In regular time, the East and West were tied, and the game went into extra time.

The inertia of history is strong, the first overtime starts, Qiao Hai knows that this game is still going to be scripted.

But Han Xue was puzzled: "Why is Da Yao the starter, but he has so little playing time?" Did this Greg Popovich discriminate against him? ”

Qiao Hai shook his head: "No, it's Da Yao's own problem." ”

"Da Yao's own problem?"

"Da Yao's performance didn't let go, he was too restrained, if he was more active, this old guy Greg would definitely give him a chance."

Johai helped Popovich explain: "The All-Star is a game, but it's more like a show, and only the stars who can cheer the fans in the stadium get more playing time." ”

"So, Da Yao's performance can't help him get more playing time."

"Isn't that Tim Duncan also quite boring, why does he have so much playing time?"

"It's different, Tim Duncan is sullen, but at least, he plays the ball with a lot of energy."

"Does that mean Da Yao needs to change some of his style? A little more active, a little more energetic? Han Xue asked again.

Qiao Hai still shook his head: "No need, his style is very good and pragmatic." ”

……

At the end of overtime, Michael Jordan faced Sean Marion's tight defense, starting, emergency stopping, and backward jumpers!

Basketball goes to the net!

The Eastern Stars led the Western Stars by two points at 138-136, and with five seconds left before the end of the game, Phillips Arena was already cheering wildly.

Everyone thought that Michael Jordan would take away the victory with a quasi-shut-out and end the fight with a great individual performance once again.

Then lift the league's special All-Star MVP trophy.

But obviously, there were still 5 seconds left before the end of the game, and the Western Army still had the last chance to attack, and when everyone stood up and cheered, Qiao Hai was very calm.

Then, the West team sent the ball to Kobe, who took only three seconds to bring the ball to the front court, and then faced Jermaine O'Neal's defense.

In fact, at this time, Kobe Bryant was already walking according to the script, but the Western troops still had time to attack, and no matter what, they had to finish the last few seconds.

Therefore, Kobe Bryant rushed to the front court with the ball and made a strong shot from outside the three-point line.

On the sidelines of the Phillips Arena, fans were already standing up, ready to cheer for Michael Jordan.

Beep beep!

The abrupt whistle sounded in the huge Phillips Arena, and everyone was shocked, and the scene was amazed.

"The referee blew the whistle! Jermaine O'Neal fouled! Three-point foul! ”

"Kobe Bryant has a chance to use the free throw to kill the game!"

So, the script developed by the alliance changed in this way.

"Why did Kobe Bryant shoot that ball!?"

"Is Jermaine O'Neal stupid? Why did he foul? ”

"It's over! It's all over! ”

“……”

Bryant walked to the free throw line, and on the first free throw, he hit it with precision.

But before he made his second free throw, Kobe Bryant and his teammates high-fived, and Steve Francis seemed to say something.

"What is he talking about?" Han Xue asked.

"What else can I say, it must be to let Kobe Bryant release as much water as possible."

As soon as Qiao Hai's words fell, there was a bang, and Kobe's second free throw was not scored!

"The second penalty is not in! The opportunity for the Eastern Forces has appeared again! ”

But in the third free throw, Kobe Bryant still scored accurately.

"Three free throws and two hits, the game is going to go to the second overtime......"

Qiao Hai sat back down, and the second overtime began, and the game had completely deviated from the original script of the league.

For Michael Jordan, after one overtime, his fitness dropped sharply, and the second overtime was already out of power.

Jermaine O'Neal, who made a mistake, scored as hard as he could, but here in the Western Army, Kevin Garnett scored seven points and scored nine points alone.

At the end of the second overtime, the commentator shouted like a mournful examiner: "The game is over, and the Western Army won the game with a score of 155:145!" ”

There is also a sentence that the commentator is reluctant to say: "The Western Force won, which means that Michael Jordan will not be able to lift that AMVP trophy again......"

At the end of the game, the stats showed that Kevin Garnett scored a game-high 37 points, along with nine rebounds, three assists, five steals and one block.

In the end, Kevin Garnett lifted the All-Star MVP trophy.

When the league unveiled the trophy, all the fans in the stadium opened their mouths wide.

"Obviously, this trophy is the league's custom All-Star MVP trophy for Michael Jordan, it's huge, half the height of Kevin Garnett, and this trophy is more like an NBA Lifetime Achievement Award."

……

Kevin Garnett lifted the huge trophy slightly in embarrassment, and at this time, on the Hoop forum, almost all the fans were shouting about Kobe Bryant and Jermaine O'Neal.

"One brainkid made a last-minute three-pointer, and the other handsomely gave a foul and then ruined Michael Jordan's All-Star farewell show."

"Seeing that Michael was about to end the game with a quasi-final shot, Kobe Bryant caused a foul on Jermaine O'Neal, ruining Michael's perfect solo performance."

“……”

……

Outside the door of the Phillips Arena, Qiao Hai took Han Xue and prepared to leave, but he was stopped by CCTV reporters again, and it was still Director Zhang who interviewed Qiao Hai.

Qiao Hai summed up the game: "Actually, judging from the trophy, the league should have decided the victory of the Eastern team, but perhaps it was Jordan's statement before the game, and in this game, all the players in the Western Army were very serious. ”

"Sean Marion defended Michael Jordan for a whole game, and the shooting rate of Jordan was miserable, and then, Kobe Bryant shot a three-point shot that was almost certain to not score, but Jermaine O'Neal gave a foul, and Kobe Bryant made two free throws out of three, leaving the game in suspense."

"But in the end, it was Kevin Garnett, who scored 9 points in the second overtime, and the already weak Eastern Conference All-Star ......"

The public opinion circles are overwhelmingly spraying Kobe Bryant and Jermaine O'Neal, and Qiao Hai believes that the league wants to follow the script and does not succeed, and everyone is responsible.

Kobe Bryant and Jermaine O'Neal were just behind the blame, but the fruits of the final victory were taken away by Kevin Garnett.

Moreover, the strength of the west and the weakness of the east is also a reason why the alliance has not succeeded in following the script.

No way, the All-Stars in the West are too strong, and the East is a lot worse, at the critical moment, there are no players in the East who can stand up, but there are a bunch of stars lining up in the West waiting to stand up.

A center like Da Yao, who averages 16+10+2+2 per game, is put to the west as a starter, and a bunch of people question it, but if it is put in the east, the doubts will disappear completely.
