Chapter 247: Jumping Soul
Li Liang went off the court, Duncan and Parker appeared, and the game suddenly became a little boring.
In any All-Star Game, if it is to be entertaining, it must have live treasure players and players with elegant and beautiful playing styles.
In the era when the big four quarterbacks were still active on the main stage of the NBA, Iverson's dribbling and passing, Carter, Maddy, and Kobe's dunks always attracted the attention of many fans.
And O'Neal, the biggest living treasure in NBA history, may bring more laughs than Duncan has laughed in his career.
At the beginning, every time he participated in the All-Star Game, he had to come up with a special shoe, which was full of gimmicks.
Now that there is only Kobe Bryant left in the four quarterbacks, Kobe Bryant is now old and no longer has such a strong desire to perform.
O'Neal has retired from the commentary bench, and his heir, Howard, is happy enough.
But after going through the ups and downs of injuries and trades in the past two years, Howard's personality has tended to be calm, and he has been giggling a lot less.
So the game was a little dull on the field, and the fans were wondering when Bruce Lee would come back.
I still want to see this guy dribble, he shoots three points accurately, I didn't expect the ball to be so fancy and good-looking.
On the court, Anthony missed a three-pointer from the outside, and a tome from Parker hit a throw on the counter.
Then the Eastern Conference All-Star made a mistake, Chris Paul continued to show off the dribble under the crotch, and hit the basket with a backhand layup!
Didn't make ......
Duncan grabbed the frontcourt rebound and handed it back to Paul, Duncan really has no desire to show in the All-Star Game, you have a big windmill dunk!
Paul passes the ball to Parker, who again misses the shot.
James got the backcourt rebound and was about to dribble past half court when Paul suddenly stepped up and pressed the defense James.
James dribbled all the way to the three-point line and missed under Paul's interference.
Bryant made a steal, a backhand back pass to Durant, and finally had a chance to perform.
Durant jumped high and dunked with both hands behind his back, and the atmosphere on the scene finally warmed up a lot.
The East side was a little behind, Anthony asked for the ball in the low post, Wade hung the pass to Anthony, and scored two points under the basket.
Then, Wade fouled Kobe Bryant on defense, and the game went into an official timeout.
On the bench of the Western All-Star Game, Li Liang and Mike Brown chatted, anyway, in the All-Star Game, the main role of the coach is to change people, arrange tactics or something, and there is no such thing.
"Mike, you hurry up and turn everyone over, and let me play when it's over."
"Be quiet, I'm an impartial coach... What, do you want to win the MVP? ”
Li Liang shook his head, All-Star MVP or something, a very chicken honor, he is not interested.
He just wanted to get on the court and show off his dribbling skills.
He found that the feeling of playing with the ball was really refreshing, and it was much more fun than squatting in the bottom corner and running or something.
It's no wonder that Corvo often holds the ball and doesn't let go, it turns out that it feels so good.
Since playing in Kentucky, Li Liang has never been a ball handler.
He's spent most of his time playing wild ball, but can that compare to playing in the NBA?
There is a ball in his hand as deep as the sea, and no ball is a passerby from now on.
Li Liang's exposure to the fun of attacking with the ball is a bit out of control.
For the time being, though, he can restrain himself and limit that impulse to the All-Star Arena.
In the official matches after that, he still plays how he should play, and he won't mess around.
Now his [basic dribble] has reached 40 points, which is all the way out of the electricity.
If he still wants to continue to improve, he has to be electrocuted, and Li Liang feels that he has to let his skin and nerves rest.
After the timeout, the two sides entered a massive rotation.
In the East, Tyson Chandler and Kyrie Irving came on, and in the West, Mike Brown replaced Harden and Randolph.
LeBron James joked with reporters on the sidelines, and when the reporters were broadcasting, he directly took others away.
After playing for more than a minute on both sides, Paul George, Noah and others also took the court.
Randolph hit a long shot from the outside.
Kyrie Irving, on the other hand, used a nice juggling dribble past the defender and burst inside for a left-handed pick-and-roll.
Irving's dribbling was incomparably superb, and the ball seemed to be glued to his hands.
From a human-ball point of view, Irving has done an excellent job.
When he dribbles through, it's almost impossible to find his flaws to break his ball.
Irving's brilliant dribble and layup drew cheers from the fans.
Li Liang seized the opportunity to say to Mike Brown: "This is what fans want to see!" Won't you send me up? Look at what they're playing, whatever. “
In addition to Kobe Bryant, who is still on the court in the West on the spot, Randolph and Parker are not players who are good at acting.
Kobe doesn't like acting now, Parker has the ability to act, he doesn't want to act.
As for Harden...... Forget it, his beard is more ornamental than his style of play.
After a while, Mike Brown replaced Westbrook.
Westbrook was still playing very vigorously, but he threw one outside the three-point line, and the "Bang" one hit the iron.
In fact, it's no wonder that players are reluctant to perform at the All-Star Game now, one reason is the fear of injury.
It's not worth it to perform a dunk, a breakout, and to injure yourself at the All-Star Game.
The second is that the current fans' evaluation of the players is not very fancy to the All-Star Game.
The focus is still on the official game, and the stars come here to relax and have fun.
So, a lot of times the players just shoot on the court and go through the motions.
Generally, at the last moment, I will play seriously for a while in order to win or lose.
But playing seriously does not mean that the viewing is strong.
Lul Deng got the backcourt rebound, made an ugly dribble to the frontcourt, and turned in a row, but nothing came out.
At the end, the ball was passed to Paul George on the baseline.
Paul George rushes to the basket and makes a pull-up backhand layup!
Didn't make ......
Houston fans are dogs tonight, what are they singing about, and what are they playing ball?
Can you give it a little more energy?
