Chapter 184: MVP

At the last moment, the Eastern Army finally equalized the score, and at this time the fat man and Kobe Bryant were not calm. With 28 points each, they are strong contenders for the MVP, and they are both playing at home, and neither of them wants to give up this MVP to their teammates. But now the lead of the Western team is gone, and it is difficult to even guarantee a victory, let alone an MVP.

It couldn't be helped, even the fat man and Zako had to pinch the opponent in a defense, and the effect was not bad, and Hill was forced to pass the ball back to Kidd.

Kidd's brain spun quickly, he didn't stop when he caught the ball, and with a struck pass, he penetrated the Western Conference defense and came in front of Maddie.

Garnett stretched out his long arms and wanted to step forward to interfere with the shot, but Maddie didn't adjust at all, and his signature dry pull rose into the air like a god of war, and all eyes were focused on the small orange basketball in his hand.

The shot was made, the ball speed was fast, the arc was very high, it should be Garnett's long arm interference that had an effect, and Maddie adjusted the arc of the shot.

The basketball flew straight up, as if it were heading towards the ceiling.

"That's big enough arc."

Hu Qingniu crossed his arms and stood on the sidelines while muttering to himself. Today he is wearing a newly bought purple suit, and he is eye-catching on the sidelines, and it is estimated that no one will call him a male god who does not take a bath today.

It was probably the longest shot Hu Qingniu had ever seen, and the basketball even flew out of the camera's tracking range. In the end, it fell straight down again.

"Huh!"

Hey, the ball went in.

Hu Qingniu smiled, this ball actually depends on luck, this arc is completely unreasonable, but it is indeed Maddie's good hand, and the usual shooting training has played a role.

The Eastern Side went from 10 points down to a tie and are now 2 points ahead. After Maddie scored the goal, he only left the Western troops with a chance to attack.

The Western Force called a timeout, and now the situation is tense, and whoever wins will have a chance to get the MVP.

And the East is only 2 points ahead, and if the West shoots three points, it will probably be a counter-attack, of course, it is generally better to have two points.

But superstars at critical moments are often arrogant and unreasonable, Hu Qingniu has seen many three-point kills from teams that are two points behind, Wei Shao, Curry, these are all stars who are horizontal enough.

And now there happens to be a Kobe Bryant in the Western Army, who is so desperate that no one can beat him. Hu Qingniu didn't dare to be careless, and he arranged for Maddy, who had the best defense, to limit Kobe.

The referee blows the whistle, the timeout ends, and the game resumes.

The clock was running out as Bryant held the ball and watched at the top arc.

Hu Qingniu shouted.

"Kobe, don't pretend, vote, I know you want to vote."

At this time, with a wave of his hand, the fat man slipped Boshti behind him, strode under the basket, and announced that a large area under the basket was the territory of the Shaq Kingdom. If the ball comes in at this time, it is an easy dunk.

But Kobe Bryant is Kobe, and Kobe is still Kobe. It's good to love him, it's good to hate him, Kobe Bryant is very Kobe at this time.

Stubborn, he ignored it all, and he took a shot against the defense himself, but he lacked a bit of luck and the ball jumped out of the basket.

The game was over, and the Eastern Army was victorious.

Hu Qingniu laughed heartily, not knowing if it was because he saw the classic Kobe-style shooting, or because the Eastern Army won the game.

Bryant walked back to the locker room alone for fear of seeing the disappointed eyes of the fans. Yes, the black mamba also has something to be afraid of, people who seem to be too tough to bend, but in fact they also have the weakest things in their hearts. Bryant needs supporters, he naturally loves the spotlight, but tonight the spotlight didn't leave him last.

Bryant was walking alone, but suddenly someone came over and hugged his shoulder and walked with him.

When I turned my head, it was Doctor Coach.

