Chapter 88 All-Star Game
"Goose Factory Sports is live for you!"

"The appearance ceremony is over, the starting players from the East and the West have settled down on the court, and the 2016-17 All-Star East-West exhibition match officially begins!"

"Western starters: Curry, Zheng Long, Durant, Davis, Leonard."

"Eastern starters: Irving, DeRozan, James, Antetokounmpo, Embiid."

"It is worth mentioning that the original Eastern Conference starter Kevin Love withdrew from the All-Star Game due to injury, which is also a great pity, and Embiid, who was originally on the bench, moved to the starting position."

"One Zheng Long and one Embiid, both of them came from the 14 draft. This season is also the first rookie season of their careers. They are also selected as NBA starters. It's amazing!"

"The jump ball session has begun"

Thick eyebrows easily crushed Embiid, dialed the basketball from his hands, and Curry received the pass to promote the West's first round of offense.

All members of the Eastern Army returned to defense quickly.

Zheng Long came to the bottom corner silently, today's match against himself was Azan.

Azan's expression today is full of sadness as always.

Although the Lakers played against the Raptors this season, Azan did not play in that game, so today can be regarded as the first match between the two.

Before Zheng Long turned out this season, DeRozan enjoyed the title of "CIC Pretty Boy" in the league. This nickname fully reflects DeRozan's style of play-not only few three-pointers, but also bad.

Of course, he also has a more resounding nickname "King of the North".

Since being selected by the Raptors at the ninth place in the first round in 2009, DeRozan has continued to improve and has gradually become the star of the Raptors.

The teammates are running without the ball, and Zheng Long is talking to DeRozan.

"Azan, be happy, today's All-Star Game."

DeRozan just gave Zheng Long a cold look and didn't speak.

Zheng Long was silent.

Because I know that Azan has depression, it is indeed too miserable, and the psychological shadow left by the loss of his father at a young age is great.

It seems that Azan is not in a good state recently?

In the previous All-Star Games, there were basically no complicated tactical moves between players, and it was basically simple pick-and-roll and one-on-one marking.

The same is true for today's opening.

For the first offense in the West, Curry obviously felt the thick eyebrow's desire for today's MVP in the locker room, took the initiative to pass the ball to the thick eyebrow, and then took the initiative to help the thick eyebrow pick and roll.

That's right, the little Curry took the initiative to block Embiid at the top of the arc.

If it were a normal time, facing this kind of death-seeking little man, Embiid would of course push away mercilessly.

Show him some color!

But this is the All-Star game, and Embiid doesn't want to be serious, but seems petty.

Even if he was selected as an All-Star for the first time, Embiid had already learned "sophistication" from previous All-Star Game videos.

Embiid was "blocked" by the library center, Davis took the ball to the inside, Irving and Embiid quickly completed the defense, facing Irving, Davis showed no mercy, back to back in the middle and long distance After the distance, a small step back directly increases the shot by two points!
in!

West team 2:0 East team.

"Hey! Davis scored the first goal for the Western team with an extremely difficult long two-pointer. With such a soft touch and dribbling, it is hard to imagine that this is a big man with a height of nearly 2 meters 1. of!"

The Eastern team attacked, James held the ball and advanced to the top of the arc, threw the ball to Irving, silently stepped aside, and handed the stage to the younger brother.

Irving has always liked this kind of "big scene" game the most. The more people who pay attention, the more his fighting spirit can be aroused. Weiss.

Facing Davis, Irving started his dribbling performance, but Davis is not a traditional big man, he is not clumsy, on the contrary, his agility is top-notch among players in the entire NBA.

Davis used his height and wingspan to defend Irving in a package, not giving him a chance to break through.

Owen simply took a step back and made a three-pointer!

This ball!
Snapped!
Got caught!
When Owen was about to make a shot, Zheng Long predicted that the ball might be a risk, and he was already ready to go, and the flying ball was naturally taken by Zheng Long.

Zheng Long single-handed fast break with the ball, the frontcourt was empty.

The audience is already cheering!
This is the new dunk king!
"One off! One off! One off!"

greatly awaited!

Zheng Long took off from the free throw line with one step, spun 360 degrees in the air, and dunked with the ball in both hands!

Bang! ! !
West Team 4-0 East Team!
"Oh my god! Beautiful dunk! Zheng Long played the All-Star Game as a slam dunk contest! This dunk move is definitely a masterpiece of 50 points in the dunk contest!"

Cheers!

The Eastern Conference players returned to serve, embarrassed or frowning.

All stars here, no one wants to be robbed of the limelight by Zheng Long alone.

