231. Youthful debut
Although Tim Duncan has been famous for a long time, his physical talent is far inferior to Dwight Howard, one of the representative stars of the Mesozoic generation, easily won the ball, and the Eastern Army won the right to attack for the first time.
"Aha, the Eastern Conference All-Stars got the opening ball, which is a good momentum. Maybe this will change their past situation of winning less and losing more for the Western Conference."
The All-Star Game will be broadcast live tonight. Their ace combination, Charles Barkley, joined hands with Kenny Smith and Ernie Johnson, appeared in the Stamps Center that night.
However, in addition to the three of them tonight, there were also some more guests. The unprecedented large host group made Barkley very excited because he finally found a person with a worse figure than him. Shaquille O'Neal was invited to participate in the commentary on the game tonight.
Barkley's position on the game tonight is not clear, because everyone knows that he is a loyal fan of Wu Dawei, and at the same time, he does not like the East District All-Star team led by LeBron James.
"Hey, Charles, tell me what you think of the young man tonight. What do you think Wu Dawei will perform tonight? Will his All-Star debut be much worse than you do? People say that your All-Star debut is awkward!"
Shaquille O'Neal couldn't play tricks on the court this year, so he naturally brought his talent to the commentator seat, and Barkley was directly attacked.
He laughed and said, "No matter how inferior you are, you are, you are not as good as you. I remember very clearly the scene when your All-Star debut. You are like a big bear breaking into the party, destroying the original happy atmosphere of the party! Every time I think of your All-Star debut, I can't help but want to complain. God, let this ignorant guy get away!"
"Fatty, don't turn the black and white. In fact, the fans miss me very much!"
Shaquille O'Neal retorted unwillingly, and angered Charles Barkley. He was the most annoying to others about his figure: "You are the fat man, your whole family is the fat man!"
Undoubtedly, the two men in the commentary table stolen some limelight at the beginning. However, the protagonist tonight was ultimately the superstars who played the game on the court. The Eastern Team got the ball rights, and Derek Ross dribbled through the half.
There are many young men on the All-Star Game this year, except Wu Dawei and Thibodeau, and Derek Ross, the boss of Wind City, is undoubtedly one of them.
After halftime, he faced Chris Paul's defense. In the past, Derek Ross accelerated and threw away his opponent, then killed the inside and scored two points. But tonight he chose to pass the ball because LeBron James took the initiative to mention the high position to ask for the ball.
As the most influential star in the league, LeBron James' influence is not only spread across the fan base, but also has a considerable appeal among the players.
James faced Kevin Durant's defense at a high position. James did not try to force Durant, but waved at Wu Dawei and asked him for a pick-and-roll.
Wu Dawei saw what LeBron James meant, and then he ran up and did a pick-and-roll for James. Although he helped others do pick-and-roll. Wu Dawei has done it countless times this season, but for the first time he did a pick-and-roll for James, Wu Dawei still had a strange feeling.
The cooperation between James and Wu Dawei in the high position made the fans scream in the Stamps Center.
Undoubtedly, before the game, what kind of sparks will be created between Wu Dawei and LeBron James in this All-Star Game has always been a topic of talk about by fans. Some people think that Wu Dawei will be in harmony with James in the game without any chemo reaction; some people are even more straightforward. They directly think that the two may have conflicts on the court, or even argue about this.
Of course, some people think that both of them are professional players after all, and they should temporarily abandon their past grudges and cooperate sincerely in such a game to help the Eastern Conference All-Star team win the victory.
Different people have different opinions. But in the end they have to get the answer in the competition.
Now, Wu Dawei's pick-and-roll seems to tell everything, and the two will turn wars into plows in this game.
"Wow~ I'm not mistaken, did Wu Dawei really go up and do a pick-and-roll for James?"
Shaquille O'Neal exclaimed. Barkley despised the fat man who had just stimulated him and said, "Oh, what do you think Wu Dawei was going up?"
