Chapter 206: All-Star Weekend (9)
Seeing that the rebound on his head made Wang Meng, the guard, run away, Howard was suddenly furious, and the little goodwill that he had generated because Wang Meng assisted him to dunk was instantly gone, watching Durant and Wang Meng high-five over there, Howard and Kobe Bryant stood behind and looked at each other angrily.
Wang Meng didn't care who he offended at this time, anyway, it was not easy to brush his assists to double digits.
Wang Meng's current stats are ten assists, five rebounds, two steals and one block, and no points. The time is now four minutes in the second quarter, and Wang Meng has two quarters plus eight minutes left.
"Wang Meng's pass today is really accurate, and he has got ten assists so far, and the amazing thing is that this guy hasn't made a single mistake." Smith shook his head, feeling very incredible at Wang Meng's performance.
"But can any of you tell me why this guy can't score?" Barkley said the doubts in everyone's hearts with a big grin, "Wang Meng's scoring ability is even stronger than his assist ability in my opinion, but when he performs like an All-Star, he doesn't shoot once, it's really embarrassing." ”
The game continued, although Wang Meng had offended Kobe and Howard on the court, he had befriended Durant, plus Gasol on the court, but Wang Meng's side was more powerful, so the ball was still in Wang Meng's hands, Wang Meng naturally would not let go of the opportunity, continuously broke into the interior line, and constantly assisted Durant and Gasol to score, not only that, but when Kobe and Howard had two vacant seats, Wang Meng would also pass the ball to them. However, Kobe Bryant didn't appreciate it, his face was pale, but he was helpless, the bottom line serve is generally a forward, and the two forwards on the court have a better relationship with Wang Meng, when both of them asked for the ball together, both Gasol and Durant passed the ball to Wang Meng.
Gasol is Wang Meng's teammate, and it is understandable to pass the ball to Wang Meng, Kobe Bryant can't figure out why this guy Durant also likes to give the ball to Wang Meng. In fact, this principle is very simple, Durant is not a fool, when handing over the ball to Wang Meng, in most cases, as long as Durant has a good opportunity, Wang Meng will pass the ball back, and it is Durant who scores in the end, but after handing it over to Kobe, Durant doesn't even have a chance to touch the ball, Kobe only thinks about how to put the basketball in the basket.
In this way, three minutes into the second quarter, Wang Meng brushed up 4 assists again, including Gasol once, Durant twice, Howard once, although Kobe Bryant and Howard had opportunities, but the former did not grasp it, and the latter staged a dunk again.
With 14 assists, 6 rebounds, 3 steals and 2 blocks, Wang Meng was replaced by Paul with 5 minutes left in the second quarter, causing a cheer from the fans on the court.
"The rest of this quarter is estimated to be nothing short of Wang Meng, 14 assists and 6 rebounds in the half, Wang Meng is going against the sky, if this efficiency continues, Wang Meng estimates that 20 assists or even 30 assists in a single game are not a dream." Smith looked at Wang Meng's statistics and said: "Today in the All-Star Weekend, Wang Meng did not show us his rich scoring ability, but showed his excellent passing ability to the world, and he used his performance to tell the world that he is the strongest point guard in the league." ”
"That's right, compared with Wang Meng, his compatriot is more than a step behind, although the outbreak some time ago seemed to be very violent, but then it didn't work, especially in this rookie challenge, which was expected by people, but only got 2 points and 1 assist." Barkley shook his head and suddenly mentioned Jeremy Lin, who was watching the excitement on the sidelines, and Jeremy Lin burst into tears, what is the matter with me?
Looking at his own data, Wang Meng sat on the bench, but he was sitting on pins and needles, which can't be blamed on him, although he has got 14 assists, but his teammate Durant's performance is very eye-catching, with the help of Wang Meng's assist, Durant shot 9 of 14 in the second quarter of the game, and scored a game-high 24 points in the half, which had to make Wang Meng feel the pressure, 24 points in the half, and it was easy to get 40 points in the whole game.
With 40 points to take care of, Wang Meng is estimated to be the MVP of 20 assists and 10 rebounds.
"More assists needed!" The king who was present gritted his teeth and said in his heart.
The second quarter of the game ended quickly, and at halftime, Wang Meng was immediately targeted by a group of reporters.
"Mr. Wang Meng, may I ask why you didn't make a shot in this game? You're giving assists to your teammates and helping them score all over the court, what the hell is going on? The reporter asked.
