Chapter 157 The Pass from Jordan

The third quarter continued.

In the first half, because Li Shengli and Shaquille O'Neal's winning Sharks took over the game, the East managed to overtake by 10 points. If the players in the West didn't feel good, or there was no rebound guarantee, the point difference would have to be widened.

In the East, Li Shengli was replaced by Johnson.And the West... It is estimated that the Utah Shuangshen is determined to beat the dog in the water, so they all come on stage and face Thomas and Johnson again.

After a wave of ups and downs, Thomas and Johnson's faces were extremely ugly, and their statistics were even uglier than their faces.

Thomas played the first and third quarters with 6 points, 4 assists, and 1 steal, while Johnson played the first and second quarters with 8 points and 4 rebounds. He once wondered if he had the wrong thigh. Did Thomas make too many enemies, which in turn dragged him down?

otherwise……

Why does Ma Long, who has no grievances in the past and has no vengeance in recent days, hate him so much?

Could it be that the biceps, which are as thick as thighs, are stretched out after eating?

……

Didn't care about the game.

Jordan, Pippen, and Li Shengli chatted enthusiastically on the bench. If you have a common enemy, you will be friends, and Thomas' tragic situation is the catalyst for this friendship.

You know, Thomas made Jordan sick when he made Jordan's All-Star debut. Later, in the match against the Pistons, the whole team stared at Jordan's villain. ...Thinking of the style of the Pistons and teammate Jill who was reimbursed for the season, I didn't feel wrong at all.

Until the end of the third quarter and into the fourth quarter, the score of the two sides was 100:94.

Both Thomas and Johnson were taken down. Although both were starters, their stats did not look like starters at all. In consideration of the situation in the Eastern Conference, Riley had already decided...these two guys will be the first players in this year's All-Stars. The journey ends here.

Except for these two, the Eastern Conference team basically changed all over again. Jordan and Pippen re-appeared, Ewing replaced O'Neal, and the Western Conference team put all the starters on.

……

The fourth quarter kicks off quickly.

Maybe it's because everyone worked extra hard at the end of the quarter. Although the defense was still to the point, their personal offenses were all capable of housekeeping. Not to mention efficient, but absolutely fast. Within ten seconds.

So... in the fourth quarter, it became a crazy show where the two sides bombarded each other.

The first is Ewing and Robinson on the inside. The collision of the two centers should have been interesting, but the defense so far has relatively reduced the confrontation, so the two have a [-]-[-] split in terms of statistics.

As for the other positions, there are no obvious advantages or disadvantages. The only one who is a little uncomfortable is... Jordan.

Playing until halfway through the final quarter, Jordan, as the board in the Eastern Conference, of course took the most shots, but his shooting percentage was not too high. He made 20 of 8 shots, 12 of 8 free throws, and a total score of 24, plus 5 rebounds, 4 assists, 4 steals.

Meanwhile, in the West, Karl Malone had 26 points, 12 rebounds and 2 blocks.

If there is no accident, the MVP of this year's All-Star will be produced between these two, and the next half of the game will determine the ownership.

……

The East called a timeout.

Riley replaced Ewing with Li Shengli, because according to the usual practice, as a head coach, Riley needs to consider the playing time of each player, and Li Shengli is the player with the lowest playing time in the East, and his performance is amazing. 9 minutes is really unreasonable , so the next less than 4 minutes will basically be his time.

The total playing time is not much, but they are all playing critical time. Riley feels that this move is enough to stop the bad mouth of the outside media, and it is the first time for Li Shengli to compete with the duo of Jordan and Pippen.

"Li, play well!" Jordan patted Li Shengli on the shoulder, "This is your first time participating in the All-Star Game, I'll pass you a few balls later, and hit the insiders in the West!"

"No, brother, we can just fight normally."

Jordan smiled and said nothing, but Pippen on the side was very sour and jealous, "Oh, my God, Michael, you seem to have never said this to me, this kid don't pass the ball, you pass it to me." , let me beat Barkley!"

"Hey, don't go, remember to pass the ball to me!"

Pippen shouted from behind, but Jordan had already stepped onto the court, and the two sides settled down.

……

East first.

The substitute for Thomas was Mark Price. He pressed the ball to the frontcourt, threw off the defense and passed the ball to Jordan, and Li Shengli immediately stood at a high position. On the one hand, he pulled Robinson out of the penalty area in the west and gave Jordan The opportunity to break through, on the other hand, can also support other teammates in a high position.

After Jordan threw off the defense and rushed into the penalty area, Robinson immediately rushed over to defend. Under normal circumstances, even when facing a defensive center, Jordan would not regress, but this time...he passed the ball to Li Shengli for the first time. , Li Shengli scored an easy layup.

Too easy.

Li Shengli has never felt so relaxed.

Every teammate is a top player in the league, pushing the limits of what they can do at their respective positions, and the moment Li Shengli received the ball, Karl Malone wanted to make up the defense but was blocked by players running without the ball in the East , allowing him to score the goal very easily.

……

The next game.

When the opportunity was not good, Jordan frantically fed the ball to Li Shengli, and Li Shengli reciprocated, and all the rebounds he picked were also sent to Jordan.

"Boy, I really... like you more and more now!" Jordan was having fun, with a smile on his face, "How about it, do you want to consider playing with our Bulls? As long as you want, the starting center position It must be yours, I promise!"

Li Shengli scratched his head and joked: "My contract is not cheap, the Bulls still have salary space?!"

Jordan laughed and said, "It's okay, we can kick Pippen out in a three-way deal to make room for you, what do you think?"

Pippen:? ? ?

Although he knew that Jordan was joking, but the second master Pippenpi was so angry, he ran to the backcourt to defend after swearing, and devoted himself to the game again.

……

The scores of the east and west rose alternately.

Because the lead in the third quarter was still there, the East kept suppressing the West until the end of the game. The score was set at 135:130, and the East won this All-Star Game.

虽说乔丹给李胜利喂了几次球，但李胜利也投桃报李还篮板，使得手感回暖的乔丹数据达到了30分、5板、6助攻、5抢断，十分全能。至于西部队和乔丹争夺MVP资格的卡尔-马龙，30分、13篮板、4助攻、2盖帽。

The West lost!

Malone's MVP is gone!

Accompanied by the roar of the audience, there was a burst of passionate rock music on the scene. Players from both sides squeezed onto the field before leaving the field after the game and shook hands one by one, ending the No.40 [-]th All-Star Game. ...Everyone will devote themselves to the half-way regular season schedule and start a sprint to the playoffs.
