Doon knew that O'Neill was pua him, but at this time, he might as well agree first.

After all, it's a surefire deal.

"Shaq, who of the two of us is with whom? We are brothers! As long as you ask, I will definitely help you with this! ”

Doon patted his chest and then patted O'Neill's thigh again, signaling him to relax.

There are a total of 12 players in the Western All-Stars, Doon is the starter, O'Neal is the bench, and the time of the two staggered should be six or seven minutes after a whole game.

There is only so much Doon can do for O'Neal, and the only thing he can do is pass the ball to O'Neill during this time on the court.

Originally, in the past two months, Doon has been specializing in this skill.

As long as you don't have an idea about the MVP of the All-Star Game, then the All-Star Game stats don't matter!

In this case, it doesn't matter if Doon shares his ball with O'Neal, he can only say that one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer.

Besides, Yao Ming and O'Neal are starters and substitutes, and the two will not be on the court at the same time, and Doon does not need to face the choice of passing the ball to both at the same time.

Now Yao Ming has 14 points, and Francis will feed Yao Ming the ball in the next three quarters.

Even if Dune no longer passes the ball to Yao Ming, after the whole game, Yao Ming will say twenty or thirty points.

If Yao Ming can cut out 30+10 gorgeous data, even if Doon rivets O'Neal with all his strength, it will be difficult for O'Neal to snatch the All-Star MVP from Yao Ming.

Unless O'Neal has a heart, he doesn't want to win the game if it's not the MVP and gives the win to the Eastern All-Star team.

Otherwise, Yao Ming won't be able to win tonight's All-Star MVP, only because he doesn't want to work too hard and doesn't want to compete with O'Neal for this All-Star MVP.

If that were the case, Doon wouldn't have been able to flatter the blind man.

Thinking about this, Doon stopped paying attention to the situation on the field.

Instead, he began to boldly imagine that in the second half of the regular season after the All-Star Weekend, with O'Neal's prestige in the locker room, he began to call the shots and gradually try the ability to lead the team brought by the Kidd template.

The Lakers, who have an F4 roster, have a strong ability to play back, and if Kobe doesn't mess around, Doane, who has the ball, can do more in the triangle offensive system and don't have to worry about the team's record.

Superstars or supergiants, if you want to win the championship, you usually need one or more sets of tactical systems.

If you don't want to become a mercenary, you must tailor a system that is more suitable for your own performance.

Doon has no other choice, and the only tactical system he has at his disposal is the triangle attack.

However, the triangular offensive system is really awesome.

Whether Doon is playing the ball in the center now, playing for the OK combination, or becoming the endpoint in the triangle offensive system in the future.

This tactical system can bring a lot of help to Doon.

Kidd can be a coach after retiring, and the level is not bad, digging out Brother Alphabet and leading the Mavericks to the West.

With the help of the Kidd template, Doon can also completely eat the triangle offense and turn it into his own tactics.

At that time, Doon will become the absolute core of the self-contained system.

Whether you continue to stay with the Lakers or leave for the next stop, you can be prepared.

"Brother, were you scared by Shaq's violent buckle? That's right, standing in front of you is Superman Shaq, Shaq from Krypton! ”

O'Neill's voice rang in his ears, and Doon came to his senses.

Scratching his head, he looked left and right, only to find that the first quarter of the game had just ended, and O'Neal and other All-Star benches just returned to the bench from the court.

During the break, Sanders laid out the roster for the second quarter a little and then didn't say anything more.

Because there are seven All-Star benches, two of the All-Star benches who did not get playing time in the first quarter will play in the first half of the second quarter along with the three All-Star starters.

Kirilenko and Nowitzki are the two "redundant" Western All-Star substitutes.

Next, he will cooperate with Francis, Kobe and Yao Ming in the first half of the second quarter.

This means that in the second half of the second quarter, Doon will be on the court with O'Neal.

O'Neill had already guessed this, so at the end of the break, he immediately came to Doon's side and curryed favor with Doon in every possible way.

After the first quarter of the game, O'Neal scored 6 points and 3 rebounds on 3-of-4 shooting.

Because there was no one to feed him, O'Neal could only take the ball in the low post and play it with his back to the single, and then mostly finish with hooks and boards.

After all, the opponent didn't defend hard, but people were standing under the basket, and O'Neal couldn't squeeze under the basket with brute force without a head, and then slam the buckle on people's heads.

In a way, the first three quarters of the All-Star break weren't for O'Neal.

O'Neal really needs Doon's help if he wants to get better stats.

Time passed quickly, and after the official timeout in the second quarter, Doon and O'Neal began to prepare and play together.

"Doon, don't forget the agreement between us!"

Looking at Yao Ming's gorgeous data of 20 points and 5 rebounds on 10-of-12 shots in the first half, O'Neal couldn't help but give Doon another command before he went on the court.

