Chapter 115 Kobe, remember, you owe me an MVP!(1/2)
"108 to 107, the All-Star Game can actually be like this in three quarters!"
"The exciting part of the competition is not that the score is high, but that everyone is working hard. This competitive spirit of not giving in to each other and competing against each other is the most valuable one."
"The crazy scoring performance of the stars is also the biggest highlight of this All-Star Game!"
After the third quarter, the scores of the two teams in the east and west were not widened, but narrowed to one point.
It is also quite bizarre for the two teams to score 100 in three quarters.
In previous years, there was basically no defense in the first three quarters, and it was not without hope for scoring over 100 in three quarters.
But this year, everyone was serious in the first three quarters. Although they were serious and showed their operations, their defense was very good, but their scores were still considerable.
Although the players are shooting in a flash, the problem is that they do not have a particularly high turnover rate.
All in all, this All-Star Game is outrageous, but it is also exciting.
Because there are many timeouts and the number of free throws is also quite large, it took almost an hour and a half to play after three quarters.
But even so, the fans at the scene had a very high kidney function, and few of them went to the toilet.
It would be fine if male audiences did this, but female audiences were the same.
After hearing about this, a diaper brand immediately contacted the NBA headquarters to apply for advertising in the All-Star Game next year. Of course, this is all a story.
"Jason, we need you. Now you are among us, the most physically strong!" The fourth quarter is about to begin, and He Li comes to Kidd.
In the All-Star Game East, the Western Conference team has a total of 12 players. If you don’t defend carefully in the first three quarters, let alone 12 players, even if you reduce half of the players, there are only 6 players. They will still have a lot of physical strength until the fourth quarter.
But the first three quarters were all real and shot at each shot. Everyone's physical strength was a problem, especially several inside players.
There are fewer inside players in the Eastern Conference, but now they are even more struggling.
There is no big problem for inside players in the Western Conference, but most of the outside players, except Kobe and Payton, have poor defense.
Kobe, because he was defending too seriously in front, he consumed a lot of physical strength.
The offensive efficiency in the third quarter was greatly reduced, not as high as the first half. If this continues, Kobe will sooner or later return to the regular season three-yang-and-two-iron state.
At present, the Eastern Conference hopes that someone will stand up and let Kobe enter the undercover mode of Sanyanghua and Eryao in advance.
Iverson wanted to defend, but his height was really unaware of it.
Kidd is now physically strong and has stronger defensive ability, which is just right for this job.
However, George Carl ignored Kidd before, and Kidd didn't get much time to play. Now he has been ordered to take the initiative to do dirty work and work on the court. Will Kidd be willing?
This is really hard to say.
Now the initiative is coming to Kidd's hands.
Kid had a premonition before, and he had already thought about the words "You think of me now? Why did you do it long ago?", which made it difficult for George Carl, but he didn't want He Li to be the lobbyist now.
Then...
Of course I forgive him!
"I'm ready! Let's win today's game together!" As a team player, Kidd showed his selfless side.
In the fourth quarter, the two teams started.
East: Kidd, Ray Allen, Pierce, Heli, Mourning.
West: Nash, Kobe, Szebiak, Peja, Garnett.
It can be seen that the All-Star starter mainly has the energy to play in the second half, while the substitute still has a few minutes to play.
As long as either side breaks the deadlock ahead of time, the other side will inevitably pull the starter up and directly rush.
However, today's game is really not redundant.
Kobe came up to face Kidd's defense and fell back with difficulty.
As a result, this fairy ball just strolled around the edge of the basket and then slid into the basket.
The West just led a three-pointer, and He Li quickly received a pass from Kidd and made a 45-degree three-pointer from the left.
“Answer Ball!”
He Li also threw the ball into the basket by leaning back, and three-pointers are more valuable than two points.
110 to 110, the two teams tied again.
Next, the two teams faced the top again, and the scores rose staggered.
Until 5 and a half minutes in the fourth quarter, Old Nelson took the lead in calling for a timeout and replaced the main force.
In fact, the West is not much behind.
When the substitution was replaced, the score on the field was only 121 to 123.
However, since the western bird guns have been replaced, the eastern side naturally needs to open fire.
