There may be no network tomorrow.,And the computer and Apple mobile phone compatibility surname is huge.,I don't know if the chapter can be uploaded successfully tomorrow.。 Anyway, I will definitely write it out, I hope the book friends understand. )
The second-half All-Star Game belonged to Kobe Bryant. On this night, Kobe surpassed Michael Jordan and was crowned the NBA All-Star all-time scoring leader! Prior to this year's All-Star break, Bryant played a total of 12 All-Star games, all of which were starters (the first time he played an All-Star, he was even a substitute with the Lakers).
Bryant's All-Star total has reached 244 points, just 18 points away from Jordan's record of 262 points.
But the distance of 4 minutes seems so far away. Even at the cost of blood
In the second half, with 8 minutes and 48 seconds left in the third quarter, Kobe Bryant held the ball at 45 degrees on the left side and singled Wade, and the Flyers turned around the opponent beautifully, and went straight to the basket to prepare for a dunk. But Wade was unwilling to be played, and when he was no longer able to defend and block Kobe Bryant normally, he smashed his hand from behind and slammed Kobe Bryant's face door with a heavy palm, and Fei Xia immediately covered his nose and ran away, his nose was already bleeding.
"This defense, Wade's movement is too big, obviously retaliating." The commentator of the ESNP exclaimed.
After a brief treatment on the sidelines, Bryant returned to the court and executed two free throws to tie Jordan in All-Star totals. Although Bryant's nose was bleeding on the spot, he did not leave the court for treatment after that, but still fought on the court.
Wang Xiaomu frowned slightly in the audience, he thought that Kobe Bryant's injury was not light, and he should leave the court to observe.
Western All-Star coach Brooks thinks it's a minor injury and has been relieved to put Kobe Bryant on the court.
Fortunately, the transcendence moment did not make people wait too long, and with 4 minutes and 56 seconds left before the end of the third quarter, Kobe Bryant scored a fast-break dunk, and the All-Star total score reached 264 points, completing the overtaking of Jordan. The Flyers won the All-Star all-time scoring title in 2003, and nine years later, the title changed hands again to Kobe Bryant.
After Kobe Bryant won the All-Star MVP last year, he has surpassed Jordan 3 times in the number of All-Star MVPs, setting a new league record, and now he has surpassed Jordan in total points. Not only that, Kobe Bryant shot 9 goals in the whole game, and the number of All-Star shots also surpassed Jordan to become the all-time All-Star goal leader.
Probably stimulated by Kobe, James began to go berserk, and the Eastern Conference Stars in the third quarter began to make the basket tremble.
James, who felt a little serious, immediately hit two three-point shots, plus a turnaround layup for eight points in a row in the East. And James's chasing the score did not stop, the emperor took a big step outside the three-point line and shot again, and at the same time as the three-point shot, the Eastern team also chased the score to only 12 points.
In the final three quarters, the Eastern Army still trailed by 12 points at 112-124, and it seems that the decisive moment will still be put in the final quarter.
When it comes to players who play well on the field, we have to talk about the players who play the worst. With his knees on his knees, Bynum only missed a face in the first quarter and never played again. If Bynum should have been a highlight of this East-West matchup, his matchup with Howard should be quite exciting and exciting. But in the end, Bynum played just 5 minutes and 31 seconds, becoming the least minutes played of any starter and the only player out of all the starters who didn't score. He can't be blamed for all this, only his knee injury came at an inopportune time.
But just when everyone thought that Bynum was "no worse than any worse", one player expressed dissatisfaction. Think you're going to be a little worse for everyone to see.
That's Roel Deng of the Bulls.
At 5:51, Deng played the second-fewest minutes of any All-Star player except for the injured Bynum. Of course, his reason is not injury, but the fact that the head coach of the Eastern Stars team Thibodeau deliberately compressed his playing time, because Thibodeau is the coach of the Bulls, so it is important to protect the players on this team. In such a short period of time, Deng naturally couldn't have any performance, his 2 shots were missed, except for 1 assist, the data was completely zero.
Shortly after the start of the fourth quarter, the Western Conference bench was even more impressive, with Love hitting two three-pointers to give them a 20-point lead at 136-116.
Jeremy Lin was unable to continue to play strongly, sitting on the bench for the second half of the fourth quarter. Jeremy Lin just wants to mature quickly, but he still doesn't have enough qualifications, and while these big guys grab meat to eat, they still don't have the opportunity for their 7 newcomers to drink soup.
Zhan Huang returned to the game with seven minutes remaining, and at this time both teams sent their main players.
