▎疫情瀕失控邊緣,防疫戰略應對危機速調整!
根據《彭博社》發布的全球新冠疫情防疫韌性排名(The Covid Resilience Ranking),台灣從去年11月一度高居第2、後面幾個月掉到第5,如今掉到第15,主因正是近期疫情升溫以及僅0.6%的疫苗接種率,甚至已經落後疫苗大幅接種後上升至第13名的美國,儼然淪為 #龜兔賽跑。
近來每日發布之新增確診人數多為200至300多人,今(5/27)日新增405確診;校正回歸病例266人,在連日「回歸」之後,5月17日以來每日累積回歸都已超過百人,回歸後之每日確診人數已突破500甚至超過600人之譜,奮戰多日的北市聯醫工會更發出醫療崩壞的求援急報。這都說明上週迄今的疫情,都比原本以為的嚴峻許多,接下來疫情發展恐也不樂觀,我們的防疫戰略需要加速調整。
疫情失控的主要原因,在於我們習慣了防堵成功的安逸,過去一年台灣的防疫重心幾乎放在邊境管制上,對於境內的後備動員與調度卻沒有相對應的準備。現在破口出現、病毒殺進來了,大家才發現,我們沒想過怎麼打 #登陸戰。
過去我們的政府口口聲聲說『有政府會做事』,但對比這兩個禮拜的處境,就會發現過去一年多琅琅上口的超前部署口號,就真的只是口號!我們防疫韌性每況愈下,三大危機一一浮現,疫苗施打率低、採檢量能不足、醫療資源緊繃。
#PCR檢驗量能問題如何解❓
如果觀察虹安辦公室整理的圖表,可以看到現在PCR檢測的「#累積未判讀」數量是一路走高,到26日已累積48,159筆,等於是一路塞車、越積越多。單日判讀量能雖然也有提升,但迄今最高僅達19,336筆,追不上每日新增的通報件數。
由於PCR核酸採檢到通報確診程序塞車,還沒有校正回歸的數量,可能還有幾百例,確診案例在這段延遲被通報的期間,被放回社區最長可達9-10天以上,甚至也發生於確診時地方衛生局找不到個案失聯的情況,造成疫情無法早期被察覺、封鎖、控制,而擴散第二波、第三波,這都造成我們防疫極大的風險破口!
篩檢判讀塞車的主因,在於我們的「PCR檢驗量能不足」。快篩只能初步判斷是否可能陽性,後續是要依靠PCR核酸檢測才能百分百確定是否確診。因此,目前指揮中心針對PCR檢驗量能不足的問題提出方案,包括補助指定機構每家最高500萬購買高通量檢驗儀,讓自動化程序多的機器減少人工程序、增加效率。此外,國內許多科研、學術機構甚至民間檢測公司其實也有可以做PCR檢測的機器,這些單位都有能力協助緩解PCR檢測分析塞車的困境。當前的疫情嚴峻,是否需要放寬對這些PCR機器的檢驗規定與人力規範、在確保安全的前提下納入?這些也都需要中央購買或給予補助,相關經費應從紓困振興特別條例支出。這是衛福部必須盡快思考決定的方向,畢竟檢驗量能不足是我們現在遇到的瓶頸,應該要儘速排除!
#前線醫護同仁檢測防護要加強❗️
現在隔離病房數已經嚴重不足,許多輕症確診病患只能在家休養,也因此出現幾例因在家病情突然惡化,救治不及而不幸死亡之案例發生。且為確保第一線的醫護人員安全,以及避免醫院陷入院內感染,造成醫療機構癱瘓的危機,政府應以「高頻率低敏性快篩方式」對專責醫院之醫護人員進行每日快篩或甚至定期做PCR檢測。根據Michael J. Mina等學者研究研究,若以密集、簡單具立即性的實施快篩,雖然敏感度較低,但對比以低頻率做昂貴而須專家判讀的較高敏感度檢驗模式,反而較能在病毒有傳染力期間,篩出受感染的群眾。虹安要建議對專責醫院或是長照機構、快篩站等較具感染風險場域的工作人員定期實施低敏感度但高頻率的篩檢,以確保他們不會因為實施檢測的間隔過長,錯過及早察覺群聚感染的徵兆,而造成醫療能量的損耗。
#疫苗獲取率與接種率超低的台灣
最後是疫苗,疫情發展至今情勢非常清楚,只有大規模施打疫苗,達成至少70%甚至85%以上人口接種的目標,才能獲得所謂「群體免疫」的保護效果。但台灣現在連取得疫苗都困難重重,去年政府就拍胸脯掛保證疫苗取得沒問題,蘇貞昌院長更是在國會專案報告說已經採買兩千萬劑的疫苗,可在第一季起陸續供應,可是都五月底了,我們需要的疫苗在哪裡?蔡英文總統也在二月份時發文說『有疫苗,請安心』,現在的情況卻是『沒疫苗,好擔心』!
