139. Fuse
The two did not fight as they wished, because Derek Ross relied on pick-and-roll to break through to the inside to complete a layup, which made a good start for the Eastern Conference, which may be destined to be "distant and difficult" tonight.
Cheers rang out in the stadium. After all, this is the home court of the Eastern Conference. The fans were worried that the Eastern Conference would be divided due to the internal strife between Wu Dawei and James.
Now the team successfully won the first goal at the beginning, and there is no reason for the fans to be unhappy. However, this scene made those who hoped that some chaos in this game felt a little disappointed.
The Western Conference won the ball rights and the game continued. Chris Paul dribbled the ball and ran through the half. He led the rhythm on the court. After flashing and moving, Chris Paul rushed into the inside and split the ball. Kobe Bryant scored a shot from the outside.
The Western Conference quickly tied the score. Chris Paul's series of quick breakthroughs made people frightened, but David Stern, who was sitting in the audience, didn't pay any attention to it at all. He betted on Wu Dawei and James, hoping that this game could be safely spent.
In fact, the majority of people hope that this game will be completed safely, and only those with ulterior motives will hope that an accident will happen.
The ball rights returned to the hands of the Eastern Conference. Derek Ross once again took the ball through halftime. When fans were guessing who he would choose to pick and roll for him, Derek Ross passed the ball out.
It was passed to Dwight Howard, who was in the inside line, after all, Howard was the landlord of the game tonight, so it was reasonable to take care of him more.
Howard resisted Paul Gasol in the interior, and a small hook that turned around, Dwight Howard helped the Eastern Conference add another two points.
The first minute of the game basically has nothing to do with Wu Dawei and James. Everyone can see that, both of them are more or less enduring their desire for the ball.
James is a player with a strong desire to control, and in the Miami Heat, the ball rights are basically in his hands; and Wu Dawei's average score increases this season, and the demand for ball rights is also increasing day by day.
This season, Wu Dawei's ball possession rate in the team has soared from 14% last season to 24% this season!
The ten percentage points increase is enough to say everything.
Back on the defensive end, Chris Paul was still very fast. Obviously, as a defender who has participated in many All-Star games, Paul knew what kind of game the fans wanted to see the most.
It’s not the kind of game that follows the rules, you and me, but the fierce round trip!
Paul dribbled the ball into the inside line, and then he chose to pass the ball again after being blocked by Dwight Howard, but when the ball arrived at the next Western Conference player, a blue and white figure suddenly jumped out and intercepted the ball!
Wu Dawei completed the steal and made cheers sound in the stadium, because the Eastern Army then launched a fast attack!
People were looking forward to it and suddenly became interested. Because Wu Dawei ran towards the front court with the ball, Kobe Bryant was extremely serious in front of him. People felt that it was basically impossible for Wu Dawei to score in front of Kobe easily, so he would most likely choose to pass the ball to his teammates.
At this time, the person who echoed Wu Dawei on the other side of the court was... LeBron James!
Will Wu Dawei pass it to him?
This is what everyone thinks at this moment. Everyone has a different view at this moment.
"Wu Dawei will definitely not pass it to James!" Only the fat man Charles Barkley, who was sitting in front of the commentator, expressed his thoughts.
Wu Dawei had already rushed to the paint area, and Kobe no longer gave him space to move forward, so he was almost stopped by Kobe, and at this time, people's hearts were also raised to their throats!
I am not worried about whether Wu Dawei will be defended by Kobe, but I am looking forward to Wu Dawei's choice!
He passed the ball!
People were shocked, a little comforted and a little disappointed; but it was not James! This made everyone look forward to it. Because James' position at this time was the easiest position for the Eastern Army to score, and he had no defense, but Wu Dawei did not pass it to him!
Bang!
A loud bang exploded in the paint area of the Western Army. Dwight Howard's flying hands made the atmosphere in the audience reach a high level. No matter what, Dwight Howard is a local star in Orlando, so fans naturally have to applaud him.
