Basketball Myth: Super Guard

Chapter 721 Superstar Showdown James vs Kobe!
In the first quarter, both sides didn't take it too seriously, and the defense was just a show, but the strength of the Western All-Star team is still stronger.

Especially in their starting lineup, Paul is in charge of organization, Kobe, Anthony, and Durant are in charge of scoring, and Yao Ming is in charge of rebounding. The division of labor is clear and complements each other.

Entering the second quarter, the West is still leading.

After a few minutes, the two sides changed, and Kobe and Yao Ming were replaced together.

"Brother Ming is on it again." Qin Hao smiled slightly.

In the past, Yao Ming didn't play a lot of time in the All-Star Game. It's not that the coach didn't give him the chance, but that Yao Ming's style of play didn't match the All-Star Game. He played too plainly.

But now that Yao Ming has transformed into a space-based insider, his style of play has changed a lot. Not only can he shoot three-pointers, he can also break through with the ball, and even complete alley-oop dunks with his teammates.

In the past, Yao Ming was too heavy to bounce well, so he didn't have many dunks alley-oops. Most of the time, he made a fake move after getting the ball, and then dunked with his height.Although it is also two points, it is much less enjoyable to watch than the empty dunk.

"boom!"

On the court, the Eastern team made a shot and hit the iron. Yao Ming took the rebound and didn't hand it over to the guard. He pushed forward with the ball. The tall man performed a European step, which made the fans in the audience exclaim.

Of course, Yao Ming's European step is not very lethal, mainly because the speed is too slow, and it will definitely not work in a normal game.

But this was the All-Star Game. Seeing Yao Ming showing off, the players of the East team didn't take the initiative to defend. They just stood there and let Yao Ming pass by, completing the European step layup.

Although the defense was not serious, it still surprised people.

After that, Yao Ming took the ball from outside the three-point line, first feinted it, then accelerated his breakthrough, took two steps forward to attract the defense, and gave the ball outside the three-point line at a [-]-degree angle on the left.

Swish!
Kobe made a three-pointer.

Kobe also played very well today. He scored 12 points in the first quarter, and he hit a three-pointer shortly after this quarter, which was overwhelming.

A moment later, the Eastern team also replaced Wade, James, and Bosh together. The three Heat teammates were on the field at the same time. The coach also hoped that the Eastern team would fight back with the tacit understanding between the three of them. , otherwise the difference will become larger and larger.

After the three came up, it played a role. After James got the rebound in the backcourt, he went to the frontcourt and threw the ball to the basket. Wade understood and staged an alley-oop dunk.

Janeway is here!

Afterwards, James himself made one. After the breakthrough, he staged a domineering dunk. He played very well today, and he is obviously very interested in the mvp.

But Kobe refused. Just after James dunked, Kobe picked it up on the right side, made a feint, tricked the defender into jumping, and then made an accelerated breakthrough. After reaching the inside line, he hugged the ball and bent his legs, then pulled out Then, Bosh stood inside, subconsciously reached out to block.

However, this is nothing to Kobe.

I saw Kobe holding his stomach in the air, dodging, and his body flew to the left side of the basket with inertia, avoiding Bosh's block, and he had already started to fall, so he stretched his body, turned his body in the air, and grabbed the basket with his right hand. Basketball, the backhand dunks the ball into the hoop.

"Huh"

The auditorium was boiling, and the fans stood up one after another, cheering loudly.

Qin Hao couldn't help standing up and applauding Kobe's wonderful goal.

In a blink of an eye, at the end of the second quarter, the West is still leading, and the point difference has come to 12 points. Instead of shrinking, it has become larger.

This stems from Kobe's outstanding performance, before the end of the first half, Kobe has already scored 22 points.

Yao Ming also performed well. He played a lot of time today and has already scored 10 points, 6 of which were three-pointers. In addition, he also had 9 rebounds, only one short of double figures.

In the second half, the two sides began to get serious. James began to work hard, scoring consecutive points, and also performed very well in rebounds and assists. He showed his all-roundness to the fullest and led the East. The point difference narrowed to single digits.

At this time, it was still Kobe who stood up. First he made a chasing three-pointer, and then he made an iconic jumper jumper after the breakthrough. It was really picturesque. A beautiful arc pierced through the net.

Qin Hao's mood was agitated and he was amazed by it.

When Kobe stood up and scored consecutive points, helping the Western team stabilize the situation, then Durant and Anthony responded accordingly and started to get serious.

For a while, the western army gained the upper hand again, and the counterattack of the eastern army was contained, and it was difficult to regain momentum for a while.

Until the last few minutes of the fourth quarter, the difference between the two sides was still around ten points.

But at this time, both sides have corrected their attitudes. The Eastern team James took the lead, and Wade was also on the court. Under the leadership of the two, they began to defend seriously.

The unspoken rule of the All-Star Game is that if the team behind the score does not take it seriously first, the team in the lead will not take the defense seriously and will put a little water on it.But when the trailing side starts to defend seriously, the leading side will respond immediately and also become serious.

What's more, the leaders of the East and West are James and Kobe respectively.

"It's really going to happen." Qin Hao's eyes lit up.

"Well, it's a [-]-point difference, not too much. The Eastern team still has a chance." Butler stared straight at the court, with hope and longing in his eyes.

The stage of the All-Star Game is a dream for any NBA player, and Butler is no exception.

Qin Hao turned his head, just in time to see Butler's yearning eyes, patted his good brother on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "I believe that one day we can also stand on this stage."

Butler nodded heavily with a serious expression on his face.

At this moment, the players on both sides became serious, and the fans in the auditorium also calmed down, watching the stadium nervously, and the atmosphere became serious.

"beep!"

A whistle was blown, the referee pointed at Anthony, gave him a foul, signaled James to the free throw line, and executed two free throws.

At this time, the players started to really defend and fouled more.

James was very powerful, making two free throws, without the slightest smile on his face, and entered a fighting state.

James played very well today. So far he has scored 25 points, 11 rebounds, and 9 assists. One rebound is a triple-double.If the Eastern Conference can win today, James will be elected as the mvp without any doubt. Seeing that the mvp is just around the corner, James has to be serious.

But when he turned around, Kobe responded immediately, changed direction continuously outside the three-point line, and then accelerated suddenly, but instead of rushing directly to the basket, he stopped suddenly after changing direction, and made another iconic fadeaway jumper. The defender is helpless.
