The NBA started with helping Iverson win the championship

Chapter 303 Can You Get MVP Like This?

At the end of the holiday break, Li Xun finally returned to the stadium amidst the cheers of tens of thousands of fans at the scene.

"I'm going to play inside, you just keep your shots open."

"Absolutely."

"It doesn't matter if you don't win, anyway, I can get it back for you."

Li Xun said directly to the four teammates on the field.

Durant, Harden, Paul plus Nowitzki.

Originally, the old driver didn't want to play, but he hasn't played for a second since tonight, so Carlisle has to let him show his face no matter what.

Not to mention playing too much, you should at least play for 2 minutes and explain.

In the beginning, the Western team had the ball.

Li Xun directly plunged into the restricted area.

Howard rested off the court, and now Vucevic is on the court.

"Boss, this..."

Vucevic was quite happy at first, his big brother Howard was willing to give himself playing time.

So that the newcomer himself can show his face.

As a result, who knew that he ran into Li Xun just after playing.

Didn't it mean that Li Xun didn't want to fight tonight?
Looking at the first three quarters, he really didn't want to play very much, and he almost didn't play much.

Why is my luck so tragic, I just ran into Li Xun when I first came up.

"Man, they said they're going to keep the MVP in the West this year."

"I have no choice but to listen to them."

While talking, Durant from outside made a three-pointer.

"boom!"

If you don't hit the iron, Durant's touch tonight is really not very good.

Judging by his posture, it was clear that he was aiming for the MVP, otherwise it would be impossible to make such a crazy shot.

Li Xun directly pressed Vucevic and took the offensive rebound.

Then he bent down slightly, and his legs jumped up on the spot as if they were equipped with high-strength springs, completing the second offensive dunk.

Vucevic looked helpless.

How to fight this?
He is now considered a small and powerful inside star. Although his defense is not good, he is not completely helpless in the face of some other inside stars.

But facing Li Xun, he was completely at a loss.

His strength is at least three grades worse than Li Xun's, and his strength is probably not as strong as that of Jiba.

And Li Xun is comparable to the existence of the top big Ben or Ma Long.

It's fine if it's only three grades behind in strength, but the key point is Li Xun's jumping makes him helpless.

After Li Qiang pushed himself away, Li Xun immediately jumped up with amazing bullet speed and completed the dunk.

No reaction time was left for Vucevic.

Li Xun pointed his fingers at his four teammates and yelled, "You see, just vote."

"As long as I'm at the basket, the rebounds are definitely guaranteed."

Howard, who was sitting off the court, grinned when he saw the embarrassment of his teammate Vucevic.

The smile is very innocent, but in Vucevic's view, this smile is too heartless.

Howard dodged a bullet.

Vucevic was abused. In fact, even if he got involved, the situation would not be much better.

His rebounding ability is kind of overrated.

When it comes to Howard, many fans may think of rebounding monsters. In fact, Howard's rebounding ability is not particularly strong.

Where he's really strong is on defense.

In the offensive round of the Eastern team, seeing Li Xun sitting under the basket, James directly gave up the idea of ​​hitting the basket.

It's true that the All-Stars can't play zone defense, but if you rush to the basket, they will reward you with hot pot, which is purely self-inflicted.

"boom!"

Wade's mid-range shot also missed, and Li Xun took the rebound again.

Judging from Li Xun's performance after his debut, he obviously wanted to rely on his rebounding ability to help the West team win.

This is the horror of a team with a top rebounder.

In theory, when a player grabs all the rebounds that come up on the floor, it's impossible for a team to lose.

It is completely impossible to lose. The final result is either a win, or a tie and overtime until the end of time.

This is why it is said that those who can rebound win the world.

Even in the small ball era of later generations, it doesn't mean that rebounds are completely useless.

For example, when the Warriors played against the Grizzlies in 2022, Looney had 22 rebounds in a single game, including 11 offensive rebounds, which were the absolute contributors to the Warriors' victory over the Grizzlies.

When it came to the offensive round in the West, Paul did not pass the ball to Durant this time.

Instead, it was passed to Harden.

"boom!"

Lao Dengzi also failed to hit the iron.

