"Coach Henson, what do you think of Kobe. What about Bryant? What do you think of him and Michael. Jordan comparison, who is better. ”

"You almost tricked me, but I'm not going to be fooled. I don't know who is better Kobe Bryant or Jordan, I can only say Kobe. Bryant is a great player. ”

"Coach LeBron. James, how do you feel? ”

"I haven't felt it so far because the game hasn't started yet. But tonight, I'll call Spoelstra and ask for instructions on LeBron's use. ”

"Coach, what do you think of Brooke. Lopez"

On the afternoon of February 17, before the start of the 2013 NBA All-Star Weekend, Henson was patiently sitting in the media reception room, smiling and answering boring questions from reporters.

Yesterday, the All-Star Tournament ended. Henson and Becky. Harmon also went to the scene after dinner, as George was participating in this year's three-point contest. Well, since that kid lost to the Jazz in the dunk contest last year, Henson has found that he has no chance of winning in the individual competition.

And so it is, Henson has forgotten who won the three-point contest, not George anyway.

And today, the All-Star Game is about to begin. As is customary, there will be a pre-match interview before the start of the match. From the manager to the players, everyone had to answer questions from journalists.

If this was the Banker's Life Arena, Henson would have turned around and left. But as the head coach of the All-Star team, Henson can't be so willful. can only mechanically answer reporters' questions, and then try not to fall asleep in front of the camera.

"Alright, thank you, Coach Henson, the interview is over."

It wasn't until the female press officer in charge of the press conference walked in that Henson was finally relieved.

He hurriedly avoided all cameras, walked outside the gymnasium, lit a cigar, and puffed into the clouds.

Outside the Toyota Center, Henson looked up at this year's All-Star promotional poster. There is no doubt that the C position in the East is dominated by LeBron. James occupies it, and on the West side is Kobe Bryant.

23vs24, even now that Cleveland's No. 23 no longer exists, it's still the most talked-about topic.

And what about George and Paul? Well, in the star-studded All-Star Game, Paul and George don't seem to be mentioned that many times.

It's as if the Pacers' prestige suddenly disappeared in the All-Star Game. yes, is there any mistake, who is the number one in the league?

Chris. Paul wasn't smiling today, which wasn't quite the same as he was when he was in the All-Star Game the first few times. Of course, it's not because he's sitting in the same dressing room as his rivals. In the All-Star Game, all the players will put aside the regular season and enjoy the star-studded night.

But this year, Paul's mind seems to be more than just enjoyment.

"Alright guys, I don't think you want to hear me talk about tactics. Enjoy this evening that belongs to you, and I won't disturb your interest. Tonight, the stage is yours. In the locker room, Henson, as the head coach of the Eastern Stars, just said this simply.

In the All-Star Game, the head coach is never the protagonist. Moreover, Henson is not a respected coach like Popovich, and as a young coach, he has a grudge against most of the players in this dressing room.

The Heat Big Three, Anthony, Lore. Deng's group of people has suffered a lot from Henson. So you want Henson to mingle with them, and he feels uncomfortable too. So Henson simply said something casually, coped with it, and then disappeared consciously.

Disappear, it seems like the fate of the Pacers in the All-Star Game. And this, too, is Chris. The reason why Paul is not smiling today!

"Let's Welcome, LeBron ~~~~~~~ James!!!!!!"

The Eastern Stars played when LeBron. When James was introduced to the game last, the audience was in a state of flux. And Chris. Paul, he was the first to be introduced.

Don't think that NBA teams introduce players in the order of position, in fact, generally speaking, the later a player is introduced, the more important it is to the team. On the western side, Kobe Bryant was the last to play. On the eastern side, it's James. And Paul, as the championship point guard, is the first.

After the game started, the matchup between Kobe Bryant and James also attracted the attention of a large number of fans.

First, James broke through Kobe Bryant's one-handed dunk, and then Kobe Bryant turned over and made a jumper on James' head to score points.

The two superstars played with ease, and the atmosphere of the All-Star Game gradually became hot. After the first half, the major stars all performed. But only Paul and George and Henson seemed to have become transparent.

Henson found out something was wrong with Paul, the All-Star Game, everyone had a good time, and Paul's relationships in the league weren't bad. But why, is he not having fun?

In the second half, Henson got the answer!

"Welcome back, the last game, Kobe Bryant's picture of blocking LeBron, will definitely be able to become a classic in the All-Star Game! Haha, I can't wait to see who will have the last laugh today! As soon as Barkley finished speaking, the Eastern Stars scored.

But it wasn't James who scored, it was Paul, who was selected to the All-Star Game for the first time in his career. George! His teammate Chris. Paul used a board pass to assist him for an empty dunk.

"Oh my God, look at George's athleticism. But to be honest, if it weren't for this dunk, I almost forgot that there were Pacers players in today's All-Star Game. O'Neal smiled, he didn't know it yet, but the Pacers players were going to dominate this All-Star class!

After that, Paul singled Kobe Bryant on the outside! Although Kobe Bryant is in the nature of playing, the defense cannot be said to be completely absent. As a result, Paul suddenly pulled up after finding his rhythm with continuous crotch dribbling and made a jumper from beyond the three-point line!

Kobe Bryant tried hard to block, but he was still one step slower. The arc of the basketball is very high, and after flying in the air for a certain distance, it falls accurately, exploding a white "wave"!

"It's still Chris. Paul, the champion point guard is going to make a move! ”

After that, Paul was in complete control of the Eastern team's offense! The Heat Big Three? You'll have to give him a hand! It's not that Paul dominates the ball, but on the offensive end, everyone scores under his command!

Henson, who was originally sitting on the bench, gradually stood up, and that guy Chris, holding his breath!

Passing, defending, flowing feints and layups Paul began to overshadow Kobe Bryant and James and began to remind people that there were two other Pacers players on the court.

In the end, in the minutes when the All-Star Game started to be played, Paul still didn't relent!

A quick stop and a quick jump to fly Kobe Bryant's toss, and a clever pass behind the back to assist George's tomahawk slam dunk.

Paul's threading of the needle ignited the whole court, and in the end, it also allowed the East troops to defeat the West troops, drawing an end to this All-Star Game.

After the game, when David. When Stern presented the All-Star Game MVP trophy to Paul, who had 20 points and 15 assists, he himself was a little surprised. Originally, the league was arranged to give this trophy to LeBron or Kobe

Henson found out that Paul didn't smile when he borrowed the All-Star Game MVP trophy.

"Congratulations, Chris, and thank you for the amazing performance you gave to the fans." Although the result was not what Stern expected, he still had to laugh the whole time.

"It's an honour to take this trophy and to play with these great players." "I just had to pass the ball to them, everything was easy. ”

At first, Paul's answer was modest and humble. But he didn't take this MVP today to show people that I was humble.

"But I know I can't rest on my laurels. My team is on a 25-game winning streak, we're 49-4, and my teammates and I are all All-Stars! This is just a prelude, and hopefully at the end of the season, I can lift the O'Brien Cup above my head as I do now! ”

Chris. Paul, in front of all the fans around the world, gave an "ultimatum"!

The "yellow terror" that had finally dissipated suddenly spread in the Toyota Center.

Henson smiled, indeed, the All-Star MVP was just the beginning of the Pacers' reap of accolades. Are you ready to continue suffering from the Pacers in the second half of the season?

I hope you're all ready, because we're very bloodthirsty.