After entering the court, the emperor used a long-range hit to narrow the difference, and the east closed the gap again. With 5:35 left in the game, Wade hit a mid-range shot to make it 130-138. Bryant immediately returned the color with a jumper and extended the advantage to double digits.
In the last five minutes, there was a timeout, and the managers of the two teams deployed the final real battle.
With 3 minutes left in the game, the East narrowed the score to 6 points, at this time Anthony missed three points, and when the court was in chaos, the ball was dialed to the left near the halfline, at this time James and Kobe Bryant rushed to the ball at the same time, or the young Zhan Huang's legs were fast, after winning the ball, he rushed forward two steps, and there were still two steps away from the three-point line to float up and shoot, although Russell Westbrook also interfered, but Zhan Huang had no choice but to hit this extremely difficult three-point shot again, and the East narrowed the difference to 3 points in one fell swoop. James grabbed a rebound from the outside, jumped up a meter from the three-point line, and hit a shot when his body was almost out of balance, and the East was only 141-144 behind.
With 37 seconds left in the game, the West led by three points at 150-147. This means that both sides have a chance to win, and the All-Star Game MVP trophy is not known.
There is no precedent in NBA history for All-Star Game MVPs to be awarded to a losing player. This strange thing first happened in 1958. At the All-Star Game in St. Louis, the East defeated the West 130-118, but the MVP was Bob Pettit from the host Hawks. This is the first time in NBA history that a player has been crowned MVP as a loser, and Petit was able to set a precedent for two reasons: 1, when the All-Star Game was held in St. Louis, he was the host; 2. He scored 28 points and 26 rebounds in the game, and the data was extremely gorgeous. Later, in the 1977 All-Star Game, the East lost by 1 point to the West, but the NBA official followed this precedent and awarded the MVP to the popular king of the East, Dr. J.
The third time this strange phenomenon occurred was in 1990, when Wilkins won the slam dunk contest with his classic tomahawk dunk, also in Miami. The MVP was awarded to Magic Johnson, the defeated general. The following year, less than 10 days after he married his wife, Johnson was tested for AIDS.
But awarding MVP to the losing side is just a surprise within an accident, and it's about the same as the chance of a player contracting AIDS. So Durant, the top scorer in the West, and James, the top scorer in the East, will go all out for the final 37 seconds to win.
Of course the NBA
There are many strange stories about the All-Star Game: there have been four All-Star Game MVPs won by the two of them, and it was Petit in 1959 and Elgin Baylor, the rookie at the time, who pioneered this first. Petit also won the All-Star MVP, and it wasn't until 32 later that the Utah Twins repeated the story in Salt Lake City.
Next is the big fat O'Neal. He alone has won the MVP trophy twice: in 2000, he toasted with Duncan, the two best big men of the time, and that was the first time he was crowned MVP; And in his last All-Star Game in 2009, he not only ended his All-Star career with a trophy, but also eliminated years of resentment between the OK group.
There have also been eight times in NBA history when a team has had four players selected for the All-Star Game at the same time.
In fact, the NBA All-Star Game has long since developed its own set of rules after decades of development. From MVP selection to how playing time is allocated, and even the jersey number, there is a strict set of rules to follow.
In the 1996 All-Star Game, in front of the older Ewing, the No. 33 players of Pippen, Hill and Mourning all had to change to other jerseys. So, Jeremy Lin basically made a lot of money as an All-Star, and he was a rookie who was able to get so much appearance time thanks to the Bulls coach on the sidelines.
Thankfully, this dilemma was resolved at the 1997 Cleveland All-Star Game, and under pressure, the NBA League finally passed a decision that numbers could be duplicated between All-Star teammates.
Of course, the NBA has a long history, so there will be a lot of wonderful and not-so-wonderful memories. At least for Jordan, the god of basketball, the five-point score in the three-point contest is miserable enough.
Back in the game, with 16 seconds left in the final moments, the East team was 2 points behind.
At this time, Zhan Huang held the ball outside the three-point line, and just when everyone thought that the emperor would play by himself, he chose to pass the ball.
The first time he threw a three-way shot to DeLong, after the East team got the frontcourt rebound, Zhan Huang's second pass was stealed by Blake Griffin, who made one of two free throws, leaving only 1.1 seconds for the East team.
It was Zhan Huang who sent the sideline ball, but although the ball was passed to Wade, the latter was powerless, and in the end, Wade's three-point step-back jumper was still a lot out of the basket, and the big pursuit in the East came to naught, which was in response to a sentence: Blame James. Of course, after the game, Kobe Bryant's nose also came with bad news, nasal bone fracture, I believe that if Kobe Bryant wants to continue to fight, he will be a mask man.
