On the day after the All-Star Rookie Game, the various activities of the All-Star Game officially started. The first one was the Shooting Star Contest, an event that was so boring that it made people doze off. Although the NBA officially explained this event
How significant and far-reaching it is, but no one is interested in it.
This is not even as eye-catching as the back-and-forth running game between the famous loudmouth Charles Barkley and NBA veteran referee Rick Bavetta. At least this game has some gimmicks, especially when looking at the big-bellied Charles Barkley and NBA veteran referee Rick Bavetta.
The gray-haired Rick Bavetta can make people laugh when they play with each other.
Adrian even made a small bet of ten dollars, but of course he lost without any doubt in the end.
Shooting Stars is participated by four cities with NBA teams. A team composed of one main player, one retired superstar, and one NBA superstar from the four NBA teams in the four cities will participate.
The cities of the competition were the previous champion San Antonio, as well as Chicago, Detroit and Los Angeles. San Antonio sent the team's main point guard Tony Parker, Galaxy star forward Kendra Vick and Hall of Fame star "Iceman" George Given.
;
Chicago's lineup includes Ben Gordon and Sky forwards Candace Dupree and Scottie Pippen; Detroit is led by Chauncey Billups, shock forward Sven Cash and Bill Laimbeer.
; Luke Walton, Sparks rookie Temeka Johnson and Michael Cooper make up the Los Angeles lineup.
In the end, Detroit relied on a rather controversial penalty to finally win this game that almost no one paid attention to.
After the competition, there will naturally be song and dance performances and some entertainment projects, followed by a skill challenge that may be even more boring.
"What, are you bored? I told you, but you just didn't believe it." One look at Molly's pouty lips that could hold two bottles of soy sauce, and Adrian knew that Molly Quinn must feel like this kind of game.
It was quite boring. At the same time, Adrian looked towards the man sitting not far away.
It is true that these games, which look lively but are actually old and lackluster in content, are okay to watch once or twice. Even if they are just a lively event, they will be quite interesting. However, if you watch them more and experience them more, they will inevitably become boring.
I feel like this All-Star Game has a lot of attention paid to it.
However, the focus of the All-Star Game is not on these games that have little meaning even if they win, but on the interaction between stars and fans. It is a way for the NBA to give back to the fans for their support, and it is also a way to promote NBA culture.
It is a channel, and it is also the best opportunity for advertisers to promote massively. Unfortunately, this content is as bland as boiled water, if there is not a star-studded All-Star Game waiting there at the end as a gluttonous feast for fans.
, I guess no one can bear it.
"It's... it's not boring." Molly waved her little fist to demonstrate fiercely at Adrian, but she soon gave up.
"Oh my god, I really can't do anything to you. Here is this for you." Adrian took out something from it and handed it to Molly mysteriously.
"Ah~~!" Molly stared in surprise at the slender little life she touched on her palm.
"Meow~~"
It was a beautiful little kitten that had just opened its glasses and was no bigger than a palm. Its black fur was as smooth as satin, and it was staring at the noisy environment around it with its amber-like eyes.
"Kitten!" Molly Quinn suddenly laughed happily.
Seeing Molly's smile, Adrian couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. After all, it was something he had spent two hundred thousand dollars in exchange for. It was a good result to make the little loli smile. By the way, next year, isn't it?
Upgrading to an otome? Oops, the shelf life of loli is so short...
Although Adrian was not interested in these boring competitions, he still had a mission. At least he had to cheer for the team boss who had no choice but to participate in the skills challenge.
It is said that the most boring of all the events during the NBA All-Star Weekend is the Skills Challenge. Even if it is the Shooting Star Competition, you can at least see the starting stars and retired superstars of each team, especially the retired old people, on the court.
When young people fight, it can be considered a bit of a gimmick.
Skills challenge?
Although this game has a high technical content, the high technical content also means a lack of confrontation. In addition, the lack of confrontation and the participants are basically second-tier players and rookies. If this event can be popular, it will be
Weird!
David Stern obviously didn't want to see this happen, so today he personally took action and arranged the most popular All-Star lineup to participate in the skills challenge, LeBron James, Chris Paul, Kobe Bryant
, Dwyane Wade. All four of them are the stars of a team!
The four major stars participated in the Skills Challenge at the same time. This was the first time since the Skills Challenge project was established. Suddenly, it became a gimmick!
In the first round, James took the lead and finished the game in 35.3 seconds; Paul, the shortest among the four, took the lead in 39.6 seconds; Kobe Bryant easily completed all actions in 29.8 seconds; defending champion Wade was the last to appear.
Although there was a missed pass, the time spent ranked behind Kobe, ending in 31.8 seconds. In the end, Kobe and Wade eliminated James and James, who were playing in gold shoes, with smooth and graceful movements.
Wade, the defending champion in the final round, was the first to appear. He changed his leisurely attitude in the first round and attacked quickly. Finally, he completed all the required actions in 26.4 seconds with smooth and accurate movements. Kobe Bryant came out later. Although he started well, maybe Adrien
An's cheering had the opposite effect. He frequently missed the ball when completing the pass, and almost used up all the spare balls before finally passing the ball accurately. At this time, Kobe, who knew that he had missed the championship, couldn't help but smile.
In the end, Kobe's time was 45 seconds, and Wade successfully defended his title.
In the subsequent three-point shooting contest, defending champion Dirk Nowitzki shot 9 points, which was close to the worst record in history, which made people laugh. In the end, Heat guard Jason Kapono won the contest.
champion.
The finale should be the most popular dunk contest. Unfortunately, the lineup for this year's dunk contest is really dim. Except for Dwight Howard, who has a pretty big wrist, there is only one short dunker named Nate Robinson.
Wang is still somewhat well-known, and the remaining two basically don’t follow the NBA, so you would never know whether he is a car repairman or a water pipe repairman. However, the judges’ table is quite star-studded, from “Dr. J” Irving, to Michael
-Jordan to Kobe-Bryant and "demigod" Carter, four dunk champions, four past or present superstars sitting together, it really makes people feel like they are bowing their heads and lamenting that things are different.
The slam dunk contest is far from exciting, and there are almost no moves that can make people shine. Champion Green's dunk over little potato Robinson is just ridiculous.
As for the leaping over the table and dunking with both arms in the finals, it always makes people feel uncomfortable. In this era when great people can leap over a car to dunk, just leaping over a table?
It's a bit too petty.
Since the new century, the slam dunk contest has become more and more boring and a pity to abandon. It is mainly about dunks. The wonderful dunks have almost been performed by predecessors, including Michael Jordan, "Dr. J" Irving, and Human Movie Jing.
Hua, glider... The emergence of "demigod" Carter was more like an accident.
Nowadays, almost none of the NBA's top stars are willing to participate in the slam dunk contest. If they win, there will be nothing to brag about. A slam dunk contest champion is nothing to them. If they can't do a wonderful dunk, they will inevitably be punished.
Ridicule, even if you copy those extremely exciting dunk performances, you will still be in danger of being criticized.
In this case, I might as well not participate.
The league cannot force players to participate in these competitions. After all, according to the rules, these competitions are voluntary. If the players are unwilling to sign up, there is nothing anyone can do. The league may make requirements for the players, but this requirement cannot
It's too much...
Well, anyway, these boring competition events are finally over.
After the game, Adrian took little Jasmine and had a good time. They even went to Caesars Palace to play a few slot machines. He didn't care about winning or losing. Adrian didn't have a gambling addiction and just thought of it as compensation for little Lolita's day today.
