Chapter 142 The All-Star Battle (End of the second update)

After returning to the hotel, Li Du was very excited.Up to now, there are only two people in the NBA who can be called enemies and friends. Roy only really started to get along this All-Star Weekend. James, since the first time the two played against each other last season, has Admire each other and compete with each other.

In the final analysis, James is Li Du's first friend who is both an enemy and a friend. He is also the only NBA player he has met so far that he has not been sure to defend against. What kind of scene will it be if he goes to war with James? ?The more Li Du thought about it, the more excited he became!
The next day was the All-Star Game, Li Du and James both came to the stadium early to prepare.Whether it is Li Du or James, they both attach great importance to each other, and they are not sure that they can win each other, so they must prepare in advance.

James arrived at the arena early and started warming up and practicing.Li Du was sitting on the sidelines with his hands folded, not speaking, with his eyes closed, as if he had fallen asleep on the sidelines.Anyone who knows Li Du knows that this is Li Du's way to maintain his energy and state, silence.

But this time, Li Du closed his eyes not to be silent, but to keep deducing in his mind what would happen in the fight between himself and James, so as to make himself have a good idea of ​​the fight between the two sides.This method is handed down by the older generation of martial artists to deal with masters who are equal to or slightly stronger than themselves, in order to analyze and understand the situation of their opponents and themselves to the greatest extent, so as to formulate the most beneficial for themselves. strategy.

This method of deduction seems to be just sitting quietly, but it actually consumes a lot of energy, because the brain is spinning rapidly, and it will consume a lot of energy. If it is not for an opponent that you have no confidence in, no one will do this!When Li Du uses this method, it means that he will go all out!

After a long time, Li Du opened his eyes and sighed: "LeBron is really terrifyingly strong. His physical qualities such as speed, strength, jumping, and agility are far superior to ordinary stars. No wonder some people call him a flying tank! Also, with the strength and weight of a center forward, the speed and jumping are also top-notch among small forwards, so the combination of these two top physical qualities is really terrifying! God is not so fair sometimes!"

Li Du lamented James' strength, but he was not doomed. Years of uninterrupted practice of Chinese martial arts made him look thinner, but he was actually not weaker than James!

Prepared in his heart for today's battle, Li Du stood up, put out the Hunyuan pile that Xiong Ying attacked together, and silently recovered his physical strength.

I don't know how long it took before Kobe's voice came, "Li, you've been standing for a long time! Huh? Didn't I hear you say this position, is this the way you recover your strength? What, you fought someone else? "

Li Du opened his eyes, stopped his momentum, and then said to Kobe: "Boss, I am preparing for today's all-out fight with LeBron!"

"Fight against LeBron?" Kobe frowned and said to Li Du: "Li, you are overthinking. Today is the All-Star game. Until the last critical moment, everyone will not take it too seriously! And you are a substitute player, LeBron is the starting forward in the Eastern Conference, I am afraid it will be difficult for you to match him!"

Li Du smiled lightly and said, "It's okay, it was LeBron who suggested it, and he should have a solution!"

Li Du's words made Kobe's eyes widen. "LeBron asked you to fight? Why? Didn't he always want to win the MVP of the All-Star Game? If he played against you, he might not get it!"

So Li Du told Kobe exactly what James had invited him to see Wade and Anthony last night. After speaking, Li Du's eyes brightened and he said: "Boss, you are right! Great star , We need a great opponent! Because only a great opponent can force out a greater self! I think that’s what LeBron and I are like!”

Seeing Li Du's impatient look, Kobe didn't say anything more.He knew in his heart that Li Du, as a substitute player, in the All-Star game where everyone's playing time was relatively fixed and was cut into pieces, there might be one or two rounds of confrontation between Li Du and James. But it will never be the subject of tonight's All-Stars.

For Li Du, James is one of the strongest players he wants to challenge, but for James, maybe Li Du is just a touchstone for him to verify how much his strength has improved, nothing more!

Having been in the NBA for many years, Kobe knows very well that James is going for the MVP!To make an appointment to fight Li Du, and to fight Li Du with all his strength, it is very likely that there is a meaning to prove it to everyone.

"LeBron, you scheming guy!" Kobe murmured to himself, with a sneer on his lips, "But if you want to use Li Du's reputation to prove your strength, I'm afraid you've made a mistake! I'm sure, you You will definitely regret this decision!"

It didn't take long, and with a burst of passionate music, the 2007-08 NBA All-Star Game officially began.Li Du and other Western Conference substitutes played together, and then the starters played one by one.

At this moment, Li Du had no one else in his eyes, only James, and he didn't even pay attention to the Chinese Yao Ming's appearance.

The Eastern Conference All-Star starting lineup is:
Center, Dwight Howard.

Power forward, Chris Bosh.

Small forward, LeBron James.

Shooting guard, Dwyane Wade.

Point guard, Jason Kidd.

The Western Conference All-Star starting lineup is:
Center, Yao Ming.

Power forward, Tim Duncan.

Small forward, Carmelo Anthony.

Shooting guard, Kobe Bryant.

Point guard, Allen Iverson.

Everyone is a star who has been famous for many years, and they all understand how to play the All-Star game, and they know what the fans want to see.So at the beginning, both sides are only tentatively attacking, and the defending side will try their best to defend at the beginning, but if it is passed, it will be fine, and the people who make up the defense will be a little slower, so that the offensive side can have enough performance Chance.

They all know that a wonderful offense needs a wonderful defense to set off, but how far it is set off depends on individual understanding.

Li Du was bored sitting on the sidelines with Roy, who was also a backup in the West. He knew that James, as the starting small forward in the East, would be difficult to match him. According to the past tradition, when the West replaced him, the East would James was also replaced, at least in the first quarter, the two of them had no chance to play against each other.

But when Li Du was replaced with more than five minutes left in the first quarter, he was pleasantly surprised to find that James was still on the court!
Seeing Li Du playing, James smiled and said to him, "Li, I have been waiting for you for a long time!"
