Chapter 398 LeBron is Confused
Tianyang's words of sincere appreciation drew everyone's clapping and applauding.

Kuzma said seriously: "I don't want to learn three-pointers from Carter."

Tatum nodded: "Well, I don't want to be three-pointed with Ke Lao."

Ingram shrugged: "Hart is still lucky, but why is your three-point shooting rate average?"

Hart said with a smile: "It means that I should shoot more. With the guidance of a famous teacher but lack of practice, I still can't improve my hit rate..."

"Go away..." Kuzma, Tatum, and Ingram all complained.

...

After the three-point contest, the scene entered the rest period, and then began the highlight of the All-Star Weekend-the dunk contest.

Tianyang signed up for the competition, but the league did not approve it. The reason given was that he did not have enough dunks and the effect of dunks was not popular. However, famous reporters such as Zak Novi broke the news and declared: "The sponsor of the All-Star Game Kia is not willing to To see a second car brand on the all-star scene, even a Ferrari that has nothing to do with Kia."

It's normal to think about it, as long as Ferrari appears, who will discuss Kia after the slam dunk contest?

Of course, the most important thing is that Kia has given the money, and there is a contract, even if Tianyang is popular.

However, Tianyang still appeared in the slam dunk contest as a guest performer, helping Nance Jr. and Mitchell to complete the dunk.Nance Jr. invited him because he had a good relationship as a teammate before, and Mitchell invited him because he was grateful for the original discovery.

In the end, Mitchell won the championship by imitating Carter's 360-degree windmill dunk.

……

After the slam dunk contest ended, everyone went back to their respective homes and finally had time to discuss. However, the fans were not interested in the skills contest and the slam dunk contest. Even the three-point contest was only discussed by a few people. The star race.

"I can't wait to see five Curry vs. five LeBron!"

"Tianyang won the championship with 34 points tonight, and I think Team LeBron will definitely lock him up all the way tomorrow"

"I'm a little shaken, maybe the SkyOcean team can really win!"

Seeing the enthusiasm of the fans, ESPN officially launched a vote.

This time, the percentage in favor of Team LeBron's victory plummeted from 95 percent to 80 percent.

After the voting results were counted, ESPN on-site commentator Ma Wei-Albert updated his blog and wrote: "This may be the power of Tianyang, which has pulled down 15 percentage points by itself."

That being said, the number of people who support Team LeBron's victory is still overwhelming.

...

On the morning of the 18th, SkyOcean appeared at the Staples Center and accepted the follow-up interview with LeBron.

"Tianyang, what do you think of the statistical results on the social network?"

"I like this statistical result very much. Most fans are not optimistic about us. This gives us the opportunity to surprise these fans. I hope they can enjoy a visual feast tonight."

"LeBron, what do you think of the statistics on social networks?"

"Thanks for the support of the goal, but it is not easy to compete with players like Tianyang, Curry, and Harden. We will definitely go all out to bring the fans the best experience."

"Tianyang, if a lore is needed at the last moment, who will you arrange to shoot that ball?"

"First of all, this is something that Coach Wharton needs to consider, but if I had to choose, I would choose Thompson. He is the best player in catching and shooting among the 12 of us, and he has the greatest confidence in giving the lore the ball."

"LeBron, if you had to choose someone to defend Thompson's game-winning shot, who would you choose?"

"Why do you ask that our two players should be considered by the coach? If this happens, I will recommend Durant to Coach Casey. He is Thompson's teammate and should know Thompson's shooting habits very well."

...

In a blink of an eye, it was night and the All-Star Game officially started.

The arrangement of the entire Staples Center was like a dream. Kevin Hart walked to the temporary stage with a microphone in his hand and shouted loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, please allow me to be honored to introduce to you... "

First, the LeBron team started with five players, then came off the bench, and finally Coach Casey played.

The Tianyang team played in the same order. Every time a name was read, the fans cheered and applauded.