昨日蔡總統又說,將在六月、八月陸續獲取共計1200萬劑的疫苗,但在三級防疫警戒的措施下,經濟停頓、民生凋敝與失業潮的隱憂已經浮現,每日確診的死亡數字也越來越高,產業和民眾跟我們的醫療量能有能耐等到八月嗎?
近日民間要求開放地方政府自購疫苗的浪潮高漲,正是對中央決策不信任的證明。政府應該盡快採取有力措施對外獲得足量、有效、安全的疫苗,以守護國人生命與健康為先!

大支“途中相見” feat. 柯泯薰
詞:大支 曲:大支/J.Wu 編曲:J.Wu
副歌改編自 六世達賴喇嘛‧倉央嘉措‧情詩
v1
有個年輕美麗女孩出身豪門世家 多才多藝
A beautiful young girl coming from a prestigious family, gifted and talented,
沒有男人不想認識她
Not a man isn’t eager to meet her
媒婆每天追著問 但她沒遇到對的人
The matchmaker goes after her everyday but nobody seems right to her
她一天一天的等 似乎越來越沒可能
Day after day the wait seems endless
直到某天廟會裡面 她看到一個身影
Until one day at a temple festival, she sees that one person
她等的肯定就是這個男人他深信
She firmly believes this is the man she’s been waiting for
她努力想靠近一點 但是卻陷入困境
She tries to get closer to him, but falls short
廟會太擁擠 只能看他消失在人群
The festival is too crowded, she can only see him disappears in the sea of people
從此女孩四處尋找 打探男人名號 會在哪停靠
Since then the girl starts search everywhere, looking for anywhere the man would stop
但男人沒留下任何記號
But the man never leaves any signs and traces
她每ㄧ天 祈禱許願 再見那男人一遍
She prays everyday, wishes to see the man once more
終於佛祖聽見 現身在光裡面
Finally the Buddha hears it, reveals himself in the light
副歌:
那一天 我閉目在經殿 香霧裡面
On that day, I have my eyes closed in the temple surrounded by incense smokes
只為 耳裡聽見 跟你一樣的真言;
Just so my ear can hear the same scriptures as you do
那一月, 我將所有的經輪 轉一遍
In that month, I turn all the scripture wheels around
只為觸摸 你的指尖;
Just to touch the tip of your finger
那一年, 五體大拜在佛前,
In that year, I lay on my all four in front of the Buddha,
不是為了許願,只為貼近你溫暖;
Not to make a wish, just to be close to your warmth.
那一世, 十萬大山翻遍,
In that lifetime, I walked through thousands of mountains,
不為修來世,只為途中相見
Not for the deed of next life, but just to encounter you on the way
V2
佛祖說妳得修煉五百年換再見他一眼�
The Buddha says you need to practice for 500 years in exchange to see him once
於是女孩變成佛桌的花了這心願
Then the girl becomes a flower on the Buddha altar to fulfill her wish
花開花謝男人那一世 終於又出現
The flower blossoms and withers for that lifetime, the man finally appears
但他凝視 佛像後眨眼剎那就不見
But he stares at the Buddha and then disappear in the next moment
女孩不滿足於這次再見
The girl isn’t satisfied with this encounter
佛祖說那得再修五百年
The Buddha says then it will take another 500 years of practice
這次女孩化作燃香白煙
This time the girl turns into the white smoke of burning incense
人來人往更迷惘 內心更糾結
People come and go, the mist thickens and the heart tangles
無數次滿懷希望 看人走近後希望破滅
Countless hopes time after time again shatter when people walk near
終於男人出現了他合十祈禱
Finally the man shows up again, he brings his hands together and prays
千年相思無法傾倒
Thousand years of longing cannot be poured on him,
女孩只能用煙霧將男人縈繞
The girl can only surround the man with incense smoke
男人誦經完起立 聽不到女孩說別走
The man recites the scriptures and stands up, cannot hear the girl’s calling “don’t go!”
