The game went quickly.

It's not just a battle between Kobe Bryant and Jordan on the court.

The Eastern power forward at the head of the ditch, although he is called O'Neal Jr., is often compared to Kevin Garnett, one is a rookie in '95, the other is a rookie in '96, and he is also a high school student who directly participates in the draft. It's the same year that he has come to become an All-Star starting forward, and not only that, but the two have similar playing styles, and the low-post turnover jumper is a common hallmark of the two.

But when it comes to evaluation, Garnett's evaluation is much higher than that of O'Neal Jr., who has always been considered a low-profile version of the "wolf king". Maybe it's because there are no passionate dunks and big hats.

O'Neal Jr. was naturally not convinced, and he also tried his best to wrestle with Garnett under the basket.

Garnett may seem skinny, but he is not weak in strength at all, and can often play the center position. When it comes to inside confrontations, it's rare to see him fall behind.

Just when it was the turn of the West to attack, Garnett stuck his position to ask for the ball in the low post, and he knew that O'Neal Jr. on the opposite side was inferior to himself in size and strength, and eating alone in the low post was the best choice.

Sure enough, without much feint, Garnett was superior in height, reach, and strength, and easily hit the shot on O'Neal Jr.'s head.

In addition to the power forwards, Maddy and Iverson are even competing on the same team, as the two hottest new generation guards in the East, scoring champions, first-timers, All-stars, the two of them have been competing in various honor lists.

Maddie hit a pull-up and Iverson hit a three-pointer in the next round. The two sides are also reluctant to give in to each other.

As is the tradition of the All-Star Game, the MVP is generally awarded to the person with the most points on the winning team. So far, the highest scorer was Kobe Bryant of the Western team with 33 points, followed by Garnett's 25 points in the West. Both of these men still have a chance to compete for the final MVP.

As for the sharks, because Yao Ming is quite adaptable, it is difficult to make a difference after his playing time is divided by half.

The rest of Deng was dumbfounded, and he was the one who applied for the most dismissal in the whole game, and he asked Popovich, the coach of the Western All-Star Team, to be removed from the game every time he took a timeout. Now he is innocently watching from below with big cute eyes, as if the game has nothing to do with him.

Hu Qingniu sat not far from the Western All-Star bench and beckoned to Deng Du from afar, but the other party did not respond. Hu Qingniu was immediately embarrassed, and the atmosphere became very awkward.

"Ahh Ha ha! “

Hu Qingniu scolded in his heart, and explained to the three stunned Qing who were puzzled beside him: "Tim Duncan's eyesight is not good, you look at his two eyes carefully, and there is no light at all. You guessed it, he's going to need glasses. “

This is just a small episode, for the little abacus in the heart of the old man Popovich, Hu Qingniu knows it at a glance. It is obvious that the star players of the competition will play more, and their own stars will arrange rest. For this stubborn and not pedantic old man, the All-Star Game would have been a good idea to let the audience see the stars of other teams.

The Eastern Conference All-Stars gradient is also clear, with Michael Jordan's 29 points leading for the time being, and Maddie and Iverson both in their early 20s. The idea of two young guards grabbing power for a while is not ruled out, but the reality is that everyone will respect the old-timers and let Jordan win this last honor if possible.

The game has long since lost the wandering rhythm of the first three quarters, and the scenes of many stars fighting with all their might are very good-looking.

The tight score continued until the final minute, with the East team relying on a cold-blooded three-pointer from Paul Pierce in the bottom left corner to temporarily take a one-point lead. Truth has played a key role in his career, even in his twilight years with the Nets and Wizards.

With just over 30 seconds left, Popovich handed in a rare All-Star game timeout, the first time he had done so, even for his famously stern side. With just one point behind and time running out, Popovich felt like he had to do his job as a coach.

Of course, the timeout was not called for the purpose of setting up tactics, Popovich just asked who was going to shoot this ball later, so that everyone had a number in their hearts and made corresponding cooperation.

Bryant took on the role without giving up, and he meant that his teammates pulled away as much as possible and gave him a chance to go heads-up at the top of the arc.

The pause was boring for the audience, and the curious baby Bosh asked Hu Qingniu, "Doctor, who do you think will shoot this ball, will it be Kevin?" “

Hu Qingniu looked at him with an expression of "Okay, you have indeed proved that you are a very competent KG fan." But come on, no matter who can guess at this time, it will definitely be Kobe Bryant's shot later!"

"That's why the opponent knows. Won't the Western troops break the convention of thinking and let KG vote. This is a very common practice in programming, thinking outside the box and pushing out the framework from the desired effect. Bosh retorted with an oath.

"Well, you win. Say whatever you say. Waving his hand helplessly, Hu Qingniu quickly stopped the topic.

