I'm really strong in basketball

In the TNT studio, the Big Three had a heated discussion.

Barkley: "In the last round, there is only one point difference. How will the Lakers choose?"

Cole said firmly: "There is no doubt that the Lakers will choose Liu He to complete this attack. After all, O'Neal is an insider and is easy to be targeted. The Timberwolves will not let O'Neal receive the ball."

Barkley asked again: "So how will Liu He complete this shot?"

Smith flipped through the data and said: "It should be a mid-range jumper, or try to break through. It will be very difficult to break through, because the Timberwolves will definitely stick to the basket, and the mid-range may be bigger. In the past 3 minutes, Liu He's all All the points came from the basket, and he missed all three long-range shots at the beginning of the fourth quarter. Moreover, it is now the last moment of the game, and Liu He's physical condition will only get worse, so the mid-range success rate will be higher. The most important thing is that the Lakers are only 3 point behind, they don't need to fight for a more difficult three-pointer, they only need to score a two-pointer, and they win."

The three giants nodded one after another.

It has to be said that their analysis, who are professional players, is well-founded.

Most of the fans who watched the game thought so too.

Soon, the pause is over.

According to the rules, the Lakers serve from the midfield position, which reduces the time for the Lakers to advance, and they have more time to run tactics.

O'Neal stood under the basket, and the Timberwolves had to send at least two people to watch O'Neal, because one person really couldn't limit O'Neal.

Under such circumstances, Liu He relied on the cover of his teammates to easily run out of position and catch Medvedenko's sideline ball.

But soon, Sprewell followed up again, tightly entwining Liu He.

However, the Timberwolves did not notice that the moment Medvedenko threw the ball, O'Neal ran out from the basket, raised the high position, and set a screen for Liu He.

Or play pick-and-roll tactics?

On the sidelines, coach Philip Saunders smiled.

Everything was guessed by him.

The Lakers played pick-and-roll tactics for four consecutive rounds. Of course, they will not give up this magic weapon, and they are likely to use this trick in the final round.

And Philip Sanders guessed it right, so he was naturally prepared.

It was not Elvin Johnson who came out with O'Neal, but "Wolf King" Garnett.

The moment O'Neal blocked Sprewell, Garnett immediately switched to Liu He.

With Garnett personally defending Liu He, it is impossible for Liu He to score!

I have Philip Sanders winning this game.

On the court, Liu He was blocked by Garnett and immediately passed the ball to O'Neal.

O'Neal, who went down, caught the basketball, facing the top defense of big center Erwin Johnson, and the pursuit of "Madman" Sprewell...and it happened that Johnson was the only one in the entire Timberwolves who could fight O'Neal hand-to-hand. , O'Neill's pass was blocked.

The two cores are all trapped!

The Lakers' tactics are bankrupt?

At this moment, Liu He suddenly pushed Garnett, turned around and ran towards the three-point line.

Garnett immediately caught up.

However, Medvedenko, who had just served a sideline kick, miraculously appeared at the top of the arc, as if he had been ready for a long time, and helped Liu He cover, briefly delaying Garnett.

Obviously, this is a tactic that the Lakers have arranged long ago.

After all, Medvedenko doesn't have this kind of on-the-spot reaction ability, and this cover cannot be a temporary operation.

It turned out that the Lakers' initial tactic was to play three-pointers, not pick-and-roll tactics.

The pick-and-roll is just a bait.

Philip Sanders thought he had guessed the tactics of the Lakers, but the Lakers had already predicted that he would guess, and I already predicted your prediction.

You all think that we can't shoot three-pointers, so we have to shoot three-pointers, which has the highest success rate.

You think I made 3 of 0 three-pointers before, and my physical strength has problems, so I dare not take any more shots, but I am not afraid and have firm confidence.

Liu He got rid of Garnett.

O'Neal's pass was in place in an instant.

Liu He catches the ball, pulls up and shoots.

Garnett bypassed Medvedenko and rushed forward.

The time of the whole game is almost at the end.

In the blink of an eye, everything has changed.

Beep!

The moment the ball was released, the final whistle sounded.

The basketball just passed Garnett's fingertips, flew high, crossed a perfect parabola, and flew forward.

At this moment, the entire Staples Center was silent, and everyone held their breath, staring at the basketball.

Until the basketball goes into the hoop with precision.

Swish!

89: 87.

The ball is in!

Lore!

Buzzer lore!

Liu He beat the Timberwolves!

