King of the Point Guard Era

Chapter 121 All-Star Battle

At 8:[-] p.m., the All-Stars, the biggest highlight of the All-Star Weekend, arrive. All the seats in the Staples Center are already filled with fans waiting for the game to start, not only inside the stadium, but also in the big square outside the Staples Arena , even in such a cold winter, the outside of the square is full of people.It can also be seen from this that the All-Star Game is called for. After all, it is only at this time that we can see the top basketball stars from all over the United States gather together.

The first ones to play were five starters from the East and West that were voted by fans, and they basically represented the strongest group of people in the entire NBA. The starters in the East were Rose, Wade, James, and Stoudemire. Hall, Howard, the head coach is Doug Rivers, the head coach of last year's Eastern Conference champions, and the starters in the Western Conference are He Yixiang, Kobe, Anthony, Durant, Duncan, and the coach is the famous Popovich.The first appearances were all played together, no matter which side played, they won the applause of the fans in the stadium. Of course, Kobe's voice was the loudest when he played. After all, this is Kobe's home court.

At the beginning of the game, Kobe showed his determination to win an MVP in Los Angeles. He accelerated directly as if no one was there, and rushed into the interior to show a beautiful windmill dunk for the Los Angeles fans.Although this is the All-Star game, but in this Staples Center, most of them are Lakers fans.Seeing Kobe's slam dunk, this chic posture makes people can't help but recall the appearance of this young man who won the slam dunk championship in his rookie season.

"Well done, Kobe took the lead for the All-Stars in the Western Conference. This slam dunk posture is really picturesque!" The on-site commentary shouted passionately, "I believe many people hope that Kobe can once again stand on the stage of the slam dunk contest .”

But looking back, James, who has become the top player in the league, is naturally not to be outdone. He dribbled the ball straight to the inside and then helped Howard fly. Under this powerful dunk, even He Yixiang could feel the strength of the Staples Center The rim is trembling, and he even maliciously speculates in his heart whether the dunk will change the width of the rim and keep hitting the iron.

Afterwards, both sides didn't take defense very seriously. Both sides had high shooting percentages, and each game was more exciting than the other. He Yixiang's senior brother Rose was a player who didn't feel comfortable without pulling the bar. The next step is still to end the game with a beautiful drawbar.

But compared to Rose's activity, He Yixiang, the news hotspot in the past two days, seems a bit low-key. He is more about passing a beautiful pass to Kobe after Kobe reaches the right position. Kobe is also a scoring drama under He Yixiang's pass. In the first quarter, they scored as many as 15 points.The West also led by as much as 38 points with 31:7 points.The Lakers fans watched He Yixiang's pass. It would be great if He could come to the Lakers. He could pass the ball to him as soon as Kobe got to the position. When Kobe didn't feel good that night, his Offensive ability can also carry the whole team.

At the same time, this All-Star is still broadcasting live in China, and the Chinese fans are a little unhappy. They are not here to watch He Yixiang pass the ball. Although He Yixiang's pass is indeed explosive, they also want to see them The idol to come up with a wonderful dunk, or make some difficult three-pointers.

"Why does Kobe keep attacking with the ball all by himself! It's okay to be alone in the Lakers, this is the All-Star." Some fans of He Yixiang in China are a little dissatisfied. It has attracted a lot of fans in China.

"This is Kobe's home court. He Yixiang must have thought so himself. Does a rookie still want to steal his limelight at the home court of a league superstar? That's too lacking in emotional intelligence!" Most people also know He Yixiang's I don't want He Yixiang's fans and Kobe's fans to tear each other apart.You must know that Kobe has attracted countless fans in China with his picturesque fadeaway jumper, but he is known as 60E, which is no less than Yao Ming.

In the second quarter, He Yixiang and Kobe also went down to rest first, and Paul and Westbrook played instead of them. After all, this is an All-Star game to entertain everyone. Every player will get a certain amount of playing time, and the substitute players This time period is also mainly distributed in the second and third quarters.

Kobe greeted He very happily as soon as he got off the court: "Good pass, He." After several fights, Kobe no longer regarded He Yixiang as a fledgling rookie.

"The spotlight is on you tonight, don't miss those shots!" He Yixiang also responded very modestly, "I'm planning to make a beautiful assist on you today."

And the scene of the happy conversation between the two sides was conveyed to thousands of fans of both sides in China through the TV footage. Seeing their idols talking so friendly, the fans of both sides were embarrassed to black each other out. , and also refocused their attention on the game. After all, they are teammates now, and they all hope that the team can win.

But as soon as the second quarter came up, Westbrook began to show his superior game style. After hitting two irons in a row on the three-pointer that he was not good at, he continued to hit a few irons in a row.Under the various transmissions of the Eastern All-Star Rondo, the lead that was originally obtained in the first quarter disappeared in an instant.Even his own teammate Durant couldn't help frowning on the bench.

Kobe is even more unhappy off the court. Although the All-Star MVP is not a big honor, but now he is at his doorstep, he is still very interested in getting this MVP, but the prerequisite for getting the MVP is to win this In a game, let him go on like this, even if the guys on the opposite side deliberately let the water go, it will be difficult to lose.

Fortunately, Popovich also saw something was wrong, and directly replaced Westbrook with Kobe. The pass is very random to get the ball, and the two sides will not steal. Occasionally, a steal will form a dazzling fast break.The stabilized two teams drew 64:64 at halftime.Kobe scored a game-high 22 points, but the opposite Zhan Huang also scored 16 points, 6 assists and 6 rebounds. It seems that this is heading for a triple-double.
