Mo Mengchen is not interested in exploring Kobe's thoughts. Recently, the Lakers have been in a big fight over the dispute between him and O'Neal.

There was a problem within the Lakers, giving the Pistons a chance to come from behind. Now the Pistons have firmly ranked first in the league. If they are not as self-destructive as the Lakers, nor do they lose games that should not have lost as they did at the beginning of the season, they can completely maintain this ranking until the end of the season.

This is easier said than done. The schedule after the All-Star Weekend is not easy for the Pistons. On the one hand, they have to deal with the sprints of other teams, and on the other hand, they have to experiment with Princeton, which is specially prepared for the Lakers.

To achieve this goal, it is difficult to take into account both the results.

After a night passed, these millionaires would not care whether the lions were stronger or the tigers were stronger.

The next night, the first game to be held is the Rookie Challenge, which consists of a first-year vs. a second-year.

Mo Mengchen came to the scene in person, just wanting to see what Ginobili's current strength is among his peers.

In terms of the quality of players, the second grade is far better than the first grade.

The 99th class has produced a future All-Star lineup such as Brand, Francis, Richard Hamilton, Szebiak and Marion; the only ones who can make it out in the 00th class are two, No. 1 pick Kenyon Martin and repeater Jonathan Bend.

Bend's rookie season was not able to play due to knee surgery, so this season was his first season, and he also represented the first year.

Originally, Mo Mengchen came for Ginobili, but Bend's performance was shocking.

When he was in the regular season, he didn't think that he had so many talents. Perhaps because his opponent was not strong enough, he used all the moves he had put in the bottom of the box.

In the first quarter, Bend made a three-pointer two meters away from the three-point line after the pick-and-roll.

Bill Walton shouted: "Is this the center?"

In the second quarter, Bend scored consecutive rebounds at the basket, humiliating the No. 1 pick of the same class. Now, the All-Star inside Elton Brand, who is now stable at 200, made a second offense.

Walton nodded with satisfaction: "This is the center."

Then, a goal in the third quarter made the audience incredible.

The first grade tactics were killed, and Bend got the ball outside the three-point line on the left side. The second grade adopted an external expansion defense, and the space inside the three-point line was as wide as the small ball era twenty years later.

The opportunity was rare. He began to show off his amazing skills, and he changed directions continuously, shook Marion, who was defending him. His agile skills shocked the whole audience. When Walton watched him jump into the basket and slammed the basket with his hands, Shanren shouted again: "This is the center!"

Being able to make three points, dribble like a defender, with agility and frequent tricks, Bend is indeed very distinctive to this era.

He is like an inside player in the small ball era.

Mo Mengchen once again felt that he had done something stupid. He rescued a genius who should have been destroyed by injuries. The genius who should have fallen is blooming his talents to the whole world.

Moreover, this guy is from the Eastern Conference. He and O'Neal, who is in the same team, are very young. They will form a double tower and become a threat that cannot be underestimated in the future.

Wait, if he remembers correctly, Artest seems to have been traded to the Pacers as well?

So...

There are many powerful players in the second grade. Although Ginobili has made great progress, he has not shown any outstanding performance. Until the third quarter, he has more opportunities to perform.

It is not necessarily a good thing to have a lot of popular players, because everyone wants to perform and it is difficult to work together.

There will be no coach who will let them do anything in this kind of game. They will play whatever they want without being restricted by anyone.

Therefore, the result of this game is not clear until the fourth quarter.

The game was full of suspense, and Ginobili's toughness, unique European steps, and his pursuit of efficiency began to attract others.

"The Argentinian from Detroit performed quite well tonight!" Walton opened his mouth and tied Ginobili to the fire rack to roast, "I am definitely the best sophomore."

Because of this sentence, his teammates on the field deliberately alienated Ginobili and asked him to play games alone, without providing support or giving help. No matter what he wanted to do, he had to rely on himself.

"Is this also called playing a game? There is no pick-and-roll." Rashid made a frustration for Ginobili.

Without the help of his teammates, Ginobili could only rely on himself. Fortunately, his opponent was not strong, and even one-on-one, he had a high grasp.

Although he only played for 2 minutes, he left behind the scores and 2 assists.

This data is not dazzling compared to other players, but Ginobili has the same attributes as Momonchen. He is the kind of player who can attract attention as soon as he comes on the court.

Every point they get and any contribution they make are profound in the hearts of the fans.

