Chapter 158: Halfway to Kill and Bite Gold! Du Wei Connection, Brother Basketball!
This year's All-Star Game was played more politely, except for Maddie who was interested in a three-point fight with Doon in the first quarter, the others did not show a posture of wanting the All-Star MVP.
In this way, the East and West All-Stars are basically civilized brushes with each other, each showing a few violent dunks, or trying it outside the three-point line.
On the contrary, players with a more unpretentious style of play, such as Duncan and Yao Ming, only played two balls on the court and went down to rest.
On the Eastern Conference All-Stars side, Carter and Grant Hill didn't spend much time on the court.
Big Van Gundy replaced his henchman Wade, and used O'Neal Jr. to play the No. 4 position to help Doane share the inside pressure.
However, after the Western All-Stars brought Marion and Smalls to the court, they quickly adapted to the speed of the Eastern All-Stars.
The scores on both sides flew up, and even Doon, in addition to making three three-pointers, scored two more under the basket with the help of transition offense.
After just over 6 minutes in the first quarter, Doon had 13 points, 2 rebounds and 3 assists.
From this point of view, as long as the Eastern All-Star team can win, tonight's All-Star MVP basically belongs to Doon.
However, Doon is not alone in thinking about the All-Star MVP.
Although James didn't find enough helpers, he still had Big Z by his side.
After coming off the bench in the first quarter, James also knew that if he wanted to compete for this All-Star MVP, he had to brush up on enough gorgeous statistics.
In addition, James also knows that most of the Eastern Conference All-Stars are already united under the Doane banner.
Then, there is nothing to say, the Tao is different, and it is normal not to give the ball to others.
After James came on the court, the other Eastern Conference backup All-Stars saw that James was actively responsible for dribbling, and everyone didn't care.
Even if you dribble directly after half court and shoot the basket to score, but from time to time pass the ball out to feed others to the cake, everyone naturally has no gossip.
It is precisely because of this that by the end of the first quarter, James also scored 10 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists, which was not much worse than Doon.
However, if you want to be an All-Star MVP, the key is to watch the fourth quarter.
For the Eastern Conference All-Stars, head coach Big Van Gundy was the one who decided the fourth-quarter roster.
No matter how many points James scored in the first three quarters, he couldn't get much playing time in the fourth quarter.
However, before the third quarter was played, other Eastern Conference All-Star players gradually had opinions about James, who played on the court together.
"LeBron, hand over the ball! You've played a lot, and you're here to play, not to see you score alone! ”
"Rookie, pass the ball to me, I'm going to go head-to-head with Kobe!"
"From now on, your task is to dribble the ball across half court, understand?"
Many Eastern Conference All-Star players have expressed their opinions on James, asking James to hand over the ball and become their dribble guard.
In this regard, James knew that he was at a loss, and he could only be forced to hand over the ball.
And the reason for this situation is indeed that James has gone too far.
In the past, the East and West All-Star teams were probably able to score about 90 points in the first three quarters.
Tonight's game is fast-paced, with more rounds, and about 100 points.
But no matter how you make the cake, the plate is so big.
If James wants to eat twenty or thirty points alone, how many points can the rest of the people take?
Normally, a 10-point score in the first three quarters is about the same.
Who can stand an All-Star bench who plays more alone than the team leader and encroaches on everyone's players and scoring data?
Doon has the support of O'Neal, Wade and others, and his personal strength is very good, becoming the leader of the Eastern All-Star team, and everyone is still convinced.
But what qualifications do you James have to pretend to be a big-tailed wolf here?
Pierce, who is also an All-Star substitute in the East, is very unhappy to see James.
You've scored more than 20 points in the half, and I'm only in single digits!
In this case, Pierce was naturally not convinced!
After all, in the regular season, Pierce also beat James and had nothing to say. Now as a teammate, he was ridden to the head by James!
Is there a royal law in this special? Is there still a law?
Not long after Pierce took the lead in "bullying" James, Big Van Gundy also replaced the ignorant James off the court.
However, the rest of the game was nothing for James.
You know, Big Van Gundy originally learned from O'Neal that Doon wanted tonight's All-Star MVP.
Moreover, Big Van Gundy also knows that the two leading players of the Heat, O'Neal and Wade, are good brothers of Doane and support Doon to do so.
So, naturally, Big Van Gundy would not fail to support this plan.
In this case, James, who was killed halfway, naturally had to be solved in advance, so as not to affect the plan of Doon and others.
Just in time, James was replaced, and Doon was back on the court.
Originally, the score on the court was about the same, and Doon had to use some small means in order to be the All-Star MVP.
