I really play basketball

Chapter 173 Huge advantage at the beginning
Amidst the cheers of the American West Arena, Lin Xing clenched his fist and waved it twice.

Danzi looked at Lin Xing and understood the meaning of Lin Xing's sentence "This is the All-Star Game".

In the All-Star Game, there is no systematic assistance and supplementary defense.

When Danzi took the initiative to switch to Lin Xing, he didn't think so much.

Now that I have reacted, I yelled in my heart: Not good!
It's impossible for him to switch defenses once he wants to switch back.

Without any auxiliary defense, supplementary defense, and pure one-man defense, Danzi really has no confidence.

"Fk, why didn't I expect that the All-Star Game wouldn't include help defense and supplement defense?"

Just when Danzi felt remorseful and was thinking about how to get out.

On the court, the other stars of the Eastern and Western All-Star teams each completed an attack.

For the Eastern All-Star Team, Penny made a sudden move, and Lin Xing unceremoniously pushed it down.

Turning around to attack the Western All-Star team, Lin Xing first passed a pass to Kemp.

Kemp basically has the three words "non-cooperative" written on his face.

He received Lin Xing's pass, not only did not take the first shot, but he also stopped the ball, and then rushed in with a stride.

Guarding him was Grant Hill, who was as thin as a bamboo pole, and Kemp underestimated the enemy.

But soon, Hill used an extremely accurate lateral movement to directly block Kemp.

Kemp wanted to rush in again, but he couldn't move anymore.

After all, Kemp underestimated Hill.

And Kemp, who had to shoot the arrow on the string, could only throw a fadeaway jumper from the middle distance.

With a bang, Kemp hit the first iron of the Western All-Star team.

Lin Xing spread his hands, what does it mean to lose his wife and lose his army?Camp's wave is called losing his wife and breaking his army.

In the round of the Eastern All-Star team, Pi Er did one.

He went straight to the basket and made a layup with the ultimate split.

It can be seen that Pi Er still has some ideas about MVP in this year's All-Star Game.

However, compared with a group of undisputed veterans in the Western All-Star team, the Eastern All-Star team's intra-team competition is very fierce.

Except for Danzi who is not interested in the MVP of the All-Star Game at all, and Shark who has always regarded the All-Stars as entertainment.

The remaining three starters have more or less ideas about this MVP trophy.

Pi Er will not mention it, he has to consider whether this is the only chance in his life to get the MVP trophy.

There is also Grant Hill, he wants to reproduce Lin Xing's career, that is, he became an All-Star starter in his rookie season and won the All-Star Game MVP trophy.

As for Penny, he managed to market himself as a starter, and he is the master of the Eastern All-Star team.

The ball is in his hands, can he let go of this opportunity?

It's a pity that Penny missed Lin Xing's defense...

Going back to the goal scored by Pi Ergan, he scored 2 points and the score became a 2-2 tie.

Next, when the Western All-Stars attacked, Lin Xing passed another pass to Barkley.

Although Fliggy fought with injuries, he remained in good condition.

In the middle distance, he turned over and made a jumper, and scored the ball against Pi Er's defense.

4 to 2, the Western Conference All-Stars led by another two points.

But in the next round, the Sharks smashed into the big dream and made one unstoppable under the basket.

It was a 4-4 tie. Not long after the tie, Dameng used the same basket singles and returned the ball.

At this point, the star players took turns to fight each other, and they came to the end.

The Eastern All-Star team, Hill's last single.

A vengeful Kemp blocked him in the mid-range, and Hill missed the shot.

Lin Xing, who didn't have to keep an eye on Penny, rushed in and grabbed the rebound. It was Dan Marley's turn to attack the Western All-Stars.

However, Dan Marley is characterized by catching and shooting, which is also a good opportunity for Lin Xing to get assists.

After grabbing the rebound, he rushed directly to the frontcourt, and Dan Marley on one side also had a tacit understanding.

It is mainly the Suns' style of play, which is also fast-playing and fast-breaking.

Lin Xing's rebounding counterattack is very similar to Barkley or Kevin Johnson's rebounding counterattack, Marly is too familiar with it.

He sprinted straight to the corner of the front field, though Penny kept up with him.

Lin Xing still made a cross pass and threw the ball to Marley.

"Corner, Dan Marley against the defense, a three-pointer!
Bang-dang-!
Despite the defensive shot, Marley still missed.

But Lin Xing, who sent the pass, has already rushed to the basket.

The one who rushed to the basket with him was Danzi, and it could only be Danzi.

In the rebound competition, Lin Xing jumped high and beat Danzi without any suspense.

With another bang, Lin Xing grabbed the rebound and pushed the basketball into the basket.

