Chapter 89 All-Star Game
"This is definitely the most impressive picture in this All-Star Game!"

"The last time Westbrook assisted Durant was in the game on May 2016, 5. Westbrook assisted Durant to complete a dunk!"

"It's been 266 days! After 266 days, we finally witnessed Dewey's connection again!"

There was a barrage in the live broadcast room, and Thunder fans who were looking forward to this moment also emerged.

【Brothers in tears】

[I started to like Thunder in 09, and now the Thunder's third young master has become the Thunder's first young master.]

[As a Thunder fan, I hate Durant! 】

[I don't know where the human face is going, but the peach blossoms are still smiling at the spring breeze! 】

On the court, when returning to defense, Durant approached Westbrook embarrassingly. Westbrook still had a cold face, but stretched out a hand.

Two high fives!

Durant smiled shyly.

Compared to the expectations of the fans, compared to the abuse from the outside world, what Durant cares most about is actually Westbrook's attitude.

Zheng Long watched this moment on the court with great interest.

As a later person, I know.

After the two brothers separated, they were actually not bad.

Westbrook led the team alone and played historical data, and Durant also won two championships with the Warriors.

The game is still going on, with Dewey connecting in the west, James and Ou connecting in the east, Irving holds the ball at the top of the arc, James picks and rolls and rolls down, the ball falls from the sky, James dunks with both hands, and makes an alley-oop!

West Team 57:56 East Team!
Seeing that the score was about to be overtaken again, Zheng Long came to the front court and asked for the ball. He held the ball at a 45-degree angle to face DeRozan.

Facing the frame, breaking through, backing up, pushing out of the space, turning around and leaning back two points and shooting directly!

Chic and freehand!

Hit it!

West Team 59:56 East Team!
"Zheng Long's sign is coming back!"

"Currently, Zheng Long made two of two shots. The first half was almost over, so he only took two shots."

"Play more, Zheng Long! Fans like to watch, love to watch!"

Because DeRozan has not played against Zheng Long directly, the highlights of Zheng Long's offense that he saw before are all in the video.

Today, I was defending against Zheng Long, only to realize how stable Zheng Long's back control is and how difficult it is to defend against a fadeaway jumper.

Only those who practice reclining will know how outrageous Zheng Long's reclining is!
All movements and details are perfect!

If this is encountered in a game, one-on-one, DeRozan feels that he has no chance to defend at all!
Fortunately, Zheng Long is in the West, so he won't have to meet him in the playoffs for the time being.

Now DeRozan can somewhat understand why the Raptors lost more than 20 points last time they played against the Lakers.
After scoring the goal, Zheng Long returned to the defense in a low-key manner.

That's what I set for myself today.

Don't shoot until the critical moment!

"Counterattack from the Eastern team, Irving hit the ground and passed the ball to Embiid who went to the basket, and Embiid took the ball and dunked easily!"

"Davis hit James in the low post, turned and shot!"

"Hey! Alphabet made a three-pointer, there it is! This feeling is suddenly fully opened!"

"Westbrook chased and responded with a three-pointer! This arc is really low, and Westbrook really pulled it in!"

"Today's game is interesting! Both sides have begun to increase their strength in defense, and the previous scene of rushing and no one to guard is gone."

"You have to keep playing like this, and the score is so tight."

"The fourth quarter is really good!"

In the last 3 minutes of the second quarter, the two sides went back and forth. In fact, both sides have gradually become serious in defense, but both sides feel good if they can't stand it!

At the last moment, the whistle sounded, and Curry, who received the ball in the backcourt, decisively shot a super long three-pointer that spanned the audience!

This ball!
It went in!

Cheers!

After scoring the goal, Curry excitedly collided with Green in the air.

The Western team also relied on this three-pointer to complete the overtake again, 68 to 67.

"Curry just shoots like this, and there are still!"

"This touch is really amazing. Thanks to the All-Star Game, if you shoot defense like this in the regular season."

"Defensive players go crazy!"

A point difference ended the first half of the game.

During the intermission, Zheng Long returned to the locker room with Butler and Jokic. Since the head coach is Walton, Zheng Long even had a feeling that he was still playing for the Lakers.

In the first half, Butler and Jokic didn't have much playing time as substitutes, especially Jokic, who only played for a few minutes and probably touched the ball.

However, it can be seen from the expression that Jokic is still very excited to participate in the All-Star Game for the first time today.

