Chapter 379: Unstoppable Newcomer
"Hey, man, it's a beautiful move" Howard, who had just been shaken away, did not look embarrassed, but pretended to be surprised and said to Gao Dazhuang.
"Your defense is also very good" In the face of the opponent's kindness, Gao Dazhuang of course responded politely.
"Uh, are you laughing at me?" Howard touched his chin and said "dissatisfied".
"Of course not, you're the league's No. 1 center" is the truth in Gao Dazhuang's heart, Howard's super physical fitness allows him to always maintain a strong deterrent under the basket, and his fast defense is a headache for a breakthrough guard like Gao Dazhuang.
The Eastern All-Stars had just scored, and the Western All-Stars immediately launched a counterattack.
Sure enough, "Warcraft" Howard, who had just been deceived by Gao Dazhuang with a "fake fax shot", immediately showed his tough side under the basket.
I saw that he suddenly burst out under the basket, and after resisting the Eastern center Chandler to force out the offensive space, he pulled up on the spot and smashed the ball into the basket with both hands.
With a "clang", the "Warcraft" hung the basket with both hands, and this blow caused the basket to shake for a while, and it also made the fans at the scene scream constantly.
122:108
"How's this dunk?" Howard, who had just made a big show, happily ran to the tall man to "show off" and showed off the strong muscles of his hands.
Howard was pleased with the apparently tall and strong answer of "Domineering Exposed", and the smug smile on his face said it all.
Eastern Conference All-Star Team Offense.
James controls the ball near the free-throw line due to his tremendous deterrent. So he caught the attention of at least two defenders with the ball head-on.
At this time, the tall and strong was sliding to the baseline at all costs and went around the three-point line on one side, while Paul, who was defending him, was blocked by Wade's cover.
When James crossed the ball to the tall man who had just run beyond the three-point line, defender Wade was at least 2 meters away from the tall man.
Of course, Gao Dazhuang will not let go of this excellent opportunity, with a sound of "brush", the knife in his hand falls, and the tall and strong fixed-point three-point hit.
120:111
With this three-point of tall and strong, the difference between the two sides on the court was narrowed to within ten points.
James, who had a "beautiful" assist, gave a thumbs up to the tall man again.
"Hey, help you win the MVP of this game," said the tall man who passed by James' side at this time, smiling and whispering.
"Oh? Then we're going to win this game first," James replied with the same smile.
So far in the game, Durant of the Western All-Star team has scored 33 points. And Paul's 17 points and 16 assists are also very impressive.
The brightest thing for the Eastern Stars is James' 26 points, 8 rebounds and 7 assists. But the MVP generally belongs to the winning side, so if James wants to win the MVP, the premise is to lead the Eastern All-Star team to victory.
"Defend, defend" Eastern Conference All-Star players shouted in discord. Always remind your teammates to move.
"When". At this time, Durant chose to pull three points on the spot under James' tough defense. However, his shot bounced off the basket with james' interference.
But the ball didn't pop far away, and it was grabbed by Howard, the center of the Western All-Star team, who was killed under the basket, and Howard, who won the rebound in the frontcourt, took advantage of the situation with a one-handed dunk. Almost all over the head of Eastern Conference All-Star center Chandler smashed the ball into the basket.
With a "bang", with Howard's dunk, the Western All-Stars once again widened the difference to more than ten points, and after the goal, Howard waved his hands very excitedly, and looked at the tall and strong from time to time.
122:111
The pace of attack and defense on the field became faster and faster, and the eastern troops went on the offensive.
It was still James who was in control of the ball, and the tall and strong was running in circles, looking for offensive opportunities.
With a "beep", Gao Dazhuang had just received James's through ball, when the referee's whistle suddenly sounded.
"Defensive fouls, free throws," the referee said with a blank face pointing at Paul.
“WHAT? NO, NO, NO" Paul immediately stepped forward to explain something to the referee.
In fact, this ball is tall and quite smart, and at the same time as Paul steals and hits his hand, the tall and strong heel pad, then makes a shooting gesture and throws the ball to the rebound, thus creating a free throw opportunity.
"Brush" and "brush" twice, tall and strong two penalties are all hit.
122:113
The Western All-Stars immediately launched a counterattack, Paul drove the ball quickly, and after reaching the top of the arc, passed the ball to Durant on the wing, Durant did not make too many adjustments, and once again faced James's close defense and forced a shot.
