On the afternoon of the 12th, the league arranged some activities. All the All-Stars went to an arranged community to engage in activities with some young fans.
In the evening, a group of all-stars had another party, but they were divided into several small groups, each playing their own way.
Through the party last night, Lao Wang also united some people around him and played together in the evening.
"Old K, were you happy yesterday? You actually took away the most beautiful actress at the party." O'Neal said with a look of jealousy.
"It's no use being jealous, people don't like to be with black people." Lao Wang chuckled.
"This is racial discrimination!" an angry O'Neal muttered.
Lao Wang laughed and was too lazy to pay attention to this idiot. Do you still want to force a white A-list actress into your bed?
As far as he knows, there are very few white actresses who are willing to be with black people. Just look at the results of the couple Barkley and Maureen. Maureen has been discriminated against. If any white movie star is with O'Neal, then
Similar results.
On the 13th, the NBA All-Star Weekend officially begins.
In the dunk contest, Timberwolves star Isiah Leder dunked with a crotch switch and won the gold cup.
Next, is the Rookie Challenge.
This is an all-star event that just started this year. It is divided into genius team and passion team, all composed of rookie players who entered the league in 1993.
In the end, the Genius team defeated the Passion team, and the Magic's Anfernee Hardaway won the honor of the most valuable player of the game.
On the 14th, the 1994 NBA All-Star Game Day.
There were group activities arranged in the morning and afternoon that day, which were also shows.
After lunch, each All-Star signed ten basketballs, which were given to some children.
After Lao Wang signed a few balls, he suddenly remembered something. The last time he promised to bring a Jordan's signed basketball and Jordan's signed sneakers to Sister Wang Xiaoli's son Sun Yue, he forgot about this, but now he thinks about it.
, I have a headache!
He turned around and glanced at Jordan who was signing the autograph. He had slapped this old bastard and ruined his dynasty. If he went over to beg him, wouldn't he be laughed to death?
"What to do?"
He was a little anxious. If he went back with bare hands, wouldn't he be laughed at by that little kid?
"Ahem!"
After signing his ten balls, he coughed twice, stood up and walked to Jordan's table.
Jordan was almost done, with only one stone left in his hand. When he saw him coming, he said with disgust: "Can you stand a little farther? You are affecting my mood."
Lao Wang grabbed a ball, glanced at the signature on it, and said with a smile: "Jordan, I want this ball."
Jordan was startled. He didn't know what Lao Wang meant. He definitely didn't think Lao Wang was his fan.
Other people also looked over, wondering what would happen to these enemies.
"I asked for it for a young fan. He is your fan, not mine." Lao Wang had no choice but to tell the truth.
This is the only way he can do it, to ask for it openly and directly.
Anyway, Sun Yue is a fan of Jordan. If Jordan doesn't give it, he can't do anything. If it spreads, he won't be embarrassed, because it is well known that he and Jordan have a bad relationship, and this is not what he wants.
It's what Jordan's fans want. If Jordan doesn't give it to him, that's Jordan's problem.
Jordan shrugged. Although he hated Lao Wang, since it was his fans who wanted it, he didn't say anything. He picked up another ball and signed his name, completing ten.
"Ahem, by the way, there are also your signature sneakers." Lao Wang said shamelessly.
Jordan glanced sideways at Lao Wang, "I've given you a lot of balls, but you still have to push your limits. Have you forgotten that you slapped me in the face and made me lose face?"
"Get out!" He spat out one word.
"I didn't bring your sneakers. Give me the pair on your feet signed with your name." Lao Wang said to himself.
"Pfft!"
Some people couldn't help laughing.
"Did I give you face?"
The veins on Jordan's head throbbed violently. He moved his hand and smashed the signed ball towards Lao Wang.
"Crack!"
Lao Wang caught the ball with one hand and said with a straight face: "If you don't give it to me, I'll take it myself."
"A robbery is a robbery, what can you take?" Charles Oakley sneered.
"Ha ha……"
Someone next to me couldn't help it and started laughing.
Jordan's face was also twitching. He had realized it. It was such a good opportunity to humiliate this bastard. Why was he angry? Isn't it appropriate to control it? So he also laughed.
"What the hell!"
Lao Wang cursed and said unhappily: "Tell me, what conditions do you need to give it to me?"
"Please!"
Jordan smiled with disdain.
