Basketball's best forward and guard

Chapter 253 173 [Different plots, same attitude]

The throne of No.1 in the league is not just a bayonet that wants to sit, Giannis also has this idea and ambition.

However, in the offense and defense just now, he, Giannis, was in a complete defeat.

This made him very angry.

Before the bayonet was born, Giannis was a Greek monster in people's mouth, and he was the No. 1 best candidate for the future league in the hearts of fans.

But the bayonet that turned out a year ago completely disrupted all this.

Of course, Giannis is a person who dares to face the competition head-on. Facing the bayonet that turned out, he secretly made up his mind to become the strongest new star in the league again.

However, in the first regular season match against the Dallas Mavericks this season, he once again lost to the Bayonets.

This made him realize that the bayonet was far more terrifying than he had imagined.

Therefore, from that time on, he regarded the bayonet as his only opponent from the bottom of his heart.

He has already lost to Bayonet in this All-Star contest, so his idea is that in the All-Star Game, he will lead the Eastern All-Stars to defeat the Western All-Stars led by Bayonet, which is more or less a return to the factory. .

Therefore, when Bayonet asked him to take the game seriously before the game started, he said he agreed.

Because in his opinion, the gold content of defeating the bayonet in a serious match is obviously higher.

With this in mind, the game started like this.

But sometimes things backfire, and tonight he just didn't feel good, making Kevin Durant, not Giannis, the brightest player in the Eastern Conference.

This alone makes him very depressed, but it doesn't matter, as long as the Eastern All-Star team wins in the end, it really doesn't matter if the All-Star Most Valuable Player is given to Kevin Durant, because he cares about the bayonet Also did not get the All-Star Most Valuable Player, for him, this is enough.

But now what?

Defending the bayonet with Kawhi Leonard is enough to make him feel ashamed, and now he is directly counter-killed, which makes his long-term depression directly turn into anger.

Therefore, at this moment, Giannis, in the eyes of outsiders, is not affected by the ball just now, and is still communicating with his teammates for the final tactics with a smile on his face, but in fact, the anger in his heart is about to come on the verge of eruption.

"I'll take this ball"

Giannis made the final decision directly. He directly told everyone, including the head coach Nass, that he would be responsible for ending this crucial attack.

Antetokounmpo is a confident guy, otherwise he would not be able to achieve today's achievements. With 42 seconds left in the game, he believes that he can lead the team to complete the reversal.

Nas chose to trust Antetokounmpo. In fact, he and you were inclined to let Kawhi Leonard, his general in the Toronto Raptors, for this attack, but there is no way. Antetokounmpo's face.

"Guys, the real decisive moment is coming. With 42 seconds left in the game, although the Western All-Stars lead by 4 points, for the Eastern All-Stars, they still have the possibility of turning defeat into victory."

In the tnt live broadcast room, Kenny Smith said.

"Guys, do you know what I thought of watching this scene?"

Charles Barkley said such a sentence suddenly, and turned his head to look at Shaq O'Neal beside him. He believed that Shaq O'Neal could think of something.

"2003 All-Star Game"

Sure enough, Shaq O'Neal said without thinking.

"History is always surprisingly similar. The 2003 All-Star was Michael Jordan's last All-Star, but obviously, Kobe's crazy behavior caused an uproar at the time. Until now, we can't judge who is right and who is wrong, but One thing's for sure, Bayonet is doing as crazy tonight as his stadium idol ever did."

The story of the 2003 All-Star Game quickly emerged in Shaq O'Neal's mind. As a witness, perhaps this is one of the reasons why he has always respected Kobe so much for so many years.

In the 2003 All-Star Game, when the game came to the end of the fourth quarter, the Western All-Star team fell behind the Eastern All-Star team 119:120. Michael Jordan missed a layup and missed the opportunity to open the score. Fouled while defending Kobe. With only 10 seconds left, Kobe made two free throws to tie the score. Then, facing Marion's defense, Jordan missed a fadeaway jumper and the game entered overtime.In overtime, the score between the two sides was still not widened. With only 23 seconds left in the game, O'Neal made two free throws and tied the score at 136.East All-Star head coach Isaiah Thomas requested a timeout, handing over game-defining time to Jordan. The "God of Basketball" did not disappoint. With 4.8 seconds left in the game, he held the ball again. Marion didn't dare to be careless, and immediately got close to him. Under his almost perfect defense, Jordan used his iconic backward jumper , into the quasi-lore.

O'Neill remembers very clearly that at that time, the enthusiasm of the audience was ignited by this goal, and people cheered like a tsunami for the final performance of "Flying Man".If the game ends here, this may be the most perfect All-Star curtain call.But Adelman, the head coach of the Western All-Star team, immediately called a timeout and handed over the task of the last attack to Kobe. With 4.8 seconds left in the game, Kobe quickly dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, and under O'Neal's defense, twisted Barely shot!The ball goes out of the basket.Just when people thought the game was over, the referee's whistle blew inappropriately.O'Neal hit Kobe's hand, and Kobe will make three free throws. If all hits, the Western All-Stars will win the game, and the audience boos everywhere.Kobe stood on the free throw line and took a calm shot. He made 3 of 2 free throws and tied the score at 138.With only 1 second left in the game, Jordan's hasty shot was blocked by Marion.As a result, this game became the first double-overtime All-Star Game in history.In the second overtime, Jordan did not play.Kevin Garnett took over the game, scored 10 points, and led the West team to win the game 155:145. He scored 37 points, 9 rebounds, and 5 steals and won the MVP.

Therefore, everyone knows the story that happened later. After that game, Kobe Bryant became the target of public criticism. People felt that Kobe was too serious and did not give due respect to the god of basketball. He also regards the god of basketball as an idol.

But Kobe's response was that he was using his all-out game attitude to express his utmost respect for his idol.
