Chapter 93 Star among stars, Wang Yan dominated the Rookie Game and the All-Star Game!
The much-anticipated All-Star Weekend is finally here!
As usual, the ratings for the All-Star Rookie Game on the first day were not high because all the players were newbies.

What are the fans watching?
What we are looking at are the stars and superstars!
So it was only on the second day that fans became interested in watching, and big-name stars began to appear on the stage.

However, the ratings for this year’s All-Star Game on the first day were almost the same as those of previous All-Star Games!
This is all because of one person, Wang Yan!

When the stars were introduced, the applause and cheers from others were sparse.

After all, he is a rookie. He didn't even react when Curry came on the court, let alone Cousins ​​and others.

But when the host read out Wang Yan's name, all the fans stood up and cheered, and the stadium was instantly boiling!

James and Kobe did not come to the scene today. They were watching the live broadcast on TV at home.

When they saw Wang Yan's popularity, they became very jealous.

How can a newcomer be so popular? It's really infuriating!

Wang Yan knew that he was very popular, but this was a rookie competition and others had finally had a chance to show off, so Wang Yan didn't want to steal the limelight from others.

He was very low-key, just waved and greeted the audience, and then hid among his teammates.

As the first quarter began, Wang Yan could no longer keep a low profile because the sophomore rookie was really strong.

Curry, Harden, DeRozan, Evans, Ibaka, Jennings are all strong players with too many ways to score.

Just over two minutes into the game, the sophomore rookie was already leading by seven points.

9:2
Wang Yan originally wanted to let his teammates perform first, and then he would take over the game in the second half.

Unexpectedly, the first-year rookies were all very nervous, and their strength was indeed weaker than that of the sophomores, so they played with limited control.

It was too much suppressed.

Head coach Budenholzer shook his head. When Wang Yan walked past the sidelines, he shouted at him, "Wang Yan, take action! It's up to you!"

This was the only solution he could think of.

Because the second-year rookies, especially those on the outside, are so strong.

If Wang Yan doesn't show some real skills, he won't be able to suppress these future superstars in the West.

In this case, Wang Yan knew that he could no longer keep a low profile.

First increase the score, and then let your teammates play freely.

Otherwise, it would be so confusing, how can you show off?

Sophomore offense.

Harden, who had just made a step-back three-pointer, wanted to repeat the same trick.

He faced Bledsoe's defense and pretended to break through.

Just as Bledsoe's center of gravity moved, the bearded man suddenly pulled the ball back.

I have to say that the bearded man's personal ball-handling ability is truly top-notch, especially his dribbling and dribbling, which are simply works of art.

Unfortunately, he became obsessed with scamming people, and his willpower and competitiveness were not good enough, which led to his unsatisfactory personal achievements.

But the sophomore Harden is really full of spirit, coupled with his strong physique, he is more promising than Curry.

Curry at this moment is a bit fragile and his ankles are too easily injured.

Because his early breakthroughs and swaying were so large, the force was all generated from his ankles.

Later on, under the guidance of the team medical expert, he started to exert force from the hips.

Although the explosive power has decreased, the stability and skills are still there, and the ankle is no longer injured.

After Harden shook off Bledsoe, he calmly retreated to the three-point line and threw the ball!
All in one go!
Unfortunately, Wang Yan didn’t agree this time!
Wang Yan, who was just struggling with Ibaka in the penalty area, suddenly pounced on Harden.

Harden's shot was nearly two feet away.

This height is beyond the reach of ordinary players.

However, Wang Yan's legs suddenly stood up as if there were springs installed.

Snapped!
A shocking hot pot, the ball was hit directly towards the audience!
A fat fan sitting in the sixth row was showing off a big handful of popcorn, but was hit by the basketball accurately, and the popcorn scattered instantly, like flowers scattered by a fairy!
Harden was stunned.

He could never have imagined that this height could be covered?

Although Harden didn't see clearly how Wang Yan blocked the ball, he instinctively gestured to the referee, indicating that Wang Yan had interfered with the ball.

Because it happened so quickly, the referee really didn't see it clearly.

There was no other choice but for the referee to go to the sidelines to check the video replay to determine whether the ball was interfered with.

Although it was an all-star show, the referees were still very serious.

Through slow-motion replay, the audience also saw on the big screen above that Wang Yan's block was a good shot!
The basketball was blocked while it was on its way up, before it reached its peak.

