Jordan in the east finale, Zhou Quan in the west finale, when it was his turn, trotted out, at this time, the scene sounded the guzheng music of the moonlit night of the Spring River, and in the bright lamppost, he played Zhang Sanfeng Taiji thirteen styles.

Wudang Taiji is not a set of boxing, but a variety of martial arts, including Taiji sword, Taiji 36 styles, Liangyi boxing, Wuji Gong, etc., the learning time is short, and the practice is less, and the thirteen styles are considered to be very good for him to learn.

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

With the specially prepared Chinese classical music, it also has an artistic conception, which won the warmest applause in the appearance ceremony.

"Ouch, Zhou Quan is playing Tai Chi, haha!" On the CCTV commentary seat, Zhang Reasonable said happily.

"Didn't you hear him?" Sun Zhenping said with a smile.

"This, this seems like a normal thing, right?"

In Boston, Mai Bao Cicada was dumbfounded.

As a Tai Chi master, who has practiced Tai Chi for decades, Zhou Quan's Tai Chi is too ordinary in her eyes, nothing more than relying on good flexibility and coordination to learn a good look.

But she immediately realized that Zhou Quan was not specialized in martial arts, he was a professional sports athlete, and it was good to be able to play like this.

"Mom, he is very famous in Xiangcheng and is the spokesperson of many international brands." Mako Dan said with a smile.

His eyes showed obvious envy, he has been mixed up in Xiangcheng over the years, and he is a kung fu superstar after Chenglong and Li Lianjie, but he has always been crushed by them, and there are few endorsements of international first-line brands, international first-line brands, which represent international popularity and international commercial value.

Mai Baocian glanced at his son and said with a smile: "I still want you to tell me?" He is now one of the most popular superstars in American basketball, and his popularity has surpassed that of Michael Jordan, and he is the most well-known among Chinese Americans.

If you win the championship again this year, it will be incredible, just debuted with two championships in three years, and definitely jumped to become a superstar. ”

Mako Dan smiled: "Mom, are you quite concerned about basketball now?" ”

Mai Baochan glanced at his son and said: "Didn't I just say, he is the most well-known Chinese in the United States, if it weren't for him, who would watch the NBA?" ”

Zhenzidan glanced at Zhou Quan on TV, shook his head and said, "His Tai Chi is average." ”

Mai Baochan smiled: "People don't practice martial arts, in addition to playing basketball, he can also ice hockey, baseball, golf, boxing, and all of them have reached the professional level." ”

"So omnipotent?"

Mako Dan was taken aback.

At the All-Star scene, David Stern became more and more satisfied with Zhou Quan, and this year was a specially prepared appearance ceremony, which shows Zhou Quan's importance and respect for All-Stars.

"Iron Fist, teach me kung fu, and I'll play with you next year." O'Neill shouted.

"You're in the east and I'm in the west, how can we play together?" Zhou Quan asked with a smile.

"You just teach me kung fu." O'Neill busy.

"Okay, when we get on the field, you don't get in my way, and when you see me rushing in, you dodge." Zhou Quan whispered.

O'Neill was stunned, with a little embarrassed expression on his face, didn't this make him a traitor? But forget it, in order to learn kung fu, a traitor is a traitor.

At half past eight, the race began.

The head coach of the Western All-Star was George Carr, and the Eastern Conference was supposed to be Phil Jackson, but he happened to have an old hip injury, so he was replaced by Hawks head coach Lenny Wilkens.

The Hawks are currently the second-best player in the East, and Lenny Wilkens is also a respected veteran coach.

However, these two head coaches obviously didn't take care of things, and after arranging for the All-Star starters to play, they sat back on the bench to watch the show.

O'Neal and Olajuwon jump balls, attacking in the East.

Among the five All-Star starters in the East, there was no serious point guard, Jordan played the No. 1 position, and Zhou Quan immediately followed him.

Because of Jordan and Zhou Quan's holiday, last year's All-Star was taken seriously from the beginning, and this year's fans are also looking forward to entering the most intense state from the beginning.

"I've got a good show to watch tonight!"

