NBA: I really just want to make money

The next night, the highlight of this NBA star weekend.....The All-Star Game begins as scheduled!

Those who can be selected as All-Stars are all famous stars in the league.

The current league has not yet popularized the concept of"brother basketball"."，""Hometown Basketball", the phenomenon of stars teaming up is not common.

Stars prefer to have a city per person and lead the team with a single core or dual core.

So in ordinary games, how can we see so many stars appearing in one game at the same time? The All-Star Game All the ten players in the starting lineup are stars, and even those sitting on the bench are star-level players.

The stars are extremely bright!

Almost every player can be regarded as the core of the team.

Among these big guys, Chen Hao suddenly became It doesn't seem that impressive anymore. After all, he hasn't even completed a season. Even if he has a high appearance rate, his influence is definitely not comparable to those stars who have been famous for a long time. At this time, the players from both sides are warming up before the game. Before it even started, the stadium was already extremely lively.

O'Neal, who has always been good at doing funny things, stood directly in the center circle and started dancing. His movements were very eye-catching, but he himself seemed very intoxicated.

Seeing this , Chen Hao couldn't help but look at Kobe beside him:"You won't go?"

"Why should I go there?"Kobe didn't understand.

Pointing to O'Neal, who was still using the"Passion" dance to arouse the atmosphere of the game, Chen Hao explained:"Don't you want to beat Shaquille? Now is a good opportunity."

Kobe, who has always given people a cold image, danced on the stage. The scene was exciting just thinking about it.

"Do I look like a fool?"Kobe Bryant said seriously.

His eyes swept over O'Neal's increasingly fat figure dancing in the center circle, and his eyes seemed a bit complicated.

In fact, the conflict between him and O'Neal is not as bad as the rumors say.

Although they have no contact in private, , but the so-called grievances every time they meet are actually more exaggeration and hype by the media.

Both Kobe and O'Neal are undoubtedly proud people in their hearts.

The difference is that Kobe's pride is beyond words, and in daily life They are all very strict with themselves, even with others!

In comparison, O'Neal seems much smoother, and he is not so focused on the basketball career.

Before winning the championship, the level of hard work of the Sharks can be seen to the naked eye. It can be seen that those who say that he only relies on his physical talent to play must have never seen him dribbling through half court like a defender, let alone his superb inside footsteps and offensive skills.

These are all hidden in With its monster-like talent, it is easy for people to ignore it.

Even its most impressive brutal power cannot be achieved by talent alone, and acquired training is essential.

Hidden in the invincible state of the big shark Yes, it is definitely due to his day-to-day training and self-improvement.

But after winning the championship, especially after three consecutive championships, O'Neal's mind is obviously not completely focused on basketball. This is a fact, and in itself Being in Los Angeles, an international metropolis, there are many temptations.

My fun-loving personality was quickly revealed. I made records, worked as a"policeman", and made movies.......In the eyes of Kobe, who was still young at the time, these were completely unprofessional behaviors. O'Neal took advantage of them all and even intensified them.

Conflicts inevitably arise.

As the boss of the team, and also created three consecutive championships for the Lakers, O'Neal has his own pride and does not feel that he has made a mistake by relaxing a little. Losing a few more games in the regular season does not matter much. Just win it back in the later games.

But Kobe doesn't think so.

Like Jordan, the Black Mamba was extremely obsessed with winning and stubbornly wanted to win more championship honors. He couldn't bear to see O'Neal being so indulgent and wasting his talent. His increasingly fat body made Kobe even more jealous. irritable.

How could such a guy who didn't want to make progress and was getting fatter and fatter could fight for higher honors with him, and how could he get to that point.

As Gorgeous F4 failed to win the championship, the conflict directly intensified.

In the end, the Lakers management chose the younger Kobe and traded O'Neal.

When two tigers fight, one of them will be injured. This is the case of Kobe and O'Neal.

In essence, Kobe just wanted to win too much and wanted to surpass Michael Jordan so much that he became a creative legend!

O'Neal, on the other hand, lost some desire to win after becoming famous.

The two just had fundamental differences in their views on basketball. Unable to reconcile, they had no choice but to part ways. In the end, it was the Lakers management, not Kobe, who made the choice.

At that time, the Black Mamba did not have such a big influence on the Lakers.

Back to the topic~

Hearing Kobe's words at this time, Chen Hao didn't respond, but just looked at the other party with a trace of affirmation.

This made Kobe immediately itchy with hatred.

Before it could explode, Dayao, Gasol, and Nash came over and looked at O'Neal.

A bunch of people who don't know how to do tricks stand together and watch a fat man dancing. Somehow, they always feel very happy.

This state was captured on the broadcast screen and put on the TV screen, which immediately caused a burst of laughter.

