NBA money-spending system sparks jealousy among female celebrities.

Chapter 228 Iverson and Kobe! Mutual respect!

"Oh? What kind of invitation?"

Su Yan asked with a smile.

Kobe continued, "I mentioned it to you before, I bought a new villa in Los Angeles."

Everything's settled now, just waiting for you to come over tomorrow for my villa party!!!

You can invite your girlfriend Taylor Swift, or other friends; however many people you bring, you're all warmly welcome.

Do you have time?

"of course."

Su Yan smiled and agreed, "The entire alliance is on holiday tomorrow. What could possibly happen to me? I will definitely keep my appointment."

Kobe had greeted him a long time ago.

Now that they've invited me during my vacation time, it would be somewhat inappropriate to refuse.

Moreover.

That was a villa party.

Su Yan, who has games all three days of the All-Star Weekend, is taking the opportunity to rest and relax, which is quite nice.

Speaking of rest.

Su Yan, who only took a break at around 2 p.m., had already played four games throughout the All-Star Weekend.

What's the status?

Still very good, even extremely excited.

Su Yan was almost certain that this was definitely the effect of the hidden buff of [Invigorating Armor lv1]: [The More You Fight, the Stronger You Become].

and.

Currently, the fourth buff has been maximized, putting him in a state of peak performance!

This year's All-Star Game.

As the only rookie, he should theoretically be timid and nervous.

But not at all now.

Su Yan couldn't wait to go all out in the main competition and unleash all the excitement he had accumulated from his buffs!

Also.

Speaking of villa parties.

Su Yan also thought about buying a villa, so he immediately conjured up the system panel to check his current balance.

Upgrade experience: 3077712/50000000.

Current balance: 4211.4.

It would have been better if he hadn't looked, because once he did... Su Yan was immediately very surprised.

"I clearly remember it was less than 3900 million, definitely less than 4000 million. There haven't been any matches recently, so how did it suddenly increase by more than 200 million?!"

Su Yan was puzzled.

The helpful system explained: "[The host participated in the Rookie Challenge and earned over 184 million US dollars.]"

"Oh? The Rising Stars Challenge counts too?"

Yes, host. You can make money in any officially organized competition, whether it's the NBA, international, or any others.

Su Yan understood and was happy.

This also means... he can still rack up money in tonight's All-Star game.

It's pretty good.

soon.

The time came to 9 o'clock.

Live broadcast across the entire stadium, the most anticipated game of All-Star Weekend... has finally arrived.

The starting lineups for both teams began to take the field.

Western Conference Starting Lineup: Point Guard: Nash, Shooting Guard: Kobe, Small Forward: Anthony, Power Forward: Stoudemire, Center: Duncan.

Eastern Conference Starting Lineup: Point Guard: Allen Iverson, Shooting Guard: Dwyane Wade, Small Forward: Su Yan, Power Forward: LeBron James, Center: Dwight Howard.

Iverson seemed out of place in this starting lineup.

But not in the way.

His popularity is something he built up himself, without stealing or robbing. He's got the talent... You should also try to enter the All-Star team in your retirement year.

I'm not talking nonsense.

Throughout NBA history, very few players have maintained the popularity of an All-Star appearance in their retirement year.

Iverson deserves this starting position.

However... this year, Iverson's goal is to win the championship, and to contribute to the path to that championship.

I'm not interested in showing off my skills in the All-Star Game.

He starts the game, enjoys himself, and that's enough. He'll only play for a short while before leaving the court.

Give the stage to young people.

This was something I had agreed upon with Coach D'Antoni before the game.

The coach of the Western Conference All-Stars is, of course, Phil Jackson, the Lakers' "Zen Master".

The Eastern Conference All-Star reserves are: Garnett, Bosh, Rondo, Pierce, McGrady, Rose, and O'Neal.

The Western Conference All-Star reserves are: Nowitzki, Billups, Durant, Deron Williams, Kidd, Gasol, and Zach Randolph.

"Jumpball!"

A contest for the ball between Howard and Duncan.

"Snapped!"

Howard was the first to slap the basketball away.

The Eastern Conference All-Stars got the first possession of the game.

Iverson pushed forward, facing Nash's defense. Nash, who already had little defensive ability, gave Iverson another step.

"Wow~"

You're welcome.

Iverson raised his hand and made a three-pointer.

He planned to attack for several rounds in a row before taking a break.

"Bang!"

Missed.

Howard jumped lightly to protect the rebound, not rushing to attack himself, but throwing it out to find Iverson.

"Good message!"

Iverson was delighted, took the ball without hesitation, and hit another three-pointer.

"Shh!"

This time it hit the target squarely.

During the transition offense, Kobe drove in and was hardly disturbed. Everyone thought he was going to make a powerful dunk.

who knows.

A high lob shot finds Duncan under the basket on the other side.

Duncan: ? ? ?

What? You're looking for me?

I'm just a minor character, don't give me any screen time!

Duncan had no interest in performing in the All-Star Game; he was more eager to win the championship.

But the food was already being fed to his mouth.

It's not appropriate not to eat it.

Duncan was forced to rise from the ground and deliver an alley-oop dunk.

With most of the season gone, Duncan had only done a handful of alley-oop dunks, but then he started the All-Star Game with an alley-oop.

It's a bit like forcing a duck onto a shelf.

"Wow~"

The fans were taken aback.

"Hahaha!"

Kobe laughed out loud. He just wanted the fans to not see a different side of Duncan, to create some entertainment value.

[Eastern 3: Western 2]

While the All-Star Game is no longer a pure performance event, it has already begun to take on a performative character.

at least.

Nobody plays seriously in the first quarter.

Switch to offense.

Iverson saw that everyone was creating opportunities for him to get the ball, and he also planned to attack a few times.

Take the ball decisively.

At the top of the right arc, facing Kobe, he executed a series of crossover dribble passes, followed by his signature crossover.

Obviously.

The speed was not fast, and the amplitude was not as large as before.

But Kobe still played along, his entire body flying to the left as he was faked out. Iverson, with a bright smile on his face, rushed into the paint from the right wing and scored with a layup.

hit.

"boom!"

The audience burst into applause.

Any football fan who knows even a little bit about the game knows exactly what that attack was all about.

Kobe and Iverson.

Both were among the "Big Four" shooting guards and members of the "Golden Generation of '96." They battled each other for over a decade, almost their entire professional careers.

Both of them were great.

Heroes meet heroes, and they admire each other.

This time, they faced off with smiles, and it was also Iverson's last All-Star game and his last season.

It means... that past grievances have been resolved.

This means... from bitter enemies to friends!!!
