Chapter 88 The Craziest Performance

At [-] p.m. local time in Houston, the All-Star Game officially kicked off.

Led by O'Neal, the Eastern Conference's starting five staggered into the court with dance steps stolen from Michael Jackson.

With O'Neill as a treasure, even dancing can make the fans laugh happily.

The Western star was naturally not far behind. Under Nash’s suggestion, he also responded with dance. Yao Ming was a little embarrassed. Action, there was a mechanical break dance, the scene was really embarrassing and embarrassing.

Being late on the bench almost made me laugh out loud, and I secretly rejoiced in my heart that fortunately, the alliance secretly manipulated the votes, otherwise I would have killed him if I let myself go up to dance.

As the host, Yao Ming made a brief opening speech, and the game started directly.

O'Neal was very funny, won the jump ball, and immediately ran to the frontcourt to ask for the ball.

The eastern stars are also very cooperative. Iverson passed the ball, and O'Neal dribbled like a guard.

This fat man is holding back bad thoughts at first glance, Yao Ming can completely sit on the basket and not go out.

But since it is an All-Star, it is natural to perform.

Yao Ming smiled and followed to the three-point line, "putting on a stance" to defend. O'Neal made fake moves, but his dribbling ability was obviously far worse than that of a real guard, and he couldn't get rid of Yao Ming's defense, so he took the ball Passed to Wade, LeBron James received Wade's pass and rushed to the basket, Duncan stepped aside directly to watch him complete a dunk with his head flat on the basket.

McGrady completed the first attack on the western side. He received a pass from Kobe and also rushed to the basket to complete a flying dunk.

The defense of both sides is basically a display. When the opposing player wants to dunk, the defensive player knows how to step aside, so they often stage wonderful dunks.

On the Eastern side, O'Neal saw another opportunity, pulled Yao Ming to the outside, received a pass from Wade, and unexpectedly passed the ball from Yao Ming's crotch. Will come to this trick.

The cutting Wade didn't even look at the ball, he just threw the ball into the sky, O'Neal flew into the basket - the ball was broken by Kobe jumping up, otherwise this ball might become the most exciting game in the All-Star Game a goal.

The two sides came and went, and the offensive efficiency was very high. After only 5 minutes of playing, the score has become 21:14, and the West leads by 7 points.

According to the rules of the league, the head coach of the All-Star team is the head coach of the team ranked first in the half. Strong contender for coach.

Avery Johnson chose to make a substitution in the 5th minute. Late, Garnett, Pau Gasol, and Tony Parker came on, leaving Kobe alone on the court in the Western Conference starter.

Before playing, the tactics Johnson arranged can be summed up in one sentence-to be late with the ball!

Sanders in the East also made adjustments, five downs and five ups, the combination of the Pistons' four kings plus Paul Pierce is also very interesting-defense?
As soon as Pierce came on the court, he showed his comprehensive offensive skills. He broke through Kobe's defense with feints from the outside, rushed into the paint, and dunked successfully.

Although the whole world knows that LeBron James' future achievements are limitless, at least for now, James is actually not as good as Pierce in terms of strength.

Paul Pierce has a strong body, comprehensive offensive skills, and strong defensive ability. At his peak, he is definitely the number one small forward in the league.

Pau Gasol served from the baseline, Parker had already run to the frontcourt, and the ball was directly handed over to Late who was waiting in the second half.

As a result, he was late and made an unexpected choice. After catching the ball, he opened his hand and threw it, and the ball scored!

There was a burst of cheers at the Toyota Center. Since yesterday's three-point contest, both professionals and fans who watched the excitement, it has become clear that the late shooting range covers the entire court, and the shooting percentage is not low at all.

Only he dared to perform such a performance in a real game. In fact, in the first game of his career, he had already played a full-court shot, but most people thought it was a dribble at the time. I just don't care.

Although the players on the western side ran for nothing, they still ran back smiling and applauding the latecomers.

Two commentators on the imperial platform commented on the ball, and Zhang Lili said: "The late choice is very unreasonable, but he is the only one in the league who dares to make such a shot. His three-point shooting percentage has always been a mysterious topic, and no one knows. How does he maintain his touch. Yesterday's three-point contest, his late arrival also proved to the world that his shooting range is currently the widest in the league."

Lao Sun added: "That's right, fortunately, being late is not the kind of player who shoots endlessly, otherwise other players in the NBA will definitely be crushed by him, and the game will completely lose suspense."

