Chapter 671: After the Dynasty?!
Wu Dao's continuous three-point shots made the Western fans above the stands jubilant.
With his three-pointers, the West has easily stabilized the team's current advantage.
To be honest, Wu Dao really doesn't want to project by himself, but the opportunity given by the other party is so good that if he doesn't cast, it will cause fans to question it.
If I could, this section of Martial Arts really just wanted to play a supporting role, acting as a dealer for Duncan and them, doing some conduction work or something.
But the reality is often unsatisfactory, when Wudao first entered the league, when he desperately wanted the ball, the team hesitated and didn't want to give it; But when Wu Dao gained some fame and wanted to play a supporting role, the ball automatically came to his hands, and he didn't need to take the initiative to ask for the ball.
I felt that I couldn't play in a low-key manner as instructed by Coach Philip, and I could only be forced to accept my position as the "team's thigh".
If you have the opportunity, you can do it yourself, he is very familiar with this operation!
Martial arts' hot hand put a lot of pressure on the stars in the East, but fortunately, Martial Arts was hurriedly pushed back to the bench by Coach Philip not long after scoring two consecutive three-pointers.
After winning the martial arts, Philip still looked at the scoreboard on the side of the court with "palpitations", and saw that the difference between the two teams was not too much because of the existence of the martial arts, so he secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
You may not believe it, but Coach Philip does want to win the All-Star Game, which is true, but in front of so many media reporters, even if he wins, it can't be too easy to win.
After all, for the wider number of fans, what they want to watch is not a crushing game, what they want to watch is a strong matchup that is evenly matched.
Among them, it is more of a test of the coach's "micro-gymnastics level".
How can the west, which has a slight difference in strength, be able to silently open up with the opponent, but at the critical moment, the team can win again.
It's not easy to artificially manipulate the game like this.
After all, in the All-Star game, these big and second leaders selected from various teams can't take their careers to play match-fixing for coaches because of an All-Star game.
Once the players are on the pitch, they are bound to play at their best.
But anyone with a discerning eye can see that the current situation of the alliance is strong in the west and weak in the east. In Philip's opinion, if the two teams play normally, if Jordan or a certain star is exposed, the final point difference between the two teams may be about 20 points.
Of course, if there is a star in the game, then it will not be much strange what happens.
After all, these scorers who can be selected as All-Stars, each player's scoring ability in the explosive state is unmatched, and no one can prevent it.
Philip wants to perform the art of coaching to "control the score", and what he can rely on is the most consistent scoring point in the team - martial arts.
Controlling the playing time and timing of martial arts is the key to this match!
After the martial arts were off the court, the firepower in the west was still quite fierce, and Kidd, who replaced the martial arts, connected Kobe Bryant and Robinson and Duncan on the inside line.
And Kobe, who has outstanding personal ability, also played a wonderful performance that amazed everyone. Although Kobe Bryant plays alone, it has to be said that he can be called a new generation of Jordan by fans, not for no reason.
Bryant's offense was solid in the third quarter, shooting over 50 percent from the field. As for Duncan, the main attacker on the Western interior line, his shooting percentage is more stable than Kobe's, but the most famous basic skills are his stability in addition to his "laugh" who was ejected from the game.
The consistency of Duncan's career game is historic. The West is highly efficient offensively, while there are no players in the East who can perfectly match players of this efficiency.
Glen Les and their performances today are average, although they can use points to find face for the team from time to time, but the difference between the two teams is still constantly widening as the game progresses.
The third quarter of the game was only 7 minutes into play, and the East couldn't help but make large-scale personnel adjustments, Jordan returned to the court, and at the same time, the interior line of the East was also a big change.
After the timeout, the West also made some personnel adjustments, Kobe Bryant, who had an inexplicable sense of chasing Jordan, was replaced off the court, and Eddie Jones, who looked more stable, was replaced on the court and took over Kobe's position.
Not long after David Robinson came on the court, Philip didn't move him, just took Duncan off the court and put Malone on the court at the same time.
At this time, many of the players on the court in the West are Jordan's old opponents and enemies.
In the face of those "uncrowned" defeated generals, Qiao An played very calmly. In the face of Malone and David Robinson, Jordan has an inexplicable psychological advantage in his heart, which makes Jordan perform freely on the court, and scoring goals is like eating and drinking water for him.
And Jordan's elegant autumn breeze also made the fans who supported him scream wildly.
With Jordan's efforts, the east quickly stabilized the situation, not only stabilized the situation, but they even began to counter-suppress the west.
Jordan relied on his strong defense and mobility to frantically contain the ball carriers in the West, which made the players in the West very uncomfortable.
As the score was chased closer by the opponent, Philip also hurriedly made some changes, and with two minutes to go before the end of the third quarter, Takedo was once again switched back to the court.
At the same time, O'Neal also replaced David Robinson as the team's center.
Coach Philip will send Wu Dao and O'Neill into the court, and the purpose is also very clear, he intends to make the team score as many points as possible in the limited time.
Wu Dao and O'Neill are here to attack the game!
"Martial arts, Shaquille, this ball will be handed over to the two of you."
"Both of you have a strong one-on-one singles ability, and one is on the outside and the other is on the inside, and it is impossible for the other side to divide all the energy to cover the two of you at the same time."
"When you're attacking, you also need to pay attention to where you are."
"If you're under too much defensive pressure, you can pass the ball to each other."
"It's absolutely impossible for the East to resist the two of you at the same time!"
Before Wu Dao and O'Neill came on the court, Coach Philip kept the two and gave a few words of earnest advice before letting the two enter the court.
Takeshi has a strong ability to score from the outside, and shots in the inefficient zone and outside the three-point line can account for more than half of his personal points at this time.
