After defeating the Denver Nuggets, the New York Knicks won another three games in a row before losing their first game in February. But Jiang Dalin knew very well that when they met the Rockets again, they would only lose the game.

I'm afraid I'll start a losing streak again.

The New York Knicks are very simple this season.

If you can beat it, you can beat it; if you can't beat it, you can't beat it.

In the end, they ended the February journey with a record of 5 wins and 2 losses.

Then, the NBA All-Star Weekend arrived.

Jiang Dalin and Marbury went to Houston together.

The last time Marbury came to the All-Star Weekend was in 2003. Before he knew it, three years had passed. Marbury originally thought that his fate with the All-Star Weekend was over.

I didn’t expect that!

After becoming teammates with Jiang Dalin, he actually returned to the All-Star stage.

This is really...

Unexpectedly!

On the first day of the All-Star Weekend, needless to say, the rookie competition was the first to serve appetizers. This year, the 2005 rookies challenged the 2004 rookies who were sophomores.

After the game started, the rookie team took the lead to score. The second-year team immediately responded. After Gordon hit a three-pointer, the second-year team led 5-2. However, the rookie team had higher fighting spirit. Bogut played strongly in the paint and led the rookie team to score consecutive goals.

Scored 6 points and took the lead 8-5.

This is the first time that a first grade pair takes the lead at the start of the game.

In previous years, the sophomore team had the upper hand from the very beginning.

When the class of 2004 saw that they were going to play this way, everyone immediately stopped giving face and took a serious attitude.

But the first-grade team obviously found the touch first and continued to maintain the lead.

With 14 minutes and 17 seconds left in the first half, Hyde succeeded in a fast break layup. This was Hyde's first score as the host, and the rookie team expanded its advantage to 13-7.

The sophomore team had to call a timeout.

This made the spectators nearby feel discouraged.

It’s great!

Why did it stop?

Barkley commented on the scene and said: "This should be the first time in recent years that a second-year team has taken the initiative to call a timeout? If I remember correctly..."

However, after the timeout, the sophomore team was obviously different. After two consecutive alley-oops, they shot 6-2 and tied the score to 13-15.

With 10 minutes and 50 seconds left in the first half, the sophomore team led 20-19.

Subsequently, the sophomore team gradually found the feeling and succeeded continuously. With 8 minutes and 25 seconds left in the first half, West made a steal and then made a fast break layup. The sophomore team expanded its advantage to 29-23 in one fell swoop.

After that, the sophomore team scored 4 more points in a row, and after Igudala scored a dunk, the advantage expanded to 10 points at 33-23.

The sophomore team once led by 11 points, but they could not get rid of their opponents. In the last minute of the first half, the two teams accelerated the tempo, and we had consecutive dunks. The sophomore team ended the first half with a 52-45 lead.

It can be seen from here that there is indeed a gap between the players of this year and the second-year players, which means that the pervert Jiang Dalin can lead the team to defeat the second-year players.

After the second half began, the sophomore team continued to exert its strength and launched a wave of 13-3 attacks to expand its advantage to 63-48.

This advantage is already obvious.

Then the second grade started to have fun.

But the rookie team just responded with a three-pointer, and the second-year team's interior line immediately succeeded, maintaining the advantage.

After Luol Deng made a hit, the sophomore team led 71-55 by 16 points.

The rookie team strengthened their outside shooting. Their three-point touch tonight was really good. After another round of three-pointers, they narrowed the gap to 11 points.

However, Iguodala then began to show off his power. Halfway through the second half, he suddenly succeeded in a steal, leaped high, and dunked after changing hands.

The second grade team opened the score again.

With 9 minutes and 05 seconds left in the game, Iguodala hit a three-pointer, followed by West's shot. The sophomore team led 85-64 by 21 points.

By this time, Iguodala was already playing better and better. After he hit consecutive three-pointers, with 7 minutes left in the game, the sophomore team expanded its advantage to 91-66. Iverson, who was watching from the sidelines, also applauded his teammates.

.

The rookie team then launched a counterattack, chasing the score to 79-93.

With 3 minutes and 30 seconds left in the game, the eyebrowless hero hit a three-pointer, and then Paul dunked successfully, chasing the score to 84-95.

The second-year team missed consecutive shots. Paul broke through quickly and caused a foul. He made two free throws. The rookie team was only 9 points behind.

