Chapter 332 All-Star Weekend ([-])
On February 2005, 2, the star figure competition began.

The first skill challenge.

The rules of the game are simple: star players face off in pairs, and within the specified time, complete the specified actions such as dribbling, passing, and shooting, and the player with the shortest time wins.

Steve Nash demonstrated the technical skills of the strongest point guard in the active NBA league. He perfectly completed dribbling, precise passing, and shooting with smooth speed, and won the final championship in the shortest time.

Immediately afterwards, the three-point shooting contest was held.

The rules of the game, complete several fixed-point three-point shots within the specified time, and the contestant who hits the most wins.

In this project, the Suns team shined again. Richardson used his superb three-point shooting skills to tell everyone how terrifying the three-point shooting ability of the Suns' three-point leader is.

Richardson passed the test and won the title of three-pointer king.

Finally, there is the All-Star Weekend Slam Dunk Contest.

The rules of the game are two-two dunk duels, the referee raises a card to score points, and the player who scores the most advances to win.

Josh Smith of the Eagles also dunked with amazing creativity, defeated the alien Vince Carter and won the slam dunk contest.

……

On February 2st, the main course of the All-Star Game will be served, and the West-Eastern Theater All-Star Game will officially begin.

Pepsi Center at night.

After a 30-minute performance show before the game, the star players put on their jerseys and went out to warm up.

The star team in the Western Theater started with the Five Tigers, point guard Tracy McGrady, shooting guard Kobe Bryant, small forward Duncan, power forward Garnett, and center Yao Ming.

The Eastern Stars start with the Five Tigers, and the point guard is James, shooting guard Iverson, small forward Hill, power forward Vince Carter, and center O'Neal.

The starting five tigers of both sides are all voted by the fans. McGrady directly casts as a point guard. However, he plays a point forward in the Magic, so he should be qualified for this position!

The same is true for the Eastern team. Vince Carter, as the former vote leader, was selected as the starter of the All-Star Game even if he played power forward.

Therefore, tactics are not important, popularity is important.

beep!
A crisp whistle sounded!
The referee casually threw the basketball high into the sky, and the game officially began with a scrum.

Yao Ming vs O'Neal! !

"Sharks swim east", immediately pressured Jermaine O'Neal and Ben Wallace with strong strength, and deservedly won the position of the starting center in the East.

Yao Ming would be no match for the overweight Shaquille O'Neal if he was playing at the basket. However, in the jump ball, Shaquille O'Neal, even in the form of a flying pig, was still no match for the little Oriental giant. In the hands of McGrady.

McGrady, who was a little dumbfounded, dribbled the ball one step, and immediately passed the ball to Kobe.

Kobe looked helplessly at the other starters of the western team, and shook his head with a wry smile. Even McGrady is 203cm tall, and his height is the lowest, only 198cm. According to the habit of the shortest player playing point guard , McGrady passed the ball to him, but it is quite normal.

On the bench, when Nash saw this scene, his originally stern face also burst into a smile.

Outside the stadium, the fans and audience booed, cheered or applauded one after another.

Kobe didn't have much thought either. It's not that he didn't play point guard. In high school, in order to break the opponent's tactics of not giving him the ball, he generally controlled the ball.

Dribbled the ball to the front court, Iverson took the initiative to defend, no matter which one he chooses, it is a natural defensive loophole of dislocation, but this dislocation can be big or small.

Iverson naturally picked Kobe, who was relatively the shortest.

At the top arc of the three-point line, Kobe feinted a shot, got short, and immediately dribbled the ball into the three-point line.

Ignoring Iverson's footsteps to follow, he reached the free throw line one step, immediately drew his bow and arrow, stopped suddenly to pull the ball up, opened his hand for a two-point jumper and shot back.

Is this purely bullying Iverson's lack of height?

Even if Iverson really defended, his hand interference would not be within reach.

Kobe's ability to stay in the air is very powerful, his body is laid out in the air, very elegant, the whole movement, from breaking through, pulling the ball, jumping up, shooting, a series of movements, are very smooth, there is no half redundant, the movements are very standardized, Simply picturesque.

The basketball is like plucking the strings in the hand, drawing a full moon-like arc in the air.

Swish! !

Kobe shot up and down with a knife in his hand, and used a superb and gorgeous pull-up jumper to hit the bull's-eye steadily and score first.

2 to 0! !
The Eastern Stars attacked. After Iverson received Carter's fast serve from the bottom line, he immediately exerted force and moved forward with lightning speed.

Yao Ming and Duncan, the two insiders, may be irresistible in a positional battle, but if they run, they will probably lose more than half of their combat power.

Iverson's speed increased rapidly, and Kobe and McGrady desperately chased back, but they still couldn't catch up. After all, Iverson not only has speed, but his extraordinary skills like wearing flowers and butterflies can make defenders very headache.

Iverson took three steps and made two steps in parallel, and went into the inside line in front of him. He was flat in front of him, without slowing down for half a point. He dribbled the ball straight to Huanglong.

Kobe and Tracy McGrady's blocks followed, but Iverson's shots were too wide.

The basketball hit the top of the backboard hard and bounced off.

James rushed to the basket like a magic soldier, jumped up from the basket, did not wait for the basketball to fall, directly caught the ball in the air, took the ball with both hands and poured it towards the basket.

A loud bang!
Amidst the exclamation of the fans and audience, they saw the picture of James dunking Kobe and McGrady.

In fact, James is just making up deductions.

However, Iverson's wild and unconstrained pass on the board made Kobe and McGrady the background for James' dunk.

2 to 2! !
Kobe dribbled and attacked, arcing above the three-point line. Facing Iverson's defense, Kobe held back the offense abruptly.

Instead, think of yourself as a point guard to play!

Now his situation in the Lakers is very bad. If he wants to find a good helper to assist him, he must show his style of playing selflessly.

If even in the All-Star Game, Kobe played point guard and played alone, then if you are considering the Lakers star, you have to consider the pros and cons.

After all, playing next to such a boss, his ball rights and statistics may be in danger of declining. No star will not care about the statistics related to signing a big contract.

With such a human mind, Kobe did not forcefully respond to Iverson. Even if he believed that he would be sure to attack Iverson at least nine times out of ten, he still chose to pass the ball.

Kobe casually hoisted the basketball inside.

How tall is Vince Carter?Kobe was not flat, but what he thought of was Duncan, who would definitely be able to easily beat the opposing Carter.

As for passing the ball to Yao Ming, Kobe did not consider this option.After all, even if he and O'Neill really had a falling out, the fat man's strength was still so strong that it made people despair. What he was dissatisfied with was O'Neill's attitude.

In the low position on the left, Duncan received the ball and turned his back. The other players did not have the reason to help defend and make up for the position. Instead, they opened up space and let the two of them face off directly.

Duncan VS Carter!

Carter, one of the "four shooting guards", defends Duncan, one of the "four power forwards". This is an absolute superstar matchup, and it is also an absolute dislocation.

Duncan arched Carter with his back twice, stepped on nimble steps, turned around and pulled the ball to the basket, wiped Carter cleanly, easily shot the ball and wiped the board, and stably hit the basketball into the basket.

At this moment, the title of "Stone Buddha" was vividly reflected. Even in the All-Star Performance Arena, Duncan still used his best way to attack, hitting two points on the board, and the stability was amazing! !
4 to 2! !
