"Emma, ​​are you really coming to Los Angeles?" Seeing Emma Watson and Wu Feng standing at the entrance of the stadium excitedly came to her.

Wu Feng originally wanted to hug her, but he thought that there were too many people on this occasion, so he gave up.

"Feng, I just came here just to look at you. I have to leave after a glance. I don't have much time now, but I will have time tomorrow. I will give you a surprise here tomorrow." Emma Watson seemed very anxious. After saying these words, he kissed Wu Feng in the face and ran away.

Wu Feng looked at Emma who was in the sports car with a tense face, sighed, and had to look forward to seeing her tomorrow.

"So she asked me to come to the door, just wanting to take a look at me. Alas..."

Thinking of meeting Emma tomorrow, Wu Feng became happy again. What's more, just now, he won the MVP of the rookie challenge, which even broke the 17 rookie challenge assist record held by Chris Paul.

Therefore, Wu Feng was even happier.

…………

On the second day of the All-Star Weekend, although Wu Feng did not play, he still came to the scene because he was going to meet Emma Watson in the Staples Arena.

And Emma said she wanted to surprise herself, and she would come no matter what.

As the host of this All-Star Game, two players from the Los Angeles Lakers were selected for the All-Star Game - Kobe and Gasol. The latter is the voter of this All-Star Game.

The so-called vote king naturally refers to the player who receives the most All-Star votes every year. In most cases, they were also the most popular players in the league at that time.

Among the many vote kings, several people have special milestone significance.

Magic Johnson was ranked first in the All-Star votes in 1985 and 1986 for two consecutive years, of which 1060,892 votes were received in 1986, making him the first star in NBA history to win more than one million votes.

Michael Jordan, since 1987, has monopolized the All-Star vote king for seven consecutive years, and it is obvious that if he had not played baseball after the first three consecutive championships, this terrifying record would have continued.

The evidence is that he once again won the votes in 1997 and 1998, of which he received 2451,136 votes in 1997. You know, there was no such thing as online voting in the world at that time. God knows how many votes can Flying Man get now, maybe 100 million?

Yao Ming was the one who appeared next. Putting aside the concepts of Internet, strength, patriotism, etc., he was indeed the first person to break Jordan's vote record.

In 2005, he received 2558,278 votes. In 2006, Yao Ming's votes fell slightly, but he still ranked first with 2342,738 votes.

In 2009, Dwight Howard set an astonishing record of 3150,181 votes, not only becoming the voter leader with an absolute advantage, but also becoming the first player in history to receive 3 million votes.

However, in the All-Star Game, there is one person who is not the ticket king, but we must not ignore it here.

This person is named Bruce Bowen, the best outside defender in the league in the past, and is now retired.

In people's impression, Bruce Bowen plays dirty and is angry with both humans and gods. However, in the 2009 All-Star vote, something inexplicable happened: Bruce Bowen's votes suddenly skyrocketed to 1392,398, not only surpassing Artest, who had a large number of Chinese IP support at the time, but even surpassing Carmelo Anthony, who was at least 1,000 times more popular than him. He ranks third among all Western forwards, and only 60,000 votes left to pull Amare Stoudemire off the throne of the Western All-Star starter.

This is probably the most incredible event in the history of NBA All-Star voting, and I'm afraid there will never be a reasonable explanation.

If you have to guess, maybe Uncle Bao San has many relatives and friends on Mars?

In this year's Los Angeles All-Star Game, as the host, the Lakers had a player who was qualified to enter the All-Star Game but failed to enter.

"Hey, it's a pity Andrew wasn't selected for the All-Star Game!" said a fan wearing a Los Angeles Lakers jersey with a regretful tone.

"Yes, this All-Star Game is held in Los Angeles again, and it's a pity to think about it. Kobe and Gasol both entered, and it would be even better if Andrew entered too." Another Lakers fan discussed.

"Andrew's performance this season is almost no worse than Gasol, and it shouldn't be unsuccessful."

Hearing these comments from Lakers fans, Wu Feng laughed helplessly. He has also seen these comments online, and basically all Lakers fans say this.

But to be fair, Andrew Bynum's progress this season is indeed obvious, averaging 16 points and 10.8 rebounds per game, which plays a significant role in the Lakers system.

It is indeed a bit tragic to not be selected for the All-Star Game.

