192nd All-Star Game 7
Several times in a row, Maddie singled Michael Finley, and every time he blew him up, whether it was a breakthrough or a shot, he could successfully score, which made Michael Finley a little annoyed. But I really can't prevent it, and I can't help it. Michael Finley, who had no choice, had no choice but to turn to Gary Payton next to him.
"Okay, okay, I'll help you, I'll help you!" Gary Payton said, "But don't look at me so innocently, I'll be shy!" Gary Payton was shy.
"......" Gary Payton said made Michael Finley a little confused about what to say.
"Hahaha......" A veteran like Karl Malone certainly understood the meaning of Gary Payton's words, "Okay, Gary, stop teasing him." Go and help him defend himself. ”
"Yes, yes," Gary Payton said. "Isn't that all there is to the regular season? I know what to do! ”
During the next attack of the Eastern Army, Michael Finley and Gary Payton switched places, and Gary Payton came to defend Maddie.
"Sure enough, you're here." Maddie said calmly.
"No way," Gary Payton said, "Michael, he can't stop you, it's just me, ......" Peyton paused, his eyes suddenly sharpened. "I don't want to lose yet!"
"I know," Maddie remained calm, "but I don't want to lose, but I'll admit that I'm still in trouble with you." ”
"It's good to know." Gary Payton said smugly.
"But you know." Maddie laughed, "Basketball isn't a one-man game, it's a five-person game!" Maddie struck out suddenly. Gary Payton didn't even react.
The ball went to Ratril. Sprewell's hand. Now it's Michael Finley defending him.
Michael Finley isn't top-notch at opposing ground defense, and rarely attempts risky tackles to no avail; Maybe it's the relationship between the whole team's defensive system, and it's not very aggressive when helping to defend. However, with his outstanding physical fitness, he usually swings against the opponent's most powerful striker, which also increases the difficulty of his defense to a certain extent. Now he's on one of the worst defensive teams in the Dallas Mavericks, and defense is basically not his thing. In short, it's not that he doesn't like defense, it's that he doesn't get too good at it.
And in front of him was Ratril. Prewell is his second player who hates defense. The first is a superplayer with incredible talent like Maddie, which he hates the most. The second is like Ratril. Sprewell's hard-working and physically aggressive quasi-first-class player. This type of player is even more difficult to defend than the first type, and they mostly play on their bodies. And the defense is not fatal. This is the most terrible, and since they are not the highest salary, most of the time they are players who don't give up and don't give up, the kind of players who are still fighting at the end. This kind of player is the most difficult to defend. Even if you keep beating him. He'll still get up. Looking for you to duel.
Just after being subjected to numerous Gary Payton's "shameless" defenses, Jean Ratril. Sprewell is on fire, and now Gary Payton is on guard against Maddie. He was happy to be away from defending him, and he was even happier now that he was back in his hands. So he took all his anger at Gary Payton on Michael Finley's head.
He showed Michael Finlay why he was now the new star in New York.
Michael Finley will do it all: pull dunks, backward shots and small throws, low post singles, etc., and he will also be Michael Finley's worst ball dunk. Whether it's a forced one-step breakthrough, or playing tricks, Ratrier. Sprewell is good at it, and it makes Michael Finley feel what it means to be depressed.
No matter how much you defend, you can't defend Ratrier. Spreville. Once again, Michael Finley became the stopper.
"Damn it!" In the end, not only the players on the field couldn't stand it, but even the coach couldn't stand it. Phil Jackson immediately replaced Michael Finley with Kobe. , Bryant as soon as he came up, Ratril. Sprewell withered. I don't know if it was too much physical exertion just now or if I saw Kobe Bryant a little timid now, anyway, his shooting percentage dropped a lot, and the score of the eastern troops' temporary lead was chased by the western troops.
Larry also noticed something was wrong on the field. Decidelessly called a timeout.
Will Ratrier. Sprewell comes on for Allen.
Back on the field, Allen is still partnering Maddie in the backcourt. Luke is still lounging on the outside.
"It's boring," said Luke, "let's play something new." ”
"What's that? You said. Maddie and Aaron said at the same time.
"Tracy, let's shoot threes for the game, it's going to be a little bit more interesting." Luke said.
"Shoot threes?" Maddie said, "Okay, how do you play?" ”
"Well, I'm going to think about it......," Luke touched his chin, "Well, let's play like this: you shoot one, I'll shoot another, and in the end we will score a goal." Luke said.