8 to 4, at the end of the star fight stage, the Western All-Star team got a 4-point lead.

Lin Xing scored 4 points and 1 rebound.

He has already won at the starting line...

The star fight stage is over, and then, it's time to enter the main event of the All-Star Game.

Those star players who have ideas about MVP should go all out at this time.

In the round of the Eastern All-Star team, Penny came directly by himself.

As a point guard, he took it for granted.

But Lin Xing's defense didn't give him any face.

"Pence was blocked in the middle distance again, Star's defense was too aggressive..."

Penny had no choice but to pull out one from the middle distance, bang!

Danzi on the side shook his head, not that he was dissatisfied with the way Penny played.

But...

After seeing Hill's CIC and Penny's CIC, he wanted to complain:
Don't young people nowadays practice mid-range shots?

Danzi knew too well how murderous this sharp weapon was.

It can be said that if the 90s want to compete for the O'Brien Cup, they are not qualified if they don't hit the ball.

Kemp actively grabbed the rebound, even if he turned around reluctantly, he could only hand the ball to Lin Xing.

Lin Xing took control of the frontcourt, and Danzi stepped up again.

He bit the bullet and pushed forward. He had no choice but to change everything. If he didn't guard against it to the end.

After the game, there must be something good in the media with the headline "Mike is Cowarded Again".

After all, Danzi had a history of being cowardly against Lin Xing.

In order not to give the media a chance to write nonsense, Danzi could only stand up and continue to defend.

Not only must he continue to defend, Danzi must also show his ambition.

He stood in front of Lin Xing and patted the floor directly.

Meaning: let the horse come!

Lin Xing was still not polite, took a cross step, and then rushed in.

Judging by this posture, it still means rushing to the end.

Danzi retreated desperately, but Lin Xing changed.

He made an emergency stop in the middle distance and shot directly.

"Sida's mid-range shot, Michael reacted, turned around and interfered."

Swish-!
Danzi's interference is given, but Lin Xing's mid-range shot is not comparable to Hill and Penny.

His CIC is not abnormally accurate, but it is also very accurate.

Danzi scratched his head when he heard the crisp netting sound.

At this time, he really wanted to ask: Why are Hill and Penny, who are poor at COSCO, considered his successors, but not Lin Xing, who is accurate at CIC?
Lin Xing made a mid-range shot and scored his sixth point in the game.

The Western All-Star team also further expanded its lead over the Eastern All-Star team with a score of 10 to 4.

The offense of the Eastern All-Star team, Penny continued to exercise the powers of point guard.

He played another single, but was pressed by Lin Xing again.

Since the beginning of the game, Lin Xing has defended the offense for three consecutive rounds.

Now Penny's face can be said to be too bad to be worse.

But there was worse, and worse—

Pi Er, this basketball quotient is very high, but the IQ is very low, and the EQ is even lower.

After Penny delivered food in two consecutive waves of attacks, he directly expressed his dissatisfaction.

"Pass the ball, rookie, why don't you pass the ball?"

Being so questioned by GOAT teammates and seniors on the basketball court in public, Penny's face naturally couldn't be held back.

I can't hold back my face anymore, but Penny is stubborn.

He directly retorted: "If you have the ability, why don't you go and break through Sta's defense?"

In fact, when these words were blurted out, Penny regretted it.

Because he was bragging about Lin Xing in a disguised form, which was not his original intention.

When Penny replied, Pi Er showed a contemptuous expression:
"I didn't say that I wanted to break through Stalin's defense. I was just telling you that basketball is not how you play it. If you can't score by yourself, just pass the ball, OK?"

Pi Er is not stupid, he has seen Lin Xing's defense in the All-Stars last year.

Regarding this, Pi Er has only one thought: Fortunately, Lin Xing is a defender this year, not a forward.

The offense of the Western All-Star team, Lin Xing, who scored consecutive shots, still had no idea of ​​​​passing the ball, and he hit another one.

This time, Danzi carefully guarded against Lin Xing's CIC.

As a result, Lin Xing rushed to the basket in a daze, and made a layup against Danzi.

That's it, at the beginning, Lin Xing scored 8 points in a row, and he was in a hot state.

After Lin Xing hit four goals in a row, Danzi knew that today's game could not go any further.

Unless on the offensive end, he can find his way back.

Heads back, East All-Stars round.

Penny, who couldn't hold back his face, could only pass the ball, and Pi Er happily waited for the basketball to enter his hands.

As a result, Danzi stood up and cut off his beard halfway.

Danzi grabbed the ball with one hand, pointed at Lin Xing with the other, and hooked his fingers again.

