    Karl's first game with the Nuggets ended in victory. Although the players' tactical movements were not so precise, the fans had a preliminary understanding of the team's new coach, and the team  Performance, especially with Anthony's continued recovery, fans have expectations for the team's present and future.

    The game against the Sonics ended, and it was also the Nuggets' last game before the All-Star Game. During this period, the final votes for the All-Star Game were also released. Among the votes announced in the previous issue,  Anthony is ranked third among forwards in the Western Conference. As long as he is not overtaken, he will be selected as an All-Star for two consecutive years.

    After his outstanding performances in recent games, Anthony's ranking has been rising in the latest and final All-Star voting rankings. When the final voting was completed, he not only surpassed all forwards in the Western Conference, but even surpassed  The extremely popular Kobe Bryant and Allen Iverson retained their All-Star votes by a narrow margin. Behind this, it is said that Yang Yi in China did a great job for Anthony during this period.  In terms of publicity, on the one hand, we have to lament Yang Yi's ability to seize the opportunity. On the other hand, we also have to lament the power of Chinese fans.

    Anyway, no matter what the reason is, in this final stage, after Anthony joined the league, he won the All-Star vote king for two consecutive years. This is absolutely unprecedented in the history of the league. This made the entire Denver fans excited. Although  There is no actual honorary reward for being selected as an All-Star and becoming the All-Star vote leader, but for local fans, this is definitely the most glorious moment in local basketball history.

    Somewhat similar to the last All-Star Game, Anthony received invitations to the league's dunk contest and the Rookie Challenge before the game started. He knew that it was unrealistic to accept two events at the same time. This was already achieved last season.  In order to prove it, he asked Andrews and Yang Yi to conduct a fan survey online. The results of the votes were unprecedentedly clear. About 80% of the fans wanted to see Anthony participate in the dunk contest in the All-Stars.

    In the end, Anthony chose to follow the opinions of the fans. After becoming a judge of the Slam Dunk Contest last time, this time he will enter the main round of the All-Star Slam Dunk Contest as a contestant!

    One thing worth noting is that the venue for this All-Star Game is Denver, the Pepsi Center Arena, so participating this time is very meaningful for Anthony and Denver fans.  matter.

    On February 20, local time, amidst the high expectations of people, the All-Star Game finally kicked off in Denver. There was an endless stream of fans outside the Pepsi Arena, as if to watch  The All-Stars cost nothing and are as good as the Chinese Spring Festival.

    The All-Star Game is on the second day of the All-Star Weekend, but for fans, especially local Denver fans, this first day is also very attractive to them. Needless to say, the reason is,  Of course it¡¯s Anthony.

    Anthony and Fox arrived at the arena hand in hand. After arriving, they immediately caused a commotion among the fans. Anthony waved and then entered the arena under the escort of security personnel.

    As before, after the warm-up events, Shooting Stars and Skills Contest, it was followed by the three-point shooting contest and dunk contest, which were full of boos and the focus of the first day of the competition.

    In this three-point contest, Kyle Korver from the Nuggets and the winner of the last All-Star Game, Quentin Richardson from the Clippers, and Lehner from the New York Knicks  Joe Johnson from the Suns and Radmanovic from the SuperSonics were invited to participate in the All-Star Three-Point Shootout Contest. It is worth mentioning that Radmanovic¡¯s teammate Ray?  Allen was also invited by the league to participate in this event, but in the end Ray Allen ultimately declined the invitation in order to participate in the All-Star Game.

    The Three-Point Contest is also full of highlights. The most eye-catching one is naturally the showdown between Korver and Leonard. In the last game, Nuggets player Korver and former Nuggets player Lehner  Germany launched a fierce competition. In the end, Korver won the championship between the three-time champions Stojakovic and Leonard. This time, Stojakovic had withdrawn.  Entering the stage of the three-point contest, Leonard naturally became the biggest opponent.

    The game was full of highlights, but the process was a bit unexpected. As the biggest competitor, Leonard was eliminated by one point in the preliminary stage of the game, while Korver was eliminated.  They made great progress all the way, scored a high score of 20 points in the finals, and finally easily won the championship of the three-point shooting competition. For local fans, it can be said to be a very good start.

