Chapter 325 [Ninety Percent Probability, Historical History]
At the beginning of the game, Guo Xu attacked Yao Ming for the first time, and attracted Yao Ming, who was switching defenses and assisting in the air, to score a dunk in the air.
In the second round, he misplaced O'Neal Jr. on the counter-attack, attracting Maddy to make up for the defense and assist Garnett for a dunk in the air.
In the third round, Ben Wallace did not change the defense, Guo Xu and Yao Ming played a block and dismantled in the middle, and then made a quick stop jump shot and scored easily.
In the fourth round, Ben Wallace changed the defense, Guo Xu assisted Yao Ming to score a high jumper, Iverson's height could not interfere with Yao Ming's shot with a height of 226CM, and there was a vacancy when he chose to chase the defense.
Point guards and centers are the easiest to create misalignments, Guo Xu is the fastest in the west, Yao Ming is the tallest, and both have good range.
After playing a few more rounds, Guo Xu assisted Garnett to score a layup, and the "Wolf King" started as a forward, and the opposite Maddie was misplaced, and the height advantage was too great.
The Western Stars scored one after another, and the Eastern Stars mainly passed the ball to Jordan for the main attack, Kobe Bryant was very faceless and tightly marked, and Jordan hit the iron again and again under the interference, and the score difference quickly widened to double digits.
In 7 minutes, Guo Xu scored 2 points and handed out 7 assists, including three assists for Garnett, two assists for Yao Ming, and one each for Kobe Bryant and Duncan.
Guo Xu partnered with O'Neal and Kobe Bryant on his second appearance, and the fans gave them warm applause.
The three of them still cooperate very tacitly, whether it is a triangle attack, a blocking attack or a quick counterattack, the east can't prevent it, and the opposite side of a wave of 14-0 calls a timeout. The other two players, Marion and Francis, also played well, O'Neal grabbed the rebound and launched a fast attack, and the four rushed forward.
When Kobe Bryant was off the court, the West used Marion to defend Jordan, and the "hackers" defended harder. As the least popular star of the tournament, Marion wants to let fans know himself by playing against Jordan.
Even if it is notorious, Marion will not hesitate, and his face is just right to be a villain.
Guo Xu is the All-Star vote king, and Western Conference coach Nelson Sr. arranged blocking tactics for him and gave him a lot of playing time, and the West led by 28 points in only three quarters, and the final quarter became garbage time.
Iverson can't easily get rid of Guo Xu alone, and he can't find teammates to block and dismantle, and as long as the interior line changes defense, he will not be available.
When it comes to the star game, center Ben Wallace is just a blue-collar player, and the Western players don't bother to foul him, collectively ignore him, and when he receives the ball near the penalty area, anyone who goes up can interfere nearby.
Ben Wallace can't play any of the five interior lines in the West, and even if Nowitzki is against him, he can become a super defensive player.
O'Neal Jr.'s offensive skills are more well-rounded, but he happened to be in a slump today, and his shooting percentage was very low. Of course, even if he is in good shape, it is impossible to take advantage of Duncan, Garnett, and Nowitzki.
Guo Xu stared at Iverson on the defensive end, and when he encountered a cover, he bypassed the defense breakthrough and interfered with the shooting. He really can't find a reason to deliberately make a defensive "black hole" to let the opponent play easily.
At halftime, Maria Kelly sang "Hero", and everyone was very moved. Halfway through the song, Jordan couldn't control his tears, and a strong man cried. The hero's basketball career is coming to an end, and this season is really over, and the classic picture can only stay in the memories of fans.
But no matter how moved they are, it is impossible for the Western stars to help Jordan's team win together and help him win the MVP of the All-Star Game. As for Iverson, he is a show-stealing actor when he plays well, no different from Guo Xu.
Since he is also stealing the limelight from Jordan, why doesn't Guo Xu perform better?
In the end, the West beat the East 141-116.