However, there is never a lack of regrets in the All-Star Game. Many stars who perform well in the season will regret missing the All-Star Game. Some even perform well in the All-Star Game, but unfortunately miss the MVP.

For example, in 2009, it was incredible that Steve Nash and Kevin Durant failed to be selected as All-Stars. Especially the former, you should know that the All-Star weekend was held in Phoenix that year - can you imagine there was no Ferrari in the F1 held in Italy?

However, these are far from the biggest regret in All-Star history, because this title can only belong to Michael Jordan.

There are two melancholy things in the Flying Man. One is the All-Star Game in 1997, where Jordan scored 14 points, 11 rebounds and 11 assists, and scored the only All-Star triple-double in history.

The referee, who was unfamiliar with the style, awarded the MVP to substitute Glenn Rice, because the latter scored a highest 26 points, and even made 20 points in the third quarter.

Of course, this incident is not enough to make the flying man feel sorry for him. After all, Wilt Chamberlain scored 42 points and 24 rebounds in 1962, and Magic Johnson also scored 15 points, 9 rebounds and 22 assists in 1984, but they failed to get MVP.

The second is the All-Star Game in 2003. The last All-Star Game of Michael Jordan's career, the greatest basketball player in history. All teammates desperately passed the ball to him and made him score. The league was also very sensible and deliberately made an exaggerated MVP trophy with an exaggerated look that was as huge as the celadon vase in Qianlong's study.

What happened later fully demonstrates that the league underestimated Kobe Bryant's competitive spirit and overestimated the IQs of the referee and Jermaine O'Neal.

These three teams teamed up to turn Michael Jordan's perfect last shot into a feces.

After the awards were presented, David Stern had no time to erase the Michael Jordan on the base of the trophy, and he was quick to wiping off the Seven Wolves logo on his clothes, pasted it on the trophy, and smiled and handed it to Kevin Garnett's hand.

The All-Star Game is tomorrow, and today there are five major competitions, namely the Dunk Competition, the Skills Challenge Competition, the Three-Point Competition, the Shooting Star Competition and the Celebrity Competition.

And among these five major competitions, the most popular one is naturally the slam dunk competition.

The dunk contest was originally the most popular event among American people on the All-Star weekend. To this day, the most iconic event of the All-Star is still the monster battle between Michael Jordan and Dominic Wickkins in the 1988 Slam Dunk Contest.

However, since then, the dunk contest has been getting worse. Except for Vince Carter, who came to earth in 2000, there is nothing else that can prevent the audience from changing the channel to the Super Bowl, Tiger Woods and Grey's Anatomy.

And in the slam dunk competition, there are several names that cannot be ignored.

Jason Richardson, the most unpopular and the worst viewing in history, the dunk contest winner who won the championship purely by stacking difficulties. What’s hateful is that this guy won twice.

Fred Jones, although just a few years have passed, there are 90 fans who can no longer remember what action he used to win the championship.

Then there was the worst, Nate Robinson, the guy actually took 17 chances to complete his terrible dunk.

Some vicious fans even thought that if Kwame Brown had given 17 chances, he could make a three-pointer.

Fans should thank Dwight Howard, who not only saved the center position, but also saved the dunk contest.

In fact, in 2007, he should have won the dunk contest, but unfortunately a group of myopic judges murdered the cute big-headed post.

In 2008, Howard learned his lesson and played Superman without stickers. This time, he finally won the Dunk Contest championship.

But in the two years after Dwight Howard, the dunk contest was still not very popular.

In the past few years, the three-point competition has still attracted many super stars to participate, such as Paul Pierce, Ray Allen, etc.

When it comes to the three-point competition, people always instinctively think of those white shooters who are holding their throats. However, the performance of the 'God of Basketball' Michael Jordan in the three-point competition has also made many fans remember it.

The Flying Man is indeed the God of basketball. He is proficient in almost all the skills related to basketball, but three-pointers are obviously not included. Before 1990, Jordan's career three-point shooting percentage was only 28.2, and in only one season in 6 years, he has a three-point shooting percentage of more than 30%.

God knows why he thought of signing up for the three-point competition that year!

No matter what, the tragedy still happened.

Facts have proved that Jordan's participation in the three-point competition is as ridiculous as Biel Hoff's participation in the free kick competition. His Majesty the Flying Man left an amazing record of 5 points, which caused an uproar in public opinion.

