Chapter 172: All-Star Game

"Mike, if possible, I'd like to play a little bit more on the court. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

While Cleveland Cavaliers coach Mike Murphy . Brown has been dubbed the 'little emperor's vest' by the media, but James still looks very respectful when he talks to the other party in private. It's just that the disdain in his eyes is well hidden by the Chosen One.

Mike, who has been working with James for five years, has been working with him for five years. Brown, how could he not know the meaning of the words of the team's number one star. He frowned, hesitated a little and said, "LeBron, you should know what this All-Star Game means to Shaq, and he is also the owner of this court. ”

The NBA All-Star Game has an unwritten emphasis on the fact that as long as the players who host the Earth team are selected, they will be treated better. Not only does it have plenty of time to show, but if the team wins, it has a good chance of winning the All-Star MVP.

O'Neal, who already has two All-Star MVP trophies, won't care about the award, but everyone knows it will be the last time he will play in the All-Star Game as a player in his career. This year's situation is a bit similar to the one before Jordan retired in '03.

"Don't worry, I won't be reluctant, if there is a chance, I hope you can support me." James, who is 24 years and two months old, has won two All-Star MVP awards in '05 and '07, and he very much wants to be like Jordan to win this award three times, or even better.

……

Sun Yi, a Chinese teenager who became an All-Star starter as a rookie, and his predecessor Yao Ming were not exactly the same. Their Chinese background has given them huge online votes, but Sun Yi, who has been honing in American basketball for six years, is significantly more eye-catching than his national team's big brother's rookie performance.

With an average of 23.5 points, 5.6 rebounds, 6.9 assists, 1.9 steals and 0.8 blocks per game, he is indeed more qualified to be the starting point guard in the East than Allen Iverson, who is in good form.

But Sun Yi knows very well that this All-Star Game is not his own stage. Compared to the superstars who have been in the league for a long time, his achievements are completely inadequate.

The Chinese youngster, who was already ready to play the role of a bystander, was provoked by the foul mouth of the big shark to provoke a belligerent nerve......

"This All-Star Game is a little too early for that little guy in the Knicks!"

Too early? Hehe! Then we'll see!

Since the disbandment of the OK group in the summer of 2004, they have reunited after 5 years.

"Shaq, I want to join forces with you once again to dominate the arena!" Kobe Bryant, who has won two All-Star Game MVPs, will never tolerate his juniors, and James will surpass his achievements.

"I'm too old to run fast and jump high." O'Neill, who is rarely low-key, how could he not know what the other party thinks.

"Shaq, you'll always be the most dominant basket overlord!" Kobe Bryant is not giving up.

"That's once!" Made, when the Lakers management didn't renew Lao Tzu's contract, you would rather hide outside on vacation than help me say a fair word.

"Okay, I'll give you the opportunity to express yourself to the fullest. However, the premise of fulfilling all wishes is - win the ball! "The Zen master Phil who has not spoken. Jackson, at last.

……

The fans who came to the American Airlines Arena in Phoenix were undoubtedly happy, with so many superstars in the league right in front of their eyes......

A pair of young men and women wearing Knicks No. 8 jerseys are intimately tiptoeing to follow their common idol. There aren't many fans dressed similarly to them, at least not compared to Madison Square Garden. After all, the Chinese player's mark in the league is not deep enough, and no one knows whether he will be a shooting star or a rising star......

When Sun Yi and his national team brother Yao Ming really came to a bear hug, he realized that all this did not happen in a dream......

Depend on! Standing on the NBA All-Star Arena so soon, buddy is still a little unacceptable......

The starting lineups for both teams based solely on voting are as follows: West: Point guard Chriss. Paul, point guard Kobe, small forward Stoudemire, big forward Duncan, center Yao Ming.

East, point guard Sun Yi, point guard Wade, small front James, big front Garnett, center Howard.

The head coach of both teams is Phil. Jackson and Mike. Brown.

The first referee who officiated the game and of course was also the all-star MVP of the referee class 'bald' Joe. Crawford.

After a brief but solemn ceremony, the starters of both teams came on the pitch. O'Neal, the big shark sitting on the bench, looked at the center of the Rockets with undisguised envy and jealousy.

If only I could go back to his age......

When Joe. After Crawford's ball was first touched by Howard, the 08-09 All-Star Game officially began.

These ten players on the court can be said to be the highest existence in the basketball hall on the planet. They used endless wonderful performances to make the atmosphere of the entire American Airlines arena full of passion and warmth......

