This is why Xie Hou likes to be with Bird.

It is undeniable that this middle-aged man who is premature and aging is often annoying. His unacceptable cold humor, his wise remarks from time to time, his unique insights and sharp complaints have benefited him a lot.

That day, Xie Hou understood two things: Walsh treated him as an idiot, and Bird enjoyed his current life very much.

Indeed, if he doesn't have to do anything and gets a six-figure salary every month, what reason does he have to not enjoy life?

Bird had no idea about the comeback, so Xie Hou had to let go for the time being.

A few days later, he set out with Papalucas to Denver for the All-Star Weekend.

The Pacers could have three people participating in the All-Star Game, but unfortunately, O'Neal Jr. was injured before the game, and Kirilenko played too few games and missed the peak of the vote harvesting. Although he had a 54-point performance in a single game after his comeback, it was not enough to be selected as the All-Star Game.

On February 19, the All-Stars officially began.

What made Xie Hou depressed was that superstars like him who had achieved success and fame actually had to participate in the rookie challenge? And they were playing in the first grade who had just joined the league as a second grader.

If he was asked to join as a first-year foreign aid, the game might be so interesting, helping the second-year player to play first-year player?

The rookie challenge mvp was not attractive to Xie Hou, so he decided to avoid the game by cheating.

No one cares whether he is really injured or not. His reason was quickly accepted by the league. Without him, the second grade of 2003 was enough to kill the first grade.

In the 2003 Platinum Generation, in the second year of its career, four people have been selected as All-Stars.

And, they all come from the east.

Dwyne Wade, who led the Cavaliers to the second record in the Eastern Conference, currently averaging 25 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists per game. He lags behind Iverson, James and Shehou with 1.2 million votes.

There is also Cameron Anthony, the starting lineman of the Eastern Conference No. 1 Pistons, currently averaging 22 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists per game. There are signs that he is being trusted by Larry Brown.

As well as Dako Milicic, who formed the Great Wall of the North with the Sharks, his average of 17 points and 7 rebounds per game is not enough. Being selected as an All-Star is the support of his fellow Canadians and Serbians, similar to Yao Guo being selected as an All-Star starter in the rookie season.

Then there is James, who is expected to lead the Knicks to compete for the top scorer. He received 1.5 million votes as a defender, just behind vote king Xie Hou.

With four All-Stars in charge, plus a group of powerful players, against the young generation of 2004, Xie Hou seemed to have seen the brutal result of the game.

On the night of the rookie challenge, the outside world was curious about who Anthony, Wade, and James could become the MVP of the rookie challenge.

As a result, Chris Bosh suddenly stole the show. As a 2003 generation, his starlight was completely overwhelmed by James and others. However, the All-Star Weekend was held at his doorstep, and Bosh would never disappoint the fans.

After struggling, the first graders were gradually ruled by the second graders.

Bosh's offensive rebounds, high mid-range shots; Korver's three-pointers; James-led rotation offense and Anthony's shooting.

Although Wade performed mediocrely, others were enough to pick the fruits of victory for the second grade.

In the end, the sophomore team won a 133-106 victory and ended up. Bosh of the Nuggets showed his power at his doorstep, scoring 31 points and 15 rebounds and was elected as the Most Valuable Player, and finally surpassed the 203 generation who had been under his head.

The Rookie Challenge MVP is not a very honorable award, just like we generally don’t care about those who won the Rookie of the Year. If the winner is the pride of the world who became superstars, this award will only become a glimpse of his career; if the person who won it is just a character player who exploded by chance, he will inevitably encounter the embarrassment of "Hey, this guy actually won the Rookie Challenge MVP?"

Xie Hou congratulated the 2003 generation on the spot, and by the way he hypocritically expressed how regret it was that he was not able to fight side by side with them.

All-Star weekends are available every year, but the chance to participate in the rookie challenge is only twice in a lifetime. It's a pity - King Arthur wishes he could shed a few tears to prove that he is sincere.

Next is the highlight.

The third day of the All-Star Weekend.

Today there are finals of various individual events, main competitions with stars, opening shows, midfield shows and final shows of hot stars.

That afternoon, the All-Stars from East and West came to the scene to be interviewed by the media, one of which everyone would be asked - "What impressed you the most so far in the season?"

Iverson's answer made people sigh: "I feel like I'm a little old, that's that simple. You can't expect me to be only 25 or 26 years old forever. People are going to grow up. I have done many mistakes in my life. Of course, I hope they have never happened, but I am also very happy that I have made those mistakes because I have learned a lot from it and will not make such mistakes again in the future."