O'Neal, on the other hand, has a dessert area close to the basket, and as long as he can get under the basket smoothly, then no one can resist his big shark one-on-one.
Wu Dao and O'Neal's dessert area don't want to rush, they want to be the opposite, if the two of them cooperate, they can contract the offensive ball in almost all positions of the team.
Even if the east wants to be in the bag, it can only be selectively defended, and it is almost impossible to defend both inside and outside at the same time.
After Takedo and O'Neal came on the court, the direction of the game was as Philip expected, and the East chose Jordan as the core of the outside defense to defend Takemi.
The defensive pressure on the outside has increased dramatically, while O'Neill on the inside has no limits.
Although Wu Dao often has to face multiple people after receiving the ball, his height and arms are outstanding, and his vision is wide enough, and he can still pass the ball when facing the bag.
This also makes the entire offense in the west be revitalized, O'Neal often gets a single opportunity, and in a one-on-one situation, he basically does not fail to attack.
Sometimes O'Neal is also caught by two people on the inside of the East, but in this way, Malone's side will become very empty, and other players in the West can also get big empty seats.
There is no way, if you want to play two people at the same time, it is inevitable that there will be many vacant players in the west.
Ma Long's projection ability itself is not bad, and if he projects in the open position, it is like training, and the pressure is even less.
After Takemichi and O'Neal came on the court, the offensive efficiency of the West skyrocketed.
On the defensive end, the rotation in the West is also very good, Jordan's personal ability is terrifying, and he can often use the cover of blocking and dismantling to open the pursuit of martial arts, and then score with top shots, and his strong individual performance is naturally for Jordan to gain more and more cheers from fans.
But there is no way to compare the efficiency of his attack with that of the west.
By the end of the third quarter, the single-quarter score of the two teams came to 37:29, and the Western West opened the score by 8 points in a single quarter.
In the fourth quarter, Coach Philip felt that the offense of "his own team" was already incomprehensible, and in order to win the game steadily, he replaced Malone, who had a lot of physical consumption, off the court and replaced it with one of his protégés, Garnett.
At the same time, it is also equipped with a secondary attack for Eddie Jones, who controls Gary Payton.
Combined with martial arts and O'Neal's personal ability, the luxury of this lineup in the west is more dazzling than that in the east.
And this game is also completely out of suspense under the offensive of Wu Dao and O'Neal.
In the end, the West led the opponent by 21 points with a 135-114 advantage and protected the victory of the All-Star Game.
In this game, Michael Jordan played 32 minutes and scored 26 points, 6 rebounds, 8 assists and 3 steals.
However, the martial arts playing time in the West also reached 33 minutes, cutting 34 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks, and won the MVP of the All-Star Game.
Whether it is the team's victory or personal data, Michael Jordan seems to have faded the aura of "god".
On the other hand, Wu Dao, in front of media reporters, once again proved his strength and ability to lead the team, stepping on Jordan and becoming the most watched player in this All-Star Game.
After the game, many media reporters began to besiege Wudao when they were in the field, wanting to give Wudao a small interview. There were so many people blocking him that there was some small chaos in the room.
The media are not stupid, they know very well that after today's game, the voice of martial arts in the league will rise again.
"Martial arts, you won the MVP in the first All-Star Game, how are you feeling now?"
"Is there anything you'd like to say to your fans? We've got you covered! ”
Wu Dao, who was blocked by reporters, had to stop and be interviewed by media reporters. Looking at the long guns and short cannons surrounding him, Martial Arts first emerged with the feeling that he had really become a star now.
Previously, he didn't feel deeply, it was just that there were more fans at the scene, but when the fans were watching the game, it was actually difficult to tell who their cheers were for.
As for looking at the poster? Look at a brand? Looking at the jersey?
This kind of thing, how could the martial arts who were on the court have so much spare time to keep paying attention to these things.
But today, the feeling is obviously different, which can be seen by looking at the teammates around who are deserted and no one interviews.
Only Malone and O'Neill have been interviewed by more than one media before.
"Feelings?"
"Of course it's nice to be able to win the game."
"It's fun to play with great players that we've never worked with before, and to be able to fight tough opponents."
"I still have a lot of fun, and I also showed my 12-point level!"
When Wu Dao said these words, he was confident and humble, and he didn't exaggerate himself too much and belittle his opponent, and at the same time avoided talking about the fact that he got the MVP in the mouth of reporters.
It's just that his careful thinking, after all, there is no way to bypass the tricky reporters, they come to interview Wudao, in order to use the MVP to introduce other topics, don't talk about it, so how can it be done?!
"Wu Dao, you already got the MVP in your first All-Star Game, and we noticed that some fans felt that the MVP should be given to Jordan, because the fans thought that Jordan was a better player than you."
"What do you think about this?"
No, the game has just ended, and the reporters want to rely on the popularity of the All-Stars, and by the way, they want to make a big news, this time the problem is much more straightforward, and there are many more pits.
"Forgive me for knowing less about the All-Star Game, can the MVP still be awarded to the loser?"
"I don't know, I just asked casually."
"As for some fans who think that the MVP should be given to Michael, I don't think it's something that is unacceptable."
"I looked at the post-match stats and Michael was just a little bit worse than me, so there's nothing wrong with him."
Wu Dao noticed the big hole in the reporter's words when he asked a question, but he didn't care about it at all, and answered the reporter's question with a smile.
People are like this, sometimes if you take a step back, others will take an inch and press you again.
That's true for the players, it's true for journalists.
Don't these guys want to make a big news, so give them a big news:
"As for whether Michael is a better player than me."
"I don't think I have a way to answer that question right now."
"After I establish a dynasty for the Timberwolves, I'll try to answer your questions!"
