Chapter 394: Harming others is not good for oneself
On the last day of the All-Star Weekend, the finale is about to begin, but most fans have not yet digested the magical performance that Wu Huang brought at the three-point contest the day before, and before the main game, everyone is still talking about Wu Huang's groundbreaking 30-point miracle and the final acrobatic performance. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The three consecutive championships in this three-point contest are also considered by major media to be the last battle of the New York emperor's official accession to the throne, and from now on, no one can question that he is not qualified to become the No.1 of active players.
Wu Huang has won James's unattainable championship in the past 8 years, as well as the MVP of the finals, and now Wu Huang has basically won all the honors that a player can get, and the only thing left is the three consecutive championships on behalf of the dynasty that ruled a period.
But that doesn't stop him from being the first active player, and at a time when O'Neal is retiring and Kobe Bryant and Duncan are getting older, he's undoubtedly the number one star among active players.
"I don't dare to say I'm number one, even though after shooting 30 points yesterday, I felt like I was invincible, but in hindsight, it was just an exhibition game, just an unguarded shooting game, which is what I do best, and even if I win, it's not surprising. If you say that you are the best in the world, and when you are slapped in the face by someone else another day, it will hurt very much. Wu Huang decisively rejected the title in front of other players at the pre-game press conference, but he didn't pretend to be forced at this time.
The media in the audience was confused by his changing attitude day by day, yesterday he was high-spirited, and the whole audience kept pretending to be 13, why did he suddenly become modest today?
Wu Huang did swell a little yesterday, and he also said a lot of big things after the game, but after calming down and thinking about it, no matter how bullish he is in the three-point contest, in fact, it is like that, as long as he does not get the dynasty, he is not the strongest in the active service.
I heard that Kobe Bryant has been hooking up with Howard recently, if the two of them are joined forces, then the Lakers still have the ability to cause a lot of trouble for the Knicks, and he may not be able to overturn such a Lakers team with a solid interior like an iron bucket in the Finals.
At that time, once he lost, who would care how amazing he was in the three-point contest?
If he becomes the final loser, these previous honors will become ammunition to be ridiculed by others.
But in this case, if there is a triple championship in hand, even if you do lose the game, it doesn't matter, the defense of the three consecutive championships can block out most of the criticism, but the honor in the three-point contest can't stop the doubts after losing the finals.
The reality is very cruel, and people who are easily satisfied can only laugh for a while at most, without a sense of crisis, how can they survive in this cruel world.
Yao Ming, who is completely a veteran here, said at the press conference: "I feel good to be in the All-Star Game again this year, I mean, I look around and see the guys who are shaking the whole league right now, and they are like the first time I played in the All-Star Game." "How many players can say they've played 10 seasons in the league and seen two or three generations of players grow and age, you know what I mean?" I'm also getting old, but it's not sad at all, on the contrary, I'm happy and honored to be here and see and experience it for myself. ”
The foreign media felt the difference between the pure Chinese and the banana people at the moment, and they couldn't wait to point to Wu Huang's nose and said: Look at Yao Ming's ideological consciousness and attitude towards life, and then look at you, a damn guy, you are really Chinese cute.
The NBA All-Star Game is about to start, the stars on the court are shining, but the artists off the court are also coming to cheer, the all-star performance before the game has been a link that the league has paid more and more attention to, in recent years, with the quality of the invited stars getting higher and higher, the star performance before the game has been extended to an hour and a half, and even began to have Chinese fans jokingly say "This is the Spring Festival Gala in the United States".
Wu Huang regretted coming to the front row to watch this bad performance, he was worried that Taylor Swift would complain afterwards if he didn't come, so he followed his teammates to the front row to watch the performance. But I never expected that this little slut actually ran over during the performance to have an off-site interaction, and teased him fiercely, and before leaving, he also learned the scene of a female rapper who kissed the audience before, and kissed him without saying a word, which was still an obviously excessive wet kiss.
"Damn it!" Emperor Wu looked at the little singer with a demonstration in his eyes, and his face turned a little red. But it's not shyness, he's just being angry! Although this wet kiss made the fans who watched the excitement very excited, Wu Huang could already feel the anger from the other girls, and his backyard was about to catch fire again. In a few days, he will have to buy a big order for a lot of smashed homes in the girls' homes. It's troublesome enough to deal with those media for a while. In short, he regretted coming to see this show.
