As early as late January, the NBA announced the Eastern and Western All-Star rosters and starting bench lineups.

Eastern side:

Eastern starting lineup: Michael Jordan, Shaquille O'Neal, Scottie Pippen, Isiah Thomas, Larry Johnson

Eastern Conference bench: Mark Price, Patrick Ewing, Dominic Wilkins, Alonzo Mourning, Larry Nance, Joe Dumars, Detrev Schramm

husband

That's right, only Alonzo of the New York Hans made it to the All-Star Game.

Let me say it again, Michael Jordan is still the top vote-getter this year.

Western Conference starting lineup: Karl Malone, Hakeem Olajuwon, Charles Barkley, John Stockton, Clyde Drexler

Western Conference substitute lineup: Dan Marley, Tim Hardaway, Danny Manning, Terry Burt, Sean Elliott, David Robinson, Sean Kemp

…

February 21, 1993

Today is the start of the All-Star game, and it is also the highlight.

This year's All-Star Game will be held in Salt Lake City, home to the Utah Jazz - the Triangle Center Arena.

To be honest, Larry Miller doesn't welcome Bruce to come to the Triangle Center Arena to watch the game.

Didn’t you see that brat Bruce running to Jerry Sloan to be a bitch as soon as he came here?

Even the other bosses sitting around with Larry Miller found his unhappy expression funny.

Larry Miller, do you have the nerve to argue with a child?

There is no other way, Larry Miller can only hold back his resentment and look for opportunities to deal with Bruce later.

…

I won’t go into detail about the first releases of the East and West.

It was finally time to watch the All-Star Game, and Bruce couldn't hide his excitement as he waited for the game to start.

In the Eastern Conference dugout, Pat Riley, as the Eastern All-Star head coach, was explaining his tactical arrangements to the players!

Bruce was disdainful of this person. He was so insidious that everyone knew about Wade.

When Bruce saw this starting lineup, he already understood that Mourning's playing time might be minimal.

After all, Riley is the head coach of the New York Knicks. When a local derby makes you feel powerful, stop dreaming. He is not that high-minded.

The head coach in the Western Conference is Tang Shuai. Bruce still likes this coach, but he is too loyal to the Houston Rockets. Otherwise, Bruce would have considered him as the head coach.

…

The game is about to start, and players from the East and West are coming on stage one after another.

As players who can be selected for the All-Star list, every player has high enough popularity, so the fans at the scene naturally cheered enthusiastically.

The referee has already stood at the midfield line and signaled the players on both sides to prepare to start jumping the ball.

O'Neal in the East and the big dream in the West are all ready.

O'Neal stuck his butt out naughtily, and Dameng laughed faintly when he saw it. This image was really funny.

When the referee threw the ball up into the sky, Dameng didn't move. Since O'Neal wanted to play, let him play as much as he wanted. O'Neal flicked the ball and successfully moved the ball to the back. In the first round, the Eastern team took the lead.

Although this is the All-Star game, considering that the players on the bench have to be given playing time, the main players also play symbolically, and in the fourth quarter, they really use their full strength.

As the biggest player in the Eastern Conference, Jordan should launch this first attack.

Didn't he just score a goal and it was no use provoking the players in the Western Conference.

Drexler, the glider in the Western Conference, was not lying in the corner. He and Jordan staged an offensive battle. Both of them made pull-up jump shots, and the scores kept alternating.

As Jordan's younger brother, Pippen certainly had to fight for his eldest brother. When he received the ball, he would go directly to the boss. His licking-dog nature was fully exposed.

O'Neal is also competing with Dameng in the paint. Unlike Mourning, Dameng's strength is currently stronger than O'Neal, and Dream's footsteps can also make O'Neal run around.

If Jordan, Pippen, and O'Neal are a small team, then the Smiling Assassin and Auntie can't fit in. The two of them are more awkward now. Fortunately, the Smiling Assassin doesn't look down on people like Jordan at first, but

Auntie is miserable. Among these ten people, except for O'Neal who has just entered the league and can take the opportunity to bully the rookie, he dares to mess with the others.

The two of them can only make a sense of presence on the court, otherwise they will be really embarrassed to see others. After all, they are the main players in the All-Star Game.

However, the two of them are not good matchups. The Utah Jazz's "double evil" is waiting for them.