Later, Jordan focused on playing basketball and never had any other terrible thoughts. People believed that this record would be permanently sealed.

In 2008, Kobe had a sudden idea and signed up for the three-point competition. Public opinion was once again in an uproar, and they all believed that the 5-point record would be out of order.

Unexpectedly, Kobe withdrew from the game due to a finger injury, and the audience dispersed in shock. Rumors were made that Kobe asked David Stern to arrange the defender when he made a three-pointer, and his hand must be covered on his face. The president refused to obey, so Kobe withdrew angrily.

Of course, these are just rumors, and I don’t know how credible it is.

…………

In the Staples Stadium, Wu Feng did not see Emma. Bored, he could only go to see some games that are being held or coming.

Now, the three-point contest is being held.

The rules of the NBA three-point competition are: there are 5 shooting points on the three-point line, and 4 orange basketballs and 1 colored basketball are placed on each point. Each contestant has one minute to shoot, score an orange ball and score an orange ball and score a colored ball and score a 2-pointer. The three players with the best score in the first round can enter the second round, and the players with the best score in the second round win the championship.

The contestants of this three-pointer contest are Paul Pierce of the Celtics, Ray Allen, Kevin Durant of the Thunder, Dorell Wright of the Warriors, James Jones of the Heat and Daniel Gibson of the Cavaliers.

Among them, "Truth" Pierce was the three-pointer in the All-Star Game in 2010, while Ray Allen was the three-pointer in the All-Star Game in 2001. Dorrell Wright was the player in the league that invested the most three-pointers this season (135 investments), Daniel Gibson was the runner-up in the 2008 All-Star Game in 2008, Kevin Durant was the "scoring king", and James Jones was a three-point expert.

However, in the preliminary stage, scoring champions Kevin Durant, Daniel Gibson and Dorrell Wright were eliminated with 6 points, 7 points and 11 points. Ray Allen, who scored 20 points, Paul Pierce, who shot 12 points, and James Jones, who shot 16 points, entered the finals.

In the finals, Paul Pierce, the worst-ever preliminaries.

Pierce scored 3 points on the first shooting point, 4 points on the second shooting point, and 3 points on the third shooting point. In the end, he became more and more courageous and scored 18 points.

The second one to play was James Jones. Jones scored 4 points in the first shooting point and 4 points in the second shooting point, and was in very good shape. Jones threw the first four lottery balls and finally scored 20 points.

The last one to play was Allen. Allen scored only 2 points in the first shooting point and only 2 points in the second shooting point, but he made 5 goals in the third shooting point. At the last shooting point, Allen felt bad and ended up only 15 points.

In the end, James Jones, who was not favored, won the championship of this three-point competition.

Seeing this result, Wu Feng sighed helplessly.

Then, he found Durant and comforted him. After two fights, Wu Feng and Durant have a good relationship now, and they often call to contact each other.

After chatting for a while, they went to see the upcoming skills challenge.

In today's second event event skills challenge, two favorites, Chris Paul and Derek Ross, as well as No. 1 pick John Wall, were eliminated in the preliminary round.

In the end, the "cute god" Stephen Curry defeated the champions with a time of 28.2 seconds and successfully won the championship. He also became the seventh player to win the championship in the skills competition after Jason Kidd, Baron Davis, Deron Williams, Derek Ross, Dwyane Wade and Steve Nash.

Five players participated in this Skills Challenge. In addition to Chris Paul, who was selected by the league, Russell Westbrook and Derek Ross participated in the Skills Challenge for the second time. In addition, there are two new faces, Stephen Curry and John Wall.

Stephen Curry was the first to play in the preliminary round, taking 34.1 seconds; Russell Westbrook then played in 30 seconds. Then he played John Wall, who had just given 22 assists in the rookie game, but the No. 1 pick seemed to be a bit haste, and made mistakes in shooting and passing, which ended up taking 39.3 seconds.

The fourth appearance was Derek Ross, the champion of the previous year, but it took 35 seconds.

The finale Chris Paul had a problem as soon as he came on the court and even missed a layup, which caused laughter on the spot.

In the end, Chris Paul took 43 seconds to get it done and was terrified to be at the bottom. In the end, Stephen Curry and Russell Westbrook entered the finals respectively.