Kobe Bryant even covered himself for half of the court, and after half of the court, he stood at the top arc, commanding his teammates, and pressed the time by the way.

"In the past, in the past! Yes, big brother, just stand by and watch my performance. “

The key goal, Jordan's momentum is completely different, the whole person is firmly rooted in the top arc, and Kobe's figure is reflected in his eyes.

Bryant spread his feet parallel to his shoulders, bent slightly, and placed the ball on the right back of his body with both hands.

This is the most commonly used triple threat move on the outside.

Bryant tried to manipulate the position of the ball with both hands in order to trick Jordan. But Jordan was unmoved, his eyes stared directly at him, and his whole body seemed to be still.

It was too difficult, Kobe Bryant gritted his teeth and had to harden it.

He took a sharp step to the right and slammed to the ground, the floor popping.

As soon as Jordan's left foot moved out, he found that something was wrong, Kobe Bryant's step, although the movement was large, but the step was very small.

Sure enough, this step was just a false move, and with the power of the rebound, Kobe Bryant retracted his right foot with lightning speed.

At the same time, the right hand jerked the ball to the left and smashed it into the left route. For the sake of this very small vacancy that was not easy to come out, this is a desperate bet.

But at the critical moment, Jordan stretched out his leg to block, although his body had not yet twisted from the impact to the left, he could still subconsciously make the same reaction as the goalkeeper saved.

Bryant only took one step forward before being stopped, and there was no other way.

Looking at the basket not far away, this is the crucial shot!

Bryant took a big breath and jumped up, and with a sense of paranoia, he threw the ball hard.

The basketball glides through the air with little to no spin. It can be seen that the power of the shooter is almost to smash the ball out.

"This is not the usual arc of Kobe's shot," Hu Qingniu whispered to himself.

"Bell!"

The ball hit the inside of the basket hard, but because there was no arc and no spin, the ball flew out again. It happened to be on the head of Big Ben, with Big Ben's ability to average 15 rebounds per game, this rebounding ball is probably stable.

Just as the eastern players were breathing a sigh of relief, a pair of big yellow hands suddenly reached out from the crowd and plucked the ball above everyone's heads.

Yao Ming! Of course, Yao Ming is the only one with yellow skin on the field, and he is now playing on the court full of details that Hu Qingniu said. So as soon as the ball was shot just now, he judged that the ball could not go in, and he was ready to judge the landing point early to compete for the rebound.

The heart that the eastern team member had just put in his stomach mentioned his throat again. At this time, the 24 seconds were re-timed, but there were less than 5 seconds left in the race.

At this time, Yao Ming's instinctive reaction was to ask the referee for a timeout. However, he suddenly saw the penalty line on his feet, a position he has been very familiar with lately. There is an impulse quietly burning in my heart, who doesn't want to be a hero, who doesn't want to be a master.

Hard-headed, Yao Ming ignored Kobe's jumping and jumping on the outside to ask for the ball, pouted his buttocks, and Daben didn't move at all.

Yao Ming didn't stop, put the ball down and picked it up, and at the same time opened his body, turning with his left foot as the axis to get to more positions.

Yao Ming cautiously held the ball in his right hand.

"Wow, what is this?! I've seen this before! Yao has mastered it. Bosh yelled excitedly.

Hu Qingniu's indifferent vision for the whole game was also concentrated, can Yao Ming use this trick on the court with just one day of practice, and he is worthy of being a basketball genius who is only once in a hundred years in China.

Yao Ming's movements were not very fast, but everyone didn't expect him to make a move, and their attention was still on Kobe.

This gave Yao Ming enough time and space to complete this unskilled move.

The shoulders were hard against Daben's strong muscles, and Yao Ming's body was bounced away in an instant, but the purpose of separating the opponent had been achieved.

Side-to-side basket, jump with the left foot, stretch up with the right hand and hold the ball in one hand, and bend the ball horizontally with the left arm to protect the ball, and when the highest point is reached, use the arms, wrists and fingers to shoot softly. Yao Ming silently recalled every point and completed each point.

At this time, Yao Ming's entire posture had already shocked everyone.

Is this a heavenly hook? SkyHook?

It's been a long time since I've seen this stunt, and no one can learn this stunt except a magician, which requires a very soft touch and excellent coordination.

Now a big foreign man who has traveled across the ocean has re-demonstrated this long-lost stunt on the NBA court, in front of the world, in such a crucial shot.

The ball is still flying in the air, and Yao Ming still maintains this classic shooting posture. This will be another classic moment in the long history of the NBA, which is also very consistent with the theme of Jordan's last All-Star, inheritance!

Let the ball fly a little longer, and the photographers are frantic to capture as many moments as they can.

The basketball had no other target in the air and flew straight towards the center of the basket.

Arcs, distances, angles, nothing wrong!

"Huh!"

Basketball in the bag!
