All-Star weekend is officially here.

Western locker room.

"Oh, there are new faces."

"Let me see who they are, Zhang Jun and Luo Yin of the Trail Blazers. I hope you guys can enter the All-Stars every year in the future."

"So you have to play longer on the court, such as 40 minutes or 42 minutes. You will get corresponding rewards from playing for a long time. Of course, you will be more tired. If you want rewards, you will be more tired."

Iverson is an out-and-out big brother in the locker room, teasing and advising the players at will. When it was Zhang Jun's turn, he said it again.

"This is our Mr. 51 points, the current scoring leader in the league, and he is still a rookie. You are great."

Iverson patted Zhang Jun's chest and said, "I think you should play 48 minutes. The Blazers' head coach didn't use you like this. It's a loss for the team."

Zhang Jun couldn't help but smile and said: "How can I do so many things with an annual salary of more than 4 million? Some guys who earn 19 million should play on the court for 48 minutes without letting him rest for a minute. "

Carmelo Anthony and Chris Paul immediately laughed out loud. There is nothing better than seeing Iverson being teased in the All-Star locker room.

Kobe did not speak on the sidelines, nor did he participate in the cheerful atmosphere of his temporary teammates. Although he was a championship player with three rings, the people around him did not respect him as much as they respected Iverson.

These days, if you ask black players who they respect and like the most, you will probably not be able to escape Jordan's Law. But if you ask them who their second favorite is, Allen Iverson, who is leading the hip-hop wave, will unsurprisingly be the first choice.

"I want to beat all the players in the Eastern Conference tonight." Zhang Jun said his small goal for the first All-Star trip in his career.

Everyone was stunned. Kobe, who had put on his equipment, couldn't help but take another look at Zhang Jun. He still remembered the scene where the guy from the opposite side almost knocked him down in the opening game.

"Then you'd better make sure you score the first goal. Your All-Star teammates are not here to grab rebounds for you."

Kobe looked serious and said calmly.

People around him felt Kobe's hostility towards Zhang Jun. They all knew that Zhang Jun was from Los Angeles. Strictly speaking, Kobe was from Philadelphia and had lived in Europe most of his life.

Even before the draft, Zhang Jun was honored as the son of California. This was something that even Kobe had never had. On the streets of Los Angeles, Zhang Jun's reputation was no less than that of Kobe, so this guy was jealous and unhappy.

"I'll pass you a few balls, man."

Yao Ming smiled and said this first, and then Steve Nash and Carmelo Anthony patted Zhang Jun on the shoulder. The meaning was already clear.

Luo Yin encouraged his brother and said: "You should teach those All-Stars in the Eastern Conference a lesson."

Zhang Jun nodded, not to mention lessons, he just wanted to play against the top players to gain a wave of experience.

Kobe snorted and stopped talking.

........

The All-Star Game begins.

Jump ball at midfield.

Yao Ming jumped high and took the ball in the first round.

Allen Iverson advanced with the ball, and Kobe raised his hand at a 45° angle to ask for the ball.

Iverson shouted: "Zhang Jun, come here quickly."

Kobe frowned in displeasure.

Zhang Jun ran over in a hurry, and Dwyane Wade was stunned and quickly picked him up.

Zhang Jun, who was holding the ball, glanced at Wade, who immediately understood and said: "Good boy, do you really want to challenge us to a duel?"

Zhang Jun said with a proud smile: "Many fans compare my breakthrough with yours and Iverson's."

"I have already played against Allen Iverson. He is the player with the strongest breakthrough rhythm that I have ever seen, so I want to play with you too."

Wade puffed up his cheeks and smiled, he knew it.

Iverson and Zhang Jun have already played against each other, and they recognize each other's strength very much. He has not played against Wade, so he doesn't really recognize Wade's strength.

Zhang Jun wanted to have a duel to see if Wade was really as powerful as the rumors said.

"I've been a veteran for a long time, and I still need you to test me?"

Wade was so angry that he also became energetic.

The All-Star Game is meant to be participated in. Everyone is here to play, and they are all professional players. With such a singles opportunity, who wouldn’t want to give it a try.

Zhang Jun holds the ball and lowers his center of gravity.

James felt sorry for his banana boat brother and immediately shouted a reminder: "Wei! Be careful with his first step. You'd better take two steps back to defend him."

