Chapter 237: Mixed Doubles

In the second half, the Eastern troops came back to attack first.

As soon as Iverson came up, he hit a mid-range shot with Yao Ming after blocking and dismantling.

Unlike in the first half, he came back in the second half and started to attack on his own.

It seems that the story is not only happening in the middle of the field, but also on the side of the east.

60-52, the East Army extended its lead to eight points.

The Western troops attacked, Sun Hao organized with the ball, and he and Nowitzki returned the ball after blocking the dismantle.

Nowitzki hit a high jumper after receiving the ball.

The tie-in between the Dallas twins.

Iverson continued to attack in the frontcourt, but Sun Hao's shot was interfered with by Duncan this time.

Bryant stepped back to grab a defensive rebound.

His next move surprised everyone on the side of the Western Army.

He actually turned around and gave the ball to Sun Hao!

Nowitzki was stunned, this is ...... What happened?

The western troops played a fast attack, Iverson retreated relatively backward, and Sun Hao directly stopped and chased down for three points.

"Huh!"

Sun Hao continued his excellent feeling in the first half, chasing three points and scoring three-point shots!

His score also came to 12 points!

A wave of attacks in the front of the Eastern Army did not score, and Sun Hao turned around and continued to organize.

However, Garnett, who received the ball, failed to hit a jumper, and the rebound was collected by Yao Ming.

Iverson's fast-break throw also missed.

He didn't attack much in the first half, and in the second half he didn't feel particularly good.

Then, something unexpected happened to the rest of the Western Force again.

Sun Hao, after advancing to the front court, gave the ball to Kobe!

You two ...... What the hell is this!

Bryant held the ball and forced the basket to the basket, causing Kidd's pull foul.

Unlike the situation of a bit of a waste in the first half, Kobe Bryant obviously cherished the ball and rushed to score.

Adjusting his breath, Bryant hit both free throws from the free throw line.

60 to 59!

The difference has been narrowed to 1 point unconsciously!

Iverson continued to attack in the frontcourt, Jordan covered him, and he returned Kobe Bryant's ball, which also caused a foul to go to the free throw line.

He made one of two free throws.

Back to the moment, Bryant continued to hold the ball to the basket, and a stop-the-box right-handed throw scored the ball.

61 flat!

West troops, tied the score!

The advantage established by the eastern troops in half of the battle was wiped out by the western troops in just over two minutes.

Iverson, a little confused.

At halftime, Jordan chatted with him.

Jordan said that he actually appreciated himself, so that he didn't have too much psychological burden, and let him let go of his hands and feet to attack in the second half.

"This is your home turf."

Even to encourage him, Jordan said something like this.

He accepted what Jordan said, and the two of them were relieved.

So at the beginning of the second half, he was very active in attacking, and Jordan was also taking the initiative to create opportunities for him.

However, because he didn't attack much in the first half, he needed time to find his feelings.

Judging by the performance of the West Force in the first half, he has this time.

But the reality is different from what he imagined.

As soon as the second half came up, first Sun Hao and then Kobe, the two of them were full of firepower as soon as they came up.

And Sun Hao played Kobe Bryant, and Kobe beat Sun Hao.

This Nima ...... Mixed doubles!

Iverson realized this, and playing him felt like a return to last season's Finals against the Lakers.

At that time, he was also the one who played O'Neal and Kobe.

As a result, it's now the All-Star Game, okay, O'Neal has become Sun Hao, and he is still 1 to 2!

Because he loved freedom all his life, this was God's punishment for him?

The game continued, although Sun Hao and Kobe Bryant scored differently and attacked differently, but the performance of the Western Army was like two teams in the first half.

After tying the score, they pulled the score away little by little.

A piece of advice that Nelson Sr. inadvertently gave also seems to give the best formula for super-defenders to work together.

In fact, in this year's All-Star Game in history, the West Army won the East Army by more than ten points, and the situation has been suppressed.

This is also the current strength between the East and West All-Stars, even if Carter was not injured last year, but O'Neal did not play, he still led by 17 points in the third quarter.

It takes a lot of chance to reverse this kind of thing.

The Western Army did not let that happen again this year.

The final score was fixed at 140-125, and the Western team won a big victory.