"Ha. I originally thought Wu Dawei had an instinctive reaction and went up to help Kevin Durant defend LeBron James, and then gave him a big hat that hit him..."
O'Neal's words made people laugh in the vicinity. Think about how interesting it would be if the situation O'Neal was really happening.
Wu Dawei's pick-and-roll quality was good, and it slightly delayed Kevin Durant's movement. Seeing this, James hurriedly took the ball and rushed to the inside line. Then he dunked with a one-arm to get two points for the Eastern Conference!
The offense and defense were changed, and it was the Western Conference's turn to attack with the ball. People were still enthusiastic about the situation on the court. After Paul took the ball through half the court, he directly passed the ball to Dirk Nowitzki, who was standing in a high position. James took the initiative to defend Kevin Durant. Of course, Nowitzki was responsible for it.
Although Wu Dawei often plays in the third position in the game, and Nowitzki is in the fourth position and even sometimes plays the fifth position, in the two matches between the Cavaliers and the Mavericks this season, Wu Dawei also has experience in playing against Nowitzki.
"Hey, I remember that Wu Dawei seemed to have given Nowitzki a big hat!"
Charles Barkley pays great attention to Wu Dawei this season, not only because Wu Dawei has soared this season, but also has a close relationship with the two now. So basically, sometimes when watching NBA games, Charles Barkley will choose the Cavaliers.
"No wonder Nowitzki is hesitating like a girl now. He remembers his beautiful past with Wu Dawei..."
Barkley hated Shaquille O'Neal because this guy said that he was very good at learning to sing, and he completely stole the limelight in the commentary seat tonight!
Nowitzki held the ball and watched the situation on the court, and then he finally chose to pass the ball, making people more confident about Shaquille O'Neal's previous thoughts. This guy must have remembered that Wu Dawei once overwhelmed him hard and was timid.
The ball passed by Nowitzki was received by Kobe. As the host, Kobe had no idea of giving in tonight. After receiving the ball, he jumped up and faced Dwyne Wade's block in the air. Kobe finished turning in the air and threw the ball into the basket.
Swish!
The 2:2 draw, and the fans all cheered. Although tonight was the All-Star Game, it was held in Los Angeles after all. As the most famous athlete in Los Angeles, Kobe enjoyed unquestionably the popularity.
The ball rights returned to the hands of the Eastern Conference. Derek Ross quickly advanced to the half. Then he also signaled that he needed a pick-and-roll. Wu Dawei and LeBron James gave him a double cover at the high position. Ross took advantage of the situation to rush towards the inside and then added two more points to the Eastern Conference!
4:2.
The pace of the game tonight was quite fast, after all, it was an entertainment game. It was impossible for both sides to try their best. After Derek Ross scored, the Western Team quickly sent the ball. Paul flickered all the way and rushed into the half of the Eastern Team in the blink of an eye. Then he threw the ball high towards the basket.
People's eyes flew with the ball. Then Kevin Durant appeared in the penalty area of the Eastern Army.
Bang!
A wonderful hand filled the basket with great force!
4:4.
Both sides obviously felt very good at the beginning, because neither side missed the shots, and the ball was extremely clean and neat.
"The game started well tonight, and it can be expected that it will be a tense game."
Kenny Smith has a good comment on the start of the situation. One-sided games are obviously boring, so the current situation makes people feel very exciting.
The two sides go back and forth and refuse to give in to each other, which will make you feel a little competitive. If the All-Star Game really turns into an entertainment game, then losing the essence of competition will sometimes make people feel bored.
"That might be possible. If Wu Dawei made two wild blocks on the defensive end, I think the situation would immediately fall to the Eastern Conference."
Charles Barkley finally seized the initiative and said what O'Neal wanted to say. Even though Wu Dawei had not performed well tonight, he had not even received the ball. Tonight's topic was difficult to leave Wu Dawei from beginning to end, which could explain who is the real rumor darling in the league now.
