This Forward is Not Serious

The first day of All-Star Weekend features three main events: the Masters Game, the Rookie Game, and this year's extra Hall of Fame ceremony.

The venue for the competition is in the Science Gymnasium of the All-Stars' sub-pavilion.

The attendance rate of the stadium was quite high, and many Chinese fans came to the scene.

Not only because of the Hall of Fame ceremony, this year's Masters is also very characteristic, it uses the Canadian team of the United States team.

The Canadian team is star-studded, and the head coach is the current player development coach of the Nets, Steve Nash,

In terms of players, McGrady will also represent Canada because he has played for the Raptors.

In addition, it was the first time that a Chinese appeared in the competition, Canadian Chinese Wu Xian.

For the US team, the head coach is the famous comedian Kevin Hart, and he has even more stars under his spell.

Iverson and Billups, the former Nets teammates, will lead this American celebrity team,

Lin Ying also came to the competition site and dressed very formally.

Iverson's Hall of Fame ceremony, he still attaches great importance as a friend.

Of course, he was more relaxed at the beginning, after all, there were the Masters and Rookie games before that.

The Masters has an appearance ceremony. When Iverson came on the stage, he showed off the hat on his head very intentionally.

It was only in the spotlight that the fans realized that the "BG3" in front of his hat had a meaning.

Of course, the meaning is left to the fans to guess.

Both sides of the Masters were very enjoyable, especially Iverson, who had a strong offensive desire and performed very well.

It looks like he has been training.

After the final game, the US team defeated the Canadian team, Iverson scored 18 points, was elected the MVP of the Masters.

Also in the acceptance speech, Iverson showed the hat again, and then explained the meaning inside.

Next season he will host a league called "B1G3" in Brooklyn, which is a half-court 3v3, and he will join it himself.

So he left the Nets to hold a personal training camp before, and then worked hard to get this MVP, all preparing for his league.

Lin Ying knew about this league, the NBA Retirement League, a stage for retired players who couldn't play in the NBA.

But he didn't know some of the details, and this was a wave of revelation.

After the Masters, there is the Rookie Game.

Jokic appeared.

He shared the MVP with Wiggins last year and was in the spotlight before the game.

Lin Ying went down and said hello to the little fat man. Of course, it wasn't just the little fat man, but someone also ran towards him.

Booker was also selected to the rookie game this year.

And the scene of involution reappears.

If Jokic is an overseas fanatic that Lin Ying doesn't know about, then Booker is a local diehard Lin Ying in North America.

It is no exaggeration to say that Lin Ying has watched Booker grow up all the way.

After saying hello, Lin Ying sat back in the auditorium to watch the game.

After the game started, Jokic just hung up.

This guy has no pursuit of honors other than championships, not to mention the MVP has already been won.

However, Wiggins was very excited to play, and the three-point dunk came in a row.

He averaged 23 points per game with the Nuggets this season, an improvement over last year.

But in the end, the world team still did not win the US team.

The MV was won by LaVine of the US team, who scored 30 points on 13 of 20 shots.

Booker also played well, scoring 23 points on 9-of-13 shooting.

After the rookie match was over, the venue began to be arranged, and Lin Ying also moved from the audience seat to the guest seat in the middle.

Lin Ying saw a lot of old acquaintances here. In addition to the three who were going to be on stage, Yao Ming, Kobe, and Wade who were in Toronto all came to the scene.

They are also more or less related to the three who are going to play tonight,

Lin Ying sat directly next to Yao Ming, and the two chatted about the Rio Olympics this summer.

Although Yao Ming has lost weight, injuries and dominance continue to decline as he ages.

His left foot, in particular, has seriously affected his performance this season.

If it weren't for the Olympic Games in Rio, he might have chosen to retire.

So the two are looking forward to talking about the Olympics.

If he can defend his title again before retiring, Yao Ming will have no regrets in his life.

While they were chatting, the Hall of Fame ceremony was about to begin, and Tatum delivered a speech himself,

BA Hall of Fame ceremonies are rare for All-Stars, but this should also be one of Tatum's micro-manipulations.

