Chapter 909 [The more you vote, the more accurate, the more frustrated you are, the more courageous]
The first two days of the Celebrity Weekend were particularly exciting.
The Rookie Challenge is a bit of a slam dunk contest. The 2014 rookie has a lot of supermen who have outstanding jumping. Wiggins staged a dunk that changed hands behind his back in the air, LaVine also had a dunk under the crotch, and Bennett also scored many dunks, and the Timberwolves three will be in the limelight.
It was LaVine who won the MVP, and in addition to dunks, he also shot five three-pointers and scored 31 points in the game.
The next day, Zhou Xuan participated in the three-point contest, and the league invited him, and he was playing at home again, so he couldn't let the fans down.
In the past few seasons, Zhou Xuan has gained experience in shooting in various positions, and how much strength he uses and what hand shape he uses are all deeply remembered in his mind.
The regular season's steady shooting rate of about 45% has been comparable to Curry and Thompson, and he is still under strict defense, this three-point contest, he played very steadily, shooting the highest 23 points in the preliminaries, and took the lead in the finals.
In the finals, Zhou Xuan was the first to play, shooting 22 points to win the championship, each shot posture is the same, the sense of rhythm is very good, Zhang Li said: "His three-point game reminds me of Capono back then, too stable." ”
Zhou Xuan is not as pure a pitcher as Capo, after all, he has practiced less, and at that time, Capono scored a star game-high 25 points.
The slam dunk contest is the world of the Timberwolves rookies again, LaVine and Wiggins both participated in the dunk game, one step forward from the free throw line, throwing and dunking "Lady Liberty", and teammates played the crotch of the board and changed hands to receive empty...... Xixi Shun lì won the championship.
The final day will be an All-Star Game at Madison Square Garden. Zhou Xuan's goal is to win the MVP, there is no SEX at night, and he watched a movie with Kolo for a while.
D'Antoni said that he would help Zhou Xuan win the MVP, and the ball was in his hands, whether he attacked or passed the ball by himself, he would distribute it. And it will let him appear when the opponent's defense is not tight, and Jefferson and Bosh will certainly be good partners for Zhou Xuan.
On the 16th, a qiē was ready.
Zhou Xuan had a high popularity when he played away All-Stars before, and this time he played at home and received the warmest applause when he played. The fans shouted "MVP" together.
Barkley said: "Before he even played, the fans had already rated Zhou Xuan as MVP. ”
Smith laughed: "Today I believe that the Eastern star will pass the ball to him regardless of Yiqiē, and I don't know who is responsible for the ball in the opening game between him and Wall." He broke the assist record last time out. ”
D'Antoni's tactics are Wall to control the ball, Zhou Xuan to play point guard, at the beginning in the bottom corner, the side Bosh to Zhou Xuan without the ball cover, he can run to the line at any time, Wall will pass to him when he has the opportunity, there is no good opportunity to cooperate with the other two.
If he takes the ball to the front court by himself as soon as he comes up and attacks by himself, Zhou Xuan feels bad, so he plans to team up at the beginning, and if he takes the lead, he will hold the ball in the second half to attack. It was a tactic he had agreed with D'Antoni in training.
After the warm-up, the game began.
Bosh jumped to win, Wall dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, and Zhou Xuan attracted Kobe Bryant's defense in the bottom corner of the right side and ran back to the line. Bosh blocked Kobe.
Howard didn't get out of the box, three steps away, and the opportunity was too obvious and Wall passed the ball over. Zhou Xuan received a 60-degree jumper on the right side and hollowed into the net. 3 to 0.
Western offense, Curry went to the front court to block and cooperate with Griffin, the ball was crossed to the middle, and Griffin cut the ball with one hand. 3 to 2.
Attacking in the east, Zhou Xuan ran out of the void again in the same position, and Kobe Bryant was blocked. Wall passed, and Zhou Xuan hit a three-point shot. 6 to 2.
The fans cheered for the opening three-pointer.
Attacking in the west, the middle was handed over to Wall to defend, Zhou Xuan and Kobe, Curry still passed Griffin after blocking and dismantling, this time Wall blocked it, did not let him cut quickly, and Bosh returned to the interior to make up for the defense and let Howard empty. Griffin passed the ball to the perimeter, and Howard missed it in the open space, and he was completely saveless.
James grabbed the rebound and counterattacked, Zhou Xuan made a fast attack, Wall passed the ball, and Kobe Bryant chased after him. Zhou Xuan received the ball on the right side and turned around, pulled the ball up one step before the three-point line, made a European step, and scored on the left side of the basketball. 8 to 2, 8 points in a row.
After Kobe Bryant returned from injury, the most regression was not offense, but defense, and it was difficult for him to block the rapid guard breakthrough. He is much worse than Jordan in this regard, and Jordan, who returned to the Wizards at the age of 40, can still play a role on the defensive end.
On the Western offense, Harden got rid of Anthony by covering it, received a pass from Curry, strode into the basket, and dunked the basketball with one hand. 8 to 4.
Eastern offense, Zhou Xuan ran to catch the ball again, or on the right side, Kobe Bryant was blocked by Bosh and did not rush to chase after him, Howard was also watching the play near the penalty area, and there was no intention of going out, Zhou Xuan shot three points in a 70-degree vacancy, and the ball bounced into the frame. 11 to 2.
CCTV5 Yu Jia shouted: "It's amazing, Zhou Xuan scored 11 points in a row in the opening game, and he made three three-point shots, which felt so good." ”
Zhang said: "The defense of the Star Game is not enough, Howard does not change the defense in time, and others do not make up for it. Zhou Xuan can be used as a practice to vote. ”
D'Antoni was very impressed on the sidelines. He originally wanted Zhou Xuan to control the ball, but Zhou Xuan himself proposed to play shooting guard, and Bosh covered without the ball, and confidently said that there would be a lot of gaps, because he would be playing against Howard, Kobe Bryant or Harden.
