The strongest basket king

Chapter 56
The slam dunk contest is the most popular in the All-Star Weekend System Challenge, and Xiang Chu also watched it with gusto.

There was an episode in this slam dunk contest. Knicks player Shumpert was unable to participate due to injury. Jeremy Evans, who came off the bench, only practiced for three hours and won the championship.

This incident shows that dunking requires talent. Paul George, who was the loudest and most famous before the game, was full of tricks and still lost.

Of course, Evans dunks two goals at the same time is also very creative.

Xiang Chu also likes dunks very much. If he can practice in the future, should he participate in the dunk contest like Howard? It would be even better if he can violently abuse the basket in the game.

The last day of the All-Star Weekend is the biggest highlight, and Xiang Chu also has two teammates to support.

A group of the strongest players in the league compete together, even if it is not completely real, it is enough to attract attention.

The atmosphere of the arena on the day of the game was countless times more enthusiastic than that of the rookie game.

This session of the All-Star West starters are Chris Paul, Kobe Bryant, Durant, Griffin and Bynum, and the East is Rose, Wade, James, Anthony and Howard.

Whether it is a starter or a substitute, this time there is a fight between the east and the west.

At the beginning of the game, the West took the lead in opening up the situation, but then the East counterattacked under the leadership of James. Almost all players showed wonderful performances, only Bynum was confused.

The buddy was so excited in an interview before the game, "I want to be the MVP, but I don't know how much time I can play."

The dream is beautiful, but the reality is cruel. Kobe played for him several times, but Bynum was blocked by Howard for not a single point. As a result, he only played for 5 minutes before leaving the game. It is said that his knee was uncomfortable. .

Xiang Chu couldn't bear to watch it. Bynum had diarrhea at critical moments. It was always rumored that the Lakers would trade him for Howard. He didn't look like he could be traded for Warcraft.

Except for a few people who don't adapt, most of the stars are extremely handsome in the All-Stars.

Kobe is always a representative of active fighting, he is one in the West, and there are Durant, Griffin, Westbrook and Love.

Griffin was timid in the rookie game, but in the main game he didn't show himself with various dunks, and only Jeremy Lin would believe him. Their Chinese players don't have many opportunities to perform, so they can't do it if they don't hurry up.

In the east, Wade, James, Anthony, Deron, Rose and others all performed well, but the host Howard was robbed of the limelight.

On the one hand, the status is one aspect. The inside players in the All-Star game do not have so many opportunities. They have to do more and better than the outside players to perform the same performance. Howard is obviously a little bit worse.

In the first quarter, the West led by 11 points, and by the end of the halftime, they had already led by 19 points. Xiang Chu was very surprised. Looking at the staffing, this year's All-Stars should not have such a gap.

Although it is entertainment in nature, players at the All-Star level have a strong sense of victory.

In the third quarter, the East began to exert its strength, and there should be communication during the intermission.

Kobe fought hard and was fouled by Wade and broke his nose.

However, Kobe was full of blood and didn't care about the blood spilling on the field at all. He was still very hardworking and singled out James repeatedly.

Now it is said that James is No. 1 in the league, he must be upset.

Whether he is old or not, he will never admit defeat.

The East recovered 7 points in the third quarter, and the game became more intense in the final quarter.

If you want to win, most of the stars want to be the winning side. This is competitive sports. It would be naive to think that they don't care at all.

In the last quarter, the lead in the West expanded to 20 points, but during the rotation period, the East launched a counterattack under the leadership of Deron and Iguodala.

Then James and Anthony scored consecutively on the court. At the last moment, the score gap between the two sides narrowed to 1 point. The atmosphere became tense, and the fans were extremely excited. They like to watch lore moments.

Xiang Chu quickly posted on social media, "West will win!"

Before the end of the game, James had a chance to hit a key goal. Kobe's main defense was still talking trash, but James hesitated at this time. He chose to pass the ball and made a mistake. The West took the opportunity to gain a 3-point lead.

In the end, Wade missed a three-pointer and the West won. Durant, who scored 36 points, was elected the MVP of this All-Star Game.

At the award ceremony, Durant said excitedly: "It feels like a dream come true. I am very lucky to be here. My teammates have been passing me the ball to bring this MVP back to Oklaho. Macheng, I feel very happy."

When Coe was interviewed after the game and asked about the goals of the Lakers for the second half of the season, he said without hesitation: "I hope the Lakers can reach the Finals."

Xiang Chu was also very satisfied. Even though Kobe sometimes strikes iron, Xiang Chu admires his fighting spirit very much.

The All-Star Weekend ended here, and Xiang Chu also returned to Los Angeles with his family.

Next, he will go all out to fight in the regular season. He hopes to show his strength in the playoffs with the team.

Olivia has returned to Canada, and the residence feels much more spacious. Xiang Chu asked Jim Smith to help buy fitness equipment, and turned one of the rooms into a simple gym.

If he wants to be a center like O'Neal, his physical strength is fundamental, and he needs to work harder.

The Lakers don't need to play directly after the All-Star Game. There is still a day's buffer in between, and they are still at home, which is much more comfortable than many teams.

After winning the MVP of the rookie game, Xiang Chu also invited his teammates to the nightclub for a drink.

Bynum was in a very low mood during training, but he was revived soon after going to the nightclub. Xiang Chu didn't understand what this buddy was thinking at all.

Kobe surpassed Jordan in total points in the All-Star Game, so he was in a good mood these two days. Seeing that Xiang Chu played late at the nightclub and came to train early the next day, Kobe recognized the young people of this team even more.

You can play, but you can't delay training. This is Kobe's rule.

The first one to come to challenge after the All-Star is the Timberwolves who are pursuing the top eight in the Western Conference.

But the core of the Timberwolves, Love, was sidelined due to a rib injury, and the No. [-] pick Derek Williams got a chance to start.

The Lakers took the initiative in the first quarter of this game. Kobe made a bold statement during the All-Star Game, and he must lead by example. His attack on the Timberwolves was simply unstoppable.

Originally, the Timberwolves could still resist with two insiders, but now that Love doesn't play, they can't do it at all.

Derrick Williams is much worse than Love. He didn't shine at all in the All-Stars, but he couldn't play when he had the opportunity. He also performed poorly in the first few drafts.

As for Xiang Chu, in the rotation time, he encountered another No. [-] player, Darko Milicic, who had just returned from injury.