“The deepest impression?”

Duncan's answer is the most effective. He first stared at the reporter with his eyes wide open and innocent eyes. When the reporter thought he might have a problem with his brain, he would not ask such a question. Shi Fo said: "Yes, I will never forget the game on December 9, 2004.1."

1:35 seconds 13 minutes.

Duncan first made the atmosphere stiff, then broke the deadlock, and then used this simple answer to make people feel that he had no problem with it.

No matter who has experienced that game, it will never be forgotten. It is really a miracle that can only happen once every time.

When this question falls in front of Xie Hou, his answer is also very simple.

Duncan's answer is McGrady's miracle.

His answer is Auburn Mountain.

"On November 19, I will never forget this date. This day has changed a lot of things." Xie Hou said meaningfully.

That not only made the Pacers leave the championship ranks instantly, but also forced him to take on his responsibilities in an extreme way.

Xie Hou believed that he did not disappoint. He tried his best to keep the team's winning rate of more than 60%. His personal data reached its peak, but his efficiency was not good.

"Are there any goals tonight?" the reporter asked at the end.

Xie Hou smiled and said, "Leave the championship in the east."

That night, before the game started, the most interesting scene was that Kobe and O'Neal deliberately avoided shaking hands with each other.

They had shaken hands with almost everyone in the audience, but they did not extend their hands politely to each other.

Next, the game begins.

Yao Ming and O'Neal jumped the ball, O'Neal drew the ball, Iverson broke into the inside and passed the ball to Carter. Carter made a long three-pointer and hit the first goal of the game.

Yao Ming made a wonderful pass from Kobe 1 minute and 19 seconds after the first quarter. Kobe made a layup and Yao Ming won his first assist, but he missed the jump shot from the left bottom line. This was also the only mobile phone chance Yao Ming got in the first quarter.

As Popovich said: "The All-Stars are not big men."

Xie Hou was not very willing to compete for Amvp. He played for 7 minutes in the first quarter and had no active attacks at all. All the 4 points he scored were counterattacks.

But his pass-

Bill Walton said: "Arthur was not aggressive tonight, but he used his pass to make the audience dance jazz."

After the two sides drew many times in the first quarter, Ray Allen made a three-pointer, helping the West lead 22-17.

After Nash, Stoudemire and Marion, the three Suns players, played several fast attacks to help the Western Conference maintain their lead. Both sides replaced all the main players in the last stage of the first quarter, and the game lacked some performance elements.

The second section is the second section of Xie Hou and the 03 generation.

When Xie Hou, James, Wade, Anthony and Milicic stood on the court against Maddy, Carter, Kobe, Garnett and Duncan, Walton exclaimed: "The time for a change of dynasty has arrived!"

The young storm in the east blew a surging whirlwind with his transcendent athletic talent.

Xie Hou made the positional battle into a fast break countless times, James, Anthony and Wade showed up to dunk, Milicic's three-pointer was able to exert the maximum power, and he pulled outside to free up space for Xie Hou's penalty area.

In one quarter, Xie Hou scored 4 points and 7 assists.

At the end of the half, the Eastern Conference star led the Western Conference star 64 to 55, and Xie Hou scored 8 points and 10 assists.

If this continues, amvp is still his belongings, even if he has no intention of picking it up.

In the second half, Xie Hou's performance was slightly restrained. His desire was indeed not that strong, but the sharpness and brilliance that he inadvertently showed still made the audience at Pepsi Center feel satisfied.

In the first half of the fourth quarter, Xie Hou scored a three-pointer and a ball-breaking Duncan's highlight moment helped the Eastern Conference star team lead to 21 points.

At that time, the victory was basically locked in.

Western stars do not want to lose and frequently take long shots from outside, but they have no sight to catch up with the score.

As time goes by, and I can't make it easier for the East to win the game.

Xie Hou was unintentionally involved in Willows, played for 31 minutes, scored 20 points, 10 rebounds and 15 assists, and was elected as amvp for the second consecutive year.

He was surprised when he heard that the winner was him. Before he could react, Wade and James worked together to push him out.

"To be honest, this trophy is ashamed of me because I didn't even shed a few drops of sweat. It should belong to the guys who fought tonight's victory - like the group behind me."

No matter what Xie Hou said, the ownership of the trophy will not change. This move is indeed cheap and acts good.

No one can say anything, Xie Hou won the Amvp trophy, and the 2005 All-Star Weekend ended perfectly.

Next, all teams will enter a tense finale of the season.

At this time, a peaceful aura is about to disappear.
Chapter completed!