In an instant, the entire Staples Center Arena exploded from a static painting into a sea of ​​joy.

All the Lakers players and coaching staff rushed towards Liu He...

They were cheering, jumping, twisting... What could be more incisively happy than a Jedi comeback.

In the TNT studio, Cole shouted loudly: "Liu He! Liu He! He did it, an incredible goal!"

And Smith's face was a bit ugly. After all, he supported Garnett from the beginning to the end, but he was slapped in the face.

On the contrary, Barkley kept barking after Cole, and Fliggy didn't care about face matters.

In the CCTV live broadcast room, Shuang Ping also yelled: "Liu He did it! Liu He did it! He killed the opponent! He completed the first lore of his career. This is a great night and will be defeated by his Fans will always remember!"

On the other side, the Timberwolves players lowered their heads, and Garnett looked even more ugly.

lost?He lost!

That rookie still faced him and completed the lore!

Didn't this hit Garnett's face with a "slap, snap, snap" sound.

"It's okay, man, it's just a regular season. The last laugh is the real winner!"

Cassell comforts Garnett.

Garnett nodded, but his face never recovered.

He didn't even have the face to say goodbye to the Lakers after the game, hurried into the player tunnel, and disappeared.

Seeing Garnett fleeing in despair, Liu He just smiled.

Girls choose to run away, isn't this a normal thing?

On the contrary, Sprewell and Cassel congratulated Liu He generously.

Liu He also affirmed their performance, and both sides hugged and said goodbye.

本场比赛，刘河砍下25分6篮板6助攻3抢断1盖帽。

O'Neal scored 22 points, 12 rebounds, 2 assists and 3 blocks.

Payton had 13 points, 4 rebounds, 7 assists and 1 steal.

Fisher had 12 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist.

Timberwolves here:

加内特拿下28分13篮板5助攻2抢断3盖帽。

Sprewell had 21 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal.

Kassel had 17 points, 5 rebounds and 11 assists.

The three-headed monster of the Timberwolves played very well, but the Lakers had the last laugh.

At the press conference after the game, Liu He naturally became the focus of media attention.

O'Neill and Phil praised Liu He.

Liu He himself felt very excited, but he didn't get carried away: "Without the tactics arranged by Phil, without Shaq's restraint, and without the help of other teammates, I would not be able to do that kind of thing."

Another reporter asked: "Liu He, how did you manage to accomplish such a miracle when your physical strength was almost exhausted and you missed three long-range shots?"

Liu He's face became more and more calm, and he seemed to say narratively: "It's very simple, as long as you practice 300 three-pointers for yourself every day, and 500 three-pointers on the team's rest day, if the game is not good , then give yourself another 100 three-pointers...and stick to it from high school until now. Then the three-pointer will be integrated into your muscle memory, into your blood, and become a part of your body..."

This is how Liu He's three-pointers were practiced.

After all, before he entered the NBA, the system hadn't given him any help. He practiced three-pointers with his own sweat.

The emergence of the system is to improve his original solid foundation.

The whole place went quiet.

How easy is this?

With this perseverance and perseverance, 99% of people can't do it.

So the hardships of becoming a professional player are beyond the imagination of amateurs.

Cough!

O'Neill coughed twice, he was somewhat embarrassed.

As long as he has half of Liu He's perseverance, O'Neal's free throws have already been practiced, and his body fat rate will not get out of control to this point.

The reporters then reacted and continued to compete for opportunities to ask questions.

The on-site host selected Lucy, a beautiful reporter from FOX. The relationship between her and Liu He was not hidden, and almost all the staff of the Lakers knew about it.

Lucy didn't hold back, she stood up and asked solemnly: "Liu He, before this game, you and Garnett had some unpleasant things. And you made the lore in front of Garnett during the game." His team, do you have anything to say right now?"

coming!

coming!

As expected of FOX Sports, even his "old lover" will not let go.

Liu He thought for a while and said: "This is just a regular season, and the result of the game can't explain anything. It can't mean that Garnett is weaker than me, and it can't mean that I am stronger than Garnett. That's right, that's it. .”

That's it?

These reporters knew Liu He's style, and felt that Liu He would never let go of such an opportunity.

Sure enough, Liu He continued: "But I hope Garnett can shut up before he defeats me! A player just needs to play well, and there are too many things to do. That's why Duncan already has two championships. ring, and why Garnett is nothing."

What the hell!

What the hell!

The scene exploded directly!

Liu He's words were so brave that he offended Garnett to death.

