Chapter 611: An Unexpected Result
After the timeout, the East team still played a three-point strategy, this time McMillan arranged a two-block strategy for Anthony, Anthony successfully ran out of position, James this time beware of Downs, and the pass was in place at one time. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Anthony catches the ball and shoots straight away.
The basketball flew straight towards the basket under the gaze of more than 20,000 people at the scene.
If that goal goes in, the game will be suspenseful again, and it will definitely go to a penalty shootout.
"Bang!"
The basketball hits the hoop and bounces high.
Anthony's three-pointer, iron!
The rebound was grabbed by Downs.
The scene suddenly erupted in a burst of excited cheers.
Western troops, have won the game.
There were no more fouls on players from the Eastern team.
Towns followed up and handed the ball to Curry.
The West didn't mean to stop, and Curry got the ball to the frontcourt.
With less than five seconds left in the game, he was faced with a choice between who to give the ball to or to let the clock run out.
Tang Shuai, Westbrook, Durant, if you give any of them, you may have directly given the MVP to that person, and if you let the time run out, then you have made a choice, and the MVP will be Tang Shuai's.
It's a multiple-choice question, but it's a must-do.
There wasn't much time for Curry to hesitate, and almost moments after advancing to the frontcourt, he flicked the ball to Durant.
It's a logical choice.
Durant took the ball and shot directly into a three-point shot, and Anthony in front of him only symbolically stretched out his hand.
"Huh!"
Durant's last-minute three-pointer missed.
After the ball was scored, the whistle sounded on the sidelines.
152 to 144, the Western Army successfully won the game with a performance at the last moment!
At the end of the game, the fans cheered excitedly.
The players of the Western team also hugged each other in celebration.
After the All-Star Game also came to an end, the New Orleans All-Star Game officially ended.
But soon, the fans at the scene couldn't help but be restless again.
Next, it's time to award the MVP.
Curry chose to give the ball to his teammate Durant at the last moment, and Durant also hit the last shot, which brought his score to 31 points, surpassing Tang Shuai and becoming the player with the most points on the court.
Teammates on both sides of the field also returned to the bench and chatted with laughter.
The judges on the scene are hurrying to make the final decision.
At this moment, there was a burst of excited cheers from the scene.
"The Lord of the Rings" Russell, with the help of his assistant, arrived at the scene in a wheelchair.
As a living history of the league, Russell's low position in the league is unmatched, but his health has deteriorated in recent years, and he has needed a wheelchair to assist.
This is the first time Tang Shuai has seen Russell, and when he saw that the former overlord of the basket who killed all sides has become an old man in his last years, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion in his heart.
"Kevin, when we get the MVP trophy, we can go to a nightclub for a night." At this moment, Green said to Durant with a smile.
"I knew there was a nice nightclub in New Orleans, and I knew the owner there." Thompson followed suit.
Behind him came the voices of Green and Thompson talking, already beginning to celebrate Durant's AMVP in advance.
At this moment, there was another commotion among the fans, and it turned out that the judges had already begun to prepare for the awards.
At this time, the host got the results of the selection, and after a brief introduction, he opened the envelope containing the results in the expectant eyes of the audience.
The players stopped chatting and turned their eyes to the centre of the field.
"It's yours, it's you!" Green pushed Durant at this point.
"The MVP winner of the 2017 NBA All-Star is ......," the host paused when he read this.
"Tang Shuai, from the Los Angeles Lakers! contributed 30 points, 5 rebounds and 8 assists in this game! The host quickly read out the results.
"Yay!"
There was a burst of excited cheers from the scene.
Durant was visibly stunned.
"What......" Green was about to say when he was pushed by Curry behind him.
After hearing the announcement, Tang Shuai walked straight to the center of the venue.
This result, although somewhat unexpected, but reasonable, Durant in addition to 31 points, other data is 6 boards and 1 steal, the data comprehensiveness and Tang Shuai ratio is much different, and everyone can see that the key to the victory of the Western Army is Tang Shuai's outstanding performance in the fourth quarter.
While most of the time MVP is awarded to the person with the highest score, it hasn't always been the case in history, also in New Orleans, when James had 27 points, 8 rebounds and 9 assists, while the top player in the East was Ray Allen, who scored 28 points.
"Tang Shuai! Tang Shuai! ”
The fans at the scene began to shout Tang Shuai's name loudly.
Tang Shuai stretched out his hand, then walked to the center of the venue and shook hands with the host.
At this time, Russell had been helped by his assistant to get up from his wheelchair, took the MVP trophy from the staff's hands, and then handed it to Tang Shuai.
"Congratulations." Russell spoke, a slight trill, and could feel that his physical condition was not very good.
