Chapter 1920 Orlando Blacksmith Shop (Part 1)

After a rookie game that was completely inconsistent with expectations, the 2012 All-Stars also came to their second game day.

The individual event has produced countless wonderful shots. It is also the most exciting day of the All-Star Game in the minds of many fans and the most popular day. Many fans even believe that the individual event is the essence of the All-Star Weekend.

It’s a commonplace topic: All-stars are difficult to beat. It's silly to play too hastily. For example, in the second quarter of the rookie game, Irving dribbled the ball 30 to 50 times without mercy, and finally pulled one from the free throw line. The nine people around him were embarrassed to watch; too loose and boring. , I saw the scoreboard running like water. After the game, I closed my eyes and thought about it, but I couldn't think of anything. There was only one word in my mind:

Slightly~~~

To play the game lively and smoothly, just like singing in a opera, I will sing a high-pitched voice and you will pick up the tune. This difficulty is much more difficult than playing a formal game with real swords and guns. So why do you like O'Neal, even Some people say that there will be no All-Stars after O'Neal, because O'Neal can always do things that meet public expectations on such occasions, making the entire game entertaining, exciting and intense.

This is what Ji Feng has often done in recent years. This is how Ji Feng reached the peak in the rookie game, and it also made latecomers like Irving and Griffin extremely painful.

It's not that they are too incompetent, but that Ji Feng is too powerful.

But how many people like Ji Feng and O'Neal are there?

Therefore, it is common for the All-Stars to not progress very well or not meet public expectations. This has also made everyone less interested in the main game in recent years, but full of expectations for individual competitions.

Because individual events are different.

In individual events, as long as you have a skill, you can give fans and spectators the purest enjoyment.

In the past few years from 2008 to 2012, the individual competition has undoubtedly reached a historical peak. If you are a die-hard All-Star fan, you can count the wonderful scenes in the All-Star individual competition in recent years with your eyes closed. .

Ji Feng Free Throw Line Series, three consecutive perfect scores in the Three-Point Contest, double record breaking in the Skills Contest, Howard returns as Superman, McGee dunks with both hands, Griffin leaps over the car, Little Potato Helium Star returns, Shooting Star shoots against a sniper …

Too many.

This is naturally attributed to Ji Feng. In three years, he swept the All-Stars and became the first All-Star Grand Slam in history. He also came three times. Such an achievement is naturally shocking to the past and the present. It has never been done before, and it is estimated that it will be difficult for others to come.

But the excitement does not only depend on Ji Feng. His opponents are undoubtedly the leaders of this era. For example, Howard and Nate Robinson, who have been running with him in the dunk contest, met Ji Feng. Their dunks were placed on the In other eras, it would be easy to win a championship, which is definitely better than most dunks. And the top guards who lost to Ji Feng, their strength should not be underestimated.

After Yu Liang, they lost the chance to reach the top because of Ji Feng, but Yu Liang also raised the excitement of the individual competition by several levels.

Although the last Griffins were a little stretched, fortunately Ji Feng was so good in the three-point contest that the individual competitions were still exciting.

However, this season, Ji Feng will not participate in any individual competition. Although the league has been inviting invitations, as Ji Feng said, it is time to give opportunities to young people.

Ji Feng is very aware of his own strength. If he plays, others will have no chance. This is equivalent to blocking other people's shortcut to fame. Besides, he is already a triple crown champion and has almost no desire for this kind of competition. , so it’s time to sit on the sidelines and be a spectator.

On the 26th, Ji Feng, who had not participated in any single event, was sitting on the sidelines with a golden sword. Next to him was someone who had just arrived from China and looked a little tired.

At 6 o'clock in the afternoon, there was still an hour before the start of the game. There was a group of players warming up in the venue. There were many acquaintances of Ji Feng, but they did not come to say hello directly. After all, Ji Feng and Reba had not seen each other for a long time. At this time, Reba Bar hung on Ji Feng's body like a koala, and then kept chattering in Ji Feng's ears.

Hot Bar is very excited. Although she comes to the All-Stars every year in different capacities, such as commentator for Tencent and CCTV, and has even performed on stage, this is the first time she and Ji Feng sit and watch a game together like this.

And Ji Feng lazily held Reba's slender waist, listening to Reba's pleasant voice, he just felt that it was so comfortable to be an audience. He had been an All-Star model worker for the past four years, and had competition tasks almost every day. This also gave him no chance to relax and watch the game as comfortably as he did tonight. Tonight he could finally be lazy.

"It turns out that the audience is the most comfortable. It's really tiring to fight like before. No wonder the guys like Kobe don't want to play as they get older. Isn't it good to watch the game!"

"Ah, the clown is me!" Ji Feng held the hot bar with his left hand and stretched out his right hand, feeling completely relaxed.

"No! Boss, it's not you who is the clown, it's me. It's not dark yet, but you're putting dog food across the street, and you're not letting anyone live!" Behind him, Farmar was eating dog food until he was full. With an expression on his face, he regretted why he came here to watch the game and spent so much money. Was it just to eat dog food?

"Ahem, you can choose to close your eyes! Or do you need Jianweixiaoshi tablets?" Reba, who looked more and more like Ji Feng, winked and smiled mischievously.

"No... no need, please bury me directly in the spring." Farmar gave up struggling.

But soon, he was finally saved. As the time got closer and closer, the stadium finally entered the game atmosphere, and Hot Bar finally returned to its ladylike appearance. Under the camera, it was flawless.

After 45 minutes of performance, the game finally officially kicked off.

The first project was Shooting Star, which was a serious entertainment project. In the end, the New York team led by pitcher Alan Houston beat the crowd and won the championship.

Orlando was the least successful. The first close shot was made three times, and the last mid-range shot from beyond the distance took a lot of time. It took 104 seconds to complete the task.

This is very similar to what happened to Orlando in this year's All-Star Game. In short, it is seriously inconsistent with people's expectations.

Then came the skills competition. Compared with the skills challenge in 2011, the number of participants in 2012 increased from five to six. However, the 2012 entry list still contains many old faces that we saw in 2011.

Curry, Irving, Westbrook, Wall, Parker, Deron, and other super point guards gather the best of the three generations of old, middle and young league defenders.

This shows what kind of efforts the alliance has made for the skills competition.

He is a very nice person, but compared to this competition...
