Chapter 214: Tacit Ball?
"The main event is finally here." Looking at the All-Star starters who took to the court to receive the cheers of the fans, Barkley said: "These two days of All-Star weekend were wonderful, it was really beautiful, and I think it should be better to come to the main game." ”
"The main reason for this should be Wang Cannon." O'Neal also said: "Although he didn't inherit my funny style on the All-Star back then, he is such a tight Wang Cannon, but he makes the Rookie Challenge, the Three-Point Contest, and the Slam Dunk Contest, the three programs that have been tired of being watched quite exciting, maybe this is the advantage of Wang Cannon." ”
"Hey, Shaq, let's guess who the MVP of the main game will be, right?" Barkley suddenly said to O'Neill, "Guess right, just"
"Stop! I'm not going to bet on you! I'm quitting betting on this thing! Before Barkley could finish speaking, O'Neill interrupted Barkley and said righteously, "Don't you know that gambling is bad?" How many people in the United States go bankrupt a day because of gambling? And how many people are destitute because of gambling and eventually choose to commit suicide? ”
"Hmph." Barkley snorted disdainfully and muttered, "I don't know who went to Las Vegas to play for several days during the vacation and leisure time after retiring." ”
O'Neill: ""
"But if you don't have a bet, it's just a simple analysis and guess, I can analyze and analyze." O'Neill coughed, cleared his throat, and began to lift his fingers.
"I think there are four people who are most likely to win the MVP of the All-Star Game."
"The first one, Kobe, although he is old now, is still the strongest scoring guard in the league after all. At present, the Lakers' record is ranked third in the West, which is not bad, and Kobe Bryant is currently ranked third in the scoring list, averaging 27.5 points per game, which is quite efficient. But during last year's All-Star Weekend in Los Angeles, Kobe Bryant had his sights set on All-Star MVP. But it was snatched away by Wang Cannon, he has no idea at all, if you add the Lakers' soy sauce-like table in the playoffs last year, Kobe Bryant may attach great importance to the MVP of this All-Star Game, after all, this is also a pretty good honor trophy. ”
"The second, James, James is already the first person in the league, he has won two All-Star MVPs with the Cavaliers, but with the Heat. He hasn't won the All-Star MVP yet, and while this award isn't particularly important for James, who already has two regular-season MVPs, who would get more honor? As the leader of the Eastern All-Stars, if the East defeats the West, then James will have the highest probability of winning the MVP in the East. ”
"The third, Howard, the league's No. 1 center and also the host of the Orlando All-Stars, serves as the host. Of course, he wants to get some better and better results in the All-Star Game, so the All-Star MVP should also be a big priority for him. ”
"As for the fourth," O'Neill dragged out. Then he said: "Of course, it must be the king cannon." ”
"I will explain the reason to other people, but Wang Dacang I think I only need to say a simple sentence, does my strong life need to be explained?"
Indeed, Wang Cannon is too strong, and he has participated in two All-Stars since joining the league, not counting the main game that is about to start now. He has had 5 games, including the Rookie Challenge in 11 years, the All-Star Game, the Rookie Challenge in 12 years, and the Three-Point Contest. The slam dunk contest, this girl actually won them all, and this was exchanged for any star in the league, even Jordan, the basketball god of the year, who never did it.
Therefore, no matter who it is, they will not question Wang Cannon's ability to compete for MVP in the All-Star Game, this girl was born to brush up on honor.
At this time, the east and west teams are almost ready, both sides are standing in their respective positions, and the two center forwards are also in the middle circle, waiting for the jump ball.
Wang Cannon, who was standing in the big forward position, glanced back at Paul, and the two of them laughed tacitly.
With the referee's whistle, the basketball was thrown into the sky, and the 2012 All-Star Game finally began.
Bydam and Howard bounced by, naturally it was impossible, the basketball was dialed to the side of the East Army by Howard without any suspense, after James got the basketball, he did not stick the ball himself, but passed the ball to Rose, although Rose is a competitor, but this is an All-Star game after all, even James does not want to be said that he excludes others on the court.
But as soon as the basketball in James's hand was passed out, a black shadow suddenly burst out from a corner, and snatched the basketball that had just escaped from James's palm.
James was stunned for a moment, looking at this rather wide figure, he was a little stunned for a while.
With such speed, judgment and agility that is completely inconsistent with his size, there is only one person in the entire alliance who can do it, and that is Wang Cannon!
Also James' teammate last year.
Looking at Wang Cannon's way of controlling the ball and running towards the Eastern backcourt, James seemed to see the fat man who kept running in the Heat in a trance.
"The first goal was a tackle! Wang Cannon is very active today! However, Anthony's reaction speed is very fast, after Wang Cannon's steal, he immediately returned to the basket, it seems that he wants to defend against Wang Cannon! ”
If Anthony heard this, he would definitely scold with disdain.