Previously, there was a multiple-choice question on the official website of the Lakers, who was Kobe's worst teammate, and most people thought it was Howard. The Rockets don't have this kind of vote, and if anyone is Howard's worst teammate, Kobe Bryant will answer 80 percent. These two personalities do not match each other and do not cooperate at all.
Kobe Bryant's defense itself has problems, and one more cover, let Howard go to the passionate to help Kobe Bryant change the opponent? How is this possible?
If it were other players, he might ignore his past suspicions, and maybe he would feel embarrassed to be unable to prevent himself from playing in the All-Star Game, but Howard would not, he always played soy sauce in the All-Star Game. And he was very naïve, and still is. Zhou Xuan is Kobe Bryant's defense, and the most embarrassing one with a high score is Kobe, definitely not him. He's going to grab rebounds inside, and that's the case with the Magic, Lakers, and Rockets.
Kobe Bryant lost his enthusiasm for defense in the Lakers, and defense was like directing traffic, being passed casually, and then directing his teammates to make up for it. When it came to the star game, he didn't work hard to chase and defend, so Zhou Xuan was completely playing in the first quarter.
Zhou Xuan shot 5 of 6 three-pointers, Griffin couldn't stand it and stepped forward to make up for the defense, Zhou Xuan passed the ball again, and James staged two dunks. Don't let him rush up, rushing up is a violent buckle.
In 7 minutes, there were substitutions on the court, five up and five down, Zhou Xuan had scored 21 points and 1 assist, and he was a mess.
When they got off the court, Howard and Kobe Bryant had a tacit understanding to turn their heads away from each other, let alone submit streams. The news broke that the relationship between the two was worse than when they were in the Lakers, and they both said a lot of bad things about each other. This time, the psychology of the two was completely used by Zhou Xuan.
The commentaries of various radio stations began to predict Zhou Xuan's number today, which must be very amazing. As soon as he got off the court, the game immediately became dull.
In the second quarter, Zhou Xuan played again, and the lineup changed. Jefferson and Bosh partnered on the inside, with Irving and Wade on the perimeter, and waited for opportunities on the perimeter to start a double block.
Kerr didn't send Howard again, and sent Cousins to step up the offense.
Offensively, the West is guaranteed, the defense is still bad, and Cousins is not good at defending out, but he is the type of interior resistance and rebounding. Zhou Xuan dodged the defender with double cover, and hit a quick stop jump shot in a row. Cousins came out and passed the ball, Jefferson cut to the basket to catch the ball and attacked, and Bosh also cut to score with a one-handed dunk. The cooperation between the three is incomparable.
In this quarter, Zhou Xuan scored another 10 points and 4 assists, and scored 31 points and 5 assists in the half. With a 17-point lead in the East, there seems to be nothing stopping him from winning the MVP, and the suspense is what he can get.
D'Antoni always arranges for Zhou Xuan and Wall to play together, and Bosh and Jefferson are at least one player. Popular stars get more playing time, blue-collar workers work as benches, and those like DeRozan who can't shoot accurately can't partner with Zhou Xuan.
As soon as Kobe Bryant and Howard were on board, Zhou Xuan began to exert his power again.
Kerr had already seen what was wrong, but he couldn't reduce the playing time of the two too much, because they were starters pitched by fans. As soon as they are on the line, the east will let Zhou Xuan go up and change to the style of play as a shooting guard.
In this quarter, Kobe Bryant shot 0 of 6, and the score difference widened.
This season, Delon and Kobe Bryant have a war of words over the issue of "shooting iron".
Last season's playoffs Delong table xiàn was not good. Bryant watched the series, and in an interview with Sports Illustrated, he pointed out that DeLong had lost confidence after experiencing a slump of 0-of-9 shooting, and if it were him, he would rather shoot 0-of-30 than give up.
Regarding Kobe's statement, Deron counterattacked when he attended the Nets media day, saying that he is a playmaking guard, if he has 9 shots and 0 shots, he will not shoot 20 times, he can't let this kind of thing happen, crazy shots are Kobe's style, Kobe has that mentality, and he has his own principles.
A reporter from Lakersnation, a well-known lake honey website, wrote an article in support of the "Black Mamba", saying that Kobe Bryant has the mentality of daring to shoot with 30 shots and 0 shots, and this indomitable spirit has made Kobe Bryant's greatness. No one in this league thinks like Kobe, and it is this spirit of frustration and courage that makes Kobe a great player.
For Kobe Bryant's style of play, Phil Jackson once compared Guò with Jordan in his autobiography, "Zen Master" wrote: "Jordan and Kobe Bryant have obvious differences in shooting style, Jordan has a higher shooting rate, and his career shooting rate is about 50%, which is very amazing, and his peak is often between 53% and 54%. Bryant's shooting percentage is at a decent 45 percent, and he generally lasts longer than Jordan. Jordan tends to find his feel for the game slowly and doesn't shoot too much when he doesn't have a touch, while Kobe Bryant forces himself to find his touch, especially when the game doesn't go well. When Kobe Bryant has a cold hand, he keeps shooting until things change, while Jordan focuses on things that can help the team, such as defending, passing, or blocking for teammates when he doesn't feel good. ”
At the Star Game, Kobe Bryant still carried forward the spirit of becoming more and more courageous, shooting 2 of 14 in the third quarter, helping the Eastern Army easily lead by more than 30 points and enter garbage time.
Zhou Xuan scored 15 points and 2 assists in the third quarter, with a total of 46 points, 1 rebound, 7 assists and 2 steals, and another MVP arrived.