After the players of the two teams finished playing, the scene entered the pre-match ceremony. Fergie, the former lead singer of the Black Eyed Peas, led the singing of the American national anthem, and then the Canadian rock band Naked Ladies sang the Canadian national anthem.

After the two songs were played, the TNT quartet began to work live.

Ernie: "Which team do you think will win? Who do you think will win the MVP of this game?"

O'Neal: "LeBron team LeBron."

Kenny: "LeBron Durant."

Barkley: "For the sake of the show, I will say Thompson of the SkyOcean team against my will."

Ernie: "Why are you unanimously not optimistic about the SkyOcean team?"

O'Neill: "No way, Team LeBron has everything SkyOcean has, and Team LeBron doesn't necessarily have what Team LeBron has. Anyone who understands basketball will understand such a simple question."

Kenny: "The SkyOcean team still has hope..."

Barkley: "What hope? Over 80% three-point shooting?"

Between the words of the four, the game officially started.

The SkyOcean team started, Irving, Curry, SkyOcean, DeRozan, George.

The LeBron team starts, LeBron, Durant, Giannis, Davis, Embiid.

The two teams stood in good positions on the field, and at a glance, Tianyang team was shorter in height and smaller in size. Under the reminder of the big screen at the scene, the fans laughed out loud. They have never seen a difference in stature. Such a big game.

Embiid and George entered the middle circle and stood still. The referee walked between the two and gently tossed the ball up.

Snapped!George took the lead to touch the ball and swung it back vigorously. Irving picked up the basketball and brought it forward.

Just past the center line, Irving suddenly passed the ball to Curry, who made a super long three-pointer.

Not to mention Giannis who was in charge of defense, even Irving and Tianyang didn't come over and Curry would take a shot. The basketball drew a long arc in the air and flew straight to the hoop.

Bang bang bang, after bouncing back and forth three times, the basketball fell into the hoop.

O'Neill: "It's okay. If you can keep this kind of hit rate, you have a chance to persist until the end."

Turning his head, Embiid, who was still outside the three-point line, trotted to the bottom line to serve, and LeBron took the ball forward.

Tianyang stepped forward directly to press, but his purpose was not to steal the ball, but to disrupt LeBron's rhythm.

After several interferences, LeBron chose to pass the ball to the right sideline, but as soon as Durant got the ball, Curry and Irving double-teamed.In desperation, Durant also chose to pass the ball, but the same happened to Giannis receiving the ball.

Passing back and forth, the basketball flew into Davis' hands, he didn't handle the ball very well, and he didn't have a three-pointer, and the offense stalled.

Fortunately, LeBron and Giannis reacted quickly enough to cut directly to the basket.

The two ran, George could block Giannis, but LeBron couldn't block it at all, and DeRozan could only intercept the pass.

Maybe because they didn't play together often, Davis and LeBron didn't cooperate well, and the pass went out of bounds.

Turning his head, Irving took the bottom line to the frontcourt.

Just after passing the center line, he suddenly stopped and passed a pass to Tianyang, who also made a super long three-pointer.

LeBron didn't defend at all, the basketball flew towards the ring at high speed, and with a swish, it went into the net hollowly.

Barkley opened his mouth wide and said in surprise, "They won't keep shooting ultra-long three-pointers, will they?"

After changing sides and attacking again, LeBron rushed to the free throw line and faced George's defense and gave the ball to Embiid.

But Nongmei thought that Embiid was about to dunk, so he turned around early, and the basketball fell directly into DeRozan's hands.

Without further ado, DeRozan made a long pass. Owen caught the ball and rushed to the frontcourt. He first passed Tianyang to attract LeBron and Durant's defensive attention, then received Tianyang's return pass, and made a two-step pull from the three-point line. shot.

LeBron blocked his face to defend this time, but he still hit a three-pointer and got a foul.

Kenny: "Interesting, you see LeBron is confused, he may be thinking in his heart, can he still play like this?"
