Chapter 668 [High Score and Status]
There are various performances at halftime, with cheerleaders dancing, mascot dunks, and celebrities singing.
Zhang reasonably analyzed the situation: "As long as Wang Jun guarantees playing time in the second half, it is easy to break the 42-point record set by Chamberlain in the 1962 Star Game, and I think he can score 50+." ”
Yu Jia said with a smile: "If Wang Jun is elected, he will be the second MVP of the Star Game in his career, and he has won soft honors since he entered the league, leaving behind all the stars of the same year, including James." The only active player who can compete with him is Duncan. ”
Zhang said with a smile: "Five seasons have locked in the NBA Hall of Fame and the status of the top 50 stars. ”
"Not only." Yu Jia paused and said, "I think he can now rank in the top 20 in history." ”
Earlier in the third quarter, Yao Ming became the protagonist of the entertainment, and once again shot a three-pointer, this time on the spot.
In order to better open up space, Yao Ming also began to practice the three-point shot in the middle of the team, and if he wants to win the championship, he has to change, not just play low.
When the referee blew the whistle to interrupt the game, Yao Ming also passed the ball to Jet Li on the sidelines, and the kung fu superstar laughed and passed the ball to the referee without throwing a three-point play.
8 minutes and 47 seconds, Yao Ming played a wonderful performance in the offense, after winning the ball on the left side, he quickly turned around and threw off Howard, the physical fitness of the monster was good, and the pursuit of defense formed a close body under the basket, but Yao Ming stopped and then turned around on vacation, Shanghai Tango shook the monster so that he couldn't find the north, so he could only stop the waist and hold Yao Ming.
Both are the league's hottest super centers, and Yao Ming's stats tend to have the upper hand when it comes to matchups, and he is excellent on offense. Howard leans more defensively.
The West still can't catch up with the score, and the Eastern stars are even more powerful. There are also pitchers on the periphery who can open up space.
Four minutes later, Wang Jun returned to the court, and Nash and Boozer had obvious holes in their defense. was beaten 14-3 in a wave and widened the score again.
Wang Jun reduced his shots, but still made two three-pointers in the third quarter, bringing the number of three-pointers in a single game to 12. With the addition of a driving layup, he broke Chamberlain's record for 44 points.
In the final quarter, Paul scored a jumper, and Stoudemire scored a continuous dunk after a run, especially a dunk that forced Howard, which was very domineering. Nowitzki also played. Hit a three-pointer and a layup.
The West has never been able to chase the point difference, as long as the two-guard defense is deployed, there will be loopholes.
James made a cameo appearance at the No. 4 position, Wang Jun, Ray Allen, and Joe Johnson's three outside shooting points, plus Howard's rebounding and covering air cuts, and the Eastern offense was unguardable.
Wang Jun hit his 13th three-pointer after two minutes of play, and hit two steps from beyond the three-point line with his trademark stop-and-go step back in the counterattack.
After that, Wang Jun broke through during the counterattack and caused Xiao Si to foul, and he hit both free throws.
At 4:15, James countered and missed. Wang Jun grabbed the rebound in the front court, forced Paul to foul, hit both free throws, and scored the 51st point.
At the end of the final 2 minutes of the game. Wang Jun sent two more easy assists, attracting the defense and then sharing the ball, and Ray Allen received the ball and shot. Hit two three-pointers in a row!
The West was beaten out of temper in the final quarter, and finally won the East 168-126.
Wang Jun made 17 of 26 shots. He was 13-of-19 from three-point range and 4-of-4 from the free-throw line. He finished with 51 points, 3 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 steal.
Wang's 13 three-pointers exceeded the player's three-pointer in a single game in the regular season. He scored a record number of shots and equaled the all-time All-Star Game of 17 shots, one fewer than Barry in 1967 and Jordan in 2003.
James also played well, with 25 points, 8 rebounds and 9 assists; Ray Allen played just 18 minutes, shooting 10-of-14, 5-of-9 from three-point range and 3-of-5 from the free-throw line to finish with 28 points, two rebounds, one assist and two steals.
The two men in the East made 18 three-pointers, the team made 22 three-pointers, and the West made 6-of-19 three-pointers.
Wang Jun won the MVP of the All-Star Game for the second time in his career, and he deservedly so.
At the ceremony, NBA commissioner David Stern thanked New Orleans for its efforts in hosting the All-Star.
Wang Jun delivered an acceptance speech: "Thank you teammates for the help I have given, without your selfless passing, I would not have been able to score so many goals, and we played a wonderful game. ”
The Eastern Stars defeated the Western Stars for the fourth year in a row, proving once again that the quality of the stars is more important than the quantity.
The so-called strong west and weak east are actually too concentrated in the stars, all of them are in several teams, and there are more bad teams. The strength of the western region is relatively average, and the difference between four and ten is not big, and the others are also rotten.
At the press conference, Western coach Scott acknowledged Wang's strength. "He's not a player you can defend one-on-one, and there are so many shooting spots in the East that you can't cover anyone. He's shooting too accurately, he's got a lot of power, and he's got great footwork, and it's very difficult to stop him. ”
Nowitzki lamented: "He's been so shocking, he's been hitting shots and he's had fantastic dunks. Although the All-Star Game is entertainment, he can stand up to the whole team by himself. ”
Paul said: "You saw the way he opened the show, right? Today's Wang Jun can't be prevented by anyone. ”
Eastern players are also full of praise for Wang, who is a serious competitor this season, and both Pierce and Ray Allen consider him the best player to combine the current team.
ESPN experts commented on the performance of all the players.
Kobe Bryant, who played two minutes and got only one rebound, had the lowest D- rating, and Yao Ming and Duncan also had terrible D+ ratings, and they didn't look like they were going to play All-Stars.
The lowest-rated people in the East are Jamison and Rashid, who have received D-rated ratings for their lack of presence.
Billups and Hamilton didn't play much time either, and the Pistons trio weren't fit for an exhibition game and didn't play with much spirit.
Among the players, Wang Jun, James, and Allen are A+, and experts believe that they dominated the court and made the game one-sided.
In the coach competition, Rivers beat Scott. ESPN felt that Scott's tactics were poor and he couldn't organize an effective counterattack.
The discussion among online fans was very lively, and even a scolding war began.
"With Bryant out and the West not even a shooting guard, what's the big deal about scoring 51 points against the air defense? The west did not fight seriously at all. ”
"Yes, because Kobe didn't beat Wang Jun to score so many points, Wang Jun was afraid of Kobe, so he won as soon as he beat the Lakers, and he scored 75 points in one game, and he was embarrassed to win."
"Blow it. Blowing Wang Jun has become a common practice in China. Then blow it well. Wang Jun is the future of China, a symbol of China, a business card, with his blood on the red flag, a great man in China, omnipotent; He can Ling Bo micro-step, descend the dragon eighteen palms, and even kryptonite can't restrain him. Let's blow it well, blow him into the sky, and when he falls, it's good to fall him to death, anyway, people have insurance. ”
"Wang Jun is a real MVP! There's no need to fight with those dogs, our prince never scolds. ”
Even if he won the World Championships, there are still some people in China who scold Yao Ming for being stupid and Wang Jun for being a tumor. With a score of 51, I feel that praising him is blowing, and this kind of "low-key" person doesn't know what he usually thinks in his head.
In any case, Wang Jun and Yao Ming play basketball well, which will make foreigners look up to all Chinese.
The status of Chinese players in the NBA is getting higher and higher.
