Chapter 159: Fighting Back the Wave
Chamberlain's two big hats in a row are an insult to the Green Shirts, they may have been blocked since they joined forces, but they have never been blocked for two consecutive rounds, or blocked by a rookie!
Pierce wanted revenge, but Ray Allen grabbed him and persuaded him bitterly: "It's an all-star, brother, forget it, it's an all-star." ”
Garnett glared at Chamberlain hatefully, scolded, 'You're lucky,' and shook his head at Pierce.
Wade broke through to Jamison, who cut under the basket and took the ball to the basket and sent the ball into the hoop in a beautiful, almost elegant pose.
The West Army attacked, Paul passed the ball to Chamberlain, and it was indeed more appropriate for Chamberlain to play at this time, because it was not Garnett who defended him, but Jamison - according to Rivers's arrangement, Jamison stared at Chamberlain, he studied Chamberlain's game video, this kid's offense still relies more on brute force to squeeze into the restricted area and dunk, in order to save Garnett's physical strength, this kind of strength work is naturally given to Jamison.
Jamison is called a big forward, in fact, this guy is a small forward, almost not in the restricted area, was sent to defend Chamberlain's drudgery, he has long been scolded in his heart, if you want him to defend seriously, it is impossible, Chamberlain's violence has been famous throughout the league.
Billups beckoned Nowitzki to pull the perimeter so that only Oxlade-Chamberlain and Jamison were left in the box. Chamberlain put his shoulder against Jamison, let out a muffled roar, slapped the ball with his right hand, and squeezed his shoulder fiercely inside.
As soon as Jamison saw that Chamberlain was going to play really, he hurriedly retreated after the opponent's first impact, but he just retreated, and before his footsteps fell, Chamberlain's second impact came again!
This time the impact was even more fierce than the previous one, and Jamison felt as if his chest had been slapped by a huge wave, and secretly cursed Lao Tzu for not playing with you fools and running away. Chamberlain, however, was unforgiving, strode after Jamison, and struck him again with a more ferocious shoulder.
Seeing this, Jamison wants to cry without tears, damn Lao Tzu can't beat it, can't he dodge? Why are you so bullying that you don't even let you hide?
The waves were getting higher and higher, and the impact force was getting stronger and stronger, and Jamison finally couldn't stand it, so he turned around and ran away without saying a word, and he was not afraid of being embarrassed.
Chamberlain put the ball away with both hands, and after no hindrance, he rushed into the penalty area and roared, his legs bent slightly, his huge body soared into the sky like a rocket, he grabbed the ball with one hand, his powerful arms were raised high, and when his wrist was above the hoop, he smashed the ball in.
"Oooo
Seeing that Chamberlain was so arrogant, Garnett was not calm, Nima Laozi couldn't wait to teach this kid a lesson, the little tree would not slip straight if it was not repaired. He asked for the ball from Wade's hand, and he nodded at Chamberlain and said, "Boy, come, aren't you very good?" Come defend me, come on, show me what you can do to be an All-Star. ”
Chamberlain pursed his lips and pressed them behind Garnett, and directly on the other person's body.
Garnett's ball-handling skills are extremely skillful, and Jamison may be comparable to him on the inside. He leaned on Chamberlain and probed it back, his right hand gently slapping the ball, and slamming it in rhythmically.
Chamberlain pressed against Garnett hard, as if all the strength of his body was used in his arm, and he would not retreat.
Garnett tested the strength of Chamberlain's arm, slammed it in, and made a sharp turn, the basketball jumped up from the floor and fell into Garnett's left hand, obediently following him in a circle.
That's the time to wait! Chamberlain roared in his heart, feeling that Garnett was about to turn around, he threw himself to the right side of the body, and his arms were quickly raised, aiming at Garnett's basketball on the floor.
Chamberlain and Garnett's bodies inevitably collided together, and the latter's knee was hard against Chamberlain's ribs, not because Garnett did it on purpose, but whoever did such a move would be treated like this, which is why no player wants to do it.
The big hand slapped the ball, and the basketball that should have fallen into Garnett's palm changed direction and flew out. As soon as Chamberlain fell to the ground, he stood up like a whirlwind with his hands on the floor, and took two steps up to hold the basketball in his arms.
