Seeing Howard say this pitifully, Wang Chao couldn't cry or laugh for a while.

Howard is indeed a very childish player, although the relationship with Wang Chao was a little acute because of the ball and the follow-up tactical position in the team during the Magic team, but when Wang Chao chose to leave the Magic team, Howard still regarded him as a friend and brother, even if he did not have a satisfactory life in the Magic team last season, he did not blame or blame Wang Chao.

Wang Chao knows that Howard's next career will become extremely difficult, of course, he will not make too much money every year, but the position of the league's No. 1 center may not be able to sit for too long, and the three championships and the best defensive player in the Magic team are likely to be the most valuable honor wealth of his career.

Standing at the top of the three-point line with the ball, Wang Chao watched Howard pull out from the inside to block for him, and in an instant it seemed to return to the green years when he was in the Magic team two years ago.

After helping Wang Chao block and dismantle the cover, Howard went straight to the basket, and Wang Chao also threw the basketball in the direction of the basket familiarly.

Howard jumped high and received a pass from Wang Chao in the air, and scored with both hands violently dunked.

In an instant, the audience burst into cheers and applause like a tsunami.

Many fans of the Super Magic Group were moved to tears by this classic scene that had been staged in countless games.

The four years of the Magic team have accompanied many people's youth and good times, but time has passed, Wang Chao and Howard have left the Magic, and they are moving towards their goals, and no one knows whether the two will have a chance to partner in the future.

It's a pity that Howard didn't have much time to play, and he was replaced after playing less than 4 minutes, and the center player himself was not welcomed in the All-Star, and Howard was only a Western alternate All-Star this time, plus the head coach of the Western All-Star was McHale of the Rockets, how could he let Howard steal the limelight from Da Yao?

And Da Yao's next appearance was when the game was 4 minutes and 31 seconds into the second quarter.

Wang Chao and Da Yao appeared together, and at the same time, Kevin. Garnett was also on the field.

With three Rockets players on the court at the same time, the ball was naturally firmly in the hands of this small group, and Da Yao once again gained a lot of shots and scored frequently in the face of the weak interior line in the East.

With the assistance of Wang Chao and Garnett, by the end of the half, Da Yao's personal data had reached 19 points and 8 rebounds.

At this time, the other All-Stars in the East and West have already reacted a little.

Wang Chao is clearly looking to brush an all-star MVP for Da Yao!

As long as Wang Chao gets the ball, he basically doesn't shoot by himself, he is trying to pass the ball to Da Yao, or use his lethality to break through with the ball to create the best scoring opportunity for Da Yao.

Other stars may not react, Durant will not do it in the first place, to be exact, now Durant has a hostile psychology towards Wang Chao, everything Wang Chao wants to do, whether it is beneficial to him or not, he has to find ways to destroy, and this time it is still a little profitable for him, even if he has won the All-Star MVP, it is better to take one more than to be empty-handed.

Thinking like this, Durant increased the number of shots he made at the beginning of the third quarter of the game, and the players on both sides of the All-Star Game did not play particularly seriously, and the defense was all pretentious, and Durant, who did not feel any pressure and hindrance on the defensive end, hit his signature shots again and again, and his personal score also rose gradually.

But just when he was playing up, during a free throw, head coach McHale waved his hand and replaced Durant with Aldridge.

Durant: "......"

Wang Chao smiled.

"Hehe, fight with me?"

"Ball certificates, circumstantial evidence, plus the organizers, all the co-organizers, all of them are my people, how can you fight with me?"

At this time, Wang Chao almost wore sunglasses to keep a big man's head, sat in the stands and shouted at the court with Erlang's legs crossed, "Then be more cruel!" And then a move of the invincible Hot Wheels rolled down.

Wang Chao does not allow anyone to threaten Da Yao to win the All-Star MVP, whether it is an opponent or a teammate.

After Durant was pressed to the bench, the Eastern Conference All-Stars began to bewitch again.

The newcomers to the Irving and George All-Stars fired frequently from beyond the three-point line to help the Eastern All-Stars establish a score advantage.

Only the best players on the winning side have a chance to win the All-Star MVP, so how can Wang Chao let them sabotage their plans?