Wang Meng rolled his eyes, what could it be? The cheat daddy's system makes me not shoot, how dare I vote for one? Although he thought so in his heart, Wang Meng also said good things, "I think All-Star Weekend is a stage, everyone has the right to show their most beautiful side on this stage, as a point guard, I hope I can use my efforts to discover these beauty, and I will try to do so in the second half." ”
"What a selfless person." The reporters were immediately moved by Wang Meng's noble feelings, and they couldn't imagine that there were such selfless players in the league now.
Soon, after halftime, Wang Meng was put on the field again, how could a player who likes to help others be unpopular?
But soon, after coming on the field, Wang Meng found that the assist was really not so easy to brush.
After two quarters of the game, the players in the East have almost adapted to Wang Meng's way of playing, it's very simple, this girl won't shoot by himself at all, so it's good for him not to pass the ball to others.
Everyone stared at their defensive players and Wang Meng's passing route, Wang Meng didn't dare to pass the ball even if he wanted to, and he broke through alone, and no one could score smoothly.
Two minutes into the game, instead of sending an assist, Wang Meng was robbed twice because of a forced pass.
"Damn it!" Wang Meng ran out of moves, look at his technical statistics, 14 assists, 6 rebounds, 3 steals, 2 blocks, which will add 2 more turnovers.
"Wang Meng, are you passing the ball? Otherwise, it's okay to attack. Rondo kept laughing and constantly provoking Wang Meng.
Wang Meng gritted his teeth and looked at Rondo viciously, "You forced me!" ”
"What can you do? You're going to bite me again? Rondo smiled, handed the basketball to James, and retreated far beyond the three-point line.
James held the ball, looked at the skinny Durant, and immediately smiled very happily, "Boy, are my muscles beautiful?" ”
Durant didn't speak, but subconsciously looked at his arms that were a lot smaller than James.
"I don't need any skills to break through you, as long as that's it, it's fine." Saying that, James didn't make any feints, just simply protected the ball on the side to avoid Durant's steal, and then slammed his head inside.
"I'm rubbing! I'm not going to play with you anymore! Durant just carried it a little and gave way to the position, Durant, who had suffered several losses, of course knew that he couldn't stop James, anyway, this was just an All-Star Game, so what if James was a brute and broke in, it was too uncomfortable to carry this monster by himself.
James felt the pressure on his body suddenly lessen, he knew that Durant had given up on following himself, and when he glanced ahead, he found that Griffin and Howard had no intention of making up defenses, and he couldn't help but laugh out loud in his heart, because he knew that this offense was about to turn into a beautiful dunk.
James just had such an idea, his hand suddenly lightened, he looked down, but saw that the basketball in his hand should have belonged to him was gone, he quickly stopped, looked back, but saw Wang Meng holding the basketball towards the half court.
Seeing Wang Meng's successful steal, Durant was overjoyed and immediately followed Wang Meng to the inside, at this time he was extremely glad that he had let go of James, otherwise he would not have such a good opportunity to break fast this time.
After James was stealed by Wang Meng, the only chance to return to defense was Rondo, who was standing at the top of the three-point arc just now and watching the excitement, facing Wang Meng and Durant, the two evil men, Rondo, who was only more than one meter eight tall, looked very pitiful.
Wang Meng calculated Durant's pace and gently threw the ball into the sky, Durant jumped up to catch the ball and completed the windmill dunk in the air, and fell to the ground with a long roar.
"I'll wipe it!" James glanced gloomily at Rondo in the background. "You'd better lead him away."
"I'm trying to pull him away, too." Rondo looked very innocent, "But Wang Meng, this guy doesn't guard against my three points at all, and runs directly to you, what can I do?" ”
Although Rondo is very vigorous this season, averaging two double-doubles per game, his weaknesses are still very obvious, the first point is too poor long-range shooting ability, although he has increased his three-point shooting times this year, but the shooting percentage is still not flattering, and the second weakness is the free throw, Rondo's free throws are inferior to many centers.
In the next offense, Wang Meng let go, he didn't control the ball anymore, and after handing the ball to Kobe, he drilled directly into the muscular inside, he wanted to open it, anyway, the All-Stars in the East didn't give him a chance to pass the ball, so he simply didn't even take the ball, and waited directly on the inside to grab rebounds, so that he could brush up the number of rebounds.
After receiving the ball, Bryant looked at the positions of the others.
Durant dunked one before, which made James feel very unhappy, so this time James resisted Durant fiercely, making it difficult for Durant to receive the pass.
Howard Griffin and other inside players are no longer in Kobe's passing target, and Wang Meng, this girl, is playing with Rondo on the inside to grab the position.
"I'll do it anyway." Bryant made this decision with peace of mind, and then held the ball to prepare for the offense.
