Basketball starts with breathing

Chapter 227 Kobe must also feel boring for the free MVP [Third, please subscribe]

Of course, it is definitely impossible to give money at this time. After all, there are so many reporters on the sidelines, but they can keep accounts.

Everyone is a star, how about a good face?
This kind of thing usually doesn't happen. It's rare to be shameless like Tyrone Hill of the 76ers, and with Charles Oakley's lessons learned, no one dares to reduce the money of the Bulls players.

Next is the slam dunk contest.

The list of players participating in the slam dunk contest has appeared on the big screen.

It was the first time that Lu Yu watched the slam dunk contest live. After watching it, he felt that it was boring. It was nothing more than a variety of ideas. As for the difficulty, Lu Yu felt that these actions seemed to be able to dunk himself.

It is estimated that only Zach LaVine and Aaron Gordon can make Lu Yu feel that it is not an action that humans can do.

The final champion is no surprise, or Jason Richardson.

This year's slam dunk contest has the smallest number of entries in recent years. In addition to defending champion Desmond Mason and 2000 slam dunk contest runner-up Francis, there are this year's rookies Jason Richardson and Gerrard. · Wallace.

Since there are only four contestants, the rules of this competition have been temporarily adjusted. The four are divided into two groups and the winner will enter the final.

Surprisingly, Mason and Francis both lost to rivals Richardson and Wallace in the challenge.

In the subsequent finals of the two rookies, Richardson beat Wallace with his super-high jumping power and one-stop dunk action and became the "Dunk King" of this competition.

No urination all the way.

The audience below was drowsy, and some even strongly demanded that Lu Yu come to the slam dunk contest next year.

Even Arenas didn't mean to hang on to the lottery at all. He really couldn't lift his spirits. Such a slam dunk contest would simply humiliate the NBA's reputation.

After the game, Lu Yu continued to be interviewed by reporters.

"The players who participated in the three-point contest this time are all excellent, but maybe they played a little unexpectedly. If they played normally, I might not have the chance to win the final trophy, that is, because of their unexpected performance, I only There will not be too much psychological pressure, but I can only say that I played last, which gave me a big advantage."

Lu Yu is telling the truth. Like Ray Allen, he is definitely out of order. With Ray Allen's strength, it is not a big problem to make a [-]-point shot.

But these words sounded a bit Versailles in the ears of the reporters. After all, no matter how well the others played, they couldn't surpass Lu Yu's 30 points.

Moreover, Lu Yu's shooting rate is obviously based on the actual shooting rate, which is more difficult than others.

This is... so Versailles!

The reporter asked again: "For the All-Star game that will start tomorrow, how many points do you think you can score tomorrow with today's feel?"

Lu Yu smiled: "It's hard to say, but after all, this year is my first All-Star selection, and there are still many opportunities in the future. Even if I can't win the All-Star MVP this time, there will be a chance next time, right?"

reporter:"???"

I'm just asking how many points you can get, didn't think you still want the All-Star Game MVP?

You must know that there is a high probability that the MVP of this All-Star Game is Allen Iverson. After all, Iverson is the host. Under normal circumstances, everyone will give the host some face and let him score as much as possible in front of the home fans.

of course there are exceptions.

In the 2006 Houston All-Star Game, as the host, McGrady scored a game-high 36 points, but the helpless young LeBron James led the Eastern Jedi to counterattack and stole the MVP from McGrady. Youngest MVP ever.

In 2008, it was James again. In New Orleans, he not only destroyed the coronation ceremony of the host Paul, but also scored 27+9+8 data to beat Ray Allen, who had the highest score in the game, and was crowned MVP for the second time.

To be honest, doing one thing twice is a bit shameless.

In 2010, Nowitzki greeted visitors from all over the world in Dallas. This was the best chance for a German tank to be consecrated. He was robbed by the ignorant Anthony. In the end, the East Team won. Wade raised the MVP trophy, and Dirk 14. Second All-Star selection, but failed to win an MVP.

In 2012, James made a comeback, and the gods scored 36 points all the way. However, when he came out, he always had to pay it back. Durant also scored 36 points and led the Western Conference to win, and was crowned MVP for the first time.

People, you can't just look at the eyes, can you?

These are things that have not yet happened in the future. In fact, there is another incident where the host was robbed of the MVP. That is, in Lu Yu’s previous life this year’s All-Star Game, Kobe robbed Iverson of the MVP.

Lu Yu thought to himself, anyway, if Iverson is going to be robbed, it is better to grab it himself, it is rare to be able to compete with Kobe once.

Watching Kobe and Iverson slump at the same time is a good feeling.

The premise is that the West must not win.

There has never been a player who has lost several times in history to win the MVP trophy.

Eh... not without, for example, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was the one who won, and as a result, the MVP trophy was awarded to Dr. J, who lost the East Team.

In this year's All-Star Game, Iverson has a high probability of not being able to win the All-Star Game MVP. Regardless of whether he is the host or not, the most important point is that he has already won the All-Star Game at the Wizards' home game last year. MVP of the game.

The 2001 championship belonged to the OK group and their Lakers, but that season belonged to only one person -- Allen Iverson.

It was also his great performance that made the 2001 All-Star Game the most intense, classic, bloody, and soul-stirring All-Star Game in history.

When the 2001 All-Star lineup was released, the reactions of media reporters and fans at that time were roughly similar, that is: the West is strong and the East is weak is clearly visible!