No one thought that Chamberlain would play so hard, and no one reacted.
It wasn't until the ball hit the ground that Junzi Lei came to his senses and followed to pick up the ball, but by the time he ran over, the ball had already entered Chamberlain's arms.
Chamberlain threw the ball to Paul, who came forward to ask for the ball, and without saying a word, he got up and ran to follow, and before leaving, he sneered and looked back at Garnett, full of disdain.
The All-Star defense is average, so it's easy to play a fast break, so when Billups rushes into the three-point line with the ball, Chamberlain, Roy and Billups follow, Nowitzki is bored, playing alone in the backcourt, chatting with Jamison by the way:
"Man, why don't you follow it?"
"That's a bunch of crazy people, and Lao Tzu doesn't know like crazy people. What about you, why don't you follow the fast attack? ”
"the fart, a bunch of crazy people, they're having fun on their own, they've long forgotten about me."
"Huh."
Facing Wade, who was marking him, Paul winked at Billups, then stopped to face Wade's defense and began to play with the crotch dribble.
Billups was unmarked, and Wade, who was supposed to defend him, went to make up for Billups, but Gentleman Ray didn't change rooms in time, so he was empty.
Paul saw Billups from the bottom line **** penalty area out of the corner of his eye, flicked his wrist, threw the ball to the floor and passed it accurately to the latter's hand.
After getting the ball, Billups didn't follow the trend for a layup, but took a step back. His move surprised everyone because Billups was already at the bottom of the basket, so if he stepped back, he would be in a negative angle, which is not a good place for a guard to go to the basket.
Billups didn't think about going to the basket at all, he stood behind the basket, cleverly threw the ball up, the basketball was like a rising sun, slowly flying up in the eyes of everyone, it rose higher and higher, exceeded the rebounding bracket, exceeded the top edge of the rebound, and flew from behind the rebound to the air and began to land.
Paul gave Billups a look, and Billups gave Chamberlain a look.
When Billups received the ball, Chamberlain ran into the interior like a full-strength F1 car, and his whole body ran into the interior like a huge wave, and the muscles of his whole body tensed up like a rock. Chamberlain was already in the box when the basketball left Billups' hand, and he was about to jump, but the direction of the basketball's rise pulled the bouncing body down.
It wasn't until the basketball started falling from its highest point that he roared and pulled it up. The right hand reached out to grasp the ball, and the left hand followed and grabbed the ball at the same time, and then Chamberlain's upper body pulled back hard, and the ball hit out like a sharp arrow, and smashed the ball into the hoop with both arms.
"A bunch of clowns!" Chamberlain jumped down with a roar, his right arm raised high, and his body stood straight on the floor as if it were a mountain. That's where his nickname Optimus Prime comes from, and this pose really looks like Optimus Prime.
It was a talented dunk, and Iverson, who was joking with Kobe Bryant off the court, had an incredible look on his face, and then held Kobe's body and pretended to faint. The fans next to the stadium also showed expressions of disbelief, which was not an exaggeration, but everyone wrote their thoughts on their faces.
"Genius passing, genius passing!" "It's the smartest pass I've ever seen, Billups is a genius, oh, Billups is a genius, he's not a passer, he's a miracle worker." ”
When this dunk was replayed in slow motion, everyone discovered a detail, that is, Chamberlain did not sprint in to dunk, the ball had just shot when he was ready to jump for the first time, and then he stopped his body, and then waited until the ball flew up to jump up to catch the ball.
After roaring and venting, Chamberlain calmed down, he picked up the ball and passed it to the referee, and smiled at Roy and others: "How about we overtake the score?" I don't want to lose to those clown-like guys in the East. ”
"It's decided!" Roy's eyes became feverish, "Then let's play seriously?" ”
The day before yesterday, his second-grade team was played badly by the first-grade seriousness, and today he finally had the opportunity to play with others, can he not be happy? After all, he is also an all-star rookie, and he also wants to become famous in such a game and leave a brilliant record for future generations to review.
Wade lived up to his reputation as a Flash, and as soon as he received the serve, he rushed to the front court in a few blinks. Paul was much faster than Wade, but he couldn't carry the strong Wade, and he didn't want to play seriously anyway, and he didn't catch up when he saw Wade rushing inside.
