My template is really center

第320七章 40+14+5+6，这是NBA历史最弱第一中锋？

Seeing Yao Ming, who once again used his tonnage and low-post dominance after his return to complete the offense again and again and helped the Western All-Stars score continuously, Xu Lang felt that he should also start to take over the game.

Although this game eventually became a game with Xu Lang as the core.

However, after all, Howard agreed to help him fight for the MVP.

Therefore, in the previous game, Xu Lang still thought more about the best way to maintain the victory of the game and help Howard get more data performance.

Although looking at it now, even Xu Lang, who doesn't make much effort to collect data, has almost generated a large triple-double data of 30+!

But looking at it now, the strength gap between Howard and Yao Ming is still a bit big.

At least, Xu Lang felt that with his current strength, it would be difficult to force Howard to the MVP throne and at the same time lead the Eastern All-Star team to victory!

Therefore, in the next East Star team attack, when Xu Lang was holding the ball from the outside, he directly let Howard, who was planning to catch the ball in the low post, open up space!

Outside the three-point line at the top of the arc, Xu Lang faced McGrady, who was defending him, and Kobe, who was ready to help defend him.

First he took a deep breath, then he made a false forward move, followed by a quick step back, and came directly two steps away from the three-point line. At the same time, Xu Lang took advantage of the situation and made a preparation , The shooting posture of the combined ball shot!
But it is obvious that McGrady, who is extremely receptive to defensive attention, is not as easy to fool as Paul Pierce.

I saw McGrady take a step up at the same time as Xu Lang took a step back, keeping a distance of half a step to one step from Xu Lang.

At the same time, McGrady kept adjusting his long arms so that he could interfere with Xu Lang's pass at any time.

The distance of more than half a step can also allow McGrady to react in time when Xu Lang suddenly breaks through!

This allows McGrady's defense this time to maintain enough interference and defensive threats to Xu Lang's breakthrough and shooting!
As a result, Xu Lang's false shot this time can only become a new possession of the ball!
Fortunately, for Xu Lang, as long as he could lure McGrady out, he was not depressed after seeing that Xu Lang failed in the fake shot.

Instead, drop the ball directly again, and take advantage of the trend to accelerate, and it is necessary to complete the breakthrough from the right side of McGrady.

And just after McGrady's defensive center of gravity was transferred to the right, Xu Lang bent his knees in disguise without slowing down, and shifted his breakthrough direction to the left again.

Of course, if it's just a disguise, Xu Lang still has no way to complete the breakthrough. After all, he is not a super master in breakthroughs like Iverson!

But, at the same time, Xu Lang also has his own breakthrough advantage.

It can be seen that after Xu Lang completed the disguise, he immediately wanted to take the initiative to fight physically, and directly staggered McGrady, who had not adjusted his defensive center of gravity.

Then, at this time, Xu Lang took the opportunity to accelerate, and came to the top of the arc beyond the three-point line from McGrady's left side, and took off to shoot.

Obviously, Kobe, who was always ready to help defend on the flanks, never thought that Xu Lang would suddenly make a three-pointer. This caused McGrady and Kobe to be at least one step away from Xu Lang when Xu Lang took off to make a shot!

And Xu Lang, who didn't have any interference, naturally didn't waste such an open three-pointer opportunity, and then the basketball went straight into the net!
But it's not time for Xu Lang to celebrate how wonderful his attack was this time!
On the other hand, the Western All-Star team attacked and handed the ball to Yao Ming again, completing a more relaxed scoring performance.

It can be seen that after Yao Ming received the ball, he just swayed back and forth twice, turned around and entered the penalty area for a low-handed layup.

"Damn it, it's too simple."

Seeing Howard being played by Yao Ming like a monkey, Xu Lang was envious of Yao Ming's height and inside footsteps for the first time.

To be honest, he has Olajuwon's gold-level skill: Xu Lang with inside footsteps.

It is also possible to make such excellent footsteps like Yao Ming did just now.

However, Xu Lang is not as tall as Yao Ming, so no matter how exquisite his inside footsteps are, it is impossible for Howard to fly in the air so easily.

Fortunately, Xu Lang also has his own advantages.

Returning to the Eastern All-Star team's offense, Howard raised the three-point line to help Xu Lang complete the pick-and-roll.

And Xu Lang also quickly entered the three-point line with the help of Howard's pick-and-roll.

At the same time, Howard, who had just completed the pick-and-roll, shook off McGrady's entanglement, and with his two long legs, he launched an impact towards the basket.

This is the daily routine of cooperation between Howard and Xu Lang in the second half of the game.

After all, before Xu Lang planned to take over the entire game, he still wanted to help Howard score more points, to see if it was possible to win the game with the Eastern All-Star Team and at the same time allow Howard to have the possibility of competing for the MVP of.

In fact, the effect of this offensive method is good.