Lin Xing scratched his head, he really didn't want to switch defenses.

On the one hand, he felt that he defended Penny very well. Penny was 3-for-0, and Lin Xing's defense was also very easy.

On the other hand, he knew what kind of animal Danzi was, regardless of the fact that Danzi lost the first attack in the opening game.

But that's just Danzi's cold hands. When Danzi finds the touch, why don't he get in casually?
Although he was very reluctant, after all, Danzi had already provoked Lin Xing twice.

If Lin Xing should not do it again, the title of "counseling" after the game may be assigned to Lin Xing.

Lin Xing changed over helplessly, and in the next second, Penny beamed with joy.

Looking at the white and thin Dan Marley, Penny felt that his chance had come.

The opportunity is there, and Penny still has to wait. Who let the basketball be controlled by Danzi now?

Let's talk about the current wave of offense and defense first, Danzi leaned on Lin Xing, turned around and took a step inside.

He just took a step, stopped suddenly, and made a two-point shot.

Swish-!
When the clear sound of wiping the net sounded, even Lin Xing had to admit that Danzi adjusted his state quite quickly.

He was still hitting the iron at the beginning, but now he just made a random shot and went straight in.

As soon as Danzi scored the goal, the Eastern All-Stars, Penny, Pi Er, and Hill were a little nervous.

They all knew that if Danzi changed his mind, he would have an idea about this MVP.

Then they have no chance, who made this year's All-Stars the first All-Stars after Danzi came back?

Just when Penny, Pi Er, and Hill were all worried, Lin Xing continued to attack Danzi against the attack of the Western All-Stars and scored the 10th point of the game.

"It's only been half a quarter of the game, and the score is in double figures. It's so smooth, so smooth..."

14 to 6, the Western All-Stars continue to hold an 8-point lead.

Next, in the round of the Eastern All-Stars, Danzi asked for the ball again.

Penny can reject Pi Er's request for the ball, Penny can ignore Hill's request for the ball, and even Penny can treat the shark's request for the ball as if he did not see it.

Only Danzi asked for the ball, and Penny not only wanted to give it, but also gave it quickly.

Just like that, Danzi caught the ball and made another mid-range shot.

In the commentary seat, Matt Gudica shouted: "Mike is too hard, and now on the offensive end, he and Star are fighting!"

When everyone was expecting Lin Xing to return one, Lin Xing shook his hand and stopped playing with Danzi.

Turning around and attacking, he directly started passing the ball.

He did not forget the promise he made to Kemp before the game, and he made a breakthrough to find Kemp.

Although Kemp didn't want to assist Lin Xing, Lin Xing passed the ball directly to the basket.

This is equivalent to Lin Xing digging a mouthful of rice with a spoon and feeding it directly into Kemp's mouth.

Kemp couldn't help but eat this meal.

With a bang, Kemp hung the basket high and scored the first 2 points of the game.

Lin Xing also received his first assist in this game, which laid a solid foundation for his triple-double in this game.

In the offense of the Eastern All-Star team, Danzi made another attack.

This time he rushed to the basket, made a layup, and scored 6 points in a row.

Turning around to attack the Western All-Star team, Lin Xing made another pass, this time looking for Dan Marley in the bottom corner.

But Marley made a bang, and proved with a shot of fine iron that he really does not belong to this level of competition.

The Sharks grabbed the rebound, and Danzi, who had already scored 6 points in a row for the Eastern All-Stars, felt bored watching Lin Xing pass two consecutive balls.

In this wave of attack, Danzi waved his hand, and he stopped fighting.

Penny, who was facing Dan Marley, was just happy for a second, when Lin Xing saw that Dan Zi had stopped fighting, he immediately pulled Marley and switched defenses.

What's the point of him guarding against Dan Zi if he doesn't fight anymore?

Quickly switch defenses, teaching Penny to be a man is the serious thing he should do.

Penny was dumbfounded, but after all, he wasn't ready to pass the ball in the first second of the offense.

In this wave of attack, he can't be discouraged by anything.

As a result, Penny missed 4 shots against Lin Xing's defense.

Pi Er spread his hands, even the good old Grant Hill was dissatisfied.

Turning around, Lin Xing passed another ball to Kemp's mouth. Kemp made a layup and scored 4 points in a row.

Pat Riley on the sidelines saw that something was wrong and called a timeout.

In the commentary seat, Marv Albert was also stunned: "This is an All-Star game, and the head coach calls a timeout on his own initiative. It's really rare."

"No way, who made the Eastern All-Star team lead 18 to 8 by 10 points at the beginning?"

"Penny Hardaway, 4 for 0, is outrageous..."