The copyright of this year's All-Star belongs to TNT, and the commentators are the Magic Birds, Magic Johnson said at this time.

Larry Bird nodded, grabbed the microphone and said: "Michael, Iron Fist, the two of you are head-on, no one is allowed to call cover, no one is allowed to call assist, rely on your ability to press each other, OK?" ”

"Heads-up! Singled out! Heads-up ......"

The all-star is a live broadcast, and the TNT commentator is the live commentator, and Larry Bird's words sounded in the target center through the live sound, and the whole audience heard it, and countless fans immediately shouted, obviously Larry Bird's suggestion was recognized and strongly supported by them.

The smile on Zhou Quan's face was even brighter, still staring at Jordan, but his right hand was raised and he made an OK gesture.

Jordan was naturally not to be outdone, and also made an OK gesture.

"Oh Roar......"

The fans cheered enthusiastically.

"Flyer, how about breaking your five goals tonight?"

When he took precautions and retreated, the smiling Zhou Quanwei sprayed trash talk at the same time.

"Iron Fist, you try."

Anger welled up in Jordan's eyes, and a word was squeezed out between his teeth.

That said, but he knew Zhou Quan's ability to make tackles, so he raised the highest vigilance, and after passing through the middle line, he immediately accelerated towards the right wing.

Zhou Quan quickly followed.

Although the rhythm of the passive defense is half a beat slower, his reaction speed is too fast, so it is not half a beat slower, only a little slower.

And his speed is faster than Jordan, he was not thrown off half a step, he stuck to Jordan's left side, using his physical confrontation to slow down Jordan, and at the same time prevent Jordan from breaking through to the right elbow area.

Jordan held the ball to the three-point line at 50 degrees, did not slow down, but continued to force acceleration, but the powerful confrontation made him feel like his body was stuck in a quagmire, unable to accelerate to his heart's content, and his most powerful explosive power could not be brought into play.

But his explosiveness is stronger than Zhou Quan, which is his ultimate talent, and he forcibly accelerated again, and finally broke through the quagmire, broke through, and reached the three-point line.

He doesn't need to get rid of Zhou Quan completely at all, with Zhou Quan's defense and movement ability, it's almost impossible, all he needs is a little space.

Even if he really can't break through, there are still hole cards available, and he can turn around and jump back to shoot with his back, and he can't break out of the space, so create his own space.

"Not good!"

Feeling a lightness on his body, Jordan snorted and burst over, Zhou Quan knew that it was not good, and the next moment, Jordan stopped half a step in front of him.

"Squeak!"

The reaction was super fast, and he immediately made an emergency stop, and by this time Jordan was already in the air, and there was an outward drift movement, coupled with a backward shot, he tried his best to jump up and block, and his hand was still only to the opponent's elbow.

"Brush!"

The basketball brushes down the hoop and splashes the water.

"Oh roar!"

The target center immediately burst into warm applause and cheers.

"First goal, Michael Jordan wins." Magic Johnson shouted loudly with a laugh.

"Drift + flinch, Michael deserves to be a shooting textbook! Then now it's the turn of Iron Fist. Larry Bird laughs.

Postman Carl Malone picked up the basketball and stepped back to the baseline to serve, Zhou Quan was about to catch the ball, but Malone sent the ball to Rocky Richmond.

Richmond knew that the fans in the stadium were waiting for Zhou Quan to return Jordan, so he passed the ball to Zhou Quan.

When the postman saw this, he couldn't help but snort, dissatisfied with Richmond.

Zhou Quan changed direction to bypass Jordan, accelerated on the right flank on the sideline, and hit the frontcourt, but no one really caught him, not even Pippen.

Rushing to the right wing three-point line at fifty degrees, he suddenly slowed down, received the ball under the crotch, Jordan rushed to the front and immediately stepped on the brakes, just when he turned around, Zhou Quan stepped forward and stepped over, from the inside into the flank, the whole breakthrough action was very continuous and skillful.

"Oh, Michael was assaulted." Magic Johnson shouted.