"You're just going to defend against the king's cannon! Your whole family is going to defend against the king's cannon! ”
Anthony has always disliked defense, especially players like King James Cannon, who use his body more than his technique.
When he saw Wang Cannon snorting and running towards him, Anthony had no desire to defend, this is the All-Star Game, and it is not the NAB Playoffs to grab seven battles, what if he can dunk one? It wasn't me who was robbed anyway.
Anthony with such an idea is simply making a show, he stands at a distance of about one step inside the free throw line and stops, raising his hands high and waiting for Wang Cannon, if Wang Cannon shoots on the outside, he will not go out to defend, if Wang Cannon wants to rush to the inside line and force a dunk, Anthony will also get out of the way at the first time. Definitely not as a backdrop for the king cannon.
Anthony thought well, but when Wang Cannon rushed to the left and right of the three-point line, he suddenly stopped and threw the basketball backwards.
Seeing this situation, Anthony was stunned for a moment, not understanding what the situation was. But then Wang Cannon continued to run over the inside line.
At the same time, Anthony also saw Paul, who was not far behind Wang Cannon, followed closely behind.
"This is going to be" Anthony suddenly felt bad and hurriedly wanted to get out of the way, but it was a little late by this time.
The basketball had been thrown directly into the air by Paul.
Wang, who was not bound by the basketball, was a few points faster than before, and he jumped up sharply from the distance around the free throw line, grabbed the basketball in the air with one hand, and then slammed it into the basket.
"Boom!" The loud slam dunk was accompanied by the sound of a camera shutter ringing.
"I'll you!" Anthony was about to die of anger.
Just now, because he was stunned for a moment, coupled with the fact that Wang Cannon, who did not have a basketball, jumped faster. By the time Anthony realized it was time to dodge, it was a little late.
Although Anthony quickly realized and dodged, and did not make physical contact with Wang Cannon, which can be regarded as avoiding Wang Cannon, Anthony did not dodge the camera lens.
Although I haven't been able to see the photos yet, it is not surprising given Anthony's experience over the years. In the photo, he must be holding his head and running around.
"It's a big deal!" For a moment, Anthony even felt a fever on his face.
I was expecting the All-Stars to play well. To make up for the sluggish state after his injury in the regular season, but now that he has only come on the court, he has successfully turned into a background board, what is the rhythm of this?
What's more, the protagonist in this background turned out to be the king cannon he hated the most. How can Anthony endure this?
"The double connection between Wang Cannon and Paul, Anthony didn't react at all. is worthy of being teammates on the same team, cooperation is skillful, I didn't even see Wang Cannon turn around, he knew that Paul was behind him. This is called tacit understanding! O'Neill sighed.
Tacitly, to be honest, Wang Cannon is really not very good, and the reason why he passed it back was because he heard Paul's voice behind him.
"Pass me the ball, air relay!"
Of course, Wang Dacang knows that the so-called All-Star Game rarely really plays at the beginning, and most of them are half-defense and half-release, in order to make the game look better.
Obviously, the air relay must be much better than his own simple dunk, not only that, but the air relay can also add an assist to his teammate Paul, which is beneficial to others and self, so why not?
Listening to the cheers of the fans, Wang Dacang knew that this judgment was correct.
With Paul clapping his hands, the king turned his head to look at Anthony.
Anthony didn't mean to defend himself just now, Wang Cannon knew that after he took off, Anthony made way for himself as soon as possible, and Wang Cannon was also clear. Wang Cannon didn't know what Anthony was thinking, he thought that Anthony was showing favor to himself again, revealing to himself a message that no one would be able to guard against.
"No one guards against whom? That's a good dare! After all, the point guard on his side is Paul, and most of the passes will give priority to himself, and the point guard on the eastern side is Rose, a point guard with strong offensive ability and average assist ability, and it is not easy for Anthony to expect him to get a little more passing.
Wang Cannon didn't notice that Anthony's face was about to turn black, but even if he saw Wang Cannon, he wouldn't take it to heart, because Anthony was already very dark.
This girl is a black man, okay!
After switching offense and defense, Rose controlled the ball and went to the frontcourt.
After looking around, Rose saw Anthony who was actively reaching for the ball, Howard who was standing well on the inside, and James and Wade who were also standing outside the three-point line.
After hesitating, Rose ignored James and Wade, who looked like they were going to play soy sauce, and also ignored Anthony, who reached out to ask for the ball, but was standing next to Wang Cannon, and hoisted the ball to Howard, who was standing in a good position on the inside.
"Holy!" Seeing this, Anthony immediately scolded in his heart, he was so active in asking for the ball, and Rose didn't even give it to him. Could it be that this girl has an opinion about herself? If you think about it, the Bulls were also quite eager to pursue themselves at the beginning, so Rose shouldn't be dissatisfied with himself?
