Soul of the Golden State

Chapter 859 Potential Rising Star
It's strange that O'Neal can learn this action. With his shooting ability, not to mention shooting three-pointers from the three-point line, even standing on the free throw line, O'Neal can't guarantee that he can make the ball every time.

Therefore, in the following games, O'Neal never tried to imitate Li Weisi again, and the pre-match declarations were all ignored by him at this time.

In fact, at the beginning of the All-Star Game, neither Li Weisi nor Jordan played seriously. After all, this is the All-Star Game, and it also needs to give other stars a chance to show off.

Therefore, after Li Weisi shot the step-back three-pointer, in the next game, he also deliberately reduced his shots and let his teammates attack.

Unfortunately, there are many people who think like Li Weisi.

Among the five starters of the Western Team, Barkley and Olajuwon are also old people who have participated in the All-Star Game for many years. They have no interest in expressing themselves in this kind of game.

What's more, because of the team's injury problems, they really don't have much thought and need to focus on this All-Star Game.

As a result, this led to the fact that among the five starters of the Western Conference, three of them began to fish for three points, and Kidd and Kemp were the only ones who were really willing to show themselves.

Kidd is because this is his first All-Star Game, and he is still a starter, so he is naturally much more excited and willing to actively participate in it.

And Kemp, although this is the fourth All-Star he has participated in and the third time he has appeared as a starter, he is still eager to show himself and hopes to get the AMVP in his hands.

On the other hand, in the East team, except for Pippen, the desire of others to perform is not low. Among them, Jordan may be considered low. Although he didn't play seriously, he still scored.

The two teams played for five and six minutes, the score was 6:17, the Eastern team took the lead, and then the two teams began to change players one after another.

Olajuwon and Barkley were the first to be replaced by the Western team. Not long after, Li Weisi was also replaced, and David Robinson, Sean Elliott and Gary Payton were replaced.

The reason why two Spurs players were replaced was mainly because this was the Spurs' home court, and the reason why Payton was replaced was mainly because the coach of the Western Conference this year was Supersonics head coach George Karl.

In order to take care of Payton's emotions, and to allow Payton and Camp to cooperate for a while, Coach Carl sent his favorite general to the field in advance and replaced Li Weisi.

The two teams played so carelessly in the first quarter and even the entire first half, and the players were more to show themselves than to win the game.

The defense of the two sides was also just a symbolic stretch, and did not defend according to the strength of the regular season. In addition, there were no obvious contradictions between the two teams. Everything seemed so peaceful until the first half At the end, the score was fixed at 61:58, and the Eastern team temporarily led by 3 points.

The entire first half of the All-Star game ended in such a boring rhythm. Although he satisfied some fans to see the performance of the star they supported on the field, but at the same time, it also made another group want to see a higher level fans are disappointed.

For example, at Georgetown University, a group of college alumni watched the first half of the game. A short player stood up and said dissatisfiedly: "What is this fight? It's more fake than WWE! What a waste of me time!"

After speaking, he left his seat and was about to walk out the door.

"Hey, Allen, don't you watch?" Georgetown coach John Thompson shouted to Allen, who was about to leave.

"I don't want to watch it. It's too boring to watch these stars play on the court." Although Allen still looked like the boss and my second child, when he saw the coach, he still replied seriously.

After all, because he was imprisoned back then, he didn't consider himself in college at all. In the end, his mother took the initiative to find Coach Thompson, which moved Coach Thompson and gave Allen a chance.

"Look again. Didn't you say that you want to enter the league and defeat them? Then study them seriously. I think the second half of the game will be much more exciting than the first half."

"Okay!" Allen nodded and agreed, but then he turned around and walked out of the room, and at the same time a word came from outside the room: "I'll go pee first!"

"This guy..." Although coach Thompson shook his head and scolded his lover with a smile, the love in his eyes was hard to hide.

Although this guy seems unreliable, Thompson knows that he is better than anyone else. He threatened to lead the team to win the NCAA before this year, and then directly enter the NBA. , but both teammates and fans trust him very much and don't think he is talking big, because his name is Allen Iverson.

As dissatisfied with the game as Iverson, there was a younger teenager in the living room of a villa in Philadelphia at this time, who also made similar complaints.

"It's so boring, that guy Michael isn't serious at all!"

"Be patient! Whether it's Michael or West, they all have a competitive spirit, especially when facing each other. Don't worry, the second half will eventually return to the hands of the two of them." As a father, Joe Bryant stroked his glasses and preached to his third son.

"That's right, brother, you are just too impatient!" Shalia, the eldest daughter, held her younger sister Shaya's hand and taught her brother a lesson.

"Hmph, who is impatient? My patience is like a black mamba waiting for prey. I can persist until the prey collapses!" As he spoke, he folded his arms and sat back on the sofa.

"Hahaha, you are still a black Mamba, who would compare yourself with a snake!" The second daughter, Sha Ya, also covered her mouth and laughed.

"I'm just a metaphor, a metaphor! Besides, I think the Black Mamba is very good! He is the deadliest snake in the world, just like my performance on the court."

"Okay, you say yes, I hope your fans can accept your nickname, Black Mamba! Hahaha..." For a while, the two sisters laughed again.

"You two, stop mocking your younger brother. I think this nickname is very good. By the way, speaking of this, Kobe, are you really going to enter the NBA draft instead of going to college? You are only 17 years old !” Joe frowned and suggested to his son again.

"Don't worry, Dad, I'm fully prepared, and I can't wait to fight against guys like Michael and West!" Kobe's immature face showed a look of eagerness at this time, and that expression was full of excitement. hope for a better future.
