Chapter 145 I'm a Tool Man and March Madness
Kobe has never had a bad relationship with his teammates, but his talent in basketball is beyond doubt.

After knowing that today's All-Star MVP is not easy to win, Kobe immediately changed his mind.

I'm not in good shape today, I don't feel good, and I don't get points smoothly, so I can get assists.

Thinking of this, Kobe glanced at being late.

This guy shoots so accurately, and he is used to playing without the ball. He rarely moves after receiving the ball. Isn't he the best tool for assists?
Brush up the assist data first, and when the Eastern team puts all their defensive attention on late, they can easily score.

Well, the plan is perfect!

So Kobe called Late to the side: "Chi, you feel good today. I think you should take more shots and play more selfishly. I will try my best to pass the ball for you."

"Eh? Don't you want to win the AMVP?" Stupid late asked suspiciously, not knowing what Kobe was thinking.

Kobe smiled confidently: "I believe in my own strength, no problem."

So then Kobe kept passing the ball to him while he was late on the court, making assists wildly.

As late as today, I feel really good-his three-pointers have always been stable, and his shooting percentage has never been low, but he also has good hands, that is, the kind of ball that he is not sure about, and he can also get into it net.

With Kobe's assists, he was late and kept shooting three-pointers.

The faces of all the Eastern All-Star players changed: "Boss, please be a man, and accept your supernatural powers. You have made 11 of 10 three-pointers. Today's AMVP belongs to you!"

Even Stoudemire looked frustrated and glanced at Nash: "Steve, is it because I can't get AMVP again?"

Nash shrugged: "No way, there is a pervert in our team, and his three-pointers are too accurate."

Kobe is also very happy with his assists. He made 15 late passes and converted 8 goals. This conversion rate is simply too high.

D'Antoni couldn't help it, he glanced at Stoudemire: It's not that the coach doesn't help you, I really didn't expect your competitor to be too strong.

Played 8 minutes late and was replaced by D'Antoni.

He played a total of 13 minutes in the first half, took 14 shots, hit 13 goals, and hit 10 three-pointers in a single quarter in the second quarter, setting a new All-Star historical record.The late score also rose to 37 points, leading the Western All-Stars to beat the Eastern All-Stars.

After the late break, Kobe and Stoudemire completely took over the possession of the Western Conference. The two tried their best, and they didn't want to hand over the AMVP.

Even Kobe himself felt a little uncomfortable. He obviously used being late as a tool to get assists. How could he accidentally let him score 32 points in a single quarter?
Kobe and Stoudemire went all out, put all their energy on the offensive end, and kept hitting the Eastern All-Star basket, making the old O'Neal miserable.

He quickly made a choice to let the young Dwight Howard play to accept the torture of Stoudemire and Kobe.

After the first half, the game has actually entered garbage time, and the point difference between the two sides has reached 30+.The Western All-Star team is really efficient today. Only Kevin Garnett's shooting rate is low, and everyone else's shooting rate exceeds 50%.

The game that lost its suspense early also made the fans lose a lot of expectations. Except for Kobe and Stoudemire's points, there is nothing worthy of attention.

The Eastern All-Star team also acquiesced to another failure this year, completely gave up resistance, and fought against the Western All-Stars.

All of a sudden, all kinds of amazing dunks were staged on the court.

I was late for the second half, and played for another 3 minutes without a single shot.

In the end, the much-anticipated Las Vegas All-Star Game drove high and low, once again confirming the pattern of strong west and weak east.

He played a total of 16 minutes late, and won the AMVP of this All-Star Game by virtue of his historical record of scoring 32 points in a single quarter in the second quarter.

Kobe Bryant's face is very ugly. This year he can compete for different honors. Although the team has introduced Pau Gasol, the cooperation between him and Gasol still needs a period of time. It will take some time for the Lakers to re-emerge.That's why he attaches great importance to this AMVP, hoping to get it, so that this year will not return empty-handed.

It's a pity that the tool man's condition today is really good. In addition, there is a Stoudemire in the West who is unwilling to fail and grabs the ball with him. As a result, Kobe finally missed the All-Star MVP this time.

He played 28 minutes, 24 of 13, scored 31 points, 5 rebounds and 11 assists. The statistics are very good. It is not impossible to win the MVP, but this year the league obviously does not plan to share the MVP again.

Stoudemire played 21 minutes and scored 22 points in 14 of 29. His performance was slightly better than Kobe's.

In the end, the Western All-Stars beat the Eastern All-Stars by 163:145 by 18 points, marking the end of this All-Star Weekend.

After the game, some players called for the All-Stars to stay in Las Vegas-these people all made a good bet in Las Vegas.

