Chapter 279 The storm is about to come(1/2)
This year's All-Star, Lin Xing is ready to make a living again.
That's why he felt that the call for "Farke Sda" was annoying.
But all this is inevitable.
Just like the first day of the All-Star, he appeared at the Madison Square Garden Arena to cheer for his younger brother Kobe.
As a result, as soon as he appeared, Madison was filled with calls from "Farke Sda".
"Code..."
Lin Xing cursed inwardly, and he finally felt bored.
I was thinking in my heart what method could be used to make these Knicks fans convinced.
Or at least, the Knicks fans are reluctant to mention "Farke Stadt" again.
The current rookie challenge is the second rookie challenge that Kobe participated in.
It is logical that he doesn't have to participate, because since the rookie competition was launched, all the rookies participated in the rookie competition.
But this year, the league decided to change the rules and use the first grade to fight the second grade and fight the final battle across grades.
Kobe was qualified to participate, but even so, he still didn't have to participate.
Because this year, Kobe is still the starter of the All-Star Game.
But in last year's rookie match, Allen Iverson snatched the rookie match MVP trophy from Kobe.
This made Kobe, who had always been determined to compete with Lin Xing, feel resentful, so this year, he made a comeback.
Lin Xing is of course supporting his own brother if he wants to win honors.
And this battle between the first grade and the second grade, the one with more advantages is definitely the second grade.
With more years of professional basketball experience and more years of experience, the strength level will definitely be higher.
"It's not a big problem to win in the second grade, so if Kobe wants to win the MVP, it depends on how the team competes."
In terms of team competition, Iverson did not participate in this year, and Kobe's biggest opponent should be Marbury of the Timberwolves.
Last year, Marbury failed to play due to injury. This year, like Kobe, he made a comeback, with his goal directly targeting the MVP.
If you want to talk about Marbury, she still has strength. She didn't play much in the rookie season due to injuries.
Now this season, he has maintained full attendance, averaging 17.7 points, 8.6 assists and 1.3 steals per game so far, and is also a promising first-class point guard in the future.
"If Kobe can't compete with Marbury, he can only say that he has no MVP in his life."
In his previous life, 1998 All-Stars, the NBA has not changed the rules of the rookie tournament to first- and second-grade confrontations.
Therefore, Kobe, who was snatched MVP by Iverson in the rookie season, did not have the honor of MVP in the All-Star Rookie Championship.
Soon, the game started.
What was surprising was that the final winner of this game was Kobe, not Marbury, nor was he even a sophomore team.
The main thing is Carter and McGrady, the cousins, who cooperate very closely.
In contrast, Kobe and Marbury are fighting each other in the second-year team.
Lin Xing didn't find it surprising in the end.
"Congratulations to Vince Carter, he became the MVP of the 1998 All-Star Weekend Rookie Challenge, which is the first trophy he won this year on this All-Star Weekend!"
Although it was not surprising, Lin Xing frowned when he saw Carter holding the cup.
As the commentator said, this year's All-Star Weekend, Carter's goal is to dunk the king.
In fact, Lin Xing doesn't think that there are other people who can threaten Carter in this year's slam dunk contest.
In other words, the title of the dunk king belongs to Carter on the board.
"In addition to a rookie MVP trophy, Vince Carter has also started this rookie season."
Lin Xing feels that he may not be able to sit still in the position of the traffic king in recent years.
"The old man is probably going to find the first opponent I can meet, but it's not on the court, but outside the court."
Lin Xing's eyes were full of himself, but he still ignored the other impacts brought by this MVP—
McGrady's value has increased due to this rookie game, but not many of it has risen.
On the Bulls, Danzi still strongly asked to use McGrady to exchange for the ready-to-fight power he wanted.
However, because of this rookie game, Carter became the chosen son who was comparable to Iverson.
He and Iverson are increasingly unable to coexist, and the 76ers may have to make up their minds to choose one.
At the end of the game, Lin Xing not only sighed that Carter's popularity was about to soar, but also pulled Kobe to say:
"So, basketball is a team, you understand, Kobe?"
This is what it means.
In the previous game, although the game was in a stalemate, Kobe failed to show his ability to attack large open spaces.
But later, after the score was completely widened, Lin Xing was replaced, and Kobe still performed hard.
Lin Xing frowned when he saw it. He knew that this was not a good sign.
Kobe is dominating the ball and making over-selling shots, which is a sign of power struggle.
Lin Xing has long-term expectations for Kobe.
Mo Ning has hidden danger of kidney disease, and Kobe must be the one who will accompany Lin Xing further in the future.
So, he seized the opportunity and told Kobe the importance of the team.
But Lin Xing didn't expect that Kobe was thinking about what Lin Xing said:
Team? If I leave here and set up my own business, I have to find a few good teammates.
...
The miscellaneous matches the next day had nothing to do with the Warriors, and Lin Xing didn't even go to the scene.
He pulled the shark who wanted to show his face at the scene, and with the good brothers Payton, Xiaozhu, and Kidd, he found a restaurant and said he wanted to comfort Kobe, who lost his MVP yesterday.
As a result, somehow the group bumped into Danzi, who was holding a cigar in her mouth and came to Ewing's home court.
Behind Danzi, Buckley, was also following the flying pig.
When Lin Xing saw this pair of combination, his first reaction was-
Isn't Fliggy going to join forces with Danzi?
To be honest, this is really possible.
Now, the Rockets' Big Three are not in line with their names, and Barkley and Dameng have both declined.
Especially Barkley, who has fallen, only 15.2 points and 11.7 rebounds per game.
Among the three Rockets, the only one who has no championship is Fliggy.
Seeing that there is no hope of winning the championship, how can Sir Fliggy not be anxious?
In this hurry, it is reasonable to find Danzi, who is an old opponent but also a good friend off the field.
It just so happens that the Rockets are also interested in rebuilding now.
If one McGrady really wants to send it over, the Rockets may be able to pack the Big Three to give it to the Bulls.
"Don't be so bad, Dameng and Fliggy both went to the bull..."
The glider bull must not want, after all, the position overlaps with Danzi.
But the other two, Bull or Danzi, must still be eager for it.
No matter how many Dameng declines, it is the four centers that were once the first, and the five centers now, so it won’t be at a disadvantage against Mo Ning.
This season, the Warriors and the Rockets have not played. The decline in Dameng is like beating his younger brother.
As for Barkley, the scores declined more because he changed his style, and he averaged 11.7 rebounds per game.
More importantly, Barkley is a rare existence in this alliance who can physically compete with Lin Xing.
"A Danzi and a Barkley, this defense also makes me have a headache."
"No, no, Danzi shouldn't be so shameless, right?"
Looking at Danzi and Barkley who had a very happy chat at the beginning, but saw Lin Xing and his group changing their faces.
Lin Xing felt that he smelled a scent of storm.
But soon, the two teams came into contact with each other, and Danzi gave an invitation as usual.
"Yo, you are here too? I didn't go to see this year's three-point competition and slam dunk competition? That happens, Patrick and I have a card game, and there are still few people, should we go together?"
In this way, Lin Xing brought Sharks, Payton and Kobe to join Danzi, Ewing and Barkley's game.
The game was in full swing, and Madison's game was in full swing.
In the three-point competition, the national father-in-law Jeff Hornersek successfully won the championship, but the score was slightly lower.
