NBA: The start beat Kobe Bryant in his old age

Chapter 172 All-Star MVP!

beep!
The referee blew his whistle, indicating that Curry could serve!

James, Paul George, Wade and others quickly followed their defensive targets!Obviously not going to let Curry pass the ball easily.

Curry looked left and right, but couldn't find a chance to serve for a while.

From the moment the referee blows his whistle, the player in charge of serving has only five seconds to serve.

If five seconds have elapsed and the ball has not been sent, it is tantamount to a service violation and the possession of the ball will be changed.

The five All-Star players in the East showed their super defensive ability.

Seeing that time was running out, Lin Tian ran desperately, briefly got rid of James, and got a chance to catch the ball.

Curry found the right opportunity and finally passed the ball to Lin Tian.

Many Lakers fans haven't had time to put their hearts back in their stomachs, because the timer has already started to count down!

Lin Tian only has seven seconds left to attack!

Today he feels hot, and he has scored a full 50 points so far!This is still a case of convergence in the second half.

Cole is also a reasonable coach. According to the tactical arrangement, this last attack is to let Lin Tian single out James.

Curry, Durant, Kobe and Leonard all spread out, giving Lin Tian enough space.

James stared at Lin Tian closely, and said at the same time: "Rookie! Don't dream! You can't be lore!"

Trash talking at critical moments is also a kind of psychological tactic. James understands this very well!
Sometimes James can even use his eyes to scare some rookies who have just entered the league to pass the ball. This is the sense of oppression from a superstar!
In less than five seconds!Lin Tian did not change direction, and directly chose to force James!

Seeing this, Wade and Paul George ran towards Lin Tian almost without hesitation.

They are sure that Lin Tian will not pass the ball!Moreover, the speed of the two is extremely fast, as long as Lin Tian hesitates for a moment, they are confident to intercept Lin Tian.

Lin Tian was also surprised by the opponent's defensive strategy!This last attack, they will not let their own attack!

Although his advantage is not passing the ball, but he is about to face the double-teaming of three people, Lin Tian chose to pass the ball almost without thinking.
Without even looking at Bryant on the wing, he threw the ball in Bryant's direction.

Wade, who reacted extremely quickly, tried to stop it, but he didn't do so.

Kobe had always maintained the action of being ready to catch the ball and shoot at any time. When the basketball came to his hands, he just glanced at the basket and resolutely threw the basketball in his hand.

hum...

The moment Kobe threw the ball, the harsh beep sounded.

More than 2 spectators at the scene stared intently at the basketball in the air.

Swish!
A melodious sound of a basketball hollowing into the net sounded!this moment!The audience is boiling up!

Kobe hit a three-pointer at a critical moment!

Lin Tian, ​​who assisted Kobe to get the three-pointer, rushed towards Kobe directly, and the two embraced tightly.

Lin Tian shouted into Kobe's ear: "Kobe! I knew you could get in!"

Curry, Durant, Leonard, and the Western All-Star players on the bench also surrounded them excitedly!

Some photographers at the scene also pointed their lenses at Kobe and others.

The commentator said excitedly: "Oh! My God! I really can't think of a more perfect ending than today's game!"

Although James, Paul George and others on the west side were a little discouraged, they immediately came over to congratulate Kobe.

James never expected that this rookie would choose to pass the ball so calmly at the last moment!

What about Kobe's disciples?Why is this not like Kobe, but more like yourself?
Of course, it's hard for James to say anything, he just thinks this rookie is too scary!Too scary to be a rookie!
The players of the Western team hugged together and celebrated for several minutes.

Many Kobe fans at the scene also hugged each other excitedly. I am afraid they will never forget this moment in their lifetime.

After everything was settled, the reporters went onto the pitch.

Also stepping into the court from the outside is the current NBA president Adam Silver.

As the head of the NBA, Xiao Hua has had a bad reputation since he took office, but the salaries of the players have been exaggerated year by year.

He took the microphone handed over by the staff, at first he spoke some rather polite official words, and then began to present the awards.

Although the gold content of the All-Star MVP is not as high as that of the regular season MVP, only one person can get it every year.

