Chapter 431: The Second Half of the Season Begins

"Wood's fifth three-pointer, which was also LeBron's eighth assist, became a playmaker today." Kenny. Smith quipped.

And Linson's three-pointer also helped the Eastern Stars re-stretch the gap to 10 points.

"Bryant didn't play much today, and the scoring means that the West can rely on are greatly reduced, but even if Bryant can play today, he won't necessarily do his best with his relationship with Wood, and now the West can only rely on Allen and Cameron if they want to chase points, in fact, Yao is a good choice." Barkley said.

Iverson, who dribbled the ball on the court, handed the ball to Yao Ming inside, and Howard looked very difficult in the face of Yao Ming's attack.

However, James' timely defense made Yao Ming finally choose to pass, and Iverson, who received the ball, shot and smashed the basket, and Howard immediately jumped to protect the defensive rebound.

Lin Sen went up to catch the ball, and the west did not press on the spot but retreated directly.

After dribbling across the halfway line, Linson passed the ball directly to James.

"Is Wood enjoying LeBron's passing, enjoying it?" Kenny. Smith said with a smile.

Linson's off-ball offense impressed the West tonight, and despite Linson's pass, Iverson still didn't let up his marking.

Lin Sen glanced at Iverson and glanced at everyone's positions, and finally stopped his gaze on Iverson, who was not far from him.

When he got closer and closer to Iverson, Lin Sen was very suddenly motivated.

Directly turned around and ran along the three-point line to the top of the arc, and Iverson, who had been on guard against Lin Sen, immediately turned around to chase after him.

LeBron who saw Linson running. James threw the ball towards Linson with both hands, and Anthony, who was defending him, subconsciously reached out to interfere.

James, however, was merely a pass feint. Anthony's subconscious reach gave James a chance.

James took advantage of the situation and slapped the ball. The whole person cut straight over.

Lin Sen, who was running, also stopped suddenly. However, Linson didn't have any respite from Iverson, started again, and turned directly into the three-point line.

James, who cut in with the ball, sent the ball with his left hand, and the rent flew directly to Lin Sen, who cut in.

Linson's catch directly attracted Cameron, who was chasing James. Anthony made up the defense, and in the face of Anthony who came up to make up the defense, after Lin Sen made a shooting feint, he directly pushed the ball, and the ball hit Anthony's crotch.

Wood passes the ball again. This time he walked through Cameron's little door! Barkley shouted.

I saw that the ball that passed under Anthony's crotch happened to be back in James's hands.

After receiving the ball, James threw it directly, and the ball jumped high above Thiem, who wanted to fight to make up for it. Duncan flew to the rebound.

Boom!

Swish!

The ball bounced off the rebound and into the basket.

"Haluha, this time it's Wood who passes the ball to LeBron, and it's a 12-point difference." Kenny. Smith said with a smile.

"Kenny, I actually have an idea, one that is enough to break up the rest of the team." Charles. Barkley said, turning his head.

"What thoughts?" Lin Sen and James on the field high-fived each other.

"Aren't there contradictions between LeBron and Wood?"

"yes, it's amazing how they behaved like good friends, what the hell did it take to change their relationship."

"It's a news point worth pursuing and it's valuable. Look at LeBron and Wood's chemistry as if they had been working together for many years. ”

……

Fans and reporters were surprised by the cooperation between Linson and James tonight.

"What would it be like if LeBron and Wood were on the same team. Kenny, can you imagine? Barkley said.

Kenny. Smith's eyes widened: "LeBron and Wood on the same team?" ”

"Yes!"

"Do you want the other teams to survive?"

"I'm just thinking about it, and it's a really small pitiful, Wood is the leader, LeBron is also such a player, o, beautiful Allen's breakthrough throw!"

Iverson scored a goal on the court to temporarily slow down the decline of the Western team, but all this was only temporary.

The cooperation between Linson and James became more and more skillful, and the two teamed up for seven minutes in the third quarter, and it took only three minutes from Linson's first three-pointer in the second half to the separation of the two.

But those three minutes were a nightmare for the Western Stars, and the two combined to score 13 points in the East.