Chandler then grabbed the rebound and made a layup, causing Duncan to foul and go to the free throw line.
At the end of the first quarter, Westbrook used his speed to go straight to the basket and finally made a layup, without embarrassing the All-Stars again.
At the end of the first quarter, the Western All-Stars led the Eastern All-Stars by 6 points at 32-26.
During the break in the first quarter, the big screen footage of the scene was given to Yao Ming, who was sitting on the sidelines.
To his right sits Alexander, the owner of the Rockets, and to his left is Houston's legendary Olajuwon.
I have to say that Yao Ming is a younger brother in terms of achievements and strength, and Olajuwangbi.
But in terms of aura, the whole alliance sleeps in front of him as a son.
No way, the body is too big, and the face is too square.
Soon, the second quarter of the game began.
This time, Mike Brown can't let Li Liang sit on the court anymore.
Sitting down again, Li Liang had to use his yang finger to poke a hole in Brown's waist.
Back on the court, the cheers of the scene suddenly rose again.
It's really rare, Li Liang's popularity now is incredible.
It's not because he's awesome or powerful, it's just because he's funny.
Fans come to see the All-Star Game, in addition to chasing stars, isn't it just for fun.
The retirement of the previous living treasures, mature and mature, now it's easy to come again, can everyone treat him as a baby?
And unlike the average black star who likes hip-hop and play, Li Liang has a kind of Oriental style that is unique, just like Yao Ming's humor.
It's not just a trick, but everyone just wants to see what he can do.
Li Liang straightened the hat on his head and conducted a random selection again:
[Black Pearl's Top Hat: Draw Ralph Alstone's skip to my lou!] 】
Li Liang took a look, this skill is good!
Alstom's signature dribbling move, this is Houston again, Rockets fans must be familiar and missed, right?
Oh, I don't necessarily miss it, it's familiar anyway.
Li Liang lifted the belt of his pants, and in the second quarter, he wanted to continue to show his "superb" dribbling skills.
The players on the court in the West at this time are Westbrook, Harden, Randolph and Aldridge.
At the beginning of the second quarter, the East served first, and Holiday of the East came on the court as a point guard.
One operation, Noah blocked and dismantled, Lu Erdeng missed the layup, and Li Liang got the backcourt rebound.
Westbrook asks Li Liang for the ball, can Li Liang give you the ball?
He waved at Westbrook and motioned for him to move forward and let me take possession of the ball!
Westbrook didn't care, everyone knew that tonight could be Bruce Lee's show.
Li Liang dribbled past half court and Paul George came to defend him.
In the past, Li Liang was never able to accelerate the dribble over long distances against defense.
But the soul possession of this jump, Li Liang will not be able to pass half the game?
He dribbled the ball under his hip continuously, accelerated, and then made a smart jump in the air, and the moment he landed, he stuffed the ball straight to the inside, and Randolph received the ball and made a left-handed layup!
The scene was full of exclamations, and Kobe Bryant made a stunned expression off the court.
Is this still Bruce Lee?
Is he still the same Bruce Lee who basically doesn't dribble, only runs without the ball, catches and shoots, and plays at the top of the arc?
This wonderful jumping dribble made the fans excitedly take out their mobile phones to take pictures.
On the big screen, the TV station repeatedly broadcast Li Liang's jumping dribble.
Although there is a suspicion of walking, at the All-Star Game, such a performance referee will not blow the whistle to ruin the fun.
Li Liang has now completely become the focus of the circle.
Westbrook was clearly not convinced, though.
In the next Western team's offense, he singled out Holiday one-on-one from the outside.
Consecutive crotch dribbles, crossover and back-pull jumpers.
However, his ball is obviously not as cool as Li Liang's, and besides, he is a defender, and dribbling is originally a strength.
And Li Liang is a striker, if he is a center, the effect will be better.
It's like O'Neal, who played the main point guard in the All-Star Game, was an interesting sight.
Li Liang's performance immediately hooked the performance desires of the players on both sides.
Paul George broke through with consecutive crotch dribbles and passed the pass to Noah for a dunk in the basket.
Then Paul George made a steal from Westbrook and scored a fast break dunk.
The two sides played more and more, and Durant hit another three-point shot.
And Li Liang continued his "jumping soul", playing tricks on the court, dribbling and flying.
He spun the top in succession and burst under the basket, and a very hidden pass to Aldridge was provided for Ade's dunk.
Harden also contributed his trademark European step, hitting a left-handed toss.
Everyone was slowly activated and let go, and Li Liang was addicted to playing in the point guard position.
He could have passed the ball, and when paired with Alston's dribble, it was a great boost.
While dribbling and flying, he commanded the attack of the Western team, and from time to time came a ground-hitting pass.
It's decent, but the data isn't good.
Because some of his passes were useless and he didn't attack much, he just had fun.
At halftime, the West Army was 70:65, leading the East Team by 5 points.
At halftime, Kobe Bryant and Howard grabbed Li Liang and asked him where he learned these dribbling moves?
Li Liang said: "What are you doing, you want to learn?" If you want to be my teacher, I can consider teaching you two tricks. ”
Kobe Bryant smiled disdainfully, if you want to say that these skills will be, he will actually do.
It's just that Kobe Bryant's offensive skills have reached the point of great ingenuity, and he rarely uses those particularly fancy dribbles to get rid of defense.
A tentative step, a turn, a feint, you can have room to shoot.
Why do you need those fancy moves.
In comparison, Howard is relatively unproductive, and he really wants to apprentice.
Li Liang patted his chest and said, "No problem, I'll teach you when I go back to Los Angeles, and the tuition fee is not expensive." ”
There was a cheerful atmosphere in the locker room, and only one person didn't look particularly happy, and his smile was a little reluctant.
That's Chris Paul.