This height can be blocked, this bounce, this timing, it's really terrifying!

Ibaka's defense this season has also been impressive, and his blocked shots are also among the best in the league.

But when he saw Wang Yan's blocked shot, he sighed in his heart, feeling really ashamed of himself!

Wang Yan is better than him in terms of static talent, dynamic talent, and ability to seize opportunities.

Of course, Ibaka is also proud of his nickname "28 Card"!
Little did he know that even in this respect, Wang Yan was better than him.

In the future there will be European and American actresses to prove it.

Harden put his hands on his hips and looked up at the big screen. He was shocked, but still a little unconvinced.

At this time, Harden was competitive.

The sophomore team resumed their offense and threw the ball from the sideline, but there were only 3.4 seconds left on the shot clock.

Curry ran without the ball, shook off Wall's pursuit, and shot as soon as he caught the ball in the corner!
He really put in a lot of effort to prevent Wang Yan from blocking his shot.

But Wang Yan still squeezed over and tried his best to block the shot.

In fact, the distance is too far and Wang Yan cannot reach it.

But Wang Yan has already caused a psychological shadow on the opposing players.

Even if he couldn't block it, it still caused Curry's mentality to fluctuate.

Boom!
Curry's shot went astray, hit the edge of the basket and bounced out.

Cousins ​​grabbed the rebound and was about to pass the ball to Bledsoe when he discovered that Wang Yan had already crossed half court.

This reaction speed and quick attack awareness are so strong!

Cousins ​​passed the ball to Wang Yan without hesitation.

Before he passed the ball, Wang Yan pointed his finger in front of him.

The meaning is obvious, let him pass the ball forward more often, so that the ball leads the player, rather than the player waiting for the ball.

Cousins ​​has a high basketball IQ and understood what he meant. He threw the ball more than two meters in front of Wang Yan.

wonderful!

Ibaka could have blocked the pass, but the pass went so far forward that Ibaka could only sigh and watch the ball.

Wang Yan took big steps forward, whoosh, whoosh!

He actually started a three-step shot from outside the three-point line.

After receiving the ball, he didn't dribble. He took two big steps, rushed to the penalty area, and jumped into the air!

Wang Yan was like a golden eagle spreading its wings, with extremely graceful movements.

The audience on the opposite side all stood up, astonished!
boom!
Dunk from the free throw line.

This is not a slam dunk contest. This is a real free throw line dunk that shocked the whole audience!

The rookie game actually produced such a wonderful goal that the audience was thrilled.

Today's tickets are really worth it!

Afterwards, Harden wanted to get back on track, but with Wang Yan's help defense, his chance to shoot was too difficult.

At the end of the first quarter, Wang Yan played for 11 minutes and scored 25 points!
Led the first-year rookie team to reverse the score.

37:28, the first-year rookie leads by 9 points!
The second-year players and coaching staff were dumbfounded.

As long as Wang Yan exerts his strength, the second-year stars can't stop him at all!
Finally, the rookie competition ended, and Wang Yan scored the highest 55 points, setting a scoring record for all previous rookie challenge competitions!

Wang Yan not only scored high points, but also scored brilliant goals.

Among them, Wang Yan dunked a total of 16 times, breaking the record for the number of dunks in the Rookie Challenge!

Experts and fans have discovered that wherever Wang Yan goes, there is really no grass growing!

All records have been rewritten.

People are very much looking forward to Wang Yan's career and wonder how great his future achievements will be!

Wang Yan won the MVP of the Rookie Game without any suspense.

After the game, he was interviewed by a beautiful reporter.

The female reporter asked, "Mr. Wang Yan, you dunked so many balls tonight. Are you preparing for the upcoming dunk contest?"

"You're right!"

Wang Yan smiled and nodded, "I am just warming up for the dunk contest, but today's dunks are just a piece of cake. You will see more exciting dunks in tomorrow's dunk contest!"

The female reporter became infatuated with him. She jumped up with excitement and wanted to hug Wang Yan.

Wang Yan quickly took a step back. With so many people watching, he didn't want to get involved in too many scandals.

The female reporter was a little out of control, stuck out her tongue in embarrassment, and quickly asked the second question: "So what do you have to say to the fans about tomorrow's dunk contest?"

Wang Yan waved his fist and shouted passionately: "Just get ready to cheer!"

When the fans at the scene heard Wang Yan's speech, they all cheered excitedly.

Everyone is looking forward to his performance in the dunk contest.

