NBA: James wants to team up with me

Chapter 135: Winning All-Star MVP and Emergency Stop Master Badge

At the beginning of the second quarter, Dayao and Wang Chongjun, who had been replaced early in the first quarter, returned to the field.

At the beginning of the game, Nash passed the ball to Yao from the outside. The latter missed a jump shot and grabbed an offensive rebound and then scored a dunk, getting the first score and rebound of the game.

During the Eastern Conference's offense, Iverson missed a shot from outside the three-point line.

The rebound spot happened to be near Wang Chong. Wang Chong was so happy when he got the basketball that he immediately sprinted towards the frontcourt with the ball.

He knows the rhythm of the All-Stars very well. Regardless of the mess, he only needs to highlight a fast offensive rhythm. The opponent will not defend too seriously anyway.

This is indeed the case. Wang Chong accelerated all the way and Pierce, who was facing him, only defended symbolically and let Wang Chong pass.

Facing the empty basket, Wang Chong took off his knees, stretched his body in the air, and launched a powerful and violent two-handed dunk!

"Oh ho - a violent dunk from Wang Chong! I didn't expect that Wang Chong, who always attacks with mid-to-long-range shots, would actually have such a beautiful dunk performance."

Wang Chong dunks very rarely on the court, usually only in fast breaks when no one is guarding him, and his dunk action and momentum are not that strong.

But that's just a different style of play.

Wang Chong's dunk ability value is actually not low. Durant's dunk ability value is 85, and Wang Chong has now reached 82. Although the gap is not small compared with dunk masters such as James, it is enough. , especially when there is no one to defend, you can definitely do some tricks.

At this time, the players on the Western Conference All-Star court are Nash, Ray Allen, Wang Chong, Duncan and Dayao. Without Kobe and Tracy McGrady, the situation is obviously different. At least Wang Chong is in an open position. When the time comes, you will never miss the ball.

On the All-Star stage, Nash still focused on passing the ball as before, and would pass the ball as soon as he found an open teammate.

In the next few rounds, Wang Chong, who took the initiative to position himself in the bottom corner, received a lot of passes, fully utilizing the power of the three-point shooter he had just obtained from the bottom corner. He made 3 of 2 three-pointers, and with his teammate Lei . Allen directly shot a three-pointer.

The ferocious three-point attack stunned the Eastern All-Stars, and the point difference was instantly widened.

Wang Chong played very comfortably in these five minutes, and he had to admire Nash, the passing master, for his strong vision and passing skills.

But happy times are always short-lived.

The Eastern Conference called a timeout to adjust. After the timeout, both sides' lineups changed.

In the West, Nash was replaced and Kobe reappeared.

It's not that Kobe doesn't pass the ball, this All-Star Game is one of the rare times Kobe is more selfless.

Otherwise, there would be no player who scored more than 20 points in the entire game.

If Kobe wants to score, he can score 20+ points even if he just brushes.

But during the game, Wang Chong also discovered that Kobe really had no intention of passing the ball to him at all, and would rather pass to other players than to him.

The opponent obviously did it on purpose. The two were obviously teammates and had a closer relationship than other players, but they refused to pass the ball to him.

Wang Chong can probably guess the reason. As mentioned before, he has affected the opponent's status in the Lakers.

In fact, there were already some clues in the two games before the All-Star Game, but at that time Wang Chong didn't quite believe it. How could Kobe be so narrow-minded? Do you do this just because of some rumors from the outside world?

Obviously Wang Chong still underestimated the impact this incident had on Kobe.

You know, he had just squeezed out O'Neal and became the boss of the Lakers. He did not hesitate to get infamy for this. Many O'Neal's Lakers fans vented their anger on Kobe after the Sharks traveled east to the Heat, so much so that there was a point. At that time, Kobe was like a street rat in Los Angeles. As soon as he went out, he would see all kinds of slogans saying, "We want Shaq, we don't need Kobe."