Guo Xu played 32 minutes, 9 of 12 shots, 2 of 3 three-pointers, 20 points, 2 rebounds, 16 assists and 2 steals, and 3 turnovers were slightly flawed, but no one cared because he shot 75% from the field.
Garnett was the second-best performer, finishing with 30 points, seven rebounds, three assists and three steals on 14-of-19 shooting and 2-of-2 from the free-throw line.
Kobe, O'Neal, Duncan, and Francis also scored in double figures. Yao Ming became the only soy sauce starter in the West, playing only 17 minutes and scoring 4 points and 2 rebounds.
It's not that Guo Xu doesn't want to pass, but Yao Ming really doesn't know how to perform, he is a little too selfless, in the face of Ben Wallace, who is a head shorter than himself, he doesn't take the initiative to ask for the ball alone, and he passes the ball in front of him after blocking and dismantling. There are many stars in the west, and Yao Mingkai is easier to help his teammates create misplaced opportunities, and the style of play is very reasonable, but there are really no fans who like to watch this.
Maddy, the best performer in the East, scored 27 points and put on a spectacular self-dunk, but it didn't last long, hitting just 15 shots and hitting 9 of them.
Jordan shot a lot like in his previous life, shooting just 7-of-21, 0-of-2 three-pointers, 2-of-2 free throws, and only had 16 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists. The audience could only sigh again and again on the sidelines that Jordan was really old, and then applaud hard after he finally scored a goal.
Guo Xu and Garnett won the All-Star Game MVP together. When presenting the awards, the two praised each other, saying that it was a cool thing to be teammates at the All-Star Game.
Guo Xu is really cool, as soon as the two inside lines are pulled out, Garnett, who is a cameo small forward, cuts in the air, and receiving the ball is a misplaced offensive opportunity, Garnett jumps or catches the ball near the penalty area and lays up, the shooting rate is super high, and Guo Xu has many assists.
Garnett couldn't get up as soon as he returned to the Timberwolves, he didn't have so many mismatch opportunities, he had to play power forward honestly, there was no super interior to withdraw to the basket, and there was no super guard to feed him.
If Peak Garnett and the current Guo Xu join forces, there is no doubt that they will win the championship, but unfortunately they don't have this fate.
This time, Guo Xu did not deliberately compete for MVP, and won the award because his style is too suitable for the All-Star Game, the opponent's outside defense is not very tough, the offensive rhythm is fast, it is easy to assist teammates, and it is easy to get a misplaced shot opportunity after blocking and dismantling.
In his third year, he has won two All-Star Game MVPs and was dubbed the "Star of Stars" after the game. He shines brighter than O'Neal and Kobe, both of whom played 25 minutes in the All-Star Game.
Many people on the Internet believe that Guo Xu has a ninety percent chance of winning the regular season MVP this year, not because of the league's support, but because of his personal ability, data, and record, he is the most qualified to be elected.
The Suns had a poor record last season, and Guo Xu led the team to win more than 20 games, and scored 20+10 assists.
At the moment, the Spurs' record is not as good as the Suns, and the team's overall performance is similar to last season. Although "Stone Buddha" Duncan's statistics have reached the peak of his career, stable 20+10, he has won the MVP last season, and it is difficult to convince the public even if the data is beautiful.
The other players couldn't compete with them, either because the team had a bad record, or the numbers were poor, or the attendance was not high enough.
The stars of the Mavericks and Kings are flawed, the stars of the Timberwolves and the Eastern teams have no records, and Guo Xu should be able to achieve his wish as long as he can lead the team to play the top three in the West. Third in the West, which is third in the league.
As long as he wins the award, Guo Xu will become the youngest regular season MVP winner in NBA history, breaking a historical record.
Because the Suns lost 13 of the first 21 games and only lost two games after that, Suns fans often scolded former Suns coach Frank Johnson, who had disappeared from the NBA, on the Internet.
If Frank wants to find a job in the NBA in the future, it will be difficult to climb to the sky.