The purpose of this is to take this opportunity to reflect the importance that the NBA attaches to these celebrities and that there is a rule change this year regarding the Hall of Fame.

Originally, according to the previous rules, players could only be eligible for the Hall of Fame selection after 5 years of retirement.

However, this rule has caused a lot of controversy in the past few years, so when this year's selection, the league revised the rule to three years.

So both Tracy McGrady and Iverson were eligible for selection.

Every Hall of Famer will have a speech time of his own, and O'Neal will be the first to take the stage.

In addition to O'Neal, there are four other people, including Bill Russell and Mourning, who are already in the Hall of Fame and are O'Neal's recommenders.

O'Neill's speech soon began.

"Big Shark" is a very humorous person.

His speeches, though formatted, range from referrers to parents to teammates on each team,

But there was some humor in it that still made Lin Ying laugh.

For example, when talking about Lakers teammates, O'Neal's words made Kobe laugh.

"I thank Kobe Bryant for pushing me to a three-peat, pushing me away from the Lakers, pushing me to Miami."

However, it can be felt from these words that the relationship between the "K combinations" has basically eased.

Moreover, O'Neal also mentioned the next Iverson to debut.

"I want to apologize to Iverson, guys like him, I like to touch their heads, but if I touch him, he will fight back five times,

Will even dominate the game, so I don't do that afterwards. "

This also caused a burst of cheers from the crowd.

There are some words that players won't say when they're still playing. To put it up on such occasions is to show the greatest respect to the opponent.

Of course, O'Neal will inevitably mention Yao Ming.

"I thought he didn't speak English, and at one game I said to him 'good steps' and he said thank you buddy, and I knew he could speak English. "

When the camera was aimed at Yao Ming, Yao Ming couldn't help laughing and said something.

Lin Ying heard it beside him.

"He didn't even ask me if I would."

Lin Ying was also very moved.

The NBA is the stage with the highest level of basketball in the world, but in fact, this circle is not large.

O'Neal was followed by Iverson.

Allen Iverson showed his skills in the Masters game just now, and O'Neal helped him warm up. When he came on stage, there were continuous applause and cheers.

Then, Iverson wobbled from side to side when he got on the court.

"Does he change direction when he speaks?"

Yao Ming said to Lin Ying with a smile.

Lin Ying was stunned for a moment, then looked at Iverson for a while, and couldn't help laughing.

Don't tell me it's really similar!

Iverson's speech was shorter than O'Neal's, but his content was very different.

He thanked his mother and father one by one, and then mentioned Jordan, although the man was not here today.

This is also the first time Iverson has called Jordan an "icon" in public, and used a very exaggerated tone.

"Growing up watching him play."

A few years later, when Jokic and Booker retired, the target might have changed from Jordan to Lin Ying.

"I would also like to thank a man without whom my career would be full of cool colors, but who made me feel the warm colors of basketball.

Lin, my brother. "

After Iverson finished speaking, the scene camera was aimed at Lin Ying under the stage.

Lin Ying applauded Iverson under the camera.

"I was desperate for a title in 2001, but then I knew I might never get a chance in my life until I met Lin.

We had a chance in Denver, but we didn't do it for a few reasons, but we did it in Brooklyn, and I'll never forget those experiences.

Although we can't fight side by side anymore, I will always be your fan,"

Iverson's remarks drew a burst of whistles and cheers from the scene.

Those experiences between Lin Ying and Iverson are indeed a good story.

Lin Ying said a word to Iverson on stage at this time.

The staff on the side were quick-witted and handed over the microphone immediately.

"Can I join your B1G3'? That way we can continue to fight together."

Lin Ying's words made Iverson on the podium stop his "change of direction" action. He looked at Lin Ying quickly with a bit of astonishment, and his eyes were a little red.

He understood what Lin Ying's purpose was when he said this, it was helping his league to promote it!

"Of course, you can come anytime if you want."

Iverson said in a choked tone.

Lin Yingzhen's appearance on the scene of "B1G3" will bring unprecedented attention.

Even if it's just one game, the income created may be in the tens of millions.

Lin Ying smiled and nodded and handed the microphone to the staff, and Iverson's speech continued.

He then began to thank the fans, and the focus was entirely on the Chinese fans.