In fact, the All-Star Game cannot be held in Las Vegas forever. This is the most important show in the middle of the regular season. How could David Stern limit himself to death?
Although this year's All-Star Game seems to be lively, in fact, the evaluation given by the media is very low, especially the facilities in the Thomas & Mack Center Arena, which have been frantically complained by the media all over the world.

Let Late say something to himself, he doesn't want to come to Nas Vegas for another All-Star Weekend.

Tian Ying also had no good experience in Las Vegas.

After all, this is a casino city, she is still just an underage girl, she can't go anywhere, in the end she just stayed in the hotel for three days, apart from participating in some basketball-related activities with late, she didn't feel Las Vegas at all. What's the fun in Sis.

After the All-Star Game, the regular season continues, and each team that has the strength to compete for a place in the playoffs begins to go all out.

After getting Pau Gasol, the Lakers went through a short period of adaptation and quickly gained momentum.

Pau Gasol has comprehensive skills, can be inside and outside, and has a pretty good coping ability. He is one of Kobe's best partners.

It has to be said that Jerry West gave the Los Angeles Lakers a big gift, turning the Lakers from a team that could only fight for the playoffs to a strong contender for the championship.

Phil Jackson's triangle offense finally has players who can implement it.

In the rest of the game after the All-Star break, the Lakers have a good record. Everyone believes that after Kobe and Gasol have worked together, the Lakers only need to make some minor repairs to the lineup before they can compete for the championship. .

The performance of the Warriors is also not bad, but the old Nelson did not pay attention to the problem of defense, which caused them to often lose the game due to super high scores by their opponents.

Milicic took off his parallel import hat, but his performance was not particularly stable. When he played well, he seemed to be omnipotent; when he played poorly, he was still the human victory cigar.

Brandon Roy performed brilliantly, and this year's Rookie of the Year award has almost lost its suspense.

The late performance is still stable, like a precision machine, you never see him play out of order.

The state of the Rockets, which Chinese fans are most concerned about, is not bad. Yao Ming, who has completed his evolution, is unstoppable. When encountering those slow-paced teams, the Rockets are almost sure to win.

Even for a running and bombing team like the Suns, the advantage is not so obvious when facing the Rockets. Both Billups and Prince are very good perimeter defenders, and the two can effectively limit the opponent's rhythm.

However, Tom Thibodeau advocates defense, which causes Rockets fans to often be in fear. The Rockets can play back and forth when they encounter strong opponents, and it is difficult to play a huge advantage when encountering weaker opponents.

After losing late, the Rockets' offensive power has obviously dropped by more than one notch.

This has caused the media to generally look down on the Rockets' way to defend their title. It is almost impossible for them to create a dynasty.

Another team that has attracted the attention of Chinese fans is the Cavaliers, because Wang Zhizhi is already the team's starting power forward. With a season-high 40.1% three-point shooting rate, Wang Zhizhi has become one of James' most trusted partners.

When the time entered March, the NCAA began to enter the attention of fans, attracting a lot of attention from the NBA.

Even the domestic media has paid unprecedented attention to this year's NCAA March Madness, because Yi Jianlian's performance in the NCAA is quite outstanding.

He joined the NCAA giants UCLA Bruins. This team has a long history and brilliant records. In the history of the team, there have been superstars such as Tiangou Kareem, Bill Wharton, and Reggie Miller. The team with the most championships in the NCAA, they once ruled the NCAA in the 1964 years from 1973 to 9. The last time they won the championship, it dates back to 1995.Although this wealthy family is strong now, it has long since lost its original glory.

Team head coach Ben Holland has high hopes for Yi Jianlian. The internal and external dual-core composed of him and Darren Collison is the most powerful guarantee for the Bruins.

It is worth noting that at this time Darren Collison's substitute is Russell Westbrook, a player with "average talent" but 100% enthusiasm for training.

During the period from March to April, a total of 3 NCAA basketball schools (increased to 4 in 65) gathered together and implemented a crazy single-game elimination system. The top seed may be eliminated on the first day if they don’t pay attention, so the popularity is even higher. Even more than the NBA.

In particular, many people believe that the college basketball league has nothing to do with interests and is more pure than the NBA. Therefore, in some people's eyes, the NCAA is the highest palace of basketball in the world.

Regardless of this battle for the highest hall, the level of the NCAA is definitely not low. Some top teams can even wrestle with European giants, and they have obvious advantages in playing the Chinese national team.

Yi Jianlian joined the Brown Bears because he was recommended by Late—Universities in the United States are easy to enter and difficult to get out, and they don’t necessarily have to take exams. The recommendation letters of some scholars with status in the academic world are almost equivalent to admission letters—so Late was invited to watch The focus of the Bruins' match against the North Carolina Tar Heels in the fourth round on March 3.