At the critical moment, the "first brother" stepped forward and scored two consecutive dunks. His strong physical fitness and talent were fully displayed, and the second-year team once again widened the gap.

After that, the two teams shot three-pointers wildly, but the outcome could not be changed.

Iguodala can play both inside and outside. He not only dunks brilliantly, but also makes accurate long-range three-pointers. He scored a game-high 30 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists, and contributed greatly to the victory of the second-year team. He also became

mvp of this game.

In addition, for the first-year team, Gordon also scored 17 points, West 15 points, and Nocioni 13 points.

Villanueva scored 18 points and 12 rebounds for the rookie team, host Hidden also contributed 18 points, Jiang Dalin's younger brother Nate Robinson had 13 points, No. 1 pick Bogut had 14 points and 10 rebounds, and Paul played with injuries.

Scored 8 points and 11 assists.

This is the 4th consecutive Rookie Challenge that the sophomore team has won.

Iguodala held up the Rookie Challenge MVP and spoke excitedly on the court.

The fans at the scene cheered one after another.

It is worth saying that...

Iguodala will also participate in the dunk contest tomorrow.

Speaking of which, there are quite a lot to watch in this slam dunk contest.

The biggest selling point of this year's slam dunk contest is the participation of Nate Robinson, who is 1.75 meters tall, competing against defending champion Josh Smith.

But they haven't become famous yet. If I really want to say it, the "Skills Challenge" is actually more interesting. If you don't believe it, then take a look at the list of the Skills Challenge!

Participants: Defending champion Nash, LeBron James, Wade, and Chris Paul...

Among these people, whose name is not famous?

Chris Paul is the weakest one, but he has won the "Rookie of the Year" for three consecutive months and was just named the Western Conference Player of the Week. He is the most outstanding among rookies and has locked up the Rookie of the Year award in advance.

honor.

Compared to the four contestants in the slam dunk contest, the popularity of the four contestants is as high as heaven and earth.

However, LeBron James was originally a highly anticipated participant in the Slam Dunk Contest, but in the end he did not choose to participate in the Slam Dunk Contest. Instead, he chose to participate in the "Skills Challenge", which is quite surprising.

This event is usually a point guard competition, and James only served as a point guard in the first year of his career. This participation is probably to prove to the world that his delicate skills are definitely not inferior to the top guards in the league.

However, Tom Friend, a veteran reporter for ESPN magazine, wrote a special article to scold James, saying that he did not dare to take risks. He also cited Jordan's lack of fear of Wilkins as an example to prove James' timidity.

"As for having the courage to participate in the skills challenge? Haha, this is something he is not good at. I want to guarantee that even if he is only the runner-up in the end, he will be the biggest winner, because, in everyone's eyes, LeBron James

If his skills can make it to the finals among a group of defenders, how strong would he be!"

"This is his wishful thinking! I know it!"

But now, the slam dunk contest seems to have another gimmick, that is, what kind of performance Iguodala will have after performing so well in the Rookie Challenge is really exciting.

After the Rookie Challenge ended, it didn't arouse much discussion. Chris Paul is a rookie with a good reputation, but that's it. He hasn't reached that level yet.

The next day, the second day of All-Star Weekend arrived.

Before the three major challenge events, the "Shooting Star" event was held first.

In the end, the Houston team led by Francis won the final victory.

Then……

It's a skills challenge.

In addition to LeBron, other draft picks include: Wade, Nash, Chris Paul;

Wade played point guard in his first year, but now, he has been gradually transformed into a shooting guard by Pat Riley.

Participating in the skills competition this time is also to show off his skills as a point guard in the past. This year is his breakthrough year, and he has been officially selected into the All-Star Eastern Conference starting lineup. For him, the skills competition is just an appetizer before the curtain rises.

Side dishes.

Nash won in an astonishing 25.8 seconds last year, and he was defeated by the Nuggets' little Boykins. The goal this year is of course to defend the title, but I just don't know if he can break his own results last year...

I have to say something about Steve Nash’s performance last year...

Very good, very and extremely good!

Of course, Chris Paul's basic skills have always been the best in the league. This is not his boast, but the entire media thinks so. Although he has only entered the league for the first time, many experts believe that his various skills are excellent.

