Superstars sometimes fall into paranoia. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The showdown between Kobe Bryant and James has a little bit of a sense of falling into it. However, this is undoubtedly a very good condiment for the overall All-Star Game, making this meal dedicated to fans more colorful.

In this year's All-Star Game at the Aviation Center, the protagonist is the soon-to-be-retired "Black Mamba" Kobe.

Li Dong's heart was like a mirror, and the soy sauce was silent.

Then it wasn't until he restarted in the second quarter that he got a chance to show himself.

It was the fast break of the Eastern team, and James threw this pass high as soon as he passed the half, with a very high arc, allowing Li Dong to cut into the basket at 45 degrees, and there was enough time to adjust the pace and timing.

Then he jumped to his feet, like a dragon out of water, controlled the basketball with his strong arms, made a big loop in the air, and dunked the ball in with his side hand.

It was a highly imaginative dunk, and the new dunk king once again showed his unparalleled dunking ability in front of the world.

And the Aviation Center Arena sent earth-shattering cheers after this dunk.

Li Dong's shining point is not only that, after the start of the second half, in a baseline reverse run, he won Wade's breakthrough point, and the pass comfortably made him wonder if he had cooperated with Wade many years ago.

Gasol turned his head in a daze, and decisively dodged away.

Li Dong stepped on the floor, his calves tensed and exerted force, his waist turned, and the whole person was gliding in the air, spinning at the same time, and then his arms were buckled down to complete a 360-degree turn dunk.

"It's brutal!" DeRozan's eyes almost didn't fall out, he was also a famous dunk in the league, but he was still shocked.

The Chinese fans were happy, and the better Li Dong performed, the more they liked it.

Li Dong made a lot of money during the All-Star Weekend, and Joe Thomas helped him take on several big contracts, including a three-year Pepsi contract and a BMW endorsement contract. Counting up, Li Dong signed tens of millions of commercial endorsement contracts during the entire All-Star Weekend, and if you add the sneaker contracts signed with Nike before, it is already more than 20 million a year.

Li Dong's salary income that seemed to be very large before is now only a small part of his annual income composition.

Even Joe Thomas, according to the 20% commission of the commercial contract stipulated by the NBA, has now become a small rich man as he wishes, and has truly become an upper-middle-class existence in the entire NBA agent group with an astonishing gap between the rich and the poor, and has suffered a lot of jealousy for no reason.

Li Dong himself did not expect that his success would swell in the circle of American basketball agents, and many agents who could not go on crossed the ocean to begin a carpet inspection report on this country where miracles continue to appear, this time, not only for professional leagues and youth sports schools, but even for ordinary high schools and junior high schools, who can guarantee that a hidden student will not be the next Li Dong

After three quarters, the Eastern Conference All-Stars trailed the Western All-Stars by nine points at 136-145, while Westbrook had already chipped in 23 points and six rebounds, and the second-highest Western Conference All-Star scorer was Curry with 20 points. In the East, George scored 30 points, James had 10 points, four rebounds and five assists, Li Dong scored 13 points, and Lowry handed out six assists.

The substitute stars of both sides continued to play offensive basketball without defense after coming on in the fourth quarter.

On the Western Conference bench side, Davis and Harden were very active, slashing back-to-back points to establish an advantage in the West.

James stayed on the court, and after the start of the fourth quarter, he slowly picked himself up and unleashed his power on both offensive and defensive ends.

After Thompson, Paul and Harden each hit two three-pointers, Curry also hit a long-range shot to stretch the score to 166-145. After Paul George returned to the court, he continued to score points on the inside, and Drummond also scored in a row; However, the West still continues to lead by more than 20 points.

A few minutes later, the All-Stars in the East gradually chased the score back, Wall, DeRozan, George, James, Drummond's lineup was fast, and there were four people on the court who could dominate the ball.

With eight minutes remaining, Bryant replaced Westbrook and Paul replaced Ginobili.

However, it may have been a little rested for a long time, and after Kobe Bryant came on the court, there were iron hits and mistakes, and the score difference was getting closer and closer, and after the Eastern Conference replaced Lowry and Li Dong, the score was further pulled in.

Before the final five-minute timeout, the West led by 12 points at 134-122 in the East, with Westbrook 28 points and eight rebounds, Curry 26 and Gasol 15. The top scorer in the East became George, who scored 41 points, James had 14 points, 4 rebounds and 7 assists, Li Dong scored 16 points, and Wade had a bit of ankle discomfort and did not play again in the second half.

At the last moment, the whole audience knew that it was time to get the real thing.

On the Eastern side, Wade was replaced by the hot DeMar DeRozan, and the responsibility of defending Kobe Bryant was handed over to James, and Li Dong was promoted to small forward to defend Durant.

Leonard on the bench gave head coach Popovich a helpless look, and Popovich also turned his head at this time.

"Don't want to play." Popovich didn't speak, but Leonard read it.

Every time Popovich becomes head coach in an All-Star Game, Duncan, Ginobili or Parker, don't want to play more than 20 minutes, and the main opponents, such as the Warriors stars who are now the No. 1 in the West, Curry, Thompson and Green, all three of them have played more than 60 minutes combined.

With 2:06 left in the final quarter, Paul George hit his ninth three-pointer to set a new All-Star Game record. With 1 minute left in the game, Kobe Bryant was substituted, and the players and fans on both sides gave Kobe a round of applause. With Curry hitting a long-range three-pointer, the West ended up with a 196-173 win over the East.

The East and West scored a total of 369 points, surpassing the 321 points recorded in last year's All-Star Game and setting a new all-time record in All-Star Game history.

The audience stood up and applauded all the stars who gave the wonderful performances, and the audience looked up at the technical statistics given on the big screen, waiting for the final MVP to be announced without any suspense.

"Russell Westbrook!"

"31 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists, won the All-Star MVP!" Xiao Hua smiled and handed the MVP trophy to Westbrook. The old man's eyes were smiling, and he was very satisfied with this year's All-Star Weekend.
