Chapter 580: Occupy the Mountain
At 75:72, the first half of the game came to an end in the confrontation between Kobe and Erniu. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Despite the increased defensive intensity in the second quarter, the two teams scored points in a loose defensive state more often than not.
In the first half of this year's All-Star Game, the score was still high.
Nguyen Erniu and Kobe Bryant led the Eastern and Western individual scoring statistics, and both also scored a team-high 15 points in the first half, but Erniu also had 12 rebounds and five assists.
The second-highest individual scorers on both teams are also from the East, with Paul Pierce scoring 12 points, who is also a strong contender for the AMVP.
Last year, he scored 30 points, 29 rebounds, and broke the single-game rebounding record set by Hawks legend Petit, and it seems that he is ready to get a triple-double tonight!" Zhang Lili began his routine touting again at halftime.
However, as we all know, he also has a personality called "Wei Ping Bryant": "Kobe Bryant also played very well, if the West can win, then the MVP of the All-Star Game must belong to Kobe." ”
Well, it doesn't leak, and both sides are praised.
Yang Jian, who was on the side, subconsciously glanced at the guide, and muttered in his heart: "Who are you?"
Where there are people, there is a struggle for rights, and the eastern side of this year's All-Star, the big mountain is clear at a glance.
Ruan Erniu, who could only huddle with embarrassed Sen for warmth last year, had to play tricks and tricks from time to time.
Now Erniu has been able to pull up the team and occupy the top of the mountain.
The Big Four of the Eagles: Ruan Erniu, Embarrassment, Lunar Eclipse, and Bibi are the most eye-catching existences, and the four of them talk and laugh, and they are the most in the limelight.
At this point, whether it is the brother trio composed of James, D. Wade, and Bosh, or the green Kai group of Garnett and Pierce, there is no way to compare with the momentum of the Hawks, let alone Howard, Granger, and Iverson sitting alone.
The eagle's boom came so quickly that it was unbelievable.
As a rule, last season's championship team not only did not keep its sixth man, Childres, in the offseason, but simply traded starting power forward Marvin Williams to the Kings and did not sign a bigger player in the offseason, which should cause turmoil on the team.
However, they are not optimistic about most people, and they have made great progress to become the team with the best record in the new season, and even have the opportunity to become the team with the best record in history.
I knew he was strong, but I didn't expect him to be so strong!
Unlike the Pistons, which also had four All-Star selections, the Hawks' Big Four have clear priorities, Ruan Erniu is a well-deserved leader, and Embarrassment's position as the second leader is also unbreakable.
For some reason, Eastern Conference head coach Mike Woodson never put the Hawks on the court until halftime.
Assuming there are no surprises, this will certainly be a repertoire for the second half of the game.
If the egghead is a little more daring, let the four occupy the game time for a long time, and then randomly pair a No. 3 All-Star with good shooting ability, he can almost form an Atlanta Hawks.
No, this is an All-Star, and the available No. 3 slots are too extravagant, so it has to be considered a strengthened version.
Erniu smiled and said to his Hawks teammates: "Kobe Bryant has already made a move! Shaq has been suppressed by me, I think there is no reason for the league to let the two of them share AMVP, right?"
Embarrassed Sen also smiled: "But your task is only half completed, if the east does not win in the end, then we still do not succeed." ”
The second half of the sentence was deliberately amplified, and his intention could not be more obvious.
Because of the reverse derivation, once the East wins, the Eastern player with the highest score is also the easiest to get the AMVP.
Although AMVP is not as good as MVP, it is the embodiment of top influence.
In any case, winning the AMVP for a second consecutive year is a supreme honor, and the last person to do it is another generation of eagle celebrities - Bob Petit.
Garnett patted Pierce on the shoulder and didn't say anything more.
KG has won the AMVP, so he doesn't care too much about this, but PP is also old, and he has enough reasons to compete for the AMVP trophy to raise his historical status.
And what about LeBron James, who also won the AMVP in the '05-06 season, but as a player destined to be compared to Jordan, an AMVP is obviously not enough.
However, both of them also understand that the initiative is not in their own hands, and the head coach of the East is Mike Woodson, and this black guy will definitely do his best to help the Celestial Empire people realize their ambitions.
Unless Kraft Nguyen himself is willing to give up, or something else happens, AMVP will not fall on their heads.
In general, although the generals in the east are more reasonable than those in the west in terms of lineup configuration, the players do have their own ghosts, and they are not united.
On the other hand, the West is certainly competitive in the regular season, but when it comes to the All-Star Game, it is relatively river crabs.
Although Anthony and Stoudamire also have the capital to compete with Kobe, the desire for AMVP is obviously not so strong, and they are willing to focus more on the regular season.
After all, in the West, only the Lakers are currently the only ones who are smiling at the storm, and the others have to fight to the death for the regular season rankings.
Of course, if you play with ambition, your concentration will be significantly improved, while if you are united on the surface but not ambitious, you may also be loose and perfunctory.
Where will the second half go?
At the moment, it's really unclear!
Fortunately, the halftime performance passed quickly amid applause, and the All-Stars from the East and West returned to the court.
The West Army had the ball, and Da Yao, who only played less than three minutes in the first half in the first half, received the ball in the high post and immediately shot from the middle distance, but Ruan Erniu did not save.
"Brush!"
Yao Ming used an unpretentious mid-shot to break his 0-point journey.
It's an All-Star Game, and it's a bit ugly to not score a point.
This goal can be said to be all stars in the east and west are helping Da Yao.
Whether it is CP3, who is in charge of assists, or Ruan Erniu, who is in charge of defense, they have objectively given Da Yao enough space and time to shoot, and after that, Da Yao can be ready to rest at any time with peace of mind.
Sure enough, within a few minutes, Da Yao was replaced by O'Neill again, if there is no accident, Yao Ming will only play about 6 minutes in this game, plus 2 points and 2 boards.
As soon as Shaq O'Neal came on the court, he pounced bravely at Erniu.
Carrying his shoulders and forcing him forward, after knocking away Ruan Erniu, he threw his shot, but the sky did not fulfill people's wishes, and under the huge confrontation consumption, the aging O'Neal still failed to put the ball in the basket.
Erniu turned around and grabbed the rebound, and wanted to pass to advance the fast attack, but he didn't expect the passing route to be predicted by Paul, and after successfully breaking the ball, he immediately distributed the ball to Kobe's hands.
The Black Mamba faced D. Wade's defense and pulled out his hand from beyond the three-point line without the slightest drag.
"Brush!"
Kobe Bryant started a wave of counterattacks from the Western All-Stars in the second half!