"It's okay, Kobe, you're doing a great job. Maybe someone will blame you for messing everything up after the game, but I know no one in the world would dare to shoot that damn shot but you. Do you know the Mamba, the most vicious snake, dares to show his fangs to any opponent, even if it is dozens of times his opponent. This shot, I call him the Mamba spirit. ”

The more Kobe Bryant listened, the brighter his eyes became, and when he heard the Mamba spirit, his heart was very excited. The title felt familiar to him, as if he was born to belong to him - the Mamba spirit.

Hu Qingniu knows that according to history, after this season, when Kobe Bryant began to fly solo, Nike designed this promotion image for Kobe. It was only then that the Black Mamba began to be called. Now Hu Qingniu took it out in advance, but he didn't want to see Kobe Bryant fall into a situation of doubting himself because he missed the key shot.

Mamba spirit, Kobe Bryant seemed to figure it all out in an instant, and he generously went to the press conference without sneaking back to the locker room. According to Hu Qingniu's description, he restated what the Mamba spirit is, and uttered that famous saying.

"I'd rather make 0 out of 30 than 0 out of 9. 0-of-9 means you've been beaten by yourself, you've lost all confidence and you can't continue playing. The only explanation is that you have lost faith in yourself. ”

This is the quality of the court that Hu Qingniu admires the most, the paranoid fanaticism.

Hu Qingniu believes that anyone with this trait can succeed on the field, greatness and paranoia are like twin brothers, inseparable, Jordan is like this, Kobe Bryant is even more so.

Kobe Bryant lost the MVP of the All-Star Game at home, but he gained the Mamba spirit, obviously gained more than he lost, and he was very happy.

The most unlucky is the fat man, who obviously had a chance, but in the end he lost the MVP. However, the fat man's honor is not bad, and he has a wide heart and a fat body, he is here to have fun in the All-Star Game, and he doesn't take it to heart, because judging from the results, it is not Kobe who won the MVP anyway, and all of this is Kobe Bryant's mess up.

It's a little happy to think of this, that's right, the fat man is such a careful eye, and the All-Star MVP can't compare to making Kobe Bryant ugly once.

In the end, the Eastern Force won, but the MVP is still difficult to choose.

Because Hu Qingniu gave each player a lot of playing time, the statistics of the members of the Eastern Army were almost the same.

The best stat was Wade with 24 points, but Wade didn't participate in the final six minutes of the chase score. It was followed by Bosh with 18 points, but Maddie also scored 16 points and made a key shot.

It can be seen that even the alliance is very difficult, and it has been discussed on the spot for a long time, but the result has been delayed.

Just when the fans were waiting impatiently and someone began to leave the field, Aunt Si's voice rang out.

"In 2004, Los Angeles All-Star Weekend, the Most Valuable Player Award, today's Star of Stars is...... Come from...... East Coast ...... Tracy McGrady of the Orlando Magic. ”

Watching Aunt Si pour beans and read word by word, Hu Qingniu really wanted to go over and choke his neck. Let him know how the duck's voice is made.

However, in the end, Maddie won the MVP, and Hu Qingniu himself was a little surprised, because although Maddie was selected to the All-Star team 7 times, he originally did not have an MVP for the All-Star Game.

The only 2006 All-Star Game, Hu Qingniu remembers very well, the All-Star Game held in Houston and hosted by the Toyota Center.

As Maddie's friend, Kobe Bryant rarely restrained himself, only 11 shots in the game, and directly assisted Maddie 4 times. Maddie didn't disappoint either, scoring 36 points in the game, and the Western team led by 17 points at halftime.

However, the Western Army, which still led by a large 21 points in the third quarter, was led by LBJ to play a big comeback in the East for the rest of the game. That's right, the All-Star scored 21 points in the last quarter to make a big comeback, and there was no other semicolon.

In addition to James's true bull break, this reversal is also due to the lack of unity in the Western Army. The defense of the Western team was like a piece of paper, and the rotten notes were randomly highlighted.

At the last moment of the game, Maddie still got the opportunity to make a comeback but missed, and then Kobe Bryant picked up the basketball and got rid of it. The MVP in hand flew, which is also a regrettable thing in Maddie's career.