Bryant scored 31 points on 12-of-25 shooting.

Sun Hao made 14 of 22 shots and scored 33 points.

Although Kobe Bryant was more of a one-man offense when he held the ball, he didn't feel good and had to hand over the ball once he couldn't shoot, and he didn't shoot much in the second half.

Although Sun Hao is more in the organization of the offense, he has a good hand, plus he has passes and shots, some other opportunities, such as the opponent grabbing the offensive rebound, and the return pass of his teammates will be sent to him, and he has more shots in the last half than Kobe!

From the comparison of the data of the two, we can also see the two concepts of China and the West.

Kobe Bryant is looking at the benefits, how many shots he can take, and seize every opportunity to shoot.

Sun Hao looks at development, sustainability, and shared opportunities.

It can also be seen from the final statistics that although the advantage is not large, he won in the end.

Not long after the game, Stern smiled and announced the ownership of the All-Star Game MVP.

“…… Sun Hao. ”

There was no sharing, and Sun Hao became the MVP of the 2002 NBA All-Star Game.

"Congratulations to Quality for being the MVP of the 2002 NBA All-Star Game and receiving the badge 'Man of Glory.'"

When Sun Hao received the trophy from Stern, there was also a prompt sound of the system in his head.

It's just a little different from what he expected, instead of getting an aura bonus, he gets a new badge.

Glory Man: When more than 30 shots are taken, the negative impact of losing is greatly reduced, including the media, fans and management.

This is a non-upgradeable badge, and Sun Hao couldn't laugh or cry after reading it.

This badge is definitely useful, but it doesn't seem to be of much use to him right now.

Because the Mavericks score so much, he basically doesn't need to shoot as many times.

And seeing that the number of shots exceeded 30 times, Sun Hao naturally thought of tonight's competitor.

Well, he suddenly felt that this was another new fork in the road that the system had given him, and that road was called the Black Mamba Road.

However, this reward is reasonable.

won the best rookie before, he fought hard for one season, but the All-Star Game, no matter what method and strategy was used, was really brushed out.

A season and a game, spelling and brushing, the system can still tell.

It's perfectly acceptable to get a badge.

After the award ceremony, Jordan was the first to come over and say hello to him.

Jordan has had a full career accolade, but most of his accolades came after Phil Jackson began coaching the Bulls.

Sun Hao's first-year best rookie and second-year All-Star Game MVP, this early honor has surpassed him.

Of course, there are many people who have more honor than him in the early stage, old hooligans and old hooligans, there is an old word, and the latter is more important.

So he still came over to say hello to Sun Hao.

And he shot 4 of 13 tonight, and even copied Sun Hao's classics, staged a fast-break dunk and dunk basket, and finally felt a little old.

After Jordan, Yao Ming also came over to congratulate him.

Yao Ming handed over 6 points, 8 rebounds and 2 blocks in the first All-Star Game, and didn't get many opportunities.

Basically, except for the peak O'Neal, the All-Star Game stage is basically playing soy sauce with rebounds because there is no ball in his hand.

However, this is much better than Yao Ming's first All-Star Game trip with 2 points and 2 blocks in history.

The All-Star Game is over, and each team will have a 3~4-day off-season.

Christmas is an American revelry, but the NBA players' revelry is actually in the days after the All-Star break.

Of course, as in the past, such are limited to players, as the trade deadline is just around the corner, and the management of the teams is at its busiest.

The Mavericks' management team is also a bit busy.

Previously, Cuban and Nelson Sr. agreed to find a center who could fight O'Neal.

They've been working in that direction ever since.

But in fact, not to mention the Mavericks, the whole league is doing this, but this kind of person is very difficult to find.

Because he doesn't exist because he can't keep O'Neal at bay!

It's more about how well O'Neill can be restricted.

Because O'Neill is not only as simple as black and coarse, but also has technology, you have to have tonnage, strength, and react relatively quickly.

Originally, there were a lot of big man alliances now, but if these conditions are set up, there are not a few left.

This is actually the same as looking for top 3D players in the future, looking at a lot, but in the end, after the exclusion, there may be only a few.

Scarcity is expensive.