The only thing that is not in harmony with this kind of scene is the Rockets' super center Yao Ming, although he has played semi-professional basketball in the NBA for 6 years, the presence of the Chinese giant in this kind of occasion has not been brushed.

When the first quarter was six minutes into the game, both teams made personnel changes at the same time. East: Iverson replaces Sun Yi, Ray. Allen replaces Wade, Rassad. Lewis replaces Garnett, and James and Howard remain on the court.

West: Parker replaces Paul, Roy replaces Stoudemire as point guard, Nowitzki replaces Duncan, O'Neal replaces Yao Ming.

When the big shark stood on the court, the entire Phoenix American Airlines Arena immediately burst into cheers. Although O'Neal has not been in Phoenix for long, he is the only home team player to participate in the All-Star Game......

"Sun, if that empty receiver passes a little higher, the feeling of buttoning up will be completely different......" The top of the Heat team, who has the most intersection with Sun Yi in the Eastern All-Star team, is affectionately hugging the shoulders of the little Chinese brother to brag about his bounce power.

"If what you said is true, then it must have been an accident when the layup was slapped out of the court by Bigyao."

"Huh! It was an accident. You know, last night was a bit too hilarious. Ha ha! ”

“……”

The constant laughter from the Eastern bench gives a sense of harmony and joy. There was no crowding, no suppression, no snubbing, just the players enjoying the rare moments of the season.

With the precedent of the national team's eldest brother Yao Ming, the Knicks youngster, who appeared in the All-Star starting lineup as a rookie, won everyone's respect with his outstanding performance this season. Mesozoic players like Wade, James, and Howard have shown great kindness to newcomers to the league.

With O'Neill on the field, the joy of the game intensified.

The successful connection of an OK combination gave the big shark a chance to wreak havoc under the basket. Howard, who was in a defensive position, was very empathetic to dodge half of his body in order to let his seniors play to the fullest. Judging from the details on the field, Spark is really a player with a good character.

O'Neal, who completed the two-handed dunk, hung on the hoop and dangled but didn't want to come down. Sun Yi, who was sitting on the bench, obviously felt the other party's provocative gaze towards him.

At such an age, how can you still be as belligerent as a young man! I want to ask for abuse, if you can stay on the field, or if I'm in a good mood, I might be able to fulfill your wish.

The NBA superstars who were full of desire to perform brought endless wonderful pictures to the fans at the scene. However, if you are careful enough, you can see that the two players on the field are noticeably more engaged than their teammates.

James had just completed a fast break on his side, and the smiling Kobe Bryant immediately returned a three-pointer. Before they knew it, the two of them quickly scored more than double.

"Hey, hey! Today's game was a bit of fun. Wade, who covered his cheeks, said this thoughtfully.

At the end of the first half, the 'home' All-Stars of the West led the East 65-52.

Sun Yi, who got 12 minutes of playing time, completed the role of 'newcomer' very well. He scored five points on 2-of-3 shooting and dished out three free assists. The Chinese teenager, who thought that his All-Star debut would end here, suddenly found that he was still in the lineup in the second half.

"Sun, even though it's just an exhibition match, I'm sure you don't want to lose a single match. Is that right? Before going on the court, James whispered in Sun Yi's ear.

"Okay, I think we should work harder to catch up with the score, otherwise isn't it a little sorry for the ticket price paid by the audience?"

"No problem, Chris handed it over to me." In fact, Sun Yi didn't care about the outcome of this game at all. For the MVP battle inadvertently mentioned by his teammates, it has nothing to do with him. The only reason that can make the Chinese youngster agree to James is that he really doesn't want to see O'Neal show off.

Looking at the Nix Tanhua Show in front of him, the Chosen One's favorability towards the other party skyrocketed. Not only did the other party agree to his request, but he immediately understood what he should do.

Alas! If the Cavaliers' idiots could be as spiritual as him, they wouldn't have to fight so hard.

……

Swish! In the third quarter, Wade felt good, facing Kobe's defense two steps away, and hit a three-point shot directly at the top of the arc.

"Chris, pass it to me!"

The big shark who continued to stay on the field in the second half, the heart that was unwilling to be lonely was restless again. After receiving his teammate Paul's baseline serve, O'Neal, who is good at juggling treasures, played a variety of dazzling fancy dribbles like an outside player.

Airplanes!

His move was obviously very appetizing to the fans at the scene.

However, in the eyes of some, this is no different from the grandstanding of clowns in the circus.

"Chris, your performance this year is phenomenal, and I want to train with you when I have the opportunity in the summer, and learn by the way."

I? Phenomenal play? Rub, there's no mistake!

