1602. The Least Wanted Trophy (5000 Words for Subscription)
didn't keep his hand at all, Sun Ce's desire to attack and the degree of positive running were not lost to the usual game at all.
His desire to win is not on the same level as other players, and he also drives his teammates on his own side.
When the eastern troops finally reacted, Sun Ce had already cast his feelings!
At the end of the first quarter, the Western Army led the Eastern Army by 10 points 36-36!
During the interval, Old Bickerstaff asked Sun Ce if he wanted to continue fighting.
Although he was eager to let Sun Ce play the whole game, generally speaking, even if he used the enemy team's players to death, he would only play more than thirty minutes, not more.
Sun Ce was naturally happy and nodded in agreement.
After the start of the second quarter, the Western team sent a lineup of Sun Ce, Irving, Lillard, Anthony Davis, and Aldridge.
The East Army sent a lineup of Paul, Wall, Anthony, Griffin, and Pau Gasol, but Joggle didn't make any deliberate moves, and didn't even think too much about the lineup, and took turns to reduce the playing time of his two All-Stars, Hayward and Hibbert.
At the beginning of the second quarter, Sun Ce gave Anthony a big hat to cut into the basket, Anthony grabbed the offensive rebound himself, and Anthony Davis pounced on it and hit another big hat.
When Anthony grabbed the offensive rebound again and was about to get stronger, he saw Sun Ce jumping up again, quickly retracted his action, shook Sun Ce and got up again, although he didn't score, but caused a foul.
Anthony felt that he was so sad, and he actually had Sun Ce and Anthony Davis, two blocking maniacs, which are the top two on the block list this season! It just so happens that he Anthony is the kind that is very easy to block.
Fortunately, he has an excellent sense of smell on the hat board, and he is in his prime, and he can grab the ball by himself most of the time after being capped.
Walking to the free throw line, Anthony really had nothing to say about Sun Ce's enthusiasm.
In terms of strength, Anthony feels that he is really not Sun Ce's opponent, unless he pulls away one-on-one.
Moreover, Sun Ce didn't care about physical strength at all!
In the game, this is something that Anthony can't compare!
Sun Ce's hard work after the start of the second quarter of the game was not lost to the first quarter! The physical potion accumulated before the last game against the Thunder was not used, and tonight in order to win the All-Star MVP, ready to be used at any time.
However, Irving and Lillard came up, a two- and third-year two-point guard combination, and they are not as good at being as good as older players, who can burst out on their own, and shoot on their own.
Sun Ce can't help it, he and Anthony Davis defend with all their might, Sun Ce alone or Anthony Davis alone can't build a no-fly zone, Aldridge can just carry it, the defense is really average.
But Sun Ce and Anthony Davis are both there, both want to defend well, and the other party can only float on the outside to shoot, the key is that the East team has a shot to see the luck of Wall.
The eastern troops had no choice but to rely on the advantage of having a center and were forced to play defensive with the western troops.
The lineup of the Eastern Army did not break through to the interior line of the Western Army, but the guard line of Paul and Wall, coupled with the basket defense of Pau Gasol, the Western Army did not play well.
The second quarter was a fight, and it gradually turned into a defensive battle.
The difference was gradually narrowed, and at 5:22, the West led the East by 7 points 59-52, and only scored 13 points in more than 5 minutes, which is still rare in the All-Star Game.
Old Bickerstaff called a timeout to make adjustments.
It's not that I'm worried about winning or losing, Sun Ce's MVP or not has nothing to do with old Bickerstaff's fart.
In more than 4 minutes, Sun Ce only scored 4 points, although he had 3 rebounds and 3 blocks, the old Bickerstaff was worried that Sun Ce would see that there was no chance to win the MVP, so he played casually, or asked to go down to rest, this can work!
Irving and Lillard, two sophomores and third-year players, have already played, and the old Bickerstaff will not care about them, and the lineup of Curry, Harden, Sun Ce, Paul George, and Anthony Davis will be replaced again!
