238. Popular defensive ability
Another extremely successful interception!
In one-on-one, Wu Dawei made Kevin Durant unreasonable this time.
Wu Dawei, who cut off the ball, also sent out his third assist that night. He found Joe Johnson at the far end with a long pass, and the Eagles completed the score in the frontcourt.
78:78, the score was equalized!
At this time, there are 6 minutes left in the third quarter, which means that after the Eastern Conference exerted its strength in the third quarter, it took only half a quarter to catch up with the score. Then if the plot develops, it will naturally be the performance time for the Eastern Conference All-Stars team.
But of course the Western Conference would not just surrender. After all, they were the leaders on the court a few minutes ago, not to mention that they are now playing at home.
After the Eastern Army caught up with the score, the two sides once again fell into a stalemate. Kobe Bryant and Kevin Durant were both extremely competitive. Faced with such "provocations" as Wu Dawei, they naturally would not be left behind.
Especially Kobe, although he will talk and laugh with Wu Dawei after scoring, he will never take a step back on the court.
At the same time, Wu Dawei, who had snatched the Western Army four times in half a quarter, certainly would not let go. He played for 9 minutes in the third quarter. After contributing 4 steals in the first six minutes, Wu Dawei contributed another steal and a big hat to the Eastern Army in the next three minutes!
At the same time, Wu Dawei scored 8 points and 5 assists during the 9-minute playing time in this quarter.
The data of 8 points, 5 steals, 5 assists and 1 block in a single quarter allowed Wu Dawei to break the embarrassing record of zero duck eggs in the first half. At the same time, such data was achieved in one quarter, which was also very shocking at Wu Dawei's explosive power on the court.
When the game was about 3 minutes left in the third quarter, Wu Dawei was replaced by Eastern Team head coach Tom Thibodeau with Cameron Anthony. Seeing that Wu Dawei finally got out of the court, the Western Team stars on the court were relieved.
At least they no longer have to worry about the offensive end, for fear that they would suddenly jump out by a figure just one step away from the basket and snatch the goods and cover the ball...
It can be seen that what Wu Dawei did in this quarter was not only to help the team equalize the score and play gorgeous data; at the same time, his extremely outstanding performance on the defensive end also left an inexplicable deterrent in the hearts of the opponent.
Of course, this feeling is not only left to the Western Conference stars, but also to the Western Conference stars, and the fans sitting on the sidelines. No one likes to see their favorite stars intercepted the ball and blocked the shot on the All-Star Game stage, because this is extremely embarrassing.
Of course, not all the fans on the sidelines were Western fans, and there were also Chinese fans who came to the scene and some white and black fans who like Wu Dawei. Their performance in this regard was naturally completely different from other fans. Wu Dawei's outstanding performance in this quarter wiped out their disappointment in the first half.
It was like Henry, who, after enduring the ridicule of his cousin Emma Roberts for one half-time, Henry could finally fight back against his cousin with a arrogant attitude. And looking at Emma's speechless expression, Henry was so happy in his heart.
Wu Dawei's performance was of course not only happy about Wu Dawei's friends, but the fans were most excited about himself. He has scored 8 points now, and the highest score in the game was Kobe Bryant of the Western Conference, with 16 points.
Although Kobe's score is twice as high as Wu Dawei, as long as the Eastern Conference wins, Kobe will still be unable to win the All-Star MVP trophy; therefore, Wu Dawei's main competitor is still in the Eastern Conference.
Currently, the highest scorer among the Eastern Conference is LeBron James's 15 points and 7 points gap. Wu Dawei still has the opportunity to compete for it. Perhaps Wu Dawei doesn't even have to get as many points as LeBron James, and he may get such an honor.
Because his performance in other aspects is so outstanding that many people will talk about it at this moment.
In the commentary seat, Charles Barkley had a deep affection for Wu Dawei, so naturally, he would keep saying good things to Wu Dawei there. Now, Barkley's favorite player in this league may be Wu Dawei.
Not only because Wu Dawei was once a close disciple for Barkley for several days, but also because Charles Barkley likes Wu Dawei's playing style, especially Wu Dawei's performance on the defensive end.
Barkley calls Wu Dawei's strength on the defensive end a real man's performance! Many people know that Sir Charles Barkley has always scoffed at inside players who like to work outside. Of course, he advocates the kind of hardliner players.