Emperor Wu didn't know that in addition to the fire in his backyard, he also had a bit of dog abuse.
But the other two people on the court today attracted the same attention as he and Tyler Swift: Kobe Bryant and Howard.
The reason why these two are interesting is not only because Howard is the only host of the All-Star Game, nor is it just that Kobe Bryant has a chance to break Jordan's All-Star Game scoring record today. is even more because the hottest trade rumor in the league is that Howard is going to the Lakers.
Cove was with Howard before the game, which is even more obvious than the between Tyler Swift and Wu Huang, and fools know that the Lakers and Magic are all about this deal.
The Magic had earlier given Howard the green light to leave, informing his agent, Dan Fagan, that he could negotiate with the Lakers, Nets and Mavericks. Yesterday, the American media just revealed the three-way trade of the Lakers, Magic, and Timberwolves, the Lakers sent Smalls and Bynum, got Howard, Beasley and JJ Barria, the Magic got Bynum and Derrick Williams, and the Timberwolves got Smalls. And today, another three-team trade plan was exposed by the media, this time the Lakers and Magic found the Toronto Raptors.
According to the "Orlando Sentinel", the Lakers still sent the twin towers, and Smalls and Bynum joined forces to join the Magic, and the Magic sent Howard, Turkoglu and Jamil Nelson to Los Angeles together, and the Raptors sent Jose Calderon to the Magic to get a trade exception and some cash.
Obviously, the bargain between the Magic and the Lakers is still raging, and the Magic have long made it clear that in order to get Howard, they must send both Smalls and Bynum. The plan that joined the Timberwolves before is reported to be not favored by the Magic, because they want to get rid of Turkoglou's big contract while sending Howard away, so there is today's new version.
As things stand, Howard's departure from the Magic this season is almost a foregone conclusion, and the possibility of going to the Lakers is also quite likely. No wonder, at today's All-Star Game, Warcraft actually watched the performance side by side with Kobe Bryant in front of fans all over the world, and the two talked and laughed, and then danced in the appearance ceremony to openly "flirt" with the flying man.
Fans of the two teams already have a hunch at this time, and maybe it won't be long before this scene can appear on the Lakers' training ground every day.
Line-ups of both teams -
Eastern Stars starting lineup: Wu Huang, Dwyane Wade, LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony, Dwight Howard.
East subs: Derrick Rose, Deron Williams, Andre Iguodala, Paul Pearce, Chris Bosh, Pau Gasol, Joakim Noah.
Western Stars starting lineup: Chris Paul, Kobe Bryant, Kevin Durant, Blake Griffin, Yao Ming.
Western Conference subs: Russell Westbrook, Tony Parker, Dirk Nowitzki, LaMarcus Aldridge, Andrew Bynum, Marc Gasol, Kevin Love.
This year, the lineup of the eastern team is more balanced, and although the western team is lacking in the guard position, the internal strength should not be underestimated, the strength of the two sides is still half a pound and eight taels, and the main reason for winning depends on the enthusiasm of the players, which side does not want to contribute more players, and which side has a greater chance of losing the game.
Wu Huang first said that he didn't want to play more, including Wade and James and others also had the same attitude. This shortened season has made these stars not want to contribute to this kind of game, and it is their idea to be lazy if they can, and only the host Howard has expressed his intention to win the MVP, which can make him more fragrant in the trade market.
Howard originally thought that Emperor Wu would not cooperate, but he didn't expect that the Holy Sect Master was the first to stand up and support him, such a big contrast made the monster a little confused, how did he think that Emperor Wu was the kind of villain who held grudges, otherwise he wouldn't have bitten him for so many years and didn't let go, why would he suddenly be so kind today?
Even the villain Wu Huang has spoken, and James and others, who don't want to contribute, will not object, and even Ross is too ruthless because of Xibodu, who should have taken the initiative to fight for MVP, but he didn't open his mouth to fight.
