Chapter 351: Post-Game Draw
"Tracy! Well done! β
When Maddie left the field, Qiao Hai gave Maddie a big hug.
Maddie was also excited: "Thank you, Boss!" β
In the end, Maddy's stats were fixed at 34 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 steals.
At the end of the game, the overall score was 142-129, and the Western team won by 13 points.
Iverson was the game-high scorer, with 36 points, 5 assists and 1 steal, but because of the loss, Iverson could not lift the MVP trophy.
In addition to Iverson, the top scorer in the East was Vince Carter, who scored 27 points, plus four rebounds, two assists and one steal.
Deacon Berg Mutombo had 12 points, 10 rebounds and two blocks.
Ray Allen had 15 points and five rebounds, Stephen Marbury had 14 points, three rebounds and six assists, and none of the other players scored in double figures.
On the West side, Maddy's 34 points are the highest in the West.
followed by Kobe Bryant with 25 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists, Jason Kidd also got 17 points, 6 rebounds and 11 assists, starting Duncan also got 23 points, 10 rebounds and 2 blocks, and David Robinson on the bench played almost the whole second half, also had 10 points and 8 rebounds.
In this All-Star Game, Qiao Hai was ruthless and the Spurs Twin Towers were happy, perhaps Popovich was cursing Qiao Hai fiercely at this time.
In addition, Dirk Nowitzki had 11 points and 4 rebounds, and Patrick Ewing also had 10 points, 11 rebounds, 1 steal and 2 blocks.
A total of 7 people in the Western Army scored double-doubles, there are so many superstars in the Western Army, each of them has the ability to beat a team, and Qiao Hai was gathered to run a game's tactics, and Qiao Hai was also ruthless.
But in the end, in the award ceremony, there was nothing to do with Qiao Hai.
Despite this, Qiao Hai is still nervous, and he is nervous for Maddie.
Who is the final MVP? Maddie?
It is undeniable that Maddie has the greatest chance, and other players are not without opportunities, such as Jason Kidd, who got 17 points, 6 rebounds and 11 assists, and Duncan, who got 23 points, 10 rebounds and 2 blocks.
While Duncan and Kidd don't score much, they are well-rounded and efficient.
Therefore, until the end, no one can say for sure where this MVP trophy will be.
β¦β¦
The players began to return to the center of the field, whether it was the winning West team or the losing East team, and everyone was present for the final award session.
David Stern also stood in the center of the court, with the All-Star MVP trophy next to him, and the league's royal host standing next to him.
Everyone knows that the award ceremony is about to begin.
After the lengthy opening remarks of "Ladies and gentlemen...... the presenter finally announced: "The player who won the MVP of the 2001 All-Star Weekend isβ"
The voice was dragged out, but the official host of the NBA obviously did not have Hong Tao's skills, and he directly called out a name: "Tracy from the Vancouver Grizzlies!" Mcgrady! β
"Congratulations Maddie!"
So, in the middle of the crowd, Maddie walked out.
It wasn't a surprising result, so everyone was smiling and clapping their hands vigorously as David Stern handed the trophy to Maddie, who then held it aloft.
The MCI Center was full of cheers!
"The 2001 All-Star Weekend came to an end, Steve Francis got the MVP of the rookie game, Damon Jones was the three-point king, Desmond Mason was the dunk king, and Tracy McGrady won the All-Star MVP after missing out on the regular season MVP early!"
β¦β¦
There were press conferences after the All-Star Game, but compared to other games, there were too few reporters for the All-Star Game, because most of the reporters were scattered to interview the star players.
No way, there are too many star players, and journalists also need to make trade-offs so that they can get more press materials.
It is precisely because of this that after the game, Qiao Hai's job was easy, and he only answered five questions.
The first question was posed by the Washington Post, a local media outlet in Washington: "Mr. Johi, is there anything you would like to say about your first All-Star trip?" β
"I'm happy, excited, and honored at the same time." Qiao Hai smiled and said a clichΓ©, still a long paragraph: "I am honored to be able to get this opportunity, all the players who participated in the All-Star Weekend are good players, we played a perfect game, I am excited and excited for all the players in this game......"
Then, in the second question, the Hoop Sports reporter asked, "What do you think of Maddie winning the All-Star MVP?" β
"Maddie is a good player, this MVP trophy is what he deserves, of course, this does not mean that other players don't deserve this trophy, I personally think that this MVP trophy belongs to everyone, it was all of us who worked together to give a very good All-Star Game, of course, Maddie is in the best form, he is the best of all."
Third question: "Kobe Bryant and Maddy both played under your banner, do you have any different opinions about these two players?" β
Regarding the comparison between Maddie and Kobe, Qiao Hai has said it countless times, but the media reporters continue to ask without tiring.
Qiao Hai could only take the trouble to continue to answer: "Kobe Bryant is a good player, Maddie is also a good player, they have both won championships, but in terms of style, the two are very different, as for the difference, I have repeated it many times, I don't want to repeat it, you can look through my previous interview records, and you will get the answer soon." β
The fourth question: "After winning this battle between the East and the West, what do you think is the reason for the victory of the Western Army?" β
Faced with this obviously provocative question, Qiao Hai's answer was suddenly much simpler: "State." β
"Status?"
"Yes, the form, because the West Force was in better shape, so we won the game."
Qiao Hai just fooled this question over.
If Qiao Hai really wanted to tell the truth, he would say: "Because the strength of the western team is stronger than that of the eastern army!" β
This is an indisputable fact, but Qiao Hai will not say this, because this will be an opportunity for reporters to find an opportunity to provoke a war of words, and then Qiao Hai will offend a group of people.
One last question: "Evaluate Iverson, the top scorer in the game?" β
For Iverson, it is indeed necessary to evaluate that Iverson's performance in this game should be the best in the game, scoring 15 points in a row in the final quarter, although Maddie overpowered Iverson, but it is undeniable that without Iverson, the East Force will be blown up by the West Army.
For Iverson, Qiao Hai's evaluation has always been very high: "Allen is a strong scorer, if he is allowed to score, he can beat a team by himself, and in the current league, he should be a superstar in the top five pure strength!" β
In fact, there is another question, a reporter asked: "Can you tell us about the other four superstars in the top five?" β
Regarding this question, which would also offend a large group of players, Qiao Hai waved his hand and left directly.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
After playing this All-Star Game, Qiao Hai received the reward of Special Mission One.
1 dynasty point, and 20 victory points.
With the little dynasty point he just got, Qiao Hai immediately conducted a lottery.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host and get a trading card! β
"Trading Cards: When activated, make an impossible trade a success!"
"Limit: The host needs to submit the transaction to the system interface, and the system interface will give a success rate score of more than 50% before the transaction card can be successfully activated!"
