NBA: Start the water cooler and reach the Hall of Fame

At this time, there were just over 3 minutes left in the game. Li Kaiming scored with a sudden three-pointer against Duncan's defense. The score between the two sides came to 140 to 133.

The Western Conference team served Deron Williams. As a super-heavy point guard, Deron has a natural dislocation advantage against other point guards on the court, so Popovich signaled Deron to directly single out Rose on the sidelines.

And Deron also understands where his advantage lies. After arriving in the frontcourt, facing Rose's defense, he directly used a forward change to open up the space, and then the ball protector started heading east like a tank. Inside rush!

However, Delong's tank is different from another tank in the east. This is a flexible tank. It is not only powerful, but also very sensitive, and its driving skills are also very superb.

Rose's defense is at least not the type to be chased at the same position, but when faced with Deron, who is completely larger than him, he is still completely unstoppable, and is easily pushed into the penalty area by the latter.

Deron saw that he could easily break through to the basket, and at this time, the Eastern Conference team did not have Howard, a top frame protector, on the court. Stoudemire's defense was still very easy to solve in his opinion. Another insider, Li Kaiming, was also a colander. .

So he directly put the ball together with both hands, used a European step to bypass the ball over Rose's head, and then used his speed to block Stoudemire who was covering the defense, and went to the basket for a backhand layup!

Deron's ball passed by the fingertips of Stoudemire when he looked back, and then successfully hit the backboard. With Deron's hand skills, the ball was basically inseparable when it hit the backboard!

However, if nothing else happens, something will happen.

Two big hands from the new dunk king stretched out from Deron's head, and then the moment the basketball touched the backboard, they directly pressed the ball onto the backboard!

"Oh! Li Kaiming came out from behind Deron Williams, and then nailed the big hat with both hands!" TNT's chief commentator, Marv Albert, shouted loudly in the commentary box.

Steve Kerr, who was next to him, also had a shocked look on his face, "Beautiful defense! Li Kaiming's defense is crucial this time!"

However, these commentators still underestimated Li Kaiming's current defense. Not only did he successfully destroy Deron's offense, he also directly grabbed the ball from the backboard!

After seeing this horrific scene, many people at the scene took a breath!

It turns out this is not a pegboard cap, this is a pegboard scratching cap!

It's so scary!

After Li Kaiming got the rebound, the Western Conference team began to press and defend, preventing Eastern point guard Rose from receiving the ball. The last time James got the ball was 2 minutes ago. At this moment, he was like a gecko that changes color. , has been perfectly integrated into the environment. If you didn't observe carefully, you would have thought that the East was playing four against five.

High-level talents like this should work as snipers in the Emerica army, as their stealth abilities are great!

Unable to find anyone to hold the ball, Li Kaiming simply held the ball to the frontcourt. Popovich still asked Duncan to guard Li Kaiming alone. At the last moment of the game, even if this was an All-Star, all the players on the court gave up. I thought about the performance, started to get serious, and strive to win this game.

Popovich's defensive philosophy is very clear. I will use Duncan to defend alone. If you have the ability, you can beat Duncan. As for leading your teammates, don't even think about it!

To put it bluntly, I think basketball is a team sport. If you are capable, you can beat me to death by yourself!

Duncan basically defends on the three-point line and does not go further outside at all. Therefore, this kind of defense tests Li Kaiming's shooting ability and ability to break through the upper-line defense.

And very coincidentally, Li Kaiming is very good in these two abilities.

So he waved to the others to open up space for them. The other stars also cooperated, while Duncan on the opposite side clapped his hands on the floor in a very funny way.

This guy must be trying to laugh me to death and inherit my balls!

Li Kaiming suppressed the laughter in his heart, then dribbled the ball in front of Duncan, suddenly picked it up and threw it one step away from the three-point line!

Although Duncan is old, his defensive awareness and reaction speed are still very fast, and he instantly blocked Li Kaiming's sight with his big hand.

However, the shooting skills of professional players are basically muscle memory. Blind defense may occasionally work, but it basically has no impact on top stars.

With a crisp sound of brushing the net, Li Kaiming hit his second three-pointer in a row, 140 to 136!

The score difference came to 4 points. Li Kaiming made two three-pointers and a key defense during this period. He was the biggest contributor to the close score!

With 2 minutes left on the clock, the Western Conference team served, and Kobe Bryant, the All-Star voting champion at home, was about to step forward. Even though he was opposite Wade, who had once won the All-Defensive Team, he was not afraid.

After the Western team reached the frontcourt, they handed the ball to Kobe at the waist, while the Eastern team also defended alone from the outside. What's more, that was Wade. No one in the entire league was more suitable to defend Kobe than him among the shooting guards.

The entire audience stood up. At the critical moment of the All-Star Game, every ball was a one-on-one duel between the superstars. It was perhaps the most exciting part besides the finals.

Everyone held their breath. Kobe dropped the ball. He just patted it, and then hesitated and looked like he was going to take a shot.

Wade immediately pushed forward, fearing that Kobe would suddenly pull him up, but Kobe's shot was just a change of rhythm. Wade's defensive focus was deceived. Kobe lowered his shoulders and suddenly pushed the ball through, and Wade was suddenly hit. Too clean!

