Bishop of the Abyss

Chapter 142 142. The fear of being dominated by Garnett!
"Unfortunately, this year's All-Stars let the guy Everly take advantage of it."

"The third record in the West was selected as the All-Star coach because of Greg's accidental injury. This luck is really enviable."

"But that's good too. Although Everly's election as the coach will definitely favor Dirk, and Kevin's chances of winning the MVP will be very low, but it's still much better than Greg."

"Now it seems that getting revenge on Greg is really a good thing." Back at the hotel, Lambiel said with some envy.

This season is the first full season of "Little General" Johnson's coaching career. Originally, Johnson picked the old Nelson peach in his position, which was much smoother than normal coaches.

Now he is lucky enough to be elected as the All-Star coach of the Western Conference. This luck is indeed a bit against the sky.

"AMVP itself has no gold content. If you can't win the three MVPs of the season at the same time, no one will remember who won the trophy this year."

"What's more, Yao and Tracy will definitely get some care as the hosts. Yao's character should not care about these, but Tracy will definitely try his best to fight for it."

"If the Western Conference wins the game in the end, there is a high probability that Tracy will be elected as the AMVP."

"As for whether the East is willing to let Tracy go, it's hard to say."

Luke shrugged his shoulders with a smile on his face. He was not at all interested in the upcoming All-Star Game. Even if three of his disciples were about to participate, Luke really didn't bother to pay attention.

…………

On February 2, the long-awaited All-Star Game officially started.

Every year, the All-Star Game can feast the eyes of fans. The East and West will add up to 24 top stars in the league to compete.

Even if the previous All-Stars were more of a performance, and there were very few times when they really got angry, it is very rare to see so many stars get together.

This kind of opportunity only comes once a year. If you miss today, fans will only be addicted to the game.

After the game started, the defensive intensity on both sides was as loose as ever, and it would not even be an exaggeration to say that they were defending with their eyes.

As expected in the West, as expected by Luke, the players will give more opportunities to McGrady at the beginning of the game. It seems that they want McGrady, who is the host, to get more opportunities to perform.

McGrady is also unambiguous when receiving the pass from his teammates. Pulling up from the outside is a three-pointer. The defensive strength imposed by the East is not strong. How many points can be scored by this style of play depends entirely on McGrady's shooting touch.

However, although the western side is enough to give the host McGrady face, the performance desire of Iverson, Wade and LeBron James is also very strong.

Iverson's style of play has always been like this. No matter who his teammates are, Iverson dares to regard himself as the core. This is Iverson's own arrogance.

As for LeBron James, he is eager to bring back an AMVP. After entering the league, LeBron James has always been called the pride of heaven.

But after three years in the league, LeBron has won very few personal honors.

No one doubts the personal strength of LeBron James. As one of the best small forwards in the league today, James is already a player who can be compared with Kobe.

However, judging the historical status of a player depends on how many honors he has won. LeBron James, who is in the third grade, has realized the importance of this aspect.

The championship, MVP, FMVP, these are still far away for James. The Timberwolves have been in full swing in the past two years. The chances of James leading the Cavaliers to win the game are very small. At least the Pistons and the Heat are two mountains that the Cavaliers cannot cross .

So now James mainly puts his personal honor on the best team, defensive team and scoring champion. As for the All-Star MVP, it is also the goal that LeBron James needs to achieve.

The defensive intensity given by the east and west parts of the entire first quarter was not very high, but the offensive firepower of both sides was sufficient, throwing hands from outside the three-point line without worrying about winning or losing.

At the end of the first quarter, the two All-Star teams scored 44:43, and the Western All-Stars temporarily led by one point.

Garnett contributed 7 points and 2 rebounds in the 4 minutes of the first quarter. He may know that this year's AMVP is destined to miss him, so Garnett has gradually become salty on the court, and he has no vitality in playing. .

As for the "madman", he seems to be more coping. After playing, he stands on the side with his hands on his knees, throws one from the outside when he receives a pass, and acts as a spectator if he fails to receive the ball.

Sprewell is very clear about his position on the court. Things like All-Stars can enhance his historical status and popularity, but it is destined not to belong to his stage.

A madman at this age is no longer as competitive as a young man. Teammate Garnett has no chance to win the MVP. Naturally, a madman doesn't want to waste his energy in vain.