Lao Wang's face twitched, and he cursed Sun Yue, that little bastard, for wanting something bad, for wanting something from a bastard like Jordan, wouldn't this make him embarrassed?
"It's impossible to ask you. In exchange, let me do you a favor." He said.
"How can you help me?" Jordan asked doubtfully.
Lao Wang chuckled and said: "Our team is a bit reluctant to defend the title this year. Why don't I snipe the mosaic for you in the Western Conference, try to reach the tiebreaker, and consume their physical energy, so you can take the opportunity to win?"
"Old K, you are really nothing!"
Dameng was so furious that he stood up, grabbed a ball on the table and smashed it over.
"Crack!"
Jordan grabbed the ball with his backhand and said with a smile on his face: "OK, I agree to your condition."
"Hurry up." Lao Wang urged.
"You two bastards, don't even think about joining forces to kill us." Dameng said angrily.
Others were looking at the joke, and everyone knew that it was not a joke, and that Dameng was also joking.
Jordan did not take off his shoes. He had an event in the afternoon, so he brought two pairs of prepared sneakers with him. After signing a pair, he gave them to Lao Wang.
Both of them knew that this was just a superficial reason to give the other a step down.
Without this matter, the Suns would have to fight tooth and nail when they met the Mosaics in the playoffs. Wang Tiejun said this to give Jordan a reason to agree to him.
The reason why Jordan agreed was mainly because Old K asked for the sneakers for a young fan, who was his fan. If word got out that he used this opportunity to embarrass Old K, he would be the one to be blamed.
Because if someone is embarrassed by you because of your little fan, not only will he not be laughed at, but he will be praised, so he must agree.
After participating in the activities and having dinner in the afternoon, all the All-Stars took the bus to the Timberwolves' home arena.
This arena called Target Center can accommodate more than 17,000 people. It was opened in October 1990 and cost 100 million US dollars.
This arena is also the first completely non-smoking arena in the United States. At the same time, like Madison Square Garden, it can be converted into a theater with 2 to 7,000 seats, which is very high-end.
Its current owner is also the owner and management of the Timberwolves.
This year's All-Star coach in the Eastern Conference is Phil Jackson of the Bulls, and George Karl of the SuperSonics in the Western Conference.
Lao Wang entered the locker room with the Western Conference All-Stars and changed his clothes very comfortably.
He is not worried about being isolated on the court tonight. He has become familiar with these people in the past two days. Even half of the All-Stars in the Eastern Conference are familiar with him and have exchanged contact information. There is no way he will be isolated by Jordan.
But he wouldn't expect any good performance tonight. The two guards in the Western Conference are both scoring maniacs, Glider is the swingman, and the other Mitch Richmond is the shooting guard. He doesn't have the luxury of expecting these two people.
How many balls can I feed him?
The second attack is what he should strive for, but that guy Dameng should fight with him, which is not a good thing.
At eight o'clock, the starting lineup begins.
As the DJ music played, the stars from the East appeared first, then the West.
O'Neal's appearance last year was quite satisfactory, but this time, he had some more gimmicks. He twisted his plump figure to the beat of the music, and his very enchanting dance appeared in the sight of countless people.
"Oh ho!"
The scene was filled with screams and cheers, and the response was very enthusiastic.
Behind him was Lao Wang. He was unprepared, but he couldn't let O'Neal's big fat shark dominate the limelight. With an idea, he shouted to O'Neal outside: "Shark, cooperate."
"What do you want to do?" Shark asked confused.
"You'll know soon."
As he spoke, he walked out in time with the beat, but the steps he took were not dance steps, but martial steps, and he just walked according to the beat of the music.
"call!"
He came in front of O'Neal, twisted his waist and swung his legs, and gave Bruce Lee's signature side kick, one of which almost hit the former's face.
"oh!"
O'Neal was startled, and then his acting talent exploded instantly, and he fell back in shock.
Lao Wang repeatedly stepped forward, and caught up with a few more whip kicks, whipping left and right, up and down. His dazzling kicks immediately won the cheers of countless fans, and O'Neal's cooperation was also very good.
He was beaten back and forth.
Then he came up with a series of Bruce Lee's hooks, and O'Neal also cooperated and was beaten until his whole body was shaking as if he had been electrocuted.
The performance of the two received full applause and was considered a very successful appearance. David Stern, who was sitting on the sidelines, was nodding and applauding with satisfaction.
"Not bad, not bad, Tie Jun is very open-minded." Zhang Lili shouted happily in the CCTV live broadcast booth.
