Two Hundred and Ninety-Two: God's Party

The subsequent slam dunk contest was not so exciting. Jeremy Evans, the Jazz player, is not well-known, and Budinger and Derek Williams' dunks are nothing new. Paul George's flying over Hibbert is indeed a gimmick, but it's not that amazing.

After all, everyone has seen too many things like a small man flying over a big man. Two years ago, "Little Potato" Nate Robinson even flew over Howard. In addition, last year, Griffin and McGee had a "fairy fight" in the slam dunk contest, but this year it suddenly dropped a level, and the fans naturally couldn't raise it.

Overall, the dunk contest went pretty dull. In an interview after the game, some people also said bluntly, "Part of the reason for this is that the three-point contest is really exciting. And the slam dunk contest has no bright spots, so it is difficult to arouse everyone's cheers."

That's right, for the first time ever, the slam dunk contest isn't as exciting as the three-point contest.

It can be seen from the league's ranking of the games, which of the three individual events is the highlight. The slam dunk contest is the finale every year. But today, Link definitely stole all the limelight.

The slam dunk contest ended with Jeremy Evans winning the championship, but after the game, people found that they had no impression of Evans' dunk...

Therefore, Link was the one who was discussed the most tonight. His miraculous 26 points, his miraculous 22-for-25 shooting in the second round, and his miraculous record all attracted much attention.

Of course, Link himself was also very happy. In addition to taking the three-point champion and breaking the record of the three-point contest, Link triggered his reward clause. And this time, the incentive terms of the team and Nike were triggered at the same time.

This night was really quite satisfying for Link.

Money, popularity and honor, Link is like a harvester, always able to return with a full load during the All-Star Weekend.

The next night in the All-Star Game, Link played as a starter for the first time. Before the game started, Kobe even pressed Link's shoulder on the court to signal him not to be nervous.

Link is participating in the All-Star Game for the first time, sitting in the same locker room with a bunch of big shots, it's fake not being nervous. He and Gasol Jr. are like two children who dare not speak out loud.

But after playing, under Kobe's comfort and enlightenment, Link also let go of his hands and feet.

During the All-Star debut introduction ceremony, Link found that when he was introduced, the cheers at the scene were no lower than others, so he also gained great confidence.

So at the beginning of the game, Link received a pass from Kobe and made an alley-oop dunk. Allowing Kobe, a paranoid man, to pass the ball for him also proves that Link is indeed recognized by everyone.

But Link is always an all-star rookie, and the opportunity to perform has to be given to the big guys. For example, Kobe, his duel with James is still the highlight of this All-Star. And Kobe is very likely to surpass Jordan in total points in the All-Star Game today, so it is naturally impossible for Link to get too many shots.

After that, there are Paul and Griffin. These two guys moved the Clippers' set to the All-Star Game, with all kinds of empty dunks.

Griffin buckled very hard. After all, the starting position should belong to him, and this guy was holding his breath...

Of course, there were also some small episodes in this All-Star Game. In the third quarter of the game, Kobe was accidentally violated by Wade during a layup. As a result, the bridge of his nose was directly fractured, and a lot of blood came out at that time. People have said that this may be the first time in the history of the All-Star Game that the two sides have fought bloody games.

Kobe is indeed a little serious today, and he is a bit fierce in defense. Maybe Wade was also a little angry, so he got serious... What two terrible men.

But today, the craziest person is Durant. Even if Kobe is trying his best to grab points, even if Paul and Griffin are performing their alley-oop dunks. But Durant was stunned under such circumstances, scoring 36 points equal to James!

Durant has a very strong desire to score today.

And there is a very interesting statistic-he didn't pass the ball to Link once.

There is no doubt that Durant has been secretly competing with his forward partner.

During the interview, the beautiful reporter was snatched away by Link. In the three-point contest, Link broke the record again, and Durant was naturally not far behind. The grievances between the two continued in the All-Star Game.

In the end, Durant won the MVP of this year's All-Star Game with his 36-point performance, which can be regarded as an elation. Durant didn't even smile when he lifted the All-Star Game MVP trophy. I don't know if this guy is playing cool, or he thinks an All-Star MVP is still not enough.

Link performed well today, with 15 points, 4 rebounds and 6 assists. More assists, because he is happy to perform with other stars. Especially with Gasol Jr., Link and his teammates had a lot of fun on the court.

Although the protagonist today is not Link, Link can be considered to have experienced the fun of the All-Star Game. And playing as an All-Star starter is already an honor.

But after the game, looking at Durant who was still not very happy after winning the MVP trophy, Link still had lingering fears.

When I meet Durant in the future, that guy will definitely play harder. Especially in the playoffs, if the Grizzlies meet the Thunder again this year...

Link didn't think about it any further. Durant was getting more and more difficult. Unless he upgrades as soon as possible, Link knows that it will be difficult for him to compete with him.

So far, the 2012 All-Star Weekend has officially ended. After today, the players will soon be involved in more intense fighting in the second half of the season.

But until then, the players are still enjoying their holidays. After returning to the hotel, Link and Gasol changed their clothes non-stop, and rushed to a nightclub in Orlando.

Don't get me wrong, Link and Gasol are not old drivers, and they generally don't have fun by themselves unless someone calls.

Today, Link and Gasol couldn't refuse the person who invited them to the party.

After all, even Wade, James and other superstars have to sell his face.

"I never knew that Orlando's nightlife is so rich." Little Gasol felt a little dazzled when he looked at the brightly lit streets.

"As if you've known it since Memphis, we haven't even enjoyed our own city, let alone other people's cities." Link was a little nervous. Although this was just an entertainment party, when he thought of holding a party Link still finds it unbelievable.

One day, I would actually have something to do with him.

When I walked to the entrance of the nightclub, there were already many luxury cars parked here. Private bodyguards directly sealed off the area, keeping the reporters outside. Looking at this battle, you know that this party is not easy.

Seeing Link and Gasol Jr. approaching, the bodyguards did not nod and bow, but asked them for an invitation letter very politely but seriously. It seems that even if you are an NBA star, you cannot get in without an invitation letter.

"Frank, don't be so unreasonable to my guest! Standing in front of you is this year's new three-point champion, and he also broke the record in the All-Star Three-Point Contest. Believe it or not, he can also shoot you into the basket in the basket."

At this moment, a man came out of the nightclub and helped Link and Gasol out of the siege.

"I'm sorry, sir, I just want to ensure order and stability. Then, please come in, gentlemen." The bodyguard immediately became submissive, and Link and Gasol became more nervous.

Because just now, the person who helped them out was the organizer of the party. He's booked out entire nightclubs just to give friends and friends of friends a place to party. And all the people who were invited didn't dare to lose face, basically all of them were present.

Looking at the host of the party, Link swallowed.

With a cigar in his hand, Michael Jordan smiled and nodded at Link.
