Chapter 175 All-Star Game ([-])

Shaquille O'Neal is finally about to make his debut. As the No. [-] center in the Western Conference, he was originally the starting center in the All-Star Game. This is still his territory, and he can't wait any longer.

Yao Ming is still not used to the All-Star exhibition game, and he can't let go of his movements. If Yao Ming can play well, it should be Duncan who is next to him. Maybe the fans will be able to appreciate the joint battle of the "Yao Shark Team" up.

No, as soon as O'Neal came on the court, he took the initiative to catch the ball from the bottom line, acted as a point guard, dribbled the ball, rushed to the basket, and dunked successfully.

Although he has the ability to pick up Yao Ming, but O'Neill played as it should be, and celebrated with the overlord step after scoring a goal. The rhythm is very well grasped.

Then he caught the ball on a three-pointer, dribbled the ball continuously, and then passed the ball to Duncan on the wing. O'Neal cut to the basket and asked for the ball. Duncan also cooperated very well and actively passed the ball to the inside. O'Neal squeezed the ball away Wallace, with a bang, hangs on the basket, playing multiple roles by himself, scoring the basketball, and instantly controlling the audience.

Iverson hit two basketballs in a row and was replaced. Kidd played, and James' eyes glowed.

Under Kidd's needlework, the eastern star's offense became smoother, and it was no longer an individual single.

McGrady catches the ball and dunks after the cut, Carter dunks straight up and down after the cut, O'Neal catches the ball and hits a mid-range jumper, and even Magloire, who just came on the court, frequently gets easy opportunities to attack the basket , Easily scored the basketball.

In the Western Stars team, Duncan was kicked off after performing his board stunt, and Francis was also replaced by Stojakovic and "Alien" Cassell, who was selected for the first time in the All-Star Game. .

Cassell's style of play is not so gorgeous, but his passing skills are also superb, the feeding is very good, O'Neal can easily score points, and Kobe can also display his extremely coquettish individual singles.

Outside the 65-degree three-point line on the right, Stojakovic hit a three-pointer with a counter-running catch.

Nowitzki on the left just replaced Garnett, facing Pierce's defense, squeezed Pierce after receiving the ball, took a step, retreated with a bow and arrow, and the golden rooster made a three-point shot independently. Normally, when it hit the bullseye precisely, there was a splash of water.

In the first half, the two sides played very anxiously, almost all of them exploded each other, and they could not prevent the opponent's attack.

At the end of the first half, the Western Stars were 74 to 73, leading the Eastern Stars by only 1 point.

Back to fight again in the second half, the Eastern Stars took the lead. Pierce received the ball in a three-threat posture, dribbled one step, turned around and shot backwards.

Although Pierce was forced to play power forward, the offense was sharp.

Looking back, the Western Stars did not ignore the weak. Kirilenko received the pass from Cassel, dribbled one step, made an emergency stop and stepped back to make a two-pointer. by color.

In the transition between offense and defense, the bearded Baron Davis broke through with the ball in the top arc, swayed the defense, and sent the basketball into the sky.

James followed up with a tomahawk-style dunk, and was selected for the All-Star Game for the first time. He played very actively. Although his position became a small forward, he was competent for any position except the center.

In the last 5 minutes of the second half, the best player on the field returned to the field. O'Neal was playing at home, and other stars were willing to help others, helping O'Neal to strive for M∨P. Kobe's performance data was comprehensive and his efficiency was quite high. Coach A Delman, simply put Kobe on top of the point guard, the life and death of the Lakers has nothing to do with him.

Kobe was also strong, facing McGrady's defense directly, pulling back and hitting a three-pointer, taking the lead again.

120 to 118! !
The East star team didn't want to let the victory go by. Iverson forced a breakthrough to the inside, and with a snap, a hit was passed to the left. O'Neal ignored Garnett's close body and forced a dunk.

