Chapter 142 All-Stars Open
"At the end of the game, the Warriors relied on Sun Yi's three-pointer to defeat the Lakers with a score of 112 to 111, winning this high-profile Christmas game. Let us congratulate the Warriors on their final victory.
!”
"Tonight's game is definitely the most exciting Christmas game in the past ten years. There is no problem in calling it a classic game."
"Sun has brought us too many surprises. This is his second buzzer beater this season. I can't imagine what kind of answer he will give at the end of the season."
"Hahaha, Charles, the winning goal doesn't happen in every game. It requires a bit of luck."
"Kenny, I believe Sun will still complete the winning goal. This guy has brought us too many surprises. I look forward to his good performance in the next game."
"Okay, I have to say goodbye to everyone again. This game will be broadcast live here. See you in the next game!"
In the live commentary box, Barkley and Kenny Smith were doing the finishing work after the game.
Back on the field, the best player of the game was displayed on the big screen.
Sun Yi, who completed the winning goal, certainly received an honor.
In the 40 minutes he played, he made 12 of 19 field goals, including 2 of 2 three-pointers and 5 of 5 free throws. He scored 31 points, 11 rebounds, 7 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks.
In addition, three other Warriors scored in double figures.
Curry made 5 of 11 three-pointers and scored 21 points and 5 assists.
Ellis had 17 points and 2 assists; Maggette had 12 points and 4 rebounds.
For the Lakers, the most outstanding player is Kobe Bryant.
In the 42 minutes he played, he scored 38 points, 5 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 steals.
Gasol had a double-double with 18 points, 10 rebounds and 4 assists.
Bynum had 14 points and 8 rebounds; Artest had 11 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists.
After the game, Kobe was in a bad mood after being defeated, but as a senior, he was still able to pick it up and put it down. After adjusting his mentality, he stepped forward to shake hands with Sun Yi.
"Boy, you played well. I recognize your strength. Welcome to join the NBA."
"Nacha, thank you for the compliment." Sun Yi replied with a smile.
Kobe was stunned after hearing this, and felt that there was nothing wrong with this title.
Sun Yi looked at Kobe's expression and asked out of politeness: "Nachai, is it okay if I call you that?"
"Boy, you can call me whatever you want. Go back and continue to train hard. Your strength still needs to be improved. I won't show mercy next time we fight."
After finishing his talk without mercy, he turned around and walked towards the players tunnel.
Sun Yi looked at Nacha's retreating figure and shook his head slightly.
This cauliflower snake is too arrogant. His words of encouragement turned out to be unpleasant in this guy's mouth.
Immediately, he turned around and walked towards the players tunnel.
Because there will be a press conference after the Christmas game.
Therefore, when Sun Yi came to the sidelines, he was not surrounded by unsighted media reporters.
Entering the players tunnel, Sun Yi immediately saw a beautiful scenery.
Lily Collins looked up and saw Sun Yi's figure. She rushed over excitedly and gave Sun Yi a big hug enthusiastically.
Sun Yi was a little confused at this time. He felt that Nephrite was in his arms, and it was impossible not to feel a little flutter in his heart. This made him a little nervous and didn't know how to place his hands.
At this moment, Collins woke up and realized that he had lost his composure. His cheeks turned red with embarrassment, and he reluctantly separated from Sun Yi.
"Brother Yi, I'm sorry, I was a little impulsive just now." Collins explained hesitantly.
When she saw Sun Yi suddenly appearing in front of her eyes, her mind went blank, and she rushed forward without knowing what was going on.
"It doesn't matter. I'm covered in sweat, and I'm worried about being rejected by you. I'm very happy to see you here." Sun Yi resolved the embarrassment with humor.
"Brother Yi, congratulations on playing a perfect game."
"Thank you. This Christmas Eve is a very complete one for me."
After chatting for a while, Sun Yi sent Collins to the lounge and then walked towards the locker room.
After returning to the locker room, Sun Yi thought that he had a date with his wife, so he said hello to his teammates, went to the lockers, quickly found a change of clothes, and went to the shower room to take a shower.
