Chapter 344: All-Star Game
"Meng, long time no see." Before the start of the game, Meng Xu, who was waiting for the game in the players' tunnel, suddenly felt someone tap him on the shoulder, and turned his head to see that it was Kobe Bryant.
"Be good today." After hugging Kobe, Meng Xu whispered in Kobe's ear. Kobe Bryant is a native of Philadelphia, and this year's All-Star Game is held in Philadelphia, so in line with the principle of the sedan chair being carried by everyone, a group of Western All-Stars are also ready to assist Kobe Bryant today, hoping that Kobe can win today's All-Star MVP, and it is good to have a good time in front of the people in his hometown.
"That's nature." After hearing Meng Xu say this, Kobe Bryant was a little embarrassed, although Kobe Bryant is already recognized as a superstar, but Kobe Bryant has no personal honors other than the best team, last season he finally defeated the biggest enemy Spurs and won the championship, but FMVP is still O'Neal's, so in this year's All-Star Game, Kobe Bryant is also determined to win the All-Star MVP, and the bigwigs in the West also expressed their full support for themselves.
"Meng, why do I think your mood is a little low?" After separating from Meng Xu, Kobe Bryant found that Meng Xu's expression was a little unnatural. Although the All-Star Game has not yet started, it is already certain that the biggest winner of this All-Star Game is none other than Meng Xu, who won the All-Star Three-Point Contest with a record score, and after the All-Star Slam Dunk Contest champion, Meng Xu became the first player in NBA history to be crowned the 3-point king and dunk king in the All-Star Game, and he was also on the same All-Star game. made today's All-Star Game a little overshadowed, and Kobe Bryant was a little jealous of him.
"Maybe I slept too late yesterday." Meng Xu casually made an excuse and wanted to prevaricate the past. Just as the Western All-Stars support Kobe, as the host, almost all the Eastern All-Stars also support Iverson to win today's All-Star MVP, and Iverson In order to gain everyone's support, from the day Meng Xu arrived, the Eastern All-Stars spent at the largest entertainment center in Philadelphia for 3 consecutive days, all of which were invited by Iverson. The mouth of eating people is soft, and Meng Xu also expressed his support for Iverson at the party, but when he thought of the missed MVP point, Meng Xu felt a pain in his flesh.
There is another thing that makes Meng Xu very unhappy, that is, Meng Xu's position in today's game, because Meng Xu is a forward, he was selected as this year's Eastern All-Star starter, and at the same time, due to Carter's absence due to injury, Kidd replaced his starting position, several All-Star starters in the East, Mutombo, Meng Xu, Jordan, Iverson, Kidd, Meng Xu's height is second only to Mutombo, so in today's game, the head coach arranged Meng Xu to play the big forward, you must know that the starting power forward in the West is Duncan, Even if the two Meng Xu are tied together, in the position of the power forward, they are all wantonly abused by Duncan, and with Meng Xu's understanding of Duncan, this guy will use all kinds of means to torture him when he encounters a player he is interested in, and he also uses it to help him grow, and in today's game, no one can guarantee that Duncan will use these means on himself. In order not to be abused by Duncan today, he won the All-Star Slam Dunk Contest yesterday, and the two milestone rewards obtained by the 3 consecutive All-Star 3-point contests, a total of 20 attribute points, and before he was hot, he was used by Meng Xu 15 points and increased his strength attribute to 100, originally Meng Xu planned to fill up the shooting attribute as soon as possible, but now it seems that it will be postponed again.
At 8 p.m. on February 10, 2002, the Philadelphia 76ers' home stadium was already full, as almost the most popular superstar in the entire league, today's All-Star Game is undoubtedly a feast for all fans who pay attention to basketball and the NBA, especially under the premise of the unprecedented success of yesterday's All-Star 3-point Contest and All-Star Slam Dunk Contest, today's All-Star Game has attracted countless attention.
Since this year's All-Star is held in the East, for the Eastern All-Stars, today's game can also be regarded as the home court, especially Iverson, this is his home field, so when Iverson, as the starter of the Eastern All-Stars, was the first to play, the atmosphere in the center of the entire First League was instantly bursting, and it seemed that the roof of the court was about to be overturned.
"Compared to last year's All-Star debut, Meng is significantly more relaxed today." Looking at Meng Xu, who was waving to the fans on the field after Iverson, and playing treasure, today's guest commentator, Magic Johnson, also smiled.
"Although Meng Xu and Kidd came to the East, today's All-Star West still has a big advantage." When all the All-Stars in the East and West came out to warm up, looking at the starting lineups of the two teams, Michaels was very optimistic about the Eastern All-Stars, the lineups of the two teams were basically the same as last year, the Eastern All-Stars were still a group of swing people after adding Meng Xu, Kidd and Jordan, and the West was a group of super insiders, after Mourning's status declined sharply because of kidney transplantation, the East side was left with the aging Mutombo and the young Jermaine O'Neal, and the "Big Four" in the West pulled out one at random, can sweep the inside line in the east.
"El, although the interior of the west occupies a very big advantage, but the basketball game is not about who has the advantage of height, who can win, the east side of the outside advantage is huge, if the tactics are properly arranged, there is still hope."
While Michaels was still arguing with Magic Johnson about the better chance of winning the game, the jump ball on both sides had already had a result, and just like last year, Chris Webber, who replaced the injured O'Neal as the Western Conference All-Star starter, defeated Mutombo in the jump ball to win the ball for the Western Conference All-Star.
After Kidd went to the East, the West was further weakened in the position of guard, so Francis was also selected as a starter for the first time this year's All-Star. Although there are basically no tactics in the All-Star Game, these All-Star starters in the West have cooperated together many times after all, and the head coach of this year's Western All-Stars is still Nelson Sr., with so many good cards in hand, it is not in line with Nelson Sr.
Because the Western All-Stars started several interior lines, Chris Webber, Tim Duncan, and Kevin Garnett, are all the kind of interior lines with excellent planning ability, so at the beginning of the game, the Western All-Stars did not play the interior with a single brain, but used Webb and Duncan as the axis to respond on the inside, and then created opportunities for Garnett and Kobe Bryant who were pulled outside.
"If my Mavericks can have an interior like Chris or Tim, then the Mavericks can win the championship." After watching the Western All-Stars easily suppress the Eastern All-Stars under their own arrangement, they did not rely on the personal ability of the superstar, but relied on tactical rotation, and the old Nelson on the sidelines was excited about his tactical success, but also felt a little regretful in his heart. Nowitzki's scoring ability is almost the same as the other three of the "Big Four", but his ability to respond is much worse than the other three, which somewhat limits the Mavericks' ceiling.