The offensive firepower is rising, and the defense is not bad! Especially Harden, facing Wade and Rose, who were replaced in the East, Harden defended very well.
At halftime, the Western Army was 83-71 and re-stretched the margin to double digits.
In the third quarter, when the lineup of Sun Ce, Curry, Durant, James, and Love came on the court, Sun Ce and Curry splashed and soared!
However, on the East side, in the third quarter, Joggle also began to rotate well, sending a core lineup of Rose + Griffin, Dragic and Hayward receiving shots, plus Hibbert to defend James under the basket.
In the case that Durant's desire to attack is not strong, if it weren't for Sun Ce and Curry's three-point shots in a row, they really couldn't stop Rose and Griffin's blocking and pick-and-roll offense.
The All-Star game, even if it is a real job and crazy grinding defense, not only has the viewing not decreased, but the fans feel better looking!
No matter how good the defense is, there will always be such and such loopholes, if it is the regular season, the opposing team will always have role players on the court, the biggest difference between role players and stars is that most of them shoot in the open position, while stars can seize the opportunity in the moment when there is defense and confrontation.
When both teams are All-Stars, the ability of offensive players to grasp opportunities is very strong when there is confrontation and the opposing defense is excellent, which is really much better than the endless easy shots and easy dunks of the two teams from a sensory point of view!
At the end of the third quarter, the two teams were tied at 110-101, and the West and East teams played a score of 27-30 in this quarter, which was the lowest score in the first three quarters of the game.
But the cheers of the fans at the scene were the most manic!
The rhythm is not satisfied, the offensive and defensive confrontation is strong, and the game is very compact and wants to seize the opportunity......
After the third quarter, Sun Ce only rested for more than 4 minutes in the first half of the third quarter, and played more than 31 minutes, Sun Ce shot 17 of 29, including 5 of 9 three-pointers, and hurricane 45 points, 13 boards, 1 assist and 7 blocks!
Last year, Kobe Bryant played 33 minutes to set a single-game All-Star scoring record of 44 points, and Sun Ce broke it in 31 minutes!
Kobe Bryant, who saw him on the sidelines, gritted his teeth - how could he be so unique with this guy last year?
Wait a minute! Last year, this guy was just as alone! Dominating the ball, although he didn't shoot a few times last year, he got more than 20 assists!
Kobe Bryant hated it, and he knew that he would shoot more last year, not pass, and score him 60 points.
Although he fought very hard, because of his teammates, Sun Ce felt that it was time to use physical fitness medicine after the first three quarters, and he used it decisively!
In the fourth quarter, the head coaches of the two teams did not spare their hands and sent the strongest lineup!
On the eastern side, it is naturally a defensive + singles lineup, with Paul, Dragic, Evans, Griffin, and Noah on the court.
Dragic and Evans are both very good singles, both are scoring point guards, Paul and Griffin block and pick and roll together, and Griffin's close range and under the basket are fierce and fierce, and Noah is in the center of the defense.
In the Western Army, Sun Ce, Harden, Paul George, James, Anthony Davis played in the lineup.
In the first three quarters, James, who played slowly on the offensive end, scored 8 points, 3 boards, 12 assists and 1 steal, and began to exert his strength in the fourth quarter!
The eastern forces also raised the confrontation to the strongest.
Then, the thing that made the opponents extremely painful came again, Sun Ce, who played more than 31 minutes and shot 29 times in the first three quarters, continued to play hard at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends in the fourth quarter!
At the 10th minute and 22nd of the fourth quarter, Sun Ce fanned Anthony's close-range jumper from the rotation on the court, and James grabbed the ball and counterattacked!
After Sun Ce's block, he saw James grab the ball and immediately went down, Dragic and Paul followed closely, but after Sun Ce received James' long pass, the two All-Star point guards in the East, who had good defense, chose to give up, and Sun Ce jumped up and down the free throw line after receiving the ball, and easily picked up the basket to score two points.
51 points, 16 rebounds, 10 blocks, 2 assists and 2 steals!
The 50+ triple-doubles of the All-Star Game are in hand!
