"Good evening everyone, welcome to the 1985 NBA All-Star Game! This is the Indianapolis Mountaineer Dome Stadium. I will explain this star-studded game to you. I am Dick Stockton."

The 1985 NBA All-Star Game finally kicked off at the Dome Stadium on the evening of February 10.

The main board venue of this competition, the Mountain Dome Stadium in Indianapolis is not a dedicated basketball court, but a large football field.

Therefore, its area covers much larger than that of an ordinary basketball hall and accommodates much more spectators. The number of spectators who came to the scene to watch the basketball feast tonight reached 60,000, more than three times that of an ordinary basketball hall.

This stadium, which was just built last year, was immediately temporarily renovated after becoming the home stadium of the Indiana Colts and undertook the All-Star Game for 85 years. Perhaps only such a magnificent venue is more suitable for the brilliant All-Star Game.

As soon as Gan Guoyang entered this large gymnasium, he began to sigh at the strong economic and technological strength of the United States at that time. He thought that China would have to develop such a large gymnasium for another 20 years before it could be built.

At the same time, he looked at the stadium stands that were 50% higher than the average basketball stadium stands, and the densely packed fans and spectators on it, and his heartbeat could not help but accelerate a little.

"First of all, let's introduce the honorary captains of both sides. The honorary captains of the Western Conference All-Star team is the shooting guard of the Los Angeles Lakers. The six-time All-Star lineup candidate, Jerry West!" In the first part before the game, when players enter the court, the first thing they introduce is the honorary captains of both sides, that is, retired old stars.

The Western Conference All-Stars chose Jerry West, the legendary "Logo" man, as the honorary captain. He looked elite in a suit and tie. Gan Guoyang also knew that this big guy was not only good on the court, but also turned his hand in the NBA after retirement.

Immediately afterwards, Western star players introduced their appearances one by one, and the stars also pay attention to their appearances. In terms of seniority, generally speaking, the more famous the player is, the lower the player is.

Of course, the five starting players must be the last five, but those who make it to the starter must be famous and powerful players with high qualifications.

Although Gan Guoyang is only a rookie and a Chinese, he is able to play in the fourth place, ranking behind England, Larry Nance and Calvin Knight, which fully shows that Gan Guoyang's strength is still highly recognized by other players in the league.

Olajuwon immediately entered the field, with Gan Guoyang being the second and the second being the top pick. Their superstar status was undoubtedly revealed in the first All-Star.

The five players who started in the Western Conference are Ralph Sampson, Adrian Dantley, George Gervin, Magic Johnson and Abdullah Jabbar.

Ramsey became the head coach of the Western Conference All-Star team this time, with two assistant coaches sitting next to him.

Immediately afterwards, the Eastern Conference All-Star lineup was the honorary captain of the Eastern Conference, a former superstar point guard, a star from the Rochester Royals and the Milwaukee Bucks, "Big-O" Oscar Robertson.

Of course, Gan Guoyang knew that this Oscar Robertson was a famous triple-double prince in NBA history. He once won a triple-double average per game in the season. But he didn't expect that the applause and cheers from the audience were much warmer than Jerry West.

"This Robertson doesn't seem to have received any particularly awesome honors in NBA history. Why is it so popular?" Gan Guoyang looked at Robertson with a suit buckle and slowly walked onto the court to greet the cheers of the fans, and was a little puzzled.

On this side of the Eastern Conference, the five starting players, Isaiah Thomas - until he was on the bench, he was smiling like a child; Michael Jordan, his face seemed nervous and a little tense, similar to Gan Guoyang; Moses Malone, as always, immersed in water; Dr. J, Irving, with a smile, looked decent and generous; Larry Bird, had nothing on his face.

Gan Guoyang looked carefully at Jordan standing opposite him. It makes sense that Jordan was selected as an All-Star starter in his rookie season, because his personal performance is so dazzling. Although he has been surpassed by Bernard King and Larry Bird in terms of average scores in the season, he is still ranked first in total score.

His extremely ornamental playing style and practical and efficient combination make him a new idol admired by young fans.

Gan Guoyang expressed his envy of this, and at the same time, this is also his continuous efforts to surpass Jordan, but he will not suppress Jordan.

When Gan Guoyang saw Jordan's depressed look, he knew that he must have been minding Thomas's intentional or unintentional excluding Jordan from the circle in the elevator.

Gan Guoyang disliked Thomas very much. He was also a newcomer and couldn't stand Thomas bullying the newcomer, so he talked to Jordan all the way.