Inside, this is the advantage of the West Army,
At this time, the NBA is still in the era of those who win the basket. Even if O'Neal is injured, due to the existence of Shifo Duncan, Admiral David Robinson, Wolf King Garnett, Postman Malone, Webber and others, the physical condition of the West It is still obviously crushing the East, and the big men in the West are not only highly skilled but also capable of being the finisher of the attack or the initiator of the attack.

Not long after the start of the game, it seemed that people's predictions before the game were confirmed.The western troops made full use of their inside advantages and played like a duck to water to make the east unstoppable.

Although the eastern interior is suppressed, it is very powerful on the outside.After Ray Allen led the counterattack with nine of the East's first 11 points at the start of the second quarter, Carter, the 9 All-Star vote leader and the previous year's dunk champion, used an astonishing offense to put The arena "ignited", passing Kobe Bryant in one step, turning a 2001-degree dunk in the air,
Young Carter is really omnipotent!

But in the end, the East was still 19 points behind.

19 points behind, and the opponent is a strong Western star, many people think that this game has no suspense.

However, a small man of 1 meters did not give up.

Iverson, who was sitting on the bench after the third quarter, said to his teammates: "Why not us, why can't we reverse 19 points?"

East team head coach Brown said: "This is the All-Star Game, we can just forget about it, but what happened next is completely beyond my expectations, and I still don't quite understand how they did it. ."

Coach Brown and Iverson are masters and apprentices who love and kill each other. Iverson's recalcitrance troubles Brown, but Iverson's perseverance makes Brown appreciate it.

With nine minutes left in the fourth quarter, the score was 9-95 and the West had a 74-point lead.

The game entered the suspension stage, and Iverson walked to the scoreboard: "Does anyone dare to make a bet with me that we can come back?"

Iverson gave the answer immediately. After rebounding, he hovered and scored. Iverson's agility, jumping ability, air force and flexibility, and a series of talents were vividly reflected, and it also reflected his never giving up. determination!
After that, out of control, Iverson started his big counter-offensive, like a sharp sword, pierced the defense line of the west army again and again, and led the east army to blast a 6-26 attack wave in 5 minutes.When Iverson hit the bottom of the basket again, the score was 105-104, the East took the lead, and the loud "MVP" sounded from the MCI Center in Washington. The fans were shocked by Iverson's performance. In the little man's heart, a huge battle flame was burning.

The so-called classics are fragments that stand the test of time!If the game ends here, it will make people feel that something is missing, but a classic battle is destined to have more amazing content.

So, a man named Kobe stood up, yes, the man we are familiar with!

When Iverson set off a wave of counter-offensive, and most of the Western stars were panicked by this wave, only Kobe Bryant remained calm. He hit three consecutive jumpers, allowing the West to regain the lead.

Among Kobe's three goals, it was Marbury who defended Kobe. This was the first All-Star selection in Marbury's NBA career. Compared with Kobe's All-Star entry in 1998, he was a little nervous. However, on the offensive end , Marbury recovered the loss with profit, and he scored two three-pointers in a row, making the East team overtake 28-111 with 110 seconds left in the game.

"We were down by as much as 21 points at one point, and being able to come back and overtake, that's the big heart," Marbury said. , it feels like a dream come true.”

After Marbury made a three-pointer, the West team still had a chance. They gave this opportunity to Kobe. After Kobe got the ball, he swayed Marbury with a fake. Mutombo rushed over to help defense. In defense, Kobe's passing is reasonable, but Kobe has always been "give me the damn ball" character. His reasonable pass this time caught Duncan a little off guard.Under Carter's interference, Duncan missed the shot and the West team missed the opportunity.

"I was expecting Kobe to make this shot," Duncan said. "I was in the open and he passed the ball and I should have made it, but I didn't. The last few minutes of this game were great. already."

Regarding his last-minute choice, Kobe explained: "I read the defense, Tim was in a better shot position, and I passed it without thinking much."

When Duncan missed a shot, the final whistle sounded, and the East completed a 111-110 reversal. This was the first time since 1977 that the NBA All-Star Game had only one point difference. Iverson, Marbury and other Eastern stars were excited. Howling in the sky, such a game has surpassed the category of All-Stars.

"It was like a Finals game," Mutombo said. "I've played seven All-Star games and I've never seen anything like this."

The whole game, Uncle Mu and Garnett each sent three blocks, Uncle Mu even scored 22 rebounds, and Duncan also had 14 rebounds.If Iverson hadn't led the team to fight back in the final quarter, perhaps the final MVP would have been Kobe's.

Kobe Bryant scored 17+7+4 data in the whole game, of which assists and points were the highest in the West, but Iverson was so clueless that year, he scored 25+2+5 data, and at the same time 4 steals, and finally led the team to complete the big reversal.

Iverson scored 25 points in the whole game, 15 of which came from the last 9 minutes of the game. He won the All-Star Game MVP trophy and became the star of the stars. This is the best interpretation of the era of basketball perfused by iron blood.

This was the most soul-stirring All-Star Game in Lu Yu's memory.

It's a pity that Lu Yu has missed this timeline. Lu Yu knows that the era of star-making belonging to Iverson has passed.

Since the alliance wants to make a star, it is impossible to catch Iverson alone.

In particular, Iverson's performance this year is not good, and because of the contradictions with the team, there are already some signs of not being well controlled.

The Alliance will definitely find a way to pick another suitable star-making target.

That object is likely to be Kobe Bryant, who unfortunately missed the MVP last year - the league has seen the potential to become a superstar from him.

However, Lu Yu felt that Kobe must also feel boring for the free MVP.