After Irving hit a three-pointer from beyond the three-point line, he excitedly raised three fingers and even gestured twice in the direction of Wang Chao.

Than three points? Think you've just won the three-point contest and the three-point shot is amazing?

Wang Chao decisively took over the ball and hit three three-pointers outside the defensive three-point line of the Eastern All-Stars, including an ultra-long-range three-pointer close to halftime, and played a wave of 9:0 in the blink of an eye, causing the East to call a timeout adjustment.

With Wang Chao's meticulous assistance, Da Yao scored 6 points and 4 rebounds in the third quarter, another 5 points and 4 rebounds in the fourth quarter, and when the game was over, his personal data had reached 30 points and 16 rebounds.

The score was 144-135 in the East and West, with the Western All-Stars winning by nine points.

After playing 29 minutes and scoring 30 points, 16 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 blocks, Da Yao was elected All-Star Player of the Year without any suspense and won the AMVP trophy.

Durant, the only one who can threaten Da Yao on the Western side, finally got 26 points, 4 rebounds and 1 assist, and it was no problem to score 30+ or even higher points with his scoring ability, but he sat on the bench for almost a long time in the second half, and there was no way at all.

Wang Chao, as a green leaf in this game, was completely to assist Da Yao, so he only got 14 points, 3 rebounds and 7 assists.

In addition to helping the team open up the score gap when the score was relatively stale, the most Wang Chao did was to pass the ball to Da Yao to assist in scoring, and help Da Yao to grab the rebound, and the other players who watched were red-eyed.

Da Yao was embarrassed when he went to the back, Wang Chao simply chewed the rice and poured it directly into his mouth, this feeling made Da Yao, who has always been relatively thin-skinned, very uncomfortable, too bad.

However, when Da Yao lifted the All-Star MVP trophy, the smile on his face was very bright.

It was his first personal trophy in the NBA.

Although Da Yao has been named to the All-Star team many times, there are no trophies in the All-Star team, and he does not have honors such as Rookie of the Year, Regular Season MVP or Defensive Player of the Year.

Although I didn't pay much attention to the All-Star MVP before, it felt pretty good when I actually won this honor.

When Da Yao smiled and held up the All-Star MVP trophy, Wang Chao on the side also sounded a system prompt in his ears.

"The task is completed, please pay attention to the distribution of rewards."

Wang Chao, who heard the system's prompt, closed his eyes and entered the consciousness space, and in his consciousness space, there was an extra white knee pad, which looked unremarkable, and it was not even as beautiful as the knee pads worn by many players in the league.

This is the system's quest reward, the Protective Knee Pad.

Pick up the knee pads, and the use of props naturally appeared in Wang Chao's mind.

As he thought, this thing can indeed be used not only for him, but also on all players who are more than 60 related to him, and will automatically disappear after the end of the current season.

Opening his eyes, Wang Chao looked at Da Yao, who was still holding high the All-Star MVP trophy and receiving cheers from the fans, and said silently in his heart: "Use the protective knee pad, use the object Da Yao!" ”

In the consciousness space, the white protective knee pads gradually became transparent until they disappeared into the consciousness space, and at the same time, Da Yao, who was held by the stars, was suddenly stunned for a moment, at this moment, he suddenly felt that his body was unprecedentedly comfortable, as if he was soaking in a hot spring, and the faint pain caused by various injuries accumulated over the years and his career was gone.

This magical feeling made Da Yao feel very surprised, what was going on? Could it be that you subconsciously attach so much importance to the All-Star MVP award? After winning the award, the whole person was a lot more relaxed......

Of course, Da Yao couldn't understand and couldn't know that the special props that Wang Chao used for him had already taken effect, at least for this season, he would not be bothered by injuries.

Of course, the protective effect of the protective knee pad is limited to the arena, if someone outside the arena pays a high price to find someone to remove one of Da Yao's legs, then let alone the protective knee pad, even if it is Wang Chao's steel and iron bones, it is useless, after all, no matter how high the kung fu is, he is afraid of kitchen knives.

Protective knee pads can only protect Da Yao Zhouquan on the field, and there is no way to deal with some unexpected factors outside the field.