"Thank you, Mr. Bill." Tang Shuai said with respect, and then took the trophy from Russell's hand.
There was a deafening cheer at the scene.
After taking a photo with Tang Shuai, Russell was helped back to the wheelchair by his assistant, and then left the scene, and it can be seen that it is not easy to come to the scene.
"Don, congratulations, is there anything you'd like to tell your fans?" The host said and handed the microphone to Tang Shuai.
Tang Shuai took the microphone, handed the trophy to Duffy beside him, and then picked up the microphone.
Before he could start speaking, there was an immediate burst of excited cheers from the audience, and they had absolute reason to be excited about winning the MVP of the All-Star Game as a sophomore.
Tang Shuai waited until the cheers of the fans stopped, and then said: "Thank you, I don't know what to say when I'm so excited now, really." ”
As soon as he said his first words, there was another cheer from the audience.
The host motioned for the audience to be quiet, and after the audience calmed down, Tang Shuai continued: "I'm really honored to receive this award, in fact, my teammates, Kevin, Russell, Stephen, Carl, and Anthony Davis have performed quite well, this award is not only for me, he belongs to all the members of the Western team." ”
When these words were spoken, the scene fell into a boiling again, and the players of the western team also waved their hands excitedly.
"Don, this kid is very good at talking." Kobe Bryant turned to Vasani with a smile.
"You like him a lot." Vashani said with a smile.
Kobe Bryant laughed and didn't answer, but it could be seen from his eyes that he had acquiesced.
"I want to thank the fans who were there and who weren't, and I want to thank the Lakers, Coach Luke, my teammates, it's your support that made me to the All-Star team, thank you, it's for all of you." After speaking, Tang Shuai took the trophy and held it high into the air, attracting another burst of excited cheers from the fans.
After the award ceremony, Tang Shuai walked off the field with the trophy and hugged his teammates one by one.
"You've won this All-Star Game." Kobe Bryant said to Tang Shuai with a smile when he hugged him.
"Thank you." Tang Shuai patted Kobe Bryant's shoulder.
On the night of the All-Star Game, Tang Shuai and Paul, as well as several members of the Western team, went to a nearby bar to celebrate, and I don't know if it was because Durant didn't win the MVP in the end, and all four players of the Warriors were absent, but what was a little surprising was that Westbrook came like a nobody, and he was still dressed as fashionably as always.
Paul was quite open on this occasion, and with him there, the atmosphere of the whole box was quite good.
Tang Shuai is naturally the most eye-catching in the box, an All-Star Game won 4 trophies, and the big package is incomparable, especially when he became a new AMVP, he was poured a lot of wine, and at this time, he also lost his old time to go to the bar with Stephenson, otherwise it is estimated that he would have fallen down early.
After three rounds of drinking, I don't know who called the escort girl, and they all had fun.
Although Tang Shuai was also a little drunk, he still refused, and Stephenson let Rabbit . The girl's broken place is still vivid.
He found a reason to go to the toilet and came out of the box to breathe.
The bar was very similar to the one Stephenson had taken him to, and their box was on the second floor, and when he came out of the box, he looked up and saw Westbrook resting on the railing.
Although he has played against Westbrook many times on the field, in private, the two seem to have not communicated.
He thought for a moment, walked over and said, "Russell, what are you doing here?" ”
Westbrook heard someone call him, turned around and saw that it was Tang Shuai, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he said, "Why did you come out too?" ”
"It's too noisy inside, come out and breathe." Tang Shuai said with a smile.
"I didn't expect you to be used to this kind of occasion." Westbrook said in surprise.
Tang Shuai was stunned for a moment, and then said, "I didn't expect you to be unaccustomed to this kind of occasion. ”
Westbrook gave him a surprised look, and then both of them laughed heartily.
A smile is the best way to resolve the estrangement between people, and the tacit smile of the two people has shortened the distance between each other a lot.
Tang Shuai, in particular, found that Westbrook was not as grumpy as he seemed on the field, nor as cold as he seemed off the field.
The two chatted for a while, and Tang Shuai said: "This time All-Star, you should have won three consecutive championships, I robbed you, will you feel uncomfortable?" ”
"If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have won this game, so what you said doesn't hold true." To Tang Shuai's surprise, Westbrook denied his words.
Tang Shuai was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and smiled.
"What are you laughing at?" Westbrook said, looking at him.
"I really didn't expect you to have such a big heart." Tang Shuai said with a smile.
"Me? No......," Westbrook waved his hand, "I can understand it, and if the organizers give Kevin the final MVP, I think I'll be uncomfortable." ”
Tang Shuai glanced at Westbrook in surprise, and sure enough, Durant's decision in the summer had turned them from close friends to bitter enemies. (To be continued.) )
