Chapter 195: All-Star Game (Part II)
The first is the Skills Competition.
In the preliminaries the night before, all the players failed to hit the ball into the basket, leaving fans disappointed with their skills.
Guo Allen and Zeng Lingxu entered last night's final.
After the start of the game, Zeng Lingxu, who was the first to appear, was surprised by his wonderful performance, except for the horizontal pass into the basket which took 4 times to complete, all the items including the ground pass into the basket were completed at one time, and the 39.9 seconds score was more than 20 seconds less than Guo Allen's preliminaries.
However, as the captain of the national youth team, Guo Allen will certainly not admit defeat easily, in the cheers of a group of members of the national youth team,
Guo Allen passed all rounds in the events such as hitting the ground and passing into the basket, 3-pointers, and horizontal passes into the basket, and finally completed all the events with a time of 32.7 seconds, and became the king as he wished.
In the three-point competition, Zhu Yanxi lived up to the expectations of Beijing fans and won the three-point final with 17 points.
In the eye-catching slam dunk contest, according to the results of the preliminary round of the slam dunk contest on Saturday, the order of appearance in the final of the slam dunk contest was Yan Pengfei of the Shanxi team, Zhao Tailong, the defending champion and Zhai Xiaochuan of the Beijing team.
The judges for today's slam dunk contest finals include renowned commentators Sun Zhengping and Zhang Weiping, figure skating world champions Pang Qing/Tong Jian, and rocket veteran Brooks.
In the first round, Yan Pengfei's big windmill dunk was not dunked; He then tossed the ball near the left baseline and dunked it into the basket with both hands behind his back. In the first round, Yan Pengfei's score was 41 points.
Zhao Tailong played, the defending champion dribbled to the basket and scored with both hands, and Zhao Tailong scored 42 points with this dunk.
The eye-catching Zhai Xiaochuan appeared on the stage, and Zhu Yanxi and Marbury stood on both sides of the free throw line with the slogan "Basketball is life". Zhai Xiaochuan's first dunk was unsuccessful, and after the second dunk leap slogan, he dunked the ball into the basket with his left hand.
This deduction received a high score of 49 points.
In the second round, Lu Xiaoming stood on the restricted area line facing the basket, and when Yan Pengfei did not dunk the basket with one hand in the first two dunks, the Shanxi team teenager tried to leap over Lu Xiaoming for the third time and poured the ball into the basket with both hands.
This deduction scored 44 points, and Yan Pengfei's total score was 85 points.
Cho Tae-ryong took the stage, and a huge sponsor shoebox was carried into the room, but instead of flying over the shoebox, the defending champion placed his own special shoes on the shoebox. Zhao Tailong gave his shoes to the crowd after completing the dunk, and the Fujian team scored 44 points, and his total score was 86 points.
Zhai Xiaochuan reappeared, wearing a blue T-shirt that "Chinese can fly", and he performed a one-handed dunk with his left hand in the air and changing hands.
Perhaps because of the nervousness, Zhai Xiaochuan did not hit the first 3 buttons.
With 10 seconds left, Zhai Xiaochuan changed his dunk action and won the dunk with a highly creative 360-degree waist turn.
This amazing dunk scored 45 points, and in the end, Zhai Xiaochuan's total score was 94 points, and he was named the "new" dunk king.
After the end of the major individual competitions, the second half of the All-Star Game officially began.
At the beginning of the second half, Marbury, a super foreign aid of the Northern Stars, burst inside and outside, scored 8 points in a row, and instantly equalized the score.
Because of his outstanding skills and super popularity, Marbury was undoubtedly selected by the fans as the starting point guard of the North team.
And Marbury didn't disappoint his fans, and Marbury's excellent play in the second half allowed the Northern Stars to firmly control the situation on the court.
Marbury used his signature burst points to create opportunities for his teammates, and both Yang Ming and Li Xiaoxu benefited from it.
When the opponent is marking his teammates, Marbury can take the initiative to step up and steal points. He forced a break through the middle to make a layup and made a big impression.
It was with Marbury's activity that the North took the initiative in the score and the situation.
"Tut" With the referee's whistle, the Southern Stars still sent a tall and strong team who was eager to try, and the reappearance of the tall and strong also pushed the atmosphere of the scene to **.
