Saturday, February 14, 2004, Staples Stadium.

At this time, the Staples Arena was full, especially with O'Neal's arrival, Los Angeles fans were shouting O'Neal's name.

If last year's Atlanta All-Star Jordan was the protagonist of the league's launch to attract traffic.

Then this time, O'Neal is undoubtedly the protagonist of the Los Angeles All-Star.

As a person who likes lively, facing the enthusiasm of Los Angeles fans, how could O'Neal let go? Just like a king who returns to his kingdom again, O'Neal interacted with the Lakers fans on the scene in front of Kobe.

After the interaction, O'Neal did not forget to smile and say to Kobe: "Viol, you will never become king in Los Angeles!"

The Lakers audience saw O'Neal greeting Kobe on the big screen with a smile and thought O'Neal wanted to make up with Kobe without grudges. Who would have thought that O'Neal would say such things?

So when Kobe saw him facing O'Neal's "good-promotion", Kobe actually looked very ugly and glared at O'Neal. Many Lakers fans at the scene even booed Kobe.

Listening to the booing at the scene, Chen Xiao and James next to Kobe looked at each other. Is this fat man also broken?

It's simply awkward.

Seeing O'Neal twisting his big butt after he got his daily tricks into Kobe, talking and laughing with the Los Angeles Lakers celebrities on the scene, and interacting intimately with the Lakers fans on the scene, Chen Xiao and James sighed almost at the same time.

"It's indeed a big villain!"

The second day of All-Star Weekend, Saturday, is the day of the Skills Competition.

Compared with yesterday's rookie challenge, today's skills competition has attracted more attention.

After all, whether it is a skill challenge, a three-point contest or a slam dunk contest, most of the players participated in it are stars.

More importantly, all the All-Star players arrived on the scene tonight.

It’s not like yesterday’s rookie challenge, and there are no few stars around the fans.

Especially O'Neal, who made Lakers fans the most happy, came to the scene tonight, which made the atmosphere tonight more than a level.

Although O'Neal's plan to invite coffee failed yesterday, this did not affect O'Neal's good mood.

As the protagonist of the All-Star this time, he came to Los Angeles to tell Kobe and Bass the old man how popular he is in Los Angeles, how good he is now, and how bad it is for the Lakers to lose him.

So, tonight, O'Neal was quite active.

In the first mixed shooting competition tonight, after the Los Angeles team (Lakers) led by the Magic won the championship, O'Neal actually grabbed the trophy in David Stern and presented the Champions League awards to this mixed shooting competition in place of David Stern.

David Stern was so embarrassed that he was also amused and laughed and cried.

But when he heard the huge cheers at the scene, David Stern smiled and shook his head, let him go.

David Stern is also a very smart person. How could he not know why O'Neal rushed to the center of the court from time to time?

It's just to make Lakers fans cheer him.

Look at how ugly Kobe's face looks on when the Lakers fans cheered him on the scene?

O'Neal is showing Kobe and Bass their influence in Los Angeles.

O'Neal's move did not actually harm Kobe and Old Bass, but it was extremely insulting.

You are the heads of Los Angeles now, but your Los Angeles are willing to cheer for a Nets now player.

You are in Los Angeles, without foundation and unpopular.

So, every time O'Neal did this, it was equivalent to hitting Kobe and Old Bass in the face.

This fat man is really cruel.

So O'Neal was very satisfied when he saw Kobe who was very uncomfortable on the sidelines.

This is the first slap.

There are three slaps in the skills competition, three-point competition and slam dunk competition.

So, poisonous snake, enjoy it.

By the way, looking at the two boys in front of Kobe who glared at him, Chen Xiao and James.

O'Neal felt that if these two kids win the championship, he would definitely not present them with awards, hum!

O'Neal ran up to present himself with the awards, and he was the only one who was happy. David Stern was embarrassed, and the good-looking magician was also uncomfortable. The magician also wanted to play with the Lakers.

I won't offend you Shaq, and don't let me offend Kobe and Old Bass.

I'm not your face-slapping tool.

However, after all, the magician is too old and has a good personality. Although he has a high status, he can't even make him turn against O'Neal on this occasion.

In the end, I could only get the award awkwardly and ended up quickly.

At the end of the mixed shooting competition, the next event for tonight's skills competition is the skills challenge competition.