But after arriving on the court, Gan Guoyang was in the west and Jordan was in the east, and several other young people were in the west. Gan Guoyang was helpless now, and it was impossible to help Jordan.

Besides, what Gan Guoyang tried his best to help tonight is another person, that is the starting power forward of the Western Conference, Ralph Sampson.

Both sides quickly took off their teams' sportswear and put on the special uniforms for the All-Star Game and stood on the stadium.

Of course, Gan Guoyang was a substitute, so he had to sit off the court and watch the game. This was the first time Gan Guoyang has been a substitute since he came to the NBA.

The Western All-Stars, who are considered away games, wear blue jerseys, while the Eastern All-Stars, who are considered home games, wear white jerseys. The old enemies, Jabbar and Moses Malone, are already standing in the middle circle and ready to jump the ball.

Although Jabbar is older, his height is really advantageous, so he still got the ball right and transferred the ball to Magic Johnson. The All-Star Game officially began.

Although the All-Star Game is a performance-oriented game and winning or losing is not important, since it is a game, it is natural to decide the winner and loser. Johnson also took the ball and started to organize the offense as usual.

According to Ramsey's simple arrangement before the game, his request was to "release the fight under the command of the magician", which was basically the same as there was no requirement.

But Ramsey still instructed the Magician to give Ralph Sansenpu more passes and give him more opportunities to perform. His reason is naturally to hope to support the young people.

For the Magician, he has no need to win an MVP. His whole focus this season is on revenge against the Celtics.

Jabbar is like an old god and has no interest in the All-Star MVP.

George Gerwen has won the All-Star MVP once in 1980 and has no interest in winning another one.

As for Adrian Dantley, a stingy guy who plays ugly, the Magician really can't think of any reason to get him MVP.

So the Magician naturally agreed happily, so he began to look for the opportunity to pass the ball to Sampson on the outside for the first ball after the game.

Sampson was also repeatedly blocking the position, but Bird's defense was very active at the beginning. Sampson finally got the ball from the low position on the left and turned over and jumped into the basket. As a result, the shot was too hasty, and the ball hit the basket's neck and the rebound was taken by Jordan.

"This guy is too anxious. You can die if you shoot slowly." Gan Guoyang was sitting off the court, but he was more anxious than Sampson. You should know that Sampson's chance was exchanged for his vow of "average three assists per game".

When he thought of having to score three assists per game, and he now averaged only 1.2 assists per game, Gan Guoyang became big on the bench and his head became big.

At this time, the Eastern Conference All-Stars had already launched a counterattack. Thomas passed the ball to Bird at the bottom line, but Bird was double-teamed by two people. The transfer ball almost made a mistake, but accidentally hit Moses Malone who was picked up by the basket. Malone wanted to make a layup directly, but Jabbar might be used to it. As soon as he saw Moses Malone want to make a layup, he slapped it over, interfering with the layup.

However, Jordan later inserted, ran up and jumped over everyone, and slapped the ball in the air and the basketball slid into the basket.

The first backcourt rebound, the first frontcourt rebound, and the first points all came from Michael Jordan.

Gan Guoyang suddenly became worried that this guy Jordan would not steal the show.

Sure enough, Jordan quickly grabbed the second rebound, George Gervin missed a layup, and Jordan grabbed the rebound and launched a quick counterattack again.

The ball stumbled in the frontcourt for three passes and two guides. After all, these superstars were just a temporary performance team, so don’t have any tactics, and there is no basic tacit understanding of the offensive.

The ball finally came to Isia Thomas's hands outside the three-point line. Thomas saw that the defender was far away. It was an All-Star game anyway, so he jumped and made a three-pointer.

The ball turned on the basket twice and actually entered! The Eastern Conference All-Stars led 5:0 at the opening.

"This ball is also scored!" Gan Guoyang saw that Thomas could make all three-pointers. You should know that during the regular season, Thomas' three-point shooting percentage was only 25%.

Then, the two sides started a mistake on the court. Either you made a mistake in dribbling or I took a walk. For two or three rounds, the whole court was in a mess.

This is not because the players are not at a high level, but because their level is too high, but the players lack tacit understanding. If you want to play on the court, but you don’t have such a fit, you will naturally make mistakes.

And at the beginning, the players on both sides were really defending seriously, so the scene would definitely not look good.

However, as the competition deepens, the two sides become more and more relaxed and start performing their heart's content, the competition will naturally become more and more exciting.
