The NBA started with helping Iverson win the championship

Chapter 222 Are You Sure You Can Guard Me?
Stern watched the boiling scene contentedly.

He was sure that Li Xun's deeds tonight would definitely make the entire basketball world lively.

The strongest players in the universe are in their NBA.

With the best bounce and the most accurate three-pointers, Li Xun has the ability that other players most dream of.

And that's exactly what happened.

Don't look at many players who look down on three-pointers, but if they really have the ability to have accurate three-pointers, they can wake up from their dreams with laughter.

For example, Barkley, if he could have Curry's three-point firepower in his peak period, he would never regret not having a championship.

As for the jumping ability, this is the ability that many fans dream of.

Especially those inside players.

Being a seven-footer with top-level outside jumping ability, whether it's blocking shots or grabbing rebounds, is all good.

Many players sighed silently when they saw Li Xun's bravery.

Really is more popular than dead people.

It seems that Li Xun is really the darling of God. After opening countless doors for him, he didn't close his windows.

Now that the miscellaneous games are over, the next main event is about to begin.

All-Star Game.

In this All-Star Game, Li Xun has a 100% chance to lead his team to win.

The main reason is that many top stars are missing in the East.

First of all, Kobe is absent. Although he also came to the All-Star this time, he came with an injury and will not play in the main game at all.

In this way, the All-Star starting lineup in the West is not considered strong.

Duncan, Nowitzki, Stoudemire, Nash plus Melo Anthony.

Of course strong is also strong, but apart from Anthony, these players are not suitable for the stage of the All-Star.

Duncan played dead as soon as he arrived at the All-Star Game, playing for more than ten minutes before leaving.

And even if he is on the field, he still doesn't work hard.

The top pillars of the inside line do not work hard, and it is unlikely that the West will win.

In the afternoon of the second day.

The hour from [-]:[-] to [-]:[-] is the external training of the Western All-Stars. Fans can buy tickets to watch the training of the stars.

From four to five o'clock, it was the Eastern All-Star training.

In order to get more money from the fans' pockets, Stern really did everything he could.

However, many fans still buy it. After all, watching star training is relatively new.

They watch too many star games, but private training is rare.

At four o'clock, Li Xun led Yao Ming and Iverson to the training ground.

The Western All-Stars were just about to leave. After seeing Li Xun coming, many people came forward to say hello with a smile.

Li Xun does have many enemies in this alliance, but he also has many friends.

Well, not many friends.

In the entire West, only Billups and Durant can be considered friends with Li Xun.

Others, like Stoudemire, have been repaired by Li Xun.

Or they have nothing to do with Kidd.

Billups loves Li Xun because of the Pistons.

On the other hand, Durant and Li Xun are about the same age, and they are also the leading figures of the rising stars in today's league.

"Li, your performance last night was too shocking."

"I am very happy for Mr. Dumars now. It is definitely a decision that will make him honor his whole life by signing you for his managerial career."

Billups looked at Li Xun sighingly and said.

He certainly didn't want to leave the Pistons at the time, but Dumars wanted to change the half-dead look of the Pistons, and took the risk of trading Billups for Iverson.

Judging from the current results, this deal is simply terrible.

But Dumas made Li Xun come out again, so he made up for it, and not many people mentioned this bad deal again.

"Chauncey, you played brilliantly this year."

Li Xun praised.

The Nuggets have played really well this year. In fact, since Billups went, they have been playing well.

Even in this year's playoffs, the Nuggets will face the Jazz's disqualification and be eliminated in the first round.

This also led to Melon will switch to the New York Knicks next year.

So there will be a lot of big things in the league next season, and many top stars will switch teams.

"It's far behind you. I hope we have the opportunity to join you in the finals this season."

Billups still has illusions about this Nuggets, thinking that they can break through the Lakers.

How would he know, let alone the Lakers, they couldn't even pass the Jazz.

The Nuggets' lineup is actually not bad, with Kenyon Martin plus Nene on the inside, Anthony, Efflalo and Billups in the backcourt, and JR Smith and others on the bench.

And he didn't play badly in the playoffs, not to say that he played abnormally.

However, he just couldn't beat the Jazz. It can only be said that Anthony's luck is really bad.

After chatting with Billups for a while, Durant also came over. Li Xun's performance last night shocked him even more.

