Chapter 319: Shine brightly

After a pre-game interlude, the NBA All-Star Game began in 2009.

No matter how ups and downs the three-point shooting contest is and how magnificent the slam dunk contest is, the all-star project that everyone pays the most attention to will always be the all-star game.

Because in the All-Star Game, they can see a lot of All-Star players, fighting for victory on the court, and these All-Star players have their own style and their own popularity.

In order to watch this All-Star Game, many people also bought tickets on purpose.

The small episode before the game made the atmosphere of Zhongyu fans completely overshadow Kobe Bryant, but Kobe's fans still did not give up, they still believe that Zhongyu could not shake Kobe's position today.

This year's NBA All-Star starting lineup is-

West: Zhong Yu, Kobe, Xiao Si, Yao Ming, Anthony.

East: James, Wade, Bosh, Garnett, Howard.

Judging from this lineup, the players on both sides can't tell the difference between the advantages and disadvantages for the time being, but neither team has a real point guard, after all, the starting lineup of the NBA All-Star is ranked according to the number of votes.

Neither Chung Yu nor Kobe Bryant in the West are point guards, and Kobe Bryant may have some playmaking skills, but Chung Yu doesn't have much. James in the East is a father and a mother on the Cavaliers, and Wade is the same, both of whom can take on the responsibility of a true point guard.

The western lineup has a relatively strong attacking ability, but Yao Ming is also a discordant figure - his height is too tall.

The jump ball began, and the East won the jump ball without suspense, James controlled the ball over half court, and then prepared to fly inside for a one-handed slam.

In this case, anyway, it is also a very performative All-Star game, and everyone basically will not stop it, only Kobe Bryant rushed up, and he kind of turned the All-Star show into the NBA regular season or even the playoffs.

In desperation, James changed the dunk to a layup, but he still scored, and the East scored the first two points.

Then, the Western All-Stars began to serve, Xiao Si took the initiative to stand on the bottom line to serve, and Zhong Yu knew that this guy couldn't pass the ball to himself, so he walked over.

Sure enough, Xiao Si passed the ball to Kobe, who dribbled the ball through the half court by himself, ignoring the position of his teammates for the time being, and the All-Star Game was also a fast-paced game.

He started doing what he did in the regular season and a lot of the playoffs, intending to use his turn-over back-to-back jumper that worked. He went inside with James and immediately jumped to the ground.

Sure enough, Kobe Bryant still had some meaning to go his own way, and the basketball bounced on the basket and flew out.

The first goal was not scored, and Kobe fans were not generally disappointed, but Yao Ming on the inside snatched the rebound into the hands of the Western Stars. Then Yao Ming immediately passed the basketball out, he almost didn't have to look at the direction to know where Zhong Yu was, Zhong Yu received the pass and jumped outside the three-point line!

Zhong Yu, the final champion of this year's three-point shooting competition, chose a jump shot on the first ball of the All-Star Game.

Jumpers from beyond the three-point line.

"Huh!" Zhong Yu's jump shot landed steadily in the basket, and all of a sudden, the impact of this ball echoed everywhere in the arena. The cheers of tens of thousands of fans at the same time are really irresistible.

Zhong Yu's fans spared no effort to shout that Zhong Yu was just the first ball, and he already had an advantage in the showdown with Kobe.

At this moment, many Zhong Yu fans are also a little proud - Zhong Yu, this guy, after all, there are still people on the inside, Yao Ming and Zhong Yu are from the same country, and the relationship between the two of them is very good.

Then, the Eastern Stars went on offense.

The ball was in Wade's hands, possession of the ball across half court, and then passed to James, these two guys are completely good friends, and in the same team, the style of friends is even more full.

James, who received the pass, also wanted to perform well in the All-Star Game, although James always seems to be very selfless, but as an NBA player, who does not have such a sense of honor.

He was about to break through after receiving the pass, his first break was broken by Kobe, and the second broke to complete a one-handed slam.

James pressed his body against Kobe Bryant while feeling his strength and hollowness. The moment he found a hole in Kobe's body, the whole person accelerated in a straight line and had come to the middle line. Further down, James will be able to directly force the violent dunk.

With such a ball, most people deliberately let go of the space for James to perform, and there is nothing wrong with the performance, James is not wrong.

"Boom!" James' dunk almost knocked everyone's eardrums, and when James fell off the basket, the audience cheered wildly.

Then, the ball was back in the hands of the Western Stars.

It was still Kobe Bryant who had the ball over the half.

In the games of the star team, there are often not too many tactical surnames to speak of, and most of the time they are still allowed to play freely, looking for opportunities on their own, and five people take turns to play singles. However, Bryant intends to occupy most of the shots.

