Chapter 234: The Race Continued
Grant Hill grabbed the rebound before Tim under the basket, then turned and layup, and easily won the first two points of the Eastern Army, 2:2, and the Eastern Stars quickly tied the score. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
That's one of the hallmarks of the All-Star Game, where too many super-talented players come together to make even the most solid defense look vulnerable.
Since defense doesn't play a big role, then let's just don't work hard to defend, at this time it's OK to make a show, and the key to winning or winning is to look at offense.
Maybe they all have the same mentality, the offensive rhythm of both sides is playing fast, the basketball opportunities have no time to stop, and everyone's attention is focused on playing the opponent's fast break and showing off well.
Even the always honest and humble Tim Duncan scored four points and three rebounds in less than three minutes.
Maddie missed a three-pointer, Tim Duncan grabbed the backcourt rebound, and immediately passed to Kobe, who dribbled the ball across the halfcourt, perhaps to let his brother show well, after half time he deliberately slowed down, and when Tim came up, he passed the ball inside.
After receiving the ball, Tim Duncan pressed Mourning to score again, reversing the score to 4:2.
Then Thiem took Kevin Garnett's pass and scored in the air, and then Thiem even tried to shoot a three-pointer, but sent a ridiculous "three nos"!
Obviously, Tim is not really without humor, he has already understood the true meaning of All-Star, which is entertainment.
Then Tim grabbed the rebound in the frontcourt and missed the dunk. But soon, he and his teammate Payton put on a brilliant combination, Tim got Payton's pass in the high post and then passed it back to Payton from beyond the three-point line, who made another wonderful pass to Thiem for an aerial relay and Thiem scored two more points.
But not everyone can relax like this, AI is the other extreme that is completely different from other players on the field.
It's been three minutes since the opening game, and the score has become 8-4, and he hasn't even taken a single shot, giving up all the chances!
This extreme paranoia, even if the world is destroyed after one game, he has to win the game and then think about life and death.
The next offensive AI finally chose to play one-on-one, which made Magic Johnson, who was originally sleepy in the commentary seat, immediately cheer up, and watched without blinking his eyes at what kind of wonderful performance the AI would bring.
"Come on, little man, try to break through me?" Peyton didn't change his colors, still joking, he didn't realize that the AI had become dangerous.
"As you wish. The AI was suddenly activated, faster than Carter, which made Payton, who was careless at this time, clean up before he could even react at the slightest.
Duncan and Garnett on the inside only symbolically stretched out their hands, and Shaq even chose to step aside when the AI rushed up, leaving a big gap!
Lamar looked at the game on the court and felt a little bored, but who made this an All-Star, saying that if the top interior players in the three leagues in the West really called it true! AI just rushed in, it is estimated that it is also more auspicious, and it is very likely that there will be no scum left to be chewed.
But finally AI's dunk is still beautiful.,A little meaningless but good-looking flashing and moving in the air.,Then dunk with one hand.,A good vent of the frustration in my heart.。
Then AI scored 6 points in a row, chasing the score to a 12:12 draw, and was replaced by Carlisle, with him Carter, who scored 4 points, his knee injury does not seem to have fully recovered, in order to protect him, this game, Carter should not play too much.
"AI! What happened to you, you look like you're going to eat people. Carter asked with a smile.
"I really hate this kind of competition now, I used to think it was new!" as he sipped his drink, "I really hate this kind of competition now, it doesn't seem to make any sense at all, it's just a bunch of people showing off their skills on the field, and I just did the same, like an acrobat." I don't like that, it's better for me to have a real fight!"
Carter smiled and patted the AI on the shoulder and said, "Haha! Everyone knows what they're doing, and no one wants to hurt themselves because of an exhibition game at a critical moment in the playoffs." But you can still look forward to the fourth quarter, and if the score is still like this, then everyone may have to really play. ”
The AI said like a child: "I don't have to wait for the fourth quarter, I'm going to get serious later, no one wants to stop me, I'm going to play this game as if it were a championship game." ”
Carter said helplessly: "Then you can have it, I really provoked the wolf and the stone Buddha on the inside line, and you have your good fruit to eat." ”
"I can't ask for it!"
In the second half of the first quarter, the two sides took a timeout and sent on the bench, and Lamar finally didn't need to be lethargic on the bench!
