I'm really good at shooting.

Chapter 448 The MVP of the 2006 All-Star Game is... (6K ask for a monthly ticket!!)

"We're talking about who's the perfect basketball player."

Sun Hao said.

Jordan would ask that, and he must have heard what they were talking about.

"So the answer is?"

"It used to be you, now it's me, and the future is him."

Sun Hao glanced at Jordan, pointed at himself, and finally looked at James.

Jordan froze for a moment after listening, and then couldn't help laughing.

"You are really not humble."

He said and sat down.

"Being immodest is part of being perfect."

When Sun Hao spoke, he paused for a moment, then looked at Jordan.

"Just like you."

After Sun Hao finished speaking, James couldn't help but look sideways.

Lun thinks that he has learned "Emotional Intelligence" very well, but it seems that there is still a lot of room for improvement.

Or in other words, he might have to study "Pattern" for a while.

Jordan was overjoyed after listening to it.

"I think the little guy LeBron is right, you're the perfect player."

But what Jordan said next surprised Yi Jianlian, James, and Sun Hao.

It was the first time for them to hear Jordan speak like this. This humble man was not like an old hooligan at all.

But they soon realized that it wasn't modesty, it was recognition.

Jordan has not known Sun Hao for a day or two. He may not be able to say what he thought that day, thinking that Sun Hao will surpass him, but he will still do it to express his approval of Sun Hao through the words James said. of.

James, the sudden high spirits.

He also wants to be recognized by the basketball god, or after defeating Sun Hao, he also wants to hear "you are a more perfect player" from Sun Hao's mouth.

Jordan didn't know that his words would make James think like this. If he knew, he would probably take it back...

While several people were chatting, a Rookie Challenge was going on on the field.

In the first grade, there are two talented point guards, Paul and Deron, but the best performer in this game is not the two of them, but the second-year player Iguodala from Philadelphia.

Iguodala, whose full name is Andre.Iguodala, is called "little AI" by Philadelphia fans because of the same initials as Iverson.

Many fans' impression of Iguodala comes from the unexpected FMVP during the Warriors period, but he was very talented when he debuted in the 76ers, and he was trained as the core of the team.

This is also a very important reason why the 76ers are willing to send Iverson away in history.

Of course, it will be proved that he can only be a qualified second-in-chief in the future, and that will be a later matter.

To put it in a stalk, before training, you don't know whether you choose Paul George or JR Smith.

In this game, Iguodala scored a game-high 30 points and won the Rookie Challenge MVP.

And this is like paving the way for the next day's individual event.

The second day's individual event was the highlight, and it was transferred to the main stadium, the Verizon Center Arena.

The first to start is Shooting Star.

This is also the only project that Sun Hao participated in today.

Despite the excellent performance of the Spurs, under the strong performance of Parker and Steve Kerr, they shot an incredible time of 25 seconds, but Sun Hao's performance like a shooting machine allowed the Los Angeles team to win in 01 seconds. defending.

"Sun's dominance in this project is greater than that in the NBA."

This result made Parker, Cole and others shake their heads, and also made Kenny Smith on the sidelines sigh.

"When Sun won the championship last year, the Lakers finally won the championship. This year, Sun won it again, which shows that the Lakers will successfully defend the title."

Some Lakers fans even posted such comments on Facebook.

I don't know if this is a wave of tainted milk or God's prediction.

Immediately after the Shooting Star was over, there was a Skills Challenge.

This project has received limited attention in the past, but this year is very interesting because the four players participating are Paul, Wade, James and Anthony.

You read that right, in Sun Hao's eyes, this is a big infighting among the "Banana Boat Brothers"!

And the process of the game also made him laugh non-stop.

Paul, who was the first to appear on the stage, tried four times before succeeding in his best passing link, and it took a full 42 seconds in the end.

Wade, who came on the stage immediately after, was just the opposite. He made the pass with one hit, but he made a total of 5 shots when he shot, and it took 39 seconds.

James, who was the third to appear on the stage, acted anxiously. Not only did he pass the ball 3 times, but he also shot 40.5 times. Fortunately, he turned back fast enough, and it took [-] seconds in the end.

But when you thought the third brother was good enough, Anthony shouted that the big brother is here. He failed to pass the ball for the first time, made 5 three-pointers, and ran slowly. It took a full 50 seconds in the end.

These brothers are here to compete who is better!

In the end, in the competition of who is better in the banana boat, Paul and Anthony were the first to be eliminated.

But in the finals, the showdown between James and Wade stopped. Both of their passes and shots were hit with one hit. In the end, Wade relied on the speed of the Flash to win the championship in 26 seconds.

This inconspicuous event was stunned by the ups and downs of the four brothers.

