In this regard, they went Vtorogodok, who in his first season left is not as impressive impression. From this meeting promises to be even more interesting.

Kick, and his entire first half was dictated Rookie's, which set the tone, Michael Beasley.

When Superman is powerless before kryptonite …

second day Weekend turned out, though rich in events, but hopes still not justified. It all began with little-known competition “HORSE”, which was attended by Joe Johnson, Kevin Durant and OJ. Mayo. The most memorable moment was the shot player, “Memphis” from the rostrum. Repeat this Joe-Joe was not under force. Once the leader of the “Atlanta” flew first, many were waiting for the final fight hot, filled with various tricks, but, unfortunately, Durant was a bit of a different opinion, and only went on long throws, which he performed flawlessly.

Contest snipers left behind “Detroit.” Local legend and head coach of the women's team, Bill has once again demonstrated Lambir everyone why he is considered the best scorer among all the pivot of all time. And in the contest of skill was not equal to Derrick Rose, although it should be noted that this competition not so much a player has won, “Bulls” as the lost Tony Parker, Mo-Will and Devin Harris. Such errors was not long ago …

As competition-pointers, the main intrigue here is, will the third time, Jason Capone winner in this category. After dominating the last year is a player, “Toronto” saw many of the top favorite. And not even the most outstanding first attempt written off as “swinging”, but ultimately failed, Jason finals. In the final round as it came to the so-called “tie-break,” in which more eminent sniper Rashardu Lewis confronted the young Dekuan Cook. The ending, unfortunately, failed. Forward “Orlando” shoot “as many as” seven hits, and therefore was doomed to defeat.

most delicious fell Slam Dunk Contest-. In the first round were the main disappointment JR Smith and refereeing. From the first expected much more, but, you see, to replace Rudy Gay Player “Denver” was not ready. As for judging, there is disappointment maximum points for Dwight Howard. Yes, Superman made a show, but, unfortunately, to reinforce this very pompous dunk, he did not turn out the best way. Remained the same question about Rudy Fernandez, from which many did and did not know what to expect. It turned out that fantasy guy, “hoo,” but in reality not all happened so we would like.

Over time, the defense began to slowly give way to the elements of elegance, but overall, it was one of those rare occasions when both teams play. As for the result, it is largely predetermined the third quarter. It should be noted is not the most expressive playing spare East. Young Harris and Granger little effaced by going exclusively to the “watering” pointers, which the team did not go openly.
