Chapter 380: Glory MVP
Flying in the air, tall and strong with a height of one meter above the ground and an angle of 45 degrees, the whole person is in the shape of a "bow", holding the basketball high with one hand and splitting towards the basket.
All eyes in the audience were focused on Gao Dazhuang, but Gao Dazhuang could hardly hear the cheers of the audience, at this time his attention was highly concentrated, he knew that success or failure was in one move, now he only had the basket in his eyes, now he just wanted to smash the ball into the basket, now he only wanted to win!
The ball was getting closer and closer to the basket, but at this time, the tall and strong vaguely saw "Warcraft" Howard appear in front of him, and his giant palms also rushed towards him.
A sense of crisis arose, and he could even feel the wind blowing in his face, "You must enter!" The tall and strong heart kept shouting.
With a "snap", the tall man flying in the air also held his other hand on the basketball, and at this moment he chose to give up his body balance, thus further strengthening the strength of the dunk to the basket, so the originally elegant one-handed slam dunk turned into a powerful two-handed slam dunk.
With the sound of "Peng", the tall and strong could clearly feel the power coming from Howard's arm, and he could clearly feel that Howard and his arm collided together.
"Go in" But at this time, the tall and strong had no way out, and he used all his strength to press the ball to the basket.
It's like punching several layers of thick plastic film, but in the face of huge resistance, Gao Dazhuang did not give up!
With a "clang", a feeling of pulling out of the quagmire, the tall and strong suddenly felt the resistance in front of him suddenly disappear. Then he heard the sound of the basket smashing into the basket.
The entire Toyota Center suddenly fell silent, and the tall and strong man looked back at the referee.
"Toot" as the referee made a goal valid and blew the whistle for the end of the game, and the audience suddenly erupted in thunderous cheers.
128:129
Lore! The Eastern All-Stars overtook the Western All-Stars at the last second!
"YES" Tall and Strong used all his strength to leap into the air and wave his fists in the air with excitement.
"I knew you could do it, well done" LeBron James suddenly pounced from the side, put his arms around his tall neck and roared loudly, just as Carmelon Anthony, Dwyane Wade and Kevin Garnett on the bench and other Eastern Conference All-Star stars poured into the court.
“MVP”、“MVP”、“MPV”…… A neat shout rang out in the Toyota Center Arena, and the tall man who struggled out of the crowd raised his fist and looked around the arena. Kudos to the fans who supported him.
"Although you killed us today. But I still want to say, you did a really good job today," Popovich, the coach of the Western All-Star Team next to Tall Strong, gave Tall and Strong a very high evaluation.
"You're the best young man in the league right now," Eastern Conference All-Star coach Spoelstra said, patting his tall shoulder on the shoulder.
Even Yao Ming, who was in the audience on the sidelines, pushed aside everyone and came to Gao Dazhuang's side and gave him a big hug, "You gave me too many surprises." I'm really looking forward to what you're doing in the national team."
……
The All-Star MVP trophy was erected on a stage right in the center of the arena. And this is tonight. It's also the last suspense of this year's All-Star Weekend.
The Western Conference All-Stars starter Kevin Durant had 35 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists, and Chris Paul had 20 points, 4 rebounds, 18 assists and 3 steals. The Western All-Star team didn't win, so they didn't win the MVP, the biggest All-Star Weekend award of the year.
In the Eastern All-Star team that won this game, LeBron James played a "quasi" triple-double of 28 points, 9 rebounds, 9 assists, 3 blocks and 2 steals; Tall and strong, he came from behind, handing over 35 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists, 1 block and 2 steals.
Another starter, Carmelo Anthony, also contributed a double-double of 23 points, 10 rebounds and two assists, but he was slightly inferior in stats compared to James and Tall Strong.
LeBron James undoubtedly has more comprehensive statistics, but the tall and strong 20 points in the final quarter and the final "stunner" are impressive.
This year's All-Star MVP will be selected by all basketball fans around the world, is the "little emperor" LeBron James? Or is the "rookie king" tall and strong? Alliance President Stern will give the answer.