For example, tough inside attack on the offensive end, and tough personal defense on the defensive end!
"It's no exaggeration to say that Wu Dawei dominated the third quarter!" When Charles Barkley saw Wu Dawei being replaced by the Eastern Team's head coach Tom Thibodeau, he couldn't help but extend the topic to Wu Dawei: "If Wu Dawei hadn't had those key steals in the third quarter, maybe the Western Team had won tonight's game! He could really turn the tide tonight!"
"Wu Dawei must have never thought before he came to Los Angeles. The situation where he saved the weak Cavaliers several times this season actually happened in the All-Star game!"
Kenny Smith did not sing the opposite tune with Barkley this time, and began to sing the scene of a woman following her husband.
Although Shaquille O'Neal has been working against Charles Barkley tonight, at this point, after personally experiencing the third quarter, O'Neal did not fully agree with what Barkley said, but also had similar views.
Wu Dawei's performance in the third quarter is definitely a key factor for the Eastern Army. In the first six minutes, he successfully made four consecutive steals on the defensive end. While Wu Dawei fully demonstrated his strength, he also brought the Eastern Army that was on the verge of falling to the bottom.
This is indeed very similar to his relationship with the Cavaliers this season.
After Wu Dawei's game continued, and the two sides were still fighting each other on the court. The counterattack frenzy led by Wu Dawei did not appear again. The commentator on the sidelines was tirelessly praising Wu Dawei's previous performance, and Wu Dawei, who was sitting on the bench, was also bombarded by Dwight Howard.
"Hey, Wu. You must have any tricks on practicing defense, right?"
Dwight Howard was also stunned when he sat off the court. Naturally, he wanted to find out at this time. As a member of Wu Dawei's previous performance on the defensive end, Howard, who once won the best defensive player in the league and also a member of the best defensive team in the league, also has a considerable interest in defense.
Seeing those opponents losing their defense when facing their own defense, Howard felt an indescribable sense of pleasure.
Half the season, the Magic have never fought with the Cavaliers. Naturally, Howard's defense against Wu Dawei was only heard but never seen him. This time, he witnessed Wu Dawei's strong performance on the defensive end in the All-Star arena. Even Howard, who is also a defensive player, couldn't help but want to learn from Wu Dawei.
Such accurate judgment ability is really rare!
Howard's hungry expression was seen by Wu Dawei. He understood what Howard meant, but Wu Dawei was really helpless about it. He curled his lips and spread his hands and expressed his disagreement.
It looked like he didn't want to spread the story, but it did not dispel Howard's enthusiasm for it.
"Hey, Wu. Although we both have known each other for a while, I believe we will be very good friends! Do you know, buddy, from the first sight of you, I have been sure that it was God's will that made us brothers!"
Howard said devoutly, but Wu Dawei wanted to laugh at it no matter how he heard it...
This guy's lies technique is really cosmic. No wonder he can say that he is to save the hearts of the fallen women...
Sure enough, she is worthy of being the spiritual mentor of the fallen women...
"Maybe we can go training together this summer! How about it in Los Angeles?!"
Howard became more and more excited as he spoke. It can be seen that he really attaches great importance to Wu Dawei's defensive ability. Such a kind invitation surprised Wu Dawei. Not only because he and Dwight Howard had just met him, but also because there is still a long time before the summer offseason...
Howard's proposal is too forward-looking...
Wu Dawei did not talk too much with Dwight Howard on this topic. After having a fantastic performance in the third quarter, Wu Dawei paid more attention to the situation on the court than in the first half.
He is increasingly eager to play games, of course, it is different from the idea in the first half. Because he seems to feel that the honor he can get from the first NBA career is becoming more and more fulfilling!
The Most Valuable Player Award in the All-Star Game!
The third quarter continued after Wu Dawei left the court, but the stars of the Eastern Conference failed to continue the wonderful defensive counterattacks that the team led by Wu Dawei had previously been played, but instead fell into a passive position again.
At the end of the third quarter, the score became 88:91, and the Eastern Army was 3 points behind. When the fourth quarter game began, the Eastern Army soon changed from 3 points to 5 points.
The Western Army has the advantage of home court, so naturally it is more harder than the Eastern Army. At this time, the Eastern Army head coach Tom Thibodeau, who had just relaxed his eyebrows for a while, immediately thought of Wu Dawei.
Chapter completed!
