I’m Really Playing Basketball

Because the regular season tasks this season are quite heavy, this time the Casino All-Stars, Chen Xiao and the Bobcats players came here more like traveling around and relaxing.

The All-Stars in the Casino basically give all star players in the NBA an upright and legitimate opportunity to play in the casino.

Chen Xiao even went inside to experience it. The chips were given by the casino. Chen Xiao didn't spend any money. After winning 10,000 US dollars, Chen Xiao immediately stopped playing.

If you say you don't want to play, you won't play. His attitude shocked the casino staff.

The Chinese staff member finally said to Chen Xiao with a wry smile: "If every customer who comes here has the self-control like Mr. Chen, we can close our doors."

In response, Chen Xiao just smiled and said nothing.

Although Chen Xiao doesn't like this, he has to say that gambling cities are indeed a paradise for rich people.

No wonder this place can poach people from Los Angeles even if it faces Los Angeles. In the entire United States, the city that is more attractive than Los Angeles and New York is probably the gambling city.

February 17th, American time, Saturday, after playing in the casino all day, Chen Xiao came to the Thomas and Mack Center with Wade, Dayao, Luo Ge and others at night. Tonight is the skill competition of the All-Star Weekend.

Chen Xiaoyou participated in this year's dunk contest.

However, the slam dunk contest is the finale event tonight, so Chen Xiao needs to wait.

And there must be as many spectators as Chen Xiao waiting.

It is said that one of the biggest highlights of this All-Star Weekend is that Chen Xiao is participating in tonight's dunk contest.

For the slam dunk contest that has slowed down and become very boring, the participation of any super giant will attract a lot of attention.

What's more, he is the first person like Chen Xiao.

It doesn't matter whether he is the champion or not. It is important to see if Chen Xiao's dunk is interesting.

I don’t know since when, the NBA Dunk Contest is no longer a competition of pure dunks, but full of various gimmicks.

Chen Xiao expressed disdain for this. He came to participate in the dunk contest this time just to dunk properly and not to do any gimmicks.

As is customary, the first game of the All-Star Game on Saturday night is the Shooting Stars game.

There was a little episode in this year's shooting star game. In the finals, the Pistons, who played first, completed all shots in 50.9 seconds, while the Bulls took 47.9 seconds.

Logically speaking, the champion should be the Bulls led by Pippen.

When the Pistons players were shooting, the Bulls players violated the rules, and the championship was awarded to the Pistons.

It is said that on a stage like the All-Star Weekend where the performance is greater than the substance, such a serious situation rarely occurs.

It can only be said that Pi Er and Niu Niu are really unlucky.

After the shooting star game, there is a skills challenge.

This year's Skills Challenge can be said to be another highlight of the All-Star Weekend, because the stars participating this time are of very high level.

Kobe Bryant, the leader of the Lakers, James, the leader of the Cavaliers, Wade, the leader of the Heat, and Chris Paul, the second leader of the Bobcats.

All are this year's All-Stars.

It has to be said that the skills challenge, like the three-point shooting contest, is becoming more and more popular among star players.

During last year's All-Star Weekend, the favorite to win the championship failed. But this time, he came with a very strong desire for revenge.

Just kidding, there's no such thing as revenge, I just want to prove that I don't fall off the chain at the critical moment.

And this time in the game, the biggest favorite is no longer Xiao Cannon but Kobe.

Although the contestants in this competition are all big names, the skills challenge is not just for big names.

Although Kobe is the biggest player among the players participating this time and is also the most promising, Chen Xiao feels that Kobe may not be able to do it this time.

Chen Xiao has participated in this competition and won the championship. He is very aware of the requirements for shooting stability in this competition.

Ko's shooting stability...

It's not that Ke's shooting isn't good. Chen Xiao believes in Ke's passing more than Ke's shooting stability.

This is really no joke.

In this game, the thief puts the player's understanding of his own shortcomings into his mind. To put it simply, the less you think about something, the more he will do it.

The first player to play in the preliminaries was Xiao Zhan. When Xiao Zhan came on the court, he was absolutely confident. His shooting is already very good. When he was traveling with Chen Xiao in China, Xiao Zhan's skills in hook organization He was defeated by Chinese primary school students in the challenge, which made Xiao Zhan quite unable to get off the stage.

Since then, Xiao Zhan has been thinking about whether to get back to the scene. After all, since the popularity of the Internet, there will always be videos of Xiao Zhan being hanged and beaten by elementary school students in China.

