Bishop of the Abyss

Chapter 60 60. AMVP in the bag
On the last day of the All-Star Weekend, the long-awaited All-Star Game will officially start today.

The performances of the previous two days can only be regarded as appetizers for the fans, and today's All-Star Game is the performance that the fans are most looking forward to.

After all, fans only have this day every year to see the best players in the league play together. Even if everyone will not do their best on the court, at least it is very eye-catching.

Before the start of the game, everyone was talking and laughing on the court to warm up. The atmosphere in the whole arena was full of joy, and there was no sense of oppression that the game was approaching.

As for the head coach of the Western Conference, Luke simply sat off the court and chatted with his disciples, tactics and so on, let it all go to hell!
The All-Star game does not require tactics at all, and the only role of the coach sitting on the sidelines is to make substitutions.

Those who can be selected for the All-Star game are the pillars of each team. In this kind of performance game, even if the coach arranges tactics, the players will often forget about them.

This year's Eastern Conference All-Star coach is Heat coach Stan Van Gundy, and this position will most likely be held by Pistons coach Larry Brown.

However, Larry Brown committed suicide by himself. Not only did he lead the team to lose the No. [-] position in the Eastern Conference, but he also personally dragged the team into the abyss, completely withdrawing from the championship this season.

"Boky, Ray is sitting next to you. Why don't you take the initiative to talk to him today? This is not your character in the past." "Alien" Cassel said with a smirk.

Everyone in the Timberwolves knows that Nehbar's idol is Ray Allen. Although it is a bit strange to regard Junzi Ray as an idol, anything can happen in the NBA circle.

For example, the idol of the team's new aid Salmons is Kevin Garnett. After coming to the Timberwolves, Salmons was almost scolded to death by Garnett.

"Don't laugh, it's not funny at all. I won't have an idol anymore." Nehbar dragged his hands on his cheeks, showing a sullen look.

"Sam, you old bastard, you're here to bully Boky again, be careful the coach sees the dog's head that blows you up." Garnett slapped Cassel's bare head, and the resounding voice shook Si Tadamier was taken aback.

"Fuck! How many times have I said, don't touch my head!" Cassel immediately stood up and shot back at Garnett.

"It's kind of like going to the court to beat Shaq's head. Whoever can beat Shaq into a pig's head today will steal an AMVP trophy for you."

Leaning over to look at Garnett and Cassel who were fighting, Luke said in a cold tone.

"Shaq?"

"Forget it. I don't like the AMVP trophy. I think it's too heavy in my hand." Cassel waved his hand quickly.

"It's better to just say that you don't have the guts." Garnett pouted with disdain.

.........

As the game was about to start, players from both sides hugged and greeted each other on the field, and everyone tacitly regarded it as entertainment like the All-Star game.

Unless the scores of the two teams are very anxious in the final stage, no one will fire with full firepower like a green head.

Of course, except for Westbrook and Antetokounmpo, who have not yet entered the league...

After the start of the game, the Western Conference first got the ball. The starting lineup of the Western Conference All-Stars for this game is: McGrady, Kobe, Garnett, Duncan, and Yao Ming.

The East is: Iverson, Carter, Hill, James, and O'Neal.

At the beginning of the game, the two teams were very relaxed on the court. In addition to the ultra-long shots from beyond the three-point line, they were fancy dunks after breaking into the inside.

Both sides are very lazy on the defensive end. Once the opponent passes by, no one will step forward to help defend, basically watching the opponent score.

As McGrady made another three-pointer from outside the three-point line, the game only opened for more than four minutes, and the West scored 17 points.

From this point, it is not difficult to see that there is no confrontation in this game.

Both sides regard the game as a shooting warm-up and fancy dunk show.

Until an offensive round of the Eastern All-Stars, O'Neal caught the ball at the basket and wanted to make a brutal dunk, but Garnett slapped O'Neal directly on the head.

It didn't take much effort, it was more like a loving touch than a blow.

"Bang!"

After pouring the ball into the basket, O'Neal covered the top of his head and looked at Garnett in surprise, as if he was asking, "Why are you fucking hitting me on the head?"

"Misunderstanding, Shaq, just slipped, trust me." Garnett spread his hands with a smile on his face.

"I always feel that you have bad intentions." O'Neal cast a look of disbelief at Garnett.

Turning around, just when O'Neill was about to return to the backcourt, he only felt a chill on the top of his head.

Turning around abruptly, he found Garnett's hand still in the air.

"What are you doing!" O'Neill frowned puzzled.

"Quietly tell you, Shaq, the coach assigned us a task before going on the court, which is to beat you into a pig's head on the court."

"Just let me play a few more times on the court, and I'll treat you to dinner after the game, how about it!" Garnett put his arm around O'Neal's shoulder and said mysteriously.

"What?"

"Lu is going to beat me into a pig's head?"

"Damn it, I don't seem to have offended him!"

O'Neill was shocked when he heard this, and immediately turned his head to look at Luke on the sidelines.

Luke is really famous in the league at present, and to be precise, he should be full of evil!
O'Neill really didn't know where he had provoked Luke, this guy actually wanted to beat himself into a pig's head!
If it was anyone else, O'Neill would have started to greet his eight generations of ancestors, but for the shadow of a famous tree, Luke, a lunatic, O'Neill really didn't want to provoke.

