Chapter 240: The third in the east, the magic of state ups and downs
PS: Pick up the pace......
――
Lin Sen continued to play on the court for three minutes before being defeated by Eddie. Jordan changed to the off-court, and Lin Sen, who was sitting on the court, watched the game on the court with complete appreciation.
However, compared to the West, the shooting percentage in the East is slightly worse, and O'Neal Jr., who came off the bench, accidentally put the ball into his own basket when grabbing a rebound.
"Does Jermaine think this is the basket of the West? Maybe he's too hungry to score. "Charles. Barkley immediately quipped.
Vince Carter, a demigod who replaced Linson, rushed from the three-point line to the basket at the end of the first quarter, and in the face of the almost unguarded basket, Carter unceremoniously showed that he could still fly, and after a 360-degree turn in the air, he slammed the ball into the basket with both hands.
"The second great dunk of the game, there is no doubt that Vince's 360 turn and Wood's crotch windmill will lock up the top five of the game." Kenny. Smith said as he watched the replay on the big screen.
"David, I can't guarantee the rest, but I will definitely assure you that the team in Las Vegas will have nothing to do with gambling." Goodwin looked at David. Stern said, despite what Goodwin said, he didn't know the bottom of his own mind.
Although none of the casinos in Las Vegas have opened any games at the request of the city government during this All-Star Weekend, many casinos in Las Vegas have opened for any NBA game in the past. Stern has always insisted on disagreeing with Las Vegas' application to join the NBA.
"I know how anxious you feel, but you should know that boxing used to be ruined by gambling, even though many casinos now have a game open. But it's not the same as setting up a team in Las Vegas. This is something we need to think about seriously. Of course, you need to give a specific idea before we can evaluate it. ”
David. Stern was generally pleased with the All-Star Weekend, and the attendance was more enthusiastic than he could have imagined. Jackson talked about it, and this time Goodwin brought it up again, and he could feel the urgency of Las Vegas.
If Las Vegas does enter the NBA, of course, the premise is that the impact of gambling can be controlled, and once it is really controlled, then he doesn't mind agreeing, but for him who is committed to building a clean gentleman and an all-pure sports NBA. He absolutely cannot accept the slightest danger of potentially tarnishing the image of the NBA.
"We'll be serious about it!" Goodwin knew it wasn't going to happen for a while, and he didn't expect it to happen anytime soon.
The first quarter ended with the East trailing the Western Stars 31-39, and the second quarter became O'Neal's show, and with 8:48 left in the quarter, Linson hit the ball inside with a direct hit.
After receiving the ball, the big shark O'Neal directly dunked with both hands, and Lin Sen was immediately ready to turn around and run to the backcourt, but O'Neal's powerful dunk actually smashed directly on the neck of the basket and bounced out.
"Haha, Shaq still has such moments? He must have done it on purpose, and we could see Shaq blushing. "Charles. Barkley said.
"Are you sure you can see Shaq blushing? Do you have high-tech in your eyes? All I saw was swarthy. "Kenny. Smith continued.
However, Maddy, who grabbed the rebound, made a mistake. Johnson got the ball and handed it to O'Neal on the inside again. O'Neal didn't waste a pass this time, with the standard shark-style heavy dunk.
"Shaq picked up a bargain. T-MAC: This is Charity Shaq...... "Magic Johnson's words have not yet been finished, and there is a change on the court.
O'Neal, who jumped to the floor with a hard pull on the basket, hugged Maddie excitedly, and forcibly kissed Maddie on the head when Maddie didn't react.
"Oh, Shaq kissed T-MAC, he was sexually harassing, and I would like to express my serious protest on behalf of the T-MAC fans." Barkley shouted.
Maddie, who was kissed, also looked very angry, glared at O'Neal and quickly ran to the backfield, while O'Neill didn't care about taking a bully step.
Maddy, who was forcibly kissed, not only assisted Ray in a row. Allen and Bryant scored, and he also scored consecutive goals, while Linson completely became a traditional playmaker point guard who kept putting on wonderful passes.
But it's a pity that the shooting percentage of the East in the second quarter was really bad enough, and it was beaten by the West in five minutes with a wave of 18:6.
Linson was replaced by Billups, while Eddie. Jordan was replaced by James and Wade again, but it still failed to change the decline of the East, and the West completely controlled the rhythm of the court, and the gap between the two sides reached 21 points before the first half was over.
"It was a slaughter, Shaq was the culprit, he angered T-MAC, and look at his stats, despite scoring only 12 points, he's already handed out nine assists, it's horrible." Steve. Cole said, looking at the stats.