"You will never know how to shoot this kid in isolation. He wants to show his breakthrough skills in front of you."

call!

Zhang Jun was a little annoyed when he heard James croaking. As soon as the other party spoke, he suddenly accelerated his breakthrough.

"Fuck!"

Even though Wade was most prepared, Zhang Jun still missed him by half a step. The opponent's speed was really astonishing.

However, the half-step distance is not impossible for Wade to defend with his defensive ability. He immediately used his body to fight against Zhang Jun, trying to block Zhang Jun's breakthrough speed.

As a result, Zhang Jun made a breakthrough move with a forward turn, which was large, fast and rhythmic. This time he completely passed Wade and easily faced the frame.

boom!

Zhang Jun completed a one-handed slam.

Wade put his hands on his hips and rubbed his braces unhappily.

"Made, this kid breaks through and changes direction without slowing down."

It is very easy to change direction while traveling and leave the defender behind. Zhang Jun's change of direction while traveling does not slow down and passes people very quickly. This is indeed very difficult to defend.

"No wonder this kid can become the current scoring champion. His scoring methods are truly incomprehensible."

Wade was beaten without any knowledge. If he knew that Zhang Jun broke through so quickly, he would have at least taken two or three steps to defend.

The fans in New Orleans immediately burst into enthusiastic applause.

Even they very much recognized Zhang Jun's breakthrough attack in that round. There were many breakthrough masters in the league, but this was the first time they had seen someone like Zhang Jun break through so fast and have such a strong visual impact.

James reminded Wade in a low voice: "This little brat is here to show off his skills."

Wade was also excited by the beating and said: "I can't get back this fight."

Eastern teams attack.

While walking, James raised his hand repeatedly and shouted: "Jason, give my ball to my brother."

Jason Kidd couldn't help but was stunned. He wanted to rush over and teach James a lesson. What the hell is your ball? Why did this Eastern Conference All-Star ball become yours?

Jason Kidd wanted to piss off James, so he deliberately gave the ball to Chris Bosh.

James then shouted dissatisfied: "Oh, Jason, you didn't give the ball to my brother. I don't like you anymore. I shouldn't put your poster on my wall when I'm studying."

"You have no grace at all."

Bosh laughed out loud after catching the ball and quickly threw the ball to Wade at the top of the key.

"You won't stop playing with this guy for the whole game. Jason, you'd better ignore him."

Jason Kidd was also happy and shouted to Wade: "If you can't score this ball, we won't pass it to you in the future, and neither will James."

Wade also laughed out loud while holding the ball. He enjoyed playing with James.

"Brother, it's my turn to fight you alone."

Wade came back to his senses and said seriously.

Zhang Jun lowered his center of gravity and opened his hands and said: "Then you must show all your strength. Your teammates are watching."

boom!

Wade's first step is also very fast!

Apart from Tracy McGrady, this is another player Zhang Jun has seen whose first step speed is not weaker than his.

Zhang Jun retreated quickly to catch up, and Wade made a European step loop while walking. He managed to show off a breakthrough position with his feet without completely passing Zhang Jun.

call!

Worried about Zhang Jun's height and armband, Wade threw his body into the air after breaking through to the basket, then made a reverse layup, and then Wade was thrown directly off the court.

Uh-huh!

The basketball hit the backboard and bounced directly into the basket. Although the layup angle was very tricky, Wade seemed to be very good at hitting such a board.

After scoring the goal, Wade got up and patted Zhang Jun's butt and said: "You are still a little young. No one ever told you to respect your seniors on the court?"

Zhang Jun replied: "On the court, I have no seniors."

Deflated Wade cursed.

"What kind of disrespectful behavior is this?"

Then there was another active singles play by Zhang Jun.

It's just that after Zhang Jun played three rounds alone, Kobe was the first to stand it. When he served in the backcourt, he took the initiative to catch the ball and then dribbled the ball alone across the half court.

No matter how Zhang Jun raised his hand to ask for the ball, or how Iverson signaled for Zhang Jun to play two more times, Kobe completely ignored him. He faced Wade with the ball and also started his singles.

Breakthrough, back-up while moving, one bank and one top, turn around, step back, and shoot.

Uh-huh!

Kobe also hit his first mid-range fadeaway shot.