One must be returned!
After the Eastern team dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, they deliberately created space for James to open up. In terms of dunks, in the hearts of these starting players, James is undoubtedly!
Although James has never won the NBA Slam Dunk Contest, in the year he entered the league, James defeated Shannon Brown in the 2003 McDonald's National Slam Dunk Contest to win the championship.

However, James did not choose to break through after receiving the ball from the wing, but passed the ball to Antetokounmpo.

"Giannis, buckle one!"

Antetokounmpo was flattered. This season was his first All-Star selection. Although he was selected as a starter, he kept a low profile and humility when getting along with superstars like James who became famous earlier in the league.

Now that James takes the initiative to give the ball to himself, Antetokounmpo feels that he must perform.

"Brother Antetokounmpo rushed up! Against Durant! Score the ball with one arm hanging on the frame!"

"That's exactly what we've seen Antetokounmpo play this season!"

"He's like a Greek monster!"

"This dunk is Antetokounmpo's response on behalf of the Eastern Conference! There is back and forth, this game is interesting!"

The audience obviously thought so too, and they cheered generously. Antetokounmpo ran over to give James a high-five after he dunked.

West team 4-2 East team.

As soon as the game started, a smell of gunpowder began to spread on the court, which is exactly what the audience wanted to see.

for the rest of the time.

The two teams go back and forth, you deduct one, I deduct one, you shoot a three-pointer, and we also send one person to shoot a three-pointer.

When the first half of the game was over, the score of the two sides had come to the West Team 23:21 East Team.

It can be seen from the score that the offensive rhythm of the two sides is fast and the defense is loose.

The head coaches of both sides called a timeout, and they all replaced the substitutes.

East side: Lowry, Thomas Jr., Wall, Paul George, Millsap.

West side: Westbrook, Harden, Butler, Cousins, Jokic.

Go up and play with another person.

Except for the dunk in the opening game, Zheng Long has never made a second shot. Currently, he scored 1 points on 1 of 2 shots.

The highest scorer in the game is Davis, who has taken the most shots. He has already made 7 shots, 4 hits, and scored 12 points.

"It can be seen that Davis is going to win an All-Star MVP at home today."

"His desire to attack is very strong."

"The teammates in the West also gave him face and kept making balls for him."

Compared with the starting performances of the two sides, no one expected that the intensity of the game would be raised between the substitutes of the two sides.

Especially Westbrook and Thomas Jr. are extremely serious, and they are extremely active in defense and off-ball movement.

This emotion naturally infected the surrounding teammates.

When Westbrook went inside with the ball, pulled the bar and scored a layup, and caused a foul by Wall, he roared passionately!
Wall rubbed his hands in embarrassment.

"Is it necessary to be so serious, Russell?"

Westbrook raised his eyebrows, glared at Wall, and said, "We will win you guys hard today!"

Wall was also angry when he heard the words: "Then come and try!"

It's a pity that Westbrook's free throw was not as powerful as his call. The free throw bounced from the basket and Millsap took off the defensive rebound.

Wall wanted to get behind the ball, gritted his teeth, launched a fast break like lightning, and rushed to the frontcourt almost in the blink of an eye.

Even after entering the three-point line, Wall still didn't mean to slow down at all, took off and layup!
Westbrook, who followed closely behind, also took off and tried to give Wall a big hat from behind!
But Wall's speed is not only fast in his legs, but also fast in his hands. The ball got into the basket before it was touched by Westbrook.

And Westbrook collided with Wall.

Beep----

The referee signaled, back foul!
Wall, who fell with Westbrook, raised his arms forcefully and made a move to show his strength.

"You can't even see my tail lights when I charge up! Fuck you, Russell!"

Westbrook snorted coldly.

The audience was ignited again by Wall's goal. After a few minutes of "no confrontation", the two sides suddenly became so intense.

This is enough flavor!
There were spectators in the front row yelling.

"Give him back one, Russell!"

Of course Westbrook wanted to return one. He received the ball from the backcourt with a cold expression, but of course Wall would not give Westbrook an easy chance to score. He took the initiative to come to the center circle to press.

The same point guard in his early 1 meters, also has an explosive style of play. Since Wall entered the league in 9, he has been compared with Westbrook by fans.

Who is stronger, Wall or Westbrook?

This topic was often brought up before this season.

But Westbrook, who broke out completely after Durant left this season, averaged a triple-double per game, and has successfully made himself into the ranks of league superstars.

The voice of Westbrook being stronger than Wall is getting louder and louder, and fans have even stopped comparing Wall and Westbrook.

For this, Wall is very unhappy.

Wall believes that he is the stronger one, with a more rational style of play, more delicate skills, and the ability to turn the entire team around.

As for what Westbrook thinks, he doesn't have Wall at all in his eyes!