看了眼燃香便離去 頭再也沒有回過
He looks at the incense and leaves, never turns his head back
副歌:
那一天 我閉目在經殿 香霧裡面
On that day, I have my eyes closed in the temple surrounded by incense smokes
只為 耳裡聽見 跟你一樣的真言;
Just so my ear can hear the same scriptures as you do
那一月, 我將所有的經輪 轉一遍
In that month, I turn all the scripture wheels around
只為觸摸 你的指尖;
Just to touch the tip of your finger

那一世, 十萬大山翻遍,
In that lifetime, I walked through thousands of mountains,
不為修來世,只為途中相見
Not for the deed of next life, but just to encounter you on the way
v3
佛祖再次出現問女孩接下來心願
The Buddha reappears and asks the girl what’s her next wish
是否想修煉夫妻姻緣 是否仍堅定信念
Does she still wants to practice to make marriage comes true, if she is still firm in her faith
女孩問祂:現任妻子是否也跟我等一樣久 ?
The girl asks, Did his wife had to wait just as long?
是否也受那麼多苦但不曾放手?
Did she suffer just as much yet didn’t let go?
佛祖點頭 :他們等候 彼此更久
The Buddha nods, they waited for each other for even longer time
前世五百次回眸 才換今世擦身過
500 times of turnaround in the previous life, just to exchange for a brief encounter in this lifetime
女孩似乎不再疑慮 想通了這一題
The girl seems enlightened, clears her mind on this question
女孩:我該珍惜當下 執著放下 讓他離去
She says I should treasure the present, let it go, let him go
這時佛祖鬆了一口氣 女孩摸不著頭緒
At this time the Buddha is relieved, the girl doesn’t understand
女孩:敢問佛祖也有事在憂慮?
The girl asks, may I ask if Buddha was worrying?
佛祖:有個男孩可以少等幾百年了 為了見妳一面 他已經修煉了一千年了
The Buddha replies, A boy can now save himself a few hundred years. In exchange to see you, he’s been practicing for a thousand years.

【我最不喜愛作家】
希望這個追夢的故事可以鼓勵到正在閱讀的您。
上星期,我出席了《香港金閱獎2018》的頒獎典禮,拿下了「我最喜愛作家(銀獎)」。今年7月過去的書展,很多讀者來支持我,在出版社的攤位前排隊找我簽名,長龍更被蘋果新聞報導,我出的第二本書更上了誠品書展暢銷榜。
很多人以為,我筆下的角色那麼討好,故事那麼搞笑,我必然很受別人喜愛。我想,你們一定想像不到,回想過去三年多,我是多麼的不被喜歡,甚至被討厭。
三年半前,那是我剛轉行,飛了兩個多月便開了這個Facebook專頁,用插畫形式把工作的趣事記錄下來。才開page不久,就受到有人在HX & UO Secrets上的攻擊,內容大概是:「他只是剛剛出來飛,有什麼資格談crew life?」
後來,我跟自己的航空公司有了一些合作,其後多了不少人注意我的專頁。有一次在返工時,我被人影下了一張照片再傳回公司,我被公司記下了一個warning。那時回公司,經理語重心長地跟我說:「錯是犯了,我們固然要稟公辦理。但我只想提醒你,你現在在公司是一個較為『出名』的人,上班一舉一動也會被人無限放大,你要更謹慎,你要比本份外做得更好。」罰是罰了,自己犯的錯,我心甘情願,也不能怪拍我照的人,我只好認真想想如何「洗底」,日後返工也要加倍小心,不能盡信身邊的人。
同年,我出了人生第一本書-《空少傭乜易》。
第一年以作者身份參與書展,第一次辦簽書會,還記得那時稚嫩的我,穿一條短褲、戴一個口罩、一頂帽。沒想到第一年,很感激也有不少人來找我簽書,我心裡想,點解咁有咁多人嚟支持我呢個「死o靚仔」,感到很受寵若驚。同時擔心,自己越「出位」,日後麻煩會越多,所以一直也堅持不露面。
話說茄子航空有個mentorship的program,program是讓一些乘務長帶著一些剛剛在training school出來的新人,operate頭幾班航班,幫助他們熟習online的工作。在我出書後不久,突然有一天,我在專頁收到一個inbox message,有一個之前告訴我他考進了茄子航空的讀者,他說他訓練完出來飛了。他說他跟的那個mentor經常在他面前抹黑我,叫他不要仿效傭仔,要踏踏實實,不要只懂得去跟公司擦鞋,諸如此類。他還說那個mentor很討厭我,說將來如果做同一班機,一定要hard time我。
後來,在某個月的更表上,我在crew list上看到他的名字,我終於跟他飛了。那時的我,心裡真的很害怕。那是一班Bangkok的turnaround,我試過把這班機swap走,但失敗。我想了很久,我到底要不要請病假,不要去飛那班機?後來我又想,我又沒有做錯,我只是畫畫,為何那麼罪大惡極,我為什麼要怕他?
