February 13.

After the rookie challenge, three-pointers, dunks and other major competitions were completed one after another, the league also ushered in the last day of this All-Star Weekend, which is the All-Star Game.

For the upcoming All-Star Game, this is definitely very attractive to fans.

Throughout the All-Star Weekend, the most popular thing fans want to see is the All-Star Game performance.

Because only in this case can fans see these big names working together to satisfy their daily fantasies.

This All-Star Weekend is definitely a rewarding experience for the Magic. First, Su Jiu and Courtney Li participated in the first day of the rookie challenge.

Then on the next day, Courtney Lee participated in the three-point competition, Howard participated in the dunk competition, and finally in the All-Star Game, Howard, Iverson and Su Jiu will participate.

And if Lewis was not injured accidentally, this means that the Magic will play four players at the same time in this All-Star Game.

However, even though Lewis is currently absent due to injury, Lewis's honor to be selected as the All-Star is still counted.

So this year, the Magic also had four players selected for the All-Star Game, shocking the league in one fell swoop.

Before the game started, the commentators on the scene also pronounced their names one by one, and then the players entered the field according to their names.

Whenever the commentator pronounces a name, the audience will burst into applause.

After all, being selected for the All-Star Game means that this player either has top strength in the league or has top popularity.

But no matter which one it is, it represents the player's personal strength. After all, after the league changed the All-Star voting rules, simple voting is no longer enough to send a player into the All-Star lineup.

While players have a certain popularity, they must also have certain strength in the league, so those who can be selected for the All-Star Game will definitely not be too bad.

"Let's welcome the next player to enter the Eastern All-Stars, Su~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After the on-site commentator dragged the long voice to pronounce Su Jiu's name, Su Jiu also raised his hands high, with a faint smile on his face, and then jumped into the venue.

When Su Jiu entered the court, a very fierce cheer broke out on the entire scene. This cheer was even not far from the previous LeBron James.

So if you only talk about popularity, then Su Jiu is definitely a good player in the league at present.

As all players on both sides entered the court, the east and west teams also warmed up shooting in their respective halfs.

However, before that, the players on both sides had hugs and conversations.

There were even relaxed smiles on each other's faces, and they did not take this game seriously at all.

After all, in this era when Arenas, Marbury and others are gradually withdrawing from the stage of history, the All-Star Game has become a real entertainment show competition.

Unless the scores of both sides are almost the same in the last two minutes of the fourth quarter, the stars of both sides will never show their unique skills to show off their duels.

The head coaches who are responsible for coaching the two All-Stars in the East and West are Phil Jackson, who ranks first in the West and Stan Van Gundy, who ranks first in the East.

Both of them are currently leading the team to win the top spot in the East and West China, and are also far ahead in the championship predictions this season.

So the two hugged each other before the game and started a conversation with each other with a smile.

It is worth mentioning that in the last round of voting before the All-Stars, Howard also emerged and completed a successful counterattack in terms of votes.

And things are far more than that. As the "vote king" of this All-Star Game, Howard won a record 3150,181 votes in the end.

While he was firmly in the league's vote leader without any suspense, he also easily broke the previous record of 255,8728 million votes set by Yao Ming four years ago.

Chinese center Yao Ming has been the starter of the Western Conference All-Star for seven consecutive years, so Yao Ming has definitely made great contributions to the development of Chinese basketball in the overseas NBA league.

In addition, Yao Ming finally had 2532,958 votes in this All-Star Game, ranking third in the entire West, second only to Black Mamba Kobe and Stone Buddha Duncan.

As for Su Jiu's final votes at this All-Star Conference, although there were only more than 1.7 million, it was enough to help Su Jiu successfully break through the siege in the backcourt of the East.

After all, the guys above are all perverts in the league. It is rare for Su Jiu to reach more than 1.7 million votes.

At least in the past 10 years, except Yao Ming, no one has been able to get an All-Star record of 1.7 million votes in his rookie season.

Before the game began, both sides also announced the starting lineups of this game:

Western All-Stars:

Paul, Kobe, Stoudemire, Duncan, Yao Ming.

Eastern All-Stars:

Iverson, Wade, James, Garnett, and Howard.

If we look at the lineup alone, then the Eastern All-Stars will obviously be more reasonable.

Whether on the offensive end or defensive end, the distribution is very even, and all positions are relatively complete.

However, for this All-Star Game, everyone is obviously playing basketball with a playful mentality.

So this also led to the fact that the defense intensity of the game was very low after both sides came up, and they often witnessed the opponent performing some fancy aerial dunks.

Among them, Howard made frequent moves outside the three-point line, treating this as a game.

Seeing Howard having fun playing on the court, he was absolutely sure when he shot three-pointers. This also made Su Jiu shook his head off the court, and he had to sigh:

"His grandma, I really don't use All-Stars as a game. I don't dare to play like this in the game..."