George Carl replaced Ray Allen with Jordan, replaced Pierce with O'Neal Jr., and replaced Uncle Mu in the center.
To be honest, although George Carl advocates playing offensive basketball, this does not mean that he does not know whose defense is better, and the role and value of the lineup height on the team's defense.
It is obvious that the current lineup of the Eastern Conference is stronger than the pure starting lineup.
The same is true in the West. Payton, Kobe, Webber, Garnett, and Duncan, there is no weak defense, but Kobe and Garnett have played for a while.
Although He Li has been playing for a long time, this All-Star Game is basically the player with the most playing time except Kobe.
He Li has played for 32 minutes. If he plays the game in full, he will score 38 points in the whole game. This is a time that tests the player's physical strength distribution ability.
If you really have to worry about it, He Li's ability to distribute physical strength is definitely not as good as Kobe and Garnett, but He Li's appearance in the fourth quarter was mainly to help organize and open up space.
Although He Li is an inside player, he has the ability to respond and long-range shooting that most inside players do not have.
With the projection threat of the three-point king, He Li must lead Weber and Garnett to take away one of them when standing on the outside.
In the East, Jordan will attract defense and Kidd will sort out the offense. At that time, the offensive space in the East will be extremely comfortable.
However, looking at the west side, although the space is not very good, the inside line is full of talents.
The Western Conference launched a new offensive, and Kobe stopped attacking. Payton passed the ball to Garnett. Garnett singled O'Neal Jr., but after he just flew O'Neal Jr., he was the most familiar iron-blooded jump shot.
It was at this moment that the big hand of the sky suddenly appeared on the right side of the ball. Before Garnett threw the ball, he was slapped away by He Li's palm.
"KG, when I don't exist? Show off my skills!"
Although He Li and Garnett had only fought twice before, today is the third time.
But He Li shot similar balls by himself, almost a hundred times in the official game alone, not to mention that in daily training, there were thousands of times.
He Li doesn't know much about the iron-blooded jump shot.
Garnett shot this kind of ball without him at all. Isn’t this a look for a cover?
Having said that, Kid picked up the ball and started pushing forward.
Jordan followed up with a fast break, and Kobe and Payton followed, but could not defend against Jordan starting from the free throw line.
Kidd found the right time to pass the ball, and saw that on the field, the ferryman who was not at the peak took off again.
"All-attacked a big windmill dunk! This is MJ's fourth dunk in this game!"
The Eastern Conference scored just 4 points ahead, and the Western Conference attacked again. Duncan took the ball and played the board without any solution, and the close score was closer.
Then O'Neal Jr. missed the iron, but was hit by the West in a fast break, and Payton made a layup.
125 to 125, the game became anxious again.
However, at this point, He Li received a pass from Kidd, made a sudden arrow and suddenly hit a three-pointer.
"This is the strength of the three-pointer king!"
"He Li can score points, and he can get a lot of points, but He Li doesn't have much desire to show his feelings today!
But at this critical moment, He Li had to stand up!
If He Li doesn’t stand up, the Eastern Army might lose!”
"That's right, before that, He Li made 7 of 11 shots, 2 of 4 three-pointers and 2 of 2 free throws, and had already scored 18 points, 11 rebounds and 12 assists triple-double data.
It can be seen that He Li wants to help MJ fight for MVP!
It's just a pity that the Western Army is too strong. If the Eastern Army cannot be stronger and more accurate than the Western Army, then they can only do their best to win.
Rather than selectively focusing honor on a specific goal.”
"He Li's style of play is undoubtedly selfless, and He Li's character is also extremely humble. But at this critical moment, the strong people in the team should indeed be borne by the strong men in the team. I am actually very happy to see He Li take such a decisive move!"
"Yes, He Li never ruthlessly at critical moments. If you should score, don't pass the ball!"
While explaining and affirming He Li, Kidd was also very excited.
"It's so easy to assist?"
Kidd suddenly realized that passing the ball to He Li would be addicted.
Before he knew it, Kidd had 4 assists! Half of them came from He Li, but Kidd only passed 3 goals to He Li, and He Li's assist conversion rate was simply outrageous!
Next, the West relied on Ko's breakthrough to pass the ball, and the Ke Dai cooperated with Duncan, and Duncan scored smoothly.
