Fully five people were selected to the All-Star lineup, which also made the Grizzlies directly become one of the most star-studded teams in the entire NBA history. They can even simply remove the restriction of one. After all, no other team in history can achieve the same goal.

Featuring five All-Star players this season.

Jiang Dongbing once again successfully entered everyone's field of vision. The whole world was shocked to discover that all the star players in Jiang Dongbing's hands were all trained by Jiang Dongbing alone, and none of them were all-stars imported from other teams.

Like Xiao Ou, David or Billups, although they were introduced by Jiang Dongbing from other teams, they were definitely not All-Stars at the time. Even these three people all have the reputation of parallel imports, and they can be under Jiang Dongbing's hands.

Such achievements are enough to prove Jiang Dongbing's greatness.

With strong coaching ability, incomparable youth, and talent selection ability that shocks the world, in the eyes of some fans, Jiang Dongbing may already be the most successful and outstanding head coach in the entire NBA history.

You have to know that Jiang Dongbing is still so young now. In ten or eight years, how many All-Stars can he produce? How many championships can he lead his team to win? Anyway, the number must be extremely terrifying.

So it seems that it is not too much to call Jiang Dongbing the greatest head coach in history in advance.

In addition to the All-Star game, many Grizzlies players participated in other events. Jackson was invited to participate in the dunk contest, and Peja participated in the three-point contest.

As for the Rookie Challenge, the Grizzlies have a total of three rookies on the team this year, namely Artest, Ginobili and Kirilenko. Kirilenko has already participated in the main game, so naturally he will not participate again.

Participate in the Rookie Game, so only Artest and Ginobili participated in the Rookie Challenge.

Jiang Dongbing was looking forward to it. With so many players participating, they would be able to bring back some trophies.

On February 15th, the annual All-Star Weekend officially kicked off, with the Masters Game and Rookie Challenge held on that day.

Jiang Dongbing has no interest in these two games. The Masters Tournament is basically a joke, that is, it is prepared for those fans who are chasing stars. Jiang Dongbing is not a star chaser, so how can he be interested in this kind of game.

As for the Rookie Challenge, the viewing angle is definitely much higher than that of the Masters Game, and there are many stars who will have an impact on the league in the future. However, Jiang Dongbing is still not interested. Jiang Dongbing feels that it is better to watch a soap opera for a bunch of rookies.

Enjoyable.

There was no All-Star Weekend in 1999 due to the lockout, and the rookie games before 1998 used an East-West matchup format, that is, the Eastern Conference newcomers faced off against the Western Conference newcomers.

As a result, after three years of playing, the Eastern Conference team won all the games. As a result, the rookie game, which no one watched in the first place, attracted even less attention. This year, the league simply changed its tactics? It created a second-year versus first-year game system.

According to this competition system, in fact, David and Jackson are also sophomores? If they do not play in the main game, they may also participate in this rookie competition.

Fortunately, these two people did not participate in the competition. If they had participated, there would be no suspense in this competition. If the two of them join forces, they can definitely crush the first-year rookie.

In the end, the rookie team won the second-year team. What an upset? Brand, the No. 1 rookie overall pick, won the rookie game MVP with 22 points and 21 rebounds.

Although Artest and Ginobili did not win the MVP, the performance of this offensive and defensive backcourt combination was also extremely eye-catching. The reason why the rookie team was able to win the second-year team? In addition to Brand's basket

In addition to their dominance? These two people also made great contributions.

Especially Artest? His direct opponent, Larry Hughes, collapsed? He had no sense of presence at all in the entire game.

Although Artest is not as popular as Jackson now, anyone with a discerning eye can see the potential of this rookie. In time, he can at least reach the heights of Christie? He may even be more powerful than Christie. After all,

In terms of physical fitness? Christie can't keep up with Artest even if he tries to flatter him.

In the game against the Grizzlies, Artest even once staged a wonderful scene of shouldering the opponent's fourth position player in the back? His strong physical fitness left a deep impression on people.

On the first day of the All-Star Weekend, the Grizzlies scored nothing and did not win any trophies.

