All-Star Weekend in 2005, in Denver.

In 2005, Yao Ming won the All-Star "vote king", more than 20,000 votes higher than the second place Jiang Dalin, and more than 70,000 votes higher than O'Neal.

But unfortunately, Shaquille O'Neal, who is ranked third in popularity, is just a substitute in the Western Conference.

It’s really frustrating!

It's tragic to say that in terms of Shaquille O'Neal's ability, he is still in the top 8 in the history of the league. Even if his peak period is a bit shorter, he would definitely be in the top 3, after Jiang Dalin and Jordan.

But originally he never won the voting title once in his entire career.

It should be the same this time.

However, although Jiang Dalin ranked second in votes, for Jiang Dalin, this was a weekend of fun.

Just one All-Star MVP is enough, but there is no point in having more.

Although it is also an MVP, this trophy does not help much in improving the player's historical status.

Therefore, for everyone on the Wizards team who let David Stern mess with their schedule, rest is the most important thing these days.

Speaking of which, David Stern also asked him if he wanted to participate in a challenge, but Jiang Dalin refused...

This is definitely not because Jiang Dalin is stingy, but this year in Denver, he really has no enthusiasm for performing.

The first day of the All-Star Weekend is naturally the Rookie Challenge.

The second-year team defeated the challenge of the rookie team 133:106. In the end, Carmelo Anthony, as the host, won the final Rookie Challenge MVP of this game.

In a total of 40 minutes of performance, the two sides alternated the lead 18 times, but this was almost all in the first half.

The competition can be evaluated in four words: tepid, just like boiled water.

It doesn’t matter if both sides don’t defend strictly. After all, it is a rookie challenge. Although there is a word challenge, it is essentially an exhibition match. If there is no defense and just a performance, it will be very exciting.

But forget it if you can't do anything defensively, you can't do anything offensively either.

Therefore, the entire atmosphere at the scene can be as stiff as possible.

Jiang Dalin left the scene after seeing half of it.

The enthusiasm of the fans at the scene was also the same, not very high.

Relatively speaking, the performance of the first-year newcomers was not satisfactory. They played more actively and with more passion.

It can be seen from the dunk data that the second-year team has eight or nine more dunks, and among the 2004 team, many have better physical fitness. Howard and Iguodala's dunks are even more exciting.

That's how exciting.

After a few more dunks, the fans' appetite was finally whetted.

Comparatively speaking, the atmosphere of the second-year team is a bit dull.

Among them is the reason that James and Wade will participate in the All-Star Game the day after tomorrow.

At the end of the first half, the sophomore team trailed the rookie team 58:64.

In the second half, the sophomore team finally got serious.

As the host, Anthony came up and delivered three extremely explosive dunks.

In fact, Cameron's physical fitness is considered to be very good among the 2003 generation, but it may be a matter of preference for the finishing method. What he prefers is...

Shoot, shoot, shoot.

He became active.

Others of the 03 generation have also become active.

Wade followed up by scoring two goals in a row, and James was not to be outdone and began to show off his "arsenal", well...

On the current stage, let's put it this way, LeBron James can shoot if he wants to shoot, and dunk if he wants to dunk.

The situation between the two sides took a turn for the worse. Just after 10 minutes, the sophomore team widened the point difference to 100:84.

After that, no matter how the first-year rookies fought back, the point difference continued to widen, reaching a maximum of 29 points.

The first-year team was unable to make a comeback, so they simply deducted two more points, which could be regarded as a final contribution to the Rookie Challenge.

Their thinking is...

Those brats from the Class of 2005, wait for me!

James scored 20 points.

On the rookie team, Luol Deng from the Bulls, Allen and Jefferson from the Celtics all scored 17 points, and these three had at least 10 wonderful dunks.

He is the best performer on the first grade team.

This result can be regarded as a happy one.

As the host, Carmelo Anthony won the final rookie MVP trophy. When he raised the trophy, there was finally a little cheer.

But it's not very big.

Well, this is also related to the fact that Carmelo Anthony has not made much progress in his second season in the league. Carmelo Anthony, who averaged 21 points per game in his rookie season, has only averaged 20.8 points per game so far.

