Chapter 805 Tell Everyone A Ghost Story
Every time he plays an All-Star, Wei Xia can't help but compare with the All-Stars of the 60s, 70s and 90s.

There was no difference between the All-Stars in the 60s and the official games, because there were only a few audiences. Although there was a concept of performing for the audience, most people didn't know how to do it.

So, the original All-Star Game was very close to the "best players from the East and West get together for a real fight" model that modern fans want to see in the All-Star Game.

In the early 70s, Earl Monroe and Maravich brought the mode of acting.

Basketball technology has since entered an era of innovation, and the prototypes of various modern technologies appeared at that time.

Wei Xia personally experienced the All-Star Games of those two eras from Havlicek's perspective, and feels very valuable in actual combat.

It's a pity that during the 60s, the Cardinal always served as the coach of the eastern star team. He would deliberately add more stars from other teams so that his players could get time to rest.

This phenomenon is reversed in modern times.

The head coaches of the star teams all want their players to play more, which will help increase their exposure.

In the 90s, Wei Xia mainly watched it through the TV at home.

The All-Star Game of that era may be the closest to the fans' standards.Except for the ultra-long three-pointer, all the cool skills have been perfected. Michael Jordan performed an aerial dance that is rare in the 21st century every three days. The glider took off, the magician "showed him", and even Ewing's seemingly wretched bunny jump shot.He thinks the All-Star Game of the '90s was the best.

When Wei Xia can play the All-Star Game in person, not many people are willing to be serious on this stage.

The All-Star Weekend began to turn into a family-style entertainment, entering the so-called era in Barkley's mouth that "people who play seriously in the All-Star Game are so sick".

Fortunately, there are sick people like Kobe in this era. In the first 21 years of the 10st century, the smell of gunpowder in the All-Star Game was probably brought out by him, a typical "black sheep".

This year, Kobe Bryant froze.

Due to his extraordinary popularity, he is still one of the most popular stars, and fans have put him in the starting lineup with great enthusiasm.

However, the protagonist is not him.

The Mesozoic generations such as Wei Xia, James, and Durant are the protagonists.

Curry, Harden, Westbrook, Lillard, Anthony Davis, Cousins, Hayward, Lowry and other rising stars are the protagonists.

Then, this main match, comparable to an LCK game, began.

James Harden fired from outside the three-point line, setting the general direction for the game-Davarich, let's shoot three-pointers together!
Harden hit consecutive three-pointers to put the West in the lead.

In the middle of the first quarter, James seemed to justify his shots, making three three-pointers, one throwing farther than the other.From this, Wei Xia determined that the Chosen One, who aimed to be on the throne of the Pantheon, has at least one skill that has surpassed the lingering ghost in Chicago-three-pointers!His three-pointers are obviously better than the latter.

But the real protagonist of this game is Russell Westbrook, who has scored triple-doubles in many games recently.

He scored 12 points in the first quarter and hit consecutive three-pointers in the second quarter.

Three-pointers began to form a trend, you also shoot, I also shoot, everyone shoots from the outside.More and more players are investing in the "torrent" of three-point shooting. In addition to a group of guards, even LaMarcus Aldridge has come to join in the fun.

Their display of range put Wessia to sleep.

When a teammate passed the ball to his hands, Kobe took the initiative to defend.

The Eastern and Western stars who almost hypnotized Madison with three-pointers finally discovered what the audience liked.

At least compared to their irresponsible **** shooting three-pointers randomly, the audience prefers Wei Xia and Kobe's heads-up that they are familiar with but insist on killing.

Kobe probably used all his strength to make a human when he came home at night with Vanessa.

Looking at his expression, it's as horrifying as Minako Koukai's peak moment. After watching it, you just want to give a bad review and comment on exaggeration.

In this round of matchup with Kobe, Wei Xia used his amazing skill to connect the ball in front of his body, his crotch behind his back, and change direction with one hand.

Kobe was swayed, Wei Xia immediately took off on one foot.

He jumped into the air gracefully and made the shot.

Then, the phrase "Holy Wish!", which the fans had been looking forward to all night, screamed from the commentator.

It's just that Wei Xia is different from Kobe.Although he cheered up the western stars before the game, but at the beginning of the game, although their faces were angry, their body movements sincerely chose a more relaxed way of playing.