In addition, the way the Eastern Stars played this year made Wu Huang a little dissatisfied, Howard, the host, had to engage in a dancing gimmick, this bastard wanted to show off his ugly dancing skills, and by the way, embarrassed him, a person who can't dance.
It's not that Wu Huang doesn't know how to dance at all, it's just that he doesn't like to show off his half-baked dancing skills in front of the whole world, and he is even more reluctant to dance on the all-stars.
So there was an embarrassing scene after the appearance of the Eastern Army, each of the five people who started on the field came to an impromptu dance when they appeared on the stage, but Wu Huang, who appeared in the fourth place, just came perfunctory and stretched a few in-situ stretching exercises to be finished, which made the audience say: This is too perfunctory, right?
But Wu Huang is not the only guy in the Eastern Army who doesn't buy it, and when the bench lineup was later unveiled, Gasol, Rose and Delon didn't give Howard face, especially Rose, who didn't even bother to do a little bit of stretching exercise, which caused many fans to boo him.
Rose was unmoved, still with a cold face, and when the two teams entered and began to warm up briefly, he told reporters: "I don't care, everyone knows that I'm like this, if I really dance on the All-Star, you will definitely look at me with strange eyes." I am who I am, not anyone else, and I think that's what people see me. In addition, Ross also said that although he has been selected as an All-Star for two consecutive years, he is still not suitable for the all-star competition.
"I don't seem to be the only one who doesn't like dancing here, and I'm glad to see these comrades who think the same way as me." After Emperor Wu saw that Rose was even more excessive than him, he suddenly laughed in his heart. He had long felt that it was embarrassing to dance here, and he didn't quite understand the thoughts of Howard and James and others, so he was allowed to dance unless he was stripped naked with his sister.
"By the way, did we win or lose last year?" When Wu Huang was shouting slogans around the eastern players, he asked a question that made others cry and laugh.
"Did you get the MVP?" After James said this, he suddenly felt unhappy in his heart, because he reacted, and Emperor Wu was obviously playing tricks on him.
"Dude, you're going too far." Wade shook his head, Wu Huang is too lacking in morality.
Gasol laughed in his heart: "Who told you to answer?" However, he also agrees that the core of his team is very underwhelming, and he can't do such a thing.
The Spaniards also reminisced with their former teammates before the game, but Wu Huang didn't see Xiao Si, who only played 70% of last year's strength in the Lakers, and is no longer qualified to come here this year.
There are a lot of questions about Stoudemire's body, but is it because of his injuries that he has caused his performance to decline? Or is it because of the unhappiness with the Lakers after leaving the Knicks?
If it's because of the injury, his attendance rate this season is also passable, so now many New York fans feel that it is not that they deliberately cheated the Lakers, but that the Lakers did not use good Xiaosi, just like they did not use Gasol well.
Didn't they look down on Gasol in every way last season? As a result, the Knicks came and immediately played a stat close to that of Xiao Si last season.
Gasol has averaged 18.2 points and 9.1 rebounds per game so far, and another 3.2 assists, which is indeed not inferior to the two consecutive championship periods, and his partner is not a small role, which means that Gasol still has the ability to 20+10+3.
Kobe Bryant has been laughing today, and Wu Huang secretly complained in his heart, "Valentine's Day has passed, and the girl is still so happy, I don't know how many single dogs will be tortured to death." Since he stimulated the boss last time, I don't know if it has indirectly accelerated the reunion of others. Not long ago on Valentine's Day, the news of Kobe and Vanessa's reunion was swiped on major websites overnight, and Wu Huang also lost a powerful weapon against Kobe.
Kobe Bryant was in a really good mood, not only when he greeted Wu Huang before the game, he did not dislike the perfunctory, but came to a cordial hug, completely forgetting last year's one-punch revenge. At the same time, he naturally expressed his willingness to score high in the competition at the round table in the west.
Both Paul and Durant think that the boss's request is very brazen!
How old are you? And this shrinking season has been brutalized by Brown again, and now he still has the energy and heart to compete with their group of young people for honor? Is this guy really mentally problematic?
After the game started, Howard jumped lightly to fight for the basketball, because Yao Ming on the opposite side didn't even jump at all, turned around and walked back.