His proficiency is not necessarily inferior to that of veteran point guards. What he lacks on the playing field is experience, but in the skills challenge, experience is not the key, so Paul has a good chance of knocking off the three big names.

To put it bluntly, Chris Paul is quite unlucky. He had a good chance of entering the All-Star Weekend as a substitute.

Even after the voting ended, he kept mentioning it in front of the media: "At the beginning of the season, my goal is for the team to win more than 18 games, enter the rookie game, and become the best rookie. My biggest wish is to become an All-Star!"

His teammates also cheered him on. Mason bluntly said that Paul can definitely become an All-Star player.

Unfortunately, in the end, it was Parker who became the All-Star substitute. He was dismissed.

Otherwise, this skills challenge would be four all-stars on the same stage.

Forehead……

Chris Paul is a little embarrassed to say this!

But judging from 183's expression...

Extremely confident!

Sure enough, as long as I am not embarrassed, others will be embarrassed!

After a brief warm-up, the game officially began.

The first round was the preliminaries. The first person to appear was Chris Paul. With 183, he showed his proficient basic skills. He did not perform well in the passing process, and the final time was 42 seconds and 6.

The reporters who originally praised him were dumbfounded and said bluntly...

It seems that experience does matter.

Next came Wade. The Heat star wasted too much time on shooting from the top of the circle. The final time was 39.0 seconds. He originally thought he had no hope...

The result was unexpected...

The third person to appear was LeBron James. The "Little Emperor" took 40.5 seconds.

Wade looked at it, eh?

Haven't I already entered the finals?

This is too...

Are you relaxed?

Jiang Dalin really wanted to complain when he saw this number of seconds.

39 seconds, even if he fucks him!

At this time, all his memories came back, and he just remembered that this All-Star Skills Challenge seemed to be just novices pecking each other!

Steve Nash was the last one to appear...

Sure enough, the defending champion missed the shot from the top of the circle, and the final time was 52.8 seconds.

In this way, Nash missed the finals, and Wade and LeBron James advanced to the finals.

One is 39 seconds, and the other is 40 seconds.

The major defenders sitting in the audience were annoyed. If they had known about the registration, wouldn't they have been able to enter the finals?

You know, there is still 20,000 dollars to be won in the finals.

They actually missed this almost free opportunity.

The first player to appear in the final was LeBron James. The performance of the "Little Emperor" was significantly better than that of the preliminaries, finishing the game in 33.7 seconds.

However, his performance was only better than in the preliminaries, while Wade's performance was almost perfect, finishing the game in 26.1 seconds.

Finally won the championship!

Although the performance in the first game was not very good.

but……

No matter how many seconds it takes to win the championship, everyone has to admit that this is considered good among champions.

In the end, Wade raised his Skills Challenge championship trophy with great pride.

After the skill challenge, there is a three-point shooting contest.

Arenas replaced Suns guard Raja Bell, who was unable to attend due to family issues, to participate in the three-point shooting contest during the All-Star Weekend.

As the new generation leader of the Wizards, everyone is looking forward to his three-point performance in this game. However, his three-point shooting average this season is not very good, only 34%...

Compared to the other four players participating in the Three-Point Contest - Ray Allen, Dirk Nowitzki, Jason Terry and the defending three-point champion Quentin Richardson.

The difference is really quite big.

In the end, not surprisingly, he was eliminated in the first round.

The All-Star Weekend Three-Point Shootout Contest ended. In the end, Dirk Nowitzki from the Mavericks scored 18 points in the final, defeating Ray Allen of the SuperSonics, who ranked first in the preliminaries, and became the new "Three-Point King".

He is also the second foreign "three-point champion" after Stojakovic.

After the three-point shooting contest, there is the much-anticipated slam dunk contest!

Participating in the slam dunk contest are Iguodala, who just won the MVP of the rookie game, Nate Robinson, who is only 1.75 meters tall, Josh Smith of the Hawks, the defending dunk champion, and Grizzlies rookie Hakeem Warwick.

Before the game, the media interviewed Jiang Dalin whether he was optimistic about Nate Robinson.

Jiang Dalin said: "There is one thing about Nate that other contestants do not have, which also determines his uniqueness, and that is his height. When completing the same action at a height of 1.75 meters, I hope the referee can think of these actions.

How difficult is it..."

Nate Robinson's dunk is firstly not beautiful, and secondly not difficult, it relies on a sense of substitution.
