Chapter 496 - Winning the MVP (Today's Fat Man's Birthday, Five Watches)

Seeing that the sophomore team was getting better and better under Chamberlain's leadership and the first-year rookies were almost crushed, Wade had to call a timeout, and then he put Lopez on the court.

Seeing this scene, Howard jumped to his feet angrily, muttering "despicable, really despicable" in his mouth, of course he knew what Wade was up to, this guy came with a strong man with a broken wrist, and planned to replace Lopez to attract Chamberlain's defensive attention and give others a chance.

Howard yelled at Wade across half time: "DW, you're really shameless, can you bear to let that rookie play?" Are you really going to kill them all? โ€

Wade fired back with the same decibel voice, and he stretched out his middle finger and shouted, "God can testify, bastard, who is going to kill them all?" It's clear that you're planning to kill them all! I can't help it, history will return my innocence, I was forced to fight back, just like when our troops attacked Vietnam, the Vietnamese were forced to fight back! โ€

"Don't want Bilian!" Howard can only praise this good brother like this.

Wade can't help it, he doesn't want to lose, what an honor it is to break a seven-game winning streak in his sophomore year, and he plans to retire as a head coach, how good it would be to win a win now to add points to his resume.

As for Lรณpez's self-confidence and life or death? Who cares? He doesn't care, who makes your kid not afraid of death take the initiative to provoke Chamberlain. Wade said to himself in his heart, don't blame me for being ruthless, everyone is an adult, and we should all learn to take responsibility for our actions.

Sure enough, as soon as Lopez came on the field, Chamberlain immediately set his eyes on him, he didn't care about the outcome of the game, he followed Lopez to run all over the field, you go to the inside line and I will sit in the penalty area, and if you go to the outside line, then I will sit in a high position.

Fernandez has hit four three-pointers with a good hand today, and when he appeared again, he raised his hand and made another three-pointer, seeing this, Wade rolled his eyes in frustration, and stood up with a roar: "Chamberlain is not on the inside, why don't you attack the inside?" Break through, shoot low! โ€

Chamberlain was very active in grabbing rebounds, rushing in and grabbing the bouncing ball.

Durant switched to being a playmaker, Chamberlain covered him in the high post and then turned around and ran to the basket, Durant passed the ball to him, and there was no one blocking him inside, Jordan Jr. watched Lopez with cold eyes, and Lopez was already disheartened and didn't want to compete with Chamberlain for any battle of will.

Chamberlain was ready to change direction and break through, but no one was guarded, he easily ran into the box and sent the ball into the hoop, too lazy to waste his energy to dunk.

Wade was so angry that he almost vomited blood, looking at a group of men standing still, he really didn't know what to yell, if Riley saw his men defending with their eyes, then he would scold you out of the locker room later. It's a pity that this trick is useless for rookies, Wade and them are a hammer deal, and the game is over.

Lopes took Chamberlain out of the box and Rose passed the ball to Jordan Jr., who decided to turn his back on Horford.

"It's not a good decision, bro, it's not a good decision." Durant smiled and said, Little Jordan wanted to bully others when he saw that Horford was short, but he didn't know that Horford's strength was extremely good, and it was no problem to withstand Little Jordan, and Little Jordan would be hairy on the offensive end in addition to brute force dunks?

Sure enough, Jordan Jr. squeezed in and couldn't squeeze at all, and by the time he decided to pass the ball, it was already late, his teammates were all targeted by the opponent, Jordan Jr. was in a hurry, Horford came out flexibly from behind and pushed the ball out of his hand.

Chamberlain grabbed the ball and threw it to Thornton, and the sophomore team still let Chamberlain single, but he gave the opportunity to Horford, who drew Jordan Jr.'s bag with a back push, and Horford left the spot.

Horford's basic skills are very solid, and his best point is the mid-range shot, he is very resolute when he shoots, and the arc and shooting point are very good. Of course, he is also good at playing singles with his back, and when he carries the basket, he can rhythmically arch into his range and then convert his shots into points.

Horford came up with a Reggie Miller-style catch-and-shoot to give the sophomore team two points again.

Little Jordan didn't believe in evil, he ran to the penalty area again to ask for the ball, Rose ignored him and didn't pass the ball to him, although this is an All-Star Game, but it can't be played unlimitedly, and little Jordan is no longer unlimited play, it's a bit undisciplined.

Rose broke through by himself, he had an advantage in the position of Thorton, after the continuous change of direction, Rose took a step, his vigorous body was like a dragon, Thorton hurriedly retreated, but Rose twisted his shoulders and changed direction again, as if he was snaked, it seemed to break through from Thorton's right flank, but in fact he passed him from the left side.

Breaking through weirdly and making a resolute layup, once Rose rushes into the restricted area, there are few people who can stop him from scoring, but today he ran into one, Chamberlain saw that when he didn't pass the ball to Jordan Jr., he expected Rose to play alone, he ran with Lopez on the surface, and actually kept an eye on the confrontation between the two.

As soon as Rose burst into the box, Chamberlain came from the wing and slapped him off the three-point line.

Howard grinned, but after thinking about it, he straightened his face and yelled, "Stupid, have less strength, send the ball to your teammates, and then do a fast counterattack!" โ€

The momentum has been completely controlled by the second-year, although there are so many geniuses in the first-year team, and Ross and Westbrook are even more attacking masters, but this will make them take care of themselves, and go to singles when they get the ball one by one, regardless of the movement of their teammates.

The second-year experience helped them, and when they encountered this situation, they went to the bag, and the first-year rookies who played a few balls in a row lost their temper.