By the way, how did that video get circulated?

It can only be said that Hook is really a bad person. After the relationship with Xiao Zhan broke out, he would give Xiao Zhan some color from time to time.

The hook that protected Xiao Zhan so well at the beginning has now completely turned into a bitch.

However, facing hooks is such a disgusting behavior.

Xiao Zhan didn't care at all.

Since Facebook has become more and more popular, as one of Facebook's major shareholders, Xiao Zhan's situation is no longer one of working as a worker.

hook?

But that’s all!

Now Xiao Zhan feels that he can already control his own destiny.

No more listening to hooks or other sponsors.

He now wants to be a player with dreams more than a businessman!

Because of the success of Facebook, Xiao Zhan has already stood at the top of the businessman.

Therefore, there is no need to pursue anything at all.

After two years of hard training, Xiao Zhan came here to avenge his shame.

However, he was the first to appear, and his performance was a bit embarrassing for himself.

He still does well in other aspects, but the problem is shooting.

It took him twice to hit the most critical shot in the middle, and every time he shot, Xiao Zhan was extra cautious and careful, which made him spend a lot of time, and finally took a total of 35.4 seconds.

This is a very regular time.

Therefore, Xiao Zhan's revenge failed.

With this result, there was still no way for him to defeat the two primary school students from two years ago.

After Xiao Zhan, Xiao Pao was the second player to play. Then, Xiao Pao, who wanted to be very serious this time, lost the chain in the passing link that he should be best at. At the end of the game, his time was even faster than that of Xiao Zhan. There were 5 seconds more, and it took him 39.6 seconds to complete all the movements.

This result is simply incredible.

So much so that when he came off the court, Xiaopao was doubting that he was dead.

"Chen, was the person who competed just now really me?"

In fact, Chen Xiao was also a little skeptical.

In other words, is the Skills Challenge so difficult for Xiaopao?

In short, in this Skills Challenge, the four major stars are on the same stage together. The first two stars directly pulled their hips, and the hips pulled made the audience laugh. I felt a lot of pressure.

Xiao Zhan and Xiao Pao are well-known ball-handlers in the league. Both of them have done so badly. If he is not careful, he may also be in tragedy.

I have to say that Boss Ke's ability to resist pressure is still very good.

In his third appearance, he only took 29.8 seconds.

This time cannot be said to be top-notch, but compared with the previous two Xiaopao and Xiaozhan, this result is absolutely excellent.

Moreover, in this game, Boss Ke completed all his actions in one go, including chest passes, ground passes, shots and layups.

It has to be said that Ke Boss can still be trusted under pressure.

As long as he can stay off the top and be cautious enough, he will be quite cautious this time.

After the first three stars competed, the fourth one came out was defending champion Wade.

In fact, in terms of his technical movements, Wade doesn't seem to be suitable for the Skills Challenge anywhere.

But his psychological quality at critical moments is really too tough. Last year he just used his super mental strength to win a championship.

In tonight's game, Wade was the last to play, and he took 31.3 seconds, still not a very good result.

He took two chances on the chest pass and all other moves in one.

Because of the huge mistakes made by Xiao Pao and Xiao Zhan, Boss Ke and Wade can finish slowly and carefully.

After the two slowed down, both withstood the huge pressure of mistakes.

So the two finally defeated Xiao Pao and Xiao Zhan and reached the final.

Before the final started, Kobe was very excited, and the Lakers fans at the scene felt that Kobe was stable this time.

Wade's shooting is not stable. Wade's championship last year was an accident. There can be no accidents this time.

At the beginning of the finals, Wade played first. Amidst the boos of many Lakers fans, Wade's first few movements were very smooth, and smoothly made the boos of the Lakers fans stop booing.

So smooth!

All in one go, and the sense of speed and rhythm is very good.

"Is this guy really Wade with a huge shooting flaw?"

"It doesn't look like he's worried about his shooting at all!"

I have to say that in the finals, Wade's figure and temperament were indeed incredible.

Players who are not very good at shooting will always think about their shooting during the game. When thinking about it, they will hesitate and worry about making mistakes.

For example, Xiao Zhan before.

Even though Xiao Zhan's shooting is already very good, he still makes mistakes because he thinks too much.

But Wade, he is really as tough as a rock!

Even in the final shot, Wade very coolly chose to hit the board, which was so relaxing!

26.4 seconds!

