Soul of the Golden State

Chapter 188 I Can Still Fly
The night is fleeting.

"Welcome back to CBS. You are now watching the 37th NBA All-Star Game. I am Dick Stockton. Tom Heinsohn and I will bring you the first report."

Tom Heinsohn is a Celtic legend, 8-time champion, and 6-time All-Star. Last year, he was selected into the Basketball Hall of Fame as a player.

After retiring, he worked as a coach, led the Celtics to two championships, and later changed his career as a commentator.

I have to say that no matter which profession, Heinsohn has done a good job. Since 84, he and Dick Stockton have commented on the finals every year, which is enough to prove how good his commentary work is. excellent.

"Jesse Cosey, Lee Jones and Hugh Hollins are the on-duty referees for this All-Star Game. The Western All-Star players wear white jerseys representing the home court. The head coach is Lakers coach Pat Riley. The Eastern All-Star team wears red jerseys, and the head coach is Celtics coach KC Jones. Next, let’s take a look at the starters of the two teams..."

The two stood one tall and one low in the middle of the field, each wearing a black suit, like two masters of ceremonies, sitting and commenting for the fans.

Soon after, it was time for player introductions. Everyone wore their team's warm-up suits and All-Star game jerseys underneath, and followed Stockton's introduction.

"Now, let's have West Lee, a Western Conference All-Star backcourt from the Golden State Warriors, 6-foot-2, point guard West Lee!"

When he heard his name being called, Li Weisi stood up from the bench, trotted all the way to high-five the players who were already standing in a row, and then stood at the far right end of the team.

At this moment, Frank in the audience was very relieved. He could feel the excitement in Li Weisi's heart on the stage. After all, this was his struggle with himself for many years, and now another goal of the year has been achieved.

There is nothing happier than realizing a childhood dream.

After the player introductions, the two sides made their debut, and the Eastern Conference starters were: Michael Jordan, Dr. J Irving, Dominique Wilkins, Larry Bird and Robert Parish.

Western starters: Li Weisi, Magic Johnson, James Worthy, Tom Chambers and Akeem Olajuwon.

Centers Olajuwon and Parish of the two teams stood on both sides of the center circle, waiting for the jump ball to start the game.

It has to be said that the star-studded center of the Western All-Star team is in stark contrast to the dim starlight in the East.

As the referee Cauchy threw the ball into the sky, the two center forwards took off at the same time, and the current All-Star Game officially began.

Maybe it was because the game started a little suddenly, and the two center forwards were absent-minded, so that when the ball was jumped, neither side actually touched the ball at the first time.

Fortunately, Olajuwon has quick eyes and quick hands, is young, and has faster reaction than Parish, so when he landed, he passed the ball to Li Weisi.

After receiving the ball, Li Weisi passed the ball directly to Magic Johnson and ran towards the Eastern half.

Fortunately, the East star team reacted very quickly. After realizing that the ball was handed over, they immediately returned to defense, which actually prevented Johnson from having a chance to make a fast break.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that the players of the Western Conference Star Team did not run as hard as they could.

It's the All-Star game, it's not the playoffs, so why work so hard?
After falling into the position, without fast break, you can't play that kind of beautiful attack.

But at this moment, Li Weisi ran back and got rid of Dr. J who was defending him.

After all, Dr. J was old and had bad legs, so he couldn't keep up with Li Weisi for a while. When Li Weisi just came outside the 45-degree three-point line, the ball was given to him.

This is the passing of the magician. As a teammate, you can feel the opponent's passing skills more than as an opponent.

This pass is not under me!
A thought flashed in Li Weisi's mind, and Li Weisi immediately turned around and shot a three-pointer. This is not the time to compete with the magician for passing the ball.

Tiger soldiers with spears and spears, and eagle soldiers with bows and arrows.

Li Weisi took the lead in scoring for the Western Stars, making a good start.

When running back, Johnson held out his old smile and reached out to Li Weisi.

Li Weisi froze for a moment when he saw it, and then reached out to give the magician a high-five. This feeling of being teammates with a historical superstar is really different.

Although Li Weisi and Ma Long are also teammates, Ma Long and the magician have two completely different styles. Ma Long is like a silent engineer, doing his own work very beautifully, so that you can't pick any thorns.

But a magician, like an artist, outlines a moving work like a powerful and unconstrained style.

It was the Eastern Stars' turn to attack. After Jordan dribbled the ball halfway, he took the initiative to hand the ball to Dr. J.

Firstly, this is the last All-Star that Dr. J participated in, so I have to give my childhood idol some face. Secondly, Li Weisi just hit Dr. J, so Dr. J must be called back, right?
Dr. J naturally understood Jordan's kindness, and after receiving the ball, he put on a three-threat look.

However, Li Weisi, who was defending him at this time, stepped back a meter decisively, and assumed a posture of preventing breakthroughs and not preventing shots.

Dr. J felt that he had been insulted, his brows furrowed, and then, he stepped forward and chose to break through...

Well, not everyone shoots from beyond the arc.

Li Weisi's small body firmly blocked Dr. J's path, seeing that Dr. J was about to bump into Li Weisi, but Dr. J was a generation of superstars after all, how could he be guarded by Li Weisi.

I saw that Dr. J was stuck on Li Weisi's left side with his left foot as the axis, and then he turned around and got rid of Li Weisi's defense, then took off with one step and flew towards the basket.

Yes, it's really flying.

Dr. J stepped one step ahead of the free throw line, flew up directly, and after a long gliding, dunked the ball hard into the basket.

Even though I am almost 37 years old, I, Owen, can still fly!
Dr. J's announcement to the world was naturally accepted by everyone.

Dr. J's slam dunk directly ignited the atmosphere of the scene.

Dick Stockton said with emotion: "This is still the Dr. J we are familiar with. He can still take off from 4 meters away and dunk the ball into the basket!"

Facing the slam dunk that everyone cheered, Li Weisi frowned, because he felt that Olajuwon was releasing water, no, he was releasing the sea.

Olajuwon, who was clearly near the basket, turned a blind eye to Dr. J's attack on the basket, and his feet seemed to have taken root, without moving at all.

Although Li Weisi knew that in the All-Star Game, the players would not go all out to play, but it was unacceptable for Li Weisi to score so easily against the opponent.