When the first half ended, the Western Stars led the East by a full 20 points, 79:59.
At the beginning of the third quarter, Linson hit two three-pointers in a row, but the Suns of the Western team became the protagonists, and the small bully Stoudemire hit consecutive shots, and then "hackers" Marion and Maddy staged two air raids.
However, then Linson didn't have many chances to have the ball in his hands, and even when there were openings on the outside, James and Wade rarely passed the ball except for 24 seconds on offense.
The fans on the field continued to scold, obviously dissatisfied with Lin Sen's cold reception.
However, Linson on the court didn't care about running back and forth to defend seriously, but the West became stronger and stronger, and when Linson replaced the court for a while, the West achieved a terrifying 30-point advantage at 95:65.
After Marion's madness, Ray. Allen began to shoot from the outside again, and the West led by 33 points at one point, 115-82, and finally led 119-88 after three quarters.
"I really don't have anything to say, LeBron and Dwyane are in a child's mindset." Charles. Barkley lashed out unceremoniously.
The on-site director pointed the camera at Lin Sen on the bench, and Lin Sen, who was wearing training clothes, didn't seem to care at all about talking and laughing with Carolina and others behind him.
"Charles, obviously you're overthinking, look at Wood, he's not affected at all, he's already the biggest winner in Las Vegas for him, with three titles." Kenny. Smith said with a smile.
In the end, in this eye-catching East-West All-Star match, the West Force easily defeated the East Force 153-132.
Kobe Bryant, who scored 31 points in the game. Bryant became the Most Valuable Player in the Las Vegas All-Star Game, and this MVP trophy is also his second personal All-Star MVP trophy.
"An Ugly All-Star Game" - this is the title of the official website of "ESPN" after the game, although the West is strong and the East is weak, but the gap is so big, especially Lin Sen has been ignored many times on the court, ESPN pointed the finger at James and Wade.
However, it doesn't matter to Lin Sen, and after the game, Lin Sen's interview with reporters did not express any dissatisfaction with the treatment he received on the court: "This is an All-Star, everyone should enjoy basketball, this is not a game for the purpose of winning, is it?" I understand the choices made by each and every one of them. ”
"I'm a professional, I know what to do, I don't do it on purpose, and I really don't know how to explain it if you think so." LeBron. James responded to reporters' questions after the game.
Although Lin Sen was considered to have suffered an injustice at the All-Star Game, a crazy war of words on the Internet after the game sparked a frenzied war of words, which somewhat diverted people's attention from the news outside Lin Sen's court.
With the end of the All-Star Weekend in Las Vegas, it also heralded the 2006-2007 season entering the second half of the season.
Teams with playoff hopes are starting to sprint for a playoff spot, while those who are hungry for no hope have completely torn off their faces and started a complete swing and went straight to the first pick.
No way, Ohio Big Greg. Auden was nationally known as the next American superpower center as early as his high school days.
On the scouting report on Greg. Auden has the "Big Dipper" Wilt. Chamberlain's offense, "The Lord of the Rings" Bill. Russell's defense, "Big Dream" Hakim. Olajuwon's dreamy footsteps, "Big Shark" Shaquille. O'Neal's dominance, such a super-center that is rare in basketball history in a century, has undoubtedly made those teams eager for a revival salivate.
Plus Kevin, who broke out by entering college. Durant, two young men with superstar likenesses undoubtedly inspired the Boston Celtics, Memphis Grizzlies, and Milwaukee Bucks to play a slump of competition.
And after Lin Sen was traded to Orlando, the Orlando Magic, who were considered to be in the swing zone, began a sprint to a higher ranking under the leadership of Lin Sen.
However, after the All-Star break, the Orlando Magic broke out a lot of problems, such as Jean Stan. Van Gundy and All-Orlando headache hacking tactics.
Dwight. Howard's free throws not only didn't improve, but got worse, and the Magic lost three games because of being hacked by opponents at critical moments.
For example, the team's injury crisis, the main player on the bench Kenyon. Durin was out for the season after a serious injury against the Milwaukee Bucks on March 3.
Chris. Webb, although he did not miss too many games due to injury, still worried the whole Orlando position. Milicic and Tony. Barty has also been hit by injuries, but they are not the same as Chris. Webb's injury problems are not serious.
The Orlando Magic's state has also seen significant ups and downs compared with Linson's Christmas All-Star Weekend, but Linson's stable performance has become the Orlando Magic's biggest reliance.
When the clock ticks to the end of March, the Orlando Magic is in third place in the East with a 47-34 record behind the Detroit Pistons at 54 wins and the Cleveland Cavaliers at 48 wins. (To be continued......)