February 16th, the second day of the All-Star Weekend, will be held today with two major miscellaneous competitions, namely the dunk contest and the three-point contest. In the future, a skills challenge will be added, but this will only happen after 2003.

, now there are only two miscellaneous competitions.

Jiang Dongbing directly appeared at the dunk contest. This 2000 dunk contest is known as the most classic dunk contest in history. Jiang Dongbing naturally did not want to miss it.

However, Jiang Dongbing believes that this most classic statement is not so accurate. This thing is completely a matter of opinion. Maybe some people think that the 1987 Dunk Contest between Jordan and Drexler is more classic.

Carter, McGrady, Francis, Ricky Davis and Jackson, a total of five young talents have qualified to participate in this year's dunk contest. Just looking at this list, you know that this year's dunk contest is not easy.

In past slam dunk contests, there were inevitably some less-known players, but the five players participating this year all had well-established backgrounds.

Even one of them, Ricky Davis, has gradually become a big boss in the Clippers. He averages 19 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists per game, which makes Clippers owner Sterling want to give Jiang Dongbing

Here comes the pennant.

Carter and Tracy McGrady are the first and second leaders of the Raptors, Jackson is the top leader of the Grizzlies, and Francis is now being trained as the top leader by the Rockets.

Such a slam dunk contest lineup is extremely rare. You don't even need to look at the performance of the participating players. This lineup alone is enough to get fans talking.

Countless fans came to the game site and packed the stadium to witness the birth of the new slam dunk king.

The All-Star Weekend has been suspended for a year, but the Slam Dunk Contest has not been held for two consecutive years. Previously, there were mainly no high-level dunkers, which led to less and less attention to this event.

Two years later, the NBA once again launched the Slam Dunk Contest. Maybe it’s something you only appreciate after you’ve lost it. The fans were very supportive this time. After the players entered the venue, screams and applause sounded like thunder.

Jiang Dongbing was sitting in the audience, also cheering for Jackson.

However, Jiang Dongbing also knows very well that in front of a historical super dunk player like Carter, Jackson's dunking skills are really a bit unsatisfactory, and there is definitely no hope of winning the dunk king honor anyway.

At the beginning, Jackson was the first to come on the court, and he immediately launched a powerful and heavy tomahawk chop. The strength and height were sufficient, but there was a lack of surprise and novelty, so the score given by the referee on the sidelines was not very high.

The highest one is only 45 points...

Then other players came on stage one after another. Because of Francis' height, it was difficult for him to make too shocking moves. Although the difficulty of dunking was good, it was not highly entertaining enough, so his score was only average.

The next Ricky Davis dunk was quite mediocre, and the points he scored were not as good as Jackson's.

Jiang Dongbing braced himself, Carter's dunk was coming next. The reason why this slam dunk contest has become a classic is because of Carter.

As soon as he came up, in just his first move, Carter made a super windmill with a 360-degree turn in the air. This dunk directly detonated the audience and won everyone's applause.

With his superhuman ability to stay in the air and his perfect execution of this extremely difficult dunk, all the judges gave him a perfect score of 50 points.

Jiang Dongbing smacked his lips. Being able to witness the birth of such a historic dunk with his own eyes, this All-Star weekend was definitely worth it.

After Carter made such a dunk, there was actually no suspense in this dunk contest. Even if McGrady performed well next, he was still not as dazzling as Carter.

After Carter successfully entered the finals, he defeated his opponents with a perfect performance and won the championship of this slam dunk contest, becoming an eternal classic.

Even Jackson failed to enter the finals. After the game, he laughed and chatted with Jiang Dongbing for a few words.

Although his performance was not very good, Jackson was still in a good mood. He also knew that these miscellaneous events were just entertainment and he just had to have fun.

Now that he can witness Carter's magical dunk with his own eyes, Jackson feels that he has not lost anything in participating.

In fact, not many players will be affected by their failure in the dunk contest. The dunk itself cannot prove a player's strength.