"The big shark's cooperation is pretty good, did they discuss it?" Su Qun said with a smile.
"Maybe so." Lao Zhang smiled.
There were celebrities from all walks of life on the sidelines, big names gathered together, and the center of the target was decorated with stars.
"It's so unfair. I must have shot him in seconds."
When O'Neal saw Lao Wang hugging Onona Reed on the sidelines, he muttered in frustration.
"Boy, what did you say?" Dameng next to him felt as if he heard something and asked casually.
"No, I didn't say anything."
Almost leaking the secret, O'Neal ran away in a hurry.
"Beasts and Fairies."
In the front row, like O'Neal, Johnny Depp grunted.
Why is it so sour?
Next to him, Tom Cruise glanced at Depp, then at Lao Wang and Winona Ryder, and suddenly he couldn't help laughing.
He also attended the party the night before, and saw with his own eyes that Old K won the love of others and took Red away.
After some sessions, at 8:30, the main game started, with the ten starting players taking the field.
The head coaches of both teams did not arrange any tactics. This is the All-Star stage. Normally, the first half is the performance time.
"Of the five All-Stars in the Eastern Conference, the Bulls account for three of them, and there is one on the bench. They are so popular that they lost the championship. The Bulls are also the most popular team in the league." Zhang Liang sighed.
The game starts with a jump ball.
Lao Wang knew that he couldn't jump O'Neal, so he asked Dameng to jump up.
"Crack!"
Sure enough, O'Neal took the lead in taking the ball away, and Dameng, who was a little slower, took the lead.
The Eastern All-Stars attacked. O'Neal landed at the top of the key and asked for the ball. BJ Armstrong actually gave it to him. The big fat man received the ball and actually scored a three-pointer. Not only were the All-Stars on and off the court stunned, but the scene was also stunned.
The fans were dumbfounded.
Under the basket, Lao Wang reacted quickly, put his feet to the ground, turned around, and caught Dameng on the opposite side behind him. At this time, the basketball hit the basket, and he quickly rose up and grabbed the ball with one hand.
"Ha ha……"
The people at the scene burst out laughing.
"What a bastard!"
Dameng was so angry that his nose became thick, and said angrily: "Old K, I am your teammate, why are you blocking me?"
"I am the center, and the paint area is mine. You picked up Barkley's power forward position. Get out and stay out of my way. Aren't you always floating outside anyway?"
Lao Wang passed the ball out and ran forward with a disgusted look on his face.
"..."
Dameng was so angry that he almost vomited blood. I am a super center, me, me, me?
When he came to the basket, Lao Wang pointed at Dameng who wanted to come in and shouted: "I am the starting center, you are outside, the power forward position is outside."
"Ha ha……"
Everyone who heard it, whether it was the All-Stars on the court, the media reporters behind the baseline, or the fans, all burst into laughter.
Dameng's mouth was closed tightly. If he didn't close it tightly, the blood inside would probably spurt out.
But he really didn't get in, because there was really no space under the basket. The two giant beasts, Old K and O'Neal, completely occupied the place. He couldn't squeeze in at all, and he was afraid of being trampled to death if he went in.
"You go out too, who allowed you to come in?" Lao Wang began to push O'Neal.
"I'm the defender." O'Neal yelled angrily.
"The defenders have to get out too," Lao Wang said arrogantly.
"..."
O'Neal was speechless, I am the owner of this paint area, okay? I will stay here tonight, let's see what you can do to me.
However, it was Lao Wang who got out first. When the three seconds came to attack, he ran out by himself.
"Ha ha……"
There was another round of laughter.
The first two quarters were played in a cheerful atmosphere. At 65:58, the Eastern All-Stars led by 7 points.
Lao Wang played 13 minutes in the first half, scoring 6 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist on 3-of-3 shooting.
There were not many opportunities. Two of the three offenses were second offenses after grabbing offensive rebounds, but this is normal. The center is not the protagonist in the All-Star Game. Jordan's gorgeous perimeter players are the protagonists.
Moreover, the Suns eliminated the SuperSonics in the last Western Conference Finals, and he violently beat Rainman Kemp off the court. Head coach George Karl didn't like him and didn't give him more playing time.
During the intermission, a guest performer came on stage, this year it was Madonna.
The diva who scared Rodman is still as strong as ever. As soon as the song was played, the audience kept cheering.