Stockton's defense made it difficult for the Smiling Assassin, and Auntie was even worse. The enemy there was even more powerful than the Postman's iron elbow. I didn't see the Postman's well-developed muscles. It's scary to think about it.

Until the end of the first quarter.

The score between the East and West was 30:38. The Eastern team fell behind by 8 points, while Jordan scored 12 points and O'Neal only scored 8 points.

Jordan was sitting on the player's bench looking at the data, thinking to himself, is this really trying to trick me? What's going on with these two people, were they evacuated by the Utah Jazz?

…

The second quarter of the game begins.

Taking into account the feelings of other players selected for the All-Star Game, Riley first replaced O'Neal and the Smiling Assassin, and it was time for his team's Gorilla to appear. Also on the field was Price from the Cavaliers.

Players were also changed in the Western Conference. Dameng and Barkley were replaced, and the substitutes were Admiral and Oriot.

Because the Smiling Assassin was replaced, there was no pressure on Stockton in the West. Price had not yet reached the level of the Smiling Assassin, and Stockton calmly controlled the entire game.

The aunt on the other side was miserable, and she continued to fight with the postman. Look, she almost cried.

Three minutes into the second quarter, Auntie was finally replaced, and she seemed to have tears on her face when she came off the field...

It's such a bully. Is it easy for me? Me!

Mourning is on the stage. Riley wants Mourning to carry the postman. How can this be done?

According to the current state of the postman, the aunt has been beaten down. What does Moning want to do at this time? Could it be...

After Bruce thought about it, he immediately stood up and looked in the direction of Riley.

Riley felt a malicious look coming from him and looked at Bruce, then smiled and continued watching the game on the court.

Both of them understand each other tacitly!

As a rival in the same city, it was inevitable that he would resort to some dirty tricks, but Bruce didn't expect that Riley would dare to do such a thing.

This is to reimburse Moning for her surgery. She is trying to be a postman. Her character will definitely be tough and will not boo anyone.

This is to take away the salary from the bottom of the cauldron, take away my salary!

Pat Riley, with his good tactics, is worthy of being one of the most ruthless general managers in NBA history.

Bruce stood in the audience and watched every move on the court with gritted teeth.

Sitting next to him, Sloan was also puzzled as to why he suddenly sensed this boy's "murderous intent".

Bruce had no choice but to run to the court immediately and tell Mourning not to confront the postman.

But is it possible?

Of course it's impossible. The NBA clearly stipulates that when players are playing on the court, no unrelated person can enter the court. Except for the head coach who has the privilege to enter the court, anyone else will be punished.

If a substitute player enters the court without the referee's permission, the team will be given a "T" and the player will be ejected.

Not to mention that if the owner or fans enter the stadium during game time, they will definitely be severely punished, and some may even be banned from the stadium for life. (Of course, this depends on the situation. If fans run into the stadium to provoke If you insult the opponent's players, or even beat them, that's what you'll end up with.)

Bruce was afraid that this would happen. Once he stepped onto the court, fines from the league would follow.

Bruce doesn't dare to bet!

At the end of the second quarter, the score between the two sides reached 68:73, and the West still led the East by 5 points.

Fortunately, nothing happened to Mourning, otherwise Bruce wouldn't know what to do.

Bruce sat down temporarily, but his worry was still written on his face.

Sloan and Paul Allen were also nearby asking what happened to Bruce.

Bruce didn't say anything, he just said it was okay.

How could such a dispensable thing be said, and even if it were said, who would believe it?

During halftime, Bruce still chatted with Sloan and Paul Allen, talking about his words and deeds in the Eastern Kingdom, and also told a few jokes he heard on the Internet in his previous life.

It made both of them laugh out loud.

Larry Miller next to me is even more uncomfortable. This guy came to my territory and hooked up with my people. Does he want to die? Then I will help you!

He glanced at the staff member, and the man immediately understood, walked to the Western Conference players' bench, handed the postman a bottle of water, and then licked his lips.

Malone, that stupid guy, knew that this was a convoluted thing, but he finally figured it out after Stockton reminded him.

Looking towards the Eastern players' bench, both of them looked at Mourning.

No one saw this scene. Bruce was chatting enthusiastically. He didn't even watch the cheerleading performance during the intermission. No one noticed this.

…

The third quarter of the game then begins.

The Eastern Conference continued to make substitutions, and both the old gangster and his younger brother were substituted.
To be continued...
