145. Good friends for life
At the beginning of the second half, the Eastern Conference played a beautiful offensive and defensive performance, they narrowed the gap, and the team's morale gradually increased. The gap became 3 points, but all this seemed to have nothing to do with LeBron and James. Such a scene made James anxious.
The rumor of this game bothered LeBron James. He didn't know when it started, so he cared about the comparison with Wu Dawei. Maybe it was when he was eliminated by the Cleveland Cavaliers led by Wu Dawei in the first round of the playoffs last season, or maybe it was because after the first match between the Cavaliers and the Heat last season.
In short, James now knows that his biggest competitor is not Kobe Bryant, not Kevin Durant, nor Cameron Anthony, but the person who is currently standing on the court, wearing the uniform of the Eastern All-Star Team. This Wu Dawei, who has been overwhelming himself every time this season!
In terms of team record ranking, personal MVP ranking, and even in scoring and rebounding statistics, he basically cannot gain a slight advantage in front of Wu Dawei except for a slight assist.
This was absolutely impossible in the past. James has never been suppressed like this since he became famous in junior high school. Wu Dawei not only did it, but now he has done very well and time has continued.
This is also one of the reasons why James always wants to defeat Wu Dawei, because in front of Wu Dawei, he always fails and is always at a disadvantage and is always the weak!
Seeing Wu Dawei and Dwight Howard celebrating each other, James ran back to the half. Although the goal just now had nothing to do with him, James felt that his cheeks were a little hot...
Maybe it was the earnest gaze of the fans who supported him on the sidelines or the contemptuous expressions of Wu Dawei's supporters, which made James feel a little ashamed. Think about his jokes about Wu Dawei at the end of this afternoon's training class. Inexplicably, James actually felt a little regret!?
Emperor James actually feels regretful!? How is this possible!
James shook his head and tried to put such thoughts aside. He ran back to the half, and the Western Conference's offense had already followed one after another. Chris Paul's advancement was very fast. After halftime, he attacked the inside without stopping.
Dwight Howard, who had just finished blocking Paul, seems so excited that Paul deceived him with a fake move. Paul made a layup in the inside, scoring 2 points for the Western Conference at such a critical moment!
79:74.
The supporters of the Western Army breathed a little relieved. The momentum of the Eastern Army's pursuit of points just now did look extremely fierce. Paul's breakthrough can be said to have played a role in stabilizing the morale of the army.
However, LeBron James quickly ran through the half with the ball. After receiving the ball in the backcourt, he acted as a playback, and then quickly passed the half and then faced Kevin Durant's defense. James squeezed out the latter with his strong body and successfully dunked violently in the inside!
79:76.
However, before the Eastern Conference could celebrate, the Western Conference scored again. This time it was Kobe Bryant, who controlled the ball and played Wade alone, and a difficult backward jump shot. Kobe added two more points in front of Wade.
The scores rose against each other. Although the Eastern Army still did not catch up with the Western Army, their chasing behind the Western Army inevitably made people feel worried about the Western Army. No one dared to blink a little behind him, because no one knew whether there would be a flip match in the next second.
Dwight Howard was a little anxious at this time, because he only scored 2 points in the second half, and his current total score was only 16 points, while LeBron James had already scored 13 points. Since he had some desire for MVP in this All-Star Game, Howard naturally cared about it.
Derek Ross passed the half-time possession, but he did not pass it to James, but chose to pass Wu Dawei's pick-and-roll and handed the ball to Dwight Howard, who had been waving at him.
Howard stuck in the position at the low post, and Paul Gasol was no match for Howard in terms of strength. After Howard got the ball, he singled the latter, but at this time Gasol's long arm showed an advantage!
Howard's little hook hand turned around was actually covered!
There was a sound of cheering for Gasol in the stadium, but the ball blocked by Gasol was taken by Wu Dawei who rushed in.
"Transfer to me!"
Immediately, a few shouts rang out in Wu Dawei's ears. He could easily hear LeBron James' loud voice in it, but Wu Dawei didn't look at him at all. Instead, he continued to take a big step in and shoot after getting the ball!