In his mind, Li Xun was a blue-collar player with rough skills.

As a result, this impression has gradually been overturned over time.

Now Li Xun is a monster in his mind, a super powerful monster, so strong that Du Xiaoshuai feels ashamed.

"Li, to tell you the truth, I thought about it last season."

"It would be great if you could help me. You can definitely help me win the championship."

"Looking back now, I was really too young."

"It should be me who lays hands on you."

Durant is a real person, if there is anything he can't hide, he will say it directly.

Li Xun smiled wryly, this guy really didn't treat himself as an outsider, and poked out everything he said.

But speaking of it, if Durant and Li Xun can really join forces, it will be truly invincible.

The style of play of these two people can fit perfectly.

Durant doesn't occupy much possession of the ball, it's like a one-man killer, and he can cooperate with anyone.

It didn't take long for the All-Stars in the Eastern Conference to arrive.

Because the Western side played less games against Li Xun in the regular season, Li Xun did not suffer as much as the Eastern stars.

For the stars in the East, when they saw Li Xun, many people felt a sense of fear in their hearts.

For example, Gerald Wallace, the first All-Star in the history of the Bobcats, saw Li Xun and remembered that desperate 94-point night again in his mind.

That night, he and his teammates crazily defended Li Xun, but it didn't help. Li Xun should score as much as he should.

If Li Xun didn't get too few free throws that night, then Li Xun would definitely hit the [-]-point record.

Thinking that Li Xun might get [-] points, Gerald Wallace's scalp tingles.

This kind of evil star can't be provoked, and Gerald thinks he can still hide it, so he simply stays away from Li Xun.

Of the Big Four in Green Cay, except for Ray Allen, the other three have been selected as All-Stars this year.

After the three of them saw Li Xun, they all stood together and looked at Li Xun attentively and vigilantly.

You must know that Li Xun beat Lagabel violently in the warm-up session before. They don't want to be beaten by Li Xun in front of tens of thousands of fans.

There is already a life-and-death enmity between Lu Kai and Li Xun.

Li Xun glanced at Garnett and Rondo, sneered, and ignored them.

As long as they don't mess with me, I don't bother to find fault with them.

During the warm-up, Pistons coach Tang Shuai came to the scene and arranged the tactics for the players tonight.

In fact, it's just a formality, what tactics the All-Stars need, they all play as they want.

This year's East and West All-Star coaches are Tang Shuai in the East and Mavericks head coach Rick Carlisle in the West.

Although the Lakers have the No. [-] record in the Western Conference, Zen Master has already coached an All-Star last season, so this time it is the second coach's turn in the Western Conference.

Tang Shuai leads the team, which increases Li Xun's confidence in winning the All-Star MVP.

"Brother Yao, play hard tonight, I'll pass the ball to you more."

"Although it's an entertainment event, don't be too invisible."

"Just treat it as an assist for me."

Li Xun smiled at Yao Ming.

Yao Ming nodded, "Okay, you've already said that, how can I refuse?"

"Don't worry, your MVP will definitely not escape."

Inside players don't have enough roles in the All-Star game, but it doesn't mean that they are not good enough.

The first reason is that no one is passing the ball to them.

Everyone is a star, and the defensive strength is not strong. The outside players will shoot the ball when they have the ball. Who will act as a bad guy and pass the ball to the inside.

The second reason is that the defensive strength is not strong, the shooting rate is too high, and there are no rebounds.

Without rebounds, inside players can't do it if they want to grab rebounds and play a second offense.

Therefore, the general inside players often go through the motions in the All-Star game.

Of course, there are exceptions. For example, O'Neal has a wide network, and he can let outside players pass the ball to him.

Even if he doesn't pass, he can always find a chance to get the ball.

Thick-skinned, it is really impossible to steal from teammates.

But players like Yao Ming and Duncan don't have this kind of entertainment mentality, they are too embarrassed to do that kind of thing.

In fact, if someone passes the ball to the inside players, their scoring will be even more terrifying.

After all, the defensive strength is not strong, and it is not easy to score at the basket.

At eight o'clock the next night, the All-Star Game officially began.

"Dudududu!"

With the whistle of the referee, the starters of both sides began to appear.

Eastern Yao Ming, Li Xun, James, Wade and Iverson.

West Stoudemire, Duncan, Nowitzki, Anthony and Nash.