Queen Bee Paul was completely blindsided by the exaggerated compliments of the Chinese rookie. Paul, who has been plagued by injuries this season, returned to the court at the beginning of the month after a two-week break.

Sun Yi then had a close chance with CP3, and he was slowly approaching the Suns center who was playing not far away.

Just as O'Neill made a combination of crotch changing hands to catch the ball behind his back, before he could be proud, he noticed that a slender big hand suddenly appeared in his sight.

The ball that had just bounced off the ground was accurately judged by Sun Yi to fly path, and he used his extra-long arm to complete the steal in an instant.

The Heat superstar, who had been watching the actions of his Chinese teammates, immediately began to run wildly towards the opposing half.

Syllable! Wade, who received Sun Yi's long pass at halftime, faced the opponent's empty penalty area, and came to a two-handed back buckle very coquettishly.

Woo......!

The fans at the scene booed the Chinese rookie who ruined the harmonious atmosphere.

Sun Yi, who high-fived his teammates, didn't care what the fans thought at all. As long as you can make the old guy who has repeatedly offended him unhappy, it will be a goal.

James, who saw the opportunity to chase points, immediately played a wave of 15-4 with his good brother Wade......

This All-Star Game finally got a lot more fun.

……

Bang Bang Bang! Kobe Bryant's dashing turnaround and step-back jumper made Wade, who was fully defensive, lose his temper, and this was the third consecutive time that the core of the Lakers used his height to hit the opponent with his back to score.

123 to 121!

With three minutes left in the fourth quarter, the Western Conference All-Stars led by two points.

"Sun, you go and replace Allen, and play against Kobe Bryant when defending." The game is playing to this point, Mike. Brown certainly remembers the pre-game engagement with the core of the team. It's just that Wade, who is 1.93 meters tall, is indeed a little too difficult to defend the Black Mamba, who is actually more than 2 meters tall. After subconsciously looking around the team's bench, I suddenly remembered the amazing arm span of the Chinese rookie. Perhaps, the Knicks Tanhua Show, who is also proficient in backward shooting, can limit Kobe Bryant, who feels hot.

Sun Yi, who played 16 minutes, didn't expect to get a chance to play at the last moment of the game. Every time he fights a master, his skills and experience will be greatly improved. Therefore, in the face of this hard-won opportunity, the Chinese guy cherished it and became more and more high-spirited.

After the Eastern Conference All-Stars called a timeout, Sun Yi returned to the court.

When James, who had a bad hand today, missed a three-pointer, the young Chinese teenager soon ushered in a confrontation with his idol.

Bang Bang Bang! The black mamba dribbling with his back in the left high position gave Sun Yi a sense of déjà vu. Strictly speaking, they are all Jordan's apprentices.

Boom! Kobe Bryant's heavy shoulder action forced the Chinese rookie back half a step. Immediately after, a turnaround and drift shot hit the bullseye accurately.

Alas! It's too difficult, and it's impossible to prevent Kobe. Unless, wait until his hand feels down and enters the state of iron.

Trailing by four points, the East immediately attacked, and the ball spun around and came to James again. Face Brandon. Roy's defense, the little emperor who didn't believe in evil shot three points again.

Bang! The ball bounced out of the frame again.

However, Howard, who was standing under the basket, grabbed ahead of O'Neal and moved the rebound to the outside.

The Knicks, who happened to receive the ball, pulled out his hand directly on Paul's head without any hesitation.

Hit! 124 to 125!

Offense is the best defense! Especially if you can't defend your opponent.

After Bryant hit a shot in front of Sun Yi again, his score in this game has reached 32 points. If the West wins, then the OK duo has a good chance of tying for the All-Star MVP trophy.

James, who has a poor hand, has only 20 points so far. Even if he leads the team to victory, it will be difficult for him to surpass his friend Wade, who scored 28 points, to become a player who has won three All-Star MVP trophies.

After a little hesitation, the little emperor decided that he would rather give his friend a favor than give this honor to Kobe.

Sun Yi didn't want to!

The chosen son, who gave up his personal self-reliance, immediately became the thigh of the omnipotent knight.

first broke through and then passed Wade to score a layup, then Kobe missed three points, and then grabbed a backcourt rebound and used a long pass to find Sun Yi, who was already down.

After the Knicks hit a three-pointer in a very competitive way, the Eastern Conference All-Stars led by four points with one minute left in the game.

……

When Wade, the core of the Heat, lifted the All-Star Game MVP trophy high, it meant that the basketball event in Phoenix had reached the end.

Who will be the winner, no one knows...... (To be continued.) )