Then Chamberlain forced a jump under the bag of Jordan Jr. and Lopez to make a 2+1, which pushed the momentum of the second grade to a climax, and the first grade fell behind 78-90 by more than double digits.

Wade called a timeout in a frustration, he looked at the time and reassured the players: "It's okay, boys, there's still time, eight minutes is enough to change the game, then we need to play smarter, listen to my arrangement......"

Wade made a painstaking arrangement, and after the first-year players came on the court, there were indeed some changes, and the ball moved wider and faster, but unfortunately when Beasley ate a big hat from Chamberlain, the rookies were red again, and then Westbrook didn't dare to get the ball, so he rushed to the basket with his eyes closed, and smashed the ball directly on the rebound when he dunked at the end!

Jordan Jr., who followed up, continued to dunk after getting the ball, but he still didn't hit, he shot too hastily, and the ball bounced directly into the hoop.

The sophomore insisted on playing Chamberlain, and in the fans' 'MVP' calls, Chamberlain played more and more fiercely, Lopez simply fouled, so far he still has no score and no rebounds, in fact, Chamberlain's defense against him has been much lax, but he has lost his fighting spirit, floating on the court like an outsider. If Lopez had the same grit and determination as Kobe, Iverson or even Hill, Chamberlain might limit him, but not completely.

Unfortunately, he didn't have that determination.

Chamberlain has become more and more like a perfect warrior, Lopez's fouls have been converted into scoring by him, he saw that the opponent has no intention of playing and just wants to foul quickly and then exit the game, so he simply helped Lopez, holding the ball outside the three-point line to shoot.

Lopes subconsciously waved him down, Chamberlain hit three free throws, Wade realized that his Lopez tactics were ineffective, so he replaced him off the court in frustration, although the opponent still had two fouls to leave the court.

In the end, Wade also wanted to open it, anyway, this is an All-Star Game, and it doesn't matter if you win or lose, just let these rookies play according to their own hearts.

Without command, a group of birdmen began to play wantonly, Chamberlain is an All-Star player after all, he doesn't pay attention to this kind of rookie game, he relaxed his defense after the team gained an advantage, Westbrook hit the basket and scored a dunk, and then Yi Jianlian hit a three-point shot.

The rest of the game turned into a duel between Durant and Beasley, and the two childhood brothers went head-to-head, Chamberlain loved to see this kind of scene, and the fans liked this kind of gimmick, and the players held the ball after half court and then pulled away and let them solve the game themselves.

Durant hit three pull-up jump shots in a row, and Beasley's back shot was also quite powerful, Durant's strength couldn't withstand him, and he also returned two back-to-back jumpers and a free throw. This shows Beasley's potential, he is by no means under Durant, but unfortunately Durant has more tenacious nerves and more determined to improve, while Beasley has to get by and do what he wants.

Beasley, who was in a hurry, saluted the fans in front of the crowd, and then he began to get nervous again, and when he hit Durant again and turned around for a jumper, Chamberlain gave him a big hat from behind.

Beasley was indignant and shouted, "It's kind of the two of us going head-to-head!" Of course, don't be afraid, Uncle Beasley will show mercy. โ€

Chamberlain glanced at him contemptuously and said: "I'm really afraid of you, I'm afraid that you will be beaten and cried by me, so I will be accused by the fans that I don't know how to respect the old and love the young." โ€

Saying that Durant passed the ball to his hand, Beasley was engrossed in the defense, Chamberlain's shoulder shook quickly and then strode with his right foot, Beasley screamed 'caught you' and followed, the two collided with each other, Chamberlain quickly retracted his foot and then turned sharply, Beasley was knocked away by him two steps, and Chamberlain smashed into the penalty area for a one-handed dunk.

In the first year of attack, Beasley went up to ask for the ball, Westbrook looked at the back less than two minutes, and the team was already more than 15 points behind, and there was no hope of counterattacking, so he threw the ball to Beasley.

Beasley faced Chamberlain's outstretched arms and quickly dribbled under his crotch, and Chamberlain knew that this guy had a strong self-esteem and would not use such a cheating method as a long-range shot, so he stepped back with confidence. Beasley did make a breakthrough, he was very good at his pace, fast and explosive, and Chamberlain took small steps to close to Beasley's side, and when the latter made a quick stop jump shot, he pressed it all at once.

Beasley struggled left and right with no room to shoot, and at the last look at the stubborn step-back jumper with little time left, Chamberlain forced his body to jump and cap his ball again.

โ€œMVP๏ผ Three pairs! Chamberlain was startled by the excited roars of the fans, and Durant ran up to him to high-five him, laughing and saying, "Congratulations, Z, you got your first triple-double in the Rookie Challenge!" He glanced at Beasley and added teasingly, "Ten caps." โ€

The game was basically over, and in the next minute and a half, the two teams symbolically came to a few rather explosive dunks to warm up for the upcoming All-Star Slam Dunk Contest, and finally the game ended, and the sophomore won the final victory 130-119.

After the end of the game, the award was presented, Chamberlain wiped the sweat on his forehead and was pushed onto the court by Howard, the result was not surprising, Chamberlain waited generously after the podium, NBA Vice President Stu Jackson walked onto the court accompanied by the staff, he was just about to speak, and the audience rang out with a landslide tsunami-like cheer: "MVP, SUPER-Z!"

Chamberlain raised his hand to signal to the fans, he shot 17 of 27 in today's game, and scored a total of 40 points, 17 rebounds and 10 blocks, whether it was a score or a triple-double, he set a record, including 30 points in the second half, which is also a record!
