Chapter 172: In the Fierce Battle All-Stars

The '97-98 All-Star Game was held at Madison Square Arena in New York, and the game was very intense from the start, with Liu Han and Jordan, last season's Finals opponents and this season's rivals, playing a surprising intensity in the All-Star Game.

On the first offense in the West after the start of the game, Liu Han scored three points with a skillful dribble and a very beautiful step-back step-back jumper.

Eastern offense, Anfernee Hardaway dribbled the ball through the half, Jordan took the initiative to come to the outside to ask for the ball, and Anfernee Hardaway did not hesitate to hand the ball directly to Jordan.

After Jordan got the ball, he faced Liu Han's defense, and in this game, Liu Han didn't plan to let Jordan play comfortably.

Jordan took the ball with his right foot and tried to step, and his movements were exactly the same as Liu Han's movements just now. Liu Han's position was very reasonable, and he didn't give Jordan a chance.

Jordan dribbled to the right side, and then suddenly changed direction in front of him to break through to the left, Liu Han reacted quickly and quickly followed Jordan.

Jordan broke through and had to turn around and lean against Liu Han, and then his right shoulder shook but suddenly turned to the left, a very large step-back jumper, Liu Han's defense was deceived by Jordan's shaking and did not keep up, Jordan scored two points.

Jordan's step-back jumper just now is very similar to Liu Han's, except that Liu Han's step-back step-back jumper just now is more difficult.

The intensity of the game was somewhat beyond the imagination of the audience, and Liu Han and Jordan both played very seriously.

The game continued, this time Liu Han did not ask for the ball again, Gary Payton dribbled past half court and the ball accelerated to break through Anfernee Hardaway and then threw the ball high, Garnett ran back to shake off Sean Camp and received a dunk. Compared with Liu Han and Jordan, the other players played a little more relaxed.

The east continued to attack, Anfernee received the ball in the backcourt and threw it directly to Jordan, Jordan took the ball and took advantage of Liu Han's failure to return to the defense and directly hit the inside, O'Neal quickly made up for the defense but was passed by Jordan. Jordan, who got to the basket, made a wonderful tomahawk dunk. O'Neal is another Western player besides Liu Han who is serious about defending Jordan.

When Jordan retreated, he deliberately walked to Liu Han's side and said to Liu Han: "What else do you do besides fighting?" I'm far worse than you. "Jordan has never been a big-hearted guy, he will do everything to hit the players he hates, there are rumors that Jordan has scolded the other party because he didn't beat Steve Cole in three points in training, although the two eventually reconciled, but it shows how serious Jordan's revenge is.

Liu Han's expression did not change in the slightest after hearing Jordan's trash talk, and there was no expression on his cold face.

In the next attack of the Western team, Liu Han did not take the initiative to ask for the ball, Gary Payton handed the ball to Karl Malone, and Malone took the ball and threw it directly, and the ball bounced out of the basket.

Just after the ball bounced, Liu Han suddenly hit the inside line and fell from the sky, he jumped very high, his head was almost level with the basket, his left hand grabbed the basketball in his hand, and his right hand held the ball at the same time, and he dunked the ball into the basket with both hands.

Liu Han's cut was very sudden, so that Jordan, who was defending Liu Han, did not have any reaction.

"I can dunk, Michael, I don't know if you can fly, but I know I can." Liu Han's words made Jordan, who was once nicknamed "Flyer", angry at his head, Liu Han may have been a player who respected his predecessors more, but now Liu Han is different, he now has a very clear attitude towards these old guys in the league, as long as you are not tough enough, he will keep bullying you, but as long as you have the ability to match your toughness, then you can ignore their status.

Liu Han's tough response surprised the All-Stars who heard the conversation between the two sides, and this was the first time he had seen a newcomer who dared to talk trash to Jordan.

The angry Jordan didn't even wait for Anfernee Hardaway to pass the ball to him, but started the attack with the ball from the back himself.

After Jordan dribbled the ball across the half court and faced Liu Han's defense, he turned around and sat inside with his back against Liu Han outside the three-point line, but Liu Han's current strength is enough to deal with such a scene, and Jordan has no way to shake Liu Han's defense.

In desperation, Jordan dribbled and turned around again to break through, but Liu Han stuck to Jordan, so that the opponent had no way to start.

Impatient, Jordan suddenly made a mistake in dribbling, and the ball bounced directly to his feet and flew out to the sideline.

Just when Jordan was still a little stunned, Liu Han had already reacted, he threw off Jordan and pounced towards the ball as soon as possible, when the ball was about to fly out of the sideline, Liu Han's body jumped into the air and saved the ball directly from outside the sideline, and then Liu Han landed again and ran towards the ball in the field, at this time the backcourt of the eastern team was empty.

Liu Han took the ball alone to the three-second zone and then twisted his body and jumped, his body turned directly in the air for 360 degrees, and then dunked the ball into the basket with his right hand.

The audience on the sidelines were stunned, this is a very rare turn 360 degree dunk in the game, at the time when the Internet has not been fully promoted, this action is the first time many people have seen, Liu Han showed them his strong bounce ability and body control ability in the air, some fans even feel that this ball alone is worth today's ticket price.

On the bench of the Western All-Stars, all the stars staggered, and they used exaggerated body movements to express their admiration for this dunk.

Jordan watched Liu Han return to his half with some red eyes, and to be honest, it was difficult for him to make a dunk like Liu Han now.

The game continued, with the gradual opening of Liu Han and Jordan, all the All-Stars also began to show themselves hard, O'Neal This guy except for working hard when defending Jordan, he is all kinds of funny moves, he even came from the backcourt a dragon, of course, this is done when the opponent releases water.

As for Liu Han and Jordan, as long as the ball is in the hands of the two of them, it will be difficult to be passed out, and the two of them are like bulls with red eyes, just staring at each other.

Ten minutes into the first quarter, both teams began to make substitutions, and the five up and five down substitutions also illustrated the nature of the game, after all, it was a "SHOW" field to show themselves, and the two managers needed to take care of everyone's play.

After Liu Han and Jordan got off the court, the game between the two sides became a dunk exhibition game again, but the slight difference was that the western side played more seriously, Jason Kidd controlled the rhythm of the game well after coming on the court, and the western troops played more reasonably, and their cooperation was more beautiful. George Krent has given Spurs rookie Tim Duncan a lot of playing time, and he's bullish on the unpretentious but unusually consistent rookie.

The East played a little more elegantly, with Tim Hardaway on the floor, all sorts of changes of direction and air dunks, and even Reggie Miller had two dunks. (To be continued.) )