Before going to the Skills Challenge, Chen Xiao specially promised his idol Kobe, "Idol, don't worry, that fat man will definitely not be able to slap you in the face tonight. Xiao Zhan, next is our stage!"

“…”

Looking at Chen Xiao and James who were squeezing Chen Xiao's words, why did Kobe feel a little uncomfortable while feeling moved?

After all, in Los Angeles, in your own territory, you actually need to rely on others to protect your face.

For the boss of the Science and Technology Department, this is indeed a bit uncomfortable.

I have to say that fat man really knows how to play.

If it weren't for Chen and LeBron, he might have been humiliated by this fat man tonight and his mentality exploded.

After all, except for these two opponents who have already fought with O'Neal, unless he comes to participate in these games by himself, O'Neal will go up and steal the show and slap him in the face if anyone wins the championship.

After putting away these thoughts, Kobe shook his head and secretly cheered Chen Xiao in his heart.

On the other side, O'Neal was cheering for his legs, and now Nets' substitute point guard Fisher.

"Derick, I won the championship tonight, and I will take you back to Los Angeles in the future!"

Good guy, O'Neal's words exploded Fisher's morale.

Although New Jersey is also very good, it is very close to Paradise New York.

But Fisher, who has been in Los Angeles for so many years, feels that Los Angeles is still suitable for him.

So, after he went to the Nets, he kept regretting that he had followed the wrong boss.

If Kobe was following him and betting on Kobe, the Lakers wouldn't have used him as a top deal.

Look at Braxson, because he bet on the right treasure, how comfortable he has lived in Los Angeles.

Chen Xiao's teammate at Marquette University, the all-round inside Braxson was indeed almost the only Lakers player who was willing to follow Kobe last season.

Most of the others are over O'Neal, and a small number are neutral.

Old Buss is also cruel. While choosing Kobe, he took away all the players who supported O'Neal.

However, there are also benefits to doing this, that is, although the Lakers are very dissatisfied outside, fans, and media in Los Angeles this season, they are still quite united inside.

Just like this season, if the Lakers are not united within, they can be disbanded.

Back on the court, Fisher, who was the first to play in the Skills Challenge, was like a god's help after being inspired by O'Neal. He was the first to play and completed all the movements in just 28.7 seconds.

This result is nearly 7 seconds faster than the result of the boss winning the championship last year.

At the same time, Fisher's score is also the best result in the Skills Challenge so far.

Although Fisher is a role player, he has to be said to be very capable in the skills challenge, because he has no shortcomings in the skills of point guards.

Strong is not that strong, but there are absolutely no flaws.

In addition, his mentality is stable enough. It can be said that ordinary star point guards may not necessarily be able to do anything to Fisher in this game.

Chen Xiao felt that Boss Ji could not beat him.

So after Fisher came out and got this result, Marbury and Boykins, who appeared later, were under a lot of pressure.

Both made more or less mistakes, and Marbury's first round score was in the end, and Boykins was after Fisher scared Marbury and Boykins away with his own score, O'Neal on the sidelines was very excited to sing and dance.

Especially when Chen Xiao came on the court, O'Neal even made a fuss to instruct Los Angeles fans on the scene to put pressure on Chen Xiao.

Soon, the entire Staples was covered up by booing.

Although there were many Chinese and Asian fans at the scene this time, there was no doubt that the Lakers fans in Los Angeles still accounted for the majority.

Therefore, when the Lakers incited the booing of Lakers fans, the other Chinese fans could not hear all the cheers of Chen Xiao.

Seeing Chen Xiao being booed by the audience at this time, although there was a cheerful smile on his face, the little Zhan, Kobe Wade, Yao Yao, Luo Geji and others on the sidelines were still very worried.

To be honest, for some reason, Chen Xiao was actually even more excited when he heard the overwhelming booing at the scene.

"Is this the mentality of Mr. Key?"

Chen Xiao felt that his mentality and confidence in adversity were really raised by the winning gifts brought by the score experience card.

The critical moment of a game is far more than the final final kill. When the team needs you to stand up, you can stand up. This is the critical moment. Chen Xiao’s score at critical moments in the game has always been the best in the league.

Many fans say that his shooting percentage is only about 50%, but when watching the game, it seems that he never misses the shot, and his shooting percentage feels at least 60% to 70%.

This feeling is an impression point.

Because the critical moments are too accurate and the audience is too impressed.