In fact, this is also the opinion of many people. Since Late showed his shooting range in the three-point contest, some media have begun to worry about whether Late's abnormal three-pointer will completely lose the suspense of the game?Will the exciting competitive game turn into a boring shooting contest?

But such worries are completely unnecessary. Late is a team player, and it is impossible for him to shoot endlessly by himself, and his high shooting percentage is also related to his reasonable style of play.

He rarely shoots against other people's defenses or double-teams, which is the key to his ability to ensure his shooting percentage.

The fans at this time don't care about this, they just want to watch the late and unreasonable three-point shooting.

Attacking again from the east, the four kings of the Pistons are not good at performing. They actually played a pick-and-roll on the court. The defense in the west is just putting on a show, allowing Rasheed Wallace to easily get a mid-range shot, an unpretentious straight-arm jumper , scored two points for the East.

There were only sporadic applause from the side of the court, obviously not very satisfied with the performance of the Pistons' four kings.

The All-Star Game is a place for star players to fly to the sky and show off their superhuman talents. The simple and unpretentious style of play of the Pistons' four kings is really unpleasant.

This is why Nowitzki complained to Late, saying that the All-Star Game is actually not suitable for big inside players.

Because the effect of the big man flying inside the sky and escaping the ground is far less beautiful than that shown by the outside players, naturally there is a lot less to watch.

Even Shaquille O'Neal can only use some crooked ideas to entertain the public, but he can't get real applause through performances on the court.

After the goal, the Eastern Conference chose to retreat quickly. As a result, Kobe directly served from the bottom line to Late, and Late chose to shoot again!

"Bang!"

The ball hit the rim hard and bounced high.

The western players all stood in their own half, and no one grabbed the rebound from the eastern players.

Ben Wallace picked up the defensive rebound and threw the ball to his teammates. Billups dribbled the ball across the half court and shot a cold arrow from beyond the three-point line, hitting a three-pointer for the Eastern Conference.

After the goal, the Eastern Conference players seemed a bit confused. Paul Pierce and Ben Wallace wanted to retreat quickly, and the other three players wanted to press the whole court. Obviously, they were late and took two full-court shots, which scared them.

Taking advantage of the panic of the Eastern Conference All-Stars, Billups rushed to try to interfere, but the action was half a beat slower and failed to affect the late shooting action.

The basketball crossed the court in a high arc, and got into the net again!
Barkley laughed wildly, while complaining: "It seems that today's AMVP must be late? As long as he continues to shoot like this, with his shooting percentage, he will definitely be able to score high points. Others don't even want to compete with him." compete."

Kenny Smith also said: "Why not? Anyway, today is the All-Star game. As long as the fans watch it happily, isn't it enough? Besides, we can also understand the real strength of Late from the side. I think those who are still hesitating now To recruit the late team, you can now make up your mind completely. The late three-point shooting rate is not only obtained by open shots. His terrible stability is enough to support him to become the core of a strong team."

The five players in the Eastern Conference returned to their own half, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, and drove the ball out. The four kings of the Pistons performed a pick-and-roll again. Hamilton got an open shot and hit a jumper.

The ball fits well -- but it's not entertaining at all, and Hamilton's unpretentious mid-range shots simply don't satisfy fans.

West once again served from the bottom line, and as soon as he received the ball late, the fans all over the field began to shout: "Do it again! Do it again!"

Even the Western Conference players on the field gestured to him for being late, signaling him to continue shooting from the field.

The four kings of the Pistons glanced at each other, and immediately chose to adjust the defensive formation tacitly. Billups rushed directly in front of Late, not giving him a chance to make a move.

If it were normal, it would be impossible for Late to take risks, but today is an All-Star, and Late also knows his weaknesses. He can't fly like other players, and he can't hit the basket with the ball like other players. The only thing he can do is All he does is shoot the three.

Since the whole world was looking forward to another full-court shot from him, he would not refuse to be late, and shot against Billups' interference.

Billups focused and raised his defensive level to the playoff level, but the late shot speed was too fast, and Billups only made a slight interference.

But he believes that this is enough. This is a full-court shot, with a distance of more than 25 meters. Any biased shot will be maximized.

If you take the ball late, you will know that the ball is not sure, and Billups did interfere with him.

But sometimes luck comes, and nothing can stop it.

He just shook his head after the late pitch, and half a second later, the entire Toyota Center was boiling again, and the ball went in again!
The four kings of the Pistons looked at each other with fear in their eyes, as if thinking of last year's finals.
