Chapter 144

The five players were selected into the All-Star lineup, which also made the Grizzlies one of the most star-studded teams in the entire NBA history, and even just removed one of the restrictions. After all, no other team in history can have five All-Star players in the same season.

Jiang Dongbing once again successfully entered everyone's vision. The whole world suddenly discovered that all the star players in Jiang Dongbing's hands were trained by Jiang Dongbing alone, and none of them were all-stars introduced from other teams.

Like Xiao Ao, David or Billups, although Jiang Dongbing was introduced from other teams, they were definitely not at the All-Star level at that time. Even these three people were all known as parallels. Being able to achieve such achievements under Jiang Dongbing is enough to prove Jiang Dongbing's greatness.

With strong coaching ability, extremely young, and a ability to select people that shocks the world, in the eyes of some fans, Jiang Dongbing may have been the most successful and outstanding head coach in the entire NBA history.

You should know that Jiang Dongbing is still so young now. In another ten or eight years, how many All-Stars can he train? How many championships can he lead the team to win? Anyway, the number must be extremely terrifying.

So it doesn’t seem to be an exaggeration to call Jiang Dongbing the greatest head coach in history in advance.

In addition to the All-Star Game, there are many players on the Grizzlies who participated in other events. Jackson was invited to participate in the dunk contest, while Peja participated in the three-point contest.

As for the rookie challenge, the Grizzlies have joined the team for three rookies this year, namely Artest, Ginobili and Kirilianko. Kirilianko has gone to participate in the main competition, so naturally they will not participate in the rookie match again, so only Artest and Ginobili have participated in the rookie challenge.

Jiang Dongbing was looking forward to it. So many players could bring back some trophys when they went to the competition.

On February 15, the annual All-Star Weekend officially started, with the Celebrity Competition and Rookie Challenge Competition on the same day.

Jiang Dongbing has no interest in these two games. The celebrity match is basically funny, which is for those fans who chase stars. Jiang Dongbing does not chase stars, so how could he be interested in such a game?

As for the rookie challenge, the viewing rate is definitely much higher than that of the celebrity matches. There are many stars who will influence the league in the future, but Jiang Dongbing is still not interested. With a bunch of new melon seeds, Jiang Dongbing feels that it is better to watch a soap opera than to enjoy it.

Due to the suspension in 1999, there was no All-Star Weekend. The rookie matches before 1998 were adopted? The east-west match system was adopted? That is, the match system between the Eastern Newcomers vs. the Western Newcomers.

As a result, after three years of playing, the Eastern Army won all of them? The rookie match that no one had watched was less attention? This year, the league simply changed its tricks and set up a second-grade match against first-grade match.

According to this competition system? In fact, David and Jackson are also second-year students. If they didn’t play in the main competition, they might also participate in this rookie competition.

Fortunately, these two people did not participate in the competition? If they participated, there would be no suspense in this competition. If the two teamed up, they would definitely be able to smash the first-grade rookie.

In the end, the rookie team won the second-year team, which made me lose a bad spot? Rookie No. 1 pick Brand won the rookie MVP with 22 points and 21 rebounds.

Although Artest and Ginobili did not get the MVP? However, the performance of this offense and one defense backcourt combination is also extremely eye-catching. The reason why the rookie team can beat the second-year team is that in addition to Brand's dominance at the basket, these two people have also made great contributions.

Especially Artest, Larry Hughes, who was directly defending against, collapsed?    There was no sense of existence in the whole game.

Although Artest is not as popular as Jackson now, anyone with a discerning eye can see the potential of this rookie?                                                                                                                 

In the Grizzlies' game? Artest even once staged a wonderful scene of a player who was fighting with his opponent's No. 4 position. His strong physical fitness left a deep impression on people.

On the first day of the All-Star Weekend, the Grizzlies won no trophy and did not win any trophy.