On the defensive end, he didn't really move, but on the offensive end, he kept holding the ball and bursting to the basket, feeding O'Neal Jr., Big Ben and even Big Z.
Doon, who reappeared in the third quarter, didn't make a single shot, but he just passed the ball to his teammates, and basically didn't score outside, just feeding the cake on the inside.
Grant Hill and Pierce guessed Doon's intentions, and they weren't prepared to get involved in the fourth quarter, so they took advantage of the situation and ate the pie, brushed up their scores, and were done.
It was also the tacit cooperation of the Eastern All-Stars, and by the end of the third quarter, the score on the court came to 103-96.
By the start of the fourth quarter, the Eastern Conference All-Stars had taken a seven-point lead.
However, at the beginning of the fourth quarter, Doon did not play immediately.
It wasn't until more than four minutes of the fourth quarter that Doon returned to the court with Wade and O'Neal.
At this time, the score on the court was already 109-105, and the difference was narrowed to 4 points.
"Dwyan, Shaq, I'll leave it to the two of you!"
In fact, Doon was back on the pitch with confidence.
As long as Wade and O'Neal help him, even if he is four points behind, Doon is confident that he will lead the team to victory, let alone still have a four-point lead.
"Brother, don't worry, we will definitely help you."
"No one can beat Shaq, not even Kobe Bryant and Thiem together!"
Wade and O'Neal quickly replied, and Doon confidently said, "Then let's kick their ass hard!" ”
With less than 8 minutes left in the game, tonight's All-Star Game showdown is finally about to begin!
The players on the court at this time, the Eastern Conference All-Stars are Wade, Doon, Carter, O'Neal Jr., O'Neal.
The Western All-Stars are Nash, Kobe, Maddy, Smalls, and Duncan.
The lineups on both sides are not bad, and they are basically the best players of the season.
However, after Doon and others came on the court, the first attack launched by the Eastern All-Stars, the Western All-Stars were immediately unable to parry.
Doon first tacitly agreed with O'Neal to block and dismantle in the high position, Kobe Bryant came to chase Doon, and Doon was thrown away directly and burst into the basket.
Duncan's interior defense is fine, but against Doon's pace, the pace is undoubtedly too slow.
Not to mention, there is also a down-and-down O'Neal, which is not something Duncan can solve.
Although Xiao Si also stepped forward to help defend it, Xiao Si's defense, whether it was against Doon or O'Neal, was basically in vain.
Seeing Doon step into the basket, seemingly intending to pass the ball to O'Neal, Duncan and Smalls had to be distracted by O'Neal.
Then Doon quickly stepped past Duncan and slipped to the baseline for a layup to score two points to help the Eastern Conference All-Stars stretch the gap to more than five points.
Seeing this, Xiao Si immediately slipped out of the baseline and sent the ball to Nash.
Nash took the ball and pushed forward quickly, but Wade intercepted Nash in midfield.
Nash didn't say anything about the level of ball control, but the physical confrontation was a little worse, and he was entangled by Wade, and he couldn't get rid of it for a while, so he could only pass the ball to Xiao Si behind him and let Xiao Si go down.
Xiao Si also intended to attack the basket directly after getting the ball, but O'Neal Jr. was not a dry meal.
Now that it's the fourth quarter, O'Neal Jr. has taken out a proper defensive attitude, defended from the inside, and is ready to confront Xiao Si.
Seeing this, Xiao Si chose to make a quick stop and shoot from the middle distance, but he was still interfered by O'Neill Jr. and hit the iron in the middle of the shot.
However, Kobe Bryant ran to the basket and rushed to grab the rebound, and he grabbed it very actively, just grabbing the offensive rebound.
But here's the problem, O'Neal in front and Doon in the back, are caught by these two, and both of them are taller than Kobe, how should Kobe shoot?
As soon as Kobe Bryant took the ball to his waist and wanted to find an opportunity to pass the ball out, Doon behind him seized the opportunity to pull the ball away.
Doon stepped forward to stabilize the ball, and then made a quick break to the frontcourt.
With such a change, the Western Conference All-Stars are not unfast.
However, Doon saw Wade go down quickly, so he ran to the bottom corner on the left side and made a gesture to shoot a three-pointer.
The shadow of the famous tree, Doon has just won the three-point king, and naturally no one dares to let Doon go for three empty points.
Because Kobe Bryant was still behind Doon, Maddie, who returned to the backcourt early, saw that the situation was not good, and immediately pounced on Doon.
At this point, Doon passed the ball to Wade by hitting the ground and passing it to Wade, who cut through the basket.
Wade received the ball and went straight to Nash's confrontation and hit the ball into the basket strongly.
