One Thousand Seven Hundred and Fifteen. I Want to Get the MVP!

New York is a very special place for basketball.

It has the most shining stage. The owner of the Knicks has a North American-level TV station. Playing here will never lack attention.

For example, David Lee, there is no shortage of players like him in the league. He is not bad, but when he was in the Knicks, his attention was ridiculously high. Aldridge, who is one level stronger than him, did not get the same attention as him.

And David Lee has such attention because of the city of New York.

However, in recent years, the Knicks have found it difficult to attract top free agents. They were able to win Howard and Dragic. The former wanted to leave the 76ers and the 76ers did not want him anymore, and the latter was because the Suns wanted to draft Antetokounmpo.

In addition to these special cases, the Knicks have only traded most of the team for Paul, traded Paul for Bynum, and signed Chandler Parsons.

This city gives basketball players a complicated feeling. They envy the spotlight here, but this is also the most taboo place for basketball players. Even ordinary high-quality role players don’t want to go here.

Of course, no one can resist money. If the Knicks offer a higher price than other teams, they will definitely go.

However, if the All-Star Game is held in Madison Square Garden, the stars will want to play.

In the history of the NBA, this is only the fifth time that the All-Star Weekend is held in New York. It feels very different to play here as a guest.

Since neither Howard nor Dragic were selected as All-Stars, everyone is a guest!

This year's All-Star Game, Coach Hollins served as the Western Conference All-Star head coach for the second time. The last time was the 11-12 season when the Grizzlies won the first regular season championship in team history.

In the East, Hawks coach Budenholzer served as the All-Star head coach. This is also the first All-Star head coach in the history of the Hawks. Although the Hawks have won two Eastern Conference regular season championships, they were not the first in the East before the All-Star Weekend in those two seasons.

After the rehearsal of the charity event was completed, the Western All-Star team conducted a simple cooperation training at the visiting team training ground.

During training, Sun Ce actively discussed cooperation with everyone, even Durant. Sun Ce asked Durant about the most comfortable shooting method.

Others think that a player shoots most accurately at a certain point, but the person concerned may not think that point is his favorite shooting point.

Speaking of Sun Ce and Durant, apart from the competition on the court and Scarlett Johansson often used Sun Ce to stimulate Durant off the court, the two really have no other grudges.

Being beaten in the game... Almost all superstars in the league have been beaten by Sun Ce, and Duncan has not escaped.

And this group of people must be people who love basketball and have devoted enough time and energy to basketball. It is difficult not to respect someone like Sun Ce who tries to find a way to win every game.

Durant only discussed Sun Ce, but he also respected Sun Ce in this regard.

I just saw Sun Ce discussing the cooperation with James, Harden, and Westbrook with these ball handlers; and asking Curry, Love, Duncan, and Durant about their favorite shooting positions... Durant asked in disbelief: "Lord, do you still want to win the MVP this time?"

"How do you know? Is it so obvious?"

"..."

"Will you help me?"

"..."

Reject or not? Durant is actually a very face-conscious person.

Rejecting such things in person is really not his forte.

Otherwise, he would not have such a reputation in the original time and space. If he had not said "I chose the most difficult path" for the sake of face, his reputation would not be so bad.

The key is that Durant has never met someone like Sun Ce! He is too thick-skinned!

Seeing that the head coach of the Western All-Star team is the head coach of the Grizzlies, Durant has a feeling that the general trend is irreversible. Anyway, in his opinion, the All-Star MVP is not a very important thing, so he nodded to Sun Ce.

The last hidden danger was solved. Sun Ce didn't know if Durant would compete with him for the MVP if he scored more points. It was hard to say, but he had to deal with Durant, otherwise Durant would not cooperate, and it would be difficult for Sun Ce to compete for the MVP.

First of all, they have to win before they can consider the MVP.

After all, the lineup structure in the East is better.

Others didn't have much of a problem. Kobe said, "You're not afraid that I'll surpass you, are you?" and it was solved.

James promised a song so that he could also enjoy the Grammy-level "singer-songwriter" song. This kind of song can't even be bought.

The elementary school student brother took it as his promise. Harden of the same class is his fanboy...

In terms of team atmosphere, Sun Ce estimated that there would be no problem. He has the bonus of "A-level leader halo".

They only have three serious inside players in the West, Duncan, Aldridge, and Love, and only two unserious centers, Duncan and Aldridge.

