Chapter 252
Despite Kenyon Martin's beastly bounce and explosiveness, Nowitzki was unfazed, jumping on one foot, leaning back slightly, and holding his hands aloft.
It's not pretty, no! It should be possible to call it ugly.
But it was this action that greatly protected Nowitzki's shot, and Kenyon Martin jumped very high, but he didn't touch the basketball by a fraction of a second.
This is Nowitzki's famous stunt: Golden Rooster Independence.
At this moment, Nowitzki is not a king, and this action is not practiced much, revealing a stiff feeling.
But from this shot, Ye Feng already felt that there was no solution.
The 213-centimeter Novis Fund Chicken independent, step-back jumper, who can block it?
Now he is not skilled enough, but when Nowitzki can have it at his fingertips, it will be time for him to achieve a lot.
Perhaps Nowitzki's achievements, talents, and honors will never be as good as Duncan's, but Nowitzki has pioneered a new style of power forward play, and he will always be remembered by fans.
It's like the legendary center Divac who pioneered the play-center style of the organization.
Swish!
The ball went into the basket and the West scored two more points.
22:15。
O'Neal made room for Nowitzki, Peja, and Ray Allen, the veteran Cassel could run the ball, and the Western team's bench lineup was powerful.
The lineup of super centers with a group of shooters is the most perfect lineup in the imagination of many fans, and it is also the lineup that many coaches dream of.
Later, the Magic, young Howard was able to reach the Finals with a few shooters, which is the best proof of this.
On the other hand, in the East Army, O'Neal Jr., Martin, Maddie, James and Kidd, these five people are extremely talented, and the "old demon" Kidd can easily integrate everyone and turn it into a well-trained team.
But after fighting, the fans still found that the Western troops were full of points difference, and the lead was getting bigger and bigger.
In the final minutes of the first quarter, West Force head coach Saunders and East Force head coach Carlisle continued to make changes.
Brad Miller, Kirilenko, Pierce, Artest, and "The Bearded" Davis all took turns to perform to meet the fans' demands.
This concludes the first session.
At 34:26, the western troops established an eight-point lead, and the eastern troops were in a bad situation.
In fact, everyone knows that the West is strong and the East is weak, and the NBA League has maintained such a situation for many years, and it cannot be changed all at once.
The lineup of the western team is obviously better than the eastern troops, especially on the inside, which is completely crushing, so it is natural for the western troops to take the lead.
However, strong strength does not mean that you will win, and weak strength does not mean that you will definitely lose.
What's the point if the end is already doomed?
There is no weak team in the NBA, and the bottom one can also beat the first and a miracle happens, which is the interesting thing about the NBA.
Before the second quarter, East Force coach Rick Carlisle gathered his coaching staff for a heated discussion and a plan to turn the tables around.
Rick Carlisle was born as a player, but he has the temperament of an academic coach, gentle, tactically oriented, respectful of players, like a gentleman.
Carlisle was only 45 years old in 2004, and this was definitely a young coach, and this was his third season as a head coach in charge of the NBA.
At this time, he also had thick hair, similar to Hollywood actor Jim Carrey, very handsome.
But don't underestimate him because of his short tenure in charge, Coach Carlisle is definitely a legend.
In the 2001-2002 season, his first season in charge, he led the Pistons to a 50-32 record and was named Coach of the Year. Winning this award in the first season is absolutely unprecedented, and it is rare for future generations to come.
In the 2002-2003 season, he once again led the Pistons to a 50-32 record, with a level of stability comparable to Duncan among players.
The current Pistons defense is the best in the league, and many people think that Larry Brown is a defensive master, but anyone with a discerning eye knows that Larry Brown just took over the wealth left by Carlisle, and the Pistons' defensive system and spirit and most of the main players were brought back by Carlisle.
In the 2003-2004 season, Carlisle coached the Pacers, who are now the best team in the league, is there anything else to explain?
And Ye Feng knows more than others, in the 2010-2011 season, Carlisle led the single-core Mavericks to win the NBA championship, which is a championship coach.
So in the face of this coach, Ye Feng had both respect and worry in his heart.
Honoring Carlisle's abilities.
Concern was naturally Carlisle's choice.
Carlisle is the head coach who started with defense, and in the Eastern Army, there are four people who can play the No. 1 position, Iverson, Ye Feng, Kidd, and the bearded Davis, and it is obvious that Kidd is the most suitable choice.
Relatively speaking, Iverson has defensive flaws, not to mention, the bearded personality is definitely unacceptable to the academy coach, and only the perfect Kidd will be Carlisle's first choice.
As for Ye Feng himself, although he is a good player, he is far worse than these three people.
What Ye Feng was worried about was that Carlisle probably wouldn't give himself too many chances.
As the game was about to begin, Carlisle read the five-man roster that would start the second quarter: Ben Wallace, O'Neal Jr., Maddy, Carter, and Ye Feng......
Ye Feng was stunned, and the players of the other eastern teams were also stunned.
Carlisle actually put Ye Feng in front of Kidd, Iverson, and Beard, which is incredible.
Ye Feng may be good, but how can he compare to these three people?
But Carlisle was smiling and unfazed by the whispers of the players, and it was clear that the decision had been made.
Ye Feng settled down and prepared to play.
But at this moment, one arm grabbed Ye Feng, it was the head coach Carlisle.
"Do you know why I chose you?"
Without waiting for Ye Feng to answer, Carlisle continued: "You should know that I don't like players who suffer defensive losses, Iverson excludes. Now chasing points, the old Kidd is more suitable to maintain the situation, lack of momentum, and exclude. Davis...... Hehe, exclude. ”
"But don't be too happy, if you don't behave well, I'll let you roll back to the bench, no matter how popular you are and who supports you."
"Seize this opportunity, young man!"
Ye Feng was awe-inspiring, Carlisle chose himself only because he thought he was more suitable for the current situation, which was his good knowledge.
But if you don't perform well and waste this opportunity, you just don't compete, and no one will be to blame at that time.
Thinking of this, Ye Feng silently clenched his fists.
On the other side, the Western troops also walked into the court, and the lineup did not change, and it was still the starting five: Yao Ming, Duncan, Garnett, Kobe, and Francis.
As the dominant side, they don't have to change first, and maintaining the situation is the best way to do it.
