Chapter 205 Dunk! --Huh?

After a series of events, the much-anticipated All-Star Game began.

West starting lineup: Steve Nash, Chauncey Billups, Carmelo Anthony, Tim Duncan, Amar'e Stoudemire.

Eastern starting lineup is: Gatsby, Dwyane - Wade, LeBron - James, Kevin - Garnett, Dwight - Howard.

Howard and Stoudemire jumped the ball in the middle circle. Howard got the ball first for the Eastern Conference. Howard dialed the ball down. James got the ball, but he did not dribble. Instead, he gave the ball to Gatsby. He originally planned to fulfill Wei's wish. Germany became the All-Star MVP, but because Gatsby was present, he did not want to control the ball too much. Gatsby, the point guard, was still in charge because he was not sure where he wanted to go yet. He wanted to compete with Gatsby. than cooperation.

Gatsby dribbled the ball quickly across the half court, Wade and James crossed the wings, Howard ambushed the bottom line, and Garnett went to the high pick-and-roll.

Garnett blocked Nash, Gatsby quickly got rid of it, Garnett took Stoudemire by the way, Nash was blocked by Gatsby, Duncan could only go forward to help Gatsby, Gatsby threw the ball into the air Turn around and leave as soon as you throw it away.

There was a loud bang from behind, and Gatsby didn't even need to look to know that it was Howard who violently smashed the ball into the basket.

The Eastern team came up with a shocking sky-catching goal!
The fans cheered loudly with excitement, and Howard smiled like a child.

Nash quickly dribbled the ball across the half court and gave the ball to Duncan's high post. Anthony received the ball from the right wing in a low post. Facing James' defense, Anthony turned over and hit a jumper.

Gatsby catches the ball and runs wildly. Wade and James play at an amazing speed. Gatsby throws the ball at the top of the three-point arc.
James pointed at Gatsby, indicating that the pass was a good pass. It was indeed a very beautiful alley-oop. Nash blocked Gatsby's front. If it wasn't for Gatsby, who is daring from Yigao, it would be difficult to pass the pass. The key is that James feels that the timing, height and strength of the ball are well grasped. As long as he flies into the air, the ball will automatically reach his hands. Go, I just need to dunk it into the basket hard!
This kid's vision and passing are really good!James thought when he returned to the defense, and the desire to cooperate with Gatsby became more and more intense.

Nash dribbled the ball through the half court, using Duncan to rush to the basket, facing Garnett's supplementary defense, Nash passed the ball behind the back to Stoudemire who was in an air cut, and Stoudemire jumped high, like Thor coming into the world, throwing the ball He dunked hard into the basket. In terms of explosive power, Stoudemire is worthy of anyone.

The two sides dunked three times in two rounds, and the audience was hooked. Although this year's All-Stars still used dunks to attack, the level of splendor was not inferior to previous years, but it was obvious that the enthusiasm for defense had increased a lot. The audience also watched be more happy.

The head coaches of the East and West have been notified by the league that this year's All-Stars will increase their intensity, and the stars of the East and West have also been informed by the coaches, so this is also the difference of this year's All-Stars.

Wade dribbled the ball past half court, and Gatsby switched to shooting guard. He found Howard on the baseline as a screen and went around the corner. Originally, he just wanted to help his teammates open up space. As a rookie, he couldn't control too much. After two assists, he handed the ball to Wade, but after he passed the ball to the bottom corner, James passed the ball over. Although Gatsby had doubts, he didn't know how to take the ball. Hesitantly, he just pulled it up, hit a three-pointer, and scored his first point in the All-Star Game!
3 points and 2 assists!

Gatsby returned to defense, and James came over to give Gatsby a high-five with a warm smile on his face.

Chauncey Billups dribbled the ball across half court, broke through to attract a double attack and then gave the ball to Nash. Nash also hit a three-pointer. The two sides were 7:7. In the first three rounds, both sides shot [-]%!

The East attacked, Wade missed a throw after a breakthrough, the West counterattacked, Nash broke into the basket, and Chauncey Billups hit a three-pointer with the ball from the bottom corner!
7: 10!

Gatsby dribbled the ball to improve his tempo, rushed to the basket and passed back to Wade in an air cut. Wade soared into the air, and Stoudemire quickly avoided to avoid being dunked. Gatsby's third assist.

Duncan served, Nash dribbled the ball halfway, Duncan went down to catch the ball, facing Howard's defense, Duncan carried it twice, turned around and hit the board successfully.

9: 12!

James dribbled the ball and ran wildly. Wade and Gatsby quickly got down from the third line. Wade cut the ball and gave the ball to Gatsby who had not yet stabilized outside the three-point line. Gatsby directly made a long three-pointer. Before he took the shot and even entered the basket, the audience started cheering and he hit a three-pointer!

12: 12!

Gatsby's second three-pointer.

Wade also looked surprised. He knew that Gatsby's three-pointer was accurate, after all, they had played against each other before, but it was still impressive to be so accurate from the beginning.

Chauncey Billups dribbled the ball past half court. Wade engaged in physical confrontation. Gatsby followed Nash and prevented Nash from catching the ball. The others also increased their intensity. The West suddenly felt nervous. Billups Si is also a physically strong defender. Wade's pressing is difficult to succeed, but pressing is not about grabbing, but about forcing. Billups does not have a better passing vision. Nash rushes out to receive the ball, but Billups does not. After much thought, he passed the ball. Gatsby rushed out and intercepted the ball.

The steal happened at the top of the arc. Gatsby reached the logo as soon as he made the steal. Nash had no intention of chasing him anymore and just jogged over to prepare to catch the ball. Gatsby took a look and slowed down.

The hearts of the fans hung up-wondering whether Gatsby would give his first dunk in the NBA, or whether Gatsby could dunk, because Gatsby had never dunked blue.

Gatsby smiled, stepped inside the three-point line and suddenly accelerated, his right foot landed heavily, he wanted to dunk!

"laugh!"

"Hahahahaha!" The fans burst into laughter, because when Gatsby's right foot landed, the floor was probably a little sweaty or something, anyway, it was a little slippery, Gatsby slipped and fell, and the ball rolled out of bounds.

Gatsby got up in embarrassment. Sure enough, the incident was nothing more than three points. Yesterday's three-point contest was enough to pretend, but today he tried to pretend again but ended in failure.

Curry laughed out loud off the court. Later generations of Curry were called Golden State LaVine. Golden State LaVine didn’t praise him for his amazing dunks, but laughed at him for only barely dunking and still had a heart for dunking. Curry’s future generations There are also similar scenes of wanting to dunk but being rejected by the basket or sliding like Gatsby, even in the second round meeting with the Rockets in the 2018-19 season. Instead of choosing a layup, he chose to dunk, but he still didn't dunk, causing the Warriors to lose the third game.

Gatsby looked speechlessly at Curry, who was leaning forward and back with a smile—others can laugh at me, but you can't, Golden State LaVine!