Because Big Ben and Rashid are very typical examples!
"Where did I offend him!" O'Neill was a little aggrieved with a confused look on his face.

"It's okay, Shaq, as long as you let me hit you twice on the court, I promise to help you settle this matter!" Garnett raised his eyebrows with a half-smile.

In the next period of time, the rhythm of the East and the West is still very fast on the field, and the intensity of the game is almost non-existent.

But there was an inexplicable scene on the court throughout the first quarter. Garnett always reached out to hit O'Neal on the head.

The most important thing is that O'Neill, who was attacked by Garnett on the head, would only reach out and stroke it gently twice, but he acquiesced in Garnett's behavior throughout the whole process.

This scene really made many people wonder, when did the relationship between Garnett and O'Neal become so good?
Everyone knows that O'Neill is a real treasure on the court, but O'Neill hates others to touch his head, which is also well-known.

It can only be said that today's O'Neal is a bit strange, and there is a weirdness everywhere between him and Garnett.

At the end of the first, the Western All-Stars led the East 46:38 with a more fiery offensive touch.

Among them, McGrady and Garnett are both in excellent condition. McGrady scored 11 points and 3 rebounds in the first half of the court.

Garnett basically swept all the backcourt rebounds in the first quarter, and the data of 7 points and 8 rebounds in a single quarter is very eye-catching.

After the first quarter, Garnett sat on the sidelines and took the towel handed by Nehbar to wipe his sweat.

Then deliberately loudly said in front of Cassel: "See, Sam, I hit Shaq on the head on the field and he didn't dare to resist at all!"

"I'm not talking big, if I wanted to, I could beat Shaq into a pig's head in minutes!"

As soon as Cassel heard it, he knew that Garnett was bragging in front of him again. After being a teammate for so many years, Cassel knew very well what kind of person Garnett was.

But O'Neill's reaction today was indeed very wrong, which made Cassell really incomprehensible.

"I suspect that you knelt down to Shaq secretly and called him father, that's why he is willing to show you face in front of everyone!" Without being polite at all, Cassel directly cast a disdainful look at Garnett.

"You old bastard, I'll knock out all your teeth sooner or later!" Jokingly throwing the towel in Cassel's face, Garnett replied cursingly.

But just when Garnett finished pretending, forcing, and even felt comfortable, he suddenly found that Luke had turned his head and stared at him with cold eyes since he didn't know when.

Facing Luke's penetrating gaze, Garnett pretended to be calm, but couldn't help swallowing.

If Luke knew that he was pretending to be a tiger in front of O'Neal under his banner, Garnett felt that his fate would not be very good.

Even though he is the wolf king of Minnesota, after getting along for so long, Garnett knows that Luke is a devil, a real devil!

After the second quarter, the two sides replaced the substitute lineup to compete. Players who can be selected as All-Stars, even if they are selected as substitutes, are the most shining existence in the league today.

Therefore, in terms of playing time, the coach must naturally allocate clearly, otherwise it is easy to attract dissatisfaction from individual fans after the game.

The intensity of the game between the two sides remained the same throughout the second quarter, and Luke did not secretly help Nehbar and Kassel just because they belonged to him.

It's not that Luke is honest and fair, it's that Nehbar and Kassel's attitude towards the All-Stars is not focused enough.

Kassel knew that it was impossible for him to be the focus, and knowing it well, Kassel simply went through the motions.

As for Nehbar, he was completely too nervous. After receiving the ball on the field, he would always pass it out immediately, as if he would be scolded as a cancer if he didn't pass the ball.

At the end of halftime, the Western All-Stars still led the Eastern Conference by 16 points to end the contest.

The fighting spirit of the two sides in the second half of the game was still so-so. Even the Eastern Conference, which was behind in the score, did not have the slightest sense of urgency, let alone the Western Conference, which was leading by a large score.

Throughout the second half, Luke finally got a little biased in terms of employment. Since Garnett's personal data in this game is very amazing, if the Western All-Stars can win the game, Garnett is still very hopeful to be elected as the MVP of this All-Star Game.

In this case, Luke is naturally willing to help his own players, even if the AMVP is of no value in improving his historical status.

But in any case, this is also an honor that is closely related to MVP. If there is a chance to get it, I believe no player will take the initiative to refuse it.

"dudu~"

As the whistle sounded for the end of the game, the Western All-Stars finally scored 168 points.

And also defeated the Eastern Conference by 21 points and won this high-profile All-Star Game.

After the game, the league awarded the All-Star MVP to Garnett who performed well.

整场比赛加内特在出场31分钟的情况下砍下25分19篮板4助攻以及2次抢断。

Among them, the backcourt rebounds in the West were basically captured by Garnett alone. After all, Yao Ming is not as thick-skinned as Garnett, and he does not blink when he collects statistics.

With the end of the All-Star Game, the All-Star Weekend of the 04-05 season officially came to an end.

Next, each team will enter the intense and intense battle for the playoffs, launch the final sprint in the regular season, and sound the alarm in advance for the upcoming playoffs!
