James' goal, the Eastern Conference re-established the advantage of 6 points, but Dwight Howard was the most unhappy person because James turned a blind eye to his open space before and chose a very unreasonable projection.
Howard's disgust towards James naturally rose to a higher level.
Back to the defensive end, the Western Conference will certainly not give up the hope of winning this game so easily. Although they are currently 6 points behind, and this game is just an entertainment game, but in recent years, things happen from the All-Star game to the last second have happened from time to time.
The score behind now is only 6 points, not 16 points, so the Western Army will naturally not lose so easily.
Chris Paul also returned to the court with Kevin Durant. At this time, he dribbled the ball through halftime and seemed very cautious, because the game time had officially entered the last moment and could not tolerate any mistakes.
Another mistake may lead to a failure in the entire game. Chris Paul first played a pick-and-roll with Kevin Durant at a high position, and then with the help of this pick-and-roll, he forced the Eastern Conference to complete the defense replacement.
When James appeared in front of Paul, Paul chose to pass the ball to Kevin Durant Durant after receiving the ball, facing Derek Ross' defense, and jumped up to shoot directly on the three-point line!
The basketball crawled into the basket with a silence, and 109:113. Although the Western Army lags behind the Eastern Army in terms of scores, they still tightly grasped the score.
The difference between two points is like the big stone in the hearts of people who came to Amway Center tonight. The feeling of being unable to fall off makes people extremely nervous.
Derek Ross brought the ball through the half and the score difference was narrowed to 4 points, so the Eastern Army naturally had to be more careful in this next attack. When James came on the court, the person who was most worried was not from the Western Army, but Dwight Howard.
Because he was afraid that James would take over the ball right from the beginning. After all, Howard is the center and he needs other people's feeding balls, but James is different. As a player known as an organized forward, James is the undisputed controller of the ball, whether in the Cleveland Cavaliers or now in the Miami Heat.
Fortunately, Ross did not hand over the ball to James this time, but he did not give it to anyone else. Ross chose to attack with the ball, helping the Eastern Conference add two points.
The score became 109:115, and the situation of taking the lead by 6 points again made the players of the Eastern Conference temporarily relieved. Although Dwight Howard did not receive the ball this time, James did not make any moves, which made him feel relieved.
The game is still going on. Looking back, Kobe Bryant received a pass from Paul in the frontcourt, and once again faced Wu Dawei's defense. Kobe was more cautious than before. The previous blocks were still vivid in Kobe's mind, so naturally, Kobe did not dare to underestimate Wu Dawei's defense at this time.
In the last time the Cavaliers and the Lakers confronted the game, although Kobe scored the highest 40 points, after Wu Dawei was defended in the second half, only Kobe himself knew the hardships.
He recruited Duncan from the low post to make a high pick-and-roll for himself. Then, with the help of the pick-and-roll, Wu Dawei unexpectedly quickly got rid of Duncan's block, and then posted it again before Kobe rushed into the paint area. Seeing this, Kobe was really shocked, but at this time he rarely saw the situation on the court.
Wu Dawei's defense was very fast. Howard also made up for defense before. Duncan, who was thrown away, had no one to defend at this time. He had already rushed into the paint area. Kobe passed the ball with a trembling wrist!
Duncan, who was down, got the ball. Then he turned around and jumped up. His hands were raised high and obviously he wanted to use his hands to rig up and slamming. People were almost going to applaud this exquisite cooperation and dunk, but the next second, there was a loud noise!
Bang!
Duncan was bound to win the block, and was slapped by Wu Dawei who came from behind!
Kobe and Duncan made a wonderful cooperation, which made people couldn't help but applaud him, but in the next second, all of this became the background of Wu Dawei's magical blocking this time! It further highlighted the difficulty of Wu Dawei's blocking this time!
"Wow~ The game has entered Wu Dawei's rhythm again! It's incredible. The Western Conference cannot overcome Wu Dawei's hurdle on the defensive end. I have forgotten that this is the goal that the Western Conference destroyed in the recent time is bound to win! Although Wu Dawei did not break the record again and again with terrifying steals tonight like last season, his defensive ability is still enough to make anyone feel collapsed!"
Charles Barkley had already screamed tonight, but Wu Dawei was still giving vital help to the Eastern Army one by one on the court!
The ball blocked by Wu Dawei was taken by LeBron James. Dwight Howard was just feeling happy about Wu Dawei's block, but the next second, when he saw James running towards the frontcourt with the ball, Howard suddenly changed his face!
James's running wildly was extremely fast and did not give the Western Conference any chance to react. While people were still excited about Wu Dawei's block, James had already run through the halftime with the ball!
Then, in a few blinks, James had already rushed into the paint area! Then James, who had soared into the air in the paint area, spread his wings and dunked!
109:117, with less than 4 minutes left in the game, the Eastern Army expanded its advantage to 8 points. There were boiling screams above the Amway Center stadium, but Howard, who was standing in the backcourt waiting for the Western Army to attack, could not be happy.
He looked up at the big screen and saw his score of 26 points, while LeBron James was... 25 points, only one point away! MVP was about to change hands!
What to do, what to do!
Howard was anxious, and he couldn't help but turn his attention to Wu Dawei, a future teammate who helped him score repeatedly in this game. He looked at Wu Dawei but found that Wu Dawei also saw him. The two people's eyes met inexplicably. Then they separated again.
