Today, the league will stage many competitive competitions such as skills/three-pointers/dunks.

However, since there are no Thunder players in these events, Yang Fan is not interested in these competitions at all.

Even Yang Fan, the dunk contest that fans are most looking forward to every year, has no desire to watch it.

After all, Yang Fan, who has been a man for two lives, knows well that this year's dunk contest is called the worst in history.

Although the veteran dunk king "Little Potato" Nate Robinson achieved the feat of three consecutive championships in the dunk contest this year, this still cannot stop the disappointing fact of the process.

So in this case, Yang Fan naturally didn't want to waste his time on these boring things. Instead of watching the game on site, Yang Fan would rather sleep in the hotel in a daze.

Because after the All-Star Weekend is over, it will be extremely difficult for Yang Fan to sleep in again.

Although Yang Fan was not interested in these duels today, it could not affect the enthusiasm of the fans at all.

And so far, the attendance rate of this year's All-Star Weekend has broken the league's historical record.

Many sports experts even said that if calculated based on the current traffic, the All-Star Game that will be staged tomorrow is likely to break through the 100,000 people mark on the spot, thus creating the NBA All-Star Peak in one fell swoop.

As time continues to advance, the performances of major competitions such as skills/three-pointers/slam dunks are presented one by one.

The final winner of the Skills Competition was won by Steve Nash, while the three-point contest was won by Pierce of the Celtics.

As for the dunk contest, it was still won by Nate Robinson, who was only 1.75 meters tall.

While successfully winning the Dunk Contest three times, he became the first triple champion in NBA history.

In addition, after the game, Nate Robinson also publicly stated that this will be his last time to participate in the slam dunk contest, and from then on he will forget about the slam dunk contest!!

Many people can understand this choice of "Little Potato" Nate Robinson, after all, Robinson has become the most successful dunk champion in NBA history.

So even if he participates in the slam dunk competition, he will not bring too much benefits. If he performs poorly in the slam dunk competition, he is likely to lose his signature.

In this case, the wisest choice is undoubtedly the most wisest choice.

Of course, a large part of the reason is that Robinson already knew that it would be difficult to crush the results and won the championship of the Dunk Contest. After all, he was able to win the title of the dunk champion this year due to the intentional success of the league.

So in the final, Robinson was able to defeat DeRozan with a 51% approval rating, with no more than 1% more.

It is precisely because of this that this dunk contest in later generations was called the worst.

But it happened that in the worst slam dunk contest, the first in the NBA slam dunk contest was born.

It has to be said that in front of capitalists, all facts will appear so absurd and ridiculous.

February 14.

On Valentine's Day, when many hotels will be full, and at night there will be "fire fire" in the 2009-10 All-Star Game will officially start.

One of the league's most famous salted fish, Yang Fan will serve as the bishop of the Western Conference All-Stars, and the head coach of the Eastern Conference All-Stars will be Stan Van Gundy of the Magic.

There is no way. Even if the Cavaliers once again scored the first place in the Eastern Conference, Mike Brown, the head coach of the Cavaliers, had already served as the coach of the Eastern Conference All-Star Game last year.

According to the league's regulations, a coach cannot serve as an All-Star coach for two consecutive years.

So in this case, Magic head coach Stan Van Gundy, who is temporarily ranked second in the East, undoubtedly got a bargain.

Of course, for Yang Fan, no matter who is the coach of the Eastern Conference All-Star Game, it is the same. Anyway, the All-Star Game is mainly entertainment-oriented.

As long as it is not at the last critical moment, the coach will basically be a decoration, relying on the audience's preferences to change people, adjust the lineup, and basically no tactics will be arranged.

At most, it depends on who performs well and then gives who plays more time to help the player win the All-Star MVP as much as possible.

In addition, coaches who can coach the All-Star Game will more or less tend to be their own players. This kind of thing has become an unspoken rule in the league, and no one will chew the tongue behind their backs.

This year, four players from the Thunder were selected into the All-Star Game at the same time, so this made Yang Fan, as the head coach, more or less cheer up.

As the saying goes, "It's not too much to help your players win the All-Star MVP!!

After all, a coach cannot serve as the All-Star Game bishop for two consecutive years, so even if the Thunder still wins first place in the Western Conference next year, Yang Fan cannot coach the All-Star Game again.

Then in this case, the opportunity to help players win honors this time will be crucial.

Perhaps for the thin-skinned head coaches, they may be embarrassed to favor their players openly.

In order to avoid some rumors, he deliberately suppressed his players' playing time to a very low level to prove his fairness and selflessness.

But this is not a problem for Yang Fan, because Yang Fan is not afraid of moral kidnapping at all.

As the saying goes, as long as one person has no morality, then other people will naturally not be able to morally kidnap!!

Before the game started, players from both sides gathered together to talk and laugh, and there was a smile on each other's faces.

There is no tension or oppression in the atmosphere on the entire court. After all, players who can be selected as All-Stars are definitely the leading stars or absolute main players of each team.

So when you are already tired enough to work hard in the regular season, the majority of people who play in the All-Stars show are naturally not working hard.

Otherwise, if you really put all your strength into the fight under such starry conditions, the intensity of the game would be much greater than that of the finals.

The most important thing is that if you leave the game with an injury in the All-Star Game, no one will be responsible for the players.

It is precisely because of this that no matter how the league requires players to do their best and contribute a real game to the fans, the players still start paddling like retirement.

It can be said that this behavior has become a normal state, and in this turbid environment, it seems that the player is the most correct choice to play on the court.

Once there is a player who really shows 120% determination and takes this All-Star game seriously, it may be considered a real alternative in the eyes of others!!

As the game is about to begin, all the starters from the east and west will come to the court.

Since the starting lineup of the All-Star Game was voted by fans, the head coach did not need to arrange anything before the game.

Basically, I just brag and fuck with the players. When I meet a young coach like Yang Fan, I can also talk about dirty jokes.

The starting players of the Western Conference All-Stars this year are:

Nash, Anthony, Durant, Nowitzki, and Duncan.

Here in the east is:

Wade, Joe Johnson, James, Garnett, and Howard.

Originally, under normal circumstances, the forward and defenders should be in a separate state. No matter how high the forward players vote, they cannot occupy the position of the defender or center.

However, since the Western Conference starter Kobe cannot play due to injury this year, Nowitzki, as the host, naturally replaced Kobe as the starting position.

Although Yang Fan really wanted to start all four of his team, this was not a rule after all.
Chapter completed!