And the 13 points mainly revolve between the two of them, which makes many people can't help but fantasize about what Barkley said if James and Linson were on the same team.

By the end of the third quarter, the Eastern Stars had stretched the margin to 19 points, and the Western Stars had to fight back violently at the beginning of the fourth quarter if they wanted to reverse it.

"Wood and LeBron came on the court at the start of the fourth quarter, did they want to throw the West into the towel as soon as possible? Wood has scored 37 points, just five points shy of Wilt's 42 points, and Wood is tied with Mark Murphy. Price's six-point record still has plenty of time for Wood to set a new record. Barkley said as he looked at the field.

At the moment the West team's guard line is Steve. Nash and Blanton. Roy, Linson dribbled the ball and looked at Blanton, who was pressing. Roy.

"It's Brandon who is in charge of defending Wood, and it's a matchup between the best two guys in the class of '06, and he and Wood use their performance to slap the faces of those bad-eyed uniforms very painfully, and it hurts all the time."

"Even if it hurts, we can only endure it, and we have to say that our choice is right." Kenny. Smith said with a smile.

"Michael will be angry with you if he knows it." There was a hint of reproach in Barkley's appearance, which was clearly directed at Kenny. Smith's words were given for the time being.

Brandon. Roy looked at Lin Sen who was dribbling up, and did not stay in place, but directly greeted him.

As Linson approached a little bit, Blanton. Roy stepped back a little.

However, he didn't retreat too much, and always maintained a distance from Lin Sen within an effective control range.

Just like that, when stepping on the three-point line, Brandon. Roy knew that he couldn't retreat any longer, but chose to force Lin Sen.

Brandon. Roy used his body to hit Lin Sen's body twice in a row. Trying to interfere with Linsen's dribble.

Under the impact, Lin Sen's dribbling rhythm was a little unnatural. Roy saw that Linson had a problem with his dribbling rhythm. Crashed into Lin Sen with his body again.

However, this time Lin Sen was prepared and directly pulled the ball back one by one.

It's right in Brandon. When Roy was about to seize the space to continue to improve, Lin Sen's left foot suddenly stabbed Roy's right.

Roy didn't expect Lin Sen to change from passive to active so quickly, moving quickly with his feet, and at the same time continuing to crash into Lin Sen with his body.

However, Lin Sen did not dodge this time, and leaned directly on Roy and continued to take a forced step towards Roy's right side.

Linson's center of gravity on the dribble is low, which allows Linson to better control the ball under physical contact.

Roy leaned close to Linsen and retreated to the three-point line, but the whole person still didn't relax and still clinged to Linsen.

Lin Sen hit Roy's right side twice in a row. It made everyone think that Lin Sen was preparing a way to break to the end, and at this time, there were only five seconds left before the twenty-four seconds of attack time in the east.

Syllable!

Lin Sen's right hand slammed into the surface of the ball, and the ball immediately smashed to the ground at high speed.

The ball shifted in the tight space between the two, and Linson's left foot slammed into the left side of Roy's body.

Roy moved his feet tenaciously again, but Linson didn't give Roy another chance, and the whole person took a big step back and withdrew outside the three-point line.

"Wood step back and jump!" Kenny. Smith shouted.

Lin Sen jumped high outside the three-point line, and Roy, who was forcibly stabilizing his body's center of gravity, wanted to defend but was still a beat slower.

Looking at the basket in the distance, Lin Sen threw the ball directly out of the basket, and the ball crossed an arc in the air and fell steadily into the basket.

With his seventh three-pointer, Wood rewrote the All-Star Game three-point scoring record, and he also scored 40 points. Just two points shy of Wilt's 42 points, a record that was unsurprisingly destined to be written by Wood's name. Barkley shouted excitedly.

The game went on. The Western Stars are particularly tightly guarded against Linsen.

"I want to see Wood shoot instead of passing, even if his pass is beautiful." Barkley said a little depressed, Lin Sen only made one shot in the past four minutes, although there was a reason why Lin Sen's defense was crazy and tight, but it was not to the point where Lin Sen could not make a move.

