Super Evolution of Basketball

Chapter 417 The person who masters the rhythm masters everything!
A few minutes before the end of the third quarter, LeBron James unexpectedly made a super long-range three-pointer.

This ball aroused Westbrook's competitive spirit, and he told Yuan Qingshan that he would pay back with three points.

Yuan Qingshan hesitated. In his opinion, the current players on the court are either being watched too closely, or they are not good at shooting three-pointers, so they need to think long-term.

As a result, Westbrook misunderstood, thinking that Yuan Qingshan was afraid of Wade's defense and did not dare to shoot, so he wanted to take the ball back into his own hands.

Anthony Davis passed the ball to Yuan Qingshan, and Yuan Qingshan handed the ball directly to Westbrook according to the prior agreement.

Wade asked: "That guy Russell is addicted to playing?"

Yuan Qingshan nodded: "Yes, the excitement has come up."

Jimmy Butler's face was very ugly, and he kept cursing in his heart: Why did this turtle hit high?

Westbrook blew to the top of the arc like a gust of wind, and without a word, he made a zombie jumper.

"Don't go in, don't go in, don't go in..." Jimmy Butler, who had no time to make any defensive moves, stared at the basketball, cursing in his heart.

"Come in!" O'Neill exclaimed.

Barkley: "Westbrook really came to feel it. He scored two consecutive goals, an explosive dunk and an emergency stop three-pointer. He is showing off, and he is showing off."

Westbrook raised his arms and ran to the backcourt, how high and how high his lips must be.

When passing by Jimmy Butler, he didn't say a word. Instead, he came to Yuan Qingshan and said, "Look hard, study hard."

Yuan Qingshan smiled: "Okay!"

The next ball of the Eastern Stars was no longer attacked by James, they handed over the ball to Antetokounmpo.

Everyone realized that it was time for this rookie to perform. From the beginning to the present, Antetokounmpo has only scored 8 points, which is not as many as the substitute Yuan Qingshan.

Antetokounmpo is facing a dislocation at this time, with Kawhi Leonard defending him.

Leonard's nickname is Robot, which is enough to show his focus on the game and his meticulous attitude on both offense and defense.

Antetokounmpo's height and wingspan are much stronger than Leonard's, but he is not as strong as the opponent. If he wants to eat Leonard alone, he needs to take advantage of his movement speed or cut without the ball.

In short, holding the ball one-on-one against Leonard is not a good choice.

Stevens was a little worried, but looked at the time and said, forget it, let this kid suffer, or he will never grow up.

Antetokounmpo took the ball at 45 degrees on the left wing. Leonard opened his long arms and big palms, covering Antetokounmpo like a big net covering the sky.

LeBron James lures Kevin Durant to the baseline, as does Wade, and his East All-Star teammates help him spread out the lineup and leave room for him to play.

Antetokounmpo made two tentative steps, Leonard's face remained unchanged, as motionless as a mountain.

Coach Stevens shook his head, it seems that one-on-one is not Antetokounmpo's strong point.

Chris Paul's eyes moved with the ups and downs of the ball, and he said to Klay Thompson beside him, "I'm afraid I'm going to lose the ball."

Before Paul finished speaking, Leonard's body suddenly became shorter, and then Antetokounmpo only felt a blur in front of his eyes, and then a light in his hand.

With a soft snap, the brown Spalding basketball has been stolen by Leonard.

From beginning to end, Antetokounmpo didn't even move.

After Leonard got the ball, he quickly rushed forward. Facing the unguarded basket, he did not choose to dunk, but took off in the penalty area and simply put the ball in.

"He's so fast," Antetokounmpo said to himself.

Wade patted him on the shoulder: "It's not how fast his movements are, but the rhythm. He has mastered your rhythm, so it's easy to find your most neglected moments."

Those who master the rhythm can master everything.

After listening to Wade's words, Antetokounmpo stood there in a daze.

"Don't slip away, Giannis, go defend!" Coach Stevens yelled.

Antetokounmpo reacted, and just about to take a step, the whistle sounded for the end of the third quarter.

Players from the Eastern and Western star teams returned to the bench.

132 to 122, the Western Stars still lead by 10 points. So far, the highest score of the two teams is Anthony Davis' 38 points, and the highest score in the Eastern Conference is LeBron James' 35 points.

The fans found that after the withdrawal of the three-tower plus three-point tactic, the two sides have already stepped up the intensity of the game.

The comments on this year's All-Stars online are very high, and real guns and live ammunition will always be popular.

Adam Silver sat in a special box on the third floor, accompanied by the management of the New Orleans Pelicans.

Adam Silver doesn't like drinking very much, so he picked up a small glass of champagne and said, "Thanks to the Pelicans, the event has been very successful so far. It is said that the ratings have broken last year's record."

Gail Benson, the owner of the Pelicans and the owner of the NFL Saints, raised his glass and gently bumped against Silver: "Mr. Adam, although we are a small ball market, we also have the confidence and determination to contribute to the league. We hope to get the care and help of the league."

Adam Silver question mark face: "What does help refer to?"

Gail Benson said: "The small ball market is not easy to attract superstars to join us. We can only rely on the draft to turn around. However, in recent years, several good seedlings have publicly expressed their unwillingness to come to New Orleans before the draft."

Gail Benson stopped here, watching Adam Silver's reaction.

After he found that Xiao Hua listened very seriously and did not express any disgust, he continued: "So we hope that Mr. Adam can control these children who are about to enter the league, and control their behavior of rejecting the small ball market at will."

Adam Silver nodded, someone suggested this matter to him a long time ago, he felt that from the perspective of fairness and justice, he should indeed do something.

Gail Benson said these words, greeted Xiao Hua and went out.

In the corridor, Gail Benson said to the general manager Demps next to him: "I have finished what you asked me to say. Don't bother me with basketball affairs in the future. I have to go to see the Saints."

Dempsey nodded hurriedly. He knew in his heart that his boss was the most loyal fan of the NFL and basically ignored basketball. If Dempsey hadn't reminded him, Gail Benson probably would have forgotten that he spent a lot of money to buy an NBA team.

There are tens of thousands of pairs of eyes on the court watching the execution of tactics and the performance of the players on the field, and in similar boxes, there are still many pairs of eyes staring at things other than the game.

Such as Dempsey, such as Magic Johnson.

With a whistle, the fourth quarter of the competition between the two sides began.

The head coaches of the two teams came up with the starting lineup at the same time. This is also a customary practice. The first thing to do in the last quarter is to respect the top stars in the vote. As for who will be on the field in the final bayonet stage, it is a matter of opinion.