When the reporters reported Liu He's words, it really caused an uproar.

Even Cassel, Sprewell, and Timberwolves officials immediately stood up to speak for Garnett.

Garnett's diehard fans are even more fried.

However, Garnett himself was very quiet, just saying that he would do his best in the next game to bring back a victory for the Minnesota fans.

Liu He was quite satisfied with this.

Garnett still has a bit of a bottom line.

What is the most important thing about a player?

strength!

In competitive sports, the winner is king!

To win is to win, to lose is to lose.

The winner enjoys everything, the loser stands at attention and prepares to be scolded.

Making so many excuses, so many reasons, are all cowardly acts.

Does this change the fact that you lost?

No matter how much bullshit there is, it's better to call back next time.

Garnett was obviously holding his breath, ready to fight back next time, which made Liu Hegao glance at him, and was full of anticipation and vigilance for the next battle between the two teams.

But Garnett's fans couldn't bear it.

"Liu He is too arrogant. Do you really think that if you win once, you will win forever?"

"Don't be too arrogant as a rookie, your career has just begun."

"Garnett will deal with you sooner or later!"

……

And this game also directly affected the results of the final round of the All-Star voting.

For the forward position in the West, Liu He's votes have been rising all the way, while Garnett's votes are not as strong as before.

In the end, Liu He became the No. 1 forward in the West, Duncan also secured the No. 2 position in the West, and Garnett occupied the third position in the West.

Liu He successfully squeezed Garnett out of the All-Star starting position.

Although I saw it with my own eyes, the final result still made many fans call it incredible.

You must know that this year is Kevin Garnett's peak season, averaging 24.2 points, 13.9 rebounds, 5 assists, 1.5 steals and 2.2 blocks per game. The super luxury data, and the Timberwolves are also singing all the way, playing the best record in the history of the Timberwolves .

And Garnett was originally a balloon star with a huge number of fans.

Such Garnett could not even make the All-Star starter.

Incredible.

It can only be said that Garnett was too unlucky to meet Liu He.

刘河一个新秀，目前场均能拿到21.2分5.3篮板3.7助攻2.6抢断0.4盖帽，他所在的湖人队领跑全联盟。

In the three direct matches between the Lakers and the Timberwolves, the Lakers also won two times.Liu He played very well in the two games he won, and even had a buzzer-beater, which was done in front of Garnett.

Most importantly, Liu He has the whole of China behind him.

Garnett has to lose if he doesn't lose!

In this regard, the lineup for the 2004 All-Star Weekend has been determined.

According to the rules, the All-Star starters are selected by the fans, the NBA coaches select the substitutes, and the head coaches of the star teams are the head coaches of the teams with the best records in the East and West respectively.

The Western Conference All-Star lineup is:

Head Coach: Phil Jackson (Lakers).

Starting lineup:

Yao Ming (Rockets), Duncan (Spurs), Liu He (Lakers), Kobe (Lakers), Francis (Rockets).

Substitute lineup:

O'Neal (Lakers), Garnett (Timberwolves), Ray Allen (Sonics), Brad Miller (Kings), Peja (Kings), Cassell (Timberwolves), Novi Ski (Mavericks).

The Eastern Conference All-Star lineup is:

Head Coach: Rick Carlisle (Pacers).

Starting lineup:

Big Ben (Pistons), O'Neal (Pacers), McGrady (Magic), Carter (Raptors), Iverson (76ers).

The replacement lineup is:

Kenyon Martin (Nets), Kidd (Nets), Redd (Bucks), Pierce (Celtics), Artest (Pacers), Beard (Hornets) ), Magloire (Hornets).

It is worth mentioning that this year's top ticket is Vince Carter, the dunk god.

After the list was released, Liu He received a lot of congratulatory text messages.

Duncan: "Brother, we can fight side by side."

Yao Ming: "Xiao Liu, we are training ahead of the national team."

Josh Howard: "OMG, my brother, you can be an All-Star in your rookie season, I really envy you!"

Josh Howard has actually been enjoying himself recently.

The Mavericks' wing core Michael Finley was reimbursed for the season due to injury. Howard got a lot of playing time.

In his rookie season, Howard averaged 8.6 points, 5.5 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 1.0 steals and 0.8 blocks per game. He also showed a very strong defensive ability, able to defend from first to fourth, and gradually replaced Finley's role.

However, compared to Liu He, who directly entered the All-Star starting lineup, Josh Howard can only feel inferior.