Doon said angrily: "Now I'm the boss, Shaq, you give me obedient words!" ”

O'Neal was immediately deflated when he heard this, he did agree to support Doon as the boss of the Lakers, and Doon is understandable to say so.

Moreover, O'Neill also knew that Doon might have thought he was a little annoyed, so he also chose to obey orders and obediently shut up.

After returning to the court, Doon was like O'Neal had agreed before, as long as he got the ball in the front court, he would break through with the ball and find O'Neal under the basket and pass the ball to O'Neal.

With Doon's help, O'Neal finally found an opportunity to show off his shark splash moves in the All-Star Game.

The Eastern All-Star team's basket was crumbling for a while, and fans at the scene were worried that the basket would be overwhelmed and destroyed by O'Neal in one fell swoop.

And Big Ben under the basket was a little numb in the scalp, the first quarter against Yao Ming, the second quarter against O'Neal......

Ben, who was detained to doubt his life, pondered: "Am I here to participate in the All-Star Game, or am I here to suffer?" ”

Fortunately, Big Ben's single defense against O'Neal lasted for half a quarter of the game.

O'Neal scored eight points on Big Book and returned to the bench triumphantly.

After playing the first half, O'Neal had 14 points and 7 rebounds, and Yao Ming had 20 points and 5 rebounds.

Although there is a big gap between the data of the two, O'Neal feels that this is the Staples Center, and there is still a little home court advantage in the selection of the All-Star Game MVP.

And because the Western All-Star team took an 8-point lead in the first half and continued to play, O'Neal felt that the hope of winning the All-Star MVP was naturally getting bigger and bigger.

It just so happened that during halftime, O'Neill overheard Sanders talking to Yao Ming.

Yao Ming said that after 6 minutes of the third quarter, he was not ready to continue playing.

This is also exactly what O'Neal wanted, if Yao Ming insists on playing the fourth quarter, it will be more difficult to achieve a data overtake.

However, Yao Ming's performance in the third quarter was also somewhat unexpected by O'Neal.

With the support of Francis, Yao Ming played 5-of-6 shooting, 10 points and 2 rebounds.

In other words, even if Yao Ming only played 18 minutes in this game and did not play for the second quarter and a half, he had already played 15 of 18 shots, 30 points and 7 rebounds.

As long as the Western All-Star team wins, Yao Ming wins the MVP with this data, which is definitely more than enough.

Although Yao Ming's influence in this game is really not great, I have to admit that basketball is the team with more points, and the game of victory!

O'Neal returned to the court with apprehension, but Doon quickly shoved the cake into O'Neal's mouth.

With O'Neal's talent, even if he was a little distracted, he still subconsciously made a coherent action to dunk the ball into the basket.

Then Big Ben was confused: "Why did O'Neill use so much strength?"

I didn't even try to defend against it. Who him off?

No, why am I the one who hurts? ”

Instinctively completed the dunk, O'Neal came to his senses and realized that he was back on the court and was charging towards the All-Star MVP.

At this point, O'Neal naturally can't give up the victory in this game and give up the pursuit of the All-Star MVP.

The other Western Conference All-Stars weren't fools either, and it quickly took a guess as to why O'Neal was so scrappy and gave it his all.

However, they did not pass the ball to O'Neill because they sympathized with O'Neal for being a two-year substitute for Yao Ming at his peak.

Originally, the All-Star Game was a show, and everyone wanted to brush up on the data, and they all needed the ball.

O'Neal and the Lakers are the big devils who prevent them from rushing out of the West to win the championship.

So at times like these, no one reached out to O'Neal.

By the end of the third quarter, O'Neal only had a quasi-double-double of 21 points and 9 rebounds with the help of Doon.

Although O'Neal still has a chance to catch up with Yao Ming, O'Neal is only left with half a quarter of game time.

It's just that this half quarter of the game is still the All-Star Game, and the toughest half quarter of the defense is really swords.

"Philip, arrange Kobe and Doon in the second half of the fourth quarter, and play with me!"

During the intermission, O'Neal had to go to Sanders for help first.

At this time, Garnett took the initiative to stand up: "I'll play with Tim in the first half of the quarter, and I'll give it to Shaq in the second half!" ”

Because of the unspoken rules, Garnett can't grab the All-Star MVP, so he doesn't have any thoughts about the All-Star MVP tonight.

So he wanted to finish the game early and go back to rest, and by the way, he brought his old opponent Duncan with him, and asked Duncan to give him a center for 6 minutes.

Duncan has no problem with this, so the starting list and bench list for the fourth quarter are basically decided.

Starting XI: Francis, Ray Allen, Kirilenko, Garnett, Duncan.

Subs: Kassel, Kobe, Doon, Nowitzki, O'Neal.

The starting lineup of the Western All-Stars in the fourth quarter, although the defense of the guard line is average, but the help of Kirilenko and Garnett directly makes the flanks and in front of the restricted area into no man's land.