Gasol, who had just finished blocking, dared not neglect at this time. He wanted to have a second consecutive block, so he rushed up with a pair of long arms!
Wu Dawei was not afraid at all, and he jumped up toward Gasol!
The two of them were about to collide in the air, but the next second, the ball in Wu Dawei's hand disappeared! It appeared in Dwight Howard's hand!
"Good friend, lifelong!"
Wu Dawei's internal cooperation made Gasol, who was jumping in the air, lose sight of the other side. He only heard a metal explosion from behind him!
81:78!
"It's pretty, gay!"
Dwight Howard was extremely excited. Gasol's blocking shot made him feel disheartened, but Wu Dawei saved him. Howard hit Wu Dawei's chest suddenly and shouted: "Let me knock another one!"
The Eastern Army once again narrowed the gap to 3 points, but they must play a successful defense next to have the opportunity to continue narrowing the gap.
The next defense naturally became the top priority! Chris Paul dribbled the ball through halftime, and at this time, he had played for 4 minutes in the third quarter. In the smooth offensive and defensive rounds of both sides, time passed quickly.
After halftime, Paul chose to play a pick-and-roll with Paul Gasol at the high position. It mentioned that Gasol from the high position had the ability to shoot long distances, so Dwight Howard hurriedly followed.
Paul's ability to play pick-and-roll is also one of the top players in the league. Paul found a chance to break through Gasol's pick-and-roll. He waved the ball to the side and rushed into the paint area.
At this time, Gasol did not follow him and went down. The paint area was empty, which was of course an excellent opportunity for Paul. He rushed into the paint area without hesitation! He traveled smoothly along the way, because Paul was extremely fast. He pushed the paint area and then jumped up quickly, not wanting to give anyone time to react.
Paul leaped high and raised his right hand holding the ball high, and then tried to lower the ball into the basket as everyone watched! But at this moment, Chris Paul, who was still empty in front of him, suddenly noticed a figure flying from the side when he jumped up in the paint area!
Fast and fierce, when Chris Paul realized that the person was going to block him, it was too late! Wu Dawei relied on his height advantage, although he jumped backwards, but he still slapped Paul's ball towards the basket and flew away!
Dwight Howard, who followed behind, got the ball, and with the sound of boiling in the arena, the Eastern Army attacked the half-time like a tide!
However, the Western Army retreated quite quickly, so Ross stopped and reorganized the attack after not finding any opportunity for a fast attack. After everyone returned to their posts, Ross passed the ball to Wu Dawei.
Because he saw Howard stuck on Wu Dawei's side. Although Ross and Howard were not familiar, this place was Orlando, and everyone would have some understanding.
After Wu Dawei got the ball, he passed the ball in. Dwight Howard held the ball in the inside, and Paul Gasol couldn't bear Howard's strength behind him. Howard quickly squeezed into the paint area and was soon encountered double-teaming.
Kevin Durant and Blake Griffin, who were responsible for defending Wu Dawei and James, quickly contracted in. The three of them attacked Howard must have suffered, so at the moment when the attack was completed, Howard passed the ball!
It was passed to Wu Dawei!
At this time, Wu Dawei stood outside the three-point line! 81:78, the score difference between the two sides was only 3 points. After Wu Dawei got the ball, there was no one around him. Then he raised his hand and the basketball was raised by him. People knew what Wu Dawei wanted to do, so many fans who supported the Eastern Army had even stood up!
Even Kyrie Nichols began to pray for Wu Dawei in his heart.
Wu Dawei jumped in the air without any interference, just like the usual training in the training hall. It feels comfortable to have a comfortable shooting space!
The basketball flew out from Wu Dawei's fingertips and flew towards the basket. No one could stop it from flying. All everyone on the court could do was raise their heads and stare at the destination where the ball flew toward!
Swish!
The ball drilled into the net!
Not at all dragging on the verge of being a sharp shooter who is always trying to win!
Wu Dawei clenched his fists and shouted secretly, and Dwight Howard rushed up: "Beautiful job, gay!" The score was equalized, and he was the star with the most points in the Eastern Conference. Thanks Wu Dawei! (To be continued...)
Chapter completed!