After hitting the shot, Kobe pulled on his elbow pads and glanced at several people on the court, as if to say that he could also play.

Subsequently, the singles addiction of Anthony, Iverson and others was aroused, and the All-Star Game completely turned into a game for players from the East and West to show off their singles skills.

In the fourth quarter of the game.

The score on the field has become 98:90, and the Western Conference team temporarily leads by 8 points.

James gathered all his teammates during the break and said: "Guys, we have played and made trouble, and now it is time to win the game."

"How about winning this game in one wave?"

Chris Bosh couldn't help but remind him in a low voice: "This year's All-Star Game is in New Orleans. The All-Stars in the Western Conference are trying to make him win the All-Star MVP trophy at their doorstep. ”

"We won the game right now. Xiaopao will be so angry that he will jump up. I suggest..."

James patted Bosh's chest and said, "I suggest you stop suggesting it. Let's win the game first."

When you win the game, you can still talk about a hammer.

Bosh glanced at James with a look of disdain. Chris Paul is your good brother. If you treat him like this, you don't know whether he will be able to survive after the game.

The Eastern All-Stars then launched a counterattack call, and James hit the basket three times in a row and scored layups.

This change immediately alerted the Western All-Stars.

Zhang Jun reminded: "They want to grab the All-Star MVP trophy, and it seems that James is taking the lead."

Chris Paul was so angry that he stamped his feet and cursed: "I knew that idiot LeBron would come to snatch it. This guy wants to chase Jordan's honor and is obsessed with it. He will fight for everything."

"Guys, I suggest you give them some color to see, and you will definitely defend the victory in tonight's game."

With Paul's words, Zhang Jun can no longer hide it. If he continues to be humble, the game will be won by the Eastern All-Stars.

Zhang Jun decisively stepped forward to win the game at this time, and that's what he did.

First, he challenged James to a layup with stunning skills, and then made a fast-break Dapeng dunk. Then he broke through and passed the ball to Paul for a three-pointer.

Under the leadership of Zhang Jun, the Western Conference All-Stars hit a 10:4 shock wave, stabilizing the game in one fell swoop.

At the end of the game, the Western Conference All-Stars defeated the Eastern Conference All-Stars 134:128.

Chris Paul had 16 points, 3 rebounds and 14 assists, Zhang Jun had 30 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists, and Kobe Bryant had 8 points and 3 rebounds.

Both Zhang Jun and Paul performed very well, but at the final MVP award, the host still awarded the MVP trophy to Paul.

"After all, they are playing at home, and it's a big double-double, so it makes sense."

After all, he scored 30+ statistics. Luo Yin was afraid that Zhang Jun would feel wronged, so he hurried over to comfort him, but Zhang Jun didn't care at all.

"I'm just here for a one-on-one fight, and I enjoy it a lot."

"The All-Star MVP trophy is the most valuable award, so don't give it up."

Luo Yin was stunned by Zhang Jun's words. After a moment, he realized what he was saying and cursed loudly.

"What the hell, if you can't eat the grapes, you'll say the grapes are sour."

........

The All-Star Weekend is finally over, and each team is back on track.

Teams with poor records began to be completely ruined, and their excellent assets were put on the shelves for trade. Teams with better records also began to make reinforcements, but there was a high probability that they would pay the team's first-round draft pick.

But for the sake of the next playoff spots and the upcoming playoffs, these teams will not hesitate to pay their first-round picks.

The trade deadline is just one week away.

There are no plans within the Trail Blazers to execute a trade, and both Steve Patterson and Nate McMillan are satisfied with the team's current situation.

They are ranked fourth in this year's powerful Western Conference, and there is almost no suspense about making it to the playoffs. At this time, they are more concerned about the stability of the team.

"After the All-Star Game, the team will also begin its final push for the playoffs."

"Nate, I hope the team can move higher up in the Western Conference rankings."

Steve Patterson said with a proud look on his face.

Because of the Trail Blazers' improved performance on and off the court this season, he has been praised by team owner Paul Allen many times. In Steve Patterson's view, this season is also the season in which he is most likely to achieve results. .

It is necessary to grasp it.

Nate McMillan hesitated for a moment before speaking his mind.

"I want to take some rest in the second half of the season, especially in back-to-back games, to rest the team's main rotation players."