But after thinking about it, maybe it was a bit too much, he passed the ball to Xiao Si. When Xiao Si saw James's dunk, he also wanted to have one himself, so he received Kobe's pass and turned around to dunk, but at this time, Howard jumped up.

This kid wants to show his defensive ability, at least don't let some people say that his ticket is too watery.

So he jumped up and forced Xiao Si's dunk into a layup, and the layup was not yet hit.

Xiao Si's favorability towards Howard dropped greatly in an instant, and it was reduced to the extreme. Watching the basketball bounce off the side of the basket made him feel very unhappy. But at this moment, he suddenly felt the sound of the wind in his ears whirring, and then, a silver-white body rose up in the air, grabbed the basketball, and directly pressed the basketball in the direction of the basket!

"Boom!"

The basket shook violently and trembled, and then Xiao Si saw the big number five behind this guy, and his heart was half cold. ,

"Good shot!"

"Nice dunk!"

……

In an instant, the crazy cheers rang out irrationally in the entire arena, and Zhong Yu's dunk exploded the atmosphere of the whole court and pushed the atmosphere into a **.

Zhong Yu just opened, received a dunk after Yao Ming grabbed the rebound, and then, he grabbed the rebound himself, forced a dunk, and two consecutive balls made him cut five points just at the beginning.

This scoring efficiency is quite terrifying.

Unknowingly, Zhong Yu has stolen more than just Kobe's limelight......

When the Western Conference All-Stars first started, the offense was chaotic because they lacked playmaking guards, and if Paul hadn't been injured, he would have been able to string the whole team together without a play. But now Paul can't make it to the All-Star Game, and Nash hasn't been drafted an All-Star on home soil this year.

The point guard of the Western Stars, quite a few people think of Deron Williams.

However, the problem that plagues the Zen master now is how to arrange Zhong Yu and Kobe, once one point guard is replaced, the two are better the next one.

After pondering it carefully, he still let go of this idea.

For the first substitution, the Western Stars replaced Deron Williams and Yao Ming at the same time......

Although Yao Ming has huge commercial value and doesn't know how much money he made for the Rockets, his performance in the All-Star is indeed like that...... He might not really be a good fit for the All-Star game that's purely for fun.

During the All-Star Game, he didn't move fast. And the way of playing is not too flashy, and it is not the type that fans like the most.

In this way, the Western Stars replaced Yao Ming, Xiao Si, and Anthony, and replaced Duncan, Gasol, and Delon.

Staying on the court leaves two shooting guards......

So the Zen master put Kobe Bryant in the small forward position, allowing Zhong Yu to concentrate on playing point guard.

Although the definitions of a shooting guard and a small forward and even a point guard are blurring in this era, this arrangement does take care of two people.

Kobe Bryant was originally a swingman at the front.

Such a new lineup quickly attracted everyone's attention, after all, the-for-tat between Zhong Yu and Kobe Bryant is now showing some signs, and both of them are also scoring guards with a very gorgeous style of play, if they compete well, the most beneficial thing is the fans, there is no doubt about it.

The All-Star Game is a lively one.

Western Stars, the ball came to Zhong Yu's hands, and after Delon came on the court, with a point guard, Kobe Bryant couldn't attack with the ball all the time.

DeLong passes the ball to Chung, who faces Wade, holds the basketball to his right side and taps his left foot to his left.

This kind of feint didn't have much effect on Wade, but this is an All-Star, and he turns a blind eye and doesn't bother to waste his physical strength.

So, after three tentative steps, Zhong Yu forcibly accelerated, and instantly passed by Wade's side, Wade showed a helpless look behind him, and Zhong Yu accelerated and accelerated.

Zhong Yu's speed has been raised to the peak, which makes many players next to him cry out in vain, this guy's speed is so fast that they basically can't find a way to stop it.

Under such a speed bonus, Zhong Yu frantically came to the inside line, and Garnett came up to block, but he passed by Zhong Yu, and there was a reason for Zhong Yu's blocking, as well as the reason why Garnett released water slightly.

In short, Zhong Yu's right hand was already above the basket, and the basketball was slammed into the basket by him!

Another slam dunk!

Up to now, Zhong Yu's shooting rate is still 100 percent, and in the first quarter of the game, Zhong Yu has scored a total of 7 points, temporarily the most points among everyone.

After all, this guy is someone who can average close to 40 points per game, and it is understandable that he gets such a score.

So far, Jongwook was indeed the best performer in the first quarter.

After that, Jongwook also hit a two-pointer in the first quarter and went off.

After all, it is necessary to give others a chance to play, although Zhong Yu's playing time today is indispensable, but it still takes a certain amount of time for him to ease up.

Zhong Yu is gone, but no one has been able to surpass him in the number of points he left on the court for the time being