While taking a shower, he received the reward issued by the system.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing Goal 1 and Goal 3 in the random mission. The rewards have been distributed. Please claim them as soon as possible."
After the system prompt ended, Sun Yi immediately received the reward.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining 1 green knee pad, 1 white wrist pad, and 15,000 training points."
[Green Knee Pads]: Permanently increases the wearer’s bounce attribute by 2 points.
He replaced the white knee pads in the equipment slot with green knee pads.
After finishing his work, Sun Yi turned off the system panel and quickly took a shower and washed himself.
After returning to the locker room, he packed up the things in the locker and then followed Nelson to the post-game press conference.
At the press conference, after Sun Yi, Nelson and others took their seats, media reporters rushed to ask various questions.
"Sun, congratulations on leading the team to victory in the game. How do you feel about completing the victory again?"
"I'm very excited to complete the buzzer-beater. I seized the opportunity and lived up to the trust of my coaches and teammates. I'm very grateful to them for giving me the opportunity to shoot the last ball." Sun Yi replied in a satisfactory manner.
"At the last moment of this game, you turned around early to celebrate after throwing the ball. Can you share what you were thinking at the time?"
"I felt very magical at the time. The basket was like the sea in my eyes. I could throw it no matter what I wanted. This may be the ultimate secret of a marksman." Sun Yizheng said nonsense.
Although the media reporters did not understand Sun Yi's words, they did not prevent this guy from pretending to be beeping.
"During the game tonight, Kenny Smith suggested that Lord Barton teach you post-up techniques. What do you think of this?"
"I think it's a good proposal." Sun Yi expressed his attitude.
If Barkley can be allowed to teach him post-up play, the improvement will definitely be very significant.
After that, Sun Yi answered a few irrelevant questions, and the post-match press conference came to an end.
He left the press conference, explained the situation to Nelson, and then walked toward the lounge.
"Lily, I kept you waiting for a long time, let's go." Sun Yi said apologetically.
"OK."
Collins nodded shyly and followed Sun Yi out of the lounge.
The two walked out of the arena together, took a taxi to the high-end restaurant they had already booked, and had their first date.
In this way, Sun Yi and Lily Collins spent a very happy Christmas Eve.
Before that, they would call each other to greet each other almost every day. Their relationship quickly warmed up and they naturally became a couple.
After finishing the late-night snack, Sun Yi sent Collins back to his apartment in Los Angeles, and he took a taxi back to the team's hotel.
The next day, after Sun Yi washed up, he went to the living room to eat breakfast and read news about himself and the Warriors on his mobile phone.
Without any suspense, Sun Yi dominated the front pages of all major media outlets across the United States.
This time, not only sports media, but also entertainment media also joined in the fun and reported news about Sun Yi.
Sports section:
"30 accurate triple-double, Sun Yi led the team to win the Christmas game!"
"Shine on Christmas Eve! Sun Yi delivers another killer kill!"
…
Entertainment section:
"Shocked! The popular NBA star met a mysterious woman on Christmas Eve."
"NBA rising star Sun Yi was the subject of scandals, and it turned out to be her?!"
…
Sun Yi sighed after reading the news report.
"These Hollywood paparazzi are so pervasive!"
After a quick breakfast, he packed his luggage and headed to the hotel lobby to meet the team.
When Sun Yi came to the hall, he saw Maggette and others looking listless with a pair of panda eyes, and immediately understood that these guys must have let themselves go last night.
We can't blame them for not being able to control themselves. After all, Los Angeles is a big city, and it's inevitable that they will indulge in the feasting and entertainment.
Not long after, other Warriors players came to the hotel lobby one after another.
After the team was assembled, Nelson led all the staff out of the hotel door, got on the long-awaited bus to the airport, and then took the team's private jet back to Auckland.
At the same time, in a mansion in Los Angeles, Buckley saw Sun Yi's interview report last night, and his eyes lit up.
"This guy is pretty good, and he suits my taste very well, so I will reluctantly give him all my money."