This will be the last time Stern will present the All-Star Game MVP trophy as the president of the league, I saw him slowly come to the center of the stage, raise the trophy and slowly say: "10 years, the MVP belongs to Dwyane Wade; In 11 years, the MVP belonged to Kobe Bryant; In 12 years, the MVP belonged to Kevin Durant; And today, this trophy will belong to a young man"
"He has set record after record and created miracle after miracle at this year's All-Star Weekend," President Stern continued, "I declare that the All-Star Game MVP belongs to ~~~ tall and strong! ”
"Oh" In the huge cheers and applause of the fans, Gao Dazhuang won this year's NBA All-Star MVP.
"It's your All-Star Weekend," President Stern smiled as he handed the trophy to Gao Dazhuang.
Yes, it was his All-Star Weekend, and for the first time in NBA history, he won the Rookie Challenge MVP, Skill King, Three-Point Champion and Slam Dunk Champion, and for the first time in NBA history, no one has won all the major awards with this heaviest trophy.
"Wow" took the heavy trophy, shouted tall and powerful, and then slammed the trophy above his head, and the audience erupted in a roaring scream again.
……
Reporters then flocked to the stadium to conduct indiscriminate interviews with the players on the field.
James has always been considered the most powerful contender for the MVP of this All-Star Game, especially now that James is still fighting a "verbal battle" with Jordan, and he urgently needs an MVP to fight back.
A few days ago. The topic of who is greater Kobe Bryant or James can be said to have touched the nerves of fans all over the world, but at this juncture, James not only lost the MVP trophy, but also encountered Kobe's two big hats in the game.
If the first time James was attacked by Kobe, then the second time James was singled out against Kobe Bryant, the hat made the first person in the league very sad.
"It's nothing, the key is that we won", but in front of reporters, James still showed a great gentlemanly demeanor, "tall and strong fully deserves this MVP, he is a very good young man".
For being recognized by Jordan as inferior to Kobe. James didn't directly retort: "I want to send such a message. Winning covers everything, that's what Jordan did, so in my opinion, try to win as many as you can. Go and enjoy the game. It's that simple."
And when the reporter asked James. When Bryant said something to him on the court, James replied, "He said everything, we were just talking about the game itself." And the actions we did on the pitch, everyone was in a good mood."
is also a teammate of the Miami Heat, Dwyane Wade naturally can't be ambitious, "Kobe Bryant's block to James? I don't have a big opinion on that, I don't feel it, today we came to win and we did it."
Last year's All-Star, Wade's ferocious foul directly fractured the bridge of Kobe's nose, making the Lakers wear a mask for many days, and Wade also talked about this topic after the game today: "Kobe told me before the game, let me stop touching his nose." ”
In the final analysis, an all-star is a show, entertainment is the essence, and the protagonists often laugh at these talking points left behind, just to have fun.
And one of the "Big Three" of the Heat, the "Dragon King" Bosh, is more sad, basically his All-Star journey this year is a nightmare, 6 points, 2 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 steal is reasonable, but being dribbled through the crotch twice by Paul and Westbrook made him very faceless, and there were three shots in the game, which also showed that he was not in shape at all.
At this time, a reporter asked Bosh: "What do your teammates who played a game with Gao Dazhuang think of him?" ”
"He's great, very, very talented, and I don't think a lot of people expected him to improve so quickly and he made it look so easy," Bosh said. ”
Bosh smiled wryly at being humiliated by Paul and Westbrook in the game, saying, "It's been a long time since this happened, and they're all very fast, like, 'What the hell is going on?' I didn't even react, and when it did, I was like, 'Okay,' and then Westbrook did the trick and I was thinking 'Damn bastard,' so I pulled him a bit. He's going to get ready for a layup, so I can't let him go to the basket, everybody wants to go through my crotch."
In the end, Bosh said very calmly: "I had a great time, not everyone gets this opportunity, and it is great to be able to attend such a party."
"It's a game for young people" At today's All-Star Game, Celtics veteran Kevin Garnett didn't play much time, Garnett said after the game that he told Coach Spoelstra that he didn't need much playing time, "I made the right choice, he played very, very well today, and he will change the whole league."
Carmelo Anthony, another member of the Eastern All-Star team, said of the just-concluded All-Star Game, "I think it's very interesting to watch Kobe Bryant and James compete in the fourth quarter, and the two of them are known to be competitive, so we think it's interesting to watch them compete against each other on the court, but at the same time, it's very understandable, of course, except for the two of them, other people are also very competitive, such as me and Gao Dazhuang, we don't want to lose the game."
In terms of Western stars, Kobe Bryant is the focus there, especially his confrontation with James in the fourth quarter, which is a topic sought after by reporters.