The looseness and indifference they displayed is the main reason for the hypnosis of this game.

Three-pointers, three-pointers, three-pointers.

The two James' three-pointers in the east and west were hot, and Westbrook repeatedly used his zombie jumpers to rape the basket.

However, watching them shoot three-pointers is not as interesting as the Splash Brothers of the Golden State Warriors.

The Splash Brothers entered the All-Star team together, and under the command of coach Cole, the Warriors can be said to be the big winners of the All-Star Weekend. As the Warriors' main player, Curry's performance space is naturally more freehand.However, he doesn't seem to be so eager for AMVP. After winning the three-point contest, Curry did not have too obvious pursuit in the All-Star game.

Both he and Thompson are credited with torturing the rim.

They also shoot three-pointers. The two most accurate three-pointers in the league are recognized as the most accurate in the game.

Thompson is a typical combat shooter, just like Duncan in the second position.

He has all the skills that a classical second position should have.

Fortunately, there is Curry in the West.

In the third quarter, Curry staged a shocking one-stop breakthrough.

He dribbled through from the backcourt. When facing the first defender, Wei Xia, Curry changed direction and used Gasol's pick-and-roll to throw off the world's default league No. 1. Then he dribbled the ball from his left hand to his right hand, and squeezed past Hayward who was defending. At this time, Cousins ​​led the defense all the way to his left.If it was an ordinary player, he might slow down and falter at this time, but Curry didn't do that. He didn't speed up or slow down.

This ball, whether it is the acceleration and change of direction when passing the screen, the quick backhand before the back dribble and the body when facing the closed defense, or the low hand and high throw in the air in the final stage, all have very high technical content.

Moreover, Curry plays with a light rhythm, which makes his posture more graceful, stretched and generous, and highly ornamental. He can play such a set of chic and elegant one-stop. Curry is also worthy of the support of the fans, and by the way, he helped Thompson win respect.

Although Wei Xia singled out Kobe's gimmick;

But Kobe is old after all, it is difficult for him to fight back;
James has always been a dunk machine in the All-Star Game, but tonight he became obsessed with three-pointers;
Three-pointers, damn three-pointers became the core of the game.

Throughout the game, the distribution of three-pointers on both sides showed an exaggerated side. Of the 24 stars on the field, only Wecha, Duncan, Cousins ​​and Horford did not take three-pointers; 7 of them made no less than 10 three-pointers.

It stands to reason that there are more three-point shots and more long rebounds. Players grab long rebounds and directly push back.In the All-Star game mode, everyone is loose on defense, and getting a rebound is a chance to perform dunks.

But these people seem to have a wrong perception of the audience's G-spot.

They had the opportunity to counterattack dunks but they were as dazed as fools who were shopping around with the ancient dragon BUFF in their hands. They didn't know how to continue, so they made a chasing three-pointer to make the audience even more depressed.

著名的毒舌比尔·西蒙斯在半场结束的时候就发推吐槽了：“2011年全明星赛双方共出手60记三分球，2012年是66记，2013年是71记，2014年是100记。而2015年全明星赛在不到9分钟就没意思了，双方已出手了113记。李们在赣神魔？”

Because the two sides are too obsessed with three-pointers, although Wei Xia is unwilling to join forces, he can't change the general trend.

He can only show his attitude by refusing to shoot three-pointers.

In the whole game, Wei Xia scored 8 points. Of these 8 points, one singled out Kobe, and the other three were counterattack dunks.He thinks he deserves the audience's vote.

When everyone shot three-pointers, Kobe was not in the mood, and the other Durant who had attracted attention seemed to be forgotten by the world after beating the reporters. The audience scored three points, which was really not what he, the third person in the world, should have.

In the whole game, the West Star team made 25 three-pointers and the East Star team made 68 shots, both of which are the first in history; both sides made 133 three-pointers and hit 48 goals, which is also the most in the history of the All-Star Game.The increase in the number of three-point shots also created a high-scoring game that broke multiple All-Star Game history records.In this game, the West Star team led 83-82 at halftime, and the two sides scored a total of 165 points.The West Star team scored 321 points, tying the record set by the East Star team last year.

Wei Xia watched Westbrook win the AMVP from a distance, not at all sad for losing the main game.

He smiled into the microphone and said, "Tell everyone a ghost story. Next year, these guys will shoot more three-pointers."
