Chapter 1084 Masters Game: Marriott beats Chris Wu
As the NBA has successively announced the roster for this year's Portland All-Star Game as well as the players and judges participating in the slam dunk contest, the NBA has completely entered the atmosphere of the All-Star Weekend.
This year’s Portland All-Star Weekend is from February 19th to 21st. The All-Star Celebrity Game and Rookie Challenge will be held on the 19th, and the Skills Challenge, Three-Point Contest, and Slam Dunk Contest will be held on the 20th.
The race is on the last day.
There are quite a few Blazers players participating in the All-Star Weekend this time.
For example, perhaps inspired by Wang Zelin, Lillard signed up to participate in the Skills Challenge on a whim.
As a rookie, Lillard won the 2013 All-Star Skills Challenge championship in 29.8 seconds in the 2012-13 season, which can be said to be the peak of his debut...
Ahem, this is the Single Finger Skills Challenge.
Although Lillard also participated in the next two years, he always had no choice but to miss the championship due to various relationships, so he did not participate again last season.
Obviously, he came to avenge his shame by participating in the skills challenge this time.
Harrell, Zubac, and McCaw participated in the Rookie Challenge.
Harrell is a second-year player, while Zubac and McCaw are first-year players.
Considering this year's competition format, it is still the United States Team VS World Team. The second-year Harrell is on the same team as McCaw, and Zubac is on the other team.
If you think about it from another perspective, no matter whether the American team wins or the world team wins this year's rookie competition, the Trail Blazers will be the final winner.
On the 19th, the All-Star Celebrity Game will be held first.
At the fan carnival on Friday, there were really a lot of Chinese elements on site.
Then it happened that two more Chinese stars were participating in the All-Star Celebrity Game.
It is also worth mentioning that the things these two brothers will do in the future can be said to be better than the other.
One is Jiang Wanhao, a well-known domestic actor and model who debuted as a sports student who was selected for the first time. This guy later retired from the entertainment industry due to a domestic violence scandal.
It belongs to another person, and this is actually the second time he has participated.
Terala made his first appearance in the Masters Game during last year's All-Star Game and was selected again this year.
who?
He is Chris Wu, the famous signing in the future.
Last year, Chris Wu scored 6 points and 7 rebounds in the Masters Game. His outstanding performance made him re-elected this year and represented the Eastern Masters Team.
As the second Chinese star in the NBA All-Star Game, Jiang Wanhao has very good physical fitness.
If you look at the videos that Wang Zelin saw on Xiaopo.com in his previous life, you can see that he is indeed a man with "Wan Hao" in his name, and he does have two brushes.
Ignoring professional players, just from an amateur perspective, Jiang Wanhao's basketball skills can definitely be regarded as an amateur master. With a height of 1.81 meters, he can easily complete various chops and dunks, which shows his physical fitness.
Later, after quitting the industry due to the scandal, he actively participated in the fitness circle, and it was not the kind of posing with a mobile phone, but real combat power. Judging from many videos, Jiang Wanhao's fitness level should have touched the amateur ceiling.
This time, he played on behalf of the Western Celebrity Team.
Out of curiosity about the two brothers, Wang Zelin took time to show up at the scene this afternoon.
As soon as he appeared, the audience was shocked. Jiang Wanhao, who was warming up, heard the cheers from the audience and was a little curious at first.
Immediately afterwards, when the cheers and shouts of MVP came to his ears, he immediately looked surprised... It was a hot man coming.
Nonsense, in this land of Portland, besides Wang Zelin, who else deserves to be cheered as MVP.
Even if Jordan in his heyday comes to Portland, the MVP candidate in the hearts of fans in this city will not change.
Jiang Wanhao hurriedly turned his head and looked: "Damn it! What a king!"
What made him even more unexpected was that Wang Zelin actually walked directly towards him and took the initiative to say hello: "Hello, I am Wang Zelin."
"Hello, Your Majesty, my name is Jiang Wanhao."
When Wang Zelin approached, Jiang Wanhao immediately felt the pressure of the number one player in the domestic sports world and hesitantly replied.
After all, Jiang Wanhao was a sports student who specialized in track and field when he was a student, and he often participated in basketball. There was an interview with him. If he had not been injured when he was 17 years old, what would he most want to do in the future?
Marriott's answer is to play professional basketball.
And judging from his athletic conditions, it doesn't mean that there is absolutely no hope in playing these basketballs.
Unfortunately, he encountered an injury that every athlete least wants to encounter in his life.
