The first thousand and ninety-four chapters legend is not dead
The 2007 All-Star Weekend started on February 18, and participants from each team basically arrived in Las Vegas on the 17th.
This year, the Pistons have four players participating in the main competition, three participating in the rookie challenge, and one participating in the three-point shooting competition.
Even the old demon Bill Lanbill, who had been retiring for a long time, had a cocoon on his butt sitting in the commentary seat, was invited to participate in the mixed competition held on the 18th.
Coincidentally, Jordan was selected as a judge in the slam dunk contest this year. The Flyingman, who has always regarded himself as a very high-profile player, also participated in the All-Star Weekend on his birthday this time.
On the 18th, it was not only the first day of the All-Star Weekend, but also Jordan's birthday.
That night, the rookie challenge was first held.
155 to 114.
The sophomore team easily defeated the rookie team, with a score difference of 41 points and a score of 269 points, setting a new record in the history of the rookie challenge.
Of course, this doesn't mean much, and every audience member who watched the game admitted that it was a fierce and exciting game.
Rookie games have always been a hotbed for future All-Stars. Among the players participating in this game, Chris Paul is undoubtedly the most promising player to enter the All-Star lineup. The quasi-triple doubles show his comprehensiveness.
In fact, if it weren't for the excessive injuries this year that seriously affected his condition, he might even be selected as the All-Star this year.
For fans, Paul's shining is just a matter of time.
Then there is a hybrid game, also known as the Star Shooting Game, Detroit played the game with Ranbill, Hill and Cash. Detroit led by three other competitors including Chicago, San Antonio and Los Angeles to win the championship.
Detroit won the championship at 50.9 seconds. The championship should have belonged to Chicago, but due to some accidents in Chicago's shooting in the final, Detroit was lucky to win the championship.
The three-point contest and the dunk contest pushed the atmosphere to a climax.
Capono proved that he was one of the best unconfrontational sharpshooters in the world, and nine-finger dunk king Gerald Green was crowned this year's dunk king with creative dunks under the gaze of Carter, Jordan, Dr. J, Kobe and others.
All individual events or fun competitions launched to increase attention are just appetizers.
Everyone on the scene knew that the highlight was tomorrow night's All-Star Game.
An All-Star Game is held every year. What’s special about this year is that this is the last All-Star Game of Dor.mo.
Since Dr. J, the alliance has attached importance to inheritance.
Dr. J passed the scepter to the Magician and Big Bird, and Big Bird passed the scepter to Jordan, who passed the scepter to Mo Mengchen on the 2003 All-Star Weekend.
To this day, 34-year-old Mo Mengchen has also chosen to draw a rest at the peak of his life. If this season is the end of the legend, who will he pass the scepter to?
No one knows, because it seems that many people have a show.
Kobe James, Anthony, who is in the same team? Or someone else?
That night, Jordan held his 44th birthday party and invited the East and West All-Stars who happened to be attending the All-Star Weekend in Las Vegas.
Everyone in the league is his junior. After being invited by him, there is no reason not to attend. Mo Mengchen is also on the list. His relationship with Jordan has progressed rapidly after the latter retired.
When Mo Mengchen arrived at the scene, Bobcats's top player Zach Randolph took the initiative to give up the position and let Mo Mengchen and Jordan sit together at close range.
The Pistons still occupy half of the All-Star Weekend.
Mo Mengchen no longer has to worry about the All-Star Weekend because he can't find anyone to speak, because there are many of them here that he brought out with him.
"I'm finally tired of all this, have a drink." Jordan raised his glass.
"It's not boring. I just happened to be old and there's nothing worth pursuing me." Mo Mengchen gently praised Jordan, "I didn't break my promise in the things I said to you back then."
Mo Mengchen's words instantly hooked Jordan back four years ago. On the eve of his last All-Star Weekend, he still held a party. That night, he talked about the future with Mo Mengchen.
Mo Mengchen didn't talk about the target directly, but he drew an "8" on the table.
Jordan realized his intention on the spot, but felt it was unrealistic. Now, the Pistons have completed eight consecutive championships, and their firepower is fully advanced towards nine consecutive championships.
"This is really unimaginable to me," Jordan said lightly, "You did something that is destined to be without a future."
If we defend our title again this year, I will retire with nine consecutive championships.
What does it mean to win nine consecutive championships? Not only does it have no future, but it is also unprecedented.
Mo Mengchen's smile made Jordan's back furious. Although people endlessly argued about who was the better player, there was no such boring argument between them.
If Jordan had asked, he would admit that Mo Mengchen had achieved higher achievements than him and was the unquestionable best player in history, but he would not admit that his strength was not as good as Mo Mengchen.
Because no one can prove that Mo Mengchen is stronger than him, people can only judge the level of data and honor.
But in terms of data, he, Mr. Qiao, has never been afraid of anyone.
(Except for ancient Danas such as Chamberlain)
However, admitting that one is inferior to one’s honor is actually equivalent to admitting one’s inferiority, because the stars across the ages cannot be compared and can only judge the level of honor by honor.
As a result, Mo Mengchen's honor has surpassed everyone, and he brought the NBA's communication and influence to a whole new level, obviously surpassing the Jordan period.
That night, Mo Mengchen and Jordan talked about the past, but not the present.
The two greatest players in NBA history sit here, no other players interject because they are not qualified to speak in conversations of this level.
Back at the hotel, Mo Mengchen rested with peace of mind and prepared for the next day's All-Star Game.
The next night, when Mo Mengchen appeared, the call at the scene reached its peak.