"Me? Trash talk? I never say it, I don't talk trash, I'm a good person, but I don't want James to score on top of me, SHIT, I still gave him two free throws, and his low footwork is very, very good...... "Even though he lost the game, Kobe Bryant still gushed about the matchup with James.
"After putting James on the hat, he said to me, 'You fouled,' and I said to him, 'Yes, I fouled. Every time I guard you for a foul, man, I'm 80', haha, but we all love the challenge and have fun," Kobe Bryant said with a laugh.
At this time, Paul on the side suddenly interjected: "During the pause, Kobe told us that he was going to be one-on-one with James, and apparently he completed the task."
"I've been playing in this league for a long time, I've played a lot of All-Star games, I've seen generations. I've probably seen three generations of them. No, it's four generations, and in my first All-Star Game, I defended Jordan. It felt like a dream come true. He gave me a few lessons. But I also learned very quickly, and then Maddie, Carter. Iverson and so on, and now playing with James, Wade and others, the future will belong to the tall and strong, Irving, I have gone through four generations," Kobe Bryant said with some pride.
"Everybody knows that the All-Star Game is the last quarter to get the real shot, and that's the most fun part," Kobe Bryant said, "Fans want to see this, they want to see competition and confrontation, today, I think we put on a very good show, the tension at the last moment, that's the fun, my favorite, and, seeing the tall and strong now, I think of my past me."
A reporter asked Kobe if he was his last All-Star this year, and Kobe immediately retorted: "No, I still have a contract next year, absolutely impossible, I will participate next year."
In the fourth quarter of the game, Kobe Bryant successfully blocked James, and Durant quickly entered the front court after picking up the ball and completed a one-handed split, which also made Durant's total score reach 30 points.
Since the league opened the All-Star Game in 1951, only 16 people have scored 30+ before, and no one has been able to score 30+ in two consecutive All-Star games, as the player who has scored the most 30+ times in the previous All-Star Game, Kobe Bryant has scored at least 30 points three times, but they were completed in 02, 07 and 2011, Jordan and Dr. J have won two times respectively, but they are not coherent, only Durant, can continue to do such an epic performance.
But Durant, who lost and was robbed of the MVP trophy, was obviously not in a good mood, and he politely declined an interview with reporters, but his former teammate Harden was in good spirits.
Speaking about his first All-Star debut, Rockets core James Harden said, "It's a really good feeling to be able to get on the court and play with all these amazing players."
"Also, I still miss these guys," Harden said, pointing at Durant and Westbrook, "and it feels like they're still around every day."
……
Of course, the tall and strong man who finally lifted the MVP trophy was the only "center" in the whole court, and the reporters who interviewed him even surpassed James and Kobe.
"I'm very honored to play against these great stars, play with them, it's easy to attack, I just need to do my own thing, my teammates have created very good offensive opportunities for me" Such a "great player" in Gao Dazhuang's mouth is undoubtedly indispensable to James, and most of James's assists are given to Gao Dazhuang.
Speaking about winning the MVP trophy, Gao Dazhuang said: "It's a very strange feeling, it's special, it's something I've never thought about fighting for before this game, and James told me during the game, and he said, 'Dude, if they score, you run forward, I'll pass it to you, you go score', and it feels really good."
"I never thought about that, I was thinking about how to win the fight and in the last quarter we were talking about how to win the match," Gao added.
When talking about his 35 points, Gao Dazhuang said: "I just want to play fast in this game, I like to play fast, I like to play with my teammates, I like to run and jump shots, you know in our team, there are well-rounded players like James, there are great players like Wade on the wing, and there are forward players like Anthony, they are very contained, I can score easily, there is nothing to say about such a lineup."
In addition, Gao Dazhuang also revealed a detail, saying that before the game, head coach Spoelstra told all the players of the entire Eastern Conference All-Star team: "He wants us not to play this as an exhibition game, but as an official game, because the playoffs are coming, and he doesn't want us to develop some loose and lazy habits."
Gao Dazhuang said that it feels very good to play for Si Shuai, because Si Shuai is definitely a master coach in the basketball world, "I have learned a lot, and I have learned a lot in one game!" ”
Gao Dazhuang became the youngest All-Star Game MVP in history and the first All-Star Game MVP in the history of the Nets. (To be continued......)