After watching it, Sun Hao felt that when they stopped playing, they could try to develop in Hollywood.

After the Skills Challenge, the highlight of the day is the three-point contest and the dunk contest.

In the three-point contest that started first, apart from Dirk Nowitzki, who Sun Hao paid attention to, there were five remaining players: Terry, Arenas, Ray Allen, Quentin Richardson, and Hamilton.

Except for Sun Hao, the league has found all the best pitchers this season.

If there is no accident, the old driver is "participating" again.

But after the competition really started, it was as surprising as the Skills Challenge.

Arenas, who appeared first, is known as "Little Sun Hao".

Maybe it was because of nervousness, or maybe it was the first time he had no experience in participating, but he didn't even make a single point in the first point!

This made Sun Hao in the stands amused.

Although he performed well later, and made all 5 shots in the last point, he only scored 14 points in the end.

However, Terry, who appeared second, tells you why the All-Star Game is called an entertainment event.

He likes jump shots, but he didn't finish shooting the ball within 1 minute...

He only scored 13 points in the end, lower than Arenas.

"We need Sun to save the game."

Barkley in the commentary seat couldn't help complaining.

The scene also gave the camera to Sun Hao in time.

However, Sun Hao was sitting in the auditorium with Scarlett who came over after filming.

The single fans at the scene ate a handful of dog food unexpectedly.

I don't know if it was affected by this, but Hamilton and Richardson, who came on the stage immediately after, only scored 12 points...

After all, Hamilton is justifiable. After all, he is good at CIC, but Richardson is the defending champion!

But that's not the most entertaining part of this year's three-point contest.

Nowitzki, who followed him on the stage, shot slowly because his last ball was almost a buzzer shot, and it was impossible to tell whether there was a timeout with the naked eye.

Counting this flower ball, he has 14 points. If it is not counted, he only has 12 points like Hamilton and Richardson.

Because it was an All-Star game, there was no replay on the spot, but the ball was counted.

Nowitzki reached the final without any risk.

Among all the contestants, the only one who played normally was Ray Allen. He scored 19 points and advanced to the final with the first place in the preliminaries.

The final three are Arenas, Dirk Nowitzki and Ray Allen.

Anyone with a discerning eye will know that this final list is a duel between Arenas and Ray Allen, and there is a high probability that Ray Allen will win and win the first three-pointer contest championship in his career.

However, the result of the game was once again surprising.

Arenas made the first shot, and he scored 16 points, which was a big improvement over his performance in the preliminaries.

Nowitzki was suddenly brave. He made 10 of 8 shots in the first two points. Although he only scored 2 goals in the last point, he still scored 18 points.

This performance made Sun Hao stand up and applaud Nowitzki.

He knows that his old buddy has been a little depressed in Dallas for the past two years, and if he can win the three-point shooting contest, he will definitely feel a lot better.

And of course, Ray Allen.

Ray Allen was strong under pressure, hitting all five of his opening shots and looking unstoppable.

But the further back he shot, the worse he suddenly shot, and the last point was 5 for 0!

In the end, he only scored 15 points, so he handed over the championship to Nowitzki.

This plot is even more ups and downs than the skills challenge.

But the moment Ray Allen finished casting, Nowitzki had a happy smile on his face.

He has experienced a real-life version of "surviving a catastrophe will bring blessings", and this championship is a surprise enough.

He also became another big player to win the three-pointer contest since Bird.

"Lady luck favors me, I hope this can help Dallas get another championship."

During his acceptance speech, Nowitzki also talked about his expectations.

This year, the Mavericks have played very strong so far, and they are absolutely hot to win the championship. His expectation is also reasonable.

After the three-point contest, followed by the final dunk contest.

Nate Robinson lived up to expectations and successfully reached the final with two deductions and 97 points in the preliminaries.

His opponent was the "little AI" Iguodala who performed well in the rookie game the day before, and the latter also scored 97 points in the preliminaries.

The two were tied in the preliminaries, and even in the finals they were evenly matched.

The slam dunk contest rarely ushered in overtime.

That is to say, in the overtime game, Nate Robinson, known as "Little Potato", leaped over "Potato" Chris Webber to complete a dunk to win 50 points, and finally succeeded in winning the slam dunk contest championship.

He is also the first dunk champion with a height below 1986 meters since 1.

Who was the 1986 Slam Dunk Contest winner?It was "Potato" Weber.

This kind of inheritance is very topical.

The slam dunk contest is over, and the individual events of the day also come to an end.

After a day of competition, although it was a little lacking due to the lack of superstars, the excitement of the competition was not much less.

This also provided sufficient heat for the final day of the race.

On the last day of the All-Star Weekend, the Verizon Center Arena was packed.