Compared with Jokic, Butler seems to be fishing more.

For Butler, it's not interesting to participate in this kind of competition where performance is more important than competition. He just wants to finish the game quickly and get off work.

During the intermission, no one in the locker room was discussing the game. Everyone was chatting or playing with their phones with their heads down.

The third quarter of the game seemed a bit lacklustre.

Although the defense in the All-Star Game does not need to be too hard, the offensive rounds are converted quickly and the number of rounds is more. The short 15-minute intermission is really not enough for the stars to recover.

So the players on both sides wanted to save trouble.

After getting the rebound in the backcourt, throw the ball directly to the teammate who moved to the frontcourt and it's over.

All kinds of long passes back and forth, throwing the ball alley-oops, and ultra-long three-pointers.

However, at more than 6 minutes into the third quarter, an interesting scene appeared. The West failed to make a fast break, and Antetokounmpo grabbed a rebound and advanced to counterattack.

At this time, there is only Curry in the Western Conference frontcourt.

then.

Facing Antetokounmpo, Curry directly chose to give up defense, and directly chose to lie on the ground and hug his head in the paint area.

I surrender!
Antetokounmpo cooperated very well with Curry's dunk with a big windmill in the air!

Bang!
When Curry saw that Antetokounmpo finished dunking, he also grinned and climbed up, and quickly returned to defense.

This funny picture made everyone laugh.

"Hahaha, Curry chose to give up in the face of the Greek monster."

"You have the ability to come to the basket! Don't come to me!"

"The All-Star game needs a player like Curry, who is either interesting or strong, neither of which, so what do fans see?"

The commentary spoke out the aspirations of the fans. There was still a bit of confrontation in the first and second quarters, and the third quarter was about to vomit.

[The All-Star Game is getting more and more boring the more you watch it! 】

[I don’t even bother to be lucky, I throw it after running two steps and lose it, it’s bad! 】

[Let's have a reward or punishment mechanism, it's really boring. 】

[I miss the old All-Star game, the real guns are real and we are going to do it! 】

The game didn't look the same until the remaining 6 minutes of the fourth quarter. The West team was 132 to the East team's 122, and the East team was still behind.

In the attacking round of the western team, Zheng Long chose to shoot for the third time in this game, taking a three-pointer step back!
hit!

The West Team 135 to the East Team 122!
Thirteen points difference!
After scoring the goal, Zheng Long shouted at James and others: "It seems that you are going to surrender today? Now I am going to start working hard and accept the game!"

Zheng Longdi's arrogance is well known throughout the NBA.

But Zheng Long was so low-key in this game before, that the players in the Eastern team almost forgot about Zheng Long's existence.

Originally, the two sides have been playing "very harmoniously" since the opening, but now Zheng Long took the initiative to provoke.

They're all All-Stars, why should I listen to your trash talk?

The Eastern team star can't bear it!
In the next offensive round, the East players really became serious. After Irving advanced to the frontcourt with the ball, he didn't choose to shoot wildly, but started organizing at the top of the arc!

James once again took the initiative to help Irving pick and roll. This time Irving chose to dribble and break through. Originally defending Leonard, he quickly switched to Irving, making it difficult for Irving to move.

Irving chose to drop the ball to James who went down.

But Zheng Long broke out from the air, volleyed off the ball, and advanced to the frontcourt with the ball, leaving DeRozan far away.

Take off from the free throw line, and successfully dunk with one arm hanging on the frame!

Bang! ! !
The West Team 137 to the East Team 122!
"Dunk from the free throw line!!!"

"Zheng Long finally woke up!"

"Scored 4 points in a row, plus a steal! The audience is currently four-for-four and eight-pointers."

"This is ready to start grabbing the All-Star MVP haha."

Zheng Long, who dunked successfully, also made himself completely excited.

It was pretty bad for almost the whole game.

Time to get serious and play!

The faces of the players from the Eastern team were a bit unsightly. Everyone was playing casually, and suddenly a serious guy appeared.

Then this person's seriousness seems a bit "disgusting".

James considers himself the "big brother" among the All-Star players in this session. Among the All-Star players in this session, there is no player who entered the league earlier than him.

and so.

James took the initiative to find Zheng Long.

Definitely give him a lesson.

"Hey boy, I know you're excited to be at your first All-Star Game, but you're seriously taking it a little too far.