However, there was some inexplicable smell in the applause at this time. The reason was very simple. Wu Dawei really ignored LeBron James. No one knew whether Wu Dawei did it on purpose. After all, the distance between James and him was so close that he could not see it.
But who knows, maybe others really don’t see it.
"The pass is beautiful, man!" Dwight Howard didn't care whether Wu Dawei saw James or not. He was excited about Wu Dawei's passing, and he had a high-five with Wu Dawei. Howard said excitedly: "My MVP trophy depends on you!"
Wu Dawei and Howard celebrated in the frontcourt, while James ran back straight away. At this time, people could easily feel that James must be unhappy!
The good show is about to begin!
Seeing this scene of being in harmony with one's own soul, many people who stared at the fun were delighted. For them, watching two superstars clash on the court is much more interesting than watching a game. Moreover, these two superstars are still in the same team!
This is really interesting!
The ball was back in the hands of the Western Conference. The mistake just now did not make Chris Paul shrunk his hands on the court. He still dribbled the ball quickly through the frontcourt, but this time he did not find any good opportunities, so he passed the ball to Kevin Durant beside him.
Durant faced James with the ball at a high position, and then he broke into the three-point line and made a jump shot. Although James is extremely dominant and creative on the court, the gap between him and Wu Dawei on the defensive end is indeed quite large. This is also the reason why Wu Dawei is currently better than James.
James once tried to work hard on defense, and he is also one of the best defensive players in the league at present; but there is still a big gap with Wu Dawei, and he cannot make himself able to achieve Wu Dawei's dominance and deterrence on the defensive end. He is one of the best defensive players in the league, and Wu Dawei is the best one!
Durant's goal made the score 4:6, and the Eastern Team still leads by two points against whom. Although the current situation of the Eastern Team is good, the Eastern Team's head coach Byron Scott's brows on the sidelines were much more wrinkled than the Western Team's head coach Brooks...
Wu Dawei's choice cannot be said to be wrong. After all, Dwight Howard also contributed a very exciting dunk. Judging from the situation at that time, LeBron James should undoubtedly be the first choice.
No one knows what impact Wu Dawei's choice will have on the game. In short, Scott is a little uneasy. He doesn't want Wu Dawei to have any surprises because of the All-Star Game. As the head coach of the Cavaliers, Scott hopes that the player he depends most will be able to spend this All-Star Carnival safely.
Derek Ross once again brought the ball to the frontcourt. The young defender passed the ball to LeBron James who came forward to ask for the ball. Then he began to show his desire to control the court, and he began to direct his teammates' running position.
This is rare in the All-Star Game, because people basically don’t play seriously. Every attack is to make a more exciting attack to please the fans. And such a stern tactical cooperation is quite rare in the All-Star Game.
Come here!
Some people were ready to move again. In their opinion, this was James' counterattack against Wu Dawei who had not passed the ball to him before.
What surprised them was that Wu Dawei actually ran on the court. They thought Wu Dawei would not care about James's dispatch, but Wu Dawei finally ran. However, Wu Dawei ran from the bottom corner on one side to the bottom corner on the other side, and then stopped moving.
LeBron James obviously did not "note" Wu Dawei. He chose to cooperate with Dwayne Wade in a pick-and-roll at a high position, and then broke through to the inside to complete a violent dunk!
4:8, although many people were worried about the Eastern All-Star team before the start of this game, the Eastern Team's performance was quite good after the start of the game.
Before the start of this game, Wu Dawei and James both made some outstanding performances. Wu Dawei's steals and James' dunks were one to help the Eastern Conference establish a leading advantage, while the other to directly help the team expand the leading score.
But even so, people still won’t relax their vigilance like this, feeling that there is no problem with the Eastern Conference. When Wu Dawei was about to get off, he did not choose to pass the ball to LeBron James, who was better, but passed it to Dwight Howard, which is undoubtedly very likely to become a fuse for conflict in this game tonight…
So even though the Eastern Army was 4 points ahead of the Western Army at this time, many people still focused their attention from time to time to swing between Wu Dawei and LeBron James, afraid that they would miss some fleeting moment... (To be continued. Mobile phone users please read it.)