It also brought Cuban and Nelson Sr. into conflict over opinions.

Because among those people, no matter which one they are, they need the Mavericks to pay a relatively large price.

Sun Hao and Nowitzki are obviously not for sale, and among the remaining players, Finley's contract is big and long, and no one wants it at all.

Those who can have trade value are also Lafrentz and Nash.

Lafrenz's tactical position is important, and it is basically impossible for the team to trade him.

So over and over again, a question that was raised after the end of last season's season was once again brought to the table.

Mavericks, in the end do you want to trade Nash.

"Nash played the best performance of his career before the All-Star break."

Nelson Sr. clearly doesn't want Nash to be traded.

The point guard link in his run-and-gun system is very important, and although Sun Hao's organizational skills are also good, he is more inclined to score.

"That's why he's worth trading."

Cuban's words back made the old Nelson a little irrefutable.

Don't compare Nash at this time with Nash at Sun.

In history, in 2004, Nash asked for a contract with an annual salary of 10 million, and Cuban was unwilling to give it.

Don't think about how high the annual salary was at that time, there were four people on the Mavericks who exceeded this salary that season.

Not to mention that it's only 2002.

Nash's ability to have a relatively large trade value really has something to do with his excellent performance before the All-Star break, as Cuban said.

'Mark, he's so important to the team, he's able to break down the defense.

Nelson Sr. continued.

After playing the Timberwolves so hard before, the Mavericks began to practice positional battles.

Nash's passing was the heart of that tactic.

In an as-if way.

If the Mavericks play the Forest leader in the playoffs, there will certainly be two situations with and without Nash.

With Nash, the Timberwolves' joint defense system will be much weaker in positional warfare.

Without Nash, the team can only rely more on Sun Hao's touch on the outside.

In terms of positional offense alone, Nash's role is very close to that of Kidd now with the Nets.

"If you're still aiming for the division semifinals, that's fine, but our goal is the Lakers, the championship!"

"But if we fall before we meet the Lakers, that doesn't make sense!"

The two chatted to the end, but they quarreled again as before.

In the end, the elder Nelson insisted on his opinion.

In addition to Nash's role, he has to take into account the team's chemistry as head coach.

It is impossible for Nash, as a head coach, to ignore the relationship between Nash and Sun Hao and Nowitzki.

The two were at a stalemate.

Eventually, old Nelson came up.

"With this lineup, if I don't win the championship, I will resign myself next year!"

Kuban also came to lose his temper.

But just as he was about to agree, a man barged in.

Nelson Jr.

Little Nelson has been listening outside the door for a long time.

Usually the two quarrel, he just listens to it, but this time he knows that if he doesn't come out again, things will be big.

"Actually, there's a compromise."

Under the fierce gazes of Cuban and Nelson Sr., Nelson Jr. barely squeezed out a smile and said.

Both Cuban and Nelson Sr. sat back and listened to him first.

If you really think that Nelson Jr. can become the team's deputy general manager because his father is Nelson Sr., it is a big mistake.

Nelson Jr.'s ability and personality would be perfectly suited to this position by any other team.

"We can find a few more people and use wheel warfare against Shaq."

Nielsen Jr. has come up with a whole new concept.

The idea itself isn't difficult, but Cuban and Nelson Sr. didn't think about it when they were arguing about whether to use Nash as a bargaining chip.

Since the price paid by the people who are restricted from trading O'Neal is so big, it is better to lower the level and find a few more who can carry O'Neal.

Wheel warfare, which will be used in any era.

"Who do you think you can find?"

Kuban's mood eased a lot.

Nielsen Jr. is clearly his preferred management over Nelson Sr.

Old Nelson shouldn't be a part-time general manager, that thing is not for him.

"Sabonis can be one of the targets."

Nelson Jr. was quick to say a nominee.

If you really want to say that you can carry it with O'Neill, it has to be the "roof of the world".

Sabonis' inside confrontation with O'Neal in the Western Conference final two years ago is still fresh in my mind.

It's just that Sabonis has been stopping and stopping this season due to injuries, and he is almost in the retirement stage.

But because of this, the chips he paid will not be too big.

"There's one more person."

Wheel war, wheel war, is definitely more than one person.