Marriott's sports career has come to an end!
And now standing in front of him is Wang Zelin, who represents the top of the domestic sports world. How can he not be excited?
On the other side of the half court, Chris Wu, who was warming up for shooting, saw this scene and his eyes immediately turned evil.
Last year's NBA All-Star Weekend was held in Toronto, Canada. Chris Wu, a Canadian, worked hard and successfully managed to get a spot in the All-Star Celebrity Game.
At that time, Wang Zelin also appeared at the scene to watch the game. At first, Chris Wu thought that Wang Zelin was here to cheer him up, so he happily came to the sidelines to say hello.
What he didn't expect was that Wang Zelin's attitude was extremely cold and he didn't even pay attention to him.
This made Chris Wu extremely angry at the time, but when he thought about the gap in status between the two, he could only grit his teeth and swallow it.
So far, there is another King Hei in this world.
Sometimes, the most frustrating thing is comparing.
Thinking that last year he had a hot face but a cold butt, but Jiang Wanhao actually got Wang Zelin's proactive overtures, which made Chris Wu feel even more unhappy.
He decided to wait until the game later to make Jiang Wanhao look good.
…
At the same time that Chris Wu was talking about lemons, Wang Zelin and Jiang Wanhao had already started hooking up, chatting all the time.
The height difference between the two made this scene look quite weird and a bit funny, but at this time Jiang Wanhao had long forgotten this. Even when he walked, his feet felt light and airy, as if he was stepping on clouds.
I never expected that the NBA All-Star trip would have such an unexpected bonus, and I would actually get to know Wang Zelin.
Although they just changed from acquaintances to ordinary friends now, this has already made Jiang Wanhao very satisfied.
But he didn't expect that his new friend, who was the number one in the domestic sports world, seemed to be a chatty person, and he liked to chat about all kinds of things.
After a while, they chatted with him about the teachers who had a good life in Xiaori, and then asked him to remember not to find a girlfriend in Xiaori in the future.
While chatting, I suddenly asked him if he could dunk in actual combat?
When he replied "yes", Wang Zelin changed his voice and asked him to find an opportunity to dunk on Chris Wu during the game.
Although he was a little surprised, when he thought about some of the gossip about Chris Wu in the industry, Jiang Wanhao was immediately filled with contempt for him.
Men like to play, but that’s okay?
Especially after you have money, you can't help but gallop whenever you get the chance.
But you are still playing for fun, at least you should have some principles, even if you are a minor...
Therefore, Jiang Wanhao quickly agreed to the matter.
…
At 15:00 sharp, the 2017 All-Star Masters Game officially started.
In addition to Chris Wu, the other participants of the Eastern Star Team are as follows:
Actor Nick Cannon, former NBA player Brandon Armstrong, NBA2K beauty anchor Rachel, actor Ansel Elgort, actor Caleb McLaughlin, media personality Pete Rosenberg, WNBA
Player Lindsay Whalen, Bucks owner Mark Lashley, rock singer Win Butler, who won the MVP of the last NBA Masters Game, Olympic scoring champion and Hall of Fame member Oscar Schmidt and former NBA players.
White Chocolate” Jason Williams.
On the Western Stars team, in addition to Jiang Jinfu, there are also: actor Miles Brown, actor Tom Gavanagh, Mavericks owner Mark Cuban, former NBA player Baron Davis, actor Anthony Mackie
, WNBA player Candace Parker, singer Andy, actor Romeo Miller, singer Jewell, actor Bob Seth and sports personality Aaron Sanchez.
As for the head coaches of both sides, according to usual practice, one player from each of this year's Eastern and Western All-Star reserves will be sent to serve.
The head coach of the Eastern Star Team is Raptors player Kyle Lowry, while the Western Conference Star Team is coached by Warriors player Draymond Green.
Amid everyone's expectations, the game officially started.
I am used to watching high-level competitions between various birds and beasts in the NBA. It is quite interesting to change my taste occasionally and watch this kind of competition similar to the level of community basketball.
As a fan, Wang Zelin watched it with gusto.
Especially when Rachel Demita, who is known as the goddess in the NBA female anchor world, appeared on the stage, Wang Zelin successfully saw the true meaning of basketball in her.
Should I say it or not, today’s basketball is really white, bah, it’s really big!
Time flies when you look at beautiful women.
At the end of the first quarter, the Eastern Stars seized the opportunity in the last minute. Butler and White Chocolate each scored 4 points. They led the team to end the first quarter with a 10:2 attack wave. The Eastern Stars scored 20:2.
