NBA: I have 3 but no D, and I still can’t dribble.
Chapter 129 At the last moment, the stars compete for the All-Star MVP!
In a subsequent attack by the Western Stars, Lin Fei also became serious on the defensive end, accurately predicted in advance, and directly intercepted McGrady's cross pass.
"Snapped!"
However, Lin Fei's poor passing skills were also revealed at this time. After controlling the ball, he wanted to quickly counterattack Wade, but was successfully counterattacked by Kobe who rushed up.
"Snapped!"
After Kobe took the ball, he rushed directly to the basket, hit the ground and gave the ball to Kevin Garnett, who jumped up with the ball and contributed another dunk.
"Boom!"
Although the Timberwolves and Lakers were competitors in the Western Conference finals last season, Garnett and Kobe also played in darkness.
On the playing field, these two guys also talked trash.
But in fact, in private, the relationship between Wolf King and Peter Pan is still very good.
Both the Lakers and Timberwolves have undergone tremendous changes this season, and their overall strength has dropped significantly.
Let’s not talk about the Lakers. Although the Timberwolves are the defending champions, they lack the marksman Lin Fei. Coupled with the decline in the status of Cassel and the Madman, it currently seems very difficult to successfully defend the title.
So in this All-Star Weekend, Garnett and Kobe also ate in private, and even discussed the possibility of joining forces.
It's just that in this period, both Kobe and Garnett are more loyal to their respective teams, and no one wants to leave the home team unless it is absolutely necessary.
After the defense came up, the game became more anxious. The Western team always led the score, but the Eastern Star team also chased after it. The point difference kept hovering between 3-8 points.
After all, it is the All-Star game, so the head coaches of the two teams, whether it is Stan Van Gundy or Mike D'Antoni, have made a richer rotation of personnel.
Although Dayao is the top vote-getter for the Western Conference team, his playing inside is limited, so his playing time is somewhat limited, and he only scored 4 points in three quarters.
Lin Fei hit two more three-pointers in the third quarter and also made a steal on the defensive end, scoring 1 points in three quarters.
O'Neal still has a strong dominance in the interior. In the West, whether it is Dayao or Duncan, it is difficult to limit the "big shark" in the interior.
After three quarters, O'Neal scored 20 points, 5 rebounds and 1 block, obviously not exerting his strength yet.
Wade obviously passed more balls to his two teammates tonight, so his performance was more balanced, scoring 12 points, 6 assists, 3 rebounds and 1 steal in the three quarters.
It was Allen Iverson who came off the bench who scored the most points for the Eastern Stars. Although AI played in his own way, his breakthrough moves were really gorgeous and he even contributed two dunks, which also surprised the fans at the scene.
Iverson has scored 27 points and 3 assists after three quarters. This has also made the 76ers fans very excited, and they are extremely looking forward to "Answer" being able to win the second All-Star MVP of his career tonight.
As early as the 2001 All-Star Game, Iverson won the first All-Star MVP in his career with 25 points and 9 assists.
That year, Iverson was at the pinnacle of his career. Not only did he win the regular season MVP, but he also led the team to the finals. He fought against the Lakers' ok team alone, and the limelight swept the world.
For the Western Stars, Kobe Bryant scored a team-high 24 points in three quarters, Garnett also had 19 points and 5 rebounds, and Tracy McGrady, Duncan and others also performed well.
Nash, who came on the bench, also got a lot of playing time under D'Antoni's care, perfectly organized the team's offense, and sent out 10 assists in three quarters.
Eastern Stars (103): (108) Western Stars.
After three quarters, the Eastern side is still 5 points behind the Western Stars.
The offensive efficiency of the star players of the two teams was good tonight. After three quarters, the scores of the two teams both broke the hundred.
During the break between the quarters, the high-definition four-sided screen above everyone's heads also quickly broadcast some wonderful goals from the first three quarters.
There are the gorgeous dunks of Kobe and Iverson, the wonderful passes of Nash and Wade, and the flying blocks of O'Neal and Garnett.
Lin Fei's several long-range three-pointers also became a breath of fresh air among everyone's passionate performances.
Fans who like Lin Fei think that Lin Fei's three-pointer shot through Yang is a blow to other stars.
But the anti-fans who don’t like Lin Fei deliberately complain that Lin Fei can only shoot three-pointers from the outside, with no sense of beauty or confrontation, nor does he pass the ball to his teammates, and he doesn’t even make a dribbling move.
This completely goes against the original entertainment purpose of the All-Star Game.