"When" Durant's shot bounced off the basket again, James took the rebound.
Immediately after that, James drove the ball forward at high speed, and at least three Western Conference All-Star players pinched him from different angles as he stepped into the paint field.
After the breakthrough was blocked, James did not attack, but threw the ball to the tall man who followed behind him.
"Bang" was already rushing into the three-point line of tall and strong suddenly took a small step after receiving the ball, the whole person moved back to the three-point line, and before Paul made up for the defense, he made a decisive three-point shot.
With a "brush", Gao Dazhuang's shooting percentage today was surprisingly high, adding 3 points to the Eastern All-Star team again.
10 points in a row! It was the 10th straight point scored by Gao Dazhuang after being substituted in the fourth quarter.
However, soon, after two consecutive misses, the "scoring champion" Durant finally hit a difficult step-back jumper in front of James and scored his 35th point of the game.
124:115
It was less than five minutes before the end of the game.
"Pop" Tall and Strong cut in from the flank and passed the ball to his teammate Carmelo Anthony under the basket, originally intended to play a cover with him, receive the pass back and then slip to the baseline to attack.
However, Anthony had no intention of returning the pass after receiving the pass from the tall and strong, and despite facing the bag of Griffin and Howard behind him, Anthony still chose to play hard.
"When" avoided the joint block of the two major inside lines in the west. But Anthony's super step-back jumper also lost his crosshairs, and it was still far away, and the falling basketball only hung on the edge of the basket.
Just when Griffin and Howard turned around and were about to grab the ball, there was a "cluster" sound, and the tall and strong suddenly came out of the bottom line, and held the ball in his arms as soon as he landed, and at the moment he landed, he turned 180 degrees and leaned back, and jumped directly.
With a "brush", the tall and strong hit a surprising backward jumper.
124:117
It seems that the scoring frenzy of tall and strong is not over yet. He's scored 12 points in a row.
"Hey. You've got to keep an eye on this newcomer," Durant walked over to Paul with some dissatisfaction.
"He's not that easy to deal with," Paul said, looking at the tall man with a solemn face.
"He's just a rookie," Durant said emphatically, adding that the rise of tallness and strength has created a tension between the two core players of the Western Conference All-Star team.
As the game wore on, the cheers of the fans grew louder and the atmosphere on the field became more and more anxious.
"When" desperately needs to prove himself to the Western Conference All-Star starting point guard Paul. The same difficult step-back jumper bounced off the basket under the interference of the tall and strong.
In the final moments of the game. Even good players like Durant and Paul can't guarantee a shooting percentage. Now the game has gone beyond exhibition games and regular season games to be as intense as the playoffs.
The western attack missed, and the eastern part immediately launched a counterattack.
"Smack" under the strict monitoring of the other party. James finally received the basketball, but at this time, Durant and Kobe immediately pounced on James and stuck to James, and James is currently struggling.
At this moment, Gao Dazhuang suddenly appeared next to James, James handed the ball to Gao Dazhuang with understanding, and also blocked Paul, who was following behind Gao Dazhuang.
However, the tall and strong who got rid of Paul's defense was just about to attack, and at this moment, Kobe, who was extremely experienced, suddenly changed his defense and blocked in front of the tall and strong.
"Attack" But at this time, there was only one thought in Gao Dazhuang's mind, that is, attack, not waiting for Kobe to settle down, and Gao Dazhuang suddenly performed a probe after receiving the ball.
Kobe Bryant also reacted very quickly, almost subconsciously taking a step forward to block.
"Peng" can be at the moment when Kobe Bryant advanced, tall and strong with a heavy shoulder, the two had a direct collision between flesh and flesh, tall and strong at this time showed a strong confrontation ability, while knocking back Kobe, tall and strong with the help of the back jump shot.
With a "brush", the tall and strong shot once again accurately passed through the center of the net with a beautiful parabola.
At the same time, the referee's whistle sounded.
"What?" Kobe Bryant questioned the referee with some "atmosphere", while the players of the Eastern Conference All-Star team quickly gathered around the tall man to congratulate.
"Good boy" James patted his tall and strong head excitedly, and even Spoelstra, the head coach of the Eastern All-Star Team on the sidelines, couldn't help but show an expression of appreciation, of course, his mood is complicated, such a terrible "player" will pose a great threat to his Heat.