    But in fact, although Korver won the final championship, for the fans, Korver did not encounter too big a challenge. This is obviously not what they want to see, so for the next dunk contest,  They looked forward to it even more.

    In this slam dunk contest, the new dunk champion from the last All-Star Game is Chris Anderson from the Knicks, Stoudemire from the Suns, and rookie Josh from the Atlanta Hawks.  ? Smith and Anthony, four people compete as contestants for the final championship of this event.

    In the expectation and cheers of the audience, the players entered one after another. Because it was a home game, and their popularity and strength were not comparable to that of several others, Anthony was also ranked last in the order of appearance.  One, the result can be imagined. Waves of cheers from the fans reached a peak when Anthony came on the stage. The deafening cheers not only drowned out the sound of DK on the scene, but also the ceiling of the arena.  There seemed to be signs of being overturned.

    No matter what, Anthony¡¯s participation in the slam dunk contest as a contestant can be said to be a highlight for fans.

    Shortly after the players entered the court, the players warmed up, and then the dunk contest began. The first person to appear was Chris Anderson, the defending champion from the Knicks, because Anthony was also a contestant this time.  As a member of the Slam Dunk Contest, Anderson, who got a lot of ideas from Anthony last time, can be said to be completely relying on his own free play this time.

    Anderson's first dunk was when he threw the ball in the midfield, then rushed to the inside and dunked hard. This didn't seem to be a very difficult ball, but it took him three or four more times before he barely dunked it in. The result is predictable.  , even though he knew that Anderson was the champion of the last dunk contest, he only got a low score of 41 points in the end. Even Anderson himself couldn't stop shaking his head after the dunk.

    Next up was "Little Bully" Stoudemire. Amid the cheers of the fans at the scene, Stoudemire started from the baseline. After rushing into the penalty area, he pulled the lever with both hands, turned over and dunked. He succeeded once and for all, as an inside man  It is said to be very outstanding, but perhaps it was because before the All-Star Game, Stoudemire promised to provide innovative dunk methods. This made the fans' reaction not as high as expected. In the end, the referee also scored 45 points.  Fraction.

    Next on the stage is Josh Smith, a rookie from the Atlanta Hawks. This rookie has the lowest attention among this contestants, although in previous games, the dunker has demonstrated his super physical fitness.  , but because the playing time is limited, the room for performance is not particularly large, and the Eagles' performance this season is not satisfactory, so it does not receive much attention, which is naturally reasonable, but sitting off the court at this time  Anthony, however, looked at the court with piercing eyes. Unlike others, as a "experienced person", naturally until Smith's dunking ability in the early stages of his career, it can be said to be at the peak. His super physical fitness, although dunking is not as good as  Carter, Richardson and others were relaxed, but their explosive power was so eye-catching.

    Smith walked straight to the three-point line with the ball in his hand. With the ball in his hand, he almost didn't dribble, and went directly to the basket. Then he stepped on the free throw line and jumped up directly.

    The fans at the scene were in an uproar. In the NBA Slam Dunk Contest, there have been several free throw line dunks, and without exception, they have all been recorded in the classic history of the Slam Dunk Contest. Jordan's and Wilkins's are all.  It is a topic that people talk about after dinner, and now, as a rookie, Smith actually dares to make such a dunk choice. Regardless of success or failure, this courage is very worthy of recognition.

    Anthony's eyes were immediately attracted to Smith. During the game, he often performed flying dunks. It can be said that he has performed all the classic dunks one by one, but only the free throw line dunk.  This action is something he has never done before. It's not that he has no idea of ??trying it, but because this action, with his bounce, is indeed impossible. But now, Smith has once again challenged this action in the dunk contest.  Classic action.

    Smith was gliding in mid-air. His jump was very explosive, his height was sufficient, and his movements were very smooth. Under the flashing spotlights all around, he glided straight toward the basket.

    ¡°Bang!¡±

    There was a muffled sound, and amid the uproar of the fans at the scene, Smith slammed the ball into the basket with one hand. The sound echoed in the arena, and for a moment there was an indescribable feeling of excitement.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