In addition, there is Duncan under the basket, this is a no-man's land and a no-fly zone, and the copper wall is ironclad!

Byron Davis, who had just won the skills competition, saw the scene, dribbled halfway through the court, and handed the ball to Michael Reed.

Reed found his big brother Ray Allen to learn from his skills, and although he hit a few, under Ray Allen's defense, his three-point shooting percentage was relatively average, only 2 of 5 shots.

Pierce also came to try, but under Kirilenko's defense, the ball in his hand was almost taken away.

As a result, O'Neal Jr. singled Garnett with the ball, but he didn't want to hit an inefficient shooting percentage of 1-of-3.

also relied on the first half of the fourth quarter to consolidate the advantage, and before the second half of the fourth quarter started, the Western All-Stars had already gained a 10-point lead.

When Doon and others came on the court, the most unexpected thing was that Kobe Bryant burst into the basket as soon as he came up and fed the ball to O'Neal.

Although O'Neal didn't know why Kobe Bryant suddenly changed his sex, he didn't bother with it, and when he got the ball, he worked hard to attack the basket and strive to surpass Yao Ming in statistics.

In Doon's opinion, I don't know when, O'Neal actually bought Kobe Bryant!

"Is O'Neal doing two peach killings and telling Kobe Bryant what he said to me before?"

In Doon's cognition, if it weren't for O'Neal taking the position of boss to fool Kobe, Kobe would not have taken the initiative to help O'Neal.

With this unexpected situation, Doon didn't know what to do.

If you continue to do what you agreed before, it seems that you will be deceived by O'Neill!

Yao Ming is also a symbol of the men's basketball team, and as a Chinese player, Doon still hopes that Yao Ming can win an All-Star MVP.

is also unwilling to be at the mercy of O'Neal, after Doon got the ball, he pretended to rush to the basket, and passed the ball a little off.

O'Neal didn't receive the ball, Doane made a mistake in the pass, and Jamal Magloyle stole the ball.

Everyone present didn't think there was a problem with Doon, after all, there was indeed a risk of passing mistakes in the crowd.

Not to mention, Doon didn't take the initiative to attack tonight, either passing the ball to Yao Ming or passing the ball to O'Neal.

Judging from Doon's stats column - 0 points, 4 rebounds and 8 assists, it is clear that Doon is not a player who cares about statistics......

Originally, in the second half of the fourth quarter, Doon only had two or three possessions.

In the fourth quarter, it was another critical moment, Kobe Bryant saw that O'Neal's scoring data was still worse than Yao Ming, and he was also anxious for O'Neal, so he took the initiative to find Cassel to get the ball.

Dunn couldn't touch the ball, so he happened to play soy sauce on the side.

As he was playing, Doon suddenly noticed that Maddie, who was in the opposite position, seemed to be paddling as well.

It just so happened that the two of them took a walk together in the corner of the bottom where no one noticed.

I don't know where Doon attracted Maddie's interest, but Maddie actually took the initiative to ask Doon for contact information.

"This is Shaq's territory!"

With O'Neal's slam dunk and a roar, the Los Angeles All-Star Game came to an end.

132-139, the Western All-Stars defeated the Eastern All-Stars by 7 points and became the winners of the All-Star Game.

And the real big winners are the pillars of the Western All-Star team - Shaq O'Neal, and Yao Ming!

Stern, the little old man, was very bad, and at first he only pronounced O'Neill's name, then paused, looked around at the reactions of the others, and then pronounced Yao Ming's name.

Hearing the boos of the Los Angeles fans at the scene, Stern grinned instead of paying attention.

Obviously, Yao Ming's name was forcibly added by Stern.

Stern has been promoting the globalization of the NBA, focusing on the development of the Chinese market.

All-Star MVPs have commercial attributes and entertainment attributes, and there have been no cases of double yolk eggs before.

As early as four years ago, O'Neal and Duncan received the All-Star MVP trophy together.

What's the point of letting O'Neal, the double-yolk egg All-Star MVP, go through the same experience again this year?

In terms of statistics alone, O'Neal only has 29 points and 12 rebounds!

If Yao Ming hadn't taken the initiative to give up his playing time in the fourth quarter, he wouldn't have only 30 points and 7 rebounds.

Because he got the All-Star MVP as he wished, O'Neal, who guessed the truth, did not make a fuss, but enthusiastically hooked shoulders with Yao Ming and celebrated with each other.

While the All-Star MVP award ceremony was jubilant, in the corner that no one cared about, Maddie pulled Doon, who he had just met, to chat......

If it weren't for the fact that Maddie and Francis would switch clubs in the offseason, and that Maddie was about to get injured, Doon would have been interested in talking to Maddie for a while.

It can only be said that no one is qualified to call Doon a brother.

In the end, Doon only exchanged contact information with Maddie, as if they were multiple friends and multiple paths.