At this time, looking at Dayao who was a little stiff, Chen Hao couldn't help but tease:"Brother Yao, aren't you nervous?"

"No, it's just that I'm not used to this competition atmosphere."

As soon as Dayao finished speaking, Kobe walked directly behind him, put his hands on his shoulders, massaged him, and said loudly:

"Relax, you need to relax..."

In this regard, Dayao seemed very helpless, but he couldn't help but feel a little moved in his heart. He was not a stupid person, and he could feel that Chen Hao and Kobe cared about him. Both of them were good people.

Not knowing that he had been given the good guy card by his compatriots, Chen Hao looked at Tracy McGrady, who was warming up alone, and wondered:

"Why do I feel that something is not quite right about his state tonight?"

"I don’t know, it used to be like this in the locker room, but after entering the stadium, it became like this."

Regarding McGrady's current situation, Dayao expressed confusion and looked worried. He always felt that his partner would do some irrational behavior tonight.

In this state, Nash suddenly interjected:"He may want to win too much. Well, after all, this is Houston, his home court, and Dayao doesn’t want to compete for MVP. It would be unreasonable for him not to win an MVP."

"I think it's probably for this reason. This is Houston, and everyone will give him face, but there's no need for that."Gasol added.

Chen Hao, Kobe and Dayao looked at each other, with a hint of helplessness in their eyes. They seemed to have started this matter first, but now the three of them actually don't take it too seriously. , but McGrady seemed to be too serious.

After the discussion that night, Kobe thought a lot, and again, after all, this is Houston, and his friend has never won the All-Star MVP honor, so it is not a good idea to cooperate with McGrady this time. Can't.....

Especially after knowing that Chen Hao has no interest in continuing to compete for the honor of MVP after winning the three-point shooting contest and the Rookie Challenge, the Black Mamba further strengthened his idea.

Players in the league are actually in the same social circle, and they meet each other without looking up. This All-Star weekend, Chen Hao has already won two trophies. If he is greedy and pursues the All-Star Game MVP, it will be a bit too much. Too greedy.

Once this impression is created, it is difficult to get rid of it, and it will definitely have a certain impact on his future development in the league. Chen Hao said that he must be more restrained during the main game.

Try to get as much playing time as possible and just keep running statistics. Don't be too deliberate about pursuing MVP.

It is necessary to leave some room, both for yourself and for others.

As for Dayao, he never thought about competing for MVP. He said that he would focus more on the regular season. It will be difficult for the Rockets to enter the playoffs this season.

The three of them just looked at each other without saying anything, which made Nash and Gasol very confused. Do these guys have such a tacit understanding?! You can communicate without speaking. This is too powerful.......

But soon, with the whistle blowing, the warm-up phase finally came to an end. The fans and spectators in the arena shouted the names of the stars they supported. What is surprising is that Chen Hao's name appeared so often. Pretty high.

After discovering that it was all female fans and spectators who were shouting, it became clear to everyone.

He looks so handsome and amazing!

James stroked his increasingly thinning hair and expressed in his heart���Not convinced.

McGrady stopped his warm-up and felt that his body was fully mobile. His face was very serious. In this game, he will go all out to compete for the MVP!

His eyes were vaguely looking towards Kobe and the others, with a cold fighting spirit flashing in his eyes. Vaguely, he felt like he had returned to the Magic days, as if he had become a lone wolf again.!

Not knowing McGrady's mentality at this time, Chen Hao was more concerned about the multiplier of the All-Star game.

"It will definitely be higher than the Rookie Challenge, so you should look forward to it."Chen Hao thought to himself.

He had already made up his mind. He must complete this game without leaving any regrets. The next time will have to wait until next year.

With such thoughts, the warm-up time was over, and both sides returned to their home half. On the field, under the gaze and cheers of the audience, the starting five players of the Eastern and Western All-Stars appeared one after another....

Western Conference starting lineup ~

Center: Dayao (Rockets)

Power forward: Tim Duncan (Spurs)

Small forward: Tracy McGrady (Rockets)

Shooting guard: Kobe Bryant (Lakers)

Point guard: Chen Hao (Lakers)

Eastern team starting lineup ~

Center: Shaquille O'Neal (Heat)

Power forward: LeBron James (Cavaliers)

Small forward: Vince Carter (Nets)

Score Guard: Dwyane Wade (Heat)

Point Guard: Allen Iverson (76ers).....

"Toot~"

A whistle sounded, and the finale of the All-Star Weekend officially kicked off.

""Bang~"

O'Neal defeated Dayao with a jump ball and gave the Eastern team the opportunity to advance first. After James received the ball and took two steps, with his back to Duncan, he made a mid-range shot that imitated Kobe's turn and fadeaway jumper. However, compared to Kobe's picturesque posture, James' movements seemed very stiff. However, the basketball finally hit the ball, and the audience still applauded and encouraged them. Even

Kobe couldn't help but hit James. After all, it is just an entertainment game, and no one takes it too seriously.