Lin Fei also expressed that it was very difficult for him. He wanted to do a breakthrough dunk or a behind-the-back pass, but without this diamond, how could he get this porcelain job?
In front of the live commentary desk on the sidelines, Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith were also looking forward to a more exciting confrontation in the fourth quarter.
"The highest score in the All-Star Game was in the 2003 Atlanta All-Star Game, which was also Michael Jordan's last All-Star Game!"
"In that game, the Western Conference Stars finally won the Eastern Conference 155:145, and Kevin Garnett also won the All-Star MVP with 37 points and 9 rebounds!"
"Charles is right. I still have fresh memories of the 2003 Atlanta All-Star Game. Not only did Garnett win the All-Star MVP with 37 points, Iverson in the East also scored 35 points, Tracy McGrady scored 29 points, and Jordan scored 20 points. points, Kobe, Francis and Duncan in the Western Conference are also 20+!"
"The 2003 All-Star Game is said to be the best in history. This year's All-Star Game is just as exciting as the 03 game!"
“I don’t know if the team’s score can eventually surpass the 03 points scored by the Western Conference team in 155. Let’s wait and see which side the final victory will belong to!”
As the commentary continued, the final quarter of the game began quickly.
The "Three Musketeers of the Sun" from the Western Team took the lead in showing off their power. Under the leadership of Nash, "Little Bully" Stoudemire and "Hacker" Marion jointly scored 5 points.
Then Garnett blocked "General" Arenas' breakthrough layup on the defensive end, and Ray Allen hit a chasing three-pointer during the counterattack fast break.
"Shh!"
The Western Stars went on an 8-0 run, and the point difference was instantly stretched to double digits.
Stan Van Gundy called a timeout. There were only 10 minutes left before the end of the game. The Eastern Stars had to give it a try.
Although it is just an exhibition match that has nothing to do with the results, these stars are also very competitive after all. Coupled with some grievances between each other, they naturally hope to win the game as much as possible.
After the timeout, Van Gundy did not send Lin Fei to play, but asked Wade and Iverson to partner in the backcourt, while Pierce, O'Neal and center O'Neal were in the frontcourt.
James, the starter, was also put on the bench, and Carter didn't play long tonight because he had a minor injury.
On the Western Team side, there are Nash, Kobe, McGrady, Garnett and Duncan.
Dayao, Nowitzki and Ray Allen all sat on the bench.
At this stage in early 2005, as Kevin Garnett won the Grand Slam last season, his historical status was catching up with Tim Duncan.
After Jordan and Malone retired one after another, Garnett is currently the undoubted third player in the league, and his current historical status is second only to O'Neal and Duncan.
And Kobe, Iverson, Nowitzki, James and others have not yet won enough personal honors.
Although Nowitzki is strong enough, he currently has neither an MVP nor a championship, so he is naturally more than half a head shorter than Duncan and Garnett at the same position.
Thinking of the NBA's historical status in the original world, Lin Fei now has to sigh that the butterfly effect he has brought is really huge.
In less than a season, it has already changed the historical trajectory of many NBA stars, and I am afraid there will be even greater changes in the future.
At least during the same period, James' popularity and status were completely overshadowed by Wade and Lin Fei.
As the league president, David Stern has begun to hesitate in advocating for James.
The emergence of Lin Fei made three-point shooting and players with baskets more popular in the league. However, James in the Cavaliers 1.0 period was obviously much worse in shooting.
The Eastern team responded quickly with a 5-0 response after coming on the court. Iverson and Wade's backcourt was full of energy.
On Duncan's side, he hit O'Brien with his back under the basket and hit the ball to "Wolf King", who made a mid-range jumper.
"Shh!"
Iverson also gave the ball to Wade during the breakthrough process. Wade passed to O'Neal again, and the latter pushed Duncan to dunk.
"Boom!"
Looking back, Kobe turned over and shot Wade in the face, and Pierce also hit a pull-up jumper facing McGrady.
Nash suddenly hit a three-pointer from the outside with a cold arrow. Wade, with the help of O'Neal's screen, broke into the basket and faced Garnett to complete a pull-up layup in the air.
"Shh!"
The two sides were fighting back and forth, maintaining high efficiency in several consecutive offensive and defensive rounds. The stars all played their own characteristics, and the score kept rising. The fans at the scene also cheered and cheered, which was quite enjoyable.
"This is a real fight between gods. There are today's league veterans such as O'Neal, Duncan and Garnett, as well as gorgeous guards such as Kobe, Iverson, McGrady and Nash!"
"There are also new generation stars like Wade, Lin, and James who have a bright future!"