Very good result.

If he had not chosen to hit the board in the end, but put it in directly, it might have been faster, maybe within 26 seconds.

"This boy!"

Brother Ke was stunned after Wade's game.

How can there be such hard-hearted players in this world?

Jordan will never be like this again!

Wade's performance was so outstanding that Ke Lao had to improve his rhythm and speed to win.

The boss of Ke can also finish it slowly and without making mistakes, but he is the boss of Ke, how could he admit defeat? !

If you don't admit defeat, you have to gamble.

When it comes to betting on something like this, if you don’t have a plug-in, you’ll definitely lose nine times out of ten.

Therefore, it only took four times for the first pass to be completed by Ke, who accelerated the pace.

The game lost its suspense.

In the end, Ke Laobao, who wanted to change his life against the odds, still failed to change his life successfully. It took 45.8 seconds to complete all the actions.

And this result also sent Wade to defend his title of Successful Skills Challenge.

After the game, American TNT TV host Reggie Miller conducted a brief interview with Wade on the spot.

Miller's question was very direct: "Dwyane, has your second participation made you more comfortable? Your performance in this competition was great. Have you now completely mastered the skills challenge?" ?”

Wade's answer was: "No, no, no, this thing is never simple. You know, skills challenges are always challenging for me. Winning the championship this time also had an element of luck."

Good guy, two years in a row of luck?

So much so that the boss on the side shouted in his heart: "I believe you are a ghost!"

In short, for the skills challenge, Wade is really the most piggy tiger. He doesn’t even need to pretend, he is just a pig-like tiger.

After the skills challenge ended with an incredible result, the next turn was the three-point shooting contest.

In this three-pointer contest, all three players from last year's finals participated, Granger, Arenas and Nowitzki.

Nowitzki was last year's champion, and Arenas was the most popular player in this competition.

So this three-point contest is considered a one-on-one between Nowitzki and Arenas.

After the preliminaries, Arenas and Nowitzki did not disappoint. Arenas scored 23 points and Nowitzki scored 20 points. These two people were quite impressive in the preliminaries.

Granger, who also reached the finals last year, entered the finals with an ordinary score of 19 points.

Granger was the first to appear in the final.

This stable shooter of the Bobcats surprised everyone as soon as he came on the scene, with 24 points!

When Granger's game ended, Chen Xiao, Xiao Pao, Roy and Aldridge on the sidelines were even more excited than Granger.

Arenas and Nowitzki, who were originally preparing for a duel, were a little embarrassed by Granger's results.

The score is too high and the pressure is too much.

Originally, Nowitzki and Arenas thought they were in good shape tonight, but Granger's score was indeed too high.

Therefore, Nowitzki and Arenas behind were both affected.

Two superstar players who performed very well in the preliminaries scored 10 and 17 points in the final respectively.

However, the mentality of the two was still very good. Arenas even performed a one-handed three-pointer at the last shooting point when his hopes were completely shattered.

Speaking of being funny, Arenas is also a good player.

In short, after losing the MVP of the Rookie Challenge, Granger finally won the first trophy of his All-Star career.

Therefore, during the interview, Granger was a little too excited.

"I listened, I heard those voices from Chen on the sidelines. His applause and shouts were very rhythmic. I was addicted to it. When the game was over, I looked at the final score. I was shocked. I didn't expect it. I won like this, and Chen’s applause and cheers helped me a lot!”

"Obviously, I hope to win this championship. I wanted it last year. This was a promise between Chen and I, but in the end I failed. So, this year, I want to succeed, I really want it!"

Granger also said that although he is not the biggest favorite in this competition, even Mike Miller, Terry and Kapono who were eliminated in the preliminaries are better shooters than him, but...

"I have already failed once. I don't want to disappoint Chen again. Today, I will bring the trophy to Chen."

Finally, Granger also mentioned Jordan excitedly, "He always encourages me. He taught me a lot. My shooting has been improving. This is entirely due to Michael's teaching. He dunked this time." The judges of the competition, I want to participate in this dunk contest, but I know that I can’t, I am not a talented player to participate in the dunk contest.”

It can only be said that Granger is too modest. His athletic ability is indeed not explosive, and his dunks are not so powerful and elegant, but his talent is enough to participate in the dunk contest.

However, after Granger mentioned the slam dunk contest, everyone in front of the TV and at the scene cheered up.

After all, Jordan is the judge and Chen Xiao is the player!