Generally speaking, everyone is playing in the first three quarters of the All-Star Game, and only starts to increase the intensity in the last quarter.

The ball comes to the West On the All-Star team side, Chen Hao controls the ball~

"Bang~bang~bang~~~"

The basketball kept bouncing off the floor and on the fingertips at a very fast speed. Facing Allen Iverson's defense, Chen Hao used his signature CROSSOVER move, changing directions continuously, and broke into the inside. He looked at Maddie who was watching him a few steps away.

The basketball was thrown directly into the penalty area.

Dayao reacted quickly, jumped up, grabbed the basketball in his palm, and pushed it into the basket.

O'Neal, who was standing next to him, was already a beat slow. It was the All-Star Game again, so he didn't defend. He just made a very cooperative expression of annoyance, which caused the audience to burst into laughter.

When it comes to being funny, even Kobe, who has always been competitive, has to admit that O'Brien is much better at it than he is.

He definitely couldn't achieve this effect anyway.

The game continued, and Iverson, who had just been passed by Chen Hao, decided to regain his position.

The ball was quickly approaching, and with a crossover move that taught Chen Hao just now, he broke into the three-point line, took a long step, and threw himself into the air. If it were in the regular season, Duncan would immediately let him know what It's called Slow Palm

, but now the All-Star Game doesn't pay so much attention to it, and Iverson's behavior is simply allowed.

""Brush~" made a backhand layup, and Iverson added two more points for the Eastern team. The Western team had the ball. This time McGrady finally got the ball, quickly broke into the penalty area, and scored with a one-handed dunk, which attracted the attention of the arena. There were endless exclamations inside.

Even the pickiest fans have to admit that McGrady’s dunk is indeed beautiful. The elegant energy is something that other stars cannot have. The same action, others do not have that feeling...

It seems that McGrady’s dunk aroused his desire. In the following time, the guards and forwards from the east and west began to attack the basket frequently. Dayao, who was originally planning to hang out on the court for a few minutes and then take a rest, Facing the waves of impact, I felt very depressed. At the same time, I couldn't help but show some real skills. This is not a qualified bastard.

Within a few minutes, the basket was constantly being ravaged. Watching each one The star who threw himself into the air and then thought about the action made Chen Hao feel very depressed. Originally, he was a little itchy, but thinking that he could only barely dunk now, he forcibly suppressed the impulse in his heart.

Chen Hao didn't want to be ridiculed like Curry in his previous life after this All-Star Game. He should leave the title of King to Curry.

Taking advantage of his free time, he glanced at the system message bar and was pleasantly surprised to find , the multiplier of the All-Star game has reached three times that of the regular season.

Without saying anything, Chen Hao decided to max out.

So, while everyone else on the court was showing off their dunking abilities, Chen Hao He was running around aimlessly in the whole place, which made people have to pay attention. There was no other way, he was so unique.

"Brother Hao, what's going on?"

"Hahaha, I feel like Brother Hao must be bored. Everyone else can show off dunks, but he can only dunk reluctantly and can't do anything."

"The forced dunk is okay. In fact, to be honest, Brother Hao's dunk is still okay. Although the height, movement and strength are average, at least he looks handsome. That's enough."

"Be honest, how much did you charge Brother Hao?"

"....."

Not knowing this, Chen Hao concentrated on running on the court. After Iverson followed for a while, he lost interest in following.

Soon, maybe because they felt sorry for him, Kobe, Dayao, and even Duncan passed the ball from time to time.

He was a bastard who took the ball instead of shooting. When no one was defending, Chen Hao repeatedly shot three-pointers. After a single quarter, he actually scored 4 points and scored 12 points. It was really embarrassing. He originally just wanted to score 12 points. A running distance, who wants everyone?���Passing the ball over so politely...

After the first quarter, the Western team temporarily led the Eastern team by one point at 41:40.

With no one doing much defense, the scores were very high. In addition, there were a series of dunk scenes during the period, which made the audience and fans excited and the atmosphere in the arena was very lively.

Because it was only the first quarter, the stars from the East and West didn't pay much attention. They all smiled and exchanged words before returning to their benches.

Only McGrady didn't feel too comfortable inside. He took 0 shots in the first quarter, the highest number among the entire Western Conference team. He hit 5 of them and scored 10 points, but he only took 5 shots. , but Chen Hao, who hit four three-pointers, was two points lower.

Ranked second among the Western Conference teams, this is very embarrassing.

Obviously he worked so hard and Chen Hao didn't compete, but the reality turned out to be this situation. McGrady said that he would have to work harder in the next games. Little did he know that his idea was contrary to other people on the court. Got it......

The degree of obsession has become even deeper!