Because the Western Conference point guard Chris Paul had dribbled the ball through halftime, he and Kobe made a pick-and-roll at a high position and did not find an opportunity, and passed the ball back to Kobe. Kobe held the ball at a high position and faced Wu Dawei's defense. He was a little nervous and waved to Tim Duncan.
Kobe tried to use Duncan's pick-and-roll to throw away Wu Dawei, but the moment he tried to rely on Duncan's pick-and-roll, Wu Dawei reached out to pull it out, as if he had help from God!
Wu Dawei intercepted the ball!
Just one seemingly casual stretch, Wu Dawei broke the ball that Kobe Bryant had transported in his hand!
The ball was stabbed by Wu Dawei! In an instant, the fans in the stadium looked at Wu Dawei with incredible eyes. During this period, Wu Dawei's performance was the master of this game!
After stabbing the ball in Kobe's hand, Wu Dawei quickly rushed forward and grasped the ball. Dwight Howard, who followed Tim Duncan to the high position, started at that moment and ran towards the frontcourt.
At this time, LeBron James, who was on the wing, had already started. James ran in the front and Howard followed closely behind. There was no Western player going back to defend next to Wu Dawei behind them.
The three men leaned into a triangle and ran towards the frontcourt. James was the fastest to rush into the paint area. He pointed in the air and the intention was obvious, but Wu Dawei did not pass the ball at all. Until James ran over the basket, Wu Dawei ignored him. Instead, when Dwight Howard ran into the paint area "slowly" and Wu Dawei threw the ball into the basket!
Then, Dwight Howard jumped in the air and once again completed a violent two-handed frame!
109:119!
The Eastern Team led by 10 points. This is the first time that the score difference in this game has risen to the double-digit level. At this time, there are less than 3 minutes left in the fourth quarter. It can be said that the suspense of the game is already very small at this time, unless the Western Team launches the horn of the Jedi counterattack at this time!
But they did not do this. They missed again in the subsequent offense, and Wu Dawei grabbed the rebound. However, this time he did not give the ball to Ross, but chose to pass the half. Then he faced Kobe's defense. Wu Dawei seemed to want to have a one-on-one single fight with Kobe.
The players of the Eastern Conference opened up space for Wu Dawei, except Dwight Howard was still eager to try near the paint area. Wu Dawei didn't care about so much, but just held the ball and rushed towards the inside!
Although Kobe is not much shorter than Wu Dawei in height, and his competitive spirit aroused his fighting spirit. He held Wu Dawei and tried to stop Wu Dawei, there was still a difference in weight between the two. Kobe could not stop Wu Dawei from crushing into the paint area. As a last resort, Duncan, who was originally responsible for defending Howard, had to make up for defense, but Wu Dawei did not hesitate and directly passed the ball to Howard!
Howard scored another dunk in the inside after receiving the ball!
109:121!
The 12-point difference makes the suspense of this game even smaller. Dwight Howard also seemed very excited after this dunk, because in this way, he has raised his score to 30 points, while LeBron James still has only 25 points at this time!
The gap between the two people has been widened, and Howard is sure to win MVP tonight.
"Brother! Thank you so much! I love you so much!"
After Dwight Howard dunked the basket, he hurriedly ran towards Wu Dawei and hit Wu Dawei's chest with a hammer. His extremely excited expression was a little distorted. Although this was just an MVP trophy in an All-Star Game, it was also MVP!
If Dwight Howard really won the MVP trophy tonight, then Wu Dawei would make an indelible contribution. Because without the help of Wu Dawei, it would be impossible to compete with James as a center player like Howard.
But just as the two men breathed a sigh of relief, the Western Conference team lost the offense again. While Bosh got the rebound, the former handed the ball directly to LeBron James, not Derek Ross.
James dribbled the ball and quickly advanced to the half, and then jumped up directly at the three-point line!
The basketball flew into the net with a squeak in front of everyone! At the same time, it also made the smile on Dwight Howard's face froze...
James turned his head and smiled, like a demonstration. Did he see that I was trying to score for Howard? Wu Dawei had a little doubt in his mind, so James is trying so hard now that he even offended Howard, just to stop me from helping Howard get the mvp!?
Wu Dawei wanted to laugh a little. It seemed that James was playing with him... But... this guy obviously forgot that two people were selected for the Cavaliers' All-Star Game. When James hit this three-pointer, it can be said that the suspense completely disappeared, and the game officially entered garbage time.
The only suspense is who will become the mvp tonight. Howard's 30 points and James' 28 points made them both popular. But at this moment, taking advantage of the official timeout, Scott replaced Howard, James and Wu Dawei with one wave of change!
"Beautiful play, guys! Especially LeBron, your three-pointer completely defeated the West! Enjoy our victory, it's a rare holiday!"
Scott clapped his hands and replaced the starting players who had played on the court for a long time. In this way, the last suspense tonight seemed to have lost its mysterious veil.
James was not prepared for this. He did not expect that he had an "enemy" off the court, but James could only accept the head coach's arrangement. After all, there was no suspense in the game. Why is he competing for the game now? MVP in the All-Star Game?
James would not say such boring words. For James, who has already won the honor of the Grand Slam, if there is really any honor worthy of his smugness, then he will undoubtedly be the champion!
The reason why he used to grab points like that before was that he was as Wu Dawei thought, but he didn't want Wu Dawei to get what he wanted. Since there is no chance now, it would be better to be a favor... (To be continued...)