In the third quarter, Lao Wang still didn't get much chance. George Karl only gave him 5 minutes and replaced him.
In 18 minutes, he made 5 of 5 shots, 1 of 2 free throws, and scored 11 points, 5 rebounds, and 2 assists.
After he got the ball under the basket, even O'Neal didn't guard him very much, because he knew his strong style. It would be uneconomical to compete with him and get injured by him in the All-Star Game.
However, although he doesn't care about the All-Star statistics, he is not very happy. After finally tossing an All-Star starter, you make me sit on the bench all the time. Who can bear this?
When passing in front of Crazy Karl at the end of the game, he muttered intentionally: "It seems that in this year's playoffs, the SuperSonics are going to have a good time. Let's have an off-court duel with Sean Kemp first?"
When George Karl heard this, his face twitched and he gave Lao Wang a fierce look.
At the end of the third quarter, 95:82, the Eastern Conference had a 13-point lead.
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, George Karl still had some concerns. After all, Lao Wang was the starter and was not given too much time. He came on the field from the beginning. Once he came on the field, he never came off.
However, he also deliberately sent John Stockton, who also failed to finish the quarter.
The third quarter was a bit playful, but at the beginning of the final quarter, both sides began to take it seriously, especially the lagging West.
"ball!"
Lao Wang held O'Neal in the low post on the left wing to get the ball.
But he shouted in vain. The black mailman is still lying in the hospital. The Jazz may not even make the playoffs. The white John Stockton hates him to death at this time. How can he pass the ball to him?
"Bang!"
After receiving the ball, Sprewell shot a three-pointer and lost it.
O'Neal, who returned to the basket, protected the backcourt rebound. At this time, Jordan was stepping down quickly. He raised one hand to start a fast break.
"Crack!"
Lao Wang next to him was lucky. He reached out and slapped the ball, and the ball jumped into the sky.
"mine."
He got in position before O'Neal and grabbed the ball.
The moment he landed, with his back to the basket, he hit an iron mountain. O'Neal, who weighed 6 kilograms more, was no match for him without acceleration and explosive power, and was knocked back half a step by him.
The next moment, he turned around, pressed O'Neal's shoulder with his left hand, and smashed the ball with his right hand.
"Come down!"
At this moment, O'Neal's eyes were splitting.
Old K, you are really not a good person. You actually wanted to dunk on me during the All-Star Game?
His hands instantly grabbed Lao Wang's jersey and pulled it down.
"It's over!"
However, when Lao Wang pressed his left hand on his shoulder and did not pull it down, he knew something was wrong.
"Bang!"
The next moment, the basket above his head was smashed, and he was dunked in the All-Star Game.
"Damn it, old K, you're using me as a backdrop again, I'm going to kill you!"
O'Neal breathed fire from his seven orifices, and swung his old fist at Lao Wang with all his teeth and claws.
"Just this once, I won't detain you next time." Lao Wang laughed and ran away.
"Do you want another time?" The angry sharks chased Lao Wang and beat him.
When chasing the opponent's basket, Jordan's voice sounded from behind: "Catch the ball."
O'Neal stopped at his feet, turned around and saw the ball flying over. He jumped up, grabbed the ball with both hands, and smashed it.
"Bang!"
A heavy dunk with both hands, and the basket exploded.
"Give it back to you."
After completing a heavy dunk, the shark became less angry.
In this All-Star Game, the Eastern Conference eventually won. Jordan scored 32 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists in 41 minutes, winning the second All-Star AMVP in his career.
Lao Wang played 30 minutes, making 7 of 8 shots and 3 of 5 free throws. He scored 17 points, 9 rebounds and 3 assists, ending his first All-Star trip.
The next day, several people returned to Phoenix.
In the next few days, the Suns lost consecutive games to the Trail Blazers and Lakers at home, with 34 wins and 14 losses, firmly occupying the third place position in the Western Conference.
The Sonics lost two games in a row after the All-Star break and were overtaken by the Mosaics, who had 40 wins and 8 losses, ranking first in the Western Conference and second in the league.
The SuperSonics have 39 wins and 9 losses, second in the Western Conference, and have 5 more wins than the Suns.
After beating the Lakers, the Suns went to Houston overnight, where they will face the Mosaics in back-to-back games.
This is the third regular season game between the two teams this season, and there will be another game after that. Currently, the two teams have one win, one loss, and a tie.