He finally got through the most difficult period and became the boss of the Lakers as he wished. The boss position of this team could not even be secured for a season before Wang Chong came up and was so powerful that he was already the head coach of the Lakers. Phil Jackson even had the idea of ​​changing the core of tactics.

Now the Los Angeles media are discussing whether Wang Chong will be stronger as the core of the Lakers' tactics. How can Kobe not be anxious about this?

At this time, Kobe had even made up his mind.

Even if it affects the team's record this season, he must suppress the momentum of Wang Chong's rise! This is directly related to his future status and career height with the Lakers!

To put it simply, Kobe was a little impatient at this time. He didn't care whether he was an All-Star or a regular season player, as long as he could suppress Wang Chong.

But soon, Kobe realized something was wrong.

First of all, after Wang Chong grabs the rebound, he will not choose to pass the ball. Instead, he will directly attack with the ball. Moreover, sometimes Dayao will pass the ball to Wang Chong after grabbing the rebound.

Once, after Dayao grabbed a defensive rebound, Kobe actively stepped forward to ask for the ball. However, Dayao ignored him and passed the ball to Wang Chong, who was further away.

Obviously, Dayao has been in cahoots with Wang Chong.

In fact, all the players on the field saw this scene and looked confused.

Wang Chong and Dayao are half compatriots. It is not surprising that the two help each other in the All-Stars. But Wang Chong and Kobe are also teammates on the same team. Why did the two start fighting openly and secretly?

However, this kind of thing has nothing to do with them. For most players, participating in the All-Star Game is just to make an appearance and perform to make their presence felt. They have no interest in awards such as All-Star MVP. After all, this The gadgets don't have much value, so whether they take them or not won't have any impact on them. It's more interesting to watch the fun on the sidelines.

In the entire second quarter of the game, Wang Chong played for about 8 minutes. Relying on Nash's pass in the first half of the quarter and the rebounds he obtained from Dayao in the second half, he took 8 shots and hit 6 goals, including three-pointers. 5 of 3, scoring 15 points in a single quarter. Counting the 3 points in the first quarter, he managed to score 18 points in the half.

If based on the original 05 All-Star game, 18 points would have been the highest score in the game.

With Wang Chong's scoring surge in the second quarter, the Western All-Stars led the Eastern All-Stars by 65 points at halftime, 51:14.

But it was also because of Wang Chong's scoring explosion that the butterfly effect occurred. After Wang Chong came off the court, Kobe began to monopolize the ball and continue to attack and score. He did not pass the ball selflessly to assist his teammates like he originally did.

Obviously Kobe has changed his mind and wants to compete with Wang Chong for the All-Star MVP.

Compared with Wang Chong, Kobe has a huge advantage. As a limited number of top superstars in the league, he has much more cards and playing time than Wang Chong.

Wang Chong, who played 8 minutes in the second quarter, did not even get a minute of playing time in the entire third quarter.

If nothing else, Wang Chong should still have a chance to play in the fourth quarter. Anyway, after the whole game, his playing time should be a little over 20 minutes. This kind of treatment is relatively good for a newcomer who has just arrived. .

On the other hand, Kobe gained a lot of playing time in the third quarter and used three quarters to push his personal score to 20 points.

However, Kobe's efficiency was not very good with a large number of shots. Although the Eastern All-Stars never defended seriously, O'Neal in the penalty area had no intention of caring about Kobe. O'Neal and Kobe were enemies in the All-Star Game. As long as Kobe When he rushes into the penalty area with the ball, O'Neal will definitely come over to help. Kobe doesn't pass the ball anyway.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Eastern All-Stars launched a 13:2 counterattack climax in the third quarter, bringing the previous double-digit point difference to within single digits.

Wang Chong was speechless watching from the sidelines.

He doesn't want Kobe to play well, which will affect his bid for MVP, but he doesn't want the Eastern Conference to catch up with the point difference. If the Western Conference All-Stars lose the game, even if he is the best player among the Western Conference players, he will not be able to win. If used, the system task will fail directly.