This pair of Thunder Brothers, tonight's hit rate has completely matched Westbrook.

Li Xun easily grabbed the offensive rebound and made another offensive dunk.

When it came to the Eastern team's offense, James missed a three-pointer, and Li Xun directly grabbed the fourth rebound after his debut in the fourth quarter.

And these four rebounds also helped the West team chase four points in a row.

Playing and hitting, Li Xun felt that the efficiency of chasing points was too low.

The main thing is to play a second attack at the basket. If it succeeds, it will only have two points.

If you throw a three-pointer from the outside, it's a three-pointer.

Anyway, I can guarantee the rebound, even if I miss it, the big deal is to make another shot.

"boom!"

Harden hit the iron again.

After Li Xun grabbed the rebound, he threw the ball directly to Paul.

Then he shouted to the outside line: "Shoot a three-pointer!"

Lao Dengzi understood, this time he finally scored a three-pointer from beyond the three-point line.

Already chasing seven points in a row.

But then the Eastern team James scored another two points, pulling the point difference back a bit.

James' statistics tonight are also gorgeous, and it seems that he also wants to win this MVP.

To this day, because of Li Xun, he has not won the All-Star MVP. At present, the championship must be forgotten. The FMVP is definitely out of the question, so at least getting the AMVP can be a consolation.

"Continue to vote!"

In the offensive round in the West, Durant has missed two consecutive three-pointers.

This also allowed Li Xun to score two offensive rebounds in a row.

On the third shot, Durant finally scored, and the point difference was recovered by 8 points.

Paul was dumbfounded.

Although it was an entertainment game, it was a bit too entertaining.

Playing with Li Xun, can you be so comfortable?

The only thing he needs to do now is to take two shots from time to time, and then receive Li Xun's offensive rebound and distribute the ball to his teammates.

If a teammate makes a three-pointer, then he gets an extra assist.

Didn't invest?That's okay, because Li Xun will definitely be able to grab another offensive rebound, and he can still continue to mix assists.

Looking at it this way, if he and Li Xun became teammates.

He feels that he even has the hope of getting his hands on 40 assists in a single game, which is an unbelievable statistic to think about.

As for averaging 20 assists per game, that doesn't seem to be a big problem.

Of course, the premise is that Li Xun can always cooperate with him and play a season as a blue-collar under the basket.

Durant and Harden looked at Nowitzki enviously.

With such a thigh in the team, still worry about losing?

Durant felt that if he teamed up with Li Xun, let alone Dynasty.

Even if he has ten championships, it doesn't seem to be a problem.

How to become teammates with Li Xun is a super big problem. I don't know if I can let him come to Thunder if I drink Li Xun's bath water.

Harden's thinking is more complicated now.

He wondered if the Rockets had a special connection with Chinese players.

Let Yao Ming come forward, maybe there is a chance to persuade Li Xun to come to the Rockets.

Now Li Xun has signed a contract with the Mavericks, but he is still young and can afford to wait.

Thinking of this, Harden suddenly thought of Sun Yue. Looking at it this way, he should treat Sun Yue better.

The game passed minute by minute.

It's hard to say that this is an entertainment game. Under Li Xun's style of play, the game has become very unsmooth.

But the fans still watched with gusto.

The fans also knew that Li Xun's rebounding was very strong, but they never thought that it could be so strong.

Vucevic was already considered a good rebounder, but in front of Li Xun, there was no scum left.

By the time there were three or four minutes left in the game, the difference between the two sides had basically been tied.

At this moment, Heat coach Spoelstra also put Howard on the court.

He decided to let the Pistons' inside duo limit Li Xun's rebounding.

He also really wants to win this game, on the one hand, he wants James to win the MVP.

On the other hand, he has suffered a lot under Li Xun's hands for so many years, so he should find a place again.

As a result, Howard said that he would not play.

The key is that Spoelstra really has nothing to do with him.

This is not a regular season or playoffs, this is entertainment.

If the player is thick-skinned, he can even ask the head coach to play for a while longer.

Of course, you can also cheekily refuse the head coach's request to appear on the stage.

Howard's skin must be thick enough.

Anyway, he also knew that the MVP had nothing to do with him, so why go up and seek abuse?

