The h-o-r-s-e competition ended with Durant's defending title. Next is the "Shot Star Game". The game consists of four teams, each team consisting of three players, one NBA active player, one NBA retired player and one WNBA player. Each team has to shoot three-pointers at 6 points, and the last point is the most difficult and you have to take action outside the midfield.

Atlanta took the lead in playing, they wasted multiple shooting opportunities in the half-court position, and finally the legendary Steve Smith shot the half-court ball, but the time stayed at 1 minute and 47 seconds. The other two players were Joe Johnson and McCavertry.

The next player was Los Angeles, who also completed the last shot by celebrities Brent Barry, but their time stayed for 1 minute, which allowed them to lead the way temporarily. The other two Los Angeles players are Paul Gasol and wnba's Harris.

The Sacramento team, composed of Chris Webber, Tyrek Evans and Powell, was the third player to play. They also encountered great trouble in the midfield position. In the end, Powell made a shot, and they ended with 1 minute and 46 seconds, which meant that Los Angeles entered the finals early.

The Texas team led by Dirk Nowitzki made the final appearance, and his other two teammates were Kenny Smith and Harmon. After many attempts in the midfield position, Smith made the ball into the middle circle, and they ranked second to enter the finals in 1 minute and 28 seconds.

Texas played first in the final round, and they performed very well in the first five positions. They only took 17 seconds to enter the half-court position. Nowitzki showed his superstar style at this time, and he threw the ball in the midfield. Texas ended the final with 34.3 seconds.

The pressure was given to Los Angeles. They completed the first five positions in 25 seconds. However, in the midfield position, Los Angeles obviously did not have the luck of the host. It took them 55.2 seconds when Gasol made the ball, so that the Texas team who played at home won the championship.

There was no exception to the stars on the sidelines. Before the game, they all bet on the host's victory. Of course, they would give Dallas some face to play like this. However, in the end, Nowitzki scored one shot in the midfield, which was something that no one expected. If everyone lets go appropriately during the preliminary round, then the final is the Dallasians' own ability.

The next "Shot Stars Game" is the "Skills Challenge", which best tests a defender's excellent passing ability, so this is a competition between the best NBA defenders. Last year's Skills King was the Bulls' No. 1 pick, Ross, who originally faced new and old challengers like Nash, Deron Williams and Jennings this year.

Steve Nash participated in the Skills Challenge again this year, so the two brothers naturally had to support them on the spot.

The Suns are now negotiating with the Nets, and Nash still has feelings for the Suns and does not want the Suns to get nothing next year, so the two teams are discussing a deal between Harris and Nash.

The Nets are not in a hurry to trade. The cards they hold are so good now. Bobby Simmons, the highest-salary salary in the team, has only 10 million yuan, and this year is still the last year of the contract, which is simply a treasure. Tony Barty, the third highest-salary salary in the team, has only 6 million yuan in annual salary, and he is also the last year contract. In addition, they do not have players with an annual salary of more than 5 million yuan, and many of them have last year contracts.

Next summer, Harris will be the highest annual salary of the Nets, but it will be less than 9 million. The entire team will only have a salary of over 10 million by then. Next year, they will be the team with the best salary space with the Knicks. With more than 40 million, they will be able to sign two superstars.

The Nets don't care about the Suns' trading plan. Their willingness to negotiate is to give Ji Guoqiu the face behind the scenes. Everyone knows the relationship between Nash and the two brothers, and this face must be given. Now the two sides are confused about draft picks. Of course, the Suns are embarrassed to ask for the Nets' draft picks, but the Nets want the Suns' draft picks, but the Suns don't want to hand over it.

"Stephen, I can't insert the negotiations at the top of the team, I hope you understand."

Before the game started, Ji Guoqiu murmured with Nash.

"I understand, you don't have to care too much. I don't owe the sun anything. After so many years, I'm so old. It's time to plan for myself."

Nash naturally won't make a strong move. He also knows that he will remain in shape for two years at most, but Harris is different. This extremely fast point guard is at the peak of his career, and the contract is small. If the Nets want to trade, some teams in the league are rushing to ask for it.

Harris averaged 20+6 All-Star performances per game last season, and this season also averaged 18+7, which is still an All-Star performance. Now it is worth more than 36-year-old Nash. The Nets are willing to trade like this for the sake of the boss behind the scenes, and the boss behind the scenes naturally gives Nash face, so Nash has done his best to the Suns.

