensive rhythm was very fast, but they also made many mistakes.

Fortunately, soon, the frequent alley-oop cooperation on the field made the atmosphere suddenly up again!

Artest scored a jumper, and Kobe shot another three-pointer and scored!

This is his second three-pointer in this game.

Everyone wants to know when this guy will get excited!

Martin and Kidd had a tacit cooperation at this time, and the former dunked the ball into the basket.

The ball was given to Kobe again, and his teammates in the Western Conference also hoped that Kobe could perform two performances. After all, this is Los Angeles.

It is worth mentioning that Kobe was not as eager to express himself in this All-Star Game as he was in the previous games. After O'Neal came on the court, he also played for O'Neal, seemingly to help O'Neal win the All-Star Game MVP.

But at this time, no matter how humble you are, you still have to show it.

Then facing Carter's interference, Kobe made a quick move and put the ball into the 21!

When it comes to drawbar skills, I really chose Kobe 15 years ago and Irving 15 years later. Kobe’s drawbar stay in the air at his peak is absolutely historical!

Three minutes before the end of the first half, the East led 57-56, and the West requested a timeout.

At this time, Yao Ming came on as a substitute and began to recuperate. The "little giant" who took the ball tried a three-pointer from the outside, but unfortunately the ball bounced off the basket and failed to go in.

Garnett grabbed the basket and scored a mid-range jumper. Jiang Dalin heard that the team was going to let him go, so after Ben Wallace grabbed the rebound, he asked him for the ball, and came up with a tomahawk dunk.

!

Even though I have watched too many dunks today, "Jiang Dalin's" dunks are indeed different from others, with a different kind of domineering quality.

Jiang Dalin left the stage amid cheers.

At the end of the first half, the East led the West 64-58.

During the halftime break, "Magic" Johnson stood in the middle of the field and delivered a speech. As the greatest star in the history of the Lakers, his popularity is really high. Even after retiring for so many years, after he played, he left the scene.

There were huge cheers, and he had been waiting for a long time before finally getting a chance to speak. He thanked the fans for coming to watch this year's All-Star Game.

At the beginning of the third quarter, Yao Ming turned around and scored a jumper. He really had a strong desire to score in this game!

O'Neal Jr. responded to his goal with a mid-range jumper.

When Yao Ming saw that this guy wanted to fight, he immediately hit O'Neal and scored with a hook under the basket, which brought the "little giant"'s score to double digits.

Little O'Neal twisted his aching chest, secretly thinking that Yao Ming didn't follow martial ethics!

McGrady once again dunked with his back in the air, this time the pass came from Jiang Dalin.

While returning to defense, he opened his sleepy eyes and gestured to Jiang Dalin, "This ball is very comfortable!"

He was happy!

Then Kobe responded with a dunk that broke into the paint and let everyone know what "Peter Pan" is!

As soon as Kobe dunked, Carter once again performed an alley-oop dunk.

The two teams tied at 75, and Yao Ming was replaced by O'Neal.

The "big shark" is here again!

Kobe Bryant's three-point shot at a zero-degree angle, the arc was very high, and it landed directly on O'Neal's head. "Shark" dunked alley-oop, and the "ok" combination completed the connection!

When O'Neal returned to defense, he hugged Kobe and gave him a hard kiss.

The relationship between these two people is really good now.

Allen Iverson finally found a chance to fulfill what he told Jiang Dalin, rushed inside and threw the ball high.

When he was begging to take action, he secretly cursed, "Cum!"

The result was that Jiang Dalin jumped up and slammed the ball into the basket.

He proved with practical actions that it’s okay to be high!

Allen Iverson is a bit stunned!

With 5 minutes and 44 seconds before the end of the third quarter, the West led 82-79 and the East requested a timeout.

Before Jiang Dalin came off the court, he cooperated with Hamilton and assisted him in a one-handed dunk.

Seeing the "Mask Man" instead of shooting three-pointers, instead dunking, there was a burst of exclamations from the audience. They really liked this contrast!

The 2004 All-Star Game was probably the one where Kidd had the most fun. His various dazzling collaborations with Kenyon Martin and Carter were mesmerizing to watch.

It has been performed many times before.

After the timeout, he took action again.

Without looking at the pass, Kidd's vision was wandering throughout the whole process, and a left-handed scimitar directly assisted Martin in a two-handed dunk. We all know the passion of Martin back then, and the flamboyant hanging of the basket to celebrate after dunking was also very eye-catching.

Passionate.

O'Neal responded quickly, scoring a layup and causing a foul. At the end of the third quarter, the West led the East 103-101.
