The rest is just noise

Whether it's a slam dunk contest or a legend game, it's all about arousing fans' nostalgia.

The Slam Dunk Contest was the first of its kind in the ABA. Although the ABA has become history, many fans miss the Tricolor League. Therefore, the NBA launched the Slam Dunk Contest and turned the Seniors Game, which had been held twice in history, into the official All-Star Game.

, all for feelings.

With these two events as back-up events, fans are naturally in high spirits for the All-Star Game.

The DJ introduced the East and West All-Star selections.

Louis stood idle on the sidelines, and when he introduced the coaches of both teams, the fans' reaction was very interesting.

The camera shows the head coach of the Western Conference Stars, Frank Layden, the head coach of the Utah Jazz.

Judging from his body shape, he is simply a three-dimensional version of Coach Anzai.

(PS: I think Layden is the prototype of Coach Anxi)

The round belly and the fat on the chin have become one with the neck. There is me in you and you in me.

Moreover, he was known for his relaxed coaching style. Everyone wanted to play for him, but few wanted to go to Utah.

This is very similar to Louis' previous life. NBA players all admired Popovich, but going to San Antonio to play for him? No!

Leyden looked so festive and the fans gave him lots of applause.

When it was Louis' turn, they were not so friendly.

After all, Louis' team beat the Nuggets hard, and now the camera is showing him, the fans' boos are mixed with applause and whistles.

"Coach Lu may be confused, but he may get a similar 'welcome' in any away game."

Is Louis confused? He's not confused at all.

After all, the Celtics' current style is to deal heavy blows to weak teams and ruthless blows to strong teams.

When encountering teams that have no resistance, they will win by 20-30 points. This is a heavy hand and does not give face.

When encountering a strong team that gives up resistance, they will find ways to create a murderous attack of more than 35 points. This is cruelty and no moral ethics.

Under the guidance of some coaches who couldn't afford to lose, the Celtics' rough style was naturally imposed on Louis.

Louis had to pay for the Celtics' brutal and unkind style of play.

"He is more 'popular' than I thought." The boos at the scene made Auerbach smile.

"I almost wanted to boo him." Heinsohn was still aggrieved by the fact that he was marginalized in the legendary game. "He only gave me 10 minutes. What did he think? My sky hook is not very good.

? Can’t he see it?”

Sam Jones was shocked: "Stop shouting, you scored that goal from the beginning to the end."

"Damn it, I only give you 10 minutes to play, let's see how many goals you can score!" Heinsohn said unconvinced.

Before the game started, Louis asked the players to gather around him.

Only Bernard King was marginalized, sitting motionless on the bench.

If you are a little observant, you will know that there is something wrong with the Eastern Stars when you see this scene.

Louis ignored his presence, raised his voice and said: "In tonight's game, the audience comes first, the result comes second, and friendship comes third."

"What does it mean to put the audience first?" Bird asked.

"I just want you to play better. If you don't usually do the moves in the game, just do them tonight. If you have any good ideas, don't ask me for instructions. Just do whatever you want. When you don't have any ideas, just play tactics. Although our

The purpose is to please the audience, but winning is equally important." Louis paused and smiled, "Of course, if you are not interested in AMVP, just pretend I didn't say anything."

Before the show started, Thomas and the magician performed a ritual that gave Louis goosebumps.

They kissed each other on the cheek.

"These two people must be poisonous!" Louis muttered.

At the same time, the unusually close relationship between the Smiling Assassin and the Magician also surprised him.

At the beginning of the game, with Sampson's height, it was easy to win the jump ball.

In the first round, Thomas made Louis very satisfied.

The Western Stars have an exaggerated five-major lineup.

Point guard Magic (206), shooting guard George Gervin (201), small forward Alex English (198), small forward Adrian Dantley (196), center Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (

218) Their lineup has no power forward.

Although Thomas and Magic are good friends, on the court, no matter how good a friend is, he will stab him in the back, and anyone who is not his teammate will die.

He easily passed Magic's defense.

Magic is obviously used to someone wiping his butt, but he is not playing for the Lakers now. There is no Wilkins, no Cooper, and no Dennis Johnson around him, but several other Wolong players who are similar to him in defense.

Phoenix chick.

Thomas smoothly dribbled to the basket, and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar assisted in defense.

However, the Smiling Assassin threw the ball into the air.

Sampson soared into the air. In the dunk contest before, he was able to complete a short gliding dunk inside the free throw line with his 7-foot-4 body, showing off his jumping ability.

2 to 0

Although the intensity of the All-Star Game is low, the effect of Thomas' breakthrough against Magic should be similar to what it was just now, no matter what type of game it is played in.

We can't change it to the regular season or the finals, and the Magic will suddenly be able to prevent Thomas' breakthrough, right?