Sir Bar has made plans to take time to go to Auckland.
…
…
After the Christmas Day game, the Warriors returned home to face the Suns.
In front of the Suns, the Warriors' copycat version of running and gunning is simply not enough.
After the game started, the two teams had no intention of defending and wanted to win the game by attacking.
In such a chaotic battle, the players from both sides were at ease, the offense was very smooth, and the score kept rising.
Fans love such an exciting game very much and wish they could play like this in every game.
In the first three quarters of the game, the two sides were inseparable. No one took advantage and the point difference could not be widened.
Not long after the start of the fourth quarter, a turning point occurred.
The Suns were superior. After the attack was completed, they strengthened their defense and prevented the Warriors' attack, widening the point difference to more than 10 points.
The Warriors players did not give up and tried their best to catch up.
But the Suns have a top point guard like Nash who will never make mistakes and firmly control the rhythm of the game.
In this way, the Suns maintained their lead until the end of the game.
In the end, the Warriors lost to the Suns 121-132.
In terms of statistics, 5 Warriors players scored in double figures.
In the 40 minutes he played, Sun Yi scored 24 points, 12 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks.

Stoudemire scored 26 points and 8 rebounds; Richardson scored 19 points and 4 rebounds; Grant Hill scored 15 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists.
After the game against the Suns, the Warriors didn't get any time to rest and headed to Denver non-stop to challenge the Nuggets back to back.
During this period, the 2010 All-Star voting officially opened.
Since Dayao was canceled for the season and the UAE's performance was unsatisfactory, domestic fans could only vote for Sun Yi, hoping to make Sun Yi an All-Star starter.
At this stage, Sun Yi is averaging 18.5 points, 10.4 rebounds, 8.6 assists and 1.5 blocks per game.
Although the data is slightly lower than that in November, there is still no problem in entering the All-Star starting lineup with such data.
In overseas areas, Sun Yi can be said to be the best among domestic fans through voting, and the number of votes even far surpassed superstars such as Kobe and James.
In the national area, Sun Yi's vote will definitely be lower than that of superstars such as Kobe and James, but it is not too bad.
Sun Yi accumulated a large number of fans in the NCAA, and also gained support from a number of fans after entering the NBA.
Fortunately, Sun Yi played a perfect performance on Christmas Eve and left a deep impression on fans across the United States. As a result, his votes were not too low, and the total number of votes added up ranked among the top in the league.
Sun Yi was unaware of what was happening in the outside world and devoted himself wholeheartedly to tonight's game against the Nuggets.
This game is Anthony's revenge game, and the Nuggets players take it very seriously.
After the game started, the Nuggets players quickly entered the state, showing the strength of a strong team in the playoffs, and increased their defensive intensity, making the Warriors' offense not so easy.
Due to back-to-back games and high-altitude operations, most of the Warriors' players were out of shape, making many passing errors and frequently missing shots.
The Nuggets took the opportunity to hit a climax, quickly opening up the score and confirming their lead.
After the start of the second half, the Warriors' condition improved somewhat, hitting consecutive three-pointers from the outside and quickly narrowing the point difference.
At the critical moment, the Nuggets withstood the pressure and relied on Billups to control the situation. Anthony scored in a single, suppressing the Warriors' counterattack momentum.
In this way, the Nuggets relied on the advantage they established in the first half to suppress the Warriors and maintain their lead until the end.
In the end, the Warriors lost to the Nuggets 94-106, suffering a two-game losing streak.
In terms of statistics, three Warriors players scored in double figures.
In the 42 minutes he played, Sun Yi scored 17 points, 8 rebounds, 9 assists, 1 steal and 3 blocks.
Curry scored 16 points, 5 assists and 2 steals in 38 minutes on the court.
Ellis scored a team-high 29 points.
For the Nuggets, the best player is Anthony.
In the 42 minutes he played, he scored 28 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists and 1 block.
Billups had 19 points and 8 assists; Jr. Smith had 21 points and 3 rebounds; Kenyon Martin had a double-double with 12 points and 11 rebounds.