"There are not a few people who have the same idea as you, there are still six minutes to go before the game, and now the West is still 21 points behind, it is not easy to chase back from the East, if you let the East score again, then the suspense of this game will be completely over." Kenny. Smith continued.

At this time, Wade, who was on the court, passed the ball in his hand to James, and James immediately made a shooting action after receiving the ball.

Anthony, who was in charge of defending James, immediately pounced on James, and at that moment James rushed straight into the ball.

Linsen, who was without the ball, landed directly in the bottom corner of the weak side with the help of the cover, and at such a momentary opportunity, James saw it, jumped up and threw the ball over, and Linsen did not let James's pass become useless.

"It's LeBron and Wood's direct cooperation again, Wood makes a direct three-point shot, and if the ball goes in, then Wood will make new history!" Barkley shouted, his eyes fixed on the ball flying towards the basket.

"Eighth three-pointer, 43rd point, Wood, Wood left Wilt's 42 points behind, he set a new record again, Incredible Wood, Incredible Wood!" Kenny. Smith sighed, and the big screen immediately played a picture of Lin Sen setting a new record.

The 24-point margin also allowed the Western Stars to choose to give up. Van Gundy also made substitution adjustments, and Linson, who scored 43 points in the game, was replaced under the crazy cheers of the fans in the court.

"Both sides gave up the game, and a win in the East is almost certain for this game, so Wood will undoubtedly be the All-Star MVP with a high score of 43 points, and I can't believe that Wood won't win this award, if that's the case David . Stern can be sprayed to death. ”

"Charles, Wood's stats are outstanding, creating an All-Star Game history of 43 points and 8 three-point records, but LeBron's stats are also very comprehensive, 21 points, 14 assists, 9 rebounds, the only regret is that LeBron is out of the court, otherwise he will definitely be able to get a triple-double, if I have to choose, I think Wood and LeBron to win this award together is also a good choice." Kenny. Smith spoke his mind.

However, in the end, James failed to share the award with Linsen, who scored 43 points in the game, and won the All-Star MVP trophy in his second All-Star Game trip in the second year of his career.

When David. When Stern stood on the podium and announced that Linson was the Most Valuable Player of this All-Star Game, there was a huge cheer from the audience.

And Lin Sen also completed the grand slam of the rookie game MVP, three-point contest, skill challenge, and dunk contest with this All-Star MVP trophy.

Everyone knows that there will hardly be a latecomer to such a Grand Slam as Lu Dao, unless Lin Sen competes on his own.

The 2007-2008 New Orleans All-Star Weekend also came to an official end, and Linson became the brightest man in the league.

Just when Linson flew back to Orlando at night, Jason, who had long been involved in trade rumors. Kidd was traded.

Eight-time All-Star veteran Jason. Kidd, despite his age, is still in great form, and he returned to Dallas, where he played in his rookie season, after the trade.

The deal, which was negotiated for almost a season, was finally reached the night after All-Star Weekend.

It only involved the New Jersey Nets and the Dallas Mavericks, but in the end there were eight players involved in the big deal.

Dallas Mavericks in order to get Jason. Kidd did not hesitate to send away the "Hades" Devin, who had just been renewed for 5 years and 45 million in the offseason. Harris added de Saguena. Diop, as well as Linson's Timberwolves teammate Trenton. Hassel plus Morris. Iger and a Keith, who is basically out of the league. Van Horn.

In addition to this, the Dallas Mavericks also gave the New Jersey Nets two future draft picks and some cash.

And the Nets got it all with just Jason. Kidd, Malik. Aaron and Antoine. Wright three.

"Dallas' Worst Gamble" – that's the title of Yahoo Sports.

Kidd didn't have many years left, and Harris was at the top, but the Mavericks made the deal anyway, and everyone could see that it was a big gamble for the Dallas Mavericks, and it would be a terrible price to lose if they lost.

Nearly after the Mavericks and Nets reached a trade agreement, another blockbuster news Shaquille. O'Neal was sent to the Suns by the Heat in exchange for Sean. Marion.

Looking at the trade news of the league, the Magic were not curious, but seriously prepared for the second half of the season. (To be continued......)
