Chapter 698 Unity, Boring Competition

Paul George wasn't ambiguous either:

"I will play normally, as for the MVP, it depends on luck!"

Paul George also wants to win the championship. Paul George has been in the league for so long. He is famous enough and a superstar, but Paul George basically has no reputation. The All-Star Game MVP is already very rare for Paul George.

But Paul George's character is not bad among blacks, and he is quite polite.

On the contrary, Anthony Davis was more straightforward: "I will grab more rebounds and then shoot. As for the MVP, I will not fight."

Brother Nongmei is famous enough, but not qualified enough.

Brother Nongmei is really not in the mood to compete for the MVP of the All-Star Game now.

After the three of them finished speaking, Qin Yang finally concluded:

"The MVP of the All-Star Game, just the three of you, whoever plays well will win. As for the tactics, it's very simple. Me, Clay, and Stephen shoot more three-pointers, and the others hold the ball, give us cover passes, and have the opportunity to directly attack the basket. Everyone treats themselves as role players. Everyone should hold the ball for no more than three seconds. Either shoot, pass, or layup. Everyone speeds up to the extreme."

"We not only want to win, but also win beautifully!"

Qin Yang was aggressive.

Qin Yang's lineup is too strong, and they are better at shooting, especially three-pointers. From this perspective, the team has a high probability of winning.

After talking about the game, the group started to have dinner together.

To be honest, there are very few things that can be discussed during the dinner party. Although the team members are familiar with Qin Yang, there are some things that cannot be said.

But when talking about the playoffs, DeRozan, Lowry, Paul George and others in the East looked depressed.

Paul George was even more blunt:

"With James, it is too difficult to enter the finals in the East, let alone win the championship. In the past five years, the East has been dominated by James."

When James was in the Heat, Wade and Bosh assisted, and the strength of the Big Three was terrifying.

James is on the Cavaliers with Irving and Kevin Love on his side.

The two big three lineups are very rare in history. This lineup is definitely a championship-level lineup. As long as you play well, you will win the championship with a high probability.

For this kind of thing, many players in the West can't speak.

The East is at least okay, the competition is not so fierce, and the teams in the West are all strong teams. Because of Qin Yang's injury, the team's record has declined, and they almost couldn't even make it to the playoffs.

Chris Paul is so strong, coupled with Griffin and Jordan Jr., they couldn't even make it to the Western Conference Finals, which can be described as extremely sad.

From this point of view, the east is slightly better than the west.

…………

On February 2th, Qin Yang was invited to participate in the All-Star Celebrity Tournament.

Among the All-Star games that Qin Yang participated in, this year's All-Star Game is the most tiring first time, because this year's All-Star Game, as a Chinese, Qin Yang has been welcomed by many fans in Toronto. He must appear in every public game to attract fans. This is the league's requirement for Qin Yang.

Qin Yang had no choice.

In this Masters Tournament, Qin Yang met many acquaintances, such as Nash, McGrady and others who have retired to participate in the Masters Tournament again.

What is even more embarrassing is that a Chinese star also participated.

Qin Yang stood on the bench and talked to Nash during the game break, and the player ran over to shake hands with Qin Yang.

"Bruce, I'm your fan."

This player is average in height, which is considered tall among ordinary people, but compared to basketball players, he is relatively average. In addition to his...mother's appearance, he looks like a star.

"Hi, nice to meet you, you played well."

Qin Yang exchanged polite greetings, but actually didn't want to talk at all.

It was this young man who spoke eloquently: "My name is Wu Yifan, thank you for your compliment. In fact, I once dreamed of becoming a professional basketball player."

Qin Yang listened helplessly, and was finally forced to take a photo with the star.

Everyone has made such a request, Qin Yang can't refuse in front of so many people.

The celebrity match was very boring, Qin Yang appeared more like a mascot, Qin Yang praised everyone before and after the match, and there was nothing wrong with what he said.

After the Masters is the Rookie Challenge.

This year is still the US team and the international team, which is pretty boring.In the end, Zach LaVine won the Rookie Challenge MVP with 30 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists.

Immediately following was the Skills Challenge in the All-Star Game.

This year's Skills Challenge was interesting because of the controversy surrounding the participants.

Except for Beverly, McCollum.In addition to Isaiah Thomas and Clarkson, the other four participating players are Cousins, Draymond Green, Anthony Davis and Karl-Anthony Towns.

In general, skill challenges don't have a restricted position though.

But this kind of game requires players to have a lot of breakthrough, passing, layup and shooting abilities.

Therefore, most of the participating players are guards, and most of them are point guards. It is a joke for insiders to participate in this kind of competition. Ten years ago, there had never been insiders participating in this kind of competition.

but……

This year, four people participated in this way.

The trend of the alliance can be seen.

Fans have seen players participating, and there are four insiders among them. They don't feel much, but those who really notice will find that these four insiders have their own characteristics, and none of them are traditional insiders.

Traditional inside superstars simply cannot survive in this era.

The change of NBA rules has made the inside players faster and faster, and more and more outside.

And the final winner of this year's Skills Challenge is Karl-Anthony Towns, a pure and incomparable insider, and this kind of insider also represents the future direction of the insider.

The results of the Skills Challenge were unexpected, but that's normal.

On the one hand, Towns is indeed very strong, and he is the inside line most like the outside line, which is representative. On the other hand, the defenders participating in the skills challenge are too good.

There are no superstar guards, and the biggest one is Beverly.

The dire situation is evident.

After the Skills Challenge is the Slam Dunk Contest, which is also one of the most influential events in the All-Star Game.Compared with the downturn in the dunk contest in previous seasons, the slam dunk contest has attracted attention again in these few seasons. The reason is that the players participating in the dunk contest are getting stronger and stronger.

This year's slam dunk contest, the contestants are Zach LaVine, Andre Drummond, Will Barton and Aaron Gordon.

Among the four, Will Barton is the least-known player.

But apart from him, Andre Drummond is a well-known insider monster, and Aaron Gordon and Zach Lavin have become representatives of the league's new generation of dunk monsters.

After the first round, Zach LaVine and Aaron Gordon advanced to the finals.

This time, the most intense scene in the dunk contest happened.
