Chapter 423: History First
The break ended quickly, and the rotations of both sides came back on the court in the third quarter, and after more than half a quarter, Coach Spo called a timeout on the Eastern side.
Because at this time, the Eastern team is already 83-103 behind by 20 points, and if you don't call a timeout to get the starters back, the fourth quarter of the All-Star Game will become garbage time.
So Li Kaiming and others played again, the rotation lineup is actually not a complete substitute, James and Wade, the two big generals received by Spo, take turns to lead the rotation lineup, so so so far the playing time of the two James and Wei is also the longest, and the shortest playing time in the starter is point guard Derrick Rose, which is not enough for him to take the initiative to apply to the coach to play less.
And now there is no Rose in this scoring lineup, and the point guard is replaced by Deron Williams, and the West side takes the starting lineup to prevent being chased by the East.
The east served the bottom ball, Deron Williams dribbled over the half court, Li Kaiming had already stuck his position in the waist, so Delong comfortably gave the ball to Li Kaiming's hands, and in the face of Griffin, who was trying to prove himself, Li Kaiming turned around directly, and then used the advantage of his long legs and big steps to shake off the latter, and directly dunked it after hitting the basket!
85 to 103!
Western offense, Paul to the front court after holding the ball to block and dismantle, the East troops began to help defend Durant, Paul shot directly after the opportunity, but unfortunately he was defended by Deron Williams, who ate and slept and played 58, Paul missed the shot, Howard protected the backcourt rebound, and then directly to Delon.
The ball didn't stay long in Delon's hands, because at this time Li Kaiming was almost outside the three-point line in the front court, Griffin gritted his teeth in the back to chase, DeLong Williams deserved to be a top point guard with an average of 10 assists per game, and directly made a long pass that was super long, and the goal was straight to the basket!
Seeing Delong's bold pass, Li Kaiming strode directly to the basket, and then kicked the ground and jumped to catch the ball with both hands and then successfully dunked again.
This imaginative combination instantly detonated the Amway Centre, and the aerial relay throughout the stadium was the highlight of the best goals even if you look at the whole season.
The audience cheered, and the Eastern Army, with the cooperation of Delong and Li Kaiming, set off a frenzy of chasing points.
87 to 103!
It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, tonight's Kevin Durant has been raised under someone's intentional free-range, and after arriving in the frontcourt, Durant received Paul's pass, dribbled and singled James to the mid-range emergency stop!
James really defended this ball seriously, but it's a pity that Durant, who feels it, almost depends on himself whether this kind of ball can score or not, and it has nothing to do with who defends.
After the goal, Durant yelled, and his performance was the brightest tonight, scoring 30 points before the end of the third quarter, which was also the highest score in the game.
The East team served, and Delon passed the ball to James after halftime, who had not touched the ball for two rounds, and if he didn't touch the ball again, it was estimated that the play would start in a while.
James smiled after taking the ball, facing Durant's single defense and directly launched a tank breakthrough to the basket, after Bynum's defense, James would not be able to find the person who passed the ball for a while and a half, at this time he had jumped in the air, and if he didn't pass, he would make a mistake, he thought of Li Kaiming squatting in the bottom corner of the air with a wit, so he directly turned the layup into a pass, and stuffed it directly into the hands of Li Kaiming in the bottom corner.
Li Kaiming never dreamed that James would have jumped up and was ready to go to the basket, and he would pass the ball, this kind of ball is like suddenly pressing the pass button when playing NbA2K for a layup, not to mention how awkward it is.
Because Li Kaiming didn't expect it, even Griffin, who was defending him, didn't expect it, the ball was really passed to Li Kaiming, but when he reacted, Griffin was already in place, and the word 5 flashed on the timer on the scene at this time!
With 5 seconds left, we have to make a move!
Li Kaiming knew that he couldn't hesitate at this time, so he broke through directly with the ball, and after entering the three-point line, he turned around with his left foot as the axis and then pulled it up and threw it!
Griffin defended this ball very seriously, and he didn't lose his position throughout the whole process, but unfortunately the talent gap between him and Li Kaiming was still reflected when he finally shot, and Griffin, who can compete with Li Kaiming for the dunk king, is definitely not far behind, but after the ball jumped, he could only touch Li Kaiming's forearm, and he couldn't touch the ball in Li Kaiming's hand at all!
This is the sorrow of the Tyrannosaurus rex!
As the word 2 flashed on the timer, Li Kaiming calmly shot, and after crossing an elegant and beautiful parabola, the basketball fell into the basket accurately under the yellow light around the rebound, which symbolized the end of offensive time!
89 to 105!
"Nice whistle! Li Kaiming deserves to be the strongest man in this league in key balls! Reggie Miller couldn't help but praise Li Kaiming, he is also a player with a big heart, so he is very optimistic about Li Kaiming, a player who is good at key balls.
However, the next Mav Albert started his show again, "LeBron's beautiful pass made this goal, he faked a real pass in the air, and created a very good space for Lee!" ”
Next to Cole and Reggie Miller: ......
However, after playing for a while, Li Kaiming found that when the opposite hand is also very hot, even if he can hit all kinds of difficult shots, the 20-point difference will be difficult to recover for a while and a half, and the biggest possibility is that the last few minutes of the game will be fruitless, and the team should lose or lose.
Therefore, if you want to chase points, you still have to rely on three-point shots, and the efficiency of three-point shots is incomparable to all offensive means.