I really thought it would be an easy job to play against Li Xun?

With this skill, I might as well save some women who have lost their way. Of course, only Howard himself knows whether it is a woman or a transgender person.

As the game ended, the West finally won the game with a score of 122:116.

Judging from the scores, this game was really tight.

Because the All-Star game is usually 120 to [-] points, but tonight is only about [-] points.

The fans are not dissatisfied at all.

They are completely tired of the kind of fake All-Star game that is completely out of motion.

There is no competition at all, so what's the point?
As the referee whistles and the Western Conference wins, the final MVP will be born from the Western Conference players.

The players who played the most minutes couldn't hold back their restlessness.

Durant scored 30 points tonight, but his shooting percentage was worrying.

Harden scored 21 points, which was better than normal, and his shooting percentage was slightly better than Durant.

As for Paul, he scored 20 points, 7 rebounds and 16 assists, which is similar to normal.

李勋则是10分25篮板6助攻2抢断1盖帽。

You must know that in the first three quarters, Li Xun only got 5 rebounds in total. As a result, in the fourth quarter, he scored 20 rebounds in a single quarter.

But if you look at the overall data, Li Xun's data may not be as good as Paul's.

So if there is no accident, Paul should still be the MVP of this year, at least Li Xun thinks so.

Fortunately, Li Xun has no interest in this MVP.

Whoever takes it is the same to him.

It's a pity that Nowitzki and Clay couldn't get it.

Nowitzki only played 4 minutes tonight. It is already a face for him to be able to participate at this age.

As for Clay, he didn't get many shots tonight.

After all, the style of play is limited, so there are only five shots in total.

The fans didn't leave the arena because the MVP result wasn't out yet.

After waiting for about 15 minutes, Stern appeared from the backcourt and walked onto the podium with a smile on his face.

"Dear viewers."

"I announce that the MVP of the 2012-2013 All-Star Weekend is..."

"Chris Paul from the Los Angeles Clippers."

The fans at the scene were in an uproar, what? The MVP was not given to Li Xun?

If it weren't for Li Xun's 20 rebounds in the last quarter, the Western Conference would not be able to drop the hammer in this game?

Just as the fans were in an uproar, Stern pressed his hand, indicating that he hadn't finished speaking.

"And Lee Hoon from the Dallas Mavericks!"

Stern's panting made Li Xun quite speechless.

This guy definitely did it on purpose.

Li Xun also never expected that he didn't want this MVP at all, but he got it in the end.

This is good, he has won four All-Stars in the past five years.

Paul is all smiles, this is also the first MVP of his career, and it is very meaningful, because this is the MVP shared with Li Xun.

"Li, congratulations, you have won your fourth All-Star MVP."

"Directly tied Pettit and became the player with the most All-Star MVPs in NBA history."

"What a coincidence, Pettit also has an MVP to share with others."

Paul stepped forward to congratulate.

"Congratulations to Li Xun, he easily made history again."

"It seems that every game he plays, I can look forward to it, because he always makes history."

"He played a total of 22 minutes tonight and set several records as a result."

"The first is to tie Pettit's record for the number of MVPs."

"And then he became the first All-Star MVP in the history of the Mavericks!"

"And then there was 20 rebounds in a single quarter, which also broke the All-Star record."

The live DJ enthusiastically announced Li Xun's feat tonight.

Li Xun was stunned. He actually became the first All-Star MVP in the history of the Mavericks?

Good guy, the Mavericks have been building a team for decades, and no one has ever won this award before?
In fact, Li Xun still underestimated the rarity of the All-Star MVP.

Rare things are more expensive, even though many fans look down on the All-Star MVP, but because of his rarity, the gold content is still very high.

To this day, at least half of the teams in the league have not yet produced an All-Star MVP.

Since 1951, the All-Star has been held 62 times.

59年、93年、00年以及今年是共享MVP，然后99年劳薪纠纷没开全明星，也就是一共诞生了65人次的全明星MVP。

Many of these players have had it multiple times.

The number of All-Star MVPs is only about 30 so far.

Then many players are still on the same team. There are almost ten All-Star MVPs in the history of the Lakers and Green Kais alone.

This is why many teams have not had an All-Star MVP so far.