"Both Kobe and Iverson are already 30+ years old. It seems that the All-Star MVP tonight will be between Kobe and Iverson. It still depends on whether the Western Conference or the Eastern Conference wins in the end!"
"Lin is the king of votes, and Van Gundy treats his own star like this? Let Lin play, we want to see Lin's ultra-long three-pointer!"
"Iverson was in really good shape tonight, as if he was dreaming back to 2001!"
"Although Lin is the vote leader, he is still too junior after all. In front of these superstars, it is understandable that he has less playing time. Look at Yao of the Western Conference team, he is still sitting on the bench!"
On the Chinese side, the fans waiting in front of the TV and mobile phones saw that the crucial fourth quarter had reached the last five minutes, and Lin Fei and Dayao were still on the bench.
Naturally, he was unhappy and began to attack the xenophobic local stars and head coaches, complaining and arguing on behalf of his two biggest stars.
"What's going on? Fei Ge is the top vote-getter, but he's not allowed to play at a critical moment? Is Van Gundy still the head coach of the Heat? How about that?"
"Let Fei Ge and Wade partner in the backcourt! Just replace Iverson, no matter how awesome he is? Just rack up points like crazy here without being selected as a starter? If the Eastern Conference loses, how can AMVP fall? With Iverson?"
"Let Wade, Phineas and Iverson play three backcourts directly, I don't think there is a problem!"
"Brother Fei is the historical vote leader with 309 million All-Star votes. At the critical moment, when the team was lagging behind, he was actually benched. Is this reasonable?"
"Brother Fei and Dayao were the top two in the vote, but they were not allowed to play at the critical moment. This is obviously a bad thing! I have such a bad temper that I really want to smash the TV!"
Just when the Chinese fans were excited, the game suddenly turned around.
As Nash assisted McGrady and hit a pull-up three-pointer from the top of the arc, the Western Stars also led by 9 points.
Eastern Stars (133): (142) Western Stars.
On the timer, there are only 3 minutes and 20 seconds left before the end of the game.
Van Gundy called another timeout and finally made personnel adjustments, replacing Pierce with Lin Fei, teaming up with Wade Iverson to play three guards, and partnering with the double O'Neal inside combination.
After returning from the timeout, seeing Lin Fei reappearing at the critical moment, the fans cheered one after another.
Of course, these cheers were also mixed with some taunts and boos from the black fans.
Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith, who served as on-site commentators, were very much looking forward to Lin Fei taking the field in the critical last three minutes.
"Lin's three-pointers may lack some of the performance value, but his ability to chase points at the last moment is obvious to all!"
"That's true. I believe Kevin Garnett was the most impressed by Lin's three-pointers. In the last quarter of G5 of the Western Conference Finals last season, without Lin, there would be no Kevin Garnett championship. And finals mvp!"
"Stan Van Gundy sent a three-guard lineup, which has indeed strengthened the team's firepower on offense, but on defense, it may be difficult to limit Kobe and Tracy McGrady on the flanks at the same time!"
On the court, the Western Conference Stars attack.
The game reached the last three minutes, and the defensive intensity naturally followed. Kobe always followed Lin Fei, who was running without the ball, and did not give him a chance to catch the ball easily.
Iverson misplaced the ball and hit Nash, then directly crossed over and reached the basket.
"Whoosh!"
Nash's defensive flaws were also fully exposed at this time.
Duncan under the basket restrained O'Neal and gave Iverson a good chance for a layup.
But Garnett, who rushed up from the diagonal thrust, was flexible and jumped up to give Iverson a pegboard hat.
"Snapped!"
This is already the "Wolf King"'s third block tonight.
After having the regular season MVP, finals MVP and championship Grand Slam at the same time, Garnett has also worked harder and is always at his peak.
Judging from the current situation, Kevin Garnett's historical status must be much higher than that of the original world. Even if he ends up with the Timberwolves, he will never win a second championship.
The basketball that was slapped by Garnett bounced back from the tempered backboard, and Wade, who had quick eyes and quick hands, got it first, turned around and quickly gave it to Lin Fei, who was running at the top of the arc.
At this time, Lin Fei relied on a strong screen from O'Neal, who was lifted up, and rushed straight to the top of the arc from the outside on the right, accelerating to get away from Kobe Bryant, and did not stop after receiving the pass from Wade.
He took off with his body tilted and shot a difficult and elegant three-pointer.
Is this ball available?
"Shh!"
sixth.
Lin Fei quickly hit an exaggerated elegant three-pointer in less than 20 seconds, sounding the counterattack horn of the Eastern Stars at the last moment.