At least Howard's data performance in this game has reached the level of 28 points and 12 rebounds so far!

Although, compared with Yao Ming, who has almost scored 40 points and 15 rebounds, and Xu Lang, who has already achieved a large triple-double of 30+10+10, Howard's data performance is still far behind.

But Xu Lang has really tried his best. After all, in order to help Howard's such good statistics, the Eastern All-Stars are about to be led by double digits by the Western All-Stars!

Of course, the topic is a bit far away, let's go back to this attack.

After entering the three-point line with the help of Howard's pick-and-roll, Xu Lang did not slow down his movement speed at all, but accelerated further, and soon entered the three-second zone.

At the same time, Howard also took two big strides to the edge of the three-second zone, ready to take off at any time to complete a dunk.

It's just obvious that the Western All-Star team seems to have some kind of tacit understanding here. They would rather let Xu Lang break through into the three-second zone or even into the penalty area to complete the attack, but also prevent Howard from continuing to take off and dunk.

Therefore, seeing howard is always marked by Duncan one-on-one, Xu Lang really can't resist Duncan's interception pass!

Fortunately, when Duncan chose to give up helping Xu Lang, the only defender left in front of Xu Lang was Yao Ming who was constantly retreating and adjusting his defensive position.

And Yi Jianlian, who hadn't rushed over from the flanks yet!

Then, in a blink of an eye, after Xu Lang judged the defensive formation of the Western All-Stars, it was time to change his offensive thinking and attack by himself!
After all, on the field of play, this sudden offensive space and opportunity are also fleeting. If Xu Lang delays for a while, wait until Yi Jianlian's defense is in place.

It is very possible that Xu Lang, let alone attacking, may even make an offensive mistake after he is caught in a siege!

So after Xu Lang came to the edge of the penalty area with one foot, he directly received the ball, and then, with a light step frequency change, through a breakthrough attack with a European step, he easily hit the layup from Yao Ming's underarm.

Speaking of which, regarding the offensive weapon of the European step, it was only after Xu Lang saw Manu Ginobili use the European step in the finals last year that he used the European step to kill the Quartet. There is so much lethality on the breakthrough!

It was at that time that Xu Lang started to practice the Eurostep crazily, so it was less than a year since Xu Lang started to learn the Eurostep.

This is because Xu Lang has the solidification effect of the system, so that he can train a new breakthrough skill in such a short period of time until it can be used on the field, and even become a small killer!
After all, Xu Lang is different from other people who need to keep training to form muscle memory to learn a certain skill.

Because of the system, Xu Lang only needs to upgrade one skill to the silver level recognized by the system, and then he can form the muscle memory that can be used proficiently on the field!

In addition, the European step has a huge advantage in breaking through and finishing inside.

As a result, although Xu Lang's current European step skill progress is only more than 30% of the silver level, he still easily passed Yao Ming's defense and completed a low-handed layup.

But still the problem, how to defend Yao Ming's offense!
Returning to the Western All-Star team's offense, Yao Ming still received the ball in the low post, and it was still a frontal breakthrough after an easy bottom step confrontation.

Although Yao Ming didn't make an easy low-handed layup this time because of Garnett's help defense, it also caused a foul by Garnett who came over from the help defense!

With a 100% free throw percentage in this game, Yao Ming, who was sent to the free throw line, made two free throws and continued to help the Western All-Stars maintain a lead of more than five points.

Then, the next game became, the Eastern All-Star team relied on Xu Lang. Although each attack was relatively difficult, they were basically able to score.

On the other hand, the All-Stars in the Western Conference also rely on Yao Ming and maintain a very high offensive efficiency.

It's just that such a state of competition where you and I are one by one is very detrimental to the side that is lagging behind!
Although occasionally the Eastern All-Stars can rely on Xu Lang's occasional outside three-pointers, they can slightly close the score gap between the two teams.

However, under the leadership of Yao Ming, the Western All-Star team had a lot of leads before!

This makes it difficult for the Eastern All-Star team to tie the score and overtake in a short period of time.

And now, there is not enough game time!

With just over a minute of game time left, the Eastern All-Star team is constantly closing in on the gap between the two teams.

But until one second before the end of the game, the Western All-Stars still had a 4-point lead.

There are only 1.3 seconds left in the game, and the Eastern All-Star team still has the last offensive ball, but with a four-point gap, there is no miracle or hope.

In the end, although Xu Lang undertook all kinds of defensive pressures to complete this ultra-long-distance and difficult three-pointer and made a miraculous hit, the game ended and the Western All-Stars finally won the game. The victory of the game.

At the same time, with the Western All-Star team winning this year's All-Star Game, the possibility of Howard wanting to compete for the MVP has officially returned to zero!
Although Xu Lang ended the game with a triple-double performance of 35+11+13, even if the Eastern All-Star team finally won the All-Star game, the possibility of Howard wanting to compete for the MVP is infinitely close to 0 Bar.