On February 16, the second day of the All-Star Weekend, two major miscellaneous competitions will be staged today, namely the dunk contest and the three-point contest. A skill challenge contest will be added in the future. However, this is also the future of 2003, and there are only two miscellaneous competitions now.

Jiang Dongbing appeared directly at the scene of the slam dunk contest. This 2000 slam dunk contest is known as the most classic slam dunk contest in history, so Jiang Dongbing naturally didn't want to miss it.

However, Jiang Dongbing believes that the most classic statement is not so accurate. This thing is completely different from one's own opinion. Perhaps some people think that Jordan and Glider Drexler's 1987 dunk contest is more classic.

Carter, McGrady, Francis, Ricky Davis and Jackson, a total of five young talents have been qualified to participate in this year's dunk contest. Just looking at this list, you can tell that this year's dunk contest is not simple.

In previous dunk competitions, there were inevitably some less well-known players, but all the five players participating this year were quite well-known.

Even Ricky Davis, among them, is gradually becoming the leader in the Clippers. He averaged 19 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists per game, making Clippers boss Sterling want to send a banner to Jiang Dongbing.

Carter and McGrady are the bosses of the Raptors and the second bosses, Jackson is the bosses of the Grizzlies, and Francis is now trained by the Rockets as the bosses.

Such a lineup of slam dunk competition is extremely rare, and you don’t have to look at the performance of the participating players. This lineup alone is enough to make fans hotly discuss it.

At the game, countless fans came, crowded the stadium to witness the birth of the new dunk king.

The All-Star Weekend was suspended for a year, but the dunk contest has not been held for two consecutive years. Before, there were no high-level dunk players, which led to the increasing attention of this event.

Two years later, NBA started the dunk contest again. It may be that it was only because of losing it. The fans were quite supportive this time. After the players entered the court, screams and applause rang out like thunder.

Jiang Dongbing sat in the audience and cheered Jackson.

However, Jiang Dongbing also knew very well that in front of a super dunk player of a historical level like Carter, Jackson's dunk level is really unpredictable. Anyway, he must have no hope of winning the honor of the dunk king.

At the beginning, Jackson was the first to play and directly gave a powerful tomahawk-style buckle. The strength and height were enough, but there was no surprise and novelty, so the referee on the sidelines gave not very high scores, and the highest one was only 45 points...

Next, other players appeared one after another. Due to their height, it was difficult for Francis to make shocking moves. Although the dunk was very difficult, the viewing level was not high enough, so the score was only average.

Next, Ricky Davis' dunk performed quite averagely and got a score of not as good as Jackson.

Jiang Dongbing cheered up and Carter's dunk next. The reason why this dunk contest became a classic is Carter.

As soon as he came up, just for the first move, Carter directly came a super windmill with a 360-degree rotation in the air. This dunk directly detonated the whole audience and won everyone's applause.

With superhuman's ability to stagnate the air, and perfectly make this extremely difficult dunk, all referees gave a full score of 50.

Jiang Dongbing smacked his lips and was able to witness the birth of such a historical dunk with his own eyes. This All-Star weekend is definitely worth it.

When Carter used such a dunk, there was no suspense in this dunk contest. Even if McGrady's performance was outstanding next time, he was still not as dazzling as Carter.

After Carter successfully entered the finals, he defeated his opponent with all his full marks and won the championship of this dunk contest, becoming an eternal classic.

Jackson failed to enter the finals, and after the game, he laughed and chatted with Jiang Dongbing for a few words.

Although he didn't perform well, Jackson was in a good mood. He also knew that these miscellaneous events were just for entertainment, just have to have fun.

Now that he can witness Carter's magical dunk with his own eyes, Jackson also feels that he is not losing money at all in the competition.

In fact, not many players will have their mood affected by losing the slam dunk contest. The dunk itself cannot prove a player's strength.

A magical 360-degree spinning dunk in the air, like Carter, can't use it in the middle of the game? Even if one person takes a fast attack, without anyone defending, Carter will definitely not be able to use such a very difficult dunk. As the end of the day, it's just a little fun job to change hands.