120 to 120! !
Garnett wanted to return one, and after receiving the ball, he turned his back to the basket and hit it, but he couldn't squeeze O'Neal's defense, so he could only turn around and lean back to make a mid-range shot.

Ben Wallace wanted to grab the basketball, but it was a pity that he was facing O'Neal. Although Ben's strength was very strong, O'Neal was stronger and taller than him.

Pressing down on Daben, grabbing the rebound, and scoring the basketball, his scoring has already reached 20 points. As long as the Western Conference Stars win, will the MVP still be at hand?
122 is better than 120!

Iverson dribbled the ball to the front court and was bitten by Kobe. Iverson dribbled the ball and failed to pass the ball. He passed the ball to Carter on the left. Facing Kirilenko's defense like Spiderman, Carter feinted Suddenly, he broke through to the right, drifted to find the space to shoot, and hit with a "shua".

122 is better than 122!

After all, Carter is the top voter this year, and he also wants to respond to the full support of the fans and compete for the MVP of this All-Star Game.

In the transition between offense and defense, Kobe dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, carried Iverson's body, and rushed to the three-point line, but the free throw line was double-teamed by the Eastern Stars. Stojakovic caught the ball and shot a three-pointer with open hands, and he didn't hesitate. He hit the fourth three-pointer tonight, feeling hot.

125 is better than 122!

Looking back, McGrady also cut directly to the basket, received a pass from Iverson, and dunked successfully.

125 is better than 124!

Next, O'Neal showed his power again. Kobe played with his back, shook his shoulders, turned around and jumped back to shoot.

However, Kobe's shooting posture was very beautiful, but with a bang, it hit the iron.

Incarnate into "Four Ups and Three Irons", so, with O'Neal's performance of dominating the basket, I saw him block Ben Wallace with his huge body, almost squeezed Ben to the bottom line, easily took off the rebound, and again Successful dunk.

Immediately afterwards, defensively, Iverson's breakthrough layup was directly slapped away. Kobe quickly hit a quick counterattack and staged an easy one.

Later, although Jermaine O'Neal also responded with a mid-range shot, O'Neal went straight to the basket in the offense and reached out for the ball.

Kobe could only give in obediently, and passed the ball into the inside with a ground hit. O'Neal didn't waste the opportunity and directly hit Ben, and with a bang, he hung on the basket again.

O'Neal has scored 24 points, and his performance shined in the audience.

At the last moment, the Western Stars only lead by 2 points, and the Eastern Stars still have a chance to reverse and win. There are 8 seconds left in the game, and only one three-pointer can keep the MVP trophy in the Eastern Conference. Iverson did not have this goal Instead, he passed the ball to Vince Carter, the best performer of the Eastern Stars, to single out Kirilenko.

If Carter scores, nine times out of ten, Carter will be elected as the most valuable player. If Carter fails, then there is no one to blame. It is Carter himself who lost his trophy!

On the 75-degree three-pointer on the right, Carter caught the ball and Kirilenko took the main defense, with 6 seconds left.

There is only one O'Neill standing inside, and the others take the initiative to pull away to see the strongest spear and the strongest shield for the last duel.

In the 4th second, Carter moved, shot a feint in the air, dribbled the ball to the right, and shifted Kirilenko's center of gravity. Immediately, after a pause, he stepped down and dribbled the ball, and stepped back to the three-point line Inside.

The whole movement, without a trace of excess, was as smooth as flowing clouds and flowing water.

Lift the ball over the top, draw the bow and set the arrow, and shoot the three-pointer jumper.

With a bang, the basketball was in the mouth of the basket, and after a struggle, it still flew out of the basket.

Amidst the exclamations of the fans and audience, the game ended, and the Western Stars had the last laugh with a 136-134, 2-point advantage!
O'Neal wiped off his sweat and immediately put on a smile. After scoring 24 points, he won the Most Valuable Player of the All-Star Game. He got his wish and won the MVP trophy!