Zheng Long pointed to a spot in the auditorium not far away, and said, "Really? Look there, all the audience have been put to sleep by you."

James looked over, feeling a little embarrassed.

And Zheng Long stopped talking to James, and started a defensive run, and directly gave Embiid, who was about to shoot a three-pointer, a big cap from behind, and sent the ball out of the baseline.

Embiid turned his head in a daze, and saw that it was Zheng Long.

"Hey brother, save some face!"

Zheng Long ignored him.

The atmosphere on the court began to become subtle.

Embiid came to the bottom line with a dark face, ready to serve, the players of the Eastern team actively moved, while the players of the Western team followed closely one-on-one.

Especially Zheng Long, who completely locked DeRozan, without any room to catch the ball at all.

Embiid sent the ball to James, James gritted his teeth, broke through against Leonard, made an emergency stop and stepped back to shoot a jumper!
Got it!

The West Team 137 to the East Team 124!
After scoring the goal, James passed by Zheng Long and said, "Boy, since you want to play seriously, then I will accompany you!"

James, who returned to the backcourt, also shouted.

"Everyone cheer up!"

"It's time to launch a Jedi counterattack!"

"Don't give them any chance to score easily!"

Although Zheng Long doesn't give James face, James' appeal among Eastern stars is still very high, especially like Embiid, who grew up watching James play before entering the league.

Embiid took the lead in responding to James: "Hello!"

In the offensive round of the Western team, facing the sudden enthusiasm of the Eastern team, the players except Zheng Long were a little bit deceived.

Curry originally planned to make a super long three-pointer two meters from the three-point line, but found that he had the ball after half court, and Wenzi ran over to press down.

And kept reaching out to harass.

Originally, Curry had a problem with Wenzi—after all, he was the man who would have killed his own champion. Every time Qi Yong played against each other, there was a lot of friction between the two.

Seeing that Wenzi is doing this, he can't let himself be happy, and Curry is also excited, don't let me shoot three-pointers, then I will attack you!
Because Curry's three-pointers are too dazzling, three-pointers seem to be Curry's only label.

But Curry's dribbling breakthrough is also top-notch in the league.

Compared with Wall's fastness, Westbrook's fierceness, Irving's silky smoothness, Curry's dribbling breakthrough is smart.

Because the three-point threat is so great, every time Curry makes a fake shot outside the three-point line, it can attract the attention of the opponent, and Curry also uses the breakthrough after worshiping Buddha to the extreme. Complete the breakthrough.

But today, facing his old acquaintance Irving, Curry's prayer didn't work. Irving always let his center of gravity follow Curry's dribbling rhythm.

Seeing that Curry was blocked, Zheng Long took the initiative to run over to cover Curry. With the cover, Curry opened up the space and chose to drive the ball to the basket!
Toss the ball!

This ball!
Snapped!
Slapped down by James!
Cheers!

James, who covered Curry, did not choose to look at Curry, but looked at Zheng Long, and made a vicious gesture.

Here is the response!

Zheng Long said with a smile: "What does Gai Curry have to do with me? Wait until you beat me in this game! Do you still remember the big hot pot that defended you last time?"

James' expression froze on his face.

gas!
Really angry!

The city gate caught fire, which affected Chiyu. Curry, who was capped, took the initiative to come to the sideline, picked up the ball, and quickly served it to Zheng Long to start running without the ball.

Zheng Long, on the other hand, made an emergency stop in the middle distance after breaking through, jumped up and passed the ball with both hands, and passed it to Curry who was hiding behind the screen. After receiving the ball, Curry directly shot a super long three-pointer!

in!

The West Team 140 to the East Team 124!
Zheng Long, who saw Curry's goal, sighed silently in his heart, is this how Green feels?
Take two steps, pass to Curry, and wait for him to throw the ball in the hoop from thirty feet away!
It feels so cool!
With a 5-point difference, the countdown to the game was 30 minutes and [-] seconds, and the Eastern team urgently needed a goal to stop the bleeding.

At this moment, the stars in the East panicked.

Won't be beaten, right?

At this critical time, the East team chose to send out the "big killer" Antetokounmpo, and the whole team took the initiative to give the ball to Antetokounmpo, and let Antetokounmpo go inside to cause damage!
In the regular season, there are still centers guarding the basket to block Antetokounmpo, but this is the All-Star Game, the highest in the Western Conference, that is, Durant and Davis are 2 meters.