In contrast to those players who scored a lot of points without realizing it, Ginobili and Momonchen were impressive in how many points they scored. When the audience opened the statistics, they generally would not be surprised by their data, but would be disappointed because the data was not as expected.

This ugly game that shouldn't be expected ended with a natural result.

The first grade who was not favored actually defeated the uneven second grade with the advantage of points.

Think about how many great 2000 rookies have become talents, and how many 999 rookies have become talents, Mo Mengchen stood on the sidelines and felt ashamed of these people.

No one can lose to the 2000th class in the history level.

Unfortunately, they lost.

Bend scored a game-high 36 points and 5 rebounds, and was elected as the rookie challenge vp without any suspense.

History has changed, so I lost the game in the second grade, and Szebiak was not elected to VP,

This is a history that no one cares about, because the rookie challenge VP can't decide anything.

Just like no one cares who is the Rookie of the Year.

Momonchen just wanted to observe Ginobili's progress, but discovered the huge potential in Bend. He always thought that Bend might develop in the direction of Garnett Jr. Now, maybe things won't be that simple.

After the rookie challenge, the only highlights of the All-Star Weekend are the Slam Dunk and the All-Star Game.

Last year, Carter set a very high standard for the dunk contest. Fans are looking forward to Carter participating again, but Demigods no longer want to play with mortals.

If Carter does not participate in the competition, fans' expectations for this dunk contest are not that high.

In the end, the dunk champion of this year was won by rookie Desmond Mason with a cross-dunk.

If the dunk contest becomes boring because Carter doesn't participate, then this year's All-Star Game is the most intense and least like the exhibition tournament.

Mo Mengchen didn't take this game seriously. He just played casually and tried to make the fans happy, and he didn't pay attention to the victory or defeat.

At the beginning, everyone was like this.

At the end of the third quarter, many people thought the Western Conference Stars would win the game.

Then, Iverson turned his speed into a sharp sword, ran and jumped between lightning and fire, moved his figure and finally succeeded in stabbing, allowing the Western Star to become a dazzling background in the last nine minutes.

At that time, the Eastern Conference was already 9 points behind. I don’t know what stimulated Iverson, and he came on the court with murderous aura.

In the last nine minutes, he scored 5 of his 25 points.

In the All-Star Game, Iverson once again showed his speed at another level.

An ordinary fast break, at most, in the hands of other guards, there is only a time to play an open emergency stop three-pointer, but the ball becomes an easy layup in Iverson's hands; the gap left by a giant's movement may become a defensive trap at any time, fanning the ignorant guard out of the penalty area, but in Averson, a ghost cut can be completed.

The giant Western giant's giant god palm could not keep up with Iverson's meteor fast sword at all. After being penetrated by a sword, they still didn't know anything.

Finally someone discovered it: "He is really playing."

Kobe made consecutive jump shots, and the West stabilized the situation again, but Marbury made an open three-pointer on the left wing. After a slight setback, the East was full of momentum again. Kobe got rid of the cross-step on the left wing, and made another shot from a long distance, and the West regained the lead.

The last blow from the east was handed over to Mo Mengchen.

Just like a wake-up lion, he didn't want the All-Star Game to be so intense, but now that's it, he deserves to win the game for the East.

Facing Kidd, Momonchen's rise was as fierce as a sandstorm, and it started unimaginably, shattering Kidd's defense in one step. He paused. In order to keep up with the attack, Kidd forced his body, but his center of gravity completely collapsed.

Mo Mengchen started the shot and made a perfect shot.

Afterwards, the West missed its last blow, and Iverson, who made great contributions to the big reversal, walked along the sidelines, shaking his jersey, shouting wildly, showing the unique wildness of street players.

At that moment, countless people were fascinated by him.

This is an All-Star Game, so there is no need to be so serious, but Iverson did this.

In fact, this is a small passage for Iverson in this legendary season.

In this year, he carried more than 0 major and minor injuries on his body, and performed the most scattered and spectacular dance like a bloody elf. Every game may be his last dance, but he would never stop until the blood was over. Because he found that in this year he was so close to his dream, because they had Duncan, which made him decide to give it his all.

If he wins the championship in the morning, he will willingly die at night.

What others saw was the passion and passion that Iverson would not stop even if he died.

What Mo Mengchen saw was a thorny enemy standing at the end of the road waiting for him.

In any case, they will definitely meet in a narrow road in the end.
