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

On February 2, the much-anticipated NBA All-Star Game of the 26-2011 season came to an end at the Amway Center, home of the Orlando Magic. Although Orlando is not as star-filled as Los Angeles, the NBA is one of the four major professional leagues in America. First, it has huge influence, so many stars and celebrities came to the scene.

Of course, broadcasters all over the world are indispensable. China's official sports channel also sent two old partners, Zhang Weiping and Yu Jia, to commentate on this star-studded All-Star Game.

Zhang Weiping wore a headset on his head and looked like a Teletubbie from a distance. He shook his head and asked Yu Jia next to him, "Who do you think will win tonight's game? Who is the MVP of the All-Star Game?"

Yu Jia turned her head and glanced at Zhang Weiping, with a speechless look on her face, thinking, old man, you are deliberately digging a hole for me.

Before, Li Kaiming didn't say anything when he was still an American national. After all, as a Chinese commentator, there was no reason to firmly support Li Kaiming. But now Li Kaiming is a complete Chinese. If he becomes a Chinese commentator tonight, If tens of millions of Chinese fans say something that does not support Li Kaiming, then he will probably become a traitor and a lackey tomorrow...

"As a commentator, of course I want to make this game more exciting, but as a Chinese, of course I choose to support Li Kaiming's team, and this is the first time he has been elected as the All-Star vote winner. Game wins and MVPs mean a lot to him."

Zhang Weiping was very satisfied with Jia's answer. He smiled and nodded and said, "This is also my opinion!"

At this time, there were still a few minutes before the start of the game, and the starting lineups of the East and West All-Star teams were already displayed on the big screen at the Amway Center.

Eastern Conference: Point guard Derrick Rose, shooting guard Dwyane Wade, small forward LeBron James, power forward Kaiming Li, center Dwight Howard.

West: Point guard Chris Paul, shooting guard Kobe Bryant, small forward Kevin Durant, power forward Blake Griffin, center Andrew Bynum.

After the players from both sides warmed up, tonight's referee came to the midfield, stood in the middle circle with the ball in one hand, and then threw the ball into the sky with a whistle!

Howard, who was at the peak of his physical condition and filled with anger at being robbed of the All-Star vote leader, easily helped the Eastern team win the first offensive opportunity.

The ball was given to Derrick Rose, who dribbled the ball directly to Li Kaiming after half court. Li Kaiming did not hesitate at all when facing Griffin's single defense, and regardless of whether Griffin was in place, he directly passed the ball. It's a three-pointer!

Howard, who was under the basket, saw Li Kaiming take action and took up a position under the basket with one against two, preparing to grab the offensive rebound.

If you want to get tonight's MVP, you have to overwhelm others in terms of data, so you must seize the opportunity at the beginning that most people don't take seriously and get as much data as possible. This is what Howard set for himself before the game. Strategy.

It seems that he also knows in his heart that he lacks offensive methods. When it comes to the critical moment, his three-legged cat's offensive methods cannot be brought to the table at all.

The thought flashed through my mind. Howard had already occupied the most advantageous position under the basket. Unfortunately, Li Kaiming scored the goal!

3 to 0!It's a three-pointer from the East!

Howard cursed under his breath, then turned around and ran back to his own half.

The Western team attacked and the ball was given to Chris Paul. After the latter came to the frontcourt, he played a pick-and-roll with Kevin Durant. Durant chose to play Paul outside and passed the ball directly behind his head. Durant received the ball and faced James' defense. Directly pull out the outside line!

It was almost the same choice as Li Kaiming, but unfortunately the ball did not go in. Howard jumped high under the basket, and then grabbed the rebound with a snap, arousing exclamations in the Amway Center.

The Eastern team dribbled the ball past halftime. Rose gave the ball to James. The latter chose to break through directly when facing Durant and went to the basket and caused Bynum's foul. James made one of two free throws and the Eastern Conference led 4-0.

After the Western Conference reached the frontcourt, the ball was handed over to Kobe, who chose to single out Wade. These two are old rivals. They played against each other in the last All-Star Game. Kobe stopped and feinted, waiting for Wade to take off, and then got up again and successfully scored. .

4 is better than 2!

The Eastern team attacked. After Rose dribbled the ball into the frontcourt, Li Kaiming suddenly burst out with speed and made an air cut. After all, Rose and Li Kaiming had trained together for a period of time. He directly hit the ball to Li Kaiming who made an air cut and entered the three-point line.

At this time, Griffin, who was guarding Li Kaiming, also came over. In his mind, he could become an All-Star starter in his second year as a rookie. The gap between himself and Li Kaiming was not as big as imagined, so he wanted to use tonight's game to Prove yourself in front of thousands of fans.

After Li Kaiming caught the ball, he made a fake move. Griffin was clicked but did not take off. It seemed that his defensive habits were pretty good. However, Li Kaiming then dribbled back and then made a fake move to worship the Buddha. Riffin was thrown away.

After passing Griffin, Li Kaiming went to the basket to face Bynum's defense and directly passed a high pass to Howard. The latter dunked with two hands in the air, lighting up the Amway Center!

6 is better than 2!

After the dunk, Howard bared his teeth and smiled at Li Kaiming, and then the two high-fived in celebration.