"Is it okay to use any method?" Maddie asked.
'It's okay, but it has to be three points at the end. And it must be a three-point shot approved by the referee. Luke reminded.
"No problem!"
"What are you talking about? I'm going to hear it too. Aaron poked his head over.
"Nothing," Luke replied, "Maddie and I just want to have a fight." ”
"What are you going to play? I'm coming too! Aaron said.
"Forget it, we're going to shoot threes," Luke said, "and if we add one more, there's not enough time." ”
"Wouldn't it be nice for each of you to play twice less? Let me have some fun too, I'm pretty bored too. Aaron said. Besides, I'm a point guard, and if you don't let me come, you're not going to have fun! ”
"This ...... Seems to be true! Luke realized that without Aaron's support, the two of them really couldn't play around. As long as Allen doesn't want to pass the ball, no one can stop passing the ball, including Larry, who is sitting on the field.
"Okay, let's add you one." Luke said.
"Then change the rules: we play three goals, and whoever scores three goals first wins!" Maddie said.
"Okay, the one who loses is responsible for controlling the ball and passing, and the other two people are responsible for throwing!" Aaron said.
"But how about me and Maddie come first? Alan. Luke said.
"No problem! I'll pass the ball for you! Aaron said.
"Allen ran to the baseline and waited for the serve.
"He must have done it on purpose!" Luke said.
"Luke, don't look at it either." Maddie said.
Luke looked up and saw the current data log. Now Allen holds the top scorer in the East. Maddie and Carter followed, followed by Luke. If Luke and Maddy shoot three-pointers, they could overtake Allen in the end. Larry's current assignment of Aaron also has a certain meaning of scoring points. Allen hasn't won an All-Star MVP so far, and now he's the closest he's got to this award, and he's going to have to work hard.
"Well, Aaron turned out to be so insidious, I saw through him!" Luke feigned anger.
"Okay, don't make your boss angry, your life won't be easy in the future!" Maddie said as he patted Luke's head.
"Got it, now let's start the game!"
The Eastern Army attacked. Allen dribbles the ball up front.
"Who's going to start first?" Aaron asked.
"I'll do it first!" Maddie said.
"Okay, you come first!" Allen passes the ball directly to Maddie.
Maddie is still facing Gary Payton.
Just now, Phil Jackson replaced Antonio Davis, who had been performing poorly, and replaced him with Kidd.
In this way, Gary Payton went up to play point guard, and Kobe Bryant played small forward.
Maddie is not afraid of anyone. Including Gary Payton, it's just that it's a little difficult to shoot in front of him, not that he can't shoot.
Maddie calculates the pace of the offense and how Gary Payton will defend.
"Why, don't you dare to come? Tracy, this is not like you! Gary Payton said as he watched Maddie linger there for a long time.
"Hmph." Maddie snorted directly, stopped thinking about those things, and decided to go straight to it. Maddie is quite confident in her feel and speed.
Maddie is on and starts with his most powerful explosiveness.
This also surprised Gary Payton. He also knew that Maddie's breakthrough was very scary, and if he let his first step pass, there would be nothing left.
But Gary Payton had his own way, using his own prediction to predict Maddie's route, and then took two steps back to stop Maddie. Even if he can't defend it, there are opportunities for fouls that keep him from getting off the ball. At least the shot won't be accurate.
But he didn't know about the match between Maddie and Luke, who had no intention of getting inside from the start. Just trying to pull away from the defense.
After seeing Gary Payton retreat, Maddy decisively pulled the ball back, exited beyond the three-point line, and started shooting.
In this kind of shooting in a big gap, Maddie still won't be off, and it's easy to score.
"Damn it!" Gary Payton was still a little guilty of his misjudgment, but quickly caught up. After hastily scoring two points, the western troops retreated again.
As soon as Gary Payton came up this time, he followed Maddie, "I'm not going to let you shoot again, Tracy!" Gary Payton said with a cold glint in his eyes.
"Relax, Gary," Maddie said, "it's not time for me to attack. ”
"Don't lie to me!" Gary Payton didn't believe Maddie's words at all. "You can't break through my defenses! This kind of trash talk won't work for me! ”
"See for yourself, whose hands the ball goes!" Maddie pointed.
Gary Payton looked at Maddie's hand, and the ball really didn't come to Maddie's side, but flew in the opposite direction of Maddie, which was Luke's position. Now it's Luke's turn. (To be continued......)