Anthony didn't know that although he was very active in reaching for the ball, the king cannon standing behind him made Rose hesitate.
For Wang Cannon's stealing ability, Ross is still full of jealousy. Although he is the starting point guard, Rose knows that he is still young after all, and there are not many opportunities to appear in the All-Star game.
Like last year, it is better to pass the ball to Anthony at the risk of being stolen by Wang Cannon, and it is better to retreat and pass the ball to Howard, who is more secure.
Ross thought. He really wronged Wang Cannon, Wang Cannon could even swear to the sky, he really didn't think about any steals just now, and after he saw Anthony stretching out his hand to ask for the ball, he became more and more determined about what he had just thought.
Anthony is going to play a tacit game with himself, and the two of them do not interfere with each other, but only brush each other's points and counts.
If it was the original, the king cannon would not bird Anthony at all. How old are you? Also play tacit ball with me?
But now it's different, and Wang Cannon, who has a task, can't take care of it a lot. The process of the mission has reached the final step, as long as you win the MVP of the All-Star Game, you can hire the star of your dreams to teach you the skills.
Conversely, if it fails, it will not only not get closer, but will become even further away.
So at times like these. Even if he was a king cannon, he could only succumb, succumb to the task of the pit father, and play a tacit game with Anthony.
But to his surprise, Anthony reached out for the ball so aggressively. Rose is not a bird, and directly gave the ball to Howard, this Rose is enough to hold, everyone is in the same league, look up and don't look down, you are not a sinner like you, right?
While Wang Cannon was thinking in his heart, he didn't take into account that he had far more enemies in the alliance than Ross.
Howard was also a bit surprised to receive basketball, after all, as a center, he has never been the darling of All-Stars, and his appearance in the game is generally not as good as those outside players, and he plays the first ball for himself, which really makes Howard a little uncomfortable.
The embodiment of the discomfort is that although the positioning is better, Howard is not ready for the offensive routine, and a simple hook layup is slightly disturbed by Bydam and the basket comes out.
Bydam immediately grabbed the rebound, and then watched as the two people standing in front of him were tangled.
At the same time that Bydam received the basketball, Paul and Kobe Bryant stood in front of him almost at the same time, both reaching out to hand the basketball to him.
One is the team's point guard, and the other is the boss of his own team, Bydam was just stunned and immediately began to struggle.
It stands to reason that Kobe and Bydam belong to the same team, and they should be passed to Kobe Bryant first.
But the situation is a bit more complicated.
Bydam has been caught up in trade rumors between the Lakers and the Magic in recent times, and many people say that the Lakers are trading themselves for Howard for the Magic.
And Kobe Bryant has also revealed in the media many times that he hopes Howard can join the Lakers.
Isn't this a blatant statement that I can't do Baidam?
Although because of Yao Ming's retirement, he successfully became the Western All-Star starter, but Bydam is already quite dissatisfied with the team, especially for Kobe, this guy with eyes full of victory, with Kobe Bryant for seven years, Bydam is tired of Kobe's obsession with constantly pursuing victory.
Not everyone dreams of winning the O'Brien Cup, and no one has to win game after game.
Los Angeles is a city of angels, and Bydam doesn't want to leave here, but it's not up to him, especially after the team's boss Kobe Bryant has spoken out that Howard can join the Lakers, and it's only a matter of time before Bydam is traded.
In that case, why should I follow Kobe Bryant and be a little brother?
Thinking about it like this, Bydam suddenly lost the desire to give the ball to Kobe.
Now the head coach on the court is not the Lakers' Mike Brown! It's Thunder's head coach Brooks! He wouldn't have asked how Bydam wanted to pass the ball because it was All-Star weekend.
With that in mind, Bydam passed the ball directly to Paul.
Seeing this situation, Kobe Bryant was stunned for a moment, looking at Bydam and not knowing what was going on.
However, the game was still going on, and Kobe Bryant didn't have time to think about it, he could only think that Bydam didn't notice him and subconsciously handed the ball to the point guard.
To be honest, Kobe Bryant also really took this year's All-Star Weekend seriously.
Kobe Bryant can also feel that his state is getting worse and worse than before, last year's All-Star Weekend in Los Angeles because of Wang Cannon's-stirring stick, the director himself failed to win the MVP, so this year's MVP must be won! I have to prove to the whole world that I can still fight!
It doesn't matter if Bydam doesn't pass the ball to himself, I can keep asking for the ball!
With this in mind, after Kobe Bryant ran to the halfcourt, he waved directly at Paul and signaled that he was going to play a single.
Paul looked at Wang Cannon and found that Wang Cannon had no intention of attacking, so he handed the ball to Kobe. (Actually, because Anthony didn't receive the ball just now, Wang Cannon, who thinks that the two people have established a tacit relationship, is embarrassed to hit Anthony again) (To be continued......)