Howard is also in a good mood today, as the host, he is the star with the most fans on the scene today, and Wu Huang can't match his home advantage no matter how strong he is. And even that bastard has promised to help him win the MVP, and today's Warcraft is ready to use this game as his personal show.
This idea proved that he was really naïve, and Wu Huangke was never a Lei Feng who was willing to help others.
"Huh?" Originally, Howard was relieved to see that Yao Ming didn't pay much attention to him at the beginning, and when he was about to make an aerial relay, the basketball had been directly stuffed into the penalty area by Wu Huang.
Anthony received a basketball in the restricted area and jumped up to complete a two-handed dunk to give the Eastern Conference Stars the lead.
Howard felt that Wu Huang's ball was passed too fast, and he was not in place yet, so he should be allowed to get this good start.
Today, the styles of the two teams are still very different, and the lineup of the eastern team is on the offensive side, except for Wu Huang, basically from the inside, or to the inside to attack; The offense of the Western team is clearly opposite, and their starters are basically outside offense except for the inside.
Durant hit a three-pointer in the opening game, and then Kobe Bryant opened the game 7-2 with two picturesque mid-range shots in a row.
The Eastern side was in trouble after getting off to a good start, and Wu Huang chose to assist James on his second offense, but the latter's breakthrough layup missed.
Howard began to get anxious, and took the initiative to ask Wu Huang for the ball for the third time, and only then did he get the basketball in the low post.
However, Yao Ming is not like Howard's imagination, in addition to defending the water once on the opening jump ball, the little giant has been showing a seventy or eighty percent attitude in the regular season on the defensive end, which is already a very serious level in the All-Star Game.
Howard hasn't dropped much on the offensive end this season, but he hasn't improved much either, which makes it difficult for him to make a single pick up on Yao Ming. Although Yao Ming didn't play his best defense, Howard didn't just want to score the ball in the All-Star Game, he also wanted to play well, preferably with a slam dunk.
Well, if this is the way of playing, it will be difficult for Howard to play seventy or eighty percent of his strength on the offensive end on weekdays, which also makes him a complete tragedy in front of Yao Ming - the first two attacks all missed.
The home fans of the Magic team were dissatisfied, they felt that Yao Ming was so serious about defending at the beginning, obviously not giving them face as the host, how could anyone be so ignorant!
This is to blame Emperor Wu, the Holy Sect Master told Yao Ming before the game, most of the balls he passed to Howard today will be low-post back-to-back balls, forcing him to use back-to-back skills and low-post footwork to attack, which is also the most comfortable way for Yao Ming to defend, the purpose is to truly fulfill Yao Ming's title of "Warcraft Buster".
"Wouldn't that be too much? This is his home field, don't we give any face? When Yao Ming heard about Wu Huang's plan before the game, he felt that it was too much.
"It's not too much at all, if Howard gets a high score, how will the American media report afterwards? Will they give you face? Emperor Wu is obviously a personal vendetta, his cautious eyes obviously want to take the opportunity to kill Howard, but the righteousness in his mouth is awe-inspiring, "Brother Yao, you just think that I am making amends for you for the transfer, I really think that you should have a higher historical status than now, but unfortunately I am not in the west, so I can only curve the savior." ”
When Yao Ming heard this, he was quite moved, so he didn't ask to play less this year, but instead said that he wanted to play more at the end of his career All-Star.
Western coach Brooks was too late to be happy after hearing this, the little giant has always been a shortcoming in terms of physical strength, and since he wants to die, of course he is happy to be successful.
Yao Ming is actually a little more modest, and he is now fully qualified to ask his teammates to fulfill his MVP for one of his All-Star games.
First of all, in terms of qualifications, Yao Ming is definitely enough, plus he took the initiative to ask for less play in the previous games, this time he opened his mouth, even Kobe Bryant was embarrassed to fight with him, and Durant and others were embarrassed to compete with Yao Ming in terms of qualifications. Finally, in terms of strength, Yao Ming can play a super efficient attack in this kind of game without a bag, at most it is not very ornamental, but it is absolutely easy to get a high score, especially when defending him most of the time is the little monster with insufficient strength in the lower limbs.
After most of the first quarter, Wu Huang secretly said that he was too bad!