Just when Zhou Quan hit the right waist position, Derrick Coleman came out to make up for the defense, his reaction was too fast, he pulled the ball up at the same time as the emergency stop, and threw the ball to Coleman's head, Richmond, who rushed down from the free throw line, immediately flew up when he saw this, and after receiving the ball in the air, he dunked with one hand and smashed the basket of the Eastern All-Stars.

"Oh roar!"

Immediately there was a roar of cheers from the target center.

"Oh, the beautiful air connection buckle, the iron fist and the rock are very tacit." Larry Bird shouted excitedly.

"Iron Fist is different from Michael, he is a point guard, so although this ball is not his own shot, it can be regarded as a response to Michael's shot just now." Magic Johnson said.

Larry Bird laughed: "From a purely competitive point of view, Iron Fist's individual finishing ability is really not as good as Michael's, but with his passing, the threat with the ball is about the same height." ”

Zhang Li said with a smile at this time: "Zhou Quan is quite smart, if he insists on fighting with Jordan for a personal attack, this is a short blow and a long one." ”

Sun Zhenping nodded and said: "Yes, yes, the combination of individual offense and passing is the most powerful Zhou Quan." Single-handedly twisting out the individual offense and going head-to-head with Jordan is an unwise move to cut off one of his own arms. ”

On the right wing, Jordan held the ball and advanced beyond the three-point line, paused slightly, and in the next moment, he broke through with one hand, burst in and made a quick stop jump shot.

Zhou Quan is no longer as passive as he was in the previous goal, his strongest is aggressive defense, using strong tackling ability to force opponents to make mistakes.

At the moment when Jordan paused and dribbled downward, and the ball just left his hand, relying on the faster nerve reaction speed, he started first, suddenly stepped up with his left foot, leaned over, and poked the ball with his left hand.

Jordan's nerves tensed suddenly, and he instinctively turned to protect the ball, then prepared to turn around and break through the inside to the right elbow, which was his favorite position.

But just as he turned around, Zhou Quan withdrew his left foot, and the distance between the two was pulled back to one step.

Zhou predicted that Jordan would break through from the inside, because the right elbow area was one of the highest shooting percentages in Jordan's field, just below the basket.

At this time, Jordan turned around and broke through, Zhou Quan completed the horizontal move in the early half of the shot, and stabbed his right hand with a precise blow, stabbing the ball that Jordan dribbled to the floor.

"Oh, the ball is broken?!" Magic Johnson exclaimed.

"Damn it!"

Jordan hurriedly stopped and turned around, trying to snatch the ball back.

But at this time, Zhou Quan took advantage of the situation and squeezed into Jordan's arms, while controlling the ball, and then began to go down quickly.

He always rushed in front of Jordan, but only one step away, until he reached the left elbow area, he completed the ball and took off after one step.

Jordan chased behind, slower to jump, it was too late, Zhou Quan's speed was already a little faster than him, and the rhythm was half a beat slower.

"Bang!"

In the next moment, a one-handed dunk, and the basket of the Eastern All-Stars was exploded.

"Oh!"

The audience burst into cheers.

In the first 4 minutes of the first quarter, it was time for Jordan and Zhou Quan to compete, and the rest of the All-Stars became foils.

Each of them held the ball and played 4, Jordan made 2 of 3 shots, scored 4 points and 1 turnover, and Zhou Quan shot 1 of 2 and scored 2 points and 2 assists, each showing their strong side, one is absolute offense, and the other is the combination of offense and passing.

Subsequently, Jordan first reduced his individual offense, began to pass the ball, and unilaterally declared a ceasefire.

He's not stupid, this is an All-Star, not his personal exhibition game, if one person shoots, the Eastern All-Stars will be offended, and when the time comes, he's the one, and he has a private relationship with the average Pippen won't help him.

And Zhou Quan is different from him, he is a real point guard, and he does not give up passing the ball for his teammates when he is fighting with him, and he will not offend people.

Subsequently, the All-Stars entered the normal atmosphere and rhythm, that is, the performance, almost no defense in the first half, all kinds of fancy dunks, all kinds of dazzling offense, so that the cheers of the target center wave after wave.

It was only in the second half that the defense of both teams began to pick up.

