City: I Create The Nba!

February 15.

Indiana, Bankers Life Arena.

The annual NBA All-Star Weekend is finally here.

Tonight's game is the All-Star Rookie Challenge.

First-year team vs second-year team!

On a stand in the front row.

NBA president Jiang Han and assistant Cui Yue both came to the scene.

Cui Yue said: "Mr. Jiang, with the growing influence of the NBA, the average ticket price for the Indianapolis All-Star Game this season has reached 4052 US dollars.

According to estimates by the data department, this All-Star Weekend will bring economic benefits of US$120 million to the city of Indianapolis.

Jiang Han nodded slightly.

Counting this All-Star, the NBA has held a total of 4 All-Stars.

However, Los Angeles and Cleveland only held the All-Star Game, so the economic income is not that much.

Last year's All-Star Game in Salt Lake City made nearly $82 million!

This is also the reason why all the teams are desperately trying to get the right to host the All-Star Game!

Suddenly, Jiang Han remembered something and reminded: "Cui Yue, after the All-Star Weekend, you will give me the statistics of the ratings and the number of viewers of the All-Star Game as soon as possible!"

Cui Yue nodded quickly when she heard this.

She knows that the boss attaches great importance to these data.

The significance of the NBA League holding the All-Star Weekend is to hope that the NBA All-Stars can compete with the NFL Super Bowl.

In the annual Super Bowl, more than 50 million people watch the game at the same time every year, and a game can bring more than 500 million US dollars in revenue to NFL.

The current nba has not yet reached this level of influence and earning power.

While speaking, the player appearance ceremony began.

First-year starters: Allen Iverson, Kobe Bryant, Tracy McGrady, Vince Carter, Shaquille O'Neal.

Sophomore starters: Magic John Shun, Michael Jordan, Larry Bird, Karl Malone, Hakeem Olajuwon.

The appearance of every star can attract warm cheers from the fans.

When the live DJ introduced Reggie Miller of the sophomore team, the cheers were deafening.

He is the head star of the Pacers and belongs to the host of this city.

Soon, the game officially began.

O'Neal jumped to the ball first and passed the ball to Iverson immediately.

After Iverson got the ball, he quickly advanced and reached the inside at an astonishing speed.

Facing the defense of Karl Malone and Olajuwon, he evaded the block in the air and made a cold layup with the lever.

The fans immediately applauded the 1.83 meter tall man.

This season, Iverson has inspired many teenage basketball fans.

People suddenly discovered that basketball is not a sport for giants, and small players also have spring!

Magician John Shun took possession of the ball and passed it to Bird outside the three-point line.

The moment Bird caught the ball, he noticed the air-cut Jordan.

He didn't stick to the ball and flicked it with one hand.

After Jordan received the ball, there was an astonishing reverse buckle with both hands folded!

The first-year team quickly served the ball to the front court. After receiving the ball, McGrady threw it to the right basket.

Vince Carter, who rushed into the penalty area, leaped high, performing an aerial catch and dunk with a windmill with both hands!

There was a burst of exclamation at the scene.

Looking back, Bird hit the ground and assisted Olajuwon to complete the dunk with both hands.

Tracy McGrady, a first-year player, dribbled the ball to the free throw line, and quietly passed it to Kobe who followed up.

After Kobe received the ball, he tossed it to the basket, and O'Neal, who was physically gifted at the monstrous level, made a thunderous two-handed dunk.

The basketball hoop shook violently, and while the fans exclaimed, they were afraid that the hoop would be snapped off by O'Neal!

After landing, Neil started to walk.

Seeing this scene, all the fans burst into laughter.

Sophomore team offense.

Jordan assisted Bird for a dunk.

In the next game, the two sides showed their basketball talents and physical talents to the fullest.

Gorgeous actions such as 360-degree dunks, lob dunks, backboard dunks, tomahawk dunks, and folding dunks frequently appeared on the court [the audience was mesmerized.

The nba rookie challenge is divided into two halves, 20 minutes each.

10 minutes into the first half, the coaches of both sides went up and down five times.

In the first grade, Nash, Hardaway, Duncan, Garnett, and Webber appeared.

In the second grade, Stockton, Thomas, Reggie Miller, Pippen and Ewing appeared.

Although they are substitutes, they are completely worthy of the starting players on the scene.

Especially since he seemed born for the All-Star Game.

The already unpredictable passing has become even more unpredictable in this kind of game.

Duncan, Garnett, and Webber, the three insiders, received so many passes and dunks that their hands hurt.

And Hardaway, with his elegant style of play, continued to show off his skills on the court and won applause from all the halls.

Stockton, the core playmaker of the second-year team, also created good scoring opportunities for his teammates.

The host Reggie Miller received the pass and hit 4 three-pointers in a row, and the arena instantly boiled!

0…ask for flowers……

Even so, the first-year team did not strengthen their defensive strength, and they continued to play as they should.

Ray Allen, who was replaced later, also seized the opportunity, hit multiple three-pointers, and returned the favor.

Under the gorgeous performances of the stars, time flies by.

At the end of halftime, the two sides battled to a 70 tie.

During the intermission, several top celebrities in the entertainment industry performed various wonderful programs, which made the audience hooked.

Second half of the game.

The two sides continued to fight and attack.

The "four shooting guards" of the first-year team showed the ultimate scoring ability.

Kobe, Tracy McGrady, Iverson, and Carter, these four can not only shoot ultra-long-range three-pointers, but also get into the paint and score easily, not to mention that there are big killers like O'Neal.

Unknowingly, the second-year team somewhat failed to match the first-year team's score.

.....0...

The point difference instantly came to more than 15 points.

After the two sides replaced the substitute players, the point difference further widened to more than 20 points.

However, when the fans saw the laughing and laughing three of them, they immediately understood that they didn't care about the outcome of the game at all.

Obviously, the All-Star Game is their stage.

The rookie challenge is not worth their efforts.

Thinking about it, the three of them are equal in honor.

The Magician has the finals mvp, Bird has the regular season mvp, and Jordan has the scoring champion, the best rookie, the All-Star game mvp and the rookie game mvp.

It doesn't matter whether you win or lose this game.

Next, the point difference between the two teams has been hovering around 20 points.

In the end, the first-year team easily defeated the second-year team 142:124 and won the game.

By convention, the rookie game mvp will be awarded to the winning team with the most points.

For the first-year team, the highest scorer was Allen Iverson, who scored 32 points and 8 assists, and played the most eye-catching performance.

Middle of the pitch.

Ribbons are falling all over the sky.

Jiang Han, president of the NBA, announced with a smile: "The MVP winner of the 2024 NBA All-Star Rookie Challenge --- Allen Iverson!"

When Iverson raised the trophy with both hands to celebrate, the audience cheered thunderously and applauded endlessly.

Compared with big men with a height of more than 2 meters, Iverson's height is closer to ordinary people.

But he proved himself on such a star-studded stage.

The 1.83-meter Iverson seems to be telling the world that in the NBA where there are so many people, he is still the answer on the court!.