Fortunately, after the third quarter, Wang Chong returned to the field in the fourth quarter, and Dayao was also on the stage with him.

This situation made Wang Chong couldn't help but turn his head and look at the Western Conference All-Star head coach, the Spurs' famous coach Popovich, who was sitting on the bench.

Obviously, the other party did this specifically, and the purpose... was to help him? But why?

<divclass="contentadv">When Wang Chong saw Popovich's interested eyes, he understood a little bit.

Good guy, he is indeed a famous head coach in the league, Popovich is really cunning.

Obviously, the opponent has seen the overt and covert fight between Wang Chong and Kobe on the court, so he took the initiative to add fuel to the flames.

In the West, the Spurs' biggest opponents are the Suns and the Lakers, especially the Lakers. Although O'Neal left and they lost to the Spurs in the previous regular season, the rise of Wang Chong still made Popovich feel threaten.

The Lakers may not be a match for the Spurs this year, but what about next year? What about two years from now?

Kobe and Wang Chong are both young and can remain at their peak for at least 6 to 10 years. Even if the Lakers bring in an All-Star insider during this period, the Spurs may not be able to compete with them.

In this case, it is obviously the easiest and easiest way to disintegrate the Lakers from within, just like the OK combination, which was disbanded due to internal conflicts.

For this purpose, Popovich deliberately did not let Wang Chong play in the third quarter, giving Kobe enough playing time, and then replaced Wang Chong in the fourth quarter while putting Kobe on the bench.

After a whole game like this, it seems that there is no problem with the playing time of the two, but it is far from being as simple as it seems.

Lakers coach Phil Jackson couldn't help but sigh when he saw this scene on live television.

"This old fox..."

He understands Kobe's character better than Popovich. That kind of paranoia and unwillingness to admit defeat was a bit overwhelming even for O'Neal at his peak, let alone the rising star Wang Chong? Once Wang Chong really threatens Kobe's status in the team, the contradiction between the two will definitely continue to be reflected in subsequent games.

If he wants the team to continue winning or even win the championship, Phil must rack his brains to find a way to solve this hidden danger.

Back on the field.

After Wang Chong came on the court, he couldn't wait to shoot and score. The system task was more important to him than anything else.

Although at this point in the game, players from both sides will involuntarily increase their defensive intensity during the game. Even if it is an exhibition match, who really likes to lose? Subconsciously, you will also be more inclined to win.

However, the forward players in the East do not actually have particularly outstanding defensive abilities. The two starters are Carter and Hill, who are over 2 meters tall, while the backup forwards in the East are Pierce and Jamison.

Even if these people are serious and go all out, it will be difficult to guard against Wang Chong, let alone in the All-Star Game?

Moreover, Wang Chong also had Dayao as a helper at this time. During the game, Dayao frequently took the initiative to cover Wang Chong in pick-and-rolls. His broad body could easily block the opponent and create wide-open shooting opportunities for Wang Chong.

This allowed Wang Chong's offense to get twice the result with half the effort. He hit consecutive mid-range shots from the beginning, successfully widening the point difference that was already close to 3 points.

The Eastern All-Stars obviously did not expect that as soon as Wang Chong came on the Western side, the offensive firepower suddenly increased so much. It was difficult to organize a counterattack to keep up with Wang Chong's offensive rhythm.

Kobe was sitting on the bench, watching Wang Chong lead a powerful offensive by the Western Conference All-Stars right after he came on the field, with an uncertain expression on his face.

Wang Chong's performance at this time was in sharp contrast to his performance in the third quarter. When he was on the court, the West was overwhelmed by the East, and the double-digit score advantage was chased down to single digits. Now Wang Chong is on the court. The Western Conference immediately regained its momentum and opened up the score. How did this make Kobe feel embarrassed?

This is exactly what Popovich wants.

Wang Chong's stable offensive scoring in the fourth quarter successfully defeated the Eastern All-Stars' chance to take the lead, and the Western All-Stars consolidated their victory until the end.

At 131:125, the Western All-Stars finally defeated the Eastern All-Stars by 6 points and won the game.

