149. Walk the Way for Heaven
Although Dwight Howard's previous dunk made the atmosphere in the stadium liven up, the next confrontation between Wu Dawei and Kobe Bryant at a high position was the key to the next.
Everyone focused their attention on the two people confronting outside the three-point line at this time. Kobe held the ball, and Wu Dawei defended one step in front of him.
Facing this player who had already scored 25 points in the game tonight, Wu Dawei had no ups and downs in his heart at this time, that would definitely be a nonsense. In the first match between the Cavaliers and the Lakers this season, Kobe Bryant got a score of 40 points. Although Wu Dawei was not defending Kobe for most of the time, when Wu Dawei replaced the defense to be responsible for defending Kobe, he also felt great pressure!
At this moment, I was naturally cautious in my heart.
LeBron James sat on the bench and also turned his attention to Wu Dawei. His mood once again became entangled because of Wu Dawei's identity as a teammate. If he wanted Wu Dawei to be beaten by Kobe, it would mean that the Western Conference would continue to score.
So while he hoped that Wu Dawei would be beaten by Kobe, he also prayed that the Eastern Conference could hold on, at least until he returned to the court.
As an offensive, Kobe has absolute initiative in the offense. He held the ball and looked at Wu Dawei in front of him, as if he wanted to tell his thoughts from his face, when to focus on his clone.
Wu Dawei stared at the ball in Kobe's hand in front of him without blinking. The two of them made moves almost at the same time! Kobe felt that he had found the gap for Wu Dawei to be distracted, while Wu Dawei relied on his excellent prediction ability and made the same reaction the moment Kobe started!
Kobe's sudden moves did not bring him any turning point, and Wu Dawei was still standing in front of Kobe's eyes. However, the arrow was on the string and had to be fired!
Even though Wu Dawei had already reacted, Kobe still chose to break through with the ball! His idea was very simple, which was to continue to score the ball and then help the team reverse the game.
This idea has remained deeply rooted in Kobe's mind for more than ten years. This is the purpose he pursues on the court, and personal heroism has been brought to the extreme in him!
Kobe held the ball and broke into Wu Dawei's defense. While he stepped on the three-point line, he suddenly jumped up! Kobe's emergency stop jump shot has reached a state of superb level! The smooth movements are indeed as beautiful as the outside world rumored. Kobe has extremely strong self-confidence in his move!
In more than ten years of his career, Kobe has scored at least 10,000 points with this move!
But at this moment, Kobe jumped up and found that there was still a cloud in front of him! He saw something, a palm!
Wu Dawei jumped up the moment Kobe jumped up, and even in LeBron James' eyes, who had been betting on him, Wu Dawei jumped first than Kobe!
The moment this thought appeared in James' mind, he couldn't help but make his scalp numb! What is this!? Superpower!?
Kobe didn't know about this, James was surprised because he was also shocked by the palm that appeared above his head at this time. Because the next second, he felt a downward force coming from his hand. Kobe couldn't stand it and he was blocked!
On the three-point line!
Kobe Bryant's back shot after a quick stop jump shot that he relied on for fame was blocked from the air by Wu Dawei!
"Wow~ God! This is incredible!"
"Damn it! How did he do this ball!"
"Damn, this can also cover it up!"
There were endless exclamations in the stadium, and Wu Dawei did not stop after covering the hat. The ball blocked by him flew towards the front court. Wu Dawei hurriedly ran towards the front court after landing!
He got the ball in the Western Conference half, and then Wu Dawei rushed into the paint area. At this time, he seemed to have suddenly thought of something. Wu Dawei turned his head and saw Dwight who had exhausted all his strength. Howard was rushing towards here with big steps.
Howard's longing eyes were seen by Wu Dawei. He couldn't help but feel that this big man was becoming more and more interesting. Wu Dawei turned his head and threw the ball towards the rebound. He rebounded and Dwight Howard, who came from behind, caught it in the air and dunked violently!