The next shot from the Eastern Conference All-Stars was basically initiated by Doane with the ball, and then Wade and O'Neal followed up and scored under the basket.
When Doon was tired, Wade came out to take over the game, but Wade was not in a hurry to attack on his own, and like Doon, he kept feeding other teammates.
As a result, Doon, who played without the ball, instead ate cake because of the empty cut, and the scoring data rose rapidly.
What is brother basketball? Doon finally tasted the sweetness of Du Wei's connection.
At the same time, the audience on the sidelines was also amazed.
"These All-Stars in the East are too buggy, right? Doon, Shaq, Dwyane Wade, and none of the Western Conference All-Stars can match! ”
"It can be said that tonight's Eastern All-Star team is the Los Angeles Lakers in last year's Finals, and you now know how desperate the Detroit Pistons are, right?"
"Congratulations to this guy Doon in advance, the Eastern Conference All-Stars have won!"
"I'm afraid that the peak Michael will not be able to win tonight if he is airborne to the Western All-Stars......"
The effect of the three Doon on the court is very good, Doon has passes, Wade has speed, O'Neal has power!
The trio were already stars, especially Doon and O'Neal, who were both in the top 10 on the regular season MVP prediction list.
Even Wade, because he is an older rookie, is not very valued by other teams and fans.
But this season, since he started working with O'Neal, his fame has also started to grow.
Not to mention, he is now the boss of the first team in the East, the Heat, and his personal strength has been recognized by more people, and he is now at a stable level of the best team.
With the personal strength of the three of Dune, there is basically no way to prevent it.
What's more, judging from tonight's performance, the two still cooperate very tacitly.
Offense requires tacit understanding, and defense also needs tacit understanding.
The All-Star Game is very strong on paper, but if you really have to fight with the top teams in the league, the probability of losing is more than 90%.
But tonight's Eastern All-Star team played like a month or two in advance.
Originally, the Western All-Star team couldn't defend against the individual offense of Doon, O'Neal, and Wade, but now they can still play tactics and cooperate, which makes it even more impossible to prevent.
It was for this reason that as the game went on, there was a quick one-sided situation on the field.
On the Western All-Star side, neither Kobe nor Maddy are ready to throw in the towel.
But Nash and Xiaosi chose to give up in advance.
Originally, they were not good at defense, and now they can't see any hope of winning, so it is better to abdicate and let Hyun rest off the court.
D'Antoni, the head coach of the Western Conference All-Star Team, originally intended to let Nash and Smalls compete for All-Star MVP.
But looking at this posture, the Western All-Stars can't win at all.
So he immediately removed Nash and Xiaosi, replaced the starting lineup, and let others come up to take the blame.
After all, the opposite lineup basically replicates the lineup that the Lakers won last season.
Wade's breakaway plus Carter's shooting is basically Kobe.
Doon is Doon, and it's Doon who is stronger than last year's Finals.
O'Neal is also O'Neal, and he is not necessarily in worse shape than last year's finals.
O'Neal Jr. took Malone's place, because he was at his peak, and he was obviously better than Malone's performance in last year's finals.
As for the remaining point guard, it's not a dribble guard, it doesn't matter anymore.
Grandma O'Neill played and won the championship.
Since even a team like the Pistons, which is invincible defensively, has been beaten by the invincible Lakers without temper at all.
If the Suns duo has no defense, don't be bored on the court.
For D'Antoni's shamelessness, Garnett and Yao Ming, who returned to the game, were also speechless.
In the end, I can only keep turning back and running on the court, watching the Eastern Conference All-Star team perform, and watching Kobe Bryant and Maddie play iron.
135-120, the Eastern Conference All-Stars won tonight's All-Star Game by a huge margin of 15 points.
For the loss, Maddy, who started as an All-Star in the West, seemed very happy.
Kobe Bryant was puzzled and asked Maddie, "Why is Tracy laughing?" ”
"Thanks to you, Yao Ming and I don't have to meet the Lakers who have you, Doon, and Shaq in the Western Conference playoffs!"
Seeing Maddie gloating so much, Kobe, who was sweating profusely and was originally hot, suddenly became as cold as ice.
And Maddie's teammate Yao Ming came to Doon at this time.
"Doon, congratulations! No one can steal your majesty tonight! ”
Yao Ming won the All-Star MVP last year and knows who the league is upholding.
Last year, he was able to have an All-Star MVP, and tonight Doon played a phenomenal performance, a horse with good personal data, and he couldn't win the All-Star MVP.
Perhaps, the only suspense next is, is the alliance going to open a double yolk egg again?
After all, Wade's stats are pretty good, too.