In this game, Sun Ce showed his strongest characteristics to the fullest, just like last year!
When his teammates perform well, Sun Ce can always grasp the containment effect of his teammates, and can seize the loopholes on the opponent's defensive end because of his teammates' good performance, he can choose to score, or he can choose to enter the opponent's range to create opportunities for his teammates, but today Sun Ce received the ball most of the time and did it directly!
On the defensive end, Sun Ce's four-man defense with Paul George, Anthony Davis, and Harden dragged Curry, or formed a strong outside pressing defense with James and Harden, which played a "lubricating" effect.
At the last moment of the fourth quarter, the five-man team of Sun Ce, Harden, Paul George, James, and Anthony Davis defended the East Army to the point of exploding!
Of course, the western troops were also defended quite badly, but the western troops were better defended! And with Sun Ce and James, they fought back very sharply!
Sun Ce counterattacked and scored a layup after blocking this time, and successfully helped the Western Army to stretch the difference to 11 points again, 134-123, and the Western Army locked the victory!
The East Army, which lacked players who could force three-point shots, failed to fight back in the last 1 minute and 20 seconds, and in the end, relying on Sun Ce's big triple-double of 54 points, 17 boards and 10 blocks, the West Army defeated the East Army 138-130!
……
Played more than 43 minutes and scored 54 points on 19-of-35 shooting...... Sun Ce set a new scoring record for the All-Star Game, improving the scoring record set by Kobe Bryant with a rose tie on the sidelines by 10 points last year!
Rebounds: 17 ...... The two sides made a total of 231 shots in this game, with 110 shots from the West and 121 shots from the East, and Sun Ce had no problem getting 17 rebounds.
The key is Sun Ce's 10 blocks!
Of those 10 blocks, 4 went to the same player...... Anthony looked at his 15 boards, seven of which were offensive rebounds, and Sun Ce and Anthony Davis used him as a block ATM.
Sun Ce once again proved that the better his teammates play, the better they play, the key is to play with him, and the others feel comfortable! Although Sun Ce has a black hole attribute tonight, Sun Ce will take the initiative to cooperate with the running position and look for shooting opportunities that are more beneficial to him, which in turn is more conducive to his teammates to get assists, rather than Lillard and Irving who do it themselves with the ball.
This kind of "black hole" is similar to Jordan Jr. or Korver or Hamilton, when the ball carrier passes to him, he is ready for Sun Ce to shoot, which is not quite the same as a black hole in the conventional sense.
The game is over, looking at the score of more than 130 to more than 130 jumped up by Sun Ce, this score is really rare in the All-Star Game, and people can forget 156 soaring after 40 minutes of rookie game.
But the fans watched happily and played until more than 1 minute left before Sun Ce and James cooperated to win the victory.
In general, the west can win because Sun Ce first "sneak attacked" to create a lead, and then relied on the advantage of overall strength to withstand the counterattack of the eastern team.
Among them, defense is the key of the key!
Harden, Paul George, Anthony Davis, these three showed off their defensive talent or strength on the All-Star stage.
The happiest thing is that the two owners of the Warriors who came to watch the game live, Harden has long shown a very good defensive talent, but he is a little lazy, now there is Curry to score, Iguodala to defend the opponent's arrow, in the regular season, Harden is not very willing to defend well except for playing a strong team.
But whenever there is this kind of game that Harden feels is important, he will defend it well, which is quite happy for the Warriors players, coaching staff, and management.
The eastern side, on the other hand, showed tenacious tenacity.
Although there are three centers in the East, Pau Gasol, Hibbert, and Noah, they are at a disadvantage compared to the West, and their most powerful weapons - Rose and Griffin's blocking and pick-and-roll offense, others are not unwilling to cooperate, but they can't cooperate as well as the role players of the Bulls.
Compared with the position in the West, the position is clearer, and on the East side, the guards who have been selected as All-Stars are all point guards, and the only serious scoring guard is Wade, who is no longer the brave he used to be.
But the defense is really good, and it can be carried to the end with the western troops, and the defense of the eastern point guard group plays an important role.