On the contrary, after the Western All-Star team won the game, the All-Star MVP honor was finally awarded to Yao Ming without a doubt.

At the end of the game, Yao Ming played a total of 29 minutes in this All-Star Game.

A single person scored 41 points, 14 rebounds, 5 assists, [-] blocks, [-] steal, and [-] turnovers.

The total shooting percentage is as high as 61.2%, and the free throw percentage is as high as [-]%.

The data performance is close to 40+15+5+6, coupled with Yao Ming's efficient shooting efficiency and offensive efficiency.

There is not a single player in the Western All-Star team that can pose any threat to Yao Ming's final MVP title.

At the same time, along with this game, Yao Ming played such a terrifying statistical performance against a group of all-star opponents, and won the final MVP award.

It also made Yao Ming slap those who doubted that he was the weakest No. [-] center in the league! .

At the same time, after the end of the All-Star Weekend, the NBA regular season has officially entered the final stage.

Most teams also have more than 20 games left!

At the same time, many strong teams have also begun to make some advance preparations for their playoff journey, allowing the core players in the team to reserve their physical fitness in advance!

Among them, the Eagles are the first team in the league to rest players after the end of the All-Star Weekend.

Before, because of record pressure, many Eagles players were fighting with exhaustion debuff.

Now, the Eagles can finally start the rest plan for the core players that could not be completed before!

At the same time, Xu Lang also took advantage of this time off and was invited by the Grammy official to attend the 2008 Grammy Awards Ceremony.

In fact, Xu Lang didn't plan to go. After all, Dan Feigen told him in private that he would not win the Grammy Award for Best Newcomer this year.

Xu Lang thought that since he couldn't win the prize, what's the point of going?

However, Dan Fagan later said that the Grammy officials are willing to spend 10 US dollars to invite Xu Lang to participate in this year's Grammy Awards Ceremony, and Xu Lang will be the award presenter of the Grammy Awards Ceremony.

Of course, if it was only 10 US dollars, Xu Lang might not care too much.

But Dan Feigen also said that if Xu Lang can make a wave of appearances at the Grammys, his commercial value will be further improved.

It's not an increase in the upper limit, but an increase in breadth. After all, Xu Lang was just a basketball player, and many endorsements would not find basketball players to endorse.

But if Xu Lang establishes himself as a super rookie in the singer world, then if there are some new endorsements, Xu Lang may find him!
So for his status as a super rookie in the singer industry, Xu Lang finally decided to spare a day to attend this year's Grammy Awards Ceremony.

Facts have proved that the Grammys made the right move, because Xu Lang's participation not only made more American fans pay attention to this year's Grammys, but also made a large number of domestic fans pay attention to the Grammys.

After all, before this, although Grammy had a certain reputation in the domestic music industry.

However, among ordinary people in China, Grammy is still not very famous.

Even people in the music industry, not many people have actually seen the Grammy Awards Ceremony.

But this year, because of Xu Lang, the Grammy Awards Ceremony has also become popular in China.

So, at least for the Grammys, the $10 was not wronged at all.

Even after learning about Xu Lang's influence in China, the Grammy still regretted not giving this year's Best Newcomer award to Xu Lang!

After all, with the NBA’s major teams earning a lot of money, all major institutions in the United States also know clearly that the country as a whole may still be relatively poor, but after nearly 30 years of reform and opening up , some people have indeed become rich!

In other words, Xu Lang still doesn't know how much positive impact his participation in the Grammys can bring to the Grammys, otherwise Xu Lang might not feel so good about the 10 US dollars given by the Grammys!
At the same time, after the Grammy Awards, Xu Lang returned to Atlanta and continued to rest for another 3 to 5 days.

Xu Lang's physical condition, under the tests of professionals, was finally no longer in a state of exhaustion.

Then, after another two days of body adjustments and game state adjustments, Xu Lang immediately returned to the game!

And during Xu Lang's rest period, the Celtics also did a big deal before the trade deadline, trading the 35-year-old Chris Webber from the Kings.

Originally, after Webber left from the Pistons, he thought about returning to the Kings for a year to retire and officially retired.

As a result, watching the Celtics and Rockets' game state and game performance, Chris Webber moved to pursue the championship again.

It's just obvious that the Kings, as a team in the West, will not choose to continue to contribute to the Rockets.

So in the end Chris Webber was traded to the Celtics.

And after Chris Webber was traded, the Celtics' lineup thickness problem has been alleviated to a certain extent.

Especially so far this season, Garnett, who has averaged more than 40 minutes per game, can finally get a little breathing time in the game.

At the same time, it also allowed the Celtics to finally dare to start some core players' rotations, and then ensure the physical status and game status of several core players before the start of the playoffs.

After all, before Webber's arrival, the Celtics had been supported by these four star players.