Gao Dazhuang quickly faced Marbury after he came on the court, and dealing with a strong opponent would make Gao Dazhuang very excited, although it was only an All-Star Game, but as a "rookie" Gao Dazhuang still unconsciously played more and more seriously.
Marbury made a pull-up jump shot from beyond the three-point line, but the ball bounced off the basket with the interference of the tall man.
But a tacit understanding was formed between Marbury and Leegan, who took advantage of the mistakes of the Southern Stars to quickly launch a fast attack, and Leegen also completed the team's offense with a one-handed dunk full of ornamentation.
However, the Southern Stars also quickly counterattacked, and under Wang Zhizhi's intentional matchmaking, Gao Da Zhuang made an empty cut layup to recover 2 points for the team.
But just as he was tall and strong and ready to face Marbury, Marbury was suddenly replaced.
With the CBA playoffs looming, the Beijing team has a golden opportunity to make a historic breakthrough this season.
Marbury's joining is an important reason why the Beijing team can achieve transformation this season, from 8th in the regular season last season, to 2nd in a rocket-like pace, the arrival of Ma's political commissar has really given Beijing the confidence to impact the championship.
During his time in Beijing, Marbury averaged 24.2 points, 5.3 rebounds, 6.4 assists and 2.2 steals per game.
Therefore, Min Lulei, as the coach of the Northern Star Team, is quite cautious in the use of Marbury, and does not want to overuse the old horse's physical strength on the more entertaining All-Stars.
This has also led to a large shrinkage in Marbury's All-Star this year, both in terms of playing time and data, which is a considerable regret for fans who love Marbury.
You must know that in the All-Star Game last year, Marbury scored 30 points and 10 assists, and was indisputably named MVP. In last year's All-Star Game, Marbury scored 30 points again, but his team lost by a narrow margin of one point, which also made Marbury miss out on the MVP.
In the past season, because Marbury's team was limited and unable to make the playoffs, the All-Star became a stage for Marbury to vent.
But it's understandable that Marbury, who is facing playoff challenges this season, chose to recuperate on the All-Star team to preserve his strength.
After Marbury went off the court, although Gao Dazhuang was very regretful in his heart, he was not soft on offense.
Now he hit a three-pointer from the outside, and then he made a steal and a fast break to give the Southern Stars the advantage again.
At the end of the third quarter, the Southern Stars led the Northern Stars 92-87.
After the start of the final quarter, Gao Dazhuang was still left on the court by the coach.
Reagan and Hudson each hit three-pointers from the outside, and the tenacious Northern Stars tied the score at 97.
But neither Leegan, nor Hudson, nor the rest of the Northern Stars team could stop the tall and strong breakaway, and their sharp breakthroughs also led the team's offense.
With the outstanding performance of tall and strong, the Southern Stars team has also maintained the initiative on the field.
With 20 seconds left in the game, the Southern Stars led by six points.
Gao Dazhuang broke through the ball, Zhang Zhaoxu dunked with both hands to score, and then Gao Dazhuang completed another block to help Abbas complete the wonderful windmill blue.
In the end, the Southern Stars defeated the Northern Stars 122-112.
This brings this year's CBA All-Star Weekend to an end.
The "rookie" Gao Dazhuang of the Shanghai team won the Most Valuable Player (MVP) of the All-Star Game with a performance of 42 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists, which is not only the youngest player to win the All-Star Game MVP in CBA history, but also the first domestic player to win the All-Star Game MVP in the past three years.
The first time he participated in the All-Star, he won the MVP, and in the face of reporters, Gao Dazhuang bluntly said, "Actually, I didn't expect it before the game, and I'm very happy that I can get this award." Tonight, everybody was giving me a chance until the end, and my teammates were selflessly giving me the ball and making me attack, so I have to thank the big brothers in the South Division as well."
When asked about his next goal, Li Gen bluntly said, "Steadfastly play the league well and strive to lead the Shanghai team to the playoffs"
And Wang Zhizhi, who was standing on the sidelines and repeatedly played for the tall and strong in the game, also suddenly interjected: "It's really better than the blue, the absolute hope of Chinese basketball."
"Dazhi, your data today is also very good, don't you regret not winning the MVP?" A reporter asked.
Wang Zhizhi hugged his tall and strong shoulders like a big brother and replied with a smile: "I have already taken 3 of them, let's leave them to the young people to get them, haha"