最後我還是飛了那些班,真不好運,我被編了跟那個乘務長同在business class galley工作,他是galley in-charge。這個阿哥不知道我背後知道他不喜歡我,我成班機都小心翼翼,為免犯錯被他捉到痛腳。那班曼谷機中間有一個的long transit,跟我同rank的另一個business class crew,她問了那個阿哥,她想出去買點東西,又怕來不及ground preparation。那時候,那個乘務長就指著我說:「畀哂佢做咪得囉!佢咁叻~做到咁多嘢~」我便微笑著,對著那個crew:「我搞掂得㗎喇!你放心啦!」於是,我便一個人把回程的所有ground preparation做好,那個乘務長就在business class的座位上睡覺,直到準備boarding。
我為什麼要寫這些事出來呢?我想說的是,也許你看著我表面風光,好像好多人喜歡,但這三年來,我是經常去找我的好朋友,紅的眼的傾訴,說,我要放棄了,我不想畫了,也不想上班,不想再做一個空少。對,我常常在專頁叫人去追夢,卻因為很多很多的事情、很多很多的委屈而很多很多次很想很想放棄。我不明白,明明在讀書時期,我也是一個頗受周邊身邊喜愛的人,為什麼現在,我要承受那多的不喜愛?
後來,有朋友喜歡我:「要不顧一切的去做一件事,一定要預了會有人不喜歡。」
他又說:「如果你無法承受那些不喜歡,你就不要去做了。你承受得了,你才好去做。」
第二年書展,我沒出版新書,但仍然有很多人來找我簽舊書。我覺得,支持我的人很多,我竟然沒有堅持在第二年出書,辜負了他們對我的支持。之後,我「的」起心肝,在今年終於出了第二本書。
坐在《金閱獎》的台下,拿了一個「最佳書籍」的獎項後,我知道自己將會拿「我最喜愛作家」,我腦中不斷回想起,過去三年多,我那些「不被喜愛」的經歷,我一一都捱過了。
在被人「不喜愛」的時候,我下班後,仍然打開電腦、拿著畫筆,把那班機的趣事、航空的資訊在專頁上跟大家分享。
在被人「不喜愛」的時候,我仍然利用我的annual leave,閉關去完成我的月曆、年宵產品、新書……
在被人「不喜愛」的時候,仍然有成千上三萬的fans,叫我加油、努力,在各種場合送我禮物,從一開始「喜愛」到我現在。
想著想著,我眼眶開始濕,我告訴自己,這不是樂壇頒獎典禮,我不可以那麼誇張,不可以哭,那麼丟臉。
今天,我想告訴你的是,
「就算是再好的人,只要有好好地在努力,在別人的故事裡,也可能會變成壞人。」
無論你做什麼事,也有人會喜歡或不喜歡,支持或不支持。
最重要的是,你清楚自己想要的是什麼。
當你決定要去做的時候,在沒有傷天害理的情況下,你根本不必去在意不喜歡甚至攻擊你的人。
你要知道,有些人,無論你做什麼決定,他們依然愛你,尤其是這三年多來一直支持我的fans,還有茄子99%的同事:雪梨姐、跟我現在一起在維記那些好好人的阿姐阿哥、茄子航空的經理和buddies。
現在,
為了想做的事
我已不再在乎別人喜愛不喜愛,
三年後的我,
因為追夢帶給我的經歷,
內心早已鋼鐵般堅壯。
今年1月1日,我承諾自己,
今年我一定要比以前勇敢,
於是,我唔care了,我豁出去了,
我露臉了,話知你鍾意唔鍾意。
為了夢想,
我曾經被人不喜歡,
但,現在我是,
2018年《香港金閱獎》
香港市民一人一票選出的
我最喜愛作家(銀獎);
曾經那個被說沒有資格寫crew life的
空中飛傭傭仔。
當你想放棄的時候,
別放棄,
有我在。

The Philadelphia 76ers played more like a playoff team than one mired in a miserable stretch of basketball.