In this all-star game, there was no winner until the last minute, and the strength was about the same.

"133:133, now there are 23 seconds left in the game time, the Western All-Stars have the ball, there is no timeout, George Carr and Wilkens leave the game to the All-Stars themselves." Zhang said excitedly.

Sun Zhenping said passionately: "Zhou Quan is moving forward with the ball, he is accelerating!" Passing, passing Jordan, arc top, pull-up jump shot! ”

"Brush!"

The water splashed, and a sword pierced the heart.

Zhang Lili shouted excitedly: "Beautiful! Zhou Quan hit his fourth three-pointer of the game, with 21 points, 11 assists and 3 steals. ”

In the backcourt, Jordan advanced with the ball.

Zhou Quan retreated in front while making harassing tackles from time to time.

Pippen came over to cover, Jordan took the opportunity to hit the top of the arc, stopped the jump shot when Zhou Quan caught up, and also scored a three-pointer.

Everyone stretched their heads and necks to watch, but the basketball was a little shorter, and with a bang, the basket bounced.

"Alas!"

The fans shook their heads helplessly.

Jordan himself regretted that although he was practicing three-point shooting during this time, the time was still short, and he was not as accurate as his mid-range shot.

Da Meng grabbed the rebound in the backcourt, didn't give it to Zhou Quan, and passed it to his old friend Drexler.

Drexler advanced to the left wing of the frontcourt and faced Wilkins' defense, came up with a fake shot and a three-point shot.

"Bang!"

missed, and didn't hit either.

"Ball!"

O'Neal grabbed the rebound, let out a loud shout, and threw it at Jordan, who was on the right wing.

Zhou Quan's return defense was very fast, running one step ahead of Jordan, so O'Neal's pass was back, and Jordan could only slow down to catch the ball.

But at this moment, Zhou Quan stopped urgently.

The moment the ball fell, both reached out to catch it at the same time.

"Smack!"

I don't know whose hand touched the ball out of the bottom line, anyway, after the ball went out of the sideline, Jordan immediately pointed to the frontcourt, and Zhou Quan also pointed to his own frontcourt, indicating that this is our ball.

The referee gave the east, the sideline serve, and there were 7.2 seconds left.

Jordan ran with all his might on the left flank, and Zhou Quan chased behind.

His eyes don't need to stare at Jordan at all, the full-level panoramic vision can let him see any of Jordan's movements, and under the chase with his head down, he will move faster than Jordan, even if Jordan gets rid of him from time to time by covering and running back, he can catch up again every time, and will not give Jordan a large vacancy, only a few small vacancy.

And this time, Ewing, who served, did not take advantage of Jordan's small vacancy in time, and after Zhou Quan caught up with Jordan again, he had to give the ball to Wilkins at the top of the arc, and Wilkins immediately broke through with the ball, and then made a jumper.

"Bang!"

Still missed.

Big Dream grabbed the rebound again and gave it to the glider.

"Big Dream gives the glider every time, this is true love!" Larry Bird quipped.

The magician grinned and said, "The teammates at the University of Houston have a pretty good relationship, and I think they will have to come to a team sooner or later." ”

"Bang!"

The glider shot a three-pointer and missed again.

"Tick!"

After the shot, before the basketball smashed the basket, the light on the rebound came on, and then the full-court whistle blew and the game was over.

A few minutes later, Zhou Quan lifted the AMVP trophy and became the star of the stars of this year's All-Star.

"Congratulations to Zhou Quan, the defending NBA All-Star AMVP." Zhang said excitedly.

"Hopefully this year's MVP will be the same." Sun Zhenping looked forward to the authentic.

"Let's see how the second half of the regular season went. Judging from the current record and his personal data, it is not worse than Big Dream and Jordan at all. Zhang said reasonably.

Then he said thoughtfully: "Judging from Zhou Quan's transaction, the alliance must also want him to come to the west, or even one of the promoters, so he shouldn't be in this matter, and he won't deliberately ......."

Speaking of this, he didn't say any more, but instead said: "But the MVP is commented by the media, and no one can say whether Zhou Quan can get it in the end." ”