The most energetic of the three Timberwolves players is Magloire, who has returned to the All-Star ranks after a season. Magloire's attitude towards the game is much more correct than Madman and Garnett.

Even knowing that he is not the core, Magloire still enjoys this feeling.

Throughout the first half, the east and west teams played very anxiously. Although both sides failed to defend with all their strength, the offense was very hot, and no one could open the score in a short time.

At the end of the half, with McGrady's 24 points in the half, the West still leads by three points.

Back in the second half of the game, even Kobe, who has always been very competitive, began to gradually hand the ball to McGrady. Originally, Kobe wanted to try to compete for the MVP of the All-Star Game.

But at present, Kobe has only scored seven points in total, and there is a big gap between him and McGrady. Therefore, Kobe simply became an adult and gave McGrady the chance to win the AMVP trophy.

As for what he needs to do on the court, it is to try his best to help the West win the game.

In the third quarter, McGrady and LeBron James played against each other. The two played back and forth, making the game very lively.

In addition to LeBron James, Wade and Iverson also have strong desires. It seems that they want to keep the MVP trophy in the East.

At the end of the three quarters, the two sides drew 138:138 on the field.

In the last quarter, as the time on the court dwindled, the two sides gradually became more serious. Until two and a half minutes before the end of the game, the West still only led by three points.

At the critical moment, McGrady missed consecutive outside shots, allowing the East to seize the opportunity to counterattack in one fell swoop and overtake the score.

On the offensive end, Kobe began to take over the game at the last moment, making two consecutive turnaround jump shots to help the West stabilize the situation, and even started to go all out on defense.

Until the last 35.6 seconds, "The Flash" Wade used the pick-and-roll to kill the basket through two people. When Wade threw the ball high, Garnett suddenly flew out from the flank, stretching out his almost terrifying pair of eyes. The wingspan grabbed the ball directly from the air!
Garnett's cap capture instantly ignited the atmosphere at home. The key decisive battle in the All-Star Game is already exciting, not to mention this kind of winning defense.

After landing, Garnett saw Kobe running forward at a glance. At this time, in Garnett's eyes, Kobe's figure overlapped with his teammate Sprewell.

Without any hesitation, Garnett passed the ball immediately.

After receiving the pass, Kobe pressed the position of Iverson behind him and sent the ball firmly to the basket, and this ball brought the lead of the West to three points again.

This situation on the field made the Eastern Conference head coach Saunders call a timeout. Although no one cares about winning or losing the All-Stars, if they can win, no one really wants to lose.

Back from the timeout, Wade and Bosh missed consecutive three-pointers on the perimeter.

While protecting the backcourt rebounds, Garnett also went to the free throw line and made two free throws, teaming up with Kobe to defend the victory at the last moment.

"Dududu~"

As the whistle sounded for the end of the game, the Western All-Stars beat the Eastern Conference by five points at the Toyota Center Arena, and the two sides gave a wonderful performance in the last 3 minutes.

The only embarrassing thing is that McGrady, who scored 38 points in the game, didn't score a single point in the last 3 minutes. If Kobe and Garnett didn't stand up in time, the Eastern Conference would probably complete a comeback.

Although McGrady's performance in the last 3 minutes was unsatisfactory, McGrady won the MVP of the 38 All-Star Game with his crushing 06 points.

In addition, Kobe has been sleepwalking in the first three quarters, and only in the final stage did he reveal his killer essence. The data of 15 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists is not outstanding, but it is an important part of the West's victory in the game.

As for Garnett, who perfunctory the whole game, also only had 8 points, 14 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 blocks. On the offensive end, Garnett basically didn't make many shots, but only made a few symbolic shots.

However, Wade's cap-catching at the last moment can be called the most exciting defense of the game, and it is also a turning point of the game.

After the game, Wade's emotions collapsed, and the Timberwolves were like his nightmare lingering in his mind.

Whether it's the regular season or the playoffs, Wade has been experiencing the fear of being dominated by the Timberwolves.

Finally ushered in the All-Star weekend, Wade intends to use this time to relax.

As a result, Garnett's fatal block in the All-Star Game reminded Wade of that unbearable memory.

Especially when the center teammate standing under the basket at the last moment was also "Shark" O'Neal, Wade only felt that the moment was terrible, so bad that Garnett had already made him fear from the bottom of his heart!