Judging from today's performance, everyone basically knows who the MVP is.

Xiao Hua cleared his throat before presenting the award: "Ahem! I announce that the player who won the All-Star MVP for the 2015-2016 season is... Lin Tian from the Los Angeles Lakers!"

Although everyone had guessed it, after Xiao Hua announced the winner of the MVP, there was thunderous applause from the audience!
Lin Tian slowly stood beside Xiao Hua, and took the heavy MVP trophy from Xiao Hua's hand.

The trophy was in a transparent round shape with an exquisite appearance. Lin Tian raised the trophy high above his head, enjoying the cheers of the audience.

The surrounding players also came over to shake hands with him to express their congratulations.

Then Lin Tian took the microphone, and began to deliver his acceptance speech under Xiao Hua's gesture.

As the trophy with the highest gold content that he has obtained so far, the All-Star MVP is also of great significance to Lin Tian.

In front of more than 2 spectators and tens of millions of spectators all over the world, Lin Tian expressed his heartfelt thanks.

When he was about to end his speech, he did not forget to say: "Thank you Kobe for the last three-pointer! Without that ball, I would not have my MVP!"

Penguin Sports Live.

After all, it was the All-Star Game, and the popularity of the live broadcast exceeded 3000 million today!
After listening to Lin Tian's acceptance speech, the barrage in the live broadcast reached its peak:

"6666! The first Chinese player to win the NBA All-Star MVP was born!"

"Although I always hoped that Kobe would win the All-Star MVP before the game! But it seems the same for Lin Tian to get this honor."

"Kobe's lore! Lin Tian won the All-Star MVP! This is really the best ending I can think of! I dare not write such a script!"

"This is the most exciting All-Star game I've ever seen! In the fourth quarter, both sides are obviously serious!"

"As expected of chattering! You don't have to be too handsome!"

……

The end of the All-Star Game also means that this year's All-Star has come to a successful conclusion.

Lin Tian only learned after the game that the All-Star MVP also had a car as a gift.

The car comes from a sponsor, it's not expensive, it's just a normal car.

But for Lin Tian, ​​it's pretty good, and it will be more convenient to visit Kobe or Howard's house in the future, without taking a taxi.

Considering that Lin Tian lives in Los Angeles, the sponsor decided to send him the car in person after he returned to Los Angeles. Lin Tian naturally had no objection to this.

In the afternoon, Lin Tian flew back to Los Angeles from Toronto.

Next he has three days of rest time, the most recent game has been to February 2, that day they will be at home against the Washington Wizards.

Although it was a holiday, Lin Tian did not miss the training.

The car given to him by the sponsor was also delivered to Lin Tian's apartment downstairs the day after the All-Star break.

It took a day for Lin Tian to complete all the procedures for the two cars.

The day before the game is a training session organized by the team, and all players are present.

Howard, Nick Young and others also saw Lin Tian for the first time since Lin Tian won the All-Star MVP.

As soon as Nick Young met, he said: "Lin! Is your MVP trophy? Why don't you bring it to the training hall and let us touch it!"

The All-Star can be said to be the honor that every ordinary player dreams of, let alone the All-Star MVP.

Lin Tian said: "I want to take it too, but I'm afraid it will be stolen by you guys."

His words immediately caused a roar of laughter, and everyone knew that Lin Tian was joking.

Howard stood up: "This is why I didn't bring my three dpoy trophies to the arena."

A few people were chatting, and Kobe suddenly clapped his hands: "Okay! Girls! Now is not the time to chat, hurry up and train! We are still far away from our goals for this season!"

Kobe's words made everyone feel at ease, and everyone hurriedly put their minds back to training.

After doing basic physical training, Lin Tian began to practice three-pointers with pull-ups and three-pointers with step-back steps.

Nick Young and Kobe practiced spot-on three-pointers, and even Howard made three-pointers from time to time.

Howard is a person who likes to work hard. When the game entered garbage time last time, he also made a three-pointer.

In his heart, it seems that there is still a three-point shooter...

However, Kobe still suggested that Howard practice more free throws, because his free throws are really horrible.

In fact, free throws have always been a problem for most centers.

