The All-Star Game has always been a carnival feast for big cities and has nothing to do with small cities.

Cities like Los Angeles, New York, Philadelphia, Houston, and Chicago are all in vain, while ordinary cities like Atlanta, Milwaukee, and New Jersey basically have no chance to host All-Stars because the market is not big enough to support an All-Star feast.

As for small towns like Oakland and San Francisco, you can't even dream of hosting an All-Star.

Since the Warriors moved to California, they have never had the chance to play All-Stars. There is no way, they are even more unlucky than Atlanta and Milwaukee because they are too close to Los Angeles. As long as they consider hosting All-Stars at the Warriors' doorstep, they can just move to Los Angeles. Anyway, it's not a two-hour drive away.

However, this time, the All-Stars must be held in Auckland no matter what, because the crowning ceremony of the king must be held in his own dynasty.

On February 15, when the Warriors defeated the Suns who came to challenge at home, Chamberlain clearly stated: "Today's game is a warm-up. For me, the most important game this month is the All-Star Game, and my goal is NVP."

He has been in the league for four seasons. Chamberlain has entered the All-Star three times and has not won the All-Star MP three times. He is not a person with very low EQ. He knows that in the previous All-Star, he was just a supporting role. He just had to grab rebounds and dunk well. If he could get a few more shots, it would be even better. As for MP, then forget it.

This year is different. Chamberlain has won the championship twice. He has won both Mp and PNVP, but only ANVP has not tasted it yet.

In addition, Chamberlain's plan is to get a one-time kill this season: MPANVP, PNVP, he will get it all

But now there are many strong people in the league. As the Bulls' new commander and junior, Ross knows that it is almost impossible to steal a regular season NVP from Chamberlain's head now, so he hopes that he can win some honors, and the opportunity to choose is the All-Star.

So, even if Rose is as restrained as he is, he implicitly stated before this All-Star: "All-Star Mp is a very interesting thing. I think I can give it a try. Maybe I can get it. Don't be too surprised at that time."

Compared to Ross, Kobe was much more open and honest. He said: "I'm sorry that I didn't participate in the All-Star last season, so this time I want to make up for the damage I had to the fans last year. I will try my best to play this game and do my best to play well. As for the standard for measuring whether I work hard, it depends on whether I can win Mp."

Howard also said a few days ago: "I have never won an NVP, so it's fake that I don't want this thing. This is a good opportunity. I will try my best to try it."

The reason why he wanted to give up his harsh words and grab MP is because Howard felt that too many of his things were snatched away by Chamberlain, so he had the chance to steal Chamberlain something this time. How could he not work hard?

If the All-Stars were not in Oakland and Chamberlain was so determined to win, then Howard would have followed the crowd. He was still a childish temper. Now Chamberlain is regarded as his lifelong enemy by him. The most tragic thing is that in the eyes of fans and experts, he is not worthy of being Chamberlain's lifelong enemy. Anyway, he wants to make trouble and make Chamberlain unhappy.

Chamberlain is unhappy, it is my happiness - Howard.

If you think the ANVP battle is over, that's a big mistake. James and Wade also expressed their yearning for this MpR spoon in an interview. The reason is that James said before the season that he and Wade have to make sacrifices for the team's victory. So as long as they are together, they may not get MP in the future, but it is okay to break out occasionally. If any game breaks out, it is naturally the All-Star Game

Therefore, although this All-Star Game was held in the small town of Oakland, it attracted no less attention than in big cities such as Los Angeles and New York. Moreover, because many stars compete for the All-Star MpR spoon, this game has a bit more gunpowder smell and fans have more anticipation.

However, what makes fans feel a little regretful is that Howard announced that he will never participate in the dunk contest again.

"For the Dunk Contest, I will be permanently 'retired,'" Howard made the news in an interview with the media after landing at San Francisco Airport. Taking advantage of the opportunity to wait for the bus, he said, "On the All-Star Weekend, including this season, my name will not appear on the roster of the Dunk Contest."

Howard participated in the Las Vegas slam dunk contest in 207, but he did not advance to the last round. In the subsequent 26-year dunk contest, he unfortunately met Chamberlain, and Chamberlain beat him to win the championship.

The 209 All-Star Weekend was held in Phoenix. Howard gritted his teeth and participated in the All-Star Dunk Contest again. Even more tragic happened. Howard also wanted to play Superman and play Superman's return trick. As a result, "Little Potato" Robinson's wife was superior and actually put on the nemesis shirt that represented Superman's nemesis. Relying on this entertainment, Robinson won the championship and Howard once again ranked second.

The second in three dunk contests in three years, now fans joked Howard as the second dunk. Some reporters thought of this and asked: "Is it because they failed to win the championship in the previous few sessions?"

Among the players in this dunk contest, Griffin is the most popular one. His dunk is known as "matching Chamberlain". In the game that has been in the past half season, Griffin will have several wonderful dunks in every game. The fans gave him the nickname "Gliffen". He once dunked on Xiao Si's head and dunked on Tim Duncan. Even O'Neal's son is a loyal fan of Griffin.

And Griffin is also very determined about this All-Star Dunk Contest. He said before the opening of the new season: "It must be quite cool to participate in the dunk contest. If the league wants me to participate, I will probably go."

After just two months of playing in the league, Griffin's dunk left a deep impression on the NHA. His dunk became the top five goals every day or the top ten goals every week. Even the video website has a collection of Griffin's dunk. He was the champion of the McDonald's dunk contest in 2007. He is a natural dunk maniac.

Howard replied naturally: "No, the All-Stars are here to play, who will take it seriously? If I care about the winner, it is not suitable for the All-Stars. I just don't want to participate in the slam dunk contest anymore, because I am an old bird, and this sport should be left to the rookies."

