Superstars sometimes fall into paranoia.

The showdown between Kobe Bryant and Wade 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 Staples All-Star Game, the protagonist is "Peter Pan" Kobe Bryant, who is in his playing year.

Tang Wenlong'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 Tang Wenlong 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 Staples Center Arena sent earth-shattering cheers after this dunk.

Tang Wenlong'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.

Duncan turned his head in a daze, and dodged decisively.

Tang Wenlong 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, completing a 360-degree turn dunk.

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

The Chinese fans were happy, and the better Tang Wenlong performed, the more they liked it.

And at such a time, some fans raised the issue that Tang Wenlong is already China's No. 1 basketball player, in the face of Yao Ming's reimbursement for another season and his career is in jeopardy, Tang Wenlong has surpassed too many peers, and he is even considered by his fans to be the best male athlete in China now, omnipotent.

Whether he is the best male athlete or not, but Tang Wenlong made a lot of money throughout the All-Star Weekend, and Joe Thomas helped him take on several big contracts, including a three-year contract with Pepsi and an endorsement contract for BMW. Counting up, Tang Wenlong 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 more than 20 million a year when you spread it out over each year.

Tang Wenlong'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.

Tang Wenlong himself did not expect that his success would swell up in the circle of American basketball agents, and many agents who couldn't get along crossed the ocean and began to carpet the 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 is not the next Tang Wenlong

After three quarters, the Eastern Conference All-Stars trailed the Western All-Stars by 17 points 100-117, while Bryant had already cut 34 points and nine rebounds, and the second-highest Western All-Star scoring was Durant with 20 points. Wade scored 19 points, James had 15 points, eight rebounds and seven assists, Tang Wenlong scored 13 points, and Rondo off the bench had eight assists.

The camera suddenly showed the stars on the sidelines, and Beyoncé and Jay-Z flew up affectionately on the sidelines. Then there was the Lakers' star player Odom, who brought his charming wife to watch the game, none other than the famous Khloe Kardashian. Moving further to the midfield, Chinese fans were surprised to see that movie star Huang Yi and singer Jay Chou were also on the scene, both of whom were loyal fans of Kobe.

During the break after the end of the third quarter, the young magician who was invited from somewhere performed a big change on the spot, which was extraordinary.

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

On the bench side of the West, Westbrook was very active, rushing into the interior several times, completing wonderful dunks after walking in the air, his dunks and Tang Wenlong are different styles, and on the East side, only Rose is similar to him, and the two are simply James in the point guard position.

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.

A few minutes later, the All-Stars in the East gradually chased the score back, Xiao Si, Rose, Bosh, James, Rondo The lineup was fast, and there were three 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 when Howard and Tang Wenlong were replaced in the East, the score was further pulled in.

A group of fans who fell to the East immediately appeared on the Internet, scolding the Eastern All-Star for not understanding the rules and daring to grab Kobe's MVP on Kobe's turf. Tang Wenlong is a little better, James was sprayed badly, and everyone turned up the old accounts of the 06 Houston All-Star Game, when the West was feeding Maddie, and in the end it was reversed by the East, and James snatched the only chance for Maddy's career to win the MVP

However, history did not repeat itself, Kobe Bryant's paranoia far surpassed Maddie's, and seeing that he couldn't shoot, he simply forced the inside line, causing Howard's beater foul.

After two free throws, the scoring drought in the West was broken, and the stars in the West began to find their scoring form again.

Before the final five-minute timeout, the West led by 12 points at 134-122 in the East, with Bryant having 37 points and 10 rebounds, Durant 27 and Gasol 15. The top scorer in the East became Xiao Si, who scored 24 points, James has a quasi-triple-double of 22 points, 10 rebounds and 8 assists, Tang Wenlong scored 16 points, and Wade was a little 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 Derrick Rose, and the responsibility of defending Kobe Bryant was handed over to James, and Tang Wenlong was promoted to small forward to defend Durant.

Coming back from the timeout, Rose shifted to Small.

Anthony was three steps away, he still looked like he was not defending, and Xiao Si saw that Anthony was not defending, so he simply shot a three-point attempt.

Actually went in like this, 125-134 in the East for the first time to bring the margin back to single digits.

Kobe Bryant immediately glanced at Anthony resentfully, what about defending well as he just said?

The defense on the eastern side is not leaky, Tang Wenlong is wrapped around Durant, Durant is a little taller than him, but now there is no ball in his hand, Tang Wenlong thought to himself, no matter how high you are, there is no useless egg.

Kobe missed his jumper and turned black.

Gasol, who replaced Duncan on the court under the basket, had a little longer arm and added the basketball to the basket, Kobe Bryant was overjoyed, and his teammates were still strong at the critical moment.

On the court, Duncan glanced helplessly at head coach Popovich, and Popovich also turned his head at this time.

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

Every time Popovich becomes the head coach of an All-Star Game, Duncan, Ginobili or Parker, don't want to play more than 20 minutes, and the main opponents, such as the Lakers stars who are now second in the West, Kobe Bryant and Gasol, have played more than 60 minutes combined.

The scores of the two teams have slowly increased during this period, but the excitement has continued unabated.

At 1:46, the West led the East by seven points, 142-135.

Tang Wenlong received James' pass and hit a three-pointer from the outside, sending James to a triple-double while chasing the score to only 4 points!

And Kobe Bryant has not scored during this time, he knows that he has a bad hand, so he simply concentrates on defense and puts the ball in Durant's hands.

Durant felt really good today, and Tang Wenlong didn't have a way to shoot a mid-range straight-arm jumper.

Coming back, Xiao Si missed a jumper from the right wing, and the rebound in the front court was grabbed by James, and he got up and hit a two-point basket, which stuck Anthony, and the two of them were like big forwards.

In 28 seconds, Durant's jump shot was missed by Tang Wenlong's interference.

At this most critical moment, the rebound was grabbed by Gasol again, and the Spaniard was simply superbly good for his teammate's MVP, and Howard's various rebounds were clicked out.

James had no choice but to deliberately foul Gasol and send Gasol to the free throw line.

The audience immediately burst into cheers, and it was rare for All-Stars to foul their tactics.

Gasol hit both free throws to give the West a six-point lead over the East at 146-140.

Ray Allen replaced Howard, and the East prepared for the final three-point attempt. And in the West, Popovich replaced Gasol, who was moving slowly, and replaced Westbrook!

The last-minute substitutions for both teams were a stroke of genius, but Popovich was clearly superior. Westbrook's play made the Western rotation defense instantly rise a notch, and the strategy of letting go of the two-point defense and three-point defense made the East never find a chance, knowing that in the last 5.3 seconds, James broke through the ball to Ray Allen!

Ray Allen immediately named a life-saving three-pointer in the bottom corner! 143 to 146, only 3 points behind in the East!

However, there was not much time left, James sent Durant to the free throw line, and Durant unceremoniously hit both free throws. The West is 148-143 with a 5-point lead over the East!

Xiao Si missed a 45-degree shot from the left wing, and the game was over.

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.

"Kobe Bryant!"

"37 points and 14 rebounds, including 10 frontcourt rebounds, breaking the All-Star Game frontcourt rebounding record!" Stern smiled and handed the MVP trophy to Kobe. The old man's eyes were smiling, and he was very satisfied with this year's All-Star Weekend.