If the games of the first two days were a warm-up, then this star-studded All-Star Game is a serious event.

During the entrance ceremony, McGrady and Yao Ming enjoyed the home court treatment, and the cheers overwhelmed almost everyone.

The only one who can't be covered is Sun Hao.

Sun Hao's popularity this season has reached a level that only Jordan can match.

During the warm-up before the game, many spectators with cameras had already started to take pictures in advance.

James was interviewed by reporters on the sidelines.

Sun Hao finished the warm-up ahead of time, saw James being interviewed, and sat behind him not far away.

"Do you want to compete for this MVP?"

The reporter asked James a question.

James has performed brilliantly this season, especially in the past month, and his momentum has even surpassed that of Sun Hao. It is not surprising that reporters ask such questions.

"Yes."

James answered in the affirmative, making no effort to hide his desire.

The third year of his career may be too early for other players, but for him, the "chosen son", time is tight.

Because until now, according to his own standards, he can be described as "doing nothing".

Not to mention anything else, Anthony who entered the league with him has already won the championship.

This is also the reason why he will explode so much this season.

It's time for him to prove himself.

When Sun Hao heard the answer behind him, he couldn't help but look up at James.

Those remarks of James before made him very happy.

And he kept saying what he expected from James before, but he didn't do anything.

The All-Star Game MVP has little meaning to him, and this may be a good time.

After the warm-up ended, the two teams started to play one after another.

Iverson, McGrady, Carter, Yi Jianlian, Yao Ming;

Sun Hao, Kobe, James, Duncan, O'Neal.

Looking at the lineup on the field, the fans can't wait.

Not to mention anything else, four of the ten players on the field averaged 30+ per game this season, and it looks like it will be a battle of soaring points.

Yao Ming got the first offensive opportunity for the Eastern team. Iverson passed the ball after halftime and directly gave the ball to Tracy McGrady.

Facing James' defense, McGrady made a fake shot, made a real sudden stop, and then made an emergency stop, all in one go.

"Shh!"

Tracy McGrady came out on top for the East.

Looking back, Sun Hao took the ball to the frontcourt, and O'Neal took the initiative to mention the high position to play the pick-and-roll.

After Sun Hao broke into the basket, he didn't go straight to the layup, but a return pass to... James!

James was a little unexpected when he received the ball, but he reacted quickly enough to shoot directly.

This is also a big difference between James and the same period in history. He has already grasped the middle distance under the training of Ganon Baker.

The ball brushed the rim and entered the net. Although it was not as chic as McGrady, it was also a one-hit hit.

The Eastern team advanced to the frontcourt again, and the ball went around and went to McGrady again.

Although McGrady's breakthrough layup was interrupted by O'Neal this time, the message sent by the Eastern team is very clear: it is similar to Sun Hao's previous prediction, and they are going to help McGrady "get" an All-Star Game MVP.

Kobe faced Carter's defense and shot back.

"when!"

Pay homage.

The ball was a bit off the mark, and his touch tonight looked average.

The ball from the Eastern team was still handed over to McGrady. McGrady scored a breakthrough this time, and the "cousins ​​connection" passed it to Carter.

Carter made a three-pointer from the outside.

"when!"

Still iron.

This year's All-Stars are shining brightly, but there are constant strikes at the start.

Just like yesterday's individual event, it was unexpected.

O'Neal protected the defensive rebound and threw the ball to Sun Hao with one hand.

Sun Hao counterattacked with the ball, and the West team played a defensive counterattack.

Sun Hao passed Iverson's defense, but he didn't make a layup directly. Instead, he looked back at the moon and gave the ball to James who followed up in the air.

James took the ball and soared into the air in one step, dunking with the iconic Tomahawk with one hand.

"Oh!"

The ball was smashed into the basket.

The "Little Emperor" looked back at the moon, assisted the "Chief" LeBron to lift off, and smashed Huashan Mountain with a battle axe, telling you what it means to rule the world, and the domineering side leaks.

The spotlights on the sidelines flickered, and today's five best goals got.

The All-Star game focuses on performances, and the fans didn't see anything from this ball except for the excitement.

But after the dunk, James looked at Sun Hao very differently.

The previous ball was just an accident, but he was sure that Sun Hao was trying to help him with the ball just now.

This made him inexplicably excited. Perhaps, just like what Jordan said to Sun Hao two days ago, it was Sun Hao's recognition of him!

The Eastern team attacked the frontcourt, and Yao Ming held the ball at the free throw line to support him. He had been observing his partner's movement, and after turning around and attacking the basket to attract double-teams, he quickly distributed the ball.

McGrady, who cut to the basket, received a pass from Yao Ming and soared into the air. He made a one-handed heavy dunk and quickly responded to James' dunk just now.