If the ability to dunk is equal to actual combat ability, then the three-time dunk king Nate Robinson who will be born in the future must be at the level of a team leader even if he is not the top fifty superstar.

But in fact, Nate Robinson has always been a role player and has never changed.

As far as this dunk contest is concerned, even if Carter beats Jackson in the dunk contest, there will definitely be no one saying that Carter's strength is better than Jackson. After all, Jackson is a serious rookie regular season MVP. The one who can leave a name in NBA history books is not comparable to Carter now.

...

After the slam dunk contest ended and the three-point competition began, the lineup was much worse than the slam dunk contest, which could be clearly felt from the cheers of the fans on the scene.

In the end, the Grizzlies' player Peja Stojakovic failed to get the three-pointer, and the championship was struggled to get the game by Jazz veteran Hornersek.

Interestingly, Horacek also set a record this year, that is, the champion with the least scored points in the three-point final.

In the three-point final, Horacek only scored 13 points in total, directly breaking the 16-point record that he had originally maintained.

Thinking about the player Hornersek, his luck is really great. He is so beautiful that he married his wife and gave birth to a daughter. Even participating in a three-point competition, he is lucky. Once he reaches the final, no matter how bad his accuracy is, his opponent can always perform worse than him.

However, Horacek's winning of the championship is actually considered a popular expectation. After all, among all the players participating, if you really want to talk about the three-point strength, Horacek's strength is undoubtedly the strongest.

Hornersek's three-pointer is the kind of person who is getting more and more demonic as he gets older. In the first few years of his career, it may be because the league did not pay attention to three-pointers at that time, so his shooting percentage is not high. The further he went on, especially after joining the Jazz, the veteran's three-pointer was so accurate that it was a mess.

Currently, Horacek's three-point shooting percentage is as high as 48%, which is extremely amazing.

Peja's three-pointers are actually not bad. Jiang Dongbing remembers that Peja has won the three-point competition championship for two consecutive years, but that is also a future thing. Peja still has a long way to go now.

...

There have been three consecutive events where Grizzlies players participated, but the Grizzlies players still didn’t get a trophy. This made Jiang Dongbing wonder, could any Grizzlies players win the All-Star MVP?

Jiang Dongbing thought about it carefully and found that this matter was really possible. Of course, the premise was that he and his players were both dark-skinned enough, and the players were also lucky enough.

According to the rules of the NBA All-Star Game, the coaches of both sides are the head coaches of the team with the best record in the East and West.

There is naturally Jiang Dongbing in the west, and the Pacers head coach Larry Bird leads the team in the east.

The Grizzlies have five players who can play, and in addition, Jiang Dongbing is the head coach of the team. As long as Jiang Dongbing is thick-skinned, let his players play more, and the players work together to help a player brush data, in the end, as long as the West wins the game, the All-Star MVP will be obtained.

Many coaches don’t care much about the All-Star MVP, and Jiang Dongbing is definitely an exception.

In his opinion, this All-Star MVP is completely the winner of the fight between gods. Although it has little impact on the players' historical status, it is still an MVP. If a player doesn't get all three MVPs, can he be called a historical super giant?

After thinking about it, Jiang Dongbing felt that he would be a little thick-skinned this time and sacrificed himself to fulfill his players.

It is best to let Jackson get this MVP. Now Jackson has the MVP in the regular season. If he gets this All-Star MVP, he will get another MVP in the finals this year, and his career will be completely complete...

Of course, it depends on Jackson's luck. If Jiang Dongbing had to do it all night, he wouldn't be able to help.

Nowadays, there is still competition in the All-Star Game. Although it is not as fierce as the playoffs, it is not much different from the regular season. It is not the same as the All-Star Game in later generations who are both sides playing airs against the points.

If Jackson is in poor condition and cannot flash data, Jiang Dongbing may turn this opportunity to someone else's head, maybe it's Billups or David.