Before the All-Star Weekend, the stars naturally have to conduct charity activities, and after that, the All-Star Game will be held.

The first game is the rookie challenge.

Among them, the first-year team's lineup is: Blake Griffin, John Wall, Eric Bledsoe, DeMarcus Cousins, Derek Ferworth, Wesley Johnson, Greg JL丨Ro, Gary Neal, and Paul George, who was in the Warriors' success.

In the second-year team, Blair, DeRozan, James Harden, Ty Gibson, Holiday, Wesley Matthews, Evans, and Teague.

Among these players, there are many people who have a good relationship with Chamberlain, and the Warriors have two players - Blair and George, so on the day of the game, Chamberlain arrived early to support the rookie game.

According to the NHAR rules, the head coach of the rookie tournament is the assistant coach of the main competition. Old Nelson is not rich, so his son Nelson Jr. is in charge of the first-year team. Chamberlain followed him to get some fat. He appeared as the assistant coach of Nelson Jr.

Griffin is a reconciliation student, so he stayed in the first grade team. He admired Chamberlain very much and had a good relationship. After entering the court, he chatted with each other with his arms around him.

After that, the second-year team entered the court, and Ty Gibson also came over. He was one of the achievements of the Warriors' championship last season. Unfortunately, in order to get Paul George in the summer, Nelson, the old man, sent him to Los Angeles. Now the dunk frontcourt formed by him and Griffin is also very famous in the league.

However, Gibson is a professional player and understands the rules of the league in shopping malls, and his private relationship is still very good.

Now, Old Nelson is being questioned by the outside world because of this deal. He exchanged two All-Star rookies, Morrow and Gibson for a rookie season, George, who performed very badly in the rookie season. If it weren't for the first grade, George would probably not have been able to enter the All-Star. For this reason, fans are laughing Old Nelson for this.

This is also the reason. When George saw Gibson coming, he touched his nose and practiced three-pointers hard.

This time we met, we were naturally a passionate conversation. Chamberlain asked Gibson to visit his villa after the game. He was having a happy chat when a scream suddenly sounded on the court.

Chamberlain turned his head in shock and saw a man stuck in the ring

"Damn, the program you arranged is really unique." Griffin said in admiration.

The game had not started before, and the players warmed up and cheerleading performances, including a trampoline dunk performance. As a result, a young man sprinted from the backcourt and jumped onto the trampoline into the air. However, after putting the ball into the basket, he actually fell into the basket and passed through the net because of the great momentum.

Chamberlain almost got scared and peed, don't fucking an All-Star game and then kill someone. He was so scared that he rushed up to help pull the young man out of the ring.

The young man was still in the mood to joke with Chamberlain after he landed, saying, "I have to thank you. If the fact that you dunked the rebounds and made the league strengthen the quality of the rebounds again, I might have fallen here today."

Shortly after this episode, the game began. As an assistant coach, Chamberlain did not worry about the so-called tactical arrangements at all. He stood on the sidelines and kept applauding or booing, just like ordinary fans.

The game whistle sounded, and Blair, as the host, was not polite. His hands quickly heated up and scored B points in a row. The second-grade team won 24 firsts.

The fans at the scene were not stingy with their applause, after all, they were their own people. Blair didn't have many opportunities to perform this season because Jamison and his position overlapped, but as long as he played, he would fight diligently, so his results were still dazzling and recognized by experts.

Wall made a series of wonderful passes, Cousins ​​and Favors performed a slam dunk, and the first-year team narrowed the gap to - points. Griffin's all-relay dunk helped the first-year team overtake the score.

Jennings leads the second-grade team to counterattack, Harden succeeds in a slam dunk, and the second-grade team takes the lead again.

Wesley Johnson became the main offensive star of the first-year team. He not only made a good dunk, but also made a long-range shot. He also made two consecutive three-pointers to earn 7 points to lead the first-year team.

DeRozan and Harden led the second-year team to counterattack. DeRozan made a breakthrough and dunk, Harden hit the bull's-eye with a three-pointer, and the second-year team exceeded the first-year team by 1 point.

The first-year team blossomed at multiple points, Wall, Cousins ​​and Monroe scored points one after another, and the first-year team scored 6 points. Matthews made a long-range shot, and the second-year team chased the score to 6 at the end of the first half.

Wall contributed 9 assists in the first half, Wesley Johnson scored 6 points, and Blair scored 14 points.

As the game entered the second half, Griffin gave two aerial dunks, and the first-year team led the lead with a brilliant assist. Wall made a brilliant pass from the ground to pass Griffin bombarded the basket. This exquisite cooperation amazes the whole audience.

The second-year team intends to create opportunities for Blair, who has had a lot of fun in shooting and buckles, but the second-year team is left behind by the first-year team in terms of scores. Griffin and Cousins ​​lead the attack, and the first-year team expands the lead to 9 points.

Harden made the game his dunk performance, with consecutive dunks, helping the second-year team to compress the gap to - points.

Teague led the second-grade team to set off a three-pointer wave, and the second-grade team scored 4 consecutive three-pointers, surpassing the first-grade team-pointers.

Wall made consecutive shots, and his personal assists increased to 18 times in this game, breaking the historical assist record of rookie games.

Wesley Johnson and Fields received Wall's pass and made three-pointers one after another, and the first-year team came from behind. Wall assisted non-stop, and the first-year team made rapid progress, widening the gap to B points.

The second-year team had a Jedi counterattack, and Harden made a three-pointer, which gave the second-year team hopes for a comeback, but Cousins ​​made a second offensive dunk, and the first-year team led by 7 points in 3.B seconds before the end of the second half.
