929: Once you make a move, it's not that simple (4th update)
Durant's image in front of the media has plummeted, and relations with reporters have become strained.
After all, yesterday Durant didn't just choke Link, but also the media by the way.
After the question about the voting mechanism, the host asked Durant and Thunder coach Scott. Problems related to Brooks' coaching.
As a result, Durant just said lightly, "You don't know anything but making something out of nothing." ”
Durant can be said to be black to the end last night, completely completing the blackening.
All media don't like, even if it's Kevin. Durant.
Early this morning, reporters naturally surrounded Durant. How they wish that the obedient scorer of their fantasies would come back and tell everyone that he was just too impulsive yesterday.
As a result, Durant shattered this illusion ruthlessly.
"Honestly, I'm only here to talk to you guys because I have to, not because I want to. So, I really don't care what you guys say about me. None of you are my friends, you can write what you want. You're going to like me one day and hate me the next. I don't care, that's all. ”
Durant still didn't give reporters a good fruit to eat today, and it seems that Durant was completely crushed by the pressure of his own stop-and-go this year.
Durant, who would not have participated in the All-Star Game, turned the All-Star Game into the spotlight.
Now, the whole world wants to see who is right, Link or Durant.
Whether Link can only win the award by relying on the media, or Durant is talking nonsense when he loses.
All of this will be revealed in today's game!
As a result, tonight's All-Star Game became a high-profile event. Because in addition to being a wonderful performance, this game is also a little more confrontational than before.
It's not a confrontation between the East and the West, it's a confrontation between Link and Durant.
The All-Star Game is mixed with confrontational ...... This is a rare occurrence.
Whether Link wins or Durant wins in the end, everyone is looking forward to the loser's reaction!
If you want to win the All-Star MVP, you must first be able to win the game. Secondly, you have to get a good personal data.
And if you need good data, you need to have the right to shoot.
Well, in the All-Star Game, everyone actually didn't take it very seriously.
On the eastern side, although Anthony and James, as well as the Hawks who were collectively selected, are all enemies of Link. But at the All-Star Game, they weren't too serious.
Link is confident he won't run into any strong defense. So as long as you have the right to shoot, you have points and data!
In this way, the biggest trouble now is not in the east, but in the west.
If Link wants to make a shot, he needs a lot of passes from his teammates. But on the western side, Link has a lot of opponents.
The starting lineup in the West this year is Curry, Harden, Link, Duncan and Gasol, of which Harden will definitely not pass the ball to Link.
On the bench, Paul and Westbrook will certainly not be paired with Link.
Sitting in the locker room, Link looked around at his teammates and quickly picked out the three potential disruptors.
But what about the rest?
Link found that most of them were still supporting themselves!
Gasol needless to say, he is definitely 100 percent behind Link.
Although Curry has no personal relationship with Link, the "elementary schoolboy" character is still good, he doesn't hold grudges, and he won't pass the ball to himself.
"Old Dengtou" is the same as Curry, even if Duncan doesn't help Link, he won't deliberately stir up the situation.
In the bench lineup, Link has more helpers.
Lillard and Aldridge, two Trail Blazers giants, were both former members of Link's training camp. Everyone's personal relationship is also good, they must be very Link.
As for Cousins, that guy is even more willing to go to the trouble for Link. As soon as Link says, "Hey, help me grab the All-Star MVP," Cousins will go out of his way to help.
In most people's eyes, Cousins is a fool. But in Link's eyes, Cousins was a very reliable friend.
The rest of Clay. Although Thompson will not help Link, his character of not fighting or grabbing will never disrupt the situation.
In this way, Link can still get the support of the majority.
Today, he's not just going to win the MVP, he's going to win it beautifully!
Before the game began, Cousins mysteriously approached Link, "Don't worry, KD must lose face today." ”
"What are you talking about, I don't understand." Link deliberately played dumb, but Cousins just blinked his eyes with a "you know" expression.
Link smiled, relieved.
Durant thought that Link could win so many honors because of media favoritism?
Link will let Durant know that in addition to the media, his popularity in the league and his status in the hearts of fans are far beyond imagination!
At 8:30 p.m. on February 15th, the 2015 NBA All-Star Game officially started!
The Gasol brothers jumped in the middle circle, becoming the first brothers in NBA history to be named to the All-Star at the same time.
After Gasol Jr. won the basketball, Curry slowly held the ball across the half court and motioned for someone to play an empty catch with him.
Harden just wanted to respond, but Link rushed first. Curry made a light pass, and Link grabbed the basketball and smashed it into the frame.
It didn't take much effort for Link to score the first point of tonight's All-Star Game.
It seems that Curry's personality is better than Link imagined.
Although he is the Grizzlies' worst enemy right now, he is not as annoying as the likes of Durant, Harden and Paul.
On the contrary, Harden was deflated, and he also came for MVP today. But today it doesn't seem so easy to take the trophy away.
Subsequently, James also broke through the violent dunk. There is basically no defense on both sides, and they just started, so they have to practice with two violent dunks.
Curry chose to shoot a long-range three-pointer himself this time, but perhaps because of the cold hand at the beginning of the game, Curry's shot stumbled out of the frame and missed.
Gasol Jr. took the offensive rebound from his brother's head, but instead of immediately attacking twice to show himself, he passed the ball back to Link from beyond the three-point line!
"Thanks, buddy!" Link knew that Gasol was deliberately helping himself, and he didn't allow himself to live up to this intention!
So two steps away from the top of the arc outside the three-point line, Link shot directly!
James, who was defending Link, didn't press, the All-Star Game, there was no need to do it with real guns. James doesn't even bother to play seriously in the regular season now, let alone an All-Star.
And at this distance, there is no need to defend seriously.
As everyone knows, Link's ultra-long-distance shooting went directly into the net!
The moment the basketball entered the net, Kobe Bryant stood up and cheered. Durant sat in his seat, sullen.
Kobe Bryant could see that Link was full of desire right now! Unlike the All-Stars of previous years, Link doesn't want to paddle this year, he really wants to win the MVP and win!
And when Link craves something, no one can stop him!
"Link scored five points in a row and he was in great shape! Before the game, Kevin had some conflicts with Link. Link said he would respond to Kevin during the game. Now, the response begins! ”
The on-site commentators were also excited, and they all knew that Link was going to make a move.
Bryant looked at the big screen at the scene, and now Link's score is 5 points. However, this number will definitely go up like crazy.
Because once Link wants to make a move, he doesn't just win MVP.
By the way, what is the all-time record for the highest scoring in All-Star history?
Thinking of this, Kobe Bryant took out his mobile phone and inquired. Then, I looked forward to the game even more......