As long as Wu Dawei continues to perform like this, even if he is a team like the Cleveland Cavaliers, which is not a powerful or metropolitan, the league will surely establish a plan to promote Wu Dawei soon.
The game continued. After wandering on the court for a long time, Wu Dawei finally got the opportunity to touch the ball. However, this opportunity was not a good opportunity for attacking the basket. Wu Dawei stood outside the three-point line, Dirk Nowitzki did not lose his position in front of him. After Wu Dawei got the ball from Ross, he didn't know what to do for a while.
This is a stage that newcomers entering the All-Star Game need to go through. After all, it is the first time that they have entered such a high-attention game as the All-Star Game. Sometimes, it is difficult for newcomers to balance the balance between cooperation and doing solo.
Wu Dawei feels like this now. He thought about it and passed the ball out. After all, playing with the ball has never been Wu Dawei's strength. He is more accustomed to getting out of opportunities in this game or cooperating with his teammates. Undoubtedly, if you want to score in the All-Star Game, the ability to do so is the key factor that determines the high score and low scores.
Wu Dawei passed the ball to Dwight Howard, who was stuck in the inside line, because this guy kept shouting: "Hey, Wu, here, here. Come and pass the ball to me and let me give you an assist!"
This man was shameless, because Howard was stabbed at the top, because as soon as Howard received the ball, he was stabbed by Tim Duncan, who was already a fairy... The Western Conference immediately turned into a defense and launched a fast attack. Kevin Durant, who was originally standing at the top of the three-point line, took the lead, and rode out of the way...
The huge distance made Wu Dawei not have the intention to chase the defense. After all, this was just an exhibition match, and fans were happy to see this scene of dunking quickly, so why bother with everyone?
He glanced at Dwight Howard, who had just said he wanted to give himself an assist, said with an innocent look on the Magic center: "This is not bad for me, but don't worry, Wu, I will fulfill my promise to you! Continue to pass it to me next time, I will definitely add an assist to you..."
Howard's words made Wu Dawei ignore this bird man because he thinks Howard must have more topics with Beasley, because their skin is also twice as wide as Tiananmen Square!
With the level of the butterfly hand, he still has the face to continue asking for the ball with him...
Durant's quick-dunk dunk helped the Western Conference gain a leading advantage.
4:6.
Although many topics in this game are inseparable from Dawei Wu, LeBron James and even Kobe, the person who performed the best so far is the Thunder's small forward Kevin Durant.
He currently makes two shots and scores 4 points. And both scores are very exciting dunk performances.
The Eastern Army continued their offense. After Ross took the ball through half the game, he handed the ball to Dwyne Wade and the Flash. He was also a regular visitor in the All-Star Game. After getting the ball, he was much more polite than Wu Dawei, and directly held the ball and attacked the inside.
But Kobe Bryant is not a good target for fooling around. Kobe's serious personality made him quickly get along with Wade. Wade stumbled left and right for a while and did not shake off Kobe, so he took a few steps back and signaled Wu Dawei not far away to come up and make a pick-and-roll for himself.
So far tonight, Wu Dawei feels that he has returned to the most primitive state, that is, he has become an errand running guy. In fact, he has not yet entered the All-Star role and is still a little confused about his positioning.
Yao Ming, who was sitting off the court, looked at his compatriots, smiled, and said to the Chinese reporter beside him: "Dawei's first time is so similar to me! At that time, I was also as ignorant as him, and I didn't know what to do on the court at all..."
Although Yao Ming's words are a bit confusing, after all, the first time such words are always easy to make people think in a wrong way. However, if you think about it carefully, Wu Dawei's current situation is indeed somewhat similar to Yao Ming's first All-Star Game in 2003.
They are all All-Star rookies, they both made the appearance, and the same thing is that they feel a little at a loss on the court.
Even Wu Dawei's agent Bonnie Lauren, who was sitting on the sidelines, couldn't help but shake her head. In her heart, Wu Dawei was really a little too young sometimes. This was the case tonight. I met Emma Roberts outside the dance last night...
Chapter completed!