Westbrook changed hands in advance, changed his appearance, accelerated with big strides, and rushed directly past Wall!
The two are comparable in the first step.

No one can guard against anyone!

Westbrook, who passed Wall, also rushed inside!

No player in the East attempted a block.

What a joke, Westbrook is already on top, but no one wants to take the risk of injury to make up defense.

All the way unimpeded, Westbrook took off and completed the dunk!

He scored again!
4 points in a row!
After scoring the goal, Westbrook roared at Wall arrogantly.

At this moment, the lead of the Western team also came to double digits, the Western team 38:28 Eastern team.

"Westbrook played really seriously today."

Eastern team coach Stevens called a timeout, and the coaches of both sides replaced the substitute players who had not played yet.

At least in the first quarter of the game, they have to go up and walk. There is still a consensus.

When the first quarter ended, the score between the two sides was 45:34 for the Western team and the Eastern team.

For the 11-point difference, Stevens seemed very dissatisfied.

"It's time to work hard, stars. If you are still behind by ten or twenty points at halftime, this game will not be good."

"Now this place seems to have become their home field."

"Listen to the cheers of the audience, don't you want it to be your own?"

Stevens' style when he coached the Celtics was persuasive and persuasive.

He never relied on the volume of his voice to arouse the fighting spirit of the players.

The Eastern Conference's All-Stars fell silent at Stevens' words.

Because it really makes sense!

Everyone is an All-Star, why should the cheers belong to them? !
On the other side, the players in the West praised Westbrook's momentum.

When Westbrook accepted the compliment, he still had a grumpy look on his face. From the corner of his eye, he glanced at Durant who was sitting on the bench in a daze.

Durant raised his head just in time to meet Westbrook's eyes, and retracted like an electric shock, with a complicated expression.

Zheng Long noticed all this and smiled.

Although Westbrook and Durant did not have a conversation, Westbrook seemed to be saying: Look, Kevin, this family is without you, and there is me!I can grab a batch now!
And Durant's withdrawal also showed that he was not so comfortable about leaving the Thunder.

Durant felt that he was just following the example of James when he left the Cavaliers to join the Heat.

But he joined the warriors who had just defeated them.

The second quarter began, and Walton left Westbrook on the court as the No. 1 position, Zheng Long at the No. 2 position, and Durant at the No. 3 position.

The former second young master of the Thunder plus Zheng Long is the best place to eat melons
"Here we come! The scene I am most looking forward to in this game is Westbrook and Durant playing at the same time!"

It's a pity that the "Dewey Connection" that the fans were looking forward to did not appear in the following time. Neither Durant nor Westbrook took the opponent as their passing choice.

On the court, there seems to be an invisible barrier between the two.

The Eastern side, inspired by Stevens, also launched a counterattack in the second quarter.

"A 45-corner three-pointer from Irving! Familiar position, there it is!"

"DeRozan made a mid-range jumper with a drift jumper!"

"Embiid hooks the basket, evades Davis' block, and makes it!"

"James held the ball to promote a fast break, threw the basketball, Antetokounmpo's lob! Why did Curry go to the basket to defend this ball? I was dunked by Antetokounmpo!"

With 3 minutes and 11 seconds remaining in the second quarter, the Western team tied 54:54 with the Eastern team!
"In the second quarter, it is obvious that the Eastern team is playing more smoothly, and the Western team is playing a bit chaotic now, and they are fighting alone!"

"The western team's attack this time is very critical. If they don't advance again, they may be overtaken by the eastern team."

"Let's see who hits the ball. Or Westbrook with the ball."

On the court, Westbrook held the ball at the top of the arc, faced Irving, broke through and entered the inside line, and was aggressive, but the competitiveness of the Eastern team had already been played, and Embiid went up!

This ball!
Westbrook has already taken off, but Embiid raised his arms high, and he might be blocked for a forced shot!

this moment.

Westbrook has multiple passing options in his vision.

But Durant, with his hands outstretched in the bottom corner on the right, looked particularly eye-catching—and so familiar.

At this moment, subconscious habit defeated all thoughts in his mind, and Westbrook threw the ball to Durant in the bottom corner in the air.

Durant didn't expect that Westbrook would actually pass the ball to himself.

Catch the ball, take a step back, jump up against James who is coming up from the supplementary defense, and make a shot without any difference!
"The Dewey Connection is finally here!"

"This ball."

"Enter!!!"

"It's still the same! Westbrook breaks through, and Durant responds from the outside! That's how it should be played!"

The audience is cheering for this goal!
Today they are not fans of any side, but fans of everyone!

West Team 57:54 East Team!
The director sensibly played back this scene on the big screen, and the media reporters also took pictures of this moment.