Howard was about to cry here, he could always get the ball, and Wu Huang really passed it to him, but the balls he passed were in the two low areas, and he only passed Howard a high air relay in the middle of the game, and finally was dunked to the basket by the monster and smashed away.
Thibodeau had already seen that Wu Huang was doing something, so he replaced Wu Huang and Howard together, and was ready to let the two of them play together in the next quarter, which was to add to the fire.
That's right, Thibodeau is also doing something, and he is happy to see Howard unlucky, because according to the previous record, the Magic is likely to meet his Bulls in the first round of the playoffs, so he will not help Howard get high scores.
Howard continued to anal with Yao Ming in the low post and on the penalty area line in the first quarter, his explosive upper body muscles were useless, and he couldn't squeeze in at all, and he was able to get close to the penalty area line because Yao Ming released some water, and the result was that only one of the 7 shots turned around and broke through the dunk to get two points, and even the home fans couldn't stand it.
But most of the time, Yao Ming won't let him turn around and break through easily. When Howard is dealing with other interior players, he may be able to use his extremely fast turn to break through and force him to jump to the inside line and dunk, but Yao Ming's broad body is difficult to be squeezed away by one or two steps, and Howard's footsteps are very average, and he can't create better opportunities through continuous dumping. The result is that in Yao Ming's eyes, Howard is too easy to defend, as long as he doesn't lose his position, he won't give Howard a chance to shoot from close range, and the latter's shooting outside the box is not reliable at all, and it is completely a violent rhythm.
Yao Ming was really not joking in restraining Howard, the latter used to cover up his back attack, and once he couldn't use it, then he really couldn't do anything. Who told him that unlike Duncan, Gasol and others, he could still pull to the outside line to shoot and fly Yao Ming's kite, Uncle Howard didn't have this ability.
When Howard went off the court, he only had 4 points, 4 rebounds and 1 block, and those two points were still won by free throws.
Wu Huang didn't shoot much today, and his cheating method also caused his assists to be not high, but after more than eight minutes, he still got 6 points, 1 rebound and 3 assists, including 2 shots and 2 shots, and all of them were three-pointers.
Thibodeau did not reuse Rose today to reduce Wu Huang's playing time, even if he took the initiative to ask for less play, but this white and fat guy is still worried that he will be complained by fans that he is nepotistic if he reduces Wu Huang's playing time. In fact, with Wu Huang's current fame, no coach dares to suppress him.
Wu Huang's behavior of hurting others and not benefiting himself led not only to his own statistics, but also to the East Army because of Howard's numerous waves in the first quarter and several attack waves from the West, losing 31:40 after the first quarter and trailing by 9 points.
"It's only nine points, James can handle it." Wu Huang was very irresponsible off the court to think that the Heat Big Three were able to play at the same time in the early part of the second quarter, and they would play against the motley army combination in the West, which should logically have an advantage.
But the Holy Master's poisonous milk directly killed the Heat Big Three, in the face of Aldridge, Nowitzki, and Love, the strange lineup of the three insides, the East team was stunned by the sudden three-point rain and mid-range shooting, and the three projection interior lines of the Western team directly stunned the Heat Big Three with a 14:7 attack wave of 6 shots in 6, James and Wade lack the defects of long-range lethality, even if they are caught and beaten violently on the All-Star, which is the most embarrassing.
The score was 38:54, and the Heat only relied on James to make a three-point return during this period, but he and Wade each shot twice during this period, and the three-point shooting percentage of 1 of 4 was too much worse than that of 4 on the opposite side.
"Go to hugo, we're going to see hugo!" The fans at the scene didn't know what Wu Huang did in the first quarter, and even Howard himself didn't react, and he was still immersed in the deep shame of being beaten by Yao Ming, so even the Magic fans felt that they should quickly replace Wu Huang, the strongest trump card in the eastern projection field, to sanction the arrogance of the western team.
Yao Ming laughed on the other side, he also got 10 points and 4 rebounds today, Paul and Parker were still willing to pass the ball to him, Kobe Bryant also passed him one, and his shooting percentage of 5 shots was the reason why these people were willing to trust him, and why Howard felt so ashamed.