A magical 360-degree spin dunk like Carter's in the air, how can he use it in a real game? Even if one person is on a fast break, Carter will definitely not be able to use such a difficult shot without anyone defending him.

Dunking, hitting the sky is just a little trick of changing hands.

If dunking ability is equal to actual combat ability, then the future three-time dunk king Nate Robinson, even if he is not a top 50 star, must be at the level of a team boss.

But in fact, Nate Robinson has always been a role player and has never changed.

As far as this dunk contest is concerned, even if Carter completely beats Jackson in the dunk contest, no one will say that Carter is better than Jackson. After all, Jackson is the regular season MVP in his rookie season.

There is no one whose name has been recorded in NBA history books that can be compared to current Carter.

…

After the dunk contest ended, the three-point contest began. The participating lineup was much worse than that of the dunk contest. It was obvious from the loud cheers of the fans at the scene.

In the end, Grizzlies player Peja Stojakovic failed to win the three-point championship, and the championship was won by Jazz veteran Hornacek.

Interestingly, Hornacek also set a record this year, that is, the champion with the fewest points in the three-point contest finals.

In the final of the three-point contest, Hornacek only scored 13 points in total, directly breaking his own record of 16 points.

Think about the player Hornacek. He is really lucky. He has a wife and a daughter who are both beautiful. Even participating in a three-point contest is extremely lucky. Once he reaches the finals, regardless of his

No matter how bad his accuracy is, his opponent will always perform worse than him.

However, Hornacek's victory is actually what everyone expected. After all, among all the participating players, in terms of three-point strength, Hornacek is undoubtedly the strongest.

Hornacek's three-pointers get better as he gets older. In the first few years of his career, it may be because the league did not pay attention to three-pointers at that time, so his shooting rate was not high. As he went on, especially after joining the Jazz, this player

The veteran's three-point shooting was absolutely accurate.

Currently this season, Hornacek's three-point shooting percentage is as high as 48%, which is extremely amazing.

Peja's three-point shooting is actually not bad. Jiang Dongbing remembers that Peja also won the three-point contest for two consecutive years, but that is also in the future. Peja still has a long way to go.

…

There have been three consecutive events in which Grizzlies players participated, but the Grizzlies players still failed to win a trophy. This made Jiang Dongbing wonder, is there any Grizzlies player who can win the All-Star Game MVP?

Jiang Dongbing thought about it carefully and realized that this was really possible. Of course, the prerequisite was that he and his players were shameless enough, and the players had to be lucky enough.

According to the rules of the NBA All-Star Game, the coaches of both teams are the head coaches of the teams with the best records in the East and West.

In the West, Jiang Dongbing is undoubtedly the leader, while in the East, Pacers head coach Larry Bird leads the team.

The Grizzlies themselves have five players who can play, and Jiang Dongbing is the head coach. As long as Jiang Dongbing is thick-skinned and lets more of his players play, and the players work together to help a player improve his statistics, then in the end only the Western Conference

Win the game and get the All-Star MVP.

Many coaches don't care much about All-Star MVP, Jiang Dongbing is definitely an exception.

In his opinion, this All-Star MVP is completely the winner of a fight between gods. Although it has little impact on the player's historical status, it is still an MVP after all. If a player does not win all three MVPs, how can he be called a MVP?

Can it be regarded as a super giant of historical level?

After thinking about it, Jiang Dongbing felt that he should be thick-skinned this time and sacrifice himself to benefit his players.

It would be best if Jackson can win this MVP. Now Jackson already has the regular season MVP. If he wins this All-Star MVP and another MVP in this year's finals, his career will be completely complete...

Of course, this also depends on Jackson's luck. If he really works hard all night, then Jiang Dongbing won't be able to help.

Nowadays, there is still competition in the All-Star Game. Although it is not as fierce as the playoffs, it is not much different from the regular season. It is completely different from the later generations of All-Stars who put on airs to gain points.

.

If Jackson is really in bad shape and cannot collect statistics, then Jiang Dongbing may turn this opportunity to someone else, maybe Billups or David.
