Chapter 404 The volute and the monster finally reconciled...

As the tacit understanding among the Big Three of the Lakers became higher and higher, Ge Feng's personal average score became lower and lower.

Now Ge Feng has fallen out of the top three in the scoring leaderboard and slipped to fourth.

The decline in personal scores does not mean that Ge Feng's offensive ability has deteriorated. It can only mean that the Lakers play more and more reasonably, and Ge Feng can have more opportunities to integrate into the team.

Amid the long-awaited anticipation of the fans, the annual All-Star Weekend finally opened.

According to the usual practice, the first day of the All-Star Competition is still the Rookie Challenge.

This year's rookie challenge is actually full of highlights.

Last season's peerless doubles Doncic + Tre Young, and Bridges, as well as Zion, the beast champion who stomped on Nike basketball shoes and can snatch the ball from anyone's arms with one hand, are all important rookies that must be mentioned in this rookie game.

Judging from the roster distribution of the US team and the world team, the US team clearly has an advantage.

Doncic is the captain of the international team, but Bridges, Zion, and Tre Young are all local players of the US team, and the US team seems to be stronger.

But a team with Doncic will never lack miracles.

Doncic organized the team to play a hearty three-point performance in the first half. At the end of the first half, the world team insisted on leading the US team 81 to 71.

Back in the second half, Zion and Tre Young started to exert their strength.

Zion fully demonstrated his physical talent. He completed difficult alley-oops many times, blasting the basket of the Chicago Arena to shattering.

Tre Young played through the crotch, and Bridges scored 20 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists, and finally helped the US team counterattack the international team and won the final MVP.

At the end of the rookie competition, the second day of competition with the most single events will be ushered in.

This year's slam dunk contest is one of the individual events that fans are most concerned about.

But this year's slam dunk contest somewhat "disappointed" fans.

Gordon participated in the slam dunk contest for three consecutive years, but the three-year slam dunk contest ended with regret.

This year's slam dunk contest, Gordon and the flying man Derrick Jones from the Heat staged another classic duel.

The two scored a total of 9 perfect marks of 50 points, pushing the atmosphere of the scene to wave after wave of climax.

It's a pity that Gordon was reduced to the "uncrowned king" because of Wade's 9 points in the last dunk due to the disputed judgment.

Gordon said that he would not participate in the slam dunk contest in the future, and he even questioned that the slam dunk contest has changed its flavor and is full of unspoken rules.

In addition to Gordon and Jones who entered the finals, there are also the 34-year-old Lakers veteran Dwight Howard, and the Bucks forward Pat Connaughton who wants to prove that "white men can fly".

The lineup of judges participating in this slam dunk contest includes Heat star Wade, Bulls star Pippen, Candice Parker (former WNBA superstar, basketball commentator), Common (rapper, film and television actor) and Chadwick Boseman (Avengers 4, Black Panther actor) who died not long ago.

According to the rules, the slam dunk contest is divided into two rounds.

In the first round, each player has a maximum of three dunk chances each time. In the first round, two dunks need to be completed. Five referees will score the players based on their dunk performance. The scoring ranges from 6 to 10 points. The two players with the highest total points will advance to the finals.

The highest scorer in the first round will play in the final round.

In the final stage, each player has two dunk opportunities, and the player with the highest total score wins.

In the first round, Lakers center Howard was the first to appear.

Howard rushed to the basket with the ball in his hand, and completed a reverse twist dunk after jumping.

After all, the 34-year-old Warcraft is no longer the spring man of the past. His buckle is lacking in jumping and staying in the air.

Four judges gave 8 points, only Pippen gave 9 points, "Warcraft" finally got 41 points.

The second player to play is Derrick Jones Jr. of the Heat.

Today happened to be Jones' 23rd birthday. At the scene, Jones invited his teammate Adebayor to assist in the performance. The birthday song sounded on the scene. He flew over Adebayor to complete a one-handed dunk, which scored 46 points.

Connaughton appeared in the third place. He appeared in a very special appearance, wearing a beach hat, a casual T-shirt and beach shorts.

This is the costume of the protagonist of the movie "White Men Can't Fly".

In the end, Connaughton flew over a fan wearing the No. 33 Pippen jersey, completed a double-handed dunk, and scored 45 points.

Aaron Gordon made his finale.

The action he completed was to complete the dunk with both hands under the crotch.

On the first dunk, Gordon failed to dunk, and on the second attempt, he successfully completed the action.

Since Gordon's movements were the most difficult among the four players, he finally got a perfect score of 50 points.

In the second dunk of the first round, Howard went into battle again.

This time, he put on the Superman suit and put on the red cape again.

After 12 years, Superman returns again, which makes people feel the taste of slow nostalgia.

Not only that, but the climax happened——

Kobe Bryant came to the All-Star game, and Kobe is also preparing to be Howard's special guest to help Howard complete the dunk contest.

The fans on the sidelines immediately went crazy.

For many years, fans have finally waited for the day when Kobe and Howard reunited.

Kobe Bryant shook hands with Howard at the All-Star Game.

Once, the two of them had a big fight because of the disagreement of the team's concept.

Kobe hopes that Howard will take every game seriously during his time with the Lakers.

And Howard believes that he doesn't have to play as hard as Kobe.

His talent is far above Kobe, as long as he wants, he can stand on the stage of the finals at any time.

The two had a falling out.

Everyone is familiar with what happened afterwards.

In order to send the Lakers to the playoffs, Kobe fought alone and fought with the Warriors until his Achilles tendon ruptured.

Howard resolutely left Los Angeles and started his bumpy wandering career.

It wasn't until last year that he came to his senses and understood Kobe's hard work.

Today, seven years and two months have passed since Kobe and Howard parted ways...

But this time, Howard finally woke up.

Howard said into the microphone: "If God gives him another chance to return to the Finals, he is willing to do everything for the team and his teammates to make up for the mistakes he made when he was young."

Once, as many people chose to believe in Howard, as many people were disappointed with Howard.

Now, Howard is chasing his first championship ring with Ge Feng, LeBron and Davis in the Lakers.

Howard wants to go all out for his dream like Kobe.

Even if they are broken into pieces and go through fire and water, they must escort this year's Lakers team!

Amid the warm applause of the fans, the brothers, who had been separated for seven years, hugged each other tightly.

Kobe and Howard's eyes were moist, and they finally waited until the day when they got back together.