科比在第四节比赛还剩3分钟结束的时候重新回到场上，并且3投1中，罚球2中2又得到4分，整场比赛出战31分钟，拿到25分4篮板6助攻的数据。

But compared to Wang Chong, who scored 22 points, 30 rebounds, and 8 of 10 three-pointers in just 6 minutes of playing time, he is obviously still inferior. What is more important is the contribution and role of the two to the team when they are on the court. The sharp contrast also made the All-Star MVP voting after the game no suspense.

Wang Chong was unanimously elected as the 05 All-Star MVP, while Kobe Bryant didn't even get a single vote.

When Wang Chong stood in the center of the stage, holding the All-Star MVP trophy high, his Western Conference All-Star teammates smiled and applauded Wang Chong. Kobe was the only player on the Western Conference All-Star side who didn't have a smile on his face.

Coincidentally, there was also a player from the Eastern Conference with a stiff smile. When other Eastern Conference All-Stars applauded Wang Chong, his movements were stiff and he reluctantly clapped his hands twice.

This person is James.

Kobe Bryant in the West worked very hard in the game and wanted to compete with Wang Chong for MVP. James in the East actually had the same idea.

Like Wang Chong, who appeared on the court as an All-Star starter for the first time, James also thought about what it would be like to win the MVP in his first All-Star appearance.

He also played very hard throughout the game. He played 31 minutes, second only to Iverson in the Eastern Conference who played 32 minutes. He contributed 18 points, 8 rebounds and 7 assists in the entire game, almost achieving a triple-double.

If the Eastern Conference wins the game and he records a triple-double, he will definitely be the unanimous MVP.

However, Wang Chong's scoring is too buggy, especially in an All-Star game where he is not defended specifically or even defended at all. His mid-range scoring efficiency is outrageous with no one restricting him.

And in this game, Wang Chong was not only accurate in mid-range shots, but also in three-pointers. He made 10 of 6 shots and scored 3 points on just three-pointers. It was really not his luck to win the three-point contest yesterday.

James tried very hard to lead the Eastern Conference All-Stars to win the game, but due to Wang Chong's non-stop shooting attack, it could only come to nothing.

Being beaten first by Wang Chong again, this feeling is very uncomfortable. Even if the honor this time is only a trivial All-Star MVP, James, who has lost to Wang Chong many times, really does not want to lose in the contest between the two. Dropped any time.

Under the gaze of two slightly unhappy and hostile eyes, Wang Chong had a smile on his face.

He doesn't bother to care what other people think or think now.

With the acquisition of the All-Star MVP, the system tasks are completed again, and task rewards are also distributed.

"Ding——! The system task is completed, and now the task rewards will be distributed."

The system prompt sounded in Wang Chong's ears, so clear and sweet.

Can't wait to enter the consciousness space, Wang Chong immediately saw the 2000 points arrived in his account, and then saw a gold-level badge randomly awarded by the system on the badge wall.

This golden badge appeared in the organization column. It was Wang Chong's first badge in the organizational category so far.

But this badge has little to do with organizing passes. It is also a badge that enhances Wang Chong's own offensive ability, called Emergency Stop Master.

Badge: Emergency Stop Master, which can reduce the inertia and stiffness of players when they make an emergency stop, and can better adjust their body posture to facilitate accelerated breakthroughs or shooting.

This is a standard defender badge, used to enhance the rhythm of players' emergency stop actions on the field to deceive defensive players. In the 2K game, this badge can also unlock exclusive emergency stop actions.

However, this badge is not particularly cost-effective in the game. At least in Wang Chong's impression, there are many players who hold this badge, including Curry, Irving, Paul and others who have the best dribbling ability among guards. He has this badge, but the level of the badge is only gold level, not the top purple hall of fame.

It is worth mentioning that Durant also has this badge in 2K, and it is one of the only gold-level badges among his organizational badges.

Wang Chong felt that the system would randomly receive this badge, which had something to do with the Durant growth template card bound to him.