So in the next half a quarter, Li Kaiming started his solo show!
Delon dribbled across the halfcourt and passed to Li Kaiming, who received the ball and stepped back with a change of direction, and then hit a three-point shot against Griffin's defense!
Attacking in the west, giving an iron to the outside, protecting the backcourt rebounds in the east to launch a fast attack, Li Kaiming was on the front line, and after receiving the pass from the guard, he did not choose to go inside, but stopped directly at the three-point line, and then scored three points under the surprised gaze of everyone!
……
In the third quarter, Li Kaiming was full of firepower after he came on the court, and Griffin was already very well defended, but Li Kaiming still only took half a quarter to shoot 6 three-pointers, and scored 24 points in a single quarter, leading the Eastern troops to chase the score to 121-118, leaving only a 3-point difference!
Zhang Weiping in the media broadcast area was almost hoarse, "This is simply a miracle, Li Kaiming scored 42 points in less than 30 minutes, and his score has now tied with the ancient beast Wilt Chamberlain, becoming the highest single game score in the NbA All-Star Game history!" On top of that, there is still a full section of the game, and Li Kaiming has plenty of time to break Chamberlain's record and write his name in history! This is a record that is unique to him! ”
The fourth quarter of the game began quickly, and in the fourth quarter, the defensive intensity of the All-Star Game instantly went up, and there was no longer the previous scene where one person could burst to the basket and dunk, putting this group of NbA talent guys on the same court, even if there was no run-in, they were solid on the defensive end.
After the game came up, the East team first served, Deron Williams replaced Derrick Rose as the team's point guard, Rose was sitting on the bench at the moment and watched the game seriously, he didn't seem to have much interest in this kind of showy game, played for ten minutes and went down, and then directly changed into a training uniform and never played again.
After arriving at the frontcourt, Delong still looked for Li Kaiming for the first time, because Li Kaiming is currently hot and is also the All-Star ticket king, but the West is not watching Li Kaiming lead the team to chase points.
Griffin couldn't prevent it, Durant also came over to wrap up Li Kaiming, and the West actually chose to prevent Li Kaiming from receiving the ball.
As soon as Delon saw the situation, he knew that he couldn't force the ball, so he called a cover and chose to break through by himself, but unfortunately the defense in the west was also flooded, and it was full of people when he burst into the free throw line and made a basket, and Delon barely couldn't shoot.
The West got the rebound, Paul dribbled the ball over the half court and handed it to Kobe, who shook outside the three-point line, and then suddenly broke through the ball, Wade pounced and knocked over Kobe Bryant directly with an elbow, the referee blew for a foul, Kobe's nose was broken, began to bleed, and the game went into a timeout.
From this round, it can be seen how strong the defense is in the fourth quarter, which is not seen at all in the first three quarters, even if the defender is shaken, it will give the offensive side a face.
After returning to the court again, Li Kaiming looked at the opposite side and found that there was no Kobe!
Kobe Bryant exited directly! It seems that Wade's elbow strength is really not small!
The West took the Turtle Westbrook and Chris Paul as partners, and sent the ball directly to Durant, who faced James to defend the stick and single, but unfortunately missed.
Howard protected the rebound and handed it to Deron Williams, the West troops quickly retreated, dragged the game into a positional battle, and after arriving in the front court, James asked for the ball, and Li Kaiming played blocking and dismantling, and after breaking through to the halfway point, he suddenly couldn't move, so he threw the ball out, and Li Kaiming took over the big black pot and hit the three-point shot directly!
It's 45 minutes! East equalizes!
James filled in another assist statistic, and he looked at Li Kaiming, and a thoughtful expression suddenly appeared on his face.
Since the score can't be compared, it's better than the assist!
After making up his mind, James began to pass the ball to Li Kaiming.
The Western team has no Kobe, so they can only hand over the key balls to Durant to play, but Durant has been playing for a long time before, and his physical strength is not much.
Of course, the western side will not let Li Kaiming, who feels hot, make an easy move, and start to double wrap Li Kaiming to give others a chance.
Of course, the remaining stars in the East can grasp this opportunity, so they seized the opportunity to play a wave, and soon overtook the score, and Durant, who defended James, went to help Griffin cover Li Kaiming, and James played well and quickly filled the data column.
In the end, the 2012 All-Star Game ended in the referee's whistle, and the Eastern Army successfully turned the tables 149-142 and defeated the Western Army, and Li Kaiming won the first victory of the All-Star Vote King!
Li Kaiming was strictly guarded by the Western Army in the fourth quarter, and the final data was fixed at 47 points, 12 rebounds, 7 assists and 2 blocks, although it was not on 50, but it was also the highest score in the history of the All-Star Game!
Although James seized the opportunity to score crazy in the second half of the fourth quarter, the efficiency of two points is not as high as the three-point after all, and the outside defense of the West is better, but the interior frame is not bad at all, and finally James got a double-double of 36 points, 6 rebounds and 12 assists, many of the 12 assists are for Li Kaiming, this kind of opportunity can only be grasped by him, and it is good to change someone to carry a black pot!
With this crushing lead, Li Kaiming also got 8 out of 12 votes in the end, and became the MVP of the All-Star Game for two consecutive years.
How embarrassing it is, it's the king of tickets and mVp, I haven't thought about it before......
James, Griffin, Howard: GUN!