“dor.mo!”
“dor.mo!!”
“dor.mo!!!”
They shouted louder and louder, as if they were about to shout out their voices. Mo Mengchen gained the support of home court, and the stars from the east and west all lost their color when they stood beside him.
Afterwards, Mo Mengchen made the appearance as the starting defender of the Eastern Conference.
As soon as the game started, Duncan had a pick-and-roll cooperation with him.
Mo Mengchen was not in a hurry to perform. He shook his eyes and Duncan understood, went straight to the basket, jumped up, and dunked.
"These two have only one opportunity to cooperate every year, that is on the All-Star Weekend."
"Even so, they can understand it."
"I can't help but wonder, if these two people work together, will they achieve greater success?"
"Hey, man, what else is more successful than eight consecutive championships?"
Mo Mengchen is the only protagonist of this game. All Eastern All-Stars intend to create opportunities for him, but he is not in a hurry to attack. From the beginning, he has improved the viewing level of the game with passing.
In the West, all the defenders led by Kobe all want to be heroes and take turns to stage one-to-five plays. The defensive intensity of the All-Star Game is average. They can win many games and win a lot of prizes. But overall, the Eastern All-Stars are still more attractive.
Before Mo Mengchen left the scene, he finally satisfied the wishes of the audience and had a serious showdown with Kobe.
Kobe clapped his hands and encouraged Mo Mengchen to fight boldly.
This shit Mamba really doesn't know who she is.
Mo Mengchen's subordinates accelerated and changed directions, suddenly became stronger, dribbling the ball during the marching, shaking Kobe two meters, hit a jump shot, and threw it to Kobe: "You can't even defend me, how can you win the championship?"
This trash talk ignited the passion on the field. As a result, as soon as Mo Mengchen finished igniting the fire, the coach replaced him and rested, which made Kobe rush over and wanted to fight for the bayonet.
The battle between the stars from the east and west has only increased the intensity of the game by several levels.
During the intermission, Beyoncé, who came to the scene as a guest, was invited to come on stage and sing Ethan's famous song "Legend Immortal".
This moment is just like Maria Carey sang "Hero" for Jordan back then.
The familiar melody sounded, Mo Mengchen had been blocked for many years. Although he had never announced the launch of the music scene, he had not released a new work for many years. Music fans generally believe that he shifted his focus to his basketball career.
Listening to the familiar melody, Mo Mengchen's thoughts returned to the past with Beyoncé's singing.
He, who had nothing, tried his best to get attribute points in order to become stronger.
He did not play basketball enough and did not work as a part-time doctor enough. His short career as a singer is an extremely important part of his life. Without this experience, he would not have made great progress in the NBA arena.
It is the singer's attribute reward that has quickly improved and led his team to the top and win the championship in the fourth year.
Many years have passed in this flash.
After Beyoncé finished singing a song, Mo Mengchen was invited to go on stage. Like Jordan back then, he wanted to say something to newcomers who were just entering the league and the audience on the scene.
With so many eyes gathered on him, Mo Mengchen suddenly became a little nervous. He lived with such attention for thirteen years, but this was the first time he became nervous.
"To be honest, as someone who almost destroyed his career by injuries, I never thought that it would be today." Mo Mengchen spoke slowly, with a rare gentle smile that did not make people feel uncomfortable or uneasy. It was the kind of relaxing smile. "I hope I have set a good example, I hope my story can inspire others, and I hope everyone will not give up hope."
"Be brave, everything is possible. If you don't believe it," Mo Mengchen smiled, "Please look at the dor.mo. He was once as helpless and weak as you. He proved that he could destroy you only himself. Thanks to everyone for his help, I will not stop here. For me, turning this page is just a new beginning."
Without inheritance, no thanks to the league, and even no words to his teammates and other players, Mo Mengchen's speech ended.
At the beginning of the second half, the scores of both sides rose in turn.
Six minutes before the end of the fourth quarter, Mo Mengchen returned to the court again. At that time, the Eastern Conference All-Stars had an 11-point lead.
Kobe came up and let someone pull him away. Before he could do anything, he imitated Mo Mengchen and made a gesture of "Please witness" to make the audience climax and then compete in a one-on-one fight.
Mo Mengchen's current defense is difficult to defend against Kobe at his peak. He was simply beaten on the spot and scored a layup.
If you don’t fight back after being beaten, would you still be a man?
Without saying anything, Kobe scored on him, Mo Mengchen insisted on finding Kobe to play a ball in a good manner.
Seeing this scene, Hill off the court sighed: "How old is this person? Why is he so angry?"
Penny Hardaway, who had fought with him for thirteen years, said: "If he doesn't fight back, he will not be a dor.mo."
Yes, this guy, he is so competitive.
Mo Mengchen couldn't pass Kobe's start, and the rhythm could not change. When he hit the back, he could only call a pick-and-roll and immediately took action when he got out of the gap.
Repaid a ball.
Starting from Kobe, the outside stars of the West came up to challenge Mo Mengchen one by one.
This is a repertoire show to bid farewell to the old seniors.
Although Mo Mengchen is not a respected senior, the younger generations are far more afraid of him than respect him. If they have the chance, each of them hopes to swallow Mo Mengchen alive.
They came up to fight one after another, but the success rate was not high. Instead, Mo Mengchen played very seriously. He couldn't help but call a pick-and-roll, and he had to throw the ball into the basket anyway.
As the score difference goes by, the suspense of this game gradually disappears.
In the end, the Eastern Stars defeated the Western Stars 139-122.
Chapter completed!