On such an occasion, Iverson did not need to mention it deliberately, but he still mentioned it,

Because after he retired, whether as an assistant coach for the Nets or for a personal training camp, he would go to China every year.

"Chinese fans are the best fans in the world, you'll know it when you've been there, and I hope to go to China every year for the rest of my life."

This remark also attracted bursts of cheers from the Chinese fans at the scene.

And perhaps because of the twists and turns of his career, one of the most frequently used words in Iverson's speeches was "thank you."

At the end of his speech, he also thanked all those who supported and helped him.

After Iverson was Tracy McGrady.

McGrady's speech is somewhat similar to O'Neal, but there is a more detailed point.

When referring to his teammates, he put Yao Ming first.

After McGrady retired, he did not go to the CBA to play as in the history, but directly transferred to explain.

However, when explaining, his sentence caused a huge controversy.

"My teammates in their prime, they weren't players like Russell Westbrook, they weren't players like Kevin Durant, Ibaka, Kobe Bryant or Pau Gasol, I never I've never played with a superstar like that."

Because of this sentence, he suffered huge controversy.

Although he deliberately emphasized the peak period, after all, he had been working with Yao Ming in the Rockets.

Now he puts Yao Ming first, which is a response to those remarks.

Alternatively, it can also be understood as clarification.

When Maddie's speech ended, the Hall of Fame ceremony also ended.

Lin Ying had many emotions, and couldn't help but imagine what it would be like when he entered the Hall of Fame.

Because of the Hall of Fame ceremony, the first day of All-Star Weekend is more about pulling the fans' feelings up.

Then the next day was a fierce competition.

The tone has been set since the Skills Challenge.

This year's Skills Challenge is split into big and small groups, culminating in a big-and-little final.

This kind of reform is also because of the advent of the small ball era, more and more big men with comprehensive skills.

Jokic's expression was still more serious at this time.

Come, come, always bring a trophy back.

But it is a pity that he met Towns in the first round and was eliminated by Towns.

Towns is arguably one of the most perfect insiders in the small-ball era, and most importantly, he's faster than Jokic.

After losing the little fat man, his face is full of anger. Looking at this posture, he wants to take revenge next year!

The three-point shooting contest after the skill challenge pushed the tone of fierceness to a climax.

The "Splash Brothers" battled again, and Jokic played for the second consecutive event.

Then, he made another G in the first round...

He only had 11 points in the first round.

This made Lin Ying happy.

Co-author Jokic is here to make everyone happy today.

When Jokic came down, Lin Ying opened his mouth to comfort him.

"When Kevin was in the 3-point contest for the first time, he shot six."

When Jokic cast a suspicious look at Durant, Durant was about to panic.

However, Lin Ying's next words made his butt, which had just left the ground, sit back again.

"But he scored 16 points in the second year and he made it to the final, almost winning, so you have a great chance next year."

Hearing Lin Ying so comforted, Jokic's expression improved a lot.

In the end of the first round, Booker and "Splash Brothers" advanced to the final together. The three preliminaries scored 20, 21, and 22 respectively.

The scores are not too high, but the final is very exciting.

Because Thompson made a high-profile announcement before the game that his goal in the three-point contest was to beat Curry.

And Booker is really suitable for big scenes. He has excellent performances in the rookie game and the three-point shooting contest, which is difficult for a rookie.

It is a pity that he only scored 16 points in the final, which is regarded as an early exit.

The final battle was expected to be between Curry and Thompson.

Curry came up with a hot touch and hit 7 consecutive hits, but his performance was a bit ups and downs, and he finally scored 23 points.

Although not very high, it is enough to put pressure on Thompson.

Then under heavy pressure, Thompson started to exert force from the top of the arc, and at the last flower ball, he directly threw all 5 goals.

In the end, he scored 27 points. With a brave attitude, he equaled the record recorded by Curry last year and defeated Curry to be the new three-pointer!

After winning, Thompson jumped and jumped, with a "won numb" expression.

Lin Ying looked at him with a lot of emotion.

Such a Thompson probably would not have imagined that one day he would be spurned by his favorite fans because of injuries and big contracts.