In the jump ball link, Stoudemire defeated Yao Ming and started the first offensive round in the West.

After Nash controlled the ball to the frontcourt, he passed it directly to teammate Stoudemire.

Stoudemire turned around and dunked when he got off the basket. Every time he met Yao Ming, this guy was as if he had been beaten.

It was because they had been in the West together all the time, so the two had never played against each other in the All-Stars.

Li Xun looked unhappy, how many times would this guy have to be abused before he knew Yao Ming was not to be messed with?

He remembered being an All-Star last season, and he had severely repaired Stoudemire himself.

Yao Ming's face was full of helplessness, and it was difficult for him to guard against it too hard in this situation, as if he had no spirit of entertainment.

It's the East's turn to attack.

Iverson passed the ball directly to Li Xun without even seeing James and Wade.

What Li Xun didn't expect was that Stoudemire ran out to guard him.

This guy really doesn't know how to write dead characters.

With Li Xun playing the forward position tonight, he should actually be facing Duncan or Nowitzki.

Stoudemire took the initiative to invite Ying, probably because he wanted to avenge the humiliation of the All-Stars last season.

Li Xun waved his hand, signaling his teammates to disperse, and he wanted to single-handedly fight Stoudemire.

To hit Stoudemire's weak inside line, Li Xun's back hit is simply a magic weapon, so don't take it too easy.

Going into the free throw line against Stoudemire, and then Li Xun stepped back and made a mid-range shot.

Failed to score, but at this moment Li Xun was very close to the basket, quickly rushed forward to grab the rebound, and then made a tip-up.

"Dude, are you sure you want to guard against me?"

"Are you sure you can stop me?"

Li Xun smiled disdainfully at Xiao Si.

Xiao Si was so angry that he couldn't speak, so he could only give Li Xun a fierce look.

It's the offensive round in the West again.

This time Nash still passed the ball to Stoudemire. It is estimated that Stoudemire begged Nash before the game to let him pass the ball to him more.

After finally catching the opportunity to face Yao Ming on this occasion, Stoudemire certainly didn't want to miss it.

He still has an obsession in his heart, wanting to prove that he is better than Yao Ming.

The clay figurine was still a little bit angry, and Yao Ming also got a little angry when he saw Stoudemire trying to single him out again.

Seeing Tian'er provoking himself, do you really think that you have no temper?

As soon as Stoudemire got the ball, Yao Ming's huge body immediately stepped forward.

In the main game, generally Yao Ming can't do this, because once he pushes out and the opponent passes the ball, it is difficult to return to the basket with his speed.

But now that he is an All-Star, how could Stoudemire pass the ball.

Stoudemire Stoudemire hit Yao Ming with his back, but failed to make a hit, and the rebound was also taken away by Li Xun who rushed in.

Li Xun rushed in thinking of Mao Stoudemire. Although he missed the cap, he also picked up a rebound.

This wave is fine.

Next, Iverson passed the ball to Li Xun again, and Li Xun singled Stoudemire again.

If Duncan came to defend Li Xun's singles, then Li Xun would have to be afraid of three points.

But Stoudemire's body is completely incomparable with Duncan.

In the following time, it became the performance stage of Li Xun and Yao Ming.

While scoring and rebounding himself, Li Xun simply passed the ball to Yao Ming for some unsure balls, allowing him to score under the basket.

By the time the first quarter was played for 5 minutes, the Eastern side had already gained a clear advantage.

Rick Carlisle called a timeout and started the substitutions.

Although the All-Star is an entertainment event, it is always ugly to lose too much.

Duncan on the field didn't work hard, and ran back and forth with his teammates, just like a wooden stake.

He is here to play games, and he is here for jogging training.

Durant was replaced on the field, and the situation in the West became better.

Li Xun played 8 minutes in the first quarter and scored 12 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists. His efficiency is quite amazing.

These 6 assists were all assisted by Yao Ming, which led to Yao Ming now scoring 12 points.

It has to be said that a super center like Yao Ming is too powerful in such a low defensive game.

There is no such thing as a hit rate for dunks at the basket.

After the first quarter of the game, the fans at the scene have already clearly realized that tonight's All-Star MVP must be in Li Xun's pocket.

He is so versatile.

If he continues to play at such an efficiency, tonight will definitely be a super triple-double.
