Fans did not watch the All-Star Game last season, so the atmosphere of the All-Star Game this season is extremely hot. There are still half an hour before the start of the game, and many fans have already started to enter the game.

Jiang Dongbing was sitting on the sidelines and chatting with Eastern Conference head coach Larry Bird, who was spitting everywhere. Bird himself was a chatterbox, and he couldn't finish the conversation.

Now is Bird's third season coaching the Pacers, and the Pacers' performance has always been quite good, ranking in the top three in the East.

Jiang Dongbing thinks Bird's coaching ability is pretty good. With a lineup like the Pacers, he can still lead the team to achieve such results, which shows that he is still very talented in the coaching industry.

Unfortunately, Jiang Dongbing remembers that after Bird coached this season, he withdrew from the coaching industry forever.

"Jiang, after I finish coaching this season, I may have to retreat to the second line. How about it? Are you interested in coaching in Indiana?" Bird asked intimately with his arms around Jiang Dongbing's neck.

It seemed intimate, Jiang Dongbing was extremely suspicious. If he dared to say a word, the big bird might break his neck.

Now Jiang Dongbing chats with all the big guys in the league. Usually, they can’t talk a few times, and the other party will ask questions directly to invite Jiang Dongbing to their team.

If you want to talk about who is the real hot product in this league, it is actually not those players, but Jiang Dongbing.

If the players are strong, they can indeed help the team improve their strength, but the improvement is limited, at most they can only increase the team to a higher level.

From a bottom team to a playoff goalkeeper, or a playoff goalkeeper to a second round or division final, or from a playoff strongman to a final contender, it is impossible to make a bottom team directly into a championship team, even Jordan can't do this.

But if you can get Jiang Dongbing, it would be completely different. Did the Grizzlies be considered a bottom before the start of last season? That is definitely the bottom of the bottom. If the Grizzlies are not the bottom of the bottom, they would definitely be a fool.

But it was such a bottom-sized team that made Jiang Dongbing win the championship in just one season. What a magical thing.

Which player could have accomplished such a magical feat? No one can do it.

A player of a historical level like O'Neal transferred from the Magic to the Lakers? He also failed to win the Lakers.

So it makes sense that all the big guys in the league compete for Jiang Dongbing? Everyone knows that getting Jiang Dongbing means that they can have countless top players.

With Jiang Dongbing, it means everything!

"Cough cough? Larry? Pay attention to your image. Are so many fans watching?" Jiang Dongbing pulled Bird's arm away and said coughing.

"Image? Do you think I'm the kind of person who pays attention to image? When playing basketball, they called me a red-necked country bumpkin? I didn't care much." Bird grinned.

"Larry?     Do you think this All-Star Game can win the West or the East?" Jiang Dongbing said curiously.

Bird shook his head directly, "I know, no matter who wins, I don't care? I just hope this All-Star weekend will not affect my players' condition."

"We are going to compete for the Eastern Conference Championship and the Championship this season? I hope my players will not be in a bad state like last season."

Last season's Pacers made it to the Eastern Conference Finals, which was an excellent opportunity to enter the finals. After all, Ewing, the core of the opponent's Knicks, was injured, but due to Miller's poor performance, they missed this opportunity in the end.

Pacers are making a comeback this season? Bird actually doesn't want to come to this All-Star weekend at all, nor does his own players come to participate.

Fans should be able to discover? All-Star weekend is actually a hurdle. Some players may not be affected by this All-Star weekend? But some players are not at the same level before and after the All-Star weekend.

"There should be nothing in the East that threatens your team now, don't worry? Larry? You will definitely enter the finals this season." Jiang Dongbing smiled.

Under normal circumstances? This season's finals are the Pacers against the Lakers, and the Lakers finally won the championship with a big score of 4:2.

But the Lakers definitely have no hope of entering the finals at the moment, because they still have the Grizzlies on their heads, so this year's finals opponents are likely to be the Grizzlies and the Pacers.

