Chapter 170 Before the All-Star Game ([-])
The second quarter started, O'Neal took a break, and Kobe began to seamlessly continue the offensive firepower of the Lakers.

First, the three-pointer catches the ball frame, lifts the ball over the top, makes a three-point line shooting posture, tricks Wagner's defensive shot, immediately pulls the ball down, shortens his body, exerts force with his feet, and dribbles the ball towards the inside.

Attracting the double-teaming of Diop and Boozer, he jumped up from the basket, retracted and stretched in the air, dodged the block, hooked his right hand, and with a bang, the dunk went flying.

The title of "Peter Pan" is vividly reflected at this moment, penetrating three points.

Immediately afterwards, Kobe dribbled the ball from the flank and entered the three-point line. The horn area immediately stopped the jumper and shot back, making a steady hit.

Then, in defense, he stole Wagner's basketball, counterattacked to the basket, took off from the bottom, turned around in the air, and succeeded in dunking with his back.

Kobe's offense and defense are integrated, and his chaotic combat ability is extremely powerful, which is undoubtedly displayed.

Fortunately, Paul Silas has long known that the Cavaliers' substitutes are unreliable. Facing the Lakers who have the absolute strength to win the championship, if they want to win the game, they must not allow these substitutes to level up and waste opportunities.

Therefore, he chose to play the main force, almost a seven-man rotation. James and Boozer's powerful scoring stabilized the situation. The chance at the free throw line slowed down the Cavaliers' offensive firepower.

After halftime, the Lakers led the Cavaliers by 48 points 43 to 5 and entered the locker room to rest.

Back from the third quarter, the two sides changed sides and fought again.

Gary Payton began to show off his power in the offense. In the first half, he gave up the ball to Kobe and O'Neal, playing support with peace of mind.

The sudden attack in the third quarter caught the Cavaliers by surprise.

However, the Cavaliers' perimeter is not easy to mess with, especially on the front line, which took advantage of the Lakers' weakness and beat them indiscriminately, non-stop, gradually chasing the score back.

In the fourth quarter, the Lakers' triangle offense began to take off, with Fox as the axis, O'Neal on the inside, Kobe on the wing, forming a main attacking triangle, and forming another auxiliary triangle with Gary Payton and Medvedenko.

The sharp offense caused the Cavaliers to retreat steadily, even though James used a bad three-pointer to drag the game into overtime.

However, in terms of the key scoring ability, the generals of the Cavaliers are still not as good as the "OK combination" of the Lakers Dynasty.

Kobe used a powerful low-post singles to tell the Cavaliers what is a cold-blooded killer with a big heart on a big scene.

Whether it's turning his back to the basket, turning and shooting a jumper, or facing the basket, breaking through a pull-up jumper, Kobe always has a way to send the basketball to the basket.

O'Neal is even more domineering. He can score with a basketball pass in his hands. Even if he is double-teamed, at most he will be sent to the free throw line. However, the scoring has never stopped.

The paint area is like his back garden. The scoring is just the flowers and plants in the back garden. As long as he wants to, he can easily pick points.

Even standing at the free throw line, you can still throw a basketball into the basket.

As a result of the game, the Lakers had the last laugh, beating the Cavaliers 111-106.

James made 26 of 14 shots, 4 of 4 three-pointers, 32 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists. He was a superstar, and Boozer also scored 25 points, 16 rebounds and 7 assists. Erke Williams' 20 points can be said to have shattered the Lakers' front line.

Unexpectedly, they were still no match for the king "OK combination".

奥尼尔37分12篮板7助攻，科比30分4助攻，几乎两人揍趴了骑士队。

On February 2, the Cleveland Cavaliers visited the Minnesota Timberwolves, which was another tough battle.

The Timberwolves currently have a record of 34 wins and 16 losses, which is better than the Lakers. How can the Cavaliers win away games?

The "three-headed monsters" teamed up to score 71 points, of which Wolf King Garnett scored 35 points and 12 rebounds, blasting the Cavaliers inside, leading the Timberwolves to a 103-92, 11-point advantage and giving the Cavaliers a two-game losing streak.

On February 2, the Cavaliers immediately flew back to the Cleveland Cavaliers to welcome the visit of the Washington Wizards back to back at home.

Although fighting back to back, it is a chance to end the losing streak.

At the beginning of the game, both sides speeded up their offense in the first quarter, and the Cavaliers took the lead 31 to 27.

In the second quarter, the efficiency of the two sides dropped sharply, and the situation of the two sides did not change. The rhythm has always been in the hands of the Cavaliers.

As soon as the third quarter started, the situation on the court changed suddenly. The comeback "General" Arenas broke out and hit three-pointers one after another, igniting the Wizards' offensive line. The 33 to 15 small climax offensive established the advantage of victory.

In the fourth quarter, the Cavaliers struggled to counterattack, but James was in a bad state. He was not strong at the critical moment, but the Wizards took the opportunity to open the score.

As a result of the whole game, the Wizards defeated the Cavaliers by a big score of 108 to 90, giving their opponents a three-game losing streak.

Arenas became the best star in the game. He made 15 of 8 shots, 6 of 4 three-pointers, 8 of 6 free throws, and scored 26 points and 7 assists. His performance was amazing.

In the matchup with James, he defeated his opponent. Although Arenas could not be selected as an All-Star due to his poor record, it may not be certain that he will be able to become the head coach if he defeats the popular spicy chicken James?
James performed poorly in two consecutive games. In this game, he made 16 of 6 shots and only scored 14 points and 6 rebounds. The key is that he didn't have any assists.

With his current performance, if he doesn't adjust in time, the thought of being selected for the All-Star Game is simply a dream!

On February 2, the Cleveland Cavaliers defeated the Celtics at home 9 to 97 in time, ending their three-game losing streak.

Although Pierce scored 32 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists, James, who scored 24 points, 6 basketball and 3 assists in the face of a slowdown, was still defeated because of the gap in team strength.

The Cleveland Cavaliers ended their losing streak, and just breathed a sigh of relief, and were immediately hit head-on by the New Jersey Nets.

On February 2, in the Quicken Loans Center arena, there were boos all over the court, James put his hands on his waist, and his face was bitter.

Looking at his performance data in this game, James' face is getting darker and darker, with 9 points, 5 assists and 2 rebounds, and only 13 of 2 shots from the field. With such a performance, he still wants to be selected for the All-Star Game?

James felt strong malice!
So the outside star simply fought his life for an All-Star spot?
It's true, drama is bigger than the sky, you can give up anything, except drama!
The All-Star Game is a big stage for the whole world to watch. It is obviously impossible to want others to let you down, so you can only fight for it yourself!
James clenched his fists and glanced unwillingly, stealing away all eyes from Jason Kidd tonight.

Kidd, who is known as "the base does not attack", made 13 of 7 shots, 4 of 2 three-pointers, 5 of 4 free throws, scored 20 points, 12 assists and 8 rebounds, and almost hit a triple-double super data.

Not only in terms of offense, but also organized the Nets' offense in an orderly and smooth manner, and also worked very hard on defense, preventing James from being in chaos and helpless!

The demeanor of the strongest point guard in active service is undoubtedly a show!
In terms of popularity, Kidd can't make the starting lineup in the All-Star Game, but any head coach who is not blind will definitely bring Kidd, a superstar with no statistics.

With the approach of the All-Star game, the stars have already beaten their heads and blood for a spot...