Howard's brain circuit is relatively simple. Although Li Kaiming robbed him of the All-Star voting crown, if he can be fed to become the MVP of the All-Star Game, it doesn't matter if he gives up the voting crown to Li Kaiming!

When Howard was thinking about his little ninety-nine, the West Coast team went to the frontcourt and gave the ball to Kobe, who hit Wade with a back-up in the mid-range. James went to help his good brother double-team, leaving Durant open. Kobe directly A pass was passed to Durant on the outside, who simply made a three-pointer!

6 is better than 5!

I didn't understand James's defensive choice, but it was hard to say anything about Li Kaiming, who was an All-Star. The intensity of the game was not high at the beginning, and everyone was basically playing around.

The Eastern Conference handed the ball over to James at halftime, and the latter reached out to ask Li Kaiming to come over for a pick-and-roll. Although Li Kaiming was unhappy in every way, he still went over to help James block Durant. With Li Kaiming's cover, James took the ball and advanced into the paint. Then facing Bynum, he forced a layup and scored!

At this time, Howard, who was standing inside and preparing to grab offensive rebounds, seemed to react. James seemed to want to imitate him in getting data in regular time!

I thought about Li Kaiming as an imaginary enemy for several days, but it turned out that the biggest competitor for MVP was James!

Howard immediately became unhappy. You, James, take more shots in regular time and play simple balls, so why should I go there?Is it possible that you are counting on a rough guy like me to attack at critical moments in the game?

And the stars of the Eastern Conference discovered one thing. In addition to being full of firepower on the offensive end, James was also ineffective on the defensive end. In the first quarter of the game, Durant, who he faced off against, was killed by himself. Scored 15 points, and also caused two fouls by Howard...

On the Eastern team, James scored 14 points alone. Others were more restrained in their shots. Li Kaiming hit a high three-pointer and scored 11 points. Dwight Howard, who wanted to win the MVP the most, only scored 2 points, and those 2 points were still The cakes fed by Li Kaiming...

After the end of the first quarter, the Eastern team trailed the Western team by 38 points, 46-8. The second half of the first quarter and the first half of the second quarter were the agreed times for substitute players to come on.

It is an unspoken rule of the All-Star Game that all players selected for the All-Star Game get a chance to play. After all, although there is a distinction between starters and substitutes, even if they are substitutes, they are still among the top 50 most popular players in the entire league. The backbone of every team is not the water cooler of a normal team that doesn't have to play. If the head coach doesn't play these star players, the fans who picked this star will feel very dissatisfied!

For the NBA, fans are the gods of wealth, and coaxing fans is more important than anything else.

The game soon reached the middle of the second quarter, and the rotation lineup was almost complete. Li Kaiming finally got his second chance to play. At this time, the Eastern team trailed the Western team by 54 points, 66 to 12.

At this time, the Eastern Conference's lineup is James, Anthony, Li Kaiming, and Howard. In this lineup, the all-around James will become the team's point guard. After dribbling the ball through halftime, James directly called Li Kaiming to come out for a pick-and-roll. He also discovered , Li Kaiming has very strong control on the outside. After picking and rolling with Li Kaiming, he can use his speed and strength to directly hit the basket.

Play a good abacus!

As expected, Li Kaiming's pick-and-roll created an opportunity for James again. He broke through to the basket and caused a foul on Gasol. After walking to the free throw line, he made two free throws and already scored 20 points!

The commentator lineup for this year's All-Star Game is still TNT's chief commentator Marv Albert and gold medal commentators Steve Kerr and Reggie Miller. Seeing James curling his arms and bulging his biceps in celebration, Albert He laughed and said, "LeBron played an unparalleled dominance in the game tonight. It seems that if the Eastern Conference can win, he will win the All-Star MVP for two consecutive years!"

After hearing these words, Steve Kerr and Reggie Miller, who were nearby, looked at Albert like they were a fool.

This old boy is good when explaining others, but when it comes to James, he is a little stupid.

Reggie Miller coughed, and then said to Albert with an awkward smile on his face, "Domination?"

Albert turned his head, "What, what's the problem?"

Next to him, Steve Kerr's toes were almost deducted from the three-bedroom and one-living room. "Now the Eastern Conference team is still 10 points behind. Why do they dominate?"

"LeBron scored 20 points, the highest score among the stars in the Eastern Conference. Isn't this a manifestation of dominance?"

"Well, Marv, look at the technical statistics. Kevin Durant on the other side has already scored 25 points..."

……

There was a silence for five seconds in the commentary box, and finally Reggie Miller broke the silence, "The game continues, let's see how the Western Conference team plays this round..."

Durant's touch tonight was actually average. He made 6 of 2 three-pointers from the outside, and he threw a lot. But unfortunately, someone was always passed by on the outside. After Durant rushed in, he caused trouble to the Eastern team's inside line. Kill.

Coupled with the influence of the Thunder's three whistles, Howard was fouled 3 times in the half and Durant made 6 free throws.

In this case, James, as the team's point guard, is still immersed in the joy of scoring. Every time he breaks through to the basket and scores or causes a foul, he will stand there and enjoy the cheers of the fans for a while.

By the time of halftime, the Eastern team was already 69 points behind the Western team, 84-15. Li Kaiming played for 14 minutes at halftime and only took 9 shots, scoring 18 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 block. According to this trend, If the fight continues, tonight's MVP will have nothing to do with him...