Hearing Jiang Dongbing's words, Bird smiled, but then put on the mask of pain again. He also felt that the Pacers made it to the finals this year.

But then? When facing the Grizzlies, what is the winning rate of the Pacers now? One percent? Even one percent. Look at the list of this year's finals, Bird doesn't know how he should solve the five All-Star players of the Grizzlies.

Even excluding these five All-Star players, Artest, Ginobili and even Peja of the Grizzlies are also a huge problem for the Pacers.

The Pacers' main attack point, Reggie Miller, will definitely face Artest's strict defense at that time, and Bird is extremely worried that Miller will perform poorly like last season.

It can be said that in the case of the Grizzlies, the Pacers had no chance at all, and there was a 99% chance that they would be swept out by the opponent.

"Jiang, you're such a monster. I really don't understand how you made so many powerful players."

"If I meet you in this year's finals, I feel that I don't have to play this game."

"But as an experienced person, there is a saying that I have to remind you that what Stern wants most now is to maintain the balance of the alliance. The two dynasties of the Bulls are actually the existence of breaking the balance."

"Now the Bulls have just established a dynasty. If you create another dynasty here, Stern will never be happy."

"So you can understand what I mean, right?" Bird said earnestly.

Jiang Dongbing nodded. Although Bird was not as straightforward as he said, Jiang Dongbing also fully understood what Bird said, that is, Stern did not want a certain team in the league to dominate.

Especially for a team like the Grizzlies with weak profitability, Stern would probably not accept it if he lets the Grizzlies dominate the world.

The NBA is a business league, and the ultimate goal is to make money. Teams like the Lakers and Knicks won the championship. Compared to teams like the Grizzlies, if Stern is chosen, he may be chosen a hundred times. He will definitely hope that the Lakers or Knicks will win the championship.

Bird's meaning is very obvious now, which is to advise Jiang Dongbing not to do things too well. It is not impossible for the Grizzlies to win the championship, but don't do other teams without a chance of survival.

This is not to say that Bird is warning Jiang Dongbing not to win the championship this year. He is just telling Jiang Dongbing how to deal with himself in this alliance as a veteran.

"Thank you, Larry, I will pay attention." Jiang Dongbing thanked.

In fact, even if Bird doesn’t say it, Jiang Dongbing can still realize these problems. For example, if he has been with the Grizzlies throughout his coaching career, how many championships can he win with the Grizzlies? Ten or twenty?

Not to mention that Stern can't tolerate himself, I'm afraid the bosses of the other 28 teams in the league can't tolerate him anymore, and fans may not be able to tolerate him.

Then the only outcome I will definitely be completely banned by the league, and no team will hire me to be their head coach.

In fact, Jiang Dongbing himself has plans in this regard and cannot stay with the Grizzlies forever. However, the Grizzlies are the first NBA team to accept themselves, and Jiang Dongbing also wants to repay the Grizzlies' kindness.

But now the Grizzlies boss has changed, and Maikao has made a lot of money in the transaction. Jiang Dongbing feels that he has returned what he should have. Maybe after playing this season, it is time to consider where to go.

"There is no need to say thank you to me. We have such a deep friendship, saying thank you is too flirting." Bird hugged Jiang Dongbing's shoulder intimately again.

Jiang Dongbing smiled bitterly. If he remembered correctly, this was the second time he and Bird chatted in person, so why did he have a deep friendship? These old foxes can really go on the train.

After a while, the All-Star players from the East and West began to enter.

Although there are many star players in the Grizzlies, when Jiang Dongbing saw so many stars standing on the field, he couldn't help but sigh.

The quality of All-Star players in recent years has been quite high. Many of them are superstars that can be recorded in NBA history forever, especially in the West, whose lineup is really a bit terrifying.

The starting lineup O'Neal, Garnett, Jackson, Kidd and Billups are on the bench, and Duncan and Kobe are so luxurious.

The lineup on the East is almost intriguing. Although Iverson, Morning, Carter, Grant Hill and Eddie Jones are also famous, the Eastern Conference is definitely not as good as the Western Conference if it comes to overall strength.