However, with Da Yao's current value, he is accompanied by bodyguards on his daily trips, and the above things basically will not happen.

——

"30+16+3, Da Yao shined brightly in Houston, led the Western All-Stars to defeat the East, and was elected All-Star MVP."

"Da Yao became the second Chinese player in the NBA to be elected All-Star MVP after Wang Chao!"

After the All-Star Weekend, Da Yao briefly became the front page headline of major media for a period of time, and in the past two years, with the increase in age and the decline of competitive status, there has been very little news about Da Yao in the league, after all, there is such an unprecedented superstar as Wang Chao in China.

But this time at the All-Star Weekend hosted in Houston, Da Yao finally had a good time, swept away the embarrassing situation of participating in all the soy sauce in the All-Star Weekend in his career, and was successfully elected All-Star MVP with his outstanding performance.

After the All-Star Weekend, Da Yao seemed to be still in the glory of the All-Star Game.

On Feb. 20, the Rockets host the Oklahoma City Thunder for the fourth and final meeting between the two teams in the regular season this season.

This game was also the first game after the All-Star Weekend.

The Thunder's main starting center, Chris. Carman missed the game due to injury, and Da Yao faced Perkins, the culprit who caused his injury in the playoffs last season, and continued the state of the All-Star period, frequently asking for the ball in the low post singles on the inside, slashing 33 points, 12 rebounds and 4 blocks all over the court, and exploding Perkins into nothingness.

After the game, even Da Yao felt incredible.

"I feel really good after the All-Star break, the injuries I had seemed to have healed all at once, my body was light, there was no burden or pressure, it was like I was back at my peak!"

Da Yao said excitedly in an interview with media reporters at the press conference.

The effect of the protective knee pad is better than Wang Chao imagined.

Originally, the 33-year-old Da Yao should still be in the playing year, the golden age of NBA players is 28-32 years old, and the physical function of Da Yao, who has just passed the golden age, will indeed decline, but it will definitely not fall from the peak to the bottom in an instant, but the accumulation of various injuries and fatigue will undoubtedly accelerate the decline in state.

The role of the knee pad is not only to protect Da Yao from injuries in the next season, but also to help Da Yao relieve the pain caused by the injuries accumulated in his previous career, which naturally indirectly makes Da Yao's competitive state better.

The current Da Yao is the competitive state that a normal 33-year-old player should have.

After 33+12 led the team to defeat the Thunder at home and complete the regular season sweep against last season's Western Conference opponents, Da Yao scored 27 points, 11 rebounds and 29 points and 14 rebounds in the next two games, respectively, helping the Rockets win consecutive games and be unstoppable!

After the All-Star break, the Rockets went on a three-game winning streak before the trade deadline came.

The 2012-13 trade deadline didn't have any big trades worth mentioning, just minor filler trades, such as the Thunder sending a second-round pick in '14 to get forward defensive stalwart Ronnie. Brewer.

This deal is obviously for the playoffs, to strengthen the defensive ability of the front, in order to better limit Wang Chao's play in the face of the Rockets, the four games of the regular season have made it clear to them that as last year, they have no way to face Da Yao on the inside, and there is no one who can curb Da Yao's play among the players who can be obtained through small trades.

Fortunately, in the playoffs, Carman will return, whether he can prevent Da Yao or not, at least better than nothing.

The Heat, for their part, sent a role player and a 2013 second-round draft pick plus some cash to get a trade exception from the Grizzlies, which the Heat tend to use to sign a better role player before the final free agency closes.

However, there are basically no strong players on the free market at present, and the Heat's trade exception will most likely be used for next season's signings, which is still very important for the Heat, where the Big Three occupy almost all the salary space.

The Rockets continued Wang Chao's style as always, and there was no action during the trade deadline, just quietly watching other teams pretend.

After the trade deadline, the regular season also entered its final stages.

All the teams are starting to work hard and sprint for the playoffs, but that doesn't include the Rockets.

Because the Rockets then defeated the Bucks, Mavericks, Magic and other teams one after another, and to put it mildly, they won another wave of ten consecutive wins!

Da Yao's Rockets, who are beginning to return to their healthy and normal state, have become significantly stronger than before the All-Star, and they have a casual feeling that I am invincible.