In today's Skills Challenge, Bulls No. 1 pick Derek Ross will not be able to participate due to injury. The one who replaced him will be Russell Westbrook, the Thunder's who performed well in the Rookie Challenge.

Derek Ross beat all the experts to win the championship in last year's All-Star Skills Challenge. The Bulls No. 1 pick originally planned to defend the title this year, but now he has to withdraw from the All-Star Skills Challenge due to a hip injury. However, Derek Ross, who is currently in the recovery period due to a hip strain, will still return in the All-Star Confrontation, and for this reason he also gave a relatively clear probability number: between 80%-90%.

There are 4 players participating in this Skills Competition, divided into two rounds of the preliminary and finals. Except for Russell Westbrook, who replaced Ross, the other three are Jennings, Nash, and Deron Williams.

Westbrook first appeared. He didn't seem to be very adaptable when he first appeared in the skill match, and he was not prepared for the temporary substitution. He took 44.1 seconds to complete the game. Rookie Brandon Jennings followed closely. Jennings was in good momentum at the beginning, but he made consecutive mistakes on his second pass, which took him 35.7 seconds in the end.

Nash made his third appearance, and he performed very easily, and he made every move. It can be seen that in terms of pass control technology, Nash is indeed at least one level higher than the first two. After Nash completed his layup, the time was stopped at 32 seconds, and the Son of Wind had already ensured his qualification for the finals.

Deron Williams made the final appearance. Although his movements were not as casual as Nash, compared with the previous two, the fat man's passing and control skills were more simple and unpretentious, and his basic skills were far above the previous two. In the end, he spent 33 seconds to enter the finals with Nash. This was a showdown between the champion in 2005 and the champion in 2008.

Nash took the lead in the finals, and he obviously accelerated his speed, and his expression was much more serious than in the preliminaries. The pass and shot were completed in one go. The final shot was hollowed out and the fans stood up and applauded. The 36-year-old Nash's performance today interpreted what a passing and control skill was, and also allowed the two rookies to see what a real point guard was. Wind's son finally ended the game in just 27.2 seconds, and he ended the final with a 35.5-second time better than Ross's championship last year.

Delong appeared under pressure, but the little fat man still has enough confidence in himself. After all, the record of this event is still created by him. Delong handled the first few positions in one go, and his start was very smooth, but in the third pass position, Delong seemed impatient after failing to succeed for the first time, which wasted a lot of his time. When he made the final layup, Nash, who had already won, jumped out to pretend to block, which aroused cheers from fans. Nash won the championship of the skills competition again after 2005.

Nash won the Skills Challenge again, but in fact, Nash also participated in the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics in his motherland Vancouver, Canada yesterday. Nash won the Skills Challenge championship due to extreme lack of sleep.

Nash said after the Skill Challenge: "I just slept for a few and a half hours today. I arrived at Dallas at 7 a.m., and then went to the hotel. After a while, I participated in the morning training. Then I went back to the hotel for half an hour to sleep. But these are worth it. If you win an extra championship, you can add a sum to your resume."

In the second round, Nash almost ran into the cameraman at the start, and after the game he laughed: "I was just surprised, do they want me to jump over them too. Fortunately, I was not injured myself because I was a little tight at that time, and it would be a good thing that they could move away."

Finally, Nash introduced the reason why he can maintain such a high competitive state at an advanced age: "You must like to play games, become an integral part of the team, and enjoy the process. Without these, all the hard work will become impossible. Only by liking basketball and playing games, so that you can train hard because you love playing games and the team."

Nash himself is also a very avid football fan. He revealed that he will pay attention to the World Cup held in South Africa this year: "I can't wait, but the World Cup is only one for four years. It's useless to be anxious. I'm excited to wait for the arrival of this summer."

Ji Guoqiu was right next to him, and the reporter took the opportunity to ask him if he would go to the South Africa World Cup.

"No, I'll keep training in the summer."

Ji Guoqiu is not interested in football, and South Africa's public security is not very good. He would rather go to Asia with the shredded radish than to go to South Africa.

The reporter asked Ji Guochou again about the Nets' affairs. There have been many rumors about the deal between the Nets and the Suns recently. The reporter took the opportunity to ask about the chances of the two becoming teammates next season?