105:111, the score difference was suddenly widened to 6 points!
Dwight Howard also scored 26 points, which made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.
The Western Conference finally narrowed the gap, but after Wu Dawei returned to the court, he was once again pulled apart! The fourth quarter game time was less than before, and the time was about to pass half means that for the two teams, there were very few opportunities left.
Especially for the Western Army, which is currently 6 points behind the Eastern Army, if they really want to win this game tonight, they will not be able to let the score be pulled apart by the Eastern Army!
"So beautiful, Wu Dawei has become the master of both offense and defense again!" Charles Barkley spared no effort to cheer for Wu Dawei all night tonight. At this time, Wu Dawei's performance once again changed the situation on the court. Naturally, Barkley would not miss such an opportunity to praise Wu Dawei. After all, Wu Dawei is still half of Barkley's closed disciple...
"After blocking Kobe Bryant's goal to win, Wu Dawei selflessly gave the goal to Dwight Howard on the offensive end! Half of the 26 points Howard has scored so far is from Wu Dawei's assists. On the road to compete with James for MVP tonight, Howard once again widened the gap between the two!"
Barkley was right. For Kobe, he was determined to win the previous shot. Although Wu Dawei's defense was very good, Kobe never thought that he would be blocked by Kobe!
This made him feel depressed and he couldn't help but feel excited. The serious thought immediately came to his mind again. However, Westbrook did not pass the ball to Kobe next, but handed it to inside Tim Duncan.
Perhaps because of the previous score that Howard was too excited, his defense did not cause any difficulties for Duncan this time.
Duncan scored the ball at a low post. 107:111, and there was still a 4-point gap between the two sides.
The game officially entered the sixth minute of the fourth quarter at this time!
On the Western Conference, Kevin Durant returned to the court after a while resting, while on the Eastern Conference, LeBron James also replaced Cameron Anthony and Derek Ross also played again.
At this time, the game can be said to have officially entered the final critical moment, with victory and defeat here, and the issue of MVP belonging to this All-Star Game will be decided in the last 6 minutes.
Seeing James re-drawing so quickly and Dwight Howard, who was so excited before, immediately frowned and began to feel uneasy. Thinking of LeBron James' performance in the second half of the third quarter, Dwight Howard was a little at a loss.
However, he looked at Wu Dawei beside him and felt a little relieved. He thought that this was the All-Star Game, so James could not be shameless and dominate the ball. When he was with the Heat and the Cavaliers, it was because there were not many people available on the team. Now in this All-Star Game tonight, who on the court is not the main player who averaged 20 points per game?
However, obviously, Dwight Howard still underestimated James' "skin". After returning to the court, Duncan's goal transferred the ball back to the hands of the Eastern Conference. Derek Ross received Wu Dawei's baseline serve and was immediately asked for the ball by LeBron James.
Ross handed the ball to James who ran to the center line. He didn't even look at the defense of Kevin Durant, who was behind the ball, as if he had made up his mind to play singles with the ball before this.
He chose to break through Kevin Durant, and when James rushed into the inside, he also attracted Duncan's double team. At this time, Dwight Howard was freed. Howard opened his hand to ask James for the ball, but the latter ignored him at all.
Under the double attack between Durant and Duncan, James chose to force his attack, and the ball eventually hit the board and entered the frame!
107:113, the Eastern Army led by 6 points again. There were endless cheers in the Amway Center, and Kyrie Nichols was also amazed at James' high-difficulty attack.
Only Howard was extremely depressed. He gritted his teeth and looked at James running back to the half, knowing that this guy was probably going to compete with him for the mvp tonight!
Currently he scored 26 points, and James also scored 23 points. The gap is extremely small, and he even needs only one ball to catch up. This made Howard's heart even more uneasy. Subconsciously, he turned his attention to Wu Dawei, and at the same time he also put his hope on Wu Dawei, who has helped him get many points tonight.