Today’s game was exciting enough, can tomorrow’s game be even more exciting?
. . . .

That night.

Wang Yan and Nike executives also held a long telephone conference to plot a big event!
Nike decided to work with Wang Yan to do something in the dunk contest.

After hanging up the phone, Wang Yan looked at the latest All-Star color sneakers on his feet, and a plan emerged in his mind!

He wanted to promote his signature sneakers through his performance in the dunk contest.

Although Wang Yan's signature shoes are selling well, he hopes that this pair of shoes can add a commemorative attribute.

Just like commemorative coins, increase its collection value!
The next night, the All-Star Game begins!
The Western Conference's All-Star lineup is luxurious, with the starting lineup being: Chris Paul of the Hornets (now the Pelicans), Kobe Bryant of the Lakers, Durant of the Thunder, Anthony of the Nuggets, and Yao Ming of the Rockets (due to Yao Ming's injury, Kevin Love of the Timberwolves replaced him).

The bench lineup is also terrifying: Duncan, Pau Gasol, Ginobili, Griffin, Nowitzki, Westbrook, and Deron Williams.

The head coach is Popovich of the Spurs.

The Eastern Conference All-Star starting lineup: Wang Yan of the Cavaliers, Rose of the Bulls, Wade and James of the Heat, and Howard of the Magic.

The substitute lineup is Ray Allen, Bosh, Garnett, Joe Johnson, Pierce, Irving, and Stoudemire.

The head coach is Scott of the Cavaliers.

This is Scott's first time as head coach of an All-Star game.

In terms of his ability, he is actually very mediocre, but he is lucky. After coaching Wang Yan, he will win many honors!

. . . .

When the host read out the names of the stars one by one, the fans applauded and cheered.

The cheers will vary depending on the popularity of the star player.

When Kobe and James came on the court, the cheers were the loudest, almost equal.

However, when Wang Yan, as the king of votes, made his final appearance on stage, the cheers from the audience erupted in an instant like thunder!

This popularity is obviously two levels higher than that of James and Kobe.

The stars felt uncomfortable listening to the cheers of the fans, and it was impossible for them not to be jealous.

Wang Yan raised his hands and interacted with the audience.

With this aura, he looks like a well-known superstar, not like a rookie player at all!

The All-Star Game begins!
Wang Yan and Love stood in the center circle.

Logically, it should be center Howard and Love who jump ball.

But Wang Yan was so popular that Howard took the initiative to give up the opportunity for a jump ball.

Wang Yan also tried to decline a few times, but Howard was very sincere, so Wang Yan had no choice but to obey respectfully.

When Love saw that it was Wang Yan, he smiled bitterly. He knew he couldn't win the jump ball.

Wang Yan easily passed the ball to his teammate Howard.

Howard knew Wang Yan's habit and knew that he had to have an aerial relay at the beginning of the game.

The fans at the scene also stood up and waited for Wang Yan's performance.

After Wang Yan jumped the ball, he rushed forward quickly. Howard made a long pass and threw the ball into the basket.

It’s true, although Howard’s technique is a bit rough, his passing ability is pretty good.

Wang Yan jumped high and caught the ball in mid-air.

Because this was the All-Star Game, Wang Yan also performed a trick, which was a 360-degree turn in the air.

Old fans know that those who make this move are relatively small players.

Generally, only guards or at least small forwards can perform such difficult moves.

Wang Yan, a 2-meter-tall man, can actually do a 1-degree turn very smoothly.

boom!
Turn and dunk!

The fans at the scene jumped up excitedly, and thunderous cheers, applause, screams, and whistles filled the entire stadium!
Wang Yan enjoyed this moment very much. He hung on the basket and pointed his other hand at Howard.

This was a thank you for his pass.

In the following games, Wang Yan played fairly standardly and didn't try too hard.

Because this is the All-Star Game with many superstars gathered, he also has to give others some face.

After all, the stars have agencies and sports brands behind them to support them.

We can't completely destroy other people's jobs.

Although Wang Yan was very restrained, he still got the highest score among the stars on both sides.

In the end, the Eastern Conference All-Stars defeated the Western Conference All-Stars 136:129.

Wang Yan played for 27 minutes and scored 38 points, 13 points more than Kobe, who was second.

In this way, Wang Yan once again won the MVP of the All-Star Game without any suspense!

Next, the three major All-Star events will begin!
The main event is coming!