It can be said that as long as both sides perform normally, the West can actually win the East, which means that the All-Star MVP will definitely appear among Western players.

Jiang Dongbing first shook hands with Bird, and then left the court. After the referee blew the whistle, the starting players of both sides began to play.

The atmosphere at the scene immediately became high, and the top-notch stars in the league appeared!

Although there are actually players on the bench who are extremely strong, such as Duncan. If his strength is in the East, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the strongest person, but because he does not get a high vote, he can only be substitute.

Garnett's popularity would be higher than Duncan. In fact, Jiang Dongbing didn't expect it, but the real votes were there, so Jiang Dongbing couldn't believe it.

Jiang Dongbing recalled the All-Star Game voting that he remembered, and it seemed that Garnett had higher votes than Duncan most of the time, and Nowitzki, the three centers, has always been at the bottom of the vote...

"Come on, guys, although some of you may not care about the honor of the All-Star MVP, you still have to be on, because your teammates may care." Jiang Dongbing said to the five starters before the player appeared.

Several people couldn't help but wonder, don't care about the All-Star MVP? If they can get it, who wouldn't care? It's better than nothing.

Although the value of the All-Star MVP is not high, its importance is impressive than the best month or the best week. If you don’t care at all, it is completely self-deception.

...

The game on the court has begun, O'Neal won the jump ball with his old enemy Mourning, and the Western Conference sounded the horn of the offensive.

In the first offensive round, Billups passed the ball directly to Jackson, and Jackson then hit a three-pointer.

In the next offensive round of the Eastern Conference, Iverson held the ball alone, dodged and moved, and used his super breakthrough ability to score two points.

Both sides were back and forth, and the ten top players played very lively on the court, which truly interpreted what it means to show their magical powers through the Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea.

Jiang Dongbing sat on the sidelines and laughed out loud. Jackson won the All-Star MVP this time, and I hope he will have it!

Don't forget the Western Conference's two-point guard combination in the backcourt, Billups kept passing the ball to Jackson, and the other starting lineup was Kid who didn't attack Kidd!

Kidd doesn't attack much at all. Even if he has the ball in his hand, he will find opportunities to pass it out. Compared to the inside player, it will definitely be easier to pass it to Jackson, who is on the outside.

This led to Jackson almost taking nearly two-thirds of the shooting rights of the Western Conference. Even if the shooting percentage is not particularly good, the score will soar, which will far away from other players on the court.

O'Neal vomited sour water in his heart. He felt that he had completely quarrel with the Grizzlies. As long as he was unlucky, there must be a Grizzlies, either a Grizzlies coach or a Grizzlies player.

With a personality like O'Neal, he is actually very interested in All-Star MVP, but now he can't get too many opportunities to use his mobile phone on the court.

In addition, the old enemy Mo Ning was in the position. When he saw him, he seemed to be like a murderer of his father, and he tried his best to confront him, making O'Neal very depressed...

Mo Ning's strength is definitely far inferior to O'Neal. Judging from the two's matchup records, O'Neal has always been able to stabilize Mo Ning in the game, regardless of whether it is offense, defense, or rebounding.

O'Neal even scored 46 points and 20 rebounds on Mourning's head, 14 of these 20 rebounds were frontcourt rebounds.

However, although Mourning is not as strong as O'Neal, it's not something he can do, because he has been taken out to compare with O'Neal. So whenever he meets O'Neal, Mourning will definitely fight to the death. Not to mention the moment that is attracting attention from the world, he cherishes every opportunity to defeat O'Neal.

Mo Ning also knew very well that as long as O'Neal received the ball, it would be difficult for him to defend O'Neal's basket offensive. After all, he was only 208 cm tall and was not a player like David Tyron, so Mo Ning simply used the method of going around the front to cut off the pass from others to O'Neal.

The two point guards on the outside don't pass the ball to him. Now Mo Ning is fighting with him again. It's strange that O'Neal can play comfortably. On the court, he just follows his teammates to run back and forth...
