Chapter 319 The First All-Star Tour
When warming up before the game, Kobe also taught Xie Kai the back-up technique!
Xie Kai felt that winning or losing the All-Star Game was not that important. He could learn some skills and understanding of the game from the best players in the league. This is where he gained the most.
Xie Kai and Westbrook are newcomers after all, so they are still very shy.Kobe and Nowitzki are both seniors. They have played too many All-Star games, and they are already very familiar with this game.
In the lineup of the Western Stars, there is also Westbrook University teammate Kevin Love, and the younger and less senior than the three of them is the No. 3 pick in 09, Blake Griffin.
Strictly speaking, Griffin can't be counted as having played in the league for more than one season. This season is his real rookie season.Because he was reimbursed for the 1-2008 season.
Griffin was selected for this All-Star Game because of his dunks and fans, and because of his selection as a Clippers player.After all, this All-Star Game is held in Los Angeles, and apart from the Lakers, if the Clippers don't have a player selected, it will be somewhat unreasonable.
In the end, it was "Stone Buddha" Duncan who replaced Yao Ming in the Western Conference!
Before the start of the game, the well-known NBA sideline reporter Craig Sager conducted an interview with Xie Kai.
"Hello Kane, please allow me to interview you a few questions!" Craig Sager said.
Xie Kai smiled and nodded: "Hello Craig!"
Craig Sager asked: "This is your first All-Star game, how are you feeling now?"
Xie Kai answered truthfully: "I'm very excited. The All-Star is my dream. Now that my dream has come true, I didn't believe it was true at first. I participated in the Rookie Challenge last year, so I'm in a good mood now." smooth."
"This year, there are less than 1 votes to enter the starting lineup. Do you have the confidence to enter the starting lineup next year?"
Xie Kai nodded: "I will continue to work hard, strive to perform better, let more fans like me, support me, and then vote for me, let me enter the starting lineup!"
"Do you have confidence in the MVP?"
Xie Kai shook his head and said, "I don't want to do this for now."
The game started soon.
The intensity of the All-Star game is extremely low, not even as good as the preseason games.The participants are all stars, everyone looks up and down, there is no need to fight for real in a game that has nothing to do with interests, not to mention that it will increase the risk of injury, and it is not in line with the status of a star.
In this kind of game, there are a lot of fancy dunks, ultra-long 3-pointers, and cool coordination.
The fans also like to watch these. Although they have been complaining about the declining competitiveness of the All-Star Game, everyone also likes the stars to play those tricks!I also like to watch those cool dunks!
If it is done with real knives and guns, it will be like the playoffs, with lower scores, more fouls, and relatively constipated offense.
Xie Kai and Westbrook appeared together with 4 minutes left in the first quarter.They replaced Durant and Paul respectively.
This is the first time in Xie Kai's career that he is on the floor of the NBA All-Star Game. It is absolutely impossible to say that he is not excited.Fortunately, I appeared on the stage with my good brother Westbrook, and it feels really good to appear in this way.
Chen Guixiang, who was wearing the Xie Kai All-Star No. 23 jersey, screamed excitedly, cheering for her son.
Zhou Jing is the first time to watch the All-Star Game live, she knows how much a ticket here costs, and she knows that if it is not because of Xie Kai, she would not be willing to spend so much money to watch an All-Star Game .Seeing Chen Guixiang's excited appearance, she felt the other party's support and love for her son, and she couldn't help but get excited, and her impression of this person who might be her mother-in-law in the future got better.
Westbrook dribbled over and wanted to give Xie Kailai an alley-oop when he came up, but was destroyed by James in the East!
Pity!
Kobe Bryant made a fallback jumper for the Western Stars!
The fans in the stands cheered endlessly. You must know that Kobe is the host player, and he is also the player with the highest voice for MVP in this game.
In the NBA, there is an unwritten rule that generally the host player will be awarded the MVP, and his teammates will also take the initiative to pass the ball to him and let him score more points.
Of course, it doesn’t happen every time. After all, the MVP is only eligible for the player with the highest score of the winning team. The opponent is naturally unwilling to easily hand over the victory to others, so a high score is not 100% sure to win this award.
Xie Kai played with patience, he didn't want those seniors to think that he, an all-star rookie, was a stunned young man who only knew about personal performance.
In comparison, Westbrook played more unrestrained.
No matter how forbearing Xie Kai played, he soon got a chance to score. He slipped the baseline, received a pass from Westbrook, and dunked with one hand!
Cheers came and went. Xie Kai is also a rising star, a native of Los Angeles, and his popularity here is quite high.
The defense in the All-Star Game was indeed too loose. Xie Kai passed those All-Stars on the opposite side, it was really like passing a stake, it was too easy.
Of course, it's the same for the other party's side.
The scores on both sides are very high, and the mistakes are basically unforced, and they are all made for the sake of difficult cooperation.
In the end, after a night of competition, the Western Stars defeated the Eastern Stars 148:143.
The star of the Lakers won the MVP of the game!
In Xie Kai's first trip to the All-Star Game, he handed over 15 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists and 1 steal, and his performance was quite satisfactory.
After the game, during the awards ceremony, Kobe held up the All-Star Game MVP trophy.
Xie Kai sent applause and blessings to Kobe. He knew that his first trip to the All-Star Game was about to come to an official end.
After the game, Chen Guixiang wanted to keep Zhou Jing at home for a few days, but Xie Kai refused: "He's going back to study, so what's the point of living in our house?"
Chen Guixiang can't do anything, she can't delay her prospective daughter-in-law's study, right?When she was parting, she exhorted and exhorted thousands of times, almost treating Zhou Jing as her own daughter.
Xie Kai felt that his status was so low that he was on the same level as his father, but he didn't care, instead he was happy and quiet.
In the NBA, the All-Star Game is a watershed moment.Before the trade deadline, many teams will make trades.Those teams that are going to be bad will trade players with high transaction value and not in the team's future plan, and then go to get some future assets, or exchange expiring contracts, so that they can have more during the offseason. Cap space, so that you can chase those big-name free agents.
The Grizzlies are stuck in a team that doesn't need to be bad. They are currently ranked 7th in the West and have a good chance of making the playoffs.But they're also unlikely to make big deals.The most likely thing for them is to make minor repairs, and then use this lineup to hit the playoffs and see what they can do in the playoffs.
