Slowly, the huge American Airlines Center Arena fell into silence, and Shirley's clear and soft voice was transmitted to every corner of the Arena through high-quality audio. On the large screen above the Arena, Shirley's delicate pretty face had a quiet smile, as if she was an elf walking into a dream from the moon, but it disturbed the dream without a trace.

"...Don't abandon them in my hometown and in my motherland. They use their blood to clear their dirty footprints. These slaves and mercenaries have no place to hide and cannot escape the fate of failure and death. But the star-striped flags will fly forever, in this free country, the hometown of warriors. The jade is broken or the tiles are in full, and before us, the free people will rise up to defend the national flag and show their own appearance, and victory and peace are in sight; build a country, protect your hometown, and thank God for the power of the world..."

The lyrics of "Stars and Stripes" flow out one by one. If it were the past, fans would have followed the music and sang loudly, but this time it was different from the past. The fans stared at Shirley in the halo, and no one shouted except for the occasional murmur.

"I really have to thank God for letting us feel His power." Stern whispered

At this moment, the old lawyer, who has always been known for his calmness and rationality, couldn't help but remember the unsuccessful secret love when he was ten years old. At that time, he was a Jewish boy and had a crush on a sister next door. It was a love affair that was destined to have no result. Later, as time passed, Stern locked the relationship deep in his heart. He thought he had forgotten it, but it was finally released. The longing never disappeared, but became deeper with time.

Stu Jackson, who presided over all this, couldn't help but sigh: "If this girl was not singing the national anthem, but singing the love song, what kind of scene would it happen?"

Although "The Stars and Stripes Never Fall" is not considered magnificent, it is definitely passionate. Shirley sang it in her soft voice, but the fans found that there was no inconsistency. Instead, because of the breeze like early summer, they had a unique feeling.

At the end of the song, a sweet and simple smile appeared on Shirley's pretty face. She gently pulled the hem of her skirt and folded her legs slightly together to perform a curtsey. Then the small stage turned again, and her figure slowly disappeared into the middle of the stage.

The dazed fans seemed to wake up from their dreams, and the louder sounds were heard than the opening dances of Chamberlain and O'Neal: "Don't go, keep singing and keep singing"

Listening to the voice that was sweeping across the stadium like a tornado, Chamberlain, standing off the court, looked at Kenel Grands beside him, and he said calmly: "Sir, did you see it? That's Shirley, that's the girl you once sold to a damn Indian for a bottle of wine. Do you understand? You almost ruined a paradise."

Kenel was still staring at the center of the stage. Even though there was no sign of Shirley there, he still looked straight at the stage, as if his daughter's smiled sweetly and sweet face was still smiling there.

Suddenly, Kenel squatted on the ground and cried with his head. He finally understood what he had missed.

All the lights flashed at the same time, and the American Airlines Center returned to its bright lights, but the fans were not satisfied. They stood in their seats and screamed and roared, unanimously asking Shirley to come out and sing another song.

Taylor's face showed a satisfied smile on her face in the backstage. She hugged Shirley and smiled, "Baby, I'm right? You only need one chance, and then you can make a hit. I originally wanted to bring you out, but obviously even God underestimated your charm. Let's stay in the backstage, otherwise I'm afraid that the fans will riot if I take you to the stadium."

"Even if there is no riot, it will definitely be the mainstay. The stars will feel bad now. I bet." Stu Jackson walked up with big strides, and he handed a signing pen and a notebook to Shirley.

Shirley was shocked and at a loss with the notebook and pen. Jackson smiled and said, "Please sign me, otherwise I will never have the chance to get close to Shirley, the queen, in the future."

Sherry was a little shy when she was praised by Jackson. She smiled shyly and said softly: "Mr. Jackson, you have been awarded too much. I am just me, a middle school student. However, I still hope to play, the game I want to watch."

The game has not started yet, and the stars are just preparing to warm up.

The West is the world of Giants. Yao Ming, O'Neal, Chamberlain, Duncan, Nowitzki, Gasol, and Sir. They have almost no orthodox small forwards. The forward lineup is full of power forwards, while the East is just the opposite. Except for Howard and Garnett, others can also be called Giants? Their substitute center is Bosh's parallel insider.

However, in this way, Eastern stars have attracted more attention, because the All-Stars are not actually a game but a comedy movie. There is no doubt that from a historical perspective, the giants who can truly dominate the game have always been the lame actors in this movie. Counting history, NHA and AHA have been merged for 3 years, and only two centers have won the Star Game MP

According to traditional basketball, center is the most important position in basketball. Of course, if your team has Jordan James Roberts Bird Johnsons, it is a different matter. Even these people need the help of Langley, Chief Parish and Tiangou Jiabal. However, in the All-Star Game, center is definitely the least popular role for two reasons:

First, All-Stars is a stage play, and the players are all actors. Letting you play on the stage is not to fight with real swords and guns, but to find ways to act. Iverson and Kobe are handsome and have acting skills. In Hollywood, people like them usually play princes, rich and handsome, and what about centers with big and round waists? Go back and play your street hooligans or terrorists. Second, the center's performance depends on the passing of teammates, and the offensive methods are mostly hookers, simple mid-range dunks, etc. Compared with the various extreme actions that the guard forwards can make, they obviously cannot attract Film.