However, if you win, you win, if you lose, you lose, it doesn't affect everyone, everyone wants to win during the game, but when the game is over, it's just an all-star game.
Sun Ce showed the idea of winning the MVP from the beginning, and played for more than 43 minutes, fighting all the way, and people should have won it.
After the game, familiar all-star players were teasing Sun Ce for playing an all-star game as if he was playing in the finals, while Anthony drew circles in the corner.
Sun Ce and Anthony Davis have capped him 7 times! He played a total of 21 minutes, an average of every 3 minutes! How miserable!
After the game, the interview and chat took 15 minutes, and the MVP voting on the league side ended.
Although there is no suspense, Sun Ce not only won the fourth triple-double of the All-Star Game tonight, the first four are Jordan, Wade, and James; also refreshed the highest All-Star Game score, shooting 19 of 35, raising Kobe's record of 25 shots in the All-Star Game set last year to 35, and also increasing the score to 54 points; Also, Sun Ce is the first player to score a triple-double in the All-Star Game......
But the league still has to go through the motions.
At 10:35 p.m., David Stern came to the court with Miss Manners, Sun Ce was arched to the front by James, Griffin and others, although James got 14 points, 7 rebounds and 18 assists, but everyone knows that tonight's MVP is Sun Ce, and most of the players in the West are feeding Sun Ce.
Irving is so angry, originally he wanted to have a good ride tonight, but Sun Ce stole the limelight, although Irving also made other stars pay attention to it, this is one of the strongest point guards of the new generation, but compared with Sun Ce, in the minds of all-star players, the status of the two is not at the same level.
Sun Ce was disrespectful, and immediately stood in front after a second, but Sun Ce saw a person who should not be on the court - Kobe Bryant!
"Could it be ......" Sun Ce had a bad premonition.
David Stern picked up the microphone: "Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for coming here or watching this wonderful game in front of the TV or in front of the computer, and thank you to all the players for their efforts.
OK, OK, I know, everyone would love to see the Lords lift the MVP trophy again, but before I do that, I have a very important thing to announce! ”
David Stern didn't sell it at all, and said it directly, Sun Ce won the All-Star MVP for two consecutive years.
But the latter sentence of David Stern makes people wonder, what can be called important tonight and must be announced before the All-Star MVP is announced?
And David Stern's words made Sun Ce's uneasy feeling even worse! Because he saw it! There's something wrong with this year's All-Star MVP trophy!
There are actually two numbers on it!
"Ladies and gentlemen, after many rounds of discussion and consultation with many celebrities, we have finally made a decision, the NBA All-Star Game Most Valuable Player Trophy has been finally named, in order to thank Kobe Bryant for his outstanding contributions over the past 18 years, and in order to give Kobe Bryant, who has five All-Star Most Valuable Player awards, a lifelong achievement, I announce that the All-Star Most Valuable Player Trophy is named - Kobe Bryant Cup!"
There were a lot of Kobe Bryant fans at the scene, and when they heard this, the scene was boiling!
The players on the field and the players watching from the sidelines were also shocked, and then ...... Envy!
And Sun Ce, looking at the smile on Kobe's face, felt that it was called a cheap!
Arrogant, arrogant, proud...... Flooded together, Sun Ce felt too cheap! He wants to leave, he doesn't want this MVP anymore!
After a few seconds, and after the cheers gradually subsided, David Stern continued: "Ladies and gentlemen, I announce that the winner of the 2013-2014 New Orleans All-Star Weekend Most Valuable Player Award is Lords Noah! ”
David Stern will pick up the All-Star trophy, put it in Kobe's hand, and then hug Kobe.
Sun Ce looked at this picture and wanted to hit someone! It's the same as Kobe Bryant winning the MVP!
Kobe walked up to Sun Ce, opened his arms to hug, still with a cheap smile, laughing so much, Sun Ce hugged Kobe Bryant, and wiped the sweat on Kobe Bryant's body.
Taking the trophy, Sun Ce looked at the 8 and 24 ...... on both sides of the NBA logo above So jealous!