Thaddeus Young had 26 points and 14 rebounds, Allen Iverson scored 20 points and the 76ers snapped a 12-game losing streak with a 117-101 victory over the Golden State Warriors on Monday night.
Iverson was a rookie the last time the Sixers lost 13 straight in the 1996-97 season. He played the best game of his four-game second stint in Philadelphia to help avoid another unlucky 13-game skid on his resume.
The Sixers had all five starters and two reserves score in double digits.
"We felt like once we did get a win, it was going to be extremely hard, one of the hardest games to win," Iverson said. "It was totally opposite."
Iverson hit the 20-point mark for the second straight game a day after his having his left knee drained of fluid. Young was sensational, using an 11-of-15 effort in the first half to give the Sixers a rare comfortable lead and easy win.
"It's been working for us, but we just couldn't get the win," Young said. "It really worked tonight."
Looking for a spark, 76ers coach Eddie Jordan benched power forward Elton Brand and paired rookie Jrue Holiday in the backcourt with Iverson. Jordan's move worked: Holiday had 15 points, seven rebounds and six assists.
"He just put us in a good rhythm tonight and had us flowing," Iverson said.
Brand, who was previously benched in some fourth quarters, said it was hard to complain about his role after a victory. He just can't believe he's considered a bench player early in the second year of an $80 million, five-year deal.
"When you look around at other teams, yeah," Brand said. "It's like, no disrespect, but [Golden State's] Mikki Moore gets the start and I don't. Not that he's not a good player, but, definitely."
Andre Iguodala left briefly with bruised ribs and scored 14 points on brutal 4-of-20 shooting. He's day-to-day and was not expected to practice Tuesday.
Corey Maggette led the Warriors with 24 points and Anthony Randolph had 15. Golden State lost its third straight in the finale of a five-game trip that started Dec. 7.
"You can't make excuses about a long trip," Maggette said.
Iverson's return generated a short burst of excitement, but not wins. His box office appeal is already lukewarm with only 12,795 fans listed to watch a slumping Sixers team.
Iverson joked at shootaround that after his ill-fated stint with Memphis, he sat home "trying to get fat." He wasn't in game shape and the Sixers came in with a bloated 18 losses.
He teamed with Young to make eight of 11 shots in the first quarter to help build a 12-point lead. Young really got rolling in the second quarter. He kept close to the basket and used a flurry of layups to score 14 points. He did hit a nice turnaround jumper that stretched the lead to 15.
Iverson capped the half by drawing a midair foul with 1 second left, hitting two free throws to make it 71-57.
Philadelphia won for only the third time in 19 games and its 12-game losing streak was the longest since 2006. Iverson was around for the start of that one three years ago before he was traded and the end of this one after his return.
Iverson acknowledges the years of banging down the lane and crashing the court have taken a severe toll on his 34-year-old frame. He's limited at shootarounds and practices -- by coaches decision, not complaint -- and no longer has the quickest first step in the league.
"I've been dealing with that the last 5, 6 years I've been playing," Iverson said. "I understand that when I fall or hit something that it flares up or gets irritated a lot faster than it used to. That comes from getting older."
By the time the fourth quarter rolled around, Iverson could rest. Willie Green's 3-pointer with 9:10 left in the fourth gave the Sixers 102 points, meaning free food at a fast-food restaurant for the few fans who bought tickets.

Griffin wins are usually just a pointer, a guide to something better to come somewhere off in the distance but the here and now was frighteningly good when Tony Cruz-trained Pakistan Star produced one of the performances of the season to win his debut on Friday.
A HK$6 million buy in March at the Jockey Club’s international sale, despite a few issues with his breeze-up, Pakistan Star (Matthew Chadwick) did a nice impression of another son of Shamardal, Able Friend, in a breathtaking performance that saw him post a finishing sprint of 21.2 seconds, seven-tenths of a second faster than the next best all day and one of only two horses to crack 22 seconds.
As he had done in his barrier trials, German-bred Pakistan Star began very slowly to be conspicuously last after 100 metres but it only got worse from there, as he struggled to stay in touch with the field and drifted to some five or six lengths behind the second-last horse at the 800m mark.
Tickets might have been torn up and some bad language used at that stage of the race but the turnaround was titanic – Pakistan Star tacked on to the stragglers getting to the home straight,then unleashed a stunning final 400m to win going away by almost two lengths, with Chadwick sitting up on the line.
“I don’t think he beat anything special, the griffin races haven’t been that impressive so I did say to the owners that I thought he had a blowout chance today,” said Chadwick. “Today was about his ability more than where he’s at mentally.”