As time goes by, the head coaches of both sides have made several substitution adjustments. After all, those who can be voted for the All-Star are their own popularity.

So as the head coach, you can't keep letting others sit on the bench. No matter how long you play, you must always let others show off their faces when they play.

So during the first time the substitution was adjusted, Su Jiu got what he wanted and was taken to the court by Van Gundy.

After all, no matter what, this is his own disciple. Van Gundy is more clear about this. Anyway, he is thick-skinned and is not afraid of the media saying that he deliberately favors others.

After Su Jiu came on the court, the defensive intensity given by both sides was still relatively low, basically mainly based on entertainment and performance.

Faced with this situation, Su Jiu was not polite at all. He directly bombarded the basket and scored crazily.

After scoring for two rounds, Su Jiu did not forget to send a few wonderful passes to his teammates and also scored several assists.

Su Jiu, who came back from later generations, knew very well that if you can't uncover your face in the All-Star Game, your data will definitely be ugly.

At this point, Su Jiu also studied from Westbrook in the future, and just started to do it wildly.

No matter what fans will swear after the game, anyway, the data has been obtained. After all, this is an honor that can be used to boast about after retirement...

"Ahem, I thought I was also a man who could kill all the All-Star Games. If you don't believe me, go and check out my personal honors and game data..."

With this entertainment-oriented mentality, the players on both sides play more easily on the court.

However, the Eastern All-Stars obviously have a better feel, so at the end of the half, the Eastern All-Stars also had:

86:72

Lead by 14 points.

During the intermission, neither coaches made too many arrangements.

After all, neither of them cared about such a game, whether it was Phil Jackson or Stan Van Gundy.

Because compared to such an entertainment performance competition, the second half of the All-Stars schedule is what the two people value the most.

After returning from the second half, the Western Conference All-Stars also tried to start to make efforts, wanting to catch up with the score.

However, with Kobe's four-super-super-three-iron operation, the Eastern Conference All-Stars also completely established the victory.

Finally, after the game ended, this game without much defensive intensity was completely over, while the Eastern Conference All-Stars successfully:

168:151

17 points defeated the Western Conference All-Stars.

At the moment the game ended, the fans on the scene also gave applause to all the players at the first time.

Regardless of whether the two sides are attentive to play in this game, it is a visual enjoyment to be able to see so many big names gathered together at the same time.

Amid the cheers of the audience, the players on both sides also had a conversation with each other, giving each other hugs and encouragement.

Because all the players here know very well that after this All-Star weekend, if they can meet each other again, they will definitely fight with all their might without regressing at all.

After the competition, facing the cheers from the audience, the staff finally awarded the MVP trophy for the All-Star Game to Howard.

Howard was very happy in this game. Everyone was feeding him aerial relay cakes, and Su Jiu alone fed Howard no less than four times.

In the 28 minutes of playing in the game, Howard made 14 of 17 shots, of which the three-pointers were magically made 2 of 5 shots, and scored 30 points, 11 rebounds and 2 assists with two-point shooting percentage.

Although LeBron James eventually contributed 29 points, 5 rebounds and 7 assists.

However, the staff eventually awarded the All-Star MVP trophy to Howard.

Obviously, the title of All-Star Tender King also gave Howard a lot of bonuses.

In addition to Howard and James, another Magic player, Iverson, was relatively restrained in this game.

I don’t know if it was time that made Xiao Ai less keen on performance, or if Iverson was not interested in this All-Star Game at all.

Iverson played for a total of 21 minutes in the whole game, including 2 of 4 shots and 0 of 2 from outside the three-point line. He contributed 4 points, 1 rebound and 2 assists like a salted fish.

It is obvious that Iverson's desire to attack in this All-Star game is not particularly strong, and he still wants to go through a formality.

Apart from Howard and Iverson, Su Jiu, who participated in the All-Star Game for the first time in his career, performed quite eye-catchingly in this game.

With the help of head coach Stan Van Gundy, Su Jiu, who came on as a substitute, played for a total of 25 minutes in the whole game.

Among them, he made 7 of 10 shots and 0 of 2 from outside the three-point line, and eventually scored a 14-point, 4 rebounds and 6 assists.

It can be said that as Su Jiu, who participated in the All-Star Game for the first time, Su Jiu not only showed any hesitation on the court, but instead played more relaxedly.

The posture on the court is even more experienced than the veteran. Of course, the performance he contributed in the end is also quite perfect.

With the end of the All-Star Game, this means that the holiday time for the 2009 All-Star Weekend has completely ended.

Next, each team will launch a fierce counterattack for the playoffs.

Whether it is a team that is currently in a high position or a team that is struggling on the edge of the playoffs, no one dares to be careless at all.

Because throughout March, not only is the legendary crazy March in NCAA, but for NBA teams, as long as they want to make a difference in the playoff rankings, it will definitely be a crazy journey...