It was very close to the basket. Kobe only dribbled the ball and reached the edge of the penalty area. At this time, Li Kaiming, who was guarding Duncan, suddenly let go of Duncan and rushed directly towards Kobe. Most people would definitely pass the ball at this time. It's given to Duncan who is open, but he is Kobe.

If he were to pass the ball at this time, it would be better to let the sun rise from the west...

Seeing Li Kaiming, who had just exploded, coming to help defend, Kobe's eyes flashed with madness!

He just likes tough and strong people, and being strong when he is strong is his style!

Kobe directly pulled up on the spot, deliberately raised the arc when facing Li Kaiming's defense, and then took action without hesitation!

Everyone's eyes were fixed on the basketball in the air. After drawing a parabola in the air, the basketball hit the rectangular box of the backboard and then bounced into the basket.

boom!

Staples Center instantly fell into madness!

Groom Albert in the commentary box looked excited, as if he was crazy, "This is Kobe. He stabilized the situation with a key shot. The Western team opened the point difference to 6 points, leaving little time for the Eastern team. Got it!"

Many fans in the audience started shouting Kobe's name loudly!

The King of Staples has arrived!

After scoring the goal, Kobe also clenched his fist with one hand and ran towards the backcourt. His eyes were determined, his expression was cold, and he had a pretentious aura.

Sanders wanted to call a timeout, but Li Kaiming stopped him with his eyes.

After seeing the look in Li Kaiming's eyes, Sanders instantly felt at ease, for no other reason than to believe in the core of our team!

The Eastern Conference did not call a timeout, which puzzled the on-site commentators. Cole was a little curious, "If we hadn't called a timeout, life or death would almost have been determined by one ball this time. Was Sanders playing so exciting?"

Sanders: I don’t want to play something so exciting. The main reason is that if someone doesn’t stimulate him, he won’t play~

Rose reached the frontcourt with the ball, and Li Kaiming stepped forward to pick and roll. Rose used his speed to break through Duncan's defense, and then plunged into the West's penalty area. But the horror of this lineup in the West is that in addition to Duncan, there is another inside line. The rim-protecting devil Pau Gasol.

Rose used his speed advantage to break through the perimeter defense, but he also paid the price of slowing down.

Gasol stood still under the basket with his hands raised, blocking Rose and the basket like a wall. It was simply a fantasy to challenge Gasol.

So Rose directly took the ball out and gave it to James, who was smoking in the corner.

James saw that Rose had found him hiding in the most inconspicuous corner, and this attack was blocked by the opponent. The ball was simply a hot potato when he got it.

So James threw the ball directly to Li Kaiming at the top of the arc. At present, it seems that there is still a brotherhood between James and Wade, because he did not throw the blame into the hands of Wade, who was closer to him.

The Western Conference's defensive formation quickly returned to its original state after being disturbed by Rose. The cooperation between these veterans is so close that it is as if they have been playing in the same team for many years.

So this ball has to be handed over to Li Kaiming again.

After seeing this scene, Zhang Weiping in the broadcast booth was puzzled, "How come the ball is passed to Li Kaiming at the critical moment of the game? One after another is MVP and FMVP, and when it comes to the moment when the bayonet is red, , Why are you starting to act like a coward, giving a rookie the lead in the Eastern Conference?"

Li Kaiming hit two consecutive three-pointers. Although Popovich still asked Duncan to defend Li Kaiming alone, Duncan himself changed his defensive habits and began to follow outside.

This is what Li Kaiming wanted to see, so he accelerated directly, pushed the ball forward, got rid of Duncan and drove straight into the Western basket.

At this time, the benefit of the Western Conference having two frame-protecting artifacts on the court is reflected. Gasol went to the basket, and Li Kaiming was not able to make a layup.

But what is different from the regular season is that the one Gasol let up at this time was Stoudemire, who has the best inside coverage in history, and it was not Blatche. Li Kaiming directly passed the ball to Stoudemire without looking at anyone, and the latter received the ball. He immediately picked up the ball and pressed Gasol to split Huashan with all his strength!

142 is better than 138!

1 minute left!

Popovich still didn't call a timeout and gave the ball to Kobe after halftime. Popovich gave Kobe enough face tonight and let him play every ball at the last moment.

Wade stepped forward and used confrontation to interfere with Kobe, but Kobe also responded tit for tat. His "little Malone" style returned to the world, and he directly elbowed Wade away, and then turned around and shot from the mid-range!

But this time it was not just Wade who was defending alone, Li Kaiming also rushed over in time. Kobe faced the blocks of Li Kaiming and Wade in the air, but still chose to play by himself, raising the arc and flicking his wrist!

Bang!Kobe's shot was "open" and missed.

Stoudemire squeezed Gasol away from the basket, then jumped up high to grab the rebound.

The two guards Wade and Rose immediately ran to Stoudemire, preparing to catch the ball and call a timeout at halftime. However, what was surprising was that Stoudemire directly called Li Kaiming's name and passed the ball to the backside. By!