When the players were training, the team's team reporter also took a picture of them, which was probably used to post on the official account of the Lakers.

It wasn't until after four o'clock in the afternoon that the players were exhausted from training, and today's training was considered to be over.

But the end of training is often not the end of the day, and Kobe has to stay in the physical therapy room for at least two hours.

Although Lin Tian is young, he also pays great attention to physical therapy for the body, which is more or less influenced by Kobe.

During the day the next day, all the players of the Lakers trained normally, and at night, their game against the Wizards would begin.

When the players headed by Lin Tian and Kobe played, the home fans applauded one after another.

At the same time, under the leadership of the live DJ, the neat "MVP" voices also shouted out.

This is obviously because Lin Tian won the All-Star MVP a few days ago!

Of course, there are also some fans who shouted for Kobe's MVP.

The atmosphere that the Lakers home fans can create has always been one of the best in the entire league.

More than an hour later, the game between the Lakers and the Wizards began.

The starting lineup for the Lakers is: Clarkson, Kobe, Lin Tian, ​​Tucker and Howard.

Wizards starters: John Wall, Bradley Beal, Otto Porter, Jared Dudley, Marcin Gortat.

As the head star of the Wizards, Wall was the No. 2010 pick in [-]. He has been selected as an NBA All-Star three times, and this season he is an All-Star substitute.

When playing the All-Star Game in Toronto a few days ago, Lin Tian even faced him directly and gave him a hot pot.

Wall is arguably one of the fastest point guards in the league right now. When he is focused, he is also very strong defensively. He was selected to the All-Defensive Team last season.

In addition to Wall, Bradley Beal of the Wizards is also rising rapidly.

Although Bill has not even secured his starting position this season, his scoring ability has been fully recognized by the head coach.

The backcourt combination of Wall and Bill poses no small threat to any team.

However, the Wizards' record this season is only better than the Lakers. They are temporarily ranked tenth in the Eastern Conference and are still hitting the playoffs.

In the jump ball stage, the Lakers won the offensive ball in the first round.

The Wizards defended Lin Tian today was Otto Porter.

Although this player is not well-known, he was the 2013 No. [-] show.

Due to the impact of injuries in the first two seasons, this person did not perform as expected. It was not until this season that he played slowly, averaging more than 10 points per game.

Lin Tian had studied him, but when he was facing each other with his own eyes, he realized that the opponent was really too thin!
With a height of 2.03 meters, he is only 90 kilograms!This is 100kg thinner than the 10kg Lin Tian!

So that Lin Tian could have chosen to change direction, but facing Otto Porter, he directly chose to sit back and sit inside.

Although Lin Tian's weight is 200 jins, he is all muscle anyway, which can be said to be a slow talent!Little Potter is downright skinny!
His thin body couldn't withstand Lin Tian's impact at all!

As soon as the bodies of the two confronted each other, Porter was almost thrown away.

Sitting inside easily, Lin Tian made another standard turnaround jumper and hit the first ball.

Gortat of the Wizards sent the ball to Wall.

After the 1-meter-long Wall held the ball for halftime, he suddenly changed direction and got rid of Clarkson who was defending him, then rushed into the inside line, used a chic European step to avoid Tucker's supplementary defense, and returned a two-pointer to the Lakers.

Wall's breakthrough has always been terrible, and his first step start speed can even be compared with Westbrook.

It is obviously unrealistic for Clarkson to guard Wall.

When Lin Tian took the ball again, he gave it to Howard who asked for the ball inside.

Gortat of the Wizards is also a traditional center. He fought with Howard in the interior and was eventually fouled by Howard.

Howard stepped to the free throw line and made 2 of 1 free throws, which is in line with his free throw percentage.

The Wizards still had the ball in Wall's hands. Facing Clarkson's defense again, Wall pretended to break through and then gave the ball to Bill.

Bill was not relentless. Facing Kobe's extreme defense, he raised his hand and scored a three-pointer, and he scored!
As the most reliable three-point shooter for the Wizards, Bill has made 40% of his three-pointers this season!

You know, his two-point shooting percentage is only 43%.

The Wizards overtook the score, and when Wall and Bill returned to defense, they clapped and celebrated.