In the NH's All-Star history over the years, only two centers have won All-Star MPs, one is Shark O'Neal and the other is Ralph Sampson. Even the others, such as Jabbar, Olajuwon, Ewing, Robertson, Mooning, etc., can only serve as backgrounds for Jordan and Johnson. As for vote king Yao Ming, defensive master Mutom Bo Big Ben, etc., it's better not to mention these people. For them, the All-Stars focus on participating, let alone whether they can participate.

A group of big-name stars gathered to warm up, and popularity is very important at this time. For example, a birdman with a weird personality like Kobe doesn't even pay attention to him. He can only find trouble and lick his face and chat. Otherwise, everyone else is chatting happily, and you are alone practicing football silently. How embarrassing is it? Don't mention Duncan, that guy won't even speak even if his wife comes.

Chamberlain is not very popular in NHAR. He likes to cause trouble and is too disrespectful to the old seniors. He always wants to score 320 in the matchup. Who can stand it? However, he has many teammates, Iverson and Billups are all around him. In addition, Yao Ming occasionally puts together a few words, and O'Neal even looks like he's meeting him too late.

Yi Jianlian is the most unlucky. The East is almost going to isolate him, and his teammate Harris is even more a cheater. He would have been holding Garnett and James's thighs and licking him. If he didn't step on Yi Jianlian's feet, he had already proved that he was still loyal.

Yi Jianlian's life is like the middle of the year, the game finally began, and both sides started to fight.

Yao Ming, Chamberlain, Duncan, Kobe, Iverson, if Iverson were not Iverson, the altitude would be enough in the west. On the contrary, Howard, James, Yi Jianlian, Wade, and Joe Johnson, the highest among these people can only rank fourth in the west.

"Who will jump the ball?" James asked deliberately, mocking Chamberlain for signing up for the forward position even though he was clearly a center forward. Now, Chamberlain is really not bad at all except this.

Yao Ming stood up without hesitation. Howard rubbed his hands. When he jumped the ball, he bullied Yao Ming as fast as he was not as fast as he did. He slapped the ball to Wade.

Wade deserves the name of the Flash. When he saw that the altitude of the West was so high, he immediately launched a fast attack. He also made a three-pointer without saying a word when he arrived in the frontcourt.

The basketball went through a curve in the air and went in. Wade turned around and raised his arms proudly and looked pretentious. Chamberlain kindly reminded him: "It's raining and snowing heavily recently. Dwyane, it's better to show off less."

After all, he is an All-Star, and the atmosphere on the scene is quite good. Wade's move is extremely beautiful. Although he is a lone wolf, no one will blame him. Look at what his inside teammates are. Will Howard attack? Is Yi Jianlian an inside? He can't count on the inside at all, so he should play on the outside at his own.

A group of bigwigs in the West, Kobe and Iverson said with a reluctance: "Allen, you are the point guard and you can control the ball."

Iverson smiled and said, "Why are you so embarrassed? Are you studying triangular tactics now? Your commanding talent is excellent... Damn, come back and give me the ball. I am the fucking point guard, you are the center."

When Chamberlain saw that Kobe and Iverson were pushing each other, he kept pushing the ball. Without saying a word, he wanted to pass the ball from Duncan and ran to the frontcourt by himself.

This scene made the fans very excited. A loud whistle sounded at the scene, and many people shouted: "8pE-one-stop"

When James saw Chamberlain's possession of the ball, he smirked and waited for the opponent to pass half. He immediately slipped up from behind to steal. As a result, Chamberlain was prepared. When James appeared behind him, he immediately changed direction. After the ball was on his right hand, he turned around and carried James into the three-point line.

Duncan was in the penalty area, and Chamberlain scored a glance and passed the ball in. Duncan had no desire to perform. Facing Howard's quite slack defense, he didn't say anything, and turned over and made a mid-range shot, but ended up making a blacksmith.

Howard took the rebound and threw it to Wade, who was still running towards the front court with a fast break. Chamberlain quickly chased after him, and opened his mouth and shouted: "Man, if I am there, you don't want to score."

Wade held the ball and raised his hand from outside the three-point line and wanted to shoot from a long shot. Chamberlain subconsciously went up to block the block. As a result, Wade made a fake move. He passed the ball to James, who was on the left wing. The young emperor got the ball and rushed to the basket. Kobe's defense was useless - in fact, he was not defense, he just stretched out weakly.

James jumped three feet high, and waved his arms and dunked a big windmill.

Iverson said lazily: "No matter how good you dunk, it's useless. There are two dunk kings here."

Kobe once won the lowest level dunk in history with a sub-bounce-level dunk with insufficient bounce height. He was embarrassed to mention this. It was really frustrating. Chamberlain's dunk king at least has double dunks, three consecutive dunks and other fig leafs, and he was shirtless.

Duncan serves again, but Shifo, who has always been rigid, doesn't know whether he is enlightened or has bad intentions towards Chamberlain. He didn't give the ball to Iverson or Kobe but to Chamberlain.

Kobe and Iverson's two ball-dominated ball-dominated balls, and they didn't need the Eastern Conference star team to take action to grab the ball from Chamberlain.
