The strongest champion puzzle

Chapter 356 Mission Accomplished
During the rotation period, the Eastern Conference unexpectedly played better, and the Eastern Conference also led by 3 points in the first quarter.

To be honest, Zhang Xiaotian was a little nervous, but the All-Star Game is a regular game mode, and he will be able to use his skills at that time. He will not let the East win, just like he did in the East.

In the second quarter, the scores of the two sides began to be stalemate, and it was already a bit like a real fight.

Fortunately, it is impossible to have a defensive system in the All-Stars, and the offensive side is more dominant.

To Zhang Xiaotian's surprise, Anthony was a little absent-minded, and his score continued to rise.

Taking advantage of the less tight defense, Zhang Xiaotian made two consecutive three-pointers, helping the West overtake the score, and his score also reached 17 points.

Still not safe enough, Zhang Xiaotian continued to improve his concentration, and he was completely in the playoff state.

James wanted to remind his teammates, but he didn't think he was an All-Star and couldn't open his mouth.

Paul George on their side is also desperately scoring points, and James doesn't have such a big nature after seeing the situation. It's good to play with Kobe in this game, and he will be criticized if he desperately beats a retired old guy.

Of course, you can't be humiliated by Kobe. Fortunately, Kobe has lost his previous ambitions this season, and the two can relax and chat during the matchup, which is very fun.

In the first half, the Western Conference ended with a 2-point lead. It was only during the intermission that everyone noticed the data and other situations.

Westbrook suddenly became a little vigilant, and he did have some ideas about the All-Star MVP.

However, it's not easy to grab the All-Stars, so we can only see some opportunities.

Zhang Xiaotian took the initiative to go over and chat with Westbrook. In the West, this guy is often holding the ball. Zhang Xiaotian deliberately chatted about winning the victory beautifully, which aroused some sympathy from the other side.

Popovich smiled at Zhang Xiaotian again at this time, which made him a little nervous.

However, in the subsequent tactical analysis, Popovich really gave the opportunity. He half-jokingly stated that Zhang Xiaotian’s big heart at the end was a nuclear weapon. The other players immediately booed and expressed their desire to see it. Simple tactics, still give Zhang Xiaotian a chance.

Zhang Xiaotian was very moved, and decided to find two bottles of good red wine for the old man after solving the task.

As an important figure in the Western Conference, Kobe did not say much. He chose to bid farewell to the All-Stars. He did not shoot crazy shots, did not dunk hard, did not defend desperately, but only ordinary three-pointers and continuous passing. He even chose to take the initiative to send the baseline ball .

Kobe had a different choice from the regular season, and Zhang Xiaotian lost the biggest contender to compete for the MVP.

In fact, everyone felt it in the first half. Now Kobe still has this attitude, and other players have also become more active.

In the third quarter, the West's three-pointer exploded without warning.

First Westbrook made consecutive hits, then Curry, Durant and Zhang Xiaotian.

In fact, this is normal. The three-pointers of a group of people in the West are better than their opponents, but it is still a bit unexpected to start from Westbrook.

In the east, Paul George had the same plan as Zhang Xiaotian, and he desperately scored points from the start.

In the third quarter, Paul George scored 29 points, followed by Zhang Xiaotian with 26 points.

In the second half, everyone was not as humble as before. To ensure that he won the All-Star MVP, Zhang Xiaotian must show his best state in the last quarter.

As for the outcome, the three-point rain has already given the West a lot of advantages.

However, a double-digit advantage is nothing in the All-Stars. There are too many players who can score points on both sides, but everyone intends to compete on three-pointers, which is good news for Zhang Xiaotian.

There are also three-pointers on the bench in the West, who can spread the firepower. Now there are a few who can compete with him, and they can't play three-pointers against him.

Those in the West who want to play are the Thunder and Young, Curry, Harden, and Anthony Davis also want to play but there are not enough opportunities. Leonard and Paul have problems with their playing style and it is difficult to compete for the MVP.

In the East, Paul George outshone many people, and many people lost interest, and those who wanted to play like Thomas Jr. had no chance, including Wall, DeRozan, and Drummond. On the contrary, the main players were not special. positive.

During the rotation period in the second half, Paul, Harden and Klay Thompson teamed up to expand the advantage of the Western Conference to 20 points. At this time, everyone understood that the Western Conference was almost stable.

There is no need to show face on the bench in the West. Popovich will switch back to the main force. Then there are only four people who have the chance to win the MVP. Curry, Westbrook, Durant and Zhang Xiaotian, among which Zhang Xiaotian is temporarily ranked first in scoring .

And these four people belong to two teams. Curry also thinks about MVP, but not so strongly.

A few people sat together laughing and talking, they were much more familiar than before, but they were already making up their minds.

Zhang Xiaotian hit a three-pointer the first time he caught the ball, showing his attitude.

On the east side, Paul George was a little reconciled. He was the player with the most points, but the East was too far behind. Anthony seemed to be indifferent. As soon as Paul George gritted his teeth, he took the initiative to switch defenses against Zhang Xiaotian.

Zhang Xiaotian didn't speak at first, and then he came back and posted that Paul George didn't even have a good chance to catch the ball before he whispered: "Dude, save face, you can switch defenses, don't be serious, or I may not be affected, you Scoring will be troublesome, we lead so much, the All-Stars don't have to work hard."

Paul George immediately understood that even if he locks Zhang Xiaotian, it is useless. It is really difficult to chase points now. Although their lineup scored three-pointers in the first half, the three-pointers are actually not particularly good.

Paul George simply switched back, because the score gap was not small, and James was delayed because of Kobe's affairs.

Zhang Xiaotian doesn't have as many chances to touch the ball on the front line as the defenders, but he won't be polite if he gets a rebound. With the addition of skills, his shooting percentage is definitely the highest.

In the last 2 minutes, Paul George scored 40 points and Zhang Xiaotian also scored 38 points. The score gap between the two sides has not narrowed, and the game has entered garbage time.

While Zhang Xiaotian scored the second highest score in the game, he also had 11 rebounds and 5 steals. The All-Star MVP has been stabilized. At the last moment, he did not continue to be greedy, and even assisted Curry.

As his name was announced in the selection of the All-Star MVP, the sound of mission completion also came from the system.

[All-star challenge mission completed, reward: All-star equipment. 】

Zhang Xiaotian just glanced at it for a while, and couldn't help being happy. Facing the microphone handed over by the reporter, he sighed: "This is really great."