"Brush" with the tall and strong free throw, after scoring 15 points in a row, he also chased the difference between the two sides to only 4 points.
…
With 2:49 left before the end of the game, Griffin, a Western Conference All-Star team, scored a strong basket.
With 2:05 left before the end of the game, Anthony of the Eastern Conference All-Stars hit a half-volley.
With 1:48 left before the end of the game, Kobe Bryant, an All-Star team in the West, hit a jumper.
With 1:20 left before the end of the game, the tall man added two more points to the All-Stars in the East with a free throw.
128:124
The game became more and more intense, and the "cluster" was tall and strong after several consecutive backs, and suddenly cut into the inside line from Paul's flank, and the difference in height and strength made Paul unable to completely stare at this "newcomer".
After the breakthrough, the tall and strong jumped into the inside line at the same time, but threw the ball violently with both hands to James who cut into the inside line from the other side.
James stood up to Durant's defense and "shot arrows", but with a "dang" sound, James missed the attack.
But the rebound was grabbed by Anthony, who was ambushed under the basket, and Anthony attacked the interior again, and with a "snap", Anthony's hook hand was fanned out by Howard.
But the ball was still in the hands of the Eastern All-Stars, James intercepted Howard's block, James bowed down and attacked again, no, just when everyone thought James was going to attack, he chose to pass.
"Pop" James shook the ball hard, and the ball came to the tall and strong hands outside the three-point line, while Paul, who was defending him, was helping to defend inside.
"Whew" The unguarded tall man took a deep breath, glanced up at the basket, and shot a three-point shot.
The ball flew straight to the basket in a beautiful arc, and with a "brush" sound, a beautiful sound, the tall and strong hit the three-point again.
128:127
With 35 seconds left before the end of the game, both sides had one chance to attack.
The shouts of fans, the sound of sneakers scraping against the floor and the sound of players fighting each other in what was the most intense All-Star Game in recent years.
The referee's whistle suddenly remembered that the Western All-Stars had just played a delicate match and passed the ball smoothly to Howard on the inside, and Carmelo Anthony fouled Howard in desperation.
However, free throws are obviously not Howard's strong point, and "Warcraft" stood stiffly on the free throw line and shot stiffly, and the result was a blunt two shots.
With 15 seconds left before the end of the game, the Western All-Stars led by one point, but the Eastern All-Stars controlled the ball, and the victory or defeat was between this one-goal goal.
After a short timeout, players from both sides were back on the pitch.
"Snap" the tall and strong serve, passed the ball to James, and as everyone expected, the final shot of the Eastern Conference All-Stars was controlled by James.
The sound of "Peng" flesh colliding directly with flesh, after receiving the ball, James began to dribble with his back and forcibly squeeze Durant.
Durant put on a straight face and used all his strength to resist James, James's advance was very aggressive, and several hidden elbows made Durant's chest hurt even more.
Under James's continuous squeezing, Durant was forced to take several steps back one after another, and at this time, Griffin of the Western All-Star team saw this and immediately abandoned his defensive players and moved over to help defend.
James also changed his move at the same time, and as soon as he retracted his strength, he turned around with Durant, and wanted to break through from the other side away from Griffin.
However, just as Griffin and Durant were about to respond, James moved to the side again, only to see him suddenly dunk the ball, followed by a step back, quickly widening the distance from Durant, and also deceived Griffin, who was making up the defense.
James, who pulled out the offensive space, jumped up and wanted to shoot, but "no" Durant and Griffin pounced at the same time to try to stop James' shot.
However, James, who had already jumped, did not choose to shoot, but threw the ball inside with both hands.
Because the moment he turned around, he saw the tall and strong who cut into the inside line at high speed, and the tall and strong at this time exerted his speed to the limit, and threw off Paul's close defense behind him with a turn.
With a "snap", the ball responded to the sound, and the tall and strong man who received the ball could feel the "weight" of the ball.
"Win or lose" Tall and strong jumped high with the help of impact, lifted the ball with one hand, and flew sideways to the basket with a 45-degree inclination.
"Stop him" as Durant roared loudly on the side, and Howard, the "monster" sitting under the basket, also pulled up on the spot almost at the same time, spreading his arms to meet the arrival of the tall and strong.
All the people in the Toyota Center Arena focused their eyes on this ball, on this ball that would determine the outcome of the game. (To be continued......)
PS: Wade is really sharp today! Great love!
