NBA Building Cardinals

Chapter 218 Wang Zhizhi was laid off

At the beginning of the second quarter, after Yao Ming missed a jumper, he stepped forward to grab his own offensive rebound, and then scored a dunk, scoring the first two points in the Western Conference.

After Allen scored a three-pointer for the West on the left wing, Yao Ming continued his efforts and hit a jumper with a turn around.

Helped the West to extend their lead to double digits.

40: 29!

Then O'Neal dunked and helped the Eastern team narrow the gap between the two sides to single digits. After Yao Ming made a second move and caused Hill's foul, he would go to the free throw line.

Yao Ming made two free throws to help the West team with:

45:35
Recapture the double-digit advantage.

The appearance of the mascot eased the tense atmosphere on the field. After the cute mascot left the field, the two sides changed players one after another. Gerald Wallace finally ushered in his first appearance in the game.

After this substitution, the Eastern team quickly narrowed the double-digit gap to 0 points.

Gerald Wallace not only scored his first point of the All-Star Game with a dunk, but also chased the game to:
45:45
Moreover, the Eastern team took advantage of the victory to pursue, scoring 7 points one after another, and achieved a 52:45 lead.

So far, the Eastern Army has completed a 13:3 counterattack climax.

At the end of the second quarter, Kobe made a pass and Duncan dunked with one hand.

Western teams with:

59:61
The two-point disadvantage ended the first half of the game.

After returning from the second half, the scores of the two teams have been very stalemate in the third quarter, which also made the star players on both sides start to play more and more seriously, no longer just a symbolic defense like in the first half.

With the serious start of the two teams, the score on the field at the end of the third quarter came:

95:89
The East Stars led by six points going into the final quarter.

The prelude to the fourth quarter finally kicked off, and the competition on the field became very fierce.

Although Yao Ming missed the first jumper in the final quarter, he continued to work hard and became more courageous as he fought, adding two more points for the West.

However, Yao Ming's efforts were difficult to stop the crazy offensive in the East, and a mid-range shot from Ilskas helped the East extend their lead to

108:97
Under the pressure of the double-digit gap, Yao Ming remained calm and unhurriedly scored a layup, sounding the clarion call for the Western team to counterattack.

Soon after, Stoudemire and his teammates cooperated to perform a wonderful alley-oop dunk performance for the fans.

The curtain fell on the 10-0 counterattack climax of the Western Army.

At this time, the Western team forced the score to
107:110
Only three points behind.

However, the Western Stars failed to counterattack to the end. Under the leadership of O'Neal, the East soon regained a double-digit lead.

The West Stars then missed several shots.

In the end, the Western Conference Stars ended up with:

115:125
Lost to the Eastern Conference All-Stars.

In this game, Iverson played 31 minutes, scored 15 points, 6 rebounds and 10 assists, and successfully won the MVP of this All-Star Game.

Gerald Wallace, who participated in the All-Star Game for the first time, played 16 minutes in this game.

4投2中，三分线外2中1，拿到了5分3篮板2助攻的数据，结束了自己职业生涯的首次全明星之旅。

Waiting for Iverson to finish his acceptance speech, Liu Rui couldn't wait to end and hugged his disciple Wallace.

"Haha, congratulations, congratulations on finally becoming an All-Star player and leaving your mark on the All-Star arena, haha."

After hugging his disciple Wallace, Liu Rui also felt happy for him from the bottom of his heart.

After all, this is also the No.1 All-Star player he cultivated after his rebirth.

"Haha, it's all thanks to you, the coach. You gave me the opportunity to be where I am today. Thank you, coach."

Facing Liu Rui's compliment, Wallace scratched his head in embarrassment, and put all the credit on Liu Rui.

"Haha, you boy, it's alright, two big men don't push back and forth in such a nasty way, today I will be the host, call other players, and celebrate for you, that's the deal, haha."

Today is not only a milestone in Gerald Wallace's personal career, but also one of the career milestones set by Liu Rui for himself.

After being reborn, he can see through history, so Liu Rui also has a plan to collect stars.

Being selected as an All-Star is of course the greatest recognition for a player.

Wallace is obviously the first step in his life.

This made Liu Rui feel happy from the bottom of his heart.

After the last meal, Ivanka also became acquainted with several Bobcats players.

Liu Rui booked a restaurant and set a table for Wallace to celebrate.

Because there are Ivanka and the little girl Limia by her side, Liu Rui didn't drink today either.

After eating, they also took Ivanka and the two to leave first, and let Wallace and the others eat and drink well.

At the front desk, Liu Rui bought the bill for the players, and took a taxi to take them back to their place of residence.

After all, the All-Star Weekend is over, and starting from tomorrow, I will lead the team back to the home court and make plans for the next game.

April 2

Another piece of news broke out in the alliance, but this news did not attract anyone's attention, except of course, Liu Rui.

So far this season, the Heat have felt the pressure.

After the introduction of Shaquille O'Neal, the Heat's ambition is undoubtedly exposed, that is, it is bound to hit the championship.

But the team has played so far, and the Heat have lost the two games against the Pistons, and the reason for losing the game is the same.

Even after Shaquille O'Neal took a break, no one on the Heat's backup center could fill this position well.

This is indeed the case. This year, the Heat lost to the Pistons in the Eastern Conference Finals.

It wasn't until the offseason that he introduced his old acquaintance Mourning on the team that he made it to the finals and won the championship.

It may also be due to the arrival of Liu Rui and the incident at the American Airlines Arena, so the Heat discovered their team's weaknesses a season in advance.

This is the last chance for each team to reinforce.

The Heat actively contacted the few remaining inside players in the market, just to be able to guard the Heat's penalty area after O'Neal left the field.

The difference is that the Heat discovered their shortcomings a year in advance, but the same thing is that the Heat finally chose to give up the Chinese player Wang Zhizhi.

Thereby making room for the team to carry out a new round of reinforcement.

Wang Zhizhi's dismissal did not attract anyone's attention in the league, but it did attract Liu Rui's attention.

Aside from the fact that everyone is Chinese, Liu Rui has always felt sorry for Wang Zhizhi in his previous life.

Although due to physical reasons, even if Wang Zhizhi is given a chance, it will be difficult for him to play as a star.

But if he is only developing in the direction of a high-ranking fortress like Murphy, then at least it is more than enough to find a contract in the NBA...