I don’t know whether it was the setback in the playoffs last season, or whether it was because I felt unpopular with David Stern, or it was both reasons.

In short, Carmelo Anthony is very unhappy.

There are a lot of troubles off the field.

In fact, this is the reason why Denver fans are not enthusiastic. Compared with LeBron James, Anthony's progress in the new season is too small.

But after all, he is his own child. When Carmelo Anthony lifted the Rookie Challenge trophy, huge cheers erupted from the scene.

The second day of NBA All-Star Weekend is the three major challenge games.

It is worth mentioning that the Suns became the biggest winner in three seasons on this night.

In addition to the slam dunk contest, they also won the three-point shooting contest, skill contest and shooting contest.

All three championships come from the same team.

This has almost never happened in the history of the NBA.

This year is indeed the "Year of the Sun".

The first shooting contest was won by the Suns team.

Then the second competition was a skills challenge. In the end, Nash defeated Boykins in the final and won the championship.

The players participating in the skills challenge are Arenas of the Wizards, Nash of the Suns, Boykins and Ridnour of the Nuggets.

The reporter doing the interview before tonight's game is Miller's sister.

Nash said before the game started that he should not win the final championship. Obviously, this is the first thing a good student says after taking the test every day: He failed again this time...

The first player on the court was Ridnour of the SuperSonics. He completed the floor pass in two attempts and even hit the three-pointer in one hit. However, due to his slow movement, he finished the game in 35.4 seconds.

Arenas from the Wizards was next on the court. He wasted some time shooting three-pointers and failed to score after 5 shots. For the last shot, he simply took a mid-range shot first and then used the shot after missing.

A dunk solved the problem. Arenas ended up finishing the game in 51.7 seconds.

When he came off the field, Jiang Dalin couldn't help but complain: "Can I go up faster than you?"

No need to look at this, it will definitely be eliminated.

Nash came on next, and there were some problems with his pass at first, and it actually passed outside the ball frame. However, all subsequent events were completed very well, and the final time was 31.4 seconds.

The last player to play was Boykins at home. The little man encountered some problems in floor passing, but he completed very well in other events. Boykins' final score was 32.6 seconds.

The result is obvious, Boykins will compete with Nash in the finals.

In the next final, Boykins took the lead. Although he was in good form in the previous games, Boykins wasted a lot of time on the three-pointer, and finally took 37.6 seconds.

Nash came on last. His layup, dribbling and floor passing were all excellent, and he hit the three-pointer with one hit. In the end, it only took 25.8 seconds to win the championship.

Then there's the three-point shooting contest.

Korver was the first to play in the game and ended up scoring 14 points.

Next up was Joe Johnson of the Suns. The future "Eagle King" only made 8 points. Michael Jordan almost wanted to treat him to dinner.

It's a pity that the opportunity was given to no avail!

You already shot 8 points, why don’t you shoot 5 points?

Quentin Richardson came on the court after that. He performed well in the third and fourth points and finally scored 14 points, temporarily tied with Korver.

Next up was Radmanovic, who was also the tallest player participating in the game today. However, Radmanovic was not in good condition today and failed to make any of his shots at the top of the arc. He

In the end, he only scored 6 points.

Michael Jordan: As soon as I saw this guy, he had a lot of potential!

Then the future "three-point king" Ray Allen appeared next. Allen performed relatively evenly at each shooting point, and finally scored 13 points.

The last one to play was the defending champion Leonard. He almost didn't play this season due to injury. However, his condition was very good. He finally scored 17 points, won the first place in the preliminaries, and also eliminated Ray Allen.

Out.

Korver, Richardson and Leonard advanced to the finals.

Korver was the first to appear in the finals. Korver was in good form in the finals and scored 18 points in the game. As a teammate, Iverson stood up and applauded him. According to the state of these people in the preliminaries, Korver can

Going to win the championship.

This is also the reason why he is excited, but it is a pity that

Next up was Quentin Richardson, who ended up scoring 19 points, immediately surpassing Korver.

The last player to appear was Leonard. Leonard missed the ball on the first point and finally made 16 points, failing to defend his title.

In the end, Quentin Richardson scored 19 points and won the championship.

The Suns just won three championships...

The slam dunk contest is the grand finale of today.

