With four perfect dunks, Wei Guo won the dunk contest championship as he wished.
Having just delivered his acceptance speeches for the Three-Point Contest and Skills Challenge, Wei Guo is now about to deliver his acceptance speech for the Slam Dunk Contest.
Unlike his previous modesty, Wei Guo's acceptance speech after winning the dunk contest was somewhat arrogant: "This is a world full of talent."
I hope the league will see more talented young players in the future, and I'm willing to accept their challenges because I still have so many dunks to show.
........
On the first day of All-Star Weekend, Wei Guo achieved a Grand Slam.
Three-point shooting contest champion.
Skills Challenge Champion.
Slam Dunk Contest Champion.
I wonder if any players will follow Wei Guo's example and register for all three competitions at the same time, and I wonder if any player will be able to achieve a Grand Slam.
........
The focus of All-Star Weekend is ultimately on the All-Star Game itself.
This year's All-Star Game is definitely a star-studded event.
The perimeter defense boasts four great shooting guards: Jordan, Nash, and Kidd.
The frontcourt included O'Neal, Duncan, Garnett, and Nowitzki. And Yao Ming.
Besides these, there are Francis, Marbury, Payton, Pierce, Marion... and of course, the league's current star player, Wei Guo.
The head coach of the Western Conference All-Star team is Alvin Gentry of the Houston Rockets, and the head coach of the Eastern Conference All-Star team is Scott of the Brooklyn Nets.
Western Conference All-Star starting lineup:
Francis, Kobe, Wei Guo, Duncan, Yao Ming
Eastern Conference All-Star starting lineup:
Allen Iverson, Michael Jordan, Tracy McGrady, Jermaine O'Neal, Ben Wallace
I won't go into detail about the entrance ceremony...
Before the game started, O'Neal even dragged Weiguo to the center of the court to dance. Weiguo, who grew up on the grasslands, is naturally good at singing and dancing.
result...
After Wei Guo finished his grassland dance, O'Neal suddenly knelt down on one knee and tried to kiss Wei Guo's right hand. This disgusted Wei Guo so much that he ran to the sidelines and pulled Duncan over to block him and O'Neal.
........
The game is about to begin, and Yao Ming and Jermaine O'Neal are standing in the center circle, ready for the jump ball.
Having barely adapted to the league, Yao Ming appeared somewhat reserved during the All-Star Game. Jermaine O'Neal noticed this and deliberately lost the jump ball to Yao Ming.
Yao Ming passed the ball to Francis.
Francis dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, Yao Ming set a screen outside the three-point line, Francis got past the defender and passed the ball to Yao Ming, who then threw the ball directly towards the basket.
"Bang!!!"
Wei Guo, who slipped past the corner, executed an alley-oop and dunked for the score!
2-0!!!
After all, they were teammates, and the three of them cooperated very well.
Gentry glanced back at O'Neal. Even if he took care of Yao Ming, he couldn't give Yao Ming too much playing time in the All-Star Game. Yao Ming was not yet on the same level as the other players on the court.
The league's current top centers are Shaquille O'Neal and Wei Guo.
The chances of these two playing on the same team are too low, so fans are curious to see what it would be like to see Wei Guo and O'Neal team up in the All-Star Game.
Three minutes into the game...
Gentry then made substitutions, replacing Yao Ming with O'Neal and Francis with Nash.
Substituting two Rockets players reveals Gentry's true intentions: to make fans think he's a coach with a broad perspective. As for Wei Guo... if Gentry also substitutes him, he'll be criticized by fans for being inconsiderate.
The Eastern Conference All-Star team has also made roster adjustments.
The current lineup is:
Western Conference All-Stars:
Nash, Kobe, Weiguo, Duncan, O'Neal
Western Conference All-Stars:
Allen Iverson, Tracy McGrady, Vince Carter, Michael Jordan, Jermaine O'Neal
Imagine it...
If these five Western Conference All-Stars were on the same team, how many championships could they win in the league?
Western Conference All-Stars on offense.
Nash dribbles to the three-point line, stops abruptly, and jumps!
"It's a pass!"
Iverson shouted.
The court was filled with top players in the league. Without Iverson's reminder, everyone could see that Nash was passing the ball to Duncan, but Duncan didn't catch it. Instead, he flicked the ball into the air.
Wei Guo followed closely behind.
"Bang!!!"
Wei Guo dunked the ball into the basket over O'Neal.
"Holy crap..."
O'Neal chuckled and shoved Wei Guo aside, saying, "You actually dunked on your teammate!"
"I need to make you feel involved."
Wei Guo smiled and gave O'Neal a push, and the two of them pushed each other back and forth until they reached the backcourt.
......
In terms of strength, there is a significant gap between the Eastern All-Star team and the Western All-Star team.
The Eastern Conference All-Star team doesn't have many decent centers, while the Western Conference All-Star team, besides Wei Guo, Duncan, O'Neal, Garnett, Nowitzki, and Yao Ming, also has them.
but...
It's an All-Star game, everyone's just putting on an act, nobody's playing seriously.
This was Jordan's last All-Star game, and everyone wanted him to perform. The Eastern Conference All-Stars made a lot of shots.
........
The game went all the way into the fourth quarter.
The two teams continued to trade baskets, and the players seemed to have forgotten that they needed to win the game.
There are 31 seconds left in the game.
157:155!!
The Western Conference All-Stars lead by 2 points.
Iverson orchestrated the offense, Jordan ran to the three-point line, and Iverson immediately passed the ball to Jordan.
Kobe defends Jordan one-on-one!
The bench players all stood up, and Wei Guo and others stopped to watch Jordan and Kobe go one-on-one. If Jordan could hit a three-pointer, the Eastern All-Stars would be able to take the lead.
Jordan dribbled to find his rhythm, but Kobe's defense was impenetrable!
The last ball...
Playing serious defense is the greatest respect you can show to Jordan.
After several changes in pace, Jordan couldn't find any space to shoot, so he simply pulled up and took a fadeaway jumper from beyond the three-point line.
Kobe lunged to block the shot, and the basketball grazed his fingertips.
A beautiful arc...
"Whoosh!!!"
The basketball went into the net.
"ah!!!"
Jordan excitedly tugged at his jersey. It was a really cool thing that he was able to hit a three-pointer against Kobe Bryant's defense at his peak, especially at the end of his career and when he wasn't good at three-pointers.
There are 19 seconds left in the game.
157:158!!
The Western Conference All-Stars are down by one point.
Gentry didn't call a timeout. Duncan went to the baseline to inbound the ball and lobbed it to Wei Guo.
In the regular season, even when double-teamed by three or four players, Wei Guo's game-winning shot accuracy was 100%, which everyone knows.
Now...
It all depends on what choice Wei Guo makes.
As long as Wei Guo chooses to attack, even if he only scores two points, the Western All-Star team will win, and Wei Guo, who has already scored 37 points, 11 rebounds and 13 assists, will be awarded the All-Star Game MVP.
on the contrary...
If the US abandons this attack and the Eastern Conference All-Stars win, Jordan will become the All-Star MVP.