The first blow to Pakistan Star’s chance came on declaration day when he came up with gate 14 of 14 but Chadwick said that he almost saw that as a plus.
“In these griffin races, with so many inexperienced horses, you never know if they’ll go fast or slow. So from the outside, if he was slow out as I expected, I thought at least he’ll have some room,” Chadwick explained. “From an inside gate, if he missed the jump, he could get cooped up inside. He’s very quirky, he looks after himself a bit. Mentally, he’s not there, which we’ve known ever since his breeze-up before the sale, but he is making progress in trackwork and learning all the time.”

Whether it be regular season, playoffs or the All-Star Game, you can take Tim Duncan to the bank.
Duncan's patented bank shot with 26 seconds left provided the final lead change of a seesaw fourth quarter and helped the Western Conference to a 136-132 victory over the Eastern Conference at the Staples Center.
With flashy performances from hometown heroes Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O'Neal, the West won for the third straight time. But with the game in the balance, West coach Flip Saunders went to Duncan, the superstar forward of the NBA champion San Antonio Spurs.
Working against New Orleans Hornets center Jamaal Magloire, Duncan buried a turnaround bank shot to give the West a 133-132 edge, the sixth lead change of the final period.
"It was a play that Flip drew up a couple of options to it," Duncan said. "I was kind of the third one."
"Timmy is one of those guys, he makes big plays," Saunders said.
The East had two more chances, but Orlando's Tracy McGrady threw away a lob pass and - after Seattle's Ray Allen made two free throws - Milwaukee's Michael Redd missed a potential tying 3-pointer.
Duncan, who shared All-Star MVP honors with O'Neal in 2000, sank a free throw to seal it. He had a highly characteristic 14 points and 13 rebounds as part of a balanced attack that was tilted in the West's favor by Lakers teammates O'Neal and Bryant.
"My game doesn't change from a regular game to an All-Star Game," Duncan said. "I wish I could be involved in the high-flying stuff, but that's just not what I do."
O'Neal had 24 points, 11 rebounds, a handful of thunderous dunks and several comedic moments as he captured his second All-Star MVP award.
"I'm not one really known known to be taking over an All-Star Game," O'Neal said. "I said to myself if it's going good, nobody is really shining, I'm going to go ahead and go for it."
Bryant, who arrived late to the arena, had 20 points and five steals. He heard some boos from the crowd when he opted for a layup rather than a dunk on a breakaway in the third quarter.
"I just didn't have the momentum so I just laid it in," he said.
For the third time in four years, the midseason showcase came down to the closing moments. A free throw by Duncan tied it at 127-127 with 2:40 to go, but McGrady, who scored 13 points, sank a long jumper. O'Neal tied it again as he hurtled down the lane for a powerful dunk at the 1:57 mark as New Jersey Nets guard Jason Kidd ran for cover.
"I just went in and took it and took 2.9 steps and threw it down," O'Neal said.
"You've got to think about your family," Kidd said. "I don't know if he has an anti-lock brake system but I was just going to get out of the way."
McGrady made a nifty lefthanded drive and Bryant drilled a long jumper before McGrady gave the East its last lead at 132-131 by splitting a pair of free throws with 37 seconds left.
"It was a nail-biter at the end," Bryant said. "It was a good show."
The West had seven players in double figures, as did the East. Allen and Houston center Yao Ming scored 16 points each for the West, while Magloire and New Jersey Nets forward Kenyon Martin- each playing in his first All-Star Game - came off the bench to score 19 and 17 points, respectively.
O'Neal was highly entertaining. He took a couple of spins at point guard in the first half, having his drive swatted out of bounds by Magloire. He later responded by pounding a shot by Magloire into the seats.
"I had a lot of fun," O'Neal said. "A couple of people told me if I get it, there's an opening, they want me to go coast to coast."
In the third quarter, O'Neal scored 10 points on the court and countless points off it. One of his dunks rocked the backboard stanchion so severely it prompted referee Steve Javie to ask if there was an extra one in the building. Seconds later, he scored on a post move, grabbed a fan's video camera and turned it on himself, wiping his brow for effect.
NBA scoring leader Allen Iverson of Philadelphia, who came in with the highest average in All-Star Game history, became a passer, handing out 11 assists with just three points. He had a pair of long lobs that Toronto's Vince Carter turned into jaw-dropping dunks in the first quarter, which ended with the East holding a 33-31 lead.