This caused a burst of cheers from the audience.

This is the "MM connection" most familiar to Washington fans on the scene!

And the belated fans also realized that tonight may be very different for McGrady.

Some people may ask, Yao Ming is the core of the Wizards, and he doesn't have enough hard-core honors, why don't the rest of the East team help him?

The main reason here is Yao Ming's character.

No matter what year it is, no matter whether it is history or reality, Yao Ming has never exerted himself in the All-Star Game.

Without desire, how can other people have ideas?

In the West's offense, Kobe singled out Carter's shot and missed it.

Duncan's quick eyes and long hands took off the offensive rebound and returned the ball to the outside line.

Kobe didn't make the requested move at this point.

If you hit two irons in a row, you will no longer be required. This is very un-Kobe!

No matter what happens, you have to hit the three irons to be regarded as out of form.

However, a signal sent by this is that Kobe does not seem to have much desire for this year's All-Star Game MVP.

Sun Hao was more direct this time, passing the ball directly to James and letting him handle it himself.

There was a commotion at the scene.

James is "solely favored" by Sun Hao!

James forced McGrady and made a layup against Yi Jianlian's help defense, causing the latter to foul the thug.

You may not believe it, but not many people thought before the game that this year's star-studded All-Star Game has become a rivalry between McGrady and James, two small forwards!

Sun Hao, Kobe, Iverson, Yao Ming, O'Neal...all these superstars have become heavyweight "tool men".

This fight continued for the entire game.

And the game is very dramatic.

The overall strength of the Western Conference is dominant. After the opening, they gradually took the initiative and opened up the score a little bit. By the end of the halftime, they had already led the Eastern Conference by as much as 19 points.

As a result, in the second half, Carlisle on the Eastern team put on the combination of MM Gabilups, Anthony and the Detroit Tigers.

The Eastern team began to increase their strength, but the Western team couldn't adapt at once, and the score was caught up a little bit.

Moreover, the Eastern team went all out and continued this momentum in the fourth quarter. With 2 minutes before the end, they actually led the Western team by 6 points.

At the critical moment, Sun Hao stood up. He made consecutive three-pointers from the outside line, plus a fast-break layup after a steal, and personally overtook the score 8-0!

The Eastern team was beaten and could only be called a timeout.

After calling the timeout, Carlisle smiled helplessly and shook his head.

No matter how good the tactical deployment is, there is nothing to do when encountering an unreasonable opponent.

"It's not that he can't get this MVP, he just has no idea."

This kind of performance also made the "Magic" Johnson in the commentary stand sigh directly.

"81 points is not 40 points, it's not something you can get with as many shots as you want."

Kenny Smith on the side has adapted to his new role of "Sun Chui".

After the timeout, the Eastern team has the last chance to attack.

The ball is in McGrady's hands.

McGrady scored 26 points on 15 of 36 shots tonight, not only the highest in the Eastern Conference but also the highest in the game.

It is reasonable to hand over the last ball to him.

Of course, more importantly, it also fits the tone of tonight.

As long as he can make this shot, he deserves the MVP.

If he fails to make a shot, the Eastern Conference loses, and the MVP will be given to James who scored the most points in the Western Conference.

On the Western side, Johnson followed the entertainment nature of the All-Star Game, and did not double-team, but only defended one-on-one.

It was James who defended McGrady.

Such a counterpoint is very exciting.

McGrady pressed to the last 6 seconds, turned around and faced James to launch the last attack of the audience.

He pulled back after a quick breakthrough, and James didn't hesitate easily.

The point difference at this time shows that McGrady can only shoot three-pointers.

McGrady didn't shake James away, so he could only choose to take a step forward, and then retreat to the left to make a three-pointer.

His posture is elegant and full of beauty, especially the last dry pull that makes people unable to take their eyes off it.

But this ball was defended by James and he could only shoot it nearly one meter away from the three-point line, which is not easy for a dry shot.

And James showed his talent, and he also struggled to save and interfered.

Shortly after the ball was shot, the red light on the sidelines followed.

This is a shot that determines the outcome of the game and the final MVP.

The eyes of the fans are all on the spinning basketball.

It's rare for an All-Star game to reach this kind of situation.

Even Sun Hao was staring at the ball in the air.

The backspin of the ball is beautiful, and McGrady's dry pull is textbook.

But there is always a feeling in his heart that the goal will not be scored.

"when!"

The result matched his feeling, McGrady's lore shot hit the frame!

The data will not lie. Compared with Jordan, Anthony, and even Kobe, McGrady's key ball ability is still slightly inferior.

In this way, the MVP of the All-Star Game can finally be determined.

29 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists!

LeBron James!