12 leads by 8 points.
The performance of the Western Conference team was a little eye-catching, which made Green, who was the head coach for the first time, a little dissatisfied, but when he thought about this group of people, they were all celebrities from all walks of life, and this was originally an entertainment event for the fans to watch.
Thinking of this, his attitude became a little perfunctory, and he then made substitutions step by step, fully implementing the principle of "paddling when it's time to pad".
In the middle of the second quarter, Chris Wu and Jiang Wanhao got the opportunity to appear together. Wang Zelin was shocked and quickly shifted his attention from singer Andy's pair of car lights to Jiang Wanhao.
What a coincidence, before Jiang Wanhao came on the stage, he specifically turned to look at Wang Zelin's seat, and just looked at each other from a distance.
Good brother, it’s up to you!
Look, I won't let you down.
Although there was no conversation between the two, when their eyes met each other, everything was unspoken.
Needless to say, those who practice sports are professionals... at least they are much more professional than most of the players on the field.
After coming on the court, Jiang Wanhao mainly played point guard. His dribbling was not flashy, but very practical.
Just after halftime, Chris Wu took the initiative to switch defense. After his teammates saw it, they decisively opened up the space.
These are the only two Chinese players in this Masters. They are here, so naturally we have to give them space to express themselves.
The players from the East and West were very considerate, and just stood outside with their hands on their hips, watching the two of them duel one on one at the top of the arc.
It was said to be a one-on-one fight, but in reality it was Chris Wu who was beaten unilaterally by Marriott who punched hard.
Looking at the opponent's defense that was full of loopholes, Jiang Wanhao started his own performance, dribbling under his hips to catch the feint, and easily unlocked the ankle terminator achievement, knocking Chris Wu directly to the ground.
Then he broke in from the left, faced the empty basket, took one step, two steps, three steps behind the free throw line...he took off near the frame and dunked with one hand.
"nice shot!"
The moment Chris Wu was knocked down, Wang Zelin had already stood up from his seat. When Jiang Wanhao successfully broke through and dunked, he immediately shouted towards the court.
Although the fans couldn't understand how such an ordinary dunk caused Wang Zelin to react so violently, since the host country has set an example, the surrounding spectators will naturally follow suit.
The next moment, the 20,000 spectators in the Rose Garden Arena stood up and applauded wildly for Jiang Marriott's moment.
At this scene, Jiang Wanhao's adrenaline surged instantly on the court, and he looked at Chris Wu as if he wanted to eat him alive.

Unfortunately, Jiang Wanhao failed to fulfill Wang Zelin's instructions before the game to dunk Chris Wu. After all, their status in North America is really not that good, and their popularity is almost zero, so the whole game was also
I fought for three to five minutes and then went down.
However, Wang Zelin was very surprised that Jiang Wanhao and Jiang Wanhao were able to contribute an ankle finisher and a breakthrough dunk after coming on the court.
Therefore, he invited Jiang Wanhao to his manor after the game and gave him a good massage.
In the evening, the Rookie Challenge is about to begin.
Although the rookie game is just an appetizer at best, in this kind of game, these relatively young boys tend to play more natural, simple, passionate and pure basketball.
This rookie game is no exception. Players from both teams have fully demonstrated their strengths.
World Team: Dante Exum, Buddy Hield, Zubac, Porzingis, Dario Saric.
As the team leader and host, Wang Zelin naturally attended the scene today as he did in previous games, cheering for the three younger brothers on the field.
But this time he only stayed for a while and then asked Lillard to leave together.
Now that he has agreed to participate in the slam dunk contest, Wang Zelin naturally has to actively prepare for the competition with a 200% attitude and must not be perfunctory.
Emmm, this is definitely not because he feels pressure from the addition of LaVine and Gordon.
Ahem, let’s get down to business.
Wang Zelin's participation in the slam dunk contest this time was not purely a whim, but he wanted to reverse the stereotype of yellow players among basketball fans around the world.
Never mind that Wang Zelin has been the player with the most dunks in the league every year since his rookie season, and he definitely deserves to be the true dunk king!
But even so, people only marveled at his various actual dunks for a short time and then quickly forgot about them.
Therefore, he chose to participate in this year's slam dunk contest, hoping to use this world-famous show to vindicate himself and at the same time rectify the names of countless yellow players.
Lillard was called because he had prepared a finishing move that required cooperation with Lillard to complete.