At 6:30 in the evening, after the preparations were over, Sun Ce, James, Curry, Griffin, Rose, Duncan, Kobe and a group of seven entered the venue first and helped the NBA officials conduct a commercial charity event for more than half an hour. When it was almost 7:30, several people hurriedly started to exercise again. At 7:30, the players participating in the All-Star Game began to enter the venue...

...

Basketball fans in New York are quite unique. After the All-Stars from both sides appeared, many fans held signs saying "Welcon, Lord", and some fans held signs saying "Nets get out of New York", and some saying "Brooklyn is not New York".

And this, Sun Ce understands the reason. Since Sun Ce said "I don't want the city where I play to have another NBA team besides us", the Knicks felt that the reason they didn't attract Sun Ce's attention last summer, whose consecutive championships were ended, was because the Nets went to Brooklyn, New York.

Although the Knicks have not had an All-Star-level free agent join for many years except Howard, and Howard is not likely to be selected for the All-Star Game again, New York fans have always been very confident!

Just like the Los Angeles Lakers, they feel that all top free agents are likely to go to them, although this is not the case.

If the stars don't come, their fans will blame other people or other teams. The Lakers are okay and won't be bad for a long time, but the Knicks are different. They haven't really gotten better since the new century, so they are angry at the Nets...

The pre-match preparation time is almost over, and Sun Ce went to practice shooting again. It feels pretty good. He didn't touch basketball much in the past few days, which made him relax physically and mentally, but he didn't rest for a long time, just a few days, and he re-entered the game mode and was in good shape.

I looked at the special event "Little Overlord 2 is Everywhere".

"Little Overlord 2 is Everywhere (*):

Goal: The host needs to complete the achievement of the most All-Star Game MVPs in NBA history.

Event reward: Kobe Bryant's All-Star Game MVP Season Star Experience Card.

Note: Long-term event, no time limit, ends when the host retires."

To create the achievement of the most All-Star MVPs, that is, for now, Sun Ce needs to get at least VP, because Kobe has 5 times.

This also requires preparation for the season when Kobe is about to retire. His teammate James, who is good at dealing with things, wants to help him win the All-Star MVP again. At that time, Sun Ce will have to help James and Kobe... After all, it is a matter of reciprocity. They all play in the West and meet each other in the All-Star Game every year. James has a high status among American players. New generation superstars like Anthony Davis are James' fans. Now is the time for James' fans to enter the NBA as adults... That is, they must be prepared to win 7 All-Star MVPs!

At 7:58 in the evening, the starting lineups of the two teams came on the court.

On the West side, the starting lineup of Curry, Kobe, Sun Ce, Paul George, and James appeared.

On the East side, the starting lineup of Lowry, Rose, Evans, Griffin, and Gasol appeared.

Rose looked at Sun Ce who walked to the center circle to prepare for the jump ball. He wanted to win this time!

In addition to him, the other four All-Star starters also want to win. Some want to compete with Sun Ce, and some want to compete with James... Mainly, Gasol wants to compete with James, because the media has been saying that James is Kobe's best teammate since O'Neal...

In terms of the substitute lineup, the four All-Stars of the Hawks are more Buddhist. They have become team players. They are naturally happy to be selected as All-Stars, but only Millsap and Korver are more suitable for such a game. Teague is too sticky to the ball and Horford's play is too simple.

The other three, Paul, Gasol, and Hayward are also very motivated.

Even if Gasol doesn't hate the Grizzlies for selling him, he will want to prove that he is better than Aldridge. Hayward wants to compete with the double 3D...

In other words, the eight players in the East who want to win with all their strength are almost all going for the four All-Stars of the Grizzlies!

A tree stands out in the forest, which is probably the situation that Sun Ce and his group are facing now.

Sun Ce in the middle circle is also in pain now. Among the starters, they tried it when they were preparing for the game. He, Sun, is the best at jumping the ball!

It's not that his jumping speed is better than Paul George and James, but that he has better jump ball experience.

Fortunately, the person who jumped the ball was Gasol... Although the elder brother played the best regular season performance in his career in the past two years, he is 34 years old after all, and his jump ball is gradually approaching the younger brother who is at his peak.

At 8 o'clock in the evening, amid the cheers of the fans, the referee blew the whistle to start the game. The All-Star Game, which has been broadcast by T.N.T for 13 consecutive years and this year is jointly broadcast by American Cable TV and Canada's Columbia Broadcasting and Television, began!