Louis regards the All-Star Game as an opportunity to study his opponents, but when it comes to playing against the Lakers, they will definitely not let Magic guard them.

The Lakers didn't bring in Dennis Johnson just for fun, it was just to reinforce the situation.

Magic's problem is somewhat similar to Bird's. They can't guard against agile players at the same position. However, Magic's problem is that he can't deal with heavy players at the same position. Although his athletic ability is better, his defense is worse than

Bird was much worse.

Unlike the Eastern Stars, the Western Stars are much more reserved.

Because they have a guy on the field who relies on his old skills and betrays his old skills.

As long as Kareem Abdul-Jabbar wants the inside position, basically no one dares to compete with him for the ball.

Just imagine what it was like for the All-Stars and Western Conference stars in the 2000s to give up their offense when they saw Duncan or Yao Shuan asking for the ball in the low post.

These two are both powerful offensive tools in actual combat. In the exhibition game, the audience can only watch them play low backs, wipe the board at a 45-degree angle, or turn around and make big hooks, just like Kakashi is possessed by Tsukuyomi.

, or turn over and shoot.

It's a good job, and if Howard and his likes can learn it, they may not be able to become a new generation of great insiders, but no fans in the All-Star Game want to watch your left and right hand move in slow motion and then replay it in the next round.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's skyhook is the most elegant inside kill move in history. He may have scored half of his career points with this move.

Fans in the 1980s would be very excited when they saw someone score a three-pointer, but fans in 2020 would not have any psychological fluctuations even if they see a three-pointer at the half-time buzzer.

This kind of boredom is the same as Wang Quanan's prostitution and Chen Gou letting Tong Liya go out to meet three Internet celebrities in four batches. No matter how good you are, you will always get bored.

On the other hand, Thomas takes good care of everyone on the Eastern Stars.

In the first round, Sampson received an alley-oop. In the second round, Magic was back-dribbled and scored a layup. In the third round, Bird played a fake fax shot and missed. The Western star grabbed the offensive rebound, but was defeated by Bird.

De Miao copied the ball with his hand and returned it to Thomas.

Thomas threw an alley-oop, and the doctor beamed.

The magician also wants to show off, but as long as Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is present, he has to take care of the big brother's mood at all times.

He wanted to make a fuss during the passing process. Suddenly, he grabbed the ball and wanted to make a lightning-fast high-level pass from outside.

His smashing pass does not hit the ground, but grabs the ball and hits the receiver like a stone.

This is another iconic move of the Magician in addition to juggling passes without looking behind the person's head.

Bird saw through his move, lurked in the passing lane, made a save, and intercepted the ball.

The moment he won the ball, Bird sent a long pass to the doctor with whom he had a grudge.

The doctor went to the frontcourt and hit another dunk.

In an offensive round that had the best of both worlds, Doc received cheers, and Bird received the pleasure of stealing the Magician and making the opponent unhappy.

Except for Magic, everyone else on the Western Conference Stars team is a little off.

There was an error in the frontcourt serve.

When English caught the ball, he didn't pay attention to Thomas behind him. The Smiling Assassin stepped forward to drop the ball and steal it, and the doctor turned around again.

All Thomas had to do was give the ball to Doc, who gracefully jumped up for a layup to finish.

Both sides began to stop defending.

The Western Stars made a long pass from the backcourt to the frontcourt, and Magic dunked 2+1.

Bird cut in empty-handed, and Dantley didn't even look at it, pretending to double-team his teammates.

The Doctor reciprocates the favor and hits the Earth to Bird.

Bird was unguarded under the basket and softly hit the board with his right hand for a layup.

Not even playing defense, the Eastern Conference stars' overall understanding and offensive efficiency were much higher. In the blink of an eye, it was 16 to 8.

With an 8-point advantage, the Eastern Star team asked the Western Star team's coaching staff to request a timeout.

Louis replaced the embarrassing Sidney Moncrieffe. He is a player who is both offensive and defensive, but his defense is much better than his offense. It is difficult for him to perform in the All-Star Game.

Louis replaced him and brought on Andrew Toney and James Worthy.

In addition to Moncrief, Bird also came down to rest.

"I'm not going to let you play too much time today," Louis said to Bird.

Bird sarcastically asked back: "Do you think I really want to play this game?"

Louis looked at Bernard King in the corner of the bench, "Probably a little more thoughtful than our King of New York."

Bird smiled sinisterly and said: "I really want to change places with that guy."

Bird sat down with a towel hanging on his face.

The Eastern Conference bench was silent because Bernard King was there.

If we look at the number of votes, he should be the one to replace Bird.

But Louis let Worthy take his place.

This proves that Louis' previous statement that he would only let King, who received the third most votes for the small forward position, play a few minutes today was not a pretentious statement.