At this height, it still requires defensive skills to limit the "Greek monster".

But because Davis wanted to win the MVP too much in this game, his physical strength was too much in the first three quarters, and he was already a little wilted at this time.

Durant, who is against Antetokounmpo, has thin arms and legs, and when Antetokounmpo rushes up, he can't be restricted at all.

"Brother Antetokounmpo rushed up, buckled!"

"Brother Antetokounmpo is charging again! Another buckle!"

"It's Brother Antetokounmpo again! At the critical moment, he resisted the pressure!"

Four minutes later, Antetokounmpo continued to use impact to score and scored 4 points.

On the defensive end, the players in the East are also working hard, not giving the Western players a chance to make an easy shot.

In the remaining time of the game, at 1 minute and 30 seconds, the Western team was 148 to 139 Eastern, and fell behind by 9 points.

"Now the two sides have played the whole game, and they are all striving for the final victory."

"Zheng Long scored a total of 4 points in the first three quarters, and he scored 8 points in a single quarter in the fourth quarter! He made four of four shots and made every shot!"

"Hey! The western team is serving, and the eastern team is going to the frontcourt to force the serve!"

On the court, Antetokounmpo successfully destroyed Davis' serve, the ball flew out, James took off, took it off, took a step inside the free throw line, and jumped directly to dunk!

Bang! ! !
The West Team 148 to the East Team 141!
After scoring the goal, James hammered his chest and roared!

Seven points difference!

Beep beep, Wharton call paused!
"Since James won the All-Star Game MVP in 08, I haven't seen James so serious in the All-Star Game for so many years!"

"Interesting and interesting!"

"James kicked out the West's timeout!"

"At this point, it all depends on the performance of the stars."

"If the stadium is full of stars."

"That's a fight between immortals, each according to his own ability!"

The fans at the scene were also completely attracted by this All-Star exhibition game at this moment, and they all stood up.

Pause back soon.

Stevens made substitution adjustments, replacing Embiid and replacing the more stable Paul Millsap.

The Western team succeeded in serving, but the Eastern team pressed hard. Curry advanced with the ball. Irving defended very well. Curry accurately passed the ball to Durant who cut inside and entered the basket.

Durant took off and shot!
Get a big hat from Millsap!
The rebound was protected by James, and the Eastern team quickly counterattacked!
"God!"

"Mishin, who was just replaced, made a contribution immediately!"

"Blocked Durant's must-go goal!"

"Durant's expression is very annoyed!"

"Eastern team's fast attack."

"A 45-degree three-point shot from Irving!"

"Enter!!!"

"Owen is amazing!"

"It's facing Curry again, it's this position again, and it's a key three-pointer!"

"1 minute, four points away!"

At the last moment, the gods fought. On the western side, Zheng Long made a two-point shot after receiving the ball, and the difference was six points. As a result, the old man James hesitated for a three-pointer while walking, and he really let him score!

The point difference has narrowed to three points!

The time on the scoreboard has entered the countdown, and Curry, who was holding the ball, did not choose to press the time.

It's okay to press the time in the real game, but it seems a bit unreasonable to take the lead in the All-Star Game and still press the time.

The West do want to win, but they have to win beautifully!
"The Western team's attack this time is crucial! We must score to secure today's victory!"

"Let's see if Curry will choose to shoot himself or give it to someone!"

"Curry made a move!"

".wrong!"

"It's a pass!"

"Curry passed the ball to Zheng Long near the baseline!"

"This ball!!!"

Zheng Long, who received the pass at the basket, was immediately surrounded by Embiid and Antetokounmpo!

Greek monsters and Cameroon the Great, with two pairs of long arms and four big hands, covering the sky and the sun.

But Zheng Long was not afraid at all.

Step back and jump!
The two rushed over!

But Zheng Long adjusted his shot point in the air!

The whole person is about to fall down from the angle in the air!
Shot while dodging the block!

The basketball flew through the gap between the two hands!
Hollow into the network!

In! ! !

After the shot, Zheng Long fell backwards and fell to the ground, but the cheers of the audience instantly ignited the New Orleans Arena!

Eastern team players are desperate!

"Zheng Long used his incomprehensible and unreasonable mid-range shots to completely kill the suspense of the 2017 All-Star East-West matchup!"

“最后6分钟，郑龙独得12分3助攻2盖帽1抢断！”

"If you don't make a song, you're done, it's a blockbuster!"
