Chapter 509 All-Star Weekend
The next day, many senior media worked overtime overnight to analyze the incomprehensibility of the Lakers' new tactics.
Organized, frame-rushing, shooting, three-pointers, frame-protecting, and most importantly, Ge Feng's occasional magical breakout.
This is a tactic with few weaknesses.
The only disadvantage may be that Howard is slow and McGee tends to be distracted.
Finally...Schroder's three-pointer is unstable.
But with Davis back, this tactic is basically perfect.
Davis' three-point shot is more consistent than Schroder's, and he can make up for Howard's slow speed.
As long as Davis can recover and return, this Lakers team is a championship-level team.
At the same time, there are still 2 days before the All-Star Game Day.
After the game between the Lakers and the Pelicans, it will officially enter the offseason.
Some players who were not selected for the All-Stars went home to visit relatives, and some went to nightclubs to have fun. Of course, some players took the initiative to come to Indiana to participate in the All-Star Weekend.
The Lakers have confirmed that Ge Feng and Davis, who have been selected as All-Stars, must prepare for the All-Star Game five days later.
But this year, Davis has a waist injury, and there is a high probability that he will miss the All-Star Game.
The venue for this year's All-Star Game was chosen to be the home court of the Indiana Pacers.
As a small city team, hosting the All-Star Game is of great significance to the owner of the Pacers.
Simon, the owner of the Pacers, will provide the best weekend entertainment for the NBA All-Stars.
For example, nightclubs...beauties...cigarettes...fine wine, etc., are all free.
Under the banner of free nightclubs, Simon really attracted many players, and he couldn't wait to fly to Indiana.
Not long ago, the league has announced the current All-Star substitute list and the entry list for the individual competitions.
The Eastern Conference's list of substitutes: Kemba Walker, Ben Simmons, Kyle Lowry, Khris Middleton, Domantas Sabonis, Jayson Tatum, Bam Adebayor.
Western All-Star Subs: Nikola Jokic, Damian Lillard, Donovan Mitchell, Rudy Gobert, Chris Paul, Brandon Ingram, Russell Westbrook.
This year's East and West bench lineup is more excessive than previous years.
In the east, generals are still selected from the pile of dwarves, while in the west, stars are shining and leftover pearls are everywhere.
Lillard, Aldridge, Zion, DeRozan, Booker, Towns, Morant, George and a large number of high-quality Western players were not selected for the Western All-Stars.
The pattern of strong west and weak east was only broken for one year in 17, and it immediately returned to its original appearance.
After the announcement of the substitute lineup for the main game, the entry list for each individual event of the All-Stars was also announced.
It was very surprising that Ge Feng's name actually appeared on the list of the skill challenge competition.
In fact, this is because Ge Feng has not participated in other events except the All-Star Game for two years.
Ge Feng's enthusiasm is very high, and since Ge Feng once got full marks in the three-point contest, there are quite a lot of fans who want Ge Feng to participate in the three-point contest this year.
Ge Feng's team was under a lot of pressure, and finally chose to avoid the important and let Ge Feng participate in the All-Star Skills Challenge.
Ge Feng smiled wryly.
This is what fans love...
It was so heavy that Ge Feng struggled to rest.
But Ge Feng didn't complain at all, the fans liked him, so naturally he couldn't let them down.
This is the basic quality that a high-quality idol should practice.
As soon as the news that Ge Feng was going to participate in the skill challenge competition was announced, countless rookies who had performed well in recent years eagerly signed up.
They all want to defeat Ge Feng in the skills competition and prove that their skills are better than Ge Feng.
Although Ge Feng won three consecutive championships in the NBA, due to the color discrimination in the basketball world for nearly a century, there will always be players who refuse to accept the yellow-skinned Ge Feng, thinking that Ge Feng is just lucky.
In the list of participating in the skills competition this year, in addition to Ge Feng, there are Doncic, Morant, Tre Young, Gobert, Tatum, Dinwiddie, Porzingis and Hayward.
This lineup is very luxurious, covering almost all the rookies with the best potential in recent years.
Among them, Dinwiddie, Tatum, and Porzingis are all champions of the skills competition.
The three of them participated again this year, just to defeat Ge Feng head-on and prove that they are stronger than Ge Feng.
On February 2th, the day before the start of the All-Star rookie contest, Ge Feng leisurely got on the plane and took Xia Shilan from Los Angeles to Indiana.
Ge Feng is not interested in Simon's "big nightclub bargain".
With this kung fu, Ge Feng might as well be playing iron at home.
What a joy it is to pull iron...
Why some people can't figure it out and go to a nightclub?
When he arrived in Indiana, Ge Feng went directly to the venue of Nike's sneaker conference.
Nike's status in the NBA is very high.
Any major NBA event, the scene will not lack the presence of Nike.
Now that Ge Feng has signed a contract with Nike, there will be no shortage of such business entertainment in the future.
Moreover, Ge Feng had received the news before coming to the venue.
This year's All-Star Game, Nike seems to be ready to focus on launching Ge Feng's first personal boots in Nike.
Ge Feng was very excited at this moment.
Before the start of the new season, he signed a supplementary sneaker agreement with Nike.
The agreement states that Nike will tailor-make personal and exclusive boots for Ge Feng, and Ge Feng will officially take a commission from Nike.
As long as Ge Feng's first-generation boots sell well, the profit Ge Feng can get from the commission will probably be ten times higher than the fixed fee of the endorsement.
Feng arrived at the Nike venue earlier than agreed.
At this time, no one came to Nike's venue, only a few cleaning aunts were arranging the venue and cleaning it.
Ge Feng and Xia Shilan found a place to sit down and waited for the others to arrive.
After a while, Nike's sports stars appeared one by one.
Jordan, Kobe, James, Durant, Ronaldo, Messi...
When Ge Feng saw Nike inviting such a luxurious lineup, he couldn't help feeling his scalp tingle.
Nike has invited all the most popular athletes in the world!
The relationship between Kobe and Messi seems to be very good. They kick and fight together, like a couple.
James and Ronaldo also kept chatting, and their relationship seemed much more normal than Kobe and Messi.
Only Ge Feng glanced at Durant, then at Jordan, and walked decisively to Jordan's side...
Durant snorted coldly, went to the corner in silence, put on headphones, and listened to music with his eyes closed.
Just then, Adam, the person in charge of the Nike venue, came.
Nike's sneaker launch is about to begin.
Before the official opening of the NBA All-Star Game, Nike will hold the latest generation of Nike sneakers at the home court of the Indiana Pacers one day earlier.