The Hawks' Josh Smith and the Suns' Stoudemire surpassed the other two opponents in both action design and difficulty.

The most outstanding dunk of the night was naturally the cooperation between Stoudemire and Nash.

Stoudemire first threw the ball for a rebound, and Nash passed it directly back with his head. Then Stoudemire caught the ball in the air and dunked hard. His ingenious creativity not only won the applause of the audience, but also conquered the referee, who scored 50.

Full marks.

This dunk has also become one of the classic shots of the NBA Slam Dunk Contest.

However, Stoudemire's dunk was the only one that stood out. Although he also made some other moves, such as a crotch switch dunk that is difficult for a center to complete, he also did it.

But the aesthetics of the movements are far different.

Tonight's slam dunk championship belongs to Josh Smith.

He also made the Suns regret not being able to monopolize the entire second day of the All-Star Weekend.

In the preliminaries, Josh Smith took the lead with a classic dunk.

He put on the jersey of Wilkins, the two-time slam dunk champion, and his dunk finally received unanimous praise.

After entering the finals, Smith still performed well. He scored 100 points with two dunks, surpassing Stoudemire's 87 points and becoming the new dunk king.

During the three major challenges, it is the "final feast" of the All-Star Weekend: the All-Star Game!

The NBA All-Star Game takes place at the Pepsi Center in Denver.

The Western Team wears white jerseys, while the Eastern Team wears blue uniforms.

In the end, the Eastern Stars defeated the Western Stars 125-115, ending a three-game losing streak.

Jiang Dalin scored 8 points, but he only played for 10 minutes. He performed a few dunks and then left.

Yao Ming scored 11 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists.

Iverson was selected as the MVP of this All-Star Game with 15 points and 10 assists.

Arenas, who was selected for the first time, scored 12 points. The highest scores in the Western Conference were Duncan with 15 points and Kobe with 16 points.

It's quite a coincidence. Shortly after winning the MVP award during the All-Star Weekend, Allen Iverson came to the Nuggets and formed a golden brotherhood with Anthony.

All I can say is that this thing of fate is really wonderful.

It is also worth mentioning that although the final ratings of this All-Star Game were not satisfactory in all aspects.

But there will be several classic clips in the future, all from this weekend.

Especially O'Neal.

Although still a substitute.

But his funny nature gradually recovered.

Like dancing during the introductions, posing after missing free throws, and passing the time joking with the rap stars sitting in the front row.

Also before the game started, he showed off his No. 22 red and white sneakers in the locker room before the game.

Carter gave the most dazzling performance of the night in the game. He passed the basketball to the backboard, caught the basketball that bounced off the backboard, and dunked the ball hard into the basket.

This is also the most outstanding, sharpest and most powerful dunk performance tonight.

Hill, who has fully recovered from his foot injury, also performed an alley-oop in the game. He brought his outstanding performance to the All-Star Game, scoring 6 points in 18 minutes.

Of course, there are some classic scenes, but because the arrival of Jiang Dalin changed the entire event line, they did not happen.

Just like...

McGrady didn't go to the Rockets in the summer, so McGrady's moment didn't happen.

Therefore, there were originally two classic shots for this All-Star Weekend:

With 1 minute and 13 seconds left in the game, the Western Stars trailed the Eastern Stars by 8 points. Duncan turned to Yao Ming on the bench, nodded in the direction of Tracy McGrady and said: "There is still enough time, it must be more than half

minute."

In one of McGrady's personal performances, McGrady also threw the basketball toward the backboard, but maybe the position was a bit off. McGrady caught the basketball that bounced back and used a licking action to score.

…

Until the final period of this game,

Kobe's competitive spirit came back. He first hit several three-pointers in a row, narrowing the difference between the two sides to 5 points.

Then he passed a beautiful alley-oop to Stoudemire. After receiving the ball, the "Little Overlord" turned back and dunked in the air, narrowing the point difference to 3 points.

But Wade scored 10 points in the fourth quarter, and Iverson also continued to score, and finally won the game very steadily.

Oh, by the way, it was also this game that made O'Neal say the words that many people know.

Immediately after the game, O'Neal told the media: "Iverson is like a smaller version of me."