Roy shook off Pierce and pushed diagonally to cover Wade. Seeing that Pierce was empty, Wade jumped up and lifted the ball above his head, and just when everyone thought he was going to make a layup, he saw him grab the ball with his right hand and retract it back to his waist, and with a flick of his wrist sent the ball out.
Pierce received this comfortable pass, stepped in, jumped up at the hoop, and there was no one in front of him, which was a good opportunity to perform.
The Green Shirts fans stood up and cheered, their mouths wide open and their hands held high, just waiting for Pierce to dunk the ball into the hoop and cheer.
It's an All-Star indeed, but not everyone is playing like Paul. Seeing Pierce's unscrupulous **** inside line, Billups quietly chased after him from the flank, and Pierce jumped up and he jumped with him, at this time it was naturally late to block, but he didn't plan to block.
Billups reached out to block Pierce's face, completely obscuring his vision, not revealing a single gap, Pierce could only rely on his feelings to shoot, but the ball missed, spun around the hoop and came out again.
Chamberlain slammed into position, jumped up and grabbed the ball in his hand, and Garnett followed behind and punched Chamberlain the outside of his thigh with his knee. Chamberlain gave him a cold look, didn't say anything, and passed the ball to Billups.
Billups dribbled the ball fast, Wade hummed and chased behind, Nowitzki and Chamberlain were both athletic and cut down from the wings.
As soon as he dribbled the ball into the three-point line, Billups turned and ran out with the ball, passing past the Eastern players as if he were on a military parade, looking as arrogant and arrogant.
At this time, Nowitzki and Chamberlain had already entered the inside line, Billups was not a selfish person, he saw Nowitzki in the inside line, and the ball in his hand was immediately thrown out of the box, almost in a straight line to the top of Nowitzki's head.
Nowitzki was about to dunk when he received the ball, Garnett followed the defense in time, jumped up and interfered in the air, so that the dunk was suffocated, and Nowitzki was still quite jealous of Garnett's blocking ability, and he didn't know how much he suffered in the process of the two fighting.
Since the way was blocked, Nowitzki pulled his arm and threw the ball over his head at will, regardless of whether he scored or not, this is an All-Star Game, just have fun and have fun.
As a result, Garnett didn't want to let go of the ball, he just gave Chamberlain a hat, and there was fire in his heart, Nowitzki himself made such a casual shot, he simply didn't do it, and the five-finger basket slapped it.
The basketball was shot out of Nowitzki's head, just as Chamberlain followed in from behind, seeing the basketball flying, Chamberlain didn't think much about it, jumped up and caught the ball and pulled it back of his head, his body carried the inertia of running to hit forward, and Garnett, who was falling, was knocked out of the body by him with Nowitzki.
"Bang!" A bang rang through the loudspeaker of the rebound, and Chamberlain hung on the rebound and looked down at the hapless Garnett and Nowitzki, looking unruly.
"Well done, Z, what a nice dunk, but you offended Kevin and Dirk, Haluha." Paul laughed.
It's the first time Garnett has been dunked this season, and his face is crooked, but this is an All-Star Game, and he is a senior, and he can't find a chance to take revenge.
With Chamberlain's dunk, the morale of the players in the West soared, and the three Green Shirts in the East were angry, and the more they played, the more anxious they became, so that the situation on the court was exactly the opposite of before the first timeout, the rhythm of the West was stable, and the East was in chaos.
Paul took advantage of the speed advantage and ate Junzi Lei twice in a row, Pierce then missed a three-point shot, Chamberlain pressed Garnett to grab a rebound and pass a long pass Nowitzki sent his first assist in the All-Star Game, after the score, the German was teary-eyed, it was not easy, it was finally opened, and he thought that this time the All-Star would have to take zero eggs back to Dallas.
was ravaged by the opponent and the hoop was ravaged one after another, Rivers had to call a timeout and make substitutions, and took advantage of this opportunity Phil Jackson also adjusted the team.
Among the Eastern Conference players, Rivers replaced Garnett with Howard and Pierce with Butler; Among the players in the West, Jackson replaced Paul with Nash, Chamberlain with Smalls, and Billups with Anthony.
With 2:22 left in the first quarter, Anthony received a pass from Nash and scored a dunk, and the West completed the comeback for the first time at 32:31.