Kidd is now the western point guard on the court, and Popovich wants to see how it would work when he was a super-playmaker and Lamar.
Shaq was finally substituted 4:17 before the end of the first quarter. The big shark also played the court just now, he first received Kobe Bryant's pass from outside the three-point line, and then faced Mourning with a clumsy crotch change, which made the audience laugh so much that they almost rolled down from the stands!
Then Shaq shook his massive body and broke through to the basket and landed a powerful heavy dunk.
Then Shaq blocked Mourning's shot on the defensive end, and all of a sudden the eyes of the whole court focused on him alone.
Both sides seemed to be focused on performance in the first quarter, there was no such thing as a tactic at all, and all offense was done entirely by individual play.
Lamar played more than four minutes in the quarter, scoring eight points on four-of-four shooting and two assists. Overall, it's a pretty good result!
At the beginning of the second quarter, the two sides basically maintained the same lineup at the end of the first quarter.
Lamar, who performed well in the final part of the first quarter, was still on the court, and Coach Popovich had sinister intentions, knowing that the Lakers were the biggest obstacle in the Spurs' way forward.
Although I like a team player like Lamar in my heart, like most coaches in the NBA, I always have to put my team's interests first!
Without the offensive weapon of AI, the Eastern All-Star team suddenly lost its accuracy, and even Pierce, who performed extremely well in the second half of the first quarter, could not find a crosshairs and frequently hit the iron.
The Western forces took the opportunity to speed up the pace of the offense, and still centered on the garbage combination of Lamar and Kidd, and launched a collective bombardment of the Eastern All-Star basket.
Lamar, in particular, repeatedly ravaged the Eastern team's basket with Kidd's clever assist, and soon his scoring reached double figures, and Lamar's All-Star Game MVP trophy also seemed to be within reach.
Carlisle saw that the situation was not good, the lead accumulated in the first quarter was gone, and finally sent the AI on the court! He replaced Carter, the injury of the Canadian Flyer is still a bit of a hidden danger, Carlisle did not dare to let him stay on the court for too long, in case of another injury, the saliva of the Toronto fans can drown him.
After AI came on the court, the Eastern All-Star team's offense immediately rose to a higher level, not only with a stable firepower point on the outside and a sharp knife when breaking through the offense, but also AI is becoming more and more mature in organizational work, and can already take on the heavy responsibility of sorting out the team's offense. Non-mainstream point guard Marbury can only obediently hand over possession, and the cat is on the side as a run-and-gun firepower point.
As soon as the AI came on the court, he set the tone for the second quarter with a three-pointer, and then he stole the ball and scored on a fast-break layup, which immediately increased his score to double digits, surpassing Shaq to rank first among all participating players.
The most unacceptable thing is that he actually blocked a slam dunk by the big shark O'Neal on the defensive end, and when people saw the AI jumping up against the big shark, one big and one small, pressing their hands on the basketball at the same time, they couldn't help but guess whether his arm would be broken. But then an amazing scene happened, the basketball was almost deformed under the attack of two people, and although the AI lost the power of the hand, it finally succeeded in destroying the attack.
Johnson, the magician on the sidelines, couldn't help jumping up when he saw this situation, picked up the microphone and pulled his neck and shouted loudly: "It's incredible, this is simply a miracle, as long as anyone with eyes can see that AI and Shaq are not heavyweight players at all, but what did he just do? He actually blocked Shaq face to face, even Ben Wallace, the best defensive player in the league now, may not be sure to do something, but it was actually done by this little man AI!" When was the last time Shaq was blocked like this, everyone may not remember, but today, Shaq, who often blocks his opponents, finally tasted the taste of being covered with hot pot, and the person who blocked him was tonight's superstar, Alan... Iverson. ”
At the same time, the audience at the scene was stunned, originally they had already stood up and were ready to cheer for O'Neal's violent dunk, and even some impatient fans opened their arms and prepared to imitate the big shark's overlord step, but now what is this? Although AI's cap is not very beautiful, he is the symbol of the Los Angeles Lakers, Shaq!
Big shark O'Neill couldn't believe his eyes, no one knew better than him what had just been born, the thin and weak AI could burst out with such a great power in an instant!
