Chapter 1344 Starlight Shines

"Daddy, I want to watch you play."

Tang Tian's participation in the Masters Tournament was entirely because of a word from his son Downs.

His precious father naturally had no choice but to obey.

And after he revealed in front of the media that he was participating because of his son, Kobe responded quickly and would also participate in the Masters.

This is to support Tang Tian.

After Kobe, Ginobili and Parker also responded one after another.

Tang Tian couldn't bear to see these old guys, so he simply called Yao Ming up.

The format for this year's Masters is Varsity USA vs. International.

All the players who will play now are from the international team. Kobe saw Aite mentioning Jordan on Twitter. Jordan also wanted to fight Tang Tian for a long time, so he agreed.

Jordan, Barkley, Reggie Miller...

Ever since, this year's All-Star Celebrity Game has become a fan's carnival party. Retired celebrities come together to play an exhibition game for Downs.

Downs became the one with the biggest card for a while.

The league also knows that this Masters is different from the past. In the past, this year's game was held in a small arena, but this year it was directly played in the United Center arena.

With a full attendance rate, the enthusiasm of the fans seems to be higher than that of the main game.

This is also a reasonable thing.

The All-Star Game happens every year, but this kind of Masters Game is unique, and no one wants to miss it.

All major media arranged live broadcasts that day, and the number of media and reporters on the scene also hit a new high.

No one expected that the Masters Tournament would turn out like this. You must know that this was originally a warm-up match, and it was also the most inconspicuous.

But now it's finished as the highlight of All-Star Weekend.

It can only be said that life is full of surprises, and these are also the most interesting places.

On February 17, after participating in the star activities outside the arena during the day, the fans all entered the arena early to wait for the upcoming Masters game.

Half an hour before the start of the game, the celebrities of the two teams also entered the field one after another.

After there are more celebrities this year, the cross-border one did not come, and the competition is completely a PK between celebrities.

Not enough. Such a contest has elevated the overall level of the game, and it is also what fans are most looking forward to.

During the appearance ceremony, the players of the two teams were introduced one after another.

For the U.S. team, Jordan, Kobe, Reggie Miller, Duncan, O'Neal, Barkley, Wade, David West, head coach Kenny Smith.

For the international team, Parker, Ginobili, Tang Tian, ​​Nowitzki, Yao Ming, Mutombo, Diaw, Olajuwon, and head coach Nash.

It's true that the stars are shining.

Especially when Tang Tian came out with a big belly, the fans who hadn't seen him wearing a jersey for a long time wanted to scream and laugh.

Sure enough, after the NBA super giants retire, their belly is their biggest enemy.

But the warm-up session that followed took them by surprise.

With a big belly, Tang Tian still dunked casually, and even performed a signature big windmill, which ignited the atmosphere of the scene.

The photographer mischievously took shots of Jordan and Kobe. Sure enough, both of them looked surprised.

Especially Jordan, his expression seemed to be that he didn't expect Tang Tian to be so good at fighting, and he regretted coming.

But the god of basketball is the god of basketball after all, his expression flashed, and then he showed off a hard dunk, showing that he can still play.

After the warm-up, the scene entered the opening ceremony, and the two teams started to play one after another.

Wade, Kobe, Jordan, Duncan and O'Neal on the US team.

On the international team, Parker, Ginobili, Diaw, Nowitzki and Yao Ming.

To the fans' surprise, Nash didn't let Tang Tian start.

After the starting lineup came out, Kenny Smith on the opposite side also revealed "what happened" with exaggerated expressions and movements.

But soon he made a "vicious" expression, apparently to make Nash pay the price.

The final warm-up was over, and the starters of the two teams came on stage one after another.

O'Neal and Yao Ming's jump ball.

The cheers on the scene also exploded. This is a Yaosha duel that I haven't seen in many years.

Yao Ming has now become a female Zhao Riyue. Although O'Neill is also very fat, he looks like a younger brother.

With neither of them able to jump up, Yao Ming used his height to return the ball to the half court, giving the international team the opportunity to attack first.

Ginobili holds the ball in the frontcourt and plays pick-and-rolls with Yao Ming.

Yao Ming threw a club there, almost knocking Kobe over.

Fortunately, Kobe's belly was big enough to stop after buffering.

Ginobili took advantage of this huge screen to break through in a snake shape to the inside for a small throw.

"Shua!"

The basketball crashed into the net, and Ginobili had the first ball up.

Compared with others, Ginobili's state of retiring is obviously better.

Wade took the ball to the front court and gave the ball to Jordan.

This is for the basketball gods.

Jordan hit Dior with his back, a little unmoved, and chose the iconic turn and fall back.

It's a pity that the god is also old, and the stagnation in the air makes people anxious, and it's a three-way shot that almost turns around and leans back.

The ball hit the front, and Nowitzki turned around and received the rebound.

Nowitzki got the rebound and gave it to Parker, who ran to the frontcourt and scored a layup.

The players of the American team all looked at it with their big bellies. If they want to chase and defend this kind of ball, it is better for them to think about it now.

4 to 0.

The international team came up and gave the US team a blow.

At this time, the scene showed Nash sitting firmly on the bench.

It seems that after three years as a teaching assistant, Nash is about to graduate.

Wade still didn't have any singles in the frontcourt. Fortunately, Duncan took the lead and took off the offensive rebound to give Kobe back to the outside.

Kobe couldn't see his teammates, so he came directly.

The big belly swayed side to side with the change, and Kobe swayed away from Ginobili's iconic small back.

"Shua!"

Bryant scored the first point for the US team.

Kobe Bryant took a while to get back in shape to prepare for pregnancy, and now it seems that it has kept him in a very good state.

Nowitzki's iconic golden rooster in the frontcourt missed independently, O'Neal scored a rebound, and finally harvested the first statistic.

Kobe played Ginobili again in the frontcourt, but he didn't make the second shot.

It was Duncan again, this time he made a direct tip-up.

4 to 4.

The US team played a wave of 4-0 counterattacks and tied the score.

There were bursts of cheers at the scene, and the faces of the fans were full of smiles.

This is probably the most interesting game they have ever seen, with both body shape and level. The key is that the signature moves of the celebrities can be revisited.

It wasn't the best game they'd ever seen, but it had to be the funniest.

More than 6 minutes into the first quarter, the score on the court was 9-8.

After playing for a long time, these celebrities are obviously not physically strong, and their hit rate has also dropped.

Both sides have carried out a large-scale rotation, and everyone who can be on the bench has been used.

At this moment, there was a burst of cheers at the scene.

Because they saw that Tang Tian also took off his jersey and went up with him.

After more than half a year, they finally got to see Tang Tian play in the NBA again!

Although, he also has a belly.
