Chapter 297 The superstars who are fighting with each other! The smoke of gunpowder is ignited!
Barkley immediately smiled and said: "You can also come to Boston, Reggie, I welcome you on behalf of the team."
"Come on, I'm not interested in places other than Indiana!"
Miller scoffed, pouting at the four players from the Knicks not far away and said: "I don't want to suddenly have a year when all the players in the All-Star team are from the same team! It's an exaggeration now.
Miller is right.
The situation of the East Army this year could not be more obvious. The Knicks four and the Celtics five each occupy one direction, and they have no intention of saying hello to each other.
Coupled with the four guys from the Western Lakers, there seemed to be some invisible wall between the dozen or so people, so that they did not have any interaction with each other, and even Barkley didn't talk to Jordan.
After greeting everyone, Grant Hill, who likes quiet, sat alone in the corner, listening to his favorite piano music with headphones on his ears.
Iverson, who is the exact opposite of his personality, is running around, saying hello to everyone, and even chatting with Duncan now!
Lin Long couldn't help sighing: "There are still people who can chat with Tim! Allen does have a great side!"
"I doubt that with Aaron's speed and accent, Tim could understand half of what he said."
Reggie's mouth crooked, making a malicious guess.
"I suspect that Tim can't understand what 90% of the people in this league are saying. His brain is not in the same dimension as everyone else. Barkley scratched his head, and Duncan is definitely the number one weirdo in the league in his eyes. fetal.
The chatter of the crowd didn't last long when league officials opened the door to the interview room.
Countless reporters poured in and immediately surrounded these stars.
At this time, according to the number of reporters around each person, we can see their status and popularity.
The number of reporters in front of Lin Long is undoubtedly the largest.
There are dozens of reporters from inside to outside, and the space in front of him is full.
It was similar on Jordan's side. There were also dozens of reporters in three layers and three layers out, surrounding Jordan.
Apart from these two people, there were obviously not so many reporters in front of them. Some people even had just two or three people in front of them. They were all familiar reporters from their own teams.
It can be seen from here that the gap between the more than 20 All-Star coffee positions.
Lin Long and Jordan belong to the absolute kings, and their popularity and topicality are cliff-like ahead of other players.
Hill, Iverson, Shaquille O'Neal, Kobe Bryant in the second gear.
The third gear is the veteran All-Stars like Miller, Barkley and Malone.
They are well connected and have the best relationship with the media.
Further down are Rashid, Sprewell, and Stockton. Although they are not newcomers, they are not very popular and discussed.
Then came Billups, Finley, and McDyess, all-star rookies who were at the bottom of the list in terms of strength, popularity, and relationships.
The last gear is Duncan.
Like Lin Long and Jordan, he is different from others. Even the reporters in San Antonio went to David Robinson's side. No one was interested in interviewing Duncan at all. No one wanted to get a few words from him. Reply.
There was no one in front of him, but Duncan didn't care at all, and even sat there enjoying himself for a while.
In the face of reporters' long guns and short guns, Lin Long has long been accustomed to dealing with all kinds of problems.
"I think this year's All-Star MVP will belong to Allen, this is his home court, and he's the star of the year."
"I don't care if the five of us are selected to make history, I care more about us now ranking first in the league!"
"Slam dunk contest? I've been training for a long time, and I'll come out with something completely different, something that no one has ever seen! Stay tuned."
"Since I participated in the 3-point contest, of course my goal is only one - the championship! If possible, I hope to take back the trophy of the slam dunk contest and the 3-point contest this year! Their gold content is very high, and this year's competition is higher than In previous years, it has been intense, but I am full of confidence!
After answering a series of Katana questions and routine questions.
Finally, a reporter could not resist this bland interview and asked a pointed question.
"Lin, we all know that some unpleasant things happened between you and Michael in the All-Star Game last year. Will there be any competition between the two of you this year?"
Lin Long said with a smile: "No, Michael and I won't do anything in the All-Star Game this year. We've gone through the Eastern Conference finals and the Christmas fight. I don't have anything to prove anymore, do I?"
Lin Long's words aroused exclamations from the reporters.
Although he didn't say it clearly, everyone could hear what Lin Long meant.
I'm the winner, I won't know Jordan again!
Lin Long once again launched a gauntlet to Jordan!
A reporter immediately followed up and said, "So you think Jordan can't stop you and is not worthy of being your opponent? 35
"I didn't say that." Lin Long laughed: "Jordan is by far the greatest shooting guard in NBA history, even the greatest player. But I'm not afraid of him, I have my pursuit, my goal is to be the greatest, the best! All those who stand in my way and want to beat me on this road will be knocked down by me! On the basketball court , no respect!
Lin Long's remarks are regarded as his declaration of defending the title. Today's Celtics certainly have such strength. Their first result in the league and the Christmas battle against the Knicks have given them the confidence to speak out. any words come.
But this alliance, not everyone is willing to surrender.
When Jordan was asked how he felt about competing with Lin Long, the man who dominated the league for a decade simply said, "See you in the playoffs! Everything else is crap."99
Compared to Lin Long's confidence and Jordan's indifference, O'Neal's answer was full of his personal style:
"We're going to be champions this year! That's for sure, whether it's the Celtics or the Knicks, the Spurs or the Timberwolves, we don't care! Shaq will crush them all! Let you see me dominance!"
3 teams, 13 All-Stars!
The open and secret struggle that began in the preseason is destined to continue to the finals. This year's NBA is destined to be the most exciting and most anticipated one in recent decades!
There are even many fans who hope that the regular season will end as soon as possible, and quickly enter the playoffs to see the result of the collision of these three galactic battleships and see if anyone can overturn them and become a super dark horse.
410 But no matter how much the fans look forward to and how anxious they are, the schedule is the schedule, and the game needs to be played one by one.
But until then, this year's All-Star is definitely an outpost that can satisfy everyone's fantasies!
What will it be like, will the players fight for real life in one breath, and when will the real swords and guns appear.
And the most anticipated-
Will the coaches of the two sides pose what all fans want to see the most, the frontal collision between the Galaxy battleships?
Like the Lakers' four-day king Gapeton vs. the Celtics' five-man team?
Or maybe the Knicks big four Garhill smashing the Los Angeles four plus Tim Duncan?
If these matchups do come to pass, it must be an early preview of the finals!
All fans are looking forward to the All-Star Game in two days!
This expectation directly caused the first rookie match to suffer a critical blow.
Many anxious Philadelphia fans shouted directly before the start of the rookie game:
"We're going to race!
"We want Los Angeles vs. Boston!
"Get these rookies out of here!
This made Carter, Jamison, Pierce, Jay Williams and other rookies who played well this season extremely unhappy. They also redoubled their efforts to express themselves at the beginning of the rookie game.
Williams' unrestrained pass, Carter's dunk in nine days!
Jamison, Lewis' rare range in this era was displayed one by one in the game, and the Philadelphia fans quickly forgot about those things outside the game, and concentrated on it, screaming for this group of future league superstars!
